"Yes, Admiral, I will send someone to Lanzhou to report this matter to the Governor!" Zhou He said. As a Han man, he still has a deep-rooted idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor in his heart. Although this monarch was not the monarch of the Han people. However, for more than two hundred years, most Han people probably regarded them as real monarchs and forgot their original foreign identity. Zhou He is such a literati. He is deeply poisoned by feudal thoughts and still has the imperial power to be supreme. Although the Qing Ma Army and the Ma Family Army are just separatist forces that depend on the court, only the only one who can make the decision on the Lanzhou City. But Zhou He still regards him as the highest military and political chief in the entire Shaanxi and Gansu region.

"This is not busy. Now we have to discuss countermeasures and how to deal with the Western Sichuan Army. This time, the Western Sichuan Army launched a large-scale invasion and was prepared so well that it would definitely not be so easy to retreat!" Ma Haiyan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Admiral, can they really want to swallow our Qinghai and Gansu? Our Ma family army has more than 100,000 elite soldiers in total! Can they swallow it? They are not afraid of bursting their stomachs!" Gu Hongyun said with anger on his face.

"Maybe they really have such thoughts this time!" Zhou He said. The peace between the Western Sichuan Army and the Qing court was more than ten years. During this period, the regime in western Sichuan had long been stable and had accumulated enough powerful strength. One mountain cannot withstand two tigers, and there must be a decisive battle between western Sichuan and the Qing court. Obviously, western Sichuan seemed to have regarded the Ma family army as a breakthrough. No wonder, the 100,000 elite troops of the Ma family army were all cavalry. In this era, cavalry was undoubtedly the best mobile force. If the Ma family army attacked the rear of the Western Sichuan Army during the war with the Qing court, the Western Sichuan Army would be unable to resist at all. Therefore, the Western Sichuan Army was ready to take the initiative and deal with the Ma family army first.

"Admiral, since the Western Sichuan Army wants to swallow us, let's fight to the death with them! Admiral, please allow me to lead my army out of the city to rescue the defenders of Yushu, and fight to the death with the Western Sichuan Army on the grassland!" Gu Hongyun knelt down on the ground and begged. Until now, he is still thinking about the safety of his younger brother Gu Hongtao, and he doesn't know that Gu Hongtao had been killed long ago. Or was killed by the Qingma Army.

"Hong Yun, get up, you can't act voluntarily now. The Western Sichuan Army is powerful. If we send troops rashly, we may be defeated by the Western Sichuan Army. It will be even more difficult to defend Qinghai at that time!" Ma Haiyan followed Gu Hongyun's opinion without any brains. He was older and not as impulsive as he was young, and he was more comprehensive in thinking about the problems.

"This time, the Western Sichuan Army launched a large-scale invasion. It is a life-and-death battle for our Qingma Army and even the entire Ma Family Army. We must defeat the Western Sichuan Army so that we can protect Qinghai and our foundation. Therefore, fighting against the Western Sichuan Army is not just our Qingma Army. Send people to inform the Hezhou Ma Family Army and Ning Ma Army that it is time for life and death. We need everyone to work together to fight against the Western Sichuan Army!" Ma Haiyan said.

"Yes, Admiral, I will rush to Hezhou in person to meet Admiral Ma Anliang later." Zhou He said.

"In addition, we have to counterattack and cannot allow the Western Sichuan Army to attack. Our advantage lies in mobility and attack. The soldiers of the Qingma Army are not used to defend the city. The Western Sichuan Army has strong firepower, and if they attack the city with cannons, we cannot defend it at all! Therefore, as long as we actively attack and completely eliminate them in the field, we can win!" Ma Haiyan said loudly.

"The Admiral is wise!" Zhou He and Gu Hongyun said hurriedly.

"Admiral, with the strength of the Western Sichuan Army, Yushu may have fallen when the reinforcements rushed over. Therefore, I think we should not rescue Yushu, but should gather all the limited forces, and cooperate with the Hezhou Ma Family Army and Ning Ma Army to eliminate the Western Sichuan Army in one fell swoop!" Zhou He suggested.

Gu Hongyun opened his mouth, but still said nothing. Although he was uneasy about his brother's safety, he also knew that it would be impossible to send troops to rescue Yushu under such circumstances. The Qingma Army had suffered heavy losses, and Ma Haiyan would no longer agree to divide the troops, as it would only waste limited troops.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Ma Haiyan asked.

