Zhang Jie had no intention of forcing Ma Xinde. Although he told Zhang Ji from Chang'an that Ma Xinde was a senior Kushan executive, Zhang Ji was prepared for some reason, but the more he was prepared, the more Zhang Ji realized that Ma Xinde was powerful. This person was at the same level as those of the top wise men in the Han Dynasty in Chang'an.

"It's rare, you didn't ask me directly where Fu Ward was going." Ma Xinde, who poured a bowl of wine, drank it quietly, threw away the pottery bowl and said to Zhang Ji.

"What you want to say will naturally say. What you don't want to say. At least I can't do anything to you. The longer I stay with you, the more I can realize the gap between us. Kushan actually has such a person." Zhang Ji replied calmly to Ma Xinde.

"After all, it is also a force that can develop from a tribal master who is beheaded and expelled to a force that has a land of thousands of miles and a population of tens of millions. At such a scale, if some amazing people cannot be born, there is still a need for this country to exist?" Ma Xinde sighed lightly, "The Han Empire is very strong, but this is not the basis of your arrogance."

Zhang Ji nodded after hearing this, "Then are you going to stay in the Tibetan area next?"

"Of course I'm going to Chang'an to enjoy my happiness." Ma Xinde gave a very direct answer, "The price offered by Chen Zichuan is too high, and I can do it again. Everything I haven't enjoyed in the first seventy years, and I'm going to make up for it in the next twenty years. Langarajan has grandchildren, so I should be a person."

Zhang Ji watched Assam protect Masinde and left without stopping, nor sent anyone to escort the other party, because there was no need, and it would be better for them to leave afterwards.

"Can you really stand out?" Assam asked with some worry when he looked at the Qiang people who were not very well-established but were obviously determined to serve the people and dared to die.

"Aren't you going to use Fu Ward's head as a grantor before?" Masind asked with interest. The relationship between Assam and Fu Ward was not a good one at all.

"That's not that you have prepared a way out for the retreat, and that you realize that Fu Ward is different from us and have not left yet." Assam honestly expressed his thoughts, "Now you have prepared your way out for the retreat, and Fu Ward has also left. If I consider this matter as a colleague, after all, I have worked together for so many years."

"I have worked together for so many years." Masinde looked up at the sky. The lofty blue sky made Masinde's mind much wider.

"Although I don't like many of his behaviors, it's more because of his identity and status, as well as his past experience. If you really want to say anything, Fu Ward informed the soldiers under his command and risked his life to lead the soldiers back to Kushan. I probably can't do it." Assam said with a little regret, "Military advisor, after watching Fu Ward leave, I know more about what I want to do?"

"Not that time, no one knows whether he can do it." Ma Xinde said with a faint expression. "In fact, Fu Wod, who brought these soldiers to the Tibetan area a few years ago, would definitely not have thought that he would take these soldiers back."

"Not that time, no one knows whether they are a hero or a bear." Masinde calmly concluded, "In my opinion, no matter how you choose, it is not wrong. Diving for your belief is a choice, and living a life of slumber is also a choice. Everyone has their own ambitions."

"I'm a living like this." Assam recalled the scene of Fu Ward leaving, followed Masind a few steps, and suddenly asked.

"Are you a nobleman of the Great Yuezhi?" Masinde asked casually.

"No." Assam understood Masind's words.

"Then why do you empathize with? They have sold their lives. They didn't treat you as their own people. Why do you have to be so humble and live for yourself?" Ma Xinde withdrew his eyes to the sky and said calmly, "Be an ordinary person, don't shoulder the responsibilities that others should bear when you have not enjoyed the treatment you have."

"Oh, I heard that there is a large northern ranch in the Han Dynasty. When I was young, I wanted to have a big ranch. I went to the north to raise cattle and sheep. I remember you told me that I am a good person at grazing." Assam said with a little remembrance tone. As a scattered rice, he has never had the chance to grazed since he was born in the mountainous area of ​​Beigui. The mountainous area of ​​Beigui has never been suitable for grazing.

"Okay." Masinder nodded to Assam, "Just do something. If you don't have any ambitions, it's good to do it. Our mission is over, and it's time to take a break."

Assam nodded and followed Mashinde to the Qiang village, preparing to wait for a while, and after confirming the news about Fu Ward and the overall situation, he went to Chang'an. For nothing else, he just finished the last line that involved Kushan.

"Is Ma Xinde a Kushan?" Yang Pu looked at Zhang Ji in surprise after Ma Xinde left and asked, "You must know that during the last court meeting, he took Ma Xinde to Chang'an in person, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually a Kushan."

