Ma Yue was a little unhappy, the people had not yet reached Wuwei, but they had been told by the chasing Tanma that Han Wenyue's envoy ran to Zhangjiachuan in the starry night, and Han Sui, the captain of Jincheng, reported the disaster to the whole territory of Liangzhou and asked Liangzhou Muma Yue for 100,000 stones of grain and grass for disaster relief.

Yang Feng's rangers had already informed Ma Yue that only Hanyang Longxian, Zhangjiachuan and other territories in Liangzhou had suffered from the disaster of ground movement, and Han Sui asked for food at this time, which was nothing more than taking advantage of the fire to rob.

But the problem is that this robbery is too urgent, and Liangzhou can't get 100,000 stone of grain now.

What's more, even if he can show his hand, Ma Yue doesn't want to ask for it.

"So you don't have to worry too much, Han Wen asks for food, and we will give it." Jia Xu finally got old, and as soon as Zu Li passed, he sat on the back car and couldn't drive the horse. After closing his eyes for a moment, he said to Ma Yue: "This matter will be handed over to his subordinates to do, and when this matter is over, his subordinates will go to Jincheng to discuss with Han Sui in detail, envoy, how much grain can Hanyang come up with?" ”

"No more than 80,000 stones." Ma Yue sighed, if he could get 100,000 stones, it would be okay to give it to Han Sui, but now he only had very little left in his hand, and he still had to prepare the food for the winter, so he couldn't take out that much at all.

Although Ma Yue gritted his teeth with hatred for Han Sui's move in his heart, he couldn't do anything to make Han Sui suffer the bitter consequences of greed coveting him.

He couldn't do anything, Yang Feng was still in the territory of Zhiwudai and it was difficult to get out of danger, and Han Sui forced another 100,000 stone grain and grass...... Liangzhou means worse for Ma Yue.

This grief and indignation was mixed with a feeling of powerlessness, which accompanied Ma Yue until he saw it with his own eyes.

Zhi Wudai is not as old as Ma Yue thinks, but he is a little older than him Qiang man, in this land where the prestige of the Han family is difficult to come, whether it is the Qiang people or the Han people, they have to fight their own world with their fists and hands, Zhi Wudai is undoubtedly one of the best, he has an innate pride and these years under the command of Nanqiang from hundreds of horses to a large tent of nearly 10,000 riders can be seen.

When Ma Yue entered the camp, thousands of horsemen whistled, hundreds of shirtless Qiang men sang and danced wildly in the camp, and the bonfire was set up with scorching livestock, and Nanqiang Jiaoniang stood behind the tent holding a musical instrument waiting for the leader's summons, and before that...... Ma Yue and his retinue were asked to untie their swords.

Ma Yue frowned, Jia Xu said with a smile on his face: "There is no school captain, where is there a reason for the state pastor to come to untie the sword, I'm afraid that this is not polite, right?" ”

"Jia Wenhe, you didn't follow General Dong to do things, but I didn't expect to run for our Mazhou Mu now." Zhi Wudai had long noticed that the old man who was following Ma Yue was Jia Xu, and they were old acquaintances in Wuwei, but at this time, Ma Yue was in front of him, and he only bowed his hand slightly, and then said: "Please forgive me, my subordinates are not only the captains under your command, but also the leaders of the Qiang tribe." Therefore, I am afraid that your servants must unarm their weapons. ”

"Not negotiable?" When Ma Yue asked this, he didn't look at Zhi Wudai, but just looked left and right at his entourage, as well as the outfits of the men in the tribe with bronze arc knives on their waists and hips as far as his eyes could see.

"We can discuss everything else, but this one can't." Zhi Wudai had a smile on his face, but his words left no room for anything, "The king killed the king of Qiang with only two hundred galloping horses, and his subordinates are just a small leader, I'm afraid that a dozen of you are enough." Therefore, not only your entourage must disarm your weapons, so that the dagger on your company will be relieved, otherwise please forgive your subordinates for not daring to let you into the camp. ”

The Xiqiang men have never forgotten that the sound of horses' hooves eight years ago brought the death of the northern palace uncle of David, the king of David, who was about to ascend to the Qiang king, at the hands of a young man named Ma Yue.

Three hundred strong men went to the Qiang camp and retreated.

Ma Yue looked around and laughed heartily, this laughter was delaying time for him, and his mind kept spinning to think about the possibility of Zhi Wudai wanting to kill him.

"Since Captain Zhiwu is afraid of this, hey, guests are free to the master, sons, get off your weapons!" Ma Yue didn't think that Zhi Wudai had any reason to kill him in the end, so he took off the saber from his waist with a long smile, and then threw the talisman dagger on the copper plate held by the Qiang people's entourage, grabbed Zhi Wudai's arm and walked in, "After all, there are always people who have to pay trust first, right, Leader Zhiwu?" ”

Zhi Wudai is not so easy to let go of Ma Yue, as soon as his arm is caught, he wants to pull it away, but he finds that Ma Yue's arm is tightly grasped on his arm like a copper, iron and steel hoop, which is not at all something he can break away with this kind of strength, so he can only rely on Ma Yue to follow his arm into the account.

Although there are thousands of riders outside, Ma Yue is not afraid, as soon as he tries his hand, he has already felt the number of ways to cure Wu Dai clearly, this Qiang martial arts is much worse than him, as long as he does not disappear in his sight.

Within ten steps, if Ma Yue wants to take his life, he will be in the palm of his hand, and even 100,000 soldiers and horses outside will not be able to save him!

