The people of Liangrong didn't know the fool who was cutting people all day long. They had been fighting with Dachang Chao for so long. The situation on both sides was known to each other.
The border is controlled by the Sun family, and the other party must know it. If they don't know, they won't dare to play such a trick.
Chu Qing somewhat understood Ma Rujing.
He could see that Ma Rujing was very angry, and the veins on his forehead were popping. Every general was like this.
But they were powerless, there was nothing they could do.
If Sun Aojie dies, the Sun family will definitely blame the border troops, and then there will be delays in providing supplies. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the court cannot control it at all.
Feng Luo had experienced this kind of thing before. When the family made things difficult for him, he didn't say anything. The eldest daughter-in-law, Feng Gong's wife, took more than 200 troops to Xunyang Road and directly made things difficult for the border troops.
Zhizhou killed more than a dozen of his family members, and set fire to two houses before leaving. It can almost be said that the family that made things difficult for them was wiped out.
But in fact, it does not solve any problems and does not help.
If a Wang family dies and a Li family pops up, the border troops can kill them, but they have to endure the anger of the court and the criticism of the courtiers, who say that the border troops are lawless and interfere in local government affairs.
And these courtiers all come from aristocratic families.
If Ma Rujing doesn't care about Sun Aojie's life or death, if Ma Rujing leads his people to destroy the entire Sun family, the result will still be the same as before. He won't say anything when criticized, Xunyang said, and no one will do anything to them anymore.
Business" would also use various reasons and excuses to delay military supplies. Many, many troubles were caused by the border troops.
Fu San also squatted on the ground, accompanying Chu Qing. Except for Tian Hailong and Xiao Yi, everyone from Changjing squatted down.
This group of squatting people was very conspicuous. Ma Rujing glanced sideways, as did other generals.
Ma Rujing stared at Chu Qing with a strange look on his face.
He had just heard Xiao Yi and Tian Hailong explain the affairs of the Sun family, so he stared at Chu Qing, as if telling Chu Qing, look, this is the border, this is the border army, this is the fucking world, let us sweat, let us
We bleed, and it also makes us cry, but we have to endure it and hold it back.
As if he was connected, as if he really understood the reason why Ma Rujing was staring at him, Chu Qing smiled slightly and nodded.
Chu Qing may have understood Ma Rujing's gaze.
But Ma Rujing didn't understand Chu Qing's smile.
Everyone is waiting for Sun Yao, the head of the Sun family.
This is the dignity of the border army. They will not immediately transport the food out in exchange for hostages, so they have to wait for Sun Yao.
After Sun Yao came and promised to replenish the grain, they would let people transport the grain out.
Helping the Sun family save people is not because they are afraid of the Sun family, at least, they are unwilling to admit it.
Time passed by, and tens of thousands of troops stood guard at the top of the city and behind the city gate, not because there was a war, but because of a gauntlet that might be a declaration of war, and because they had to wait for the head of a noble family.
Sun Yao finally appeared. A big fat man, very fat, and with a group of followers, with anxious expressions on his face, and no troops to stop him, he hurried up to the city wall wearing rich clothes.
"Ma Rujing!" Sun Yao, who was in his early sixties and well-maintained, with a dim light on his face, shouted as he ran: "Save my son, save him, food, my Sun family will make up for it, save him
!”
Tian Hailong was furious: "How dare you call the commander-in-chief by his name!"
Sun Yao ignored him at all and ran directly in front of Ma Rujing.
As for Tian Hailong, it was just a formality. The general meaning is, Lao Ma, look, although I, Tian Hailong, shot you with an arrow some time ago, and although I am standing next to Mr. Chu now, I, Tian Hailong, still regard you as my boss. So handsome.
Before Ma Rujing could speak, Sun Yao lay on the wall again: "Jie'er, where is Jie'er, where is Jie'er, Jie'er, don't be afraid, dad is here, dad is here, dad will step aside immediately." Qiu Ba from the army will save you, don't be afraid."
After shouting a few times, Sun Yao turned around and shouted to Ma Rujing: "What are you doing standing still? Change the food. Quickly, use the food to call Jie'er back."
