Liu Zhang laid a net all over the world, but in the end some fish slipped through the net.

Ma Chao's escape cannot change the final result of Liu Zhang's pacification of Yongliang, but he will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Just as Han Sui's escape brought many variables, Ma Chao will definitely add a lot of resistance to Liu Zhang.

"Under the leadership of Ma Chao, Wuwei County is bound to resist us. It seems that our strategy of dividing our troops to quell the counties may fail."

Originally, Liu Zhang's strategy was to annihilate Ma Teng's army, and divide his troops into two groups to attack the Yongliang counties.

Right now in Yuzhong, Jincheng has Han Sui in command, and Wuwei also has Ma Chao in command. Liu Zhang had to concentrate his forces again and defeat them one by one.

"My lord, although Ma Chao escaped, Ma Teng, governor of Yongzhou, was captured by us. Besides, the fifty thousand Liangzhou cavalry were wiped out. How can Ma Chao resist the army?"

Zhao Yun has already learned in detail that the entire force under Ma Teng's command is only these 50,000 cavalry.

In other words, when Ma Chao fled back, he would also face a situation where he had no soldiers to use.

Liu Zhang shook his head, he was not as optimistic as Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, Ma Chao's mother is the daughter of the head of the Xianling Qiang clan. As Lanwai of the Xianling Qiang, do you think Ma Chao will be a loner?"

"First zero Qiang?"

The generals in Yizhou did not have people from Liangzhou, and they didn't know much about the Qiang people in Liangzhou.

At this time, Fazheng, who had lived in the Yongliang area since he was a child, stepped forward and took the initiative to explain to everyone.

"Generals, there are more than twenty Qiang tribes in the Yongliang area, among which the Xianling Qiang, Shaodang Qiang, Gongtang Qiang, Bei Qiang, and Han Qiang are the most outstanding."

"The strength of the five major Qiang tribes is almost equal to that of all the other tribes. The more numerous Qiang Qiang and the Shaodang Qiang can pull out 50,000 to 60,000 people, and the few are as few as 30,000 to 40,000!"

Hearing Fazheng's overview of the strength of the Qiang people, Tai Shici felt even more ashamed.

"Xiaozhi, do you mean that Ma Chao can pull up an army of 50,000 immediately?"

Fazheng looked at Tai Shici, who was asking him, in some embarrassment, and then shook his head.

Tai Shici was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but was immediately shocked by Fazheng's words and held his breath.

"More than fifty thousand!"

Fazheng was very depressed. Because of the lesson of Han Sui's escape, several wise men jointly designed this time to keep all Ma Teng's army in Ji County.

However, after thousands of calculations, no one could calculate Sha Lifei's speed, and finally let Ma Chao escape.

"The Qiang people who are friendly with Ma Teng are Xianling Qiang and Gongtang Qiang, the Qiang people who are friendly with Han Sui are Shaodang Qiang and Han Qiang, and there is another branch of Bei Qiang who has never helped each other and is in a neutral state."

Fazheng's words once again suppressed the atmosphere in the room, and everyone suddenly felt that more and more enemies were fighting.

"If that's the case, wouldn't the two of them still be able to pull out an army of 200,000?"

Two hundred thousand!

If this is this number, the generals of the Yizhou Army will undoubtedly start to have a headache.

This number is more than twice their total strength, not counting the Liangzhou local cavalry that they have wiped out.

"Hey! I'm not afraid to attack everyone. Ma Chao and Han Sui can at least unite the four major Qiang tribes, and the combination of the four major Qiang tribes will certainly be able to bring in the Bei Qiang."

"At that time, with the deterrence of the five major Qiang tribes, the rest of the Qiang tribes will more or less send troops to help out. As for the final number..."

The meaning of Fazheng is obvious, I am afraid it is far more than 200,000!

"Now that Ma Teng, Ma Yue and others are in our hands, could it be possible that Ma Chao can forcefully fight against us regardless of the life and death of his father, uncle and others?"

Hearing Pang Tong's words, everyone's nervousness eased a little.

It's okay for Han Sui to put all his eggs in one basket. After all, there is nothing in the hands of the Yizhou army.

But Ma Chao is different. Now that Ma Teng and others are in his hands, Ma Chao may not be able to throw the mouse.

"not necessarily!"

The atmosphere that had slowed down just now was completely frozen by the two words that Liu Zhang blurted out again.

The generals in the house don't know Ma Chao's temperament, but Liu Zhang knows it well.

In history, Ma Chao took the initiative to join forces with Han Sui and buried his whole family with his own hands.

For this kind of lunatic, there is nothing he can't do!

"Everyone, we must prepare for the worst. What if Ma Chao really ignores Ma Teng's life?"

"Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the land of death and life, the way of survival! You must never place everything on the possibility!"

Liu Zhang looked extremely serious on the surface, but in fact his heart was full of bitterness.

The threat of hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people has not been resolved, and hundreds of thousands of Qiang people will appear immediately!

Xianbei has Jieting as an obstacle, how can the Qiang people resist?

There is no such narrow terrain in Liangzhou for Liu Zhang to use, so he can only choose to have a head-to-head confrontation with the Qiang people!

For a while, the room fell into silence. The general blamed himself for letting Ma Chao and Han Sui escape, and the counselor felt guilty because of his poor design.

"My lord, there is no need to be so pessimistic!"

Pang Tong's sudden words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

"Shiyuan, what's your plan?"

Liu Zhang was quite curious, could it be that this adventurous guy really had a trick to turn the tide of the battle.

"No!"

Facts have proved that Liu Zhang was thinking too much, and Pang Tong denied it without hesitation.

"..."

Liu Zhang was a little speechless. Pang Tong was still in the mood to joke about what time it was.

"My lord, you can think about things from another angle!"

Pang Tong scanned the faces of everyone in the room, and the oppressive atmosphere made him even more motivated to speak.

"Why did it take so long for the Lord to fix Nanzhong? It was undoubtedly because the barbarians were too scattered. Now that Ma Chao and Han Sui are willing to gather the Qiang people for us, wouldn't it save us a lot of effort?"

"If the Qiang people are defeated in the first battle, then the naturalization of the Qiang people in the future will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

Liu Zhang nodded slightly, maybe this is the greatest contribution that Ma Chao and Han Sui can make.

"What Shi Yuan said is very true, everyone still needs to cheer up! Soldiers come to cover the water and soil, and the final victory must belong to us!"

As soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Not long after, a soldier walked up to Liu Zhang in a panic.

"Report to my lord, an urgent report on stability!"

"Speak quickly!"

Liu Zhang tensed up and hurriedly urged the soldiers to report.

"According to reports from scouts, Xiao Guan has been completely burned down, and there are no Han Sui soldiers in any counties in Anding County!"

It's coming after all!

Liu Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly, what a blessing and misfortune never comes singly! One wave of ups and downs and another wave of ups and downs!

I just warned everyone to plan for the worst. I didn't expect the worst news to come so soon!

Xiaoguan will not be destroyed for no reason, which also indicates that Han Sui has contacted the Xianbei people.

As for whether Budugen came by himself, or together with Ke Bineng, it is unknown...

"Everyone, it seems that our test is coming!"
