Now Wang Ding can be considered to have strong soldiers and horses.
He has 8,000 Han cavalry and 7,000 Qiang cavalry under his command. Of these 15,000 cavalry, 3,000 were brought by Ma Teng from Liangzhou.
There are also 110,000 infantrymen, 20,000 of whom are in Hanzhong, under the command of Gao Shun.
There are 70,000 in Chang'an, 10,000 in Hetao, and 10,000 in Luoyang.
There are also some scattered cities, with a total of almost ten thousand people.
Fifty thousand new soldiers have begun to take on combat effectiveness.
The Seven Kills Battalion originally trained by Cheng Yin was handed over to Ma Chao by Wang Ding to lead.
Liang Xing's Pojun victory was handed over to Pang De.
The soldiers Ma Teng brought were divided between two people and continued training.
Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Teng also need to be familiar with the fighting methods and command methods of the Han army. They have also appeared in the military camp in the past few days and trained with many soldiers.
Cheng Yin and Liang Xing were originally from the Liangzhou Group, and they could barely accept the fact that the recruits they trained were handed over to Ma Chao and Pang De.
Both of them knew very well about the strength of Ma Chao and Pang De. When they surrendered with Han Sui, the two were no longer Ma Chao's opponents.
Now that a year has passed, the two of them have also seen that Ma Chao and Xu Huang are fighting each other, and they are both superior.
Ma Chao felt a lot of energy in his heart. Every day he trained very hard. He was quickly learning the training methods of the Han army.
Although the Seven Kills Battalion was handed over to him, on the first day, Ma Chao knew that he would not be able to lead this team in a short period of time.
He also needs Cheng Yin's help.
Fortunately, there is no fighting now and Ma Chao has enough time to study.
The same goes for Pang De. After joining the Han army, both of them quickly absorbed new knowledge.
They must use the fastest speed to master the army that Wang Ding has given them.
Chang'an is very prosperous, but neither of them has the time to go sightseeing. They spend every day in the military camp. Ma Chao doesn't even go back to sleep, and stays in the military camp for food and accommodation.
At the same time, Ma Chao also competes with Xu Huang every day.
Xu Huang now avoids Ma Chao every day.
I really don’t want to compete with Ma Chao anymore. Training is already very time-consuming. If you have time to compete with Ma Chao, why don’t you go home and hug your wife for a while.
Perhaps due to Wang Ding's influence, generals such as Zhang Liao and Xu Huang would return home to accompany their families if they were not required to stay in the military camp for duty.
Ordinary soldiers are forced to stay in the military camp, but for those generals, Wang will arrange for them to be on duty in turns.
Xu Huang and Zhang Liao took turns and arranged two deputies for them, Cheng Yin, Liang Xing, Li Su and others as deputies.
When Zhang Liao went to Liangzhou before, Xu Huang was in charge during that time.
While Zhang Liao is back, Xu Huang doesn't want to compete with Ma Chao, he wants to go back early.
After avoiding Ma Chao several times, rumors began to spread in the military camp that Xu Huang was no match for Ma Chao.
Wang Ding asked several people and found out that the source was still Ma Chao.
Seeing that the other party could not force Xu Huang to take action, he told people in the military camp that Xu Huang did not dare to fight with him and that he would avoid him every day when he saw him.
Ma Chao is still a thorn in the side after all.
It’s just the first few days since I came here, I feel a little more stable.
Wang Ding did not pay attention to him, but he caused many things in the army.
When I met Wang Ding, he was not as respectful and carefree as other generals. I really called Wang Ding brothers.
"Brother Ji An, I'm here."
Ma Chao was all hot. He had just finished training and there was sweat on his face.
Wang Dingdao: "Ma Chao, what are the rumors in the army these days?"
For the first time, Wang Ding showed his face to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao said: "I don't know what the rumors are."
Wang Dingdao: "You still dare to quibble. There are rumors in the army that Xu Huang wants to stay away when he sees you. Does it have nothing to do with you?"
Ma Chao said: "I'm just telling the truth. Xu Huang doesn't dare to discuss with me, naturally he's afraid of me."
Wang Dingdao: "This is in the army. Don't say that you and him have not decided the winner. Even if we decide the winner, it is just a competition, not a battle of life and death. How can we count. As a general, you can compare.
Meritorious service, even if your strength is stronger than him and your meritorious service is not as good as his, he will still be your general."
Wang Ding looked at Ma Chao and knew that the other party didn't listen.
Wang Ding also realized that he should not have been too kind to the horse in the first place and indulged him too much.
It's useless to regret now, I can only find ways to make up for it.
Ma Chao is only eighteen years old now, but his character can still change.
Wang Dingdao: "I have a book of The Art of War here. Starting today, you will recite one of it every morning."
Ma Chao was originally very excited, and he was naturally interested in the art of war, but he heard Wang Ding say that he was required to recite an article every day, which embarrassed him to death.
Looking at the book of war in Wang Ding's hand, he didn't want to accept it, and he was very curious about the content in the book of war.
Wang Ding said disdainfully: "With your appearance, I dare to say that you are better than Xu Huang. Xu Huang also has a copy of this military book in his hand, and he has already written down all the contents of the military book, and he knows it by heart."
Ma Chao was irritated by Wang Ding, so he raised his head and said, "I don't believe it."
The book of war in Wang Ding's hand looked as thick as two palms. Ma Chao didn't believe that someone could memorize the entire book of war.
Wang Dingdao: "The military manual is here. If you don't believe it, you can take the military manual and go to Xu Huang to verify it."
Ma Chao said: "Okay, I'll go right away."
He took the book of war from Wang Ding's hand.
"Wait a minute, if Xu Huang can memorize an entire military book, what should you do?" Wang Ding stopped him and said.
Ma Chao said: "If he could, I would come here every day and recite an article."
He didn't want to lose to Xu Huang. He wanted to defeat Xu Huang in terms of force and military skills.
Wang Dingdao: "In addition, you must apologize to Xu Huang and admit that you are not as good as Xu Huang. You must not talk nonsense in the military camp from now on."
Ma Chao said: "Okay."
He had already flipped through it a little, and found that there was more content in the book of war than he had imagined. It was densely packed with small characters. He simply did not believe that Xu Huang could memorize the entire book of war.
Ma Chao took the military book and hurried to find Xu Huang.
Xu Huang saw Ma Chao from a distance and wanted to hide away.
Xu Huang also heard the rumors in the army, but he didn't care.
If you can't beat Ma Chao, it's not a shame.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army, and no one can defeat Ma Chao for sure.
Even if he actually fights against Ma Chao now, the odds are still 40 or 6, and Ma Chao has a better chance of winning than him.
Regarding this, Xu Huang could already realize this day when he played against Ma Chao in Chencang last year.
It is difficult to improve his strength, but Ma Chao still has room for improvement.
Now his probability of winning the Malaysian Super League is still 40%, but in another year, it may not even be 30%.
Seeing that Xu Huang was about to run away, Ma Chao immediately chased after him and shouted: "I will not discuss with the general today, but I just have a question that I want to ask the general."
