Chapter 40: Fight against the Cao thief
When Han Sui heard this, he frowned, but he quickly came back to his senses and said to Liang Xing and Ma Yu.
"The two of you go down to prepare for battle, see how many capable soldiers there are in the general, and let the counties below prepare grain and grass."
"The last general will go and prepare."
Liang Xing and Ma Waner wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, bowed down and took the order.
After Liang Xing and Ma Yu turned around and left, Han Sui said in a deep voice to Ma Teng.
"Brother, even if the two of them didn't help Zhao Yun, but the six people who have the best relationship with the two of them have all been arrested by Zhao Yun right now, the two of them will inevitably do something, so how can they still trust the two of them so much?"
Ma Teng didn't answer, just patted Han Sui on the shoulder.
"Although Zhao Yun has captured the land of Tianshui County and Wudu County, but its strength is still too weak in the final analysis, our two families together have 60,000 soldiers and horses, then Zhao Yun is only more than 10,000 soldiers, most of them are recruits with no combat power, not to mention that Liang Xing and Ma Play are also considered big clans in my Xiliang land, and now the great enemy is now, and the army is about to go out, how can you let the big clan lose their hearts."
Ma Teng looked at Han Sui and explained slowly.
After listening to Ma Teng's words, Han Sui suddenly realized.
Ma Teng saw that Han Sui understood, and then said, "This battle is a matter related to the survival of Xiliang, and there must be no mistakes, I will take Meng Qi and Ling Ming as the main generals, and do my best to march eastward with the troops of Xiliang, and when the time comes, your subordinates will be led by Liang Xing and Ma Wan, and our two families will fight against Cao thieves together." ”
Han Sui looked at Ma Yu and Liang Xing who walked out, and he didn't expect his sworn brother to be so wise.
"Brother, then why don't we raise troops to go south now, I will wipe out Zhao Yun in one fell swoop and get rid of this hidden danger, and then we can have two more soldiers from the county, and we can draw more troops to the east."
Han Sui pondered for a while and made a new suggestion to Ma Teng, obviously still unwilling to lose Wudu County, and even more eager to get rid of Zhao Yun, the person who had repeatedly frustrated him.
Ma Teng looked at Han Sui, but said, "Right now, Zhao Yun's subordinates have just captured Wudu County, and their morale has soared, and now that they use troops against him, your army will inevitably suffer some losses, and at this juncture, the overall situation in Xiliang is not good, not to mention ......"
As soon as the words changed, Ma Teng looked at the heroic young man behind him, "Meng Qi, this kid came up with an idea for me and found an enemy for Zhao Yun, which can easily frustrate Zhao Yun's abdomen." ”
Easily frustrated Zhao Yun's abdomen?
Han Sui looked at his nephew in surprise, and a touch of confidence slowly appeared on his young and heroic face, but a strange smile was revealed.
Han Sui did not hide his suspicions at all, and the expression on his face obviously did not believe that the nephew in front of him, Ma Chao, who was known for his bravery and strong martial arts, would have a better strategy than Liang Xing and Ma Wan.
Ma Chao smiled confidently, and said to Han Sui in a somewhat playful tone.
"Uncle Wenyue, don't worry, maybe, when my father and uncle return triumphantly, Zhao Yun, a little thief, has already been eliminated by someone for us."
...
Wudu County, Xiafen City, the new county shou fu.
Zhao Yun sat on the main seat with a happy face, drinking the immortal drunk in his hand, and reading the thick pile of battle reports in his hand, he was in a good mood.
The first is the encirclement and suppression battle of the remnants of Xiliang.
Hou Xuan led 800 elite soldiers of the trapped camp and a force led by Li Kan, from the old Dao City to the north, all the way triumphantly marched, killing Zang Ba and fleeing, subduing countless defeated and fleeing Yang Qiu's troops, and capturing more than 3,000 war horses.
"Hou Xuan, this guy did a good job, he got me back more than 3,000 war horses at once, and this Yang Qiu's subordinates have more than 8,000 Xiliang iron horses, and they have finally all been solved."
The rest of the war reports are all about the expansion of the army.
Since breaking through the old road, Zhao Yun has already owned the land of two counties, and once the list of recruits was posted in the counties, in less than a month, countless young men came to join the army.
In addition to the newly recruited sergeants, plus the surrendered Yang Qiu's soldiers, counting Zhao Yun's original soldiers and horses, in less than a month, Zhao Yun has more than 1.5w soldiers in Wudu County, and there are more than 5,000 cavalry members.
Now that the territory is expanding, the number of soldiers and horses under his command has increased, Zhao Yun's wings have gradually plumped, and the most important thing now is to precipitate for a period of time, let his soldiers be rich and wide, wait for an opportunity, and then seize the opportunity to further plot the land of Sichuan and Shu.
At this moment, the Xinshang Chamber of Commerce, which had already opened to the Guanzhong area of Yongzhou, that is, the anthill, came with a message:
Cao Cao led troops to attack the land of Xiliang, Ma Teng had to join forces with Han Sui, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie stayed in the land of Xiliang, while Han Sui left Ma to play and garrisoned Longxi County, and personally led an army of 30,000 and Ma Teng to Hangu Pass to stop Cao Cao's westward advance.
"Cao Cao really did me a great favor, so that Han Sui will not be able to spare his hands to trouble me for the time being, and Ma Teng's vital power can also be weakened, not bad."
And in this rare leisure time, Zhao Yun did not really be idle, but personally persuaded Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin, Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng, with the help of Yang Qiu, Hou Xuan and Jiang Xu began to race against time to train soldiers and expand the team, while Yang Fu and Jiang Jian were preparing for grain and grass, and began to prepare for Zhao Yun and Xu Shu's next plan.
And Pang De still refused to surrender, and was imprisoned in a mansion by Zhao Yun with good food and drink.
In less than a month, Zhao Yun gathered more than 3,000 soldiers, and the soldiers and horses under his command finally exceeded 20,000.
This number has reached the limit of the soldiers that can be supplied by the two counties, and Zhao Yun is very happy to issue another decree.
"Wudu, Tianshui and Tianshui counties each recruited 5,000 Tuntian young people, set up a Tuntian military system, implemented the uniform field system, collected seven points of land from the wealthy families, and the people divided the land equally, and the tax was changed to twenty taxes and one."
As soon as this decree came out, the people of the two counties were even more grateful to Zhao Yun as the new ruler, and at the same time, what made Zhao Yun even happier was that he actually found Ma Jun who traveled to Xiliang.
After seeing Ma Jun, an NPC, Zhao Yun immediately took out a design drawing of the system reward after his troops reached 20,000, which was the design of the "Keel Waterwheel" and the "Weaving Machine", which immediately attracted Ma Jun.
Zhao Yun brought Ma Jun to the set of equipment designed by himself to produce immortal drunkenness, and Ma Jun immediately regarded Zhao Yun as a celestial and served Zhao Yun.
He looked at Ma Jun, who could be said to be the most famous inventor in the entire Three Kingdoms period, and talked to him about the idea of trebuchet.
