Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 176 Zai Qu Shang, Jiang Shang's Shang
In Changning County, the Qu family mansion is holding a Qu clan meeting. Except for Qu Ping, the branch patriarch in Linqiang County, all the branch patriarchs are present, whispering to each other and discussing a lot.

This was already the second time within seven days that Qu Ping was absent from the clan assembly.

Of course, Qu Ping's absence is difficult, and it has been authorized by the patriarch Qu Yun.

Qu Yun knew very well that Qu Ping must not leave Linqiang County. The latter is currently facing a huge trouble-the Bald Xianbei tribe led by Bald Shoutian is attacking Qu Ping's tribe.

This is also the main reason why Qu Yun held the clan assembly this time.

Since the rebellion of Bianzhang and Han Sui in Liangzhou in the second year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (185), the people of Liangzhou either went south to Shu, or east to Hanzhong, or died in the war, and the number of Han people decreased.On the contrary, there are more and more Qiang people, and the range of activities is getting wider and wider.

The Qu family, originally distributed in the three eastern counties, also had to shrink their territory to Xiping and Jincheng.

In the 20th year of Jian'an (215 years), Cao Cao pacified Yongliang, and the Qiang people who had been rampant in Liangzhou for 30 years died, fled, and surrendered, leaving Liangzhou empty.

As one of the few Han people in Liangzhou, life in the Qu family suddenly became better.Take the opportunity to disperse the clansmen, regain the ancestral land, and spread the branches and leaves.

But such a beautiful situation only lasted for a few years, and it came to an end due to the sudden appearance of visitors from Saibei.

Tuoba Pigu led a Xianbei tribe, moved south to Liangzhou, and settled in the three eastern counties.

Tuoba Pigu was originally the eldest son of Tuoba Jufen, the leader of the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei tribe in the northern part of Saipan.

In the first year of Cao Wei Huangchu (220), Tuoba Jufen, a master of the Tuoba tribe, passed away. His second son, Tuoba Liwei, was established as the leader (the emperor of the Northern Wei and Yuan Dynasties) because his mother was a "celestial girl" and had a magical appearance. Although Pi Gu was the eldest son, he could not succeed to the throne.

Tuoba Pigu was resentful and led a group of people to leave, from the Yinshan and Hetao areas in the north of Saibei, along the Yellow River, along the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains, to the north of Hexi and Longxi.

Later, they gradually settled in the surrounding areas of Linqiang County, Xiping County, Liangzhou.

Tuoba Pigu's son Shoutian was born in the quilt, which is called "bald hair" in Xianbei language, and Tuoba Shoutian was called bald hair Shoutian, and this Xianbei tribe got its name from this, called bald hair department.

All the people in the tribe complained that the leader Tuoba Pigu could not succeed to the throne, so they simply changed their surname to the Tufa family and abandoned the original Tuoba surname.

In the eighth year of Jianxing in the Shu Han Dynasty (230), that is, this year, Tuoba Pigu passed away, and his son Bald Shoutian succeeded him as the leader. Bald Xianbei changed his gentle style of the previous ten years and began to become aggressive.

After ten years of peaceful development, the bald-haired Xianbei tribe has grown stronger day by day, and its nomadic range has gradually expanded. It soon bordered on the Qu family entrenched here, and frictions often occurred due to land grabs.

The first to bear the brunt of the conflict was the Qu family in Linqiang County, that is, the branch of the Qu family under the leadership of Qu Ping.

The bald-haired Xianbei tribe now has a population of tens of thousands, which is almost the same as that of the Qu family.

In this era, when encountering this kind of territory grabbing behavior, it is usually done by force.

Whoever has the biggest fist and whoever strikes hard is the one who has the final say.

Bald-haired Shoutian rode a horse and drew a circle far away from Linqiang County in Hexi, notifying the Qu family here that no matter who belonged to Linqiang County in the past, from now on, it is the territory of Xianbei.

After Qu Ping learned of this, he was immediately unhappy.

