Yang Xiu and Xu Chu have already left. Cao Peng heard about the incident and praised Zhang Song heavily afterwards.

Zhang Song felt that even if he offended someone, he would be worthy of being praised by Cao Peng.

When Cao Peng was happy, he took Zhang Song to the teaching ground in his army.

At this time, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and others were training soldiers here. The original team and the remaining soldiers gathered this time, he had a total of no less than 100,000 people.

When Zhang Song saw these soldiers, his armor was bright and his spear was shining. Seeing that these soldiers were full of energy, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

"Look at my army, can we break Xichuan?"

Cao Peng asked this question on purpose, and Zhang Song hurriedly said, "It's more than enough. Where has there ever been such a mighty army in Xichuan?"

Cao Peng smiled faintly, reached out and patted Zhang Song on the shoulder: "I know you are a capable person. Don't worry, I will definitely have a chance to show your talents here."

Zhang Song nodded vigorously, and he also felt that Cao Peng was definitely a reliable person.

...

The army advanced westward, pacifying the bandits along the way and retracting the remaining troops. Cao Peng's strength continued to grow.

Just as Cao Peng led his army to Xiliang and confronted Ma Chao again.

Ma Chao has regrouped his power in Longxi.

After comparing the gap between the soldiers and horses of the two sides, I was surprised to find that Ma Chao had gathered another 70,000 to 80,000 people.

It seems that Ma Chao is indeed a bit famous in Xiliang.

If you don't destroy him completely, it's like a weed.

Cao Peng sent troops to set up a formation, asking Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to lead three armies to besiege Ma Chao.

Even though Ma Chao is brave, he will be unable to resist the troops attacking at the same time in these three directions.

Moreover, Cao Jun also had that powerful crossbow in his hand, and his shooting power was very high.

"Despicable, Cao Thief, you have the courage, don't use such despicable and shameless means!"

Even though Ma Chao cursed like this, Cao Peng did not take him seriously at all.

Ma Chao asked the Qiang people to support him, but Cao Peng called Wanyue, a Qiang woman, and went with her to persuade the Qiang people to surrender.

The leader of the Qiang tribe learned that his only daughter had become Cao Peng's woman.

Of course I was a little angry, but I could do nothing.

He loves his only daughter very much.

Since Cao Peng has married his only daughter, there is no reason for the Qiang people to be hostile to Cao Peng.

But the leader of the Qiang tribe was still concerned about his previous friendship with Ma Teng.

Although Ma Teng is dead now, he still cannot make them enemies with Ma Chao.

So, they had to tell Cao Peng that they were not helping each other.

Cao Peng has already been satisfied with being able to get such a promise.

He continued to fight attributable to Ma Chao without any haste, and Ma Chao was in crisis again.

Ma Chao's military power cannot defeat Cao Peng's generals. His army is not as good as Cao Peng, and even the Qiang people support this last reliance is no longer there.

Asked Zhuge Liang for advice, the other party believed that Longxi was not a place to live for a long time, so he advised Ma Chao to go to Xichuan immediately.

Ma Chao also knew the form, and even though he had no choice but to rectify his troops and march westward.

As soon as Ma Chao left, the land of Xiliang was gradually recovered by Cao Peng, and one small force after another was either destroyed or surrendered.

Xiliang has become Xiliang under Cao Peng's control.

The first thing Cao Peng did was to send someone good news to Cao Cao in Xu Du.

The second thing was to let Chen Qun lead the civil affairs and formulate a series of systems.

The purpose is to allow the land of Xiliang to rest and recuperate, so that he can recruit troops and horses smoothly in the future.

According to Cao Peng's arrangement, he would recruit soldiers here and prepare everything before he could advance westward.

The land of Xiliang is called the land of bitter and cold.

Even though the Xiliang Army was strong, the food here was very scarce.

The reason is that although there is a lot of land here, there is no fertile land.

The Qiang people are not good at farming, so they don’t have much land to gather.

However, the military farming system was originally the norm in this era.

With the help of the army, the cultivation of fertile fields was very smooth.

Although Cao Peng was very opposed to such a policy, he believed that soldiers should take war as their duty and fight while farming. What combat effectiveness can such an army have?

However, such extraordinary measures can only be taken in extraordinary times.

Food is the guarantee of sending troops. He can also go to Xichuan one or two questions to join in the fun one day earlier.

Xiliang has a very wide land, and these are black soils, and they can achieve high yields even if they are used properly.

Cao Peng asked Huang Yueying to improve Quyuan Pear, and the speed of reclaiming fertile fields on this plate immediately increased a lot.

Even though everything was moving forward rapidly, Cao Peng still felt that it was not fast enough.

He took the Qiang Miss Wanyue to the gathering place of the Qiang people himself.

Given to the Qiang people, cattle, sheep, and even gold, silver and jewelry, the Qiang people are willing to work hard for themselves.

Although, the Qiang people and Ma Chao had a good relationship before.

However, under the attack of Cao Peng giving sugar-coated shells, the Qiang people had already recognized Cao Peng's occupation of Xiliang.

Even, they felt that Cao Peng was in charge of the country and their lives would be better than in the past Han Sui and Ma Teng period.

After reclaiming the fields, Cao Peng asked someone to plant countless potatoes, which was his reliance on the grain storage of his Western Expedition.

Of course, it will be several months before these potatoes mature in the first season.

Cao Peng is very busy, and his men are all busy.

They knew that this busyness was different from before, and that they were building their own foundation.

A foundation that belongs only to them.

On the other hand, Cao Peng had arranged Man Chong before and asked the Jinyiwei to send his family out. Zou, Mi and others were already on the way to Xiliang under the escort of the Jinyiwei.

...

On the other hand, after Ma Chao took Zhuge Liang away from Xiliang.

They had just arrived in Xichuan and actually collided with Zhang Lu's army.

There are no less than 200,000 people on Zhang Lu's side, while Ma Chao only has tens of thousands.

After learning, Zhang Lu also planned to attack Xichuan.

Ma Chao was crazy, and Zhuge Liang was also confused.

If you forcefully fight Zhang Lu, you will definitely not be able to win. You will turn around and leave now, without a foothold behind you.

After some discussion, Ma Chao decided to temporarily belong to Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu accepted it happily. He also admired Ma Chao's military power and believed that he had obtained a general.

Although the advisers around him advised him to be careful of Ma Chao.

However, Zhang Lu refused to listen. He wanted to win over Ma Chao and let Ma Chao stay under his command forever.

At this point, Zhang Lu thought of a solution.

He has a daughter who is now in his youth. He cannot be said to be beautiful in the country, but he is also beautiful in the world.

If his daughter and Ma Chao marry him, wouldn’t Ma Chao become his son-in-law?
