The sun was setting in the west, there was a big battle, and the sky turned slightly dark before I knew it.
After the war, the Beiyuan grassland completely turned into a sea of flesh and blood, and the blood on the ground merged into a small river, dyeing the entire land red.
Hundreds of Qiang soldiers and generals on the ground were silently collecting the corpses of their compatriots after the war, and it was a desolate scene.
As time passed, the sky became darker and darker.
The cool breeze at night gradually began to blow, and the bright red wild grass on the grassland continued to sway with the night wind.
The shadows are blurry, like a hundred ghosts walking at night.
On the high meadow on the left side of the battlefield, Ma Chao led more than 700 Ma cavalry and was stationed here.
In the large tent in the center, Ma Chao was sitting lazily behind the tables, his handsome face dimming under the firelight, and he was carefully wiping the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand.
After a moment of silence, a gentle voice sounded.
"Is this what Father asked you to do?"
Next to him, Ma Jin, who had been waiting respectfully for a long time, quickly clasped his fists and replied: "Tell me, Major General, although Beiyuan is small, it is rich in medicinal materials. Beiyuan City is a place where medicinal merchants from all over the world gather on June day every year. Major General, for
In a desolate place like Liangzhou, the medicinal material business in Beiyuan has always been one of the most important sources of wealth besides the horse business. In the past, the major forces in Liangzhou had restrained each other behind the scenes, so they acquiesced to the autonomy of Beiyuan medicinal farmers, and each family just dispatched
The caravan came to take care of it. Unexpectedly, the Shaodang tribe of Shaodangmiwu's lineage migrated from nowhere. As soon as they arrived, they powerfully occupied Xiaowu Fort, a transportation thoroughfare, and then annexed the ancient city of Beiyuan.
Originally, all the forces should have reacted long ago, but the Shaodang Miwu was quite cunning. While making good friends with all the forces, he also sowed discord and caused the various forces to pull each other against each other. In addition, in the Beiyuan land, the Shaodang Qiang people's military strength
This is why the business in Beiyuan has been in the hands of the Shaodang Qiang people some time ago. Until some time ago, some people secretly took action and killed the old fox Shaodang Miwu in one fell swoop, which led to civil strife in the Shaodang tribe. This
Only then did the various forces fight overtly and covertly in Beiyuan. After half a year of fighting, the Beiyuan representatives supported by the major forces have basically been wiped out. Only the Jincheng Han family who supported Burning Lost City and those who just found the opportunity to participate are left.
us."
"Hmph! Then why did you stop me from pursuing Yan Xing during the day? Then you wanted to pursue the defeated Qiang army?"
Ma Chao, who had been silently listening for a long time, suddenly straightened his body, stared at Ma Jin with a pair of tiger eyes and asked.
"Major General, the Han family in Jincheng is powerful after all. This time Yan Xing is defeated, our goal has been achieved. Yan Xing is the number one general of the Han family, and he is also the son-in-law of Han Sui, the head of the Han family. If the major general continues to pursue during the day,
Killing him off the horse will inevitably lead to a fierce fight between our two families, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
Ma Jin was stared at by Ma Chao, and felt his breathing suddenly stagnant. He took a hard breath, endured the pressure, and quickly explained.
"As for the pursuit later, it was because of the Lord's order. The Lord asked a certain family to help burn Dangmi Ma and at the same time find ways to reduce the power of the Beiyuan Qiang people."
After Ma Jin said these words in one breath, he quickly lowered his head and knelt down, waiting for Ma Chao's attitude.
Inside the big tent, there was once again a suffocating silence.
After a long time, Ma Chao sat down lazily again and continued to wipe the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand.
"You keep talking."
Ma Jin saw Ma Chao regaining his lazy posture, and his heart was relieved. Although he knew in his heart that Ma Chao would not do anything to him easily, but when Ma Chao's demeanor was wrong, he would unconsciously feel towards Ma Chao.
Fear was like a mouse meeting a cat. When he heard Ma Chao asked to continue, he did not dare to neglect and said quickly: "Major General, although we did not pursue during the day. But now, you have defeated the Han family Yan Xing with force, causing Jincheng Han
The family withdrew from this competition. Although this also led to the rapid defeat of Shaodang Mima, which allowed Shaodang Mima to annex more of Shaodang Mima's subordinates, the Shaodang tribe was still severely damaged after all. Even if they were reunited into one
, but the great hatred between them has been forged, and there is a gap in their hearts, which is nothing to worry about. Now as long as we endure it for a few more days, after the lord has taken care of the other families and the negotiations are completed, there will definitely be a large army coming, and then we will
By coordinating the internal and external forces, we will be able to defeat the Shaodang tribe in one fell swoop and seize the entire Northern Plains. By then, the young general will be able to achieve great success without any effort, and the lord will be extremely happy."
Ma Chao lowered his eyes and wiped the tiger-headed golden gun bit by bit with his palm. He listened to Ma Jin telling his father's plan bit by bit.
The extinguishing flames illuminated his handsome face even more strangely.
