Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Ma Chao led the army to rescue Ma Teng and Cheng Gongying. After killing Hu Qi, he ordered people to extinguish the flames and set up camp in Hu Qi’s camp. Ma Chao and others simply moved into Tu Zexiong’s Chinese Army. account.

Ma Teng's wounds have been treated with care, and there is no major problem. He looked at Ma Chao, pretending to be serious: "Chao'er, you are really reckless, you dare to lead his brother and bring family soldiers to war when he was only fifteen years old?"

Ma Chao smiled and said: "Qin Dynasty Gan Luo worshipped the Xiang at the age of twelve, and his child was fifteen. How can he not be a general?"

Ma Dai on the side also smiled and said: "Uncle, don’t you know that your brother led the soldiers to fight in the same way. He led us all the way to find his uncle’s army. Tonight, when he saw his uncle fell into a hard fight, he led dozens of us to take advantage of it. The night raid camp."

When Ma Teng heard this, he couldn't help but sighed, and then looked at Ma Chao with great relief: "That said, if it weren't for Chaoer, you led your troops to rescue, it would be hard to say whether the two armies will win or lose today."

Cheng Gongying also solemnly raised his hand Jiu Jue, and said to Ma Chao: "General Xiao Ma, thanks to you today, otherwise this nearly ten thousand generals might be too bad for you. General Mou Jing Xiao Ma has a glass."

Lieutenant Colonel Ma Tengjun thought of today's **** battle, and all felt thrilled. He thanked Ma Chao for leading the army in time for assistance. Therefore, the generals and colleges raised up the wine jue and toasted Ma Chao.

Ma Chao smiled and raised the wine jue: "Thank you all, a certain respect first!"

After all, he drank it all. Most of the soldiers in the army were brave. Seeing Ma Chao was not only amazingly brave, but also drinking so heroically, they all cheered and drank all the wine in their glass.

Ma Chao put down the Jiujue and hugged Ma Teng and said: "Father, the disaster of the Qiang people is a disaster for Liangzhou. The former Beigong Boyu, Han Sui and others all led the Qiang people to make trouble, but Zhou Mu appeased the Qiang people. Gathering the crowd to cause chaos, the child asked to go and arrest him."

When Ma Teng heard Ma Chao's words, he couldn't help but frowned, thinking in his heart.

Cheng Gongying said: "Brother Shoucheng, Chao'er has some truth in what Chaoer said. Although Zhou Mu has been appeasing the Qiang people, since these Qiang people dare to make trouble, they must be taught the lesson of blood."

Ma Teng thought about it for a long time, and then he said: "Okay, Chaoer, I and you three thousand soldiers, you chase carefully, don't get caught in the enemy's ambush."

Ma Chao was overjoyed, half kneeling on the ground: "Thank you father."

Ma Chao invited three thousand cavalry from Ma Teng. After a short rest, he set off overnight. After Ma Chao questioned the enemy's trail through the captives, he rushed away day and night. The escaping Qiang never expected that after Ma Chao killed Tu Zexiong, he would still refuse to let them go. Before taking precautions, the Liangzhou cavalry had already killed them.

A handsome flag with a horse character fluttered in the wind, and wherever Ma Chao went, the Qiang people were all frightened.

On the third day of August, Ma Chao led his army to raid Tuzexiong's Yanma small tribe, capturing more than 4,000 people, including nearly 10,000 cattle, sheep and horses.

On the ninth day of August, Ma Chao led a surprise attack on Tuzexiong's headquarters at night, killing thousands of enemies, and capturing the Qiang tonight, with countless cattle, sheep and horses.

...

Ma Chao's killing of chickens and monkeys has achieved very good results. The Qiang tribes in the frontier are all terrified. Hearing the words Ma Chao, they chanted "General Tianwei God is invincible."

And Ma Teng wrote the previous battle with Tu Zexiong and Ma Chao's sweep of the Qiang people in his letter, and ordered the sentry to be sent to Liu Ye camp outside Chang'an.

"Hahaha, I said why Dong Thief hasn’t been moving since January. Li Zhigui shrank in the city of Chang’an and didn’t dare to come out. Dong Zhuo didn’t go to Guanzhong to increase his troops. He wanted to encircle Wei and save Zhao." Liu Ye couldn’t help but haha ​​after hearing Xun You’s words. laughing out loud.

Xun You also smiled: "I'm afraid that this strategy came from Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru, who met this person a few times in Luoyang."

Liu Ye nodded: "Li Ru...Dong Zhuo relies heavily on Li Ru, and the two are also Weng-in-law. It is quite difficult to separate the relationship between the two."

Guan Hai laughed when he heard Liu Ye’s words: "Lao Dong Zhuo has to beware of Lu Bu’s Union State Army and worry about the Northern Army’s rebellion. It’s already hard enough. If Li Ru opposes him again, I’m afraid that our army will rush in. It is not difficult for Kanto to recover Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo is actually quite powerful. Liu Ye, who only occupied Liangzhou, could hardly compete with Dong Zhuo. Even if he occupied Guanzhong, he could only resist Dong Zhuo’s military front. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo was in the most embarrassing period. His subordinates had vigorous power because he guarded the Northern Army and the Bingzhou Army. However, if they are restrained, another 30,000 cavalry will come out and head straight for Chang'an, fearing that Liu Ye will stand firm and guard against the dead.

"How should Ma Chao be rewarded for making such a contribution to sweeping away the Qiang people?" Liu Ye asked again.

Xun You thought a little more, and said: "You can promote Ma Teng to become a general in the town of Qiang, and Ma Chao as a captive captain."

Ma Chao’s credit is actually more than enough to be a captain, but his father Ma Teng is Liu Ye’s lieutenant. In this way, the father and son are equal. In case Ma Chao will make another military exploit in the future, the officer will be even bigger than Ma Teng. That would be embarrassing.

Xun You said: "The Qiang people were defeated by the Ma Chao and his sons, and Zhou Mu can attack Chang'an."

"Oh?"

"Zhou Mu can write Ma Chao's defeat of the Qiang people on the donation book, and then order the army sergeant to shoot the silk book into the city of Chang'an with an arrow. If the enemy sees this, they will inevitably panic and the army will be shaken. , Our army has a chance to win."

Liu Ye heard the "psychological warfare" proposed by Xun You, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, juan, this matter is left to you."

"Here." Zhang Jai replied with a fist.

Liu Ye asked again: "Wenze, how much is there in the army?"

Yu Jindao: "The state animal husbandry, army grain and grass can still support one month, but after the autumn harvest is delivered, it can still support half a year, and there will be a surplus until the end of this year.

Liu Ye's eyes shone brightly: "At the end of this year? That's enough."

If nothing else, the biggest event in the world after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Kwantung heroes' alliance against Dong Zhuo is about to come. At that time, Dong Zhuo will have to spend most of his energy facing the princes of the 18th Route of the Kwantung, and the defense in the Guanzhong direction will be inevitable. Alleviate, and Liu Ye can take the opportunity to attack Chang'an and take Tongguan.

"Reply to Ma Shoucheng, let him lead 20,000 troops from the field. These recruits should also see blood." Liu Ye ordered.

Although Liangzhou soldiers are brave and brave, in recent years there have been constant wars and elite soldiers have been constantly consumed, so new soldiers must be recruited. However, although this group of field soldiers has undergone simple training, after all, they have very little experience in battle formation.

It just so happened that generals like Zhang Jai and Yu Jin were all in Chang'an, so they should be dispatched first and practiced for a few months.
