On April 6th, when the dawn sun shone on this plateau city, Xining City woke up from its deep sleep. Slowly, the city gate opened and there was a flow of people on the street. Many people were preparing to leave the city.
Now, many residents of Xining City have land or other livelihoods outside the city. When spring comes, it is their busy time.
"Drive! Get out of the way, get out of the way! Urgent report! Urgent military situation!" Suddenly, a group of cavalry rushed towards Xining City. The soldiers guarding the city gate originally thought that there was an enemy attack and were about to intercept them.
When they arrived, they heard what they were yelling about was an urgent military situation. Suddenly, they did not dare to intercept, but instead drove away the crowd crowded at the city gate. According to the military order of the Qingma Army, anyone who delays the military situation will be beheaded.
I can't afford such a responsibility.
The cavalrymen were soldiers from the Qingma Army who came back from Yushu to report the news. There were seven of them, each with two horses. After running for a day and two nights, they finally arrived at Xining City this morning.
With the help of the guards, they entered Xining City unimpeded. The layout of Xining City was relatively small, and the streets were not wide. At this time, there were many people on the streets. This group of cavalry galloped on the streets, immediately attracting attention.
There was a flurry of excitement. However, what they were conveying was military information. Those who were hit or in the bunks did not dare to complain at all, nor did they dare to block the transmission of military information.
When the cavalry team arrived at the Admiral's Mansion in Xining, the streets were in a mess. There were smashed bunks and injured pedestrians everywhere. However, they could only admit that they were unlucky.
"Report, urgent military situation!" Arriving outside the gate of the Admiral's Mansion, the cavalry immediately dismounted.
"Follow me and report to the Admiral immediately!" The guards did not dare to neglect and immediately led the soldier who reported the message into the Admiral's Mansion.
At this time, Ma Haiyan was having breakfast. Because he was old, he was a little angry, and the corners of his mouth were blistered. There were only him and his son Ma Lin at the dining table. His wife had died long ago, and although the other concubines
Quite a lot, but that is not qualified to be on the dining table.
"Father, is there really no way to rescue my elder brother?" Ma Lin drank millet porridge and bit into the steamed buns. The people sent by Ma Haiyan to Hezhou came back, but the results were not satisfactory. The horses of the Ma Jiajun in Hezhou
An Liang felt that it was not worth it to start a war with the Western Sichuan Army for Ma Qi, so he rejected Ma Haiyan's request, which made Ma Haiyan very dissatisfied. The strength of the Qingma Army alone would definitely not be able to challenge the Western Sichuan Army, without Hezhou
With the help of Ma Jiajun and Ningma Jun, he could only watch helplessly as the Western Sichuan Army detained Ma Qi. Because of this, Ma Haiyan was in a very bad mood for the past two days and kept getting angry.
"This requires long-term consideration. However, Ma Qi's life should not be in danger. The people from the Western Sichuan Army will not imprison him for the rest of his life!" Ma Haiyan said a little depressed. Seeing his son being detained by others, the father had nothing to do.
This 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 vomit blood!
"Humph! The Western Sichuan Army is really bullying people too much. One day, I will wipe them all out!" Ma Lin said bitterly. In fact, he felt happy in his heart. Although he and Ma Qi had a good relationship.
, but they are natural enemies when it comes to seizing the inheritance rights of the Qingma Army. In Ma Lin's heart, he wished that Ma Qi would be locked up by the Western Sichuan Army for the rest of his life, and it would be best if he never returned to Qinghai.
"It's good if you have this intention, but be careful not to be too impatient. Your eldest brother is a warning for you!" Ma Haiyan sighed. Now the only son left is Ma Lin, of course he should teach him well. Something happened to Ma Qi
After that, he called Ma Lin back to his side, not only to ensure Ma Lin's safety, but also to teach him.
"Yes, father, I will take this as a warning!" Ma Lin said humbly.
"Admiral, there is an urgent military report in Yushu!" Suddenly, a guard broke in and reported loudly.
"Military emergency?"
"Yushu?"
Ma Haiyan and Ma Lin were both shocked and stood up from their seats involuntarily.
"Where are the people?" Ma Haiyan asked.