"Mazhou Mu came to Wuwei, I think there is something to do, I hope you can explain it." The two wanted to sit down in front of a few cases, but Zhi Wudai waved his hand to let Qiang Ji enter the account to accompany the wine, and took the lead in drinking a bowl before wiping his mouth and saying: "Straight to the point, I just said that except for the sword that must be unsold, everything else is negotiable." ”

Qiang Qu'er surrounded his ears, and everywhere Yingying Yanyan accompanied the wine and tasted the food, Ma Yue enjoyed it a lot, but he was very happy in his heart.

Observing a person's words and deeds, looking at a person's living conditions, you can understand how ambitious this person is, these gorgeous clothes, wine-colored sound and flesh are like dung to Ma Yue, but Zhi Wudai likes it so much, Ma Yue can basically already be sure that this Zhi Wudai is an easy person to get along with.

As long as a person has desires, it is easy to get along.

He showed his desires at a glance, and what else could he be difficult to deal with?

"I can't hide it, I came here today to give the grudge between the captain of Zhiwu and an important minister of a certain state pastor's house, hoping to resolve the grudge." Ma Yue invited a bowl of wine and gently spit out a name, "Ghost Feng, Yang Aruo." ”

As Ma Yue expected, as soon as Yang Feng's name was said, Zhi Wudai's face immediately changed greatly, and he rolled up his sleeves suddenly, and almost left the table.

"Envoy, that ghost Feng once wanted to kill me, will you let go of the person who wants to kill you?" Zhi Wudai stiffened his neck, his cheeks flushed, "Don't say more, I have to get rid of that ghost Feng!" ”

"Leader, with all due respect, even if you have this hatred, have you thought about the rest of it? Yang Feng is my retainer and important minister, I don't want to be the enemy of the leader of Zhiwu, Ma has never thought about who to be the enemy of, otherwise he will not be the captain of the ten departments, that is the greatest sincerity of Ma. Ma Yue arched his hand and said righteously: "In the past, the imperial court didn't understand Liangzhou, didn't understand our Qiang people, and every time they went into the army to encircle and suppress, they might not live if they didn't rebel, so they reversed." If someone else is replaced as the state pastor, think about it, who will rehabilitate everyone? My Ma Yue has been a cool man since I was a child, and I have shed blood on this land, and I understand that we are all the same. ”

"I am the state pastor, not to suppress anyone, to level anyone, I am so that the people can eat enough regardless of Han and Qiang, and the leaders do not have to wage wars again and again because of insufficient food, so that Liangzhou can live a good life." When Ma Yue said this, he changed his words and said: "But I can't allow anyone to touch my people, there are countless precedents ahead, and I won't say much about their fate." If you are willing to withdraw your bounty from Guifeng and let him go back to Hanyang, I will give you a compensatory amount, which will be much better than executing a ranger in exchange for a war that causes turmoil in Liangzhou. ”

Zhi Wudai frowned, including anger at Ma Yue's threat of war, and ridicule at Ma Yue's confession, and forced his anger to think and not speak.

"When I came in, I saw that many men under the command of the leader of Zhiwu were wearing bronze arc knives, I had used that kind of knife, it was difficult to do a good job of quenching, it was not tough enough and easy to break, and the thick back ensured the damage but it was too heavy, and it was not the best weapon on the battlefield." Ma Yue looked around, pointed at Zhi Wudai's subordinates, and made a judgment on the weapons of the soldiers under his command, and then turned back to Zhi Wudai and said: "Killing a Yang Feng can only make the leader of Zhi Wu vent his anger, but if you don't kill him, you will get Ma someone's personal gratitude, I am not your enemy, right?" ”

Zhi Wudai's face was uncertain, Ma Yue's remarks on the bronze arc knife were not worth mentioning in his opinion, and the most advantageous weapon of his subordinates was the bow and arrow, so he used the wood in the deep forest next to Wuwei Zuli County and mixed it with the hard horns of the yak in the snow mountain, and the cowhide was boiled with glue, and the hard bow made in a year and a half can reach three stone bow power, and one arrow can penetrate four layers of leather armor, which is comparable to the sword.

Immediately, an arrow struck the rider who was sixty paces away, and there were as many as eight hundred of them under his command!

However, Ma Yue also said a sentence that hit his heart hard, they are not enemies.

Contrary to the passage of time, it is the resentment that is fading day by day, and the anger at Yang Feng's assassination of himself back then is not as good as in the past, and wanting to kill Yang Feng is nothing more than a self-preservation mentality, now Han Sui is not his enemy, Song Jian is still far away from him, if Ma Yue is not his enemy, it means that there is no enemy in Liangzhou and in the world, can't this make him sit back and relax?

"If I don't kill Oni Feng, in addition to the gratitude of the envoy, I also need a promise from the envoy." Zhi Wudai looked at Ma Yue and said: "Ghost Feng is a daughter, I want to hear his promise with my own ears, I will let him go, he will let me go, and the grievances will be written off." ”

Ma Yue stood up with a smile on his face, spilled most of the bowl of wine, and toasted: "There is no leader Gao Yi!" Fill this cup! ”

Zhi Wudai picked up the wine bowl, poured the clear wine into his throat, wiped his mouth and said with a long breath: "I am not your enemy either, Ma Envoy Jun." ”

At this moment, the cavalry in the camp ran over and whistled into the tent, pointing at Zhi Wudai behind him and shouting: "Big, big, sir, Yan Jun grabbed Guifeng and took him over, I want you to invite him to drink!" ”
