Wuzhangyuan.
I saw the simple Qiang military camp, and some soldiers were half-clothed and looked like Sima.
King Youxian of the Xiongnu Qubei completely believed that these poor households must be Qiang brothers.
When the two sides met, Qubei also saw the Qiang leader Zhuo Ma.
Such strange names are not something that should be taken seriously. After all, they choose names according to their whims.
"General Zhuo Ma, I wonder how the battle is going now?"
"I heard that Bald Xianbei had arrived a step ahead, why are they nowhere to be seen?"
Pan Liuxi, the king of Youguli, was suspicious and cunning, so he first asked what was on his mind.
"Bald Xianbei is so happy about his success that he attacks the Han camp first without waiting for our army to arrive."
"As a result, they were completely wiped out by the Han army, and their heads were made and placed under Chang'an City."
"We must unite our forces to have a chance of winning! Otherwise, we will only be attacked one by one by the Han army."
Zhuo Ma said that if you can make good use of this kind of cannon fodder, you can not only deliver missions to Cao Pi, but also retain your strength. Why not?
"General Zhuo Ma is right!"
Qubei said flatteringly: "I have always heard that the Qiang warriors are brave and invincible. As a Huns, I admire them very much!"
"If General Zhuo Ma doesn't dislike it, we and the Huns are willing to hold the rear for the Qiang warriors!"
Treating others as cannon fodder, but also speaking in a high-sounding way, is considered a one-of-a-kind thing.
It was precisely with such means that Qubei was able to lead the various tribes of the Southern Huns to survive while Huchuquan was trapped in Yecheng.
"Since King Youxian is so benevolent and righteous, then I, Zhuo Ma, will be more respectful than obey his orders!"
Zhuo Ma cupped his fists and said, "You are a guest. Why don't you come in and have a glass of wine with me?"
Pan Liuxi, the king of Youguli, stepped forward directly and refused: "Don't drink alcohol during war. Even the Han people understand this principle. Wouldn't the general not understand it?"
At this time, the young man next to Zhuo Ma joked: "What? You don't even give me the honor to drink a glass of wine! You Huns are really taking advantage of you and still behave!"
Qubei waved his hand, signaling his brother to step back.
"General Zhuo Ma, please!"
After the two arrived at the military camp, Pan Liuxi was worried and followed them.
A glint flashed in the young man's eyes. He didn't expect that the Huns were so good at doing business and would even buy one and get one free!
Zhuo Ma looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "You will fend for yourself in the Xiongnu. No one will care about you."
"Why did you come to the Central Plains to die?"
As soon as these words came out, Qubei and Pan Liuxi were a little puzzled. They didn't know what nonsense the Qiang people in front of them were talking about.
“The grassland cannot be cultivated, and raising cattle and sheep depends on the weather!”
"How can we, the Huns herdsmen, live like this forever?"
"If we capture the Central Plains one day, we will definitely be able to change this situation."
Qubei said calmly: "Don't you Qiang people want to take over the Central Plains?"
Zhuo Ma did not answer directly, but continued to ask questions.
"If you take over the Central Plains, what will the people do?"
"Hahaha! The Han people are just two-legged sheep! When there is a shortage of food, they are used as military rations. On weekdays, they are treated as slaves, just farming!"
Zhuo Ma nodded and said calmly: "Sure enough, it is not a pity for you to wait for the Xiongnu barbarians to die!"
Uh-huh!
Wherever the sword passed, Qubei's head fell to the ground!
This scene happened so fast that Pan Liuxi, the king of Yougu Li, couldn't react in time!
The Righteous King of the Xiongnu has now been separated from his head!
"You...what do you do?"
"Silly! You read the blanch code backwards!"
Pan Liuxi looked at the young man and murmured: "Ma Chao... Ma Chao!"
Unexpectedly, the heroic general in front of me was the great Han Liangzhou Muma Chao!
"You are really stupid. We originally just wanted to kill King Youxian, but you came in on your own initiative!"
Ma Chao raised his sword and cut down another person, killing King Youxian and King Yougu Li of the Southern Huns without any bloodshed!
The Huns army outside the military camp was still waiting for their king to come out.
Gudong!
The two heads rolled to the ground, and the Huns realized that Qubei and Pan Liuxi were dead.
Look at the Qiang people who smiled kindly at them just now, and now they have been completely surrounded!
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Ma Chao held a tiger-headed golden gun and shouted loudly. Countless people dismounted and knelt down to surrender!
"The general's divine power is invincible!"
"Capture the thief first and capture the king first. Our army did not waste a single soldier, but instead captured countless Huns!"
"We will make great achievements again!"
Ma Chao was not lost in the compliments of the soldiers. Instead, he dismounted and raised Jiang Wei's hand.
"The first contributor to this battle is Bo Yue! Without his advice, how could our army defeat the Huns so easily?"
Jiang Wei won Ma Chao's trust with his strength, and everyone in the Xiliang army kept shouting Jiang Wei's name.
Just capturing more than 20,000 Huns soldiers, how to arrange them is also a huge problem.
Ma Chaoshan was too lazy to think about it and left the matter to Jiang Wei.
As a disciple of the Prime Minister, Jiang Wei used his brains to take all 20,000 prisoners to his mentor Zhuge Liang!
If the apprentice cannot think of something, he will naturally trouble the master.
…
Han army camp.
Liu Bei was naturally overjoyed when he heard that Ma Chao and Jiang Wei had made military exploits.
Until he saw more than 20,000 Xiongnu prisoners, his expression suddenly turned from sunny to gloomy.
"Prime Minister... Meng Qi and Bo Yue, these two brats! They seized all the horses and sent them to me!"
Liu Bei always felt that everything Ma Chao and Jiang Wei did was thanks to a certain traitor!
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and continued to listen to Liu Bei's complaints.
"You think these 20,000 Huns are useless?"
"They don't know how to farm, they only know how to fight on horseback, but they have just been captured, how can I trust them?"
"If you keep it, it's a waste of food. If you let it go, you're afraid they'll come back!"
Now the battle in Chang'an is a stalemate between the two sides, and no one wants to add 20,000 mouths!
"Your Majesty, I have a plan that will spread the name of my lord's benevolence to the grassland and consume Chang'an's military supplies."
"I beg your Majesty to take 20,000 Xiongnu prisoners and place them all under Chang'an City."
Zhuge Liang's move is tantamount to giving Cao Zhang and Jia Xu a choice.
Accepting prisoners would create 20,000 more mouths and accelerate the consumption of Chang'an's military rations.
If they don't accept prisoners, then let these 20,000 people fend for themselves. Then we will see who among the many tribes in the grassland is still willing to sacrifice their lives for Cao Pi.
"Prime Minister, this move of yours is really damaging!"
Liu Bei clapped his hands and praised him, and after calling him an expert, he realized that he was outspoken for a moment.
"Ahem! I'm saying that the Prime Minister has a wonderful plan!"
"Your Majesty, Liang didn't hear anything just now."
Soon, the Han army directly released 20,000 Xiongnu prisoners.
Without saying a word, this group of people went straight to the gate of Chang'an City, scaring Cao Zhang and Jia Xu into confusion on the spot.
"We are following the order of Emperor Wei to fight the Han army!"
"Now that King Youxian and King Youguli have been killed, we have no way to go!"
"Open the door quickly and let us in!"
Cao Zhang looked troubled at this time, obviously not wanting to take over this group of prisoners.
Jia Xu smiled sinisterly, "King Ren, you might as well open the door! I have thought of a way to recycle waste!"
