Cangsong County, Wuwei County, a small county about 60 miles away from Guzang County, Wuwei County, is also a traditional gathering place for the Han people. There are large areas of arable land outside the county town. The county town has convenient transportation and developed commerce. More than a thousand merchants gathered in the city, forming a huge market. Small merchants as far as Jiuquan also have to come here to buy goods.

However, after nearly two months of evacuation, Cangsong County was basically an empty city. Most of the merchants returned to Longxi, and the permanent residents moved to Lingzhou. Many merchants also rushed to Lingzhou with goods to do business. The originally lively county town became deserted. The residents who stayed were either elderly people who refused to move away or nomadic Qiang people who were not within the migration scope.

To the south of the county town is an irresistible wheat field. In the middle of the farmland is the famous Cangnan River. There are large areas of houses distributed on both sides of the river. This is also the largest gathering place for Han people in the entire Wuwei County, with about thousands of families.

Most of the families have moved to Lingzhou, but there are still many Wuhuan farmers who are unwilling to leave their land. In May, the wheat ears have been grouted, and the large wheat waves are blue and yellow. In another month, the harvest season will be reached.

Although people all know that the danger is approaching, the Wuhuan people of the rest of the household are reluctant to leave the wheat that is about to be harvested, and there are more than 100,000 acres of wheat fields. The huge benefits tempt them to endure it day by day, waiting for the harvest season with luck.

That morning, several old farmers went to the wheat fields to prepare farm work as usual. Seeing that the wheat was about to mature, everyone was panicked and happy. For more than 100,000 acres of wheat, each family could get thousands of acres of wheat. This made them so excited.

Many families have already started to be busy in the wheat fields. Several old farmers are saying goodbye and are preparing to go to their respective wheat fields. At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from afar, and the earth began to vibrate slightly.

Everyone in the wheat field felt that they stood up and looked north together. Gradually, a dark cloud appeared in the northern land, faster and faster, flying towards this side.

"It's Qiang cavalry"

Suddenly someone shouted, and everyone woke up. They were so scared that they threw down their work and ran away. Several old farmers were also panicked and turned around and ran towards their homes.

These were a thousand Qiang outpost cavalry. The cavalry rushed into the wheat field without any pity, and rode their horses in the wheat field like lightning. The cavalry in the front caught up with the farmers running in the wheat field. The sword ruthlessly slashed the running farmers' necks. The head was chopped up and blood spilled into the wheat field.

The gathering place of Wuhuan people was already in chaos. The men, women, young and old in the Yuhu family had no time to pack up their things and ran away, supporting the elderly and young, and fleeing along the Cangnan River.

At this moment, countless Qiang cavalry rushed out of the wheat field, rushed towards the crowd like a strong wind, and rushed into the crowd, slashing with swords and spears, people cried and screamed, begging for mercy, but there was no effect. Qiang cavalry ruthlessly killed these unarmed farmers. In just a moment, several people were all over the field, and no one was alive.

The Qiang cavalry threw torches into the house, and the raging fire began to spread. Smoke was rolling on both sides of the Cangnan River, thousands of farmhouses were burned and burned to white land, and the water trucks on both sides of the river were also destroyed. More than a thousand Qiang cavalry burned the Cangnan River farming area and continued to urge the horses to run eastward and rush to the next farming area.

.........

Queen Tian, ​​tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry appeared in the vast wheat fields south of Cangsong County, Wuwei County. This is the area where the Qiang vanguards in Tianqian cleared the Han people's settlement.

At this time, a large area of ​​houses had been burned down, with ruins everywhere. The blood on the Cangnan River had not yet dried out, and the bones had been swallowed by wild wolves in the grassland, and hatred was settled here.

“Woo~”

The sound of low trumpets resounded throughout the sky, and teams of cavalry appeared at the end of the wheat fields, with fierce horses soaring into the air, and the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground, like thunder in the plains, shaking the earth.

The Qiang people from Xiutu tribe, Nangong tribe, and the Di people who were the Duye tribe, had a total of nearly 10,000 Qiang Di cavalry gathered here, just like a torrent of gathering.

"Brother Duye, let's make a bet," Xiu Tuya, the chief of the Xiu Tushiro, shouted loudly.

The Di chief was named Duyehun. They lived in the Duyeze area, named after the lake. Duyehun laughed, "Since Brother Xiu Tu is interested, I will bet with you, what are you bet?"

"Just bet on who will occupy Lingzhou first, the bet is 10,000 sheep."

"Add 10,000 young Han women, will you do it?"

"Okay, I'll bet with you."

At this moment, Nangong Jing, the new chief of the Nangong tribe, came on his horse. His hair was naturally fiery red and there was a shocking black scar on his face.

His appearance looks like the former chief Nangong. When it gets dark, it is easy to confuse him with the original Nangong, but his red hair is completely different from his father.

Xiu Tuya and Tonohun were obviously very afraid of him. When he arrived, they did not dare to mention bets anymore and listened to his instructions respectfully.

"The two chiefs don't have to be too polite."

Nangong Jing looked very arrogant, "Although I am now in charge of the tribes in the south, I still need to ask the two great chiefs to take care of him."

