Chapter 159

The Han army carried out round after round of purges on the barbarians on the Xixuya grassland. Finally, under the leadership of Ma Su, the general of the Han Dynasty's expedition to the West, he took three years to expel the barbarians on the Xixuya grassland to the Europa continent. From then on, Xixuya's land was ruled by the Chinese Empire.

In the past ten years, tribal disputes on the entire Xixuya grassland became more and more intense. Until one day more than twenty years later, the barbarians on the Xixuya grassland had a civil war. At this time, Ma Su led the army of the Han Empire to raid the most powerful barbarian tribe "Urgan" on the Xixuya grassland.

After several months of fierce fighting, Ma Su and others finally defeated the "Urgan" tribe and captured the leader of the "Urgan" tribe "Urgan".

Ma Su knew that as long as he captured the "Urgan" tribe, the rest of the "Urgan" tribe would be scared by himself. At that time, the entire "Urgan" tribe would inevitably bow to the Han Empire, and at least he would not dare to resist the rule of the Han Empire. In this way, the Han Empire could control the grasslands in the northwest border for a long time, and could also use the rich resources on the grasslands to quickly enhance the strength of the Han Empire.

But what Ma Su never expected was that just when "Ulah" was taken back by Ma Su to be interrogated, "Ulah" was actually committing suicide! Although Ma Su stopped "Ulah" in time, he still had no way to stop "Ulah's death, so Ma Su had to send someone to bury "Ulah" with a grand funeral. At this moment, the brothers of "Ulah" took this opportunity to rebel. In order to protect the interests of the Han Empire, Ma Su had to go into battle with the rebellious tribe leader "Urgan".

The two sides fought for nearly half a month, and neither side gained any advantage. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Su immediately ordered the cavalry to break through. After breaking through the defense line of the rebel tribe, Ma Su ordered the army to retreat to the city and at the same time stepped up the construction of fortifications.

Ma Su knew that if he did not take emergency measures as soon as possible, he might be really dangerous this time. Ma Su ordered the craftsmen to make some simple siege equipment, and then organized a large number of soldiers to launch a fierce offensive against the enemy's city.

Under Ma Su's desperate attack, the tribe where "Ulah" was located suffered heavy losses, but "Ulah" was still stubborn and refused to surrender. Seeing that the Han Empire's offensive became more and more fierce, Ma Su was worried that he could not stand it, so he had to suspend the offensive against the "Ulah" city and instead continued to attack other parts of the "Ulah" tribe.

Ma Su believes that since the "Ulah" tribe can no longer persuade the surrender, the only remaining option now is to minimize casualties and avoid head-on confrontation with the enemy in the short term. After all, the situation in the northwest border has just stabilized and needs rest and recuperation.

However, Ma Su obviously underestimated the enemy's determination and madness. After suffering major losses, the "Ulah" tribe not only did not give up resistance, but on the contrary, they became extremely cruel and bloodthirsty. They actually gathered all the tribe's armed forces and took the initiative to launch an offensive against the Han army.

Because the offensive of the "Ulah" tribe was too fierce, the Han army had to fight with all their might. At this time, when Ma Su's order was transmitted to the large army camps stationed in various parts of the northwest border, it was already a little late. All the large army camps stationed in the northwest border were in a difficult battle, especially the large army camps closer to the "Ulah" city, were under tremendous pressure.

After receiving the news, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Empire, was furious. He immediately summoned civil and military officials to discuss how to resolve the crisis in the northwest border.

"Your Majesty, I ask the emperor to personally fight for the expedition." A general wearing a silver armor stood up and volunteered.

Liu Bang waved his hand: "No, I can't leave the capital."

The general said, "Your Majesty, the northwest border is now in trouble. If you don't command the troops personally, you're afraid that the northwest border will be difficult to maintain."

Hearing the words of this general, Liu Bang's face was gloomy. He knew that if he left, the northwestern border would definitely encounter greater disaster. However, Liu Bang's psychological quality was indeed superb. He took a deep breath and said, "I'll think about it for a while."

"Your Majesty, there is a life-and-death battle in the northwest border. How can you think about it again? If you leave, the people in the northwest border will be in danger." Another civil servant stood up and said.

Liu Bang sighed and said, "I also hope that the people in the northwest border will be safe, but I...ah! Forget it, forgot, I'd better think about it first and see if there is any other way to help the people in the northwest border overcome this difficulty."

Liu Bang finally compromised, and he also knew that the situation in the northwest border was extremely serious. If he did not take action, he was afraid that the people in the northwest border would really have a catastrophe.

Liu Bang finally agreed to the plan to dispatch a large army south to support the northwestern border.

When the Han Empire's army began to move south, the people on the northwest border finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Ma Su's brows were still frowning tightly because he knew that this time the situation in the northwest border was just a temporary delay in the disaster in the northwest border.

As the Han Empire was dispatching troops south, in a small town near Xining Prefecture, Ma Su was discussing with his staff what to do next.

"Master General, there has been a rebellion in the northwest border. This time we are sending troops south is probably in vain. I think we will withdraw our troops temporarily and wait for the imperial court's will." The aide suggested.

Ma Su shook his head: "No, my Han Empire is at the feet of the emperor. How can we allow those Hu chiefs and dogs to bully us? This time I must purge the rebels in the northwest border, so that these people know that under my Han's iron hooves, there are all dead souls."

After hearing this, the staff sighed slightly and said, "Master, I will understand your difficulties, but the situation in the northwest border has become very complicated now. If you are not careful, I am afraid that our plan this time will be disappointed."

Ma Su smiled and patted the staff's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I know the importance."

At this time, a burly general walked out and said, "Master, our Han Empire is so powerful that it is a small country that is vulnerable at all, so why should we be afraid!"

