Shamoko was ashamed when he heard this, bowed his head and sighed: "In the past, I only cared about greedy money and rarely trained soldiers. ”

When Ma Liang heard this, he also reassured: "King Xiao doesn't have to be like this, it will take time before the big war." At this time, we will train them to be reliable soldiers. ”

After a pause, Ma Liang said to Shamoke again: "King Xiao, how many centaurs are here?" Under King Xiao, are there only these people? There should always be a few elite soldiers, right? ”

Shamoke hurriedly said: "There are more than 20,000 soldiers here, and I usually have a team of more than 1,000 men, which is in charge of my eldest son, Xiao Shun. ”

"Please also ask King Xiao to invite Xiao Xiaowang to lead the troops and line up on one side." Ma Liang exhaled in his heart, as long as there is a foundation, even if there are only a thousand elite soldiers, the skeleton can be erected.

"Okay." Shamoke agreed, and immediately ordered someone to summon his eldest son, Xiao Shun. Soon after, Xiao Shun led a thousand elite soldiers under his command.

Xiao Shun and Shamoke are different, Shamoke looks like a Han person, but Xiao Shun is full of beard, huge tiger eyes, and a strong body.

The image of a barbarian.

The more than 1,000 soldiers behind him are indeed elite soldiers. The men were covered with leather armor, spears, bows, and neatly arrayed, and the appearance of the army was neat.

"Father." Xiao Shun looked vicious, but he was very decent, and after turning over and dismounting, he came to the point of the general's platform and bowed to Shamoke.

Shamoke summoned Xiao Shun to the general's platform, and then Longzhong introduced: "This is Ma Liang, Ma Jichang." It is General Yang Wu, the general of Hanzhong Taishouguan. If you want to serve the Guan family for your father, Ma Changshi's words are your father's words, and you just listen to him. ”

"No." Xiao Shun promised, and then bowed down to Ma Liang, who personally helped Xiao Shun up. Immediately, Ma Liang said to the Xiao father and son: "The soldiers are not many, but fine. In the Han system, five people set up the army chief, the second army set up the chief, the fifth set up the Dubo, and the ten Dubo set up the military waiter. He also asked Xiao Xiaowang to take elite soldiers as officers, and from among the 20,000 warriors, 20 military candidates were selected and more than 10,000 people were selected. Craft leather armor, tents, vehicles, spears, bows and arrows, and gather money and food. ”

"No." Xiao Shun made a promise. Then, Xiao Shun went down to delete the soldiers according to Ma Liang's order. In the afternoon, the soldiers were cut out.

Ma Liang invited Shamoke to compile the eliminated soldiers separately. Although this part of the soldiers cannot go to the frontal battlefield, they can still cut off the grain route in the deep mountains.

After that, Ma Liang said to Shamoke: "If the logistics are heavy, please ask King Xiao." Tomorrow, together with Xiao Xiaowang, I will choose a place to camp in the nearby valley, and I will only train soldiers and soldiers, and ask nothing else. ”

"Good. Everything is up to Ma Changshi's orders. Shamoko responded. Then Shamoko left the place, while there was still time.

Ma Liang asked dozens of elite soldiers of the Guan family to assist Xiao Shun in simple exercises. Early the next morning, Shamoke dispatched a lot of grain baggage, and Ma Liang led Xiao Shun, Zhang Miao and others, as well as the more than 10,000 elite soldiers he had just obtained, to camp in the nearby valley and train the troops day and night.

Ma Liang is not a general, but he is familiar with the art of war, and has been with Guan Ping for a long time, and he has often been in contact with Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, Mi Wei and others, and his training is quite powerful.

And Ma Liang is also extremely good at arranging troops.

This barbarian elite army of more than 10,000 people, under the training of Ma Liang, is changing with each passing day, and it is getting stronger and stronger day by day.

Soon a month passed.

within the valley. The flag is displayed, and there are flags with the word "Xiao" everywhere. The layout of the barracks is excellent, layered and extremely defensive.

The troops of the 10 waiting forces are being trained in the school grounds. The soldiers had put on their leather armor, picked up their spears, lined up in order, sweating like rain, and practiced extremely diligently.

However, although Shamoke neglected to train his subordinates, Wuxi Barbarian had a strong body, a strong physique, and particularly outstanding foot strength.

With physical strength and physique, it is much easier to train.

In addition, Shamoko also spent blood and money, and countless money and food were invested in the army as if they did not need money, which led to the enthusiasm of the soldiers for training.

In January, it's been a similar one.

On the platform of the generals in the school field, under the banner of the word "Xiao", the big man Xiao Shun stood by the sword, watching the training of the soldiers, and couldn't help but admire.

Although he had also read the book of war, he also tried to train an elite army.

But the knowledge seen in the book is completely different from the knowledge learned from Ma Liang. Xiao Shun never dreamed that the chaotic rabble would look like it in just one month.

"Ma Changshi is really a god. My father is also right, the future of the world is the Han family. The Wuxi clan is afraid that it will die out sooner or later, so it is better to take this opportunity to integrate into the Han family. This time, he sent troops, but he had to fight hard to kill the enemy, so that he could show his face in front of the lord and his son. ”

A sense of pride rose in Xiao Shun's chest, and then he handed over the training to his deputy, got off the platform, and went to the tent where Ma Liang was.

At this moment, the training is on the right track, and he doesn't need to keep an eye on it all the time.

Entering the tent, Xiao saw Ma Liang reading on his seat by the way. When Ma Liang first came, he was embarrassed, but after a month, his skin was white, his flesh grew back, and his grace and bearing were restored.

