Jia Rong led the army to gallop all the way, until the people were tired and the horses were tired, he ordered to rest, walked into the carriage and saw that Wei Fu was fine, and his face was not as pale as before, Jia Rong put his mind at ease, and left the carriage after asking the doctor.

As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, Jia Rong found that there was a tiger-looking young man next to the carriage who was constantly looking at him, and he couldn't help but step forward with curiosity.

"What's your name, little friend? How old are you? Jia Rong asked with what he thought was the kindest smile.

The young man flashed his eyes and replied, "My name is Ma Chao, and I am ten years old this year. ”

Jia Rong was shocked in his heart, and carefully looked at the young man named Ma Chao in front of him, and sure enough, it was Xiliang Ma Mengqi, even if he was only ten years old, the temperament revealed on his body was not to be underestimated, and he had no doubt that the young man in front of him would become a fierce general in the future.

It is said that after traveling for so long, Ma Chao, a teenager who is just ten years old, should be sleepy, but he is alive.

"Well, it's very good, practice martial arts well!" Jia Rong stretched out his hand to touch Ma Chao's head, he also wanted to play a prank, and he had a lot of face in the future, and touched Ma Chao's head with his own hands.

Unexpectedly, Ma Chao dodged flexibly, and looked at Jia Rong with a vigilant face, how could he still have the appearance of a tiger's brain, as if he had become a cunning fox.

Ma Teng, who came from not far away, happened to see this scene, and couldn't help but reprimand: "Chao'er must not be rude, and I haven't seen General Jia soon." ”

Ma Chao was trained, and he pouted dissatisfiedly and came to Jia Rong's side and said, "Ma Chao has seen the general!" ”

Jia Rong smiled, stroked Ma Chao's head and said: "Sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog, and I will definitely become a famous general in the future." ”

Ma Chao was very disgusted with Jia Rong touching his head at first, and when he heard Jia Rong's words of praise, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and Ma Teng on the side was also overjoyed.

Looking at Ma Chao's happy expression, Jia Rong said: "Chao'er must devote himself to practicing martial arts and studying, and in the future, he will become a general who will be in charge of the party and eliminate the thieves and defend the country." ”

Ma Chao nodded as if he didn't understand, and Jia Rong also realized that there was a lot to say, even if he was mature, what could a ten-year-old child understand.

Ma Teng smiled: "Chao'er go to your mother's place." ”

Ma Chao said goodbye to Jia Rong very politely and left in a jump.

Jia Rong said: "How are the soldiers in the army? ”

Ma Teng shook his head and said: "The five hundred soldiers of the Humble Duty Headquarters are fine, the rest of the hearts are fluctuating, and dozens of soldiers have fled on the way to the march. Speaking of this, Ma Teng's face turned red, after all, the army was brought out by him, and the appearance of deserters was the biggest dereliction of duty of the general, and he blamed himself in his heart.

Jia Rong nodded and said, "I already know about this, you go and gather all the soldiers, I have something to say." ”

Ma Teng clenched his fists and left as promised.

In his heart, Jia Rong has regarded Ma Teng as his own person, and it is enough to rely on the fact that Ma Teng is the life-saving benefactor of the Xiliang Army, not to mention that there is now Ma Chao, a fierce general in the future, who must firmly trap Ma Teng on the chariot of the Xiliang Army.

Looking at the neat Xiliang Army and the crooked Ma Tengbu soldiers in front of him, Jia Rong had mixed feelings, once upon a time, the Xiliang Army was also such a team, and then was trained step by step to become an elite soldier.

After Jia Rong coughed to attract the attention of all the soldiers, he said in a deep voice: "Many of you are not willing to follow the army, I understand this. ”

"Those who are unwilling to stay stand in the direction of my right hand, and those who are willing to stay remain in place, I, Jia Rong, promise here, that I will never force you." Jia Rong continued.

Ma Teng was shocked when he heard this, now the Xiliang Army is short of troops, more soldiers are more bargaining chips, the soldiers he brought, Ma Teng is still very self-aware, like this escape trip, few soldiers are willing to stay, except for more than 200 soldiers brought out from their hometowns.

Seeing the expressions of many people who showed interest, Jia Rong continued: "This is a chance for zuihou, I will treat him as a brother if I choose to stay, and I will not be embarrassed if I leave." ”

"Ugly words are ahead, if you choose to stay but leave secretly, once you find out, there will be no forgiveness!" His expression suddenly sharpened, and Jia Rong said loudly.

More than 500 soldiers of the Xiliang Army remained motionless, their eyes were fixed on Jia Rong, Fang Cai's words had no attraction to them, they had passed the era of swaying from side to side.

A soldier trembled and walked to the direction of Jia Rong's right, and his face couldn't help but blush in front of everyone's eyes, on the battlefield, deserters will always be looked down upon, and the truth will remain unchanged through the ages.

Seeing that nothing had changed, many soldiers mustered up the courage to move in the direction of Jia Rong's right hand, without exception, their faces were flushed, and as the number of soldiers who chose to leave gradually increased, they raised their lowered heads and regained their expressions.

The soldiers who chose to leave, Jia Rong did not embarrass as promised, just let them leave the weapons and armor on their bodies, and then let them leave, as for the food, not a single grain can be taken away, Jia Rong believes that Cheng Qiu, who is closely following, will take in these soldiers.

