Chapter 973 Second-level Preparedness

Ma Chao's words really stunned Cao Ang and Cao Tai on the spot. After reflecting it very hard, Cao Tai boldly said, "As we all know, although the Ma family is located in Liang, Yong and Sizhou, its strength is only 150,000. Before the war in Hanzhong, the Ma family had lost more than 20,000, but now the division has been defeated, and the Ma family has less than 100,000. With such a difficult military situation, I don't know why General Qiqi is still so aggressive?

Ma Chao glanced at Cao Tai and did not answer. Instead, after sitting upright, he slowly said, "Gongda, the Ministry of War will prepare a book, and all the staff will mobilize the strength of the Ma family to fight against Yuan Shao!"

"I don't know what level of combat readiness will be issued this time?" Xun You bowed to ask for instructions.

"Second-level is enough, only Yuan Shao, and there is less than three-level combat readiness." Ma Chao waved his hand and made a come up.

When Xun You heard this, he actually took out a book book from his arms. After reading it for a moment, he said, "If you use second-level combat readiness and dispatch county soldiers to attack the war, you can 300,000 troops to the front line under the Ma family."

"It's too much. If we just launch a war readiness order in Sili Prefecture, how many people can be transferred?" After hearing this, Ma Chao frowned slightly and waved his hand and said, "In other states and counties, it is very expensive to transfer troops, and it is difficult to guarantee the combat effectiveness. For the time being, it is only possible to recruit county soldiers from the Sili area."

"You can get more than 70,000 people." Xun You immediately answered.

Cao Ang and Cao Tai didn't understand what Ma Chao meant. However, the generals in the banquet hall looked angry and excited: in the Ma family's military system, the most outstanding thing is naturally the Ma family army that shocked the world. They are all professional combat arms, and the treatment is extremely high.

However, in addition, Ma Chao has already formulated a battle readiness level to deal with the tactics of the sea of princes. When Ma Jiajun was unable to deal with it, the second-level combat readiness was launched. In this way, under the rule of the Ma family, those county soldiers responsible for guarding the state and county will respond. These county soldiers usually receive half a day of training and have good combat effectiveness. If you take the Ma family's standard equipment and refine it on the battlefield, you will also be a first-class elite soldier of the Ma family.

In addition, there are 50,000 reserve troops under Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lv Bu and Wu'an. In this way, including the original strength of the Ma family, there are already more than 250,000.

Of course, if it is a third-level combat readiness and mobilizes the county soldiers under the county soldiers, it is the time when the Ma family faces the counterattack of the great enemy. If the fourth-level combat readiness is launched and the militia participating in the training in the agricultural leisure season is also mobilized, it will definitely be the moment of the survival of the Ma family. Under the whole Ma family, at least two million troops can be mobilized, which is unstoppable.

After listening to Guo Jia explain this clearly, Cao Ang and Cao Tai's faces changed greatly. Looking at Ma Chao's eyes, they couldn't help but be a little more afraid: If so, even if the heroes of Kanto attack the Ma family together, there is no five-point chance of winning. Ma Mengqi prepared for a rainy day and set such an armament plan, which really confused the eyes of the world!

But this is only the beginning. After the 250,000 army, Ma Chaofu asked Meng Da again, "Guan Shanxue contacted the mercenaries in the Western Regions before the snow. At this time, has your household department been handed over to the military department?"

"Lord, Guan Shanxue has bought 20,000 slave soldiers from rest. Those people are brave and good at fighting and are extremely good at military arrays. After coming to the Ma family's barracks, they are grateful for the Ma family's separation from slavery. In order to govern the Ma family, they have defected to the reserve army and actively prepare for the war. They are willing to fight for the Ma family!" It was Xun You who said this.

After Xun You's report, Meng Da took a step forward and then said, "In addition, Guan Shanxue also contacted a 30,000 mercenary in the Parthia Empire. It is on standby in Liangzhou. If the lord agrees, it can be sent to the front line immediately.

"Where is the Great Qin Empire?" Ma Chao shook his head, as if he was still a little dissatisfied with the progress of Guan Shanxue.