"Admiral, after the Sichuan Army takes Yushu, the next direction of the attack will definitely be Maqin. We have ten battalions and tens of thousands of elite troops there. If we can conquer Maqin, we will lose most of our troops. Therefore, I think we should order Maqin's defenders to defend Maqin and drag the Qingma Army there. In this way, we have enough time to mobilize troops, use Maqin as the final decisive place, defeat the Sichuan Army in one battle, and completely cut off the ambition of the Sichuan Army to annex us!" Zhou He said.

"Fight to Maqin?" Ma Haiyan murmured, stood up and stopped in front of the Qinghai map hanging on the wall. When Ma Qin had a decisive battle, the Qingma army had to use up all its combat power. After fighting this, it was difficult to tell whether it was a loss or a win or a victory. "I hope Allah can bless his people!" Ma Haiyan murmured with his eyes closed, and then he opened his eyes as if he had made a final decision.

"Okay, if the western Sichuan Army wants to fight, then we will fight with them. With Maqin as the center, fight to the death with the western Sichuan Army on the grassland and completely defeat them. Order Maqin's defenders to defend and wait for assistance. Before the army arrives, they should not leave the city without authorization to fight with the western Sichuan Army. Order Xining's defenders, except for the Third Battalion and the Fourth Battalion, the remaining first battalion, the Second Battalion, the Tenth Battalion, the 11th Battalion, the 13th Battalion, the 14th Battalion, and the 16th Battalion, the remaining first battalion, the 2nd Battalion, the 11th Battalion, the 14th Battalion, and the 16th Battalion, the 11th Battalion, the 14th Battalion, and the 16th Battalion, except for the Third Battalion and the 3rd Battalion, the 10th Battalion, the 11th Battalion, the 13th Battalion, the 14th Battalion, and the 16th Battalion, the 11th Battalion, the 14th Battalion, and the 16th Battalion, the 11th Battalion, the 14th Battalion, the 16th Battalion, the 11th Battalion, the 13th Battalion, the 14th Battalion, and the 16th Battalion, the 11th Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, the 3rd

,The 18th Battalion, the 22nd Battalion, the 24th Battalion, the 25th Battalion, the 26th Battalion, the 27th Battalion, the 28th Battalion, the 29th Battalion and the 30th Battalion, immediately prepare for the departure and head to Maqin tomorrow to prepare for a decisive battle with the Western Sichuan Army. In addition, we request that the Hezhou Ma Family Army and Ning Ma Army must send the most elite troops to the war. If we fail, it will be their turn next!" Ma Haiyan calmly issued a combat order.

"Yes, Admiral!" Zhou He and Gu Hongyun both took the order. Zhou He was going to Hezhou to pay homage to Gansu Admiral Ma Anliang, and the task of leading the troops must be handed over to Gu Hongyun.

"Sir, my child asks to join the war and destroy the Western Sichuan Army!" Ma Lin said loudly.

"No, you stay in Xining, I will go in person this time! I have been in my life, so I want to see if the Western Sichuan Army has the ability to swallow up the 100,000 elite troops of my Ma family!" Ma Hai said boldly.

"Ah! My father, I'd better go!" Ma Lin quickly persuaded. After all, Ma Haiyan is already sixty-four years old, and it seems impossible to ride a horse to fight at this age. Even if it is bumpy for a long distance, it may take his life.

"No need to say more, although I am old, I can still ride a horse and swing the sabre!" Ma Haiyan said stubbornly.

Seeing this, as long as everyone stopped persuading, they also knew Ma Haiyan's determination to fight against the Western Sichuan Army.

With Ma Haiyan's orders coming, the entire Xining City suddenly became nervous. The troops of various units were mobilized and ready to go to war at any time. At the same time, the envoys sent to Lanzhou and Hezhou had already set off. They were preparing to accuse the atrocities of the Western Sichuan Army from Shaanxi and Gansu Governor Yang Changjun, and when they went to Hezhou, they asked the Ma family army and Ning Ma army to also send troops to deal with the Western Sichuan Army together.

The current Ma family army in Hezhou is powered by Ma Zhan'ao's son Ma Anliang. Although Ma Anliang is only 36 years old this year, he is resourceful and has the spirit of being a father. Although Ma Haiyan of the Qingma Army and Ma Qianling of the Ningma Army are both his uncles and uncles, they all follow his horse's leader.

Zhou He only took a day to arrive in Hezhou and met Ma Anliang. Ma Anliang was also very shocked when he learned that the Western Sichuan Army had launched a large-scale invasion. However, the three Ma family members had always been in unison, and he immediately expressed that he would not sit idly by. He would send elite troops from the Ma family army to Maqin to participate in the war. At the same time, he would send people to inform the Ning Ma army to send troops to the war. Gather the three families' forces to fight the Western Sichuan Army in Maqin.
