Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan arrived in Xudu to meet Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and stayed in Xudu for a month, in March, Ma Chao gathered a large army to attack Chang'an, and Ma Xiaoquan was ordered by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to go to Chang'an to "condole" the then guard Xiahou Yuan

+++++++++++++++++++++ Ma Xiaoquan was a little disappointed, but it was understandable, after all, Xiahou Yuan had a heavy responsibility, and Chang'an's defense depended on him.

Although there is no whereabouts of his son, Ma Xiaoquan did not complain too much about Xiahou Yuan, and now Ma Chao is like a bamboo in successive pulling out several counties around Chang'an, the top priority is to retire Ma Chao first.

Just as he was hesitating, Xiahou Yuan suddenly asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Lord Shangxian, what do you think of Ma Chao?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan came back to his senses and said: "There is courage and strategy, but the strategy is not high." Compared to you, it's a little worse. ”

Xiahou Yuan hummed softly and said, "Ma Chao has pulled out several counties in a row, and his subordinates are no more than 10,000, Lord Shangxian, if you want to defeat Ma Chao, I think you should"

Xiahou Yuan told Ma Xiaoquan about his idea deployment, and after listening, Ma Xiaoquan nodded again and again, and praised: "Miaocai is really powerful, but Miaocai, your strategy is a little fixed, if you change it slightly, it should be more flexible and easier to use." ”

"Oh?" Xiahou Yuan was shocked in his heart and said, "I also hope that Lord Shangxian will teach you a lesson or two." ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Although Ben Xian and your lord stand on the same line, it is not for the sake of coveting anything, making plans to dominate the world, Ben Xian does not participate, Miaocai, think about it yourself." ”

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he didn't say much. He knows the temperament of Lord Shangxian, and for more than a month, although Lord Shangxian has not given him any strategy, but Lord Shangxian's training ability, Xiahou Yuan admires the five-body throwing to the ground.

After staying in Chang'an for a month, Ma Xiaoquan was not idle, he led Xiahou Yuan's soldiers to practice and play when he had nothing to do.

Ma Xiaoquan was born in a military family, and his father Ma Liehuo practiced by himself until he was happy. After growing up a little and entering the Boy Scouts, Ma Xiaoquan experienced inhuman training, after going to college, several times when performing tasks, Ma Xiaoquan almost lost his life, if it wasn't for the usual training is good enough, I'm afraid that now Ma Xiaoquan has become a white bone underground.

Of course, these things were also a long time ago, and now Ma Xiaoquan is the "Lord Shangxian" who has crossed back from the entity. ”

However, the training that seemed ordinary in Ma Xiaoquan's eyes was not ordinary in Xiahou Yuan's eyes. No matter how you say it, Xiahou Yuan is a person of this era, and the content of the soldier's training is definitely not as good as Ma Xiaoquan from modern society.

Of course, the drill is not in vain, Xiahou Yuan doesn't like money, but it doesn't mean that he has no money. After coming to Chang'an, Xiahou Yuan really looted some treasures left by the rebels, in addition to dividing some to appease the people, a large part of them were hoarded by Xiahou Yuan.

After getting the news that Xiahou Yuan was hoarding treasures, Ma Xiaoquan immediately put forward the idea of "Ben Xian helps you train soldiers, and you pay Ben Xian".

Ma Xiaoquan's soldier drill results are very remarkable, one day, Xiahou Yuan sent a few teams out to patrol, but he didn't expect that the team encountered a side of Ma Chao on the way, the two armies can start fighting without saying a word, this fight, the advantages and disadvantages are superior.

Xiahou Yuan's two squads, with a small strength of less than 300 people, defeated 1,000 people from Ma Chao's side, and what made Xiahou Yuan feel even more incredible was that there were no casualties.

You must know that as long as there is a war, there will be casualties, and there are no examples of zero casualties, but it is absolutely impossible to have a situation where you can fight more with less and still have zero casualties.

Xiahou Yuan opened his eyes this time.

Xiahou Yuan was very excited in his heart, with Lord Shangxian helping him train soldiers, he really didn't pay attention to Ma Chao, which is also one of the reasons why Ma Chao even pulled out the walled city Xiahou Yuan still followed the steps.

At the beginning of July of the seventeenth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, Xiahou Yuan, who was a strong soldier, finally ordered the city to attack Ma Chao.

