In addition to the county soldiers guarding various counties, Ma Chao's main battle force was only 35,000.
Due to the battle in Yongzhou this time, there were still some injuries.
However, after timely treatment by the military doctors accompanying the army, there have not yet been a large number of deaths due to injuries.
But after statistics, Ma Chao sent out troops this time, with up to 30,000 troops in hand.
In this expedition, Ma Chao was indeed the most thorough one, sending out even his trump card heavy cavalry and heavy infantry.
The leading general is naturally Ma Chao.
He led fifteen thousand men.
The vanguard, Pang De and Pang Lingming, led five thousand cavalry to rush to the aid of the Eastern Qiang tribe.
As for Brother Chou, he led five thousand people to help Guangwei County to confront Yang Ang.
Jia Xu and Fazheng also led five thousand people to attack Xianyang.
They must use force to coerce, lure with heavy money, or use rumors to trap Lu Bu in Xianyang County before Lu Bu arrived.
At the same time, the Shadow Battalion was fully activated, and secrets began to infiltrate into Wudu, Chang'an and other directions, inquiring about information or spreading rumors.
All in all, after Ma Chao made his decision, his political system immediately started functioning.
The Zhongshu Province formulated the combat strategy, the Menxia Province investigated and filled the gaps, and the Shangshu Province fully supported and cooperated to win the war.
Under the operation of the three provinces, the war machine under Ma Chao's rule set out to march during the people's time, and entered Beidi County along the way.
When he saw You Chu again, Ma Chao still didn't see any panic in this guy.
After You Chu saluted Ma Chao, he said to Ma Chao: "My lord, Yan Xing's attack seems to be menacing.
But I don't know that it is only adding momentum to the Ma family."
"Well, I have already expected this.
What I didn't expect is that you didn't buy Beidi County."
Ma Chao sat down in the seat of the Beidi County Sheriff's Mansion and joked to You Chu .
"If that old dog Han Sui had half the talent and strategy of my lord, you might think about it."
You Chu didn't seem to have much respect for Ma Chao at all, and actually echoed Ma Chao's joke: "But later you Think about it.
Follow the old man Dog, I can't bring peace to the people in the county, and I can't get a few hot Hu girls, so I still want to be a good official of the Ma family, and maybe I will give it to my lord after he conquers Liangzhou.
To some fair-eyed beauties."
"Okay, you're not afraid of getting out of hand," Ma Chao scolded with a smile.
For some reason, when he saw this You Chu, the grief of losing his father in his heart actually eased a lot, and he couldn't help but ask happily: "How is the war going now?"
"It's not that good.
It's just that the guys from Dongqiang have been too comfortable in the past year.
They have relaxed their vigilance against Xiqiang, so Yan Xing took advantage of it."
You Chu put away his joking expression and sat down at Ma Chao's signal.
After getting to the side seat, he continued: "Yan Xing came with a fierce offensive.
He caught the Dong Qiang off guard, but later he and Su Taishou opened the city gate to take in the defeated Dong Qiang soldiers.
The Dong Qiang guys had recovered their strength.
At this time, the lord's army had arrived and defeated Yan.
Okay, just a fight."
"Oh.
Prefect You is so sure."
Ma Chao was stunned for a moment: If so, he should challenge Lu Bu.
After all, that side might be the real battlefield.
"That's natural."
After You Chu took a sip of tea, he didn't care about the tattered official uniform he was wearing due to defending the city.
After casually wiping his hands on it, he said to Ma Chao: "My lord does not know something.
This request for soldiers was the idea of a certain person and Su Taishou."
"You are presumptuous, you know that the military situation is like a fire, and there will always be disaster."

Ma Chao changed his face angrily, and then thinking that he was already the most powerful person in the Ma family, he restrained his anger and said to You Chu: "You only know that Dong Zhuo of Chang'an has sent Lu Bu Led 30,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry to attack Fufeng."
You Chu was furious before and was a little disapproving of it, but after Ma Chao quietly told the last piece of news, You Chu's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly prostrated and said: "I don't know such a military situation because of my humble position, which caused the army to lose its strategic position, so I am willing to be punished."
Ma Chao was silent for a moment without saying a word.
After thinking about it, he said: "You and Su Ze are both sensible people, and you will definitely not ask for help on your own.
Tell me your reasons first, and I will consider it before punishing you."
"Thank you, Lord, for giving me the grace to defend myself."
You Chu truly admired Ma Chao's words.
In such a major military matter, there is no way to advance or retreat.
It is really an ambitious state of mind.
