After a moment of reminiscing, the relationship between husband and wife deepened.
However, Yan Liang did not indulge in his children's personal relationship. After enjoying himself for a while, he quickly focused on his great cause.
In the battle of Wancheng, thousands of enemies were captured, and with Wen Chou's surrender, Yan Liang suddenly had nearly 5,000 surrendered troops in his hands.
These five thousand surrendered troops are different from the new recruits he recruited in Xinye. These Hebei soldiers are all veterans who have been tested for a long time in war. Their combat effectiveness is actually not inferior to Yan Liang's direct soldiers and horses. However, due to the incompetence of the main general,
Only then was he reduced to a surrendered soldier.
Yan Liang then selected his elite, eliminated the weak and injured, and selected more than 3,000 young and strong elites to be incorporated into his army, while the rest were released so that they could use their mouths to promote Yan Liang's reputation.
At this point, the number of troops under Yan Liang's command has reached nearly 20,000.
In terms of infantry, Yan Liang has built an infantry of about 15,000 men, of which 5,000 are led by Gan Ning and stationed in Wancheng to guard against Yuan Shao in the north.
Chaoyang's Wenpin and Liu Pi's troops also had five thousand troops, which became a barrier to the south of Xinye, protecting Yan Liang from Liu Biao's threat.
There are five thousand troops stationed in the Xinye base camp. Yan Liang needs an absolutely loyal army. These five thousand infantry are his most elite direct troops. Most of the soldiers come from Hebei, and they are the core combat force that Yan Liang can trust.
As for the light cavalry of Shenxing Cavalry, due to the addition of Wen Chou's cavalry, the number soared to nearly 3,000.
Considering that Wen Chou was best at cavalry combat, Yan Liang took advantage of his strengths and ordered him to command the Shenxing Cavalry as an important mobile force.
As for Tiefu Tu, due to the newly captured hundreds of armors, Yan Liang was able to expand the heavy cavalry to about a thousand men.
Yan Liang originally wanted to expand more iron pagodas, but the heavy cavalry was a costly unit. With Yuan Shaozhi's strong strength, he only had about 2,000 heavy cavalry. If Yan Liang hadn't robbed a fortune from Xudu,
, with his current strength, he simply cannot afford to raise a thousand heavy cavalry.
And the powerful attack capability of this iron pagoda built with a thousand pounds of gold will be Yan Liang's most deadly weapon.
Such a sharp weapon, under the current situation, Yan Liang naturally wanted to keep it firmly in his hands, so he incorporated Tiefu Tu into his own military camp.
Yan Liang's pro-military camp was originally commanded by Zhou Cang and was called the Tiger Guard Camp. It mainly consisted of a thousand infantry. Most of these infantry came from the initial detachment when Yan Liang raised his army. Not only were they brave, but they were also 100% for him.
Share loyalty.
Zhou Cang is loyal and brave, and is very good at foot combat, so Yan Liang can certainly trust him to command the Huwei camp.
It's just that a new iron pagoda has been added to the pro-army, and Zhou Cang is not good at cavalry. If he is allowed to command the iron pagoda, he will not be able to bring out the maximum energy of this iron cavalry.
For Yan Liang, it became an urgent matter to find an excellent cavalry general to command Tiefutu.
After thinking about it, Yan Liang suddenly thought of a suitable candidate.
In the afternoon of that day, Yan Liang, escorted by Zhou Cang, took Jia Xu to Xinye Prison.
After entering the prison, Yan Liang came to the outside of a cell and looked in through the cell window, only to see the rough man like a bull gnawing on a leg of lamb like a wolf and a tiger.
The man with a beard that looks like a steel wire and slightly yellow hair is none other than Hu Che'er.
Hu Che'er's strength is beyond ordinary people. With this strange strength, his martial arts skills are enough to rival generals of Wenpin's level.
This man was originally Zhang Xiu's general and belonged to Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army. The Xiliang Army was most proud of its powerful cavalry. Although Hu Che'er's cavalry combat ability was not first-rate, looking at the troops under Yan Liang's command,
Except for Wen Chou, I am afraid no one can match him.
Light cavalry like the Shenxing Cavalry requires long-distance attacks or sophisticated tactics such as roundabout attacks, which naturally requires a high level of the commander's reaction ability in battle.
Iron Buddha Tu is different, there is no need for too many tricks, as long as you hear the order, just rush forward.
From this point of view, a barbarian general like Hu Che'er with extraordinary courage and heavy cavalry like Tiefu Tu were tailor-made for him.
Yan Liang took a fancy to this, so he planned to reuse this "freak" in front of him.
