This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 343
The northern cool grassland is vast and boundless.

The towering Yanbao Mountain blocks the monsoon from the west, creating abundant water and grassland in northern Liangzhou.

From the north of Liangzhou to the north, there is an endless prairie.

The place where the Qiang people live is also quite similar to this place.

It's just that the Qiang people still live a little further west.

The people living in the northern part of Liangzhou are herdsmen who have lived in Liangzhou for generations.

Here, the water and grass are fertile, the cattle and sheep flocks, the mountains and plains are covered with green grass, wild flowers are in full bloom, pastoral songs are bursting, and the unique scenery of Beiliang is unique.

Every winter, the Beiliang grassland is covered with snow after the snow, and wild yaks and running horses are scattered on the snow-covered grassland, becoming the most precious treasure of Beiliang.

The war horses raised by the Ma family are placed on this prairie.

Only occupies a small area of ​​it.

Three thousand Cao's elite troops marched northward, and soon set foot on the Beiliang Grassland.

As soon as you enter the grassland, you can see white tents, which are herdsmen living on the grassland.

When the herdsmen heard the heavy footsteps, they looked up and showed horror.

Cao's army is elite, with a strict military appearance and a forest of knives and halberds. All of them are wearing heavy armor, and they are strong and sharp.

"This is."

The herdsmen hurriedly moved away their cattle and sheep, not daring to approach this army.

Those with sharp eyes and quick wit rode their horses and headed north to report to those in power here.

The most powerful person here is the Ma family in Beiliang.

I heard that the Ma family has hundreds of thousands of war horses and countless cattle and sheep. As long as there are enough soldiers, they can instantly pull up an elite army of tens of thousands of cavalry.

"Hurry up and report, there is an unknown enemy army!"

A hundred miles away from the northwest of Cao Su, there is also an elite army advancing rapidly.

There are about 5000 people in this army, one person and two horses, galloping from a long distance.

Galloping on the grassland, the sound of horseshoes rumbling like thunder.

The cavalry galloped, and a dark cloud seemed to float over their heads.

The people in this team of cavalry were all dressed in sheepskin wool clothing, leather armor, and heavy felt hats. All kinds of flags were stuck on the horses and fluttered in the wind.

The cavalry suddenly appeared, and the continuous sound of horseshoes shook the entire green grassland.

The weather on the prairie became gloomy.

The cavalry traveled eastward all the way, and wherever they passed, the cattle and sheep were scattered, and the wild horses disappeared.

After running for a while, the cavalry slowed down their galloping pace.

Instead, walk slowly and gradually regain your strength.

"King Dan, the Ma family and I have been married for generations, but they didn't respond in Liangzhou when the army went out this time. They really don't care about us, King Qiang!"

The leading cavalry were heavily armored and fully armed.

The voice of the person who spoke was like thunder, extremely heavy.

"The Ma family is a noble family in Liangzhou, and they can be regarded as a famous family in Liangzhou. They have lived in this land for generations. It is not easy for them to surrender easily."

"This time I crossed the Gobi with five thousand cavalry just to force the Ma family to stand in line."

The man known as "King Dan" is one of the many tribal kings of the Qiang nationality.

The life of the Qiang people exists in the form of tribes. Generally, when the army goes south, it will be summoned by a Qiang co-lord. This is the "Qiang King", and it can also be called the "Holy Lord".

Under the Holy Lord, soldiers and horses from various tribes gathered, and among them were kings of all sizes.

For example, King Dan belongs to a relatively powerful tribal group among the Qiang people. He has [-] cavalry under his command, which are very elite. Therefore, he was sent by the King Qiang as a partial teacher to attack the northern part of Liangzhou.

King Dan is very young, probably in his thirties.

A few heavily armored knights with masks beside him were full of vigor and blood, and their inner strength was surging, with guards around him.

While speaking, always pay attention to the movement around you.

"I heard that Ma Yu, the eldest son of the Ma family's generation, has already reached the fifth-grade strength realm at the age of seventeen. He is the most talented warrior in the Ma family for hundreds of years."

King Dan had also heard the story of Ma Yu.

The main reason is that at a young age, Ma Yu went deep into Mobei, broke into the territory of the Qiang nationality, had some conflicts with some boys and girls of the Qiang nationality, and left some legends.

A smile appeared on King Dan's face: "It's Yurou's son, he is young and quite brave, like a man of my Qiang nationality."

King Dan is young, but his speech is quite mature.

