On the New Year of the first year of Jian'an, Ma Wan spent time in the restored Cheshi Kingdom, where he was the general of Cheshi Han who was personally appointed by the Cheshi King, and married an orchid as a concubine.

The king made him a general, because he had made the new king. What's even more interesting is that before he met him, this king was just a small official in charge of household registration, just because of the conversation, he found that this little official was full of yearning for the Han Dynasty, and he was almost the official who knew the customs of the Han Dynasty the most in the entire Cheshi country...... Therefore, after Ma Play led the army to unify the two countries before and after the chariot division, he presented several crimes of the king after the chariot division, and confiscated them into the army, so he assisted this lucky guy as the king.

It is only a small country with no more than 20,000 people, and it is a big county in the Central Plains, and the small officials in charge of more than 10,000 household registrations are enough to be the king.

In Ma Wan's view, it doesn't matter how wise the king of the Western Regions is, the only thing that matters is loyalty to the Han.

But then, the letter received in April of the first year of Jian'an made Ma Play change his tone...... The requirements are not high, you must be loyal enough to the Liang Kingdom, especially to His Majesty the King of Liang. So, in the center of the city of Jiaohe, a small country of Cheshi near the desert, far away from the Central Plains, and close to the desert, a bronze statue of the Han general with a prancing horse and a horizontal sword was erected, and the general had a striking scar on his left eye.

In April of the same year, Ma Wan led his troops to the south, and the troops were in Shanshan.

When it comes to the grievances and grievances between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions, it is not clear for three days and three nights, just say that this Shanshan country was called Loulan in the past, and later Fu Xie's ancestor Fu Jiezi sneaked into the country to kill the king and set up a king on his own, and later changed its name to Shanshan. Shanshan State is not a small country that is easy to succumb to the Cheshi, the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than 100 years, they have annexed the Ruoqiang State, the Xiaowan State, and the Jingjue State, which is a relatively powerful one of the countries in the Western Regions today, with tens of thousands of state-owned people and more than 5,000 soldiers, and the strength is not weak. Not only that, but they have mastered the ability to independently control military armor, and the country is also good at raising horses, camels and other animals for driving. As it stands, it would be very unwise to seize control of the country by force.

However, Shanshan Kingdom is located in the easternmost part of the Western Regions, only 1,600 miles away from Yangguan, and occupies the main transportation route from the Western Regions to Xiliang...... No matter how strong the country's military strength is, Ma Play will include him in the territory of Liangguo.

No one in the whole Xiliang has a more peculiar feeling than playing with horses, a big Han Liangzhou people led the soldiers and horses to wander in the yellow sand of the Western Regions, conquering one country after another, and then, a letter from his hometown told him that his former brother is now the king, and the whole Liangzhou has become an independent fiefdom.

This feeling, no one can say, no one can understand.

He just wants to fly back to his hometown and see what Liangguo looks like now.

But no, shouldering the responsibility of pacifying the Western Regions, he raised his head to look east, and imagined the appearance of his hometown in countless yellow sands.

One night near Shanshanguo, the station full of yellow sand suddenly blew the Qiang flute, and this night the husband looked eastward.

To Shanshan Baili, Su Ze led hundreds of people to pretend to be business travelers, mixed into the hinterland of Shanshan Kingdom to find out the news, and at the same time spread the news that 2,000 Han generals attacked from the east, and Ma Yu led a large group of soldiers and horses to detour hundreds of miles to the west of Shanshan Kingdom. However, in the middle of the month, the proud King Shanshan ordered the general to reorganize his troops and horses, and put down a heavy defense line of thousands of people in the eastern part of the border, preparing to fight the 2,000 Han troops in the intelligence...... For the big Han, they have already figured out the bottom, after all, the bearing of the suzerainty is still there, since their soldiers and horses are here, they will swallow them without leaving any behind. No one will know that the Han army has ever been here...... Even if an oversight is discovered, quickly apologize, bow down, and the matter will pass.

So they're going to die.

However...... When the soldiers and horses of the royal capital were sent out to organize the defense line, the Han army that should have appeared in the east was expected to appear in the east but the soldiers came to the city from the west, and it was too late to recall the soldiers and horses, and the king of Shanshan had to open the city and surrender.

It's just a horse play, this Liangzhou general, which is different from the impression of the Han people in the Western Regions, closed the city gate again the moment the soldiers and horses entered the city, and ordered the defenders at the head of the city to shoot the king kneeling outside. The Han soldiers and the Cheshi people took control of the streets of the Shanshan royal capital, drove all the officials in the royal court out, asked a few questions, and re-established a king who treated the Han profoundly.

In one day, the old king was killed by thousands of arrows, and the new king jumped into the dragon gate to ascend to the throne, and the next thing was much simpler. The new king ordered the soldiers and horses in the border to surrender to the army of the Liang State, and the Han army executed all the soldiers and horses who were unwilling to surrender, and then the division of troops and officials that had achieved results in the Cheshi State.

Round after round of job transfers, more than half of the officers of Shanshanguo were Han sergeants brought out of Liangzhou, and more than half of the ministers were charioters and Han people, while the ministers and officers of Shanshanguo were filled into the western expeditionary army of Liangguo, and they would continue to move towards the next country after recuperating for more than a month.

There is nothing more rewarding than pacifying the Western Regions, in addition to the Yellow Sand Desert and countless Gobi deserts, and the harm brought to the army by the climate and environment, when it comes to the scale of the battle, the Western Regions is just a county-in-county battle, and such a city in the Central Plains will not be rewarded at all, even in the expectation of the princes. But in the Western Regions, it is different, and when Shanshan, a place that is only half the size of Hanyang, is already pacified into a country, and the areas in the two large counties and several townships in the Cheshi country are also called pacifying a country.

