The remaining old Huns knelt down and begged Ma Chao, saying something that Ma Chao couldn't understand. But Ma Chao knew that he hoped that Ma Chao could spare the dozens of children behind him.

The first to discover Li Zihao's caravan was this old Hun man. He followed the traditions of the Xiongnu to take their descendants to watch how the Han were slaughtered and plundered. Use facts to tell them: the Han people, that is, the free-range sheep of the Huns, can be killed when they are needed.

But now, Ma Chao didn't even hesitate, and swept off the old Hun's head with one shot, and the blood flew into the air, and the rest of the Huns, including the child, raised the scimitar in their hands and killed them, their dirty little faces were hideous with fear, but unfortunately, their fragile bodies could not stop the power of the Panlong Crouching Tiger Gun.

The corpses all over the ground, old and young, stout and slender, were all placed into an altar by Ma Jiajun. Ma Chao looked at these heads and said, "Send them to Yufro, he will understand what I mean." ”

War is like this, either you die or I live, there is no reason to do it. Ma Chao believes that Ma Jiajun understands this truth, and this tribe that attacked the Ma family's caravan also understands. It's just that today they had bad luck and kicked the iron plate. It can only be that after the strong and children in the tribe are dead, they are annexed by other tribes of the chaotic Xiongnu.

As for whether it was annexed by Yu Fuluo, Ma Chao didn't care.

Although, according to the information obtained so far, Yu Fuluo has developed very smoothly: since Yu Fu Luo returned to the Xiongnu tribe, he has not relaxed the pull and division of the Xiongnu tribe, and now he is busy conquering those tribes that do not obey his discipline when the Xiongnu group of dragons is leaderless. After getting the flower language of the old king of the Huns, Yu Fuluo's ambition and prestige obviously rose several levels.

However, Ma Chao never thought that Yu Fuluo could be qualified to be his enemy. In his opinion, Huvro's previous performance has always been very good. People are also very smart, and they may even see through the development intentions of the Ma family, and know that they have been painstakingly trying to enter the Central Plains. However, he was wrong, and he thought that he was smart enough to think that if the Ma family left him, the Huns would not be able to infiltrate.

Tuoba Ying slowly walked towards Ma Chao with a mood that he didn't understand, but when he walked to a distance of five steps away from Ma Chao, he suddenly saw a black and white lightning bolt drawn in the sky, with a vigorous momentum, and suddenly plunged into the ground! Then, the horse was frightened and neighed, and almost threw Tuoba off his horse!

After finally appeasing the war horse, Tuoba Ying immediately understood what Ma Chao meant. He hesitated for a moment, then turned over and dismounted, and after pulling out Ma Chao's coiled dragon crouching tiger spear, he raised his hands above his head, knelt in front of Ma Chao, and said respectfully: "Tuoba Ying and the tribe of 13,64 people, willing to surrender to the feet of the heavenly general." In the future, I will be your eagle, your horse, your whip, your scimitar........ Your will is my mission! ”

"Don't say these meaningless vows, I've heard a traitor say that." Ma Chao took the Panlong Crouching Tiger Spear, tapped it on Tuoba Ying's shoulder, and after signaling him to get up, he continued: "Now, it is the conversation between the descendants of General Fubo of the Great Han and the descendants of General Fei of the Great Han, those on the grassland, I agree but will never believe it!" ”

Li Chi behind him, hearing Ma Chao say this, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes. But then, after he saw the ecstatic look and gratitude on Tuobaying's face, he also sighed silently in his heart: The seven-foot man is still entangled in the grievances of a hundred years ago, it is really ashamed of his ancestors!

And just when Tuoba Ying was grateful and wanted to be loyal to Ma Chao again, Li Zihao, who was covered in blood, ran towards Ma Chao quickly, forgetting the etiquette of the lord and minister, and said excitedly: "Lord, you are here!" I have good news here! ........Speaking of this, Li Zihao looked left and right, and after seeing the wolf-like general behind Ma Chao and feeling the strange atmosphere, he reacted and hurriedly saluted Ma Chao.

