Chapter 200 (1/2)

”Hahaha, it doesn't have to be like this. You are so young, and a gun in your hand is not invincible. When you grow up, how about you and me fighting again?”

Liu Ye is very appreciative of this little Ma Chao and can't help but smile.

Ma Chao nodded his head, believing it to be true: ”well, in this case, we will fight another 300 rounds in the future.”

Liu Ye said with a smile to Ma Teng: ”brother Shou Cheng, lin'er's martial arts have already been well established, and he must be a fierce general in the future.”

Ma Teng was ashamed to say: ”dog's character is reckless, where can be what fierce general.”

Ma Xiu, who was hiding behind him, said: ”Dad, General Liu said that the elder brother is a fierce general. You are still a military Sima. It must be Liu general who said that.”

Ma tie also nodded when he saw the situation. Ma Teng's face was embarrassed: ”you two bastards...”

Liu Ye and Zhang jaw laugh, but Ma Chao is a little embarrassed. He is only a teenager in his early ten years old. Although he was born to general Fubo, Ma Teng's generation had already declined. Otherwise, Ma Teng would have been just a military commander?

In fact, Ma Teng was no more than a marquis in the army of Wuwei County. Later, Geng Bi came to Wuwei County and saw that Ma Teng had outstanding martial arts skills and was good at arranging troops. Therefore, he was promoted to be a military commander.

Now that he has been praised by Anxi Zhonglang general, Ma Chao naturally is secretly pleased in his heart.

”Brother Shou Cheng, how about we go in and talk about it in detail?”

After hearing what Liu Ye said, Ma Teng quickly nodded, and then said to Ma Chao, ”take your two younger brothers in. Your father and General Liu have something to say.”

Ma Chao nodded and grabbed the hands of Ma Xiu and Ma tie. The three brothers went into the room.

Ma Teng asks Liu Ye to enter and then sits down.

Liu Ye opens the door to see the mountain and says, ”brother Shou Cheng, what do you think of Geng's draft order?”

Ma Teng frowned: ”maybe Geng went too fast, but Liangzhou soldiers and horses have always been brave and good at fighting, but they may not lose to the Qiang people.”

Since ancient times, the truly powerful army has been the central army and the border army. The central army is well-equipped and can win as long as it is led by experienced generals.

On the other hand, the border army has been fighting against other ethnic groups for many years with rich experience. For example, Bai Ma Yicong of Gongsun Zan was unable to raise his head against Yuan Shao, who once occupied Jizhou. It was not until the first World War of Jieqiao that the border army was relieved.

Xiliang Tieqi is also a synonym for strengthening the army. Dong Zhuo fought against the heroes of Guandong alone with Liangzhou Tieqi. Later, Ma Chao shocked the world by repeatedly defeating Cao Cao in the six battles of Weishui River in Tongguan.

Sure enough, although Ma Teng was a fierce general, it was really simple if he didn't go too far. Otherwise, he would not enter Xuchang with his family later, and was killed by Cao Cao.

In Ma Teng's eyes, the key to victory lies in the strength and food, but it is difficult to understand other factors.

Liu Ye didn't say much. He just told Ma Teng: ”it's understandable that Geng's ambition to make contributions is understandable, but Shoucheng had better persuade him more.”

Ma Teng a Leng, doubt way: ”General Liu thought our Liangzhou army will be defeated?”

Liu Ye sighed: ”Qiang soldiers are always brave and good at fighting, and they are numerous. How can Geng Cishi fight against Qiang people with newly recruited soldiers?”

Ma Teng frowned and said, ”although Geng Chi Shi wanted to recover the land of Liangzhou, he was somewhat hasty, but it was also excusable.”

Liu Ye tapped his fingers on the table: ”the three armies have not moved, and the grain and forage go ahead. The number of newly recruited soldiers in several counties is 20000 to 30000. The grain supply of Liangzhou army has doubled, and most of the newly recruited soldiers are strong laborers in the fields. In this way, the grain production will certainly be reduced this year, and I'm afraid our army will collapse without fighting.”

Ma Teng frowned and said nothing.

Liu Ye stood up and said, ”it's a good thing that Mr. Geng attaches great importance to elder brother Shou Cheng. Elder brother Shoucheng can find an opportunity to persuade him. Maybe he can get rid of his idea.”
