Chapter 261: The Qiang envoy arrives at the Han camp
This time, Ma Chao soldiers Xiqiang sent troops under the banner of burning Dangqiang and following Han Sui and their rebellion against the imperial court. As for Ma Chao, in fact, it is just a matter of being famous, as for whether anyone in Dangqiang has participated in Han Sui's rebels, and if so, how many people there are, these are not things he has to consider.
And the only thing he has to do is just to find an excuse to send troops, so that others will know the way, even if everyone in the world knows that what he Ma Chao said is false, but no one will refute him, and that is enough.
And Ma Chao can be said to be very clear this time, that is, he has already named and said that he is going to deal with Burning Dangqiang, so don't look at Ma Chao and the army are walking on a relatively remote road, yes, but everyone actually knows the Tao of Lu, and Burning Dangqiang is definitely the news of Ma Chao's soldiers for a long time. And the site of Burning Dangqiang is coincidentally next to Jincheng in Liangzhou, so maybe they will do something.
Sure enough, after Zhang Xiu and they left in the evening, the time turned to the morning of the second day, and the Liangzhou army, which had not yet started, had already ushered in an uninvited guest at this time.
"Yuzhou Mu, there is a burning Qiang envoy outside the camp to ask to see!"
Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, "Let him come in, I'm about to meet them for a while!" ”
"No!"
After the soldier agreed, he just wanted to pay the account, but he was stopped by Ma Chao again, "Wait! Come here! ”
"State Shepherd!" The soldier stepped forward, then clenched his fists and said.
Ma Chao nodded, and then said to this person: "This matter must not be revealed for the time being, especially not to be known by General Li, do you understand?" ”
"No! The little one understands, please rest assured that this matter is the state pastor!! ”
When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly expressed his attitude, he also knew a little bit of gossip in the army, and heard that it seemed that the eighteen generals Li and Dangqiang had some deep hatred, so the lord deliberately avenged them this time!
"Okay, you go down, just let people in!" As he spoke, Ma Chao waved his hand to the soldiers.
"No! Small retirement! The soldier hurried out of the big tent.
After a while, I saw a Qiang man walk into the big tent, and after seeing that there was only Ma Chao in the tent, he hurriedly saluted: "Dare to ask Your Excellency who is the Liangzhou Muma Chao Ma Mengqi of the Han Dynasty?" ”
Ma Chao nodded slightly, "Yes, exactly!" But I don't know who you are? ”
"In the next is a nobody under the account of the leader of Qiang Miji, and the state pastor is not enough to worry about!!"
Since the other party didn't say it, Ma Chao is actually not interested in getting to the bottom of it, but seeing that the other party speaks Chinese well and can also say some idioms, it seems that although the other party is a Qiang person, he still knows a little about the culture of the Han people.
"I don't know what your leader sent you here for?"
Ma Chao just got straight to the point at this time, and there was nothing to beat around the bush anyway. Rather than delaying time like that, it's better to be straightforward. Besides, the other party is a Qiang person, so it should be much more bold than the Han people. And generally speaking, there are really not as many curves as the Han people.
"The state pastor should know that the leader is sending down, if you Han people say it, it is nothing more than to be a lobbyist!"
The other party said it very easily, and he didn't see anything abnormal or scared.
"Oh? Do you think this really works? ”
The other party slowly shook his head and said, "I think it's useless in Xia, but the leader has been sent, so I naturally can't help but come!" ”
Looking at the other party's meaning, it seems that he is extremely reluctant to come. Ma Chao doesn't know whether it's true or not, and now he can only wait and see what the other party has to say. But Ma Chao said in his heart, this person looks a little interesting. It seems that it has nothing to do with him at all, so is he not burned as if he was not burned? Or, it won't.
"Okay, I already know Your Excellency's intentions, if Your Excellency is so, then please go back, and Your Excellency should also know that this matter has reached the point of irreconcilability, so don't say that your leader only sent Your Excellency to come, even if you send hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand, it is useless!!"
Ma Chao said these words very firmly, he had actually made up his mind a long time ago, and it was naturally impossible to change. Besides, anyone who really knows him knows that if Ma Chao really determines something, then basically he can't change it, unless something really happens, or a miracle happens, maybe it's a little possible. But in general, it's not a possibility.
After the other party listened to Ma Chao's words, he didn't refute anything at the first time, as if just like Ma Chao thought, the other party really looked like he didn't care about himself. So Ma Chao felt that this person seemed to be a little interesting, and at this moment, the other party finally spoke again.
