Keeping the Hejian soldiers under the command of Yan Peng independent is one of the conditions for Yan Shenghao to surrender to Gao Yuan at the beginning of Hejian County, Gao Yuan did what he said, but this cannot but be said to be a hidden danger of the Eastern Army, Yan Shenghao wanted to let the Hejian County soldiers come to Hetao to make contributions to prove the value of Hejian County, Gao Yuan didn't say a word, even if Yan Peng was here, Gao Yuan was not unclear about the ability of the Hejian County soldiers, or Yan Shenghao and Yan Peng were very proud of their last troops, but obviously, They all overestimated the capabilities of this force. And Gao Yuan is very clear, but he doesn't want to say it, some people have to hit the south wall to know how to return, some things, said early, not only can not have the best effect, maybe there will be a counterproduct.

Fortunately, Yan Peng's provincial realization was premature, although this provincial realization was exchanged for the blood of countless soldiers. Let the soldiers of Hejian County voluntarily accept the reorganization, this is what Gao Yuan wants.

In addition, he may have gained more Luo Weiran and Chen Bin, two former Yan army generals, both of whom have a lot in common, both of them serve under Kumamoto, and both come from civilian families, if there is no accident, the two of them have come to this step, which is already the peak of their military career. A soldier who comes from a civilian country, for more than ten years, has stubbornly relied on his own ability to reach the position of general step by step, then there will never be a weakling.

In fact, the fact that the two of them were able to survive in Kumamoto's vanguard army in the end has already proved their worth, and in this battle with Yu Wenke, the two of them have demonstrated their abilities that are far higher than ordinary people.

Now the two of them are in the Eastern Army, they can be regarded as holding heavy troops, perhaps, in the standing army of Yan State, they can never imagine that they will have today's status, they may still have some nostalgia for the standing army of Yan State, but Gao Yuan believes that it will not be long. These two people will become the pillars of the Eastern Army.

Shangguan Hong walked in lightly, "Governor, Chen Ping is here." ”

Retracting his thoughts, Gao Yuan said, "Let him in." ”

Chen Ping was a little frightened, he didn't know what Gao Yuan was summoning alone, he was really a little apprehensive in his heart, Gao Yuan, he was naturally away from the Daimyo for a long time, and when he marched from Liaoxi, he had heard countless stories about him. Like him, he was born as a commoner, but at the same time, in just five years, this high governor has become famous all over the world. There is no man who doesn't want to dominate the world, in private, people like them. They all regard Gao Yuan as an idol in their hearts.

Luo Weiran had already left Pioneer City with Yan Peng and returned to his army, and after the two met, they didn't even talk in private, not that they couldn't. But unwillingly, the identities of both of them are a little embarrassing, and in such an army, they both have heavy troops. Any unusual behavior may be suspicious, and both of them are cautious people. If it weren't for the prudence of generals like them, they would not be where they are today.

Walking into the room, Gao Yuan was reading a report with his head down, Chen Ping did not bother, but carefully looked at the general Zhengdong in front of him who had always been heartbroken, compared to himself, Gao Yuan's young people were jealous, in his twenties, he already held several counties, controlled tens of thousands of male soldiers, stomped his feet, not to mention the whole world, Yan Guo was going to shake three times anyway. And he, who is already thirty-seven, has only mixed up with the position of a general, and finally shamefully became a prisoner, although it is not his own fault.

Thinking of this, he was a little sad, compared to many of his colleagues, he was already lucky, the mountains and rivers were full of doubts, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village, he thought that his military career had come to an end, but he didn't expect that there would be thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and the day when he launched a decisive charge towards the enemy.

My heart trembled slightly, looking at the young man who was still struggling to write, could it be that the turning point in his life would be realized in this person? He is also from a civilian background, and the generals he reuses, except for Yan Peng, are basically from poor families, like Sun Xiao, Xu Yuan, they are all in high positions in his system, and their skills are not worse than them.

Although Gao Yuan was writing in his hand, he kept his attention on Chen Bin's body, perceiving his gaze, his breathing, from rapid to steady, to rapid, and finally completely relaxed himself, Gao Yuan raised his head with a smile, "General Chen Ping!" ”

"Governor!" Chen gave a military salute, and Gao Yuan noticed that he performed a military salute unique to the Eastern Army, not a common etiquette in the standing army of Yan State.

"Sit down!" Pointing to a chair beside him, Gao Yuan smiled.

"In front of the governor, how can I have a seat!" Chen Ping shook his head.

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "The army is all Pao Ze brothers, and now it is not a Chinese military tent that marches and fights and gives orders, you may not know, Xu Yuan and they have always pulled chairs and sat here, and when they saw good things, they stuffed them into their arms, so they don't have to be restrained." ”

Chen Bin hesitated, strode to the chair, sat down steadily, put his hands on his knees, and straightened his upper body.

"Are you doing well in the Eastern Army?" Gao Yuan leaned back on the back of the chair, his fingers crossed, very relaxed and casual.

"Very good, if it weren't for Commander Xu sending troops to save us people from coming out, now I'm afraid that we are still under the whip of the Donghu people, cultivating fields for them, after arriving here, Commander Xu not only let us pick up arms again, but also treat us people and other departments of the Eastern Army equally, I can even command a combat force of 5,000 people, which I couldn't have imagined before."

Gao Yuan laughed, "Xu Yuan knows people well, and it is also because you have this ability that he will give you this opportunity, and in the same way, you have done a good job and lived up to his trust." ”

"Death to a confidant."

