Winter went to spring, and in a blink of an eye, it was the spring of the seventh year of Jian'an (194).

Under the vigorous support of Ma Yue at all costs, the handicraft industry and commerce in Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Hetao began to prosper.

Ma Yue also used the five baht coins cast from the mint to buy the first batch of 3,000 Shandan military horses from the Shandan Military Horse Farm! Many of the generals under Ma Yue's command couldn't figure it out, because the Shandan Military Horse Farm was originally completely owned by the government, and Ma Yue could order the requisition without spending money to buy it.

But Ma Yue didn't think so.

The political axe is rigid and inefficient, and it can only lead the general direction of the development of the whole society, but cannot meddle in specific affairs, otherwise it will only do bad things.

Only businessmen will dig out their hearts to operate in order to maximize profits, and will give full play to the utility of industries such as Shandan Military Horse Farm or Hetao Iron Mill, etc., in the short term, Ma Yue did spend a lot of unjust money, but in the long run, the government has saved a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain the operation of the military horse farm, and let the economy under his rule full of vitality.

Ma Yue is the future after all. In China at the end of the 20 th century, it was an indisputable fact that state-owned enterprises lost money on a large scale, and even a seven-year-old naughty boy was deeply aware of the fact that his parents had laid off his job.

Of course, Ma Yue couldn't explain this truth to the generals under his command.

Fortunately, the horse butcher's policy of vigorously supporting industry and commerce did not touch the vested interests of his generals, and did not cause internal disputes, even if there were occasional small disputes, they were suppressed by the horse butcher with absolute authority. The horse butcher did not like to read since he was a child, so he had little culture, except for horse pedals and horseshoes, and this policy of vigorously supporting industry and commerce was the only contribution he brought to the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty.

……

The spring is cold, and the Hetao Plain is still icy and snowy.

Although it has been said that the three poles, Ma Yue still relied on the embroidered couch of Diao Chan and did not get up, and now he is panting out of breath, and the two little girls came in with a silver plate of hot water to serve the general and Mrs. Ru to get up and wash, but only to see the bead curtain hanging low, the embroidered couch swaying gently, and the moaning sound of snow flowing out of the curtain, sometimes mixed with the heavy wheezing sound of men.

Suddenly, a strong thigh poked out of the bead curtain, gently swinging the corner of the bead curtain, and for a fleeting moment, the two little maids saw that Mrs. Ru was naked [***] wrapped around the general's bear waist, two snow-white fat buttocks were swaying, and the boudoir echoed with a blood-pumping silver sound.

The pink faces of the two little girls turned red, and they shyly avoided their faces, but after a while, they couldn't help but secretly turn back, staring intently at the embarrassing scene, and the two pairs of big black and bright eyes revealed a point of curiosity, three points of envy, and six points of restlessness~~

[If you don't like to watch this paragraph, you can skip it, and it won't affect the plot.] ]

"My lord."

Ma Yue had just finished erupting in Diao Chan's body and wanted to sleep back with the beauty's soft delicate body, when Dian Wei's thunderous voice sounded very inappropriately outside the boudoir.

"My lord, Mr. Fu Zhu has urgent matters to see."

"Frustration again?"

A wry smile flashed across Ma Yue's face, and only this guy would come to him at this time. If he wants to take advantage of the reason, he will not take care of the face and likes and dislikes of the horse butcher, and if he changes Jia Xu, he will never sweep away the horse butcher's interest at this time.

Ma Yue reluctantly pinched two handfuls of Diao Chan's snow-white buttocks, until Diao Chan Xuexue groaned, and then sat up unsatisfied, turned around and yelled outside the house: "Got it, General Ben will get up." ”

The two little girls snickered, and hurriedly stepped forward with a silver plate to wait for Ma Yue to wash and change clothes.

After the tea, Ma Yue lazily came to the living room.

