The Ma Jiajun in the northwest, tens of thousands of troops gathered in Maqin before, and the momentum was amazing, but in less than a day, except for Ma Guoliang who fled with thousands of remnants of the defeated generals, and Ma Haiyan evacuated with the last remaining few men and horses of the Qingma Army, all of them disappeared.

"Young Marshal, Chief of Staff! Liu Zhiye reports! A burly middle-aged soldier came to Wang Yuze and Cai Yun, who was none other than Liu Zhiye, the commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army. The appearance of the Fourth Brigade became the last straw that crushed Ma Jiajun's army and laid the foundation for the victory of this big battle.

"Haha, good! Brigade Commander Liu, you appeared in a timely manner! Otherwise, we wouldn't have won so easily! Wang Yuze said excitedly. If it weren't for the arrival of the Fourth Brigade, with the strength of the 10th Brigade and the 11th Brigade, even if they could resist the attack of the Ma Jiajun, it would still be very difficult to defeat them.

"Young Marshal, Chief of Staff! Guo Defu reports. In addition, now that the Ma Jiajun and the Qingma Army of Hezhou have fled one after another, should we launch a pursuit? A colonel officer in his thirties asked.

"What do you think, young marshal?" Cai Yun didn't make a decision right away.

"Pursue it! Pursue the Ma Jiajun in Hezhou. The Qingma Army is over, but the Hezhou Ma Family Army still has more than 20,000 troops in the Laochao Hezhou area, plus these people who fled back, there are 30,000 people, and if we don't eliminate them, it will be a great threat to us! Wang Yuze said.

"Hmmm! So be it! Liu Zhiye and Guo Defu obey the order! Immediately led the troops of the Fourth Brigade to pursue the Ma Jiajun in Hezhou, and wiped out their living forces as much as possible. Once you arrive at Hezhou, pay attention to your defense and wait for reinforcements! Cai Yun ordered.

"Yes, Chief of Staff! The 4th Brigade is guaranteed to complete the mission! Liu Zhiye and Guo Defu saluted Wang Yuze and Cai Yun, and immediately went down to carry out the order. Soon, thousands of troops of the 4th Brigade pursued north.

At this moment, on the battlefield north of Maqin City, the troops of the 10th and 11th Brigades of the Western Sichuan Army were counting prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield. Although this battle was a big victory, the losses of the western Sichuan army were not small. However, the final battle damage will not be known until it is counted.

It wasn't until the evening that Wang Yuze and Cai Yun got the exact battle damage. In today's battle, the 10th Brigade lost 327 killed, 106 seriously wounded, and 541 lightly wounded, almost losing the combat effectiveness of a battalion. The losses of the 11th Brigade were even greater, with 730 killed and 290 seriously wounded, while the minor casualties were relatively few, only more than 200 men, and the loss of more than one battalion of combat effectiveness.

However, this loss is insignificant compared to the results achieved. Before the war, the Ma Jiajun had a total of 40,000 troops, but now, only seven or eight thousand people have fled, and the remaining 30,000 people have either been captured or have died on the battlefield. Of these, more than 18,000 were captured intact, more than those killed or wounded in battle.

"Haha, a big win! Chief of Staff, so many people have been captured, these people are the most elite cavalry! Wang Yuze was very happy.

"Yes! I can form another cavalry brigade. However, who to send to be the brigade commander? Cai Yun said with a smile.

"Isn't there the right person? The brigade commander of the 11th Brigade is the eldest young master of the Qingma Army, and now the eldest young master of the Ningma Army is also in our hands. If only he could get him to join us. Then the Ningma Army will be able to be used by us! Wang Yuze said with a smile.

"Yes, that's what I'm thinking. Then let's meet Ma Fulu, what choice will he, the eldest young master of the Ning Ma Army, make! Cai Yun then ordered the guards to bring Ma Fulu in.

When Ma Fulu was brought in front of Wang Yuze and Cai Yun, he looked a little wolf. His hand was injured and he had been stabbed in the arm, but it was already bandaged. The two guards of the Western Sichuan Army were guarding him next to him in case he did anything unfavorable to Wang Yuze and Cai Yun.

"Young marshal, chief of staff!" At this time, Ma Qi also came.

"Brother Ma has worked hard. This time, the losses of the 11th Brigade are not small, and the captured prisoners will be given priority to replenish you! Wang Yuze said.

