Chapter 2206 Run Away

This wave of Wanpeng is different from that of Guo Bang who brought dozens of iron knight soldiers and only recruited Liangzhou men. Wanpeng brought a whole army of Xiliang iron knights, with supplies, official equipment, and backup weapons. , Even the armor is doubled, and the entire army is armed to the teeth, waiting for the army to go to war.

It has to be said that Liu Bei has indeed accumulated a lot of war preparation materials, otherwise, even if Li You wanted to change the armor of those cavalry in the Western Regions, he would not be able to get so many of the best equipment.

Of course, for the Qiang people, the more important point is that this legion is willing to recruit the Qiang people to fight with them. Needless to say, the Xiliang iron cavalry has been in Xiliang for too long, so that the Qiang people are afraid of finding their origin. On the imprint of messing with the Xiliang cavalry.

Naturally, a large group of Qiang people brought weapons, dry food and war horses to seek refuge in the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and then many Qiang tribes’ horses were not enough because of this. The pawns are also collected, and more people follow.

It was even worse in the back. The young and strong people who went there at the beginning found that this wave of Xiliang iron cavalry was really open to everyone. It seemed that men, women, and children could do it. Some tribal chiefs of the Qiang people thought twice, so many people They all followed, just move the tribe away and follow them. Anyway, they live by water and grass, catch up with all the cattle, sheep, mules and horses, and just run with the Xiliang cavalry.

With such a big move, Cao Cao will naturally not be blind. It is also from here that Cheng Yu successfully verified the correctness of the west of the Western Regions as a bridgehead, and that is why Cao's background was transferred to the west of the Western Regions.

Of course, when it comes to this, I have to say it again. Cao Cao actually doesn’t care much about the Qiang people. His combat effectiveness is sloppy, his farming skills are poor, he doesn’t collect much tax a year, and he often fights everywhere, which makes Liangzhou often chaotic. Even with the restraint of the Qiang king Ma Chao, Cao Cao would like someone to get rid of these Qiang people.

After all, there are still many places in Liangzhou that can farm. Those who can’t farm will leave, and those who can farm will move there. In the future, there will be tax revenue there, so Cao Cao just turned a blind eye to Wanpeng’s approach. , Anyway, these scumbags are useless, if you want to get rid of them, you can't hide so many people, so let me follow and see the situation.

Therefore, Wanpeng successfully poached a lot of Qiang people in Liangzhou. The number is huge. Well, to put it simply, Ma Chao's Qiang king's guards all ran away with the Xiliang iron cavalry. The general situation of Xiqiang can be seen.

By the way, I would like to mention Ma Chao's Qiang King's Guard Army, which is said to be carefully selected from the young and strong of the 200,000 Qiang people, and they worked with Ma Chao on a snowy night and traveled westward to Mobei, and then thousands of people Charged hundreds of thousands of Xianbei, and finally successfully exploded the elite troops of the Xianbei Chinese Army.

These people experienced the biting cold of the snowy night in Mobei, and then under the leadership of Ma Chao, they attacked the main formation of Xi Xianbei. When they left Liangzhou, they were 8,000 strong and lost more than 5,000. They successfully created an opportunity for Cao Cao to wipe out Xi Xianbei Chance.

Although not long after that, Lu Bu, who had a thousand years of faith, took the trap and killed hundreds of people as miscellaneous beards, but he fought a war that was almost impossible to win, and finally won. The Qiang cavalry, who were carefully selected among them, successfully entered the elite level under the leadership of Ma Chao after gaining the sublimation of will.

This is also the fact that Ma Chao later told Sun Ce that he was an elite cavalry during the Battle of Northern Xinjiang. Cao Cao only had Xiliang cavalry, and he only had two thousand in his hands.

What Ma Chao was talking about at the time was this Qiang King’s Guard Army, a double-talented super-elite cavalry with excellent quality and experience. The morale is weak, but overall it is considered a fairly top-level cavalry fighting unit.

After all, there are not many dual-talented cavalry even in the four great empires, and even Ma Chao has to admit that these soldiers are very good.

Therefore, after the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, Ma Chao sent his remaining 2,000-odd Qiang king guards back to Xiqiang and asked them to train on the spot, because Ma Chao had another identity as a Qiang in addition to his official position in the Han Dynasty. King, so as long as the recruitment of Qiang people into an army is not too much, no one cares about it, not to mention that Ma Chao is preparing to train a guard army of six or seven thousand Qiang kings.

Cao Cao thought that he didn’t need to pay for it himself, and the Qiang people provided for the Qiang king’s guards by themselves, so there was nothing to say. If you like training, you can train. Anyway, I just put Zhang Xiu’s army in Chencang for training.

By the way, after the Zhangxiu Legion was moved to Chencang, many Qiang people moved from Longxi to Chencang to ask Zhang Xiu to take them in, but Zhang Xiu justly rejected this proposal, and then the Qiang people who migrated formed a new group in Chencang. big tribe.

Just as Cao Cao estimated at the time, the large tribe formed by the Qiang people in Chencang is not like Ma Chao at all, and Ma Chao himself is also a guy with a big personality. More than two million Qiang people have traveled more than 100,000 to Chencang. Don't take it seriously.

