"Let me think about it again..." Ma Cuo's eyes twitched violently, sweat flowed like a waterfall, and his clothes were soaked in an instant, but he seemed to have no idea: "The so-called caravan is a bait, but once the Douluji army was destroyed, every tribe knew that the so-called caravan was fake, and the leaders of each tribe felt fooled because of this. They had already sent troops, and now they continued to go south, but changed their target from plundering the caravan to defeat this unknown team and avenge Douluji."
Although this man is far inferior to his father, he is still quite wise after all. He slowly thought about it along the way of thinking in the horse suit, and became more and more frightened: "In other words, the caravan is indeed a bait, and there is no caravan, it is still a bait. As long as the tribes scattered in various parts of Dai County and the bandits and gangs are dispatched, the planners will be considered to have achieved their goal."
"Father, brother, you are too fine and meticulous all day long, have you taken yourself into it? There must be a reason for everything. Why do those enemies do this? Isn't it a search for death to all the powerful tribes of Dai County?" Ma Kong listened to the words of the two, and sneered disdainfully.
The horse suit slapped the bed suddenly and shouted loudly: "Shut up!"
Ma Cuo ignored his impatient brother at all. He stood up and circled around the hall, his expression becoming more and more nervous: "Why do you need this? Why do you need this?"
"Hahaha..." The horse suit smiled deep, and the air flowed between his throat, making a hissing and sharp sound, like a poisonous snake circling and spitting letters: "Because they are in a hurry."
As a Jin native, he was able to gain a foothold in the northern border of jackals, tigers and leopards, until he occupied the treasure land of Luochuan, and stood firm for decades... Horse costumes are not easy to deal with. Although his body has grown old, his experience and keen judgments have not been affected at all. In this environment surrounded by mountains and information-blocking, most of the bandits were still confused and wondering what the situation was, the old man had found the most critical place!
"Time is urgent?" Ma Cuo subconsciously repeated the sentence, then was frightened by the content contained in this sentence and staggered to the ground. What happened recently that it was urgent? This question does not need to be considered at all. In the past few months, the northern border has been calm, and almost everyone is waiting for the final result of that big event!
"Father, you mean that these enemies are going to snatch before the Tuoba Xianbei sacrifice ceremony..." He said word by word: "Take action against Dai County?"
Among the important bandit leaders of Luochuan thieves, Ma Cuo can be called an alien. He always believed that the Ma family was a large clan of Dai County, at least a high-ranking local sect, and did not regard himself as a thief. Therefore, he always emphasized manners and enjoyed the demeanor of famous scholars. Although he had been criticized by many assimilation, he was still happy. However, too many thoughts hit his mind at this moment, making him lose his soul. He did not care about his demeanor, and he rolled and crawled back to the hall, grabbed the arm of the horse's uniform, and asked repeatedly: "Where are they so brave? What exactly do they want to do? Who are they...?"
"How could I know!" Ma Fu couldn't help but feel a little angry: "You haven't sent anyone to inquire with your heart!"
This is a big deal. The incident happened in a hurry, and the destruction of the Douluji tribe and the Bomei tribe was yesterday. The enemy army distributed scouts everywhere. No matter how hard the spies tried, they would not achieve anything.
Ma frowned and said, "Is it because the woman Weishi was crazy and wanted to regroup?"
The Wei clan he mentioned was the wife of Tuoba Yiyi, the great grand shanyu of Tuoba Xianbei. Now he actually held the authority of the central part of Tuoba Xianbei. Since Yiyi's death, the power in the central part has declined, and now there are only more than a thousand tribes remaining, living in a corner of the western part of Dai County. When the caravan rumors first appeared, they were fighting the banner of trading with the central part of Tuoba Xianbei. It is not impossible to say that there is a connection between the two.
The Tuoba Xianbei, which controls 400,000 strings, is a terrifying behemoth for these scattered tribes of Daijun, which are separated from the powerful tribes in the northern border. Both Luguan and Yilu are enough to instantly overturn small groups like Luochuan thieves. The bandits had previously regarded the weak Tuoba Xianbei as if nothing had happened, but at this moment they suddenly thought: If the Wei clan really took action, Daijun would definitely become an important battlefield for the position of the Tuoba Xianbei Great Shanyu. If the Tuoba Xianbei army broke into Daijun, they would step into the ant nest when the giant beasts fought, and step on the ants to death, and it would be nothing to do. There is no doubt that it would be a disaster for all the tribes of Daijun.
