The plan has been decided, and Ma Chao summoned Pang De, Chouge, Ma Dai and others to withdraw their troops and return to Fufeng in the starry night, leaving Dong Zhuo with a good posture of 'my Ma family is just a working boy and does not take advantage of the imperial court'.

And secretly, Ma Chao quietly gave the shadows scattered in the three counties of Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi a task, that is, to demagogue. No matter what iron bull enters the sea, it is fished out and there are words on the belly; is still pouring bronze people, and the appearance is very similar to Ma Chao; Or simply brag about not paying taxes, and buy off those diviners who give the Ma family a halo on the horse, they all do it at the same time, and strive to make people's hearts float, and their hearts are good for the Ma family.

At the same time, Jia Xu also secretly made a big move, using the mouths of those children who had received the favor of the Ma family to spread the ballads of 'Qiang chaos, Liangzhou mourning, Fengping for 20 years, and Fuboding descendants'. Originally, there was no political tendency in these nursery rhymes, but with the situation of the two counties of Chen Bing Beidi and Xinping of the Dongqiang tribe, some people guessed the meaning of this nursery rhyme:

The Dongqiang tribe is about to attack Liangzhou again, isn't this just in response to the first two sentences of the nursery rhyme? And the last two sentences, it must be a verse that can pacify the Liangzhou Rebellion, Fengping for 20 years, talking about the Han Dynasty Fubo General Ma Yuan's 20 years of exploits to pacify the barbarians, and the latter sentence obviously refers to the descendants of General Fubo, who can also pacify the Qianghu Rebellion!

As a result, the people of the three counties of Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi all set their eyes on the Xiliang Ma family, and suddenly found that after the arrival of this army, it was indeed the autumn that did not commit any crimes, and the territory and the people were safe. In particular, the eldest son of the Ma family also went deep into the hinterland of Qianghu and made great contributions to the stability of the Han Biansai.

At this time, the call for supporting the Ma family is getting higher and higher, not only widely sung in the Liangzhou area, but even floating through the Chang'an Imperial Court, directly to Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Dongwu and other regions. The prestige of the Ma family was suddenly revealed in front of everyone. The princes of the Quartet also set their eyes on the Xiliang Ma family.

At this time, Jia Xu was already on his way to Chang'an. Different from last time, among the Xiliang iron horsemen who guarded him this time, in addition to the regular Xiliang athletes, there were also fifty shadows: they went here to follow the instructions of the young master, put down their eyeliner in Chang'an, and always pay attention to the dynamics of the imperial court.

The army also returned to Fufeng after Jia Xu moved, and this time, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was not damaged, on the contrary, it also brought back no less than 5,000 thieves. As for the material aspect, there are not many. The first is that these thieves themselves do not have a copper plate, and the second is because Xinping County will be under their own rule in the future, and there is no need to make money from Xinping County.

In this battle, Ma Chao not only had a deep understanding of the art of war, but also deeply understood Sun Tzu's words:

"Whoever has a hundred thousand teachers, goes on a journey of thousands of miles, the people's expenses, the public service, the daily expenses of thousands of gold, internal and external disturbances, neglect of the road, and those who are not allowed to do things, 700,000 families."

Ma Chao had only felt this sentence before, but at this time, seeing Meng Da's face like a dead father, his heart couldn't help but wail: Damn, where is this war, it is clearly burning money!

Before, Ma Teng had a little money in his hand, and then Ma Chao made a lot of money, and finally, with the savings of Fufeng County. Ma Chao didn't have the slightest heart for military spending. But now, it was only an attack of 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and it was a quick battle with almost no damage, which made Meng Da a little unbearable.

At this time, Ma Chao learned from the pain, as long as this period of time is calm, he must first stop the operation of the arsenal and get a few fist products to drive the economic growth of the Ma family.

However, on the whole, this battle is still brilliant, great, and especially timely!

After the reorganization of the captives, their combat effectiveness was tested, and their morale was greatly encouraged, which strengthened the idea that these captives swore to die for the Ma family.

In fact, for military reform, in Ma Chao's imagination, this problem does not seem to be very difficult, in Ma Chao's previous life, countless revolutionary predecessors of the era have already set a glorious example, after a number of scholars have sorted out, has formed a complete chain.

First of all, the members of the army must be the main body of the toiling masses, and then the leaders will carry out in-depth ideological education for these soldiers in simple terms, and at the same time carry out vigorous land reform, so that all members of the army can enjoy certain material achievements, and finally there will be all kinds of guidance and inspiration, such as complaining about the landlord's old wealth, remembering the bittersweet and so on, and so on.

If this is done, then the cohesion of the army will basically reach a height that has never been seen before. According to Ma Chao's knowledge, there were indeed several armies that were successfully shaped like this, in addition to the extremely tough combat effectiveness, the military discipline is also ridiculously good, judging from countless examples in later generations, the military's understanding of discipline has reached the level of human instinct, many people would rather die than encroach on the common people, if you compare it with the army model, the Yuejia army can almost be regarded as bandits compared to them.

However, Ma Chao found that he didn't seem to have this ability, first of all, he couldn't do ideological education, he didn't have the ability to create an advanced ideological system, and he could only start a series of simple brainwashing activities at present, so that these poor soldiers knew that it was the Ma family that gave them land, gave them houses, gave them daughters-in-law, and gave them money. Without the Ma Jiajun, you big-headed soldiers will become victims of the chaotic battles of the princes in the troubled times, not to mention property, and even your life will not be saved. Fortunately, these big-headed soldiers are also uneducated, and Ma Chao's brainwashing content is also correct. Therefore, this guy can be said to be loyal and unswerving to the death, as for the court, they don't have this tendon in their eyes.

Secondly, redistribution is also unrealistic, after all, the Ma family at this time is itself a landlord class. If it is said that the landlord Lao Cai is defeated, the first thing to be killed is the Ma family who owns the Ma Family Arsenal, Ma's Farm, and Ma's Ranch. That's not going to work! Thinking about it, Ma Chao's new policy, that is, distributing those ownerless fields to soldiers, in the end, the princes' armies at the end of the Han Dynasty were no better than the Japanese devils and Kuomintang reactionaries, and their combat effectiveness was not so strong.

However, the last point is that the propaganda campaign must be vigorously carried out. In this, Ma Chao is still very confident and feels very necessary.

Therefore, Ma Chao, who was idle during this period, came up with some medals, and wanted to give glory to the outstanding soldiers of this battle on the meritorious platform!

After this, Ma Chao will take them to rob and kidnap again, so that they will not have a trace of doubt. Even, even if Ma Chao wants to raise troops to rebel, these people will support it accordingly!

Because, if you have milk, you are a mother, and a big fist is the last word.
