Chapter 278

Ma Chao led the army to rescue Ma Teng and Cheng Gongying, and after killing Hu Qi, he ordered people to put out the fire and simply set up camp in Huqi's camp. Ma Chao and others simply lived in tuzexiong's camp.

Ma Teng's wound has been carefully treated. It doesn't matter. He looks at Ma Chao and pretends to be serious: "chao'er, you are such a rash boy. When you are only 15 years old, you dare to lead your brother to fight with your family soldiers?"

Ma Chao said with a smile: "Ganluo of Qin Dynasty worshipped the prime minister when he was 12 years old. How could he not be a general when he was 15 years old?"

Ma Dai on one side also said with a smile: "uncle, you don't know that the elder brother has a good example in leading the army to fight. He took us all the way to look for uncle's army. When he saw Uncle in a bitter battle tonight, he led dozens of us to attack the camp at night."

Ma Teng can't help sighing when he hears this, and then looks at Ma Chao with a rather gratifying look: "that's right. If it wasn't for chao'er, you'd lead troops to rescue, it's really hard to say whether the two armies will win or lose today."

Cheng Gongying also solemnly raised the wine Baron in his hand, and said to Ma Chao, "General Ma, thank you today. Otherwise, the nearly ten thousand generals and men are only afraid of bad luck. I'd like to give a toast to General Ma."

Ma Teng's generals and academies thought of today's bloody battle. They were all frightened. They were also grateful for Ma Chao's timely help. Therefore, the generals and commanders raised their wine barons and toasted Ma Chao.

Ma Chao smiles and raises the wine Baron: "thank you very much. I'd like to do something first."

After all, he drank it all at once. Most of the soldiers were brave men. Seeing that Ma Chao was not only astonishing in his bravery, but also so heroic in drinking, he cheered one after another, and each drank the wine from his cup to the sky.

Ma Chao put down the wine Baron and said to Ma Teng: "father, the disaster of Qiang people is Liangzhou. Gong Boyu, Han Sui and others led the Qiang people to make trouble. However, the state herdsmen appeased the Qiang people. Now they have gathered together to make trouble. The child asks to go and arrest him."

When Ma Teng heard Ma Chao's words, he could not help frowning and thinking in his heart.

Cheng Gongying said, "brother Shou Cheng, chao'er has some truth. Although Zhou Mu has been pacifying the Qiang people, since these Qiang people dare to make trouble, they must know the lesson of blood."

Ma Teng thought for a long time, and then he said, "well, chao'er, you and I have 3000 soldiers and horses. You should be careful in pursuit and don't be ambushed by the enemy."

Ma Chao was overjoyed and half knelt on the ground: "thank you, father."

Ma Chao asked three thousand steeds from Ma Teng. After a little rest, Ma Chao set out overnight. After questioning the enemy's tracks through the captives, Ma Chao rushed away day and night. The escaping Qiang people never thought that after Ma Chao killed tuzexiong, he still refused to let them go. Before they were prepared, Liangzhou Tieqi had already killed them.

The flag of "horse" flutters in the wind. Wherever Ma Chao goes, all the Qiang people are frightened.

On the third day of August, Ma Chao led his army to raid the small Yanma tribe under tuzexiong, and captured more than 4000 people, including nearly 10000 cattle, sheep and horses.

On the ninth day of August, Ma Chao led a surprise attack on tuzexiong headquarters at night. He killed thousands of enemies and captured Qiang people. Tonight, there were countless cattle, sheep and horses.

……

Ma Chao's killing the chicken and warning the monkey has achieved very good results. All the Qiang people in the border areas are frightened. When they hear the word Ma Chao, they shout "the general of Tianwei God is invincible.".

Ma Teng wrote a letter about the previous war with tuzexiong and Ma Chao's downfall of the Qiang people, and ordered the sentry to be sent to Liu Ye's camp on the outskirts of Chang'an.

"Ha ha ha ha, I said that Dong's bandits haven't made any noise since January. Li Ju is crouching in Chang'an City and dare not come out. Dong Zhuo doesn't send more troops to Guanzhong. It turns out that he wants to encircle Wei and save Zhao." After listening to Xun you, Liu Ye can't help laughing.

Xun you also smiles: "I'm afraid that this strategy is from Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Li Ru. I met him a few times when I was in Luoyang."

Liu Ye nodded: "Li ru Dong Zhuo relies heavily on Li Ru, and they are Weng's son-in-law. It's very difficult for Dong Zhuo to separate the relationship between them. "

When Guan Hai heard Liu Ye's words, he burst into a laugh: "old Dong Zhuo has to be on guard against Lu Bu's Bingzhou army and worry about the northern army's rebellion. If Li Ru goes against him again, he is afraid that our army will kill Guandong and recover Luoyang."

In fact, Dong Zhuo is quite powerful. Liu Ye, who only occupies Liangzhou, can hardly compete with Dong Zhuo. Even if he occupies Guanzhong, he can only resist Dong Zhuo's military front. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo is in the most embarrassing period. His effective forces are constrained by guarding the northern army and the Bingzhou army. Otherwise, another 30000 iron cavalry will rush out to Chang'an, even if Liu Ye is going to be strong and clear-cut Stick to it.

"How should Ma Chao be rewarded for his contribution to the destruction of Qiang people?" Liu Ye asked again.

Xun you thought a little, and said, "you can raise Ma Teng to be the commander of Qiang in the town, and Ma Chao is the captain of breaking the prisoners."

Ma Chao's contribution to being a school captain is more than enough. However, his father Ma Teng was appointed by Liu Ye. In this way, both father and son are equal. In case Ma Chao makes another contribution in the war, it will be embarrassing for him to do more than Ma Teng.

Xun you also said: "Qiang people were defeated by Ma Chao's father and son. Zhou mu can attack Chang'an in this way."

"Oh?"

"Zhou mu can write the story of Ma Chao's breaking down the Qiang people on the book donation, and then order the army sergeant to shoot the silk book into Chang'an city with arrows. If the enemy sees this, they will be panic stricken and the morale of the army will be shaken, and our army will have a chance to win."Hearing Xun you's "psychological tactics", Liu Ye immediately nodded his head to express his approval.

"Well, meaningful, I'll leave it to you."

"Here it is." Zhang jaw clasped his fist and agreed.

Liu Ye asked again, "Wen Ze, how much food and grass are there in the army?"

"The grain and forage in the army can still support the use of January in the State animal husbandry, but after the autumn harvest grain and grass is delivered, it can still support half a year, and there is still a surplus until the end of this year," Yu said

Liu Ye's eyes brightened: "at the end of this year? That's enough. "

If there is no accident, the world's largest grand gathering after the Yellow turban rebellion will soon come. When Dong Zhuo will have to spend most of his energy in the face of the 18 princes in Guandong, his defense in the direction of Guanzhong will inevitably be reduced, and Liu Ye can take advantage of the opportunity to capture Chang'an and seize Tongguan.

"Write back to Ma Shoucheng and ask him to lead 20000 troops here. It's time for these new soldiers to see blood." Liu Ye ordered.

Although the soldiers of Liangzhou are brave and brave, in recent years, wars have been going on, and the elite soldiers are constantly consuming. Therefore, it is necessary to recruit new soldiers. However, although these troops were trained simply, they had little experience in battle.

Just as it happens, Zhang jaw and Yu ban are all in Chang'an. First send them here and Practice for months.
