Chapter 114 Another Conquest of the Qiang

When Ma Su was looking for craftsmen to improve the papermaking technology, he had already begun to plan the next step to attack the Qiang and Di people.

In fact, at this time, there were not just one family of Qiang people, but several families.

The Qiang people in Longyou are divided into five tribes, scattered throughout the five counties of Longyou. These are just mountain people who are not very strong and still maintain nomadic raiding.

But there is still a Qiang and Hu force, which is dwarfed by the Qiang in Longyou.

They are a huge Qiang and Hu alliance in the north, entrenched in the Hetao Plain. They are an alliance regime composed of the Huns, Qiang Di, Xianbei and some Han people.

This group of people was the biggest threat from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

To talk about a simple fact, at this time, the Yanmen and other places in Yunzhong County and Shang County that belonged to Bingzhou during the Western Han Dynasty were basically taken away by this regime. In the later Jin Dynasty, the Jin army was beaten to the point where they had to rely on mercenaries to resist.

The cavalry and archers that they encountered in the Battle of Chencang were part of this group of Qiang and Hu people. Now they surrender to Cao Wei, and they will submit tribute to Cao Wei every year and contribute troops to fight the war.

This is a group of formidable enemies, and for Ma Su, he is a tall, short, fat and thin opponent that is just right.

Exactly half a month ago, it was mentioned in the battle report when Wei Yan reported against the Wei army in Liangzhou. It means that there are constant harassments by Qiang and Hu people in the north of Anding County, and now there seems to be a tendency to unite with the Wei army in Liangzhou.

So Ma Su planned to go north to have a drink with that group of people after dealing with the Qiang in Longyou.

However, Fei Yi's words surprised Ma Su. He was still talking about Ma Dai a few days ago, but today he brought this native of Longyou back.

It should be emphasized here that Ma Dai is named Bozhan, not Dinglin! !

But in Ma Su's view, this is not good news.

"Wen Wei can't believe in my Ma Su's ability! It's just the Qiang in Longyou, why does General Ma need to be dispatched?" Ma Su shook his head and said to Fei Yi.

If Ma Dai comes, his safety factor is not very high. For Ma Su, it was already very difficult for him to die if there was a way of heaven against him, but now if Ma Dai comes again, the Qiang in Longyou might just give up.

Then where can I die?

"I brought General Ma here because I trusted the general's abilities." Fei Yi smiled, shook his head, and continued.

"General Ma has just completed his filial piety for Meng Qi and has just returned to the army. He has no one under his command and no acquaintances in the army. This is the time when he needs someone to support him."

"I heard that General Youchang was hailed as a mighty general by the Longxi Qiang people, and his bravery was comparable to that of Ma Chao in the past. So I brought Ma Dai here in the hope that the general could support him."

After listening to Fei Yi's words, Ma Su thought for a while and suddenly realized.

By this time, Ma Chao had been dead of illness for a long time, and Ma Dai, the Longyou general, had been keeping filial piety to Ma Chao. Now that he has just entered his filial piety period and has no acquaintances in the army, he must gain some prestige as soon as possible.

But, the whole story of his Ma family was finished by Ma Chao. The remaining people have basically died of old age and retired in recent years, and there are not many left.

Fei Yi brought him out more for the purpose of letting Ma Su support him. With Ma Su's current combat power level, it shouldn't be a big problem to support Ma Dai.

"This is no problem, but it might be a bit dangerous to go with me to conquer the Qiang." Ma Di was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said.

"Don't worry, I can rest assured that Brother Youchang will do things! If anything happens, it's just bad luck." Fei Yi shook his head and patted Ma Su on the shoulder.

"When Ma Dai followed General Meng Qi to fight in Longyou, he survived the danger. Now with this little crisis, I don't think anything will happen."

"Well, in that case, let Bozhan follow me in my song, and I will fill in the song for him when I find a chance." Ma Di thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

That's right, with Ma Dai's level there shouldn't be any problems.

I think it will be fine if you follow me to the Qiang camp with a hundred people, right?

After negotiating the matter, Ma Su and Fei Yi quickly handed over the power of Yongzhou. After handing the governor's seal and ribbon to Fei Yi, Ma Su suddenly remembered something. He picked up a piece of paper on the chopping board and scrawled a line of words, and then handed it to Fei Yi.

"Leave this to you, Shijun!" Ma Di looked at his handwriting, shook his head helplessly, and then handed it to Fei Yi.

"What is this?" Fei Yi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Ma Su meant.

"Military order!" Ma Su turned around and walked out without looking back.

"Every time I go on an expedition, I will first issue a military order to the main camp. I heard it is auspicious."

"Ah this..."

Fei Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Looking at Ma Su's attitude, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"You Chang has changed so much..."

Ma Di soon met Ma Dai, a general who had just come out of his mourning period.

I saw that Ma Dai was still wearing white clothes and had not yet removed his filial piety.

This is similar to what he did before Ma Su became an official. He was also keeping filial piety for his dead brother.

"My subordinate, Ma Dai, have met the general!" Ma Dai bowed his hands and saluted Ma Su respectfully.

Ma Su nodded slightly, looked at the general in front of him who was also over thirty years old, patted his shoulder and said.

"Bo Zhan, you are welcome to come back and serve the Kuangfu Han Dynasty. For the next period of time, you can follow me to conquer the Qiang in Longyou."

"Wei!" Ma Dai has a reserved personality and looks very steady. Looking at him, he looks like a Confucian general.

"But I have to make it clear in advance that I fight aggressively and like to make dangerous moves. Therefore, it may be a bit dangerous to conquer the Qiang with me. Bozhan must be mentally prepared." Ma Di nodded, but still said uneasily.

"If you don't want to go to conquer, you can go to Longxi County to help Li Mu appease the Qiang people. In your capacity, you still..."

"No need for you, Lord Fu! I am willing to follow the general to conquer the Qiang people who do not surrender!"

Ma Dai spoke at this time, speaking calmly.

"In the past, I and my brother roamed across Xiliang, and every Qiang they encountered was invincible. I have never been afraid of the dangers on the battlefield, and I will never hold back the Lord!"

"Okay!" Ma Su nodded and finally said.

"You must follow me closely when the time comes, and be sure to pay attention to safety!"

Ma Dai felt that he was stable. After all, he had heard of Ma Di's reputation for a long time. This Jingxiang man doesn't seem to be bad at horseback riding as is unique to the south, and he is very fierce in battle.

But soon, Ma Dai discovered that something was wrong.

"Master Fu, do you plan to lead this small number of people to attack the Qiang and Di tribe?" Ma Dai looked at Ma Su and the less than a hundred cavalrymen behind him in disbelief.

"Otherwise? That's all." Ma Di answered while putting on his armor.

"Isn't this a little too little?" Ma Dai found it difficult to accept. This was too risky!

You must know that any Qiang Di tribe must have thousands of people, and even his brother would have to lead more than a thousand people to attack.

"What's missing? I've always had so many people for so long!" Ma Di waved his hand and expressed a small problem with Ma Dai's question.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Just watch me defeat those Qiang and Di thieves!"

I have a headache from reviewing. I really want to play two Stars of Love and Peace.
