Mayi City was attacked by different forces one after another, Hu people, rebels, horse thieves, a total of three forces.

If Ma Chao was not there, the ending of Ma Yi City could be imagined, and the county commander's family would have been imprisoned for questioning.

Therefore, the people in the city especially supported Ma Chao and worshiped him as the master.

"I didn't expect that the situation in the border city was so tragic."

Ma Chao climbed the city wall and looked at the distant land, and his eyes were full of barren land, and for the Hu people living in that place, the prosperity of the Han people's sphere of influence has always been the target of their admiration.

"Zhang Liao, if I say that I hope to establish a commercial city here in the future, and communicate with Hu people abroad for mutual benefit, how about it?"

"Young master, what do you mean, opening a fang market?"

The thinking of the Han Dynasty was imprisoned in this era, Zhang Liao didn't know what a commercial city meant, but he could also grasp the meaning of Ma Chao's words.

"That's right."

Ma Chao turned his head and looked at Zhang Liao seriously: "Zhang Liao, I would like to make a grand wish, and in my life, I will make the greatest efforts for the harmony and prosperity of Han and Hu." ”

"Would you like to follow me?"

I didn't expect the ambition of an 8-year-old child to be so ambitious, since the Western Han Dynasty, the border has been fighting for hundreds of years, the blood feud is as deep as the sea, the Han and Hu are harmonious, it is simple to say, how easy is it to say?

Zhang Liao muttered to himself: "Ambitions, grand wishes, difficult and dangerous but great wishes, can be called grand wishes." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao finally made up his mind, half-knelt on the ground, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Young master, I, Zhang Liao, am willing to follow you, and I am willing to follow your great ambition!" ”

[System prompt: "Lifespan Mission: Zhang Liao's ambition has reached the latest progress, Zhang Liao's loyalty has broken through one after another, rising to 90, and the host's lifespan has been increased by 15 years."] ”】

"Okay, okay, get up!"

Ma Chao pressed the joy in his heart and hurriedly helped Zhang Liao up: "I am 8 years old this year, and there is still a long way to go, I hope we will work side by side and fight for your and my ideals!" ”

Back in the mansion, Ma Chao couldn't wait to check his character panel:

Name: Ma Chao (8 years old, +5 years old, soul crossing, possession)

Title: Not obtained

Force: 17

Commander-in-Chief: 10

Strategy: 5

Interior:1

Talent: Peep (Observe the weak points of the enemy faction, increase the success rate of surprise attacks)

Stunt: Not obtained

Equipment: Not obtained

Bafu: Nobody

Previously consumed 10 years of life to summon Sima Cuo, this time he got Zhang Liao Toucheng, obtained 15 years of life, one advance and one retreat, the life span increased by a total of 5 years, the historical Ma Chao lived 47 years old, and now he is 8 years old, with a total of 44 years of life left.

"44 years..."

Ma Chao plans to consume 20 years of life and randomly recruit 1 S-class historical figure, because he urgently needs the assistance of a Wenchen, and so can a strategist.

Although the threat of Mayi City has been lifted, there are many lucky elements, and if you can have a resourceful person to assist you, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

But he was afraid that another general would be recruited, which made him quite distressed, after all, it involved how long he could live.

Lives matter!

During this period of time, the talent of repairing and training sergeants, Sima Cuo's talent in training soldiers gradually showed, although it only advanced 10% of the progress of the Great Qin Ruishi, it should not be underestimated.

Under Sima Cuo's training, no matter the volunteers, guards, rebels, or horse thieves, all of them have undergone a lot of changes.

Become cohesive, united, courageous, no longer afraid to face the enemy.

And the leader of the horse thieves has committed suicide in prison, which makes Ma Chao quite regretful, and originally wanted to use him.

Now, the army under his command has been reduced to an elite of 3,000 people, all of which are cavalry units.

The cavalry at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty could not do the horse fighting of later generations, because the bilateral stirrup had not yet been invented.

Since he has traveled to this troubled world, he is bound to dominate the world with the momentum of thunder.

Therefore, Ma Chao planned to use Mayi City as his base in Bingzhou, develop Fang City, build fortresses, and build a commercial center, which is a later story.

Now, in order to achieve a series of goals, the top priority is to improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under his control.

Double-sided stirrups, matching saddles, are his most recent targets.

"Captain of the Guard."

"The subordinates are here."

Ma Chao took out a picture, on which were drawn a sketch of bilateral stirrups and matching saddles, supplemented by text descriptions.

"The people of Bingzhou are fierce, plus Mayi City is one of the border cities of Yanmen County, the use of iron, the consumption rate is extremely high, and there are naturally many excellent blacksmiths, you go to the city to find some famous blacksmiths, and tell them to build the horse harness on the sketch, I have a heavy reward!"

