Han Dao world

Chapter 308
Yang Xiu waited for a while, and then said: "However, etiquette is acquired the day after tomorrow. The difference is only in the sequence. As long as you are willing to study and learn, there is no one who can't learn it. After defeating Li Jue, His Majesty took over his old department and sent Confucian scholars as Teacher, teach soldiers etiquette."

Ma Teng had already given up his mind, but after hearing Yang Xiu's words, he suddenly felt hopeful again.

"Is there such a thing?"

Yang Xiu smiled. "The generals don't know something, and I am one of them. Trusted by His Majesty, I sacrificed wine for the teacher, and first taught the soldiers in the camp of the later general Yang Ding. Now that all the students can act independently, I have to go on a mission."

Ma Teng was surprised and delighted.

Yang Xiu came from a noble family, and was appointed by the emperor as a teacher to offer wine. Ma Chao hit it off with him, and it was a chance that fell from the sky.

With a plan in mind, Ma Teng became more enthusiastic about Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu couldn't ask for it, so he asked Ma Teng about the situation in Liangzhou.

Speaking of Liangzhou, Ma Teng sighed deeply.

"Do you know the story of Duan Gong breaking the Eastern Qiang in Lingwu Valley?"

Yang Xiu heard Jia Xu say something, but he really wanted to hear Ma Teng talk about it. "Dare to ask."

Ma Teng pointed around with the whip in his hand. "This large piece of land has been the territory of the Han people since Mengtian opened the border. There are many famous generals for the county guards. Li Guang, the parachutist, served twice as the prefect of the upper county. Luoyang is the capital of this dynasty, and there are many Guandong people who are the prefects. But they are good at making money, but they are not armed enough, and this place has gradually become the territory of Qianghu."

Ma Teng sighed faintly. "Baimatong was also moved here by Xiu Tuze in the last few decades. Before that, it was the territory of the Qiang people. Duan Gong fought hard for two years and quelled the rebellion of the Qiang people. Baimatong came again. Today defeated White horse copper, tomorrow I don’t know which tribe will come here to graze.”

Yang Xiu looked around and thought for a moment. "The counties and counties of the Han Dynasty should be occupied by our Han Dynasty. How can we let the Qiang Hu herd horses?"

Ma Teng turned to look at Yang Xiu. "Master, can the imperial court have this determination? For Qianghu, this is a treasure land. For the imperial court, this place may be a burden, and each of them needs a lot of money and food from the inner county to maintain it."

"Why can the Qiang and Hu be self-sufficient, but the Han people can't?"

The corners of Ma Teng's mouth twitched, thinking that this kid is after all a well-dressed kid who doesn't know the hardships of the world.

"Is it possible that the scholar-bureaucrats of the Han family are willing to endure the hardships of the Qiang Hu? Not to mention anything else, how many people are willing to ride on horses like the servants? official."

Yang Xiu was thoughtful.

-

Tushen Jersey.

Ma Chao reined in his mount, raised his hand, and clenched his fist.

The knights following behind stopped and looked at Ma Chao in puzzlement.

After several days of marching in the desert, everyone was exhausted and their reflexes became a little sluggish.Not far ahead was Tu Shenze. They just wanted to drink water, drink horses, and rehydrate.

No water to drink is more unbearable than no food.

Ma Chao turned around, called Pound, and pointed in the direction of Tu Shenze in the distance. "You take a few people to see, I don't feel right."

Pound responded, and rushed forward with the two knights.

Ma Chao got off his horse and ordered everyone to drink the last water, eat as much dry food as possible, feed the horses, and get ready for battle.

Most people have run out of water and can only swallow dryly.Nevertheless, they obeyed the order and desperately swallowed the hard to swallow dry food.

Battles can happen at any time, and if they don't replenish their strength in time, they may not be able to persist until the end.

One more bite, one more chance of survival.

Although they haven't seen the shadow of the enemy yet, and there are no signs of danger, they trust Ma Chao's beastly intuition.

