At the same time, in the direction of the Qiang people.
The Qiang people had been panicking all this time. No matter how hard they searched, they could not find a single clue about the culprits who had killed the Qiang soldiers.
They had been digging three feet into the ground, but they still had not found anything.
The Qiang leader was so anxious that he immediately concluded that the Xiliang people were the culprits.
The Qiang leader gathered all the available soldiers under his command, a total of one hundred and thirty thousand, and attacked Xiliang.
"Leader! We can't tolerate such cowardice! "
"This must be the work of those Central Plains people!"
"If we don't take revenge, I'm afraid we won't be able to comfort our brothers in heaven!"
A Qiang general said angrily.
Everyone in the Qiang people, from the elderly to the children, had been in danger.
No one knew if this strange heavenly lightning would strike them in the next second.
They had all seen the miserable state of their soldiers.
"Ba Duo, calm down. This might not be the work of the Central Plains people."
"Since they can summon heavenly lightning, could it have something to do with the Di people, who have more sorcerers?"
At this moment, another Qiang general spoke up.
"Leader, we must think twice before attacking the Central Plains!"
"The Central Plains is not a place that can be attacked so easily."
"We've maintained a peaceful relationship with the Central Plains people for so long. What if someone tries to make us fight each other so that they can benefit from it?"
At this moment, a Qiang general in black armor stood up and said:
"That makes sense!"
"The Central Plains people might be cunning, but they wouldn't know such witchcraft."
"I think it's the Di people!"
"I heard that the Di people have been in conflict with the Central Plains people in Hanzhong and have suffered heavy casualties. Perhaps they want to use us to make the Central Plains suffer a little!"
"If the Central Plains gathers their forces to attack us, won't they fall into the Di people's trap?"
"If that's the case, they'll benefit from it!"
Hearing these two people's words, the generals immediately began to discuss.
Most of them believed that the Di people were the culprits.
At this moment, Ba Duo stood up and roared.
"Bullshit!"
"Although the Di people know witchcraft, who has ever heard of witchcraft summoning heavenly lightning?"
"The Central Plains people are the most suspicious!"
"I heard that when those people from the Central Plains fought in the south, there would be a very loud roar."
"From the looks of it, there's clearly someone in the Central Plains who knows how to use thunder and lightning!"
"However, this kind of sorcery will definitely cause great damage to the body. They won't last long. Let's set off immediately. We'll definitely beat the crap out of those Central Plainsmen!"
Ba Duo's words were not without reason.
For a time, Ba Duo also gained many people who believed in him.
Now that the Ministers were speaking one after another, the entire tent was in an uproar.
The leader furrowed his brows and bellowed in a low voice.
"Enough!"
"No matter what, we and the people of the Central Plains are like fire and water. Although we have been at peace for many years, there will be a war sooner or later!"
"Have you forgotten what happened to the Xiongnu?"
"If we continue to sit here and wait for our deaths, we will be the next Xiongnu!"
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to attack the Central Plains! Even if this is the Di people's scheme, if we can conquer Western Liang, we will still be the ones to benefit! "
Hearing their leader make the final decision, no one said anything else.
However, the two generals who had argued earlier could not help but sigh faintly.
If this was really the Di people's doing, then wouldn't the Qiang tribe become the Di people's shield?
The Di people could make the Hanzhong soldiers retreat without expending any manpower. They could use this opportunity to recuperate.
Other than the Central Plains people, the Di people were also a formidable enemy!
However, they did not say such things out loud.
After all, their leader's position was there, and so many people believed in Ba Duo's words.
Thus, the two generals could only silently obey their orders.
However, they still had some doubts. What kind of existence was this person who knew how to use thunder and lightning?
If there was more than one person, wouldn't they have to sacrifice many soldiers for nothing if they were to attack?
The Qiang leader was very clear about this point. However, given the current situation, they definitely had to fight.
If they did not fight, the entire Qiang tribe could not afford to waste so much energy!
Whether it was attacking the Central Plains or asking the Di people for an explanation, at least they had a direction.
Otherwise, the entire tribe would be in danger. Who would be able to withstand it?
Thus, the Qiang leader had no choice but to come up with this solution.
However, the Qiang tribe had always been good at war since the time of their ancestors. This was almost the same as the Xiongnu.
If this matter could be resolved through battle, it would naturally be for the best.
It was much better than sending one soldier after another to investigate only to have them all wiped out.
The Qiang tribe was in full swing as they prepared for war.
At the same time, in Western Liang.
"Is the news reliable?"
Ma Chao frowned as he asked Ma Dai.
Ma Dai nodded solemnly.
"It's absolutely true!"
"I secretly sent a scout to investigate and found that the patrolling Qiang soldiers were suddenly killed by a strange bolt of lightning!"
"If the scout had not been so far away, he would not have survived!"
"The scout said that he remembered very clearly that the person who summoned the lightning was a woman in purple!"
Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this.
A woman in purple?!
Wasn't this the person who gave the teacher a wordless book?
He had even come to Western Liang and met Yun Lu!
This matter immediately made Ma Chao extremely alert.
Was such a dangerous person a friend or a foe?
If she was a friend, it would be fine. Killing the Qiang soldiers was definitely a good thing for Western Liang.
But if she was a foe …
What was her motive?
What if she changed her target and came to Western Liang to cause trouble?
Although Ma Chao had been equipped with a new weapon, it could not compare to the lightning!
How could someone who knew such sorcery know the teacher?
However, the teacher's reaction seemed to be a little surprised.
It seemed that she might not be a friend!
Ma Chao's head started to hurt.
Who on earth was this woman in purple?!
Ma Chao really didn't know about this.
Right now, it was better to defend and prevent anyone from leaving the city.
Now that the country was prosperous and the people were at peace, it was time to win the hearts of the people. If something happened in Western Liang and the people were in danger, Ma Chao could not bear the responsibility.
After all, the current prosperity was all cultivated by the teacher!
Ma Chao would never let himself become a sinner for all eternity!
"Send two more scouts to check the Qiang's movements!"