Ma Su nodded and said, "Well, Meng Hu is right. No matter who they are, as long as they dare to offend the majesty of my Han Empire, they will definitely pay the price!"

At this time, Ma Su's eyes suddenly looked at a woman sitting in a corner. The woman seemed not old, about twenty years old, wearing an ordinary cloth dress, and she looked dull, as if she was scared to death.

"What's your name?" Ma Su asked.

The girl raised her head and replied dumbly: "My name is Zhang Chunhua."

Ma Su asked again: "Where are you from?"

"I am from Yongzhou, Shandong."

Ma Su said oh, then asked, "Why are you here?"

"My mother is seriously ill, I sneaked out."

Ma Su said: "Where are your parents now?"

Zhang Chunhua said: "My parents are dead, and I don't know where they are."

"Then do you have any relatives in your hometown?"

Zhang Chunhua thought for a while and said, "No, I only remember that my father's surname is Zhang and my mother's name is Zhang."

After listening to Zhang Chunhua's narrative, Ma Su felt a little strange in his heart, but after careful observation of Zhang Chunhua's expression, he found that the girl was indeed stupid and seemed to suffer from aphasia, so he waved his hand and let the girl leave.

After Zhang Chunhua left, Ma Su asked his aide and said, "What do you think of this girl?"

"Master, although Zhang Chunhua looks dazed, according to the information he has consulted, this girl should not be dementia. Her subordinates think that this woman may have some disease, which makes her look like this."

After hearing this, Ma Su's eyes lit up and said to the staff member: "So, is this girl still a doctor with excellent medical skills?"

"It should be that after searching for her, she has cured many difficult and complicated diseases in the past few months."

Ma Su nodded after hearing this and said, "Since that's the case, let's keep her."

The aide hesitated: "Master, the girl's situation is a bit strange. She has never been to the hospital for treatment of anyone, and she has never even entered the pharmacy. This is probably inappropriate."

Ma Su said: "I have noticed her situation, but I think this woman should not be a bad person. I believe in my judgment."

"Let me do this, I'll send someone to stare at this girl to prevent her from doing anything." said the aide.

Ma Su nodded and walked out with the staff member. As soon as he walked out of the door, Ma Su saw a donkey cart coming over, full of food.

"What's going on?" Ma Su asked with a frown.

The sergeant responsible for escorting the food and grass hurriedly replied: "Master, this is the grain transported from Xining County, and it was donated by our people in the northwest."

When Ma Su heard this, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and then sighed and said, "The kindness of the people of Xining County is worth remembering."

Although Ma Su said this, he knew very well that their food had already been eaten up, and the food was exchanged for by the people of Xining County.

"Master, we cannot collect these grains, otherwise the people of Xining County will be disappointed. We should withdraw our troops and return to Liangzhou as soon as possible." The aide dissuaded.

Ma Su snorted coldly and said, "Retreat troops? If I withdraw now, what should the people in the northwest border do? Should I, the emperor of the Han Empire, only care about escaping and ignoring their lives? I can't do it."

"But..." The aide was obviously still worried.

"Okay, no need to do it anymore. I ordered the entire army to prepare to detach the camp and rushed to Xining County immediately to fight the barbarians!"

After Ma Su finished speaking, he led a large group of people to Xining County, and the girl named Zhang Chunhua was also taken away by Ma Su and followed the army to Xining County.

On the way, Ma Su and Zhang Chunhua were chatting about some gossip. Ma Su liked Zhang Chunhua very much. After all, Zhang Chunhua is beautiful and gentle and considerate, and is a standard beauty of a virtuous beauty.

Although Ma Su is older, he is not picky about his wives and concubines. So after Zhang Chunhua married Ma Su, Ma Su loved her very much, and Zhang Chunhua was also loyal to Ma Su and was dedicated to her.

Not long after, the group arrived at Xining County. At this time, Ma Su said to Zhang Chunhua: "You have a night off first, and I will take you to find your parents tomorrow morning."

Zhang Chunhua said: "Thank you for your grace

Ma Su nodded and said, "You guys don't have to be too polite."

When the civil and military officials heard Ma Su say this, they all stood up.

After Ma Su sat down, he said to everyone: "I suddenly led my army here today. There is something to be announced, that is, I decided that from today, I will lead my troops to attack Xining Prefecture."

Ma Su nodded and said, "You guys don't have to be too polite."

"Your Majesty, Xining Prefecture is one of the three prefectures in the northwest, and it is remote and easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we attack strongly, the loss will be too great, and it will also hurt our people in the northwest.

"Your Majesty, Xining Prefecture is one of the three prefectures in the northwest, and it is remote and easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we attack strongly, the loss will be too great, and it will also hurt our people in the northwest.

"Your Majesty, Xining Prefecture is one of the three prefectures in the northwest, and it is remote and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we attack strongly, the loss will be too great and it will hurt our people in the northwest."

Ma Su waved her hand and asked her to rest, and then took her staff to the county government office.

The county government is about five or six miles away from here, and it takes half an hour to walk over. After Ma Su walked into the county government, he saw that the county government officials were all there. When Ma Su came in, they saluted him one after another.

Ma Su nodded and said, "You guys don't have to be too polite."

When the civil and military officials heard Ma Su say this, they all stood up.

After Ma Su sat down, he said to everyone: "I suddenly led my army here today. There is something to be announced, that is, I decided that from today, I will lead my troops to attack Xining Prefecture."

"Your Majesty, Xining Prefecture is one of the three northwest prefectures, and it is remote and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we attack strongly, the loss will be too great, and it will also hurt our people in the northwest easily defend but difficult to attack. If we attack strongly, the loss will be too great, and it will also hurt our people in the northwest. This is really not worth the loss." An old minister stood up and retorted.

Ma Su said: "
