Just when Ma Qiang's thinking had already flown to the point of saying "Don't deceive the young man and the poor", Lu Yu came in and said, "Mr. Ming, Grandpa Gan has arrived!"

"Oh? Let him come in, you guys go out."

As soon as Gan Shi came in, Ma Qiang felt something was wrong!

This guy's face actually started to have flesh!

"Master Gan, you live a good life. It seems that you have eaten a lot of good food in Laoshan!

It's been more than ten pounds, right?"

"Hehe~ Isn't this all Hongfu who has entrusted the camp leader? You are still so fat in the camp leader! Look, you all have double chins!"

...

Considering that there are too many thin people in this era, fatness is actually a symbol of rich people, Ma Qiang is reluctant to be Gan Shi and is praising himself.

But why is it strange?

Do I have a double chin?

No?

Ma Qiang touched his chin and felt a little fleshy, and he felt that he had to exercise and lose weight.

"I have nothing else to do when I come. Liu Biao sent Yi Ji once a year ago. I asked them for some, but they had already refused."

"What? This shameless Liu Biao is so ungrateful! Don't worry, the lord of the camp, I will curse him today!"

"That's not necessary. He married the young and beautiful Cai family at this age, and he didn't look like the president.

I want you to go to Jingzhou and use your 3-inch tongue to tell me Lumen Academy.

If you can't do it, you will find a way to destroy the alliance between the three states of Jing and Yangyi.

You go and go back quickly, and wait for you to come back. It’s almost summer and it’s just right to go out to sea!”

"Ah? I'm really going on a business trip...

The boss, I am old now, with thin arms and legs. Can you let others go for such a busy thing in the future?”

"Hey, Zuo Ci has always told me about the ocean. He also said that although he looks old, he is actually younger than you. I don't know if it's true."

"The boss, actually... it's mainly because I'm not healthy recently."

"I heard that Cai's beauty is insignificant, and Liu Biao was unable to comfort her in his old age, which made her rumor that she was unfaithful. I don't know if it was true or false."

"Battleman, actually, what I mean is that my body has not moved for too long and it will almost rust! Don't worry, boss, I will set out tomorrow!"

"Well, that's fine. You need to write a list and report it yourself."

"promise!"

After Gan Shi retreated, Ma Qiang looked at the piles of documents again. When he saw the situation in Liangzhou, Gan Shi picked up the phone and dialed the number and said, "Wang Yue, let Zhao Huo start to act."

——More than half a month later, the military camp outside Chang'an City

"Now, generals and officers at all levels are basically in place.

But it will take some time to fully form combat effectiveness. General Zhang, see, this is an analysis of the composition of the sergeants of our three legions, and a large part of them are the original old subordinates of Cao and Liu.

Also, the training time is also a problem. If it can be done in another two months, the situation will be much better.

Of course, the most important thing is food and grass. Although Chang'an has hoarded some food and grass, it is not enough for a hundred thousand troops to fight in Liangzhou for a long time.

Therefore, either this battle will be decided quickly or you can only wait for the arrival of food and grass."

Zhang Liao looked at the report in his hand and nodded, and was extremely satisfied with the Lou Gui who had just been transferred from Yanzhou in front of him.

He is worthy of being the one the generals are interested in.

"Zhao Zhenfu Envoy, please tell Chief of Staff Lou again in the situation in Liangzhou."

Zhao Huo, known as Zhao's Pacification envoy, nodded.

Zhao Huo was so awesome at this time. He was in charge of Sili, Liangzhou and Bingzhou Jinyiwei. He was the first person in real power under Wang Yue among the Jinyiwei. Of course, this was also obtained by Zhao Huo's repeated contributions. The viciousness cannot be told to outsiders.

"According to the latest information from Liangzhou, just half a month ago on the third day of the second month, Han Sui increased the frequency and intensity of contact with the Qiang people.

Especially the Shaodang Qiang, who was already kind to Han Sui, and the He Qiang tribes, not only gave back Han Sui's cattle and horses, but also sent warriors to Han Sui's army to join the army."

"Because of the Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou, there has been no peace in the past few decades.

The general said before that the Liangzhou issue is a military issue and a political issue, but it is still an economic issue.

If you want to completely capture Liangzhou and ensure long-term stability, it is impossible to fight alone." Zhang Liao said to everyone, "General Tianwei, if the Qiang tribes that were kind to Han Sui were willing to send troops, how many troops could Han Sui summoned?"

Ma Chao, who was sitting below, replied, "The Qiang people are very similar to the Xiongnu people, and the whole people are soldiers."

If it really comes to a critical moment, it will be fine for Han Sui to recruit 100,000 troops.

If you are willing to sell future interests, such as ensuring that the Qiang people can reclaim the plains, then 150,000 is normal."

The Qiang tribes also cultivated animal husbandry, but because the areas that are conducive to farming in Liangzhou were divided up by local gentry and powerful people, the local governments often favored local tyrants, which made the Qiang people only farm in highlands, and the harvest was so low.

"So, the strategic deployment of the Military Commission and the General was correct.

Think about it, most of these soldiers and horses have livestock. If they defeat them on the plains and they run around, the subsequent local public security will be in chaos for a long time."

Just as Zhang Liao said that, a soldier came in with a strange expression.

"General, there is someone outside... who asked for a visit and said he was here to be a staff officer under the order of the Ming Gong."

Someone asked for a meeting?

Zhang Liao strangely took the envelope handed over by the sergeant, tore it a letter of appointment inside.

When Zhang Liao saw the name and official position on the letter of appointment, his face instantly flashed like a traffic light, which was so wonderful.

"Everyone, Ming Gong also knows that we will face many difficulties in this battle, so he specially sent a staff officer. I'm afraid most of you know this staff officer." Zhang Liao said, looking at Yu Jin and others with a strange look on his face.

After a while, a man walked in with his sword, but saw that the man was shorter, thin and long bearded. As soon as he came in, he stroked his beard and smiled, "General Zhang, I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Duke Cao?"

"Meng De?"

The generals sitting below exclaimed when they saw that the person coming in was Cao Cao.

Who doesn’t know that Cao Cao was left by Ma Qiang, called "Reused" and actually under house arrest, so why did he come here today?

"Have you met Mr. Cao!"

Zhang Liao also stood up and worshiped.

“It seems that there are a lot of words written on your face!

What? Does it feel incredible to see me Cao Mengde?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

Cao Ren asked bluntly, "Meng De, has the General really sent you to help us?"

Cao Cao nodded, then pointed to the letter of appointment in Zhang Liao's hand and said, "General Zhang, have you checked the authenticity?"

Zhang Liao smiled and put away the appointment and said, "Of course it's true.
Chapter completed!
