"This matter depends on yourself. If you don't want to fight, just kill those Lord Hu. If you want to fight, then fight."

Yan Wan said indifferently.

Ma Chao smiled coldly, walked behind her, and reached out to hold her shoulders.

"I won't surrender, so I thought about it and decided to fight!"

"Oh, that's fine, just fight."

Yan Wan continued to lower her head and comb her hair. Ma Chao looked at the pretty face of the woman in the bronze mirror, reached out to hold her smooth jaw, forced her to look at her, looked at her beautiful eyes, and smiled:

"You don't care at all that I will defeat your husband or your brother's elite soldiers?"

"What if you care?" Yan Wan sneered, gently knocked Ma Chao's palm down, lowered her hair again. "Just like you tied me to the front of the formation to humiliate you, those people may care, but they will never withdraw, and they will not fall into your plan to send troops to rescue him."

"You're right." Ma Chao withdrew his palm, nodded, looked at Yan Wan in the mirror, and then smiled again:

"There is a legend in the cold land that everyone has changed from birds and beasts in their lifetime. You said that in front of your brother, you often pretend to be a frightened and pitiful rabbit, and in front of your husband, there is another arrogant and bold breast tiger. When you come to me, you become a lamb with a down-eyed and flattering look. What do you think you are?"

"Hahaha." Yan Wan let out a crisp laugh like a bell. She turned her head to look at Ma Chao, and reached out to touch his smiling but still cold face.

"Women are fickle. Actually, I am not what you are talking about. I am just a snake, a colorful poisonous snake that can change anytime and anywhere!"

The woman's voice was gentle and continuous, but Ma Chao took a breath of air conditioning, and his pupils instantly shrank, but soon the breath between his breath became hot.

"Yes, you are a venomous snake, a beautiful venomous snake."

···

Since Ma Chao decided, he no longer hesitated. The uneasiness in his heart was deeply hidden. The next day, he immediately sent troops, leaving only a small number of troops, requiring them to confuse the Yan army in Xuanwei's direction for more than three days before they could retreat north. He and the tribes such as Ejian's concubine, Zhiyuanduo and other tribes carried their troops, armour and dry food, and rushed to the northwest lightly, preparing to cross the quicksand and appear behind Yang Feng and Zhang Liao's troops.

The quicksand Gobi is a dangerous forbidden area for the Han army. Although it is not smooth for the Qiang and Hu people, it is much safer.

The Hu people were familiar with this quicksand, just like they were familiar with their homes. They were always able to find water sources and places to hide from wind and sand in the quicksand valley. This made them not have any concerns about water shortages or wind and sand attacks. Their men were able to move forward in the quicksand valley until they walked out of the desolate land in front of them.

Even so, some exhausted war horses died on the way, which took one more day than planned.

On the sixth day after departure, the cavalry of Ma Chao and others finally appeared in Zhangye.

They ran excitedly towards the west bank of Ruoshui, preparing to follow the river, appeared behind the troops of Yang Feng, Zhang Liao and others, and together with Ding Ling, they attacked Yan Jun who was pursuing them in depth.

However, when they arrived at the shore of Ruoshui River, they soon discovered that what they were facing was not Yan Jun’s unprepared back, but the ambush that was set up on three sides and ready to wait.

This is fake information from the west, and the fake information sent by the Dingling people.

Yang Feng, Pang De, Zhang Liao and others' troops set up traps early with the help of Ding Ling's people and waited for their work. They had been lurking here for a long time.

The Qiang and Hu knights who knew they were ambushed were angry. They caught up with the Dingling envoy who had no time to escape and shot him from behind. However, the surging Yan army infantry and cavalry quickly surrounded them from all directions. The sound of the golden drum horns resounded throughout the battlefield, and a carefully arranged ambush battle was launched.

On a high ground by the river.

Yan Xing, the general of the cavalry, who was guarded by a group of soldiers, was looking down from a high place to see the fierce battle on the battlefield.

"General, the Qiang and Hu cavalry on the battlefield are nearly 7,000. It can be said that most of the rebellious Qiang and Hu tribes are here!"

Fa Zheng reported to Yan Xing that it was difficult to suppress excitement in his words.

Although the journey of pacifying Yongliang was smooth, there were still many hidden dangers. After this battle, the Qiang and Hu soldiers and horses of the rebellion in Hexi were all captured in one go, and those Hu Chiefs who did not accept the king's transformation were also awarded the title one after another. Fa Zheng could foresee that at least in the next few years, when Qiang and Hu were frightened when they heard the Yan army's troops, they would fight and fight, and the officials and soldiers guarding Liang land would be more adept at promulgating the prefecture and county government orders in Liang land.

He had no doubt that his troops would soon win.

