Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 313 The Battle of the Prisoners
"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to ask General Ma for some prisoners of war." Wei Yan said, this is for Xu Shu.

"I don't know if Yuan Zhi told the lord." Wei Yan was also worried, because Wu Shun had told him not to take prisoners.But Xu Shu asked him to help, and he had to help.Best to ask after the fact.

"Captives? Your army never surrendered before, I don't know why now..."

Ma Teng was very puzzled. After Wei Yan arrived in Xiliang, he never accepted the surrender of the enemy.This time he opened his mouth to ask him for a prisoner, which is really puzzling.

"Oh, there are a lot of miscellaneous things in the military that need manpower to take care of them." Wei Yan made an excuse casually.

"I wonder how many prisoners General Wei needs?"

The Wuling army helped him so much, if he didn't give any prisoners, it would be hard to say that he would be able to invite them next time.Ma Teng did not want to affect the relationship between the two parties because of some prisoners.Since Wei Yan wants it, he will give it.

"Not many, just 3000 people!" Wei Yan said with a smile, Ma Teng's attitude made him very happy.

"3000 people?! 3000 people are needed to deal with miscellaneous affairs? General Wei must know that most Qiang people are rebellious. The more prisoners there are, the stronger the guarding force is needed."

Originally thought that Wei Yan would need a few hundred people to finish the job, but who knew that he would need 3000 people at once.Ma Teng felt very painful thinking about it.

"It doesn't matter, our Wuling army's power among the Qiang people should be no less than that of General Shenweitian! Qiang prisoners will not dare to run wild in my camp."

Wei Yan said confidently that the Wuling Army's notoriety has spread far and wide when fighting the Qiang people during this period of time.Wei Yan's name can stop children from crying at night!

"Okay, I will accept the captives. After my son Ma Chao returns, we will hand over the matter. General Wei, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"

Only when the pursuit is over can we know how many people have been captured in this battle.Ma Teng's arrangement was reasonable, and Wei Yan had no objection.

In the evening, Ma Chao and Ma Dai led the troops back.The two are in a good mood, and it can be seen that this battle has gained a lot of benefits.

"Father, a total of [-] enemies were killed in this battle, [-] were captured, [-] horses were captured, and countless weapons and armor were captured!"

Ma Chao said excitedly.This was a great victory. After this battle, they overwhelmed Han Sui again in terms of strength and regained the initiative on the battlefield!

"Okay, the soldiers are tired all day today, let's take a full night's rest first, prepare wine and meat tomorrow, and reward the three armies!"

After winning the battle, as the coach, Ma Teng should be rewarded as a matter of course, so as to unite the hearts of the people.

"Yes, my child, go and order!"

"Go!"

After dismissing Ma Chao, Ma Teng looked at Wei Yan again, and the effect had already come out.It's time to make up for the Azure Dragon Cavalry.

Although the Qinglong cavalry are all elite.But it is inevitable that there will be some damage on the battlefield.

"This time I harvested [-] war horses, so how about giving [-] to Qinglongqi as compensation?"

Two thousand war horses are already very generous conditions.

"Well, yes, I would like to ask General Ma to provide additional food and grass support for our army. Of course, two thousand prisoners of war must not be less!"

It is a surprise to have two thousand war horses.Wei Yan didn't expect Ma Teng to use a war horse to compensate him.

"Thanks to General Wei taking the lead in piercing through the Baima Qiang cavalry this time, the morale of our army has been boosted. The Wuling Army is indeed the best in the world."

After the benefits were distributed, it was natural to flatter them again.As a prince of one side, Ma Teng is well versed in this way.But Wei Yan didn't like this tune.

After getting what he wanted, Wei Yan was about to leave, so he got up to leave, but he didn't want Ma Chao to come back again.And he looked at Wei Yan with an unfriendly expression.

"Father, there are only [-] war horses, why send [-] horses away?"

Ma Chao ignored Wei Yan, who was looking gloomy, and directly protested to Ma Teng.

"Meng Qi, this time it was General Wei who led the troops to break Han Sui's formation, so that our army could take advantage of the situation to defeat the enemy, and the Qinglong cavalry was seriously injured. Compensation for [-] horses should be taken for granted. This matter is settled like this!"

