The Murwei Wuluo Guard Department is more than 2,000 miles away from Fanyang, the caravan has been stopped for more than two months, and it takes twenty days to speed up the horse, and it is basically impossible for a person to return to Fanyang, Zhen Thirty-three is naturally not worried that the secrets of his people will be discovered by Ma Sui.

"Immediately follow Ma Lang's method, measure the distance of the projectile, move our fierce fire oil to the top of the mountain, complete it before four o'clock in the afternoon, let Ah Xiong lead the cavalry to ambush behind Nianzi Mountain, and launch an attack after three watches!"

Everyone took the order and left, Ma Sui stood in Zhen Thirty-three and said: "What do you want to do in the Wuluo Protectorate, this is the Tang Dynasty's Detention Prefecture, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Pinglu Domain, and this will provoke a tribal war, what good will it do you?" ”

Zhen Thirty-three watched his subordinates tie the thick cow tendon between two pines and cypresses, put the stones of equal weight into the leather pocket, adjusted the strength and projectile angle, and a stone took off into the air and took off to the col below the mountain, and said dissatisfied: "Calculate the landing point and time, don't tighten the cow tendon too tightly, and don't choose the kind that is too thin for the pine and cypress, consider the influence of the temperature difference between morning and evening on the landing point of the projectile, and move quickly ......!" ”

"Do you have ulterior motives?" Ma Sui did not relent.

Zhen Thirty-three ignored Ma Sui, who was chattering, but lowered his head and continued to inspect the fierce fire oil, as if Ma Sui did not exist.

"Judging from your equipment and these fierce fire oils, you should be the army of the Tang Dynasty, why do you want to do this, what is the benefit to you?"

Before the Tang Dynasty, martial artists were not synonymous with vulgarity and brutality, and many surging and passionate poems made scholars have endless dreams of making meritorious contributions, Ma Sui is one of them, but it is by no means the last.

Zhen Thirty-three patted Ma Sui on the shoulder and said, "Do you feel that we are doing this wrongly!" ”

Ma Sui wanted to say that this was an act of provoking a war, but before he could speak, Zhen Thirty-three laughed, laughing unscrupulously, laughing so much that Ma Sui gritted his teeth and laughed so much that tears flowed out, "Detention is a big joke, throughout the ages, the Central Plains to the north is a strategy of playing a stick and stuffing a date, as long as the Hu people surrender to the Central Plains Dynasty, they think that the world is peaceful, and they sneer at the wild land, and they have no intention of occupying it at all, and the geographical territory since the Qin and Han dynasties has not changed much until now, The Han people no longer have any ambition to expand the land, believing that the land of Kyushu under heaven is enough to support the Han people, and what they used to do was only a declaration of force......".

"During the Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu returned to the Han Dynasty and placed it in the Hetao land with abundant water and grass, and after the Hu people recuperated, they would take the opportunity to enter whenever the Central Plains was disrupted. The princess and her relatives are just hiding their ears and stealing bells, how many Han women have the Turks married, and in the end they have not often invaded the Central Plains Dynasty, and then look at Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng into Tibet, now the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty is Tufan, raising tigers and keeping their mouths shut, and they are embarrassed to say that they are in the state. When that day comes when these Hu people are strong enough to slash at the necks of Han people, do you still think Huairou is a good strategy? ”

"You thought all of these things for yourself?" Ma Sui looked at Zhen Thirty-three suspiciously, there were many meanings mixed in the words just now, especially the imperial court's policy towards the Western Regions and the Hu people, which is not at all a thought that ordinary people should have, these words can be regarded as slandering the government and government, and it is okay to lose your head and raid your home.

In the past few days with Zhen Thirty-three, Ma Sui can see that this caravan is ostensibly led by Zhen Er, but in fact, many things are manipulated and commanded by Zhen Thirty-three behind the scenes.

Ma Sui has seen many caravans coming and going in the Northeast, and these caravans have one thing in common, they all have good force, which is also a means for caravans to protect themselves. But this caravan is obviously different from other caravans, their goal is not money, and what they like to do everywhere is to communicate with the locals and inquire about the relationship between the tribes, which is more like the work ......of the imperial court spies.

Everyone in the caravan was very tight, and Ma Sui couldn't see the identity and origin of the other party at all, so he regarded Zhen Thirty-three and others as soldiers and secret spies.

"It doesn't matter who thinks about it, the question is whether I'm right or not!" Zhen Thirty-three asked rhetorically.

"What you said seems to make sense, but what is the benefit of you doing this to the Tang Dynasty, is it to provoke a war between tribes and weaken their strength?"

Zhen Thirty-three smiled and said: "You can think so, you have also seen these days, the truth on the grassland is whose fist is big, they will not talk nonsense to others, benevolence and morality, as long as we show a trace of weakness, they will be eaten by them and there will be no bones left, only if they are beaten and scared, they will listen to what we say......."

This experience on the grassland is very touching to Ma Sui, there is no reason here, there will be no war on the grassland because of a woman, but for a cow, the shepherds will talk with knives and fists, and the tribes will fight for a warm winter camp, and a fight is inevitable.

Ma Sui felt more and more that this caravan was more like a well-trained army, from surveying the terrain to concealing the army, every link was done very standardly, and the Tang Army's combat mode was almost exactly the same, if they were replaced with the decoration of the Tang Army, no one would not treat them as a caravan.

"One hundred and eighty steps from the target, launch!"

A stone rose from its leather pocket and flew into the clearing below the mountain, and after two adjustments, it had hit the target under the mountain.

"The Mughure is still twenty miles away from here, and in two hours it will reach the foot of the Nianzi Mountain!"

"Everyone evacuate, clear the clearing under the mountain, pay attention to hiding, and don't make any noise!"

Ma Sui saw a group of people at the bottom of the mountain collecting the thrown stones and smoothing out the traces on the residual snow with leaves, and then quietly withdrew from the clearing below the mountain, as if everything had never happened.

Zhen Thirty-three dug many snow caves on the mountain, and the snow caves were very warm, as long as they were not observed from close range, no matter from what direction, no one on the top of the mountain had ever appeared.

"What are you going to do next to destroy this group of Mughuls, to blame others, or are you going to leave?"

Ma Sui leaned against the wall of the snow cave and looked at Zhen Thirty-three who closed his eyes and said: "The people of Murowei are a group of wild men, wearing old sheepskins, and holding shoddy weapons in their hands, not even steel arrowheads, what do you want from them?" Fur, horses or cattle and sheep? You shouldn't have come all the way here to snatch something from the savages! ”

"What's the most precious thing in the world, you know?"

Zhen Thirty-three took out his skin and took a sip, threw it to Ma Sui and said: "You have figured this question out, you know our purpose, now take a sip of wine, hurry up and rest, we have to wait here until the third watch, I don't want to wait until the evening to find that you have turned into a frozen corpse!" ”
