Hearing Ma Chao say this, Ma Teng and Han Sui's faces subconsciously changed, and both of them were shocked.

Ma Teng said: "My son, Liangzhou is the foundation of me and your General Han, how can I dedicate it to Liu Yu?" Given to Liu Yu, how should we gain a foothold? ”

Ma Chao persuaded and said, "Father, General Han." Don't you still understand, Liangzhou now has no soldiers to stop the Marquis of Hanzhong, and the Marquis of Hanzhong has three thousand Mo sword elites, you have also seen the battle of Tianshui County, the fierceness is comparable to an army of 100,000, how can it be the enemy? The Marquis of Hanzhong is a relative of the Han family, with a great reputation, and has occupied the relevant Zhongzhong, and he may not be able to set the world in the future, and he will not disgrace his father and General Han. ”

Ma Teng sighed, his proudest son Ma Chao personally persuaded him to surrender, and Liangzhou did not have any soldiers to resist Liu Yu.

Ma Teng promised to surrender, Han Sui even lost his old nest Jincheng County, and it was difficult to support it alone, so he could only surrender, he only hoped that Liu Yu could ignore the past suspicions and treat them well.

Liu Yu had arrived in Jincheng County, and a day later, Ma Chao took Ma Teng, Han Sui, Pang De, Ma Dai and the surviving Liangzhou generals to ask Liu Yu to surrender.

Liu Yu was overjoyed and personally went out of the camp to greet Ma Chao and others. Han Sui and Ma Teng didn't mention it for the time being, but the three generals Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai, plus the eight counties of Liangzhou, were enough to make his strength skyrocket.

Liu Yu awarded Ma Chao as Zhonglang General, Pang De as General Fenwei, and Ma Dai as Jincheng General.

Five days later, as soon as the arrangements were made, Liu Yu led the army back to Chang'an City, accompanied by Ma Teng, Han Sui, Ma Chao and others.

……

As soon as he returned to Longxi County, Liu Yu suddenly received an urgent report from Chang'an City.

The Hun cavalry took advantage of the defeat of Li Dao and Guo Yan to die, Liu Yu was not stable, and sent troops to Tianshui County to meet Ma Teng and Han Sui, when Guanzhong was empty, they went south to capture Guanzhong, and Chang'an City was plagued all around, but fortunately, Liu Ye, Lu Qian and others guarded Chang'an City, and did not let the Hun cavalry rush into the city, and other counties were also saved, after all, the Hun cavalry was only captive, not occupied.

However, the Hun cavalry also broke through several county towns, killed tens of thousands of people, and captured nearly 30,000 people.

That is to say, before and after, this time the Xiongnu went south, which directly caused Guanzhong to lose 40,000 people, as well as a large amount of money, grain and property, etc., which can be described as a heavy loss!

"Hateful, the Huns should be damned!" Liu Yu was furious, and he was eager to immediately raise troops to kill the Hetao area where the Xiongnu were located and exterminate the entire Xiongnu clan. Fortunately, Guo Jia persuaded him down in time.

Guo Jia said: "Big brother, the Huns are hateful, but the soldiers have been fighting for nearly two months, and Guanzhong and Liangzhou are not stable, so it is really not appropriate to connect and start a war with the Huns at this time." Victory cannot completely solve the Xiongnu, and defeat may not guarantee Guanzhong and Liangzhou. ”

"What Feng Xiao said is very true, and I know it, but the hatred in my heart is unsettled." Liu Yu was heartbroken, but he had to give up his plan to conquer the Xiongnu now.

However, Liu Yu also secretly swore that after stabilizing Guanzhong and Liangzhou and further strengthening him, he would destroy the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu now live in the Hetao area, speaking of which, when Qin Shi Huang sent Meng Tian to lead 300,000 Qin troops, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, chased the Xiongnu for 800 miles, and finally seized the Hetao area and set up more than 30 counties. However, in the early days of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were in civil strife, and the Southern Xiongnu were annexed, but the Eastern Han Dynasty court took an extremely stinky move and relocated the Southern Xiongnu in the Hetao area.

At the beginning, the Southern Xiongnu, who were as weak as a lost dog, after nearly two hundred years of development in the Hetao area, have become a strong Hu that can threaten Guanzhong!

Five Hu Chaohua, it was started by the Xiongnu and the Di people to capture Guanzhong, the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty, Luoyang, was directly broken by the Huns, and the Western Jin Dynasty perished, it is conceivable that the threat of the Xiongnu is how big, and the Xiongnu were directly placed in the Hetao area north of Guanzhong, what a stinky move!