There is no room for Ma Chao to mess with the things he has set.If the distribution of benefits is not good, maybe Wei Yan will help Han Sui.

After all, Wei Yan had done that before.

Being choked back by Ma Teng, Ma Chao could only bear it. After all, it was his father.But he didn't care about Wei Yan.

"General Wei, you never take prisoners, why do you ask my father for three thousand?"

"It seems that there is no need to tell the major general, right?"

Wei Yan also disliked Ma Chao's temper.If it wasn't for Ma Teng's face, he would have cursed.

Wei Yan's cold words stabbed Ma Chao, the [-] prisoners he had worked so hard to capture.Just divide the three thousand out like this, he just can't make it through!Just angry!What are you waiting to say, but don't berate Ma Teng:

"Meng Qi, this is what General Wei promised for his father, what objection do you have?"

"Father...children are meaningless."

Ma Chao was speechless. Ma Teng always helped Wei Yan. He could turn against Wei Yan, but he didn't dare to contradict Ma Teng.

Ma Chao gouged Wei Yan with hatred, and strode out.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Ma Chao's expression was not good, Ma Dai stepped forward to care for him.

"It's okay... Ding Lin can go to work, don't follow me." Ma Chao just wanted to be quiet at this time.

Hearing the noise outside, Wei Yan felt it was funny.Ma Chao seemed to be possessed by a demon, seeing himself as displeased everywhere, and he would definitely explode in the future.

That's good too, Wu Shun will march into Xiliang sooner or later, and leave an introduction so that he can turn his face in the future.

"General Wei, my son is naughty, alas... please don't argue with him."

Ma Teng said helplessly.

"Hehe, the major general is young and promising, and he should have some temper. Naturally, Wei won't care."

I definitely don't care now, and I won't know in the future, Wei Yan thought.

After Ma Chao left, Wei Yan also left and returned to the camp. He still had important things to do and had no time to chat with Ma Teng.

That night, Wei Yanxiu sent two letters to Chengdu and Chang'an overnight.

……

Chengdu, the mansion of the general who conquered the west.

"My lord, urgent report from Xiliang!" Qu'a handed a secret letter to Wu Shun.

"Oh? Urgent report? Let me see." Is there any big war at this time?Wu Shun was very curious.

"Hehe, Yuanzhi has a good idea. Well, Wei Yan did a good job, and he even got two thousand horses. Let him put the horses in Xiliang for the time being."

After finishing speaking, Wu Shun threw the secret letter aside.The letter was written by Wei Yan, and it was about the battle between Han Sui and Ma Teng. It also said that Xu Shu and him wanted to take prisoners to build roads and dig ditches, and that Ma Teng compensated the two thousand horses.

Wu Shun knew that this urgent report was because Xu Shu's request was at odds with his original order.Wei Yan had no choice but to explain the situation to himself first.In the letter, he called Qu Shu for Xu Shu, and Wu Shun was also speechless.

"My lord, asking General Wei to let go of the horse, will it be a bit..."

Qu A hesitated to speak, he instinctively felt that it would be a waste of talents to let Wei Yan go.

"It's not as simple as raising horses in Xiliang. Maybe someone has to be sent to assist him. Ask Pei Yuanshao to be his lieutenant general."

Wu Shun said with a smile, Qu A did not fully understand the difference between herding horses and raising horses.

"The last general will inform General Pei."

Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang defected together, Guan Hai and Zhou Cang became generals, and now Wu Shun has finally promoted Pei Yuanshao to work hard.Qu A was also happy for him.

"Go ahead, let Pei Yuanshao go to Chang'an first, and inform Yuan Zhi that it is a good practice to let the captives work, and I support it."

"Yes!"

Qu'a left the general's mansion and went straight to the barracks.Tell Pei Yuanshao the good news of his promotion.Let him have a good time.

Among the three brothers, Guan Hai is the deputy general of the Xuanwu Legion and is well-known.Zhou Cang is in Baihuying, following Zhang Xiong, and has a bright future.Only Pei Yuanshao was more embarrassed, and now he has finally made his way.

Going to Qinglongqi to help Wei Yan also has a bright future.In future wars, cavalry is the protagonist!
