Han Dao world

There are more and more black spots, at least dozens of people.

The Hun woman became uneasy and yelled loudly to remind the Huns on horseback to pay attention.

With so many people appearing from the depths of the desert, it is very likely that they are bandits.They not only rob, but kill, wherever they go.

The two Huns quickly noticed. The old Huns rode to meet them. While the young Huns rushed to the tent, they reminded the children in the lake to come to the shore and prepare to escape for their lives.

-

Ma Chao brought his troops and [-] days of rations, one man and two horses, and arrived at Xiu Tu Ze in only three days.

Looking at the old Hun who was coming up, he smiled silently, stretched out his hand to signal his subordinates to slow down, and rode forward alone.

Seeing Ma Chao coming to meet him alone, the old Hun breathed a sigh of relief, but his hand did not leave the bowstring, ready to shoot at any time.

"Guest from afar, where are you from?"

Among Ma Chao's subordinates was a Hun, who had a little knowledge of the Hun language, and immediately said loudly: "I come from Lingwu Valley, and I have the order of the nobleman."

In order to conceal their whereabouts, Ma Chao and his party dressed similarly to the Huns, wearing felt hats and leather jackets, and looked no different from the Huns from a distance.Although his Hun language was not very idiomatic, the Huns were of a complex race and had many accents, so the old Hun didn't pay much attention to it.

Hearing that it was from Lingwu Valley and carrying the orders of the nobleman, he subconsciously thought it was Baimatong's subordinates.

Recently, I heard rumors that the Han emperor is coming, and that Baima Tong may retreat to Xiu Tuze.Seeing these people now is also expected.

"Where are the others?" Ma Chao asked loudly.

"It's all on the south side of Daze."

"How many people are there?"

"Not many, more than 500 households, but there are a lot of cattle and sheep, enough to feed the king for half a month."

"Very good." Ma Chao said, suddenly began to accelerate, and at the same time reached out and took off the horn bow at his waist.

The Huns were taken aback, subconsciously raised the bow in their hands, pulled the string and shot, kicked their horses and turned around at the same time, preparing to run away.

The feather arrow left the string and arrived in front of Ma Chao in an instant.

As soon as Ma Chao stretched out his hand, he caught the arrow, put his backhand on the string, drew the bow and shot.

Before the Huns had time to react, they were shot by Ma Chao with an arrow and fell off their horses.

Ma Chao rode his horse to catch up, drew his long knife out of its sheath, leaned over on the horse's back, and the tip of the knife brushed the Huns' throat.

The sharp sword cut the neck of the Huns, and blood gushed out.

Ma Chao sat up straight, pointed his blood-stained long knife at the south bank of Daze obliquely.

"According to the imperial edict of the Han Dynasty, stop Tu Hu's rebellion, and the whole family is guilty, so let's shoot and kill."

Hundreds of knights shouted in unison, began to speed up, and galloped westward along the south bank of Daze.

Chapter 298

Xiu Tuze lives in the desert and lives a hard life. Even the Huns are reluctant to come here, let alone the Han people.

Xiutu Gehu's left-behind followers are at ease and live a hard and leisurely pastoral life.

Many people were dumbfounded when they heard the rapid warning sound.

Many people thought of robbers, but they didn't think of the Han army.

Wuwei County is in the south of Xiutuze. If the Han army comes, it will usually come from the south, not the east.

When they saw the roaring battle flag of the Han army, it was already too late. Many people didn't even have time to wind up, let alone the charge formation.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, sweeping past.

Ma Chao took the lead, holding a bow in his left hand and a spear in his right.Those who are far away shoot with bows, those who are near pick with spears, and there is no enemy.

Lieutenant Pound followed closely behind.

The battle lasted for half an hour, most of Xiutu Gehu were killed, and only a few people fled into the depths of the desert.

Ma Chao didn't send anyone to chase him.Without enough food, especially water, these people would not survive long.

Ma Chao sent troops to plunder, then slaughtered cattle and sheep, had a big meal, and rested overnight in Xiu Tuze.

Early the next morning, he killed all the cattle and sheep that he could not take away, threw them into Xiutuze, and set fire to tents and other things.

