Even if you are far away, you will be killed

Zhang Yue said slowly, "Get Marakanda within a month!"

Gengchen perked up after hearing this, "Don't worry, Lord, Dawan will surely capture Marakanda within a month!"

Marakanda is a semi-independent Cypriot city-state south of Conju.

At first, it submitted to Daxia. After Daxia was defeated by the Yuezhi people, it became a small independent country.

However, it was soon conquered by Kangju, and last year, it was captured by troops sent by the governor of Susia, Parthia.

Zhang Yue asked Gengchen to take over the city within a month, firstly to test Dawan's strength, and secondly to let Dawan completely sever ties with the Parthian Empire.

Gengchen naturally understands this truth, but in his opinion, this is Dawan's opportunity to show his value.

As for severing the relationship with Anxi, it was already destined to happen when he and Chanfeng decided to annex the remnants of the former Beidaxia Kingdom.

Zhang Yue smiled and nodded, "That's it, I wish your highness immediate success!"

Gengchen stood up and paid homage, "I'll wait until my servant takes down Marakanda and come back to pay homage to the lord..."

…

On the fourth day after Geng Chen left Ershi City, a large group of troops led by Geng Shu finally arrived at Ershi City.

The arrival of Geng Shu and others made Ma Han and Pan Hong very happy.

With the addition of Geng Shu's 6,000 immigrants, the current population of Ershi City has suddenly exceeded 30,000.

The number of troops has also increased from a mere two thousand to more than five thousand.

Qingzhuang Dingkou suddenly grew to 18,000 people.

In addition, there were nearly 3,000 slaves.

This amount of manpower is enough for Ershi City to develop well.

After Mahan settled the newly arrived immigrants, he made a small calculation.

Early the next morning, Ma Han found Zhang Yue.

"Greetings to the Lord!"

Zhang Yue looked at Ma Han, who came alone in front of him, and asked, "Does Ma Han have something important to do here?"

Ma Han chuckled and said, "Junhou is here to invite you and Geng Gong to visit the Second Master Ranch..."

As soon as Ma Han spoke, Zhang Yue knew that he must have a plan.

But Zhang Yue didn't care anymore, what's more, he was also very interested in the ranch.

In the past, the direct goal of the Second Division General Li Guangli's thousands-mile expedition was for the bloody BMW produced by the Second Division Ranch.

Zhang Yue thought for a while and said, "Good, I can go to the ranch in three days!"

…

Zhang Yue agreed to go to the ranch, which made Ma Han quite excited.

When I returned to the military camp, I even sang "Get Out of the Car" for a rare occasion.

"Why is Mr. Ma so excited?"

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the military camp, he met Pan Hong.

Ma Han did not hide anything, and immediately told Zhang Yue that he had promised to go to the ranch in three days.

How could Pan Hong not understand his plan when he heard this, "Ma Gong wants to take revenge!"

Ma Han said, "Yes, this King Yu Cheng has repeatedly provoked the big man and should be punished!"

Pan Hong nodded and said, "Even so, I'm afraid it's not the right time yet?"

Ma Han was shocked when he heard this, "Why did Mr. Pan say this?"

Pan Hong said, "Does Mr. Ma know about the visit of the Vice King of Dayuan not long ago?"

Ma Han said, "Of course we know this, but what does it have to do with Yu Cheng? Could it be that Da Wan wants to start a war with the Han Dynasty for Yu Cheng?"

Pan Hong shook his head when he heard this and said, "Of course not, that Chan Feng is probably hoping that the big man will attack Yu Cheng..."

Ma Han said, "If that's the case, why do you say this... It's not the right time!"

Pan Hong said, "The meaning of so is, king!"

Ma Han was startled, "Do you want to support Yu Cheng?"

Pan Hong smiled and said, "How can the monarch support Yu Cheng? He is just afraid that he is trying to test Dawan!"

When Ma Han heard this, he was thoughtful, "So that's it. It seems like it's a certain Meng Lang..."

Speaking of this, Mahan felt quite frustrated.

Seeing this, Pan Hong consoled him, "This is just some speculation..."

Ma Han shook his head and said, "The prince probably doesn't want to punish Yu Cheng at this time..."

…

"Do you want to punish Yu Cheng?"

At this time, Geng Shu was also asking Zhang Yue about Yu Cheng.

Zhang Yue said, "Yucheng must naturally be punished. Anyone who dares to offend my great man will be punished even though he is far away...but not at this time!"

Geng Shu heard this and asked, "That being the case, why did the prince allow Ma Han to go to the ranch?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "The two are not contradictory..."

After hearing this and thinking about it, Geng Shu already understood Zhang Yue's plan.

"Does the prince want to suppress Yu Cheng and make him dare not move?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "The one who knows me is Mr. Geng!"

…

In the blink of an eye, it was already three days later. After the morning meal, Zhang Yue set off for the Ershi City Ranch under the guidance of Ma Han.

Geng Shu, Zhang Zhan and others were accompanying him, and in addition there were 1,500 Han cavalry.

The road from Ershi City to the ranch has long been repaired, so the progress is very fast.

In the evening of that day, Zhang Yue and his party had arrived at the ranch.

Because it was getting late, Zhang Yue did not meet the people at the ranch that night, but just asked everyone to set up camp.

He, Geng Shu, Ma Han and others stayed at the Ranch Dunbao.

On the second day, Zhang Yuecai and his party inspected the ranch under the guidance of Mahan.

"Is this the legendary sweaty horse?"

Zhang Yue looked at a Dawan horse with a shoulder height of more than seven feet and asked with satisfaction.

Ma Han affirmed, "This is the reason why the former emperor wanted to exchange the golden horse for the BMW..."

At this time, Geng Shu asked from the side, "How many horses are there in this racecourse? How many war horses can be produced?"

Ma Han sighed and said, "There are only 9,000 horses in the ranch now, and it can produce 600 war horses a year!"

Zhang Zhan was surprised when he heard this, "Why are there so few?"

Zhang Zhan was once the leader of a clan and knew a lot about the raising of war horses.

Generally speaking, a ranch with 9,000 horses can produce at least 900 war horses a year.

This Dawan horse is much taller than the Xiongnu horse and the Wusun horse, and the number of war horses it produces should be greater.

He originally estimated that the ranch could produce 1,200 to 1,300 war horses a year.

Unexpectedly, it was actually only half of this number.

Mahan sighed and said, "A hundred miles north of the ranch is Yucheng Ranch... Due to lack of troops in recent years, Yucheng has repeatedly attacked the ranch... The ranch has suffered heavy losses!"

Zhang Zhan heard this and said angrily, "How unreasonable... King Yu Cheng dares to bully my big man!"

Zhang Yue did not expect at this time that King Yu Cheng would be so bold and that the losses to the Second Master Ranch would be so great.

After Zhang Zhan scolded Yu Cheng angrily, he bowed to Zhang Yue and said, "Please also ask Junhou Yun to go to Yu Cheng Ranch!"

Geng Shu frowned when he heard this and said, "Why don't we wait for a few days?"

Ma Han looked at Geng Shu and then at Zhang Yue: "Is the prince planning something big?"

Zhang Yue did not answer immediately, but made quick calculations in his mind.

Su Fei on the side quietly said to Wu Zheng, "What's going on, Lord... If you don't take back the horse, you may lose the majesty of the Han Dynasty..."

Wu Zheng didn't say anything, but it was obvious from his expression that he thought so.

Su Fei's words fell into Zhang Yue's ears, but they made Zhang Yue make a decision.

"Zhang Zhan and Mahan'er immediately sent troops..."
