Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 792 Tiger King Mount
Outside Hulao Pass, Ma Chao led the troops galloping, because he got the news that Zhang Xiong had arrived at Hulao Pass and wanted to see him.

"Brother, why did your Second General suddenly want to see you?" Ma Dai asked.

"How do I know this? I'll know it when I see it." Ma Chao said.

Hulaoguan was close at hand, Zhang Xiu saw Ma Chao approaching, and had already ordered the city gate to be opened.

"Second General, Meng Qi and the others have arrived." Zhang Xiu said.

Zhang Xiu knew the purpose of Zhang Xiong and the others, but he just regretted that the soldiers under his command didn't have that chance.

"The lord has finally arrived, Mulu, let's go down to meet him." Zhang Xiong has nothing to ask for, and he doesn't have the airs of being a chariot general.

As soon as Ma Chao led the troops into the doorway, he saw Zhang Xiong and hurriedly dismounted to salute.

"The two generals have worked hard, follow me upstairs." Zhang Xiong said.

Afterwards, Ma Chao and Ma Dai were dragged off by Zhang Xiong.

"What is the second general's business here?" Ma Chao asked.

Hearing about the expansion of the White Tiger Legion, Zhang Xiong should be very busy, how could he come here to look for him when he has time.

"Meng Qi, I'm here because I have something important to do. I don't know if you are willing to help." Zhang Xiong said.

"Second General is serious, as long as Ma Chao can do it, it is his duty." Ma Chao said seriously.

"Okay, Meng Qi has a look outside the pass!"

Zhang Xiong pointed to the outside and said.

Ma Chao looked in the direction Zhang Xiong pointed, and found a cavalry there.

"Second General, aren't those beast cavalry?" Ma Chao said.

"Yes, now that the Beast Cavalry is expanding, I wonder what Meng Qi thinks." Zhang Xiong asked.

At this time, Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry was still outside. When the hundred beast cavalry appeared, the horses of the Xiliang cavalry had already weakened their legs.

"It is the greatest honor for a cavalry to be included in such a special cavalry." Ma Chao knew how powerful this beast cavalry would be after it was expanded, having dealt with cavalry since childhood.

Seeing that Ma Chao looked straight at the beast cavalry, Zhang Xiong knew that Ma Chao liked this cavalry very much.

"Meng Qi, I want to select 100 people from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to join the Beast Cavalry. I wonder if Meng Qi is willing?" Zhang Xiong said.

"100 people? How much will the beast cavalry expand?" Ma Chao asked.

"Expand to 500 people." Mu Lu replied.

"Haha, Second General, you can pick all the Xiliang warriors below as long as you like them. I'm happy to think that I, a man from Xiliang, can fight on the back of a tiger." Ma Chao said.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Ma Chao's attitude was really different from Wei Yan's when he first showed the special and powerful beast cavalry.

What Wei Yan considered was that his own Qinglong Legion could not be picked out of the elite, while Ma Chao wished that all Xiliang warriors would join the Beast Cavalry.

"Meng Qi, thank you very much!" Zhang Xiong didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"Haha, Second General, you are being polite. Ma Chao also has a request. I wonder if Second General can agree?" Ma Chao asked.

"Meng Qi said it straight!" Zhang Xiong said.

"Can you train me a tiger mount?" Ma Chao's eyes lit up.

The moment he saw the beast cavalry, he was thinking about this.Riding a fierce tiger to fight and fight is more in line with his title of General Shenweitian.

"Meng Qi, I can't be the master of this, I have to report back to His Majesty and see His Majesty's decision." Zhang Xiong said truthfully.

It takes a long time, manpower and material resources to train the tiger mounts of the beast cavalry. If they are scattered and used as mounts for generals, the effect will not be as good as gathering in one place to form a legion.

Therefore, although the beast cavalry belonged to the White Tiger Army, Zhang Xiong really didn't dare to make a decision.

"Okay, then please ask the second general to ask the king!" Ma Chao also knew that this matter cannot be forced.Fortunately, Wu Shun usually pays more attention to the generals' ideas, and he thinks there is something interesting about the tiger mount.

Because of Ma Chao's generosity, Mu Lu directly selected 200 people to return to Yizhou, which was still 100 people away from the completion of the expansion of the beast cavalry.

"Brother, that wooden deer's eyes are really poisonous, and he picked out all the elites in the army." After Zhang Xiong and Zhang Xiong left, Ma Dai was full of complaints.

"Beast cavalry, as long as there are more people, it can be compared to the personal guard battalion. As for deterrence, even the Azure Dragon Legion is far behind. We should be happy that men from Xiliang can join the beast cavalry." Ma Chao said.

There are many warriors in Xiliang, and they can be replenished at any time if they are short of soldiers, and the beast cavalry is expanding, so this opportunity is rare.

"General Ma, you have helped the Second General a lot, and soon you will have a tiger mount. I really envy others." Zhang Xiu made no secret of his envy for Ma Chao.

"General Zhang was joking. Whether you can have it or not is up to the king." Although Ma Chao said so, he was full of confidence in Zhang Xiong in his heart.

……

There are only 100 beast cavalry left. Zhang Xiong and Mu Lu went to Wuling County, found Shi Zhongyu, and selected the elite of the Fifty Canglang Army.

Shi Zhongyu was easy to talk to, if Zhang Xiong hadn't insisted on only having 50 people, he would have filled the 100 people.

The last 50 people were selected from the new army. They were southern barbarians who knew the wood deer's ability to tame animals.

The Beast Cavalry was full of 500 people. On the first day of training, Wu Shun personally attended the scene, which shows the high expectations placed on the Beast Cavalry.

"When we were at Hulao Pass, Meng Qi said he wanted a tiger mount. I don't know what the elder brother would like?" Zhang Xiong asked Wu Shun.

"The general uses a tiger as a mount. It's very good. It's both majestic and powerful. It's just the luck of the general. It must be tall and mighty, otherwise it will be bad to lose the majesty of the generals."

Wu Shun said.

Ma Chao's idea is mostly to play prestige, but if the generals of the Wuling Army use tigers as mounts, it will also deter and oppress the enemy.

"So, elder brother agrees?" Zhang Xiong asked.

"Of course I agree. It's just that it depends on Mu Lu. If he can't train such a tiger, the generals might as well continue to use war horses." Wu Shun replied.

Mulu is in charge of taming animals, so you have to ask him if he can supply the needs of so many generals.

"Mu Lu, is there a problem? Ma Chao helped us a lot." Zhang Xiong asked.

"Second General, it's okay to supply Ma Chao first, but before that, the last general must offer his mount to the King first."

Mulu said.

For Wu Shun's fierce tiger mount, Nanman spent a lot of effort and specially captured a tiger king for training. It has been more than a year, but Mengyang still has not completely surrendered.

"Are you talking about the Tiger King?" Zhang Xiong asked.

"Exactly!" Mu Lu said.

In order to tame the Tiger King, Mulu has spent a lot of effort, and now it is only a matter of finishing.

And this is also the most dangerous Mulu didn't even dare to mention it.For Tiger King to surrender completely, Wu Shun had to do it himself.

"But do you need big brother to do it yourself?" Zhang Xiong asked again.

"Yes, Second General." Mu Lu replied.

"Tiger King, it's interesting, show it!" Wu Shun said with interest.