Qu's family is from a noble family in Liangzhou, and they have been standing in Xizhou for a hundred years. When did they receive this kind of bird spirit?

Enclosure?

Ha ha!

The two sides faced each other tit-for-tat, not giving an inch, and every time they met, they were extremely jealous, and they would fight hard without saying a word.

However, due to the small number of soldiers, the Linqiang Qu family suffered repeated losses in the confrontation with the bald Xianbei, so they had to shrink their defenses, retreat to the city, and call for help from the Qu family headquarters to shake people.

Qu Yun, the new patriarch of the Qu family, felt overwhelmed by this, and had to hold an expanded family meeting to discuss countermeasures.

The Qu family is a noble family in Liangzhou, with ambition flowing in their bones.

After several failed campaigns against the Wei Dynasty, the size of the Qu family is now much smaller than before. There are only [-] to [-] clan members left, and the clan soldiers number as many as [-].

To be honest, Qu Yun didn't want to start a war with the bald Xianbei at this moment.

But making peace is not going to work.

Bald Shoutian disagreed to make peace.

In the world of the Xianbei people, there is no reconciliation at all. What they pursue is "Either I beat you to surrender, or you beat me to surrender."

The situation is obviously beyond the scope of human control.

So this time Qu Yun did not sit back in the main seat as usual and talk with everyone, but stood up straight with a serious expression and looked around everyone.

"The Qu family is facing a crisis now, do you have a good plan?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was quiet for a moment, and then a more intense discussion began.

An old man with a long beard stood up, cleared his throat, and waited for everyone's eyes to come to him, then stroked his beard and proposed:

"Patriarch, as the saying goes: Take a step back and let the sea and the sky be brighter, so that the three-pointers can be calm. Our clan is in a weak time, and we urgently need to recuperate. It is not suitable to fight with the bald Xianbei. Why don't we just tolerate it for a while?"

endure?
Qu Yun looked at him calmly, and asked back: "Clan elder, if I retreat three points today and Xianbei advances one foot tomorrow, what should I do then?"

"This, this, this..." The long-bearded elder hesitated and couldn't answer, and knelt and sat back with shame on his face.

A young strong man nine feet tall and nine feet wide stood up and said proudly: "Patriarch, then fight them! Xianbei has a hero, and our clan also has warriors. Qubu is willing to be the pioneer, and the bald Xianbei Let's fight to the death and drive them out of Liangzhou!"

Qu Yun looked at Qu Bu, a strong nine-foot-tall man, and fell silent.

Qu Bu is quite courageous, and his weapon is a 108-jin glamorous saw. He often claims that he is the reincarnation of Xiang Yu, the reincarnation of the overlord, and that the heroes of the world are no more than mediocre.

If he was born 30 years earlier, how could there be anything about Lu Bu?

People like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are only assigned to lead horses; people like Ma Chao and Zhao Yun are only assigned to carry swords!

The rest like Huang Zhong, Sun Ce, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, etc. are all insignificant!
No one will be his enemy!
However, Qu Yun, who knew Qu Bu's background well, would not be fooled by the former's rebellious words, so he waved his hand noncommittally, motioning him to sit down first.

"Let me think twice about this matter."

It is impossible to back down. The Qu family has stood in Liangzhou for a hundred years, and if they back down, their backbone will be broken.

But it is not the best policy to go to war with Xianbei blindly.

Not to mention that the bald-haired Xianbei has a large number of people, and all the tribes are brave and good at fighting, so they are not easy to deal with.

Once a fight is fought, many consequences are unpredictable.

As the patriarch, you need to consider the safety and prosperity of the whole clan.

In fact, the solution to this problem is also very simple. Qu Yun just needs to give in to Wei Guo completely, send his son to Luoyang as a hostage, then shrink the defense line, pretending to be beaten badly by the bald Xianbei, and then On the grounds of disturbing the order of Liangzhou or alien invasion, Wei Guo sent troops to suppress the bald Xianbei.

By doing this, you can preserve your strength and let the bald Xianbei have a taste of the power of the Great Wei cavalry.

