Ma Chao smiled and said calmly: "General Pang, one day, I will make you admire me so much that you fall to the ground. However, now that you are injured, you'd better go back to recuperate quickly. Qiang people are not good at using strategies. This time I can
To lure you out of Linrong City means that there is a wise and resourceful person among the Qiang people, and I'm sure it's Cao A'hao who was sent by that thief again."
"I was careless this time, and I will definitely not be so careless next time. However, thank you for your life-saving grace. I owe you my life, and I will pay it back to you if I have the chance." Pound's voice changed as soon as he finished speaking.
After getting off the horse's head, he went down the hillside with a "chirp" and called his men back to the city.
"General, this man is too arrogant. If the general hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid he would have died here. He is very repulsive to the general, and the people in Linrong City are all his subordinates. We don't have any soldiers. He
What should I do if I don't obey the general's orders?" When Wang Shuang saw Pang De's leaving figure, he felt sorry for Ma Chao.
Ma Chao raised his head, glanced at the blue sky, sighed, and said: "How can you not bow your head when you are under the eaves? Since I have surrendered to the Huaxia Kingdom and issued an order, if I can't get rid of it this time,
Without Qiang, I, Ma Chao, cannot gain a foothold in the Huaxia Kingdom. However, once I achieve military success in the Huaxia Kingdom, I will be able to gain a foothold here. As for what others think, I no longer care."
After Wang Shuang heard this, he felt that Ma Chao had changed too much recently. He used to be a high-ranking prince. If anyone dared to contradict him or go against his will, he would be beaten into a disability without killing him. But now,
Despite being so contradicted by Pound, he actually didn't get angry.
Wang Shuang didn't understand and couldn't figure it out.
It was no accident that Ma Chao dared to issue a military order this time. Instead of being locked in a cage every day, it would be better to gallop between heaven and earth. The vast wilderness, the vast sky, and the iron-blooded battlefield were what he should go to. He didn't want to
To be a caged bird, you must first make yourself a beast in the world and let others see your power.
"Let's go! Follow them to Linrong City, and take those bison to Linrong City with them." As soon as Ma Chao's voice fell, he shouted "drive" and ran down the hillside.
"General...how are you going to take these bisons? General...general..." Wang Shuang was worried and asked him to take these bisons to Linrong City. Oh my god, how could hundreds of bisons listen to him? Before
, he imitated the tiger's cry to scare the herd of bison into running in the forest. Now hundreds of bison were parked at the bottom of the hillside, eating weeds leisurely. How could he drive them away?
?
"Line the roar of tigers again? No, no, no. In that case, once this herd of bison panics, they will run away. I really don't understand, what does the general want these herds of bison to do?" Wang Shuang looked at the more than a hundred bison below, worried, and thought hard.
I still don't know how to take away this herd of bison.
Suddenly, he saw the largest bison grazing there. The other bison within two meters of him did not dare to get close. He thought that bison was the leader of the herd. He patted his thigh and smiled.
After noticing, he jumped off the horse, took out the long sword hanging from his waist, and went down the hillside.
………………
Pang De took the remaining men and carried the dead soldiers back to Linrong City slowly and leisurely.
When the captain in charge of guarding the city saw Pound returning, he immediately opened the city gate and went out to greet him. He rode his horse to Pound's side and said, "General, are you injured? What's going on?"
"Forget it, we were ambushed because I was too careless. Bury all the soldiers who died in battle, write a list of those who died in battle, and send someone to submit it to the Ministry of War." Pound looked ashamed. This was his first time in history.
They failed several times, and they were defeated by the Qiang people.
After a group of people entered the city, the soldiers guarding the city were about to close the door. When Pound saw it, he hurriedly said: "Wait! Don't close the door yet. General Zhengxi, appointed by the emperor, has arrived and is behind, leaving the door open for General Zhengxi.
"
After saying that, Pound went into the city to treat his injuries.
Not long after, the soldiers guarding the city saw a knight coming from the wilderness. He had a silver helmet, silver armor, and a white horse. He was very eye-catching in this open field, and the spear in his hand was also very eye-catching.
Eye-catching, the gun was blood-gold in color, with three spearheads, like burning flames. From a distance, it looked like a ball of fire in the hands of the knight.
When the captain guarding the city saw it, he couldn't help but be startled and said suspiciously: "This person should be General Zhengxi, but why is General Zhengxi alone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw dust flying behind the hillside two or three miles away from Ma Chao, like the traces of a large group of cavalry moving. However, when they saw a herd of bison turning out from behind the hillside, they were shocked.
There was a man riding on the bison charging at the front, holding a long pole in his hand, with a rope tied under the pole, and a bright red object tied to the rope, and he was rushing here quickly.