Hu Nu, who had been with him all night, kowtowed and begged for mercy, but to no avail, she was killed by him with a knife, and her blood flowed all over the ground.

At dawn, Ma Chao set off again, heading northeast to his second target: Tu Shenze.

If Baima Tong withdraws from Beiyi Mountain, it should go to Xiu Tuze to the west and Tushenze to the north.

Ma Chao's task is to destroy his retreat, leaving him nowhere to go.

Jia Xu and Ma Teng joined Han Sui to discuss the matter of marching into Lingwu Valley.

Han Sui expressed concern.

After several days of reconnaissance, he has confirmed that Baimatong is in Lingwu Valley, and it is still there, and there are many troops.

Even if there is no one hundred thousand, there is still fifty thousand.

The strength of the two sides is close, it must be a fierce battle, not only the price of taking is very high, but also the risk of defeat.

Everyone knew what Han Sui was thinking, but no one revealed it.

Among the [-] troops, Han Sui had the absolute right to speak.

After all, Jia Xu is just pretending to be Duan Jiong's nephew, not the real one.Unless Duan Jiong himself is resurrected, no one can compare with Han Sui right now.As a celebrity in Xizhou, he has been the leading faction in Liangzhou since he was elected as the leader together with Bian Zhang by Bei Gong Boyu and Li Wenhou. Now that Bian Zhang, Bei Gong Boyu and others are all dead, he is even more It is true.

Ma Teng and his son are outstanding in force, but their influence cannot be compared with that of Han Sui.

Jia Xu didn't speak, Ma Teng didn't speak, Yang Xiu watched coldly and didn't speak.

Han Sui proposed to send someone to contact Baimatong again, and persuade him to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and admit his mistakes to the court.

Jia Xu agreed, and Ma Teng had no objection.

Yang Xiu saw it and sighed secretly.

No wonder Jia Xu has been silent for so long since he came back. The situation in Liangzhou is really complicated.As smart as Jia Xu, he can only take one step at a time.

-

"Sir, I want to go back to Meiji, can you send me two guides?" Yang Xiu asked with a sigh.

He has nothing to do these two days, so he plays chess with Jia Xu.

The chess skills of the two are about the same, but he has something on his mind, and he can't calm down to think about it. He loses more and wins less.

These days are really boring, he wants to go to Meiji and return to the emperor.

"Since it's here, it's safe." Jia Xu looked at the chess game and said, "Since the Son of Heaven has already suffered a serious injury, nothing will happen in the short term. Wait a few more days and bring back good news."

"How many days?"

Jia Xu looked up at Yang Xiu, with the corner of his mouth twitching lightly, he put the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, and the chess pieces collided with each other, making a rustling sound.

"Dezu, although Baimatong is not the most powerful tribal leader in Liangzhou, he is still one of them. If you can calm down in one fell swoop, how many days are you willing to wait?"

"Can it be settled in one fell swoop?"

"I can't say for sure, but at least there is a [-]% chance." Jia Xu picked up the wine glass at the side and took a sip of the wine. "I could have arranged for you to go with Meng Qi, but I didn't. Do you know why?"

Yang Xiu blinked and looked at Jia Xu.

"I'm afraid you won't bear it." Jia Xu picked up a chess piece and landed it on the board. "You lost again."

Yang Xiu lowered his eyelids and looked at the chessboard.

Jia Xu decides the world with one stroke, he seems to have lost a good chess game, and he doesn't even have a chance to come back.

But he didn't have a trace of depression, but he had an indescribable excitement.

Ma Chao is the chess piece arranged by Jia Xu to determine the outcome.Jia Xu didn't let him follow, probably because the scene would be very bloody and the killings would be heavy.

In fact, he also saw that although Ma Chao was young, he was ruthless and a martial artist who killed people without blinking an eye.

Such a person rushes to the enemy's rear, thinks with his toes, and can imagine what will happen.

"Then I'll wait a little longer, and ask Mr. for advice on how to play chess." Yang Xiu smiled, picked up the chess pieces from the desk, and prepared to fight again.

