At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Sure enough, Liu Zhang looked directly at Tai Shici, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army.

"Ziyi, I'm afraid the matter of the Northern Army will be on your shoulders for the time being."

Tai Shici looked at Ma Chao and Fazheng beside him, and hurriedly asked.

"Qin Gong, is there a war?"

Liu Zhang nodded noncommittally.

It was precisely because of the news he received not long ago that Liu Zhang made up his mind to appoint Fazheng as the military adviser of the Northern Army.

"Cheng Gongying sent news that the situation in the Western Regions is very complicated and completely different from what we know!"

"The countries close to us are very resistant to the Han Dynasty, and the border countries have no choice but to surrender under the threat of force from Wusun, Dawan and other powerful countries."

"At present, it is very difficult for us to exercise the power of the Changshifu of the Western Regions. It is almost impossible to reproduce the situation where the 36 people of Banchao deterred the Western Regions a hundred years ago."

Tai Shici suddenly realized, and immediately understood Liu Zhang's meaning.

"Duke Qin wants to send troops to the Western Regions?"

"good!"

In troubled times, especially for such a small country without affiliation, the use of force to deter is definitely the most direct.

The decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty led to the existence of the Governor's Office of the Western Regions in name only, and now the countries in the Western Regions do not take the Han Dynasty seriously.

Some small countries, with less than a thousand troops, may still be in awe.

Any country with a military strength of more than 5,000 and a certain level of strength does not take the Han Dynasty seriously at all.

Even the Han Dynasty was ignored, not to mention Liu Zhang's name.

"Duke Qin, why don't you let the minister lead the Wufeng battalion to go and completely destroy these small countries in the first battle!"

Unexpectedly, when Tai Shici heard that there was a battle to be fought, he suddenly regained his spirits and asked for orders in person.

It's just that as soon as Tai Shici finished speaking, Ma Chao couldn't help but speak out immediately.

"General Zuo, you can't do this. Duke Qin obviously wanted me to lead the Jingqi from Liangzhou by staying with me!"

Tai Shici waved his hands again and again, not agreeing with Ma Chao's words at all.

"General Ma, although the countries in the Western Regions are weak, they are still very powerful."

"Wufeng Battalion integrates offense and defense, and there is a chariot formation that can be used. Even if you face an enemy that is several times larger, you will not be afraid at all!"

Ma Chao knew the strength of Wu Feng Ying and Che Xuan Formation, but it was not a reason for him to shrink back.

"General Zuo, how can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife? To deal with these rotten fish and rotten shrimp, Liangzhou's elite cavalry is enough!"

"General Ma's words are wrong..."

"General Zuo, don't say that..."

Liu Zhang, Jia Xu, Xun You, Fa Zheng, and Wei Ji stood silently and watched Ma Chao and Tai Shici fight.

After a long time, the two stopped the verbal argument because of exhaustion.

But it was obvious that Ma Chao's desire to ask for his life was stronger, and his eyes were even full of pleading.

The defeat of the Xiongnu this time allowed Ma Chao to get the post of General Pingbei, and also allowed Ma Chao to fully taste the benefits of official position.

He didn't show up under Ma Teng's command before, but now he is in the court of Qin State, so he understands the great temptation of an official position to a general!

Above General Pingbei, there is General Anbei, above General Anbei, there is General Zhenbei, and above General Zhenbei, there is General Zhengbei!

Further up there are General Wei, General Chariots, General Hussars, and even Great Generals!

This is the yearning of every general, and Ma Chao is no exception.

Perhaps after returning from this expedition to the Western Regions, his position can be improved to a higher level!

For Tai Shici, there may be no room for promotion in the position for the time being, after all, General Sifang is the current limit.

But Tinghou still has room for promotion!

Everything is for accumulation in the future, when Liu Zhang becomes king, or even emperor, he will always be able to accumulate a lot of money!

Facing the fiery eyes of Tai Shici and Ma Chao, Liu Zhang shook his head helplessly.

"Ziyi, didn't I just say that? All the affairs of the Northern Army are left to you."

"As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, how can you leave easily?"

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard the words, as expected!

"I...obey the order."

Tai Shici opened his mouth, but did not say anything in the end.

The fact is indeed the case, the Northern Army has not started anything yet, how can there be no leader?

In fact, not all of the Northern Army had to let Tai Shici do it himself, and Liu Zhang was more selfish.

Mainly because of Tai Shici's physical problems.

In the past few years, Liu Zhang must see Tai Shici with his own eyes, at least there are no accidents in Chang'an City.

If Tai Shici can escape the catastrophe of his life, maybe he can soar into the sky and become famous all over the world.

But Liu Zhang couldn't say too much, he could only keep him by his side with reasons that Tai Shici couldn't refute.

Liu Zhang can never tell Tai Shici that you will die in four years...

"Ziyi, concentrate on forming the Northern Army, and fight Cao Cao in the future, and there will be many battles!"

As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, it is really unreasonable for him to compete with his subordinates for credit...

Tai Shici laughed at himself, then nodded heavily at Liu Zhang, and immediately surrendered.

"I obey!"

After persuading Tai Shici, Liu Zhang turned to look at Ma Chao.

"Meng Qi, this expedition to the Western Regions has a lot to do with it, and the result will even directly affect our Qin State for decades to come."

"If you don't go, you are done, if you go, you will win, are you sure?"

With Yumen Pass as a barrier, coupled with the chaos of the Western Regions and the remoteness of the roads, no matter how powerful the Western Regions are, they will not take the initiative to invade.

Therefore, this expedition to the Western Regions can be said to be Liu Zhang's active use of troops once and only once before he unified the world.

If Ma Chao is defeated, the next time he sends troops to the Western Regions may be decades later!

Of course, the defeat had no effect on the war in the Central Plains. Just holding the Yumen Pass would save Liangzhou from any crisis.

However, the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions will only exist in name only, and the reputation of the Han Dynasty will plummet!

As for trade, and even the Dawan horse that Liu Zhang was looking forward to, forget about it.

"Duke Qin, don't worry, the last general will let the countries in the Western Regions know the strength of our Qin army!"

Although Ma Chao was swearing, he did not reassure Liu Zhang completely.

From Ma Chao's eyes, Liu Zhang saw strong self-confidence and... disdain for the enemy.

If Ma Chao goes forward with this mentality, I am afraid the final result will be unsatisfactory.

"Meng Qi didn't pay attention to the soldiers from the Western Regions, did he?"

Ma Chao showed a smug smile and admitted it directly.

"What Qin State said is very true! The last general has lived in Liangzhou all year round, so he has some understanding of the situation in the small countries in the Western Regions."

"There are more than a thousand people, and there are hundreds of people. How can such a weak national power withstand the elite cavalry of our Qin State?"

"When the last general's army arrives, all these small countries will be bound!"

The thoughts in Ma Chao's heart became more pure, just kill him if he doesn't listen!

Just like Liu Zhang slaughtered the Qiang people, the Xianbei people, and the Huns!

kill!

The countries in the Western Regions were so terrified that they dared not look at Qin's army!

For this, Liu Zhang not only did not accept Ma Chao's ambition, but directly poured cold water on it.

"Meng Qi, if this is the case, you will lose if you go here!"
