Everyone, from Liangzhou to the imperial court, thought that when Liangzhou would be chaotic, Liangzhou was not chaotic. Now Liangzhou is as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, and there is no turmoil in the slightest imagination.

However, the people in Liangzhou clearly felt the fluctuation of people's hearts, in a dark sky, through the grassland, the city, the sea of clouds, the snow-capped mountains, through the cry of children, the howl of coyotes, the scolding of men, and the neighing of horses. On top of all this, there is a huge whirlpool, which is accumulating strength, intent on disintegrating all the deployments that the Han Empire has made in Liangzhou with the force of thunder.

The economy is always the first to reflect social conditions.

In the summer of the fifth year of Renxu Guanghe, the grain price in Liangzhou was like riding a sweaty horse, and the price of low-grade grain for corn and corn rose wildly.

By the time people reacted, the price of rice had risen to more than 500 yuan, and continued to rise in the same trend. Subsequently, the price of swords, leather armor, and even grass forks and wooden poles, everything that could be used as weapons also increased to varying degrees.

All of a sudden, the fool knew that a war was coming.

Ma Yue looked at all this and just sighed secretly, but he couldn't do anything, not to mention that he couldn't do it, even the Thorn Shi Lianghu couldn't control the soaring prices of these things, let alone his small army.

Before the county lieutenant's appointment letter came down, Ma Yue and the others had been staying in the Lingshui military camp. These days, he and a few friends have been planning to develop a new type of training technique.

There were only two traditional training techniques in the Han Empire, one was training and the other was hunting. The training is nothing more than military drills, playing stone locks, practicing horsemanship, and riding and archery.

Although the general direction is like this, each has its own methods, some of the soldiers under the command of the general are very fierce, and some are not half imposing.

The three hundred elite soldiers under Ma Yue already have the shape of elite soldiers, and after years of training, with Ma Yue's prestige rising step by step, they already have the appearance of elite soldiers, and the food and military salaries allocated by Liang Hu are relatively sufficient, and their physical fitness is not bad. It's just that Ma Yue feels that it is still a little worse.

Peng Tuo said that veterans, veterans who have experienced enough fire and blood of war, are the real elite soldiers.

Ma Play thinks that the most vicious people are the real grim reaper on the battlefield, and the warriors who have nothing but life are the decisive elements.

Guan Yu believes that a real man who is strong in martial arts and is not afraid of life and death orders can lead to victory in a war.

As far as Ma Yue is concerned, what the three of them said is right, but it is slightly one-sided, and the opinions of the three people are united but there are some conflicts, and they cannot be combined into one.

It is difficult for men with strong martial arts skills to be extremely vicious and have nothing, because their martial arts are enough for them to get what they need to survive. The most vicious people have experienced enough wars, and it is indeed the god of death on the battlefield, but it is difficult for them to do the order and prohibition, and there are very few people who can still maintain kindness after experiencing the miserable life of the lower class people who have nothing like Ma Play. A person with such strong martial arts as Guan Yu is also rare in the world.

Rather, it was the men who lived through the war that Peng said abounded in the decades that followed.

Ma Yue recorded the opinions of each of them on a piece of paper, folded them and put them in his arms, put down the pen, he looked up and asked Peng Tuo: "Brother Peng, did you go to Luoyang and see the elite of the Northern Army?" ”

As soon as he talked about the Northern Army, Peng Tuo came to the spirit and said: "Of course I saw it, Liang Tingshi took me there specially and asked me to come back and talk to you about what I saw and heard in Luoyang and his party, although I only watched it from a distance for a while, it was really shocking!" There are thousands of people in the northern army, each of whom is tall and heroic, and their equipment makes people look really greedy. ”

Peng Tuo paused, as if recalling the heroic appearance of the Luoyang Northern Army, he smiled: "Damn, those grandsons are each equipped with two horses, all of them are mixed horses from Youzhou and Liangzhou, with double leather armor and iron armor. Each man carried at least three knives, two sabers and a dagger, and a shield and spear. Each of them is an elite soldier with money piled up. ”

Ma Yue smiled, as he expected, the Luoyang Northern Army was really not so incompetent, at least this equipment could ensure that the 5,000-foot cavalry could crush the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army.

Only such cutting-edge armed forces can be called the Luoyang Northern Army, the elite of the Han Dynasty.

The Eastern Han Empire has a vast territory, and there is also a huge number of soldiers, and it is very easy to pull up tens of thousands of troops in a state, but the difficult thing is the equipment of armor and horses, the armor rate of the Han army has not been high, according to Liangzhou, ordinary county soldiers only have cloth uniforms, and Wu Chang has a leather armor, and the tun chief still wears straw sandals, and only the leather boots are distributed at the first level of the army.

Not to mention weapons, things like the Five Refining Ring Knife may break if they collide with the bronze knife a few times, not to mention that the weapons issued by ordinary soldiers in some counties are bamboo guns.

The ordnance of the officers and soldiers of the counties of Liangzhou is even less powerful than that of the local armed forces of the Qiang tribe with their hair on the left.

Throughout history, we always feel that the Han Dynasty had a strong military, and during the Three Kingdoms period, wars were frequent, and the three kingdoms each relied on their strong military strength to confront each other.

In fact, where are there so many swords, guns, swords, halberds enough to arm so many soldiers, in ancient times, the army was called the unmasking rod, and the magic of uncovering the rod is in this unveiling the rod.

Cutting wood for knives, raising poles for flags!

Not everyone has a sword in the regular army, let alone the rebels. Without weapons, what can you fight with?

Even if there are enough people who are willing to follow you, there is no arsenal, the soldiers have no weapons and armor, and they are death squads and cannon fodder battalions when they go into battle, which is why the soldiers of Liu Bei, who were also princes in the Three Kingdoms era, have always been so thousands, and it is not easy to save tens of thousands of defeats, and then recruit thousands of soldiers. With Liu Bei's prestige, he wants to recruit tens of thousands of villagers and play. But his power has always been difficult to develop.

Because he has no stable base and cannot continuously expand his armaments, is it possible to drag out tens of thousands of empty-handed young men to fight with him?

As Ma Yue is a protégé of the assassin history, the soldiers under his command have such a high salary, and each of them is equipped with a ten-refining ring knife. What's more, now they have a cavalry team of 100 out of 300 people, which is no longer part of the configuration of ordinary soldiers.

Ma Yue plans to tell a few people what Liang Hu said to himself, and now this group of people in the military tent can be regarded as a small group headed by Ma Yue, and where Ma Yue will go in the future will be closely related to the vital interests of everyone, and they share honor and disgrace.

Just as he was about to speak, one person opened the military tent first and fell to the ground, and said to everyone: "See the military waiting, the assassin has an order, and the army waits to go to the city to discuss the affairs of the assassin's mansion as soon as possible!" ”

Ma Yue saw that this herald was indeed the guard in the Assassin's Mansion, so he smiled and said: "The strong man has worked hard all the way, do you know what Lord Assassin is looking for me?" ”

The man shook his head, he had seen Ma Yue a few times, and he had a good impression of this scar-faced young man, and then said with a smile: "Although I don't know what is going on, Lord Thorn Shi also recruited the chief of Hanyang County to discuss the matter, and the villain doesn't know about other things." ”

Ma Yue nodded, patted the man on the shoulder, went out and turned over the horse and galloped towards Longxian......