With these military exploits, they slowly encroached on the influence of expansion, until after the Wusun Kingdom was included in the territory, he Ma Monkey could go back and rise to become a marquis of ten thousand households!

At this point, the strength of the Liangguo Expeditionary Force, which has 3,000 people out of Hanyang and 5,000 people out of Yumen, has exceeded 10,000 and is ready to start the next heroic journey.

……

Jian'an for three years, the end of peace, Ronglu two countries. Four years to collect donations to the three kingdoms of Du, Zihe, and West Night.

The Han army, which was fighting more and more in the Western Regions, gradually became attached to the small countries, and finally attracted the attention of large countries such as Ruoqiuzi, Wusun, Shule, and Yanqi...... The truly difficult war in the Western Regions began in the fifth year of Jian'an.

The Western Regions came to an end for the time being, and in the following years, there were constant internal disputes, and the problems between the Han and the Huns, and the problems between the people of Bingzhou and Liangzhou, did not hurt the root cause of a few small fights. What really hurt the muscles and bones was the Xianbei people's two southward trips, but under the joint expulsion of Dong Zhuo, Bai Bo, Yang Feng and others, it was difficult for the Xianbei people to attack the hinterland of Bingzhou for a while, so they had to give up again and again.

The situation in the world is even more chaotic, Tao Qian of Xuzhou died of illness, Xuzhou became a piece of fragrant dumplings that everyone wants to take a mouthful of, Gongsun Zhan, who was recuperating in Jizhou, sent troops and horses into Qingzhou, and Zhang Liao, who was sent by Cao Cao to receive Qingzhou, broke out a series of battles. Sun Jian and Liu Bei were still fighting against Jingzhou, and several counties changed their banners back and forth, but the two princes were happy about it. Although the attack was won and lost, it was actually Liu Bei who won. After all, Sun Jian failed to defeat Liu Bei, and in a sense, he had already lost. But as the saying goes, the east is not bright and the west is bright, with the help of Zhou Yu, Yan Baihu and others, Sun Ce, known as the little overlord of Jiangdong, led his troops into the chaotic Xuzhou, uprooted four Buddha cities in January, and forced the heroic and powerful Zhenrong and 100,000 believers to flee.

The five-year war in Jian'an was staged one after another on the stage of the east of the world.

It is worth mentioning that because of Ma Yue's butterfly effect, as long as the subordinates of each prince have the ability to organize armor workshops and organize craftsmen, they have a great interest in weapons and armor and cavalry without exception. Because of the premature appearance of the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups, the Han Dynasty entered the initial embryonic period of armored riding during the Jian'an period.

Belonging to the imperial court, the outstanding Lang officials cultivated by ether science and the elite of the Cao family who served as cavalry pawns in the Yanzhou army, the tiger and leopard cavalry, are among the representatives.

Liu Bei did not have the ability to form a large-scale cavalry, and his sergeants focused on the heavily armored infantry soldiers, thus training an invincible heavy armored infantry army, called the Zhendong Sword Soldier. The performance of this simple-name Han army on the battlefield was never as good as their name, and Sun Jian was most impressed by this kind of thing.

After all, a few years ago, the heavy cavalry called Liangzhou was born, piercing every prince with a strong heart like a sharp knife, and every midnight dream recalled that the ghostly army, the cavalry whose iron hooves could make the city walls tremble, always made them feel uneasy in the depths of their souls.

Although that army has disappeared from everyone's eyes for a long, long time with Ma Yue's crown, no one has ever forgotten the name of that army and the fierce demon armor.

When the princes of all walks of life were busy guarding their territory or competing for dominance, Ma Yue taught his son horseback archery riding and learning martial arts all day long in the northwest comfort nest he created. The entire Liang Kingdom is blocked from the imperial court because of the Tongguan Pass with tens of thousands of garrisons, and the information on both sides is not communicated, not to mention ordinary people, even business travelers are prohibited from passing. Therefore, the war in the east could not affect the peaceful and tranquil Liang country at all.

After more than ten years, Liangzhou is no longer the poor and weak Liangzhou under the painstaking management, and after several years of expanding the army again and again, the entire Liangguo has more than 60,000 Liangwang armored troops. That's right, the armor army has changed its name since Ma Yue became the king, called the Liang King armor army, and over the years, with the increasing forging technology of the ironsmiths, the armor and ordnance of the armor army have been renovated several times, and each time their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

It seems that the years have worn away Ma Yue's ambitions, and the princes' favorite city siege site does not seem to be interested in him at all, and the failure of his two attempts to enter the customs seems to have extinguished his ambition to control the world...... While the other princes were still worried that their soldiers and horses could not be dispatched, Ma Yue was worried about where the civil and military talents who graduated from the school in Liangguo this year should be arranged.

The state school and county school system built in the early years now let the people of Liangzhou fully experience the sweetness, just the speed of more than 1,000 people leaving the local academy every year, knowing the five soldiers, knowing astronomy, and understanding geography is enough to make others red-eyed, but Ma Yue can only send more state students who have nowhere to be placed to the Western Regions to let them follow Ma to play with the long experience.

In the ninth year of Jian'an, he led the army to pacify the 27 countries of the Western Regions, and the partial general Ma played to spread the message, and 30,000 Western Regions coalition troops garrisoned Dunhuang, and led 500 guards to Longdu to meet the king.

Transferred to the Western Regions for 9,000 miles, lasted 11 years, and the horse play is back!
