Brother Chou led the cavalry camp to escort the property, cattle and sheep back to the Han land first, which was a strategy discussed by Ma Chao and Jia Xu along the way. At this time, not only did the ugly brother secretly take a shortcut back to Fufeng first, but even Jia Xu's old fox was gone-he was going to Chang'an for help.

After exterminating the broken Qiang, Ma Chao, under the persuasion of Jia Xu, gave up his plan to go deep into the hinterland of the grassland alone, and chose to return to Fufeng County safely. Because he knows that the sons of the grassland will not allow anyone to challenge their dignity so much.

Moreover, he had a hunch that tonight, he might face the most turbulent revenge on the prairie.

For no other reason, the 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry did eradicate the Broken Qiang tribe, but it was not encircled and annihilated. The scattered herdsmen will soon bring the news to any part of the prairie.

Since he can find many tribes that have enemies with Poqiang, it is obvious that he will also be retaliated against by those tribes who are friendly with Poqiang.

Therefore, along the way, Ma Chao distributed a small amount of property to those tribes that were friendly to the Han people, not hoping that they would come forward at a critical moment. For the sake of those tribes, it is good that they can not take advantage of the fire to rob at the moment of crisis.

In response to tonight's revenge, Ma Chao discussed with Jia Xu along the way, and finally chose a way to put his death and survive: Jia Xu went to Chang'an for help; The ugly brother escorted the property back to Fufeng secretly; And Ma Chao and Pang De stayed to pull the hatred of those tribes on the grassland.

Long before sending troops to the grassland, Ma Chao asked Han Feng to publicize the news that the Qiang tribe had suffered from the cold disaster, and fabricated the rumor that the Qiang tribe wanted to wash Chang'an in blood and avenge Dong Zhuo's murder of the Qiang tribe. Of course, this rumor can only make Dong Zhuo suspicious, but it may not necessarily make Dong Zhuo send troops. But what if rumors are flying all over the sky and Cai Yong's handwritten letter is added?

The last erroneous performance, although the fake play came true in the end, the thrill caused and the collateral impact in the later stage were also very obvious. Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world, and he is a fanatic with the temperament of 'Han chauvinism'. Under Ma Chao's flickering, Cai Yong immediately wrote a letter about his personal experience in Fufeng County, and the letter simply portrayed the Qiang tribe as a cancer of the Han Dynasty that was mad and angry, as if as a Han person, if anyone did not come to the grassland to kill and plunder the Qiang people, he would be ashamed of his ancestors for 18 generations.

Of course, in Ma Chao's view, the most useful content of this letter is that Cai Yong used his own personal experience to confirm that the Qiang people did suffer a lot of cold last winter......

Ma Chao admired Cai Yong's calligraphy very much, and was also so-so satisfied with the content of his letter, so Starry Night asked Han Feng to ride two horses straight to Chang'an in turn and deliver the letter to Dong Zhuo. And when Dong Zhuo saw this letter, as long as he hadn't arrived home as an idiot, he was probably about to move, right?

Well, assuming that Dong Zhuo is a calm emperor and does not send troops, what if you add Jia Xu's old fox's foolishness?

Although Ma Teng's letter made Dong Zhuo stay in Chang'an, it is undeniable that Jia Xu still has some popularity in Chang'an. With Jia Xu's activities up and down, plus his ability to speak well, I believe that under this multiple role, the probability that Dong Zhuo will not send troops is almost non-existent.

Perhaps, there is no need for Jia Xu to come out at all. The real purpose of letting Jia Xu go to Chang'an is to need Jia Xu to successfully find the mark left by Ma Chao and lead the Chang'an army to relieve the siege! To put it bluntly, this old fox may be a leader this time.

In addition, sending Brother Chou to escort property, on the one hand, Brother Chou is absolutely loyal, and the torture cavalry battalion under his command is also his own henchmen, and he will never betray Xiliang for these goods; On the other hand, although Brother Ugly is inferior to Pound in martial arts and military strategy, he is much stronger than Pound in terms of cunning and fickleness and stealth in marching.

