Wang Yan asked at this time: "Then according to the will of the lord?" ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "First, we must use strong force to suppress the Southern Barbarian Tribes, this road is naturally bloody and cruel." However, how can there be immortals in the war, as long as our army shows more powerful force and combat power than the Southern Barbarian Tribes, so that they think that they are not opponents, then our army's first step will naturally be successful. ”

Pang Rou and Wang Yan couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard the words of their lord. Because in the past few years, there has been no war between the Liangzhou army and the Nanban tribes at all, and the main thing is that it is good for their own lords to appease them. Although he also has to give them a lot of things, he has also received a lot of good things from them, in the words of his lord, that is, to take what he needs.

But this time the Southern Barbarians rebelled, obviously if no one instigated it, then at least Pang Rou and Wang Yan didn't believe it. As for who it is, who will benefit the most and the most when his lord leaves Jingzhou, that is whose idea, what else can be said about this-

Then I listened to Ma Chao continue to say: "This second is to let the Southern Barbarian tribes, especially their leader Meng Shu, really be convinced." 'The snake can't do it without a head', Meng Shou is the leader of the Southern Barbarians, he can say a word from his people, and the Southern Barbarian tribes will rebel, and in the same way, with his people's words, the Southern Barbarian tribes may also retreat and be safe with our army.

Therefore, we must do our best to solve the Nanban matter. But it is necessary to let Meng Shu sincerely surrender to our army and join the Han Dynasty. In the past, although I said that I had a good life to appease the Southern Barbarian tribes every year, it was still too peaceful after all. It's been so many years, and if they don't get into trouble, it's been good all these years. But there are some things that should always come, so Meng Shu came with troops, and this time is the time to completely solve the affairs of the Nanban! ”

Ma Chao said this not only to Pang Rou and Wang Couple, but also to everyone.

Ma Chao's voice just fell. Lu Xun spoke, "What the general said is very true, look at it from below." To deal with the Southern Barbarian tribes, it is indeed necessary to attack the heart, and everyone is convinced, so naturally. That's it. ”——

Ma Chao nodded when he heard this. Lu Xun is Lu Xun, and he gets to the point in one sentence. To tell the truth, what did Meng Shu take so many men and horses, more than 150,000 men and horses from the Southern Barbarian Tribes, to attack Yizhou. It is true to say that they received a lot of benefits from Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and then came to attack Yizhou. But even if there is no Cao Cao, to be honest. Ma Chao also knew in his heart that Meng Shou and them rebelled. Actually, it's not too far.

Is Meng Shu ambitious, there must be, but people with a little brain know that even if Meng Shu has more horses, he can occupy a few more counties, do you still expect him to occupy the entire Yizhou, even the Han Dynasty? How could that be, even if he was as strong as Xianbei, he didn't dare to think about it like this, let alone his small Nanban tribe.

So in the final analysis, it was for the sake of interests that Meng Xu raised the army. But this is not the benefit that Cao Cao gave him, but the benefit from the Han people's territory and from Yizhou. At least in their opinion, even the poorest place in Yizhou may be better than their place, so for a better life, they do not hesitate to send troops once to fight for more and greater benefits, that's it-

Ma Chao finally said to everyone: "Everyone have a good rest, just wait for Yan Yan and them to arrive, I will lead the troops to go, this time I will definitely be able to solve the matter of Nanban, it is once and for all!" ”

Everyone said in unison: "I wish the Lord a victory and success!" ”

Ma Chao smiled at everyone, "Everyone should rest, it's not too early!" ”

"No! I'm waiting to retire! ”

Everyone left one after another, only Ma Chao, Cui An, Lu Xun and Pang Rou and Wang Yan who came at night, and finally added a Zhang Song. Zhang Song wanted to arrange a place for Ma Chao and them, so of course he couldn't go back first. If his father-in-law returns to other places, and says that he is not treated well in Yizhou, then he will be embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house. Although Zhang Song knew in his heart that his lord was not a person who was greedy for pleasure, as a subordinate, he did not dare to snub Ma Chao.

is the same, I don't dare to snub Cui An, Lu Xun, Pang Rou and Wang Yan, they-

On the second and third days, Yan Yan and the others finally arrived one after another, and Ma Chao looked at it and was happy in his heart. This time, plus Yan Yan, Huang Quan, Meng Da, Lei Tong, and Wu's uncle and nephew, this person is definitely enough. There are Cui An and Lu Xun on his side, including Pang Rou and Wang Yan, who just came last night, there are ten of them, how much is more.