The heavy armored knight next to him sounded older than the previous grade, and he said in a muffled voice, "It's the son of Yurou and Ma Liao, that kid, Ma Liao, was lucky to get Yurou's favor, and he is still so vacillating now , damn it."

King Dan can fully understand Ma Liao's mentality.

Although he came here this time to force the Ma family to stand in line, the bigger the family, the less easy it is to make a decision, especially although Ma Liao has become the head of the family, the time for him to be the head of the family is not long. Long, the position is not firm, and there are more worries.

Against the imperial court, that is a capital offense.

The Ma family is not like the Qiang people, and the big deal is to retreat to Mobei.

Ma's family is in Beiliang, how to escape in the future after the fall?

The Qiang people have already seen Qianyuan's weakness, and even if Qianyuan can repel them in the future, he will definitely not chase them out of Anzhou.

At that time, the Qiang people will wait for the hot weather to retreat in time, and they will also be pushing boats along the way.

As for being able to win "rich and rich" lands such as Anzhou or Liangzhou, it is an extravagant hope and plan later, and the premise is to test out how determined and motivated the imperial court is.

"King Dan, the Ma family is arrogant and unruly, like a fierce horse on the grassland, it will not be easily subdued."

"When we come to Ma's house in the future, although we have Yurou's relationship, we still have to be vigilant."

The knight in heavy armor warned King Dan that he was worried that the latter was too young and would easily fall into the trap of the Qianyuan people.

King Dan laughed: "With Uncle Tian here, who can stop me from the Ma family?"

Dan Wang's hearty laughter spread far away in the open grassland.

Liangzhou Grassland, where the Ma family resides.

The Ma family occupies an area with the most abundant pasture on the Liangzhou grassland.

The two rivers of Hajin and Mapi run through here, with green and majestic distant mountains, gurgling streams, beautiful scenery, long grass and warblers flying, fertile land and abundant pasture.

Rumor has it that the Ma family has raised [-] war horses here, as well as cattle and sheep that can be seen everywhere.

The 35-year-old Ma Liao is the head of the Ma family. He is in the prime of life and in the prime of life.

Throughout the year, he spends more than half of his time in Ma's residence, and the rest of the time in Beiliang City, Liangzhou Prefecture, Jincheng, Mobei and other places.

The Ma family's horse business is all over Xizhou, and they also have many contacts with officials.

Especially after Ma Liao came to power, he made great efforts to govern and promote reforms, which expanded the business of the Ma family to the territory of the gods, and promoted the further prosperity of the Ma family.

Today's Ma family not only has countless war horses, cattle and sheep, but also a large ethnic group with more than 3000 people.

The number of guards formed by the Ma family has reached a thousand people. In addition, the Ma family also has many young and middle-aged laborers. The string controllers of the Ma family can be pulled out to fight at any time during the war.

The Ma family's prestige has also reached its peak, and everyone in the Northern Liang area knows about it.

Standing on the high slope where the Ma family resided, Ma Liao looked at the large green grassland and felt happy.

Sitting opposite Ma Liao are some of Ma Liao's wives.

Although the Ma family is a well-known family, due to the year-round contacts with the Qiang people, there are many people in the family who marry the Qiang people.

Among Ma Liao's several wives, half of them are of Guangqiang descent. Among them, Yurou is Ma Liao's eldest wife, and she also gave birth to Ma Liao's most outstanding eldest son, Ma Yu.

Ma Yu was standing on the grass, urging his younger brothers and sisters to practice martial arts.

Several younger brothers and sisters are too young to stand upright and fall down when the wind blows, but they have to accept the rigorous training of the elder brother, and they are so wronged that they are about to cry.

At this time, there were two teams galloping rapidly from the west and south directions.

These are the two young guards of the Ma family. The teenagers in the team control the best war horses of the Ma family, galloping past, raising smoke and dust all over the place.

Ma Liao couldn't help frowning.

Ma Yu stopped his urging, took a step across, and stood in front of his younger brothers and sisters.

Looking at the galloping horses, he shouted angrily: "Bastard!"

"Have you dismounted quickly?"

The teenagers on the horses were frightened by Ma Yu's stare and roar, so they quickly reined in their horses and hovered. The horse's hooves stomped a few times in the air and stopped in front of Ma Yu.

"Patriarch, something is wrong!"

The knights from the south arrived later, learned to behave, and started to slow down early.

In the end, he also jumped off the horse's back, rolled easily and lost his strength, and skillfully knelt in front of Ma Liao: "Patriarch, something is wrong!"

Why do you still learn how to speak?

The boy in the west glared at the man behind, showing dissatisfaction.