After arranging all this, Ma Chao also heard the rumbling thunder in the sky, and said helplessly to the bitter Pang De: "It seems that even God doesn't help us......"

"Don't worry, young master, the strategy of the military division is breathtaking, presumably the military division will definitely be able to attract reinforcements from Chang'an. And even if the military division fails, the ugly brother will send the news to Fufeng, and the lord has 30,000 elite soldiers under him, and he will definitely do his best to save him. ”

"I hope so......" Ma Chao sighed again, and he couldn't say any emotion in his heart: If it weren't for the low starting point of the Xiliang Ma family, and the Qiang people were affected by the cold disaster and planned to plunder Fufeng County, Ma Chao would have been killed and would not have been willing to go deep into the grassland to exterminate the broken Qiang.

In his plan, he should occupy Fufeng County, use the crop seeds in his hands and the knowledge spanning nearly 2,000 years, to make wind and rain in Fufeng County: rejuvenate the economy, attract talents, reform the political system, strengthen the military, and strive to do a good job in the three sub-projects of 'vegetable garden', 'iron shop', and 'barracks', and build a prosperous and harmonious new Fufeng Park. After these are on the right track, they will pull the relationship, make tricks interact with the Qiang people and Chang'an, fish in troubled waters step by step, gradually destroy Han Sui, annex Liangzhou, and then use Liangzhou as a base, take advantage of the chaos in Chang'an, make a big profit, and look at the Central Plains.

But the time was not right, and the plan did not catch up with the change.

Although Jia Xu's old fox came in time and his strategy was also very good, the price of failure was also quite hard.

Before sending troops, Jia Xu's plan was divided into three aspects, and it was carried out at the same time.

First, they went deep into the grassland to attack and destroy the Qiang with lightning speed, provoking civil strife on the grassland, so that the attention of the Qiang tribes on the grassland shifted to internal strife. In this way, the pressure on Fufeng County can be greatly reduced, and at the same time, it will also bring trouble to Jincheng Hansui.

Second, asking Meng Da to check the finances and grain of Fufeng County and carry out Han-Qiang trade tentatively around Fufeng County can not only help some pro-Han Qiang tribes survive this year safely, but also win over the hearts of the Qiang people and prepare for Ma Teng's infiltration into the Qiang forces in the future.

The third is to make Han Feng create rumors on the Chang'an side, and at the same time fool Cai Yong into writing to Dong Zhuo and the imperial court, forcing Chang'an to react to the Qiang people.

This three-pronged approach not only allows Fufeng County to maintain peace in the midst of turmoil, but also seeks opportunities for Fufeng's future development.

But the damn sentence is still the same: the plan can't keep up with the change!

Who knows what kind of sacrifice festival he happened to encounter the Qiang tribe, who knows that his Xiliang Iron Rider is so fierce, and who knows that the Qiang tribe is so vulnerable. Under his own large-scale raid, he actually wiped out the Broken Qiang tribe......

This is good, although there is no change in the general policy - well, in fact, as long as it is planned properly, it can even get a greater amount of political capital for the Xiliang Ma family: if Chang'an really sends troops and beheads the military exploits of the Qiang barbarians, it will definitely make Dong Zhuo's momentum shine. As a result, Dong Zhuo's opinion of the Xiliang Ma family will also change greatly; In addition, these tribes who chased and killed Ma Chao were undoubtedly supporters of the Tieqiang Alliance, and their demise could be said to have cut off one of Han Sui's arms, and then even Ma Teng and Han Sui were evenly matched on the grassland.

However, but!

As a result of these changes, the Qiang army will definitely be summoned for revenge. Moreover, Ma Chao can be sure that this revenge will definitely come to him soon! And once he fails, the consequences will definitely be quite bitter - there may be nothing else, that is, his own hundred and ten catties of meat, I am afraid that he will have to stay in the grassland to feed the hungry wolves......

And just after Ma Chao had filtered all the causes and effects and possibilities, Pang De suddenly said loudly: "Young master! You see! ”

Ma Chao looked in the direction of his finger, and couldn't help but shake his whole body, only to see the smoke and dust rising in the west, and the crowd was surging, as if a large force of cavalry was coming!
