Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Ji had no intention of forcing Ma Xinde. Although Zhang Ji was informed from Chang'an that Ma Xinde was a high-level official in Guishang, Zhang Ji was on guard. But the more he was on guard, the more Zhang Ji realized that Ma Xinde Xin De is powerful. This person is on the same level as those real top wise men of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an.

"It's rare that you didn't directly ask me where Fulward went." Masinde poured a bowl of wine, drank it quietly, threw away the pottery bowl, and looked at Zhang Ji and said.

"You will naturally say what you want to say. At least I can't do anything to you if you don't want to say it. The longer I stay with you, the more I will realize the gap between us. There is such a person in Kushan." Zhang Ji replied calmly to Masinde.

"After all, it is a force that can develop from being beheaded and expelled by the tribal leader to a force that covers thousands of miles and has tens of millions of people. At such a scale, if some amazing people cannot be born, this country will still be Is it necessary to exist?" Masinde sighed, "The Han Empire is very strong, but this is not the basis of your arrogance."

Zhang Ji nodded after hearing this, "Then are you going to stay in the Tibetan area, or are you?"

"Of course I'm going to Chang'an to enjoy the blessings." Ma Xinde answered very directly, "The price offered by Chen Zichuan is too high, and I can do it. Everything I didn't enjoy in the first seventy years, I can't enjoy it in the next two years." I am going to make up for it in ten years. Rangarajan has grandchildren, and it is time for me to be a human being.”

Zhang watched Assam guarding Masinde and leaving, but he neither stopped him nor sent anyone to protect him, because it was not necessary. For what happened next, it would be better for them to leave.

"Can it really stand out?" Assam asked with some worry as he looked at the Qiang people who were not well-equipped with weapons and equipment, but were obviously united and willing to die.

"Weren't you planning to use Fulward's head as a reward for promotion?" Masinde asked with interest. The relationship between Assam and Fulward was not good at all.

"That's because you didn't know that you had prepared a retreat, and you realized that Fulward was on a different path from us, and he hasn't left yet." Assam said his thoughts honestly, "Now you have a retreat. Now that we are ready, Fulward has also left. If I consider this matter as a colleague, after all, I have worked with him for so many years. "

"We have worked together for so many years." Masinde looked up at the sky. The clear blue sky in the distance made Masinde feel more open-minded.

"Although I can't stand many of his actions, it's more because of his identity and status, as well as his past experience. If anything, Fulward informed the soldiers under his command and risked his own life to lead the soldiers back to Guishang. I guess I can't do it." Assam said with a bit of sadness, "Commander, after watching Fulward leave, I know what I want to do?"

"Until then, no one knows whether they can do it." Masinde said with an indifferent expression, "In fact, Fulward, who took these soldiers to Tibet a few years ago, would definitely not have thought that he I will take a gamble and take these soldiers back."

"Until then, no one knows whether he is a hero or a bear." Masinde calmly concluded, "In my opinion, no matter what choice you make, it is not wrong. Dying for your beliefs is a choice. Living a good life is also a choice, everyone has his own ambitions.”

"I am living a humble life." Assam recalled the scene when Fulward left, followed Masinde for a few steps, and suddenly asked.

"Are you a noble of the Great Yuezhi?" Masinde asked casually.

"No." Assam understood Masinde's words.

"Then why are you empathic? You have sold your life, and they don't regard you as one of their own. Why do you have to be so humble? Just live for yourself with your head held high." Masinde withdrew his eyes to look at the sky, very plainly. Said, "Be an ordinary person. When you don't enjoy the treatment that others have, don't shoulder the responsibilities that others should shoulder."

"Oh, I heard that Han Dynasty has a large pasture in the north. When I was a child, I wanted to have a large pasture. I will go to the north to raise cattle and sheep. I remember you told me that you are good at herding. Assam said with a somewhat nostalgic tone. As a Sage, he has never had the opportunity to herd cattle since he was born in the mountainous area of ​​​​Beigui. The mountainous areas of Beigui have never been suitable for grazing.

"That's fine." Masinde nodded to Assam, "It's enough to have something to do. If you don't have any ambitions, that's fine. Our mission is over and it's time to rest."

Assam nodded and followed Masinde to the Qiang village, preparing to wait for a while. After confirming the news about Fuwode and the overall situation, he went to Chang'an for no other reason than to say goodbye. A thread that involves Kushan.

"Is Mr. Masinde from Kushan?" After Masinde left, Yang servant looked at Zhang Ji with some surprise and asked. You must know that it was he who personally took Masinde to Chang'an during the last court meeting. Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be from Kushan.

