Chapter 1190 Do you want to bring it to me?


    As the night recedes, the night of wind, fire, blood and iron also comes to an end.


    The camp has been completely burned down, but a large number of Qiang people were buried with them.


    ?Of course, there are also those sword and shield bearers and spearmen at Watergate...


    Although the victory was a great victory, the losses were still considerable.


    What kind of battle damage ratio can satisfy people?


    Perhaps to the commander-in-chief, it is just a numerical value, but to these sword-shielders and spearmen who fell on the banks of the Qingni River, it is the entire value of their lives.


    In fact, the number of men and horses brought by Fei Qian was far less than it seemed at night.


    Holding torches with both hands, walking side by side, with the roaring flames of the camp and the beating of drums, the Qiang people led by Ma Chao were at a loss. In addition, Ma Chao happened to be trapped in the camp. In order to rescue Ma Chao, Ma Tie and Pang De both They were frantically trying to find a way out, and there was no time to organize and restrain the troops. Therefore, the subconscious instinct of these Qiang people to escape from danger took over. They didn''t even bother to take a look. They only knew how to look around. Escape.


    ?Fei Qian and Xu Huang had previously discussed three sets of plans. Although the plans were different, one thing was the same, that is, once the camp was on fire, Fei Qian would definitely send suspicious soldiers to intimidate Ma Chao.


    ??If Ma Chao fell into the trap, it would be the last straw for Ma Chao''s subordinates. On the other hand, if Xu Huang was tight and the camp fell, it would also disperse the strength of Ma Chao''s troops and buy Xu Huang more time to cross the river.


    Therefore, the timing of setting off the fire was completely controlled by Xu Huang. In order to let more Qiang people fall into the camp, Xu Huang chose not to give the order until the last moment.


    There are benefits, of course. When Fei Qian came up with suspicious soldiers all over the mountains and plains, almost half of the Qiang soldiers fell into the camp, and the rest naturally had no desire to resist and fight. This time, the attack led by Ma Chao It was a complete failure.


    What are the disadvantages...


    Looking at the piles of corpses at the water gate, and looking at Xu Huang with a smoky look on his face, he knew it.


    Green smoke curls up.


    The smell of burnt meat permeated the battlefield.


    ??The big-headed soldier who usually couldn''t move when he saw the broth was now frowning tightly.


    ?Fei Qian couldn’t remember the first time he saw a human body burned by fire.


    Water occupies a large part of the human body, and if people who were burned to coke in the fire scene, if they had not seen it with their own eyes, they might not believe that they would shrink so small, just like those who were burned to death. A monkey, not a human being.


    Faced with such a situation, no matter how disgusted the soldiers were, they were still checking carefully.


    "General! Captain!" Suddenly a soldier rushed toward Fei, waving his hands and shouting, "Here, there is a spear here, it seems a little different..."


    It is indeed different.


    An ordinary spear is actually just an iron tip, nailed to a wooden handle, and it is considered a piece of standard equipment. It is the cheapest and most widely available, and it is also the one with the largest sales among the Feiqian caravans. Weapon.


    ?The spear in front of me, with its short blade-like tip, is obviously completely different from an ordinary spear.


    "It''s Fubo Ma''s spear!" Xu Huang had fought against Ma Chao, so he was naturally familiar with this spear.


    ?Fei Qian also recognized the appearance of this spear, because Ma Yan and Ma Yue also used spears of this shape, but...


    Is the burnt corpse next to the spear really Ma Chao?


    The carbonized limbs are twisted, and with a slight touch, the remaining black pieces of meat will fall off, revealing the white bones, just like chickens and ducks that have been stewed in a pot for three or four hours. The bones will fall apart at the slightest touch, and sometimes you can even see the steam of pink meat under the carbonized shell.


    "Check it out. Is there a gold seal or a jade seal?" Fei Qian pointed at the dark corpse on the side of the spear and said, "Maybe it''s something valuable..."


    The soldier who discovered the spear immediately started to look through it with great interest, without feeling any disgust at all. Perhaps to him, this dark, charred corpse was actually just like the charred corpse inside. Almost like chicken or duck.


    What’s more, if it was really a big shot, even though he was not the one who killed him, the reward would definitely be indispensable...


    The soldier reached out and touched the charred corpse, and accidentally punctured the belly of the corpse. For a moment, it was like a newly roasted beggar''s chicken falling to the ground. The mud seal was broken, and the roasted internal organs were all exposed It was steaming and all rolled out...


    The soldier seemed to be invisible, searching his intestines, liver and stomach, which were still a little warm.


    "No need to search..." Fei Qian frowned and said, "...this...isn''t it."


