Chapter 245: The Southern Xiongnu are Cao Mengde’s dogs!

"The Qiang people have taken root in Liangzhou for a hundred years and have fought with the Han people for a hundred years. Even a ruthless killer like Duan Xing can't do anything to us. What is there for a yellow-haired boy like Liu Zilie to fear?!"

"The Han court has been ravaging the tribes of our grasslands for a long time. Now the two generals are calling for a meeting of the tribes in Longxi to fight against the Han court's brutal troops. The Hexi Xianbei will send 20,000 troops to obey the two generals' orders!"

"We have come all the way from Hetao, and we only want to ask the two generals whether the promises in the letter are true..."

"Liu Zilie is arrogant and ignorant, he will surely die in Liangzhou! All the Qiang people in Liangzhou are willing to obey the orders of Generals Ma and Han!"

Outside Longxi City, inside the central army tent.

The leaders of all tribes and clans gathered together.

Some of them were small tribal leaders in Liangzhou.
Some are nobles of a large area.

Some occupied rich pastures,

Some can only survive on extremely barren land.

But now, all of them have gathered all their military forces outside the city of Longxi. There is no other way. The conditions offered by Ma Chao and Han Sui are too tempting.

Liangzhou had been devastated over the years, and even most of the Qiang people had a hard time, not to mention other small tribes.

What's more, the King of Chu also wanted to "not keep the Qiang in Liang"? !

Whether from the perspective of interests or threats, all the Qiang tribes in Liangzhou cannot remain indifferent.

As for the Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu...

Perhaps it was because the Han warlords on the border had caused so much harm to the grassland tribes in recent years that they could no longer hold on, or perhaps it was because of a natural disaster that they really could not survive.

That's why they went through so much trouble and traveled thousands of miles to Longxi, hoping to get a share of the pie with Ma Chao and Han Sui.

In short, for various reasons and because of common interests, the Hu tribes from all over the northwest gathered together.

now,

Including the troops of Ma Chao and Han Sui, 350,000 troops have gathered outside Longxi City!
Ma Chao looked at the crowded northwestern tribe leaders inside the tent and took a deep breath. He tightly gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the hot blood surged in his body.

At first, he just wanted to gather more than 100,000 Qiang soldiers and fight a fierce battle with Liu Wu in Longxi.

But he could never have dreamed that he had now summoned all the Qiang soldiers in Liangzhou. With these 350,000 troops in his hands, what would Liu Wu be?
As for the affairs of this world, he, Ma Mengqi, can also compete for it!
"Gentlemen..." Ma Chao tried his best to suppress his excitement and looked at the tribal leaders of the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei: "Take every word of what General Han and I said in the letter seriously!"

"As long as you defeat Liu Wu, from Liangzhou to Guanzhong, we only want land, treasures, food, men and women, you can take them all!"

In front of everyone, Ma Chao made another promise.

He is a descendant of Ma Fubo.

He is the mighty general of heaven.

He is also a strong man from Liangzhou!
The strong will not bother to tell lies!
All the tribesmen breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. They no longer hesitated and saluted Ma Chao in unison: "God of Kunlun, wherever the two generals' arrows point, the tribesmen's swords will go!"

It's done!

Until this moment, the last bit of doubt in Ma Chao's heart about the various tribes was finally completely dispelled...

The Kunlun God is not only the belief of the Xiongnu people, but also the belief of the Qiang people and all the nomadic tribes on the grassland.

The leaders of various tribes in the tent swore an oath to the God of Kunlun. This was the greatest sincerity and the greatest proof of their willingness to obey the orders of Ma Chao and Han Sui.

"I have received news from the scouts..." Ma Chao said without further ado: "Liu Wu's army will arrive in Tianshui!"

"The court summoned the leaders of all tribes to meet today to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy."

How to deal with the enemy?

The leaders of each tribe looked at each other, wondering what strategy to use to deal with the enemy.
Liu Wu is coming to kill us, why don't we just rush up and kill him?

When they fought against the Han people before, they relied on their bravery and fearlessness, and dared to fight and kill. As for strategies...

Except for a few leaders of the tribes who were once powerful, few other Qiang tribes had this awareness.

Looking at the confused eyes of the leaders in the tent, Ma Chao suddenly understood everything. It was no wonder that the people who finally led most of the Qiang and Yi people in Liangzhou were all Han people.

wow~
Ma Chao was too lazy to make things difficult for them, so he had someone spread out a huge sheepskin map in the big tent and pointed his sword at the city of Longxi on the map: "My opinion is that Liu Wu's army has come from afar, so they must be old and tired. We can rest and wait for them to tire themselves out..."

"At that time, my army was several times larger than Liu Wu's. I could lead an elite force to attack Liu Wu's center and send another elite force to go around to the back of Liu Wu to cut off his retreat!
"The rest of the tribes will attack from the outside, destroy their military strength, and disrupt their formation..."

