"Chief, are you just letting these Han soldiers leave here? In addition, the city of Caohan has already been breached once, and if we attack now, we will definitely be able to break through it. "On a high slope outside the city, a pair of cavalrymen dressed as Qiang people appeared, and one of the young men asked for instructions from the leader.

"Miscellaneous soldiers? Hum! Not bad! You can see the clothes of those soldiers, it is indeed a mess, but do you see the formation of this pair of men and horses when they march? Scattered and orderly, slow but not chaotic, obviously there has not been a horse team of our Qiang people around, but those generals and soldiers have been careful and vigilant. Don't you see any of this?

What's more, if you look at the miscellaneous soldiers you are talking about, they are all shrunk inside the carts, and the carts are all outside. It is clear that it is ready to block the cavalry attack with carts at any time. Also, look at those big cars, evacuate the capital, what do you think are in there? The leader of the Qiang tribe did not look back, kept looking at the convoy of Jin Jue's army that was loose on the surface and strict inside, snorted angrily, and asked angrily.

"Ugh! Probably most of it is grain! But, chief, I don't think that these people will only take some food from the city. The young man, who was called Wai Lidu, replied unconvinced.

"Humph! Again, you think that our Qiang people are not short of food. However, since last year, Sanfu has been hit by disasters, and people have fled in all directions, and now there is still a great shortage of food everywhere. But anyone who has a little insight knows that at this time, food is worth more than anything, and even more important than life. Do you think that the people who can break through the city of Caohan without much effort will not know this?

Wait a minute, they're far away, and you'll know for yourself the ruts of those carts. For some food, we went to fight with them, and looked at their position, even if they won, the casualties will not be small. What's more, have you forgotten the master you saw before who repeatedly succeeded in sneak attacks on the head of Caohan City? Once we can't win quickly, that master will definitely take the opportunity to touch you and me, are you confident that you can catch his sword?

Speaking of Caohan City, I also know that it is almost undefended now, but there is already news from the front that Ma Dai is about to arrive. I'm not afraid of a yellow-mouthed son, but Ma Teng has just taken Hanyang County lightly, if he knows that I have taken away Caohan City in front of him, what will he do? The leader was really angry this time, and he gave the retreat a whip and asked.

He stretched out his arm to block his face, took the whip hard, did not move on the horse, and asked in surprise: "Why did that kid Ma Dai come back so quickly, shouldn't he go to Hanyang County to move more troops and come back?" ”

However, his inner breath trembled, because the sneak attack master that the leader had just mentioned was really terrifying. The man had already attacked the walls of the city ten times, and all of them had retreated. It can be said that the city of Caohan was breached, and Bao Chu accounted for half of the credit.

It is no wonder that this leader of the Qiang tribe is indifferent to Jin Jue's convoy, and it is indeed not worth sacrificing the warriors of the tribe for the sake of food, not to mention, he has to bear the risk of being attacked by the masters.

"So, you're still a little worse than Ma Dai. Now the kid who led people away deceived Ma Dai with a trick and took the city of Caohan, Ma Dai is likely to be on the road The more he thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes, so he came back with the thousand cavalry to see the situation. The leader guessed.

Retreat muttered quietly: "No matter how good he is, he is still deceived by others." ”

The Ma Dai army was besieged in the city, and when the city was besieged, the leader of the largest Qiang tribe near the city of Caohan kept sending people to inquire about the news. Therefore, they knew very well the entire siege and the breach. Although they still don't know Jin Jue's true identity, they are jealous of Jin Jue, who has only appeared a few times in the Ma Dai army.

A small but sturdy city, with enough troops, has been operated by Song Jian's house for a full eleven years, although there are masters to help, but in the whole process, the casualties of this miscellaneous army brought by Ma Dai and Cheng Lian, in total, did not exceed thirty people.

Such a scheme is really terrifying.

