System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"I will mobilize the troops immediately to avenge my father!"

Hearing Ma Teng say this, Ma Chao immediately became furious.

"sit down!"

"Give...give your father a seat!"

"My father's injury won't heal in a short time... You are the leader of an army, how can you be so frivolous and impulsive?"

Ma Teng shouted loudly with all his strength.

"But..."

"At this time, you should keep calm!"

Seeing that Ma Chao still didn't understand, Ma Teng said with a hint of disappointment.

"Son... do you know what I admire most about Dong Zhuo?"

"It's not that he came from humble beginnings, but that he has a good son!"

Ma Teng gritted his teeth, and beads of sweat flowed down his forehead.

Even though they kept cursing Dong Yu as a thief, the appearance of Dong Yu really made many people drop their jaws.

With such abilities at such a young age, it's no exaggeration to call him a Qilin.

Even with Dong Zhuo's family wealth to support him, he still had no hope of taking over the entire Jizhou, even if Ma Teng put all his wealth into it.

That's why he said this to Ma Chao.

He also hopes to have a son like this who can stand on his own and take up the responsibility.

"Father, I am no worse than anyone else!"

"Don't worry, father. I will never act rashly!"

Ma Chao was very unwilling, but he also made a promise at this moment.

"it is good!"

"For now...don't make enemies with Han Sui."

"If you can bear it, bear it. This person is very cunning... as cunning as a fox. If you act impulsively, you will definitely fall into his trap."

Ma Teng held Ma Chao's hand and gave him instructions.

"Father, have a good rest and take care of your health."

Ma Chao nodded heavily and spoke with concern.

...

Just when a rift appeared within the Xiliang coalition, Dong Yu led the four generals Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, with two thousand Flying Bears and three thousand cavalry, and rushed towards the direction of Baoxiade.

Zhang Xiu was left in Chang'an to temporarily take over tasks such as city defense and patrolling within the city.

On this trip, except for the Feixiong Army which was regular cavalry, the remaining 3,000 cavalry were infantrymen who were temporarily mounted on horses.

There is no need to have too high hopes for their combat effectiveness. The reason why Dong Yu asked them to mount horses was to speed up the march.

Once they arrive at the place, these people will dismount and fight.

This method of marching on foot became quite common after the establishment of the Han Dynasty.

"Brothers, after this war is over, this general will give you six months of vacation to go home and spend time with your wives!"

"But before that, you must cheer up and help me show those bastards who dared to offend us that our swords are sharp!"

Dong Yu raised the golden staff with coiled dragon shape and shouted loudly.

"kill!"

When they heard that there was a holiday, and it would last for half a year, all five thousand people were excited.

After several years of war, they were already exhausted.

As for the rewards of money, Dong Yu gave them quite a bit. They saved a lot of money, enough for them to squander.

What’s the point of having money if you don’t have time to enjoy it?

Therefore, Dong Yu's words hit the mark exactly what the soldiers wanted!

Baoxia Road.

This plank road is the only way out of Hanzhong and to Sanfu.

There are four more such plank roads.

From west to east, they are Chencang Road which leads directly to Chencang, Baoxia Road which leads directly to Mei County, Tangluo Road which leads directly to Wugong County, and Ziwu Road which leads directly to Chang'an.

Of course, there is also Qishan Road at the westernmost end, but the plank road there goes directly to Xiliang.

I drew a rough diagram using satellite maps combined with ancient maps. I didn't have one before because the author's account had just been upgraded to LV4.

Dong Yu led the cavalry at a gallop and attacked at night.

Although it is somewhat dangerous to use the moonlight, by comparison, the darkness of night can conceal the movements of the army.

During the march of more than 200 miles, Dong Yu's army had been hiding during the day and moving at night.

The purpose is naturally to avoid the eyes and ears of enemy scouts.

In this situation, even if you shoot and kill the enemy scout, the enemy will quickly realize that there is a large army operating in the wild.

Therefore, the only way to march is to hide during the day and move at night.
