Chapter Twenty-Five: Ruthlessness and Affection

In the strategy discussed that day, Ma Chao wanted to get 10,000 well-equipped Liangzhou iron horsemen from Ma Teng. Bring enough dry food, go deep into the hinterland of the Qiang tribe alone, and directly destroy the Qiang tribe!

This trick is the premise of Jia Xu's entire plan. And when Ma Chao reported to Ma Teng that the Qiang people might attack Fufeng County on a large scale, Ma Teng immediately agreed to Ma Chao's plan. Not only did he not hesitate to let Ma Chao lead the troops deep into the hinterland of the Qiang people, but also gave Ma Chao a few letters.

Ma Teng said very simply, only saying that when he was under the command of Shi Geng in Liangzhou, he had participated in many battles against the Qiang people. At that time, all the Geng tribes did not care about right or wrong, and only took the heads of the Qiang people to receive merit. However, Ma Teng hoeed the strong and helped the weak, not only to conquer those tribes that hated the Han, but also to help some weak, pro-Han tribes to take revenge or trade with them, and even for this reason, he also turned against other tribes. As a result, Ma Teng became a strong tribal leader and won their respect.

Ma Chao thought that Ma Teng had helped several small tribes that were not salty or light, but he never thought that the Qiang people were simple and simple, and they were grateful to Ma Teng for what he did.

From this, the previous scene appeared.

"Poqiang suffered from the cold under the snow-capped mountains this time, and actually looted and slaughtered our weak tribes. Since the young general is here, the old guy will spare this bone, and he will also help the young general eradicate this broken tribe! After knowing Ma Chao's identity, Riwu Buji really swore and volunteered to help Ma Chao, just like those previous tribesmen.

This kind of treatment made Ma Chao feel a little entangled: Damn, you are also a race, how can you be so different about that face, well, in fact, is it the father who doesn't look good so hard?

We are Han Chinese!

It's the Han dog who has enslaved and exploited you for generations!

Well, if you scold yourself for being a dog, I'm afraid that our eldest son of Xiliang has this logic......

"In the wilderness of Mobei, the people are fierce and ignorant, and they advocate force the most, and in this land, strength determines everything! It is natural for the strong to kill the weak and take possession of the wives and children of the weak. Just like a wolf eats a sheep, no one ever thinks there's anything wrong with doing that! ”

"Because of this, the concept of nationality here is very weak. The nomads living in the steppes are completely different from the Han people who have been king-turned. There is no question of the belonging of national feelings on the grassland, so whether you are a Han Chinese, a Xiongnu, or a Xianbei person, as long as you have enough strength, you are the master of this great desert and the king of all peoples! ”

"It can be said that the rebellion of Shunchang is the best ruling strategy for the young master against the grassland." Jia Xu saw Ma Chao's doubts, and said these words in front of all the Qiang people!

Ma Chao's face changed greatly, and he was eager to command the army to protect Jia Xu. But when he turned his head and saw that those Qiang people didn't seem to be angry at all, they all looked in agreement, Ma Chao knew that he was still too simple.

Speculating on the customs of this troubled era with the mentality of equality of the 21st century is really a bit of a fate and a bit of a divergence. However, even after experiencing a lot of fighting, the concept of human rights has gradually become weaker, but like Jia Xu, Ma Chao still can't accept the naked thing of enslaving the entire race.

"What the military advisor said is indeed every word, although Ran Chao is ruthless and cruel, but as the military advisor said, enslave the entire Qiang people...... This kind of thing is still difficult to accept. Ma Chao was silent for a long time, and after quietly asking his heart, he said this.

"Shunchang is rebellious! This has been the case since ancient times! The young master must know that mercy is not in charge of the army, and goodness is not governing the country! Jia Xu pressed forward step by step, the essence in his eyes was like a sharp sword, stabbing Ma Chao's heart, as if he wanted to pierce Ma Chao's heart!

Ma Chao had never seen Jia Xu have such momentum, and he couldn't help loosening the embankment in his heart. But then his heart flashed, and his principles and obsessions were immediately cast like steel, and his hot mood was like magma, as if he wanted to melt Jia Xu's sword!

"I, say, too! Treat the Qiang people as equals! Ma Chao spit out these words word by word, and his tone gradually became as cold as a blade, and he hit the sharp mang in Jia Xu's eyes, and he did not waver at all!

The two were on the quiet prairie,-for-tat. Although the sword was not drawn to each other, its momentum was like a sharp sword, making the occasional warm wind blowing on this grassland bring a touch of sharpness!

Maybe it was a piece of history that slipped by, or maybe it was just a moment later, the Limang in Jia Xu's eyes disappeared in an instant, as if the aggressive momentum before was just a fantasy and a dream. And then, Ma Chao clearly saw that Jia Xu actually had a smile on his face, which was the most natural and warm smile in his heart.

"The young master is merciful, has a common heart, and worships and obeys!" Because he was still on the horse, Jia Xu failed to bow down, but Ma Chao knew that Jia Xu's intentions at this time were true. Although, this old fox may have forgotten what it tastes like, Ma Chao prefers to believe that it is true.

"The military advisor can't be like this, super dull, I don't know why the military advisor ......" Ma Chao suddenly reined in his momentum, and was a little overwhelmed by Jia Xu's sudden worship.

"Xu has lived in Wuwei since he was a child, and since he was a child, he has seen too much of the grievances and slaughter between the Qiang and the Han people. The Qiang people hated the Han people for devouring the land where they lived, and the Han people hated the Qiang people for being arrogant and unreasonable, and taking them into slavery. Jia Xu said quietly, as if he had returned to the powerless and helpless pain of his youth: "Xu saw with her own eyes a Qiang mother, in order to protect her child, let the Han people wreak havoc on her, and in the end, the Han people still killed her child, and also killed her!" Xu also saw with his own eyes that after those Han people were taken captive, the numb and desperate eyes, and the evil deeds of being arbitrarily cut off by the Qiang people to sacrifice to heaven and earth! At that time, Xu thought, can't the Han people and the Qiang people get along in harmony? But as I grew older, I read any books and allusions, all of which recorded the hatred between Han and Qiang, as well as endless fighting and slaughter! ”

Speaking of this, Ma Chao and the others were all silent, although they had not experienced what happened to Jia Xu, but from Jia Xu's mouth, they heard Jia Xu's compassion and the pain of being frozen in the ice day by day.

"Today, when I met the old master and the young master, I saw the hope of reconciliation and harmony between Han and Qiang. The young master really treats everyone equally, and he tries his best to assist the young master, if he really sees the day of harmony between Han and Qiang, he will have no regrets even if he dies! ”

It looks like a flower or a non-flower, ruthless and true, this true love is revealed, which shows Jia Xu's true colors. Ma Chao also sighed with emotion at this time: If he hadn't heard Jia Xu's volunteering with his own ears, he really didn't know that this troubled strategist who wantonly indulged his conspiracy talent and single-handedly ruined the 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty still had such a humble and true long-cherished wish in his heart!

"The military advisor is serious, although he is not talented, he is also unkind. But with all things as a dog's thing, it can't be done! Ma Chaoyu immediately clenched his fists and replied to Jia Xu categorically.

"That being the case, then let's follow the plan and sweep away the Qiang tribe first. If Han Qiang really wants to live in harmony in the troubled times, without some extraordinary means, I am afraid it will not work. Although he is affectionate, he is not a person who is abusive......"

Jia Xu pursed his lips and smiled mysteriously at this time, and his eyes looked straight into the distance. There, it may be the dilapidated camp, which is quietly turning out of the beacon fire......