Jia Rong didn't want these soldiers to be able to immediately enter the battlefield after encountering the Wuwei army led by Geng Wei on the way back, and if they could weaken the enemy, they would not be relentless.

Looking at Ma Teng, who wanted to stop talking, Jia Rong persuaded: "The soldier's heart is not here, once the battle starts, it will only drag down our army, and the marching speed of the infantry is slow, no more than the cavalry can travel hundreds of miles in a day." ”

"What's more, our army is short of food and grass in a hurry, leaving these people will only be a burden, it is better to let them go, and it is still a personal favor." Jia Rong explained.

Ma Teng sighed and stopped talking, knowing that what Jia Rong said was reasonable, but seeing with his own eyes that his former subordinates chose to leave, he was still a little depressed in his heart, and Ma Teng felt warm for Jia Rong to be able to explain, which showed that he had entered Jia Rong's circle and was officially recognized by Jia Rong.

Coupled with the captured war horses and ownerless war horses, Jia Rong and his party were all armed again, and all the weapons in their hands were only picked by Haode, which was aimed at the soldiers of the Ma Teng Department, and the rest were buried, maybe they would be of great use in the future.

After the initial discomfort, the infantry led by Ma Teng was able to ride on the war horse safely, and Jia Rong did not require them to be able to fight on the war horse like the cavalry, without slowing down the marching speed.

Seeing the excited expressions of his own soldiers, the unhappiness in Ma Teng's heart also disappeared, on the premise of being a cavalry, no one wants to be an infantryman, the power of cavalry has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of soldiers, not only the difference in marching speed, but also the irreplaceable combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

Seeing the strength of the Xiliang cavalry, Ma Teng had the intention to form a cavalry, and now the most difficult war horse to solve was handled by Jia Rong in a few words, Ma Teng also gave birth to a big idea, Ma Teng is a master of horse warfare, compared to the Qiang people who grew up on horseback, it is not inferior, but growing up on horseback and the training of cavalry are two different things, just like a person who has a bunch of gold mountains but does not know how to use it.

Although Jia Rong did not promise to give the war horses to himself on the surface, as long as the training is good, is it still worried that Jia Rong will not add these war horses to his hands, in the final analysis, the main problem is how to train the infantry on these horses, Jiang Yu has become Ma Teng's biggest breakthrough point, as the cavalry general of the Xiliang Army, how can he not understand the principle of training cavalry.

At the critical moment, Jiang Yu did not hide his selfishness, and personally instructed the soldiers of the Ma Teng Department how to control the war horse and how to maintain the movements on the war horse.

This kind of temporary training is very cruel, one soldier after another fell from the horse to the ground, and then stubbornly climbed on the horse's back, there are pursuers behind, can not stop at all to do a careful explanation, everything can only let the soldiers continue to fall and get up in the groping.

After clearing the burden, Jia Rong was in a good mood, the speed of the cavalry was not something that the infantry in the city could catch up, Jia Rong was not worried about the Wuwei cavalry catching up, but thinking about how to take revenge, and it was not Jia Rong's style to endure the loss, not to mention the loss of more than 400 cavalry in the city this time.

Those who attacked him at the city gate must also be investigated, as well as the middle-aged swordsman in white clothes.

Thinking of this, Jia Rong couldn't help but curse secretly, is Wuwei's Immortal Love Pavilion a vegetarian, he didn't notice such a big movement of the army in the city, and Jia Rong's thought decided the fate of the director of Wuwei Immortal Pavilion.

"The matter of Wuwei must be investigated clearly, and find a way to pass the news to Zhang Xiu in Jincheng." Jia Rong said.

Zhang Zhi clenched his fists and responded: "No! ”

When it comes to Wuwei, Zhang Zhi is also gritting his teeth, the lone wolf has never suffered such a big loss since his debut, and Zhang Zhi is unfortunately the leader of the team this time, and he is duty-bound.

All the soldiers mounted their horses and hurried in the direction of Jincheng.

Within two days, the group encountered the first wave of enemies, and on the battlefield, Jia Rong habitually scattered all the scouts, and the team without scouts and spies was no different from the blind.

After listening to the scout's report, Jia Rong couldn't help frowning, the enemy army was about more than 1,000 people, in the past, more than 1,000 infantry, Jia Rong would not take it seriously, the key was that the 10,000 soldiers of Cheng Qiu's department chased after him as if they had been drugged.

"All stopped!" Jia Rong ordered.

The herald quickly conveyed that the equestrian skills of the Xiliang cavalry were high, but the infantry of Ma Teng was not, the interest in the first contact with the war horse had passed, and many soldiers had shown a look of fear, and in the past three days, they also understood that the cavalry was not so easy to do, and there was a suspicion of falling off the horse if they were not careful, and the effect of such temporary training was still very significant, and all the soldiers could keep running at high speed on the war horse without falling.

Clamping the horse's belly with both legs is simple to say, but in fact it is extremely painful, imagine the war horse told the run, just the friction of the legs is a big problem, all the infantry's legs have been worn out, and Ma Teng is still constantly encouraging morale.

Without too many words, Ma Teng only said the treatment of the Xiliang cavalry to these soldiers, which greatly aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers, the soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, and they are also soldiers, and no one wants their treatment to be worse than others, especially when they become robes with the Xiliang cavalry in the future, and chat with each other about military salaries, the low salary will only be looked down upon.
