Cheongha-gun, Tobu Castle.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound of a bell at the door of the Chinese military tent in the Ma family camp, and the captains and young generals waiting in the tent stood solemnly together, welcoming Hao Zhaogong into the official hall from the outside.

Hao Zhao also looks like he is dressed up today, wearing a crimson military attache court uniform, with a high crown with left and right feathers. He walked in with a tiger, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and he looked more and more mighty and extraordinary, and the young man was ambitious. It's just that at this moment, his face is gloomy, his eyebrows and feet are constantly jumping, and he is obviously extremely angry.

Seeing this situation, the lieutenants and young generals on both sides looked at each other. And Hao Zhao didn't speak, walked quickly through the hall, and walked directly into the back house without saying a word.

As soon as Hao Zhao left, everyone couldn't hold back anymore, and they all opened their mouths and lowered their heads and ears. They knew that today Hao Zhao went to find the vanguard leaders of the Qiang army and discussed the matter of the army entering the Xiongnu rebels together. As things stand, it seems that the deliberations did not yield the expected results.

Since Pang De's pursuit of Cao Cao's rout was captured by a ruse, the southernmost and most powerful part of the Ma family fell into a situation of fragmentation. According to the military regulations of the Ma family, Shangguan was captured and immediately commanded by the lower officials, although Hao Zhao was a general summoned by Ma Chao unintentionally, but he followed Pang De all the way to conquer and kill, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats. There are even occasional clever contributions, and the style of the general has been faintly displayed. Their official positions and positions were also promoted one level at a time in the clear evaluation, so when Hao Zhao resolutely announced that he would temporarily lead the southern army on behalf of General Pang, all the soldiers of the Ma family had no objections.

However, although this southern army has more than 100,000 people, its composition is also the most complicated. Pang De and the Ma family of the headquarters were soldiers of Chang'an County, with only 10,000 people; And the extraterritorial mercenaries numbered 30,000. Fortunately, these mercenaries took money to sell their lives, and the Ma family's remuneration was also paid in advance, so there were not many objections to the Ma family army led by Hao Zhao.

However, with the exception of Chang'an soldiers and extraterritorial mercenaries. There were two cavalry units left, but they were Qiang soldiers and Hun soldiers. These two troops have some grudges against the Han officers and soldiers, and Ma Chao has long expected this, so he arranged for his first confidant general to lead with him in the battles outside the Saiwai. And now that Pang De has been captured, Hao Zhao's prestige is not at all enough to subdue the two clans, so the Qiang tribe is gradually disobedient to the rule.

What's even worse is that some time ago, the Huns suddenly rebelled. Hao Zhao didn't know where the rumors came from, but it was as if the guys who created the rumors had come up with solid evidence and instigated their turmoil. In the night of the same day, the Xiongnu Xun cavalry rushed into the Qiang camp to burn and loot, although Hao Zhao suppressed it in time, and united with 70,000 Qiang athletes to drive 30,000 Xiongnu Xun cavalry out of the Ma family camp. But the rebellion for no reason made the 70,000 Qiang tribes more or less have a bit of a problem with Hao Zhao, and now even the camp tents are set up separately.

30,000 Huns fled into Qinghe County to plunder everywhere, and Hao Zhao, as the first commander of the southern army, naturally had the responsibility to suppress the rebellion. Yesterday, the military detectives finally found the whereabouts of this army, and Hao Zhao personally entered the Qiang village this morning, wanting to unite with the Qiang army to encircle and suppress them. However, before the sun set, Hao Zhao came back with a black face......

At this time, when everyone under the tent was speculating whether the encirclement and suppression would go as planned, the sound of footsteps sounded again from the direction of the back house, which was actually mixed with the crisp metal sound of the nail leaf shaking. Hao Zhao reappeared this time, but at this moment, his outfit changed greatly, and he could see that the hearts of all the generals under the tent were all in a daze: the plain white battle robe was tightly wrapped in heavy iron armor, and his hair was scattered, and he didn't even have time to wear a helmet. He held a stainless steel broadsword upside down in his right hand, and a leopard-print iron helmet in his left hand, and the cold murderous aura continued to radiate from him, and the temperature in the big tent seemed to drop a lot for a while.

Hao Zhao sat down after coming to the desk, put the helmet on the desk with his left hand, and smashed the steel knife with his right hand, and the bluestone on the ground shattered!

