This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 345 Congratulations
Three thousand horse elites hoisted the flag.

On the prairie, the dust is flying.

Almost all young and middle-aged people living on the grasslands are good at riding and shooting. They are herdsmen when they dismount, and warriors when they are on horses.

The leader Ma Liao's face was ashen, very ugly.

Beside him is Ma Yu, in white robe and silver armor, holding a spear and riding a fine horse, like a speeding meteor.

"Father, don't worry."

Ma Yu's voice was powerful and his tone was calm, without any trace of nervousness.

Ma Liao shook his head and sighed slightly: "Yu'er, things are not that simple."

"The two forces came together, what do you think they are for?"

Ma Yu knew this, and the 17-year-old Ma Yu blurted out, showing displeasure: "Didn't they take a fancy to my Ma family's [-] war horses? They want to use the Ma family's war horses to gather a cavalry force." .”

"One hundred thousand war horses is just one of them."

Ma Liao's eyes flickered slightly, looking to the west.

With the Ma family's elite, the large troops in the west can already be seen.

At the end of the plain, a black line was seen.

"The real situation is probably worse than it is now."

"What I'm worried about is that they came here for the Ma family's animal breeding technique. If the Qiang people take the Ma family's animal breeding technique, based on the number of their war horses, their combat power will be even higher."

Over the past few years, the Qiang people have been obtaining the animal breeding skills of the Ma family both openly and secretly.

But the Ma family's animal breeding is extremely strict, and ordinary horse breeders only know how to raise them. As for how to raise a war horse as strong and fierce as the Ma family's, that is a unique skill.

It is a secret technique handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation in the Ma family, and even Ma Yu, who is not yet an adult, has not known it yet.

"But now, both sides are here, shouldn't we withdraw our troops and watch the battle?" Ma Yu thought of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

There was a voice beside him, who immediately objected: "No, just sit back and watch, absolutely not."

This is a middle-aged man, wearing a blue scribe robe.

Ma Liao's sworn brother Bai Jing.

In the past, Bai Jing traveled to the Central Plains and went to Lushan Academy to study Chinese culture. He is a rare scholar in Beiliang, and he is also a descendant of a family. Therefore, he became a brother with Ma Liao and has a very close relationship.

The Bai family is different from the Ma family. The Bai family is in the private salt business.

Because there is little salt in Xizhou, salt is a valuable item in Xizhou, and the price is very expensive.

There are several families in Xizhou. They are aristocratic families on the surface, but they are all running private salt business secretly.

There is no technical content in the private salt business. It is nothing more than to seize enough markets and have enough stable supply and sales channels.

When the young Ma Yu heard what Uncle Bai said, his face was a little unhappy.

He stared at Bai Jing, wanting to hear what the "adults" were thinking.

"The Qiang iron cavalry and the imperial army are fighting here. No matter whether they help anyone or not, it will annoy these two families."

"Especially if the imperial army is really lost in Beiliang, it will be very unfavorable to the Patriarch and the King of Liang."

"In a word, head-on confrontation is not good."

Ma Yu didn't quite understand Bai Jing's words.

He doesn't understand how to take the blame for doing nothing?

"Do you want to let the enemy kill you?"

If this is the choice, then he would rather lead the Ma family and turn against this unfair world, but with the spear in his hand, who can sit on the horse, who in the world can stop it?

"Brother Bai is right."

"You can't just sit back and watch the two sides fight here, at least not in the Ma family's horse farm, otherwise neither the Qiang people nor the imperial court can justify it."

Ma Liao's face was ugly. After all, the strength of the Ma family was too weak.

Qiang people have [-] iron cavalry, and the imperial court is also full of powerful generals. The two forces are like giants and furious, and they can crush the Ma family with just a whiff.

This kind of aggrieved, young Ma Yu did not understand, he was still immersed in the fantasy of personal bravery.

In the Ma family, in a small place like Beiliang, individual bravery can indeed solve many problems.

But no matter how brave an individual is, what is it in the face of the general trend of the world and the rolling wheels of history?
Ma Liao didn't say everything, for fear of dampening the enthusiasm of his eldest son.

Ma Yu didn't say any more, as the horse cavalry galloped, the Qiang troops coming from the west were getting closer and closer.

"It turns out that it's King Dan coming here!"

"Ma Liao is far away, welcome, forgive me, forgive me!"

Riding on a tall horse, Ma Liao galloped out, bringing only Ma Yu and Bai Jing, and came before the Qiang army.

The Qiang army was originally hesitating whether to go straight to the southeast corner.

Now when Ma Liao stopped him, King Dan stopped giving orders.

"Ma Liao, don't do this with me, you Qianyuan people like to play this kind of nonsense the most!"

Dan Wang and Ma Liao are very familiar and have known each other for many years.

The voice of the Ma family has reached Mobei, and is quite famous among the Qiang people.

The two are about the same age and have known each other since childhood.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite!"

"Here you come, what gift do you bring? Ma's birthday banquet, how can he let King Dan come to congratulate him in person?"

Ma Liao was very excited, stepped forward two steps, and saluted King Dan's chest.

The chest touching salute is one of the common etiquettes of the grassland nomads, and King Dan subconsciously responded with the chest rubbing salute.

I froze in place.

