Three thousand elite members of the Ma family hoisted their flags.
On the grassland, dust is flying.
Almost all of the young adults living on the grasslands are good at riding and shooting. When you dismount, you are a herdsman, and when you mount, you are a warrior.
The leader, Maliao, looked livid and very ugly.
Ma Yu beside him, wearing white robes and silver armor, holding a spear, and riding a horse, looked like a speeding meteor.
"Father, don't worry."
Ma Yu's voice was powerful and his tone was calm, without any hint of nervousness.
Ma Liao shook his head and sighed: "Yu'er, things are not that simple."
"The two forces came together, what do you think they are doing?"
Ma Yu knew this, and the seventeen-year-old Ma Yu blurted out with an angry expression: "Aren't you attracted to my Ma family's 100,000 war horses? They want to use the Ma family's war horses to form a cavalry force.
Come."
"It's just one of a hundred thousand war horses."
Maliao's eyes flickered slightly and he looked to the west.
With all the Ma family's elite troops coming out, the large army to the west can already be seen.
At the end of the plain, a black line was seen.
"The real situation is probably worse than now."
"What I'm worried about is that they came here for the Ma family's animal breeding technique. If the Qiang people take the Ma family's animal breeding technique, their combat power will be even higher based on the number of their war horses."
Over the years, the Qiang people have been overtly and covertly trying to acquire the Ma family's animal breeding skills.
However, the Ma family's animal breeding skills are extremely strict, and ordinary horse breeders only know how to raise them. As for how to raise war horses to be strong and powerful like the Ma family, that is a unique skill.
It is a secret technique that has been passed down orally from generation to generation in the Ma family, and even Ma Yu, who is not yet an adult, knows it yet.
"But now that both parties are here, shouldn't we withdraw our troops and watch the battle?" Ma Yu thought of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers.
A voice came from beside him and immediately objected: "No, just sit idly by and ignore it, absolutely not."
This is a middle-aged man wearing a blue scribe's robe.
Maliao's sworn brother Bai Jing.
In the past, Bai Jing traveled to the Central Plains and also went to Lushan Academy to study Chinese studies. He was a rare scholar in Beiliang and the daughter of a noble family. Therefore, he and Ma Liao became brothers and had a very close relationship.
The Bai family is different from the Ma family. The Bai family is in the private salt business.
Because there is little salt in Xizhou, salt is a valuable item in Xizhou and the price is very expensive.
There are several families in Xizhou. They are aristocratic families on the surface, but secretly they are running private salt businesses.
There is no technical content in the private salt business, it is nothing more than to seize enough markets and have stable enough supply and sales channels.
When young Ma Yu heard what Uncle Bai said, his face was a little unhappy.
He stared at Bai Jing, wanting to hear what the "adults" thought.
"The Qiang cavalry and the imperial army are fighting here. No matter who you help or who you don't help, you will annoy these two families."
"Especially if the imperial army is really defeated in Beiliang, it will be very detrimental to the family head and the King of Liang."
"In a word, head-on confrontation is disadvantageous."
Ma Yu didn't quite understand Bai Jing's words.
He doesn't understand how he can take the blame even if he does nothing?
"Are we just going to let the enemy kill us?"
If this is really the choice, then he would rather lead the Ma family and rebel against this unfair world. But with the spear in his hand and the horse sitting on his back, who in the world can stop him?
"Brother Bai is right."
"We can't just sit back and watch the two sides fight here, at least not in the Ma family's horse farm, otherwise neither the Qiang people nor the court will be able to justify it."
Ma Liao looked ugly. In the final analysis, the Ma family was too weak.
The Qiang people have a hundred thousand cavalry, and the imperial court is also like a cloud of mighty generals. The two forces are like giants and are furious. They can crush the Ma family with just a breath.
The young Ma Yu didn't understand this kind of frustration. He was still immersed in the fantasy of personal bravery.
In the Ma family, in a small place like Beiliang, individual bravery can indeed solve many problems.
But no matter how brave an individual is, what does it mean in the face of the general trend of the world and the rolling wheel of history?
Maliao did not say everything, fearing to dampen his eldest son's enthusiasm.
Ma Yu said no more. As the Ma family's cavalry galloped, the Qiang troops coming from the west were getting closer and closer.
.......
.......
"It turns out that King Dan is here!"
"Ma Liao missed his welcome, please forgive me, forgive me!"
Riding on a tall horse, Ma Liao rode out, taking only Ma Yu and Bai Jing with him, and came to the front of the Qiang army.
The Qiang army was originally hesitant to attack the southeast corner.
Now being blocked by Ma Liao, the king stopped giving orders.
"Ma Liao, don't play this trick with me. You Qianyuan people like to play this kind of nonsense the most!"
King Dan and Ma Liao are very familiar with each other and have known each other for many years.
The Ma family's voice has reached all over Mobei and is quite famous among the Qiang people.
The two are similar in age and have known each other since childhood.
"Prince Dan, you are too polite!"
"You're just here, what gifts do you bring? How can you make the King come to congratulate you on Ma's birthday banquet?"
Ma Liao was very excited. He took two steps forward and bowed to the king.
The chest caressing ceremony is one of the common etiquettes of the grassland nomads, and King Dan subconsciously responded with the chest caressing ceremony.
Stunned in place.