Ma Chao is extremely cruel to his enemies, but he is quite lenient with his own people. After turning over and dismounting, he ignored Tuoba Ying, who looked excited, but instead pulled Li Zihao to a secluded place and said, "Say, you guy, have you found any big business opportunities to make a fortune?" ”

Whom to see, what to say. As soon as Ma Chao's words came out, Li Zihao immediately forgot about the previous killing and panic, and said excitedly: "Lord, I should have returned to Chang'an two days ago. However, in the past few days, the Xiongnu have been in turmoil, and many caravans that were not escorted by the Ma family army have died. The subordinates couldn't bear it, so they dug graves for them, but this digging ........ Guess what I dug up?! ”

Ma Chao couldn't help but turn dark after hearing this, this Li Zihao is really unrestrained. But I'm your leader, you let your leader guess the yarn! As a result, Ma Chao said angrily: "What, did you dig up gold?" ”

"Not bad! It's gold that's been dug up! Li Zihao didn't hear Ma Chao's tone at all, but said even more excitedly: "It's just that the gold is black, which is the black gold in your mouth - coal!" ”

After Ma Chao heard this, his whole body stiffened, and then he simply slapped himself directly: The place where the Huns are active is a merger, but what was the merger state called in the previous life? It's called Shanxi!

What's in Shanxi?

is a person who only has primary school knowledge, and everyone knows that there is coal in Shanxi!!

Moreover, Shanxi not only has coal, but also iron!

If there is coal and iron, then it is equal to heavy industry, and heavy industry is equal to excellent equipment and weapons, and excellent equipment and weapons are equal to ......... Boost your combat power!

"Lord, you don't know, there is simply too much coal there, too easy to mine!" Li Zihao saw Ma Chao's stunned appearance, and his eyes smiled into a slit: "I was delayed there for a few days, just to mark the location where the coal was hidden." You see........"

As he spoke, Li Zihao took out a map from his arms. After Ma Chao took it, he glanced at it hastily, put it into his arms, patted Li Zihao on the shoulder and said, "Do you know that you have changed the fate of the entire Huns!" ”

"What?" Li Zihao was indeed very happy, but when he suddenly heard Ma Chao's words, he suddenly couldn't understand it.

"It's okay, you don't have to know that. Anyway, it's a good thing. The smile on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth became more and more obvious, he took Li Zihao's back, slowly walked back to everyone, and said as he walked: "After I am Chang'an, I will definitely reward you greatly." Whether you want an official, a woman, or a ........ Forget it, you're not short of money. ”

"Officer?" Li Zihao was stunned, you must know that in this era when scholars and doctors dominate the court, businessmen rarely participate in political affairs. Even those huge merchant families have been in business for decades or even hundreds of years, and only after the next generation has put on the garb of a scholar and doctor has entered the officialdom. And at this time, listening to Ma Chao's meaning, is........

"Not bad! It's absolutely no problem for you to be an official, what the household department needs is a talent like you! Ma Chao laughed, in fact, Ma Chao had already planned to give Guan Shanxue, Li Zihao, and Yu Pan official positions. And under the promotion of Ma Jiake's 'eclectic and talent-dropping', this is the icing on the cake.

However, now with Li Zihao's monstrous work. Ma Chao felt that the official position of Wailang, a household member he originally proposed for Li Zihao, was a little low........

In a good mood, Ma Chao looks at everyone much more pleasing to the eye. Especially looking at Tuoba Ying, he is as greedy and enthusiastic as a tiger looking at a rabbit. It's just that when he looked at the vast grassland again, looking at the occasional smoke of war on the grassland, he said coldly in his heart: "Yu Fuluo, you will soon understand that the Ma family can still control the Xiongnu without you." And you can only pay for your arrogance and ignorance of current affairs today! ”
