With the captives and cattle, he hurried back to Chang'an, and even the captured cattle were lost halfway, Wang Hou could be regarded as rushing back to Chang'an, and then he was still a step too late.

The second snow of this winter also fell, but it was not flat on the huge Bashang Nanyuan, and one after another undulating hills stood out, some high, and the arm armor of the fallen Qiang Liang army soldiers, or the shoulders and heads of war horses.

Four days ago, Xiahou Yuan had already started a decisive battle here with the cavalry corps that Ma Chao hurriedly came from Xiliang, and defeated Ma Chao.

It's hard to say it's hard to fight! It's simple to say, there is no shortage of seemingly weak sides in history, both in terms of equipment training and numbers, they are far inferior to the other party, but they won the battle inexplicably, and this time it was like this.

With 10,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, Xiahou Yuan even defeated Ma Chao's Liangzhou iron cavalry rampant in Xiliang with great ease, beheading more than 1,600 cavalry on the spot.

However, in the whole war, the 10,000-strong army did not play as strong as a dry old man in his fifties, because this old man's name was Ma Teng, the general of the former Ma Jiajun!

"Meet Daxingtai!"

Facing Wang Hou, who hurriedly rode back from the cavalry, his face was frozen, Xiahou's beard was full of red light, and his head was steaming to greet him, and he hugged his fists happily.

Don't allow him to be dissatisfied with the red face, dominate the battle, Xiahou Yuan is really full of face! On the surface, with the foot attack horse, 10,000 to 20,000, but also completely defeated Ma Chao, this military feat, compared to the year Duan Cheng did not let much, inside, Ma Chao commanded more than 5,000 Xiliang cavalry with Ma Teng's persuasion to surrender and put down their weapons, worthy of the veteran oil, Xiahou Yuan did not blush and did not beat their hearts to take them under his command.

Don't underestimate the five thousand cavalry, after the defeat of Ma Chao Liangzhou, he first defected to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and then rebelled and defected to Liu Bei in Sichuan.

At that time, the impact of unfilial piety was particularly bad, but Ma Chao ignored his father, killed the whole clan, and repeatedly rebelled against this master, and the wolf cub who couldn't be raised, Liu Bei still waved his army for hundreds of miles, for what? It is because Ma Chao still has about 8,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry in his hands, and for Shuzhong, which lacks cavalry, this is simply a force in the snow.

If it is used well on the battlefield, the role of 5,000 cavalry is even comparable to tens of thousands of infantry!

And these cavalry are not only as simple as combat speed and strength, but also extremely important in strategy!

In the later period of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, why was it six out of Qishan, and he also took such a fancy to Jiang Wei, who was born as a general, he did not hesitate to accept him as an apprentice, and the reason why he was designated as the heir is not only that Jiang Wei is indeed talented, but more importantly, his Qiangliang background!

The Northern Expedition strategy of the entire Shu Han Dynasty actually revolves around a strategic point, that is, to win over the million Qiang people, first occupy the Qiang Liang land, collect the Qiang people who are fierce and good at war, and train them into a cavalry group.

Now these should have become the relationship between Shu Han and the Qiang people in Liangzhou, more than 5,000 capable generals who originally belonged to Ma Chao Group all belonged to Xiahou Yuan, and now Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Yin Feng and other generals, and even Ma Chao's brother Ma Dai led the cavalry to line up behind him, and the strength expanded by half of the original, and it was strange that Xiahou Yuan's unhappy old face was red.

"The general defeated the Xiliang horse thieves with his own lone army, and won a lot, which was a harm to the Northwest Ping, Wang congratulated General Xiahou!"

It's a good thing to say, but while saying it, Wang Hou's mustache is trembling with him, and now he will lose a lot, Xiahou Yuan has no task to pacify Liangzhou, he has it! These backbones of the recovery of Liangzhou are in a hurry, and they all let this goods be swept away, and it's strange that he doesn't feel pain!

"Haha, Xiahou was able to build this feat, thanks to the two tips left by Daxingtai! In the season of reporting to the prime minister, Ben will definitely ask for credit for Daxingtai! ”

Good guy, every sentence pierces the heart, Lao Tie! Xiahou Yuan's words entered the sore spot in Wang Hou's heart again, if he didn't hand over Ma Teng and the Tiger Squat Cannon to him! Wang Hou was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to beat Ma Chao, but he handed it over to him, he lost both his people and money, and in the end he lost money and made money, and now he had to knock out his front teeth and swallow his stomach, nodding with a smile on his face.

