Chapter 31: The Broken Army

Mu Yi fought from Chencang to Tianshui County, and a lot of various materials were seized, among which there was no shortage of gold and silver. It's just that most of them were used to buy winter clothes and bedding for the soldiers, and there are not many left.

In Mu Yi's opinion, money is used to spend, and it can be earned again if there is no more. But if you are in prison, what will these people do? Instead of taking money to atone for their sins in the end, it is better to give them now, let them say a few good words, and maybe they can be promoted to an official position.

Therefore, Mu Yi invited the eunuchs who were inspecting to his Chinese army tent as soon as possible.

Mu Yi didn't bother to talk to the eunuch in front of him, and directly sent all the people around him away, and said straight to the point: "My lord has worked hard from afar, and General Ben has already asked people to prepare a banquet for the lord to catch the wind and wash the dust." It just so happened that a few days ago, after a few victories, some souvenirs were seized, and when the adults went back, they bothered to bring some to the emperor. ”

When the eunuch heard this, his tense face suddenly showed a smile, and he took out the edict from a wooden box, and without even reading it, he stuffed it directly into Mu Yi's hand.

After studying hard, Mu Yi has now known a lot of words, and he basically recognizes the words on the edict.

From the beginning to the end, Mu Yi appeared extremely calm on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent.

Guan Neihou, set up a cavalry, called the 'Broken Army', and all official appointments and dismissals are decided by themselves, it seems that this time he really made a wise choice. If he hadn't promised to give the other party money just now, then this edict would definitely not have been taken out.

"Congratulations to General Mu for being the marquis......" The eunuch's voice was a little itchy when he heard Mu Yi's teeth.

After settling the eunuch and the accompanying Praetorian Guards, Mu Yi gathered all the generals under his command to the Chinese army's big tent.

When everyone came, Mu Yi took out the edict and handed it to everyone to watch, and some people who didn't know how to read also knew what was written after inquiry.

"Congratulations to the Lord for his ......"

Everyone congratulated Mu Yi in unison, although the Marquis of Guan Nei was just a fictitious title, but from now on, Mu Yi was also a person with a title.

However, what Guo Jia and Jia Xu care about is not the title of the marquis, but the broken army behind.

Having a descendant army is a real military power! Moreover, the edict did not say exactly how many people would be formed, which could be 2,000 or 10,000. If you have absolute financial resources and war horses, no one will say anything even if it is twenty or thirty thousand.

Jia Xu pondered for a moment, and then took the lead in asking, "How many troops does the lord plan to build?"

Mu Yi smiled slightly: "The number of people is too small to play the role of a surprise soldier, and if there are too many people, I am afraid that it will arouse the emperor's suspicion, so this number can only be set at 10,000 at most."

Jia Xu nodded with satisfaction after listening, what he was most afraid of was that Mu Yi would expand the army too much on the spur of the moment, so I am afraid that he would commit the emperor's taboo, not to mention being promoted and making a fortune at that time, maybe even his life would be gone.

"Zilong listens to orders!"

"Humble duty!"

"Order you to select 10,000 people from among the officers and soldiers to form a cavalry that is good at cavalry and archery, and this general appoints you as a deputy general, and this cavalry will be under your command in peacetime!"

"Whoa!"

Zhao Yun didn't want to mention how excited he was, after following Mu Yi for a few months, he has now become a deputy general, if Mu Yi is not promoted, I am afraid that he will have to struggle for at least ten years to have his current position.

"Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Hu Che'er, and Pang De obey orders!"

"Humble duty!"

"This general has appointed you and others to the post of captain, each of whom commands two thousand five hundred people, and the generals at all levels under his command are promoted by you! Later, General Ben will customize a training plan, and in the future, the 'Broken Army' will train according to the plan customized by General Ben. ”

"Whoa!"

After finishing speaking, Mu Yi looked at Jia Xu with a smile on his face and said, "The position of Sima of this army will be held by Mr. Wenhe!"

"Whoa!"

None of the people present were not excited, and they were able to be promoted, and if anyone was unwilling, it was estimated that there must be some problems with their heads.

"That's it! Let's all go down and get ready!"

"Whoa!"

When everyone left the Chinese army tent one after another, Mu Yi looked at Guo Jia on the side: "Second brother won't blame Brother Wei for not appointing you to the official position, right?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Whatever the eldest brother said, even if the eldest brother accepts his fate, he will not hold any position in the army." The first is because of the young age. Second, the eldest brother is exactly the time when he needs to show grace to everyone, and if he talks about family affection at this time, others will definitely be unconvinced. ”

Mu Yi smiled and nodded, talking to smart people is to save trouble, and there is no need to explain them to him one by one.

"Since you want to form cavalry, you must build your team into an invincible iron army. If the same cavalry meets, in addition to personal bravery, the fight is equipment, and whoever has good equipment will take advantage, so there is a very important task to be handed over to the second brother, remember that you must not leak any news!"

Seeing that Mu Yi said so solemnly, Guo Jia's face became solemn: "What kind of task is it?"

Mu Yi took a pen and paper and drew a few strange things.

"This thing is called a horseshoe, which can prevent the horse's hooves from wearing, and even if you step on a knife or gun left on the battlefield, it will not damage the horse's hooves. This is called a horse pedal, this is called a saddle, and the two are used together, so that when a soldier rides a horse, his feet will not easily fall off the horse......

Mu Yi's very casual words fell on Guo Jia's ears, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the whole person's heart was raised in his throat.

What kind of person is Guo Jia? As soon as Mu Yi explained to him, he immediately understood the importance of these things.

After turning his head to look around, and after making sure that there was no one, Guo Jia carefully put away the paper on the table and put it in his arms, and the fluttering rice paper seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds in his arms.

"Big brother, rest assured, I promise to equip all the war horses with these things before the spring of next year, and no one will reveal the news."

Due to the composition of the captive army, the officers and soldiers did not attack the city, but selected soldiers for training after heavy selection.

The eunuch who passed the edict couldn't stand the suffering of the military camp at all, and only stayed for two days before driving a dozen carts back to Luoyang. The cart was filled with wooden boxes, and forty boxes of wealth were thus turned into other people's belongings.

Due to the cold weather, Mu Yi was even more busy training cavalry, so there was no siege for the time being, and the two sides stopped and spent a peaceful New Year.

But the two armies are facing each other, even if it is the New Year, there is no joy at all.

Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers. After the New Year, the weather warmed up day by day, and as the weather warmed up, the scouts in the armies of both sides became much more frequent, and sometimes even the scouts of both sides would meet together and engage in large and small battles.
