    Jincheng is located at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains and the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor. It is named after the large amount of golden sand it produces. It is also known as the "Little Chang'an beyond the Great Wall". With its tall city and large population, it is the largest city in Xiliang and is also the place where it is governed.  !

    In the mansion of the governor of Xiliang, 'General Andi' Ma Teng was exchanging views on the current situation with his sworn brother Han Sui. They had been discussing for two hours. Ma Xiu, the second son of the Ma family, was serving tea!

    Xiao Yi regarded Ma Teng and Han Sui as evil wolves. In turn, the two of them feared Xiao Yi like a tiger. They used tens of thousands of troops to break Hangu Pass and descend to Chang'an City. They used the heads of the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si.  He killed the skull lamp, and the entire army of 50,000 Qiang cavalry was wiped out at the snap of a finger. With this military exploit and this domineering power, he was definitely a beautiful tiger that looked proud of the world!

    "Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. That 'Ghost-faced Xiao Lang' has conquered all the land in Guanzhong, and his men are strong with strong soldiers and horses. Next, he will inevitably spy on the counties of Xiliang, and we must be on guard!"

    Han Sui, nicknamed the "Nine Bends of the Yellow River", was a meticulous thinker, the best at strategizing, and had more tricks up his sleeve than the average scholar. It was precisely because of this deceit that he was able to sit among the various warlords in Xiliang.  The second position, as for the first place, is naturally his sworn brother Ma Teng!

    "Xiao Yi has just captured Guanzhong, and his foothold is not yet stable. His troops have gone through several battles and have become exhausted. I don't think he can accomplish much in a short period of time. Even if he does come, I'm not afraid. It's a big deal."  Soldier against soldier, sword against sword, fight to the death!"

    Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang, is tall and has a loud voice. He looks like a standard soldier when he walks.

    In fact, this is not surprising. The ancestor of the Ma family is "General Fubo" Ma Yuan, a famous founding hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was one of the twenty-four generals of Yuntai. He was deeply relied on by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty and often sent him to pacify the Western barbarians.  , so the children of the Ma family have been in the army for generations, and one of them even settled in Longyou to guard Xicui for the Han Dynasty!

    Ma Teng's father once served as the "Tianshui Lan Ganwei" and later married a Qiang girl. This means that Ma Teng is half Qiang blood. This special status allows him to become a famous general of the Han family while also serving as a Qiang girl.  People were equally at home there, so Ma Teng followed his father's example and married a Qiang girl, and gave birth to three sons - Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie!

    In addition, Ma Teng's mother and wife are both from the "Zhelan Tribe" of the Qiang people, and they are nobles in the tribe, so he is determined to marry a Qiang woman to his eldest son Ma Chao, and even finds a suitable candidate.  Got it!

    "Haha! Meng Qi has the 'Sun Moon Frost Sky Horse' on his crotch, and the 'Tiger Head Zhan Golden Spear' in his hand. He is so brave that all the tribes of Xiqiang respectfully call him - General Shenwei. If my brother is such a tiger, he is naturally not afraid of that.  Xiao Yi!" Han Sui complimented loudly on the surface, but he was deeply worried in his heart. The reason why Ma Teng could sit in the position of the leader of various warlords in Xiliang was based on three conditions!

    First, he comes from a famous family. If you take the name after General Fubo, it will be an iron-clad sign that can be used in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty!

    The second is the rich mineral deposits around Jincheng. Every year, tens of thousands of gold sands flow into Ma Teng's pocket. With money, naturally he will not have to worry about soldiers, horses, food and grass!

    Third, and most importantly, he has a good son. Ma Chao is only 19 years old this year, but he is invincible. He has conquered Xiliang without any opponent. He once broke through the camps of seven Qiang tribes in one day.  The heads were rolling and blood flowed like rivers, so the Qiang people feared him and called him - General Shenwei!

    "Haha, my dear brother, you are so complimentary!" When Ma Teng mentioned his son, although he was modest, his face showed a proud look, but then he sank again and asked his second son, Ma Xiu, "Where is Meng Qi now?"  ? Why don¡¯t you come out to see the ceremony!¡±

    Han Sui and Ma Teng are sworn brothers, and they are the uncles of Ma Chao's brothers according to their seniority. Now the two have been talking in the lobby for a long time, but Ma Chao did not come out to greet them. This is quite rude!

    "Well, the eldest brother, he occasionally feels cold and is not suitable to come out to visit!" Ma Tie's face turned pale and he was hesitant to speak. Among the three brothers of the Ma family, the eldest brother Ma Chao is brave, and the third brother Ma Tie is clever.  Be loyal and never lie!

    "To be honest, where has your eldest brother gone?" Ma Teng's face suddenly darkened as he knew his son was more like his father.

