【……】

After a somewhat lengthy broadcast,

Ma Di called everyone. According to the plan he had worked out in the training scene, he ordered Zhang Xiu, Zhao Guang, Dai Ling, and Fei Yao to stay behind, and he went to Xijun with Zhao Yun, Li Sheng, Huang Xi, Qu Shang, Qu Bu and others.

Before setting off, Ma Su deliberately used a simulation scenario to ensure that the next ten days would be safe before setting off on the road.

If soldiers and horses are not dispatched, Wei's scouts hidden around Wuwei City will not be alerted.

In this way, the bald Xianbei of Xihai Qiang can be conquered without anyone noticing.

This is exactly what Ma Su wants to see.

The journey was uneventful, and when the four of them arrived outside the west gate of Xijun, it was already noon on the third day.

Ma Su first warned Qu Shang and Qu Bu, and then told Huang Xi. Li Sheng gave instructions and ordered the four of them to be divided into two groups to wait outside the west gate, and then he and Zhao Yun entered the city first.

Qu Shang and Qu Bu took the lead, pretending to be salt dealers, pushing a four-wheeled cart together, talking to each other, and walked slowly towards the city along the road.

When they saw a middle-aged farmer pushing a wooden cart slowly coming from behind, the two of them changed their conversation and began to talk about the current situation in Liangzhou.

Qu Shang turned his head slightly, glanced at the middle-aged farmer (Ke Wu) who was getting closer, and took the lead in sighing, releasing the opportunity of "someone should ask questions here."

Seeing this, Qubu, a tall man with a height of nine feet and a waist circumference of nine feet, quickly asked: "Why is Brother Shang worried?"

Qu Shang looked solemn and sighed again: "Budi doesn't know something. I'm afraid there will be another war in Xijun."

fight?!

Hearing this, Ke Wu, who was pretending to be an old farmer, was startled. He quickly reduced the speed of the car, followed behind the two of them, and pricked up his ears.

But I heard Qu Shang continue to say: "Today, General Ma Su of the Shu Han Dynasty has sent 100,000 troops to Wuwei to conquer the west. He threatened to pacify the western commandery of Liangzhou within half a month, but there are those who refuse to obey and those who resist the heavenly troops..."

"how?"

"In a matter of seconds, the city was destroyed and people were killed, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"

"Hiss..." Qu Bu took an exaggerated breath.

Not far behind him, Ke Wu also took a breath of cold air, but quickly came to his senses, shook his head and laughed.

Two country bumpkins, who are you trying to scare?

Does Ma Su have so many soldiers and horses?

He only has a total of 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry, okay? Where did he get 100,000?

Return the troops and point directly at Xijun? Return the chickens and dogs without leaving them behind?

Humph, you’re bragging and don’t draft!

Ke Wu curled his lips, feeling that the words of the two people in front of him were too false and not credible. He was about to push the cart past them and drive away when he suddenly heard the strong man (Qu Bu) ask:

"I heard that Ma Su only has 60,000 troops and horses. He still needs to defend the three eastern counties. The available troops are less than 30,000. How can he have as many as 100,000?"

Yes, how come there are as many as one hundred thousand?... Ke Wu pushed the car behind, nodding secretly, curious.

Qu Shang carefully looked around and glanced at Ke Wu in particular. Seeing that the latter was looking at his nose and his nose at his heart, he looked like an "honest farmer who doesn't hear what is happening outside the window."

Ke Wu barely heard the volume and said:

"According to reliable information, Shu Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has secretly sent tens of thousands of troops to Liangzhou."

"Hiss... How does Brother Shang know about such a major military event?" Qu Bu showed a look of inquiry on his face at the right time.

"My cousin's cousin's nephew's cousin is a guard of Wuwei City. If nothing goes wrong, within three days, 100,000 Shu troops will arrive at the gate of Xijun City."

Qu Bu asked: "Brother Shang, do you know why Ma Su only attacked Xijun first? Since the five western counties of Liangzhou have many powers, and there are 100,000 bald Xianbei tribesmen in the northeast of Xijun, why didn't Ma Su go first?

Attack here?"

