The soldiers brought by Ma Chao were registering the leaders who came here and the tribes they represented.

Some tribal leaders found that the good-natured leaders did not come, so they sent people to inform them.

Those tribal leaders who thought they would be fine if they didn't come, but when they heard that Ma Chao's people had registered, they immediately realized that if they didn't go this time, they wouldn't have another chance to go there. Except for a few who were afraid of Cheriji's bone marrow, everyone else was also on their way.

Ma Chao summoned the leaders to discuss matters in the Qiang people near Fufeng. In Fufeng City, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not idle either.

On the one hand, they were preparing for the battle with Cherigi's army, and on the other hand, they were always paying attention to Cherigi's movements.

Jia Xu sent a lot of scouts, all of whom were Qiang people from Xiliang. They dressed up as ordinary Qiang people and were scattered between Xiliang and Fufeng.

Although Ma Chao, who was in the tribe, only brought more than a dozen people, although there were a hundred tribe leaders who were summoned by him to discuss the matter, he was very awe of him and did not even dare to raise his head in front of him.

It was impossible for a hundred people to sit down in a tent. Ma Chao looked around everyone, his face was solemn, and said to them: "Summoning you here is actually an important matter to discuss with you. I don't hide it from you. This time I came to Xiliang, because His Majesty heard that there was some chaos in Xiliang, so he asked me to lead the army to calm the chaos. When I got here, I realized that Xiliang was not really chaos, but someone was causing trouble here."

When Ma Chao spoke, the leaders all lowered their heads, not daring to look up at them.

"I also know that some of you have had some connections with Cherigi in the past, but they just didn't work for him." Ma Chao continued, "I have nothing to say about anything else, I can only say congratulations on these people for saving their lives. Now their lives are still in your hands, but they are not reliable. From today on, if these people don't collude with Cherigi, I can let them continue to live. If they secretly collude with Cherigi..."

With a cold smile, Ma Chao narrowed his eyes slightly: "You are not unaware of my methods. How I will treat you, I must be more clear."

"General Ma said," said a leader who had never colluded with Cheriji: "At the time when General Ma was not in Xiliang, we suffered a lot of trouble from Cheriji. In order to survive with his tribe, some people could only have some engagement with him. Now that the general is back, whoever has any contact with Cheriji again will be really stupid."

"I know, okay." Ma Chao nodded and said to the leaders: "Since you have suffered from Cheriji, now you have a chance to get back all the hardships you have suffered from him. I wonder if you are willing or not?"

Although some of the leaders who were sitting had some unexplained connections with Cherigi, they actually hated Cherigi to the core.

Over the years, Cherigik has taken away beauties and wealth from their tribes a lot.

Even the leader who once had a close relationship with him actually hoped that Cheriji's Xiliang Kingdom would be erased from the world as soon as possible.

The leaders all looked surprised, not knowing what Ma Chao wanted them to do.

After glanced around everyone's faces, Ma Chao continued, "What I want you to do is actually very simple. My scout had received news before that Cheriji planned to send a large army to attack me first. Jiahe has made arrangements. Although our army is absolutely sure to repel him, it will be difficult for us to completely defeat him in the short term. We invite you here, hoping that you can gather the tribe members and help the army with one armament at that time."

"What does General Ma want us to do?" When talking about fighting against Cheriji, a leader of the Huns asked Ma Chao.

Ma Chao replied: "I have already made it clear that when the army fights against Cheriji, you need to bring the warriors of the clan to intercept them behind the scenes. All the Qiang people are united in one heart and virtue to completely erase Cheriji from the world."

The leaders of the Qiang people looked at each other, but did not dare to agree to Ma Chao immediately.

"You should all understand that if there were no Cheliji, the Qiang people in Xiliang would have been much better." Ma Chao said: "The Qiang people are still different from the Xiongnu tribes. The Huns are nomadic tribes, and they make a living by grazing. As long as the tribes move, it is not that easy to find them. The Qiang people and the Yuan people have lived together for so many years, and they have long been similar to the Yuan people's habits. If you want to farm, although you will raise some livestock, they are not walking around like the Huns. Let me ask you, Cheliji will not be destroyed, and he wants to cause trouble for you in the future. Can you have a place to run away?"

The leader of the Qiang people was sweating coldly after he said it. Ma Chao continued, "You must have discovered it when you came here. My guards registered for each of you. I don't hide it from you. These registrations are done to find out who are there and which tribes that came this time. The number of soldiers in the army is limited, and it is impossible for the entire Xiliang to take care of it. We must choose some tribes to abandon them when they are attacked. As for which tribes are abandoned, I don't need to say, you should understand."

Of course, the leaders understood that what Ma Chao said was that he had to abandon some tribes, which meant those who had not come after receiving the convening order.

Every tribe leader sitting here can of course ask Ma Chao for help once he encounters a dangerous situation.

At that time, Ma Chao would just decide whether to go to rescue according to the registered roster. It would be enough.

After thinking about this level, all the leaders breathed a sigh of relief.

Neither Ma Chao nor Cherigi could afford to offend them.

Cheriji went to their tribe to rob, and they had no choice. If Ma Chao also sent someone, their lives with their tribe will be even more difficult in the future.

Now that the name has been listed, Ma Chao's people certainly cannot go to their tribe to grab beauty and wealth.

Even if Cherigi sent people there, the Wei army would provide assistance.

With the Wei army as a backing, after all, there was no support in the past, so I could only let Cheriji Hu be stronger.

"We will do whatever General Ma wants us to do." A Qiang leader immediately expressed his opinion to Ma Chao.

"Okay, very good!" Ma Chao nodded with satisfaction and said to him: "If you are willing to help us like you, the soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty will not forget them in the future."

Since some people began to express their opinions, others have followed suit.

