Ma Chao's words really stunned both Cao Ang and Cao Tai on the spot.
After reflecting with great difficulty, Cao Taicai bravely said: "As we all know, although the Ma family dominates the three states of Liang, Yong and Si, their military strength is only 150,000.
In the previous battle in Hanzhong, the Ma family had already lost 20,000 people.
There is more than enough.
Now that Yanshi has been defeated, the Ma family's fighting strength is less than 100,000.
I don't know why the Hussar General is still so aggressive."
Ma Chao glanced at Cao Tai and did not answer.
Instead, he sat down and said slowly: "Gongda, let the Ministry of War draw up a letter and mobilize all the strength of the Ma family to fight against Yuan Shao."
"I don't know what level of combat readiness this time is."
Xun You bowed and asked for instructions.
"Level 2 is enough.
A mere Yuan Shao can't even use level 3 combat readiness."
Ma Chao waved his hand and made the decision.
When Xun You heard this, he actually took out a booklet from his arms.
After flipping through it for a while, he said, "If we use it to mobilize county soldiers to attack, then under the rule of the Ma family, we can mobilize three."
"There are too many.
If we only issue a war readiness order in Sili Prefecture, how many people can be mobilized?"
Ma Chao frowned slightly after hearing this, waved his hand and said: "It costs a lot to mobilize troops in other states and counties, and it is difficult to guarantee combat strength.
For the time being, we can only Just recruit county soldiers from the Sili area."
"More than 70,000 people can be obtained."
Xun You immediately answered.
Cao Ang and Cao Tai saw Ma Chao like this and were puzzled.
However, the faces of the generals in the banquet hall were full of anger and excitement: among the team system, the most prominent one was naturally the world-famous Ma Jiajun.
They are all professional combat arms with extremely high salaries.
However, in addition to this, Ma Chao has already formulated a combat readiness level in order to deal with the tactics of the crowds of princes.
When the Ma Jiajun is unable to respond, it activates secondary combat readiness.
In this way, the county soldiers responsible for guarding the prefectures and counties under the Ma family will respond.
These county soldiers also receive half-day training on weekdays, and their combat effectiveness is quite good.
If you receive the Ma family's standard equipment and temper it on the battlefield, you will become a first-class elite soldier of the Ma family.
In addition, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Bu, and Wu Anguo also had 50,000 reserve troops.
Taking into account the original strength of the Ma family, there were already more than 250,000 troops.
Of course, if there is a third level of combat readiness, after mobilizing the county soldiers under the county soldiers, the Ma family will face a counterattack from the enemy.
And if the fourth-level combat readiness is activated and the militiamen who participate in training during the off-season are also mobilized, it will definitely be a life-or-death moment for the Ma family.
Under the rule of the entire Ma family, at least two million troops can be mobilized, making it unstoppable.
After hearing Guo Jia explain this clearly, Cao Ang and Cao Tai's expressions changed drastically.
They looked at Ma Chao with a bit of fear in their eyes: If so, even if all the heroes from Guandong attack Ma's house, they still have no chance of winning.
Ma Mengqi made such a big armament plan, which really confused the eyes of the world.
But this was just the beginning.
After the army of 250,000, Ma Chaofu asked Meng Da again: "Guan Shanxue has contacted the mercenaries from the Western Regions.
At this time, has the handover between the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War been completed?"
"My lord, Guan Shanxue has purchased 20,000 slave soldiers from Anxi.
These people are brave and good at fighting and are very good at military formation.
After arriving at the Ma family's military camp, they were grateful for the Ma family's escape from slavery and wanted to be under the rule of the Ma family.
After settling down, they joined the reserve army one after another, actively preparing for war, and willing to fight for the Ma family."
It was Xun You who said this.

After Xun You finished his report, Mengda took a step forward and continued: "In addition, Guan Shanxue has also contacted a mercenary army of 30,000 people from the Parthian Empire.
They are on standby in Liangzhou.
If the lord agrees, Can be sent to the front line immediately.”
"Where is the Great Qin Empire?"
Ma Chao shook his head, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with Guan Shanxue's progress.
"Reporting to my lord, the Parthian Empire and the Great Qin Empire are mortal enemies.
Guan Shanxue once attracted a group of Great Qin Empire mercenaries.
However, the Parthian Empire's slave corps fought to the death.
