Chapter 233: Surrender? Still not investing? (page 12)

"I have met King Qiang. I wonder how your Majesty plans to govern the Qiang people?"

Jia Xu smiled and bowed to Ma Chao, but unlike before, this time Jia Xu was a foreign minister meeting the princes and kings.

"Why are you doing this, Military Advisor Jia? I am Lord Pojun Xing under the emperor's command. The Qiang people are also part of the Shennong lineage. The Qiang and Han peoples themselves have the same ancestors. The Qiang people should follow the emperor and fight in all directions!" Ma Chao said calmly.

Although Ma Chao has a pure heart, after all, he was born into a noble family and has been exposed to all kinds of etiquette. He clearly understands what kind of people can use it.

He understood what Jia Xu was doing. It was a subtle test to test the impact of Ma Chao's becoming King Qiang on the current situation and his judgment on Ma Chao's character.

An Lushan was also a loyal minister before the rebellion.

Jia Xu was very satisfied with Ma Chao's reaction. He did not answer Ma Chao's question directly, but just threw a token to Ma Chao.

"The Emperor has arranged for people to prepare supplies. Let's take this to various counties tomorrow to mobilize supplies. They will be sold at half price!"

Well, of course this is because he didn't know in advance that Ma Chao could become the Qiang King.

The purpose of mobilizing logistical supplies was naturally the Western Expedition and counterinsurgency.

However, since Ma Chao has now accomplished a remarkable feat and strangled the Qiang rebellion in the cradle, he naturally needs to be rewarded, and these half-price supplies are Jia Xu's apology to Ma Chao.

Hearing this, all the leaders of the Qiang tribe opened their eyes wide. The life of the Qiang people in the bitter cold of Xiliang was extremely difficult. In the past, many Qiang people had to die just for a bite to eat, a piece of pasture, and an oasis.

But now, when Ma Chao took office, he immediately gave them a surprise. Half-price supplies, even for just one winter day, were enough to keep hundreds of thousands of Qiang people alive who were supposed to die.

"Thank you, Emperor, for your gift!" Ma Chao saluted solemnly to the sky, and then looked at Jia Xu seriously.

"May I ask Military Advisor Jia, can we participate in the Western Expedition?"

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows. He was sure that Ma Chao was not a smart person, but Ma Chao's intuition was indeed very accurate and he immediately seized the biggest opportunity for the development of the Qiang people - the Western Expedition.

"Yes, but as long as there are elites, no more than 10,000 people, we will set off after the spring. You must take good care of it!" Jia Xu didn't say much and directly allocated Ma Chao's share of 10,000 people.

"Ling Ming, escort Master Jia back to the city!" Ma Chao respectfully left the tent and sent Jia Xu away. When Ma Chao returned to the tent again.

"Starting from tomorrow, we will immediately begin to select the most outstanding warriors among the hundreds of Qiang. The selected warrior tribes will receive additional material quotas!" Ma Chao sat on the throne and gave the order.

First, the 30,000 royal court guard cavalry are selected for training and secondary selection. This western expedition will be the Qiang people's biggest opportunity.

Although Ma Chao knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the Qiang cavalry in the past was basically based on nonsense. In places like the Central Plains, they could only fight infantry, and even elite infantry might not be able to deal with them.

It's not just talk about one Han being the five barbarians. Before this, they were really beaten with a battle loss of 1 to 5.

But that was in the past, and now the Qiang people are no longer just bastards under the Xiongnu. The Qiang people are serious people of the Xinghan Empire.

This involves a metaphysical idealistic concept. When the Qiang people become Han Qiang, they break away from the concept of miscellaneous people and become normal people, with the possibility of becoming elites.

When the Huaxia invades the Yi Di, the Yi Di will conquer them; when the Yi Di invade the Hua Xia, the Hua Xia will conquer them.

No one present had any objections. They understood that there was no such thing as pie in the sky. Just like in the past, supplies still had to be exchanged for blood, but it was much better than before.