-

Pound rode his horse and ran for a few miles, and the humidity in the air became thicker and thicker.

Turning around a sand dune, a big lake appears in front of you, with rippling water.

Pound glanced around, and whispered to a knight beside him to take off the water bag on his waist and let him fetch water.

Another knight also took off the water bag and handed it to his companion. At the same time, he adjusted the bow bag at his waist to a suitable position, ready to draw an arrow at any time.

The knight took it, rode his horse forward, came to the water's edge, got off his horse, and looked around vigilantly, while throwing three water bags into the water, holding the water with both hands, and took a big gulp first.

The water was poured into the water bag with a gurgle, and the war horse lowered its head and gulped down the water.

There was silence all around.

After the knight drank the water, he put away the three water bags, mounted his horse again, returned to Pound, and passed the water bags over.

"Sima, there is a problem, it's too quiet."

Pound didn't take the water bag and looked around. "You go back first and report to the major general."

"Here." The knight agreed, and rode away with three water bags.

Together with another knight, Pang De rode his horse to the water's edge and let the horse drink water.He scanned the surroundings, and the knight kept looking back until his companion disappeared behind the dune.

After half an hour, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance. Ma Chao and his men appeared behind the sand dunes. The team dispersed and rushed to the water's edge.

For a while, the waterside became lively, and people shouted and neighed.

Pound rushed to Ma Chao's side and grabbed the reins. "General?"

Ma Chao laughed and got off his horse. "Don't worry, the order has been given. Ling Ming, who do you think it will be?"

Pound shook his head.

It was also his first time here, and he was not familiar with the situation here, nor did he know which tribes would be around.

"I guess they are Xianbei people."

"Xianbei people?"

"En." Ma Chao nodded confidently. "After the Qiang people were defeated by Duke Duan, the Huns moved south to the Lingzhou area, or to the east, to Xihe and Shangjun. Few stayed in this area. The Xianbei took advantage of the emptiness and occupied the former land of the Huns. They are the only ones who dare to ambush me here."

"What about the tribe of Baimatong?"

"Either I scared him away, or he took refuge in the Xianbei people." Ma Chao curled his lips in disdain. "These people don't have any sense of loyalty. Vote for you today, vote for him tomorrow, and follow whoever is stronger."

Pang De didn't answer Ma Chao's words, and pointed to Ximian. "I'll take people to guard, the general must be careful."

Satisfied, Ma Chao waved his hand and signaled Pound to go easy.

There are mountains in the west. According to the map and the confession of the Hun captives, there should be Jiming Fortress, but it has been abandoned.Whether it is Xiutu Gehu or Xianbei people, if there is an ambush, it is most likely to come from that direction.

Pound led a group of personal guard knights and rushed to the west side. Just after running two miles, he saw a group of cavalry galloping.

Pound calmly rode his horse up the sand dunes beside him, and blew the horn for warning.

The horn was long, and when Ma Chao and others beside Tu Shenze heard the warning, they immediately took action, got on their horses, and prepared to fight.

They didn't relax their vigilance at first, and kept the formation. As long as the people got on the horses and started to accelerate, they entered the fighting state.

The only surprise was that Pound's warning horn sounded longer than they expected.

This shows that the incoming enemy is more than they expected, at least [-] horsemen.

In an instant, countless pairs of eyes looked at Ma Chao.

They are less than a thousand riders, and they have just crossed the desert. They are exhausted, facing ten times the enemy, everyone feels a little panicked.

Ma Chao raised the spear in his hand, waved it twice in the air, and pointed forward obliquely.

"Flying Geese—"

The orderly sounded the horn.The cavalry quickly gathered behind Ma Chao, connecting end to end, forming a slender formation like the neck of a goose, facing the opponent like an arrow leaving the string.

　On the first day of October, happy birthday to the great motherland, ask for a monthly ticket!
