Liu Feng, who was far away in Jincheng, did not know that there was a Han traitor far away, and he actually threatened to retreat millions of soldiers with his tight tongue.
Drive him away.
Liu Feng issued an order for the army to rest for five days before starting training. Anyone who slacks off will be killed without mercy.
Soon, the five-day period was approaching. All the armies inside and outside the city began to drill, including newly-built soldiers from the three battalions of Ma Chao, Pang De, and Yan Xing.[
On the other hand, the trusted governor of Liangzhou also took office in Jincheng and began to deal with many things in Liangzhou, taking over the mess left by Ma Teng and Han Sui.
During this period, we were dealing with the removal of prisoners' armor and their resettlement, etc.
After all, Ma Teng and Han Sui were extremely aggressive. If they had too many troops, there would be more prisoners. Although the Han Dynasty could afford to support them, there was no need to be so aggressive.
Arranging to return to one's hometown and expand the people's strength is the best way to go.
Anyway, Liu Feng was stationed in Jincheng, and his civil and military affairs were all in good order, and he was on the right track in a short period of time.
On this day, Liu Feng led many soldiers and guards out of Jincheng and came outside the city, intending to inspect the camps of Pang De, Yan Xing and Ma Chao.
Although preparations for war are being intensified now, it is not a war period, so the Thirteenth Route Army near Jincheng are all stationed outside Jincheng, each with its own battalion, independent of each other.
Liu Feng led everyone to Ma Chao's camp first.
Now, Ma Chao's camp is no different from the general Han army camp. There are two camp gates in the north and south, with fences on the outside and numerous tents and a school field inside.
When Liu Feng arrived, Ma Chao received the news first and led the generals in the camp to greet him.
"Meet the general." At the gate of the camp, Ma Chao, dressed in golden armor and full of heroic spirit, led the crowd to salute Liu Feng who was coming on horseback.
"Your Majesty, please excuse me."
Liu Feng smiled slightly, led everyone to dismount, and personally helped Ma Chao up.
"Thank you, General."
Liu Feng was generous, but Ma Chao and others did not dare to be arrogant in the slightest, and continued to salute meticulously.
This time, Liu Feng came not to appease the general, nor to show off. Instead, he wanted to know the combat effectiveness of Ma Chao's newly built Han army.
Therefore, after seeing it, I immediately got into the main topic.
"Now, it has been more than twenty days since you were ordered to build a large army, and it is about to send troops to the Qiangzhong. I came here today just to ask you, what is the possible war cry?"
Liu Feng asked Ma Chaodao with a smile.[
"I can fight." Ma Chao took a deep breath and said confidently.
From that day, after listening to Liu Feng's words, Ma Chao began to notice his own insignificance and worked hard to become stronger. From the original soldiers of Ma Teng and Han Sui, he selected 6,000 people.
They practiced very hard day and night. Because of Ma Chao's hard work and the fact that the army had its previous foundation, its combat strength recovered quickly. Apart from anything else, Ma Chao was very confident in dealing with the Qiang army with extremely poor discipline.
"good."
When Liu Feng saw the confidence and energy in Ma Chao's eyes, he couldn't help but feel relieved and said hello.
"Let's go, train the army, and let Gu broaden his horizons." Immediately afterwards, Liu Feng said, and walked into the camp.
"promise."
Ma Chaoshan was not afraid of the general's personal inspection, so he agreed and led everyone in with Liu Feng.
"Dong dong dong."
Amidst the thundering sound of drums, Liu Feng saw Ma Chao's army, which was indeed very majestic. Liu Feng inspected for a while and left with satisfaction.
Instead he went to Pang De and Yan Xing's military camp.
Like Ma Chao, Pang De and Yan Xing also worked hard and managed the army of the camp very well. On this day, Liu Feng really got a satisfactory answer.
When it was getting dark, Liu Feng led his troops back to the city.
"Ma Chao, Yan Xing, and Pang De are really useful." Liu Feng praised them endlessly on the way back to the city.
"General, someone who claims to be an envoy of the Qiang people has arrived. Lord Deng Zhi is currently receiving him." The moment Liu Feng returned to the mansion, a soldier came forward to report.
"Oh." Liu Feng was a little surprised. Then he laughed and said, "I didn't go to find them, but they came to find me first. Just in time, they mobilized to investigate."
Immediately, Liu Feng got off his horse, walked into the mansion, and went straight into the hall.
In the hall, three people were sitting on their knees, namely Zhang Tao, Daying, and Deng Zhi. The three of them were chatting wordlessly when they suddenly saw Liu Feng walking in, and they immediately became energetic.
"Meet the general." Deng Zhi took the lead in saluting.
Zhang Tao, Daying immediately knew that this person was the real person in charge of the Han Dynasty. He was so famous that he was even the invincible crown prince and the king's general.
However, they considered themselves Qiang ministers, so they did not pay homage to Deng Zhi together, but only raised their fists in salute.
"No courtesy." Liu Feng raised his hand to Deng Zhi, and then looked at Zhang Tao and Daying. Forget Daying, he is a standard Qiang person, but Zhang Tao is dressed in a very standard Han dress.[
The moment Liu Feng saw Zhang Tao, he called him a traitor in his heart. Although he was from China, but he wanted to help the barbarians, what is this but a traitor?
However, although Liu Feng was a traitor in his heart, he did not show it on his face. After saying goodbye, he came to the table and sat down without any trace.
"Are you two envoys of the Qiang people?" Liu Feng asked after he knelt down and knew the truth.
"Exactly." Zhang Tao stepped forward to answer. Then he said: "I am Zhang Tao." Then he pointed at the big eagle and said: "This is the big eagle. He is the envoy of the iron-bone Shanyu."
A Han came to see the crown prince of the Han Dynasty and the king's general, but he claimed to be an envoy of the Qiang people. Zhang Tao's words were not blushing or breathless, but he was still a little arrogant.
It's really disgusting.
"I wonder where your ancestral home is? Do you have any relatives at home?" Liu Feng suddenly asked.
Zhang Tao was stunned when he heard this and was really confused. Aren't they here on a mission? What does it have to do with where his ancestral home is?
However, there seems to be nothing to hide in this aspect. After thinking about it, Zhang Tao said: "My ancestral home is in Chenliu, Yuzhou, and I still have father and brother at home."
"I ordered his ancestral graves to be dug up. As for his father and brother, they were given to other people as slaves." Liu Feng turned around and opened his mouth and said to Deng Zhi.
Suddenly, Deng Zhi, Zhang Tao, Daying and others in the hall were stunned.
What kind of pattern is this? They are envoys. Why did Liu Feng do this after saying only a few words? Digging people's ancestral graves and condemning other people's fathers and brothers as slaves.
Is this how to treat an envoy?
Deng Zhi was stunned and therefore failed to agree immediately.
Zhang Tao reacted quickly. His heart was filled with anger, but facing Liu Feng, he had to suppress it.
"Huhuhu." Zhang Tao took a few deep breaths, and then said in a deep voice: "What do you mean, General."