"It's from the Han Dynasty, but I'm just lurking in Kushan. Now I've retired." Zhang said without thinking, and Yang Pu had no doubts about it when he heard this.

"Have the investigators found the traces of Fu Ward?" After answering Yang Pu's curious inquiry, Zhang Ji naturally changed the topic.

"It's not easy to be sure. Before Xiangxiong Royal City was captured, the other party had already led his men to retreat in scattered ways. Although Fu Ward was the key target, the other party seemed to have taken precautions early. The locals we found gave several escape directions, and these people obviously did not lie." Yang Pu said with a headache, "We now suspect that these escape directions may be all the old suspicion arrays."

"We have so many people, but we still care about the fact that he set up a suspicious array. A team of 100 people followed these possible defense lines to investigate. Every half hour, every team that investigated will send one person back. In this way, if the personnel reported by a certain team suddenly stopped, it can be confirmed that there must be the direction of the target, at least it was baited." Neighbor Dai sneered and said, "What else do you think about this? There are many Qiang people, so of course we must give full play to the greatest human resources advantage.

"In this case, it is easy to cause losses to personnel. If the team sent out for investigation really meets the opponent, they will definitely be destroyed. We have already won a great victory now, and the remaining legions handed over to the border defense may be better." Zhang Ji agreed with Lin Dai's judgment, but considering that even the resistance of the Kushan soldiers in this battle was very weak, the Qiang people have lost thousands of people to now. When we basically win a great victory, there is really no need to consume human resources anymore.

"It's okay, we have already paid the settlement fee in advance. If we really die, we will send another one. This is not a problem. Fu Ward is more dangerous." Neil Dai said indifferently. After all, he didn't even care much about his own life when attacking Fu Ward.

Zhang had nothing to say. He was more of a suggestion in terms of combat. How to fight depends on the idea of ​​these tribe leaders. And Nei Dai is so determined now that Zhang neither has any good solutions.

As for the purpose of avoiding losses, if the Qiang people themselves don't care about losses, Zhang Ji really has no good idea. Although in Zhang Ji's opinion, the contribution of the extermination of Xiangxiong this time alone has been enough for the Qiang people to eat for twenty years, for the Qiang people, Fu Wode is the enemy.

"Class leader, we found traces of a small number of cavalry passing in the southwest." Just when Zhang Ji and Yang Pu, Lin Dai and others discussed how to deal with the Kushan prisoners next, what food should be arranged for the other party and how to let the local troops in Yizhou or Xinzhou hand over the prisoners, the young and strong tribe of the Di people in the south came to inform Lin Dai with an emergency war report.

"Cabin?" Yang Pu looked at Lin Dai, and had some guesses in his heart. He did not directly finalize it because in Yang Pu and Lin Dai's impression, Fu Ward's headquarters had been transformed into infantry, and the established cavalry did not exist at all.

Now the news from the Di people in the south was a small number of cavalry, but it was obviously a systemic scale, which was somewhat unlikely.

"Xiang Xiong doesn't raise many horses, and Fu Ward shouldn't have established cavalry." Zhang Ji directly told Yang Pu and others about the information he informed by Ma Xinde.

"That is to say, Fuwad is the same as we know, and there are no large-scale cavalry at all, mainly infantry." Neighbor Dai lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, "Send a thousand people to chase after him to see what the situation is. Even if it is not Fuwad's cavalry, as long as it is a built-in cavalry, it is necessary to pay attention to it. Could there be other forces in the Tibetan area? Can we take out the power of the established cavalry?"

Before the order from Nei Dai was passed, the Di chief Agui, who was located in the south, had led more than two thousand young men to chase the horse's hoof seal.

For Agui, it doesn't matter whether these cavalry are under Fu Ward's men or the third-party forces in the Tibetan area. As long as they are cavalry, he needs to chase after him and take a look, because there are very few horses in the Tibetan area now, and the Di people and Qiang people are pure horse-drawn nations. Only by using war horses can they exert their due strength. At present, such infantry do not even have half of their combat power.

It's best if Fu Ward is not, if you find out that third-party forces have already made plans.

"Is this?" After chasing the parts, Agui's men found a group of corpses of their own people in front of them. There were not many, but there were hundreds of people.

"I was killed quickly. The opponent was very strong, and this was very important." After squatting next to the corpse and checking, I found that the brothers of this group of Qiang people were less than 200 meters away from the battlefield. Although this Qiang people were indeed not considered elite, the scale of more than 100 people was easily wiped out, and they didn't even run out of two hundred meters. This was definitely the top elite.

"Do you have any other suggestions?" After Agui expressed his judgment, he looked at his soldiers and asked.

