Chapter 54 Different Attitudes
Compared with the simple-minded tribesmen, these Qiang elders still think more deeply. After understanding what the letter said, the elder immediately understood what the Han meant.
This is to ask them to surrender, but it is said in a subtle way, and it also gives the Qiang people some face.
The most despised thing in Longyou is a coward. If you, a Qiang, don't dare to resist at all when facing the Han army's pressure, you will probably be laughed at. However, if the Qiang army was defeated by the Han army and had no choice but to surrender, it would not be a shame to be laughed at.
After all, everyone knows that all the best Qiang people were lost in Didao County, so it would not be a shame to be defeated by the Han army.
Otherwise, given the character of the Han people, if they really wanted to annihilate them, the people arriving at the tribe now would not be the messengers, but the main force of the Han army.
To put it bluntly, in the elder's opinion, this letter was more of a letter of persuasion than a letter of defiance.
The army arriving at your doorstep proves that I have the ability to kill you before you run away, and I give you a challenge just to give you face.
Now I give you a chance to surrender decently, and you tribes can decide whether you want to live or die.
Of course, if you really want to fight to the end, then I will wait for you here, or you can come out and be beaten to death by me.
After thinking about this, the Han army's actions became very reasonable.
"Hurry up and send a message to the Xianling ministries. Let's discuss it as soon as possible. We can't keep the Han envoy waiting impatiently." The elder sighed and waved his hand.

Soon, the elders of the largest tribe of the Xianling Qiang tribe sent people to contact the various tribes of the Qiang tribe and summoned all the leaders of the Xianling Qiang tribe.
During this period, as expected by the elders, more than 5,000 Shu troops were stationed near the Qiang people in a swaggering manner. He didn't take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, nor did he send anyone to threaten them. He just looked at them with peace of mind.
The Shu army did not continue to attack, allowing the elders to call all the leaders over with confidence. The seventeen tribes of Xianling Qiang soon gathered together to discuss how to deal with the Shu army.
"This group of Han people are so arrogant that they are stationed here so openly and openly." A leader of the Xianling Qiang tribe who was the main battler hammered the ground fiercely and said angrily.
"If we hadn't fallen into the trap of the Han people and lost most of the tribe's strength, how could we have allowed these bastards to be so arrogant!"
"What can be done? Do we really have to fight to the death with the Han people?" Another Qiang leader frowned, feeling very desperate about the current situation.
"There are only three hundred men in my tribe now, and most of them died outside. How can we compete with the Han people? Isn't this looking for death?"
Many Qiang leaders also feel desperate. The specific situation now is that they are bound to lose.
"You should put away any thoughts of escaping or continuing to resist as soon as possible. I have called you here to discuss surrender." The Qiang elder shook his head and said seriously.
"The Han army is now only dozens of miles away from here, and it only took a few hours for them to attack. If you want to escape, you will have to be caught up by the Han if you can't escape twenty miles."
"So the only thing before us is surrender, and the choice the Han people gave us was surrender."
"Aren't the Han people going to fight us?" the leader with a weak brain asked, but the elder looked at him like he was a fool.
"Are you idiots? If he wants to kill us, does he need to wait here for us to assemble?" The elder pointed at the tribal leaders and asked fiercely.
"They are waiting for us to surrender! Give us a chance to surrender decently without being ridiculed!"
"This is because the Han people don't want to kill and are waiting for them to be ready to surrender! This is great kindness!"
"They could have wiped out all of us, but they didn't. They put on this posture to give us face. This is a great justice!"
"If this were not the case, why would the Han people wait for us to assemble? Can we stop the army if we just charge at it? The last Han people to do this was hundreds of years ago!"
The elder's words suddenly awakened all the leaders present. As the small leaders of the tribe, they have all read more or less Han Chinese books.
A little understanding of human affairs and moral rules is all it takes to understand what the Han people mean.
However, after understanding the Han people's intentions, several leaders were still a little unconvinced.
"They look down on us so much? Our Xianling Qiang people are not stupid!" Several warlike leaders were unwilling to surrender like this and shouted eagerly.
"Even if it's a decisive battle, we may not lose!"
"Okay, your Qiang soldiers will be the vanguard and go fight with the Han people." The elder didn't bother to care about them and said straightforwardly.
If you are willing, go and fight. If we defeat the Xian-Zero clan, you will be the one to decide from now on! "
"Okay! Remember what you said." The very confident leaders stood up and left, leading their troops to prepare for the fight.
However, the elder also noticed that two cowardly tribal leaders were also missing. But he didn't care. If his idea was right, the Han people would never let them leave safely.
There are always some idiots who think they can hit a rock with an egg, and there are always some idiots who think they can get away with it.
In fact, it is just a meaningless struggle. In the face of the general trend, it is useless for the weak to do anything.

In order to give this group of Qiang soldiers time to prepare, Ma Su made Song Xianggong this time.
Five thousand Shu troops are stationed on the plain in a swaggering manner, waiting for your Qiang soldiers to gather. No matter what Meng Guo tried to persuade him, Ma Di just refused to attack in advance.
This effect also exists. For example, Shu Ji looked at Ma Su with a bit more admiration.
Finally, the scouts below sent Ma Su a battle report. A large number of Qiang soldiers gathered and were moving in this direction.
"This group of Qiang people is really slow to react. I waited for four whole days before they were assembled. You deserve it. You can't even defeat the puppet Wei's county soldiers."
While Ma Di complained about the slowness of the Qiang soldiers' movements, he personally went into battle.
This time he learned the lesson from the last time he chased Zhang He in the street pavilion. Zhang He didn't pay attention to him at all because he was not clearly dressed.
This time, he specially found a craftsman to create a very eye-catching chainmail suit. His broad red robe and mighty helmet could all reflect his identity.
I am the general, everyone shoots arrows at me!
But I have to say, sometimes it’s nice to dress cool. When Ma Su got on his horse, he heard the soldiers below cheering wildly.
"General Kamui!!"
"General Kamui!!"
"General Kamui!!"
When the Qiang and Hu soldiers in the Shu army saw Ma Su's appearance, they shouted out almost subconsciously.
The last person who was so majestic and could look down upon the Qiang and Hu was only the mighty general Ma Mengqi.
And now that the new general is also named Ma, he can naturally be General Shenwei.
Today, I, a small gangster in Shu, actually got a leader! Excited Shuzhong all day long!
According to the rules, the leader of the alliance has to add ten more chapters. In the next period of time, Shuzhong is going to work hard to code and add a big update for the alliance leader!
