Chapter 39: The Plan Begins

Ma Yuntao stared at Wang Yuze with burning eyes, and the meaning of persecution and threat was overflowing, and he believed that a small company commander of the Western Sichuan Army would definitely be extremely frightened once he was threatened like this. After all, the thirty-six battalions of the Green Horse Army and more than 30,000 elite cavalry are already a very strong force. Even in the face of the Western Sichuan Army, the Green Horse Army is proud enough. Not to mention a small military station, there are only two hundred Western Sichuan Army.

After the news of Ma Qi's failure to attack the western Sichuan military station and his capture was transmitted back to Xining, Ma Haiyan was furious and scolded angrily. There are not only scolding Ma Qi for acting without authorization and being bold, but also deeply dissatisfied with the Western Sichuan Army. Over the years, the friction between the Green Horse Army and the Western Sichuan Army has been increasing day by day, and they have already accumulated deep hatred, and now even the eldest young master of the Green Horse Army has been captured. If it weren't for the amazing strength of the Western Sichuan Army, and the Qingma Army with 16,700 people in the two brigades would have been overwhelmed, Ma Haiyan would have already ordered the army to attack and level the military station of the Western Sichuan Army.

Although Ma Haiyan is now sixty-four years old, he is no longer as brave as the cavalry rebelled against the Qing Dynasty decades ago, but the kind of strong momentum he exudes is still not something that others can deal with. The generals of the Green Horse Army, under Ma Haiyan's deterrence, were all submissive and did not dare to say more.

Everyone knows that Ma Qi is Ma Haiyan's heaviest son, and Ma Haiyan, who is old enough to have a son, has high hopes for Ma Qi. Although Ma Qi usually acts a little recklessly, in general, he is still very good in all aspects. In the future, I will definitely be able to inherit the Green Horse Army very well. Now Ma Qi has fallen into the hands of the Western Sichuan Army, which makes Ma Haiyan feel at ease.

If it weren't for the fear of endangering Ma Qi's life, Ma Haiyan would have ordered a war with the Western Sichuan Army. Of course, even if you want to meet with the western Sichuan army, you have to wait until the spring is in full bloom, and in the cold winter, there will be no large-scale attack at all. If Ma Qi can be brought back safely before this, it will naturally be the best.

Therefore, Ma Yuntao's task this time is to put pressure on Wang Yuze and strive to save Ma Qi safely. After the coming year, the Green Horse Army launched a retaliation against the Western Sichuan Army. After all, Ma Qi was arrested, hundreds of elites were killed and wounded, and this revenge cannot be avenged!

"Haha, Mr. Ma, are you threatening me?" Wang Yuze laughed, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he asked coldly.

"Company Commander Wang is strict! Ma is just stating a fact. The tens of thousands of elites of the Qingma Army could not see their eldest young master being arrested, and asked Company Commander Wang to release the eldest young master, so that he could return to Xining to reunite with his family. Otherwise, once the tens of thousands of elites of the Green Horse Army launch a madness, it will be terrible. Therefore, Company Commander Wang released the eldest young master, and our two families can also get back together! Ma Yuntao said with a smile, although he repeatedly denied threatening Wang Yuze in his words, the meaning was very obvious, and even a fool could hear it. Most of the Qingma Army is **, after the Ma family raised troops, ** became more and more fierce, even after accepting the appeasement of the Qing court, they were also unruly, and even the Qing court had no way to take them.

"Humph! In that case, Mr. Ma, please go back! I, Wang Lung, are waiting for your Green Horse Army to attack! I want you to level my little station! Wang Yuze said coldly.

"You?" Ma Yuntao's face was full of consternation, as if he didn't expect that Wang Yuze would be able to face the threat of the Green Horse Army and still be so tough. Did he really think that a small military station could compete with the tens of thousands of elites of the Green Horse Army?

"Company Commander Wang, you can think about it clearly, when the elite of the Qingma Army arrives, you will definitely be killed in a small military station. Not to mention, your actions will also affect the relationship between the Qingma Army and the Western Sichuan Army. Although the Western Sichuan Army is strong, our Green Horse Army is not a vegetarian. Not to mention, we also have the support of the Hezhou Ma Army and the Ning Ma Army, the three are one, a total of 100,000 elites, even if it is your Western Sichuan Army, you don't dare to twist its edge! Ma Yuntao said with a grim look.

