Soon, three personal guards were called back, and they reported to Zuo Feng that they heard some words later and could confirm that the people at the foot of the west mountain were the envoys sent by Xu Miao.

So Ma Dai was completely relieved, summoned all eighteen personal guards, explained the whole story, and made detailed arrangements for the night's attack and killing operation.

In the middle of the night, Ma Dai and his party quietly arrived at the mountainside where Ma Cang and others had been hiding during the day. They used hooks to get down to the ground and suddenly launched an attack on several tents.

The Wei people in the tent did not react in time and were killed in a matter of seconds. When the guarding Qiang soldiers heard the noise and rushed over, they only saw six corpses. Due to Ma Dai's identity and reputation, they did not dare to make decisions without authorization.

He quickly reported it to his own king.

He was so shocked that he rushed to the scene and saw that none of Xu Miao's envoys were left. He immediately became furious, pointed at Ma Dai and shouted angrily: "General Zhonghua, you are so brave. How dare you act like this on such territory?"

?It’s really too much!”

"Your Majesty, why are you nagging him? Let's do it." Shao Ge suggested.

After hearing this, Ma Cang and others quickly drew out their swords and protected Ma Dai in the middle. Ma Dai just stared at Hung He coldly without saying a word.

Hung He was so shocked by him that he didn't dare to really turn his back on her for a while, and couldn't help but think about the pros and cons of taking action.

"Brother Hungry, how could I have made such a move unless I had to? However, by hiding the Wei people here, are you not being friendly enough? You are playing tricks on a certain family."

Hung He was a little embarrassed when he heard this and wanted to explain: "General Zhonghua, I, I..."

"You and I have a tacit understanding of this matter, so let's just let it go."

Ma Dai gave Hung He a step up, and then said: "Are you really going to fall out with Ma? These Wei people are dead, can you really get rid of it? I'm afraid no matter how you explain it, Xu Miao will think that you are colluding.

We Han people probably did it.

So why should Brother Hungry have any illusions about Cao Wei anymore? Why not just make up your mind to submit to me, the great Han? This is the most beneficial solution to the Shaodang tribe."

Hungry He groaned: "This..."

"Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. Ma Dai acted like this tonight. He clearly doesn't take us Qiang people seriously. If he surrenders like this, he will be treated harshly in the future." Seeing that his king was showing signs of persuasion, he was burning on the side.

Ge quickly advised.

Ma Dai sneered and said to Shao Ge: "Why, brother Shao Ge has benefited so much from Xu Miao that he is facing the pseudo-Wei like this."

"You're talking nonsense. I just don't want the tribe to be in danger or get involved in the dispute between you Shu Han and Cao Wei." Shao Ge hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to the tribe, how could I..."

Hungry He waved his hand, turned his head and interrupted Shao Ge: "Okay, no need to say more, I believe in your loyalty."

Then he clasped his fists at Ma Dai and said: "General Zhonghua is both wise and brave, and he still has the same demeanor as before. I am willing to join hands with the general again to serve the great Han Dynasty."

"Your Majesty." Seeing that he had made a decision, Shao Ge shouted quickly.

Hungry He glanced at Shao Ge coldly: "Well..." Upon seeing this, Shao Ge lowered his head and did not dare to say anything again.

"Haha, Brother He has already made such a decision, why would Ma have to do this?" Ma Dai laughed.

Hung He Ye smiled and said: "Haha, sooner rather than later, now is the right time." After a pause, he stepped forward and held Ma Dai's hand: "Let's go, you and I will go to the big tent to discuss it in detail.

"

After a night of conversations, King Hung He of the Shaodang Qiang officially chose to surrender to Ji Han. A few days later, under the call of the Shaodang Qiang, more than ten Qiang and Hu tribes secretly sent envoys to Dayu Valley to discuss the plan of conquering Wei with Ma Dai.

At this point, Ma Dai Liangzhou and his party had successfully completed the task of recruiting the Qiang and Hu, and returned to Nan'an after making an alliance with Hung He and others.

Wuwei County, Guzang County, where the administrative seat of Liangzhou is located.

Xu Miao, the governor of Liangzhou in Cao Wei, was in a very bad mood today. No, it should be said that he had not been in a good mood in the past few months, but he was most depressed today.

The reason was that he received news that most of the envoys he sent to the Qiang and Hu tribes had been killed, which meant that most of the Qiang and Hu tribes in Liangzhou had gone to Ji Han.

This news was another heavy blow to the current pessimistic situation in Liangzhou, causing Xu Miao, who had always been calm and composed, to become a little panicked.

In fact, not long ago, the Ji Han general Wei Yan who was originally stationed in Shanggui suddenly led his troops to move westward, joined forces with the Han general Chen Shi in Nan'an, and pointed directly at Liangzhou, which shocked Jincheng, Wuwei and other places every day.

Xu Miao was very busy trying to stabilize the morale of the people and prevent the Han army from attacking, which made him exhausted both physically and mentally.

Unexpectedly, fires broke out in their own backyards before the Han army came over. Many tribes not only refused to accept the government's dispatch of troops and food, but also boldly killed the envoys and colluded with the Han army.

This was a blatant betrayal of the imperial court. When Xu Miao learned about it, he was furious and anxious. He quickly summoned the civil and military officials in the city to discuss how to deal with it.

"Everyone, the current situation has reached an extremely critical stage. Not only is Shu general Wei Yan's army in Nan'an and may send troops to invade the country at any time, but most of the Qiang and Hu commanders have secretly communicated with the Shu thieves and are on the side of Western Shu.

According to detailed reports, Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Dai secretly sneaked into Liangzhou a few days ago and used the name of his Ma family to seduce these Qiang and Hu people.

It is reported that more than ten tribes have made an alliance with Ma Dai. As soon as the Shu army arrives, they will immediately take action and cooperate with the Shu army internally and externally." When everyone arrived, Xu Miao introduced the current situation with a serious face.

.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Ping, the general of the state army, couldn't help but said angrily: "These Qiang and Hu are really looking for death. Are they deceiving our officers and soldiers because their swords are not sharp? Sir, has Ma Dai ever been captured?"

"No." Xu Miao sighed, shook his head and said, "By the time I found out the traces of this person, he had already gone far away. I am afraid he has returned to Nan'an now."

Wei Ping was helpless after hearing this and could only curse: "Hateful!"

"Your Majesty, there is Wei Yan outside and there is rebellion inside. The situation is extremely dangerous. Please hurry up and report to the court and ask the emperor to send troops to rescue!" Li Mai, who joined the army, said to Xu Miao anxiously.

Xu Miao said: "How could I not want the imperial court to send troops to support me? But now that Longyou is lost and the road is cut off, it is not easy to get in touch with the imperial court?"

Two months ago, the imperial envoy finally made a detour from the northern grassland to announce the edict.

However, spies recently reported that the attitude of the Qiang and Hu in the Henan area has become increasingly ambiguous, and the Sichuan thieves are patrolling north of Anding day and night, so even if we take a detour through the desert, it will be difficult to pass."

"But we can't just sit back and wait for death." Li Mai said anxiously.

Xu Miao said: "Of course it can't be like this. I will write a few more memorials and letters asking for help later, and send out a few more groups of envoys to ask them to take a detour from the grassland to General Chang'an and the Luoyang court to ask for help. As for Your Majesty and the General,

Whether you receive it or not, you have to leave it to fate."
