Chapter 270 The Qiang Rebellion

Wuwei County, Guzang City.

"Brother Shoucheng, Brother Shoucheng." A scribe frowned and walked quickly into the Liangzhou army camp outside Guzang City. The 10,000 soldiers under Teng's command were the elite in all battles, so the scribe came to find Ma Teng in a hurry.

Ma Teng was sitting in the tent, and when he heard the shouts outside the tent, he couldn't help but look outside the tent curiously.

"Which one?"

"Brother Shoucheng, it's me."

Ma Teng took a closer look, and it turned out to be Cheng Gongying. He joined the army under Han Sui's account and was quite resourceful. military.

"Brother Cheng, why are you looking for me?"

Cheng Gongying's face was solemn: "Brother Shoucheng, the Qiang people have rebelled!"

"What?" Ma Teng was taken aback, and then he said angrily: "Didn't Zhou Mu let them go? Why are these Qiang people so ignorant of good and bad? It's really too much."

Cheng Gongying shook his head: "It's not the Qiang people who were released by the state herdsmen for rebellion, but the Huangzhong Hu rebellion for some reason."

Huangzhong Hu was originally a branch of the military force of the Han Dynasty, similar to today's foreign legion, as the minion of the Han Dynasty to deter the western region, Beigong Boyu who stirred up wind and rain in Liangzhou was born in Huangzhong Yicong Hu's branch.

Huang Zhongyi Conghu has the professional nature of the army. Once the rebellion succeeds, it is bound to shake the Han Dynasty's rule in Liangzhou.

Ma Teng frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Cheng, you should go and count the grain, grass and military equipment. At a certain point, 8,000 elite soldiers will set off immediately. The aim is to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible, otherwise this group of Huangzhong righteous It’s not good from Hu Chengshi.”

Cheng Gongying nodded: "I'm going to prepare."

Not half an hour later, the gates of the camp outside Guzang City opened wide, and 8,000 elite soldiers swept out of the camp and headed north.

In Guzang City, Ma Teng's mansion.

Ma Teng's wife sat quietly at home, feeling a little strange: the husband should have returned by this time in the past, why hasn't he seen anyone yet? Probably because of the busy affairs in the military, Madam Ma comforted herself.

"Mom, hasn't Daddy come back yet?"

The young Ma Chao stepped out of the courtyard and shouted to Mrs. Ma. Ma Chao is fifteen years old this year, his figure is nearly seven feet tall, and his face is as white as jade. If you don't look at that slightly immature face, you may think that you are a man of middle age.

Mrs. Ma beckoned and signaled Ma Chao to come to her: "Not yet, your father is probably busy with military affairs, is Chao'er hungry? Come over and have some cooked food."

Ma Chao shook his head: "The child is not hungry, let's wait until the father comes back."

The mother and son sat for a while, chatting some gossip, when the sound of horseshoes outside the house suddenly sounded.

"Ma'am! Huang Zhongyi conghu rebelled, Captain Ma has already personally led troops to put down the rebellion, and Mr. Cheng sent someone to tell Madam, there is no need to wait for Captain Ma." A knight jumped off his horse and reported inside.

Mrs. Ma frowned: "Huang Zhongyi follows Hu"

"Yes, ma'am."

"What? Daddy is going to fight, why don't you take your child with you? My child's Fubo spear skills have been learned a little bit, and even Zhou Mu and Uncle Juanyi praised my marksmanship." Ma Chao heard that Ma Teng led troops to fight It was a big disappointment, and I regretted that I was not able to participate in it.

"Shut up, you little kid, what do you know about leading troops to fight? Aren't you making trouble for your father by going there?" Mrs. Ma reprimanded immediately after hearing Ma Chao's words.

"Mother, my son has really achieved something in his studies. If you don't believe me, take a look." Ma Chao refused to accept, he was fifteen years old, Qin Guogan Luo was twelve years old, and Ma Chao was fifteen years old but had nothing.

"Tell your younger brothers to come over for dinner." Madam Ma said with a calm face to the knight who reported the news: "Thank you for your hard work. Please receive some rewards and go back to rest."

"snort!"

Hearing Mrs. Ma's reprimand, Ma Chao went to the back room unconvinced, and shouted loudly: "Dixiu, Brother Tie, Brother Dai, come out for dinner."

The two children Matthew and Ma Tie rushed out of the house immediately when they heard their elder brother's call, without even looking at their elder brother, they ran straight to the main room.

But Ma Dai was older, and walked to Ma Chao's side calmly: "Brother, let's go."

Ma Chao nodded, and walked into the main room with Ma Dai. At the banquet, Ma Chao mentioned to Mrs. Ma that he wanted to go to Ma Teng's army, but was reprimanded by Mrs. Ma for a while, looking gloomy and unable to eat.

After finally making it to the afternoon, Ma Chao couldn't bear it anymore, and complained in a low voice: "Daddy leads the army, why not use a son?"

Ma Dai comforted him: "The soldiers are fierce and the battle is dangerous. Uncle is also worried about what will happen to my brother. Besides, you and I are still young, so it's better to practice martial arts at home."

Ma Chao shook his head: "No, I have to help my father this time. Since my mother won't let me go, I will go secretly."

Ma Dai was taken aback: "Go secretly?"

"Follow me." Ma Chao waved his hand and strode forward. Ma Dai didn't know what Ma Chao was going to do, but he hurriedly followed.

There was a burst of laughter in the backyard, and I saw two children, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, laughing and grabbing around, having fun, but Ma Chao stopped them.

"Brother Xiu, Brother Tie, you two come here."

When Ma Xiu and Ma Tie heard Ma Chao's voice, they immediately ran over and stood in front of Ma Chao.

"Brother, what's the matter with the two of us?"

Ma Chao stared at his two younger brothers, and put his arms around the backs of their heads respectively: "Brother Xiu, Brother Tie, Huang Zhongyi rebelled against Hu, and Daddy led the army to put down the rebellion. Brother Wei is determined to help Daddy, but mother is sure." Don’t let me, don’t tell mother today, tell me in a few days, you know?”

Matthew clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay, big brother will help daddy fight, and Xiu'er will go too."

Ma Chao shook his head: "You two are too young. After a few years, practice the family-inspired gun skills well, and my brother will take you there."

"All right."

Seeing that the two younger brothers agreed, Ma Chao was overjoyed, and then sneaked into Ma's warehouse with Ma Dai.

There are more than a dozen armors in the warehouse, each of which is well preserved. Ma Chao and Ma Dai each chose a pair. The two are young and their bodies are slightly thin, but they are barely suitable.

Ma Dai glanced at Ma Chao, enviously said: "Brother, your armor is so beautiful."

I saw that Ma Chao was wearing a silver armor and a golden lion helmet on his head. With that handsome face, he was really a young general with red lips and white teeth.

Ma Chao didn't take it seriously: "Let's go, Daddy won't be able to travel for half a day, you and I will definitely catch up."

After all, Ma Chao and Ma Dai led dozens of soldiers and galloped out of the city. Dozens of cavalry galloped out of the city and headed north.
