These chapters about the Qiang people, judging from the information, should have been gone before, but because of the needs of the plot in the text, it is always inevitable to add fictional things, and everyone should not take this too seriously. After all, individuals write novels, not history. And from the first chapter, I also said that personal writing is not a small number of fictional things. Anyway, I personally think that the general direction is right, so everyone in other places should be able to understand a little bit.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Just more than a month after Ma Chao got married, he finally sent his troops to Xiqiang, ready to lead the troops to slaughter and burn Dangqiang. And the people who went with him were naturally Zhang Fei, Wu Anguo and the eighteen sons. Ma Chao was not going to bring too many soldiers, but he only took away half of the Liangzhou army, 30,000 people.

The reason why he only took half of it away was that Ma Chao thought that the current burning of Dangqiang was actually not enough for his entire army to go out, after all, the current burning of Dangqiang was not the same burning Dangqiang as before, so he felt that his 30,000 people could still destroy all of the burning Dangqiang. Therefore, "kill chickens with cattle slaughtering knives", 60,000 people are cattle slaughtering knives, and 30,000 people are the knives to kill chickens.

"Husband, go early and come back early, Zhen'er is waiting for you!"

At this time, in the Longxian Thorn History Mansion, Mi Zhen knew that her husband was going to lead the troops to the battle, so she naturally wanted to bid farewell to Ma Chao. To say that it has only been more than a month since the two got married, and Mi Zhen and Ma Chao are also like glue. Although Ma Chao has to deal with official business every day, he is with Mi Zhen in his other free time, anyway, when he can accompany her, Ma Chao will never do anything else.

And Mi Zhen also knows everything about this, and she knows what her husband is busy with, but today Ma Chao wants to lead the troops to the battle, and she is still very reluctant. After all, going to the battlefield is not to go to the mountains and rivers, so it is too dangerous to be reassured.

In the past, she was not by Ma Chao's side, so Ma Chao led the troops to the expedition, and she didn't know what to do, but this time Mi Zhen was his wife, and it was also the first time to say goodbye to her husband. Mi Zhen can also deeply understand the feeling of sending her husband to the battlefield as a wife. Usually she is the wife of the state pastor and the main mother, but at this time she is just a wife who looks forward to her husband's victorious return as soon as possible. In fact, she was in the same mood as the other soldiers' wives, and there was no difference between them.

And Ma Chao is even more deeply aware of it, he used to be such a person himself, although he had a mother and younger brothers and sisters, but they were not by his side, so he saw the soldier's wife farewell to her husband, although it was not a small sight, but he had not experienced this personally, so he didn't have much feeling about it.

But today is different from the past, and now I am also a family person, and it has been more than a month since I got married. And his wife Mi Zhen is not only first-class in appearance, not only talented, not only has a family background, but also is virtuous and generous, knows how to run the house, and gets along very well with her mother, younger brothers and sisters, and is also well-known in her subordinates, they are very respectful of this housewife.

In the past month or so, Ma Chao finally understood what a good wife is, and as for a good mother, he will know this in the future. But the good wife is indeed like this, Ma Chao also laughed in his heart when he had nothing to do, what is a blessing, this is. The ancients Zeng Yun, "There are good wives in the family, and men don't do bad things", for such a long time, Ma Chao understood what the ancients meant. And Mi Zhen, her wife, her influence on herself is indeed very big.

At this time, Ma Chao felt that he was very happy, someone was concerned about him, and of course he was one more person to worry about.

Ma Chao smiled slightly, "Don't worry, my husband is still reluctant to Zhen'er, of course I have to come back early!" ”

When Mi Zhen heard this, she seemed to remember something, and her face suddenly turned red. She just wanted to implement her own means against Ma Chao, but when she saw that Ma Chao was wearing armor now, she couldn't act at all, so at this time, she could only whisper coquettishly: "Brother Meng Qi, you hate it, ignore you!" ”

Ma Chao raised his eyebrows and smiled, he especially likes to see Mi Zhen like this, because Mi Zhen has a very good and positive image in front of others. And only in front of herself, she is still the same as when she knew her before, and she is always like this. It was only at this time that Ma Chao did not forget that she is only eighteen years old now, and she is still a little girl who is not too old.

"Okay, I'm leaving, it's a big deal to come back and let Zhen'er do this to you!"

Ma Chao is usually very dishonest to Mi Zhen, so he is always pinched by Mi Zhen, but today he put on the armor, and this trick can't be used, so Ma Chao can only say it back. In fact, as a person who has practiced martial arts for many years, of course this is of little use to him, but he has nothing to tease the little girl, which is actually quite interesting, at least that's what Ma Chao thinks.

Mi Zhen wrinkled her pretty little nose, clenched her fist with her right hand, and shook it in front of Ma Chao, "Hmph! ”

Ma Chao hugged her at this time, then kissed her on the forehead, and said lovingly: "Okay, I'll leave now!" ”

Mi Zhen is used to Ma Chao like this, because Ma Chao often sneaks up on her, but fortunately, there are only two of them in the house, if there are others here, Mi Zhen will still be a little embarrassed, although she has already married Ma Chao, but after all, Mi Zhen is still a little girl.

