Ma Yu flew into a rage and kicked the two knights down.
The two knights were kicked off their backs, but they were very frightened and dared not speak out in anger.
The young master has this temper. Although he is very capable, he also has a really bad temper.
Maliao stopped his eldest son's violent behavior and said slowly: "Why are you so panicked?"
"Master, there is a large number of cavalry in the west. It is estimated by visual inspection that there are about 5,000 people. It seems that the Qiang cavalry is invading. They will arrive at our base today."
Five thousand Qiang cavalry are attacking?
Ma Liao was so shocked that he was completely stunned.
Aren't the Qiang people at war with the imperial court? How come they have time to come to northern Liangzhou?
From Anzhou to Liangzhou, the most convenient way is to take the Jincheng route! I heard that the imperial court also responded, and sent General Zuo to take the post of general to quell chaos and go to Anliang to fight.
"Is this serious?"
Malio was shocked and grabbed the knight by the collar.
He was tall and strong, so with a gentle lift, he lifted the young knight up.
"Master, I don't dare to talk nonsense. It's really the Qiang people who are here. We are responsible for the security in the west. Brothers will never miss it!"
The young knight was resolute and his tone was affirmative.
Maliao no longer doubted his presence and suddenly loosened his collar.
The young knight fell to the ground with a "thud", very embarrassed.
And another knight from the south did not bring good news.
"Master, there are enemy troops in the south. They seem to be the elite of the imperial imperial army. The leader of the group has the word 'Cao' written on his flag, and he will arrive at the station today."
The security level in the south has always been very low. Unexpectedly, something happened even in the south.
The so-called appearance of imperial guards was even more outrageous, and it suddenly silenced the entire air.
The Ma family stayed on the spot, and Ma Liao shouted angrily: "Seriously?"
"Master, it's absolutely true."
The knight spoke firmly.
There is definitely no lie in this kind of thing.
Maliao just couldn't believe it, so he asked more questions.
The seventeen-year-old boy Ma Yu frowned and said in an unhappy tone: "The imperial court and the Qiang people are here? Are they all coming to our Ma family? Why, what does my Ma family have that is worthy of such an effort?"
"Father, there is no need to worry. These two people are only a few thousand people in the city. If they come with bad intentions, with the spear in my hand, I will definitely stop them from coming back."
Ma Yu was not frightened at all, but instead took the initiative to challenge Ma Liao.
Ma Yu has a lot of Qiang blood in his body, and he speaks straightforwardly. If he doesn't accept it, he will do it...
But Ma Liao is not as confident as Ma Yu. Both parties represent behemoths. Even though the Ma family can be powerful in Beiliang, to them, they are just a local force and are very weak.
........
No matter which way you go, you can't afford to offend.
So Malio fell silent.
In Ma Yu's eyes, his father, who had always been wise and mighty, seemed a little frightened.
"Father!"
Ma Yu was a little dissatisfied and wanted to wake up his father.
Maliao's expression was very bad and he glared at his eldest son: "Yu'er, this matter is not a trivial matter and should not be acted upon rashly."
"Please quickly invite Uncle Bai to come and discuss matters."
........
........
Cao Su's army slowly moved northward.
It is getting closer and closer to Ma's residence.
At this time, he also received early warning from the scouts and learned that a large number of cavalry appeared in the northwest, suspected to be Qiang people.
"No need to be suspicious, he must be from the Qiang ethnic group."
"The Qiang people really bypassed the Gobi. This small group of cavalry has a lot of background. They must have sacrificed a lot of good things."
Cao Su sneered. Ever since he knew that the Gobi was not to be entered lightly, he went to learn how to enter the Gobi.
Then I asked Qingxiao for advice, and Qingxiao also told me everything.
Qingxiao believes that most of the demons and ghosts in the Gobi are divided into two types.
One is cannibalistic and the other is non-cannibalistic.
Both kinds of demons have their own demands, which are nothing more than blood and flesh.
If the Qiang people really colluded with the demons, it would not be difficult to cross the Gobi. It would just cost them some blood.
"If there are five thousand people, the amount of blood and food sacrificed can still be accepted."
"If there are 100,000 cavalry, even the entire Qiang clan cannot afford it."
Qing Xiao's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "It seems that there must be some 'witches' in this Qiang team."
The Qianyuan people practice Taoism and Buddhism, while the Qiang people practice witchcraft.
Witchcraft is also a system. According to the legend of the Qiang people, every once in a while, a witch will awaken among the Qiang people.
The practice of shamans is even more bizarre, as they seem to be born with various methods of practice.
