Ma Chaoshang was shocked, and Yang Biao said again: "Oh yes, I found that the people of Liangzhou are too heavy to serve the conscription, and I hope that the general can allocate another 2 billion yuan and 500,000 stone grain to reward the conscription." If there is not much money and food, they can also use the public cattle and farming tools for free. ”

As soon as Ma Chao heard this, the opportunity came, and he said: "Recently, Gong Cao of Yang Gong is the number one gold-swallowing beast in my Assassination Mansion. Nearly eighty percent of the money and grain in the treasury have been used to support Yang Gong's project, how can there be extra money and grain to reward the servant? ”

Yang Biao shook it again and said ashamedly: "It's all because the administration is too hasty, and the people are hurting money." ”

Ma Chao said: "However, it is not without a solution. I have the idea of expanding the treasury of money and grain, but I have to work a lot more for Yang Gong. ”

Yang Biao's eyes immediately brightened, and he said, "Please show the general." ”

Ma Chao said: "There are many salt pools in Liangzhou. Nowadays, Hucao and Gongcao are developing lake salt, and the salt obtained does not have to be washed, it is high-quality white salt, and other prefectures must be in short supply. The Assassin Mansion has always wanted to exchange salt for food from the Kanto family. I can only hate how much the Kwantung clan despises my Ma clan and is unwilling to trade. But if Yang Gong came forward in this matter, he would definitely succeed and bring back a large amount of grain to Liangzhou. ”

Yang Biao nodded and said, "With a little false name below, it is not too difficult to persuade the Kanto families to exchange salt for grain. I'll leave this matter to you. ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "There is another matter, which requires Yang Gong to come out in person." Due to the comprehensive replacement of the armament of the Western Liang Army, and because there are too many projects of Yang Gong, there are now few iron hidden in the treasury. I know that there are large iron mines in Wuwei County, as well as gold, silver and copper mines. The matter is very high, and I would like to send Yang Gong to lead Gong Cao to personally go to Wuwei County to preside over and supervise the mining affairs. ”

Yang Biao was a little puzzled and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough for such a big event." Why didn't the general go there himself? ”

Ma Chao said: "Oh, my father wants to send me to Longxi and Tianshui to divide the land as Ma's real estate. My father wants to sit in Jincheng, and my brother Ma Dai is in the army, only I have nothing to do, and I have no power to conquer Han Sui recently, so I can only go to occupy the land myself. ”

Yang Biao did not doubt it, and said: "Since this is the case, then I will obey my fate." ”

Ma Chaoda was satisfied, and finally let Yang Biao go.

Ma Chao said: "If Yang Gong is free recently, he will go to Wuwei County as soon as possible." I am worried that if iron cannot be smelted before January this year, the people of Liangzhou will not have new sickles and ploughshares. ”

When Yang Biao heard that the situation was so serious, he immediately said: "Okay, tomorrow I will leave immediately and go to Wuwei County." ”

Ma Chao smiled and said, "How fortunate is it that my Liangzhou can be governed by Yang Gong?" ”

Yang Biao said: "The general has won the award." ”

After Yang Biao left, Ma Chao summoned Ma Dai, Zhang Xiu, Pang De, Zhang Ji, Ju Yi, Duan Xuan, Jia Xu, and Yang Fu and said: "On October 1, we will go to Hexi. ”

The crowd was slightly startled, but immediately said, "Yes!" ”

Ma Chao said: "Jia Xu, Ma Dai, Zhang Xiu, the three of you set out with me, this time leading 30,000 horsemen, vowing to defeat Han Sui within 20 days and recover Hexi." ”

The three of them said: "Wow! ”

Ma Chao said again: "Pang De, Zhang Ji, Duan Xuan, Yang Fu, the four of you stay in Liangzhou, beware of Huangfu Yizhen and Dong Zhongying." ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that everyone had a task, Ju Yi said anxiously, "Young master, what will we do?" ”

Ma Chao said: "How did you train in the first camp? ”

Ju Yi said proudly: "The beginning of the battle, can fight ten thousand horses!" ”

Ma Chao hammered his palm and said, "Okay! You will also follow me to Hexi! ”

"Thank you, young master!" Ju Yi shouted happily.