Maliao’s 35th birthday party?
This was something the King did not expect. He looked at Maliao and saw that Maliao was very excited, his lips were trembling a little, and there was no trace of hypocrisy in his eyes.
This makes Prince Dan a little embarrassed. Men on the grassland still take these etiquettes relatively seriously.
Although his original intention was not to come to Ma's house to congratulate him, Ma Liao seemed to have misunderstood him now.
is that true?
The king looked at Maliao suspiciously again.
Ma Liao said: "We in the Ma family are celebrating our fifth birthday. We are thirty-five years old this year. To be able to receive congratulations from the king, we are truly lucky."
Maliao told his age, he was really thirty-five years old.
And the birthday banquet he mentioned was not false. There was supposed to be a birthday banquet in the next few days.
King Dan glanced around, hesitated for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Since it is Brother Ma's birthday party, we must be here to congratulate you. We Qiang people are more practical and don't have anything good to give you, so we brought it.
Some specialties of Mobei."
They were originally here to win over the Ma family. If they could win the favor of the Ma family through the Ma family's birthday banquet.
This created an impact on the overall aristocratic power in Xizhou, which was much more effective than killing a 3,000-strong imperial army.
King Dan thought for a while and decided to go to Ma's house to "visit" first. Anyway, he had five thousand elite cavalry in hand, and he could walk sideways throughout Beiliang without fear of anyone.
Maliao was overjoyed, it's done?
As expected, the Qiang people are more down-to-earth. If they had a birthday party, then they would have a birthday party.
He then thought about it and had a headache. How should he solve the problem of Cao Suna in the south?
While thinking about it, he walked to King Dan's side.
He began to chat and laugh with King Dan, and began to lead King Dan's troops to the northeast.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already made arrangements in the northern part of the racecourse, and arranged the arrangements for our Qiang brothers. I guarantee that our visit to Beiliang will not be in vain!"
The king smiled slightly and did not say whether it was good or bad, and just let Ma Liao make arrangements.
Ma Liao took care of King Dan's place and gave Bai Jing a wink.
Bai Jing understood, and after the Ma family and the Qiang troops joined forces, he secretly led dozens of riders, left the troops, and ran to the southeast.
Dozens of riders on the grassland had just run out for half a stick of incense when a rider came chasing them from behind.
The young man was wearing white robes and silver armor, and he was extremely handsome when he sat down on his war horse. He easily caught up with Bai Jing and the others.
"Uncle Bai, wait for me."
Ma Yu followed Bai Jing and others with a gloomy face.
Bai Jing glanced at Ma Yu in surprise and didn't say much.
He said "Yeah" and led Ma Yu straight to the southeast.
At this moment, south of the racecourse, Cao Su's army had almost entered the Ma family's camp.
You can see many white tents of the Ma family on the grassland.
The tents are like white flowers dotted on the green grassland.
Cao Su wore black armor and walked at the front of the army.
Beside him were Zhang Ke, Wu Ming, Qing Xiao, Li Li and other civil and military subordinates.
The army was on the side, but Cao Su did not panic and drove his troops northward.
When the three thousand elite men under his command entered the Ma family's camp, they already noticed that this place was different. Everywhere they could see the horses, cattle and sheep raised by the Ma family in various places.
"Master Zhaowu, the Ma family and the Qiang army have joined together and headed east."
Soon, his spies came to report to Cao Su the latest developments on the battlefield.
As soon as this statement came out, Cao Su's soldiers were a little surprised, subconsciously thinking that the Ma family had colluded with the Qiang people.
"How can the Ma family, which has been favored by the emperor in this life, join the Qiang people so easily?"
As a scholar, Wu Ming was very angry and immediately shouted out loudly, angrily complaining about the Ma family's "villain behavior".
"The Ma family has three thousand cavalry. If the Ma family joins forces with the Qiang people, wouldn't there be nearly ten thousand cavalry?"
Zhang Ke was secretly surprised and looked at Cao Su.
Cao Su smiled brightly: "This Ma family is quite interesting."
"They have joined forces just in time, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find them."
Seeing that the elders had misunderstood what he meant, the spies quickly explained: "My lords, the Ma family and the Qiang people did not join forces directly, but went east together, and did not attack us. They seemed to be preparing to go to the north of the racecourse.
"
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm afraid of these eight thousand people?"
"To tell you the truth, I won't even frown if I pay another 80,000 yuan."
After Zhang Ke heard this, he was very angry and yelled at his younger brother.
The younger brother was so ashamed that he repeatedly begged for mercy and bowed his head.
"Why!"
But Cao Su came out and stopped Zhang Ke: "Little brother, I didn't mean it. Captain Zhang shouldn't punish him too much."
All Tanma are Zhang Ke's subordinates. On weekdays, Zhang Ke is used to giving him a few more words of training.
Tan Ma didn't expect that Cao Su would actually speak for him. He couldn't help but raise his head with a look of excitement. He wished that he was so angry that he was willing to die for it.
At this time, light smoke appeared in the northwest direction.
Only dozens of riders were seen, galloping from the northwest.
"It's the Ma family cavalry!"
Zhang Ke whispered beside Cao Su.
Facing the blowing sand, Cao Su narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to block it, and his army immediately stopped where it was.
Silent and silent, waiting for the dozens of riders to rush over.