Gao Yuan nodded, "I came to you today, mainly to ask you about the situation of the Donghu army, and I am not afraid of your jokes, the world says that I am the nemesis of Donghu, saying that I fought with the Donghu people, won a hundred battles, and never lost a battle, this is actually nonsense, not to mention anything else, only last year's Eastern Crusade, I escaped from Donghu with my tail between my legs." Therefore, I am very interested in knowing the specific situation of the Donghu army, especially their palace guards. ”

Hearing Gao Yuan mention last year's war, Chen Bin's eyes showed a look of pain, but in an instant, it turned into a fierce one again, and the two expressions flashed in his eyes, but he still did not hide Gao Yuan's eyes.

He took a deep breath: "Go back to the governor." After entering the Donghukong District from Liaoxi, our vanguard army has always fought a tough battle, from the beginning of the vulnerable, slowly began to be evenly matched, and in the end, we finally fought a hard battle with their palace guards under Lin Cheng. ”

He looked up at Gao Yuan, "The palace guards are completely different from the other Donghu armies. ”

"To be more detailed, how is it different?"

"The number of palace guards is not large, and it will never exceed 30,000 horsemen. There were less than 10,000 horsemen who fought the last battle with us under the city of Helin. Chen Bin tilted his head, closed his eyes slightly, and kept flashing the bloody scene of the last battle in his mind: "Different from the general Donghu army fighting, the palace guard army fights, with strict combat formations and formation changes, rapid response, and rapid response, which are the only ones seen in the life of the last general." Our Yan army. There were not many cavalry, because in peacetime more attention was paid to the change of this formation, so as to rely on the strength of the team to fight the enemy, and the general Donghu army. They don't care about this, they rely more on superb equestrian skills and cavalry archery to attack and fight, such an army, it's okay to say that the wind fights. Once you fight against the wind, it doesn't last, of course. This is also determined by the characteristics of the nomads, but their palace guards have subverted this idea of ours, because their superb riding skills have made them more tolerant of changing formations, and many of the tactics that we have conceived in the Yan army before, because the cavalry cannot be completed, but in their hands, it is easy. Our vanguard army can be regarded as one of the most capable troops in the standing army, but in the end, under the city of Helin, we were still defeated by them, and that feeling was a little desperate."

"How many of you were left?" Takato asked.

"At that time, there were less than 10,000 men left in the vanguard army." Chen Bin said, but he then said: "But Dudu, speaking of which, the number of cavalry is about the same as ours, but when the infantry is in a close battle formation, the cavalry is not to be feared, because they are only terrible for the first round of impact, so we still have the belief that we will win, of course, the result is a heavy blow to us."

Gao Yuan's brows furrowed, Chen Bin is not a person who is afraid of death, it can be seen from his appearance in this battle, but he obviously has a fear of the palace guards in his heart.

"After this battle, have you thought about how to defeat this palace guard?" Takato asked.

Chen Bin's expression finally perked up a little, "Of course I want to, I dream of it, but there has been no good way, unless there is a cavalry with similar combat strength to them, until I arrived in the Eastern Army, I saw a glimmer of hope."

"Oh, do you think the Eastern Army is capable of fighting them?" Gao Yuan asked in surprise: "To be honest, I don't think that the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Army is much higher than that of the Standing Army?"

"The Eastern Army has a sharp weapon against cavalry!" Chen Bin Dao.

"You mean the crossbow."

"Yes, arm-open. Pair it with a longer spear. At present, most of the standard spears in the army are more than two meters long, which is okay to deal with the ordinary Donghu troops, but not to deal with the palace guards, at least four meters long."

"Four meters long?" Gao Yuan asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's four meters long, there's no need to use good materials, just put an iron spear head on top of a four-meter-long wooden pole. This allows you to equip a large number of foot soldiers. Shoot with a crossbow in your arms, strike as far as you can, and then engage the opponent in battle, and use this four-meter-long spear to stab and win."

"At what cost?"

"That depends." Chen Bin told the truth, "If our side is prepared, the casualties can be controlled at two to one, and a large number of casualties will only appear in a short period of time when the two sides come into contact, and then they will be under the control of our army, if our side is not well prepared, then there is no chance of victory."

Gao Yuan gasped, doesn't this mean that they have 30,000 palace guards, and they have to take 60,000 people to fill it.

"Since you think this is possible, I'll leave it up to you. Arm open crossbow, how much do you want, how much do you want, this spear you just talked about, it doesn't take much trouble, you can do it yourself if you think about it, how long do you need to train?"

"Three months to six months."

"Okay, let's take this as the deadline, I think that after half a year, we will meet each other's palace guards, and when the time comes, I hope you don't let me down." Gao Yuandao.

"Definitely not!" Chen Bin Huo Ran stood up.

Gao Yuan looked at the other party, and suddenly asked with a smile: "General Chen, if one day, you can return to the standing army of Yan Kingdom, will you go back?"

Chen Bin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Dudu, I am in the standing army, just a small general, leading less than a thousand soldiers, and I have to look at the faces of some people in everything, and I am often worried that I can't even keep this position, whenever some children of the family go down to the army to cross the gold, we are all terrified, but in the Eastern Army, I am now with an army of 5,000 people, and I have the opportunity to fight with the Donghu people, my road in the standing army has come to an end, but in the Eastern Army, my journey has just begun."

Gao Yuan laughed, clasped his palms and said: "This is a great word, do it well, the Eastern Army can let you get what you want, how high you can fly, I can give you as high the sky." (To be continued......)
