When it comes to the foreign races in the south, they are definitely different from the foreign races in the north. Big differences, that is. This is not only due to the difference in their strength, but also their different ideas. After all, in the eyes of the northern foreigners, they don't value territory so much, especially the Han people's places. For them, as long as they have plundered enough, it is not really a big problem whether the Han people occupy the territory. They feel that the Han people's place is still not as good as the prairie, and it is true that the Han people are numerous, but if they want to increase the population, they can just rob the Han people's place, and it is not a big deal. But the foreigners in the south are different. They know that the Han people are more civilized than themselves, so if they occupy their territory and have their cities, it can be said that they can develop a civilization like theirs. Really. Therefore, the south and the north are indeed very different. This must be because they have different ideas. In terms of civilization, the north is still a grassland civilization, but the south is already learning from the Han people and farming the same way, and is about to become an agricultural civilization. Speaking of which, the grassland civilization in the north is indeed more powerful. With such powerful combat power, Ma Chao knew that even his own side was no match. But the agricultural civilization is more developed. After all, this is determined by history. Looking back, we will know that. It is necessary for the agricultural civilization to develop further. Needless to say, history is there. Just now, a comparison has emerged. Look at a certain landlocked country that has become independent. Compared with Bangzi, it is indeed incomparable, so there is no need to say more. It can¡¯t even be compared with the place north of Bangzi (I won¡¯t say much about this, and I dare not write too much about it now). So it can be seen that the alien races in the north are indeed capable of fighting, but it is true that they have not developed much. Their civilization will eventually have to develop into a farming civilization. Grassland civilization will not work after all. This is really . Therefore, the foreign races and foreign countries in the south have different ideas from the foreign races in the north. They also want to occupy territory and occupy the Han people's place, which is beneficial to their development. After all, there are some things they don't know how to do, but the Han people do. Even if there are not many people in Jiuzhen and Ninan, it is still what they need, that's right. Therefore, no matter from any aspect, Sun Ce would not give any chance to the foreigners in the south. In that case, he and Jiangdong Army would become criminals. Why would they not do that, and Ma Chao would not do it. Speaking of which, the Liangzhou army is not as strong as the foreign tribes in the north, but it can definitely defeat the foreign tribes in the south. The foreign tribes in the south are not opponents against the Liangzhou army. The foreign tribes are not as strong as the foreign tribes in the north. Just look at the original Nanman and you can tell something about it. At that time, Meng Huo and the others were using all their strength, and there was almost nothing left to do. But looking at the Liangzhou Army, at least Ma Chao didn't use all his strength. To be honest, if the Liangzhou Army really uses all its strength, it is still possible to destroy the Nanman, and it is not impossible. You said that if you let them destroy the Jiangdong Army at that time, at least one naval force can block the Liangzhou Army. Not to mention that they will definitely be able to stop them, but it will be no problem to stop them for a long time. And there is the help of the Yanzhou Army. No matter what, the Yanzhou Army has to protect the Jiangdong Army at the beginning, and that is absolutely correct. So the Liangzhou Army was short-lived, but they couldn't destroy the Jiangdong Army at that time. But if we use our full strength, we can destroy the Southern Barbarians, that is. But Ma Chao wouldn't do that, he wouldn't lead the Liangzhou Army like that. Although it is not as good as Kong Ming who captured Meng Huo seven times, he also came five times. At least for the time being, Meng Huo and the others have returned home. After all, they have already gotten a lot of what they wanted, which can be said to be pretty good. He is not stupid and knows very well the strength of the Liangzhou Army. It is just a matter of time before they can destroy their own side. As long as Ma Chao is determined, there will be no problem. So Meng Huo also knew that he couldn't offend the other party, that's pretty much it. I got most of what I wanted, and that was actually enough. ?????????????????? If you have worked so hard and got nothing, you must be mentally unbalanced. But who would let Ma Chao know what Meng Huo and the others were thinking? There was nothing they could do. It's true that he wants territory, but there are more important things he wants than territory, that's right. For Ma Chao, as long as he can give it to