"The state pastor, the leader sent down, in fact, it is nothing more than to persuade the state pastor, but I also know that this is impossible. However, since the leader is sent to the next once, then the next must still bring the words that the leader entrusted to the state pastor, as for the result, it is not up to the next to control! ”
Ma Chao nodded, "In this case, you can just say it, I can listen to it!" ”
"No! What the leader said to the next is also to let the next help convey that the state pastor is now leading troops to deal with me burning Dangqiang, which is nothing more than to avenge his subordinates, but if the state pastor can give up this matter, then I will burn Dangqiang will give the state pastor 10,000 sheep and 1,000 horses to work for the army, and the state pastor will be the most honored guest of my burning Dangqiang in the future. But if the state pastor really disagrees, then we Qiang people are not easy to bully, so we must let you have no return!! ”
After hearing this, Ma Chao looked up to the sky and smiled, "This is what your so-called leader entrusted you to relay?" ”
"Exactly, it was conveyed to the state pastor word for word!!"
"Well, then in that case, your Excellency should have said everything you have said, and you should have done everything you should do, and there is no need to say anything more. Since I know that it is impossible for me to agree to this, so Your Excellency should please go back, and next time I see you, it will be an enemy! In fact, the latter sentence of your leader is in line with my character, I want my army to come and go, hum, I have to see if you have such a great ability to burn Dangqiang!! ”
"Please!"
Ma Chao has clearly sent off the guests, although the Qiang envoy also knows that the Han people "fight each other, do not cut the envoy", but I didn't expect that Ma Chao Mengqi, who is a pastor in Liangzhou, is so rude, because the Han people are still known as people who understand reason and etiquette, but Ma Chao Ma Mengqi is like this.
However, this person also knows that Lu Dao, seeing Ma Chao like this at this time, he also knows that it is useless to say anything at this time, anyway, his leader has already brought the word to him, so his task has actually been completed, as for the rest, it is still slow, it doesn't mean that there must be no good time, right.
"So, take your leave!"
"Walk slowly, don't send it!" Ma Chao said lightly.
The messenger left, but Ma Chao felt that the messenger who burned Dangqiang looked at himself before leaving the big tent seemed to contain deep meaning, Ma Chao didn't think he was wrong, it was definitely so, but he just didn't know what the other party's intentions were. However, Ma Chao didn't pay too much attention to this, after all, it was the first time he had seen this messenger who burned Dangqiang, and he didn't even know what the other party's name was, so what else could he say.
Just as the messenger of Dangqiang had just left the big tent, Zhang Fei entered the big tent, and after entering the tent, he said to Ma Chao: "Lord, is it the Qiang who left the camp just now?" ”
As soon as Ma Chao saw that it was Zhang Fei, his heart was relieved, fortunately it was not Li Wei, of course, Ma Chao smiled in his heart when he thought of this, if it was really Li Wei, let alone enter the big tent at this time to talk to himself, it is estimated that as long as he saw the messenger of Burning Dangqiang, he would have to take out a knife and split the other party. Although Ma Chao doesn't think that Li Wei will definitely be like this, the probability of doing this is actually half and half.
"What Yide said is good, it is the messenger of Burning Dangqiang!"
"I'm here to be a lobbyist to get the lord to retire!"
Ma Chao nodded, "That's true, but I sent it away!" ”
Zhang Fei shook his head, "The lord is sending him away, Fei is obviously protecting him, if he is really seen by Li Wei's crazy people, tsk, it will be really interesting!" ”
Ma Chao can see from Zhang Fei's eyes that this master is afraid that the world will not be chaotic at this time, of course, it is just a joke, Zhang Fei is actually still a person who loves jokes.
As for saying that he called Li a madman for them, it was not without reason. First, after Zhang Fei first learned about Li Wei's deeds, in addition to deep sympathy, he was also shocked by the seventeen people who cut off their tongues, and then heard about the deeds of the eighteen sons in Yumen Pass, Zhang Fei also had to think that the eighteen people were a group of crazy people.
And what made him think they were crazy the most was because of the reason for sparring with them. Originally, every military general who joined Ma Chao's account was to learn from the old man, and there was no other meaning, but it was just to meet friends with martial arts, and everyone would increase their understanding of each other. As a result, Zhang Fei picked eighteen sons, he thought that these eighteen were "easy to bully", but the result can be imagined. To say that the eighteen sons have made great progress in martial arts over the years, each of them has reached the second-rate level.
However, the second-rate upper level does not mean that all of them are exactly the same, and there are naturally differences between them, such as the eighteen sons, their martial arts are only in the middle and lower reaches of the second-rate upper level, but they can't stand the many people, so people who don't know the way may really suffer a big loss.
Take Zhang Fei as an example, if you take out one of the eighteen sons, they are not Zhang Fei's opponents, but if you want to have five or six, six or seven, or even more together, then let alone him Zhang Fei, even if it is Lu Bu. Maybe Xiang Yu can do it in his second life, but what kind of person is Xiang Yu, there has been such a person in thousands of years, it is not a character who can be had.
"Yide prepare, the army will set off soon, let the whole army be on guard!"
"No!"
Although he was about to reach his destination, Ma Chaozhi said that the more he arrived at this time, the more careful he had to be, because the farther west he went, the farther away he was from Liangzhou, and the Qiang people would not be Liangzhou's territory, so it would definitely not work if he was not careful.
