Chapter 54 Ma Haiyan's anger
On April 6, when the dawn sun shone on this plateau city, Xining City woke up from its deep sleep. Slowly, the city gates opened and there were crowds on the streets. Many people were preparing to leave the city. Many residents of Xining City had land or other livelihoods outside the city. When spring came, it was their busy time.
"Go! Get out of the way, get out of the way! Report urgently! Emergency military information!" Suddenly, a team of cavalry rushed towards Xining City. The soldiers guarding the city gate thought that an enemy was coming and were about to intercept them, and when they heard them yelling about emergency military information. Suddenly, they did not dare to intercept them, but drove away the crowds crowded at the city gate. The Qingma Army's military orders, delaying military information, would have to beheaded, and no one could bear such a responsibility.
The cavalrymen were the Qingma soldiers who rushed back from Yushu to report the news. They were seven people, each with two war horses. After running for a day and two nights, they finally arrived in Xining City this morning.
With the assistance of the guards, they entered Xining City without any obstacles. The pattern of Xining City is relatively small and the streets are not wide. At this time, there were many people on the street. This team of cavalrymen galloped on horseback on the street, which immediately caused chaos. However, they conveyed military information. Those who were hit or the bunk did not dare to have any complaints or dared not stop the transmission of military information.
When the cavalry arrived at the Admiral's Mansion in Xining, the streets were already in chaos. There were damaged bunks and injured pedestrians everywhere. However, they could only admit that they were unlucky.
"Report, emergency military information!" When they arrived outside the gate of the Admiral's Mansion, the cavalry immediately dismounted.
"Come with me and report to the Admiral immediately!" The guards did not dare to neglect and immediately led the soldier who reported the news into the Admiral's Mansion.
At this time, Ma Haiyan was having breakfast. Because he was old and got angry, the corners of his mouth were blisters. On the dining table, he and his son Ma Lin were the only ones. His wife had already died, and although there were many other concubines, they were not qualified to go to the dining table.
"My father, is there really no way to rescue my brother?" Ma Lin was drinking millet porridge while biting the steamed bun. Ma Haiyan sent people to Hezhou back, but the result was not satisfactory. Ma Anliang, the Ma family army of Hezhou, felt that it was not worth fighting with the Western Sichuan Army for Ma Qi, so he refused Ma Haiyan's request, which made Ma Haiyan very dissatisfied. With the strength of the Qing Ma army alone, he would definitely not be able to challenge the Western Sichuan Army. Without the help of the Ma family army and Ning Ma army in Hezhou, he could only watch the Western Sichuan Army detain Ma Qi. Because of this, Ma Haiyan has been in a very bad mood these two days and has been angry.
"This requires long-term planning. However, Ma Qi should not be in danger of life. The people of the Western Sichuan Army will not be in danger of his life!" Ma Haiyan said with some depression. Seeing that his son was detained by others and being a father had no choice, it made him feel very uncomfortable. If he knew that Ma Qi had betrayed him and became the brigade commander of the Western Sichuan Army, he would probably be even more angry and vomited blood!
"Hmph! The Western Sichuan Army is really too bullying. One day, I will wipe them out all of them!" Ma Lin said hatefully. In fact, he was happy. Although his relationship with Ma Qi was pretty good, he was a natural enemy in seizing the inheritance rights of the Qing Ma Army. Ma Lin felt that he wished that Ma Qi would be imprisoned by the Western Sichuan Army for the rest of his life, and it would be better that he would never be able to return to Qinghai.
"It's good that you have this heart, but don't be too impatient. Your elder brother is the lesson of your past!" Ma Haiyan sighed. Now that the only son of Ma Lin is left, he will teach him well. After Ma Qi's accident, he recalled Ma Lin back, on the one hand to ensure Ma Lin's safety and on the other hand to teach him.
"Yes, father, I will take it as a warning!" Ma Lin said humbly.
"Admiral, Yushu has an emergency military report!" Suddenly, a guard broke in and reported loudly.
“Emergency military information?”
"Yushu?"
Ma Haiyan and Ma Lin and his son were both shocked and stood up from their seats involuntarily.
"Where are people?" Ma Haiyan asked.
The guards immediately led the Yushu cavalry who came to report the news.