The training is on the right track, and Ma Liang doesn't need to keep an eye on it. From time to time, take bamboo slips to watch, simply Shamoke is a vassal and elegant barbarian king, there are many books in the house, Ma Liang is not afraid of no books to read.

And Ma Liang is also responsible for teaching Xiao Shun some military techniques every day, such as arranging troops, selecting terrain to go to the village, etc., and so on.

"Sir. I have come to ask for advice on the art of war. Xiao Shun entered the tent, holding the gift of a disciple, respectful and polite.

When Ma Liang heard this, he put down the bamboo slip and asked Xiao Shun to come and sit, and the two began to discuss the art of war, mainly Xiao Shun asked and Ma Liang answered. Ma Liang treated him with all his heart.

First, since Shamoko agreed to send troops, the two families are one family.

Second, Ma Liang felt that Xiao Shun was quite promising. In the future, if he occupies several counties in Jingnan, he can also make Xiao Shun a county general and guard it.

Or you can also let Xiao Shun go to Hanzhong and follow Guan Ping to crusade against Yizhou.

Good generals.

Not only can it be discovered, but it can also be cultivated. Ma Liang thinks that Xiao Shun's seedling is very good.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the door, and then a soldier walked in from outside, and reported: "Report the history of the horse, the king has summoned." ”

"Do you know what?" Ma Liang, Xiao Shun glanced at each other, and Ma Liang asked.

"I don't know." The soldier shook his head and said.

"Xiao Xiaowang is good at training soldiers and horses, and I will go to Shacheng to see King Xiao." Ma Liang said to Xiao Shun.

"Sir, please." Xiao Shun said. Immediately, Ma Liang took a few entourage, turned over and got on the horse, there were no horseshoes and stirrups in Jingnan area, Xiao Shun regarded himself as a disciple of Ma Liang, personally helped Ma Liang to get on the horse, and handed Ma Liang a horse whip. Ma Liangyang spurred his horse, led his entourage out of the valley, walked on the mountain path, and after an hour, arrived at Shacheng.

The city of sand is still calm.

At present, the entire Wuxi barbarian tribes do not know that Shamoke has defected to Guan Yu, and Ma Liang's help in training troops is also an extremely confidential matter.

After Ma Liang entered the city of Sha, he went straight to the palace of the king of Shamoke. Shamoke personally went out to greet him, took Ma Liang's hand to the lobby and sat down, and ordered the maidservant to bring water and snacks.

"King Xiao urgently summoned me here, but something big happened?" After Ma Liang sat down, he took a sip of water, then looked up and asked.

"Sir, that's sharp." Shamoke praised first, and then said with a smile: "There are two news. Sun Quan broke through Nanjun, Jiangxia Zhucheng, and more than ten cities were connected. Zhao Yun went north, Zhuge Liang, Li Zheng was trapped in Chengyang County, Wang Wei and others led the naval army to return to Anlu, Guan Jingzhou (Guan Yu), General Zhang led troops to confront Zhou Yu and Han Dang. The second is that Sun Quan ordered Lu Su to go to the mouth of the Youjiang River, mobilized taxes from the four counties, and used them as military food, and ordered Gu Yong to guard Changsha County and rectify the rule of Changsha officials, and ordered He Qi to command Changsha soldiers and horses. ”

Ma Liang was taken aback when he heard this, and frowned. This situation has eroded to such an extent, which is really unexpected by Ma Liang.

But no matter how erosive the situation is, there is still life.

At least Zhuge Liang and Li Zheng kept Chengyang, not only planting a nail in the territory of Jiangdong, but also keeping grain and grass.

As for the actions of Lu Su, Gu Yong, He Qi and others, they were not unexpected by Ma Liang. Ma Liang arched his hand and said: "Lu Su mobilized the taxes of the four counties and used them as military food, which proves that Sun Quan's grain and grass are extremely difficult. Transferring grain from Jiangdong to come here, the grain route is too long. And Changsha is close to Jiangxia, which can be the trend of cornering. Sun Quan ordered Gu Yong to look at Changsha, and ordered the general He Qi to command the soldiers and horses, which was also a good chess move. ”

"We're just going to wait and see." Finally, Ma Liang summed it up.

"Okay." Shamoko nodded in agreement. In fact, he is a little hairy, this Jiangdong person is really fierce, this situation has become like this.

But when he saw Ma Liang so calmly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I was amazed in my heart, although I was young, but I was a great general. It is worthy of the long history under the command of Guan Yangwu. I heard that General Yang Wu, Guan Ping, is not as old as a weak crown, and he is only eighteen or nineteen years old this year.

Guan Ping and Ma Liang are really a pair of young heroes.

And this is actually one of the reasons why Shamoke took refuge in Guan Yu, General Yang Wu Guan Ping, Jingzhou is more of the legend of Guan Ping, this person is a virtuous corporal, benevolent and intelligent, brave and good at fighting, and is a master of the moment.

And Shamoke found Ma Liang to inform him of the news. However, since Ma Liang is here, he also needs to contact his feelings, and Shamoke is planning to make friends with Ma Liang.

Then I heard someone walk in from outside, and this person reported: "Report to the king, Changsha Taishou Gu Yong sent the master book to come." ”

Shamoke was a little surprised and glanced at Ma Liang. Ma Yan said categorically: "This must be Gu Yong's lobbyist, and it is very likely that he has brought a lot of gold and silver to appease King Xiao." No matter how much gold and silver there is, King Xiao will accept it. If you can, you can also open your mouth and get more money. ”