    "Forgive me, father. I heard that the Qiang people were defeated and even my cousin Zhelan was taken prisoner. Last night, I took Pang De, Ma Dai and a dozen guards to Guanzhong to rescue people. He also said  Let¡¯s meet that ¡®Ghost Face Xiao Lang¡¯ for a while and see who is the real Kamui General!¡±

    "You are a traitor! You are a traitor! I don't know how high the heaven and earth are!" Ma Teng angrily shouted at him, but he didn't know how to reprimand him. After all, he was his own son. If he scolded a few words like 'bastard, bastard', it wouldn't be enough.  sinceI was also let in.

    Ma Chao's mother is the cousin of the previous generation's chief of the 'Zhelan Tribe', so he and Zhelan are cousins, and Ma Teng also intends to bring them together. In his opinion, a talented man and a beautiful woman can be a perfect match.  Continuing to expand the influence of the Ma family among the Qiang people, I did not expect that something like this would happen. Guanzhong is now Xiao Yi's place. It is really like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. I'm afraid it will be unpredictable.

    "Brother, calm down. The matter has come to this. It's better to send someone secretly to Guanzhong and bring Meng Qi's nephew back!" Han Sui comforted him in a low voice, but he had other ideas in his mind, "Ma Chao is brave and invincible, but Xiao Yi  It¡¯s not like he dares to provoke it. If these two people fight, no matter who wins or loses, it won¡¯t be a bad thing for him. If he is lucky enough, both sides will suffer, then~~"

    "Hey! That's all we have to do!" With a long sigh, Ma Teng quickly began to dispatch his generals, and the soldiers secretly sneaked into the pass. He must bring his son back. I hope everything can be done in time!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Chang'an, the largest city in Guanzhong, is a prosperous and prosperous place. It is surrounded by eight rivers inside, which facilitates business travel. Outside, there is a straight official road leading directly to Luoyang, connecting all counties in Shandong. Thousands of people come in and out every day, and it is lively.  Incomparably, due to the recruitment of soldiers recently, its prosperity has exploded several times!

    Looking at it, there are countless young people from Guanzhong who come to apply for recruitment every day. They are organized by various governments. Some come by car, some come by boat, and some come from wealthy families and bring their own weapons and horses. Every time a group arrives,  , officers from each battalion immediately rushed to fight for it. This expansion of the army was on a large scale. Black Armor Cavalry was recruiting, Mo Dao Soldiers were recruiting, and the trapped camp was recruiting. Even the Yellow Squirrel's "Digging Army" was also snaring Guanzhong everywhere.  Those colleagues in the army, with more wolves and less meat, in order to compete for the best sources of soldiers, the battalions are like eight immortals crossing the sea, using all their methods!

    Some people sent veterans with good oral skills to persuade them everywhere, promising various preferential terms, and some simply laid out wine and meat at the entrance of the camp. When people came, they would not say anything, but first gave them a warm welcome, and then they were brought into the camp. There were even some extraordinary ones,  They directly dispatched manpower to set up teahouses and wine shops dozens of miles away from Chang'an City, specifically to intercept the troops sending troops from various places. They were very busy!

    When he came, he brought a carload of people, but when he left, he brought a large number of cattle, sheep, and even horses. This was the settling-in allowance given by the Governor-General Xiao Yi. Counties that recruited a large number of soldiers also received additional rewards of war horses. Anyway, these  Cattle, sheep, and horses are obtained for free from the Qiang people. Instead of keeping them in their hands, it is better to give them to the people. The land in Guanzhong is fertile and there are many pastures. With these cattle and sheep used as seeds, the number will definitely double in a few years.  , are you still afraid that there will be no war horses or cattle available?

    Moreover, when these horses are brought to the people, they can greatly facilitate the young people in Guanzhong to practice riding and shooting. In a few years, when the young people come to join the army with their martial arts skills, won't they also come back with their horses and men? This account Xiao Yi  The calculation is very clear, he will not suffer!

    Because of the favorable recruitment conditions, as many as 40,000 young men from Guanzhong came to join the army in just a few days, and all of them were strong and strong in character. Many of them were skilled in martial arts. Such soldiers only needed a little training.  , is a tiger and wolf division!

    "Haha! The best of Guanzhong, the brave warriors, are all in my hands!" Looking at the endless stream of soldiers joining the army, Xiao Yi couldn't help but laugh up to the sky, and revised a sentence of the later Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, which shows the pride in his heart  !

    However, Xiao Yi was not satisfied with the number of 40,000. Guanzhong has always been a place for elite soldiers. Although it has been severely damaged by the two thieves Li and Guo in recent years, the foundation is still there. There are millions of Lao Qin with a martial spirit.  People are still there. The Qin Empire, which had only 5 million people at that time, recruited a full army of 1 million troops in order to annex the six eastern countries. Almost one out of every two men in Guanzhong was a soldier. Excluding the elderly and young children, basically  It means that all the people are soldiers!

    Xiao Yi has no plans to recruit millions of troops, which is unrealistic unless all the manpower in Guanzhong is squeezed out, but he also has a goal in mind - one hundred thousand!

    He wants to recruit 100,000 soldiers this time. If there are too many, it will damage the people's strength, but if there are too few, it will not be enough.

    One hundred thousand, just right!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
