He hurried back to Chang'an with his captives and cattle. On the way, even the captive cows were lost. Wang Hou had rushed back to Chang'an, and then he was still one step late.

The second snowfall this winter also fell, but the huge Bashangnanyuan was not flat, with rolling hills highlighting one after another, a little high, revealing the arm armor of the fallen Qiang Liang soldiers or the shoulders and heads of the war horses.

Four days ago, Xiahou Yuan had already fought a decisive battle with Ma Chao who rushed from Xiliang and defeated Ma Chao.

It is difficult to fight! It is simple and simple. There are many seemingly weak sides in history. Both the level of equipment training and the number of people are far inferior to the other side, but they won inexplicably in one battle. This time it was like this.

With 10,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, Xiahou Yuan even easily defeated the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry who was rampant in Xiliang, beheading more than 1,600 cavalry on the spot, and defeated Ma Chao's common sense counterattack in the pursuit battle, and the siege of Chang'an was resolved.

However, in the entire war, the 10,000 troops were not as strong as those of an old man in his fifties, because the old man was named Ma Teng, the former general of the Ma family army!

"Meet the big street!"

When Wang Hou was about to leave the cavalry and return quickly, his face was frozen and sucked. Xiahou's bearded man was red and his head was steaming. He greeted him happily with fists.

He was not allowed to be dissatisfied with his face. In the battle, Xiahou Yuan was really worthy of face! On the face, he attacked the cavalry with his stance, and fought against 20,000 yuan, and completely defeated Ma Chao. His military achievements were no longer much better than Duan Bing. In the inside, more than 5,000 Xiliang cavalry under Ma Chao put down his weapons with Ma Teng's persuasion to surrender. He was worthy of being a veteran. Xiahou Yuan took them under his command without blushing and his heart was still beating.

Don’t underestimate the five thousand cavalry. After Ma Chao was defeated in Liangzhou, he first defected to Zhang Lu, Hanzhong, and then rebelled and defected to Liu Bei, Sichuan.

The influence of unfilial piety at that time was particularly bad, but Ma Chao ignored his father and killed the entire clan. He also rebelled against this master repeatedly. Liu Bei still rushed his army to welcome him for a hundred miles. Why? It was because Ma Chao still had about 8,000 Liangzhou cavalry in his hands, and for Shuzhong, which lacked cavalry, this was a timely help.

If used well on the battlefield, the role of five thousand cavalry is even comparable to that of tens of thousands of infantry!

Moreover, these cavalry are not only as simple as speed and power, but also strategically important!

In the later period, Zhuge Liang made a northern expedition, why did he go out to Qishan six times? He also liked Jiang Wei, who was born in the surrender, and did not hesitate to accept him as his disciple. The reason why he named his surrender as his heir was not only because Jiang Wei was indeed talented, but more importantly, his Qiang Liang origin!

The entire Shu Han's Northern Expedition strategy actually revolves around a strategic point, which is to strive for the millions of Qiang people, first occupy the Qiang Liang land, and recruit the fierce and warlike Qiang people to train them into a cavalry group. Then, in the battle for Guanzhong, Qin in the west came out of the pass to attack and destroy the six countries, and to defeat the Xudu of Luoyang, attack Yecheng, gain the whole country, and support the Han Dynasty.

Now these should have become the bonds between Shu Han and the Qiang people in Liangzhou. More than 5,000 elite soldiers and generals who originally belonged to Ma Chao's group belonged to Xiahou Yuan. Now Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Yin Feng and other generals, and even Ma Chao's clan brother Ma Dai, led cavalry to line up behind him, and their strength expanded by one-half of the original. Xiahou Yuan's unsatisfied old face turned red, which made him strange.

"The general defeated the Xiliang horse bandits alone and captured many people. He was a disaster for the Northwest Ping. Wang congratulated General Xiahou!"

It sounds nice, but while talking, Wang Hou's beard was trembling, he suffered a lot now. Xiahou Yuan did not have the task of pacifying Liangzhou, so he had it! All the vanguards of the backbone who regained Liangzhou were pulled away by this guy. It would be strange if he didn't feel any pain!

"Haha, Xiahou was able to achieve this achievement thanks to the two tips left by Daxingtai! When I was reporting the merits to the Prime Minister, I will definitely ask for me truthfully for Daxingtai!"

What a guy, every word is heartbreaking! Xiahou Yuan's words touched Wang Hou's pain. If he didn't hand over Ma Teng and Hu's squat cannons to him! Wang Hou was really afraid that he would not be able to beat Ma Chao, but he would leave it to him. He lost both his own wealth and money, and in the end he would lose money and make a lot of money. Now he had to beat the front teeth and swallow it, forcing him to nod his head with a smile on his face.

