Chapter 42: A Jumbled Letter
Ma Chao has been stranded on this grassland for fifteen days.
During the fifteen days, after the ugly brother Huang Yuan secretly returned to Fufeng, he went straight to the hall of the county guard mansion without taking off his clothes and armor and before the horse was unsaddled, and told Ma Teng about Ma Chao's deeds on the grassland. Ma Teng, who is usually calm and moderate, heard that Ma Chao made such an arrangement, and smashed the teacup to the ground by mistake, scolding Ma Chao for being confused.
But before he finished scolding Ma Chao, Ma Teng ordered his subordinates to beat the drum and gather troops, and at the same time handed over all the affairs of Fufeng County to Meng He and Meng Da, the two fathers and sons, and then directly led 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and ordered Huang Yuan and the criminal cavalry battalion to take the lead and go to the north.
The ugly brother and the 3,000 torture cavalry battalion ran all the way and were tired and just returned to Fufeng, and when they heard the order to go out, no one refuted it, but everyone was in a mood, like a sudden rabbit, and led Ma Teng's 20,000 troops along the original road to the grassland.
At this moment, the grassland, which has always been desolate and monotonous, has gathered six armies such as Ma Chao, Yan Xing, various Qiang tribes, Tieqiang League, Chang'an reinforcements, and Ma Teng reinforcements, and the noise is extraordinary. And Ma Chao, the initiator of all this, was hiding behind a grassy slope that was extremely difficult to find at this time, and was working hard to write with a mutton fat lamp.
The reason why Ma Chao did not hide in the camp of Baimaqiang or Tsing Yi Qiang as Ma Teng expected. It was because Ma Chao knew that Yan Xing had relied on the deterrence of the Tieqiang Order to mobilize all the Qiang tribes to hunt down and kill Ma Chao. And at this time, Ma Chao really wanted to hide in the tribe of Baimaqiang or Tsing Yi Qiang. Although it may indeed reduce some dangers, at the same time, it will also bring unnecessary trouble to Baimaqiang and Tsing Yi Qiang. Even, the two tribes will be jealous of the entire Tieqiang Alliance because of this, and it is not impossible that they will be exterminated.
The more you care, the more you will stay away.
Although these words are so sensitous with men and women, at this time, in the relationship between Ma Chao and these two tribes, it is really the same thing.
However, Ma Chao is not a good bird after all, except that he really doesn't want to cause trouble with those two uncles. In fact, there is another reason for him.
In Ma Chao's eyes, these two tribes have the strongest relationship with Ma Teng, and their tribal power and influence are not small. According to Ma Chao's expectations, these two tribes can provide greater help for Ma Teng to break into the Qiang tribe in the future, and there is no need to mess up the overall situation because of his own little intolerance at this time.
However, at this time, Ma Chao's mind was not on the two tribes, I saw him writing and muttering: "What a Yan Xing, I don't want to be a master!" Forcing the master to play with you with this yin. Master doesn't believe it, this is from Boss Cao's trick, and he can't deceive you, a king and a calf......"
Pound frowned and watched Ma Chao sketch on the sheepskin, and really didn't know what kind of moth his young master was doing. Because on this parchment, it is said to be a mess, not only is the writing crooked, but it is also smeared to the ground. Pang De made a lot of effort, and only then did he roughly see that there were words on it, such as 'Ling Gongzi', 'Yan Xing', 'Tieqiang League', 'After the Matter was Completed', 'Han Qiang' and so on.
"Young Master, are you going to hand over this letter to Yan Xing?" Pound finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and said: "This letter is neither a challenge nor a surrender letter, and it is also written in a mess and mess, this ......"
"You don't understand, who said that this letter was going to be handed over to Yan Xing? This letter is to be given to Dotamu. Ma Chao crossed out again, making the letter even more miserable.
"To Dotamu? But can he read it? Pang De looked at Ma Chao's stroke, and only felt a twitch in his heart.
"If he doesn't understand, if he does, I'm finished. Forget it, I can't tell you ......" Ma Chao finally raised his head at this time, seemed to be very satisfied with his masterpiece, and opened his mouth to shout: "Ugly brother, send this letter to ......"
suddenly thought that after the ugly brother was not by his side at this time, Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh: Don't look at that man as ugly, but if you say that he is the most suitable to do this kind of thing.
