Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

"General, you..." Ma Dai didn't know what to say. At this moment, he felt like he was on a pirate ship.

"At least bring more people,"

When he was observing filial piety in Shu, Ma Dai heard that Ma Su was a general with a very vigorous and vigorous fighting style. After more than half a year in Longyou, he frightened the Qiang people into submission and became the new Shenwei General.

At that time, Ma Dai felt that General Ma was really brave, just like his older brother. So when the observance of filial piety was over and Fei Yi was about to take office as the governor of Yongzhou, he took him with him.

Ma Dai believed that by following General Ma, it would not be long before he could gather together his former troops and be active on the battlefield again.

But now, Ma Dai feels that this idea is a bit too naive.

I can indeed put together the story, but the prerequisite is to survive.

With Ma Su's configuration, Ma Dai doubted whether he would be glorious in the first battle if he followed.

"There's no way, Bo Zhan, if we have three states to raise taxes and raise troops, don't you think I don't want to bring more people?" Ma Di could see Ma Dai's deep suspicion, but he could only shake his head lightly and said.

"If I had enough food, I wouldn't be able to bring only these people."

Ma Dai doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, but who doesn't want to enjoy the feeling of holding a large army and going on an expedition?

When fighting in Chencang before, Ma Su was so happy when he led thousands of people to fight with tens of thousands of people. Ma Su liked that feeling very much and wished he could play like this every day.

But, once the fantasy time is over, Ma Su will have to face astronomical amounts of food. Longyou has just been conquered, and we are making every effort to organize production and construction. We need grain everywhere.

Although Ma Su wanted to commit suicide, he was too embarrassed to mobilize a large army to conquer the Qiang at this time. This would only make the poor Longyou even poorer.

After all, no one reimbursed him for military expenses, and the only place to pay military expenses was Longyou.

To be fair, Ma Su does not consider himself a good person. He has a flexible moral bottom line.

But he couldn't do it if he was asked to fight regardless of the life and death of the leaders of Guizhou below.

However, the Qiang must still be conquered. These ethnic minorities entrenched in the territory have always been a hidden danger. So Ma Su had to take this step and start taking the specialization route.

In fact, there are no difficulties in the world, but the word poverty cannot be avoided.

After hearing Ma Su's words, Ma Dai quickly understood what he meant. Now is not the time when he and his brother were bandits in Xiliang. They still have to learn to live frugally.

"But Bozhan doesn't need to worry. Although I, Ma Su, like to take risks, I am definitely skilled." Ma Su waved his hand and explained to Ma Dai.

"I, Ma Su, like stability the most!"

"I have prepared some novel gadgets for my cavalry guards. With those things, I believe it will not be a problem to defeat the Qiang and Di people!"

After handing over power to Fei Yi, Ma Su continued to fight against the Qiang.

Among the five counties of Longyou, the two Qiang ethnic groups in Longxi County were dealt with by Ma Su, and basically all their tribesmen were moved out to work in the fields. However, there were still a few Qiang tribes scattered in Longyou, so Ma Di planned to attack their tribes with light troops.

The first target is the Shaodang Qiang people located in Anding County.

This Qiang tribe is the largest Qiang tribe except the Eastern Qiang, and it has also become semi-agricultural. However, due to natural disasters and military chaos, the Shaodang Qiang people often took the opportunity to go down the mountain to plunder, and their relationship with the Han people remained acrimonious.

After Wei Yan supervised the settlement of the county, he led his troops and beat them up, and they basically became honest. But Ma Su is not one who likes to leave hidden dangers, and it's time to hammer them.

Ma Su led more than a hundred of his bodyguards and rode all the way to Wushi County, Anding County. While sending a message to Wei Yan, he began to make arrangements to find a guide.

The most difficult thing about dealing with the Qiang people is not to fight them, but how to catch them. Most of the Qiang and Di tribes are nomadic on horseback, sometimes in the plains and sometimes in the mountains. It is not easy to catch them.

But this is no longer difficult for Ma Su. Because of his previous military expedition to Longyou and his powerful deeds among the Qiang and Hu, many Qiang and Di people took the initiative to join him.

Among them were many Shaodang Qiang people. When they heard that Ma Di was going to attack their own tribe, they immediately got on the pole and served as guides.

However, Ma Dai was very cautious about this. He knew the habits of the Qiang people very well after living in Longyou for several years. These Qiang people have no credibility and are capricious. Even his brother cannot completely trust them.

"General Shenwei! We are all people who escaped from the tribe, and we know the location of the tribe very well! Don't worry about hiring us!" Several Qiang people brought by Ma Di patted their chests and promised, and each of them made Ma Su swear. Dai felt even more unsure.

"General, the Qiang people are rebellious and capricious, so you should be more careful!" Ma Dai grabbed Ma Su and seriously advised him.

"Don't worry about this! Even if they lie to me, I am still confident to lead the soldiers to fight out!" Ma Di didn't care, he said to Ma Dai.

"What's more, don't doubt the people you use, don't trust the people you employ! Since you let them be your guides, you must have the most basic trust!"

"Even if we were given three courages, we wouldn't dare to deceive General Shenwei!" Several Qiang and Di people expressed their anger.

"If General Shenwei can't trust us, he can kill us at any time!"

Like Ma Su, there are not many people who treat Qiang people, Han people, and Hu people all the same, and are willing to give the Qiang people a way to survive. People are not blind. When a leader sincerely works for them, the Qiang people will also remember his good deeds.

Seeing Ma Su's way of handling it, it was difficult for Ma Dai to understand. However, after hearing that Ma Su had always had this habit, he still shook his head helplessly.

This general is really hard to understand.

On a sunless night, Shaodang, a leader of the Qiang tribe, had just returned to camp as a nomad. The tired Qiang people all relaxed and returned to their tents, ready to rest.

Except for a few sentries in the entire tribe, most Qiang people have relaxed their vigilance.

The entire tribe, including women, children, old and young, numbered thousands of people, all living in one place. In the middle of the tent is the tent of the Qiang tribe leader and his trusted family.

If nothing else happened, this night would be just a peaceful night for the Qiang tribe.

However, when the sentry Qiang soldiers were bored and on guard, they suddenly discovered that there were some reflections in several places in the pitch-black mountainous area outside.

If it were replaced by a Han army sentry post, the enemy attack would have been called out by now. But these Qiang soldiers didn't know much, they just poked their heads curiously to see something.

However, in just a moment, they could no longer see it. Because several crossbow arrows shot out from the darkness and penetrated directly through their thin armor.

"Do it!" Ma Su ordered immediately when he saw that the sneak attack was successful. More than a hundred knights got on their horses, drew their sabers and rushed out after Ma Su.

This raid will be Ma Su's test of a new military unit.