Nangong Jing's voice was very low and hoarse, but his tone was firm and without a trace of ambiguity.

All tribes in Hexi gathered in Zhangye half a month ago. Ma Chao divided all tribe troops into parts. The 20,000 Qiang cavalry of the seven tribes in Jiuquan in the north were commanded by Shatoufeng.

The six tribes of Zhangye, Wuwei tribes in the south, and the ten thousand cavalry of the Di tribes were all led by Nangong Jing, the chief of the Nangong tribe.

As for Ma Chao himself, he personally led 20,000 Qiang and Di elite soldiers and 5,000 Kushan cavalry as the core army.

Nangong Jing was eight feet tall and had great martial arts skills. He was known as the number one brave soldier of the Qiang people. When the Han army first swept Hexi, Nangong Jing was not in Hexi, but practiced martial arts in the Kushan Kingdom.

This time, Ma Chao sent an envoy to Kushan to buy weapons. Kushan King Dulin asked Nangong Jing to return to Hexi to participate in the war. He lost ten warriors in a row in Nangong's territory and even severely injured his brother Nangong Boyu. Nangong Boyu was forced to give up the position of chief, and Nangong Jing was elected as the new chief by the elders.

Nangong Jing was the chief of Nangong, and his mother was a female slave of the Kushan Kingdom. He had been brave and ruthless since he was a child. He also had a simple mind. Eight years ago, he caused a big disaster and set fire to thousands of large tents. He was driven out of the tribe by his father Nangong, so he went to the Kushan Kingdom, his mother's home country.

Although his appearance has not changed much, for some reason, Xiu Tuya and Du Yehun both found that Nangong Jing was a little different from the original Nangong Jing, and did not refer to his appearance. Although his red hair and the black scars on his face were still as dazzling as before.

It refers to his nature. The original Nangong Jing was brave and ruthless, but he was a simple-minded and a complete stupid man. However, Nangong Jing was very scheming and cruel.

The original Nangong Jing was a mediocre and unscrupulous person, but today Nangong Jing has a leader temperament that is the only one. His every move is full of domineering aura that makes people dare not resist.

Although he had a signature red hair and a black scar on his face, Xiu Tuya and Toyehun still suspected that they were actually fake Nangong Jing. However, the Nangong tribes all agreed that he was the former Nangong Jing, leaving others with nothing to say.

Xiu Tuya and Du Yehun sighed secretly. With this person in the Nangong tribe, I am afraid that the Qiang tribes will not have a better life in the future. According to Ma Chao's intention, he wanted to make this person the king of the Southern Qiang tribes.

At this time, a loud trumpet sound came from the distance, followed by a rumbling sound of war drums. When they turned around, they saw flags waving in the distance, and a large group of cavalry rushed towards him. This was Ma Chao's main army.

Ma Chao brought about 5,000 cavalry, all of which were elite troops selected by the Qiang and Di people. They were like a torrent of the flood and brought into the Wanhu Cavalry.

Ma Chao was wearing a black helmet and black armor, with a burly figure and a cold look. He held a bright silver spear that was 18 feet long. Although he was nearly forty years old, he still had excellent martial arts skills and had few opponents in the world.

Ma Chao proclaimed himself King of Xiliang, although he deliberately pleased Cao Cao and expressed his willingness to serve as Cao's foreign aid and jointly deal with the Han army.

But Cao Cao rejected him and issued an edict to rebuke him for betraying the traitors who sold the territory of the Han Dynasty, which made him extremely angry.

He originally promised Zhang Ji that the army would not leave Hexi, but now he has torn down his original promise. He will lead his army to kill Lingzhou, capture all the fugitive people, and distribute them to the Qiang people as slaves.

Although he had great prestige among the Qiang people, if there were no tangible interests to induce him, these Qiang people would not have sacrificed their lives.

This time, he appointed Nangong Jingnan as the general of the Northern Expedition and led tens of thousands of troops north to Lingzhou, but he had just received the news that Zhao Yun led 50,000 Han troops to fight towards Hexi, and he immediately led his army to Wuwei County.

At this time, Xiu Tufu, Du Yehun and Nangong Jing stepped forward at the same time, bowed and bowed and said, "See Your Highness, King Xiliang."

Ma Chao said to the human indifferently: "A great chief, the troops are all together."

Nangong Jing bowed his fists and replied, "Report to Your Highness, all the cavalrymen have gathered together."

Ma Chao nodded, "Fifty thousand Han troops have left Jincheng County and are rushing towards Hexi. I am worried that Wuwei will be in trouble, so I came here specially. Don't go to Lingzhou for the time being."

Nangong Jing also replied: "I heard that the barbarians were the vanguard of the Han army. I suggest concentrating their forces and annihilate these 10,000 cavalry first, and give the Han army a warning."

Ma Chao nodded slowly, "Okay, I am the supporter. You can fight bravely to kill the enemy and use Han people to worship Qilian Mountains."

Ma Chao turned around and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum to show its power"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong" The loud drum sounded like a muffled thunder. The Wanqiang Di army set out and rushed to the southeast.
