Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 877

The grassland is cold in autumn.

Ma Zhou finally arrived at the Turkic King City with his soldiers and horses.

But at this time, the Turkic King City has changed its name to Tang City.

Chen Shixiong, the guard of Tang City, had already heard about the imperial envoy Ma Zhou, so he was already waiting.

Chen Shixiong was tall and handsome, standing in front of Tang City, despite the autumn wind blowing, he didn't feel the slightest chill.

In contrast, Ma Zhou, who was sitting on horseback, couldn't bear the severe cold here, so when he came, he kept shrinking his neck.

Seeing Ma Zhou like this, Chen Shixiong couldn't help feeling a little disdainful in his heart.

If Ma Zhou hadn't been an imperial envoy sent by the emperor, he wouldn't have been waiting here early in the morning to welcome him.

From Chen Shixiong's point of view, Ma Zhou got this job only by relying on his relationship with Qin Tian.

When Chen Shixiong thought of this in his heart, his expression became more casual, and he was not as cautious as before.

Not long after, Ma Zhou finally came to him. Chen Shixiong glanced at Ma Zhou, and said casually, "Welcome, Your Excellency Imperial Envoy."

Ma Zhou looked at Chen Shixiong in a daze, because he really didn't understand why Chen Shixiong still had emotions. You know, he didn't offend Chen Shixiong?

Ma Zhou felt that this matter was a bit speechless, what was it all about.

However, Ma Zhou could only bear with it for the time being, thinking that he would have to work with Chen Shixiong to solve the disasters and crises on the grassland.

"General Chen, you are welcome. General Chen is stationed on the grassland for our Tang Dynasty. He is a hero of our Tang Dynasty. Ma admires him very much. How about we go in and talk about it in detail?"

Ma Zhou's attitude was good, but he was neither humble nor overbearing. After he said that, Chen Shixiong felt a lot more comfortable, and suddenly felt that Ma Zhou was not bad.

After smiling, Chen Shixiong said, "Let's go."

The two entered the city together, and then arrived at Chen Shixiong's General's Mansion.

After sitting down in the living room, all the generals came one after another.

There were a lot of people in the living room, Ma Zhou took a look at them, and knew that they were all people with high martial arts skills, and he might have to rely on them for the future.

"General Chen's subordinates are so mighty. There are others in the Tang Dynasty, so there is nothing to worry about."

Ma Zhou flattered these people again, and Chen Shixiong and the others felt much more comfortable after hearing this.

"This horse week is really good."

Everyone thought in their hearts, but at this time, Chen Shixiong felt a little embarrassed if he didn't express it.

"Your Excellency Ma is absurd, but he is only serving the country and being loyal to the Holy One."

Ma Zhou nodded and said, "General Chen, I haven't been in the grassland for long, and I don't know much about the situation on the grassland. I'm afraid I will trouble General Chen to tell me about the situation."

Chen Shixiong nodded: "Of course there is no problem with this. There are about 2000 rebels, large and small, on the grassland today. Those with more soldiers and horses may have more than [-] people, and those with fewer soldiers and horses may have only a few hundred people. It is not difficult to destroy them, but it is time-consuming. After all, they are too scattered, and it is very unfavorable for us to rush to kill them like this, but this is easy to solve. What worries me the most is Mozak's soldiers."

"Mozak, who is he?"

"He used to be the leader of a Turkic tribe. After the Great Tang eradicated the Turks, he fled to the Western Turks. However, after the Western Turkic War broke out, his soldiers and horses were seriously damaged, so he took advantage of the drought in our place, and then He escaped back and recruited troops from us. Now his strength has reached [-], which is not a small number. If he joins forces with other tribes, the pressure on us, Tang Dynasty, will be even greater..."

Chen Shixiong murmured to Ma Zhou the situation on the grassland like this. Although he was a little impatient because he still looked down on Ma Zhou, he still made it clear what had to be said.

After Ma Zhou listened, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Other rebels on the grassland, it's easy to deal with, I have brought food and grass, as long as they survive, I think there will be some people who choose to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, If there are still people who do not surrender, we will send troops to destroy them."

This matter still requires both soft and hard measures, and in the face of the crisis of survival, many people should choose to surrender in order to survive.

After all, compared with life and death, many other things are trivial.

For this, Chen Shixiong didn't think there was any problem. He had [-] troops on the grassland. During this period, he also destroyed several rebels in the country. He knew that these rebels were not strong. It's not difficult.

He was still worried about Mozak.

"Master Ma is right, but I'm afraid that these people will be attracted by Mozak. At that time, they will form a force, and it will be difficult to deal with."

Ma Zhou thought for a while, nodded and said, "So, we must find a way to destroy Mozak."

Chen Shixiong smiled softly, and said: "Then Mozak is very shrewd. As long as he gets news from us, he will run away immediately. It is not easy to kill him."

"Didn't General Chen just say that Mozak was recruiting soldiers from other tribes? Maybe we can start from this aspect and set a trap for Mozak."

"We got news that Mozak is in contact with Lu Renjia recently. Nalu Renjia has [-] soldiers under his command, which is considered to be the strongest in the rebel army. Mozak wants to win him over so that he can strengthen his army. "

Hearing this, Ma Zhou nodded: "This Lu Renjia, I heard about a group of rebels who were subdued on the way here, and I know him a little bit. Mozak wants to win him over, so we might as well Use it."

When they first entered the grassland, there was a group of rebels who had no eyesight to provoke Ma Zhou, but they were subdued by Ma Zhou. On the way to Tangcheng, Ma Zhou also asked about the situation of some grassland tribes. The strength is the strongest, so Ma Zhou pays more attention.

After he finished speaking, Chen Shixiong was a little curious and asked, "What does Lord Ma mean?"

"I'm going to meet Lu Renjia, ask him to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, and then plan to destroy Mozak. As long as Mozak is eliminated, it will be much easier to deal with other tribes on the grassland."

Chen Shixiong nodded: "Okay, then I will mobilize two thousand soldiers and horses to your lord tomorrow."

"no need."

"What does Master Ma mean?" Chen Shixiong was a little puzzled.

"This kind of thing, of course, has to be done in secret, so I'm going to go it alone."

Hearing that Ma Zhou went alone, Chen Shixiong suddenly felt that he had met a fool, and he was an extra-large fool.

Did Ma Zhou feel that his life was too long, and went to Lu Renjia alone?
He chuckled in his heart, but said on his mouth: "Master Ma, you really are so brave."

He wanted to see how Ma Zhou died.