Their cultivation method was inherited from the shamans of previous generations, and through communicating with the gods, they bestowed inexplicable fighting power on the Qiang warriors.
"Communication" is their strongest ability.
Hearing this, Cao Su whispered to Qingxiao: "Can the Taoist find the witch?"
Qing Xiao was startled for a moment, then subconsciously responded: "Of course he can be found. The world's great road leads to the same destination through different paths. Although the witches' training systems are different, as long as he uses witchcraft, it will only take a moment to find him."
Cao Su nodded with satisfaction. Qing Xiao was a very capable person.
"Cao Zhaowu is going to deal with these five thousand Qiang elites?"
Are you thinking of starting a war now that you have just learned a little bit about the other side?
Qing Xiao doesn't quite understand. Isn't it said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle?
Cao Su nodded and directly admitted that he was tempted.
"Since there is a war with the Qiang people, the Qiang cavalry here must also be the enemy."
"General Zuo is right, the other party is also eyeing Ma's horse farm."
"It's just that our purpose is different. The Qiang people have no shortage of war horses. They just don't want us to get the Ma family's war horses."
Cao Su thought that the other party was just here to sabotage the court's actions, and never thought that the other party wanted to directly force the Ma family to rebel.
Once the Ma family rebels, the impact will be far-reaching, and it will have a severe impact on the entire bureaucracy and gentry system in Liangzhou.
"They will come. Knowing that I am here, why not come?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cao Su was not panic at all. Although he only had 3,000 men under his command, and there were not many cavalry, the combat power of his sergeants was very strong. In the past,
During the Wanping Rebellion, how often did Cao Su not win with less? Let alone 5,000 elites, he would defeat 10,000 elites without blinking an eye.
The soldiers under his command also had this confidence and followed Cao Su without panic at all.
So Qingxiao didn't know what to say.
Finally, he choked out one sentence: "If the enemy invades, Qingxiao will definitely set up a sword formation to let them have a taste of our power."
Cao Su was overjoyed when he heard this: "In this way, the name of Tao Palace Qi Refiner Qing Xiao will definitely be famous in Mobei."
"Why!"
Qingxiao couldn't stand it any longer: "False fame, false fame, not worth mentioning..."
........
........
The whole Ma family began to be in chaos.
As the heavy horn sounded, the Ma family began to gather the sergeants.
Amid the summons, a large number of herdsmen put on leather armor, took long bows and scimitars, and rode horses towards the high slope where Ma's house was stationed. The rumble of horse hooves sounded.
The "more than a thousand" escort team known to the world was promoted on the spot, and many of them served as commanders of the team.
However, the overall system is still chaotic. It is just a matter of the cavalry gathering and becoming more powerful. The chaos is acceptable.
Soon, the Ma family assembled a cavalry team of 3,000, and headed west under the leadership of Ma Liao, the head of the Ma family.
This development immediately attracted the attention of Cao Jun in the south.
"Master Zhaowu, the Ma family has sent troops!"
"The Ma family is heading west to meet the Qiang cavalry!"
The Ma family did not come to communicate with Cao Su first, but ran directly to the west to communicate with the Qiang people.
This made Cao Su shake his head, his eyes a little colder.
.......
To the west of the racecourse, the Qiang army marched slowly on the grassland.
The sound of horse hooves is chaotic, pounding on the grass, playing a disorderly beat.
At this moment, King Dan of the Qiang people was hesitating whether to rush over directly and destroy this Qianyuan enemy army that suddenly appeared.
"The leader is Cao Su, General Zhaowu of the Qianyuan Empire. He is nineteen years old this year."
"Cao Su? Only nineteen years old?"
There was a look of wonder in King Dan's eyes. Is Qianyuan so open now? A nineteen-year-old can lead an army alone?
"What kind of ability does Cao Su have that he can lead an army by himself?"
The Qiang people live in the West, and although they have heard a lot about the major events of the Qianyuan Dynasty, Cao Su's glorious deeds have not yet been widely spread in the Qiang territory, so the Qiang people do not know about Cao Su.
Only shamans who specialize in studying Qianyuan information will know a thing or two.
At this time, a young man in black robe beside King Dan told some details about Cao Su's situation.
After hearing this, the king couldn't help laughing.
"I thought it was so strong, but it turns out it's just a Qianyuan nobody."
"There was no one in Qianyuan, so he asked Shuzi to lead the army. Today, our army of five thousand men is here. We just want to go all out to destroy the so-called 'general stars' in Qianyuan and let them know how powerful we Qiang people are!"
"It's just the right time for the Ma family to open their eyes."
King Dan's eyes were full of coldness and he looked into the distance, already thinking that Cao Su was destined to die.