"Perhaps you think that with me, the Qiang King, leading you, you will reach the top, but I can only tell you that the Qiang tribe is too small to give birth to a peerless strong man. I am not even a master in the Central Plains. !" Ma Chao said with emotion.

Not to mention Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, even Li Que and the others would probably be hard-pressed to defeat Ma Chao now. Even if he brought ten thousand of the most elite Qiang people with him, they would still be suppressed by the Xiliang cavalry.

"May I ask your Majesty, what kind of warrior can have a place in the Central Plains!" The second elder asked with some doubts. He could hear the deep disappointment in Ma Chao's words.

"Nowadays, I may not be able to make it into the top five in the Central Plains. Every one of the emperor's personal guards can compare with you!" Ma Chao sighed with emotion.

He has now touched the threshold of breaking the boundary. Although it is still unstable, he has touched it. It can be regarded as overtaking in a corner. Otherwise, let alone the top five or ten, he is not considered a master.

The leaders of the Qiang tribe all had expressions of disbelief on their faces. The second elder's inner energy was separated from the body, and five thousand inner energy was separated from the body... They could not imagine how terrifying such a legion was.

Ma Chao also saw the expressions of all the leaders and shook his head. Although he knew that the state of five thousand inner Qi leaving the body could not last forever, it would be achieved one day in the future, and that was a foreseeable future.

A sparrow does not know the ambition of a swan. After all, the Qiang people's vision is too small.

But there was nothing they could do. The Qiang people struggled to live above the food and clothing line every day, and the Xiongnu suppressed them from behind. They had to do their best to survive, let alone develop and grow.

"King, can we really join the Han Dynasty?" The Sixth Elder asked bitterly, which was due to his weakness and uneasiness, and also due to the blood feud in the past.

Do you really think the Qiang people never thought of joining the Han Dynasty? Are you kidding me? As the most powerful and richest country in this era, it would be strange if the Qiang people, a race that does not have serious national concepts and has the same origin, have not thought about it!

However, the Yellow Turban Rebellion started even in the Han Dynasty itself, let alone those who joined later.

The extremely high taxes and fees made the Qiang people miserable, and they could only revolt. They were later subdued by the Han Dynasty and appeased again. After those officials left, new officials began to exploit them again, and the Qiang people continued to resist, and the cycle started over and over again...

This is also the reason why the Qiang people long for a Qiang king. They are too confused.

To be honest, if it weren't for Ma Chao, they would never have joined the Han Dynasty.

After the Han Dynasty was pacified, the more severe the suppression, the more difficult the Qiang people's life became. The more difficult the Qiang people's life was, the more they wanted to rebel. This was an endless cycle, and the Han Dynasty became more and more afraid of the Qiang people. The Qiang people increasingly distrust the Han Dynasty. After defeat, they face endless exploitation. This is a deadlock!

Coupled with the fact that the Huns were sowing discord in the middle, the number of soldiers killed on both sides was enough to dye the entire Xiliang red.

"We are not taking refuge with the big men of the Liu family, but with the emperor's star men!" Ma Chao looked at everyone solemnly.

Everyone was confused. They didn't understand the difference between this star man and a big man, but they didn't say anything. They chose to believe in Ma Chao, the Han-Qiang hybrid who ascended the throne of Qiang King.

"Thirty-six Kingdoms in the Western Regions!" Ma Chao looked to the west, which would be the food for the Qiang people to grow.

In this way, shortly after Ma Chao was promoted to King Qiang, he went to Chang'an to meet Mu Yi in the name of King Qiang.

Mu Yi also attaches great importance to Ma Chao's arrival. It can be said that Ma Chao is the epitome of the future feudal system. Today's Ma Chao is also the future Cao Cao, Han Xin and others.

They will all become the leader, and how to determine the distinction between master and slave is a political issue that requires continued attention in the future.
