Xiliang.

Since the battle with Ma Chao that day, Xu Huang has continued to carry forward his tactical style.

Steady and steady, slowly advancing......

Once, Jia Xu was ordered to go to Xiliang and had already occupied several small cities, and Xu Huang used these cities as a base point to conquer the city and stabilize the rear at the same time.

The disadvantage is that the speed of advancement is not fast enough.

But there are also advantages - that is, every time he occupies the city and collects the pawns, Xu Huang can turn it into "his own" as quickly as possible.

The night before Wang Wei captured Yecheng.

The stability of Xu Huang's garrison once again ushered in the attack of Ma Teng Han Sui.

In the distance, the galloping horses brought up monstrous smoke and dust, and the roar could be heard clearly even if it was dozens of kilometers away. Xu Huang got up and came to the city, and he could see in the distance, Ma Chao was rushing with nearly 100,000 cavalry.

Seeing this, Xu Huang couldn't help but sigh.

A hint of doubt welled up in my mind.

"Zhang Xiu, this Ma Chao, how many soldiers are there in our hands?"

On the side, Zhang Xiu replied: "It's nearly 30w huge!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiu also smiled and snorted: "The pawns have been partially reorganized, and the war horses have been sent back to Chang'an." Now, we don't have a shortage of war horses. ”

This data really made Xu Huang a little confused.

There are already 300,000 soldiers buried on this battlefield, but even so, this Ma Chao can still draw more than 100,000 cavalry......

Ma Teng Han is so rich?

may have seen Xu Huang's entanglement, and on the side, Zhang Xiu said with a smile.

"Actually, the general doesn't know that this Xiliang realm is different from the Central Plains...... The Qiang and Han people live together in the western Liang, and the population is even the largest in Qiang! With a little training, these nomads were good cavalrymen, and they were the ones who brought their own horses. In such a place where all the people are soldiers, it is not surprising that Ma Chao can pull out such a number of cavalry. ”

Xiliang is poor and has a backward economy, but it is also an indisputable fact that the cavalry and excellent war horses are produced to fight well.

Not to mention......

The nomads outside the territory of the Han Dynasty are simply inexhaustible, and they are still the kind that do not feel distressed when they die.

If there is no one, go to fight the autumn wind, spend money to buy soldiers with a better personality, and rob those who are bad.

Don't doubt whether these warlords in Xiliang have this ability.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xiliang was also a place that made a lot of noise, and Liangzhou Sanming became famous by cleaning up the Qiang people - and the Qiang people are basically one of the most powerful alien races around the Han Dynasty, and they can't find the north by the Eastern Han Dynasty who is about to pull their hips......

In this place, the Han family is a proper big brother!

It can be seen that Xiliang is indeed an extremely high-quality recruiting place.

As soon as Zhang Xiu's chatterbox opened, he couldn't stop.

"I was born in Xiliang, and I deeply understand the fierceness of the people here, not to mention those Qiang people, even our Han women, if you are in a hurry, you can be temporarily conscripted into the army......"

"And it's on the edge of the Han dynasty. We have also been in contact with the Western Regions and the Northern Grasslands before...... The lord sent troops to attack Xiliang this time, and I think it is an excellent choice...... Because with the power of the lord, I am afraid that it is a bit condescending to calm this troubled world, and expanding the territory is what our great husbands should do. ”

Zhang Xiu patted Wang Wei remotely, Xu Huang nodded lightly when he heard it, looking at Ma Chao who began to call the formation below, Xu Huang waved his hand, and Zhang Xiu led people down the city.

……

The outcome of this battle is no different from before.

Ma Chao called out......

He was defeated by Zhang Xiu......

Then the Xiliang cavalry group under Zhang Xiu charged, scattering the men brought by Ma Chao.

War horses gathered a large number.

Weapons and equipment, Xu Huang didn't even ask for it - these Qiang people's weapons and equipment are really rubbish.

The soldiers gathered a large number, about these people, Xu Huang was ready to brainwash them, so that they could be used as reserve soldiers - it is also strange to say, since Xu Huang went out on the expedition, he only brought 5w men and horses, but the war has been fought so far, the number of people in his hands has not decreased but increased, and the number of soldiers who have taken refuge has even been 3w large, and there are more soldiers who are detained in prisoner of war camps.

But these people, Xu Huang, didn't dare to deal with it.

Seeing that there are more and more prisoners of war in hand, although the food sent from Chang'an is very sufficient, in the long run, these 100,000 prisoners of war are also a big burden......

It is also easy to bomb the camp.

Thinking about these messy things, Xu Huang returned to the main account from the front line, and just dealt with some official business, but the voice of the soldiers came from the door.

"General, someone from Chang'an came and said that he was ordered by General Wang, and he also brought General Wang's handwriting."

Xu Huang was excited, cheered up and said.

"Hurry up, please."

……

It didn't take long for a middle-aged scribe to walk in from outside and stand in front of Xu Huang.

Xu Huang took a look.

But I saw that the person who came was of medium stature, dignified in appearance, and vaguely, and there was a kind of nobility on his body - Xu Huang, who used to serve in Chang'an, naturally understood that the smell of this person was undoubtedly the arrogance of those family members.

"You ......"

Xu Huang asked like this, but the scribe in front of him respectfully made a gesture - arrogance does not mean that he is rude, this person's attitude is still good.

"In Xia Yang'an, in the name of General Wang, I came to deliver a letter to General Xu."

After Yang An finished speaking, he took out a letter from the placket of his clothes.

Opening the letter, Xu Huang read it carefully, and his face slowly showed joy.

Wang Wei's letter to Xu Huang was fairly simple.

first agreed with Xu Huang's cautious attitude - it was said that Xu Huang did not make any mistakes, although the speed of progress was slower, but the result was good, which was enough.

For people who really do things and do real things, Wang Wei's attitude has always been quite beautiful......

But well......

Wang Wei also pointed out the shortcomings in Xu Huang's work.

Actually, you can be faster - that's probably what it means, of course, Wang Wei won't say it directly.

He only said that Xu Huang's manpower may not be enough, and the post-war work delayed the speed of advancement, in view of this, Wang Wei urgently transferred an entire staff group to Xu Huang.

And the leader is Yang An in front of him.

Putting down the letter, Xu Huang looked up at Yang An, but saw that Yang An was also smiling.

"Under ......"

"Sir, but you're from the Hongnong Yang family?"

Xu Huang spoke first, but heard Yang An smile.

"This is not important, the important thing is that from now on, I will serve in the hands of the general, and I ask the general to take care of ......."

This Yang An gave Xu Huang's first impression was not bad, and because of this, Xu Huang did not skimp on his compliments.

"Sir humbled himself, humbled himself...... Come, Ergou, prepare the wine and food, and I will have a few drinks with my husband. ”

Hearing this, Yang An also laughed.

"Since the general has been invited, then I have no choice but to be respectful and obey my orders."
