Ma Jian basically has no element of fear, and the world can't scare him after seeing the wind and waves.

He was just a little surprised that such a big country as Cao Wei had been reduced to the point where it needed to recruit Qianghu people to fight.

The northern Qianghu people are not good stubble, and it is dangerous to hire them to fight for you. You can die on the battlefield or you can die on the betrayal of those below. The Qianghu people only look at profits, and don't care about anything else at all. Once you don't have enough money for your military, they will rebel in minutes.

The main thing is that recruiting Qianghu people to cross the border is a high-risk affair in itself. These Hu people, who have no military discipline to speak of, may turn around and loot Ling's village at any time.

So theoretically, as long as Cao Wei could still draw some troops to deal with him, it would be impossible to hire the Qianghu people.

From this point, Ma Tan could basically conclude that the emptiness in Guanzhong was far beyond his imagination.

"It seems that Cao Zhen is also being forced to be anxious, right? It's funny. Ma Tan patted the dust off his armor and squinted to himself.

He suddenly had a bold idea......

However, his bold idea did not last long, for soon another prospect came in a hurry.

"General! The vanguard of the Wei army appeared on the front line of martial arts in the south! According to the direction they came, it should be the main force of the Wei army coming from Weishui! ”

"There are also Wei troops on the Weishui front?" Ma Jian was a little surprised, and then he thought about it and suddenly became surprised.

The Wei army is planning to encircle and suppress him in the south and the north, and completely encircle him to death in the area of Guanzhong Sanfu?

At this moment, the place where Ma Tan attacked and disturbed was Guanzhong Sanfu north of Weishui, and the territory of the Qianghu people was to the north. This plain is not big, and if the Wei army dispatches enough troops, it is not impossible to blockade Ma Tan.

Ma Yan understood this, and Liu Yin also saw it clearly. However, he reacted quickly and quickly suggested to Ma Yan.

"General Fuguo, the Wei army wants to unite with the Qianghu people to surround us and die in the Sanfu area. This plan is very vicious, but there are still many omissions in it. ”

"There is a certain plan, only a few grain and coins are needed to defeat the Qianghu people in the north for the general."

"Oh? You don't want to follow Cao Cao's tricks of breaking the text and ugliness on the white horse, using grain and money as bait to lure the Qianghu people off the horse, and then break through it, right? Hearing Liu Yin's words, Ma Yan raised his eyebrows and asked after a little thought.

"The general is clever! That's exactly what I thought. Liu Yin was stunned for a moment, and then replied with an awkward smile.

His own general is so talented, it seems that he wants to go with him.

At this moment, in Liu Yin's opinion, this is the best way to defeat the Qianghu people at the lowest cost.

After all, the military discipline of the Qianghu people is loose, and they are self-interested and greedy from top to bottom, and they can't be compared with the Han people. As long as a large amount of grain and coins are scattered on the way to the battle, a large number of Qianghu people can be attracted to run away and loot.

Then they fought back, relying on General Ma's unparalleled rushing strength and Long Wuyi's combat power, which was enough to decide the outcome in one battle.

It's a good strategy, and it's an unavoidable one. After all, if they can clean up military discipline, then they won't be called Qianghu people.

"The strategy is good, but I think it needs to be slightly modified!" However, for this strategy, Ma Jian touched his chin, and then shook his head and vetoed.

This can indeed break the Qianghu tribe, but it is difficult to convince the Qianghu people. With their bravery and skill, if they can't be subdued, I'm afraid it won't be long before they make a comeback! ”

"Now that the Wei army has also appeared in Wugong, it may gather north at any time to attack us. If we can't fight the Qianghu tribe in a war, we will never dare to come south again, I am afraid that our situation will be even more unfavorable! ”

"So what does the general mean?" Liu Yin was silent for a moment and asked cautiously.

"I'm going to smash them head-on!" Ma Jian said categorically.

"In this battle, I need to personally lead the troops and horses of my headquarters to fight and defeat the Qiang Hu cavalry in a dignified manner. Not only to defeat them, but also to make them never dare to face our Han cavalry again! ”

At this moment, Xiahou Ba commanded 5,000 Qiang Hu cavalry all the way south, and then joined the 4,000 infantry of Sanfu, and joined forces to go south to find Ma Tan.

The land of Guanzhong Sanfu was established in the Western Han Dynasty in the past, and it is a large area of land in the west of Chang'an. It is basically a large plain, and there are no woods, which is extremely suitable for cavalry operations.

Moreover, it is also the core area of the Qin Dynasty in the past, with countless roads and convenient transportation.

Ma Tan's guerrilla fight in this area is precisely because of this.

Therefore, Xiahou Ba didn't plan to find Ma Jian immediately at first. Instead, he commanded Hu Qi to patrol along Qin Chi Road, preparing to prioritize the protection of the smooth road.

News has come from Yongzhou that Chen Tai is leading 30,000 troops back to help. When Chen Tai arrives on the battlefield, wouldn't it be easier to surround and kill Ma Jian with the united army?

But Xiahouba soon discovered that Ma Jian didn't seem to be so difficult to find.

On the second day of patrolling the Qinchi Road, the Wei army encountered a surprise attack by the Han cavalry.

A cavalry under the banner of Ma Jian attacked the Wei cavalry in an extremely arrogant manner near Qin Chi Road. and killed more than 100 Hu Qi at a very fast speed, and then went to the girl.

This made Xiahou Ba immediately overturn his previous idea and directly gather a large army to pursue Ma Yan.

There were only 2,000 men in Ma Tanding, and he counted more than 9,000 infantry who followed. Xiahou Ba is confident, as long as he is stable and doesn't fall into an ambush, hard pressure can also crush Ma Yan!

Well...... He should have talked to Biqiu Jian.

The 9,000 Wei troops quickly assembled, and the Qianghu cavalry pursued first.

The horses of the Qianghu people in the north are not much slower than the Longyou horses, and they are all extremely fierce light cavalry. pursued all the way along Qin Chi Road, and soon caught up with the wandering Han cavalry.

"They're just ahead! Kill them! Yan Bao, the warlord of Qianghu, was overjoyed when he saw the red banner of Shu Han in front of him.

The grain, money, and silk promised by the Wei people could only be exchanged for the head of Ma Tan and the banner of the Han people. At this moment, he could not be happy to see the appearance of the target.

"Catch up! Kill them all and we'll go back!" ”

"Whew!"

A crowd of huddlers cheered indiscriminately, picking up their bows and arrows and shooting.

The Qianghu people are slightly stronger than the Qiangqi people in Longyou, first of all, they can make bows and arrows. Fighting with heaven and earth on horseback all year round, they are very good at riding and shooting.

In the absence of a Takahashi saddle and double stirrups, they could easily draw a bow and shoot arrows with their hands free on such a bumpy horseback.

A round of arrow rain quickly caught up with the Han cavalry in front, and a few unlucky ghosts were directly hit by arrows and planted their horses.

"! This group of Hu people in the north is really accurate in archery! Ma Tan was a little surprised, but then grabbed the reins and snorted coldly.

"But don't worry, play with them and send them on their way!"
