Chapter 31 Huangshui Qiang Chief

Liu Fan admired Xun Yu's active thinking and calm demeanor very much, and he became more and more aware of the importance of a strategist.

Plan and act, think twice before acting. No matter how perfect Liu Fan thinks alone, there will always be flaws. A top strategist can make up for his shortcomings and even create perfection.

Before he knew it, Liu Fan thought of Jia Xu again, the man who had made plans in history. Every time he made a plan, the lord would return victoriously, and if he didn't listen, he would return without success.

"It will take about a month for the Yellow River to freeze. I will go to Guzang again tomorrow." Liu Fan was eager to seek talent and decided to secretly.

After Liu Fan returned to the military camp, he immediately called Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, Liu Jiang and Liu Hai to his tent, and told them that he was going to Wuwei again and asked Jia Xu to come out of the mountain.

"My lord is going to Wuwei again. It took more than twenty days to go there. Today I saw a thin layer of ice on the Yellow River. I am afraid that it will not take long before the Huns will cross the Yellow River." Liu Jiang said anxiously.

"Zihao, you must know that it is not as cold as a day. It is still far from the day when the ice is three feet long." Liu Fan spoke calmly. Liu Fan had already inquired about the fisherman who lived by the river.

Zihao is Liu Jiang's face. Liu Jiang and Liu Hai have always called Liu Fan the master before. At first, I didn't think anything was wrong. It might be because I got used to it. However, after entering the military camp, I always felt that it was particularly harsh when I was called the master, so Liu Fan ordered Liu Jiang and Liu Hai to call him the master like Guan Yu and others.

"Don't worry, my army has more than 5,000 troops, why are we afraid of the two or three thousand Huns? Although the three hundred cavalry have not yet been trained in cavalry, they are all elite soldiers on the offensive battle. If the Huns really cross the river in advance, I will dig a trap and prepare a tripping horse rope. I will lead 300 elite soldiers to rush straight to the central army and behead their leader. Gongming and Yuan Fu will lead 5,000 soldiers to form a formation to meet the enemy. The Huns are not worth worrying about!" Guan Yu's phoenix eyes flashed with sharp edges, and his tone of speaking did not take the Huns seriously at all. He was proud again.

"Okay, Yun Chang won my heart deeply, and it is really outstanding. However, it is inevitable to win like this, but our army will suffer heavy losses. I have already calculated the period. Before the Huns cross the river, I will definitely return." Liu Fan first praised Guan Yu, and expressed his willingness to not want the army to suffer too much.

Guan Yu was very comfortable with the word "Excellent" but he didn't know that this word was invented by Zhuge Liang of later generations for him.

"I wish the lord a good journey and will definitely invite Mr. Jia Xu back this time." Zhou Cangkou was so clumsy. He only knew that Jia Xu was an amazing talent.

"The blessing of the blessing of the original blessing." Liu Fan smiled, then changed his tone and said seriously: "Don't relax after I leave."

"No." Guan Yu, Xu Huang and others responded in unison.

The next morning, Liu Fan took the Qingxuan Sword, wore a thick robe, and rode a horse out of the military camp.

Liu Fan's route was the same as before. He first crossed the Fen River, then crossed the Yellow River through the Dayu Ferry in Puban County to Feng Xu, and walked on the Yongliang straight road.

Dayu Ferry is just a small ferry, usually used by civilians, and a little lower reaches. There is a ferry called Fengling Du. Fengling Du is the first Yellow River Ferry today. It is at the corner of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, turning north to south and east. It is the fortress of Qin, Jin, and Yu, and it grasps the lifelines of Hexi, Hedong, Central Plains, and Guanzhong. It has been a place that military strategists have fought for since ancient times.

Eight days later, Liu Fan came to Jincheng County, and after passing Jincheng, it was the territory of Wuwei. Liu Fan saw that the sun was about to tilt to the west mountain, and planned to find a town to rest. After running for another day, the people and horses were very tired.

Before Liu Fan could run along the road for a quarter of an hour, he heard a fight in front of him. Liu Fan looked at it and saw hundreds of people wearing all the clothes of Qianghu, and these were all Qiang people.

Jincheng County was originally a place where Han and Hu lived together, and some Western Qiang tribes lived in the Hehuang area. Since Duan Yi wiped out the Eastern Qiang and pacified the Western Qiang, the Qiang tribes did not dare to disturb the Han area, and the Qiang guards also had some authority in the Qiang tribes.

Liu Fan was preparing to take a detour, but there was no need for Liu Fan to get involved in their internal conflicts.

But Liu Fan was riding a horse and disturbed the Qiang people. The Qiang people were divided into two sides, one side with nearly a hundred people and the other side with less than twenty people. The fewer side obviously couldn't hold on.