Thank you ......, thank you General Miaocai! "Peerless Tang Gate fo

…………

Wearing the stars and wearing the moon for a month, the rugged and difficult loess slopes in the cold weather walked back and forth, and the big head was divided by Xiahou Yuan, but fortunately, Wang Hou's stomach was hard, and Guanzhong once again regained his calm, even if Ma Chao did not die this time, his power in Liangzhou was basically decayed, and next year Wang Hou had another year to farm, and no one would threaten his development for the time being.

Moreover, although it is not much to earn, it is better to mix back more than 60,000 cattle, next year's spring ploughing livestock is enough, and the loess high slope hit hard last season, withholding the winter grain of more than 20 Qiang tribes, and after some time of correction, Wang Hou can make a fuss about the grain and stir up the internal situation of 300,000 Dongqiang.

What's more! Once he opens up the loess high slope and spreads his strength to the ancient Yulin Pass, his power will be connected with the Naturalization City, and then the materials from Liaodong can be continuously imported into Guanzhong through the grassland, which is a qualitative change!

So although he was depressed, he was invited by Xiahou Yuan to go to the barracks to "visit" for a while, and then four hundred tiger squatting cannons, he just asked the artillery to come back, and all the cannons were "damaged in battle", but on the way back, Wang Hou's mood was still happy.

But when I got home, another uninvited guest came to the door.

"Old decay, sin deserves death!"

In the courtyard of Sanqingguan, this Wang Hou had just dismounted, and from the attic of the cloister, a bad old man pulled a few descendants out of the hallway, and knelt down on the ground with a strong Kansai accent.

Ma Teng didn't expect that Xiahou Yuan would look so ugly, and the Ma family army he persuaded to surrender was all swept into his own camp by this beard, and not a single team of cavalry was left for Wang Hou.

Although this old man is not a hero in troubled times, he still has vision! He knew that the reason why his clan could survive was not how merciful Cao Cao was, but that Wang Hou needed his influence to pacify Liangzhou and recruit rebellion, this time Ma Chao was defeated, his value had dropped by more than half, and then offended Wang Hou, the official who was now in charge, and even Wang Hou didn't have to kill him, and sent his Ma family back to Yecheng with more than 300 numbers, Cao Cao was happy to use the heads of their old friends of the same era to show his authority.

So most of Ma Teng's sad urging is also true.

To tell the truth, this old man is also quite pitiful, the first half of his life was poor, he was able to become a Qiang Liang warlord, at first it was not his own volition, but was forced to be the leader of the rebellious Qiang Beigong Boyu, the second half of his life wanted to have a peaceful life, and let himself be unfilial to make such a fuss, the old man who was almost sixty years old man was beheaded by Cao Cao in Yecheng with the whole clan of two or three hundred, looking at Ma Teng's sad confession and begging for mercy, Wang Hou's heart was also sour, and he had no choice but to step forward and pull the old man.

"What a sin does Ma Hon! This time, Chang'an was preserved, thanks to the work of Ma Weng! ”

"In a few days, this seat wants to send the children of Guanzhong, and gradually Guanzhong Army, so that Lang Ma Tie Ma Xiu has both civil and military skills, and his courage is extraordinary, and he will be a captain in our army, I don't know if Ma Weng can cut his love?"

The first half of the sentence is nonsense, the second half of the sentence is important! Your son and I are still an officer, and there is still a place where you need your Ma family, don't worry about Lao Tzu crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, eating enough to scold the cook.

Sure enough, Ma Teng's heart when he heard this suddenly let go.

However, if you want to say how important this children's education is, because there is an unfilial son in the family, the old guy Ma Teng has to bow and bend over like a grandson when he is fifty or sixty years old, so educating the next generation is the most important thing! You can't raise it like those children who are messing around with bears in later generations!

In a show of loyal gratitude, this old guy was quite tall and tall behind him, and he was also a strong man with a red face and a big beard, a bit of a beautiful beard, but with some honest expressions of Northwest people.

"Daxingtai, Ma is cheeky, and he also wants to find a position for Pang Sheng, although Pang Sheng followed the unfilial rebel, but he is also one of the few generals in Xiliang, good at cavalry, if the general is generous, give a lieutenant the position of cavalry general, and will definitely be able to help the general!"

A bearded man with the surname Pang? Seeing the red-faced man follow the honest greeting, Wang Hou always felt a little familiar!