"My Lord, I don't know, Yan Xing only has 10,000 troops under his command this time, and the remaining 40,000 troops are all from the Western Qiang tribe."
You Chu lowered his head and saw that Ma Chao was indeed listening, and then continued: "Setting up the Han-Qiang trade independently and openly After that, Beidi and Xinping counties all benefited, and the Dongqiang tribe was also grateful for the lord's wise act."
Ma Chao felt a little irritable, but after taking a sip of tea, he patiently listened to You Chu continue to explain.
"The Eastern Qiang prospered from this, and even plundered the Xiongnu, Yuezhi and other tribes and came to the Han Qiang trading house to sell supplies.
The people of the Western Qiang had already heard about this.
More than half a year ago, some Western Qiang tribes moved eastward.
"Bi Zhi and Su Taishou strictly abide by the Lord's teachings, treat them equally, and gradually influence them to become Chinese."
"In the past year, the Western Qiang tribe has benefited from many tribes.
This has caused the Western Qiang tribe to have two voices.
One is to migrate the entire tribe and join the Eastern Qiang tribe to live in peace with the Han people.
The other voice is, He advocated adhering to the traditions of the Qiang people, annexing Han and Qiang trading houses, and plundering Han lands."
Seeing this, Ma Chao was gradually attracted.
He never imagined that the business he made to make money would have such great influence.
"In this Yan Xing rebellion, all the tribes under his command are die-hards of the Western Qiang.
It is also because of this that I and Su Taishou dare to conclude that the Eastern Qiang will win for no other reason.
It is just that the lord said it well, in order to protect their vested interests. , even if these capitalists are put on the guillotine, they will not blink an eye.”
"Thus, although Yan Xing seemed to be menacing and fought a good battle, he actually lacked the rear force and was unable to advance.
On the other hand, on our side, the defeated troops of the Eastern Qiang tribe have been gathered together, and everyone is asking for a fight.
So.
My subordinates have concluded that Yan Xing will be defeated in just one battle."
Having said this, Ma Chao somewhat understood what You Chu and Su Ze meant, but he still didn't understand them completely.
He raised his hand, stared at You Chu and asked, "In that case, why do you need to ask someone to send troops?"
"If my lord can defeat Yan Xing quickly with a thunderous strike this time, there will be no Iron Qiang alliance in the world."
You Chu raised his head and said these words with a gleaming light in his eyes that almost made Ma Chao dare not look directly at him.
Ma Chao was confused at first, but then when he saw You Chu's excited expression, his eyes suddenly burst into light, and he shouted: "Okay"
At this time, Ma Chao finally understood what You Chu and Su Ze meant: Dong Qiang might not lose to Yan Xing in this battle.
But after Ma Chao defeated Yan Xing in person, and defeated Yan Xing quickly and severely, the grassland would be enveloped by the wisdom of General Tianwei.
After defeating the Xiqiang die-hards led by Yan Xing this time, Han Sui's leader of the Tieqiang Alliance lost even the slightest prestige.
On the contrary, the entire Qiang people will be tightly trapped by the economic network set up by the Ma family, and will completely become a vassal of the Ma family.
"Very good, very good."
Ma Chao finally laughed, helped You Chu up personally, and said to him: "It seems that one county can no longer contain the talents of you and Master Su Wen."
"I don't dare in my humble position."
Although You Chu was helped up by Ma Chao, he still apologized: "Although my humble position is dedicated to the Ma family, I don't know the overall situation has changed, which led to the failure of the army's strategy."
"It doesn't matter," Ma Chao said calmly, stroking You Chu's back: "I don't know the pros and cons of this, and knowing this now, I will do this even more."
"I would like to thank my lord for your forgiveness.
Next time I humble myself, I will write down the reason and submit it to my lord from Zhongshu Sheng."

"It's good to know you from this.
You Taishou is really a smart and upright minister of the Ma family."
After saying this, Ma Chao felt relieved and joked to You Chu again: "I don't know that there are several golden and blue-eyed Hu in the backyard of Taishou You."
Women as concubines” "Three Three" You Chu didn't realize it for a moment and was immediately fooled by Ma Chao.
"Hahaha" Ma Chao laughed.
After that, his eyes ignited with blazing fire, and he said to himself: Yan Xing, you can be regarded as Ma Chao's old enemy in history.
And in this battle, let me completely erase your existence. s: First of all, I would like to thank Mu Yuanfeng and Maitian for the reward.
Secondly, I have received definite information that someone will conspire to blow up my ass tomorrow.
So that’s it for today, thank you for watching