On the fourth day, Ma Chao led 50,000 troops and went straight to Vietnam, because the latest battle report from the front line had already been lost. And now the Southern Barbarian Tribes, Meng Huo's main force, should be in Yue, so Ma Chao knows that it must be right to go there.

Everyone marched quickly and came to Yue, Ma Chao saw Yue Kai guarding Lu Kai, and after seeing Ma Chao, Lu Kai was still very excited. Of course, his excitement was not because he saw Ma Chao, the main man, he had never seen it, because of this. It's that he knows that because his lord is here, he won't lose it. Therefore, the more stable the people can be more stable, and the people can suffer less war, and he is excited in his heart.

After seeing Ma Chao, Lu Kai hurriedly saluted, "Yue Kai is too guarded by Lu Kai, I have seen the lord, everyone!" ”——

Ma Chao nodded, "Ji Ping worked hard, thanks to Ji Ping, he was able to hold his fists, if everyone was like Ji Ping, how could he be so rampant!" ”

For his lord's praise, Lu Kai just smiled slightly, he didn't say much, after inviting Ma Chao and them into the living room of the Taishou Mansion, Ma Chao asked: "Ji Ping, I don't know where the main force of Meng Shu is in the Nanban tribes now?" ”

Lu Kai asked people to take the map of Yizhou, then pointed to Ma Chao, and finally said: "Lord, now that Yongchang and Qiqi counties have been lost, our army does not have many men and horses in the two counties. However, only Yizhou County, Fei Shi is leading troops to deal with a group of people from the Southern Barbarian Tribes. And the Southern Barbarian Tribes, Meng is the main force, they should be here! ”

Ma Chao looked at what Lu Kai was referring to, it was the southeasternmost place in Yue, called Qingling. To be honest, Ma Chao didn't know much about Yizhou, especially the southwest of Yizhou, so he hadn't heard of this place before. But judging from the map, it looks like the place has just entered the Yue.

Ma Chao nodded, and then listened to Lu Kai continue: "Now Meng has won the main force, there are about less than 70,000 people, so if the lord goes, he will definitely be able to gain something against the enemy!" ”

When Ma Chao heard it, it turned out that Meng Shu had more than 60,000 people at this time, which was not a lot. Think about it, he brought more than 150,000 people, but a group of men and horses and Fei Shi and them went around, and this division of troops was at least 50,000 out. And he, Meng Shu, led the Southern Barbarian Tribes to fight in Yizhou, maybe he didn't have a short battle with his own side, so in terms of the combat strength of his own Liangzhou army, they have now changed from 100,000 to more than 60,000, to be honest, it is still very normal.

That's it, they said that what they encountered was not the most regular Liangzhou army, but the Yizhou army of the year. If this really encounters the strongest Liangzhou army, at this time, Meng Shu and they don't know how many people will be left.

In the end, Ma Chao said to everyone: "Ji Ping stays behind, and the others are with me, and after a day of rest, I will set off to Qingling to fight the enemy!" ”

"No!" ——

In the evening, after the banquet, Lu Kai came to find Ma Chao on purpose.

"Ji Ping is something, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Ma Chao also knew that Lu Kai had something, or he couldn't come to him so late. I heard Lu Kai say: "My lord, my subordinates have traveled to the Nanban tribes before they came out, and hand-drawn a map of the Nanban land, named 'Pingban Ruling Map', and I will give this thing to the lord today!" ”

When Ma Chao heard it, "Pingman is in charge of the map", he had really heard of it, but he didn't expect it to be drawn by Lu Kai. The kindness of his subordinates, of course, must be accepted. Regardless of whether it can be used in the future, at least it can't chill the hearts of his subordinates.

After Ma Chao took it with both hands, he nodded to Lu Kai, "Ji Ping, you have a heart, you have worked hard!" ”

Looking at Lu Kai, when he went to the territory of Nanban before, he knew that he was going to draw a map, this is a talent. But isn't it, they don't necessarily have any maps for their own Nanban tribes, but Lu Kai has them, and they are really good at drawing them all in what places, rivers and mountains.

Ma Chao also had to admit that if he said that his subordinates were all such talents, then he would have dominated the world a long time ago. (To be continued......)
