Chapter Eleven, Gathering Subordinates
After Ning Yue received the order from the Bingma Temple, many newcomers and old people from the Cloud Leopard Cavalry couldn't help but sigh.
A few days later, the three thousand Cloud Leopard Cavalry veterans who were originally handed over from the Bingma Temple to Ning Yue, but no one chose to disobey and stayed. They all left with the inner officials who announced the imperial edict.
Later, according to the news obtained by Nan Sheng, in order to transfer the Yunbao Cavalry, the Bingma Temple had sent several elite guards to defend the Ganzhou border. It seemed that once Ning Yue was unwilling to hand over the military power, it was possible that these people would do the decree again.
Logically speaking, the actions of the Bingma Temple are understandable, but it would be too much to transfer all the veterans of the Cloud Leopard Cavalry.
However, at the end of this matter, Ning Yue did not pursue it. He prepared early, and his confidants were busy. The Xia army withdrew, and the troops originally hidden in Ning Yue were reintegrated.
Ning Yue's first batch of elite soldiers were from the eight sect disciples who joined after the expansion of the Yunbao Cavalry. These disciples were all condensed in the void and had a size of nearly 10,000 people. After experiencing the battles of the Ganguo, although they were not as good as the elite of the Yunbao Cavalry veterans who went back to the Bingma Temple, their combat power was almost the same. The most important thing was that they had absolute loyalty to Ning Yue.
The second wave of elite troops came from the Four Great Thieves Mountains. Yi Huanhuan and Yi Tianfei still did not follow Ning Yue all the time. The two helped Ning Yue steadily develop the logistics territory and contributed thousands of elite troops, both of whom were good at horse warfare and position warfare.
The third wave was the 20,000 elite troops originally had the Xia army's logistics. After the army was trapped in Wuzhongling, they were directly captured by Ning Yue. When the army was evacuated, Ning Yue asked Emperor Yan Long for these soldiers. Seeing that it was not the soldiers directly under the Bingma Temple, Emperor Yan Long stayed with a wave of his hand.
This group of soldiers also experienced repeated battles with the army. Although their combat power was not strong, their logistics had already cooperated quite well with Ma Bodang.
The fourth wave of soldiers was completely recruited by Ning Yue in Ganguo. After the training of Luo Yanshi and others, there are now nearly 100,000 people. Although many people were sent to the Four Thieves Mountains, 70,000 to 80,000 people were left behind. Ning Yue and a group of confidants carefully distributed, and finally continued to allocate important places to guard Ganguo, becoming the flesh and blood of Ning Yue's self-built forces.
But at this moment, the Bingma Temple came again, saying that enough troops were collected from various parts of the Xia State and were heading towards Ganzhou, and ordered Ning Yue to respond and make good arrangements.
Luo Yanshi and others heard the news together in Ning Yue's military tent, and the faces of the group could not help but show a sense of disdain.
Luo Yanshi is a famous big mouth of Ning Yue. As soon as he heard the message, he couldn't help but curse: "This Bingma Temple really treats us as soft persimmons. He wants to leave the Cloud Leopard Cavalry and sends a batch of soldiers and horses casually. Isn't this a scheming that we will become the commander without the Cloud Leopard Cavalry. It's really hateful!"
However, Luo Yanshi was the only one in the entire military tent and cursed a few times. The rest of them looked faint. They now have 100,000 soldiers to fight, far more powerful than most princes. With such a foundation, everyone trusts Ning Yue more.
For them, the troops sent by the Bingma Temple were all jumping clowns, and what they need to see now is how Ning Yue is preparing to deal with it.
Ning Yue didn't speak, and first set his eyes on Nan Sheng.
Seeing this, Nan Sheng coughed lightly, put the secret letters he was still tidying up in his hand, and then looked at everyone.
"After I received this news, I had contacted spies everywhere, and finally got some news from Nanhuangshan Military Town and Qilin City. This time, the troops sent to our Ganzhou should have more than 20,000."
When Ma Bodang heard this, he couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and immediately asked, "How are these soldiers? How many people can there be available?"
Nan Sheng looked at Ma Bodang, smiled faintly, and said, "Reward the spies, this time the Bingma Temple has arranged a large number of soldiers and horses to our Ganzhou, but most of them are veterans from the border."
Luo Yanshi immediately raised his eyebrows and looked sarcastic: "No wonder, I was thinking about what kind of people they would send. If they were 20,000 elite soldiers, the Bingma Temple would naturally not be willing to do so. Even new recruits are the same. Sending them is equivalent to giving them to us for free for training and self-use."
Luo Yanshi paused tone and said disdainfully: "But if the 20,000 people they sent were veterans of border guards, there were old, weak, sick and disabled people who had been paid for military salaries all year round, and it would take no time to reorganize them. However, these people were all soldiers who were sluts all day long and were the least disobedient to discipline. If they were sent to us, they were just to cause trouble for us."
Yu Ershiba was in the tent all the time. When he heard this, he found that many people's eyes were on him.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, spread his hands at the people in the military tent, and said, "I don't know if my father knows this. Although he is in charge of the Yunbao Cavalry, he cannot disobey some of the above decrees. He has no right to participate in the matter of dispatching troops across the country."
Seeing Yu Ershiba's embarrassment, Ning Yue couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "It's not certain who wants to deal with us. I think it has nothing to do with Captain Yu. Senior Brother Li came to report that the military supplies on the Nanhuangshan side were all properly supplied and were not affected."
The eyes of the crowd fell back to Ning Yue again. Bai Luoluo, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but ask: "Brother, now the Bingma Temple is ordering us to send people to pick up these soldiers. Will we go or not? How should we deal with them after we bring these soldiers and spies?"
Ning Yue's eyes swept over everyone, suddenly laughed, and said, "Since they sent people here, we will then, if there are any ones that can be used, we will be included in the recruits for training. Those who do not obey discipline will be directly controlled for military regulations. Since they have been in our hands, this is the case."
Luo Yaoji pondered and said, "But this is someone sent from the Bingma Temple after all..."
Ning Yue interrupted Luo Yaoji with a smile and said a little tough, "Actually, everyone's hearts are like a mirror. This Ganzhou is the foundation of us now, and we must be in our hands. No matter who is fighting for the benefits of Ganzhou, it is our enemy!"
With the tone set by Ning Yue, Luo Yanshi and others were much more relaxed. Everyone discussed it. Luo Yaoji came forward to hand over the 20,000 soldiers and directly scattered them all over the Ganzhou, and Ning Yue's all-confidence team took over.