After a while, Ma Chao arrived at the city. He did not enter the city in time. Instead, he reined in his horse and stopped at the city gate. He watched Wang Shuang riding on the back of a bison and galloping over with more than a hundred bison.
Then he took a deep breath and shouted: "Slow down and let the bison stop outside the city!"
After Wang Shuang heard Ma Chao's voice, he nodded. He immediately threw away the long pole in his hand, took out the bright red object, clamped his legs around the bison's belly, and miraculously reduced the speed of the bison.
After being lowered, the more than a hundred bison behind them also slowed down. When they arrived at the city, a group of bison all stopped there, breathing heavily.
Ma Chao glanced at what Wang was holding in his hands and asked, "What are you holding?"
"It's nothing, it's a wooden stick stained with blood. I heard that cows will go crazy when they see red, so I cut off a wooden stick and smeared the whole stick with the blood of the Qiang people, and then led the herd of cattle to
Come here." Wang Shuang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said slowly.
"It's hard for you. Now, drive these bison into the city." After Ma Chao finished speaking, he turned the horse's head and rode into the city.
The captain who was standing on the city wall heard this and hurriedly came down from the city tower and came to Ma Chao. He first paid homage and said: "The last general will bow to the general!"
"Yeah." Ma Chao ignored him and continued riding towards the city.
"Could the general want to drive these buffaloes into the city?"
Ma Chao reined in his horse, heard what was said, turned around and asked, "So what?"
"This city only lives with people, but it can't accommodate these beasts. If these beasts really enter the city, they can only be sent to the kitchen and killed and eaten!"
"These are the soldiers I brought, they are my subordinates. How dare you call my subordinates beasts and kill them to eat? You are so brave!" Ma Chao suddenly changed his face and said angrily.
When the captain saw Ma Chao angry and heard Ma Chao say that these buffaloes were his subordinates, he was immediately confused and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Please forgive me, general, I don't know about these animals... these buffaloes are the general's subordinates. How many of them are there?"
Offensive! However, there are only barracks in the city and no cattle sheds. Besides, General Pang will not tolerate a herd of bison running around in the city..."
"I am the general who conquered the West and was entrusted by the emperor to control all the soldiers in Shuofang Mansion. Are you trying to disobey my orders by talking to me like this?"
"The general will not dare!"
"Then don't meddle in other people's business. There are no cowsheds in the city. Who said my subordinates should live in cowsheds?"
The school captain asked suspiciously: "If you don't live in the cowshed, where can you live?"
"They are my subordinates, so of course they live in the barracks!"
"Live...live in the barracks?" The captain was very surprised.
"Stop being so verbose, go and create a barracks for my men. They will be served with high-quality fodder. If they lose weight due to hunger, I will only ask you!" Ma Chao said sternly.
The captain did not dare to offend and immediately said: "No! I will understand!"
Ma Chao turned to Wang Shuang and said: "After arranging these subordinates, come to the prefect's Yamen to find me!"
Wang Shuang didn't know what kind of medicine Ma Chao was selling in his gourd, so he asked him to drive the cattle over. He thought he was here to comfort the soldiers here, but he didn't know that he actually regarded these buffaloes as his subordinates. He "promised"
With a cry, the buffaloes rushed into the city one by one, and then followed the captain to arrange a barracks for the buffaloes.
The news soon spread among the soldiers. After Wang Shuang drove the cattle away, the soldiers began to talk about it, and some even snickered. Finally, someone who didn't know who it was jokingly called Ma Chao "
Ma Chao instantly became the Bull Demon King, and Wang Shuang was also called Crazy.
General Niu. Such a title spread among the soldiers.
Ma Chao rode his horse to the prefect's Yamen, got off his horse, and went straight in. As soon as he entered the lobby of the Yamen, he saw the military doctor dressing Pang De's wound, and said: "General Pang, I want you to tell me about the place at the foot of Helan Mountain.
That’s the situation of the Qiang people.”
"I heard that you are hailed as the mighty general by the Xiqiang people. You should know the Qiang people very well. Why do you ask me about it instead?" Pang De said unhappily.
"You don't want to say it?"
"So what?"
"Haha, General Pang has quite a temper. Don't forget, the emperor's imperial edict is clearly written, allowing you to be controlled by me. If you don't cooperate with me, you are disobeying the imperial edict."
Pang De snorted coldly and said: "I only saw the emperor's handwriting, not the imperial edict. Besides, the general is not subject to military orders abroad. Why do you want me to obey you? According to the official rank, you and I are both
We are in a position where no one is subordinate to anyone else. The emperor just asked me to assist you, but did not say that I must listen to you!"
Ma Chao sneered, and immediately took out an imperial edict from his arms. After opening it, he hung it in front of Pang De's eyes and said sternly: "General Pang, you can see clearly. This is a real imperial edict. It is clearly written on it.