In the end, they had no choice but to worry about the Great Qin Empire and the far-flung places in the west, so they had to Cut off the road to Great Qin."
After hearing this, Ma Chao nodded.
After listening to Xun You's explanation, he naturally remembered that the vast empire to the west of the Han Dynasty with an area of thousands of miles was the Alsace Dynasty established by the Persian Scythians. ".
The Parthian Empire dominated Central Asia and completely monopolized the Silk Road trade, arousing the covetousness of the Qin and Roman Empire in the West.
A great war broke out.
Crassus, the "Red", Pompey and Caesar became the Three Giants of Rome.
The consul who destroyed Spartacus led an army to attack Parthia.
However, the powerful Qin Dynasty was in the vast middle The nomads were severely defeated on the Asian grasslands.
Crassus was captured, and the Parthian king chopped off his head, filled Crassus's mouth with gold and sent it back to laugh at the greedy Qin people.
Since then, although the Qin Dynasty continued to launch wars against Parthia, it was always defeated.
Due to this period of national hatred, the Parthian Empire and the Qin Empire were at odds with each other and would never stop fighting.
Ma Chao was so whimsical that he only tried to use finance and trade to tap the population there, but ignored the intolerance between races.
However, this result also made Ma Chao somewhat pleased, and he said: "We will send Parthia's 30,000 mercenaries to the front line, plus the Parthian Empire's 20,000 slave legions to serve as cannon fodder, it should be enough."
Cao Ang and Cao Tai looked at each other in shock.
They had only seen a few words like the Parthian Empire, the Qin Empire, and the Parthian Empire from historical records, but they never thought that there were mercenaries in that land. this profession.
However, Ma Chao quietly introduced these people into the Central Plains and at the same time transferred them to the front line to serve as a death squad.
This really made Cao Ang and Cao Tai unbelievable.
Could it be that the refugees under the Ma family couldn't be used in such a war.
In the eyes of the two of them, they expressed such doubts at the same time.
They couldn't figure out why Ma Chao went to such trouble.
"The lives of the people of the Han Dynasty are very precious."
Ma Chao seemed to see the doubts in the eyes of the two men.
After explaining in one sentence, he said: "In this way, the Ma family already has an army of more than 300,000 people.
It is enough.
Yuan Shao was stunned, but I think this amount is still a bit light."
"Monta"
"I'm here" "I want you to go north to the outside of the fortress immediately and tell the Qiang and Xiongnu tribes that I need 100,000 cavalry and ask them to rush to Chang'an within ten days.
If they are even half a minute late, let them figure out the consequences themselves."
"Take orders" Meng Ta has been in charge of Qiang affairs for many years, and has good relations with Qingyi, Baima, Huangyang and other major Qiang tribes.
With just one word, the Qiang people will definitely help in a big way.
As for the Xiongnu Liu Bao, it was even simpler.
With an order, Liu Bao would naturally know what to do.
It was only then that Cao Ang and Cao Taicai suddenly remembered that Ma Chao was well-known outside the Great Wall, and the Ma family's products maintained the survival of the herdsmen outside the Great Wall.
He gave an order, not to mention a hundred thousand cavalry, but an army of three hundred thousand or five hundred thousand, could also be mobilized.
I'm afraid this is a small test to make Yuan Shao retreat.
"An army of more than 400,000 people is a bit interesting now."
Ma Chao stood up slowly at this time, walked to Cao Ang and Cao Tai, and asked as if the breeze was blowing on his face: "Such an army is enough to leave the pass.

Let Cao Mengde abandon Yingchuan County."
"Of course," Cao Ang was shocked at the tip of the iceberg of the Ma family's strength.
He couldn't help but be impressed by Ma Chao's courage at this moment.
He swallowed hard before replying in a gloomy manner.
Afterwards, Cao Ang suddenly thought that the big crocodile of the Ma family had never shown any true anger.
If it devotes all its strength to sending troops to Guandong, it is not impossible to sweep the world.
But why has it been so forbearing?
Why Ma Chao, who saw Cao Ang's thoughts, couldn't help but feel a little depressed: "You think I don't want to do this?
You ancients don't know that fighting means burning money."
If the Ma family is really like you think, one battle can destroy the economic foundation of the entire Ma family and even the Han Dynasty.
At that time, I will still play nonsense:
