Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

When the people under the city heard the leader's order, they immediately waved their torches towards the city head.

In just a quarter of an hour, a ray of fire also appeared on the top of the city, and it also swayed towards the bottom of the city.

The people below the city put out the torches without hesitation and responded to the city.

The code was correct, and the torches at the top of the city quickly disappeared. But soon, the door that had been tightly closed slowly opened.

"The Han people are really careful. They have to make even a secret code so complicated."

The leading deputy muttered dissatisfiedly, disapproving of Nei Ying's slow speed in opening the door. But he was immediately patted by the leader, and the big man in the leader said coldly.

"It's because we are too careless and underestimate others that we have fallen to this point. Read some books. There is a reason why the Han people can become so strong."

"This... follows your order." The deputy felt helpless, feeling that the leader was too scared. They couldn't beat the Han people just because they were a little weaker than the Han people in terms of weapons and equipment...

What's more, those books are not good to read. He can't understand them every time, and then he falls asleep after reading a few sticks of incense.

"Forget it, forget about it, we are going to kill now anyway!"

With that said, all the soldiers and horses showed their weapons, and everyone rushed towards the city with murderous intent.

"Warriors of the tribe, charge with me!" After rushing past the city, the leader immediately roared, followed by an overwhelming cry of killing.

Yes, they are Qiang soldiers! It's the Qiang soldiers attracted by the aristocratic family!

They are not the same Qiang people who robbed Ma Su Road, but the Xianling Qiang people located in the west of Longxi. They are different from the pro-Han Eastern Qiang. They have been at odds with the Han people for generations, and they compete with the Longxi army every year.

During the Cao and Wei Dynasties, they were the main force of the Qiang soldiers who rebelled in Longxi, and they could fight with the local county soldiers for a long time every time.

But this time, the Qiang tribe received a very strange request. It was a letter from an aristocratic family in Didao County. The letter said that as long as they were willing to attack Didao County, the aristocratic family was willing to open the city gates to them.

At that time, only some people from their aristocratic family will have to leave, and it will be up to their tribe to decide what to do with the men, women, and children in the county.

Of course, the most important request of the family is that Ma Su, the governor of Longxi County, must be killed! As long as he dies, the Longxi family can secretly give them a large amount of money, food and information.

The Wu family has already conducted an investigation, and theoretically Dong Qiang is the most suitable for cooperation. They are the closest to Longxi and close to the Han people. Even if they are hired to kill the county guard, there will not be much trouble.

But Wu Yong discovered that Dong Qiang and Ma Su had already been in contact. Although the contact seemed not very pleasant, they still did not fight. Wu Yong didn't dare to bet on whether Ma Su might have some py deal with Dong Qiang, so he had to choose the Xianling Qiang people who had the deepest hatred against the Han people.

The Xianling Qiang finally agreed to their request and arrived outside Didao County on time. The people from the aristocratic family kept their word this time and opened the city gate directly for them.

When the Qiang soldiers rushed into the city, they only saw the corpses of dozens of Shu soldiers on the top of the city. The members of the aristocratic family had long since disappeared.

"Burn them! Burn the houses when you see them! Kill the people when you see them!" the Qiang leader yelled, and thousands of Qiang soldiers rushed into the city and ran out screaming.

Didao County was suddenly in chaos. The people living near the city gate suffered first, and then spread quickly.

At this time, Ma Su, who had just been forced back to the house by his subordinates, saw a fire outside the house before he could lie down.

"What's going on?" Ma Su was shocked and quickly pushed the door open so fast that the soldiers guarding him didn't have time to stop him.

When he rushed out, Ma Di saw a large fire suddenly coming from the direction of the city. The noisy and fierce fighting and wailing sounds could be heard faintly, making Ma Di's face suddenly look ugly.

"Those aristocratic families still took action!" Ma Di's back teeth were almost broken, and the murderous intent in his eyes almost condensed into substance.

Although he had considered that the noble family might overturn the table at all costs, he never expected that they would actually dare to do so.

Ma Su couldn't even make such a crazy move. How dare those aristocratic families that always use negotiation to solve problems dare to do this?

Do they really want to wipe out the three tribes?

"These lunatics! I should have killed them at all costs!" Ma Su was furious and rushed outside immediately. He had to find a way to remedy the situation as soon as possible.

When Ma Su rushed out of the county government office, he saw that Yao Hu had finished training the soldiers and horses.

In Didao County, apart from the soldiers garrisoned at the city gate, there were only more than 500 new soldiers. With just these few people and equipment, it would be difficult to even protect Ma Su from escaping, let alone save the city.

"Prefect!" Yao Hu was also anxious at this time. When he saw the fire at the top of the city, he realized something was wrong.

Soon a spy came back and told him that a large number of Qiang people suddenly entered the city for unknown reasons and were burning, killing, looting and setting fire to the city.

Yao Hu was horrified and immediately gathered all the soldiers and horses stationed in the county.

"Yao Hu! What happened? Who set fire to the city?" Ma Di looked at Yao Hu and asked through gritted teeth.

"They are the Qiang people! A group of uncivilized barbarians..." Yao Hu smiled bitterly and answered with his hands raised.

"It's probably that group of aristocratic families who opened the city gate and let the Qiang people into the city. Now the Qiang people are burning, killing and looting. Judging from their posture, they should be coming towards you."

"How many people have they entered the city? How far have they wreaked havoc?" Ma Su asked fiercely, his eyes red with anger.

"I don't know. Judging from the situation, there should be thousands of people. With our small number of people, I'm afraid we can't stand it at all!" Yao Hu shook his head and said almost in despair.

"They came well prepared. Thousands of people rushed into the city at once. The governor, please take the county magistrate and others away. I, Yao Hu, will die in battle today to delay the governor's time!"

Who would have thought that the most critical moment that Ma Su envisioned two days ago would come true in just a few days?

Affected by the timid behavior of the Eastern Qiang people, Ma Di has always ignored the influence of the Qiang people. He had no idea that in Longxi County, where there were only tens of thousands of Han people, the number of Qiang people was almost the same as that of Han people!

Dong Qiang wants to make progress, so they and the Han court dare not take action, but that doesn't mean other Qiang people will buy your fault!

"Yao Hu! What was my order a few days ago?" Ma Su said calmly as he turned on his horse, supported his sick body and mounted the horse.

"It's you who should leave. According to the route and plan I laid out a few days ago, immediately protect Li Juncheng and retreat!"

"Leave this place to me. I, Ma Su, will never let the Qiang people do whatever they want!" Ma Su said coldly.

"Prefect, you are injured and you can't fight at all! The big man still needs you, your life is more valuable than me, Yao Hu!" Yao Hu was so anxious that he almost cried, and quickly persuaded Ma Su.

But Ma Su turned his head and glanced at him, with a hint of unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

"The Prime Minister said something that I have never been able to understand, but now I understand how the Prime Minister felt."

"What words?"

"The death of a husband is a crime!"
