Tianshui Taishou Mansion, which is also Ma Teng's General's Mansion, is located in the west of Xiliang City.

Compared with other Taishou General's Mansions, Ma Teng's General's Mansion is not large, covering an area of about 100 acres. Standing on a high platform, you can have an unobstructed view of the General's Palace.

Lu Rui was standing on an inn not far from the Taishou Mansion to observe the Tianshui Taishou Mansion.

"Brother Rui, Ma Teng's Taishou Mansion is really small, where is this General's Mansion, it is not as big as a separate courtyard of the Cao family." Cao Zhang not only suspected when he saw Ma Teng's General's Mansion, but also whether this was the General's Mansion or not.

"Ziwen, Xiliang doesn't need Xu Du, such a mansion is big, and Ma Teng is simple, this is also Ma Teng's way to win the hearts of the Qiang people, you have to study hard." Lu Rui shook his head, when Cao Zhang began to be sensible, the Cao family was already on the right track, how could he understand this.

In history, Ma Chao and Han Sui were able to rebel many times in Xiliang, the main reason was that they won the hearts of the Qiang people. This was rare in the era when luxury prevailed at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Brother Rui, what is there to learn here? A dignified general's mansion is actually made of wooden materials, if Xudu's Sikong Mansion is like this, a fire will burn down. ”

"Ziwen, this is where we can learn, there can't be too many wooden materials for building mansions in the future."

"Brother Rui means to attack with fire?"

"Yes, since Ma's mansion is so distinctive, let's not let go of this good opportunity, you go and prepare fire oil immediately, and when the time comes, we will burn down Ma's mansion."

"Yes, Brother Rui!"

Inside the palace of General Marten. Ma Teng's daughter, Ma Yunlu, was accompanying Ma Teng's wife in the room.

"Yunlu. Why are you so restless. A girl's family, still holding a sword, learns needlework when she has time, otherwise how will she marry in the future? Mrs. Ma looked at her daughter, and she had a headache, a girl is dancing with a knife and a gun, how can she go to her in-law's house when the time comes?

"Mother, when did you become so annoying? Mother. You are still a Qiang person, which Qiang woman is not like this, mother, you have been in the water for a long time, you have been influenced by the Han people, and your daughter is still so restricted, mother, are you a Qiang person? Ma Yunlu looked at Mrs. Ma unhappily.

"Yunlu, presumptuous, you are too presumptuous. Is there anyone who talks to his mother like this? "Mrs. Ma is angry, this daughter is really difficult to teach.

Although Mrs. Ma is a Qiang person. However, after living in Tianshui for a long time and being greatly influenced by the Han people, Mrs. Ma knew that the production and lifestyle of the Qiang people would definitely make the Qiang people rich and strong. Only by learning Sinicization can you gain a foothold in the Han Dynasty.

Although his husband and children are half of the Han people, they tend to be Qiang, although the Ma family has a high prestige in the Qiang people, but this is only temporary, to dominate Xiliang or accept the sinicization, but their husband and children do not understand, it is really sad to die.

"Mother, I'll go to the backyard to find those yellow turban wrestlers to practice martial arts, and my daughter will say goodbye!" Ma Yunlu made a ghost look at Mrs. Ma and ran out.

"Alas!" Seeing her daughter's appearance, Mrs. Ma shook her head, if this continues, there will be no hope for the Ma family, as a half-Han person, but he likes Qianghua, even if he doesn't lose to Cao Cao, he will lose to other princes.

The time of the day quickly turned into darkness, and Lu Rui was awakened by Cao Zhang in the box of the inn.

"Ziwen, is the time?" Lu Rui rubbed his eyes and looked at Cao Zhang, who was dressed in military uniform.

"Yes, Commander, the last general has already completed the deployment, and as soon as this water leak is completed, Jiang Wen's side will act. As long as the fire burns, the Xiliang army here will definitely go to reinforce it, and when the general's mansion will be empty in defense, we can rush in, capture Ma Chao's family, and avenge our son and uncle! ”

"Well, Ziwen, let's go." Lu Rui picked up the sword beside him and followed Cao Zhang out of the inn.

In the spring, the water is still relatively dry, the snow has not yet melted, and there are patrols everywhere. Because Xiliang is rich in horses, there is a large amount of forage in the city treasury, not only the treasury, but also the big households in Tianshui, and some public places will have forage points, in order to facilitate the merchants who come and go, and supply the forage.

"Captain Cao, the defenders of the Treasury Mansion have been drunk by me." Jiang Wen walked out of the treasury and came to a forage shop next to him to report to Cao Li.