Before the strength was not enough, there was no point in saying anything, Liu Yu suppressed his hatred for the Xiongnu, in order to prevent the Xiongnu from going south to plunder again, he ordered Guan Yu, Ma Dai to lead 30,000 troops to be stationed in the Beidi County closest to the Xiongnu, and he was at ease to stabilize the rule of Guanzhong and Liangzhou first.

……

Liu Ye and Lu Qian are worthy of being the top security talents, quickly stabilizing the livelihood of the people in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, so that Liu Yu's rule over Guanzhong and Liangzhou is becoming more and more stable.

There are nine counties in Guanzhong and eight counties in Liangzhou, a total of seventeen counties.

At the peak of Guanzhong and Liangzhou, there were more than 5 million people, but they first experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, then the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, and the battle between Lü Bu and Li Dao and Guo Yan. The battle between Li Dao and Guo Yan and Han Sui and Ma Teng. Li Dao and Guo Yan fought against each other. and Liu Yu's crusade against Li Dao and Guo Yan's battles, Liu Yu's battles with Han Sui and Ma Teng, and the Xiongnu from time to time to plunder.

At present, the combined population of Guanzhong and Liangzhou is less than 2.5 million people, and more than half of the population has been lost.

However, the remaining population is enough for Liu Yu to recruit another 200,000 soldiers, plus the existing soldiers, Liu Yu will have 300,000 soldiers! Of course, soldiers have to eat food, and if they recruit too many soldiers, there will be fewer young and strong people to work, and there will be a great shortage of grain and other aspects of production.

Liu Yu was newly defeated in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and it was impossible to fight continuously, so counting the five counties of Hanzhong and Shangyong, Liu Yu only maintained an army of 200,000, and among the 200,000 troops, more than 80,000 were the original soldiers of the Hanzhong Army, more than 40,000 were prisoners of Li Dao and Guo Yanjun, more than 50,000 were prisoners of Ma Teng and Han Suijun, and only 10,000 were real recruits.

As long as it is reorganized, without even how to train or go to the battlefield, these 200,000 troops are enough to form a strong combat force, not inferior to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other Kwantung princes under the command of a hundred battles.

In addition to ordinary soldiers, Liu Yu also intends to establish a cavalry elite with the same status as the Modao Army, which Liu Yu calls the 'Flying Dragon Cavalry'.

The elite Wyvernhorse will also have only 3,000 people, all selected from the 200,000 army, all equipped with steel forged horse lances, steel swords, and fish scale armor. This will be an elite iron cavalry that Liu Yu is confident that he can crush Gongsun Zhan's white horse and righteous servants!

The forging of horse lance and steel sword requires far less steel than forging Mo Dao, and it is estimated that the elite equipment of the three thousand flying dragon riders can be forged in two years, while the equipment of the previous three thousand Mo Sword Army took three full years.

"Big brother, this flying dragon rides ......" Zhao Yun looked at Liu Yu and said.

At the beginning, Guan Yu took three thousand Mo Sword Army to train, Zhao Yun didn't know how greedy he was, and now Liu Yu was preparing to establish a 'Flying Dragon Rider' elite with the same status as the Mo Sword Army, Zhao Yun finally couldn't help but come to the door.

Liu Yu naturally knew what Zhao Yun wanted to ask, originally Zhao Yun was the best candidate to train the Flying Dragon Rider, Liu Yu smiled and said: "The Flying Dragon Rider will be handed over to Zilong for training, and in the future, Zilong can also be the 'Flying Dragon General'!" ”

Zhao Yun was overjoyed: "Yes, big brother, Yun will not let big brother down." ”

First, there were three thousand Mo Dao elites who were trained by Guan Yu, Guan Yu was the 'Mo Dao General', and now he is preparing to establish three thousand Flying Dragon Iron Cavalry and hand them over to Zhao Yun for training, and Zhao Yun will also be appointed as the 'Flying Dragon General'.

Ma Chao is also greedy, but Ma Chao knows that he has just put into service, and Liu Yu's trust in him is far less than that of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, who have been assisted for many years, and he wants to be the same as Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, but it is still far behind. But Ma Chao is not discouraged, he is younger than Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and he has opportunities.

……

No matter how chaotic Guanzhong was in the past, after Liu Yu overthrew Li Dao and Guo Yan ruled Guanzhong, Guanzhong gradually restored tranquility, and the people lived and worked in peace, no longer worried about military disasters that would occur at any time, and the people's livelihood in Guanzhong was greatly restored.

In order to win over the hearts of the people in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, Liu Yu also often went to the counties to inspect, work and suffer with the people, and punish the corrupt officials and corrupt officials hated by the people.

Liu Yu was in full swing in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, the princes of Kwantung, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, etc. also developed rapidly, and the relationship between Xuzhou Lu Bu and Liu Bei underwent a fundamental change, and Lu Bu finally took Liu Bei's Xuzhou.