Ma Liao's 35th birthday party?
This was unexpected by King Dan. He looked at Ma Liao and saw that Ma Liao was very excited, his lips were trembling a little, and there was no hypocrisy in his eyes.

This made King Dan a little embarrassed. Men on the grassland still value these etiquettes.

Although he didn't intend to come to Ma's house to congratulate him, Ma Liao seems to have misunderstood him now.

is that true?

King Dan looked at Mario suspiciously again.

Ma Liao opened his mouth and said: "Our Ma family is celebrating the fifth birthday. This year, Xuhuo is 35 years old. To be congratulated by King Dan is really a blessing."

Ma Liao moved out his age, and he was really 35 years old.

Moreover, the birthday party he mentioned was not fake. There was a birthday party in the next few days.

King Dan glanced around, hesitated for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Since it is Brother Ma's birthday party, we must come to congratulate him. We Qiang people are more honest, and we don't have anything good to give you, so we brought some Some Mobei specialties."

They were here to fight for the Ma family, if they could win the Ma family's favor through the Ma family's birthday banquet.

Thus forming an impact on the overall aristocratic power in Xizhou, which is much more useful than killing a 3000-person imperial court division.

After thinking about it for a while, King Dan decided to go to Ma's house first as a "guest". Anyway, he has five thousand elite cavalry in his hands, and he can walk sideways throughout Beiliang without being afraid of anyone at all.

Ma Liao is overjoyed, is it done?
Sure enough, the Qiang people are more down-to-earth. They said that they have a birthday banquet, so they will have a birthday banquet.

After thinking about it, he felt quite a headache, how to deal with Cao Suna in the south?
While thinking, he walked to King Dan's side.

He started talking and laughing with King Dan, and led King Dan's troops to the northeast.

"King Dan, don't worry, I have already made arrangements in the northern part of the racecourse, and we have made arrangements for our Qiang brothers. I promise that the trip to Beiliang will not be in vain!"

Dan Wang smiled slightly, didn't say good or bad, and let Ma Liao arrange it.

Ma Liao took care of King Dan and gave Bai Jing a wink.

Bai Jing understood, taking advantage of the fact that the Ma family and the Qiang army joined forces, he secretly led dozens of cavalry, left the army, and ran to the southeast.

Dozens of riders had just run out on the grassland for half a stick of incense, when a rider chased after them.

The young man in white robe and silver armor, sitting on his horse, was extremely handsome, and easily caught up with Bai Jing and the others.

"Uncle Bai, wait for me."

With a gloomy face, Ma Yu followed Bai Jing and the others.

Bai Jing glanced at Ma Yu in surprise, but didn't say much.

With a "hmm", he led Ma Yu straight to the southeast.

At this moment, on the south side of the racecourse, Cao Su's army had almost entered the Ma family's garrison.

Many white tents of the Ma family can be seen on the grassland.

The tents are like white flowers, dotted on the green grassland.

Cao Su was dressed in black armor and walked at the forefront of the army.

Beside him are Zhang Ke, Wu Ming, Qing Xiao, Li Li and other civil and military subordinates.

With the army at his side, Cao Su took his time and drove his troops northward.

Since the three thousand elites under his command stepped into the Ma family's garrison, they have already noticed that this place is different. The war horses, cattle and sheep raised by the Ma family can be seen everywhere.

"Lord Zhaowu, the Ma family and the Qiang army will join forces and head east."

Soon, the spies under his command came to report Cao Su's battlefield situation.

As soon as this remark came out, the soldiers under Cao Su were a little surprised, subconsciously thinking that the Ma family had colluded with the Qiang people.

"This Ma family, who has been favored by the emperor, can easily join forces with the Qiang people?"

As a scholar, Wu Ming was very angry, and immediately yelled out loudly, complaining about the "little man's behavior" of the Ma family.

"The Ma family has [-] iron cavalry. If the Ma family joined forces with the Qiang people, wouldn't that have nearly ten thousand cavalry?"

Zhang Ke was secretly surprised and looked at Cao Su.

Cao Su smiled calmly: "This Ma family is quite interesting."

"It's just right for them to join forces, I'm afraid I won't find them."

Seeing that the big brothers misunderstood his meaning, the spies quickly explained: "My lords, the Ma family and the Qiang people did not join forces directly, but went east together, and did not attack us, and seemed to be going to the north of the racecourse. "

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm afraid of these 8000 people?"

"To tell you the truth, I won't even frown if I get another [-]."

After Zhang Ke listened, he was very angry and yelled at his younger brother.

The younger brother was ashamed, begged for forgiveness repeatedly, and lowered his head.

"Hey!"

And Cao Su came out to stop Zhang Ke: "The little brother didn't mean it either, so Captain Zhang shouldn't punish him too much."

All the scouts are Zhang Ke's subordinates, and Zhang Ke is used to training a few more words on weekdays.

The Tanma didn't expect Cao Su to speak for him, and couldn't help but raised his head showing a touch of excitement, wishing he could be ashamed and willing to die.

At this time, light smoke and dust appeared in the northwest direction.

I saw dozens of riders galloping from the northwest.

"It's the horse cavalry!"

Zhang Ke whispered beside Cao Su.

Facing the blowing wind and sand, Cao Su narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to stop it, and the army under his command immediately stopped in place.

Silently, waiting for the dozens of riders to rush over.