"In return, the Lord, the Parthian Empire and the Daqin Empire are a deadly enmity. Guan Shanxue also attracted a mercenary of the Daqin Empire. However, the slave corps of the Parthian Empire vowed to fight to the death. In the end, they had no choice but to cut off the road of the Daqin Empire and the West."

After hearing this, Ma Chao nodded his head. After listening to Xun You's explanation, he naturally remembered that the vast empire in the west of the Han Dynasty was the Alsashi Dynasty established by the Persianized Scythians. Sima Qian transliterated it as "rest" in the Historical Records. The Parthian Empire lived in Central Asia and completely monopolized the Silk Road trade, causing the coveted Western Qin (Roman Empire).

A big war broke out, and Crassus in red (also known as Pompey and Caesar as the three giants of Rome and the consul of Spartak) led a large army to attack Parth, but the powerful Daqin was defeated by this nomadic nation on the vast Central Asian grassland. Crassus was captured, and the king of Parthia cut off his head and sent his mouth back with gold to laugh at the greedy Qin people. Since then, although Daqin has continuously launched wars againstan xi, it has always been frustrated.

With this national feud, the Parthian Empire and the Great Qin Empire have been at an end. Ma Chao was whimsific and only tried to excavate the population there with finance and trade, but ignored the insegregation between races.

However, this result also made Ma Chao somewhat relieved and said, "It should be almost time to send 30,000 mercenaries from Parthia to the front line, plus the 20,000 slave legion of the Parthian Empire to serve as cannon fodder..."

Cao Ang and Cao Tai came here and looked at each other in awe. They only saw a few words from the historical records, such as the Parth Empire, the Great Qin Empire and the Parthian Empire, but they never thought that there was a profession of 'mercenaries' in the place outside. Ma Chao quietly introduced these people to the Central Plains and transferred them to the front line as a death squad... Such an approach really makes Cao Ang and Cao Tai incredible.

'Can't the exiles under the Ma family be used for such wars?' In their eyes, there was such a doubt at the same time. They couldn't figure out why Ma Chao took so much effort.

"The lives of the people of the big man are very precious." Ma Chao seemed to see the doubts in their eyes. After explaining one sentence, he said, "In this way, the Ma family has already had more than 300,000 troops. It's enough to stunned Yuan Shao, but I think this amount is still a little light..."

"Meng him!"

"I'm there!"

"You immediately go north and tell the Qiang and Xiongnu tribes that I need 100,000 cavalry to go to Chang'an within ten days. If they are late, let them think about the consequences!"

"Recomm on the order!" Meng has been responsible for Qiang affairs for many years and has a good relationship with major Qiang tribes such as Qingyi, White Horse and Yellow Sheep. With just one sentence, the Qiang people will definitely help a lot. As for the Xiongnu Liu Bao, it is even simpler. With one order, Liu Bao naturally knows what to do.

It was not until this time that Cao Ang and Cao Tai suddenly remembered that Ma Chao was known as the "General of Tianwei God" outside the fortress, and the Ma family's goods maintained the survival of the herdsmen outside the fortress. Under his order, not to mention 100,000 cavalry, 300,000 or 500,000 troops can also be transferred. I'm afraid this small test is intended to make Yuan Shao retreat knowing the difficulties, right?

"There are more than 400,000 troops, which is a little interesting." At this time, Ma Chao slowly got up and walked to Cao Ang and Cao Tai. Qingfeng asked, "Such a force out of the customs is enough for Cao Mengde to cut off Yingchuan County, right?"

"Self, naturally..." Cao Ang was shocked by the tip of the iceberg of the strength of the Ma family. He couldn't help but be shocked by Ma Chao's courage at this time. After swallowing his saliva with difficulty, he replied in such a gaffe.

After that, Cao Ang suddenly thought that the big crocodile of the Ma family had never been really angry. If it devotes all its strength to send troops to Kanto, it is not impossible to sweep the world. It's just that it has always been so forbearance. What on earth is it for?

'Why?' Ma Chao, who saw Cao Ang's thoughts, couldn't help but feel a little depressed: Do you think I don't want to do this? You ancients didn't know that war is to burn money. If the Ma family is really like what you think, a battle can destroy the economic foundation of the whole Ma family and even the Han Dynasty! At that time, I would still play nothing!