But Qu Yun couldn't make such a decision anyway.

Not to mention that he only has one son, so he was reluctant to be sent to Luoyang as a hostage.

The Qu family and the Wei state had a deep blood feud, how could the blood of the previous patriarchs be shed in vain?
Although he has no choice but to submit to Wei State temporarily, Qu Yun has always had a strong idea in his heart that one day, he will rise up against Wei, embrace Liang, and separatize the territory.

Recreate the glory of the Qu family dominating Liangzhou in the past!
But how difficult is the road.

Qu Yun frowned deeply, feeling helpless for a while.

The clansmen looked at the young patriarch quietly, and no one expressed any opinion.

There was nothing they could do.

There was a long, deathly silence in the Koji's lobby.

After a long time, another member of the tribe stood up and proposed "to unite with Shu, oppose Wei, and resist Xianbei".

Qu Yun followed the prestige and saw a young clansman with wise eyes, named Qu Shang, whose name was Jialiang.

Qu Shang, whose real name is Qu Shan, was fond of reading and strategizing since he was a child. He often sat on the bank of the Yellow River and sighed while hugging his knees. He compared himself to Jiang Ziya, Jia Xu, and Zhuge Liang.So he changed his name to Qu Shang, with the word Xu Liang, implying the combination of the strengths of the three, who are the outstanding talents of this era.

He said that the current behavior of the bald-haired Xianbei is to provoke the Han people, to act recklessly, and to invade unscrupulously. The most vicious counterattack must be given to prove the pride of the Han people of the Qu family.

The creed of the Han people has always been, those who offend us will be killed, and those who invade us will be punished!

This proposal was approved by many members of the clan, including some of Qu Yun's cronies, confidants, and respected members of the clan.

Even Qu Yun's eyes lit up for an instant, and he stared straight at Qu Shang, asking the latter to explain in detail how to unite with Shu, how to oppose Wei, and how to resist bald Xianbei.

Qu Shang explained his plan in detail.

The plan can be summed up in one sentence: get in touch with the governor of Yongzhou in the Shu Han Dynasty, the general who conquered the west, the captain who protects the Qiang...

Ma Di.

Qu Yun nodded repeatedly.

Immediately after the meeting, people were sent to investigate all the information on Ma Di.Soon, all the information about Ma Di came together one by one.

Even Ma Di himself has arrived in Changning County.

After hearing this information, Qu Yun was taken aback.

Surprised, Ma Su silently suppressed all five tribes of Qiang people by intimidating force or instigating rebellion with gentleness, or by infiltrating into the Qiang people.

Second surprised Ma Su came so fast.

In other words, the Xiqiang that is now active in the eastern plateau no longer exists.

This news was tightly sealed by the two countries of Shu and Wei, and Qu Yun didn't know about it until today.

Before that, he had heard about Ma Su's reputation, the fact that the latter had won several battles against the Wei State, and the recent Battle of Liangzhou between Wei and Shu, where Zhang He was defeated and almost all the cavalry of the Wei Army were wiped out.

At that time, he didn't delve into why Ma Di was able to win, but secretly rejoiced that after Wei's defeat, his control over Liangzhou would definitely decline.Then, the next day of the Koji family will be better.

Then the Xianbei enclosure occurred.

If the Qu family can really unite with Ma Di, it would be an excellent strategy to break the current predicament.

However, if you want to successfully reach a cooperation intention with Ma Su, the price you pay must not be small.

In addition, what Qu Yun was worried about was that Ma Di appeared in Changning County at this very moment, and the timing was not a coincidence.

For a moment, he even suspected that Qu Shang was a spy sent by Ma Su.But then he laughed dumbfounded, throwing this suspicion out of his mind.

——He and Qu Shang have known each other since childhood. The latter is a family scholar with an extraordinarily arrogant personality, so it is impossible for him to be related to Ma Su.

Therefore, the arrival of Ma Di is God's help to the Qu family!

Qu Yun looked around, and said in a deep voice, "Come here, with the highest standard of etiquette, please invite Ma Di!"