"This is not possible..." Ma Cuo shook his thin arm in the horse suit and said in a panic: "Father, we have to come up with a solution!"
In horror, his hand was indecent. The left arm of the horse suit was so painful that it felt like it was almost broken. He couldn't struggle, so he took a plate of Yun Ruyi from the couch and slammed it on Ma Cuo's face: "Damn it! Why are you panic?"
Ruyi is a copper-tied wooden tool, both hard and heavy. The horse suit is rough and ruthless. When he beats hard, he immediately makes Ma Cuo dizzy and fall to the ground. His nose bridge almost collapses halfway, and blood flows wildly, and the front is red. After all, these people are fierce and domineering bandits, and they are very few of them. However, the father and son act like enemies, and they do not follow the method of filial piety, brotherhood and friendship, which is really hard to accept.
Looking at Ma Cuo's miserable situation, Ma Kong showed a gloating expression and sneered repeatedly: "Brother, I heard that when you were in contact with the central Tuoba Xianbei a few days ago, you used to tease the beauty of the Wei family, and they were very bold and heroic. Why, you were afraid of that woman at this time?"
Ma Cuo looked at the horse suit with blood red eyes. After all, he had been powerful for many years and dared not fight. Hearing Ma Kong's sarcasm, he turned to scold him, but he couldn't help but choke the blood into the trachea and couldn't help coughing violently.
The two were waiting for internal conflict, and Ma Fu held Ruyi tightly and turned over and sat up: "It would not be the central Tuoba Xianbei. With their strength, it is impossible for them to intervene in the battle for the throne of the Great Shanyu. Although Na Wei is a woman, he has quite a scheming and will not do such a scheming move."
Ma Zhuo rubbed his nose with his collar and said in a muffled voice: "Who would that be? Yuwen Xianbei? Jie? Wuhuan?" He became more and more anxious: "I don't know where they came from, and I always feel uneasy."
After further investigation, Ma Ge interrupted his words impatiently: "Whatever they come from, let's take a look at the moment. The enemy is about to cross the Qiyi River! How about it, let me rush to kill for a while and suffocate their aura!"
"No!" Ma Chou shouted.
"Idiot!" Ma Fu also cursed angrily.
After all, he was old, and this shout almost made him scramble. He inhaled repeatedly, his hands were swaying, and his lungs made strange sounds like a leaky bellows. The three sons hurriedly stepped forward and patted their chests and backs. After a while, the horse suit slowly said: "Look, you three, although Dai County is small, the people are brave, and you can gather tens of thousands of strong soldiers. What's more, this place is between the Xianbei tribes of various northern borders. Anyone who wants to make any moves has to ask whether the Xianbei people agree or not. No matter who it is, it is not easy to beat all the heroes of Dai County in one go. Even if it is a fierce wolf, it may collapse a few teeth..."
"If I guess correctly, the enemy pretends to attack the Daiwang City. The real purpose is to attract various troops to pursue them and thus defeat the living forces of the tribes in the field. Therefore, they will never rush to attack our fort. Tujili, Yang Feixiang, are just brave men. If their troops come, they are entering the enemy's wrestling. Hehe, we just sit and watch them fight and explore the details of this enemy army. If the field is defeated, please Tujili, Yang Feixiang and the others die first, and we will escape in the chaos. If the field is defeated, we will fight out in one fell swoop and have a big share!"
The horse suit's voice was low, and in just a few words, he sold allies who came to rescue. His eyes glanced at his three sons like a hawk and falcon, and said hideously: "You guys, gather all the brothers together quickly. I want to see everyone in the fort ready to join the battle. But... you all remembered it firmly for me: you must not attack easily, let them kill the blood flowing into a river first!"

The update is irregular, and I feel embarrassed to ask for votes and support, so I won’t say much. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, I will make preparations in the past two days, and I will try to get a supplementary update tomorrow and the next day.
