"A rabble? They are not. After hearing Zhao Yun's evaluation of the Liangzhou princes, Ma Chao smiled arrogantly and waved his hand, "You take the troops to Jincheng for a walk, they can eat you alive, and half of the Central Plains soldiers will die before they reach Jincheng." But here, Liang Xing can't. ”

Ma Chao, who was walking leisurely in Guanzhong, smiled, and did not tell Zhao Yun why Liang Xing couldn't do it, he raised his horsewhip and pointed into the distance and said: "Longxian, if Han Sui plans to defend Hanyang, he will definitely be in Longxian County, Chen Bu's army, let Bozhan go to find out the truth first." If the enemy army Chen Binglongxian County, you will first enter Wudu and Tie Tie to hold a position, and the enemy army in Hanyang will have my own Ma Meng to block it; If the enemy army is not in Longxian, we will be able to occupy the second county this winter, and drive Uncle Han back to Jincheng next year!" ”

Ma Tie led the troops from Hanzhong to Wudu, which was a matter of the past. Although Zhao Yun nodded to Ma Chao again and again, he was extremely surprised that Ma Chao called Han Sui Uncle Han, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to ask puzzledly: "They led the troops to capture Liangzhou, and then gave up Longguan like this, why?" ”

"What why, what else does this need to do? Even if the door of Longguan is wide open, can the Central Plains soldiers enter Liangzhou? Ma Chao laughed, patting the ground and slapping his breastplate, "Uncle, he didn't mean to capture Liangzhou, but they didn't have anything to eat, so they could only come out to rob it, you lost Hanyang Anding, grab enough food, even if you don't fight them, you have to go back to Jincheng." ”

Liangzhou is located on the plateau, and the Central Plains troops entering Liangzhou will have a great reduction in combat strength in some terrains.

"Why do you want to go back, Hanyang is the richest place in Liangzhou, you can strengthen the army, you can plough and fight, the west is the foundation of Jincheng and the east is the gate of Longguan, give up this Jincheng?" It was Chen Qun who spoke this time, and he couldn't understand it, "Why is this?" ”

"Why? They came here to eat, not to help people farm. A problem that can be solved by fighting a battle every autumn, why should you occupy the stability of Hanyang and attract troops to the Central Plains to attack? Ma Chao didn't understand Chen Qun's thoughts, "No matter how bad Liangzhou is, it's better than the Central Plains!" ”

A battle every autumn can solve the problem?

Chen Qun and Zhao Yun looked at each other, but they only frowned. Youzhou Yan Zhongqing is forced by life to be a bandit, and Lu Fengxian is a side plug Hu Feng is a disaster everywhere, and Liangzhou may have both, which caused most of them to have this idea. Chen Zhao and the others found that the princes of Liangzhou did not seem to have the same ambition as the princes of the Central Plains, and even heard some agreement from Ma Chao's words.

Chen Qun let out a long sigh and said to Ma Chao: "Maybe you're right, Liangzhou is always fighting, where is it fighting, isn't it?" ”

"Maybe?" Ma Chao glanced at Chen Qun and said with great disdain: "Stranger, I know us better than you. ”

Chen Qun no longer answered, in this matter, it is true that Ma Chao understands more correctly, because he is from Liangzhou. But it also made him a little contemptuous of Ma Chao or Liangzhou people, the people who despise the people on the side and the people who despise them, this contempt is their short-sightedness!

Is it possible to be a rebel and bandit in Jincheng for the rest of his life? What's the point of their rebellion?

Chen Qun understood that these Liangzhou people were full of contradictions. They are Han Chinese, but they do not identify with Han Chinese; raised an army for rebellion, but had no ambition to be the king of the world; They want food, but they don't want to farm.

But what cannot be ignored is the fierce combat power of the people of Liangzhou. The Xizhou soldiers are in the Central Plains and have an unstoppable deterrent, and even more so in the remote Liangzhou!

Within a few days, Ma Dai, as the vanguard, led the army westward into Hanyang County, and fought a battle with Liang Xing, who was camping and resting, in Qinting, and the two sides suffered casualties on both sides, but in the end Ma Dai took advantage of them. Later, Liang Xing retreated into Longxian, and before besieging the city, Ma Dai had already sent someone to report to Ma Chao in Longguan, saying that there were not too many enemy troops in Hanyang County, and asked Ma Chao and Zhao Yun to directly send troops to reoccupy Hanyang.

"Let's go, Liang Xing entered Longxian County, and sent troops to deploy defenses in the Shangqi area, they plan to leave Hanyang." Ma Chao raised his chin and asked Zhao Yun and Chen Qun: "What are your plans, if you want to cut off their back road and achieve battle exploits, now send troops with me; If you don't dare to fight them, you can go to Longxian to preside over the winter. The Jincheng soldiers will rob everything in the city, and I don't know how many people will freeze to death in winter! ”

Ma Chao said this with a sense of schadenfreude, he has no mercy, he has no ability to protect his own people, no matter what the fate is, it is not enough to be respected by others.

In fact, he didn't give Zhao Yun any extra choice, Zhao Yun nodded and said: "So far, what can you do if you don't attack the Qiang soldiers to take back the baggage?" It is a big mistake for Zhao to be a county guard but not be able to protect the territory, if he can't settle the people again, it's not a pity to die! ”

Ma Chao chuckled disappre一门ly, he had no interest in these internal affairs, waved his hand indifferently and said: "It will take three days to send troops to Shangtai, and the Jincheng soldiers will go before us. When they plunder what they want, they will inevitably return to the lack of fighting spirit, as long as they can catch up with this battle, they will win! ”

"Without further ado, the stone artillery carts will be held back, and the cavalry will go first and defeat them!"

Zhao Yun nodded, the longer the contact time, the more he felt that he was not the same person as Ma Chao, he had no sense of responsibility and was emotionally indifferent, he had strength but no mercy for his subordinates, and the only thing that could make him look at it was the ability to use soldiers.

At least Ma Chao is stronger than him in terms of the decision to use troops. After all, this young man, who is not much different from Zhao Yun's age, has been following his father to fight for almost ten years! Such a combat experience is enough to be called a veteran.

A few people finalized the use of troops, and the soldiers and horses came out in large groups, leaving Chen Qun to guard Longguan to guard a large number of siege ordnance, and the army was led by Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to march upward. As he was saying that the division of troops and the headquarters of each department came first from the back of the trail, Longguan got off the horse as if he remembered something, patted his pocket and called Zhao Yun, and set aside a team of cavalry and said: "Give you some people, they are all Ma's elite horses." ”

"Jingqi, what do you do to the clouds?" Zhao Yun has his own soldiers in his hands, and he has made up thousands of them from Guanzhong. "Two cool people who know the road are enough."

"Come on, they're not here to protect you." Ma Chao smiled and waved his hand and left, fifty Liangzhou Jinqi horses stopped, and the guide led by lifted the robe and scarf of Xizhou to cover the wind and sand, revealing a bright and heroic face, and said with a smile: "Zhao Jun, the slave will lead the way for you." ”

Looking at this face, Zhao Yun suddenly felt a little at a loss, he looked at Ma Chao and wanted to ask, he wanted a guide, why did he send his flowery sister.

Ma Yunlu saw his doubt, turned the iron spear in his palm and turned around, and reprimanded: "Zhao Jun doesn't look down on people, slaves can also pick up guns and get on horses, and now they are lieutenant colonels!" ”
