"General Ma rest assured, except for military facilities and bases, everything here is open, you can visit at will, what you want to learn, what you want to ask you can learn and ask, we are very welcome other states and counties love peace, willing to work for the people for the well-being of the world, do practical things people to come to study and visit." Xi Zhicai replied enthusiastically.

This time Ma Teng is even more satisfied.

Look at the people's Weihai thickness, it is atmospheric enough, refreshing, and more pleasant than their northwest men.

Xi Zhicai led Ma Teng and others into the mansion, came to the hall where the guests were entertained, killed chickens and sheep, and entertained Ma Teng with good wine and food.

After a warm reception, Ma Teng and his party were very useful, and deeply felt Xu Ding's attitude towards them.

"Old drama, I heard that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, these shameless people are harassing and attacking you, how are you doing? Do you want my old horse to help? After getting acquainted, Ma Teng asked about the battle ahead.

Xi Zhicai said: "General Ma, don't worry, although the enemy is attacking from three directions, we have our own way to deal with it, and soon they will be defeated and retreat." ”

"Haha, that's fine, the old drama doesn't have to be polite to me, if you can use my old horse, I won't frown, I'll help you immediately." Ma Teng finished speaking, and then drained the wine in the glass.

"This is easy to say, this is easy to say." Xi Zhicai doesn't take it seriously, Ma Teng is Ma Yunlu's father, and he is a tyrant in Xiliang, and Qingzhou is short of people and will not let the sick Ma Teng help them fight.

"Report! My lord, Taishan County is in an emergency. Suddenly, a messenger came to the front of the hall and made a quick report.

Xi Zhicai frowned slightly, beckoned in, and said, "Come in!" ”

"Whoa!" The person who reported the news came in, looked left and right, and then quickly came to Xi Zhicai's eyes, hesitated, and didn't dare to speak.

Xi Zhicai glanced at Ma Teng and the others: "What's the matter, tell it directly, there is no need to hide it." ”

Only then did the person report softly: "My lord, Taishan County is in an emergency, the south was raided by Cao Cao's army and horses, and all the counties south of Mengshan were lost. ”

"What? The southern part of Mount Tai was lost. Xi Zhicai was a little surprised, but quickly recovered his expression and asked softly:

"How did Cao Cao's army appear in Mount Tai, and whether there was anyone to deal with them?"

Someone reported: "My lord, Cao Cao's cavalry made a detour from Xuzhou, and the Cao army received by the Yang family in Nancheng, which allowed the Cao army to take Nancheng without a single soldier, and other counties also rebelled and surrendered to the enemy one after another because of the Yang family's maneuvering. ”

Xi Zhicai waved his hand and sent the people away, then closed his eyes, and his mind flashed a large map of Mount Tai and Langya County, as well as Beihai Kingdom.

At the same time, the aftermath of the loss of the south is being estimated.

and how you can deal with the unexpected situation.

In the original plan, in fact, there was a calculation, in case Wang Xiu and others could not stop the advance of Yuan Shu's army, then the original soldiers of Qingzhou would have two troops to the south to support.

The first section took the waterway from Dongrae to support Donghae-gun.

One set off from Beihai Kingdom, passed through Langya County, and then arrived at Zengguo or Lanling City and other places, forming a corner with Tan County.

And all this is under the condition of ensuring the stability of Mount Tai, so that there is a rear.

Now that the southern part of Tarzan is lost, this is a big problem.

If Cao Jun responded to Yuan's army, cut off the road to the south, and attacked Langya County, then Tao Qian would be even more passive.

It greatly affected the battle of Xuzhou.

Although Xuzhou is the third battlefield and is not under the control of its own side, it is also within the scope of its own sphere of influence.

"Ugh! What's wrong with you, do you have any official business to deal with? Or are you in some trouble? "Lao Ma is also a warlord in the northwest, although he is half drunk, but his old and spicy eyes are also quite powerful.

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "Lao Ma is fine, small problems, easy to deal with." ”

Ma Teng said: "It's a small problem, you just call me Lao Ma, even the two generals must have been wiped out, it seems that there is a big matter, it is better to say it, let's discuss it."

If it is to govern local government affairs, I may not be as good as you, but my experience in fighting wars or something, is still somewhat useful. ”

Xi Zhicai thought for a while and said: "Okay, since General Ma asked, I won't hide it, the urgent information just sent from the front that our Taishan County was attacked by Cao Cao's cavalry, and a family colluded with Cao Cao and rebelled." ”

Other families are okay, thunderbolt means, just kill it.

However, the Yang family is the first family in Taishan County, and it has a unique influence in the south.

The most troublesome point is that the Yang family is still close to Kong Rong, and Cai Yong also has the grace to save each other.

Therefore, the rebellion of the Yang family was unexpected by Xi Zhicai and others.

At the same time, he didn't think of a good way to deal with the sheep family.

You have to ask Xu Ding for instructions on this matter.

Lao Ma is an old warlord, and when he heard that the southern part of Mount Tai was lost, he immediately understood that it was a big deal, and the location of Mount Tai County was too important.

