The cold-warming supplies in Shendu City are continuously sent to Xiguan.
With the onset of the war, daily food and salary expenses doubled.
Since the sixth year of Zhengguang's reign, natural and man-made disasters have occurred one after another. The Qian and Yuan Dynasties have been turbulent, and the people's lives have been unstable, and the national power has been continuously damaged.
During the Western Expedition to quell the rebellion, General Zuo, the Marquis of Duxiang, Feng Yuchan, sat in the General's Mansion.
Inside the mansion, several staff members secretly discussed with Feng Yuchan.
"Liangzhou reported urgently yesterday that enemy traces have been found in Jincheng."
Jincheng is an important town in the northwest of Liangzhou. It is one of the twelve towns of the front army. There is also a town established in Jincheng. Therefore, although Jincheng has urgent reports, it has no intention of asking for help.
"Jincheng cares about the passage into Liang and must not miss it."
"The general ordered me to resist the enemy outside Liangzhou. If these Qiang people get into Liangzhou, it will be hard for me to explain."
Feng Yuchan pointed at Jincheng and drew a circle on the map he spread out.
Within dozens of miles of Jincheng lies the Gobi Desert.
This city was originally very difficult to build. It was a real military town. If the enemy captured Jincheng, it would be difficult to solve the problem using Jincheng as a point to attack when advancing and to defend when retreating.
Further northwest from Jincheng is Anzhou and the desert.
Among them, Anzhou was in chaos, and the purpose of feng Yuchan was not to save the people of Anzhou, but to defeat the invading Qiang army.
He shifted his attention to the northeast, where there were several large cities where the Twelve Frontier Army towns were set up.
It's just that these points set up by the border troops are not as important as the important town of Jincheng. They are usually guarded by only three to five thousand people, so the number of troops is insufficient.
"This is the Ma family's racecourse. The Ma family is good at raising horses. The vast grasslands in the northeast of Liangzhou are their Ma family's racecourse."
"The Qiang people can also reach this place by crossing the desert next door, but it will take more time and they may encounter some obstacles and difficulties on the way."
The desert in this world is not something you can wear if you want.
Legend has it that there are some demons and ghosts in the desert. These demons and ghosts will not let go of meat that comes to their mouths.
"The penetration of large groups of troops may attract the attention of demons, but if small groups of troops penetrate quickly, they can reach Ma's racecourse in less than two days."
"The prairie war horses must not be thrown away. After our army arrives in Liangzhou, the war horses and pack horses will consume a lot of money and must be adequately replenished."
Feng Yuchan thought for a while and felt that it was unlikely that the war with the Qiang people would end in a short period of time.
However, the Qiang people are actually not very resistant to pressure. As long as they win a few small victories, after next spring, when the climate becomes warmer and the economy becomes more prosperous, the Qiang people will leave on their own.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he must block the Qiang cavalry from Liangzhou.
If the Qiang people enter Liangzhou, which is relatively richer, or even enter the territory of Yongzhou, it will be even more difficult to drive them away.
"When the Qiang cause chaos, there must be a reason behind it."
"What I'm worried about now is not just the Qiang people's 100,000 cavalry."
Feng Yuchan shook his head and sighed. As the Qiang cavalry moved south, not only the safety of the three states was at risk, but also the hearts and minds of the three states.
The staff pointed to the Ma family in the northeast of Liangzhou and said, "General, are you worried about the Ma family?"
Feng Yuchan's eyes narrowed: "I have sent Cao Su to the Ma family."
"This man comes from a poor family and has no trace of a noble family. If the Ma family is in chaos, Cao Su will definitely not allow it to happen. In addition, I have explained to him the importance of war horses. If he sincerely helps me, he will definitely take control of the Ma family.
For my use.”
Feng Yuchan said calmly.
The staff member said: "Then if the Ma family is really..."
"Then it depends on what Cao Su thinks. I heard that this man once beheaded Shi Tan, the lord of Dengcheng City. He also chopped off the heads of scholars at will. The little Liangzhou nobles must also be no longer in trouble.
"
To put it bluntly, Cao Su is still a member of the Qin Hu lineage. Cao Su can handle this matter as he pleases. The person who offends the scholars will also be a member of the Qin Hu lineage, and it has nothing to do with him being granted the title of Yuchan.
If he handles it well, then on the emperor's side, he will also be the first to confer Yuchan.
Even if the war horses are not delivered to Jincheng in time as a supplement, then Cao Su may be the one who finally takes the blame, sharing some of the responsibilities on him.
.......
.......
The north wind blew the geese, and Cao Jun entered Liangzhou.
The journey became even more difficult. We had to eat and sleep in the open air along the way, and the conditions were much worse than in the south.
Fortunately, there are many warriors with Qi and Blood in Cao Su's army. Even those who have not broken through to Qi and Blood are still physically strong and can travel with stars and moons.
"Eternal God Emperor"
Near a war-torn place, there are frozen bones on the road.
Compared with the prosperity of the divine capital, the desolation of Liangzhou is in sharp contrast.
Because of the bad weather, all the soldiers were busy on their way, and few people spoke.
In early December, Cao Su's army arrived in the north of Liangzhou.
The climate here is slightly better, and we have also seen some oases in the desert.
