Chapter 96 Trap
"The aliens were unable to attack for a long time, and they were unwilling to lose their troops and generals, so they withdrew. After a long time, they must have become impatient. Did Xiaokuan want to implement countermeasures at that time?" Liu Bian asked with bright eyes.

"Your Majesty's expectation is not bad, this minister is exactly this plan." Wei Xiaokuan praised.

"When Xiao Kuan first arrived under Zhen Zhen's command, I didn't know what position to treat him with. After much deliberation, I gave Xiao Kuan the position of Commander of Jin Yiwei. Now it seems that it is very suitable!" Liu Bian was satisfied. laughed.

Wei Xiaokuan used anti-indirect tactics, and at the same time controlled people's psychology, he even had to calculate the time well, which made Liu Bian feel that he had chosen the right person.

Wei Xiaokuan picked up the wine glass, shook his head, then drank it down, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, I wanted to be a general in charge of troops, but I didn't think that the position of Jin Yiwei was more attractive to me! Now I feel that the job of Jin Yiwei is more important than leading soldiers. Fighting is much more interesting!"

"Haha, as long as Xiaokuan likes it, Jinyiwei uses it well, and it is more intimidating than a million soldiers. If it succeeds this time, it will be the first success of Jinyiwei's fame!"

Wei Xiaokuan's eyes were fiery: "I will live up to your Majesty's trust!"

"Go, drink!"

A harmonious scene between the monarch and his subjects.

Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in a flash.

In Yinguan City, everything is safe and sound. Although the weather is getting colder and colder, there is wood prepared in advance for heating. The people’s food is not enough. Liu Bian also opened a porridge shed, and there are delicious rice porridge for three meals a day , Big cakes for the people to eat.

In Yanmen, a poor place, 10,000+ people are crowded in Yinguan City, but no one starves to death.

Two miles away from the city, there is a foreign army stationed, divided into four parts and guarding in front of the four city gates.

The Qiang people guarded one gate, the Xianbei guarded one gate, and the Huns had two guards.

More than ten days passed, and there was no movement in Yinguan City. The aliens had been keeping a close eye on Yintang before, but now their defenses gradually relaxed.Some even thought about going home. Their wives and children were still waiting for them.

There was no movement in Yinguan City, and these alien races were in a hurry. If they wanted to leave, if they didn't loot anything, maybe this winter, the cattle and sheep in reserve would be slaughtered. The loss on the grassland might be heavy, and some even died of starvation. indefinite.

But not only failed to plunder, but also lost the lives of more than 1 warriors, it is really not reconciled!

As time went by, Qu Li and Hu Naxie were anxious like ants on a hot pot, drinking alcohol all day long to relieve their worries.

That night, Wei Xiaokuan took advantage of the darkness to climb down from the city wall with a few masters of Jinyiwei, and headed straight for Quli's army.

"Stop, who are you?" Several Qiang cavalry stopped Wei Xiaokuan and his party.

Wei Xiaokuan remained unmoved, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "I am the envoy of the Great Han Emperor, and I am here to ask to see your leader!"

"Han people? I think you are looking for death? Drag me down and chop!" Several Qiang soldiers were furious.

Wei Xiaokuan sneered and said: "It doesn't matter if you kill me, you are not afraid of delaying the important affairs of your family's leader? Hurry up and inform your family's leader, and tell me that I have a clever plan to make the Qiang people rise!"

The eyes of several Qiang cavalrymen changed, and then a leader pointed to a small soldier and said, "Go and inform the leader! The leader decides!"

Soon the soldiers came to Quli's big tent: "Boss, there is a big Han envoy outside the camp gate asking to see him, and he said that it is a wonderful plan to help the rise of our Qiang people, and offer it to the leader!"

"You're not ashamed, and you'll kill them off the bar!" Qu Li sneered.

"Huh? No, let's call them over. I want to see what tricks they have to make our Qiang people rise up!"

There was no progress in the past few days, Qu Li was very upset, thinking that Wei Xiaokuan's presence might be a breakthrough, so he immediately changed his mind.

After a while, Wei Xiaobang came to Quli's tent with a few Jinyi guards.

Qu Li was very restless in his heart, so he didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "You said that there is a clever plan for the rise of our Qiang people, so hurry up and tell me, if you dare to lie to me, you will be torn to pieces!"

"I said yes, of course there is, but I don't know if you dare to do it!" Wei Xiaokuan straightened the Confucian uniform on his body, and sneered.

"Say it quickly, don't beat around the bush!" Qu Li said impatiently.

"I heard that on the Hetao this year, the harvest is not good, and the cattle and sheep are plagued. The reason why you all came out to plunder is because there is not enough food?"

"Everyone knows this, why don't you tell me?"

"The Qiang people are on the Hetao, and they only have a small piece of land in the west. Your family was squeezed out by other Qiang people, and you couldn't stay in Liangzhou, so you entered the Hetao land, but the Hetao land is powerful. The Xiongnu and Xianbei, with them around, it is impossible for your branch to become strong, and now that you are unable to plunder, you may be devastated, and it is even more impossible to prosper!"

