Chapter 97 Trust

After Yi Tong's explanation, everyone realized that the king was going to have a warrior-warrior competition with the Qiang people. For a moment, Xiang Chao, who was as keen on the competition as his son Xiang Yu, wanted to come forward to help, but was stopped by Yi Tong - according to ancient methods, he could only go forward to collect the corpse for Xiong Jing, or welcome Xiong Jing's victory, otherwise it would be an insult to the warriors.

The Chu people were like this, and Zhao general Li Qi didn't even look at each other, and shook his head directly. He felt that Xiong Jing would be shot to death by the Qiang people. Of course, this was right in the Central Plains. The ceremony of sending troops existed during the Spring and Autumn Period. In the Warring States Period, only fools would challenge the troops. But in the Hehuang Valley, for the Qiang people who "death in battle is auspicious, and illness is unknown", it is a shame for the enemy to dare not respond to the challenge.

Moreover, the Qiang people's habit is to "power as a hero". Wu Yi Yuanjian was promoted to Dahao because he was burned and did not die. His descendants still wanted to be Qiang people, so they had to deal with challenges from the chiefs of various tribes and even their own brothers. If they refused to accept the challenges of others, the legitimacy of the rule of Dahao would be questioned by various tribes.

This was the case before and even after the founding of the Chu people, which was a tribal tradition. However, when Xiong Jing was confident that the Qiang people in the military carriage would definitely fight, this person spoke a Qiang word, and the Qiang people immediately burst into laughter.

"What do you mean?" Xiong Jing's pupils tightened. He was only fifty steps away from the Qiang people now, and he was closer to the Qiang people on both sides of the river valley. As long as they fired an arrow, he would undoubtedly die.

"Report to the great king, great bold words, there is no need for the face of the king, but... it is a woman." The Qiang people around him are the sons of Qiang Li. According to the rules of the Qiang people's name, the father and son must have their names. The father is Qiang Li, so his name is Li Duo. When Li Duo talks, he also looked at Xiong Jing's face, and his expression became a little weird, and he also wanted to laugh.

"Woman?" The men of this era are beautiful because of their many beards. Xiong Jing is just a teenager. Although he is tall, he has no beard. In the laughter, he unwilling to draw his sword, pointing at the hero in the military carriage, and performing a throat-cutting position. With his movements, the laughter of the Qiang people immediately disappeared - in the logic of the Qiang people, challenge should be respected regardless of success or failure, but provocation is not. Xiong Jing is provoking.

A few angry and short-lived Qiang words, a fierce Qiang man next to the chariot came immediately. Xiong Jing saw that he was holding a riding bow in his hand and immediately took the shield. Xiang Chao, who was very worried about this, also rushed forward. In order not to make the situation turn into a melee, Xiong Jing immediately turned around and stopped him. However, as he turned around, the Qiang man running out of the array shot an arrow.

"King..." Everyone was shocked. Xiong Jing's Yu Guang also saw the Qiang man fire arrows. He was too late to raise the shield. He could only bet that the Qiang man had superb shooting skills and his body stopped to avoid him. With a "swoosh", the arrow flew across his cheeks, and the arrow feathers at the end pulled a blood groove on his face. Fortunately, the Qiang man's shooting speed was not as good as Cheng Kui. When the second arrow shot, he had already raised the shield.

The range of the riding bow was close, but after shooting three arrows, the Qiang people had already rushed to the front. His weapon was a despicable bronze sword, and Xiong Jing had no kindness. At the moment when the two of them were intertwined, he lowered his body and stabbed a sword outward.

After three years of learning sword, Xiong Jing only learned one move: stab. He originally thought that chopping and chopping were the most powerful and the most commonly used movement, but the Chu swordsman and Zhao swordsman used examples to let him understand one truth: stabping is the most powerful sword style, because stabping is the fastest, most hidden, and most unpreventable.

With the support of stirrups, he calmly dodged and stabbed calmly. After the interweaving, the Qiang man on the horse ran for more than ten steps and shook his body several times, and finally fell down and died from the horse. Being able to become the master of the hero is naturally the warrior among the Qiang man. However, such a warrior was killed by a boy on the other side at one interweaving, and the Qiang man was in a big uproar.

"Tell them that our army came here just to avoid the wind and snow, and left in spring." Xiong Jing took the opportunity to let the lice pass more messages.

"What you said is trustworthy?" A voice came from behind the chariot. Xiong Jing thought that the Qiang people did not understand the Central Plains language, but he did not expect that someone around Dahao would speak authentic elegant language.

"It is helpless to lead the army. If you don't believe it, you are willing to join the bloody alliance." Xiong Jing said this when he looked at someone next to the chariot.

However, his words were not immediately answered. The people next to the chariot discussed for a long time, and the voice slowly replied: "The Xia people are not trustworthy, and Dahao is unwilling to suffer blood with his feet."

The Qiang people were called Qiang during the Shang Dynasty, and they were so powerful that they had to send more than 10,000 people to attack. When the Zhou people entered the Central Plains, the word "Qiang" no longer appeared. Even if the princes of Jiang surname who were enfeoffed in the Central Plains, they no longer said that they were Qiang. The Zhou people called Qiang people "Rong" and "Rongdi jackals should not be disgusted; the Xia people were intimate and should not be abandoned", and called themselves "Xia".

