As an envoy of the imperial court, Wei Kang was only responsible for mediating the war in Liangzhou. He had other promises for the emerging power of Hu Ce Mansion. The position of captain was one of his promises to Zeng Yu. He wanted to invest.

How can an emerging power attract people's attention if it doesn't offer some practical benefits?

However, Zeng Yu would not give the favor of Captain to Wei Kang, but just pretended to be mysterious and told everyone that he had spent a lot of effort to apply for it from the court, and the award to Liuying was also based on his battle in Lian County.

If others can match Liu Ying's performance, he will also ask the court to give them rewards.

With the temptation of the post of captain, Zeng Yu's suggestion of building a legion was quickly agreed by everyone present. Even the dismissed military commanders Huang Dalang and Liu Xiaomao had no objections. The two Xianbei

They were just vassals of the Han army, and to be among them was a sign that Zeng Yu favored them both. The position of captain also tempted them.

"The total actual strength of our Hu Ce Mansion is about 80,000, 10,000 are transferred to garrison in Lian County, 60,000 are transferred to build the army, and the remaining 10,000 should be the best of the best. So when choosing soldiers, pay attention

All soldiers whose attributes reach physical strength 10 and bravery 6 will stay. The 10,000 selected

Elites, we will all train to become Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Only with enough Xiliang Iron Cavalry can we be called a powerful force in Xiliang." After confirming the matters regarding the garrison, Zeng Yu began to determine the direction of training soldiers.

A Xiliang cavalry force with an establishment of 10,000, this should be the most basic goal of Huce Mansion.

"Sir, what are you thinking about the infantry?" Fuhao felt a little anxious when she saw that Zeng Yu's topic did not turn to the infantry, so she spoke up.

The next topic will also talk about this matter. Now that Fu Hao has spoken out, Zeng Yu also started to talk about this issue: "Last time, many of you did not participate in the battle of Lian County. You can tell from the superficial battle report that only a small

Even a small county town lost three thousand cavalry. Having been in the situation, I still feel that

The memory is still fresh. It cannot be said that our cavalry is not elite enough. The cavalry that the Huns participated in the war are also junior arms. Why can we lose so many troops in a small county? Ultimately, our arms are too single. If at that time,

If there are infantry blocking the city gate, the situation may be different."

"Then my lord, do you mean to train infantry from the 60,000 construction corps?" Just now Zeng Yu proposed to select 10,000 elites to serve as Xiliang cavalry. It seems that the number of soldiers can only be trained from the construction corps, so Der Spiegel has this question.

"No, the infantry will be trained from the newly recruited soldiers. Our current 80,000 horses are basically cavalry. The training direction should still start from the direction of cavalry. After all, cavalry still has a great advantage in battle. The first batch

Infantry do not need to join the construction corps, but are recruited from the existing four groups: Golden Snake (spear), Black Bear (sword and shield), Silver Snake (bow and arrow), Black Panther (throwing spear), and the treatment is the same as that of the Xiliang currently in service.

Iron cavalry specializes in combat and does not need to engage in production."

Zeng Yu's statement made everyone more emotional than before. As we all know, the 3,000 Xiliang cavalry in Huce Mansion are like Zeng Yu's treasures. Not only are the horses the best choice, but the weapons, food and grass are also the best.

same

They are cavalry, and the treatment of other units is far inferior to that of the Black Tiger Cavalry. Zeng Yu's statement raised the status of the infantry, which was not valued in Hu Ce Mansion, to the same position as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, allowing other cavalry troops to wait.

,Dubo, how can you feel better?

"I object, no matter how elite the infantry are, they cannot be equal to the cavalry, right? Even if they have an irreplaceable position in the army, their status is suddenly raised to the level of Xiliang cavalry. What's more, the lord wants a large number of cavalry

Throwing them into the construction corps and having to work to cultivate land? How can other cavalry endure it?" Xie Guini, who grew up on the grassland since childhood, believed in the invincibility of cavalry and was extremely disdainful of infantry.

"I'm afraid it's a bit..." Even Fuhao, who advocates training infantry, is not optimistic about Zeng Yu's decision. The cavalry is the king of the cold weapon era, and the infantry is just a foil. They rashly elevate the status of the infantry.

For the cavalry who were originally going to be assigned to the Construction Corps, this might be difficult to accept.

Others also opposed this decision, and the crowd here was furious. The backlash this time was much higher than Zeng Yu's announcement of tens of thousands of cavalry to go farming. Even Wang Pu and Liu Tianming, who were in charge of the Black Bear Army and Silver Snake Army, also

They didn't dare to speak rashly, although they were eager for the upcoming treatment.

Zeng Yu also had a headache. His original intention was to train an elite infantry force that could face a cavalry infantry force. Unexpectedly, the backlash from everyone was so fierce.

"What an outrage! How can there be anything wrong in your lord's decision?" Zhang Dou'er, the chief officer of the Spear Throwers, was a little angry. Among the people present, his qualifications were second only to Liu Hu's. As soon as he expressed his stance, everyone also responded.

Calm down.

"Who said infantry is useless? In the first battle against a foreign enemy, it was us throwing spear soldiers to decide the outcome!!!" Zhang Dou'er stood up, walked to the center of the hall and opened his arms, revealing a mess of things.