"Good! Jiang Wen, well done, brothers, do it immediately, today is the time for us to avenge Cao Chun Jiang Yin, kill all the people of the Ma clan, and avenge the leader! ”

"Kill all the people of the Ma clan and avenge the leader!" The soldiers of the tiger and leopard rider were aroused by Cao Li's fighting spirit, and one of them held a torch in his left hand and a steel knife in his right hand, and rushed to the treasury of Tianshui.

"Boom!" Soon, the forage of the entire Xiliang treasury was ignited by Cao Jun, and the fire burned the entire treasury, printing half of Tianshui City red.

"My lord, the treasury is on fire!" Wang Ju, who was patrolling the east gate, followed the soldier's fingers and looked to the west, and the treasury of Xiliang was on fire.

"Quick, quick, send someone to put out the fire, and at the same time let the general's mansion send someone to the rescue. The four gates were ordered to be guarded, the gates of the city were closed, and no one was allowed to leave the city. When Wang Ju saw the fire in the treasury mansion, he felt a sigh in his heart, and hurriedly asked people to put out the fire.

"No!" The soldiers received the order and immediately went down the tower.

"Commander, the guards of the General's Mansion have come out." Following the direction of Cao Zhang's finger, Lu Rui saw about two hundred soldiers headed towards the west gate under the leadership of a captain.

"Okay, Ziwen, tell me to go down and prepare the bow and crossbow and long knife. After rushing into the General's Mansion, the guards at the front gate will definitely catch up, shoot quickly with a bow and crossbow, solve it as soon as possible, and then rush into the backyard to capture the Ma clan's people, remember, if you can't leave a mouth alive, leave the corpse behind! ”

"No!" Cao Zhang clenched his fists and took his life.

"Madam, ma'am, there is a group of unknown people attacking the General's Mansion, please leave the Mansion quickly." As soon as the main force of the General's Mansion left, Cao Zhang took the lead and rushed into the Ma Mansion with a tiger and leopard.

"What? Someone dares to storm my Ma General's Mansion? Butler, bring Miss Ben's spear, I'm going to meet these people and see who dares to storm my general's mansion. As soon as Ma Yunlu heard this, he immediately got angry and wanted to rush out to fight with Cao Zhang.

"Shut up! Yunlu, do you still treat me as your mother? Mrs. Ma looked at Ma Yunlu calmly, as if the danger was still far away from her.

"Mother?" Ma Yunlu was stunned, Mrs. Ma exuded a majestic momentum but not angry, is this the mother back? The flower of the overlord among the Qiang people in the past? It had been a long time since she had seen Ma exude such momentum.

"Mother!" Ma Yunlu nodded, and Mrs. Ma's momentum naturally made her feel awe.

"Okay, you immediately lead people out of the secret passage in the backyard, there are a few horses outside the city, you should be able to rush out with your personal guards. After you go out, tell your father and brother that Xiliang should not stay for a long time, or return to Qiangdi, go to your grandfather's former tribe, and the patriarch will take you in. After speaking, Mrs. Ma took out a token from her arms and handed it to Ma Yunlu.

Mrs. Ma had already risen when the soldiers came to report the fire in the treasury mansion, and now judging by the situation, it must be the Cao army that raided Tianshui, and how much military strength Tianshui has now, Mrs. Ma is clear, and she will definitely not be able to hold Tianshui.

As soon as Tianshui missed, the defeat of the Xiliang Army had already been decided. If Ma Teng and Ma Chao want to avenge themselves, they will definitely be unable to escape death, and they can only drag Cao Jun with their lives and let Ma Yunlu rush out.

"Mother!" At this time, Ma Yunlu was already in tears, although Ma Yunlu was a female overlord, dancing with knives and guns in the heavens, water and earth, looking like a strong woman, but in fact he had not experienced any big storms, and when he saw this scene, he only cried.

"Humph! What are you crying about, aren't you the most unaccustomed to girls being soft and weak? Yunlu, go quickly, if you don't leave, it's too late. Mrs. Ma shouted, pushed Ma Yunlu, and pushed him out of the room.

"Miss, go quickly, don't let down Madame's hard work." The two maids pulled Ma Yunlu and fled to the backyard.

"Take care, daughter!" Looking at Ma Yunlu's distant figure, Mrs. Ma nodded comfortingly.

"Madame, are we?" Seeing that Ma Yunlu had left, the old housekeeper looked at Mrs. Ma.

"Old butler, you immediately go to the small courtyard to inform the Yellow Turban Lux, let them block Cao Jun, and move closer to here. and find a faithful maid to come to me. Mrs. Ma calmly arranged that she wanted to buy time for Ma Yunlu. (To be continued......)
