Chapter 961 Level [-] Combat Readiness
Ma Chao's words really stunned Cao Ang and Cao Tai on the spot.After having a hard time reflecting on it, Cao Tai bravely said: "As we all know, although the Ma family dominates the Liang, Yong, and Si prefectures, their strength is only 15. In the previous battle of Hanzhong, the Ma family lost more than [-] troops." , now that Yanshi has been defeated, the Ma family has less than [-] fighting forces. With such a poor army, I wonder why the Hussar General is still so aggressive?"

Ma Chao glanced at Cao Tai, but didn't answer. Instead, he sat upright and said slowly, "Gongda, the Ministry of War will draw up a letter. All the members of the Ma family will be mobilized to fight against Yuan Shao!"

"I don't know what level of combat readiness to issue this time?" Xun You bowed and asked for instructions.

"Level [-] is enough, Yuan Shao is only a mere tier-[-] combat readiness." Ma Chao waved his hand and made a decision.

When Xun You heard this, he actually took out a booklet from his bosom, flipped through it for a while, and said, "If the second level of combat equipment is used to mobilize county soldiers to attack, under the Ma family's rule, 30 troops can be mobilized." to the front."

"Too many, how many people can be dispatched if we only launch a combat readiness order in Sili Prefecture?" Ma Chao frowned slightly after hearing this, and waved his hands and said, "Other states and counties will consume a lot of troops, and their combat power is difficult to guarantee. It is enough to recruit soldiers from the Sili area."

"You can get more than [-] people." Xun You answered immediately.

Seeing Ma Chao's behavior, Cao Ang and Cao Tai were puzzled.However, the faces of the generals in the banquet hall were full of anger and excitement: Among the Ma family's army system, the most visible one is naturally the Ma's army, which is so powerful in the world.All are professional combat arms, and the treatment is extremely high.

However, in addition to this, Ma Chao has already formulated a combat readiness level in order to deal with the tactics of the crowd of princes.When the Ma family army is unable to deal with it, the second level of combat readiness is activated.In this way, under the rule of the Ma family, those county soldiers who are responsible for guarding the prefectures and counties will respond.These county soldiers usually also receive half a day of training, and their combat effectiveness is not bad.If you receive the Ma family's standard equipment and temper it on the battlefield, you will be a first-class elite soldier of the Ma family.

In addition, Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, Lu Bu, and Wu Anguo had 25 reserve troops. In this way, counting the original strength of the Ma family, there are more than [-].

Of course, if it is a third-level combat readiness, after mobilizing the county soldiers under the county soldiers, it is time for the Ma family to face the counterattack of the enemy.And if the fourth-level combat readiness is activated, and the militiamen who participate in training during the slack season are also mobilized, it will definitely be a moment of life and death for the Ma family. Under the Ma family's rule, at least 200 million troops can be mobilized, which is unstoppable.

After hearing Guo Jia's explanation, Cao Ang and Cao Tai's expressions changed drastically. They looked at Ma Chao with a little more fear. Odds.Ma Mengqi planned for a rainy day and set up such a grand plan for armaments, which really confuses the eyes of the world!
But this was just the beginning. After the 25 troops, Ma Chaofu asked Meng Da again: "Guan Shanxueqian contacted the mercenaries from the Western Regions. Have you completed the handover between your household department and the military department?"

"My lord, Guan Shanxue has already bought [-] slave soldiers from Anxi. Those people are brave and good at fighting, and they are very good at army formation. After settling down, one after another took refuge in the reserve army, actively preparing for war, and willing to fight for the Ma family!" It was Xun You who said this.

And Meng Da took a step forward after Xun You's report, and then said: "Besides, Guan Shanxue also contacted a 3 mercenary army from the Parthian Empire. They are already on standby in Liangzhou. If the Lord agrees, It can be sent to the front line immediately."

"Where is the Great Qin Empire?" Ma Chao shook his head, as if he was still somewhat dissatisfied with Guan Shanxue's progress.

"Reporting to my lord, the Anxi Empire and the Great Qin Empire are deadly enemies. Guan Shanxue once also attracted a group of mercenaries from the Great Qin Empire. However, the slave army of the Anxi Empire swore to fight to the death. Cut off the road to Great Qin."