In fact, the form of the battlefield was indeed as expected by Fazheng. In addition to a small number of fierce Qiang and Hu soldiers and horses still charging forward, many of the Qiang and Hu tribes were already timid and ready to leave the battlefield and attempt to retreat to the rear.

How could Yan Jun, who had been preparing for a long time, let them retreat as they wished?

Pu Gulu, Wulouji, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Quan Queye and other Hu Han generals each brought their troops and cut off the rebels' retreat route and joined the battle to encircle and suppress the rebellion of Qiang and Hu.

Yan Xing looked at this scene calmly. He saw that the Qiang and Hu soldiers were cut off into several parts to fight each other. Under the command of Yang Feng, Pang De, Zhang Liao and other generals, the number of people and horses was decreasing sharply, and it was constantly submerged in the waves of the Yan army's infantry and cavalry.

Ma Chao, who was only in silver armor and white robe, was still rushing to fight. He led his personal guards and cavalry to clash, and seemed to want to turn the tide with his bravery. However, as the personal guards and cavalry fell one after another, his charging horse gradually slowed down, and his body was covered in blood. He was like a mad tiger and was finally surrounded in the dense forest of spears.

The winner has been decided, but there is not much smile on Yan Xing's face.

At this time, Zhang also walked up with a tall Hu man.

"General, Sidingling's tribe's lord is here."

Zhang respectfully reported to Yan Xing. When Huang Chi looked at the Han officials in front of him, he was quite resistant to the humble behavior of his tribe. However, when he saw the terrifying massacre on the battlefield in the distance, he had to lower his arrogant head and bow in front of Yan Xing as what Zhang Ju taught in advance, he said in his newly learned Chinese words:

"Since Hu Yi's order, pay homage to General Hu's cavalry!"

Yan Xing moved his eyes and looked at the tall Hu man who was lying on the ground. After waiting for a while, he asked Zhang Ju to pass the message and asked the Ding Linghu's tribe's master to get up and speak.

After receiving the order to stand up and speak, Yuchi stood up again, but this time he learned to bend slightly and say in the language of his tribe:

"General, our tribe has sent envoys to bring the troops of the rebel tribes such as Lu Shuihu to here according to your order. Look, your army on the battlefield has also won successfully, and you will soon be able to quell the rebellion. So I think you should also fulfill your promise on time and give the rich water and soil of Juyanze to the Dingling tribe who is loyal to you and serves on your behalf, and release the captured Dingling people."

According to the idea of ​​the imperial edict, if they could not defeat these powerful Han troops, they would continue to migrate with women, children, livestock, carriages and horses, looking for new pastures and homes. However, many nobles in the tribe were already fascinated by Juyanze, the "Little Beihai" mentioned by the wizards of their tribe, and refused to leave. In addition, some important nobles were captured by Yang Feng's troops during the battle, so under the coercion and temptation of the Han people, they finally reached an agreement with the Han general.

The Dingling people surrendered and loyal to Yan Xing, and lured the rebel soldiers and horses such as Lu Shuihu to come for Yan Xing. In return, Yan Xing would release the captured Dingling people and give Ju Yanze to the Dingling people as their home and pasture, and reproduce here for generations.

Therefore, he must ask the Han general to fulfill his promise as soon as possible.

At present, the rebellious Qiang and Hu soldiers were already unable to fly. While the humble and hunched, the Hu Chi was also worried that the Han general would go back on his word. You should know that in the legends on the grassland, the Han nobles and officials have always been treacherous and cunning.

To his surprise, after listening to the translator's translation message, the Han general showed no evil as he had imagined. He showed a kind smile and asked the translator to tell Yuchi completely.

"Your tribe has made contributions and should receive rewards. Don't worry, you can now bring back your captured people and horses, and that land with abundant water and grass, to your tribe."

After listening to the translator's words, Yi Chi was overjoyed. He laughed happily and wanted to express his gratitude according to the customs of his tribe, but he was wary of many soldiers armed with soldiers. The Han general did not blame him and waved his hand and asked someone to retreat with Yi Chi to claim his troops and take him back.

When Fa Zheng walked down to the high ground, he spoke again. He whispered to Yan Xing:

"General, these migrant Dinglinghu people surrendered with ulterior motives. They kept their men and gave them such a rich water plant in Juyanze. This would not be a good thing for the long-term stability of Hexi."

"Gu Zhi." Yan Xing glanced at Fa Zheng and continued:

"I know that at this time, Liangzhou does not want any praises of the far-reaching and noble return, but the tranquility after iron and blood. Hexi must be settled."

Fa Zheng consciously closed his mouth, and Yan Xing turned his gaze again on the distant battlefield where the battle was coming to an end.
