Han counter current

"Feng Xiao has a good plan?"

"There's no good strategy, it's just to attract all the army from Xiliang to the city of Chang'an, but, ahem, we will lose some soldiers and food."

Guo Jia's illness doesn't seem to be serious, but his body is not working well at such a young age.

"Hehe, in war, there are no immortals. Before the spring of next year, I will occupy Xiliang."

Since ancient times, kindness has not been in charge of soldiers, and Cao has manipulated the world for so many years, he has long been used to life and death.In order to win, it is nothing to pay a price.

"In that case, let's wait for them to take the bait."

In Xiliang, Han Sui and Ma Teng are now the most powerful. After harvesting the autumn grain, many small princes found that they did not have enough food and grass to feed their subordinates.

In this case, they can only rely on Han Sui or Ma Teng, who are the most powerful.This is the law of survival in the land of Xiliang, power determines everything, and it is normal to depend on the strong to survive.

Thanks to the plan of looting grain and grass offered by Ma Dai last time, coupled with Ma Chao's strong execution ability, the 20 stones of grain and grass obtained from the looting can be regarded as making Ma Teng's reputation louder again.

Because of the cooperation with Chen Feng, Ma Teng gained a lot of benefits. Therefore, in the past three months, Ma Dai, who has mastered five thousand cavalry, has been running around in the northeast of Xiliang.

Hu and Qiang live in the grassland here, and there are caravans from Youzhou.These caravans can be regarded as the most popular outsiders among the local Qiang people.

How to deal with the caravan from Youzhou, how to promote the relationship between the two parties, and how to ensure the interests of both parties.

Ma Teng didn't have the time and energy to deal with these things. Ma Dai's ability was recognized by him, especially the strategy of looting food and grass last time made Ma Teng even more happy.

So these matters are handled by Ma Dai with full authority, and Ma Dai did not disappoint him. He showed extraordinary ability in handling these trivial matters.

The caravans in Youzhou could bring food, salt, weapons, armor and other supplies, but they dared not go deep into the Hu and Qiang grasslands.

This area is too chaotic, and the folk customs are too aggressive. Without the escort of the army, these caravans have become lambs in the eyes of the local Qiang people.

For so many years, when the Xiongnu and Xianbei ran across the grassland, why did they always choose to flee from the Northern Expedition into the territory of the Han Dynasty to plunder, while always ignoring the Hu and Qiang living in the grassland and Xiliang?

Poverty is one of the reasons, and the other main reason is that the local people are too aggressive.

Whether you are a Xianbei cavalry or a Hun warrior, if you really dare to come, you must have the consciousness to pay a painful price.

The leaders of the prairie don't want to be repaired by the people of Xiliang before they reach the territory of Dahan. The local folk customs have protected their living place to a certain extent.

As for Ma Dai, who led five thousand cavalry, he became the security guard of Hu and Qiang living in the grassland during this period of time, but he would come forward to resolve any conflicts, and he would participate in matters related to the Youzhou caravan.

Correspondingly, Ma Dai also exchanged goods such as war horses and leather goods from the grassland and Xiliang in exchange for important supplies from the Youzhou caravan, which surprised Ma Teng again.

There is no doubt that Xiliang is poor. Caravans traveling north and south, as long as they can bring something, can make the local people laugh.

Salt and weapons are undoubtedly the most scarce and favorite supplies of these local warlords.It is indeed not easy for Ma Dai to open up such a business route.

Chapter 320 Troubled Autumn 2

After thinking about it, Ma Teng felt that more support should be given to Ma Dai.After all, business routes are rare and must be guarded.

"Transfer two thousand cavalry to the Hu and Qiang mixed grasslands and hand them over to Commander Bo Zhan."

In the living room, Ma Teng pointed to the map. As autumn approached, he became even busier.

"Bo Zhan has done a very good job during this time, and even exchanged salt and weapons for our army, these are the things we are most in short supply.