"He is from the Han Dynasty, but he was lurking in Guishang, and now he has retired." Zhang Zi said without thinking, and Yang Pu had no doubts about it.

"Have the investigators found any traces of Fulward?" After Zhang Ji answered Yang Pu's curious inquiry, he naturally changed the subject.

"It's hard to be sure. The enemy had already led his men to retreat in scattered groups before the Xiangxiong Royal City was captured. Although Fuward was the key target, the enemy seemed to have made preparations early. The locals we found gave several escape directions, and these people obviously did not lie." Yang Pu said with a headache, "We now suspect that these escape directions may be deliberate."

"With so many of us, we still care about his deliberate deception. A team of 100 people will check all these possible defense lines. Every half an hour, each exploration team will send one person back. In this way, if the number of people reporting back from a certain team suddenly stops, it can be determined that the direction is definitely the target, or at least it is a bait." Lin Dai on the side sneered and said, what else is there to think about? The Qiang people have a large population, so of course they should maximize their human resource advantages.

"In this case, it is easy to cause personnel losses. If the team sent out for reconnaissance really encounters the enemy, it will definitely be wiped out. We have already won a great victory. It may be better to leave the rest to the border defense legion." Zhang Ji agreed with Lin Dai's judgment, but considering that even if the resistance of the Kushan soldiers was very weak in this battle, the Qiang people have lost thousands of people so far. Now that they have basically won a great victory, there is really no need to consume human resources.

"It's okay. We have already issued resettlement funds in advance. If they really die, we will issue another one. It's not a problem. Fuward is more dangerous." Lin Dai said without caring. After all, he didn't even care about his own life in the matter of attacking Fuward.

Zhang Ji had nothing to say. He had more of a right of advice in terms of combat. How to fight still depended on the ideas of these tribal leaders. Lin Dai was so determined now, and Zhang Ji didn't have any good solutions.

As for wanting to avoid losses, if the Qiang people themselves don't care about losses, Zhang Ji really doesn't have a good way. Although in Zhang Ji's opinion, the credit of this annihilation of Xiangxiong alone is enough for the Qiang people to eat for twenty years, but for the Qiang people, Fu Ward is the biggest enemy.

"Chief, we found traces of a small number of cavalry passing through in the southwest." Just when Zhang Ji, Yang Pu, Lin Dai and others were discussing how to deal with the Kushan captives next, what kind of food to arrange for them, and how to let the local army of Yizhou or Xinzhou to hand over the captives, the young and strong tribesmen of the southern Di people came to inform Lin Dai with an urgent war report.

"Cavalry?" Yang Pu looked at Lin Dai, and he had already guessed it in his heart. He didn't confirm it directly because in the impression of Yang Pu and Lin Dai, Fu Ward's headquarters had been transformed into infantry, and there was no organized cavalry at all.

Now the news sent by the southern Di people is a small number of cavalry, but it is obviously an organized scale, which is somewhat unlikely.

"There aren't many horses in Xiangxiong, and Fuward shouldn't have organized cavalry." Zhang Ji directly told Yang Pu and others the information that Ma Xinde had told him.

"That is to say, Fuward has no large-scale cavalry, just like we know, and is mainly infantry." Lin Dai lowered his eyebrows and thought for a long time, "Send a thousand people to chase them and see what the situation is. Even if they are not Fuward cavalry, as long as they are organized cavalry, they should be paid attention to. Is there any other force in the Tibetan area here that can produce organized cavalry?"

Before Lin Dai's order was passed on, Agui, the Di chieftain in the south, had already led more than 2,000 young and strong men to chase in the direction of the horse hoof prints.

For Agui, it doesn't matter whether this group of cavalry is Fuward's men or a third-party force in Tibet. As long as it is cavalry, he needs to chase and see, because there are few horses in Tibet now, and the Di people and Qiang people are pure horse-riding peoples. Only with war horses can they exert their due strength. At present, this kind of infantry does not even have half of their combat effectiveness.

It would be best if it is Fuward. If not, they can make plans if they find a third-party force.

"What is this?" After chasing for a while, Agui's men found a group of corpses of their own people in front. There are not many, but there are also hundreds of people.

"They were killed quickly. The opponent is very strong, and this is very important." After squatting beside the corpses and checking them, it was found that the brothers of this group of Qiang people were less than 200 meters away from the battle. Although this group of Qiang people is indeed not elite, the scale of more than 100 people was easily wiped out, and they didn't even run 200 meters. This is definitely the top elite.