Ma Chao opened the door and left without looking back, he was afraid that if he looked at Mi Zhen a few more times, he might be reluctant to leave. To say that Ma Chao feels that his self-control is not bad, and he is not an easily moved person, but in the face of Mi Zhen, Ma Chao has to admit that she is his biggest weakness.

At the gate of Longxian County, except for Mi Zhen, the other people came, after all, Ma Chao was going to lead the troops to the battle, and it was impossible for his subordinates not to come to send them off. Not only them, but also the wives and relatives of the soldiers who live in Longxian County also came. Ma Chao looked at them, and he had to sigh about this, he didn't know how many of the 30,000 people he took away. In this regard, I can only say that I am doing my best, trying to bring them all back safely, this is the troubled times, this is the war. Even if you don't deal with the Qiang people, it is impossible to avoid war, unless the world is really peaceful and there is no more war, then it may be good.

Ma Chao first said a few words to Chen Zhi, and then said to Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, please leave the affairs of the house to Mr." ”

Jia Xu said lightly: "Don't worry, lord! ”

Ma Chao nodded, he was still relieved of Jia Xu, as long as there were no major accidents, there was no problem. But Ma Chao didn't say anything to Cui An, because there was no need, and if he wanted to talk about this, there were still unknown things in it.

Originally, when Ma Chao received Jia Xu under the account at the beginning, Ma Chao felt that others might be able to respect Jia Xu, but Cui An, the kid, probably couldn't. The result was as expected, this kid didn't look down on Jia Xu. In fact, it makes sense to think about it, because everyone else is a military general, so even if the martial arts are not as good as him Cui An, Cui An really has nothing to look down on them. But Jia Xu is a pure scribe, and for Cui An, he doesn't have a cold. Because among the literati, Cui An seems to have never served anyone except for his father Cui Hong.

Originally, Ma Chao was about to find an opportunity to talk to Cui An, but before he could say anything, he found that Cui An suddenly changed his attitude towards Jia Xu, as if he had become a little afraid of him. Ma Chao was strange at this time, of course, not only Ma Chao was alone, but others were also very curious, but they didn't know what happened to Lu Dao. And although Ma Chao is curious, he has not inquired about this, after all, he knows that Jia Xu is a person with real skills, and he is a low-key person, if he has no way to deal with Cui An, then he is not called a "poisoner in a chaotic country", and Jia Xu will not publicize how he is, so Ma Chao didn't ask much about it.

As for Cui An, that's not to mention. Although his brain is not very good, he also knows how to save face, and he is a master of good face. Let's take this matter of the previous competition with Lu Bu, he lost to Lu Bu in Xuzhou, but he never mentioned it to others, Ma Chao didn't think he forgot about it, but this kid deliberately didn't say it, because he was embarrassed. Therefore, Cui An has always told people about his "glorious deeds", either stabbing the thief to death, or capturing the enemy leader alive, but he never mentioned that he lost to Lu Bu.

And Ma Chao just laughed at this, but he never exposed him. So he also knew that if he wanted to ask Cui An, it would be even more useless, because this kid has a good face, so Ma Chao didn't ask about it.

Everything that should be said has been said, and everything that should be done has been done, Ma Chao looked at everyone and said to them: "Everyone, Chao is going to go!" ”

Everyone clasped their fists and said in unison: "The state pastoral flag is victorious, and the victory will return as soon as possible!" ”

Ma Chao just smiled at this, and then got on the BMW White Lion, Zhang Fei and they all got on their horses, and the soldiers said goodbye to their relatives and got ready to go, Ma Chao waved his hand to the Liangzhou army, "Brothers, follow me and march into Xiqiang!" ”

In this way, Ma Chao led his troops to Xiqiang. As for him not reporting this matter to Liu Hong, he actually has his own thoughts. It's not that Ma Chao didn't say it, but he was going to come to a prelude first, and at the same time he sent troops, he actually wrote to Liu Hong. As for Liu Hong's thoughts, this is not within the scope of Ma Chao's consideration.

Not to mention that Ma Chao already knew that Liu Hong was already dying, not to mention that he had personally seen Liu Hong in Luoyang. Ma Chao knew very well in his heart that Liu Hong's body could only get worse and worse the further he went, not better. It can be said that even if Bian Que is reincarnated, the gods will be difficult to save. So even Dong Zhuo had disobeyed the holy decree before, not to mention Ma Chao's small actions at this time. Dong Zhuo directly disobeyed the holy decree, and Liu Hong didn't do anything to him. And Ma Chao thinks that he is better than Dong Zhuo, so it is not bad, but he also gave Liu Hong a book, isn't it, so he is actually much more generous than Dong Zhuo.
