Chapter 457 Ma Chao Spreads Chaos in Liangzhou! Joyful News in the Jiang Family: The Birth of a Youn
"What!?"
"Xiahou Yuan led Cao Cao's cavalry to capture Wuwei?"
On the official road leading to Wuwei, Ma Chao's sky fell!
Ma Dai looked helpless.
“Brother, Xiahou Yuan is skilled at long-distance raids, while we came back by boat across the Wei River, which is much slower than his speed.”
After saying this, Ma Chao roared to the sky in anger.
Like a gorilla, its roar was incredibly captivating.
Ma Dai, however, was completely absorbed in watching.
"So be it, Wuwei is lost, so be it."
"That scoundrel Xiahou Yuan thinks that if I lose my military prestige, I'll have nowhere to go."
"But I have plenty of places to go!"
The vengeful glint in Ma Chao's eyes did not fade; instead, it intensified.
Ma Dai quickly expressed his determination to follow Ma Chao to the death:
"Wherever my elder brother goes, I will follow you."
Ma Chao said with satisfaction:
“Ma Dai, you are still the most understanding and the best to your brother.”
Ma Dai gave a shy smile:
“Brother, this is all I should do.”
……
A few days later
Ma Chao arrived at the nearest Di tribe.
The Qiang, Di, and Jie tribes were quite different from the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Southern Xiongnu.
Although the latter three still retained the tribal system, they had actually formed a model with the Great Chanyu as the head and the commanders of ten thousand men as the autonomous leaders, which was more like a feudal system.
When encountering foreign enemies or initiating a war, the appointed commander of ten thousand men is required to lead his troops to the royal court immediately to accept the command of the Great Chanyu.
The Qiang, Di, and Jie tribes, on the other hand, did not have a Great Chanyu; instead, each tribe governed itself independently.
The question is, is there no one within them who wants to step forward and unify the organization?
Yes, of course! Why wouldn't you?
Isn't Ma Chao one of them?
At this moment, news of Ma Chao's arrival was received.
The leader of the Di tribe hurriedly welcomed Ma Chao.
"Baihu Wen pays respects to General Shenwei Tian!"
Ma Chao walked past him without commenting.
Then, he sat down in Baihuwen's seat without a second thought.
Bai Huwen had no objection to this, and even lowered his head further, his eyes filled with respect for Ma Chao.
"Baihu Wen, how many soldiers do you have capable of fighting?"
Baihu Wen said with an embarrassed expression:
"Reporting to General Divine Might, my tribe has only six thousand warriors."
Ma Chao walked straight up to Bai Huwen and slapped him across the face!
"Only six thousand people? How have you managed all these years?"
Baihu Wen dared not breathe too loudly and said truthfully:
"I am incompetent, please forgive me, General Divine Might."
Ma Chao smiled and helped Baihu Wen up from the ground.
"I hit you just now because you weren't ambitious enough."
"Have you never thought about developing your tribe into a large tribe with more than 100,000 people?"
"Do you only want to stay in Liangzhou and not want to see the prosperity of the Central Plains?"
Bai Huwen swallowed hard.
"Yes, I do!"
"But my abilities are limited; I humbly request the guidance of the Divine General!"
Ma Chao was very satisfied with Bai Huwen's attitude, so he took the opportunity to incorporate Bai Huwen's tribe and promised Bai Huwen the big prize he wanted most.
Conquer the Central Plains and enjoy wealth and glory!
Speaking of Baihu Wen, he's Ma Chao's ultimate sycophant.
In the original history, it had been almost 230 years, and Ma Chao had been dead for many years.
Despite being over sixty years old, Baihu Wen defied public opinion and led all the tribe members south to Shu Han to seek refuge with Ma Dai!
His joining Ma Dai was a pretense; his true intention was to follow the legacy of Ma Chao, the divine general of the Qiang, Di, and Jie tribes, the true god of the three tribes!
of course.
Not everyone from the Qiang, Di, and Jie tribes is as easily fooled as Baihu Wen.
Ma Chao was well aware of the characteristics of the Qiang, Di, and Jie people.
He first recruited several leaders of medium-sized tribes, just as he had done with Baihuwen.
Subsequently, a meeting was held with the chief of a major tribe.
After the discussion, they decided that not only Liangzhou, but after conquering the Central Plains, the whole country would be under their control!
The leaders of the Qiang, Di, and Jie tribes had never seen such a large pancake before.
During the time of Ma Teng and Han Sui, they wouldn't have dared to even imagine it!
During Dong Zhuo's time, any foreigners who dared to act recklessly would become his targets for a brutal beating!
Only Ma Chao is one of their own who truly cares about them!
The Divine General of Heaven truly became the only god among the Qiang, Di, and Jie tribes.
In order to deal with Xiahou Yuan, Ma Chao devised a detailed and meticulous plan.
In short, they divided their forces to plunder the remaining resources of various counties in Liangzhou, keeping Xiahou Yuan busy and exhausted!
At the same time, nearly ten armies of foreign tribes, each numbering over ten thousand, marched towards the twelve prefectures of Liangzhou.
At this moment, all the powerful warlords in the twelve prefectures of Liangzhou had been drawn into the coalition by Han Sui, and most of them were unable to return.
Therefore, among the twelve prefectures, except for Tianshui Prefecture, the remaining prefectures basically had little defensive strength.
The next few days.
Xiahou Yuan received urgent messages from several military units.
Helpless, he cursed Ma Chao for being shameless, and could only split up his troops with Zhao Yun and Cao Chun to go to various counties to provide support.
……
at the same time
Tianshui County
Ancestral home of the local powerful Jiang family
A loud cry rang out from the bedroom.
"Master, look!"
"The lady has given birth! She has given birth! It's a boy!"
The midwife walked out of the delivery room in high spirits.
A man who had been waiting outside the delivery room rushed inside.
Seeing the wrinkled little boy, the man tapped his nose and chuckled:
From now on, you will be called "Wei'er".
Then, the man turned to his wife, who was lying on the bed beside him, and said:
"Madam, you have worked hard."
"I, Jiang Jiong, finally have a son, all thanks to my wife!"
"Husband, let me see the child too."
Mrs. Jiang couldn't wait to have Jiang Jiong bring the child over so she could see him.
Seeing the child's little hands moving constantly, Madam Jiang said happily:
"When Wei'er grows up, he will definitely be an ambitious, brave, and resourceful young man!"
Jiang Jiong nodded repeatedly.
After six years of marriage, he and his wife finally had their first child.
Although Jiang Jiong's branch is not the direct line of the old Jiang family, his cousin Jiang Xu is.
But the arrival of the eldest son gave Jiang Jiong even more motivation.
From now on, he will work harder to build a substantial fortune for his son!
Upon learning that Jiang Jiong had a legitimate eldest son, Jiang Xu, the current head of the Jiang family, was also very happy.
He personally prepared a generous gift and sent it to Mr. and Mrs. Jiang.
But it was completely different from the joy of the Jiang family.
Tianshui County is about to be plunged into an unprecedented disaster.
Tianshui is different from the other eleven counties of Liangzhou.
Due to Tianshui's unique topography.
In addition, powerful families like the Jiang family stood up to unite the soldiers and civilians of Tianshui.
Therefore, to this day, Tianshui has not become the base of any Liangzhou warlord.
The Guanzhong coalition led by Han Sui, Lü Bu, Ma Chao, and others did not cause any damage to Tianshui.
But precisely because of this, Tianshui became a highly sought-after prize in Liangzhou.
Ma Chao, like a hungry wolf, had his eyes on it with great eagerness!
