Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1039 Distinction between Qiang and Han
Although Ma Chao knew very well that Qiang cavalry's combat power was basically linked to nonsense, and in places like the Central Plains, they could basically only fight infantry, and even elite infantry might not be able to deal with them.

You must know that in the past when the Xiliang Qiang was in chaos, the Danyang elite soldiers cooperated with the Xiliang iron cavalry to crush the Qiang cavalry. Although they are not weaker than the Han people in terms of physical fitness, in this era, once the number exceeds a hundred, it is difficult for foreigners to fight. It is almost axiomatic to pass the army of the Han court, and even the foreigners themselves have admitted this reality.

Well, no matter how nonsensical Qiang cavalry's combat power is, at least it's quite good to play support and fight against the wind. After all, the number is there, and a large group of people rushing up, the momentum is still very strong.

Thinking about fighting with the wind, shouting and cheering can actually do a good job, so Ma Chao didn't care too much. He came to grab the Qiang King's position in fact just to stabilize the Qianghu and prevent their family from being regarded as the Qianghu by Cao Cao. The excuses have been cleaned up, but as for really using Qiang Hu as his subordinate, he can still give up.

Ma Chao is very clear about this point. The strength of the Qiang and Xianbei is really nothing. If they face the Han army head-on, they will definitely die. Cleaned up.

In fact, every time the Han Dynasty cleaned up Qianghu and Xianbei, they tied their arms and legs and beat them. Otherwise, it would be strange if Qianghu and Xianbei could take advantage.

However, regardless of whether the fighting power is strong or not, this is enough to show that the Qiang people really expressed their surrender. After all, the Qiang people's Jingqi, which is quite weak to Ma Chao, is already considered a strong fighting force for the Qiang people.

"I've met the Qiang king, but I don't know how the king plans to govern the Qiang people?" Xun You entered the king's tent and bowed to Ma Chao with a smile on his face. However, unlike before, this time Xun You obviously did not meet with the etiquette between Han officials. , but the etiquette for foreign ministers to meet princes and kings.

Although Ma Chao is quite straightforward, but after all, he was born as a prince and nobleman, he has also been exposed to all the etiquette that should be learned, and he knows that this is an understanding of what talents can use.

"Sir, why is this so? Although Meng Qi is the king of the Qiang, my father is still the general of the Han court conquering the west. The blood of the Qiang people flows in my body. Isn't there the blood of the Han people?" Ma Chao said calmly. , These Fazhengs have been explained to him clearly.

"So you first congratulate King Qiang here." Xun You bowed to his ministers to see the etiquette of princes and kings and saluted again.

"Sir, why do you need to do this? The Qiang and Han people trace their origins. In the end, they are just one ancestor. Why do you have to do this? The blood of the ancient Shennong family can flow in my body. Don't you recognize this blood and even the culture?" Inheritance?" Ma Chao mocked in a low voice.

What Fazheng taught Ma Chao was very simple. If Cao Cao talked about blood, then Ma Chao would talk about the ancient Shennong clan. After all, the Qiang and Han clans themselves are the same ancestors, and the blood flowing in their bodies has the blood of Shennong clan.

Similarly, if Cao Cao talked about culture, then Ma Chao only needed to make the same gesture. Ma Chao, after the prince, even if his family was in decline, he still had a good grasp of these things.

"How dare you doubt Meng Qi." Xun You shook his head, he already understood that nothing could be done, and Ma Chao had already made all the preparations with the help of someone.

"Sir, I am ashamed of receiving such a great gift. In my opinion, since the Qiang and Han people share the same ancestor, why should they be treated differently? Isn't it because the Qiang people plundered because they couldn't solve the food problem? Mr. Xun's family has more experience." Ma Chao looked at Xun You's majestic expression.

Before Xun You could answer, Ma Chao continued, "Sir, you can raise your hand and look at your clothes, and then look at the leaders of the ancient Qiang tribe. They are nobles who control the lives of others in a tribe. In comparison, you can understand better."

How could the clothes of the Qiang people be comparable to Xun You? Even if Xun You was not as exaggerated as Liu Xiang Xun Ling, it was definitely not something that these barbarians could adore. A simple and elegant Confucian robe was enough to shake off this group of ancient Qiang people who were still wearing sheep's clothing A few streets, not to mention the embellishment of the gold and jade hair crown, the difference between cloud and mud!

Xun You's complexion didn't change much. He already knew what Ma Chao was going to say, but he couldn't let Ma Chao finish his journey, so he said immediately, "My lord once wanted to improve the lives of all the people under his rule. Whether the people are Han or Qiang, It's just a hundred Qiangs fighting in chaos, how could we have a chance."

"I think now is an opportunity. The life of a hundred Qiang people in Xiliang is extremely difficult. For one bite of food, for a piece of pasture, for an oasis, many Qiang people fell down." Ma Chao's voice even carried a trace of pity, The tribal leaders present also looked a little miserable, Ma Chao was telling the truth.

"Comparing your lives, Mr. Xun, I'm afraid you all know the strength of the Han Dynasty. Are you willing to continue to live this kind of life?" Ma Chao said with a compassionate expression. He has practiced for a long time.

"Perhaps you think that with me, the Qiang King, leading you, you will reach the peak, but I can only tell you that the Qiang people are too small, too small to be able to give birth to peerless powerhouses. I am not even a master in the Central Plains." !” Ma Chao said with emotion.

The leaders of the Qiang tribe all looked in disbelief, and Ma Chao also saw the expressions of all the leaders, and looked at Dian Wei, "General Dian, please show them the strength of the generals in the Central Plains."

Dian Wei chuckled, revealing a pair of snow-white teeth, and then punched the ground. When the punch was swung down, even the air was clearly distorted, refracting various colors of luster, and after a soft sound, a Only the big hole in Weng's mouth appeared at Dian Wei's feet.

The leaders of the Qiang tribe were all confused and didn't understand at all. Only the First Elder, Second Elder, and Fourth Elder looked dignified, and after a long time they said silently, "Dare to ask the king, is this general the number one warrior in the Central Plains?" ?”

"Old Dian, I want to be number one, but we didn't make the list!" Dian Wei touched his own beard and said helplessly, what happened to the 36 Lu Bu was simply desperate.

"That's the truth, and I'm not on the list." Ma Chao nodded and said, "There is only one person in this world who deserves it."

"I think you also want to enter the Central Plains, own your own land, and live in peace. No one wants to live such a hard life." Ma Chao looked at the Qiang nobles and said, "There are too many strong people in the Han court. Now, if you are not considered my mother clan, I really don't want to care about it."
