Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 171 Luxurious lineup, is there anyone else from the Ma family?

If Xing Daorong is to be the pioneer, he naturally cannot be left alone to do this job.

Except for Xing Daorong, all the generals were summoned back to their palaces and received orders.

The configuration of the vanguard troops can be said to be extremely luxurious.

The former vanguard commander: General Zuo, Marquis of Nanping County Xing Daorong.

The former deputy commander-in-chief of the vanguard: General Zhengbei and Governor of Xicheng Ma Chao.

Commander-in-chief of the front army: General Suppressing Rebellion and Governor of Guanzhong Wu Yi.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Front Army: General Meng Da.

The generals of the front army: General Jianwu Pang De, General Pinglu Zhou Tai, and General Zhechou Bao Long.

Deputy generals of the front army: Deputy General of the Central Army Liu Feng, General of the Central Army Huo Jun, Lieutenant General Wu Lan, and Assistant General Lei Tong.

The front army commander: General Anhan and the prefect of Jianning Li Hui.

Look at this lineup, it’s really powerful!
luxury!

Quite luxurious!

Doesn’t this mean that Shu Han has no people?

When I opened the list of the vanguard army, I found that they were all famous generals and celebrities. If I took them individually, each of them was a well-known figure.

Not to mention that Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Fa Zheng and others followed Liu Bei in the central army, and Zhuge Liang was specifically responsible for logistics and supporting Chengdu.

Huang Zhong and Wei Yan continued to guard Hanzhong, while Guan Yu guarded Xiangyang.

With everything arranged like this, the generals gathered their troops and got ready to fight, knowing that the battle was just around the corner.

But before the expedition, someone came to Xing Daorong and made a suggestion.

When Ma Chao heard that he was going to attack Cao Cao again, he was extremely excited!

He was also quite satisfied with the position of deputy commander of the vanguard of the former governor. When he received the order that day, he immediately came to find the commander Xing Daorong.

"Zi Yu! You, Hanzhong, ran away halfway through the fight, which really made a great contribution!"

"Although I didn't see how Zi Yu killed the Jiangdong people, I think it was very straightforward."

"It's a pity that after you left, Cao Cao didn't dare to attack again and retreated directly."

"It's a pity that I can't kill a few more Cao soldiers!"

Xing Daorong hadn't seen Ma Chao for a long time since the Battle of Hanzhong. Seeing him so excited and talking about "kill, kill, kill" all the time, Xing Daorong felt a little overwhelmed.

Looking at Ma Chao, he said, "This trip to Cao Cao is different from the battle in Jiangling. It will take more than one battle to kill Cao Cao. Meng Qi must not be impulsive when the time comes."

Ma Chao laughed: "General Xing, do you really think that I only know how to fight and kill?"

"A few days ago, before I came to Chengdu, I contacted my family in Xiliang. Someone in the family has already captured 30,000 soldiers and horses. When we send out the troops, we will start an uprising in Xiliang."

This made Xing Daorong somewhat concerned.

Is there anyone else in the Ma family?
Aren’t they all dead then?

Apart from Ma Chao, there was only Ma Dai left in the Ma family. All the others died at the hands of Cao Cao.

How can there be anyone here?
He was immediately surprised and asked, "Meng Qi, is there anyone else from your clan?"

Ma Chao nodded slightly and said, "The only men are me and my cousin, but even though the men are gone, the Ma family still has women."

woman?

Which woman is so fierce?
Xing Daorong was puzzled, but he heard Ma Chao say, "My younger sister Ma Yunlu has been practicing spearmanship since she was young. Something happened at home that year, and she stayed alone in Xiliang."

"Now he has led 30,000 people from the Qiang tribe and is looking for revenge on Cao Cao."

Ma Yunlu!
Xing Daorong thought that the little girl of the Ma family was just fictitious, but he didn't expect that she really existed.

But then again, it seems that there is no mention of this "General Lingling" in the official history. In this case, it is not surprising that there is a little sister from the Ma family.

Xing Daorong complained in his heart, but quickly reacted and said, "Have you discussed this with the lord?"

"It's not a definite matter, and it hasn't been discussed yet." Ma Chao explained, "After all, I'm not in Xiliang, so it's hard to guarantee it." Xing Daorong listened and thought about it, and immediately understood what was going on.

What Ma Yunlu did in Xiliang is definitely true, but it is not certain whether he actually mobilized 30,000 people.

If he really had this ability, he would have reported to Liu Bei and killed Cao Cao long ago.

Now, say to yourself...

I'm afraid this is still a long way off.

Xing Daorong thought for a moment and said, "Mengqi, are you having any difficulties right now?"

Ma Chao knew that Xing Daorong had probably seen through his thoughts, so he said a little embarrassedly: "It would be best if you could ask me to lead some troops to sneak into Xiliang."

Sneak into Xiliang?

It's okay for a few people to sneak in, but how can they sneak in an entire army?
If there really was a way to sneak in an army, Zhuge Liang wouldn't have had to go to Qishan six times so hard. He could have just sneaked in and attacked Chang'an.

There is no need to ask Ma Chao about this, Xing Daorong can refuse it himself.

But he said: "It is impossible to sneak in with a cavalry, but even if there are three or four people, it may be possible."

Ma Chao thought for a moment and said, "Then I can go alone."

Xing Daorong was not worried about whether Ma Chao would come back or not. The key was what the effect of his trip would be.

This matter still needed the final decision from Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, so he took Ma Chao to talk to them about the matter.

...

There are still people in the Ma family!
Neither Liu Bei nor Zhuge Liang had expected this!

After hearing what Xing Daorong said, he was also stunned.

This actually doesn't sound very reliable.

The Ma family did have a reputation in Xiliang, but this reputation was completely destroyed in the previous battle with Cao Cao.

At the moment...it's not certain how many people in Xiliang recognize the name Ma Chao, let alone his younger sister.

If Ma Chao himself had said this, Liu Bei would most likely not have agreed.

but…

For Xing Daorong, the situation is different.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang exchanged glances, and without saying a word, they shared their thoughts.

But Liu Bei asked, "Zi Yu...what do you think about this?"

Xing Daorong glanced at Ma Chao.

Seeing Ma Chao's shaking hands, which clearly showed his nervousness, he immediately turned around and said seriously: "King of Hanzhong, I think we can let Meng Qi go and give it a try."

"If this is accomplished, it will be very helpful for the war later; if it fails, we can ask Mengqi to take his younger sister back, which is also a good thing."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, but said with some concern: "Zi Yu is right, but the army will be dispatched in a month, maybe it will be in time?"

Although the military order has been issued, and everyone knows who is preparing to attack Cao, the army's march... especially the march before a big war, with the mobilization of food and fodder, and the assembly of troops and horses, will take at least a month.

This only lasted a month.

When Ma Chao heard Liu Bei's question, he immediately knew that he could go to Xiliang, and immediately said: "Whether it succeeds or not, I will come back on time and must not delay the expedition!"

Liu Bei was about to nod his head in agreement when he suddenly heard Zhuge Liang say, "You can go with Mengqi. I think the plan will work out."

Now it was Liu Bei's turn to be surprised.

It would be fine for Ma Chao to go. After all, he was only the deputy commander of the Northern Expedition vanguard and could not come back. And Xing Daorong was in charge of the affairs.

If Xing Daorong doesn't reply...

Wouldn’t that really delay our great cause?

However, Zhuge Liang's words could not be without purpose. Although Liu Bei was worried, he did not object on the spot...