The leader of the Qiang tribe said that he was afraid of the hidden master, but in fact, he was afraid of Jin Jue in his heart.

He now hopes that this army will leave the Longxi territory as soon as possible. If Ma Dai or Ma Teng came, these two people would occupy Caohan County at most. The entire other counties of Longxi County will still be controlled by various Qiang tribes.

Ma Teng relied on the Qiang people to rise to power, and he would not offend the entire Qiang people for this matter. What's more, the leader also knew that after Ma Teng won Hanyang County, he would focus on capturing the land of Sanfu.

The five warlords of Xiliang joined forces to prepare for the division of Liangzhou and Sanfu, and they must not be able to hide the Qiang people, because not only Ma Teng and Han Sui are all Qiang people standing behind them, but the other three princes are more or less related to these foreign tribes in Liangzhou.

Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang and Di tribes have moved eastward, and a large area of fertile land on the left side of the Yellow River belongs to the two tribes. Otherwise, Song Jian was able to accumulate millions of grains in one county, and the grain was not gold, silver and copper coins, and it could be preserved for three years at most in the case of imperfect grain storage in ancient times.

After this period, it is impossible to eat at all.

As the leader said, fighting to the death with these ragtag armies for a batch of food is really more than worth the loss.

Back to Ma Dai, originally, he brought a thousand cavalry to follow Jin Jue to Caohan, and he didn't plan to really capture the city, but Bao Zhu's first sneak attack almost broke the city.

However, next, Jin Jue, who had repeatedly made strange plans, actually wilted again.

After Ma Dai parted ways with Jin Jue, the more he thought about it halfway, the more he felt that it was wrong, it was clear that if he used his strength in Caohan City, he would be able to break through, but that kid was not tempted at all?

Knowing that early in the morning of the third day after the two separated, Ma Dai thought of a possibility, in case the kid had soldiers and horses in his own hands, or someone sent by other forces, then, after he left, wouldn't the kid take people to pick up ready-made.

So, Ma Dai sent fast horses to Anding County and Hanyang County to deliver letters to his uncle asking for reinforcements, while he himself led the remaining cavalry to hurry towards the city of Caohan.

If his reaction had been sluggish for a day, no, half a day, the Qiang leader would have ordered someone to attack the city immediately.

……

"Report! Childe, the two generals, Ma Dai led his 1,000 cavalry back again, and in another hour, Ma Dai's army would rush to the city of Caohan. A scout horse quickly informed Jin Jue, Cheng Lian and Li Feng of the news that Ma Daijun suddenly appeared in the territory of Caohan County.

"Humph! Got it, go down and rest! General Cheng, General Li, you take a hundred cavalry and greet this horse brother in the back! When Jin Jue heard this, he nodded and immediately ordered.

"Childe, when Ma Dai arrives in Caohan City, the people in the city will definitely open the city and surrender immediately if they know that it is him. Shouldn't he have accepted the city of Sohan immediately? How could he immediately lead an army to chase after him? Cheng Lian asked puzzled.

It's not that he doesn't want to listen to Jin Jue's orders, but he really can't figure out how Gongzi judges, and that Ma Dai will be like this unless he is dizzy.

"Hehehe, General Cheng, I just want to ask you, if you are Ma Dai and are played around by a fifteen-year-old child of mine, what will you do after you learn about it?"

"Hmph, of course it's chasing ......" Cheng Lian immediately replied when he heard it, but as soon as he said the word 'chase', he immediately came to his senses.

He was like that himself, not to mention the other generals.

Of course, Ma Dai knew the priority of the matter, he would definitely leave a large number of cavalry to defend the city, and he himself would personally lead a hundred or so cavalry to catch up, not to kill Jin Jue, or to ask why?

was tricked by a secondary school boy, you have to ask why, right?

Sure enough, Cheng Lian and Li Feng waited behind with a hundred cavalry improvised from the old Yellow Turban Army, and it didn't take long for Ma Dai to be ushered in.