In the entire northwest of China, the Ma Jiajun is undoubtedly the most formidable force. The terrain in the northwest is flat, either the grassland or the Gobi, which is very suitable for cavalry charges. The three families of 100,000 elite cavalry of the Ma family army crisscrossed the northwest, and no one was invincible. Even the western Sichuan army must be fully prepared before it can confront it.

"Mr. Ma, please! Don't say that Ma Qi is not in my hands now, even if he is, I definitely can't hand it over to you! To tell you the truth, now Ma Qi has been sent to Qamdo. If the Tsing Ma Army wants to ask for someone, it would be more appropriate for you to go to Qamdo. Of course, whether Ma Qi can be picked up or not depends on the meaning of our high-level military in western Sichuan. Wang Yuze smiled coldly. He knew very well that Ma Qi would be an important chess piece of the Western Sichuan Army to balance the Qingma Army, how could he let it go so easily. Ma Yuntao is estimated to have gone for nothing this time.

"You!" Ma Yuntao was furious, isn't Wang Yuze playing with people? Since Ma Qi is no longer in his hands, why is he still saying so much, it is a complete waste of time. At the same time, Ma Yuntao also felt that this mission would be in vain. Since Ma Qi was sent to Qamdo, it is obvious that Ma Qi was arrested, which has attracted the attention of the top brass of the Western Sichuan Army. They obviously wouldn't let Ma Qi go so lightly.

"Please! Wang Wei, send off! Wang Yuze stood up and said.

"Mr. Ma, please!" Wang Wei said immediately.

"Humph!" Ma Yuntao snorted coldly, but he still had to leave. Since Ma Qi is no longer in this station, there is no need for him to stay any longer, it is better to go to Qamdo as soon as possible. Although I know that going to Qamdo will not lead to anything, at least I can know Ma Qi's current situation! Moreover, we can also know the next step of the Western Sichuan Army. This will also facilitate the Green Horse Army to make a positive response.

Ma Yuntao and his entourage of more than a dozen people were invited out of the military station. Compared to the warm military station, the cold and frozen snow outside is simply unbearable! The Green Horse Army shouted and cursed, but the muzzle of the heavy machine gun in the black hole on the tower finally had to leave.

Ma Yuntao took them, took a letter written by Wang Yuze, and embarked on the road to Qamdo. Without Wang Yuze's letter of introduction, they would not have been able to reach Qamdo safely. After all, behind Gasanka, it can be regarded as the hinterland of the Western Sichuan Army. Even if the mountains are covered by heavy snow now, the checkpoints everywhere are also heavily guarded, and it is basically impossible for Ma Yuntao and his party to reach Qamdo unimpeded. Of course, in order to avoid conflict, their weapons, Wang Yuze did not return. Some old Type 6 Lebel rifles, he doesn't see them yet. Compared with the Type 9 rifles and cavalry guns used by the Western Sichuan Army, it is already a lot behind.

In this way, Ma Yuntao and his entourage trekked hard in the snow for a week before they arrived in Qamdo. After announcing his name, Ma Yuntao met Ma Qi. Ma Qi was not abused, but he was just under house arrest, and he still had plenty of food and drink. It's just that the freedom is restricted. As for the other captives, there was no such treatment at all. Those who have committed the most heinous crimes have been slain. Some of those who committed less serious crimes will also be sent back to Sichuan in the spring of the following year to build roads and mine.

After meeting Ma Qi, Ma Yuntao met with Zhao Bowen, the commander of the 10th Brigade, and expressed the intention of the Qingma Army to return to Ma Qi. However, this request was sternly rejected by Zhao Bowen. However, Zhao Bowen did not insist that he would not release Ma Qi, but only told Ma Yuntao that in the spring of next year, the western Sichuan side would send a special person to be responsible for the negotiations with the Qingma Army, and asked Ma Yuntao not to worry, and at the same time asked him to go back and tell Ma Haiyan that the two sides can start talks next spring. As for the specific content, Zhao Bowen did not disclose it, perhaps even he himself was not very clear. But he was able to guess that in the spring of next year, the 10th Brigade would have something to do and would not be as idle as this year. Next spring, the big plan of the Western Sichuan Army will be launched.

Ma Yuntao had to rush back to Xining with disappointment and anger to return to Ma Haiyan.