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are waiting for the Ma family, so we naturally want to be loyal to the Ma family. Now the Xiongnu slaughtered the people under their rule, and the flow became a disaster. I want to fight for it today, can you wait for someone to follow?! ”

After the words fell, everyone also knew what Hao Zhao was thinking. At that moment, everyone took a step forward and knelt down together: "I am willing to kill the enemy with the general and serve the lord!" ”

"Good!" Seeing this, Hao Zhao's gloomy feelings were also relieved a lot, and he was about to give an order to make a plan, but he saw a scout hurriedly running into the account.

"Report, General, something is wrong!"

"Presumptuous, in the tent of the Chinese army, how can you talk nonsense?!" Hao Zhao was furious, now he has a lot of experience in dealing with this.

It's a pity that this scout is just a scout, seeing Hao Zhao angry, he thought that Hao Zhao was blaming him for not telling the truth, and quickly said again: "General, our army Dazhai is surrounded by 70,000 Qiang troops!" ”

"What?!" Hao Zhao was most afraid of this kind of betrayal and separation, and for a while, his spirit was a little trance: "This is impossible, even if the Qiang army has a misunderstanding of our army." But they have no reason to rebel against the Ma family, and the lord ....... with them."

"Yes, give them ten dares, and they don't dare to rebel against the Ma family!" A loud and powerful voice came from outside the tent, and Hao Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up: This voice is very familiar to him, it is the voice of General Pound!

Hao Zhao's feelings for Pound De are extraordinary, since he was dug up by Ma Chao, Hao Zhao has been serving under Pound, from a personal soldier to the current Yamen general, completely relying on Pound's spare no effort to promote. And Hao Zhao, who is only in his twenties and alone, treats the brave and calm general, and has a feeling of being both a master and a father.

In Hao Zhao's eyes, Pang De is a high mountain that will never get tired or fall. But that terrible morning, the mountain fell, the sky fell, Hao Zhao found out that after losing Pound, he was tired and worried!

Although during Pound's absence, Hao Zhao has grown to the maximum. But if he could, he would never want to take on such a responsibility. He just wanted to kill the enemy with all his worries under Pound's account, and occasionally contribute his own whimsical ideas, which would then be implemented by Pound after making up for the omissions. Then, expecting victory, and listening to Pound proudly boast before the armies.

"General!" All the pretense of Hao Zhao's previous fortitude turned into foam in front of Pound's majestic and confident voice, and he rushed directly through the desk, his eyes fixed on the tent door.

Sure enough, Pound's burly figure appeared. To Hao Zhao's surprise, Pound did not have much decadence and emaciation at all. On the contrary, there are some rounded curvatures on the sides of the cheeks, and the whole body looks much more energetic.

"Don't worry, those rabbit cubs don't dare to rebel against the Ma family. They came this time to send troops with us to exterminate those Hun dogs. As he spoke, Pang De picked up Hao Zhao, who was kneeling in front of him, sighed for a while, and patted Hao Zhao's shoulder with his rough hand: "During my absence, you have worked hard." ”

As soon as this sentence fell, Hao Zhao only felt that his nose was sour. But in the Chinese military tent, he couldn't make such a childish attitude, so he had to change the topic and said: "How did the general persuade these Qiang barbarians, when I entered the village to negotiate this morning, those people asked me to explain why the Xiongnu Xunqi rebelled. The subordinates believe that although they have a grudge against the Xiongnu, for us, after all, the people outside the Saiwai have a ....... heart."

"You're right, but this kind of thing, you can't explain it at all." Pang De strode to the front of the tent, but he did not sit on the throne, but stood sideways to the left of the general: "These barbarians only recognize strength, and whoever has a big fist is justified." You run to explain ten sentences to them, it is better to take down ten of them with one punch. ”

Pang De's words obviously misunderstood Hao Zhao and the generals in the tent, looking at the reverent eyes of Hao Zhao and the others, Pang De hurriedly saved: "I don't have this prestige, if I go to the Qiang village to make a fuss, these wolf cubs can at most maintain neutrality with our Ma family, but it is impossible to run around to curry favor." ”

Looking at the world, there is only one Han who can make the Saiwai Qiang people lower their stature and grovel so much. Hao Zhao looked at Pang De's position and tone in his words, and asked in disbelief: "Could it be that the lord came in person......

Before the words fell, a splendid robe flew into the Chinese military tent. Ma Chaozhi walked proudly, his clothes fluttered, the big sword and golden horse walked to the right position, raised his arm and said something that made all the generals almost cry: "Today, it is the last battle for us, after the Hun rebellion is suppressed, we ....... go home!" ”