Han Sui must not let Han Sui know about this business route. However, I don’t feel at ease if Bo Zhan is there alone. After all, the situation there is too complicated. Alas, it’s a pity that Meng Qi and Ling Ming have important tasks, otherwise. "

"Father, let me lead the two thousand cavalry to assist Bo Zhan."

Ma Yunlu bowed her hands and begged for her life: "Your child will not be of much help to you if you stay here. Instead of that, it is better to go to Bo Zhan to gain knowledge. I heard that there are more caravans coming here to trade.

Bo Zhan probably doesn't have time to take care of other things by himself, and now that the boy is passing by, it happens to be able to share some of his tasks. "

"Hahaha, okay, my Ma Teng's daughter will definitely be a heroine, Yun Lu, you command two thousand cavalry to set off as soon as possible, and try to trade more supplies for us before winter begins."

"Child take orders."

"Father, Han Sui sent someone to invite us to cooperate again, this time,,,,,,"

Ma Chao was more concerned about the affairs of Xiliang and Chang'an, and Han Sui now called on all the princes of Xiliang to join forces. At this time, Ma Teng, the second largest force in Xiliang, must express his position as soon as possible.

"It's okay to cooperate."

Ma Teng snorted coldly. Although he didn't have much strategy, he still knew who Han Sui was.

"He has taken a fancy to the food and other strategic materials we hoarded, and he probably wants to get a share of it now. Hmph, how can there be such a good thing in this world, I want to see what tricks he uses this time."

"With my father around, he can't make any noise, but it's Cao Cao?"

"I heard that Cao Cao is busy harvesting food and grass in Chang'an. Heh, Meng Qi, do you think we should go looting again?"

"That's right, so many reclaimed fields and so much food and grass, we should plunder them."

"Well, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Hu and Qiang live together on the grasslands, and with the arrival of autumn, more and more fat and strong livestock are driven to the market for trade.

Caravans from Youzhou and Bingzhou were already waiting at the market with various supplies, including salt, grain, cloth, tea, and even sugar.

These innumerable commodities can be said to have caught the attention of those Qiang people. They are all willing to use their livestock to exchange items with these Youzhou merchants.

"Autumn is here, and it's time to harvest autumn grain. This time, Cao Cao will probably be able to harvest a lot of grain in Sanfu and Chang'an.

This old thief has endured until now and still refuses to do anything. If he goes to rob Sanfu now, Cao Cao is probably prepared for it, but he doesn't know what Cao Cao is thinking. "

Ma Dai was talking to himself. When he was free, he would also think about the battle situation between Xiliang and Chang'an.

"General, Missy has brought someone here."

"Well, it's good to come, I'm short of manpower here, hahaha,,,,,,"

The battle between Xiliang and Chang'an has not yet started, and Cao Cao really can't bear it. The last time Ma Chao looted 20 shi, grain and grass, he didn't even intend to fight back. If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would have commanded troops to advance It's time for revenge.

In Zhuo County, in Chen Feng's mansion, the servants are busy decorating with lights and festoons, because today is a great day for Chen Feng to marry Zhen Mi, and the whole Youzhou and Zhongshan have been busy for a long time for today.

As for Zhen Mi's original husband, Yuan Xi, the second son of the Yuan family, was finally redeemed by Yuan Shang more than ten days ago. No one would sympathize with such a soft bone, and Chen Feng didn't bother to talk to him.

"My lord, I, Cao Xing, didn't come late today, hahaha, come here, be quick and bring up my congratulatory gift."

Cao Xing came over early in the morning to join in the fun. It seemed that wherever there was excitement, there was Cao Xing. Besides, today was Chen Feng's big day, so he definitely couldn't be absent.

"You guy, why are you here so early today? Wen Yuan and the others probably won't come until an hour later. Are you bored at home?"

"This, hehehe,,,,,,"

"If you have something to say, don't hide it."