So he slapped the table directly and said: "What's so good about the old play, send troops directly, immediately recapture the southern part of Taishan County, don't let them sit big, and destroy this Cao Cao's cavalry with thunder."

Kill the sheep family and exterminate the clan, so that they can cause trouble in Mount Tai. ”

Xi Zhicai showed a wry smile, if the Yang family was so easy to kill, he wouldn't think much about it.

Ma Teng saw that Xi Zhicai hesitated, so he asked: "Old drama, don't you have no reserve soldiers and horses, and you are all sent to the front line?" ”

After asking, Lao Ma muttered again: "It shouldn't be, your Qingzhou is stable and has a large population, I have seen a lot of people along the way, and what kind of militia do you have, you can fight if you pull out a weapon and send a weapon, is it because you lack a leader here." ”

After muttering, the old horse slapped his thigh and said: "How about me, I have also led sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, you just hand over all the militia to me, and I can manage it, if you have someone who can ride a horse, it would be better, give me a thousand eight horses, and I can train a cavalry that can fight before I take them to Taishan County." ”

Xi Zhicai politely refused: "We don't lack generals and generals, we don't lack generals, when the lord left, he left 1,000 horses and horses for the right cavalry guard and rear guard, and 2,000 guards for me to dispatch, and at the same time there are nearly 15,000 county soldiers in Beihai and Donglai, plus nearly 20,000 militiamen, I can raise five or six thousand horses from the county government and caravans, and I can deal with Cao Cao's tigers and leopards." ”

The two counties could make up an army of 40,000 at once, and it was planned and organized in advance.

Ma Teng was secretly envious.

Liangzhou is not comparable with the Kanto region.

People can form a large army by casually selecting the strong people who can fight, but they have to transfer all the vitality of the entire Liangzhou to be comparable.

"Old play! You have enough troops, but do you really have a general who can command so many soldiers and horses? I believe that all of you who stay at home must be this young general, the veterans and generals have gone to the front, if you can trust me, let me come, although I am going to bury half my life in the yellow sand, but it is still okay to deal with some thieves. Ma Teng has repeatedly said that he can help Qingzhou.

This is a favor from Qingzhou, and he doesn't want to owe too much to Fang Yi.

Xi Zhicai didn't refuse in one bite this time.

As Ma Teng said, there are really a lot of fierce generals left in Beihai, but they are not qualified to lead so many armies.

It is no problem for them to receive two or three thousand or four or five thousand to go out to various battlefields to support.

However, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight requires irreparable experience.

"Old play, there's another benefit for me to help you, I think you understand." The old horse reminded with a smile.

Xi Zhicai suddenly understood what Ma Teng meant, the Yang family is a trouble, and how to deal with the Yang family will be a tricky problem to regain Taishan County.

In order to give Kong Rong and Cai Yong a chance to speak, the Yang family must be solved when they recapture the southern part of Mount Tai.

Undoubtedly, the emergence of Ma Teng is a good opportunity.

Ma Teng does not belong to Xu Dingzhi's subordinate generals, but is just a northwest warlord who came to govern the army, and no one can blame him for his actions.

Xi Zhicai thought for a while, and finally nodded at Ma Teng and said, "Old Ma, the matter will be handed over to you." ”

"Haha, don't worry, old drama, I'm the most experienced in how to calm down." Ma Teng laughed.

Liangzhou is not without a family, and in his hands, he is not honest, well-behaved and clever.

"By the way, I heard that you have a martial arts hall on Weiyuan Island, which specializes in training generals, can you ...... after this battle" Ma Teng is not all selfless, so when he said this, his eyes fell on his two sons Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, as well as his nephew Ma Dai.

The three young offspring are the hope of his Ma family.

If Ma Chao folds in Liangzhou, these three people will be the future of his Ma family.

Whether the Ma family can prosper or not depends on the three boys, and it is imperative to find a high starting point for them.

It was only then that I suddenly realized, and then I understood why Lao Ma always said that he wanted to help or something, this was originally begging them, and it was difficult to speak, so he kept making excuses to mention this matter.

So he smiled and said: "Lao Ma, let's put it this way, the martial arts hall you heard is real, so far we have recruited three batches of students, the first two phases were selected by the military, and the third phase was selected in various states and counties in the past few years.

This year, the fourth batch of students will be opened, if you have teenagers over the age of thirteen who can sign up, I believe that with the foundation of your old Ma family, you should be able to pass the simple and basic selection conditions. ”

There are strict conditions for entering the martial arts hall, one is age, and the other is physical fitness.

If it doesn't meet the standard, even Xi Zhicai will not open his mouth with public and private interests.

"Haha, good, there are three of my Ma family who are thirteen years old, look at the old drama, you don't need to say it, if they can't even pass the basic selection conditions, I have to kill them." Ma Teng was pleased with this answer.

In the army, there are still screening conditions for picking relatives and guards, and they are still picking elites, and the selection of disciples in the martial arts hall naturally cannot be sloppy.

