Chapter 13 Retreat from the Qiang people
When he saw a Qiang man with an angry face and a war horse rushing towards him, Ma Tan was extremely happy.
At this moment, in the eyes of Ma Yan, he was a hero of the world, riding a tall horse to send him home.
So as soon as he thought of this, Ma Jian took a step forward directly, and watched the leader of the Qiang tribe get closer and closer.
However, in the end, the war horse stopped five steps away from Ma Tan, and the Qiang leader jumped off his horse and yelled at Ma Tan.
"You and other Han people are not known as the state of etiquette, what kind of etiquette is it to insult us Qiang people at will?"
He definitely didn't dare to do it, but as the leader of Dongqiang, he still had some eyesight. The Han man in front of him is a high-ranking official at a glance, in case he kills and angers the Han people, the army encircles and suppresses Dongqiang, and it is estimated that there will not be a few people alive.
If you don't dare to do it, you can only talk about it.
Seeing that the Qiang swords were all put away, Ma Jian suddenly felt a sense of disappointment.
Don't dare to do it, you TM just pretended nm, which made Lao Tzubai happy.
Waste of feelings!
"We Han have nothing to say to you foreigners who don't obey the indoctrination. You have been plundering our people all year round, how many civilians have you killed in Longyou over the years? ”
Since he couldn't satisfy Ma Tan's wishes, Ma Jian didn't have a good face. Seeing that the other party looks like a leader, Ma Jian is even more output.
"Today, my Han is under the command of the prime minister to crusade against the puppet Wei, and now the entire Longyou has been recovered. You Qiang people lay down your arms as soon as possible, and honestly surrender to the Han, and you can still have a way to live. ”
The attitude of the Han Dynasty towards foreign nations was consistent, surrender and death, there was no other choice. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, the Han army has continuously carried out military strikes against the surrounding small foreign tribes.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, among the foreign tribes with the most meritorious achievements of the Han generals, the Qiang people were included.
In the face of Ma Tan's output, Dongqiang's face was pale. I wanted to draw a knife and cut this foul-mouthed man immediately, but he didn't dare.
He didn't know very well what the level of this group of Han people was, and this time he came to find out. As a result, the other party's attitude was arrogant, and it was an output, which had the attitude of the Han envoy when he was in the Han Dynasty.
Could it be that the Han people have long had the idea of exterminating my Dongqiang? This group of Han people is here to fish and enforce the law?
Thinking of this, the leader of Dongqiang couldn't help but shudder, and immediately put away his fierce expression.
"Your Excellency Han Envoy, I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now, and I solemnly apologize to you on behalf of Dongqiang!" The leader of Dongqiang spoke, forcing himself to bow to Ma Jian calmly.
Ma Tan: "??? ”
What's that? I've been spraying you for so long, why are you suddenly cowardly?
Shake m, right?
"A certain name is Shuji, the leader of the Dongqiang tribe." The Qiang leader continued, his attitude becoming very sincere.
"This robbery is a complete misunderstanding, rashly offended the Han envoy, and please atone for your sins."
Speaking of which, Ma Jian couldn't continue, so he could only answer expressionlessly.
"Ma Tan, a member of the Han army, was ordered to go to Longxi County to persuade the guards of the puppet Wei to surrender this time."
"I've seen the Immediate Envoy." Shu Ji arched his hand,
"I, the thirteen tribes of Dongqiang, have long heard that the Han army is coming, and I am looking forward to Wang Shi's return to Longyou day and night. This time it was a complete misunderstanding, and a few days later, I personally went to Longxi with a gift to meet the prime minister of the Han Dynasty to apologize. ”
"That's for the best." Ma Tan said casually, he was not very interested in this kind of thing.
Ma Yan's attitude confirmed Shu Ji's guess even more, the Han army looks down on you at all, just like looking at ants.
If they are not honest, the Dongqiang tribe is estimated to become a Han dynasty and will be a war achievement.
Thinking about this, cold sweat oozed from Shu Ji's forehead, and he apologized to Ma Jian again and again. It wasn't until Ma Jian waved his hand to signal that he could roll, and Shu Ji ran away with the people.
It was originally a huge robbery, but it was solved by Ma Tanyi's abuse. When Ma Jian walked back to the camp like no one else, Yao Hu and the others looked at Ma Jian like ghosts.
"Join the Army...... That's it? Yao Hu scratched his head and asked curiously.
"Settled, a bunch of cowards." Ma Yan shrugged his shoulders and said casually.
I can bear it after scolding for so long, I can only say that I am really cowardly.
"Hurry up and get ready to rest, and we'll continue on our way tomorrow morning."
"It's not...... Joining the army is really a god! Yao Hu was full of curiosity about how Ma Jian did it, but when he saw that he didn't care about joining the army, he only held back a sentence.
The matter of being like a great enemy can be solved in a few words after joining the army, which is comparable to that of a god.
Not only Yao Hu thought so, but the other people accompanying him looked at Ma Jian with respect.
The Qiang retreated, and Ma Tan and his party rested for one night and re-embarked on the road.
At dusk the next day, Ma Tan and his entourage arrived at the city of Didao County, the seat of Longxi County.
Looking at the towering city of Didao County, Ma Jian felt that it was time for him to come.
As a border fortress to defend against foreign people, it is generally relatively strong, and it is quite laborious for the Shu army to attack. And if the Wei army insists on fighting to the death, the battle losses of the Shu army will definitely not be low.
"I am a Han man who joined the army, and I came to tell Longxi Taishou Chen the pros and cons on the order of the prime minister, and quickly open the city gate!" Ma Tan shouted from under the city.
However, before the words fell, a row of Wei soldiers stood up on the head of the city, drew their bows and aimed at Ma Yan.
"Another lobbyist of the Shu people? If you are here to persuade you to surrender, leave quickly. The leading general looked at Ma Yan coldly.
"If you keep the order, if the Shu people have a lobbyist, they can shoot them immediately. But I don't want to kill you, so go back. ”
"I'm here on the orders of the prime minister, and you have a reason to retreat before you see anyone?" Ma Jian shook his head and said firmly.
"If you want to shoot arrows, just come at me! If you don't dare, open the gates and let me in!" ”
Ma Yan's attitude made Captain Wei silent, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
But at this moment, suddenly a gentle voice came from behind him.
"Put down your bow and arrows and let them in."
"Taishou-sama!" Captain Wei hurriedly turned around and saluted.
"Don't be polite, let him in, I want to see what the Shu people have to say." You Chu shook his head, touched his beard and said.
"If it's the same rhetoric as before, it's not too late to be executed at that time."
"Yui!" The captain hurriedly led people to open the city gate and let Ma Jian and his party enter the city.
As soon as he entered Didao City, Ma Jian realized that something was wrong.
The population of the entire city is not small, and it is even slightly more than the population of West County. However, most of the people seemed to be hungry, and they had vegetables.
There are also porridge shacks on the streets, where most of the people are waiting in line.
"What's going on? Why do people look like they've been hungry for a long time? Ma Jian frowned, feeling that something was wrong, so he grabbed the Wei soldier who was guiding them in front of him and planned to ask.
