Not to mention, if Chu Qing made up his mind to take his younger brothers out of confinement, he would definitely beg Ma Rujing to agree to this matter.
But there must be evil in every situation. He hadn't made up his mind yet. After Ma Rujing found out about this, he came to "encourage" him first. How could Chu Qing not be suspicious.
Ma Rujing did not expect that Chu Qing would react like this, and his face was filled with suspicion: "You don't want to go?"
Chu Qing hugged his arms and said with a teasing look on his face: "Tell me first why you want me to go."
Ma Rujing's face straightened: "Promote the prestige of our country, Dachang!"
Chu Qing: "Let's talk again."
"Uh... let the cool thieves know about the reappearance of the wolf-catching army, and make them talk like a tiger!"
Chu Qing: "Let's talk again."
Ma Rujing asked in a negotiating tone: "What about striking first?"
"What are you asking me?" Chu Qing was a little impatient: "Last chance, let's talk again."
Ma Rujing blushed and gritted his teeth: "My commander... my birthday is also in the same month, uh... my seventieth birthday."
"What the hell?" Chu Qing was stunned for a moment: "You also celebrate your birthday this month?"
"Yes." Ma Rujing lowered his head with a sunken expression on his face: "My commander-in-chief's birthday is on the end of the month, which is the same day as... Liang Zei Khan."
"Pfft" made Chu Qing laugh out loud.
Fu San and Tao Shaozhang couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
Chu Qing was really overjoyed: "Everyone's son's birthday is a difficult day for the mother. It's your birthday, it's the Khan's birthday, it's a difficult day for the handsome man, hahahahaha."
Ma Rujing's face turned even redder.
It's so embarrassing to mention this.
The ancients attached great importance to birthdays, that is, birthdays, especially for older people and those with status, who would make special arrangements for them.
Ma Rujing was both the elder and the border commander.
Logically speaking, if Marshal Bian Guan celebrates his birthday, Bian Guan will definitely make a good arrangements for it.
The problem is, the grassland Khan also celebrates his birthday.
So here comes the problem. The big man on the grassland celebrating his birthday will acquiesce to various tribes going to the border to fight, and there may even be a large-scale armed conflict.
So is the birthday of Ma Rujing, the border commander, celebrated or not?
The cool thieves were clamoring at the bottom of the city. The rangers from various tribes were everywhere, and maybe some of them who were not afraid of death would shoot arrows at the top of the city. After that, the border marshal and a group of generals would have a happy birthday?
But if it fails, it will be even more embarrassing, because Liang Rong's birthday is celebrated, and Border Marshal's seventieth birthday is also celebrated. If word spreads, it will not be embarrassing enough, as if Ma Rujing is too afraid of Liang thieves.
So this is a very embarrassing thing. If you celebrate your birthday, you may be neglecting military aircraft and it will not be heard well.
But it’s your birthday, you’re just a coward. People are sweating it out on their birthdays, so you don’t dare to celebrate it, and it will be even more embarrassing if the news spreads.
"I didn't expect it." Chu Qing finally suppressed his smile: "Your side, Marshal Guan and Liang Rong Khan, actually have this bad relationship."
It was a coincidence that Liang Rong Khan's birthday also fell at the end of the month, so the two of them bumped into each other.
Tao Shaozhang was very curious: "Commander, so last year you were..."
Ma Rujing's face turned as red as a monkey's ass: "Keep it secret."
"Then it would be better if we don't make any noise this year."
Ma Rujing sighed again: "I think the emperor will send someone here..."
Half the story, Lao Ma can't be sure.
There is a record registered by the Ministry of War. It stands to reason that if he celebrates his seventieth birthday, the Ministry of War will tell the palace. Logically speaking, both the court and the emperor will send gifts to celebrate his birthday, but he is not sure because this is his first birthday.
A seventieth birthday, sixty-nine last year, anyway, no.
"You have a good idea."
Chu Qing was both angry and funny: "In order to celebrate your seventieth birthday, you asked hundreds of us to go out and risk our lives. How do you have the nerve to say this?"
"No, I am not so handsome on this birthday, but I can't let that cold thief sweat and feel comfortable."
"Oh, then I support you, just take your guards and go to the grassland to cause trouble."