As more and more leaders expressed their opinions, a smile finally appeared on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth.

When everyone expressed their opinions, he said to everyone: "Actually, I haven't finished a word just now. Those who are willing to fight against Cheriji with our soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty are of course our allies. From now on, as long as you can do my best, I will do my best. As for those who are unwilling to be with us, it's better for them to go. What I said is still good, and there are some tribes who will not only not fight against Cheriji with us, but will also collude with him, intending to be detrimental to us. Tribes like this..."

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Ma Chao paused and glanced around everyone's faces: "I don't need to say much, you should know their fate. So after you go back this time, in addition to summoning the warriors to prepare, there is another thing, which is to tell the leaders of the shaking tribes what I said. Their life and death have nothing to do with me, but if they want to die, I will definitely let them die completely."

Ma Chao had been in Xiliang for many years, and most of the leaders were familiar with him.

Many people know that Ma Chao will not easily make harsh words, and once he says it, he will definitely do it in the future.

"Don't worry, General Ma, we will definitely pass the message." A leader immediately expressed his opinion to Ma Chao.

"I have sent a lot of wine and meat from Fufeng, so you don't have to rush back in the past two days." Ma Chao said: "I'll treat you and discuss with you specific matters about military use."

Ma Chao said he wanted to entertain everyone, but the leaders did not dare to leave easily without ignorance. They all expressed their willingness to stay for two more days.

It has been a few days since he came here, and Ma Chao is very clear that he should discuss the matter as soon as possible so that he can return to Fufeng to make further plans.

After summoning the leaders to make an agreement with them to join the tent, Ma Chao returned to the tent.

While he was waiting for the guard to report and inform the banquet was ready, a guard came outside the tent: "Report to General Jia Gong, and he sent someone over, saying that there is something important to report."

If something particularly important happened, Jia Xu would never send someone here to see Ma Chao.

Feeling that something must have happened, Ma Chao ordered the guards: "Bring people in."

The guard lifted the curtain and led an officer into the tent.

Looking up at the officer, Ma Chao asked, "Mr. Jia wants you to come over, do you have something to tell me?"

"Report to General Ma, our scout found out that Cherigi sent an elite force of 500 people to come here." The officer replied: "In just one day, they can get here. For the sake of general Zhouquan, General Zhao also led his troops to support..."

"Tell Zilong that there are only five hundred people." Before the officer finished speaking, Ma Chao said to him: "I can handle it completely and don't need him to come and help."

"General...this..." Ma Chao refused Zhao Yun to come to help. The officer said hesitantly: "Jia Gong also knows that the general is extremely brave, but the 500 people selected by Cheriji are all elites under his command. Moreover, if these people come quietly, the general must be careful."

"If you didn't come, I might have caught Cheriji's path." Ma Chao said, "Now you have told me about Cheriji's plan. If I don't have any warning, wouldn't you be sorry to Mr. Jia? You go back and tell Mr. Jia that I have all his reminders. Also, let me tell Zilong again. It's not that I don't take his favor, but because Cheriji sent too few people. If you need Zilong to come to support me, wouldn't I be very shameless in Xiliang?"

"I understand what the general means." The officer replied: "I will report back to Mr. Jia and General Zhao truthfully."

"Thank you for your hard work." Ma Chao nodded.

The officer left, and Ma Chao ordered the guards: "Let the people who prepare for the banquet be quicker. I will say something to the leaders during the banquet."

Ma Chao sent someone to urge the people who were preparing for the banquet did not dare to delay any more. Not long after, a lot of linen was laid in the open space of the tribe.

Although some tribes of the Qiang people still live in tents, it was because they were robbed and poor for so many years.

Although the Qiang people are also aliens in the eyes of the original people, many of their habits are actually similar to those of the original people.

They know how to spin and weave cloth, and they also know how to farm and pick mulberry trees.

Compared with the nomadic Huns, the Qiang people lived a settled life.

The linen cloth on the ground is what Ma Chao needs to use to entertain guests.

There were few tables and chairs in the Qiang tribe. So many people attended the banquet, so of course they could only place wine and food in linen.

Before Ma Chao arrived, there were more than a dozen Qiang leaders sitting around each piece of linen.

Not long after they sat down, someone brought dishes and wine.

Everyone didn't go to eat, they sat there waiting for Ma Chao.

Not long after, Ma Chao came with a few guards.

Seeing that he was coming, the leaders of the Qiang people stood up and saluted.

Ma Chao laid his hand and said to the Qiang leaders: "Please sit down, I have something to tell you about the banquet later."

Ma Chao had already told them a lot before, but this time he had something to tell them. The leaders of the Qiang people all showed confusion, but no one dared to ask.

He didn't explain much to them, so Ma Chao sat down.

Holding up a glass of wine, Ma Chao asked the leaders: "Many of you are familiar with me. I have a word to ask you, how brave am I in the eyes of the Qiang people?"

When Ma Chao mentioned his bravery, the Qiang people certainly admired him very much.

An immediate tribe leader said, "General Ma is the number one warrior in Xiliang. When it comes to courage, who else in Xiliang dares to say no?"

"If there are five or six hundred so-called elites, do you think I can deal with them by my own strength?" Ma Chao asked again.

I don't understand why he asked this, and many Qiang leaders looked at each other without saying anything.

A leader of the Qiang tribe couldn't help but ask Ma Chao: "I dare to ask General Ma, why did he suddenly ask this?"

"I'll ask you, can you deal with it with me alone?" Ma Chao emphasized and asked the Chongqiang people again.

"The general is extremely brave, and it is definitely not a problem to deal with five or six hundred people." Another leader of the Qiang man replied with suspicion of flattery.

It was impossible to deal with five or six hundred people with one person's strength. He said this just because he wanted Ma Chao to be happy.