"Do you have any other suggestions?" After Agui expressed his judgment, he looked at his soldiers and asked.

"Notify the chieftain to send elite cavalry to pursue. This direction is most likely the direction where Fuward evacuated. They are not encountering ordinary elite troops." The old soldier under his command spoke with a serious expression, then dragged a cold corpse, pried open the other's hands, and showed it to Agui, "This is a eagle shooter, three times smelted, killed by two shots."

The Qiang people have very few eagle shooters, who are truly elite. When there was no change in the world, eagle shooters were basically four or five times smelted. This is also the reason why the super-large tribes such as Qing Qiang, Fa Qiang, and Di people who escaped the stranglehold of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry have less than fifty eagle shooters in total.

At the beginning, Lin Dai said that he found fifty eagle shooters to kill Sima Lang because there were only so many eagle shooters in the entire Tibetan tribe, and Lin Dai could not find a few more even if he wanted to.

Later, due to the change of the sky and the influence of the world consciousness curse twice, the Qiang people's archery skills were basically pressed to the third or fourth level, but even the third or fourth level, in the current environment, is also very powerful. As a result, they only shot once, and then the heart mirror was broken, and the person died on the spot.

"Quick, go and notify the big leader, let him mobilize the elite cavalry to pursue, and the others will continue to pursue in this direction with me. Everyone be careful not to encounter an ambush." ​​Agui only thought for a moment and agreed with the suggestion of his old soldiers. He quickly asked his fastest veteran to notify the main force of the Qiang people, and then he led his people to continue the pursuit.

As for what to do if they are caught up and killed, it's nothing to be afraid of. The successor has been chosen this time. If you die, you die. As long as the death is valuable, the Han Dynasty will really pay you. You can't just wait here. What if it rains in front and wipes out the traces?

As a nomad who has lived in Tibet for nearly ten years, Agui is not blind. Although the sky looks dark blue now, the gray-blue color on the horizon has begun to spread. This is the rhythm of rain. In this case, chase after it, bite the trace, and maybe search along the trace. If you don't chase, the heavy rain will sweep over it, and it will be far away, and I'm afraid you won't be able to find it.

"Chase!" After sending two groups of men to inform Lin Dai, Agui personally led the young and strong Di people to chase after it. Fu Ward is good at fighting, right? Come on, I have more than 2,000 young and strong people. I don't believe you can kill them all in one hour. If you can't kill them all, as long as you entangle them, our Qiang main force will come and take revenge.

Agui rushed to the front. In this dangerous situation, only when he rushed to the front can the young and strong Di people fight fearlessly.

More than 30 miles ahead of Agui, an elite cadre under Fu Ward, led by Sidney, was resting. They were originally planning to take a detour to get out of the blockade, but they did not expect to encounter a Qiang search team of 100 people just after they jumped out of the blockade. In desperation, they had to take the initiative and spent a lot of effort to eliminate the Qiang search team.

Several soldiers of their own were killed in the battle, and more than a dozen were slightly injured. There was no way. These Qiang search teams were completely fearless and did not think of retreating. The only guy who ran 200 meters was still carrying a mission to call for help.

If it were not for the small-scale battle, the strength of the internal energy out of the body would have been greatly enhanced. The small team that Fu Ward separated from the south would not have lost a few people.

In order to eliminate the traces, Sidney had to take the brothers who died in the battle to take a detour first, but their mission was to contain the Qiang people and attract their attention, so it didn't matter if they took a detour.

When the news from Agui was sent to Lindai, Zhang Ji and Lindai had already realized that Fuward was breaking out in a scattered way. The seven or eight traces found before were probably left by the scattered teams.

"They actually broke out in a scattered way. They really don't know how to live or die." Lindai said with a ferocious face, "All these areas where the Kushan elites have passed through, send 5,000 people to pursue them. The team with a maximum of 500 people, right? OK, let's see how you run!"

The Qiang people have a lot of troops and now have a complete advantage in troops. In this case, Fuward's division of troops is only good for the Qiang people and not bad.

Fifty thousand Qiang people may lose against 5,000 people led by Fuward, and even if they win, it will be difficult to take down Fuward, but 5,000 Qiang people will fight against hundreds of Kushan elites led by Fuward, and the probability of winning is very high.

Even if Fuward divides his troops into more fragments, and directly divides them into teams of more than 100 people, then the Qiang people will definitely win with a 10 to 1 advantage in troops.

