Chapter 1030: Discrimination between Qiang and Han
Although Ma Chao knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the Qiang cavalry was basically nothing. In places like the Central Plains, they could only fight infantry, and even elite infantry might not be able to deal with them.
You must know that in the past when the Xiliang Qiang rebellion was quelled, the elite Danyang soldiers fought in conjunction with the Xiliang cavalry to crush the Qiang cavalry. Although their physical fitness was not weaker than that of the Han people, in this era, once the number exceeded a hundred, it was difficult for foreigners to fight head-on.
After passing the Han court's army, this has almost become axiom, and even the foreigners themselves have admitted this reality.
Well, no matter how ridiculous the Qiang Cavalry's combat effectiveness is, at least it's quite good as a support player and in a downwind battle. After all, the numbers are there, and a large group of people rush forward, and the momentum is still very strong.
Thinking about fighting a smooth battle, shouting and cheering can actually be done well, so Ma Chao doesn't care much. He came to seize the position of Qiang King. In fact, he just wanted to stabilize the Qiang Hu and prevent their family from being used by Cao Cao as the Qiang Hu.
The excuses have been dealt with, but as for actually using Qiang Hu as his subordinates, it is better to give up.
Ma Chao knows this very well. The strength of the Qiang and Xianbei is really nothing. If they face the Han army, they will definitely die. However, if they cannot stand up to the Han army, they cannot focus all their work on the Qiang and Xianbei. Otherwise, they would have been killed long ago.
Packed away.
In fact, every time the Han Dynasty punished the Qiang, Hu and Xianbei, they tied their arms and legs and beat them. Otherwise, it would be strange if the Qiang, Hu and Xianbei could take advantage.
However, regardless of whether they have strong fighting power or not, this is enough to show that the Qiang people really expressed their surrender. After all, the Qiang people's fine cavalry, which is quite weak to Ma Chao, is already considered a powerful fighting force to the Qiang people.
"I have met the King of Qiang. I wonder how the King plans to govern the Qiang people?"
, but the etiquette for foreign ministers to meet princes and kings.
Although Ma Chao is relatively upright, after all, he was born into a noble family and has been exposed to all kinds of etiquette. He clearly understands what kind of people can use it.
"Sir, why are you doing this? Although Meng Qi is the king of Qiang, my father is still the general of the Han Dynasty conquering the west. The blood of the Qiang people flows in my body. Don't I have the blood of the Han people?" Ma Chao said calmly.
, these Fa Zheng have already made it clear to him.
"So I would like to congratulate King Qiang."
"Sir, why do you need to do this? The Qiang and Han people trace their origins. In the end, they are just the same ancestors. Why do you need to do such a move? The blood of the ancient Shennong family can flow in my body. Don't you recognize this bloodline and even culture?"
The inheritance in it?" Ma Chao mocked in a low voice.
What Fazheng taught Ma Chao was very simple. If Cao Cao talked about blood, then Ma Chao should talk about the ancient Shennong clan. After all, the Qiang and Han tribes themselves have the same ancestor, and the blood flowing in their bodies is the blood of the Shennong clan.
Similarly, if Cao Cao talks about culture, then Ma Chao only needs to make the same gesture. After Ma Chao, even if his family is in decline, he still has a perfect grasp of these things.
"How dare you doubt Meng Qi." Xun You shook his head. He already understood that the matter was beyond control. Ma Chao had made all the preparations with the help of someone who knew who.
"Sir, I'm so grateful for such a great gift. In my opinion, since the Qiang and Han people have the same ancestors, why should they be treated differently? Isn't it because the Qiang people plundered because there is no way to solve the food problem? As the saying goes, you know the etiquette if you are talented. I think you come from a wealthy family.
Mr. Xun's family has more experience." Ma Chao looked at Xun You with a majestic look on his face.
Then, without waiting for Xun You to answer, Ma Chao continued, "Sir, you can raise your hand and look at your own clothes, and then look at these leaders of the ancient Qiang tribe. They are all nobles in a tribe who control the life and death of others.
In comparison, you can understand better."
How can the clothes of the Qiang people be comparable to Xun You? Even if Xun You is not as exaggerated as Liu Xiang Xun Ling, he is definitely not something that these barbarians can reach. A simple and elegant Confucian robe is enough to throw out these ancient Qiang people who are still wearing sheepskins.
A few streets away, not to mention the decoration of the gold and jade hair crown, the difference between clouds and mud is huge!
Xun You's expression basically didn't change. He already knew what Ma Chao was going to say, but he couldn't let Ma Chao finish the journey completely. He immediately said, "My Lord also wanted to improve the lives of all the people under his rule. Whether these people are Han or Qiang,
It's just a chaotic war between hundreds of Qiang people, how can we have a chance?"
"I think now is the opportunity. The life of the Qiang people in Xiliang is extremely difficult. For a bite to eat, a piece of pasture, and an oasis, many Qiang people have fallen." There was even a trace of compassion in Ma Chao's voice.
The tribal leaders present all looked a little sad. Ma Chao was telling the truth.
"Compare your lives, Mr. Xun, I'm afraid you know it well. You all know the strength of the Han Dynasty. Are you willing to still live this kind of life of licking blood from the edge of a knife?" Ma Chao said with a compassionate expression.
He has been practicing for a long time.
"Perhaps you think that with me, the Qiang King, leading you, you will reach the top, but I can only tell you that the Qiang people are too small to be able to give birth to a peerless strong man. I am not even a master in the Central Plains.
!" Ma Chao said with emotion.
The Qiang leaders all had expressions of disbelief on their faces, and Ma Chao also saw the expressions of all the leaders and looked at Dian Wei, "General Dian, please let them see the strength of the Central Plains generals."
Dian Wei smiled, showing his snow-white teeth, and then punched the ground. When the punch was thrown, even the air was clearly distorted, reflecting various colors of luster, and then after a soft sound, a
A hole as big as Wengkou appeared at Dianwei's feet.
The leaders of the Qiang tribe were all confused and did not understand at all. Only the first elder, second elder, and fourth elder looked solemn. After a long time, they silently said, "May I ask your Majesty, is this general the most powerful general in the Central Plains?
?”
"I, Lao Dian, really want to be number one, but we didn't make the list of strong men!" Dian Wei said helplessly, stroking his beard. The situation of thirty-six Lu Bu was simply disappointing.
"That's the fact. I'm not on the list either." Ma Chao nodded and said, "There's only one person in the world who deserves it."
"I think you also want to enter the Central Plains, you also want to own your own land, and you also want to live a stable life. No one wants to live such a hard life." Ma Chao looked at the Qiang nobles and said, "There are too many strong men in the Han Dynasty.
Well, if you weren’t considered my mother clan, I really don’t want to care about it.”