"What kind of virtue and ability do you dare to teach the ancestors to play. However, you and I are close ministers of the emperor. If you have any doubts, you should learn from each other to achieve perfection. Your Majesty has great ambitions. Although I yearn for it, I am old. It’s coming. Dezu is young, and he may have a chance to see a peaceful and prosperous world, so he should work hard and don’t give up on himself.”

Yang Xiu laughed, a little indescribably proud.

As Jia Xu said, his greatest advantage is not his family background, but his youth.

-

Han Sui and Ma Teng each filed a case, chatting while drinking.

When the wine was half drunk, Han Sui's dark and thin face was flushed, and he was a little stupefied.

"Shoucheng, have you ever thought about which son to send to serve?"

Ma Teng put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his greasy fingers, and scratched his scalp with his little finger. "I haven't made up my mind yet. I originally planned to let Meng Qi go, but he refused to be restrained. Ah Xiu is willing, but he is too young, and I am afraid it will be useless."

"Meng Qi is not willing? That's unreasonable. Let me talk about him." Han Sui made a fuss. "Where is he?"

Ma Teng was stunned for a while. "do not know."

"I don't know?" Han Sui put down his wine glass heavily, his eyes became sharp.

He invited Ma Teng to drink today, but he heard that Ma Chao didn't show up for several days.Ma Chao is a restless person, it is impossible to hide in the tent and study, and if he does not show up, he must have taken some action.

Han Sui didn't want to see anyone acting without authorization, even if this person was Ma Teng's son.

"I really don't know." Ma Teng thought about it carefully. "It should be a scout hunting down the Huns outside. As you know, he can't stay idle."

"When did you see me?"

"It's been several days." Ma Teng was helpless. "This kid's wings are stiff, and he doesn't see me as an old man. If there is anything, he will go to Jia Wenhe, not me. I will ask Wenhe later, he should know."

Han Sui's eyes became complicated.

This was what he was most worried about. Ma Chao couldn't make waves by himself, but with Jia Xu behind him to make suggestions, it was hard to say.

If it is a wise man who can change the situation in Chang'an by himself.

From the moment he learned that Jia Xu returned to Liangzhou, he paid special attention to it. While trying his best to win over Ma Teng, a sworn brother, he forbade his subordinates to have too much contact with Jia Xu, just because he didn't want Jia Xu to have a chance to make trouble.

Unexpectedly, despite all precautions, Jia Xu found a breakthrough.

Chapter 299 Intrigue

Han Sui didn't dare to be careless, so he called Cheng Gongying and asked about the last meeting with Ma Chao.

Cheng Gongying only remembers that Ma Chao and Yang Xiu hit it off, and Yang Xiu should be the last person to see Ma Chao.

After hearing this, Han Sui regretted it too much.

Jia Xu is enough to cause a headache, and with Yang Xiu, Ma Chao, who has no brains, must have been tricked into a fool by them and played by them.

Han Sui didn't dare to neglect, and immediately sent someone to inquire.

The results came out quickly. Five days ago, Ma Chao led his troops out of the camp and headed northwest.

Han Sui was furious and furious. While scolding Ma Teng for being so stupid that he couldn't even control his own son, he summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

Jia Xu and Yang Xiu were also invited.

Before Jia Xu arrived, he told Ma Teng to ask Ma Chao's whereabouts.

Ma Teng was very obedient. As soon as Jia Xu arrived, he asked Jia Xu if he knew where Ma Chao had gone.

Jia Xu told Ma Teng frankly that Ma Chao went to Xiu Tuze.

After saying a word, there was silence in the tent.

Even if those present don't know where Xiu Tuze is, they still know where Xiu Tuze is, and they know better that Ma Chao is not a kind person, and naturally he came to Xiu Tuze not to do good deeds and send warmth.

He was going to copy the back road of Baimatong.

Without changing his face, Han Sui asked when Ma Chao was leaving, and immediately divided up his generals to prepare for the battle against Bai Matong.

White Horse Copper will receive news soon.Knowing that the back road was cut off, he either took the initiative to attack or retreat.No matter which result, Han Sui must treat it with caution.