    Even though the gold and silver jewelry would melt and deform in the fire, this corpse with no valuables in his body was definitely not a big shot, maybe he was just a guard holding a spear for Ma Chao.


    Only the spear was seen, but no body was seen, which shows that Ma Chao probably did not die in the sea of ????fire.


    ?This guy with a lot of luck.


    Xu Huang on the side could not help but show a disappointed look on his face. If Ma Chao was trapped in the camp, Xu Yu''s death would be more valuable, but now...


    Fei Qian patted Xu Huang on the shoulder and said, "It doesn''t matter. Even if Ma Mengqi hid this time, he won''t be able to hide next time... What''s more, he even threw away his own weapon... which shows how embarrassed he was at that time..."


    "Junhou..." Xu Huang stared at this special spear and was silent for a moment, then he seemed to be talking to Fei Qian, or to himself, or to someone, "... I must have this hand." "Blade this beast!"


    Fei Qian glanced at Xu Huang and made a sound that was unclear whether it was a sigh or an agreement: "Well... Gongming, what are your suggestions for the current strategy?"


    Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with his mood, Xu Huang quickly gathered his thoughts, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although the Ma family is defeated at the moment, there are many thieves in Xiliang, so we must not rush in. In accordance with the opinions of my subordinates, I will With the power of this battle and a few more war horses, we can go down the river by land and water, join the Yangping reinforcements, and then make a decision..."


    "Good. That''s it..." Fei Qian nodded and looked at the captured war horses outside the camp''s wreckage. His heart suddenly moved. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Send some war horses to the Di Ren Wang''s nest... Even if it’s just a friendly gesture…”


    ……………


    “Goodwill?”


    “What did General Zhengxi say?”


    “Giving it to you for free? No requirements at all?” Sitting in the lobby of the Di people’s village, Wang Hu, a Di person, felt a little baffled.


    The King of Di Ren, Nest, wears a tiger skin robe, revealing two arms with bulging muscles and some unknown tattoos. He has a beard and a ring of hair in the middle of his huge head. , all shaved cleanly, with extremely strong bodies, big shoulders and round waists, and extremely powerful.


    The spacious throne can basically accommodate two ordinary people, but it still feels a bit crowded for Di Renwang sitting alone.


    It seemed that this was the first time that Diren Wang Ke had encountered such a situation. He couldn''t help but scratch the hair on the top of his head, but he couldn''t think of a solution.


    Although the Di people are good at mountain warfare, it does not mean that the Di people look down on war horses and do not recognize the value of war horses. You must know that the war horses of the Han Dynasty are probably as valuable as the cars of later generations. Not only is the purchase price high, but the subsequent maintenance fees are also not small. Therefore, whether it is for Di people or others, Regardless of the personnel, the hundred war horses sent by General Zhengxi this time are indeed a big gesture...


    The Di and Qiang people also have many contacts, and I have heard that among the Qiang people, there is now a kind of expensive "sweater" spread from Bingbei, which is said to be made from the wool of dozens, or even hundreds of heads. Woven…


    For Wang Ke, it is simply a waste of money!


    The skin of a sheep can be used to make clothes, people can eat the meat and drink soup, and even the bones can be taken to feed dogs. Yet these guys actually exchanged dozens or even hundreds of sheep for what kind of "sweaters"?


    ??What is this if not a prodigal?


    ?Then the source of the Qiang people''s ruin was the expedition to the west.


    ?Then this general who conquered the West actually sent a hundred war horses without any request?


    ??Is this General Zhengxi really trying to show his goodwill?


    Or have any other ideas?


    Diren Wang Ke scratched a tuft of hair on his head, as if he wanted to make the tuft of hair disappear...


    “Your Majesty, this war horse…”


    "Hey! Let''s go, let me go take a look..." Diren Wang Hu stood up and started to walk out. Since I still couldn''t figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, I simply didn''t think about it. There was no reason not to eat the meat that was brought to my mouth. What''s more, even if my own tribe didn''t use it, I could make a lot of profit by reselling it!


    “Oh, Your Majesty, it’s no good... You can’t go...” The head of the Wu clan in Di Rennei who was handling affairs on the side quickly stopped him and said, “My Majesty, have you forgotten... You are still sick...”


    "I''m fine, how can I..." Diren Wang Hu said halfway before he realized, "...Ah, yes, I''m sick and I don''t see any outsiders... This... um..."