"Catch him." A Qiang man shouted in Qiang language.

Then more than a dozen Qiang people got on their horses and rushed towards Liu Fan with swords.

Although Liu Fan couldn't understand what he was saying, he knew that they were coming to kill him by looking at their actions. Could it be that he had broken their good things?

Escape? How is it possible? Liu Fan doesn't want to cause trouble, but it means he is afraid of things.

Liu Fan pulled out the Qingxuan Sword from his waist. It seemed that the Qingxuan Sword was about to see blood today, so he rushed over.

In just one breath, Liu Fan passed by among the ten Qiang people. When the ten Qiang people's horses ran forward ten meters, their necks were bleeding and they all fell to the ground.

Liu Fan practiced the murder sword, which was not only fast, but also cruel.

The Qiang people were shocked, but Liu Fan was not so easy to let it go. If someone did not offend me, I would not offend others. If someone offends me, I would definitely offend others. Liu Fan rode his horse and continued to rush towards the Qiang people who just called out.

"Stop him, block him for me!" The Qiang man shouted loudly to his subordinates.

The Qiang man was the leader of this group of people. At this moment, he was about to regret it. Why did he provoke this god of killing if he had nothing to do? When he saw Liu Fan alone, he was afraid that Liu Fan would ride a horse to sue the officials, and then the government sent troops to encircle and suppress them.

A group of Qiang people instantly divided dozens of people and attacked Liu Fan with weapons.

Liu Fan pulled the reins hard, and the horse stopped in place quickly. He turned over and dismounted to fight because he was holding short weapons and was not suitable for fighting with people under the horse.

Liu Fan's long sword flipped and wandered among the crowd. The Qingxuan sword was extremely sharp and could easily cut off the enemy's weapons. While resisting the enemy, he killed the enemy, but none of them was his one-union enemy. Dozens of people were killed by Liu Fan in a short time, and the remaining people retreated desperately, fearing Liu Fan like a devil.

The leader of the Qiang people was afraid of death and did not dare to fight against Liu Fan, so he quickly ran away. Liu Fan picked up a spear from the ground and threw it at the leader of the Qiang people. One spear penetrated from the back. The remaining Qiang people surrounding another group of Qiang people were frustrated and frightened, and they all scattered like birds and beasts.

After taking a look at the remaining group of Qiang people, Liu Fan turned around and left. The group was besieged. Liu Fan saved them by chance, so there was no need to kill them again.

There are more than a dozen Qiang people in this group, all holding knives and wearing leather armor, guarding an old man about fifty years old in the middle. It can be seen that the old man is undoubtedly a prominent figure in the Qiang tribe.

"My benefactor, go slowly!" The old Qiang man pushed away his guard and shouted at Liu Fan. He was talking about the relatively standard Han people.

In the Qiang people, especially tribes near the Han area, those Qiang nobles would learn from the Han people.

After hearing that someone could speak the Han language, Liu Fan turned around, the Qiang man and his guard knelt on the ground together, and bowed to Liu Fan: "The chief of the Qiang in Huangshui is 17 pounds thanking the benefactor for his life-saving grace."

There are many Qiang and Di in Xiliang. The tribal leader of the Qiang tribe is called Chief, and the tribal leader of the Di tribe is called Haoshang.

"Get up, it's a small effort, don't thank me!" These people all knelt down to themselves, and Liu Fan was embarrassed to say harsh words.

Moreover, this old man is also a tribal chief. If Liu Fan remembers it well, the Huangshui Qiang should belong to the ancient Qiang tribe. He has lived between Huangshui and Jishi Mountain for thousands of years. However, the old man's name made Liu Fan laugh and cry. He had no momentum as a tribal chief. Could it be that he was born with seventeen pounds?

Liu Fan really thought it right. Qiang people are generally named after the twelve zodiac signs, seasons, month of birth, age of father at birth, weight at birth, ranking, place for mothers when giving birth, five elements, temples, divine objects that parents worship before their children were born, etc.

Shi Qijin stood up, walked towards Liu Fan, and gave him a favor to Liu Fan. He knew the cultural etiquette of the Han people well.

"Since you are a tribal chief, why are you so embarrassed?" Liu Fan asked in confusion. Since Shiqijin is the leader of the tribal, Liu Fan plans to make friends, and maybe it will be of great use in the future.

"Oh!" Shiqijin sighed and said sadly: "It's a misfortune to the family! The stranger sent his subordinates to kill me when he was out for fun, coveting my position as chief. The person who was stabbed to death by his benefactor just now was the most powerful warrior under the stranger. The son wanted to kill his father, so he was so ruthless!"