the other party, it doesn't matter if he gives it to them gradually. After all, the state of Meng Huo's southern barbarians is that they are not a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, but they are a tributary state of the Liangzhou Army. This is true. yes. As for Ma Chao, he did not expect to recruit troops from Meng Huo's territory, but it was true that he did so. The Liangzhou Army has a Southern Barbarian army. Even if the number is small, it still has something. In history, it does not mean that Liu Bei's Shu army did not have people from the southern barbarians, such as the flying army. After all, the combat power of the Southern Barbarians is limited, but to be honest, every army has elites, and elites can be trained, so the Wudang Feijun is naturally the elite of the Southern Barbarians. Ma Chao's name is not that, and he not only uses southern barbarian soldiers, but also generals, such as wooden horses, which can drive away beasts.One of them, Wu Tu Gu's subordinates also used it, and their rattan armor has made great achievements. But it can only be used once. If there are more, people will directly attack with fire, so it doesn¡¯t work. The same goes for Trojan horses. Beasts can only be used as surprise soldiers. It is true that they cannot participate in battles as regular troops. That doesn't work. However, the elite Nanman soldiers can do it, but Ma Chao has not yet used them. Those people's skills lie in fighting in the mountains, not in attacking cities on the plains. Of course, the elite of the Southern Barbarians can attack and defend the city without any problem, but Ma Chao is not so willing to use them. The more they are used, the less they are. It's not that we can no longer recruit troops in the Southern Barbarians because there are fewer people, but to have such elites, we have to train and fight. Otherwise, we really can't compare, that is. So for Ma Chao, he doesn't need it if he can. After all, his current troops are still enough. Therefore, he was very relieved that the elite Nanman troops were still in Yizhou, training every day, and being managed by Zhang Song and the others. If they are to be used someday soon, then it is indeed their duty to let them take action. It is definitely not the time yet. Indeed, when they come out, Ma Chao will never be stingy and let them come out, this is inevitable. But now, the critical moment has not yet come, and they are definitely attacking the city, not defending it. That Ma Chao will not let them do it, there is no need. It is our own side that attacks others, rather than others trying to destroy our own side. Even if there is an attack, they are not needed. Unless the other party comes to dissuade us, can we reach that point? At least Ma Chao doesn't think that his side can reach that point. Jiangdong Army and Yanzhou Army will meet, but his side will not. After all, he still believes in his own strength. Jiangdong Army can't compare with his own. Even the Yanzhou Army, in terms of strength, is still inferior to his own, that is. If there is a time when the strength of Yanzhou Army can surpass our own, then only then can Ma Chao have a real sense of crisis, but not now. They are just foreigners from the north. They have given us a great sense of crisis. There is nothing we can do about it. He has given up thinking about it, but he can't do it. The strength gap is there. Ma Chao had indeed thought that it would be great if the northern aliens were as strong as the Yanzhou Army. He didn't have so many ideas to deal with them. But now they are so strong and difficult to deal with. Our own strength exceeds that of the Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army, but the strength of the foreign tribes in the north is still the same. Their overall strength exceeds our own plus the Yanzhou Army plus the Jiangdong Army. No one in the three parties is stronger, really. So this actually explains a lot of problems, yes. If we had that kind of strength, we would have dominated the world long ago, and we would no longer be afraid of the foreign races in the north. If they don't attack, it means they picked it up and we still want to attack them. But now it's the opposite, which is good. Strength, this is the king. Without strength, you really have nothing. On the other hand, if you don¡¯t say anything, you have everything, but it¡¯s almost missing. Really, this is always the case. That¡¯s quite right, but it¡¯s not absolute. But it¡¯s basically right, that¡¯s right. Therefore, everyone wants strength. This is not the first time I have said this. Ma Chao, Cao Cao and Sun Ce, Liangzhou Army, Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army are all like this. There is no difference. Even Sun Ce and the others have never given up. They also know how to recruit troops to increase their strength. Even if Jiaozhou is about to be lost, they have never given up at all. Yes, even if the Liangzhou Army wanted to make their side worse and left the two counties of Jiuzhen and Rinan to their own side, Sun Ce and the others didn't think much about it. They really wouldn't say that they would give up those two counties to the foreigners. Won't. Maybe the people in