4, borrow a knife
Midang was an adult from a tribe of Shaodang Qiang. He was in his early fifties. The years of wind and sand outside the frontier left deep marks on his thin face, and only his eyes were still sharp. His clothes were common to the Qiang people, with their hair left and a white sack wrapped around their heads, and a sheepskin jacket on their outside. The only difference is that there is a necklace made of wolf teeth hanging around their necks, which looks terrifying.
At this moment, he was smiling and talking to the Han leader in front of him who brought supplies to his tribe in urgent need. In order to avoid being annexed by other tribes, he planned to migrate his tribe to the already abandoned Qiang settlement in Baigouju. Yan Li, who happened to be at a disadvantage in the family, was also trying to find foreign aid, and the two sides hit it off as soon as they contacted each other.
This transaction was originally intended to secretly fund these Qiang people in the name of the transaction. Unexpectedly, before leaving, Yan Xing suddenly took his subordinates' cavalry to catch up with the convoy, which made Yan Li's plan fail. The reason why he kept showing his face along the way was to anger Yan Xing and force Yan Xing and others to leave. After all, the Qiang people came here mainly to receive supplies and did not prepare the corresponding trading horses. Although they took out a small number of horses and wanted to stabilize Yan Xing, they still revealed their flaws in order to cover up.
If Yan Xing and his party were not surveillance, Yan Li would use other means to collect some bad horses along the way, or directly colluded with the Qiang people, pretending to be attacked by horse thieves outside the border and lost most of the goods. However, with the uninvited guests of Yan Xing, Yan Li would be in the way of doing anything. In this case, either the Qiang people would even out some of their own horses, or they would directly silence Yan Xing's people and make a death without evidence.
From Yan Li's standpoint, he certainly hoped that the Qiang people could evenly produce horses. After all, if the silence is not done well, not only will the others in the convoy become suspicious, but it will also have a great hindrance to his next plan to return to the clan. Therefore, before the transaction, he had secretly sent someone to inform the Qiang people about this situation. However, from the Qiang people's standpoint, the mysterious party was obviously unwilling to even out his horses. On the contrary, the mysterious party was more inclined to directly silence Yan Xing and others. The two sides had a disagreement, so Yan Li had to negotiate in person. In the end, Yan Feng, who had been connecting the bridge and line, gave an idea to both sides: the mysterious party would come forward later, and the entire scattered goods were seized on the grounds of offending the Qiang people's gods, and the entire scattered goods were seized on the grounds of punishment. In this way, they all met the needs of both sides.
Squinted his triangle eyes and kept pinching a few sparse beards under his jaw, Yan Fenggeng smiled and continued to add: "In order to redeem Yan Xing and others, the clan had to rely on the lord and the mysterious party to negotiate. We happened to use this to deal with each other. The lord helped the lord and the mysterious party to gain a position in the foreign countries. The mysterious party helped the lord and the lord to obtain the lord and the lord and the lord and the lord to gain the lord's position. Isn't that a good idea!"
Before Yan Li could speak, the mystery clapped his hands and shouted, "You Han people's heads are good. In this way, both of us will gain their own benefits. It is really a clever plan!"
Seeing that the mystery party expressed his opinion, Yan Li was not happy, but he slowly spoke after a while: "This method really works now, but my nephew is brave and dozens of idle people can't get close to him. He likes to make friends with gentlemen, and most of his subordinates are fierce and light-death men. If he is not fully prepared, he will be difficult to start!"
Hearing this, the mysterious party laughed: "If it comes to plowing the fields and plowing the land, my Qiang people are not as good as you Han people. But if you talk about this horse-drawn battle, you Han people are probably less than half of our Qiang people. I have a hundred warriors who have driven strong bows and trained horses. It will only take down your nephew's noons for a moment!"
The words of the mysterious party had already insulted the Han people present. Yan Li frowned, but now he was about to use the Qiang people's knife to do things, so he endured it. He bowed to the mysterious party: "Then rely on you!"
The mysterious party received a carefree gift and was about to summon the warriors of the clan to act. The Qiang people in front of the settlement suddenly became noisy, and a sound of horse hooves came. A horse emerged from the dilapidated houses in the front row. The people came with a wide shoulders and strong body. They were carrying a spear on their horses and were aggressive. When they saw the parties to the transaction, they rode their horses and rushed towards them.
"The person coming is Yan Xing!" Yan Feng reacted the fastest among the crowd and shouted at the rushing horse.
When he heard that the person coming was Yan Xing, the mysterious party remembered what Yan Li said just now, this person was brave and good at fighting. He immediately restrained his spirit and ordered the Qiang people who were guarding him loudly: "Catch this person!"
There were many Qiang people in Jincheng, and Yan Xing's cavalry also had Qiang warriors, and Yan Xing was a little familiar with the Qiang language. Seeing a person who was most likely the leader of the Qiang people ordered him to be arrested, while Yan Li and his group were watching from the side. Although they didn't know the agreement that the two sides had just reached, they subconsciously knew that they were one step late.
In adversity, Yan Xing became more and more calm. He accelerated his horse and rushed towards everyone. Facing the Qiang people who rushed towards him, Yan Xing took the lead and stabbed a Qiang people who rushed over to death. He avoided the two spears that were stabbed. He took the opportunity to get off the horse and kicked a Qiang people in front of him. At this time, the followers behind had already arrived. With the speed of the horse, they cut the spear and stabbed the sword. The Qiang guards present suffered a great loss in an instant, killing and injuring seven or eight.