"Notify the big heads and send elite cavalry to pursue. This direction is very likely to be the direction of Fu Ward's evacuation. What they encountered is not an ordinary elite legion." The old soldier under his command said with a cautious expression, then grabbed an already cold corpse, pried open the other party's hand, and showed Agui, "This is the Legend of the Condor Heroes, the triple smelting, and was killed by two shots."

The Qiang people had few Sagittarius players and were truly elites. When there was no change in the past, the Sagittarius players were basically melted in four or five levels. This is also the reason why the super-large tribes such as Qing Qiang, Fa Qiang, and Di people who escaped the strangulation of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry had combined less than fifty Sagittarius players.

When Lin Dai called to find fifty The Legend of the Condor Heroes to kill Sima Lang, it was because there were only so many Legend of the Condor Heroes in the entire Tibetan tribe, and even if Lin Dai wanted to find a few more, he wouldn't have them.

Later, due to the changes in the sky, the world consciousness curse twice, the Qiang people's The Legend of the Condor Heroes basically pressed the third and fourth levels, but even the third and fourth levels, in the current environment, it is very powerful. As a result, he only took action once, and then the heart protection mirror was broken and the person died on the spot.

"Hurry up, go and notify the leader and ask him to mobilize elite cavalry to pursue. The others follow me in this direction to continue chasing. Everyone is careful not to be ambushed." Agui just thought for a moment and agreed to the advice of his old soldiers. He quickly asked the fastest-running veteran to inform the main force of the Qiang people, and then led his people to continue chasing.

As for what to do if you catch up and get beaten to death, what’s the matter with cold salmon? What’s there to be afraid of? All heirs will be chosen this time, and you will die if you die. As long as you die valuable, the Han Dynasty really pays you, you can’t just wait here. If it rains before and wipes the traces away, what should I do?

As a nomadic people who have lived in Tibet for almost ten years, Agui is not blind. Although the sky looks like it is hidden blue now, the gray and blue color in the sky has begun to spread. This is the rhythm of rainfall. In this case, you can catch up and bite the marks, and you may be looking for them along the marks. If you don’t chase them, the heavy rain will sweep away and you will probably not be able to find them even if you look for them.

"Chasing!" After sending two groups of subordinates to inform the neighbor Dai, Agui personally led the young and strong Di people to chase after him. Fu Wode can fight, right? Come, I am more than two thousand young and strong, I don't believe that you can kill all of them within an hour. Not only will you kill them, as long as you entangle, our main force of the Qiang people will come and take all revenge.

Agui rushed in front. Only when he rushed in front could he fight in a dangerous situation that would make the young and strong Di people fight fearlessly.

More than 30 miles ahead of Agui, an elite backbone under Fu Ward was resting, led by Sidney. They were originally planning to take a detour out of the blockade, but unexpectedly, when they just jumped out of the blockade, they encountered a team of Qiang people with a scale of 100 people. In desperation, they had to take the initiative and spent a lot of effort to eliminate the Qiang people's search team.

Even a few soldiers were killed in battle and a dozen were slightly injured. There was no way. These Qiang people's search teams were completely fearless and did not think of retreating. The only guy who ran out two hundred meters was still taking the mission to call people.

If it weren't for small-scale combat, the strength of internal energy leaving the body had been greatly enhanced, and the small team that Fu Ward split out from the south would have lost a few people.

Moreover, in order to eliminate the traces, Sidney had to take the brothers who died in battle to take a detour first, but their own task was to restrain the Qiang people and attract the attention of the Qiang people. It didn't matter if they took a detour.

When Agui's news was sent to Lin Dai, Zhang Ji and Lin Dai had already realized that Fu Ward was breaking through the scattered area, and the seven or eight traces found before were probably left by the scattered team.

"It's actually a scattered breakthrough, I really don't know how to live or die." Neil Dai said with a ferocious expression, "All areas where Kushan elites are sure to pass through will be sent to chase each other, with a team of up to 500 people, right? Okay, I'll see how you run!"

The Qiang people have really many troops, and now they have completely gained the advantage of military strength. In this case, Fu Wode's division of troops is only beneficial and no harm to the Qiang people.

The 50,000 Qiang people may lose if they fight 5,000 Qiang people, led by Fu Ward, and it is difficult to win even if they win. However, the 5,000 Qiang people will beat hundreds of Kushan elites led by Fu Ward, and the probability of winning is very high.

Even if Fu Ward divided his troops more incompletely and was directly a team of more than 100 people, then the Qiang people would definitely win with a 10-to-one military advantage.