He has more than a dozen scars. As an infantryman, he has never been able to fight in many battles. This opportunity is rare. If he doesn't fight for it, how can he be worthy of himself?

With Zhang Douer taking the lead, Wang Pu and Liu Tianming were not to be left alone, "Facing Ma Xiu's Xiliang cavalry, it was our infantry who worked hard to defend the city, and we were able to protect the city. The contribution of the infantry is not inferior to that of the cavalry."

!”

"Hmph! What do you mean?" Xie Guini opened his robe with disdain, revealing more scars. As a wolf of the prairie, he not only had to fight with people, but also had to compete with animals.

"Absurd! How are you behaved?" Zeng Yu shouted in time to stop this competition with bare breasts.

"It is undeniable that cavalry is the protagonist of this era, but infantry is also indispensable." It is time to draw a conclusion, otherwise this quarrel will continue. Zeng Yu said solemnly: "Why did the Xiliang Army, which relied on cavalry to dominate the world, suffer repeated defeats?

Where are the infantry in the Central Plains? Not to mention Dong Zhuo,

Just the two big guys in Liangzhou, Han Sui and Ma Chao, are also princes who have a large number of Xiliang cavalry. Why are they trapped in Liangzhou? The famous trap camp, Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers, these are infantry.

Our goal is also to train an infantry force that is not inferior to theirs."

"The men in Liangzhou are all tough! They are not only good candidates for cavalry, but also good candidates for infantry. Maybe people will say that we don't have blueprints and can't train a strong army. But tall buildings are rising from the ground.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry has strict requirements, and everyone has seen it, so lay the foundation now, and when you have the drawings later, you can naturally upgrade to a high-level unit."

"Of course, we will not invest too much at the beginning. The number of soldiers to be recruited will be fixed at 20,000, and then we will decide the future investment based on actual combat." Zeng Yu looked around the crowd, this was already a concession he had made.

Everyone who met his eyes could see the determination in his eyes. No one else had much courage to stop what Zeng Yu was determined to do, so everyone had to accept the decision. The decision was made, and as a foot soldier

Commanders Zhang Douer, Wang Pu, and Liu Tianming all had happy faces, as if the spring of infantry was coming.

After negotiating this matter, Zeng Yu did not forget to decide on the candidate for the Golden Snake Army's military commander. Jing Le, who originally commanded the Golden Snake Army, had been killed on the battlefield against the Ma family. Perhaps this position was not attractive before.

Since the expedition to Xianbei, infantry has disappeared from the expedition sequence. But now Zeng Yu has proposed to focus on the development of infantry, and this position has become a popular position.

There are only a few infantry commanders, and the Golden Snake Army commanders must be selected from among their cavalry commanders. At this time, even the several cavalry commanders who had objected just now were waiting eagerly. This treatment is equivalent to that of the Xiliang cavalry.

The army, can you imagine how many fierce battles it will encounter in the future? Will its achievements be worse?

To everyone's surprise, Zeng Yu placed this heavy responsibility on Zhang Dou'er at the same time, "He who can do the hard work! Besides, the types of spear-throwers and spear-throwers are not far apart. You should take on this heavy responsibility first, and later on

If there is a suitable candidate in the future, we will transfer it to you."

"My lord is so kind, Dou'er can only do his best to train the Golden Snake Army well!" Zhang Dou'er immediately left his seat to accept the order. To him, this showed Zeng Yu's trust in him.

After talking about military affairs, it’s time to talk about internal affairs. After eliminating the hostility of the Ma family and eliminating foreign troubles, developing internal affairs is the top priority. Military recruitment and other military affairs are also developed on the basis of internal affairs. In fact, the construction proposed by Zeng Yu

The legion also adjusts soldiers to farm and develop internal affairs.

Zeng Yu didn't know much about internal affairs, so he left it to Li Fengxiao, Ming Jing, and Tiansheng to discuss it.

They also talked about building water conservancy, building bridges and paving roads, and cultivating farmland. The most noteworthy one was the expansion of horse farms proposed by Tianshu, as well as the development of trade routes and the introduction of a large amount of external funds.

"Now that my lord and the court have reached an agreement, we should expand our trade routes and traffic our unique Liangzhou horses to the Central Plains. The price is more than ten times that of our local Liangzhou." Tianshu expressed his thoughts with great interest,

"Expand the racecourse and introduce various types of horses, such as famous horses such as Han Xue. As long as we expand the trade routes, we will not only make a lot of money, but also use the opportunity to spread our eyes into the Central Plains!"

"Lord, there is no need to worry. Matthew can see through what our caravan is doing. It's not that we don't hide, but that the current forces do this. Generally, caravans everywhere are tasked with spying." Tianshu glanced at Zeng.

The hesitation on Yu's face cleared up his doubts.

...It turned out to be that boy who was bluffing. After hearing what Tianshu said, Zeng Yu understood that every force in the News Network dealt with Chengji's affairs as a top priority. Even Wei Kang came to Chengji for one day and was able to deal with Chengji's affairs.

Knowing everything, it can be seen that this is not a shady matter on the table. It can be seen that Matthew is bluffing people. Fortunately, he was not bluffed by him. Instead, he was beaten severely and survived.