After reluctantly summoning a more clever personal soldier from his subordinates, Ma Chao commanded: "Remember, this letter should be handed over to Duotamu when Yan Xing knows about it, but he can't let him see it, understand?" ”
"Subordinate, subordinate is a little confused...... the pro-soldier scratched his head, feeling that Ma Chao's task is very difficult.
"That is, when you go to see Duotamu, find a way to let Yan Xing know that you have come to deliver the letter, this, you drop, understand?" Ma Chao was a little anxious about the IQ of his own soldiers, so he had no choice but to explain like this.
"Well, I drop, understood." The soldier really seemed to understand something, and he was about to speak Japanese.
"Yo Sih, open the way to Emas." Ma Chao waved his hand, and in his heart, he was already looking forward to the classic meeting between Yan Xing and Duotamuna.
"What?" But where did that pro-soldier really understand this 'Chinese-style Japanese', he only felt that his young master was too weird tonight......
"Go, young man, our little life of four thousand Xiliang Iron Riders can all be in this letter." After Ma Chao was injured internally, he still patted the shoulder of the pro-soldier heavily: "Young man, I am optimistic about you......"
The poor personal soldier, after being destroyed by Ma Chao was a little confused, immediately stepped on the war horse like a prisoner released from prison, and ran away without a trace. And poor Pound, from beginning to end, didn't understand what his young master was doing.
"Young master, although Pound is stupid, he is not a person who does not know the truth, but what the young master did tonight, his subordinates are really ......" Pound is a straight man, if he doesn't understand this doubt, he always feels that there is a pimple in his heart.
Ma Chao turned his head to glance at Pound, thinking that Mr. Pound would be his henchman for a long time, so he also raised the idea of cultivating Pound. After blinking his eyes, he asked Pang De: "Ling Ming, Yan Xing has seen me and Duotamu talking affectionately for more than an hour today, and when Yan Xing arrived, we were so hostile to Yan Xing...... You say, will Yan Xing think that there is something unpleasant between Dotamu and us? ”
"It will be." Pound nodded, and anyone else would probably think so. After all, Ma Chao kidnapped Dotamu's only son. This is an unexplained sore foot for Dotamu.
"But with these, will Yan Xing fall out with Duotamu over this?" Ma Chao continued to ask.
"Well....." This question made Pang De think seriously for a while before he replied cautiously: "If it was an ordinary reckless general, maybe he would have drawn his sword against Dotamu at that time." However, Yan Xing's mind was gloomy and cautious, and even if there was a gap in his heart, he would not immediately make a move against Duotamu. ”
"What if we find out tonight that we sent a letter to Dotamu, and Dotamu took out a pair of altered letters?" Saying this, Ma Chao smiled unnaturally: Boss Cao's hand is really beautiful, but it's just that today is cheap for me!
Pang De's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood the key, only to feel a cool breath rushing from his head to the chrysanthemum. And looking at Ma Chao's eyes, he also became a little stunned and flashing......
Fortunately, he is a subordinate of this young man and not an enemy, otherwise, he really doesn't even know how he died! - Pound, who completely obeyed Ma Chao, actually had this sentence in his heart.
And Ma Chao didn't have the heart to know what kind of image he had become in Pang De's mind, because, suddenly, the return of the probe made Ma Chao resentful: Damn, that group of ghosts of the Qiang tribe, it is impossible to let the young master An An sleep alive!
And Pound also guessed what was going on from Ma Chao's expression. Without waiting for Ma Chao to order, Pang De waved his hand.
In an instant, the four thousand Xiliang Iron Riders had already begun to sort out their baggage and turned over on their horses.
In the distance, those Qiang warriors with torches can gradually see their faces...... Ma Chao saw that the torches spread boundlessly, gathered into a circle and approached his side, and his heart couldn't help but change greatly.
This prairie is indeed the world of the Qiang people. Sure enough, he still underestimated the power of Tieqiang Ling...... With such an enemy on all sides, you can only fight bravely!