After a long time, he stopped wiping, tightened his grip on the gun, and said indifferently.
"The great achievements will be made on their own, but it is definitely not according to father's arrangement. The Qiang people are cunning and unjust, and Shaodang Mima is the best among them. Although my father's plan is good, the variables are too great. Shaodang Mima will not be able to do it without you."
It’s as simple as you think.”
Having said this, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Ma Jin closely.
"You go ahead and make arrangements. When they finish cleaning up tonight and fall asleep, we will start."
As he spoke, he swiped his fingers across the tip of the spear that shone with cold light.
"Major General..."
Ma Jin was anxious and spoke quickly.
"Well... I will tell my father. Besides, even if we don't do anything, do you think Shaodang Mima is such an easy person to get along with?"
Before Ma Jin finished speaking, Ma Chao glanced at him coldly with a pair of tiger eyes. He suddenly felt cold all over his body, as if he was being stared at by a lion. He had no choice but to respond.
"promise!"
When Ma Chao saw Ma Jin's promise, he nodded with satisfaction, stretched his lazy body slightly, and a trace of unruliness flashed across his handsome face.
"Father, I will show you that without your planning, I can take Beiyuan for my Ma family."
As he spoke, his ears, which had already been strengthened by Gang Qi, moved slightly, as if he heard the noisy sound of the Qiang people in the distance.
What he didn't notice was that Ma Jin, who looked anxious on the surface and wanted to dissuade him, had an undetectable smile on his face the moment he lowered his head.
……………………………………………………
A mile away from the Ma family camp, countless torches were burning quietly under the night sky.
In the dark camp, apart from the occasional groans of the wounded soldiers, the only sound was the footsteps of patrolling sentries.
In the central tent, two majestic Qiang soldiers stood faithfully at their posts at the door. Inside the tent, a group of people gathered around burning Dangmi Ma and touting it loudly.
"Congratulations to the elders. This battle is a great victory over the lost city boy. From now on, I will be a member of the same lineage and will surely reach the top again under the guidance of the elders."
"Haha, Mi Tou, why should I be called an elder? I have to call him the clan leader! Hehe, I congratulate the clan leader anyway for solving a major problem in my heart. Once the kid from Mi City dies, the whole Shaodang clan will definitely respect the clan leader now."
The tall and powerful man in the center listened to the constant praise from his subordinates, but his face did not show any joy. Instead, he sat on the main seat and frowned tightly.
As everyone in the big tent followed the praise, they gradually realized that there was something wrong with Shao Dang Mima's mood. They looked at each other and closed their mouths one by one.
The big tent gradually became quiet, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly depressing.
After a long while, Shaodang Mima just sat upright, looked at the people in the tent and said: "Although the Lost City child is dead, the leader of this clan has never regarded him as a serious problem. Shaodang's internal affairs should have been resolved internally.
If that stupid kid hadn't attracted people from the Han family in Jincheng, how could I have gone to provoke the Ma family in Wuwei? Now that I'm in the same lineage, although the internal strife has been eliminated, the external troubles are still pending."
Several people in the big tent looked at each other, then bowed and asked: "Chief, just tell me what you mean! Whatever you say, we will follow you."
"Huh, stupid, the Han people are cunning. Both the Han family and the Ma family are just like the same family, and they are not all coveting the medicinal materials business in Beiyuan. The Lost City kid is stupid and casually invited people from the Han family in Jincheng.
, forcing the leader of my clan to go to the Ma family for help. Now that my Shaodang lineage has suffered heavy losses, it must be easier for the Ma family to invite gods than to send them away. Please tell my clan leader, what should I do?"
Shaodang Mima looked at the stupid faces of everyone in the tent, and couldn't help but snorted, suppressing the anger in her heart, and explained slowly.
"Ah! Patriarch, no way. I think the people of the Ma family are quite good. When we went to ask for help, even the young general of the Ma family came to help us personally. This time, if it weren't for the young general of the Ma family,
The general defeated the leading general of the Han family, causing the Han family to suddenly retreat, so we may not be able to win."
As soon as Shao Dang Mima finished speaking, a Qiang man took the lead in shouting.
"Shut up. In this world, the only thing you can trust is strength. The leader of this clan has decided to reorganize the troops tonight. After returning to Xiaowu City tomorrow, we will wait for the opportunity. We will take down the 700 Ma family troops first, especially to seize them.
Major General. As long as the Ma family is safe and sound from now on, if they have other ideas in mind, don't blame the leader of the clan for being ruthless."
After saying this, Shaodang Mima leaned back and said with a ferocious smile: "Ma family? Haha, Beiyuan can only be from my Shaodang lineage, and I am Shaodang Mima. Hahaha!"
"hey-hey!"
Although most of the people in the tent didn't understand what he meant, they started laughing when they saw Shaodang Mima smiling.
The big tent was filled with demons dancing wildly and it was very lively.
After a while, I felt numb before I stopped laughing, and waved my hand to signal everyone to get down.