Ma Chao said: "You wait for the three generals, order 30,000 horsemen and the first camp today, and rush to Qiangzhong." I mean, Qiangzhong is sparsely populated, so you can avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and even more so the eyes and ears of Han Sui. Then our army came out of Qiangzhong, went to Qilian Mountain, and raided Hexi! ”

"Whoa!"

………………………………

Yang Biao did not break his promise, and the next day he rolled up the cover, and took most of the craftsmen with Gongcao to Wuwei County, which is located in the north of Jincheng County, Ma Chao in order to dispel Yang Biao's suspicions, and sent Yang Biao in a decent manner.

After bidding farewell to Yang Biao, Ma Chao immediately led the guard battalion to Longxi County. There, Ma Chao secretly went to Qiangzhong.

On October 1, on the grassland in Qiangzhong, 30,000 horsemen and 800 pioneers had been waiting for a long time. Ma Chao prepared three horses for each cavalry to transfer to, ensuring that the army continued to multiply.

This time, Ma Chao was determined to emulate Hitler's blitzkrieg tactics, led 30,000 cavalry to attack Hexi, quickly conquered the main cities of the four counties of Hexi, captured Han Sui, and then quickly returned to Longdi, which was 3,000 miles away from Hexi, to resist the 100,000 cavalry of Huangfu Yizhen.

On the endless grassland, 30,000 horsemen lined up neatly, and the strong wind blew the banner of "Shenwei General Horse" and the red flag was blown by the wind. Ma Chao rode on Xiaobai's back, looked back at the back of the 30,000 Xiliang Iron Rider who was ready to go, his blood was boiling, and his heart was unsettled.

This battle was the last battle to completely eliminate Han Sui, the last battle to completely occupy Liangzhou, the first battle to fight with Huangfu Song, the first general in the world, and the first battle to break with the imperial court! Ma Chao knows how important this battle is, and he also knows how difficult this battle will be.

But no matter what, 30,000 horses are already here, and Ma Chao is also here.

Ma Dai looked at Ma Chao with a solemn and ambitious face adoringly, and said firmly: "Big brother, give the order!" ”

Zhang Xiu was also eager to try and shouted: "Yes, my brother's heart has been itching for a long time, just waiting for this moment to come!" Brother, please give the order! ”

Ma Chao glanced at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu said with a smile: "The young master doesn't have to worry, the soldiers have already brought enough food for ten days, and the lord has already transported enough food for twenty days to Xianmei City, the westernmost part of Wuwei County, before the tenth day." Our army will not be short of supplies. ”

"Okay, let's go!"

"General's order, go on the march!"

The heralds shuttled back and forth in the military formation, conveying Ma Chao's orders to every corner.

"Whew!" Ma Chao personally picked up a bull's horn and blew the horn. The melodious and low sound of the horn instantly ignited more than 30,000 cold hearts like a raging fire.

The barbaric Xiliang soldiers raised their broken gold knives one after another, wielding them wantonly, screaming excitedly in their mouths. The golden blade of the Broken Gold Knife reflected a faint golden light in the sunlight. The black fish scale armor of the basin collar armor also reflected a dazzling silver light.

Ma Chao gently kicked Xiao Bai in the abdomen with both feet, and Xiao Bai immediately stepped out of two zhang like an arrow from the string, taking the lead, and ran towards the direction of the setting sun, which was the direction of Qilian Mountain. After passing the Hexi Corridor under the Qilian Mountain, he entered Zhangye County, which was controlled by Han Sui.

"Woo!" The Xiliang soldiers patted their mounts with their blades, and quickly followed behind Ma Chao's banner and rushed towards Hexi.
