"Because the brigade of horse thieves is too big, it is easy to attract the pursuit of the cavalry teams of the three 10,000 households on the left, middle and right! Therefore, the number of horse thieves operating in the northern part of the Mobei area generally does not exceed 300, but this group of horse thieves has a total of 70,000 people, which is very large. Logically speaking, such a brigade of horse thieves should have been wiped out by the cavalry teams of the three 10,000 households on the three 10,000 households on the scale."

"Yeah." Xu Shao nodded and said in a deep voice, "When you say this, I have also discovered some flaws. This group of horse thieves seems to have been trained, but they are very rough and even the storm-mountain cannot be maintained well! But this is enough to prove that they are not ordinary horse thieves. Judging from the current situation, they should be waiting for reinforcements!"

The cavalry said in a frightened voice: "In other words, there are still a large group of horse thieves coming here?"

"It should be so!" Xu Shao said in a deep voice, "The safety of the eldest lady and the young master is of great importance, and no mistakes are allowed! You will immediately lead thirty brothers to leave the brigade and rush to the Wanhu Old Camp of the left headquarters to report the news, asking General Zhou Cang to condemn the army to rescue him quickly. Remember, 100,000 is urgent!"

"Abide by the order!"

The cavalry clasped his fists and lit up thirty cavalry and left the brigade and quickly disappeared on the snow field. Almost as the thirty cavalry had just left the brigade, the horse thieves that were far behind the brigade had also been separated by more than a hundred miles. They chased after him with their tails. Xu Shao became more and more sure that the gang of horse thieves had a great background.

At the foot of Jiluo Mountain, there are ten thousand households in the left side.

The central army was crowded with people, and Zhou Cang was summoning more than 30 thousand households under his command to discuss matters.

Due to the unremitting support of the three households in Mobei and the benefits brought by the trade between Mobei and Guanzhong, the Han people's power in Mobei is rapidly expanding, and the continuous meritorious veterans sent from Guanzhong and Liangzhou to Mobei and Zhoucang, and the power of the three households under Pei Yuanshao was rapidly expanding at an astonishing speed.

By the end of the eighth year of Jian'an (195), the left ten thousand households under Zhou Cang alone had 36, 10,000 households, more than 500 households, and nearly 30,000 cavalry, of which Han cavalry accounted for 70%, and the rest were Qiang people, Yuezhi people and Wuhuan people who migrated from Hetao and Liangzhou.

Zhou Cang suddenly raised his right hand, and the noisy discussion in the tent suddenly stopped.

Zhou Cang looked around the thousand households and said in a deep voice: "Now it is basically certain that this group of horse thieves came from Youzhou. This must have been done by Yuan Shao's husband! Now seventeen caravans have been looted, and thirty-eight tribes have been disturbed. Our troops have lost more than 10,000 livestock and more than 1,000 people in total. This blood debt must be recovered."

"Report~~" Zhou Cang finished speaking, suddenly a small school rushed into the tent and said quickly, "The eldest lady and the young master encountered a horse thief attack two hundred miles south of the old camp. The situation is critical. Please condemn the army to aid quickly!"

"Ah!?" Zhou Cang took a breath of air conditioning and shouted sternly, "The left and right iron guards obey the order!"

"The last one will be here!"

With a loud response, the two great men took a step forward and stood proudly in front of Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Speed ​​three thousand guards to rescue the driver!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Abide by the order!"

The iron guards on both sides clasped their fists and took the order and left.

Two hundred miles south of the Wanhu Old Camp in the left side, Xu Shao's 300 iron cavalry had been completely surrounded!

When the convoy passed by a earthy mountain, a large group of horse thieves suddenly appeared on the vast snow field. Xu Shao took a quick look and took a breath of air. There were at least two thousand horse thieves! Obviously, this group of horse thieves had discovered that there must be important figures in the carriage guarded by Xu Shao's 300 cavalry, so he summoned his companions and encircled and annihilated them at all costs.

After all, Xu Shao had been through many battles and immediately took the convoy to Tushan. Tushan was steep on three sides, but the north was flat on the north, which was conducive to cavalry assault. Xu Shao placed all the remaining nearly 300 cavalry on the front and divided them into three front and back arrays. This is a array with both offense and defense. Although the troops were at an absolute disadvantage, Xu Shao did not intend to defend the enemy blindly.

This guy is a veteran of the eight hundred bandits. The butcher Ma advocates attack style and has long been integrated into his blood with the immortal iron-blooded military soul.

Xu Shao rode his horse and raised his sword, standing proudly in front of the first team. The wind blew the scarf behind Xu Shao's head, making a sound, just like the mane behind the lion's head, floating like the wind and waves.

When Liu Yan, Ma Zheng and his son were in danger in the desert, the Liang army advanced rapidly in Nanyang!

Ma Chao's two thousand cavalry caught up in time and intercepted Jin Shang and the three thousand Nanyang soldiers led by Liu Ye. Half a day later, Chen Dao, Gao Shun, and Liang troops also arrived one after another, surrounding Jin Shang's three thousand Shouchun's old subordinates. Only then did Jin Shang realize that he had been ruthlessly abandoned by Cao Cao, so he immediately gave up resistance and led his army to surrender.

Cao Cao's adviser Liu Ye escaped halfway and was out of his way.

At the end of the eighth year of Jian'an (195), Emperor Xian of Han, Ma Butcher finally repelled Cao's army after nearly half a year of war, successfully occupied Wancheng and regained his strategic advantage over Cao Cao's group. In the foreseeable future, once Ma Butcher stabilized the situation in the north and reached a tacit understanding with Yuan Shao, Yan and Yu states under Cao Cao's rule would have to face the endless harassment of Liang's cavalry again.

The only thing that made Ma Butcher unhappy was that the entire Nanyang County had been divided into two parts, and the Xinye counties in the south had been occupied by the Jingzhou army. Although Ma Butcher was determined to retake the southern counties, he was suffering from the onset of war in Bingzhou. The strategic focus of the Liang army must also be tilted towards Bingzhou, and Nanyang can only adopt strategic defense.

In the first month of the ninth year of Jian'an (196), Ma Yue appointed Chen Dao as the prefect of Nanyang, and led two thousand old subordinates of Nanyang and three thousand old subordinates of Shouchun who were surrendered, a total of five thousand army guarding Wancheng!

Although this move was opposed by some old subordinates of the Liang army, Ma Butcher chose to trust Chen Dao unconditionally! Ma Butcher always believed in one's purpose of employing people. He did not doubt people, but did not doubt people! Ma Butcher believed that Chen Dao was a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Since such a person made a decision, he would not change his course easily.
