"Waiting for them to gather?"

Meng Guo was stunned, a little unaware of Ma Yan's plans.

"General, although we have a lot of soldiers, the combat strength of this Qianghu man is not weak. What's more, Wu Wudang's flying army is basically all foot soldiers, and it is still difficult to fight in the face of the Qianghu people. ”

"The dignified Flying Army is still afraid of a group of Qianghu people?" Ma Yan turned his head to look at Meng Guo and asked with a smile.

"Or is it all the best in Didao County, and less than half of the remaining people are Lingqiang?"

In the ears of the general, these words are like a man hearing the sentence "You can't do it, thin dog".

Not only is it a real injury, but it also hits a high critical hit.

"How can you be afraid! Can I, a righteous general, be afraid of a group of Qiang people? Meng Guo blushed and argued with his neck in defense.

"Just Qianghu, there is no need for a general to go out, I will definitely be able to make them go back defeated!"

"It's okay not to be afraid, but don't try to rob me of the manager's job."

Ma Yan waved his hand again and again, for fear that this guy would be stimulated, and he would rush faster than him when he charged.

The danger factor of killing the enemy is so high, how can Ma Jian give it to others.

"Of course, I also pay attention to letting them gather in one place, and everything must be adapted to local conditions."

Ma Tan quietly pointed to the Dongqiang soldiers in the army who followed the expedition, and explained calmly.

"This Longxi is not as good as Nanzhong, and the people here look down on cowards the most. If we follow your strategy, even if we defeat the Qiang, it will be difficult to convince them. ”

"In the future, we still expect these old and young masters to fight with the army, if they look down on you, why should they let them return to their hearts?"

"Therefore, to deal with the Longxi Zhuqiang, we must use the method of frontal defeat to defeat them in a dignified manner. Only in this way can these unruly Qiang soldiers be subdued and make them willing to be used by the Han. ”

Ma Yan's explanation was very detailed, and even Meng Guo could understand it very clearly. However, Ma Yan's words made the Nanzhong general a little uncomfortable,

What do you mean that this place is not better than Nanzhong? It's the same as we like to be cowards in Nanzhong!

We Nanzhong people are also very brave, okay!

"So, even though a head-on fight may be a bit of a loss, it's a must for the overall picture." Ma Tan waved his hand and made a final decision.

"Send someone to send a letter to the various tribes of the Xianling Qiang tribe, telling them that I, Ma Tanzheng, is leading the Han army to come to conquer. Either surrender immediately, or each of them will come out with the rest of their own men and fight with me in an honest manner. ”

…………

Soon, dozens of messengers were ordered by Ma Tan to go straight to the various tribes of the Xianling Qiang tribe along the road.

At this time, the first Lingqiang departments were already rumoring, and the people were panicking.

Dan Muji, the leader of the Xianling Qiang tribe, has completely lost contact with him since he took his men and horses to Didao County. Half a month has passed, not only has there been no news, but there are more and more Han troops in Longxi.

What exactly is the end of this, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

The total population of the Xianling Qiang people is about 40,000, and the number of strong men combined is less than 10,000. Dan Muji took away four thousand strong men in one go, which is equivalent to half of all Ding Nan.

As a result, it turned out that the brothers were folded in it before they caught anything, and they even had to face the revenge of the Han Chinese.

The Han people have a very strong sense of revenge, and the cycle of revenge is very long. Any behavior of a foreign race that touches the bottom line may trigger a hundred years of retaliation by the entire Han people.

When Guo Huai was in office, he beat them from top to bottom. Now that the new Han people have beaten Guo Huai away, they can't imagine how strong the revenge is.

At this time, the elders and chiefs of the various tribes of the Xianling Qiang tribe were already panicked and were discussing what to do.

Now it is better to send someone to the Han people to express their surrender and reparation, in exchange for their refrain from retaliation. Either they will continue to run west with the tribe and hide in Di where the Han people can't catch up.

But no matter which plan, there are people in favor and some against, and the major tribes are in dispute.

At this time, messengers from the Ma Tan faction came to the Qiang tribes.

"This is a letter sent by the Han Chinese?" The elders of the tribe left behind frowned, looked at the few strong people of their own clan who were in charge of delivering the letter, and asked.

"That's right, the Han envoy said that he wanted us to pull people out and prepare for a battle with us." The sturdy man who had fled back nodded busily.

"What else did the Han general say, did he have anything else?" The elder continued.

"I said a lot of things, but we didn't understand them." A few Qiang people answered honestly.

"All we know is that someone told us to get the letter back."

"You guys, you can't even understand what the Han people say." The elder is angry, and while he is old-fashioned and teaches a lesson, he takes apart the bamboo slips and looks at them.

As a result, after one glance, the elder was stuck, because he found that he could not read either.

Who wrote this TM and why is it so ugly?

Of course, this can't be blamed on Ma Yan, the two generals who went with him on the expedition, one was a Nanzhong barbarian general, and the other was a Dongqiang leader. Both of them learned to write, but neither of them could write well.

After a little comparison, Ma Jian has become the best handwriting, and can only be written by Ma Tan.

If it were written by those two people, the elder probably wouldn't be able to understand the content of the letter.

He frowned and read it several times before the elder could barely read what it meant.

"This means that Han will want to fight us head-on. If we win, he will retreat and give up Longxi, and if we lose, he will surrender? ”

The elder narrowed his eyes, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.

"This Han ......"

"Elder, what are we going to do?" The person below asked cautiously.

"Go tell the leaders of the other tribes and find a place to discuss it together." The elder sighed and shook his head.

"By the way, go and ask the people below to prepare grain, gold and silver, or it won't be long before it will be used."

"Elder, what does this letter mean?" At this time, a young junior cautiously approached, glanced at the bamboo slip and shrank back.

It's a new font for the Han people, and I can't understand it at all.

"It was a letter written to us by the Han people, asking us to gather all the elites of the major tribes and tribes and fight them head-on." The elder put away the bamboo slips and said lightly.

"What? So arrogant! The young Qiang man was shocked, and immediately turned his head angrily and left.

"I'm going to gather the warriors of the tribe, and we're going to fight them to the death!"

"Shut up!" Seeing that the people below were so naïve, the elder was angry and wished that the stick would pry his head open to see how much water had entered.

"Do you really think that the purpose of the Han people is to fight us? In the current state of our first zero clan, can we beat them? ”

The young Qiang people were a little unconvinced, but thinking about the current situation of the tribe, they had to admit it.

If they really fight the Han people, they will basically only have the share of extermination.

"So what are we going to do? Why don't you run! The Qiang young man was a little nervous and hurriedly asked.

"Run? The Han people can send letters to our tribe, do you think they will not be able to catch up with us? The elder was almost out of breath, so he could only wave his hand and say.

"This is the face that the Han people gave us, telling us to surrender honestly!"
