Chapter 948: Wise Bode
The black cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, was just waiting for this order, and at that moment, more than a dozen swords reached forward in unison, but the poor three lords didn't even have the strength to resist, so they were killed on the ground.
The three lords of the kingdom died, and the big tent was filled with a foul smell of blood.
"Cleaned up." Ma Chao waved his hand, not at all excited because he had just ordered to kill someone, but sat back very calmly and with a flat expression.
Sixteen black cavalrymen immediately lifted the nine corpses, and then someone began to clean the tent with clean water.
Everything was done in an orderly manner, and it didn't take long for everything to be solved and all the people withdrew.
Only the lord of the Mi Kingdom, Bode, and his two guards, as well as Ma Chao and Ma Dai, were left in the tent.
When the scene just happened, Bode's face had already changed color with fright, and he was glad that he had made the right decision just now, for fear that he would be a corpse now. But at the same time, he also dared to see what he shouldn't see, and then the leader of the fickle black cavalry would not shoot himself?
"No, in order to survive, you must strive to do something, at least prove your worth." Bode, who didn't want to die, quickly made a smart decision, that is, to obey Ma Chao's management and take the lead of his horse, although this will probably not end well, but it is better than dying now.
"Lord, Bode is willing to submit to you and help you accomplish great things." When the tent was quiet again, the lord of the kingdom fell to his knees with a thud and slammed his head to the ground.
Bode did this, so that Ma Chao, who was in the chief, nodded appreciatively.
Although the black cavalry is not weak, if it is necessary to start a war with the four small countries, it will also pay a lot of price. That's why he didn't kill right away, but wanted to talk about it first. And now, Bode is willing to surrender, which is great, he can use the power of this person to complete the unification of the forces of the four small countries, so as to strengthen himself.
"Hahaha, Lord Bode, please get up quickly." After Ma Chao finished speaking, he walked down from the front desk from behind the case and stretched out his hands.
When Ma Chao put his hand on Bode's arm, the person's whole body trembled. He knew that his life was now in the hands of others, and as long as one was unhappy, he could take his life at any time.
Feeling that Bode's whole body was tense, Ma Chao immediately smiled and said: "Lord Bode doesn't have to be so nervous, even if you support you, then you won't be able to do anything." On the contrary, it will send you a great creation. ”
"Great creation? Why? The previous Bode didn't hear it, because he knew that even if Ma Chao could easily kill the three lords, he would be unhappy when he turned around, and his life would be difficult to protect.
But now, when he heard Ma Chao talk about creation, he really had to pay attention. He deeply knows that relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on the water to dry, relying on his own best truth.
Seeing that Bode was interested, Ma Chao smiled and said: "Summoning these three lords is dead, but their country's army is still there, so if the lord of Bode has a way to subdue them, I don't mind cooperating with you." ”
"Is the leader talking about the military power of the Three Kingdoms?" Bodke is a smart man, and he immediately understood what Ma Chao meant.
"Correct. Now you can talk about it, is there any way to take down the military power of the Three Kingdoms without bloodshed, and use it for us. Ma Chao nodded.
"This... It's not that hard. All we need to do is say that the three lords are drunk at the chief's place, and then bring their generals here, as long as we control the leading figures, then the military power will naturally be in our hands. It was only a matter of hesitation that Bode came up with a solution.
"Hehe, well, that's the case, the matter will be handled by the lord of the country of Bode, there should be no problem." Ma Chao said with blazing eyes.
"No problem." This time, Bode didn't even hesitate and gave the answer.
Although he knew that if he wanted to do this, he would have to see blood, and he didn't even know how many people he would have to kill. Doing so would be tantamount to a complete split with the Western Regions Alliance. But he still had to do it, which can be regarded as a vote. Most importantly, it is a good thing for him and for the whole of the country.
The country is considered a weak existence in the entire Western Regions Alliance, with less than 200,000 people in a one-person country, and only 25,000 troops, such a force, any strong person in the Western Regions can swallow them. This is also the lord of the country, he has always lived in a cautious way.
Now, there is finally a chance to rise, even if the hope is small, he must seize it.
Bode agreed, which made Ma Chao very satisfied. Then he looked back at his cousin Ma Dai and said, "You follow General Bode and protect his safety." ”
The so-called protection security is fake, the surveillance is real. Bode understands this, but he won't refuse. On the contrary, if the other party doesn't care at all and lets himself leave, then he should be careful.