That's right, why didn't Ma Su go to beat Baldy Xianbei first, but he came to beat me, Ke Wiqiang? Did I offend him... Ke Wu nodded quietly and continued to listen attentively.

Qu Shang shook his head and laughed: "Why else? Just pick up the soft persimmons and pinch them!"

Qu Bu nodded suddenly and said quickly: "Hurry up, if we can't sell this batch of goods and leave the city before Ma Di's army arrives in Xijun, it will be completely over."

"At that time, once the city was surrounded, how could it be possible for all the eggs to be destroyed?!"

"What Bu Di said is absolutely true." Qu Shang waved his hand and looked anxious: "Go quickly, go quickly!"

The two speeded up and pushed the cart straight into the city.

Kewu parked the wooden cart on the road and put his hands on his hips, meditating.

The impact of the two people's words was too great, and he needed to slow down.

In any case, the news that Ma Di, who has one hundred thousand soldiers and siege weapons, is coming to attack Xijun is a bit shocking and terrifying.

Ke Wu knew very well that he could not be stopped.

That's all that's left to ask for help...

However, if there is nothing to ask for, who would offend Ma Su for the safety of Xihai Qiang?

Take the initiative to surrender... Ke Wu quickly shook his head and suppressed this thought. If he surrendered, he would be swallowed whole, not even the skin left.

Abandoning the city...where else can we go? In the whole world, could it be the land of the king?

Ke Wu frowned and was helpless.

At this moment, two horse traders came from the east and west directions, one with a lazy face and the other with a sharp camera.

Both of them were riding a horse, holding a long rein in their hands, and a group of horses were connected to the other end of the rein.

Even though they were far away, Ke Wu heard the sound of the two chatting with each other.

"Brother, what's your last name?"

"My surname is Sniper, what about you, brother?"

"The surname is Hu."

"A sniper?"

"Sniper (Zhu) Jun's sniper (Zhu)! Where are you, brother? Hu Ren's Hu?"

"Hu (Fu) of Hu (Fu) Water"

"Brother Hu, where did you buy this horse?"

"Beidi, Brother Sniper, where are you?"

"Dunhuang, it's hard to make a living selling horses."

"Yes, I heard that there is going to be a war in Xijun."

"Oh, Brother Hu also heard about Shu Han's Western General Ma Di raising an army of 100,000 to attack Xijun?"

"Yes, the city is about to be destroyed and people are about to die. Horses are easier to sell at this time. Brother Sniper brought the horses here, isn't it to sell more horses?"

"..."

Ke Wu turned his head to look and saw the two men looking at each other, smiling, and riding towards the city.

No way?

The news that Ma Di is going to attack Xijun has spread to Dunhuang and Beidi. I, the leader, am still kept in the dark?

Ke Wu scratched his head and suddenly felt a little panicked.

I was about to push the car back to the city to think about countermeasures. Suddenly, two locals with hurried expressions came running from behind. As they ran, they shouted: "Go home, pack your things and run away, there is going to be a war!"

"There's going to be a war!"

The two ran very fast and disappeared after a while.

Ke Wu was really panicked this time. He didn't even want the wooden cart and ran towards the city.

Fortunately, the city was not completely in chaos until he entered the city.

Ke Wu didn't bother to go back and change his makeup, so he immediately ordered the city to be closed and no one was allowed in or out.

…

At this time, Ma Di and Zhao Yun were wandering around the city.

Zhao Yun was the first to notice the abnormality at the city gate, and asked worriedly: "Youchang, the city gate is closed during the day, could something happen?"

Ma Su nodded without explaining much.

Including Zhao Yun, none of them knew that the farmer's true identity was Ke Wu.

Therefore, it is inevitable to feel worried when looking at the closed city gate in front of you.

Zhao Yun looked at Ma Su with some surprise: "Youchang seems to have a plan in mind?"

Ma Di chuckled and took out a greeting note from his arms. It was an official letter with the seal of General Shu Han Zhengxi in the lower left corner.

The two people walked to the door of the largest courtyard and handed their greetings to the servant guarding the door.

The servant took the invitation and took a look at it, his expression changed drastically, he quickly closed the door, hurried inside and handed it over to Ke Wu who had just returned to the mansion.