    "Hey! Take it! Take it!" King Diren walked around the lobby twice, clapped his hands and said, "Well, tell General Zhengxi''s envoy that I am grateful for Zhengxi''s kindness, but his body has not recovered yet. I can’t see him anymore! By the way, it would be a courtesy to give him two baskets of good dried meat…”


    "By the way, my subordinate mentioned some time ago that some of the tools and equipment in the village were damaged and can no longer be used. This batch of war horses just happened to come. Take a few to replace them with new tools..." King Di Ren returned. Sitting down on the throne, he said with some emotion, "Don''t tell me, General Zhengxi, this ''friendly'' man, is really... ugh, a rich man... tsk tsk..."


    "Who says otherwise? The Han people are indeed much richer than us..." Lord Neiwu of the Di people said with a smile, "...it is impossible to say that these hundred war horses are valuable to us, but not to the general who conquered the west. What a rarity..."


    "Well..." Diren Wang Ke scratched his hair on the top of his head again, "...forget it, that''s it, let''s do it..."


    "Yes, your Majesty..." The five princes of the Di family received the order and retreated.


    ……………


    “My dear nephew…what are you…”


    ?Han Sui looked at Ma Chao, who was shirtless and tied with wattle sticks. Although his face remained surprised, his eyes were changing and flickering.


    ?The Ma Chao in front of him lost his usual handsome appearance. Instead, he was blackened and gray by the fireworks. Even his hair was burned a lot, and it was as messy as a nestle.


    "Uncle! My nephew fell into the trap of the little thief from Zhengxi..." Ma Chao bowed to the ground and said in tears, "...the little thief from Zhengxi provoked and insulted my uncle by the Qingni River. My nephew couldn''t hold back his anger for a moment. Then he led his troops to attack the camp, but unfortunately he was ambushed and set on fire by the Zhengxi thieves... Therefore... my nephew is guilty, and I ask my uncle to punish him severely..."


    Suddenly, the Qiang-headed people sitting around the tent were all startled by the news brought by Ma Chao, and they began to whisper among themselves and chatter among themselves.


    “Hmm…” Han Sui squinted his eyes, stroked his beard, and remained silent.


    ?This thing is too bad.


    What’s terrible is not that Ma Chao was ambushed, but that Ma Chao was ambushing him.


    ??Although Han Sui was wary of Ma Chao before and prepared follow-up measures, after Ma Chao suddenly suffered such a heavy blow, Han Sui''s methods could not be used for a while.


    ?Han Sui and Ma Teng are kowtow brothers who have exchanged their birthdays and horoscopes. They are different from those lip-service brothers...


    In other words, when Han Sui and Ma Teng were burning incense, kowtowing, and praying to God, the eternal famous saying must have been repeated several times, "Do not ask to be born in the same year, same month, and same day, but ask to die in the same year, same month, and same day..."


    Then Ma Teng died.


    ?He Han Sui is still alive and kicking.


    Of course, most people know that the oath made before the gods is probably uncountable, but as so-called brothers, whether they have said such words together or not, the level of this so-called brother is naturally different.


    ?In the Han Dynasty, such brothers were the so-called life-changing friends who could be entrusted to their wives. But now, Ma Teng''s son prostrated himself on the ground and was brought to the front with a thorn stick on his back, as if he accepted the punishment...


    ???Take this opportunity to fall out and kill Ma Chao by marching?


    If you really want to take action, it''s very simple. Even if you don''t want to kill, if you want to take action, even if it''s a stick, it''s not a difficult problem to kill Ma Chao within thirty sticks, but...


    There was indeed a moment when Han Sui had this idea, but he quickly gave it up.


    It''s not that Han Sui is kind-hearted, but that Ma Chao has taken some precautions in advance. Of course, if Han Sui really turns his face away, this so-called precaution will be nothing.


    ?But do you really have to give up the reputation you have built in Xiliang over the years in order to kill Ma Chao?


    ?Han Sui was reluctant to part with him in the end.


    ??If you really want Ma Chao to die, you can''t die in your own hands here...


    You said this campaign to conquer the West, why don''t you fan the flames a little brighter?


    ?However, this is considered a good thing, at least it consumes a lot of Ma''s manpower and strength.


    Han Sui opened his eyes, stood up, walked up to Ma Chao in a few steps, stretched out his hand to help Ma Chao up, with a kind and kind look on his face, and did not mention guilt at all, but said: "Victory and defeat are common matters in the military, good nephew." If you lose this time, you will win next time! Who has never lost a few battles in his life? Let your uncle see if he is injured..."


    “Uncle!” Ma Chao was deeply moved.


    "Okay, let''s not talk anymore. Go wash up and take good care of yourself..." Han Sui smiled heartily, "...as for conquering the West, let your uncle avenge you!"