Fu Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "See the lord." ”

"Then the note is exempt." Ma Yue yawned and asked, "Is it important to come here so early?" ”

Fu Zhu took out a pocket sheepskin scroll from his sleeve, handed it to Ma Yue, and said: "My lord, the Fa Zheng envoy sent an expedited eight hundred miles, and the Western Regions have been pacified!" ”

"Oh?" When Ma Yue heard this, he immediately cheered up, "Fa Zheng has already pacified the Western Regions?" ”

"Exactly." "Although this Fa Zheng is young, he is extremely old-fashioned, and as soon as he arrived in the Western Regions, he pretended to make peace, and took advantage of the opportunity to kill the Zuo General of the Otsuki clan and the minister of the Cheshi Kingdom, and tied the Wusun Kingdom and some small countries in the Western Regions to our army's chariot. ”

"Not bad." Ma Yue nodded while reading the parchment letter, "This hand is ruthless enough." ”

Fu Zhu said happily: "With the strong support of Wusun Kingdom, Fa Zheng quickly suppressed the rebellion of the Dayue Clan and Cheshi Kingdom, wiped out the royal families of the two countries, and then selected pro-Han nobles from the two countries to govern. ”

"Well, well done." Ma Yue rolled up the parchment scroll and said to Fu, "Then you can reply to Fa Zheng and ask him to weaken the strength of the Wusun Kingdom as much as possible, at the moment our army is not able to make a large-scale westward expedition, it is not a good thing for the Wusun family to be dominant, only a divided and balanced Western Regions is the most in line with the interests of the Han Dynasty." ”

Frustrated: "Grant orders." ”

Seeing that he didn't leave after saying that, Ma Yue couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else to do?" ”

Fu Zhu hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Lord, when I was compiling the criminal system, I found that many of the military systems of the Liangzhou Army were unreasonable, didn't General Gao Shun come back from Hangu Pass, and after some calculations with him, I felt that it was necessary to reform the Liangzhou military system. ”

"There are many irrationalities in the Liangzhou military system?" Ma Yue said, "Then you should talk about it." ”

"For example, the officers and men of the three armies share weal and woe." "At the beginning, the lord's army was still a rootless rogue with no foundation, and the soldiers were in danger, and no one knew if they would be able to see the sun tomorrow alive. ”

Ma Yue frowned and said, "Why can't it be done now?" ”

Fu Zhu said solemnly: "At the beginning, there were only 800 rogues under the command of the lord, there were few people, the heart was united, and it was easy to control, but now the lord has more than 100,000 troops under the command of the lord, and the lord alone cannot command it anyway, but the lord can't expect all the generals under his command to be as indemgurated as you, and can take the lead and easily mobilize the enthusiasm and fighting spirit of the soldiers, which is the crux of the problem." ”

"That's a real problem." Ma Yue nodded and said, "Although the Liangzhou Legion is powerful in the eastern part of the country, it can really be called an elite division, that is, 20,000 veterans of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and hundreds of veterans of the trapping camp of Gao Shun, in addition, there are only more than 10,000 veterans sent to the desert one after another by this general, and the rest of the army can't be trained or led, I have been wondering, it seems that there is really a problem with you when you say this." ”

"So." "The Liangzhou Army must formulate a strict military system, generals should have the appearance of generals, and soldiers should have soldiers' standards!" Generals and soldiers can no longer eat in the same pot, veterans and recruits must also be treated differently, and soldiers must establish merit from the battlefield if they want to be better paid and higher pay! ”

Ma Yue thought so, nodded and said, "Note, this is all what you came up with?" ”

"No, most of these were thought up by General Gao Shun, and I just made some additions." After saying this, he said in a condensed voice, "My lord, I think that the Liangzhou army should imitate the Qin army and formulate a set of hierarchical and orderly military systems, only in this way can the lord effectively dispatch and command the entire Liangzhou army!" Only in this way can the Liangzhou Legion have the strongest combat effectiveness. ”

Ma Yue said with his hand: "Come, then note that you sit down first, speak slowly, and talk in detail." ”

Frustrated and sat down according to his words, and said eloquently: "The military system of the Qin army, the whole country is a soldier!" Soldiers can obtain knighthoods by virtue of military merits, and the titles are divided into 20 levels, such as Gongshi, Shangzao, Hairpin, Buchang, Doctor, Official Doctor, Gongdafu, Gongcheng, Five Doctors, Zuo Shuchang, Dashu Chang, Guannei Hou, Che Hou, and Liehou, etc., and the treatment of each level has strict regulations. ”

"As long as a soldier kills an officer above the rank of the enemy, he can obtain the lowest rank of duke, and he can obtain a higher title by accumulating military merits or beheading the enemy's generals.

Ma Yue nodded, knowing in his heart that this was probably the most primitive military rank system, which was equivalent to the division of privates, non-commissioned officers, lieutenants, colonels and generals in later generations, and the treatment between each rank must be distanced, so that soldiers can have enough motivation to earn military merits in exchange for higher ranks and better treatment.