If anything, cats and dogs can enter, it's not a mess, and there is no technical content.

As long as the martial arts hall does not set up other regional exclusions, and does not deliberately set up obstacles to the Ma family, then he has no opinion.

Martial artists speak with their fists, and the iron itself is hard, if you don't have any ability, you can only admit it if you can't choose it.

There is an urgent matter to deal with, and the welcome banquet can only stop here.

Xi Zhicai immediately issued an order, gathered the soldiers and horses sent to guard in various places, and soon led Lu Kuang, the deputy guard, Peng Yu, who was transferred to the right cavalry guard, Wei Feng and others who were transferred to the right guard, all arrived.

At the same time, Xu Ding had the news that Licheng sent back, and he also sent it back at the same time.

Rou Rong is nothing more than predicting that the southern part of Taishan County may be attacked by tiger and leopard cavalry, and is ready to respond and support.

"The lord was still prescient, and he actually guessed that Cao Cao would sneak attack Taishan County, so this game of chess is much better." After reading the letter, Xi Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief.

He believed that Xu Ding must have not only written to him to beware of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riders.

Taishan's trial was also notified.

Mount Tai is closer to Beihai, and when the trial receives the news, it will inevitably send troops to stabilize and control the line of Zhushui first.

Although Mount Tai has built a straight road of cement road, but there are more lofty mountains and mountains, and there are many places to set up checkpoints, the tiger and leopard rider has lost its innate speed advantage, and it is impossible to continue to expand the advantage in the next step, there are not enough foot soldiers, and it is difficult to break through the defensive front set up by the trial.

After thinking about it, Xi Zhicai immediately ordered: "The whole army set off, and ordered the people of the Fawei to take the first step, first rush to garrison Gaishan, Dongguan, and Yingxian, control the army here, and strengthen the garrison." ”

Wei Feng and the two thousand guards took the first step out of the Beihai Kingdom, and rode their war horses to the three places that Xi Zhicai said.

Most of the guards were equipped with horses, because they often had to be sent to various places and armies to inspect and supervise the captains and county soldiers, etc., so they were equipped with horses for official business.

Not cavalry, like cavalry.

The combat effectiveness of the Fa Wei is the worst of the five guards, but the treatment is top-notch.

Therefore, Wei Feng and the other two thousand Dharma Guards arrived at their respective destinations as soon as possible.

Xi Zhicai's side led the army with Ma Teng and others to the south.

The troops are all from all over the army, they don't know each other in the first place, and they also lack running-in, so when they get together at this time, the efficiency is naturally not high, and Ma Teng needs to carry out an integrated plan on the road.

In Liangzhou, Ma Jiajun came from a variety of sources, and the ethnic groups included not only Qiang people, but also other minority tribes.

So Ma Teng is still very good at this.

"Old play, in fact, you don't have to come with you, you see that these generals and horses are all from your Qingzhou, and I can't run away from your generals when I first arrived. Ma Teng said jokingly.

Xi Zhicai said: "General Ma, it's because you can't run away from them that I should follow him, otherwise they won't listen to your command, which may affect the overall situation." ”

"Hehe, it's really, one of you Qingzhou generals is younger than the other, and it looks like the arrogant one, it's really not easy to command." Ma Teng glanced at Lu Kuang, Peng Yu and the others a few times, then licked his mouth and asked:

"Old play, aren't the two elite soldiers and horses in the hands of these two guys very strong, I think the murderous aura on their bodies is heavier than the other. The same goes for the soldiers below, and most of the horses you raise are distributed among them, which makes me have a little less cavalry on improvise. ”

Peng Yu was better there, he originally brought his own horses, the horses were tall, horsey and fat, very strong, and they didn't look like ordinary cavalrymen.

But they walked very slowly, and whether they were soldiers or horses, they all exuded a calm color.

But the guy named Lu Kuang was obviously an infantryman, but he was also riding a horse, and all the guys in his hands were covered with thick linen, and he didn't know what kind of blade it was.

Like a knife is not a knife, like a gun is not a gun, it makes people curious.

Xi Zhicai said: "General Ma, I also want to tell you in detail about the situation of our armies in Qingzhou and Pingzhou, the two elite soldiers you see are originally Jin Wuwei under the name of the lord, who is in charge of the security of the lord and the army to fight, originally 3,000 men and horses per guard, and now there are three guards to be restructured into 5,000.

The 1,000 men and horses in Ziguang's hands are guards, also known as Mo Daowei, which are foot soldiers, but they can also be ridden.

On the side of the ancient order is the right cavalry guard, also known as the Xuanjia guard, which is a heavy cavalry, and the weapons of the people and the armor of the horses are escorted by the special logistics team. ”

In order to better let Ma Teng dispatch and command, encircle and suppress the tiger and leopard ride, the drama was so ambitious that he did not hide anything.

After all, it is not the first time that Jin Wuwei has appeared in battle, and the Kwantung princes have long understood it.

Only Ma Teng from Liangzhou didn't know anything about Zheng.

Only by understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each army can Ma Teng, the commander, better command the formation.
