The sun rose in the east and scattered its rays. All the soldiers of the Western Liang Army had finished their breakfast and mounted their horses, silently waiting for the order to set off!
When Meng Qian appeared in the camp with his black-gold armor and blood-red cape, leading Meng Ao and the other generals, a loud bang sounded!
"General!"
"General!"
* ****
*
All the soldiers shouted at Meng Qian. They rode on their warhorses, and the blood on the sabers in their hands had already dried up. However, their faces were still cold and stern!
They were ready to fight!
After venting last night, they did not fall on the woman's belly. Instead, they were even more energetic!
The long period of killing had made their minds tense, but those women had relieved their emotions!
The darkness in their hearts caused by the continuous battle was finally released! Everyone regained their coldness and fighting spirit!
They looked at Meng Qian. This was their commander. His combat strength was so strong that no one in Western Liang could compare to him. Everyone was convinced by him!
Many of them had followed Meng Qian through countless battles and received the rewards they deserved!
Therefore, this was an army that was extremely loyal to the Mengqian!
In reality, the way they addressed Meng Qian was not very accurate. Meng Qian could not be considered a real general. He was just a general!
In the military system of Great Han, the highest position was the Great General, followed by the Flying Cavalry General, the Chariot Cavalry General, the Guard General, the Front, Front, Left, Right, Left, and Right Generals, the Four Conquest Generals, the Four Town Generals, the Four Peace Generals, the Fourth Peace Generals, and finally the other miscellaneous generals!
Then came the rank of Zhonglang General. Meng Qian was currently a general in the town army. He was not even the lowest rank general, but he could barely reach the rank of general!
However, in truth, Meng Qian, this Zhonglang General, was still very, very valuable!
One had to know that the current generals were not the generals of the Three Kingdoms period. The generals of the Three Kingdoms period had already reached a level where they were overflowing. It was not rare to have hundreds of generals in one dynasty!
But at this time, the Eastern Han court had very strict control over the granting of generals. Even becoming the lowest rank general was very difficult!
As a result, most of the positions of the four expedition generals and the four town generals were vacant. They would only be temporarily awarded during wartime!
Only Great General He Jin, Cheji General Huangfu Song, former General Dong Zhuo, and a few others were considered true generals! There were only two hands in total!
Thinking about Sun Jian, a general who had been passed down for three generations, he was extremely precious, but he was not awarded by the imperial court!
When the 18th vassal attacked Dong, Yuan Shu first appointed himself as a rear general, and then Sun Jian as a general!
His no-name general was not recognized by the Imperial Court, and Meng Qian's general position was officially conferred by the Imperial Court. At this moment, Meng Qian's position as a lieutenant general was still very impressive!
Five years ago, when Huangfu Song put down the Yellow Turban uprising, he was the commander of the Han army. He was a general of the Left Middle School. It was because of his contribution to putting down the Yellow Turban uprising that he moved to a high position!
It was obvious that the position of the Zhonglang General in the Great Han Army was very high. After all, there were not many generals above him! In terms of power, Meng Qian's status was even higher!
He controlled more than 10,000 of the most elite Western Liang cavalry and was one of the leaders of the Western Liang army. No one dared to underestimate him!
Therefore, the soldiers under Meng Qian preferred to address him as 'general'!
As a general, he could be considered as one! As the commander of this army, Meng Qian did not hesitate in the face of many pairs of burning gazes. He directly pulled out his saber and shouted loudly,"Let's go!"
The deep horn sounded again. This was the order for the army to set out, making this desolate land even more desolate!
This yellow land seemed to never be able to escape from war and poverty! The sound of the horn was the eternal melody of the earth!
Amidst the sound of the horn, the soldiers of the Western Liang Army galloped out of the camp. Their horses stepped on the ground, stirring up yellow sand. Ten thousand horses galloped with an imposing manner!
For this long distance raid, Meng Qian's cavalry consisted of one person and two horses. After destroying the Yexian Tribe, they had obtained a large number of horses!
It had to be known that even in Western Liang, these warhorses were expensive. The Western Liang army also had a great demand for warhorses. Therefore, other than the old and weak, all the horses were taken away by the Western Liang army!
More than 20,000 warhorses galloped on the ground with a shocking aura!
The people of Western Liang were born with horses as their companions. They were able to ride warhorses skillfully, so it was effortless for each soldier to ride three or four warhorses!
They had to be faster to attack the rebel army's grain camp!
It was a pity that they could not bring more things with them!
In the middle of the army, Meng Qian was riding on his scarlet warhorse as he looked ahead with a cold and sharp gaze! The origin of this horse was not ordinary. It was an authentic Ferghana Horse!
What Meng Qian had gotten someone to bring over from the Western Regions was a stallion that had just matured! He was very strong!
Western Liang horses had always been tall and strong, and their explosive power was more suitable for the burly physique of Western Liang people. They were much taller than Bingzhou horses and Youzhou horses!
But this Ferghana Horse was even bigger! His sideburns were long and his muscles were bulging. He looked very majestic and he would really sweat blood!
Meng Qian treasured this Ferghana Horse very much. In this era, having a good horse was every man's dream. A good horse could multiply a general's battle prowess! Not to mention a rare breed like the Ferghana Horse!
Due to the changes in the natural environment and human activities, Ferghana Horses were extremely rare even in the Western Regions!
In the later generations, Ferghana Horses were almost completely extinct. This also made Meng Qian yearn for the Western Regions even more, not just the Silk Road that was covered with gold!
He couldn't let the Ferghana Horses go extinct! Even if you're a stallion, you have to pass it down!
Beside Meng Qian was Xun You, who looked dispirited as if he hadn't slept for days. Meng Qian smiled when he saw him like this.
Last night he's situation also someone to Meng Qian report, this guy really is when one night Liu Xiahui, is staring blankly at those two Qiang girls, one night didn't sleep!
It would be a wonder if he was energetic!
"Angel, did you rest well last night?”Meng Qian smiled faintly and said.