Wei Xiaokuan poked Qu Li's sore foot, and Qu Li was furious: "Are you here to ridicule me? Are you looking for death?"

Wei Xiaokuan shook his head and said: "How dare I ridicule the commander, the villain has already said that he has a wonderful plan to prosper the Qiang people to present to the leader!"

"Say it!"

"The leader led the army out this time, and what he asked for was nothing more than food and grass. This time, my majesty promised that as long as the leader is willing to cooperate internally and externally, and work together with our army to defeat the two tribes of Xianbei and the Huns, my majesty is willing to give you [-] stones of food and grass. !"

"Think about it, as long as the Huns and Xianbei are destroyed, the land of Hetao will not be the world of your Qiang people." Wei Xiaokuan laughed.

"Nonsense, my Qiang people and the Xiongnu Xianbei have already intermarried with each other, how could they do such a thing?" Qu Li flatly refused, but the gleam in his eyes told Wei Xiaokuan that he was a little tempted.

"Since the leader gave up this opportunity to raise the Qiang people, and even dominate Hetao, Wei can only say that it is a pity!" Wei Xiaokuan shook his head, with a regretful face, and was about to leave.

"It's a pity that you all came out, but you got nothing. Your clansmen are waiting at home, but you can't give them anything when you go back! Even in winter, countless clansmen starved to death." Wei Xiaokuan sighed , walked towards the door.

Qu Li's face turned bitter when he heard the words. Their Qiang tribe was the weakest in Hetao. Qu Li always wanted to strengthen the Qiang tribe, but when they went out to plunder, they not only got nothing, but also killed two or three out of ten tribes. Among the warriors, Wei Xiaokuan's words immediately touched Qu Li's nerves.

"Mr. stay, Mr. Wei must remember to leave. Although the conditions given by Mr. are attractive, but I also have difficulties!" Qu Li hurriedly pulled Wei Xiaokuan back, and even called him Mr.

With his back turned to Qu Li's face, Wei Xiaokuan flashed a sneer, then returned to normal, turned around and said, "Such a god-given opportunity can help the Qiang people dominate Hetao in one fell swoop, what is there to worry about, why is there any hesitation?"

"Sir, I don't know. Among the [-] allied forces, my Qiang tribe only accounted for [-]. In the previous battle, I was led by the fierce general to kill thousands of people. Now there are only [-] left. The other two tribes add up. There are still [-] because, it is not easy to break them!" Qu Li said anxiously.

"What? There are only [-] cavalry left in your Qiang tribe? I thought there should be more than [-] cavalry, but I didn't expect it to be so small. It seems that the combination of inside and outside will not work!" Wei Xiaokuan pretended to be panicked.

"Yes, sir, my Qiang tribe is the weakest, and there are only so many troops. It's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, sir, but that I don't have the guts to have enough troops!"

In fact, Qu Li still had another worry that he didn't mention, that is, he was afraid that if this plan was really successful, the Han army would kill the donkey and deal with him in turn.

"Sir, can you think of other ways, as long as you can give me the food and grass to help the Qiang people dominate Hetao, I am willing to submit to the Han court!" Qu Li vowed.

"Since the leader is so sincere, I'm not going to hide the truth. Before I came, I actually discussed with His Majesty to join forces with the Xiongnu, and even with Xianbei! But I rejected them all!" Wei Xiaokuan was also moved, pretending to tell the secret Qu Li.

"Ah? What? Then sir, why did you choose our Qiang people? Our Qiang people are the weakest..." Qu Li was startled when he heard this, and he tried to say.

"The leader doesn't know that the Xiongnu surrendered to me, but they occupy the Hetao. They are not satisfied, and even kowtowed repeatedly. Your Majesty already hates the Xiongnu, and no longer trusts the Xiongnu!"

"As for Xianbei, there are stronger forces in Youzhou. Your Majesty is worried that if they dominate Hetao, they may unite with the big Xianbei forces in Youzhou!" Wei Xiaokuan seemed to be telling Qu Li the scene of his dialogue with the emperor. About the general, all informed.

"Although your Qiang people are not as powerful as the Xiongnu and Xianbei, you treat people with sincerity and live in peace with the people in Liangzhou. It should be a helpless thing to come to plunder. Your Majesty believes that if your Qiang people dominate Hetao, you will be able to fight with me. Live in peace!"

"That's right, I, the Qiang people, have always believed in me. If I, the Qiang people, can dominate Hetao, I will definitely surrender to the big man, and Qiu will not commit any crimes!" Qu Li said with enthusiasm, vowing.

"It's a pity that the strength of your Qiang people is too weak, and it is difficult to implement this plan of cooperating with the outside world!" Wei Xiaokuan looked puzzled.

"Sir, I'm thinking about it carefully. Apart from the plan of cooperating with the outside world, is there any strategy to defeat the enemy, which can not only eliminate the Xiongnu Xianbei, but also allow us to rise up the Qiang people!" Qu Li asked urgently.