After all, tactics only make sense when there are more people. Even if the Four Saints brought Sun Bin and five people fought Xiang Yu alone, with a force of five to one, they would still be defeated by Xiang Yu. This is the most clear portrayal of the fact that the number is too small and the tactical significance is lost.

Fifty thousand people rushed out in all directions so quickly. Lin Dai didn't want to use his brain at all, and he was not afraid of stepping into Fu Ward's trap. Since the division of troops is true, then Fu Ward will have fewer troops left anyway. Even if the other party has any ideas, it is nonsense if they don't have the strength.

"The other party is actually cavalry." The Qiang people who have not caught up with Fu Ward's main force gave a unified judgment of the scouts. There is no doubt that it is cavalry.

"Masinde said before that there were no war horses." Zhang Ji frowned. He still believed in Masinde, and the other party really had no need to lie to him.

"Maybe he was riding a yak." Lin Dai sneered.

"How can I not tell the difference between the hoof prints of yaks and war horses?" Yang Pu said dissatisfiedly. He personally participated in the search team and conducted professional research on the traces left by the Kushan elite under Fuward.

"It's not important. Are the traces of the various reconnaissance now converging in the southwest direction?" Lin Dai couldn't refute this, so he changed the subject.

"Yes, we estimate that they want to take the ancient Quma Mountain Road in the Himalayas. Although it is covered with ice and snow, it was indeed an ancient road that could lead to Kushan in the past. Now it is estimated that it is difficult to pass, but Fuward may have a special means of passage." Yang Pu told Lin Dai the results of his speculation, "So we estimate that Fuward may really be preparing to go there."

"It's just a possibility, so don't mobilize other people first, let 50,000 people chase these scattered Kushan elites and see what Fuward can do." Lin Dai lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking. He was not sure whether Fuward would take the ancient road of Quma Mountain. The snow line moved down during the Little Ice Age, causing this road to be basically blocked, and it was difficult to determine whether it was passable.

"I also notified Zhuzhi, and he meant the same thing. Now we should be more conservative, and we can only say that we have captured the scattered forces of Fuward, but we have not seen Fuward himself. Many things are still uncertain, maybe these are all baits." Yang Pu nodded and said.

The Qiang people wanted to do their best, but Fuward's scattered elites were few in number and more mobile. The Qiang people under their command were basically infantry, and the only cavalry of the legion could not attack at will when Fuward's position was not determined.

Now the Qiang people and Fu Ward are actually competing with each other in determination. Before Fu Ward appears, all the means are just tests. Only when Fu Ward really appears, the Qiang people will attack with all their strength.

"The mobility of the infantry is too slow. The enemy has fewer people and is more elite than us. The mobility is obviously stronger. It is difficult for us to catch up." The tribal leader of the Di people reported to the commander Zhu Zhi who was destroying Fu Ward with an extremely ugly face.

"Keep chasing, don't stop. Our encirclement is about to take shape. Fu Ward's scattered elite are also gathering in one direction. The official time is coming soon. Fu Ward is about to appear. Order all the troops to be ready." Zhu Zhi ordered with a cold expression.

"It should be Quma Mountain. Now there is only one ancient road in Quma Mountain where Fu Ward's subordinates are fleeing. Other places are impossible to pass. Let's send a team to Quma Mountain to block the opponent first." The Di leader made his own judgment.

"This intention is too direct, so direct that it is unrealistic. Fu Ward is not a fool. His manpower is not enough to fight us to the death." Zhuzhi shook his head and said, "If they can't reach Quma Mountain, Fu Ward's headquarters will soon expose their intentions."

If there is still some hope for Fu Ward with 30,000 people to fight against 120,000 or 30,000 Qiang people, then it is pure nonsense for Fu Ward with 5,000 people to fight against 120,000 or 30,000 Qiang people. If Fu Ward dares to fight head-on, he will only die. Therefore, the obvious route of Quma Mountain is impossible.

"Next, we will go north." Sidney, who was obviously a little tired, ordered the elite of the headquarters who had successfully gathered two team detachments and reached a scale of 500 people, "Life and death will depend on what happens next. Our mobility needs to be raised to the limit next, and we need to quickly join the 11 detachments along the way and pass through this possible blockade gap."

"The general is waiting for us in the northern Qiangtang." Sidney said with a firm look.

That's right, Fuward did not go south, but chose to lead half of his men under the cover of Sidney and others to build a fake Xiangxiong vassal army and go north to the Qiangtang grassland. Even if it was the Xiangxiong vassal army, it would not be so easy to escape at the moment, but who can help but have accurate information about the Kushan elite.