"Wait! I will invite you myself!"

——

——

Linqiang County.

Qu Family Courtyard.

Qu Ping, with all his beard and hair, was like a fierce tiger that would prey on anyone. All the clansmen and servants trembled in front of him, not daring to take a breath.

Until a confidant trotted in to report: "Patriarch, the distress letter has been sent out, and the bald-haired Xianbei has also retreated!"

"it is good!"

Qu Ping's gloomy face finally eased a little, and he cheered up for himself and his clansmen:

"That bald-haired Shoutian is so arrogant and arrogant. He deceived me that there is no one in Qu's family. If he does not avenge this revenge, I, Quping, swear not to be a human being! I have predicted that within a few days, this person will die without a place to bury him!"

The confidant hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Patriarch, the bald-haired Shoutian said when he retired that he would come back tomorrow..."

Qu Ping glanced at his confidant angrily, and the confidant immediately showed a look of panic on his face, and quickly waved his fist to declare: "Xianbei must be defeated, and the Qu family must win!!"

……

Changning County.

Cross Street.

The No.15 circle where Ma Di and the four of them strolled in the street.

Zhang Xiu asked worriedly: "General, does Qu Yun not want to see us?"

Ma Su looked to the side, "Xiao Dai, what do you think of this matter?"

Dai Ling shook his head: "I heard from Xu Miao that Qu Yun always thinks highly of himself. Xu Miao visited three times in the past, but he never saw him."

Ma Su nodded and turned to Zhao Yun: "Old General Zhao, what do you think?"

"Look at Zhao..." In the middle of speaking, Zhao Yun suddenly stroked his beard pretending to be profound, and stopped talking.

"how?"

"how?"

Zhang Xiu and Dai Ling questioned together.

Whether Qu Yun sees or not is related to the smoothness of the trip, and the two of them cannot help but care.

Zhao Yun laughed, "Qu Yun is definitely willing to meet with me, and if he doesn't want to meet, he will come to greet him in person."

Dai Ling and Zhang Xiu looked at each other, and the latter said, "Why is the old general so sure?"

Zhao Yun smiled and waved his hands: "Well, when scoring, sometimes it is certain, and sometimes it is not."

"When?" The two asked again.

Zhao Yun raised his arm and pointed behind the two of them: "When Qu Yun brought people to meet him, the old man will be sure."

"..."

The two hurriedly turned their heads to look, and they saw a group of people coming from the other side of the street.

The leader is about 30 years old, with a particularly handsome appearance, and a long beard that is stroked three times under the jaw, which looks impressive.

Qu Yun didn't notice the surprised expressions of Dai Ling and Zhang Xiu, and clasped his hands from a long distance away and said, "Mr. Ma is here, Qu Yun is late, so I'm rude, I'm rude."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Ma Su happily went up to meet him, and bowed his hands in return.Secretly sighing in his heart, it is really useful to have the feeling of Dai Ling who knows the basics and internal responses. It is worthwhile for him to spend so long driving Dai Ling to a corner... Ahem, he brought Dai Ling under his command.

From Qu Yun's enthusiastic attitude, Ma Di felt that this time he was attacking the copy of "Jin Xiwu" and even in reality, he was attacking the three eastern counties of Liangzhou.

There is a play!

After the ceremony, Ma Di looked past Qu Bu, a nine-foot strong man behind Qu Yun, and stopped at Qu Shang, a handsome scribe, and asked curiously, "This gentleman, what's your name?"

No wonder Ma Di was curious, this person was indeed the fourth person he saw with such arrogant eyes.

The first three are Yang Yi, Wei Yan, Liu Yan...

It's hard not to notice him with that kind of arrogant arrogance.

Qu Shang cupped his hands slightly, and said calmly, "My name is Qu Shang, whose name is Jialiang, Jiang Shang's Shang, Guo Jia's Jia, Zhuge Liang's Liang!"

hiss~
This name... is too awesome!
The four of Ma Su gasped.