Thank you... Thank you General Miaocai!" The peerless Tang Sect fo

…………

After spending a month and walking around the rugged loess high slopes in the cold weather, the rugged and difficult loess high slopes were wandering back and forth, but fortunately, Wang Hou was suffering and Guanzhong returned to peace again. Even if Ma Chao was not dead this time, his strength in Liangzhou was basically gone. Next year, Wang Hou had another year to farm, and no one would threaten his development for the time being.

Moreover, although he didn't make much money, he had at least more than 60,000 cows. The spring plowing animals next year is enough. Moreover, the Loess High Slope hit hard last season, deducting more than 20 Qiang tribes' winter food. To correct the situation for some time, Wang Hou can use grain to make a fuss and stir up the internal situation of the 300,000 Dongqiang.

More importantly, once the loess high slope is opened and the strength is spread to the ancient Yulin Pass, his power will be connected with Guihua City. At that time, the materials from Liaodong can be continuously imported into Guanzhong through the grassland, which is a qualitative change!

So despite his depression, Xiahou Yuan invited him to the military camp to "visit" for a while, and then he squatted cannons of four hundred tigers. He only brought the artillery back, and all the cannons were "destroyed". However, Wang Hou was still happy on the way back.

But when I got home, another uninvited guest came to the door.

"I am so sad that I deserve to die!"

In the yard of Sanqing Temple, Wang Hou had just gotten off the horse. From the attic of the corridor, an old man pulled a few young men out and crawled out. He spoke a rich Guanxi accent and knelt down on the ground in a sad way.

Ma Teng didn't expect that Xiahou Yuan's appearance was so ugly. All the Ma family troops who he persuaded to surrender were taken away by the bearded man and they were plundered into his own barracks, and no team of cavalry left for Wang Hou.

Although this old man is not a talented man in troubled times, he still has a vision! He knew that the reason why his clan could survive was not because Cao Cao was so kind, but because Wang Hou needed his influence to pacify Liangzhou and recruit surrender and rebel. This time, Ma Chao was defeated, and his value had dropped by more than half. He offended Wang Hou, the current official, and even Wang Hou didn't have to kill him. He sent more than 300 numbers of his Ma family back to Yecheng. Cao Cao was happy to use the heads of their old friends of the same era to show his authority.

So most of Ma Teng's misfortune is true.

To be honest, this old man was also very pitiful. He was poor in the first half of his life. He was not willing to become a Qiangliang warlord at the beginning, but was forced to be the leader by the rebellious Qiang man Beigong Boyu. In the second half of his life, he wanted to live a peaceful life, and made his unfilial son make such a fuss. The old man, who was almost 60 years old, was killed by Cao Cao in Yecheng with two or three hundred people in his clan. Seeing Ma Teng ruthlessly begging for mercy, Wang Hou's heart was also sour. He could do nothing, and he stepped forward and pulled the old man.

"How can Mahon have any guilt? Chang'an has been able to protect this time, and it's up to Mahon's achievements!"

"A few days later, I want to send my children from Guanzhong. Gradually, the Guanzhong Army will be resigned from both civil and military affairs, and have extraordinary courage. I will be a lieutenant in our army. I wonder if Ma Weng can give up?"

The first half of this sentence is nonsense, the second half is important! I also use your son as an officer, and there are places where you need your Ma family. Don’t worry, I will burn bridges and scold the chef if I eat and eat.

Sure enough, Ma Teng's heart was relieved after hearing this.

However, if you want to say how important the education of children is, because an unfilial son was born in the family, Ma Teng had to bow and bend down to behave like a grandson when he was fifty or sixty. Therefore, it is the most important thing to educate the next generation! You can't raise them like those naughty children who are irresistible in future generations!

With a sincere gratitude, the old guy hesitated and stammered, and brought the man behind him quite tall, with a red face and a big beard with a kind of beautiful beard, but he brought some strong man with a simple and honest expression from the northwest to the front.

"Ma, Ma, is shameless and wants to find a position for Pang Sheng. Although Pang Sheng followed that unfilial son, he is also one of the most important generals in Xiliang. He is good at cavalry warfare. If the general is generous and gives him a position as a cavalry general, he will definitely help the general!"

The big bearded man named Pang? Seeing the big blushing man greeting him with a simple and honest visit, Wang Hou always felt a little familiar!