"No, no, no." Comrade Lao Ma chuckled: "You don't need to wait and put yourself in danger. Just find a small tribe at random, put up a banner to catch wolves, let the grassland, let the cool thieves, and let the big man know how to catch wolves.
When the wolf army becomes an army again, he will naturally... hahahahaha."
Ma Rujing burst out laughing, looking very proud of himself.
Chu Qing said angrily: "Commander, you can just let the Xiaoqi battalion carry the flag of the wolf-catching camp and go for a walk on the grassland. Why do you let the wolf-catching army do it?"
Ma Rujing's expression changed slightly: "Would you like to hand over the wolf-catching flag to someone else?"
"Isn't it just to scare people? I'll give it to you first..."
"Master, no!"
Fu San quickly interrupted: "This wolf-catching flag is stained with the blood of brothers who died in the battle. I once swore an oath that you cannot command the flag unless you have to catch the wolf-catching soldiers."
Looking at Ma Rujing, Fu San shook his head slightly: "When the wolf-catching army comes out of seclusion, it is necessary to massacre the grassland tribes. Commander, don't say more. The wolf-catching army will not do such childish things."
"Listen to what I have to say." Ma Rujing looked at Chu Qing and said, "I will be out of isolation soon."
"Are you coming out of seclusion too?" Chu Qing was confused: "Are you going to celebrate the birthday of Liangrong Khan?"
Ma Rujing: “…”
"No, why are you out of seclusion?"
"The troops are divided into three groups, one for me, one for Tian Hailong, and one for Xiao Zhi. They are all cavalry. I have two thousand elites, Tian Hailong has three thousand horse archers, and Xiao Zhi has one thousand horse archers from the cavalry battalion. They are divided into three groups.
Enter the grassland in three directions: east, west and north."
Chu Qing's face turned cold: "Just because it's a bad birthday and a fight, you let the border troops come out of the border?"
"That's not the intention, no fighting, just to draw a map."
"Drawing a map?"
"Yes, now the tribes on the grassland have begun to gather. If we attack Changchang, it should be in late summer or at least early autumn. After the three elites of my commander left the pass, they traveled at night and rested in the day. They entered the grassland and dispersed, one group of fifty people.
, record the gathering place of the grassland tribes, and only march for five days. After five days, no matter whether the positions of the Liang Pi tribes have been determined or not, they must return to the pass. After returning to the pass, before the end of summer, they will send elites to the grassland again to clear the periphery of the grassland.
The gathered tribes were defeated one by one."
Chu Qing's pupils shrank: "Take the initiative this year?"
Ma Rujing gave a bitter smile: "It's not really a proactive attack. I just thought about whether I could weaken the enemy before the Liang bandits gathered their forces."
"That's not right." Chu Qing was not an idiot and said suspiciously: "If we leave the border at the same time, you are drawing maps and don't want to expose our traces, but our wolf-catching army wants to kill people. In this case, why don't we let Liang Thief do it?"
Do you know that we know their movements and locations?"
"No, this is why I want to catch the wolf army and leave the border. The Liang thieves know that the border troops will not leave the border. Only the wolf hunting army will leave the border. In order to prevent the wolf hunting army, they will definitely send their small number to the border.
The tribes gathered together again.”
Chu Qing suddenly realized that Ma Rujing had made this plan.
The wolf-catching army was actually a smoke bomb. Ma Rujing first sent people to the grassland to record the locations of various tribes. Liang Thieves had always had a habit. If multiple tribes gathered, they would go to the place where the number of people was small and where there were more people.
On that side.
Once the news about the "reappearance" of the wolf-catching army spreads throughout the grassland, those tribes will gather in fear of being attacked by the wolf-catching army.
At that time, Ma Rujing will accurately determine where they are gathering, and then send elite cavalry to raid the assembled tribes, and the provincial army will be scattered and captured one by one.
"I didn't see it." Chu Qing was somewhat impressed: "You are quite shameful... No, you still have this strategy."
"If you dare or don't dare, give me a happy word."
"Forehead…"
"What the hell do you think you dare to do?"
Chu Qing scratched the back of his head: "I will give you an answer tomorrow. I will discuss it with my brothers."