Seeing Hu Che'er's beast-like eating style, Jia Xu looked a little embarrassed and laughed at himself: "Our Xiliang folk customs are rough and we don't pay much attention to etiquette in everything, which makes the general laugh."
Yan Liang smiled and was not surprised. Instead, he felt that Hu Che'er's rude character was quite simple and cute.
Hu Che'er, who was gnawing in the cell, heard a sound outside the cell. He suddenly raised his head and saw a group of people watching him.
Hu Cheer was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes a few times, and suddenly recognized Yan Liang.
Then, when he saw Jia Xu chatting and laughing with Yan Liang, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Mr. Wenhe, why are you talking and laughing with that guy? What's going on?" Hu Che'er rushed to the cell window and shouted.
Jia Xu glared at him and shouted: "How dare you say something rude like a barbarian? Why don't you pay your respects to General Yan quickly?"
Hu Che'er was confused now, his eyes widened, and he was confused for a long time before he figured out what Jia Xu's words meant.
Jia Xu has surrendered to Yan Liang, and this poisonous man is here to persuade him to surrender.
"Mr. Wenhe, didn't you say you would take me to Jiangdong to join the Sun family? Why did you surrender to him again?"
Hu Che'er was also a conscientious person, so he revealed Jia Xu's original plan in front of everyone without even thinking about it.
Jia Xu suddenly showed his embarrassment and glared at Hu Che'er with anxious eyes. He blew his beard and shouted: "Why are you defecting to the Sun family? Where did you get such nonsense? General Yan is the master of the Ming Dynasty. It is your blessing to surrender to him.
See you soon."
When Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao last time, Cao Cao hated Hu Che'er for stealing the Dianwei Shuangji and indirectly killing his favorite general, so he wanted to punish him secretly.
After Jia Xu got a glimpse of Cao Cao's intentions, he secretly used a clever trick to protect Hu Che'er. From then on, Hu Che'er was grateful to Jia Xu and obeyed his orders. Therefore, it was the defeat of Guandu that made Hu Che'er
Protect Jia Xu and escape south.
Hu Che'er taught Jia Xu such a lesson. Although he was still confused in his heart, he just muttered a few words unhappily, bowed his head and bowed to Yan Liang.
"The last general, Hu Che'er, paid homage to General Yan. The last general is willing to sacrifice his life for the general, and hopes that the general will take him in."
Hu Che'er's words of "working hard" were so explicit and straightforward that Yan Liang couldn't help but laugh.
He then ordered the cell door to be opened, stretched out his hand to help Hu Che'er up, patted his shoulder and said: "What a straightforward man. I just like you as a barbarian. I will use you as my personal army commander."
, are you willing?"
As soon as these words came out, Hu Che'er couldn't help but be shocked. He never expected that Yan Liang would use him as a subordinated general in such an important manner.
Surprised, Hu'er couldn't help but express gratitude, and said with emotion: "Thank you general for the compliment. Che'er has no ability, but only brute strength. If the general uses me as a personal soldier, I will protect him even if I die."
"
Hu Che'er has a straightforward personality, and whatever is on his mind is written on his face.
When he said these words, Yan Liang kept observing his eyes. From the sincere eyes, Yan Liang was sure that what he said was from the bottom of his heart.
Yan Liang was naturally delighted when he heard this, and immediately ordered Hu Che'er to be released from prison.
In order to show his honor and favor for Hu Che'er, Yan Liang gave him a set of armor that he had worn, and ordered the Huwei camp and Tiefutu to gather in the school grounds. In this grand way, he announced Hu Che'er's death to the generals.
Attachment.
When we arrived at the school grounds, thousands of pro-army soldiers had already assembled.
"Hu Che'er, I will make you a military commander today and serve as the commander of Tiefu Tu. As the deputy general of the pro-military camp, you must cooperate with Zhou Cang in the future, you know."
When Hu Che'er heard that Yan Liang had asked him to serve as the second general of the pro-military camp, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. When he was waiting to thank him, he suddenly heard that he was actually going to be Zhou Cang's general.
Hu Che'er's originally joyful expression darkened, and he pointed at Zhou Cang and said, "I can do whatever the general asks me to do, but I just don't want to be this guy's deputy general."
Zhou Cang on the side suddenly frowned.
Yan Liang was also surprised and asked curiously: "Why don't you want to be his deputy general?"
"Because the general will not accept this guy." Hu Che'er flattened his mouth and snorted coldly.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Cang couldn't help but flew into a rage and said angrily: "You barbarian, how dare you underestimate me!" Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work.