Being yelled at by a mere head of an aristocratic family, Ma Rujing's face showed no anger. He just said calmly: "Three hundred carts of food is not much."
"My Sun family will make up for it, and we will definitely make up for it. We will make up for fifty more cars, and they will be sent within a few days. Go and rescue people quickly."
Ma Rujing suddenly pointed to the Liangrong people outside the city and showed a sarcastic smile: "Commander, before I finish speaking, there are three hundred carts of grain, but Alleghenda wants five hundred soldiers to send the grain out. Do you know why?"
"What do you mean?"
"The Silver Eagle Department is not short of food, and Alleghenda is not short of food either. He came in person and said that three hundred carts of food would require five hundred soldiers to escort him. Do you think he really wants food?"
Sun Yao, who had already gone crazy with anxiety, couldn't think about this and shouted: "Don't say these useless words, rescue the person quickly, quickly!"
"Sun Yao, I will tell you what will happen after five hundred people leave the city."
There was still no anger on Ma Rujing's face, but there was only incomparable silence and indifference.
"One day later, word will spread in the grassland that the second prince of the grassland with a friendly smile will play tricks on the border troops, the commander of the border troops, and the commander in chief. He became a frightened bird, and then used a mere son of an aristocratic family to attract 500 border troops out of the city, and 3,000 silver eagle warriors carrying longbows slaughtered 500 border troops. Things will only develop like this."
Chu Qing's expression changed slightly as he squatted by the wall watching the excitement, as did many generals.
Of course, only Fu San didn't have any unexpected look on his face.
Ma Ying's face was full of admiration: "Third brother, you got it right."
Fu San turned his head and pressed against the wall.
Chu Qing gasped and looked back at Fu San. Sure enough, as the third brother said, Liang thief is here to kill people!
Ma Rulong has already made it clear that this matter is a trap. The Second Prince of the Grassland dug a trap to set it up.
Chu Qing also had to look at Ma Rulong with admiration. Ma Rulong was worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the frontier army. His IQ level should not be much lower than that of his third brother.
When Ma Rulong explained his guess, Zhang Chengxiao gasped and began to flatter him: "The commander-in-chief is right. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief came here. If not, the brothers would have fallen into the trap of the thief Liang."
Chu Qing had contempt on his face. As soon as he saw Zhang Chengxiao, he felt that this guy was not a good guy. He was a flatterer, but he really didn't look past him.
"Half a car!"
At this moment, Sun Yao suddenly said: "If a frontier soldier dies, I will pay you half a truckload of food for the frontier army."
Chu Qing's eyes were about to burst, but Zhang Chengxiao raised three fingers: "Three carts, one frontier soldier will die, and three carts of food."
Chu Qing gritted his teeth. At this moment, he had a list in his mind, a blacklist. Anyone on the list must die. Zhang Chengxiao was the first person on the list.
But after the anger, he was shocked, extremely shocked, because Chu Qing saw that all the generals, including Ma Rujing, had expressions on their faces, as if they had been used to it for a long time.
Chu Qing was like falling into an ice cave. Is the life of the soldier only worth three carts of food?
"Two carts!" Sun Yao choked his neck and shouted: "In exchange for my son, if the five hundred frontier troops leave the city and they are all killed, my Sun family will compensate your frontier troops for thousands of carts of food and rice."
Ma Rujing said nothing, and Zhang Chengxiao laughed loudly: "Okay, it's settled."
Chu Qing stood up suddenly, but Zhang Chengxiao suddenly put his helmet on his head and waved his hand.
"Brothers from Ma Gong Camp, come with me and go out of the city to exchange for food!"
Chu Qing was stunned, completely stunned.
Zhang Chengxiao actually wanted to go there in person. This was obviously a trap. If he went in person, wouldn't this mean he was going to die?
Xiao Yi bent down and gave a military salute, and so did Tian Hailong.
Ma Rujing lowered his head and said nothing, but his fists were tightly clenched.
It was Fu San again, Fu San still looked as normal, because he knew that no one could get out today because his young master was here.
Ma Ying's eyes lit up, she squatted down and asked in a low voice, "Third brother, have you guessed anything?"