Frustration and said: "The most important point of the Qin army's military system is that to mobilize an army of more than 1,000 people, there must be a complete military talisman, the talisman is usually divided into two halves, the leader of the army will hold half of it, and the other half will be collected by the lord, if there is no complete talisman, no one can mobilize the army without authorization, so that the powerful army is only controlled by the lord alone!" ”

"Oh, this won't work." Ma Yue shook his head and said, "This one has to be canceled, at least not for now!" The so-called soldiers are fast, the Liangzhou army really wants to do this, and when the generals in front send the news back to the old camp, the general will send someone to send the soldiers, the daylilies are cold, and the army in front has already let the Kwantung Army eat it. ”

Frustrated: "What the lord said seems to make sense. ”

Ma Yue said: "On the battlefield, the fighter plane is fleeting, and there is no room for delay, if you can't give enough autonomy to the commander of the army, this battle can't be fought!" What's more, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, since this general uses the leading general, he must have enough trust in him, when the former Han Dynasty destroyed Chu, didn't Han Xin have Gaozu's talisman? ”

Frustrated, he said, "Just according to the lord's words." ”

"My lord." Frustrated, Dian Wei staggered in again, and said in a loud voice, "The lord, the young general and Xu Chu, and the military advisor are here." ”

"Lord!"

"My lord."

"Brother!"

Before Ma Yue's words fell, Jia Xu, Ma Chao, and Xu Chu had already rushed in, clasping their fists and saying in unison: "See the lord." ”

"Oh, it's free." Gökuro said, "It's all free." ”

Xu Chu glared at Mu Ne's ring eyes, and said angrily: "Lord, this time the Iron Cavalry Battalion is full, with three thousand good horses from the Western Regions and a nine-foot-tall horse!" There were also a thousand brothers, all of them strong men of more than eight feet, and all heavy iron armor, all of them huge riding spears, one servant each, all of them all equipped! Now, the last general, the captain of the Iron Cavalry, can be regarded as truly worthy of the name. ”

Ma Yue said: "The ironclad brothers are all on? ”

Xu Chu said: "It's all draped, it's lighter than bronze armor, but it's much stronger, and now, the brothers are even more afraid of the bows and arrows of the Kanto dogs." ”

"Ahem." Jia Xu coughed lightly, interrupted Xu Chu, stepped forward and said to the horse, "Lord, during this time, General Xu Chu and the Major General have not been idle, and they have been reorganizing the 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry according to your wishes, except for the Iron Cavalry Battalion, the rest of the cavalry have also been compiled one after another, is the Lord taking the time to take a look?" ”

Ma Yue said: "Then what time is there, go now, go!" ”

After taking two steps forward, Ma Yue suddenly stopped, turned back to Jia Xu and said: "By the way, Wenhe, don't forget to call those heads of the Kwantung clan and the Hao clan, let them open their eyes today, what is the real ironclad cavalry, what is the real Xiliang ironhorse!" ”

Jia Xu said: "The lord is wise. ”

"Hahaha~~" Ma Yue looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and said loudly with a wave of his big sleeves, "Go." ”

……

Hetao, Liangzhou Daying.

Ma Yue was dressed in golden armor and stood on the platform with his sword.

Behind Ma Yue, Gao Shun, Ma Chao, Fang Yue, Xu Huang, Ju Tu, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Gan Ning, Chen Hu, Zhang Bao and other generals, as well as Jia Xu, Fu Zhu, Guan Ning, Li Su, Lu Su, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Yong, Zhen Yi, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others were also impressively listed.

Look at the noon, Ma Yue bowed gently to Ma Chao beside him.

Ma Chao understood, took three steps forward, raised his right arm and waved it down, and suddenly, there was a desolate horn sounding in a deep voice, the school field was empty, and the bare loess surface reflected a cold reflection under the sunlight, and the air was filled with an extraordinarily solemn atmosphere.

"Purr~~"

The sound of the war horse's nose sounded ghostly, it was close at hand, the horse jumped and the people behind him looked back, the two horses had galloped out of the barracks on the right side of the school field, and rushed to the military general on horseback in front of the point platform before he pulled the reins of the horse, and the mount under the crotch suddenly stood up, and the front legs volleyed a violent kick, and the momentum of the forward rush was stopped.

"Don!"

The horse's hooves embedded with horseshoes fell heavily from the air, and it was like a heavy drum slamming into the hearts of Cai Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others, these Kwantung warriors had never seen the real Xiliang Iron Horse, at first glance, such a tall horse, such a superb riding skill, his face immediately changed a little, and his breathing began to be involuntarily short.

