Chapter 79 Training Steps
Hao Zhao's goal from beginning to end was to kill Ma Su.
There are not many talents in Shu Han, and if you kill one, they will lose one. In particular, even the Wei Dynasty may not have talents like Ma Su who are capable of literary and military skills and are good at guerrilla warfare.
As long as you kill him, you will make a profit even if you lose Chen Cang.
Facing the ideas given by Hao Zhao, Wang Shuang also fell into deep thought. But in Wang Shuang's view, although Hao Zhao's strategy was sound, it was too extreme.
Somewhat extremely conservative!
Is Ma Su really so powerful that you, Hao Zhao, use such a conservative method to force him to death?
"Bo Dao, I think even if you want to kill him, Ma Su, there is no need to do so." Wang Shuang frowned and said to Hao Zhao after thinking for a while.
"This will consume too much time, manpower and food. Even if Ma Su is killed, it will still be a loss."
"It's better to let me lead people to pretend to transport grain on Chencang Road, and wait for Ma Di to come to rob the grain and chop him to death with a knife. This saves time and effort, and it is too easy to hack Ma Di to death at my level."
Wang Shuang is not bragging, his martial arts are among the best in the northwest of Cao Wei. Ever since Zhang He was captured by the Shu people and last heard of died tragically in prison, Wang Shuang was known as the number one warrior in the northwest.
A few years ago, before the Shu people invaded, Wang Shuang made many military exploits in battles with the Qiang and Hu people, and was the first to capture the flag. If Ma Su came across him, he would definitely be hacked to death.
However, Hao Zhao firmly shook his head and rejected the proposal.
He was already suffering from nervous breakdown caused by Ma Su. This bastard must be killed without any suspense.
"It's better to be on the safe side, General Wang. Just feel aggrieved. In a month at most, everything can be solved by killing Ma Su."
Wang Shuang was still a little dissatisfied, but under Hao Zhao's firm attitude he could only nod in agreement.
He was sent to assist Hao Zhao, so naturally he had to rely on the other party's words.

"Everyone please move more neatly and don't let your formation break up!"
"There are more than a dozen people in a team. Anyone who falls behind should run five miles for me. If you are not convinced, please go back to Longxi County to farm. I don't need soldiers who don't listen to orders and just charge in a swarm."
When Hao Zhao plotted against Ma Su, the so-called Shu Han guerrilla master was training his troops on a plain.
After nearly three months of guerrilla warfare, Ma Su discovered that these cavalrymen had an advantage and a disadvantage.
They were brave and good at fighting. Every time Ma Su charged, their blood would boil and they would rush into battle closely behind him. This was beyond the reach of the Han cavalry. Without living on horseback all year round, they could not keep up with Ma Su's speed.
However, these troops without formal training also have a fatal flaw, that is, lack of military discipline.
It was okay to follow Ma Su's passionate charge at the beginning, but once the war entered an anxious state, it was easy for them to disobey the command. They can fight wherever they want, but there is almost no cooperation between them.
In addition, each person has graduated from prenatal education, and they have no idea what the enemy coach is wearing or what his banner is.
This was how they ambush Hao Zhao that day. Less than half an hour into the fight, the group of Ziqiang soldiers couldn't help but rob him. Grabbing whatever he saw was expensive, Hao Zhao abandoned his shirt and flag and ran away under the eyes of the Qiang and Hu cavalry.
In order to prevent this kind of trouble from happening again, Ma Di decided to train this group of people in military discipline and formation and improve their education level while fighting guerrillas.
At least you have to recognize the difference between "Han" and "Wei", and don't end up taking away your own banner and offering it as credit.
"We all recognize it clearly. This character is Han and this character is Wei."
While commanding the soldiers to form a group of more than a dozen people to form a simple formation and learn to rush into the formation, Ma Di also took a slate and wrote down the instructions of the Han and Wei soldiers one by one.
"This is the Han of our Han Dynasty, the Han of the Emperor of Han! When you see this word on the flag, it means the Heavenly Army of our Han Dynasty!"
"This is Wei, the Wei of the fake Wei. Whoever can snatch the flag embroidered with this word during the war will be rewarded heavily by the emperor!"
"Understand?"
"Understood!"
Seeing the confused looks in these people's eyes, Ma Di knew that they didn't understand anything. Each of their eyes is clearer than a snow leopard. It’s really not that difficult to teach them.
If you want to train these big bosses, you still have a long way to go.
"General, we are all soldiers fighting. Why do we know this thing?" A few Qiang soldiers scratched their heads, a little puzzled that General Shenwei suddenly wanted to catch them to study.
This is something that the tribal leaders also wanted to teach, but they just didn't want to learn it.
"Do you think you don't need to read to fight? You guys can't even recognize who the coach is." Ma Su said with a dark face and angrily knocked the heads of these things.
"You have fought with me for such a long time, and you will definitely be rewarded when you return. However, if you don't know how to do anything, the most you can do is reward me with some fields and grain."
"Only soldiers who are capable and can read and write can be promoted. No matter how benevolent your Majesty is, you will not let a soldier who is only ignorant and reckless become a general!"
"Can we be generals?" A group of Qiang soldiers below were shocked and cheered in surprise.
"The general said that we can also become generals in the future!"
"Really!"
"Okay! I can actually become a general!"
Come on, I'm talking to myself again. I guess no one except the general understood what I just said.
Only Shu Ji understood what Ma Su was talking about, but because of this he was a little surprised.
In the eyes of most generals, low-level soldiers are nothing more than tools for killing, or even just a cold number. A general who can treat the lower-level soldiers as individuals and give them better treatment is already a good general in the world.
But looking at Ma Su's attitude, I'm afraid it's not just that, he has even given some soldiers consideration for their future.
This was completely incomprehensible to Shu Ji, and he had never seen such a general.
What is General Ma doing for?
At this moment, a scout suddenly came back from a distance, got off his horse and saluted Ma Su.
"General, we have discovered a large number of Wei army grain transport teams in the Lishui area, heading south along the river bank."
"Hao Zhao is still not convinced, so he sent me food again?" After hearing this, Ma Di just raised his eyebrows.
It seemed that Hao Zhao didn't intend to look back even after he hit the south wall. He vowed to break through the south wall before giving up.
"General, what should we do? Block it at Lianshui or Chencang Road?" Shu Ji next to him immediately became serious and asked Ma Su.
"Don't worry, let's see what their movements are." Ma Su was not nervous about this. It was more than a hundred miles from Lianshui to Chencang, and he had time to arrange whichever way you took.
"Remember what I said, know yourself and the enemy, and you will win every battle. First, we should find out the reality of this food transport team, and then we can make plans."
