If Chen Yang was also present, you would definitely see that this master, Ma Chao, who had escaped from Jianning, had actually become a horse thief again.

"Original, we have controlled Jincheng, and we have arranged people to take over places like government offices. All the people in the city will not be punished. We will complete them as you told me."

Zhou Shao said: "Several people were going to steal the people, but I killed them with my own hands, and the others would never dare to do so."

Ma Chao said with satisfaction: "You are doing well. Everyone must remember one thing. If you want to become stronger and bigger, you must abandon the habit of being a horse thief. Only in this way can you go further. Otherwise, you can only be a horse thief criticized for the rest of your life, do you know?"

"yes!"

Zhou Shao responded loudly.

The other horse thieves also shouted in unison.

Now is a chaotic world. After so many years of war, I have not calmed down the chaotic world. It is a great opportunity to seize territory.

Ma Chao escaped from Jianning and did not want to defect to anyone anymore.

In this environment, it is better to defect to yourself than to others. As long as you have enough power, you can build your own army and have the final say.

Because of this, he escaped and returned here. He wanted to return to Liangzhou to develop, but unfortunately, Liangzhou and even the Western Regions were now, and he had no way to intervene. Li Yuan and Mi Zhu were inside, making it as solid as a soup.

He thought for a long time and decided to start from Yuezhi and Guanzhong, then recover the horse thieves for a while, and grow the team.

Until this time, Ma Chao felt that his strength was almost done, so he came out to take down Jincheng, then entered Liangzhou, and finally controlled Guanzhong.

The circulation of information among horse thieves is relatively poor because it is difficult for them to contact the outside world. Especially in such a place, if they don’t take the initiative to inquire, he doesn’t know what happened to Chen Yang, and only thinks that the entire Guanzhong is still from the Cao family.

"You must be neat and disciplined as I taught before!"

Ma Chao said loudly again: "In our army, we do not require strong strength and invincibility, but we must have one word, that is strict!"

These are horse thieves, born to be scattered, burned, killed, plundered, and versatile. If they do not strictly control them, these troops will always be a mob and will not be able to enter the hall of elegance.

After fighting so many battles with Chen Yang, Ma Chao also found some rules for Chen Yang to govern the army, and Chen Yang's army was really disciplined and obeying orders, which was very powerful.

"We all know the boss."

Zhou Shao said again.

"The most important thing is to call me General in the future!"

Ma Chao emphasized that only in this way can he no longer be a horse thief.

General!

Zhou Shao and the others were a little excited.

Even a horse thief may become a general and he will never be a thief again.

——

Chen Yang has been paying attention to the Wei and Jin Dynasties in Chang'an. Seeing the information he brought back recently, he felt that Cao Wei should not be a match for Jin.

He did not send troops at this time, nor did he want to help either side. He was waiting for an opportunity that suited him to take action. There was no doubt that it was not an opportunity now, so he could only continue to wait.

"Lord, it's not good!"

Cao Lan suddenly ran in and exclaimed: "What happened in the west of Guanzhong!"

Chen Yang asked, "Is it Wang Ji who defeated him?"

"No, do you still remember the horse thief with more than 20,000 people?"

Cao Lan said anxiously: "They suddenly attacked Jincheng and could take it down. All the guards of Jincheng were killed. The people they sent back to ask for help have come to Chang'an."

Chen Yang asked in surprise: "What horse thief is so brave?"

As a group of horse thieves, they dare to attack the city and provoke the strength of the regular army. The most important thing is to really attack the city.

Whether in terms of number or strength, this group of horse thieves is not simple, it is interesting.

"We can't find out who their leader is yet."

Cao Lan shook his head and said, "Shadow only found out that the second leader of the horse thief was named Zhou Shao. Their leader has always been elusive. The shadow has been infiltrated for a long time, and even his shadow can't be seen."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "They are definitely not serious horse thieves, but we have been in Chang'an recently and are a little bored. Just think it's training and ask Wei Wenchang to prepare 5,000 people to wait for me."

How could a serious horse thief suddenly attack a city? Even their leader could not find out?

The horse thief with more than 20,000 people should not be anything else, but just wants to get a share of the piety in the battle for hegemony in troubled times.

The people who lead them must be not simple, which makes Chen Yang look forward to it.

"yes!"

Cao Lan went down to make arrangements.

Half a day later, Wei Yan gathered 5,000 people and was under Chang'an City.

Chen Yang still only brought Wang Yue by his side, and went to Jincheng west of Chang'an with Wei Yan and five thousand people.

"Lord, isn't it just more than 20,000 horse thieves? If I ask me to take three thousand people there, I can destroy them. We are now using a lot of talent."

Wei Yan said disapprovingly.

"Have you ever seen any horse thief who would capture the city at will? He also gathered more than 20,000 people."

Chen Yang said close to him: "Even if they are horse thieves, they are still horse thieves with improper ideals and must not be careless because of this. If they do this, it will definitely be purposeful."

Wei Yan said: "My lord is saying that these horse thieves are going to compete for the world?"

He felt a little ridiculous after he said that.

Chen Yang thought for a while and responded: "The fight for the world is too far away, and they should not be able to do it, but it is not a big problem to seize the side. Their capture of Jincheng is just one of them. Maybe they will compete with us for Guanzhong in the future. This time, we will treat it as training for troops. Anyway, you haven't gone to war for a long time."

Wei Yan nodded and smiled, "That's right, our brand new firearms have not started to be used yet."

Among the rear army, there were several carriages holding many hands. Thunder had four or five hands hanging on each soldier. Thunder was always on guard. If necessary, just pull the lead and hit them directly.

Soon he arrived near Jincheng, and the appearance of Chen Yang and others directly attracted the attention of the horse thieves who defended the city.

The city tower was full of people in a short while.

"Camp and rest!"

Chen Yang did not order an attack and came from a long distance, so it was not suitable to take action as soon as possible.

However, when the horse thieves in Jincheng saw an army coming to rescue Jincheng, they were all a little anxious.

"What should I do? The Guanzhong army really wants to attack us, and it's still coming so quickly!"

"They are formal troops, we are just horse thieves, will we not be able to win?"

"I think it's very likely that I can't win. Jincheng can't hold on. We have to go back and continue to be horse thieves?"

The soldiers said in a panic.

They don’t want to continue to be horse thieves, as this is very unpleasant.

Even Zhou Shao was a little confused, but when he went back to ask Ma Chao for instructions, he only said that they would fight casually and not fight with the real army, he would never know his strength.

"General Zhou, check... I found it!"

At this time, their scout finally ran back and said, "It seems that only five thousand people came out."

"There are only five thousand people?"
Chapter completed!