Seeing that these cavalry were so fierce, the mystery party hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly under the escort of the remaining Qiang people, and at the same time ordered a horn to call on other Qiang people. Yan Li and others hurriedly rushed to the horses that they were tied not far away, trying to ride a horse to withdraw from the White Dog Gathering. Yan Xing saw that people from both sides were hiding, and the Qiang people around were also beginning to gather. He became wise in a hurry and shouted at Yan Li: "Uncle no longer needs to be with Hu Zhongxu. The Qiang people who gathered outside have been killed. My nephew came to pick him up. Two or three sons, kill Hu with me!"
Hearing Yan Xing's shout, Yan Li changed his face instantly. Seeing Yan Xing shouting loudly, continuing to rush around with his cavalry, and the other Qiang people who understood Chinese and looked at him with murderous intent, he couldn't help but stop, turned around to face the direction of the mystery party's retreat, he hesitating whether to chase after him to explain clearly. Seeing Yan Li stopping, the thin Yan Feng rushed to his side and grabbed Yan Li's sleeve, and said hurriedly:
"Lord, please leave. This is Yan Xing's trick. The Qiang people have been angry at the moment. There are no arrows on the battlefield. We should withdraw from the family first, and then argue the right and wrong!"
The muscles on Yan Li's face twitched violently for a few times, exhaled a breath of turbid air, turned around and ran towards the Shuanma. Yan Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, and with other confidants and entourages hurriedly followed.
Yan Xing rushed with his followers. Although he did not catch up with the leader of the Qiang people, there were five or six Qiang people who died under the spear. The open space behind the gathering was not large, and the Qiang people arrived one after another with all kinds of long and short weapons. If they were to stay, they would be trapped in a heavy siege. After stabbing another Qiang people, Yan Xing began to order a retreat, so the cavalry turned their horses and covered each other, retreated like a tide, knocked them down along the original path, killing many Qiang people.
The pressure on the front suddenly decreased. The mysterious party, who was emerging behind the pile of soil, saw his tribe members being killed back and forth by Yan Xing, like chopping melons and vegetables. The anger in his chest rushed to his brain instantly. He was so angry that he screamed and ordered:
"Kill all these Han slaves and cut off their heads for me!"
The Qiang people who heard the order gathered together like locusts to chase after them. Yan Xing and others rode their horses quickly and rushed out of the gate of the settlement before the encirclement. Yan Li and others were not so lucky. The confidant who had chased Yan Xing did not dare to break out like Yan Xing and others. As soon as they entered the door, they were stopped by the Qiang people. Now they were rushed up by the angry Qiang people and killed by the sword. Yan Li had a close friend and a guard who was not in a desperate situation, but was still stopped by the Qiang people. Under the attacks of many Qiang people, Yan Li and others were struggling and fell behind the confidant. The entourages were picked off one after another. Fortunately, the Qiang people did not have time to siege and finally rushed out.
Yan Li and others, who were barely breaking through, had no time to be glad. As soon as they ran to the Jumen, they saw that Yan Xing was rushing out and slashing at the Qiang people on the field. Unprepared to guard, the Qiang people had to throw their goods and escape. It turned out that the convoy that was conducting the transaction had retreated to a forest not far outside Baigou Juju. The unloaded vehicles were connected to each other and formed a circular vehicle array.
Yan Li and Yan Feng looked at each other, and their mouths were dry. The Qiang people behind were about to catch up. There were Yan Xing and others showing off their power outside. Yan Li's eyebrows were already frowned into the shape of a Sichuan character. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to return to the convoy and rode their horses to the woods.
Unexpectedly, before getting close to the car array, I saw someone standing at the height of the car array and shouting:
"Those who come will stop, gentlemen have orders, and they will form a carriage. Anyone who dares to invade the formation will be shot and killed!"
Yan Li's only few confidants, and the entourages were furious when they heard this. One of the confidants approached and cursed: "A bad slave, dare to stop the master's family, why don't you move away quickly-"
Before the scolding was over, a man in the car had already shot an arrow. The arrow came strong. Yan Li's confidant was shot off the horse without any reaction. At this moment, Yan Li's people were completely silent and stopped the horses, fearing. Yan Li had a dark face and did not speak. At this moment, he finally saw clearly that the leader of the car was the horse Lin of the Yan family's army. The horses stood beside him were the riders of Yan Xing's subordinates, and the heads of the confidant who had left to command the convoy had been cut off and were inserted into an erect spear next to the carriage array.
Seeing that Yan Li stopped the horse, Ma Lin felt relieved. The change in things had exceeded Yan Xing's original agreement with him. Although he had led the convoy to obey Yan Xing's arrangements, he was also unwilling to let him shoot Yan Li. Now Yan Li stopped and there was still a turning point. He quickly shouted:
"The war is dangerous, please avoid the forest for the time being!"
The situation is stronger than that of a human being. No matter how unwilling Yan Li is, he can only bow his head when his life is at stake. Although he is humiliated, he is better than looking back at the Qiang people who are killing people and the sharp arrows in front of him. So Yan Li glared at Ma Lin on the chariot formation fiercely, turned around and said to Yan Feng and others:
"Let's go!"
Ma Lin looked at Yan Li and stopped the horse and avoided the car formation. He ran into the forest with a disgrace. He felt mixed feelings. He turned his head and looked at the person who had just drawn the bow and smiled bitterly:
"Xiao Wei, your arrow almost scared my heart out just now!"
The cavalry called Xiao Wei grinned and pointed at the Qiang people who were rushing out of the gate and said:
Chapter completed!