"Whoa."

During this time, Zhang Liao, Sima Cuo, and Pang De each led a cavalry team to fight the autumn wind everywhere, and within a radius of 100 miles from Mayi City, the bandits were cleared, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

However, the biggest threat to Mayi City is still the Hu people in the north, and the Hu people are going south, attacking and retreating, and they are extremely mobile.

If the army of agricultural civilization wants to pursue the nomads, it will either use light cavalry to attack thousands of miles like Huo Quai, and seal the wolf Juxu; Either they will take it step by step, advance layer by layer, and crush it with absolute overwhelming strength.

Ma Chao's choice is inclined to the second option, he wants to defeat the enemy with dignity, completely crush the enemy's self-confidence, integrate them into the Han people, live forever, and will not rebel.

One day, when someone came from the Assassin Mansion in Bingzhou, Ma Chao led everyone to greet the messenger, and the messenger was none other than Li Ru.

This man was a doctor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was well-read and educated in his students, and Jia Yi of the Western Han Dynasty held this position when he was 20 years old.

But Li Ru's reputation in history is not good, after all, he personally killed Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong who was deposed as the young emperor, and after being defeated by Cao Cao, his subsequent whereabouts are unknown, either he died in the chaos of the army, or he lived in seclusion.

At this time, Li Ru was wearing a Confucian robe, stroking a mustache on his chin, his eyes were shining, and he looked extremely shrewd and cunning from a distance.

"Hahahaha, the messenger is coming from afar, Ma Chao should sweep the couch to greet him!"

Don't say anything else when you meet, Ma Chao will take a slap of the ass first.

Li Ru was very useful, and replied: "What Meng Qi did in Mayi City during this period has already been introduced to Jinyang (and the state office), and the assassin Shi greatly praised it, Meng Qi is really a masterpiece in the world!" ”

"Where, where, it's still my subordinates who are amazing!"

Li Ru smiled and said: "Meng Qi is humble, young hero, the future is limitless~"

As he spoke, he kept sweeping his eyes over the three generals behind Ma Chao, and there was a fresh face that he had never seen in the Bingzhou Assassin Mansion.

Li Ru narrowed his eyes, looked Zhang Liao up and down, and asked, "This, it must be Zhang Liao of Megatron Mayi City?" ”

Hearing that he was named, Zhang Liao took a step forward and bowed: "In Xia Zhang Liao, the word is far away, a native of Mayi, and I have seen Dr. Li." ”

"Well said, well said."

Li Ru was making a small calculation in his heart, he touched his mustache, and said: "You are now a county official in Yanmen County, the battle of Mayi City, unstoppable, shocking Xiaoxiao, I don't know... Are you willing to go to Jinyang to work? ”

Then, another sentence was added: "I can protect you for the soldiers!" ”

I rub!

Ma Chao, who was originally standing on the side and the old god was there, was taken aback when he heard that Li Ru wanted to promote Zhang Liao to be a soldier.

What is Bing Cao engaged in?

The subordinate officials of the state pastor and the assassin are in charge of the military affairs of a state!

Bing Cao is engaged in and discusses Cao Cao, Gong Cao is engaged, Shu Cao is engaged, and classics are engaged in the jurisdiction of sacrificial wine, and if they are engaged in sacrificial wine, they are in the middle of governance, don't drive, and finally go to the state pastor or assassin history.

It can be said that Li Ru's words can make Zhang Liao, who is only 15 years old this year, rise to prominence and become the core leadership of Bingzhou!

I rub, rub, rub!

Fortunately, Lao Tzu was quick and took the lead in using a "grand wish" to fool Zhang Liao into his account.

Niang Xipi, how dare you dig the foot of the wall in front of Lao Tzu?

Li Ru, count yourself ruthless!

Sure enough, when Zhang Liao heard this, he was not moved, his heart had already followed the cake drawn by Ma Chao and flew far away~0

I saw Zhang Liao say respectfully: "Back to Lord Li, Liao is the young master's personal general, and he can't easily leave the young master's side, Lord Li's good intentions, Liao is deeply honored, but I can only be very sorry!" ”

Li Ru, who was holding Zhizhu, was so excited by Zhang Liao's words that he almost pulled off his mustache.

He originally thought that no matter who could directly become a soldier Cao Cao, he would not be happy to bloom and bow down?

Good guy, Zhang Liao, dare to refuse my kindness!

"Hahahaha, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it after the banquet!"

Ma Chao jumped out with a pinch, hurriedly played a round, and ordered someone to take Li Ru to the banquet.