After Bode made the decision to join Ma Chao, he went out to prepare. Relatively speaking, he still knew the situation of the three small countries very well, and knew which of the three kingdoms was in control, so he immediately sent his own soldiers to inform the generals and let them come to the black cavalry to lead his drunken lord back.
When the news broke, the generals of the three kingdoms did not suspect him, and they came one after another and fell into Bode's trap.
It was only one night's time, and by dawn the next day, Bode had already taken control of the military power of the three kingdoms, and firmly grasped the generals in charge of their affairs.
Of course, if these generals don't obey, what kind of fate will be, then Ma Chao doesn't need to care.
After learning that Bode said that he controlled the military power of the three kingdoms, Ma Chao immediately said: "Okay, that's it, please ask the lord of Bode to integrate the forces of your four countries now, except for the 30,000 soldiers I want to select, the rest will be owned by the Mi country." ”
"Lord Xie, Bode will only look forward to his horse in the future." Bode had already prepared to divide some military power, and even in his imagination, the last three countries had enough troops of 110,000, and it would be good to be able to distribute 20,000 or 30,000 at that time. Unexpectedly, the result is much more satisfactory than myself.
How did Bode know that with Ma Chao's gaze, how could ordinary soldiers enter his eyes? Choosing 30,000 out of 110,000 is already the limit, there are too many people, except for wasting food, it is of no great use.
And the last three countries were destroyed, and the army was integrated and used by the Black Cavalry and the Mi Kingdom.
Mi has also jumped from a small country in the Western Regions to a middle-level country with 100,000 soldiers, and Bode, as the lord of the country, just feels that when he speaks, his confidence is much tougher.
And that night, without Bode's knowledge, Zhang Chao, the emperor of the Celestial Empire, came to the camp of the black cavalry.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, coupled with the fact that this place was ruled by the black cavalry, Zhang Chao's appearance did not attract anyone's attention. When he entered the tent of the black cavalry, Ma Chao and Ma Dai had already knelt on the ground to greet him.
"Get up, you're doing a good job." Zhang Chao gave a good comment as soon as he appeared.
Although Zhang Chao said it lightly, he was very excited when he heard the ears of Ma Chao and Ma Dai.
What kind of person is Zhang Chao, that is the emperor of the Celestial Empire, the founder of the Celestial Empire, and even the overlord of the world in the future, if it is something that he decides, then it is difficult for others to veto.
Especially now that the situation in the Western Regions is so bad, including the fact that the crown prince is now besieged, the second prince is deep behind enemy lines, and now even the emperor has appeared here, to say that Ma Chao is the commander of the dragoon legion, and he is also the representative of the first to enter the Western Regions, it is impossible not to be nervous at all.
Before, Ma Chao was even thinking about whether the emperor would punish him after he appeared? If you take the opportunity to take yourself, I'm afraid there will be real suffering. Although it is not all his fault that the current situation in the Western Regions is so bad, as one of the military commanders, he does have an unshirkable responsibility.
And now, as soon as Zhang Chao saw them, he gave a good comment, and with this sentence, they were fine, and the Ma family was fine. As soon as they thought of this, the two of them knelt on the ground at the same time and shouted: "The emperor is shengming, long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”
"Let's be flat." Zhang Chao sat down at the top of the tent under Xu Chu's guard, turned around and nodded lightly at the Ma brothers.
Indeed, the situation in the Western Regions is so bad, it really has nothing to do with Ma Chao, it is completely caused by accident.
If there had been no war between the North and the Rus, I am afraid that the war in the Western Regions would not have broken out so early. It's just that although the matter is urgent, Zhang Chao does not regret his original decision, because in his plan, the affairs of the Western Regions must be resolved, and the difference is nothing more than time sooner or later.
After seeing the ceremony, Zhang Chao listened to Ma Chao's report on the matter of Bailongdui, as well as some internal situations in the Western Regions.
Ma Chao used the identity of the leader of the black cavalry as a cover during this time, and he really got a lot of news, but because of this, Zhang Chao became more and more worried in his heart. "You mean Xing'er, they haven't heard from them all the time?"
Xing'er is Zhang Xing, Zhang Chao's second son, and the second prince of the Celestial Empire.
"Back to the emperor, there is indeed no news from the second prince, and I have sent someone to inquire, but there is no news." Ma Chao replied very cautiously. He actually still wanted to remind him, that is, there has been no movement for such a long time, whether the second prince is in danger or not, just thinking about it, he can immediately think that the emperor is so wise, there is no Taoist ideal, so he didn't say it.