After Ma Chao heard the words, he nodded his head.After listening to Xun You's explanation, he naturally remembered that the vast empire to the west of the Han Dynasty was the Arsahi Dynasty established by the Persianized Scythians. Sima Qian transliterated it in "Historical Records" as "rest in peace".The Parthian Empire dominated Central Asia and completely monopolized the Silk Road trade, which aroused the covetousness of the Western Qin (Roman Empire).

A great war broke out, and Crassus the "Red Clothes" (known as the Big Three of Rome with Pompey and Caesar, and the consul who eliminated Spartacus) led an army to attack Anxi, but the once powerful Qin Dynasty was in a vast area. The Central Asian grasslands were defeated by this nomad.Crassus was captured, King Anxi cut off his head, put gold in Crassus's mouth and sent it back to mock the greedy Daqin people.Since then, although Daqin has continued to launch wars against Anxi, it has always been frustrated.

With this period of national feud, the Anxi Empire and the Great Qin Empire have been at odds ever since, and they will never die.Ma Chao is whimsical, only trying to tap the population there with wealth and trade, but ignores the intolerance between races.

However, such a result also made Ma Chao feel somewhat relieved, and said, "Then send the [-] mercenaries from Parthia to the front line, plus the [-] slaves from the Parthian Empire, to act as cannon fodder. It should be almost the same... ..."

Cao Ang and Cao Tai came here to look at each other in amazement, what about the Anxi Empire, the Great Qin Empire, and the Parthian Empire? They only saw a few words from the historical records, but they never thought that there would be "employment" in that place. Army' this profession.And Ma Chao calmly introduced these people to the Central Plains, and at the same time transferred them to the front line to serve as a death squad... Such an approach really made Cao Ang and Cao Tai unbelievable.

'Could it be that the refugees under the Ma family cannot be used in such wars? ' The eyes of the two showed such doubts at the same time, they couldn't figure out why Ma Chao took so much trouble.

"The life of the people of the big man is very precious." Ma Chao seemed to see the doubts in the eyes of the two. After explaining in one sentence, he said again: "In this way, the Ma family already has an army of more than 30. It is enough for the Yuan Shao was dumbfounded, but I think this amount is still a bit light..."

"Meng him!"

"Chen is here!"

"Immediately go north to the outside of the Great Wall and tell the Qiang and Hun tribes that I need [-] cavalry, and I want them to go to Chang'an within ten days. If they are half a minute late, let them think about the consequences!"

"Take orders!" Meng Ta has been in charge of Qiang affairs for many years, and has a very good relationship with Qingyi, Baima, Huangyang and other major Qiang tribes.Just one word, and the Qiang people will definitely help.As for Liu Bao, the Xiongnu, it was even simpler. With one order, Liu Bao naturally knew what to do.

It wasn't until this time that Cao Ang and Cao Tai suddenly remembered that Ma Chao was known as the "Heavenly Mighty General" outside the Great Wall, and the products of Ma's family maintained the survival of the herdsmen outside the Great Wall.He gave an order, not to mention a hundred thousand cavalry, even an army of 30 or 50 can be transferred.I'm afraid this small test is intended to make Yuan Shao retreat in the face of difficulties, right?
"There is an army of more than [-], this is quite interesting." Ma Chao got up slowly at this time, walked to Cao Ang and Cao Tai, and asked with a breeze: "Such a force is enough to go out of the pass." Let Cao Mengde give up Yingchuan County?"

"Of course..." Cao Ang was shocked by the tip of the iceberg of Ma Chao's strength, and couldn't help but be overwhelmed by Ma Chao's courage at this time. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, he lost his composure and replied.

Afterwards, Cao Ang suddenly thought that the big crocodile of the Ma family had never been really angry.If it devotes all its strength to send troops to the Kanto region, it may not be impossible to sweep the world.It's just, it has been so forbearing, what is it for?
'Why? Ma Chao, who saw Cao Ang's thoughts, couldn't help feeling a little depressed: You think I don't want to do this?You ancient people don't know that fighting is burning money.If the Ma family is as you think, one battle can destroy the economic foundation of the entire Ma family and even the Han Dynasty!At that time, I'm still playing a fart!