It's summer, and the weather is hot and there is a lot of water.

Although Ma Chao's department is brave, the rabble is still the majority, and after several head-on battles, Ma Chao is a little unbearable. Coupled with the lack of water, food and supplies, the walled cities that were originally captured by Ma Chao also surrendered back.

Xiahou Yuan, who had subdued the lost territory, did not rush to take advantage of the victory to pursue the remnants of Ma Chao, after all, Xiahou Yuan's troops were mostly soldiers from the Central Plains, although they were all in the north, but the climate in the northwest and north China were completely two concepts.

It was still hot during the day, but at night, it immediately cooled down, and the temperature difference was so large that even Ma Xiaoquan couldn't stand it

"Ah sneeze~~" Xiahou Yuan sneezed, rubbed his nose, and asked Ma Xiaoquan beside him: "Lord Shangxian, when are we going to attack Ma Chao?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan pretended to pinch his fingers mysteriously and muttered, "In a few days." ”

Xiahou Yuan didn't doubt it, and immediately nodded: "Okay, then it's a few days." ”

Xiahou Yuan didn't know that Ma Xiaoquan said that what he meant when he said a few more days was actually to fight while consuming, but Xiahou Yuan understood that he would fight again in a few days.

Coincidentally, during the few days of waiting, Xiahou Yuan ushered in the envoy sent by Ma Chao.

This messenger is very interesting, eloquence is also very good, after coming to Chang'an, he first made a special announcement of the big propaganda that was like a river, and then explained the intention.

Ma Xiaoquan was inconvenient to appear, so he had been hiding behind a screen and listening quietly. After hearing the messenger's intention, Ma Xiaoquan almost rushed out.

Because the messenger said that Liang Xing (one of the former rebel generals) has joined forces with Ma Chao, if you continue to fight with us, we will consume it with you, and the other thing is that General Liang Xing captured a child, and after torture, he learned that he is the son of the Immortal Marquis, if you don't fight us, we can return the son of the Immortal Marquis.

Ma Xiaoquan told Xiahou Yuan about his intention to find his son, and Xiahou Yuan also understood, but this messenger said it with empty mouths, not to mention Ma Xiaoquan, even Xiahou Yuan doubted the authenticity of the matter.

Xiahou Yuan secretly glanced at the screen, and found that there was no movement, so he said: "In this way, you go back now and send a token tomorrow, if the token is sure to belong to the son of the Hou Ye, let's talk about it." ”

The messenger was also interested, and immediately nodded and withdrew.

As soon as the messenger left, Ma Xiaoquan walked out from behind the screen.

Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord Shangxian, look at this"

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "I have to go and see it myself." ”

"Huh?" Xiahou Yuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Lord Shangxian, you just left, the matter of training soldiers"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "It's no longer necessary, you just do what I told you, it's just a wonderful talent, if you catch Liang Xing, what will you do?" ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "If you can surrender, you will naturally surrender." ”

"Definitely!" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "Liang Xing, you don't have to stay." ”

Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you Lord Shangxian for mentioning it, I remember." ”

"Well, okay, then I'll leave immediately, Miaocai, take care."

"Take care"

Ma Xiaoquan walked out from the north gate of Chang'an to the left, and on the right side of the north gate, two people came in, a middle-aged man with a half-grown boy.

The two of them were covered in dust and looked like wolves, and when they entered the gate just now, they were interrogated by the city gate guards for a long time before they were let in.

The middle-aged man lowered his head and asked the boy: "Third child, what's the matter, are you hungry?" ”

The little boy shook his head: "I'm not too hungry, second brother, didn't you say you went to Hanzhong, why did you come to Chang'an first?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "Let's get something in Chang'an first and then go, by the way, what did you say you lost?" ”

The little boy said: "Yu Pei, it's a pity, it was given to me by my father." ”

"Where did you lose it?"

"Shan Cheng."

"Oh, there, I heard that there was a rebel some time ago, what is it called Liang Xing."

"Well, yes, I guess we were touched by someone when we passed there a few days ago."

The middle-aged man waved his hand: "Hey, forget it, it's gone, if you like it, you are secretly touching two of them in the pawnshop in Chang'an City today, what's the matter?" ”

The little boy thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