"In this way, we will surely be able to defeat Liu Zilie in one fell swoop!"

There is nothing new about Ma Chao's strategy, but it is convenient and practical, which is suitable for the current situation and is timely.

The leaders of the tribes were about to nod subconsciously, when suddenly, a faint voice sounded: "Meng Qi's plan will naturally be successful against ordinary generals, but if it is used against Liu Zilie..."

"Liu Zilie is cunning by nature and well versed in military affairs. I'm afraid this plan... won't be able to trap him."

The words fell,

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and Ma Chao also frowned and turned around...

The person who spoke was Han Sui!
Now, just when he was establishing his prestige among the various Hu tribes, Han Sui rejected his plan in front of the leaders of each tribe.

Ma Chao's tone suddenly turned cold: "What about Uncle Yiwen's opinion?"

Han Sui did not answer but asked: "My dear nephew, did you intend to fight Liu Wu outside Longxi City?"

Ma Chao: "Uncle, do you think this is inappropriate?"

Han Sui smiled faintly...

Clang clang ~
He suddenly drew the sword from his waist, and a cold light flashed in the tent!

Ma Chao shuddered and subconsciously raised the sword in his hand.

Tap tap tap~
The various Hu people in the tent retreated in panic, looking between the two men with doubtful eyes. King Liu Wu of Chu had not arrived yet, so were these two going to fight?
hum~
The sword tip, shining with cold light, fell from the sky with a soft hum and landed on Longxi on the map. Then the sword tip moved forward gently.

Han Sui raised his eyes and looked at Ma Chao: "My dear nephew Meng Qi, what do you think of this place?"

here it is……

Ma Chao was stunned. Longshan?

……

Hetao,

In the Southern Xiongnu camp, somewhere in a magnificent tent.

"Asshole! Damn it! Damn it!" Huhuquan, the Khan of the Southern Xiongnu, was furious.

He gritted his teeth and looked at a captain kneeling in front of him: "How many times have I told you that the Hetao Xiongnu are not allowed to interfere in Han affairs? Why don't you listen!"

"When did the young men from the three tribes, the Lan, Xubu, and Qiulin, leave? You were the captain in charge of the patrol last night, but you didn't know anything about it?"

The captain spoke tremblingly: "Your Excellency Chengligutu Chanyu, yes, it is my fault... They lived at the edge of this pasture, and they ran away during the handover of the night patrol team last night. No one noticed them at all."

"By the time we realized something was wrong, only the elderly, the weak, women and children were left in these three tribes. All the young and strong were gone..."

Call ~
Huo Chuquan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

This group of short-sighted gazelles only cared about the benefits promised by Ma Chao and Han Sui, but forgot that now the entire Huns are under the nose of the great prime minister, the King of Wei.

Qiang Qu had witnessed the power of the King of Wei in conquering the Wuhuan.

Since he took over the position of Chanyu from his brother Yufuluo, Huochuquan only wanted to let the Xiongnu pass on peacefully. What if the reckless actions of those three tribes caused dissatisfaction to the King of Wei...

The Chanyu Chengligutu of the Southern Xiongnu had a bitter taste in his mouth at this moment. The Hetao Xiongnu today is no longer the great country in the northern region that dominated thousands of miles during the Western Han Dynasty!
"Chanyu! Chanyu!" King Zuoguli rushed into the Golden Tent with sweat all over his forehead.

wow~
He held a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, his hands shaking violently: "Wei, Wei, a handwritten letter from the King of Wei!"

Did the King of Wei already know about the Hetao Xiongnu's intervention in Liangzhou? !

shuh~
Huochuquan's face suddenly turned ugly. He took the bamboo slip and unfolded it...

After just reading a few lines, Huochuquan's expression turned strange.

"Chanyu..." King Zuoguli said cautiously, "Then King Wei, are you going to hold me, the Xiongnu, accountable?"

The fact that the three tribes responded to Ma Chao and Han Sui had long been no secret among the Xiongnu nobles, and King Zuoguli fully agreed with the Chanyu's point of view.

The Southern Xiongnu have lived in peace for a hundred years. If they continue to live in peace, they will have endless beef and mutton to eat and endless kumis to drink. Isn't that good?

Their fellow tribesmen in the north will never let them go back.

If the King of Wei expels them again, where can they, the descendants of Kunlun God, go?

Today's Southern Xiongnu are nothing more than the henchmen of the King of Wei!

Huochuquan sighed in his heart and suddenly closed the bamboo slips: "Pass on my military order..."

"Mobilize 30,000 cavalrymen, and appoint Zuo Xian Wang as the commander-in-chief! Immediately dispatch troops to Liang Province, join forces with Ma Chao and Han Sui, and besiege King Liu Wu of Chu!"