In short, Lao Cao successfully tested Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu, and he was very satisfied with the reactions of both parties. They are both good generals who can be entrusted with important tasks.

So later on, Cao Cao didn't care much about the issue of Ma Chao's Qiang King's guards. He let Ma Chao do whatever he wanted, and even gave Ma Chao more than a thousand Sanya Qiang Archers who had no choice but to disband because of Zhu Jun's military expenditure explosion, to appease Ma Chao.

Of course, with Ma Chao's mind, he didn't understand Cao Cao's meaning at all, but he was still very satisfied that Cao Cao sent him more than a thousand elite Han troops, and both sides were happy.

Ma Chao brought his Qiang King's guard back to Xiqiang for training. The Xiqiang tribe gathered members and selected tribal warriors to make up a whole number for Ma Chao's Qiang King's guard, and then began to train with the more than 2,000 elites.

These are what happened when Wanpeng didn't come. After Wanpeng came, the guards of the Qiang King, not to mention the newly trained elite soldiers, even the elite soldiers who rushed to the Xianbei formation with Ma Chao back then, all ran to fight with Xi. The cool cavalry got mixed up.

The King of Qiang can help the Qiang people solve many problems, but the reason why the Xiliang iron cavalry can solve the problem, the strong and invincible, impressed the Qiang people deeply, so they stayed in Wanpeng and started recruiting people in Liangzhou At that time, many Qiang king's guards were ready to move.

How should I put it, in Ma Chao's eyes, his Qiang king's guards are strong men selected by him from hundreds of thousands of young and strong Qiang people.

In fact, looking at the time flow is like this, the Qiang people were beaten to kneel by the Xiliang cavalry, envious of the strength of the Xiliang cavalry, volunteered to become the auxiliary soldiers of the Xiliang cavalry, and then were taken to Luoyang. After Dong Zhuo died, Guo Si, Li Because of lack of food, Jue and others dispersed the hundreds of thousands of auxiliary Qiang soldiers.

After Li Jue, Guo Si and others left, Ma Chao chose the strongest young man among the Qiang people to join him in the Western Xianbei invasion.

It can be said that the 8,000 young men selected by Ma Chao at the beginning, or the 8,000 young men who dared to follow Ma Chao to engage in Xianbei, basically, well, there were more than 7,900 of the 8,000 people. Back then, he served as an auxiliary soldier for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

So fundamentally speaking, there is a problem with the origin of Ma Chao's Qiang King's Guard Army. As a result, Wanpeng started recruiting troops in Liangzhou, and the Qiang King's Guard Army began to run away. Ok, what a powerful...

The veterans of the Qiang King’s Guard Army who were in their early 2,000 years basically had served as auxiliary soldiers for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. After confirming that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was really here to recruit the Qiang Cavalry, everyone counted twice, and even the supplies of the Qiang King’s Guard Army All the luggage was brought up to join the Xiliang iron cavalry.

What are you doing with the Qiang King? There are those who work together with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is invincible on the ground. When the iron cavalry was doing it, we chased Lu Bu and fought.

In the Luoyang defense battle, under the leadership of the powerful Xiliang iron cavalry, the Qiang cavalry even took two bites from Lu Bu's personal guards. Although the losses were heavy, they won if they won. In the counterattack, it was Lu Bu again, who directly beat him out of Chang'an.

Later, the Qiang cavalry were disbanded, and then the disbanded Qiang cavalry became the guard army of the Qiang king. It was quite easy to fight Xianbei, but in the end they met Lu Bu again, and were directly cut off by Lu Bu...

Therefore, there is no Xiliang iron cavalry that can fight the Qiang king or something, not to mention that we are the auxiliary soldiers of the Xiliang iron cavalry. We are only obliged to join the Qiang king's guard army. Now we plan to fight with the Xiliang iron cavalry. something.

Needless to say, the guards of the Qiang King, led by the veterans who trained them, joined the Xiliang cavalry together.

To put it simply, all the elites of Ma Chao's headquarters became the second-five boys and transferred to the auxiliary soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. This news almost collapsed the belated chief of the Qiang tribe.

Ma Chao asked them to choose someone to help them train, but when these soldiers were finally ready to take shape, the Xiliang iron cavalry picked peaches. The tribal chief of the Qiang tribe thought about it for a while and decided that they should follow suit...

In short, the situation became like this. About 60,000 to 70,000 young men ran away with the Xiliang iron cavalry, and even the tribe of about 200,000 people followed, so that now the entire Xiqiang people's hearts are floating, The tribal chiefs wondered if they should run together.

Fortunately, Wanpeng didn't give the tribal chiefs of the Western Qiang people too much time to think. After Li Yuan discovered that there seemed to be some illegal products among the Qiang people he had rolled, he ran away decisively. Although he didn't know whose elite it was, anyway, since It's a Qiang, so it must be the auxiliary soldiers of the iron cavalry.

However, in order to avoid being mentally retarded, after Wan Peng confirmed that the veterans of the Qiang King's Guard Army had dual talents and super elite combat power, Li Yuan stopped recruiting directly, and took the recruited Qiang people to the Western Regions Transfer west.