The guards immediately brought in the Yushu cavalry who came to report the news.
"Reporting to the Admiral, I am a soldier of the 6th Battalion. The Western Sichuan Army launched a large-scale attack on Yushu. The Qingma Army stationed at Nangqian had rebelled. General Gu Hongtao was unaware of the situation and was captured by Bai Meng, the commander of the 12th Battalion.
They arrived at the south gate of Yushu. The ancient battalion commander sent a villain to report to the Admiral. When the villain left Yushu, the two sides were really engaged in a fierce battle!" The cavalryman who reported the news fell to his knees and reported the report in a hoarse voice.
"What? Nangqian's defenders rebelled?" When Ma Haiyan heard the news, he couldn't help but swayed. If Ma Lin hadn't supported him with emotion, he would have fallen to the ground.
"You go down first! If anyone comes, please notify Mr. Zhou and Battalion Commander Gu Hongyun to come see me immediately!" Ma Haiyan roared angrily.
"Yes!" The guards immediately took away the cavalry who came to report the news, and at the same time sent people to invite Zhou He and Gu Hongyun.
"Ma Lin, immediately send people to arrest the families of the three battalion commanders in Nangqian. They dare to betray me, I can't spare them!" Ma Haiyan was like an angry lion, venting his anger. Compared with western Sichuan
What made him even more angry was that the defenders of Nangqian actually betrayed him, which made him very angry.
"Yes, father!" Ma Lin immediately went out to deliver the order. He knew very well that the families of these generals who dared to betray the Qing Ma Army would definitely not end well. The Qing Ma Army had always punished traitors severely.
Soon, Zhou He and Gu Hongyun arrived at the Admiral's Mansion. They both had just gotten up and rushed over before they even had time to eat breakfast. Ma Haiyan summoned them in such a hurry, something big must have happened.
Already.
In Ma Haiyan's study, Zhou He and Gu Hongyun met Ma Haiyan. At this moment, Ma Haiyan's face was flushed with anger, which made Zhou He and Gu Hongyun a little nervous. They didn't know what Ma Haiyan was.
What are you getting angry about?
"Admiral, what happened?" Zhou He asked.
"The Western Sichuan Army is attacking. Nangqian's defenders have betrayed and are leading the Western Sichuan Army to attack Yushu!" Ma Haiyan said through gritted teeth.
"What? How could this happen?" Zhou He and Gu Hongyun both screamed. Whether it was a large-scale attack by the Western Sichuan Army or the betrayal of Nangqian's defenders, this is not a trivial matter! No wonder Ma Haiyan was so angry.
.
"Admiral, should we immediately send troops to rescue Yushu?" Gu Hongyun said. After all, Yushu's garrison general Gu Hongtao was his biological brother.
"No rush! With the strength of the Western Sichuan Army, Yushu may have fallen. If we send troops now, it will have no effect at all. Instead, we will be attacked by the Western Sichuan Army!" Zhou He said.
Gu Hongyun was a little dissatisfied, but he knew that what Zhou He said was the truth. It took two days to get from Yushu to Xining. It is very likely that during this time, the Western Sichuan Army had already captured Yushu.
"Father, the families of the three battalion commanders who were just sent to arrest Nang Qian came back to report that the families of those three battalion commanders are no longer in Xining City!" Ma Lin came back panting and reported.
"Asshole! The Western Sichuan Army has already planned this. They have already planned to attack us. Otherwise, how could they be so well prepared?" Ma Haiyan said angrily.
"Come here, report this matter to the Ma family in Hezhou immediately. This time, the Western Sichuan Army has come to the door and cannot allow us to retreat. Please ask them and the Ningma Army to send troops to help us fight back against the Western Sichuan Army!" Ma Haiyan ordered.
"Sir, we should also report this matter to the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Mr. Yang Changjun, and ask him to report it to the court. Let the court also come forward to deal with the Western Sichuan Army. In this case, we will stand up and deal with it!" Zhou He suggested.
"Hmph! What's the use of that 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. In any case, it is the Western Sichuan Army that invades us this time. The imperial court always has millions of troops. With their restraint, we can face less Western Sichuan Army!" Ma Haiyan
But he agreed to Zhou He's proposal.