the Jiangdong Army thought that way, but they would never say that they wanted to give it to a foreign race, but they just wanted to give it to Ma Chao and the Liangzhou Army. To them, it is true that giving the territory of the Han Dynasty to a foreign race and foreign country is no different from betraying the country. Don't look at them and the Liangzhou Army fighting over this and that. After all, it's all their own business. Even if they are destroyed by the other side, it's just because their skills are inferior to others, so there's nothing they can do about it. But if it has to do with foreign races and foreign countries, they won't think so. For our own side and the Liangzhou Army, having those two counties is actually better than not having them. But for the foreign tribes and foreign countries in the south, their ability to seize those two counties is definitely a lot of benefits, but it is also a disadvantage. Less. Yes, after all, Jiuzhen County and Rinan County are the same to our side and the Liangzhou Army. But for foreigners and foreign countries, to them, it is indeed the same thing. Our own side and the Liangzhou Army dislike it and don't want it, but they do want it for foreign races and foreign countries, which is good. So this is the same as what he said. The so-called "His honey is my poison. His poison is my honey." Anyway, that's what it means, and it's roughly correct. For the Liangzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army, the place they don't want is what they want very much for the foreign races and foreign countries in the south. If it weren't for the fact that Jiangdong Army had some troops there over the years, they might have attacked. In fact, if Ma Chao was in the Liangzhou Army, Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army didn't seem to have many defenders in Jiuzhen and Rinan. But this is their opinion. When they come to the foreign tribes and countries in the south, they don't have the strength of the Liangzhou Army, and they are not even as strong as the Nanman. So why do they think that the Jiangdong Army has fewer people there? I can only say that it feels too much, that is. "After all, they don't have the strength of the northern aliens. Otherwise, they would have attacked long ago, really. Even Meng Huo's Southern Barbarian coalition was inferior. Therefore, Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army was the weakest among the feudal lords in the Han Dynasty, but they felt that the opponent was very strong, so they really couldn't defeat it. Moreover, some of their men and horses are even less powerful than Jiangdong's army, so what else can they expect? It¡¯s true that the Liangzhou Army felt that the Jiangdong army had fewer horses and horses, but they didn¡¯t feel that there were foreign races in the south. Instead, they thought there were too many and that they were strong. Yes, from the perspective of Ma Chao and the Liangzhou Army, it is indeed nothing. Even if it were replaced by Cao Cao and the Yanzhou Army, they would not feel that the Jiangdong Army had many men and horses guarding the two counties and was strong. As for the foreign races from the north, they wouldn't even think anything of it. But they don't look at the foreign races and countries in the south that way. In terms of strength, they are just a little stronger than the countries in the Western Regions, but their strength is limited, that's it. So it is not difficult to think of what the situation is. Moreover, in their place, Jiang Dongjun had already arranged detailed arrangements, and Sun Ce and the others did know the opponent's strength very well. It's really not as good as the Southern Barbarian Alliance, and it's just a little stronger than those countries in the Western Regions. It's not a coalition of countries in the Western Regions, but a country that compares them. This is true, after all, the Western Region is weak, but if dozens of countries unite together, their strength will not be comparable to that of ordinary forces, really. After all, if you really talk about it, it is still okay for the strongest country in the Western Region to bring out 200,000 horses. If the horses are super clear, for example, Wusun, then there is absolutely no problem. Of course, in other countries, some have at least more than 10,000 troops, which is really too few. In the Liangzhou Army, there are not even as many men and horses as the guards in one of their counties. It's true. After all, how many big countries in the Western Region like Wusun are there in total? Just two or three, that¡¯s too much to say, really. Therefore, the foreign races in the south are stronger than those in the western regions. This does not mean that they are stronger than their combined forces, but that they are stronger than a certain country. At least they are stronger than a country with more than 10,000 troops, really. If you want to compare with a big country like Wusun, it is indeed incomparable. It is not as good as others. There are so many troops, more than 200,000. It is not that Ma Chao has never thought about running the Western Region, but to be honest, he feels that right now, it is really unnecessary.
