Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
"Reporting to the great lord, the Han army agrees to join forces with you to wipe out those rebels!"
When Ma Yi learned that Zhang Qiao had agreed to join forces with him to quell the rebellion, he laughed heartily.
"Good! You did a good job, you can go now!"
Then Ma Yi waved his hand, dismissing A Shan's two men.
Ah Shan's two men wanted Ma Yi to find a way to rescue their captain, but seeing Ma Yi's indifferent expression, they swallowed their words.
"Brother, you said our captain risked his life to deliver a message to the Han army for the big boss, and now the captain has been detained by the Han army, and the big boss just asked a question and that's it?"
"Sigh... what are we to the big shots?"
The two men inside the room kept complaining. Recalling the scene in the Han army camp last night, they suddenly felt that they were living worse than those lowly commoners under Ma Yi's command.
Meanwhile, Zhang Qiao sent a message to Duan Jiong, and also ordered the Han soldiers to take only some of the important supplies, leaving the rest of the less important items behind before leaving the camp.
In just two days, the leaders that Ma Yi had gathered each led their hundreds of personal guards, forming a cavalry force of about six thousand men, and galloped toward the former military camp of Zhang Qiao's troops.
Ma Yi led 10,000 troops and followed leisurely behind, planning to enter and reap the rewards when they and the Han army were both exhausted in the battle.
"Report!!"
Just as the Qiang allied forces were advancing rapidly, a scout suddenly appeared in front of them.
"What's the situation up ahead?"
"Reporting to all the chieftains, the Han army camp ahead is completely deserted!"
"What? Are you sure you can see clearly? Are there any ambushes around? Are there any traps inside?"
The leader of the group seemed somewhat incredulous, and then asked urgently.
The scout stated with absolute certainty, "Reporting to the chieftain, I have entered the camp to investigate, and the Han army camp is indeed completely empty, without any traps or traces of Han soldiers in the surrounding area!"
"Quickly! Speed up!"
Upon hearing the scouts' report, the chieftains' first reaction was that the Han army had fled, and they urged their men to rush toward the Han army's camp.
Soon, the Qiang allied forces arrived at the Han army camp, and upon closer inspection, they found that the camp had indeed become an empty one.
The chieftains were the first to arrive at the camp, where they saw empty tents, scattered banners, and some armor and weapons that they hadn't had time to take with them.
It seems that the Han army left in a great hurry, and they didn't have time to take many things with them.
"Search for me, see if there's anything else useful!"
As soon as the chieftain finished speaking, a group of Qiang soldiers rushed into the Han army camp and began searching for various supplies left behind by the Han army. Among them, some even fought each other over a piece of clothing.
The entire Qiang coalition was thrown into chaos.
The chaos among the Qiang people in the camp was also observed by a Han scout hiding not far away.
