"Don't worry, young master, although this cold disaster has made most of the Qiang people take risks and plunder in advance of the Han land. However, if you look at it from a subordinate point of view, it will not necessarily be a catastrophe of the collapse of Fufeng County. Seeing Ma Chao's gloomy face, Meng Da spoke out with relief.

Who knew that after Ma Chao heard these words, not only did his face not improve in the slightest, but his face seemed to be gradually turning blue.

Ma Chao knew that the Qiang nationality was actually just a general title. The living habits of this ethnic group are different from those of the Han people, but they are similar to the way of life of the Xiongnu in the north.

The Qiang people raise cattle, sheep and livestock, and live in pursuit of water and grass. The sons and daughters of the Qiang nationality can be said to have lived on horseback since birth, and their fighting and shooting skills seem to be innate, and the people are all citizens and their whereabouts are uncertain. If it weren't for the inherent shortcomings of the nomads—living in a bitter cold land and not having enough food, which was the harshness that the Qiang people had to face the most—the Qiang might have become a major problem for the Eastern Han regime, just like the Xiongnu in the early Western Han Dynasty.

And now, the development of the Qiang people is no less than that of the Southern Xiongnu. The invasion of the Han Dynasty was also becoming more and more frequent, and even, for the once powerful Xiongnu, the Qiang people also plundered. And the reason why it has not yet dealt a blow to the entire Eastern Han regime is because the Qiang themselves are still in chaos.

Although the Qiang people are a unified ethnic group, they are gradually identified and integrated because of their living habits and activity areas. Strictly speaking, the beliefs worshipped among the Qiang people are different, and their views on some things are even more strange.

Among the Qiang people, it is composed of hundreds of tribes such as the Qiang Qiang, the Po Qiang, the Baima Qiang, the Tsing Yi Qiang, the Yellow Cow Qiang, the Burning He Qiang, the Heishui Qiang, the Hequ Qiang, the Fa Qiang, etc., and the strong tribes can reach more than 50,000 people, and the small tribes even have only a few hundred or thousands of people. Among them, the strength of Poqiang should be a strong tribe among the Qiang people, with about 40,000 people.

In this cold disaster, in addition to seizing the cattle, sheep and livestock of those small tribes, Poqiang hit the head of this stormy Han dynasty. Although the other tribes may be less affected, it is conceivable that in a short period of time, other Qiang tribes will also be like a tidal wave, knocking on the passes, plundering the Han land, and looting food and population, so as to ensure that their tribes can survive this winter safely.

What's more serious is that in about ten years, some Qiang tribes have taken advantage of the chaos in the Eastern Han Dynasty to invade the Liangzhou territory and settle down, and begin to live with the Han people. These Qiang tribes also gradually joined forces with the local wealthy tribes, either demarcating land as boundaries, or raising troops to loot alone, and more, just like the Tieqiang League, became a tool for the Han people with other scheming ambitions.

It is conceivable that when the Qiang tribes who still maintain the Qiang tradition plunder, those Qiang people who have already lived in Liangzhou will definitely stir up their princes and warlords to unite with those plundering tribes to cause chaos in the entire Liangzhou!

When he thought of the two or three hundred thousand people who controlled the strings, like locusts and ant colonies, poured into Liangzhou to kill, burn and loot, Ma Chao felt a pain in his brain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our army has newly acquired Fufeng County, and we are trying to use this as a foundation to pacify Liangzhou. Today's Qiang affairs, how do you think we should deal with it? Ma Chao thought about it for a long time and didn't have a good way, so he finally had to turn on the brainstorming function and work together, maybe he could discuss a solution.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, why be afraid?" The ugly brother was very proud of his domineering and knowledgeable words, but in exchange for Ma Chao's ignorance.

"Young master, the Qiang people are plundering everything, and the target is not necessarily Fufeng County. There are more than 40,000 soldiers under our army who can fight, plus the city is high and the walls are thick......" Han Feng's thoughts are similar to Meng Da's, but Ma Chao doesn't just want to keep Fufeng County.

"Inform the Liangzhou lords as soon as possible, maybe ......," Pang De tried to say, but after only half a sentence, he felt that this method was not feasible.