"Young Marshal Xie!" Ma Qi said excitedly. To be able to achieve this big victory, it can be predicted that the destruction of the Ma Jiajun by the Western Sichuan Army is just around the corner.

"Phew! Traitor! At this time, Ma Fulu scolded hatefully.

"Third Brother Shou. Know the times for Junjie! Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is already in the twilight, and the defeat of the Ma Jiajun is imminent. Good birds choose trees to perch, and I am just to leave a way back for the Ma family, how can I be considered a traitor? It's better for the third brother of Shou to join the Western Sichuan Army like me! The Western Sichuan Army is where China's hope lies and the best destination for our soldiers! Ma Qi was not angry, but smiled and persuaded that Shousan was the word of Ma Fulu. He knew what Wang Yuze and Cai Yun meant, so he took the initiative to persuade Ma Fulu.

"Humph! If you want me to betray Ma Jiajun and join you rebels, it's impossible! Ma Fulu said solemnly.

"General Ma, to be honest, do you think there is still hope for the Manchu Dynasty?" Wang Yuze asked sincerely.

Ma Fulu did not answer, in fact, he did not have any hope for the Manchus. Although the current Manchu Qing Dynasty still controls most of China, it is actually in decline. The Western Sichuan Army, on the other hand, is a tiger that has been dormant for more than ten years, and now, the tiger has begun to show its minions again. However, unfortunately, their Ma Jiajun became the first target of Sichuan's action.

"Presumably General Ma also knows that in the battle between western Sichuan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the final victory will definitely be my western Sichuan. Let me ask another question, I believe that General Ma was also deeply touched by today's battle. With the strong firepower of our western Sichuan army, can your Ma family army withstand it? Besides, now your Ma Jiajun has lost most of its combat strength, while our western Sichuan army is getting stronger and stronger. Even if Western Sichuan doesn't send a new army over, with the army we have now, it will be enough to destroy your Ma family's army!" So, is General Ma willing to go to the battlefield where tens of thousands of Ma Jiajun die? Wang Yuze continued.

Ma Fulu was silent, today's battle really shocked him. Tens of thousands of Ma Jiajun were simply unable to resist under the powerful firepower of the Western Sichuan Army. If this continues, Ma Jiajun will not be the opponent of the Western Sichuan Army at all. Perhaps, Ma Jiajun could choose to leave, such as entering the Qing court's control area. However, is it so easy for Ma Jiajun to give up the foundation he has laid in Gansu and Qinghai for decades?

"General Ma, in this battle, we captured a lot of soldiers of the Ma family. In particular, the soldiers of your Ningma Army are enough to reorganize a brigade. I have discussed with the young marshal to form the 12th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, and if you want, you are the brigadier general and brigade commander of this brigade! Cai Yun also said.

"Huh?" Ma Fulu was shocked by Cai Yun and Wang Yuze, but he didn't expect them to directly open a brigade commander's bargaining chip.

Ma Fulu also knows the organizational structure of the Western Sichuan Army very well, and he also knows the status of a brigade commander in the Western Sichuan Army. Frankly speaking, this is already very good treatment, far better than they went against the Western Sichuan Army and were finally wiped out.

"Third Brother Shou, what are you hesitating about? After this village, there is no such shop! Western Sichuan is in full swing, joining the Western Sichuan Army will not bury your talents! Ma Qi also persuaded on the side.

"If I join the Western Sichuan Army, what will be the outcome of my Ningma Army?" Ma Fulu asked. Under the threat and lure of the Western Sichuan Army, he still wavered.

"The Ningma Army will be disbanded, and the Western Sichuan Army will not allow separatist forces to appear in the army. However, in view of the fact that you still have a lot of soldiers in the Ningma Army, you can give the Ningma Army another brigade establishment. The position of Brigadier Commander can be recommended by you, but the Deputy Brigadier Commander must be assigned by us. In addition, after the war, middle and low-ranking officers of the Ningma Army must enter the military academy for rotation training! Cai Yun said.

Ma Fulu nodded, Ma Jiajun's semi-secession of this form will definitely not be allowed in the Western Sichuan Army, and the Western Sichuan Army requires absolute control of the army. However, it is very good to be able to get such a result. At least, the Ningma Army was able to occupy the establishment of two brigades in western Sichuan. It's already a very strong force.

"Young marshal, chief of staff, Ma Fulu's life will be handed over to West Sichuan from now on!" Ma Fulu said solemnly.