The green reeds, fluttering herons, and the desert's yellow sand coexist in the vast swamp, which can be said to be a fortress in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Sir, further north is the Liangzhou Grassland."
The changes in the landform made Cao Su's army slow down.
Three thousand elite soldiers marched slowly into the oasis, crossed the swamp, and then walked north.
The detective horses sent by Cao Su kept coming to report the situation around Cao Su.
As the leader of the scouting horses, Zhang Ke personally led a group of scouting horses and went out to investigate.
"Ma's horse farm should be dozens of miles away from here."
"At the same time, we can also reach Beiliang City."
"Beiliang City is about the same size as Liangzhou Mansion and is the largest city in Liangzhou."
"Beiliang City is also the fiefdom of King Liang."
After Zhang Ke returned, he introduced the northward march route to Cao Su, explaining several areas clearly.
Cao Su had heard about King Liang. There were three or four brothers in the emperor today, and they were all divided into princes and kings and assigned to different places.
It's just that the gap between the princes and kings is not small.
For example, King Liang was one of the most powerful among the princes. Beiliang City was prospered by his management, and it was said that he was powerful in Mobei.
Therefore, Wen Tianxiao, the prince of Prince Liang, is also the most arrogant prince in the city of Shendu. He is very active and not low-key at all.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Prince Liang is also famous for his cruel and dandy deeds. Since he cannot be offended, everyone usually turns a blind eye to him.
.
"According to the imperial system, King Liang only has eight thousand soldiers and horses under his command, which are used to defend the safety of Beiliang City, so they will not be used as a source of troops for this western expedition to quell the rebellion."
Wu Ming had a very thorough grasp of these basic systems of the dynasty.
Cao Su asked: "What about the Ma family?"
"The Ma family has been friends with the King of Liang for generations. They are a famous noble family in Northern Liang. They run the largest horse farm in Liangzhou. They sell war horses to Shendu every year, and Shendu controls the distribution and sale of war horses."
After hearing the introduction, Cao Su frowned slightly, buying and selling war horses?
Another Pegasus Village?
He knew that the families that could buy and sell horses in the world had more or less mastered the core secrets of breeding war horses, and many of the war horses they raised in their hands were beyond the scope of ordinary war horses.
So you can have stronger gravity and endurance.
For example, the black wind war horse under Cao Su's crotch is a first-class war horse in Pegasus Village. Even if it carries a load of several hundred kilograms, it can be carried easily and effortlessly.
People are supermen, and horses are also superhorses.
The energy and blood of many war horses are surging and churning, which is not inferior to that of warriors.
"If the Ma family is close to King Liang, then the Ma family can rest easy in Beiliang City. Is Feng Yu Chan sending me here just to obtain a stable source of war horses from the Ma family?"
Cao Su felt that this matter would never be that simple.
"Sir, shall we enter Beiliang City directly?"
"No, Beiliang is the fiefdom of King Liang. It's not appropriate for us to rush to Beiliang City. I'll give you the order to bypass Beiliang City and go straight to the racecourse."
Cao Su decided to proceed with caution.
In this current situation, it would be hard for King Liang to have too much contact with it.
Although he had some relationship with his son, Cao Su didn't know the temper of King Liang at all, so there was no need to waste time here.
After Li Li heard Cao Su's order, he immediately turned his horse's head and conveyed the general's order to the entire army.
Later, after Cao Jun came out of the oasis, he bypassed the nearby Beiliang City and headed north directly from the west.
The sharp-eyed sergeants in Beiliang City discovered this sudden appearance of the troops.
Cao Su and others did not hide their traces, each small dot was very clear on the desert.
The force realm master with better eyesight even saw the big flag fluttering in the wind among the army, with the word "Cao" written on it.
"Go quickly and report to King Liang that a large number of troops have appeared in the west of the city."
The city gate generals immediately reported to Prince Liang's Mansion with great vigilance.
At this moment, several cavalry from that army rushed directly to the walls of Beiliang City.
The leading cavalryman shouted loudly.
"The generals of Beiliang are well and well. I am Li Li, the captain of Cao Cao of the Forbidden Army of the Divine Capital, and I am going north to quell the rebellion on the orders of General Cao Su of Zhaowu!"
Li Li's official position is Duwei Diancao, commander of thousands. According to the setting up of the Forbidden Army, a captain can be responsible for various matters in a battalion. Those like Li Li who are responsible for logistics and food matters can be called Duwei Diancao.
The soldiers on the tower of Beiliang City didn't even understand the rank of Captain Diancao and General Zhaowu.
But they heard that the other party was the imperial army who came to quell the chaos.
This made them very puzzled. Didn't they all say that the Imperial Army went to Jincheng to quell the chaos?
Although the situation in Beiliang has been more severe recently and the atmosphere has been more solemn, we haven't seen any war or chaos. Are they fighting against the chaos?
Many soldiers looked at each other.
Finally, the city gate commander laughed awkwardly twice and asked: "General, Prince Liang will be here soon, please wait here for a moment!"
"Why!"
Li Li refused seriously: "The military situation is urgent and there is no time to delay. I hope King Liang will forgive me and the general will forgive me!"
After saying that, without waiting for the people in the city to react, he led several riders and ran away in a puff of smoke.
Don't give the other party a chance to say anything more and say a few words.