After all, the tactics are only meaningful when there are too many people. The four saints brought Sun Bin and five people fought against Xiang Yu alone. With a force of up to 5-to-1, Xiang Yu would also twist the head off. This is because the number is too small and the most clear portrayal of the tactical significance is lost.

Fifty thousand people rushed out so quickly. Nei Dai didn't want to use his brain at all, nor was he afraid of stepping into Fu Ward's trap. Since the division of troops was true, no matter what Fu Ward said, the remaining troops would only be less. Even if the other party had any ideas, it would be nonsense if he had no strength.

"The other party is actually a cavalry." The judgment of the investigators given by the Qiang people who had not yet caught up with Fuwad's main force was undoubtedly a cavalry.

"What Mashinde said before was that there were no war horses." Zhang Ji frowned, and he was convinced of Mashinde, and the other party really had no need to deceive him.

"Maybe I'm riding a yak," Neil Dai said with a sneer.

"I can't tell the difference between the yak's hoof marks and the yak's hoof marks?" Yang Pu said dissatisfiedly. He personally participated in the search team and conducted professional research on the traces left by the Kushan elite under Fu Ward.

"This is not important. Are the traces of investigations from various departments gathering in the southwest?" Lin Dai couldn't refute this, so he changed the subject.

"Yes, we probably want to walk the ancient road of Mount Quma in the Himalayas. Although it is covered by ice and snow, it was indeed possible to go to Kushan in the ancient road, which was once difficult to pass now, but Fuwad may have special means of access." Yang Pu informed Lin Dai of the results he speculated, "So we guess Fuwad may really be ready to go there."

"It's just possible, so don't mobilize other personnel first, let 50,000 people chase these scattered Kushan elites to see what movements Fuwad can do." Neil Dai lowered his head and thought for a while and said. He was not sure whether Fuwad would walk the ancient road of Mount Quma. The snow line during the Little Ice Age moved down, which caused the road to be basically blocked, and it was difficult to determine whether it could be passed.

"I also notified Wuwei. He meant that the same thing. Now he is more conservative. And we can only say that we have grasped the power dispersed by Fu Ward and did not see Fu Ward himself. Many things are still uncertain. Maybe these are all baits." Yang Pu nodded and said.

The Qiang people wanted to do their best, but the number of scattered elites in Fuwad was small and the power was stronger. The Qiang people under their command were basically infantrymen. The cavalry of the only legion could not attack at will without determining Fuwad's position.

Now the Qiang people and Fu Ward are actually fighting for concentration. Before Fu Ward appears, all the means are just temptations. Only when Fu Ward really appears will the Qiang people attack with all their strength.

"The infantry's mobility is too slow, the number of opponents is small, and it is more elite than us. The mobility is obviously stronger, so it is difficult for us to catch up." The Di tribe leader reported to Zhuzhihui, the commander who wiped out Fu Ward, with an extremely ugly expression.

"Continue chasing, don't stop. Our encirclement is about to take shape, and the elites scattered by Fu Ward are gathering in one direction. The official time is coming, and Fu Ward is about to appear. Just order the departments to prepare." Zhuzhi ordered indifferently.

"It should be Quma Mountain. Now the direction of the escape under Fu Wold is only Quma Mountain. There is an ancient road that cannot be passed through other places. Let's send a team to Quma Mountain to block the other side first." Di Renshu made his own judgment.

"This intention is too direct, to the point where it is unrealistic. Fu Ward is not a fool. His little manpower is not enough to fight with us." Zhu Zhi shook his head and said, "If you can't reach Mount Quma, Fu Ward's headquarters will soon reveal his intentions."

If there is still some hope for Fu Ward, who has 30,000 people to fight the Qiang people of 120,000, then it is nonsense to fight the Qiang people of 5,000 people to fight the Qiang people of 120,000 people to fight the Qiang people of 120,000. If Fu Ward dares to fight head-on, then there is only a dead end. Therefore, an obvious route like Qumashan is impossible.

"Next, we go north." Sidney, who was obviously tired, ordered the elite team who successfully gathered two teams and reached 500 people, "Life and death depend on the next step. Our mobility needs to be raised to the limit next, quickly gathered the eleven detachments along the way, and crossed through this possible blockade gap."

"The general is waiting for us in the northern Qiangtang." Sidney said with a firm look on his face.

That's right, Fu Ward did not go south, but chose to lead half of his men under the cover of Sidney and others to build a false Xiangxiong servant soldier and head north to the Qiangtang grassland. Even Xiangxiong servant soldiers were not so easy to escape at present, but who could have the accurate news of the Kushan elite.
Chapter completed!