"Report to the Admiral, the villain is a soldier of the Sixth Battalion. The Western Sichuan Army attacked Yushu in a large scale. The Qingma Army, who was deploying the Nangqian, had already rebelled. General Gu Hongtao was not aware of it for a while and was led by Bai Meng, the battalion commander of the 12th Battalion, and the southern gate of Yushu was seized by Bai Meng, the battalion commander of the 12th Battalion. The Gu Battalion commander sent the villain to report to the Admiral that when the villain left Yushu, the two sides were really fighting fiercely!" The cavalry who reported the news knelt on the ground, his voice hoarsely reporting.
"What? Nang Qian's defenders rebelled?" Ma Haiyan couldn't help but shake his body when he heard the news. If Ma Lin hadn't been moved and supported him, he would have fallen to the ground.
"You go down first! The person coming, immediately notify Mr. Zhou and Battalion Commander Gu Hongyun to see me, hurry up!" Ma Haiyan roared angrily.
"Yes!" The guards immediately took away the cavalry who came to report the news, and sent someone to invite Zhou He and Gu Hongyun.
"Ma Lin, immediately send someone to capture the families of Nang Qian's three battalion commanders. They dared to betray me, and I can't spare them!" Ma Haiyan vented his anger like an angry lion. What made him even more angry than the attack of the Western Sichuan Army was that Nang Qian's defenders actually betrayed him, which made him very angry.
"Yes, father!" Ma Lin immediately went out to pass an order. He knew very well that the families of these generals who dared to betray the Qingma Army would definitely not have a good end. The Qingma Army has always severely punished the traitors.
Soon, Zhou He and Gu Hongyun rushed to the Admiral's Mansion. Both of them had just gotten up and rushed over before they even had time to eat breakfast. Ma Haiyan summoned them so anxiously, something big must have happened.
In Ma Haiyan's study, Zhou He and Gu Hongyun met Ma Haiyan. At this moment, Ma Haiyan's face was full of flush caused by anger, which made Zhou He and Gu Hongyun a little nervous. I wonder why Ma Haiyan was getting angry.
"Sir, what happened?" Zhou He asked.
"The Western Sichuan Army is attacking. Nang Qian's defenders have betrayed and are leading the Western Sichuan Army to attack Yushu!" Ma Haiyan said gritting his teeth.
"What? Why is this happening?" Zhou He and Gu Hongyun both screamed. Whether it was the large-scale attack of the Western Sichuan Army or the betrayal of Nang Qian's defenders, this was not a trivial matter! No wonder it made Ma Haiyan so angry.
"Admiral, should we send troops to rescue Yushu immediately?" Gu Hongyun said. After all, Yushu's defender Gu Hongtao is his younger brother.
"No hurry! With the strength of the Western Sichuan Army, Yushu may have fallen. We will send troops now, but we will not have any effect, but will be attacked by the Western Sichuan Army!" Zhou He said.
Gu Hongyun was a little dissatisfied, but he knew that what Zhou He was talking about was the truth. It would take two days to go from Yushu to Xining. It is very likely that the Western Sichuan Army had already captured Yushu during this period.
"My father, the people who just sent to capture Nangqian's family members come back to report that the families of the three battalion commanders are no longer Xining City!" Ma Lin came back panting and reported.
"Bastard! The Sichuan Army had planned a long time ago. They had already planned to attack us. Otherwise, how could they have prepared so well?" Ma Haiyan said furiously.
"Come here, immediately inform the Ma family of Hezhou. This time, the Western Sichuan Army came to the door and we were unable to retreat. We asked them and the Ning Ma Army to send troops to help us counterattack the Western Sichuan Army!" Ma Haiyan ordered.
"Sir, we should also report this to the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Mr. Yang Changjun, and ask him to submit the court to the court and let the court face the counterattack of the Western Sichuan Army. In this case, we will stand by!" Zhou He suggested.
"Hmph! What's the use of that imperial court? Do they dare to go to war with the Western Sichuan Army?" Gu Hongyun said disdainfully.
"Okay, report to the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu at the same time. No matter what, this time the Western Sichuan Army invaded us. The imperial court always had millions of troops. With their restraint, we can face less Western Sichuan Army!" Ma Haiyan agreed with Zhou He's proposal.