On horseback, Xu Chu was wearing heavy armor, and he hugged his fists and said: "The last general Xu Chu, see the lord!" ”

"Hmm." Ma Yue bowed his head lightly and said loudly, "The martial arts show begins!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

Xu Chu suddenly agreed, hurriedly turned his horse, raised the wolf's tooth hammer and slammed it on the distant horizon, and suddenly, there was a faint thunder in the sky ahead, and on the vast horizon, there seemed to be smoke and dust gradually rising, and everyone standing on the point platform felt that the high platform under their feet was gently trembling.

"Boom~~"

Horses' heads are swaying, and iron hooves are churning.

A whole thousand heavily armored iron horsemen were slowly advancing towards the point platform at a slow speed, and the dark iron armor of that color was extremely mysterious and solemn against the double background of the blue sky and the gray and yellow ground, and the cavalry spears that pierced the sky were even more suffocating.

It's as if the air is stagnant, revealing a suffocating oppression.

"Whew!"

When the cavalry phalanx was still a hundred steps away from the point platform, Xu Chu suddenly raised the wolf's tooth hammer again, and slammed it into the air, and at the same time shouted loudly, and the slowly advancing heavy armored iron cavalry came to an abrupt halt, standing solemnly and silently on the school field, when the tide of horses' hooves suddenly subsided, Lu Su and other Kwantung clans were even a little unable to adapt to this sudden change, and their eardrums were still buzzing.

Xu Chu raised his hand and stroked his face gently, and the grimace mask on the helmet fell in an instant, covering Xu Chu's entire face behind Leng Sensen's grimace mask, only the two narrow eye holes, revealing a palpitating murderous aura, Xu Chu's legs slammed the horse's belly, and he shouted, urging the horse to come to the front of the cavalry formation.

"Sonorous sonorous ~~"

Amid the incessant sound of metal grinding, the heavily armored cavalry pulled down the face shields on their helmets one after another, and suddenly, the faces of mortal flesh and blood were replaced by cold grimace masks, and from this moment on, they were no longer human, but cold-blooded killers with iron armor.

The grimace mask covers not only the face, but also the **, fear and even death of the soldiers~~

"Ho!"

Xu Chu gently rode his horse, let go of the four hooves under his crotch, and began to trot towards the point platform, and suddenly, the thousand heavily armored iron horsemen who were waiting behind Xu Chu also rode forward, slowly approaching the point platform, as if the faint thunder in the far sky sounded again, and the point platform that was not built was sturdy began to tremble again.

"Hah!"

Xu Chu suddenly shouted, the war horse under his crotch gradually began to accelerate, and the thousand cavalry behind him also began to accelerate at the same time, and the thousand cavalry spears that originally pierced the sky also began to tilt forward slightly, and ran straight towards the point platform, the horse butcher could still stand still after a long time on the battlefield, but Cai Yong, Zhen Yi, Mi Zhu and other Kwantung warriors behind him had already been like chaff, in fact, Cai Yong and they were not afraid of death, they just couldn't control this trembling from the depths of their souls!

"Ahhh~~"

When Xu Chu's thunderous shout suppressed the sound of tidal hooves and clearly entered the eardrums of everyone on the platform, a whole thousand heavy-armored iron horsemen pressed down the cavalry spears in their hands at the same time, and instantly lined up into a row of cold guns, like countless vicious wolves, showing their hideous and terrifying fangs to the prey at the same time......

"Boom Boom~~"

The continuous sound of impact sounded, and the "grass and kwantung soldiers" arranged in advance on the school field were knocked backwards and flew out in an instant, and many "Kwantung soldiers" were in the air, and they had already been pierced through the body by sharp cavalry guns, but the weapons in their hands could not cause any damage to the Liangzhou heavy cavalry protected by heavy iron armor.

Liangzhou heavy cavalry is like a row of ironclad monsters, ruthlessly running over the "Kwantung Army" of the main formation, the Kwantung Army's formation impact to scattered, messy, Cai Yong, Zhen Yi, Kuai Liang, Mi Zhu and others do not understand the military, just from the visual shock to feel this huge stimulation, but Kuai Yue, Lu Su two are masters of soldiers, know that this Liangzhou iron cavalry is powerful, not only to disrupt the enemy formation, not only visual impact, its real power is the ruthless destruction of the enemy's will to resist!

In the face of these ironclad monsters, no matter how brave and fearless a warrior is, he will feel powerless and desperate from the bottom of his heart.
