"Broad" and "stingy" are the key.

Under normal circumstances, once Zhang Wu asked to borrow food from the Qiang people, I believe that even the stingy Qiang tribe would be willing to provide some food and grass to send him off.

No one would offend an evil tiger who could eat them with blood and bones at any time because of external possessions.

But the Qiang people are not stingy, but Zhang Wu can make them stingy.

When a lion opens his mouth, he wants numbers that are as high as the sky.

Once the Qiang people refuse, then Zhang Wu can stand on the level of righteousness and destroy them openly.

After all, the Hetao area was still nominally the territory of the Han. To put it more broadly, the Qiang people were vassals of the Han. They occupied Han land and were naturally obliged to pay food.

On the other hand, if Zhang Wu was walking on the Hetao Plain under the guise of borrowing food, the Qiang people would probably not escape.

After all, the pasture here is rich and fertile, and the climate is pleasant and suitable for survival.

Few people are willing to move before the ax is really coming.

Moreover, with the news about Fengchan Grassland being released the year before last, the Qiang people would not think too much about it.

I wish everyone would come over and join in the fun.

By then it can be served in one pot.

As soon as this plan came out, it was truly established.

That's when it was settled and a memorial arch was erected. It has the flavor of Guo Jia.

The key is to gather the Qiang people and achieve three goals with one stone.

Zhang Wu then called out: "Cheng Ye, Wen Lie. Let's stop the troops for the time being."

The two of them returned to their horses without saying a word.

Xiahou Ba, who was having fun on the horse, suddenly fell down: "Ah? General, don't you want to fight?"

"Don't talk nonsense. It's all because of my unparalleled intelligence and scheming. I have a plan in mind, and I can slaughter the Qiang people openly and steal their food and grass."

Zhang Wu said this without blushing or breathing.

After all, he guessed it himself and it had nothing to do with Guo Jia.

A few people gathered together, and after explaining this, everyone stopped for the time being and split up.

On the chariot, Guo Jia yawned repeatedly. He also sneezes from time to time.

"My lord, hurry up and hurry up. It's rare to come to the grassland, and Jia hasn't appreciated it and composed two poems."

Cao Cao said disdainfully: "Can you still compose poetry?"

Writing poetry doesn't just require a good brain, it depends on talent.

Otherwise, the things you make will be nondescript and will be told as a joke.

Obviously, Guo Jia does not have this talent.

"Is it possible that my lord is afraid that Zhang Manzi will act too quickly and pacify the Qiang people before the Northern Patrol Army arrives?"

"It's your little ghost, tell me, what did you preach to Zi Qian?"

Guo Jia waved his hand: "It's a little trick, don't say it to make people laugh. If Zhang Manzi can calm down, he will naturally think of it. I see that he is not calm, so I just want to give it a heads up."

This is indeed understandable.

Although Guo Jia called him a "barbarian", he didn't really think that Zhang Wu was a martial artist with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

That was the most famous general in the late Han Dynasty and the most important minister in Cao Wei. Can a brainless person sit at that height steadily?

Cao Cao sighed and said: "With Zi Qian's courage and the plan of filial piety, the world can be decided. It's just that I'm afraid it's time to wake up from the dream of conquering the West."

"Hahaha, my lord, there is no need to wake up from this dream. Zhang Wu is only here to rob food. I can guarantee that he will wait until the Northern Patrol Army enters the Hetao Plain westward before taking action."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Hahaha, my lord, this is the wrong person to ask. Isn't the person in the world who knows the best about that guy's flattery skills the lord himself?"

After Guo Jia comforted him, Cao Cao felt relaxed and swayed on the railing of the chariot.

"If that's the case, he has some conscience."

Guo Jia smiled and said nothing.

He looks at the general situation without his conscience.

Zhang Wu wanted to follow the principle of righteousness, so naturally he could not touch his upper lip with his lower lip and just open his mouth.

The Qiang people are not ants. It is unreasonable to crush them to death without any evidence.

Defeating Wuwan, attacking Xiongnu and Xianbei can be said to solve the problem of border troubles. In this way, many Central Plains Confucian scholars were called butchers.

But here, the Qiang people only make some small noises every time. Obviously, the crime is not serious enough to death. If they want to be exterminated, I am afraid there will be many jealous people who will use Zhang Ziqian as a stepping stone to make a name for himself.

There are so many people who are willing to lay down their lives to leave a name behind.

in this way,

According to Zhang Wu's righteousness, the easiest way is to wait for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is the king of Wei in the Han Dynasty, and he has great righteousness.

It's natural to make a complete show.

The King of Wei was short of food and grass during his northern patrol. The Qiang people did not obey the king's edict and should be executed.

Then no matter what happens, it will be decided after King Wei shows his face before it can be justified.

If Zhang Wu takes action first, he will inevitably be suspected of overstepping his authority.

In July of Hetao, a piece of news spread widely on the Hetao Plain.

When the king of Wei visited the north, Zhang Wu borrowed grain.

How to pay it back or not, no one knows, and no one cares.

What they were concerned about was whether the cavalry that broke into the river would raise its weapons against them.

Most of the Qiang people are in the wait-and-see stage, packing up their belongings and ready to run away at any time.

However, Yun Hui always stood still, which made many people sigh.

There are also tribes that are the first to take a stand.

But the things that were delivered were really lacking in meaning.

Some are sending hundreds of sheep, some are sending more than a dozen grains, and some are sending horses.

With all the respect and respect on his face, Zhang Wu understood that in fact the Qiang people were just testing his bottom line.

Even if they are afraid of Zhang Wu's name, human nature is human nature after all. Until the last moment, they will never know where the bottom line is.

But Zhang Wu didn't care, he accepted them all, and then sent the leaders of each tribe away politely.

If there is really a big giveaway, it will be hard to do it then.

The things obtained in advance were packed and transported by Mi Fang to the rear and handed over to Cao Ren.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over.

New news spread: the tribe that produces the most food is the future lord of the Hetao.

Zhang Wu deliberately ordered people to spread this sentence.

It's just a rumor. It wasn't said by him himself. Who dares to ask him to confirm it.

It was precisely because of this innocuous rumor that it caused an uproar in the Hetao. Countless tribes drove their cattle and sheep towards Yunhui's station, and the turmoil continued to ferment.
