"ally?"
Yan Yi muttered, and couldn't figure out where they got their allies.If you want to say that it is Zhang Wen, the chariot general stationed in Guanzhong, you should also go east, not north.
"The enemy of your enemy is your ally."
Lu Bu looked far into the distance, and the mountains and green forests in front of him came into view.
Then he seemed to think of something, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, "Mr. said."
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
The team of hundreds of people went north along the way, and after five or six days of tossing and turning, they successfully arrived at Gaoping on the edge of Anding County, which was temporarily out of the control of the rebels.
The magistrate of Gaoping County was a well-to-do man in his thirties. When he heard of Lu Bu's arrival, he hurriedly changed into his official uniform, and led a group of government officials from the county to meet him outside the city.
When Lu Bu reached the city gate, he saw the county magistrate Zhou Guang who was greeting him, so he didn't dismount, but informed him that he would rest here for a few days before getting up.
How could Zhou Guang dare to say 'no'? Perhaps in the eyes of the common people, the county magistrate is a top official.However, in the eyes of a general like Lu Bu, his status is only slightly higher than that of ordinary people.
How much is the county magistrate's annual salary?
Two hundred stone.
How much is General Du Liao's annual salary?
Than two thousand stones.
The difference in salary alone is nearly ten times, so there is no need to talk about the status.
Lu Bu rode into the city on a red dodder, followed by hundreds of horsemen, advancing one by one.
Both sides of the streets in the city are full of onlookers, some with long necks, some with their own dolls in their arms, all of them are looking this way.The expressions on their faces were different, some were excited, some were novelty, and some could not hide their worries...
Suddenly a huge cavalry team stationed here, is it possible that Gaoping is about to start fighting here?
The common people feel uneasy in their hearts. To them, the most important thing is to live a smooth and stable life. No one likes war.
At noon, the county magistrate Zhou Guang prepared a banquet, and specially asked his servants to slaughter the head sheep, and cleanse Lu Bu up in the county mansion.
During the banquet, Zhou Guang toasted again and again, flattering and flattering the two generals on the guest seats.
Good things, everyone likes to hear them.
Therefore, Lu Bu and Yan Yi had a pretty good impression of the county magistrate.
After drinking for three rounds, the food on the table was eaten up.
Zhou Guang glanced at the two people below, and asked tentatively: "You two generals, do you want to retreat north?"
If he really couldn't resist the front, then he had to plan to run away early. I heard that those rebels were fierce, and every time they captured a place, they would kill the corrupt officials in the county.
Zhou Guang had been a commander in Gaoping for seven or eight years. Although he hadn't done anything harmful to nature, he had done a lot of petty greed and petty gain.
Once the rebels captured Gaoping, they would surely be doomed after knowing his misdeeds.
"You, a mere county magistrate, can intervene in the affairs of the military. Could it be that if you want to connect with the Qiang people, you secretly respond to it!" Yan Yi frowned, put the wine bottle in his hand heavily on the desk, and asked coldly.
Sweat came out of Zhou Guang's forehead, and he waved his hand quickly: "The lower official is loyal to the big man, but Zhao Riyue, how can he do that kind of collusion with traitors? If the general doesn't believe it, the lower official can point out I swear to God to prove my innocence."
Just when Zhou Guang was about to kneel down and swear, Lu Bu came out to stop him, and took the initiative to act as a peacemaker, and said to Yan Yi: "General Yan, the county magistrate of Zhou just made a slip of the tongue. If he is a rebel insider, then You will entertain us with all your heart, what do you think?"
Zhou Guang nodded his head quickly, his heart pounding.He originally wanted to understand the movement of the rebel army so that he could find a way out for himself in advance, but he accidentally touched the forbidden line of spying on the military situation.
Yan Yi stared at Zhou Guang for a long time, then looked away, and said displeasedly: "Since General Lu begged for you, let's make a note this time, if you commit another crime next time, this general will definitely not forgive you lightly!"
"The lower official knows, knows."
Knowing that he had escaped, the county magistrate bowed his body and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, but he didn't notice that the two people with red faces below looked at each other and smiled for a moment.
"Where does the county magistrate know where the leader of the Eastern Qiang people is?" Lu Bu took a sip of his wine and mentioned the main purpose of his visit.
The Qiang people are of various races, which can be subdivided into more than [-] or [-] species, and can also be classified into two major branches, Eastern and Western.
The Xiqiang people live in the Longxi, Hanyang and Jincheng areas. This time, the Xiqiang people are the main force in the rebellion.The Eastern Qiang people mostly lived together with the Han people and were active in the three areas of Anding, Beidi, and Shangjun.
The Eastern Qiang people can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, and later in the Han Dynasty, when the Western Qiang was in civil strife, a large part of them migrated to the east, merged with the original Eastern Qiang people, and formed a new Eastern Qiang.
This group of Qiang people who had migrated was the ally Lu Bu was looking for.
Ever since he fought against the rebellion in Xiliang, he has been jumping around on other people's chessboard.Now that he has stepped out of the chessboard, of course he has to be happy, just to repay the behind-the-scenes.
I don't know what your intentions are, but if you didn't kill me back then, then you have to be prepared to be madly retaliated by me.
What ghosts and snakes dare to step on my head without making a sound, do you really think I'm easy to bully?
When Lu Bu escaped from Xihe Valley, he had already made up his mind: I don't know how to make arrangements, so I will come to disrupt the situation and disturb him.
Anyway, Liangzhou has become a mess, so it's not bad for me.
Hearing Lu Bu's question, Zhou Guang shook his head, he is just an ordinary county magistrate, how could he make friends with those big Qiang people.
But just now Lu Bu pleaded for him, Zhou Guang still kept this kindness in his heart.He looked at Lu Bu, and said slowly: "The Qiang leaders and officials do not know, but at the end of this month, it is the Qiang people's sacrifice ceremony. This is an extremely important festival for them, and many Qiang leaders will go to worship and sacrifice. If the general If you want to find it, you might as well go there and try it.”
"Where is it?" Lu Bu asked immediately.
Zhou Guang shook his head again, "This lower official has no way of knowing, the place they hold is different every year, I suggest you go further north and ask, maybe you can find out."
It seemed that the county magistrate really didn't know, so Lu Bu didn't force others to do anything difficult.
After resting for three days, Lu Bu led the army and set off on the road, still heading north.
After leaving Gaoping, he soon entered the border of Beidi County.
The number of Qiang people along the way gradually increased, and Lu Bu also asked many people, but these Qiang people didn't seem to have any good feelings for the Han army.
Lu Bu had no choice but to continue north.
The emperor paid off, and when the team arrived at Jiecheng, Lu Bu finally learned the exact location of the Qiang people's sacrifice to heaven—Zuogu.
The county magistrate in the city was still enthusiastic, cooking sheep and cooking food to greet Lu Bu and his soldiers.
Lu Bu also learned some basic information from the county magistrate. The Qiang people did not allow the Han government to intervene in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
Also, for such a traditional big festival, Qiang people must wear national costumes to be eligible to participate.
After Lu Bu learned about it, a few days before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, he got two sets of Qiang people's clothes and put them on with Chen Wei.
As for Yan Yi and the rest of the soldiers, they stayed in Jiejie City.