The unreliable words of the Xia people made Xiong Jing speechless. But what they were saying was the truth, and the countries were not trusting each other, let alone the Rong Di? I think the Qiang people suffered a lot of losses to the Qin people and turned into frightened birds.

Trust is difficult to establish between people, and what is particularly difficult is: you can’t establish it just by wanting it. Xiong Jing couldn’t help but become irritated, and his mount also felt his irritability, and he fought two circles in place.

"One single cannon comes out!" While the Qiang people were discussing, the fifteen-pound cannons dragged by six horses hurried up, and the Zhao army infantry came up together, and they had already arranged their formation.

"One cannon is out of line!" Wu Kong didn't understand what Xiong Jing was going to do, but he still obeyed the order and asked one of the cannons to go out of line.

"Why do you believe in it? Use cannons as your trust!" Xiong Jing shouted with the slowly outgoing cannon. The Qiang people who were ready to start the war couldn't help but look at the cannon, which was something I had never seen before.

After experiencing the battle of the water, the gunner's movements became more and more skillful. After a series of movements that made the Qiang people feel dazzled, the gunner shouted "It's ready..."

The gunman looked at the direction where the muzzle was aimed, which was behind the Rong people and shouted: "Let it go!"

"Boom--!" The flames and smoke burst out, and the solid shells shot from the artillery flew over the heads of the Qiang people and landed heavily behind them. The ice surface was very strong, and although the shells did not penetrate, they were deeply trapped in.

Xiong Jing did not look at the power of the shells, but paid attention to the reaction of the Qiang people, especially the Qiang people Dahao. He saw with satisfaction that the Dahao who was standing in the military carriage were surrounded by people. These should be the chiefs of other tribes, and the Qiang people in the array unconsciously retreated continuously. The Qiang people also admired fire, and this weapon that would spew out flames and make loud noises made them deeply awe.

"Ten thousand Qin people fought with me, but I only used artillery to stop them. The Qin people's corpses were everywhere. If they were unfaithful, why not rob them along the road after entering the Huangshui River?" Xiong Jing began to establish mutual trust with the Qiang people - I can kill you but not kill you, this is kindness.

Although the Qiang people were semi-civilized, those who could become strong naturally understand this law. It was the many laws, including this law, that made the strong become strong. As expected, the military carriage with flags passed through the Qiang people array and slowly moved forward under the escort of many knights. Xiong Jing stopped moving immediately, waiting for it to move forward.

He saw a Rong man with a thick beard and only his facial features standing in the car. This should be Dahao. He stared at Dahao, and Dahao also stared at him. When the two sides were only twenty steps apart, Dahao shook the knights on both sides of the chariot and went forward. At this time, Xiong Jing saw the man who spoke Yayan before, who was disabled, and his legs were already closed.

"I dare to ask why the king came to my Qiang land?" The archer was as slapped as the Qiang people, and Xiong Jing couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"I am a relative of Chu and a relative of Qiang, so I came to visit my relatives." Xiong Jing smiled and turned to signal Yi Tong behind him. Yi Tong was stared at by Xiong Jing before he realized that he wanted to give him a tribute. Unfortunately, he came in a hurry and the gift was not brought with him.

"I have prepared a gift when I came, but my subordinates have dereliction of duty and are going to get it." Xiong Jing smiled awkwardly.

"The king really came to visit relatives rather than being forced by the Qin people, so he had to enter our Qiang land?" Zhi did not rituals, and the servants did not care. Qiang lice had long told Xiong Jing and others about their purpose, and some people opposed the great hero taking Xiong Jing and others in.

"It was not because of the Qin people, but because of the ice and snow. I could only come to Qiang to live for a few months." Xiong Jing said truthfully.

"The king lives in my Qiang land, and the Qiang people must give food and fodder," said the waiter. "However, if this matter is known to the Qin people..."

"The Qin people destroyed the nations and the whole world had no time to move westward to the Qiang land." Xiong Jing interrupted him. "In the future, the Qin people must go west and advance northward to the west, and think that the Qiang people can be spared?

Today, Yan and Han have been destroyed. Qi, Zhao and Wei have taken our Chu as the leader. If the Qiang people have joined forces with me, they can get huge soldiers and armor, and can get civilized education. Why not do it?”

"Civilization education?" The examiner smiled, and he no longer cared about translator.

"What is the custom of the Qiang people? Don't interfere. What the Qiang people say is civilized education is technology. Let me ask you: Can the Qiang people smel iron? Can the Qiang people control armor? Can the Qiang people build boats?" Xiong Jinglian asked. "The Qiang people's army formation is far inferior to the Qin people, and the Qin people's army formation is far inferior to the Chu people. If the Qiang people can fight, why are they so afraid of Qin?"

Da Ao, who was bearded, seemed to be able to understand some elegant words. Xiong Jing's last sentence "Fearing Qin" was very hurting his confidence. His eyes rose up and he stared at Xiong Jing. Xiong Jing smiled at him and bowed slightly.

"In this way, is the king here to help me?" The Qiang people only know how to smel copper, iron, armor, and boats.

"It's just mutual assistance." Xiong Jing said frankly. His sword was pulled out again and threw it over Dahao's vigilance. The five-foot sword was firmly inserted on the river ice with a "crack". "Copper and iron, iron and ju are different from each other. Since you can plan for the Qiang people, you should know the importance of this matter. And what if the Qin people know? Instead of waiting for the Qin people not to know, it is better to force yourself first and control the Qin people."
