Chapter 55: The Mourning Star


"The girl was locked up in the wing room without any trouble."

After all, Cai Yan was the daughter of a great scholar who had been educated by Cai Yong for many years.

Although she had a small temper, she would never show it in front of others.

After Ma Chao heard this answer, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was still thinking about how to use Han Sui's daughter in exchange for the greatest benefit, but he didn't notice Cai Yan's increasingly dark complexion at all.

Poor Ma Chao really doesn't understand his daughter's heart.

If Ma Chao was smarter and more transparent at this time, and said some emotional words to Cai Yan affectionately, the distance between the two would definitely be narrowed.

In fact, as long as you work hard enough, it is possible to make a lifelong decision privately.

It's a pity that this guy is not only an idiot, but even if he is wise, he would probably be more willing to find a mature woman who is full of the aura of a royal sister.

As for movies about little girls like Cai Yan with no breasts and no butt, I'm afraid he wouldn't be interested at all.

Later, from Cai Yan's mouth, Ma Chao roughly knew what happened to him after he was unconscious these days: during the battle on the grassland, with the arrival of Lu Bu and Ma Teng's rush to help, the Iron and Qiang Alliance was attacked from both sides.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were killed and defeated.

In that battle, the Qiang tribe beheaded more than 10,000 people and were chased for nearly a hundred miles.

Many die-hard Iron and Qiang Alliance tribes were slaughtered.

As for the property obtained, except for sending it to Lu Bu to report his merits, all was transported back to Fufeng County.

After that battle, there was endless turmoil within the Iron Qiang League.

The Baima Qiang and Qingyi Qiang made the first choice and moved their entire clan to the north of Beidi County in the Han Dynasty.

Later, after the Huangyang Qiang Duotamu annexed the power of the Canniu Qiang, they also showed their favor to Ma Teng and moved to the border of the Han Dynasty together.

After that, the newly elected leader of the Blackwater Qiang also decided to move the entire clan.

In the end, some small tribes that had interacted with Ma Teng, such as the Xianling Qiang, Zhongcun Qiang and other Qiang people, all moved to the border of the Han Dynasty after wiping out the die-hard Iron Qiang Alliance tribes whose strength was greatly reduced.

At this point, the Qiang people officially split within themselves.

Most of the tribes of the die-hard Tie Qiang League were called Western Qiang because they were stationed in the western frontiers of the Han Dynasty; while the Qiang tribes close to Ma Teng were called Eastern Qiang.

What troubled Ma Chao the most was that during the chaos, Yan Xing saw the opportunity early and actually led his bodyguards to break out and rush out.

Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh that Yan Xing was really tough.

But overall, the current situation is very good, and it is finally developing according to my expectations.

Moreover, the saying that wealth can be found in danger is truly true.

Although he was in a lot of dangers during this period, he also got many unexpected surprises: Now in Fufeng County, there are Jia Xu and Han Feng in Wen, Pang De and Brother Chou in Wu, and Meng Ta and Meng Da are in the middle to coordinate.

It is not considered to be full of talents, but it can be regarded as a team.

Moreover, don’t forget that Ma Chao is not the only one in the Ma family.

Ma Chao’s younger brothers Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie are three generals.

Although they are not as shining as Ma Chao, they are not third-rate generals.

Especially Ma Dai, history His style is calm and thoughtful, and in terms of force, he is slightly higher than those second-rate military generals.

What's more valuable is that Ma Dai is already fourteen years old this year and can already use it to practice.

In terms of power, Fufeng County was not plundered by the Chang'an Rebellion at this time.

It was a time when the people were prosperous and the army was well-fed.

Coupled with the wealth plundered from this faraway grassland, it could be said that it was the icing on the cake and that it was rich.

With these foundations, Ma Chao believes that it will not be a problem for him to successfully carry out the vegetable garden, iron shop, and barracks projects.

By then, as long as Fufeng County's economic growth is ahead of other parts of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it will be a sure win whether it is marching to build a city or occupying a powerful position.

In terms of diplomacy, he was even more at home at this time.

He first obtained the imperial edict and then connected with Dong Zhuo.

Judging from the current situation, Butcher Dong will live happily in the Chang'an court for at least two years.

As long as Dong Zhuo does not fall, the Ma family's status will not be in danger.

As for the Qiang people, Ma Teng has now fought against Han Sui. , and both parties are currently experiencing internal instability.

I believe that the two families will be in peace for a long time.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao was served by Cai Yan and ate some goat milk porridge again, feeling increasingly warm in his heart and body.

Although his body was still weak, relying on Cai Yan's thin body and looking at Cai Yan's young daughter-in-law's calm care and girlish tenderness, she actually felt a little different.

"Yan'er, why didn't I see my father or anyone else when I woke up at noon?"

After realizing the little discomfort in his heart, Ma Chao started to look for words.

"General Pingxi and other generals are resisting the enemy at the city gate, so" Cai Yan originally felt a little embarrassed and was trying to concentrate on feeding Ma Chao.

As a result, he accidentally forgot his father's instructions.

"What?"

How could Ma Chao not be excited when he heard the news?

Cai Yan also realized his gaffe at this time.

Seeing Ma Chao being so excited, he hurriedly said: "Brother Chao, don't worry.

My father said that although there are many thieves this time, they are a mob and vulnerable.

And our side General Pingxi is kind and brave, and Fufeng County Baixin works together to defeat the enemy in just a few days."

"Who are the thieves outside the city?"

Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a little strange.

It is said that although Ma Teng is not powerful now, he is by no means a soft persimmon.

Moreover, the walls of Fufeng County are high and thick, and he has the support of the imperial court behind him.

Now besides Han Sui, who else has the courage to attack the city and rebel so blatantly?

"Yan'er doesn't know about this, but my father accidentally mentioned that they should be the bandits that Han Sui conquered.

Because two of the leaders were named Li Kan and the other was named Cheng."

Cai Yan frowned and tried to remember.

Information that Cai Yong had no intention of saying at that time.

But she is a little girl after all, and she heard that the offensive outside is not very serious.

Since she cannot leave Fufeng County in the short term, she doesn't know much else.

"Cheng Yin" Ma Chao interrupted at the right moment.

"Yes, it's Cheng Yin."

Cai Yan suddenly became excited, put down the spoon and bowl in his hand, and continued to ask: "Brother Chao, how do you know these things?

This is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away."

Before Ma Chao could reply, Cai Yanyou continued and muttered to himself: "Those generals who are strategizing are also tipped off.

And Brother Chao can guess the lives of these bandits when he is in a coma.

He is really better than those generals.

Even more powerful” Listening to Cai Yan's chirping words, Ma Chao's mood relaxed: Ma Teng now has more than 20,000 Xiliang cavalry in his hands, plus 10,000 county soldiers.

There are two other capable generals under his command, Pang De and Chou Ge.

In addition, there is also the old fox Jia Xu sitting in charge.

Han Feng and Meng Da are not fuel-efficient lamps either.

Li Kan and Cheng Yin, without 60,000 to 70,000 troops, would not be able to capture Fufeng County no matter what.

However, even so, Ma Chao still felt a little uncomfortable.

Because he thought about it, wherever he went, he was accompanied by war: as soon as he crossed over, he went to chase down the rogue Qiang bandits; then he attacked Fufeng County in a cheap way; and later he wanted to play a fake show with Cai Yong, The result came true; in the end, it was even more amazing.

I took 10,000 Xiliang cavalry for a month-long trip outside the Great Wall, and almost lost my life there.

But now, just lying there, there are little thieves outside the city gate.

Could it be that I am the legendary: Sangmen Star:
