"General, you ......" Ma Dai didn't know what to say, and at this time he felt as if he was on a thief ship.

"Let's bring more people,"

When he was filial piety in Shuzhong before, Ma Dai heard that Ma Jian was a general, and his combat style was very vigorous and resolute. For more than half a year, he was obedient to the Qiang people in Longyou, and he became the new Shenwei general.

At that time, Ma Dai felt that this General Ma was really heroic, and he had the style of a brother back then. So when the filial piety was over, Fei Yi took him with him when he was ready to take up the post of Yongzhou Assassin.

Ma Dai believed that it would not be long before he could gather his former troops and be active on the battlefield again.

But now, Ma Dai feels as if the idea is a little too naïve.

You can indeed put together a trilogy, but the premise is to survive.

As far as Ma Yan's configuration is concerned, Ma Dai is very doubtful that he will be glorious in the first battle.

"There's no way, Bo Zhan, if we have a three-state tax to raise soldiers, don't you want to bring more people?" Ma Tan could see Ma Dai's deep suspicions, but he could only shake his head lightly.

"If I had enough food, I wouldn't have brought only that."

Ma Dai doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, who doesn't want to enjoy the feeling of holding heavy troops and going out on the march?

When I was fighting in Chencang before, I brought a few thousand people to fight with tens of thousands of people, and Ma Tan was called a cool. Ma Jian likes that feeling very much, and he can't wait to play like this every day.

However, as soon as the fantasy time is over, Ma Jian will have to face an astronomical amount of grain. Longyou has just been defeated, and is making every effort to organize production and construction, and grain and straw are being demanded everywhere.

Although Ma Tan wanted to die, he was embarrassed to transfer a large army to conquer Qiang at this time, which would only make the poor Longyou poorer.

After all, no one reimbursed him for military expenses, and there was only such a Longyou place to pay military expenses.

In all fairness, Ma Jian does not consider himself a good person, and he has a flexible moral bottom line.

But let him fight regardless of the life and death of the leaders below, he can't do it.

However, the Qiang still had to be requisitioned, and the entrenchment of these ethnic minorities in the territory has always been a hidden danger. So Ma Jian had to make this decision and began to take the route of specialization.

In fact, there is nothing difficult in the world, but the word poverty cannot be avoided.

Hearing Ma Yan's words, Ma Dai quickly understood what he meant. Now is not the day when he and his brother were bandits in Xiliang, and they still have to learn to cut back on food and clothing.

"But Bo Zhan doesn't have to worry, although I like to use risks, I definitely have skills." Ma Jian waved his hand and explained to Ma Dai.

"I'm a horseman, I like steadiness the most!"

"I've prepared a little bit of novelty for my personal guard cavalry, and with those things, I believe that it is not a problem to the Qiangdi!"

After handing over power to Fei Yi, Ma Jian began to continue to fight.

In the five counties of Longyou, the two Qiang people in Longxi County were dealt with by Ma Tan, and their tribesmen were basically relocated out of Tuntian. However, there are still a few Qiang scattered in Longyou, and Ma Tan plans to kick their tribe with light troops.

The first target is the Burning Qiang tribe located in Anding County.

This Qiang is the largest Qiang tribe except for Dongqiang, and there has been a semi-agricultural situation. However, due to natural disasters and military turmoil, the Qiang people often took the opportunity to go down the mountain to plunder, and their relationship with the Han people was still sharp.

After Wei Yandu settled the county, he led the soldiers to beat them, and they were basically honest. But Ma Tan is not a person who likes to leave hidden dangers, and it is time to hammer them.

Ma Tan led more than 100 guards and rode all the way to Wushi County, Anding County. While sending a letter to Wei Yan, he began to arrange to find a guide.

The most difficult thing to deal with the Qiang people is not to fight, but how to catch them. Most of the Qiang tribes are nomadic on horseback, sometimes in the plains and sometimes in the mountains, and it is not easy to catch them.

But this is not a difficult thing for Ma Yan. Because of the previous soldiers who went out of Longyou and the deeds of Qianghu, many Qiangdi people took the initiative to defect to him.

Among them, there were many people from the Qiang tribe, and when they heard that Ma Jian was going to beat their own tribe, they immediately went up to the pole to be a guide.

However, Ma Dai was very cautious about this, and he knew the habits of the Qiang people very well for several years. These Qiang people are not trustworthy and capricious, and even his brother cannot fully trust them.

"General Kamui! We are all people who have escaped from the tribe, and we know the location of the tribe very well! Hire us and you can rest assured! A few Qiang people brought by Ma Tan patted their chests and reassured, and the appearance of swearing made Ma Dai's heart even more bottomless.

"General, the Qiang people are not obedient to education and capricious, so you still have to be more careful!" Ma Dai grabbed Ma Jian and seriously advised Ma Yan.

"Don't worry about that! Even if they deceive me, I have the confidence to lead the soldiers to kill me! Ma Tan didn't care, he said to Ma Dai.

"What's more, don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people! Since you let them be guides, you have to do the most basic trust! ”

"Even if we are given three guts, we will not dare to deceive General Kamui!" Several Qiang people were furious and expressed their voices.

"If General Kamui can't trust us, he can kill us at any time!"

There are not many people like Ma Tan who have the same attitude towards the Qiang people, Han people, and Hu people, and are willing to give the Qiang people a way to live. People are not blind, and when the big leaders sincerely do things for them, the Qiang people will also remember his goodness.

Seeing Ma Tan's way of handling, it was difficult for Ma Dai to understand. However, I heard that Ma Jian had always had this habit, so he shook his head helplessly.

This general is really incomprehensible.

On a sunless night, the tribe of a leader of the Qiang tribe had just returned to the camp as a nomad. The tired Qiang people all relaxed and returned to the camp tent, ready to rest.

Except for a few sentry posts in the entire tribe, most of the Qiang people have relaxed their vigilance.

The whole tribe, including women, children, and children, numbered in the thousands, all living in one place. In the middle of the tent is the tent of the leader of the Qiang tribe and the family tent of his cronies.

If nothing else, this night was just a peaceful night for the Qiang tribe.

However, when the sentry soldiers were bored and on guard, they suddenly found that there were a few places in the dark mountains outside.

If it had been replaced by a Han army sentry, the enemy attack would have been shouted out by now. But these Qiang soldiers don't know much, just curious probes to see what is going on.

However, for a moment, they could no longer look at it. Because several crossbow arrows shot out of the darkness, directly through their thin armor.

"Do it!" As soon as Ma Tan saw that the sneak attack was successful, he immediately ordered. More than a hundred knights turned on their horses together, and at the same time drew their sabers and rushed out with the horses.

This raid will be a test of a new class of troops.
