When he left Guzang, Ma Feng said goodbye to Jia Gong as a teacher.
In the past three years, Ma Feng had learned a lot from Jia Gong. He was very sincere and kept everything to himself.
Jia Gong had especially taught him a lot about the basics of the military.
Wu Mu's Will was indeed a rare art of war, but there was a lot of basic knowledge that was omitted, and this was all based on Jia Gong.
Jia Gong, an old man in his sixties, often went up the mountain to give lectures to Ma Feng's subordinates.
According to Jia Gong, he felt comfortable when he saw this group of fierce soldiers. Only soldiers like them could fight hard battles.
……
After returning to Longxi.
Because there was not much time left, Ma Feng gave Ma Teng a few suggestions based on the situation.
The first point was to store up as much food as possible.
Now, storing food was equivalent to storing troops. When the war began, there would be countless vagrants.
As long as there was enough food, they could gather enough soldiers.
Horses, the more the better, it was equally important.
Get rid of all the five baht money of the Ma family.
During times of war, money was far less important than food.
When war broke out, money would no longer be money. It would just be a pile of useless copper that could not be spent even if one had money.
Resources were the most important thing.
Reinforce the walls of Di Dao and make it a base camp before slowly expanding.
Of course, Ma Feng naturally couldn't directly tell them what would happen in a few months 'time. Instead, he told them in a roundabout way.
Ma Feng's suggestions were the best, but Ma Teng was not interested.
Because Ma Teng felt that there would be no war at all. The entire Liangzhou was now as stable as an old dog.
Even the Qiang Tribe had become much more stable. The fighting between the tribes had decreased significantly. Although their lives were ordinary, at least they did not starve to death. Why would they rebel?
Ma Feng couldn't say it directly, so he could only try to persuade her.
However, Ma Teng had a stubborn personality and could not be persuaded. This made Ma Feng very angry.
"Father, isn't it better to take preventive measures? Why can't you listen to me?"
"What do you know? Why did he store so much food? Wouldn't it become moldy? Our family has a thousand acres of fertile land, and there are merchants from the east of the country selling grain every year. Do we need that much?”Ma Teng said in confusion.
"What if there is a rebellion? Can your fertile land still be planted? Can merchants from the east of the country still come to Liangzhou?"
"Zhan Luan? Bullsh * t! I won't boast, but I, Ma Teng, have the final say on whether Longxi is in chaos or not. Who dares to start a war?”
These words were not boasting. With Ma Teng's current status as a commandant and his relationship with the Xianling Qiang, he could indeed control the entire Longxi.
"What about the rebellions in other places? Can you still control the other counties?”
"Where else can there be a rebellion? Even if there was, it would be a small fight. What kind of big rebellion could there be?”Ma Teng said indifferently.
"What if the Han family of Jin City and the Qiang people of Jin City County join forces?”Ma Feng couldn't hold it in anymore.
Ma Teng pondered for a moment and said," That's not a big deal. The provincial governor is in front of us. Besides, will Luoyang not care?" They will definitely send a general to suppress it."
"What if Luoyang doesn't have any scruples?”
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you hoping for something better? Can't you just let me make a fortune for a few years? Get lost, go do what you need to do.”
This was indeed beyond Ma Teng's understanding. The Han Dynasty had been stable for so many years, and Luoyang had no time to care? Wasn't this nonsense? He couldn't be bothered to argue with Ma Feng.
"No, how about this? Give me the horse farm business and food, and I won't argue with you. How about it?”
Ma Feng said after thinking for a moment.
He could tell that Ma Teng would never believe it unless it really happened.
He could only rely on himself now.
"Alright, alright. Won't these industries be yours sooner or later? But you better save some money. Don't f * cking mess around.”
Ma Teng waved his hand impatiently.
After getting Ma Teng's approval, Ma Feng arranged for his men to take over the horse farm.
The Ma family's horse farm in Longsang City had already reached a certain scale, with more than 4,000 horses.
However, it was still too little. Ma Feng began to purchase warhorses in large quantities. He only brought them in and did not bring them out.
Actually, horses were also divided into grades.
A-grade horses and B-grade horses could only be used as warhorses. No other horses could be used as warhorses.
And Ma Feng specialized in hoarding these two stallions.
As for food, other than daily consumption, it was also only imported.
As long as the grain merchants in the east of the country were selling grain, Ma Feng would take it all, even if the price was a little higher.
However, the time left for Ma Feng was too short.
It was already September when he returned to Longxi.
In November, it was already winter. The merchants from the east of the country no longer came to Liangzhou because it was too cold.
Ma Feng did some calculations. There were about 700,000 catties of grain.
This was already a very large amount. In Di Dao, there were two large warehouses filled with grain.
It sounded like a lot, but it would be consumed during the winter.
By the next spring, it would be good if he had five hundred thousand dan left.
Five hundred thousand dan, if he were to support an army of thirty thousand people, how long could he last?
At most, it would last three to four months.
But could 30,000 people deal with Han Sui? Ma Feng was not confident.
There were more than 8,000 warhorses on the horse farm.
He could continue to purchase warhorses in the winter.
There was no problem with the number of warhorses, but Ma Feng still had to think of a way to deal with the problem of rations.
Time flew by.
It was March 184.
On the 5th day of the 3rd month, Zhang Jiao wrote,"The heavens are dead, the yellow heavens should be established, the year is in the 60th year, and the world is in good luck."”For the slogan line to raise troops against the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Jiao called himself General Heaven Duke.
Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were called the Earth Duke General and the Human Duke General respectively.
The first rebellion was in Jizhou, and then the entire Guandong, Yanzhou, Bingzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and even the Si Li where Luoyang was located had rebelling Yellow Turban soldiers.
In just half a month, everything was in chaos.
