Chapter 1190 The Expectations of the Ma Family Father and Son

Ma Teng finally waited for the Roman army.

There are more than 5000 troops in advance, and they will arrive slowly later.

Ma Teng has mastered the entire Silk Road. Although he traded with Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu's caravan could not continue to move forward after arriving in Liangzhou. It had to sell the goods to them in Liangzhou, and then the caravan formed by Ma Teng and the others transported them. Go to Rome to sell.

In the past few years, the Silk Road has been very developed, and caravans come and go every day.

The West is very curious about the East, and they have organized many caravans to come.

However, they can only be in Liangzhou, and they are also controlled and monopolized by Ma Teng.

Ma Teng did not allow Zhang Yu to trade directly with Rome, just to take advantage of both sides and make a fortune.

When the western army arrived, Ma Teng and his son received them.

"General, I don't know how well prepared your weapons and equipment are. If we carry heavy weapons and equipment from the West, and cannot transport much food and grass, it will be very dangerous." The Western general asked the translator to speak to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng said: "We have already built a batch, but your weapons and equipment are too large and difficult to build, and Liangzhou has no resources, so you can only buy them from other places, which is very difficult."

The western general with the high nose and blue eyes frowned. They only brought a small amount of weapons and equipment.

"Take me to see."

The western general asked Ma Teng to take him to see it.

"Not bad, not bad, very good, very good. The weapons and equipment you built are much better than those we built ourselves, but the quantity is too small."

The Roman generals were very happy to see the quality of the weapons and equipment, but Ma Teng only built more than 1 pairs in total, which was not enough at all.

Ma Teng did not expect that when he was preparing at the beginning, they were all playing according to their own size. After playing 10,000+ pairs, they discovered this fatal problem.

But it's not a waste, Ma Teng's soldiers and horses can also be used.

Afterwards, we began to build weapons and equipment that Roman soldiers could use, but this cost a lot of money, and the difficulty of building has also increased a lot.

Ma Teng is rich, but Zhang Yu's trade with them is fundamentally unequal, and he usually sells to them at a much higher price.

Although Ma Teng earns a lot of money every year, it is also terrible to spend.

The food and drink of the more than 20 troops is a big problem, and the weapons and equipment are frighteningly expensive. After Bie Zhangyu blocked it, it was several times more expensive.

Zhang Yu sold them salt, tea, pottery and silk, etc., all of which were open to supply, but for some strategic materials such as iron ore, Zhang Yu was very stingy, and the price he gave was small and the price was high.

Ma Teng went to find and mine by himself several times, but the quantity was too small, so he still needed to buy a lot.

Zhang Yu gave very little on the surface, so he would use smuggling, but the cost of smuggling is also very expensive.

"Don't worry, general, your [-] troops have arrived in Liangzhou and started to adapt to training. After a few months of training, if there are no problems, the follow-up army will be able to come." Ma Teng said.

Ma Teng has been making progress recently, just to let the Roman Empire send troops over as soon as possible.

When Ma Teng saw that all of them were tall and powerful, Ma Teng was delighted to see them.

Such an army must be very strong in all aspects.

Ma Chao is also eager to try their strength.

However, these people are already very tired after walking so far, and now they need to rest.

Ma Chao will be patient, wait for them to recover for a few days, then adapt to training for a few days, and then have a good competition with them.

If the Roman Empire's army were all such powerful men, Ma Teng felt that their great cause could be successful.

At that time, hundreds of thousands of men from the Roman Empire will come to kill them, and they will be invincible.

Both Ma Teng and Ma Chao are looking forward to it.

The powerful Roman Empire helped them unify China, and they only had to pay a part of the price.

The price is actually very high. If it wins, the fallen empire will control two states in China and then conduct east-west trade.

But for Ma Teng and his son, there is no way to defeat Zhang Yu with their strength.

Now they have a chance.

More than 5000 Roman Empire warriors stayed, and their strength is expected.

Zhang Yu received the news soon.

After receiving the news, he also paid close attention to how much combat power the soldiers of the Roman Empire had after they arrived here.

He didn't know that even though he was very confident in winning this war, Zhang Yu couldn't help paying attention.

In the capital, Zhang Yu received the news that the advance army of the Roman Empire had arrived.

"It's time to sanction Ma Teng and continue to mislead them." After receiving the news, Zhang Yu planned to sanction Ma Teng and the others half a month later.

If sanctions are imposed immediately, this Ma Teng will definitely be terrified.

Because if Zhang Yu and the others had such high intelligence capabilities, they would react immediately after the Roman army arrived, and they must be extremely wary of them.

In fact, Ma Teng thought he was successful, because after marrying Ma Yunlu to Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu really did not attack them after defeating Cao Cao.

At that time, if they attacked them, Ma Teng would not be able to resist Zhang Yu at all.

As a result, Zhang Yu stopped fighting and even began to disarm.

The main battle army of 30 will be disarmed at one time, and then it will be disarmed year after year.

This made Ma Teng very happy, thinking his plan was a success.

He successfully paralyzed Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu let him do nothing in order to trade with Rome and make money.

Ma Teng has always been such an idea.

Little did they know that Zhang Yu kept him just to use him.

During the innovation process, many problems did arise, and some contradictions were relatively serious. It took Zhang Yu a lot of effort to promote the innovation.

Nowadays, the scale of innovation and experimentation has not increased yet, and the problems that may be exposed are not serious yet.

As we continue to innovate, there may be more problems, and in the end, when the scale increases, more problems may break out.

At this time, Zhang Yu can use external wars to resolve internal conflicts.

With the arrival of Western troops, Zhang Yu also began to plan a new round of innovation.

This time, he will take one step at a time and divide all the provinces at once.

Redividing the state has a very important role. Zhang Yu can collect taxes from some richer states and use them to build roads first, and can also take care of some less developed states.

Of course, this premise is to leave enough taxes for these developed states so that they can still develop rapidly.

Zhang Yu held a cabinet meeting.

"Now is a very favorable time to promote the new prefectures and counties in the entire Tang Dynasty. Where it has been completed, we will continue to divide the prefectures and counties into one level. Take advantage of this favorable opportunity to make a final decision and solve a lot of trouble in the future. .”

In wartime, when there are still powerful foreign enemies, there are different voices, and it is only natural for Zhang Yu to raise the butcher's knife.

In peacetime, it is not acceptable to raise the butcher's knife and massacre.

Zhang Yu took advantage of the threat of the enemy to sort out internal problems.