Only the old fox Jia Xu still has a calm and breezy virtue, making the horse that burns his ass super large. Ma Chao couldn't help but ask angrily: "Since Mr. Jia is already a military advisor of our army, I don't know if there is a good way to break the enemy?" ”

"When the Tieqiang League was in civil strife, Xu remembered that Poqiang had always obeyed Han Sui's command......" Jia Xu said lightly, and after speaking, he seemed to want to take a sip of tea to lose everyone's appetite, but when he raised his eyes and saw Ma Chao's face that was already black and smoking, he continued: "Although Poqiang was seriously affected, the first time he robbed Fufeng County was excusable, but the second time he knew that Fufeng County had been prevented, why did he have to do it again?" ”

"Mr. is saying that Poqiang already knows that the Ma family has seized Fufeng County, and wants to take advantage of this change to come here to fish in troubled waters?" Meng Da was shocked, firstly he regretted that he didn't think of this, and secondly, he was worried about the situation in Fufeng County.

"Yes, the Ma family and Han Sui have split, and the situation has finally attracted many old departments from Han Sui's subordinates, which has already made Han Sui hate him. If the old man's expectation is good, Poqiang will intrude on Fufeng County again this time, and it should be Han Sui's instructions. Jia Xu glanced at Meng Da, there was no special meaning in his eyes, or, at most, he sighed that this young man was quick to think.

"If Poqiang attacks Fufeng County, then Han Sui will also take revenge; If you fail to break through Fufeng, then you have also explored the truth. When the Qiang people attacked, the Qiang people took the lead, and the soldiers still pointed to Fufeng County, so even if they didn't use the alliance, most of the Qiang people would follow the Qiang attack and rob Fufeng. At that time, hundreds of thousands of Qiang soldiers will be in Fufeng County, I am afraid that Sun Wu is alive, and I am afraid that he will not have the power to return to heaven. Ma Chao said these words word by word, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Han Sui old thief, this plan is really very vicious, he wants to kill the Ma family without spending a single soldier, and he really deserves the nickname of 'Yellow River Nine Songs'!" ”

Ma Chao took a deep look at Jia Xu, and when he was angry, he also felt a little lucky: If it weren't for the fact that this old fox arrived in Fufeng, I'm afraid I don't know how he died!

"Huh? This old thief really deserves to be punished!" The ugly brother suddenly understood the situation of the army, and was deeply jealous of Han Sui's scheming and the city government: "Young master, why don't we take advantage of the Qiang tribe's attack on Fufeng County before we can preemptively attack Jincheng ......"

Ma Chao glanced at the ugly brother very depressed: This ugly brother has something that is difficult for others to achieve in terms of ruthlessness and quick intelligence, but if you want to talk about military strategy, it is really a little unproductive...... Perhaps, this morning to create the special combat team in his heart, so that the ugly brother's talents can be brought into play this morning, so that it is not a tyrannical thing.

However, for the time being, let's still think about how to get through this difficulty.

Even if Ma Chao saw through his poisonous plan at this time, there was no way to deal with it: hundreds of thousands of Qiang soldiers were coming to the city, and the Ma family was far away from reinforcements, and there was no retreat from the enemy's heroic division. Could it really be that you can only forcibly conscript the people of Fufeng into the army and fight to the death with the Qiang army?

So even if they can repel this Qiang army, how much strength is left to deal with Han Sui's next poisonous plan? Not to mention that in the future, they want to monopolize Liangzhou and dominate the world......

It seems that my own ideas are still too simple, thinking that after reading some historical materials, I can really be like the protagonists of those alternate historical novels, grasp the sore feet of history in the surging situation, and become the rolling wheel that changes history in one fell swoop......

!

Totally!

Now the plan, Ma Chao thought of the only way to let himself give up Fufeng County, seek a gap space in the land of Liangzhou, and after the Qiang army retreated, kill the horse pistol, and make great efforts, swear revenge, and then go to Han Sui to avenge this arrow.

Is it possible?

Think about the poor big-eared thief, who drifted for most of his life, and finally relied on the base of Xinye to seize the business opportunity of the Red Cliff War and rise in one fell swoop. If you want to be like a big-eared thief, I'm afraid you can only fight a guerrilla war for the rest of your life.

Besides, he was crippled by Han Sui for the first time, how can he have the confidence to dare to fight others in the future?

It's hard, it's hard!

I don't know the suffering of crossing without crossing.

But those great gods who have crossed over, which one didn't come here with an immortal body and the halo of the protagonist to wake up to the power of the world, and play on the knees of drunken beauties?

Why is it so difficult to get here?
