After Ma Chao succeeded as the head of the Ma family, he attacked the position of general of Ma Teng Zhenxi, and announced on the point field that there would be a camp above the department, and the three departments would be a battalion, with a total of 3,615 people, and Zhonglang would be in charge.

Now Ma Chao is based on military merits, and he is promoted to take Pang De of Guangwei County without blood, as the general of the thief and leads a battalion. Ma Dai was promoted to a partial general and led a department. And the ugly brother has to be rewarded countless times to show his bravery.

For soldiers, generous rewards and materials are not really heartfelt. But the ugly brother has no objection to this, because he knows that he may gradually fade out of this army in the future. His own destination will be the mysterious shadow that grows stronger and stronger.

When Shadow was formed, there were only about 200 people. But at that time, Ma Chao asked Brother Chou to buy a lot of child slaves, and the people in the army taught martial arts, and found a teacher to teach literacy and hyphenation. After more than a year, many people have grown up and joined the Shadow Camp. Moreover, the loyalty and ability of this group of people are more comprehensive and excellent than the first batch, and the ugly brother has to desperately improve his ability on the one hand, and on the other hand, put more attention on controlling these new subordinates.

After the adjustment was announced, Ma Chao once again stood on the medal platform and awarded medals to soldiers with outstanding military merits. This award event is more luxurious and grand than the first time. Although the time was in a hurry, under Ma Chao's instructions, Han Feng almost went crazy and made a set of ceremonies before noon.

Therefore, after the award, the drums were played, and the brigade was lined up in a neat formation, and the officers stepped forward one by one and loudly swore eternal allegiance to Ma Chao, and then knelt down to accept the rank obtained according to military merit, and so on, until every soldier who was promoted by virtue of his military merit.

At this moment, every soldier was so excited that he couldn't find the north. But what shocked them even more was Ma Chao's last finale.

The soldiers had long since discovered that in the barracks square, a stone monument covered with a white cloth had been erected at some point. The soldiers were puzzled every day, and they all guessed what kind of training tricks the lord had made.

But, today, they know. This is not a training program at all, but a monument, a monument with the inscription of those who died in battle for the Ma family!

Ma Chao slowly walked to the bottom of the monument, and suddenly lifted the white cloth, and the names engraved by the axes and chisels on it were suddenly revealed in front of the soldiers: for those names of robes that depend on each other in life and death, and the sound and smile still exist in their minds, the soldiers will never forget. Some even looked at Ma Chao with tears in their eyes.

"The names on this monument are all good sons and daughters who fought for the Ma family! His body was buried in the cold ground, and the liver and intestines of the relatives who were waiting for them at home were broken. Ma Chao said, the excitement and enthusiasm of the square gradually changed, and the bitter and depressed smell began to slowly diffuse.

"But these people didn't die in vain! With their lives, they proved themselves heroic and unrepentant. With his own blood, he shed his loyalty to the Ma family! With his last shout, he roared out the might of the Ma Jiajun! Ma Chao turned his previous painful tone and said these words impassionedly and loudly.

At this time, Ma Chao's eyes were slightly red, and the sincere emotion with a slight cry was revealed, which firmly grabbed the hearts of all the soldiers present. All the soldiers saluted the monument without the command of the general, and at the same time shouted: "Swear allegiance to the lord!" Ma Jiajun is mighty! ”

"Everyone doesn't understand why we want to attack the five counties of Anding, Nan'an, Guangwei, Tianshui, and Longxi. I thought it was just to get military merits, to make my life better. Ma Chao saw that the morale had been mobilized at this time, and the topic changed and began to talk about the motivation for the last battle:

"Now, so-and-so tells you, you are wrong! It's not because of any of that at all! It's because in the land of the 14 Dahan Prefectures other than the three counties of Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi, no one has ever lived the days of Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi County! They have no land, no shops, and they farm every day with those powerful lords, but they can't get a full meal, and they are even more blind, and they are overburdened with taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they are all poorly clothed and hungry! ”

"Many of you can't live because of this. Some of them became outcasts, and some of them became outcasts! It wasn't until you arrived at Ma's house that your fate was changed! ”

"But don't forget, there are tens of millions of people living the same life as you used to!"

"Maybe, you think that the Ma family only needs to live well with themselves, so why bother with how they are doing, right?"

"But I tell you, in this troubled world, you will not rise up and save all the people. Then you will be swallowed up by those noble lords! ”

"They will come to you like vicious dogs to get more delicious food, silkier silks, more beautiful women, bigger territory, and more innumerable treasures of gold and silver!"

"In the past, those Li Kan, Cheng Yin, candidates and the like just couldn't survive anymore and came to attack us. However, there are still many princes outside the Han Dynasty who are much stronger than them and have much more ruthless means than them to attack the Ma family to prevent the Ma family from bringing a happy and healthy life to the vast number of Li people! ”

So, these people didn't die in vain! They are in order to live a better life for more Li people in the 14 states of Dahan, and they have dedicated their young lives to great benevolence and righteousness! ”

"These soldiers who gave their lives to the Ma family and the people of the Han Dynasty, they are all the best soldiers! We can't bring them back to life for their deaths, but we can at least remember their names forever! From today on, the name of everyone who gave their lives for the Ma family and peace will be engraved on this monument! ”

"Every year today, we will pay tribute to their heroic souls here, so that they can see that one day, we will have no more wars!"

Ma Chao roared the above words one by one, and the whole person seemed to be possessed by a god, impassioned, penetrating and infectious. When he said the last sentence, he used almost all the passion and strength in his body, and his handsome and plump face became a kind of mature and hideous beauty in an instant.

"Drink!" All the soldiers shouted in unison, and even some of the soldiers who were not held back by fear on the terrifying battlefield left tears in their eyes.

In the distance, Jia Xu twisted his sparse beard and smiled slightly. But Fa Zheng was caught in thought: In this way, could it be the propaganda brainwashing activity that the lord said? But this incendiary ability, ten of them are not his opponents. No wonder the lord let himself focus on propaganda at the level of public opinion and words......

"In conclusion, I would like to say that the war has not stopped at this time, and our conquest still needs to continue. In the west, Yan Xing had already led a large army to attack the Han and Qiang trading houses, which provided us with wealth such as cattle and sheep, war horses, animal skins, medicinal herbs, and jewelry. In the south, Zhang Lu saw our healthy life and wanted to rob us of our wealth! Ma Chao suddenly turned over and sat on the elephant dragon horse, picked up the coiling dragon crouching tiger gun, and asked fiercely: "Tell me, what should we do?!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Xiliang Tieqi suddenly turned on his horse and raised his gun and shouted.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The Xiliang infantry struggled to knock on the big shield in their hands, and roared like madness.

And in the end, like a black cloud pressing the sun, the Xiliang heavy cavalry surrounded by iron armor appeared, and only one word came out of their dull mouths:

"Kill!"
