"Ming Gong, General Fu Bo and General Tianwei have arrived."

"Let them come in."

Ma Qiang lowered his head and looked at the official documents copied by the State Council and said without raising his head.

After Ma Qiang finished reading it, he picked up a pen and wrote his opinions on the official document. Only then did he find that Ma Teng and his son had been sitting in the guest seat for a long time, and even the heat from the flower tea was gone.

"Oh, the two generals have been waiting for a long time. Today's holiday has just ended. Official documents from all over the country need to be handled urgently, but I have neglected them."

Ma Teng and the others rushed to say thank you for your hard work. The two sides exchanged a few greetings and began to get to the point.

"Meng Qi, you have completed the military academy subjects, right?"

Ma Qiang stood up and replied, "The last general has graduated from the rotation training class of the generals of the military academy."

"It's a pity. If it were a while in the evening, you could be in the same class as Liu Xuande and the others. They are still in class now." After Ma Qiang said that, he couldn't help but think of Liu Bei and others who were still in the military academy.

In short, they are about to finish the course.

After they came out, the airs of each army were almost done, especially those grassroots soldiers who had basically changed their minds, knowing who they were fighting for now, and knowing who their money bags were in their hands.

Ma Qiang's army was directly transferred to the accounts of various sergeants through the bank by the Ministry of Finance. Some sergeants were not used to it at the beginning, but they were not used to it. Every time they sent the money, they would withdraw all of them. After a few months, they found that the money could be withdrawn, and they would no longer be so persistent about cash.

After all, there is still the possibility of being stolen when you keep your cash in your hands. Not only will it not be less money, but it will also have interest.

More importantly, Sergeant Ma Qiang will have a pension account and a military retirement account. The pensions in these two accounts are placed in the name of the person designated by the sergeant. After being killed in battle or injured, the pension will be received. The military retirement will be paid regularly to the account after being discharged from the army to ensure that the veteran will not starve to death.

Under this system, the cost of sergeant rebellion becomes extremely high. If you want sergeant to follow you, Liu Bei, you can, pay the money first!

Ma Qiang didn't believe it anymore. Liu Bei or Cao Cao had so much money to pay these soldiers.

"I have heard that Guan Yunchang has the courage to be inappropriate, and the last general wants to compete with them!"

"That's simple. I'll give you a note later and ask you to go to the military academy to be a martial arts instructor, and you can compete with them.

Let’s not talk about this anymore. This is the situation in Liangzhou summarized by the intelligence department. You can take a look first.”

Ma Qiang pulled out a paper bag from the table and threw it to the two of them.

This Liangzhou information was actually rushed out this morning by Wang Yue and his people. The leader suddenly wanted something, and the people below had to prepare for something immediately. The people around the leader were also suffering.

The situation in Liangzhou is actually very simple.

After the news of the Ma Qiang Central Plains War reached Liangzhou, Han Sui immediately felt the crisis.

Although Ma Qiang's eyes seemed to have been in the Central Plains, Ma Teng and his son from Liangzhou had already surrendered, and it would take only a minute to kill him Han Sui.

Han Sui didn't want to surrender to Ma Qiang, nor did he want to sit still and wait for death.

Han Sui was unwilling to surrender to Ma Qiang mainly because he felt that he still had the capital to separatist. After all, although he had been defeated in the war with the Han court before, no one could really destroy him.

Starting from Fu Xie, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, Huangfu Song and other famous generals were not prominent for a while, but when they came to Xiliang, who was not sighing when they looked at the sand.

Since you don’t surrender, you have to prepare for a battle.

Ma Teng's departure from Liangzhou to join the imperial court not only frightened many Liangzhou tyrants, but also gave Han Sui the opportunity to integrate the heroes of Xiliang.

While Ma Qiang was conquering the Central Plains, Han Sui also joined forces with the powerful people from Liangzhou in Liangzhou, forming a self-protection alliance.

The goal of their alliance is very simple, which is to continue to rule as a local emperor.

"The General wants to take Liangzhou?"

After reading this information, Ma Teng immediately understood the meaning of Ma Qiang calling him and his father and son.

"Liangzhou was originally the territory of my great Han Dynasty. This is not a acquisition, but a recovery!"

Ma Qiang corrected Ma Teng's words and continued, "But the main energy of the Han court was to pacify the princes of Guandong, so there would not be too much power in Liangzhou.

There is already a legion of Xu Huang in Guanzhong. I want to establish another legion in Liangzhou. Meng Qi, you are the commander of the army, how about it?"

Ma Chao thought he could be the commander of the army, but he didn't expect that he was just a commander, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

As if seeing Ma Chao’s thoughts, Ma Qiang smiled and said, “I know Meng Qi is as brave as a god, but there is still a difference between leading a soldier and charging into battle.

You are still young, don't worry."

Ma Teng also patted Ma Chao's hand, and the general said this. If you are dissatisfied with it, you will be shameless.

Ma Chao then responded.

Ma Qiang nodded and continued, "As for the position of Legion Commander, I have to think about it again, but now there is no hurry.

On the contrary, this chief of staff needs to discuss with General Fu Bo. This chief of staff is best to be familiar with the situation of the princes of Liangzhou. Who do you have any recommendations?

Even if this person is not in our army now, it will be fine. I can call for a special order."

chief of staff?

Ma Teng knew that the chief of staff was actually the leader of the legion, which was indeed very important. He actually wanted to talk about Xun You and Jia Xu the most, but he also knew that Ma Qiang would not refer to these two people.

Next...

Ma Teng thought for a while, but he didn't expect a suitable person. In the end, he could only say, "General, Xiliang has few strategies. If he really wants to find someone...Pang De will be one."

Pound is the chief of staff?

There is really no one available to your Ma family army...

Ma Qiang waved, "Pang De is the leader, and it is not appropriate to be the chief of staff.

Forget it, since that's the case, let's just designate one person by the General's Mansion!"

Just as Ma Qiang was talking to Ma Chao, Ma Qiang remembered to come alone.

That is Lou Gui in Yanzhou.

Lou Gui, whose courtesy name was Zibo, was from Jingzhou. He had an old age with Cao Cao when he was young. He was originally under Liu Biao's command, but when he was ordered to recruit soldiers, a mutiny occurred. Therefore, he felt that he had no face to see Liu Biao again, so he defected to his old friend Cao Cao. Cao Cao was also very kind to him and often discussed military and national affairs with him.

In fact, people in later generations don’t know much about this person, but more people may think of his Taoist name.

He was the lay Buddhist Mengmei who made a plan to make Cao Cao pile sand and pour water in the battle of Tongguan.

Lao Luo designed him as a hermit in the book, which was to hide evil for Cao Cao. In fact, Lou Gui was killed by Cao Cao later because of improper words, but he had no chance to live in seclusion in Mount Zhongnan.
