Chapter 10 The Five Colonels of the Northern Army
Yao Jie didn't expect Emperor Han Ling to give him a five-grade miscellaneous general, which was far beyond his expectations, you must know that this is a general who can command tens of thousands of people, and Emperor Han Ling directly gave him Heifeng, which saved him a lot of trouble, just now he was still thinking about how to get Heifeng over.
The remaining five hundred elites made him ecstatic, if he went to Youzhou alone, it would be very troublesome to develop, but with these five hundred elite soldiers, it would be different, at this time, Emperor Han Ling had not set up any Xiyuan Eighth Captain, and it was the Fifth Captain of the Northern Army who guarded Luoyang, and it was also very effective in combat, but the Fifth Captain of the Northern Army had basically been controlled by the Yuan Family, and Yuan's ambition was definitely not small, and the Eighth Captain of the West Garden was used to counter the Yuan Clan, but unfortunately it was cheaper in the end.
In Chinese history, at the end of the dynasty, the army's combat effectiveness was still very strong, only the Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang dynasties, the Qin Dynasty did not have elite troops to participate in the war until its demise, the Han Dynasty army was much weaker than the other three dynasties, but it was also very strong combat effectiveness, the Sui Dynasty was still fighting in the south and north a few years before its demise, and the army was very strong, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, although the Anshi Rebellion turned from prosperity to decline, and the end of the Tang Dynasty was a warlord clan and town separation, and they fought each other.
Although the army at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was no longer a strong army, it was also the combat effectiveness of the regular army, especially the army stationed on the border.
After saying that, Emperor Han Ling left, and Zhang Rang stayed to take Yao Jie to the military camp of the Luoyang defenders to select soldiers.
Most of the generals of this era are self-respecting, if Yao Jie is allowed to select soldiers alone with the dictation of Emperor Han Ling, I am afraid that the last person he will receive is five hundred old, weak, sick and disabled.
Zhang Rang naturally understood this truth, Yao Jie was an important chess piece under his hands, and he couldn't be sloppy, so he decided to take Yao Jie to it in person, and at this time, the prestige of the Ten Standing Servants was reflected, and the commander of the Fifth School of the Northern Army did not dare to offend the Ten Standing Servants, so he almost responded to Yao Jie's request.
Yao Jie was also unceremonious, and directly selected five hundred elite cavalry from the Luoyang defenders, although the commander of the Luoyang defenders looked painful, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to put on a smiling face to send Yao Jie and the others away.
On the other side, Yao Jie took five hundred cavalry to find an open space around and set up camp, and all the tools were naturally obtained from the defenders of Luoyang.
After settling the five hundred cavalry, Yao Jie followed Zhang Rang to the treasury, although Zhang Rang could not transfer a large number of materials from the treasury, but occasionally went to get a few treasures, Emperor Han Ling would not care.
After entering the treasury, Yao Jie did not be polite to Zhang Rang, and directly chose a five-stone strong bow, a set of black and red armor that looked exquisitely made and very strong.
Just as Yao Jie was about to leave, a long sword caught his attention, Yao Jie hurriedly walked over, only to see the word Qingyu written on the sword, Yao Jie's heart was flooded, he had heard of the name of this sword.
In history, this sword and Yitian Sword were both Cao Cao's swords, sharpened like clay, extremely sharp, and was later taken away by Zhao Yun in Changban Slope.
Yao Jie didn't think about it, so he picked up the sword and walked out.
The armor he picked before was named Tiger Head Xuansha Armor by Yao Jie, and it will be referred to as Xuansha Armor in the future.
Yao Jie walked out of the treasury wearing Xuansha armor, Zhang Rang waited outside the treasury, and saw that Yao Jie took three things and didn't say anything, so he left with Yao Jie.
Originally, Emperor Han Ling was going to reward Yao Jie with a set of armor, so strictly speaking, Yao Jie only took two things.
After returning to the camp, Yao Jie gathered all the soldiers, and Emperor Ling of Han gave Yao Jie ten days to subdue them.
Yao Jie stood on the high platform, looking at the neatly arranged five hundred people under the stage, and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, this was the first military force under his command.
"Everyone, from now on, this general will be your general, this general knows that you are not convinced, you are all elite people, I think I sat in this position by virtue of relationships, now I give you a chance, those who are not convinced can come to challenge me, whoever can defeat me, I will leave immediately." The army admires the strong, and the best way to subdue these people is to subdue.
"Can you promise you won't get into trouble with us in the future?" A strong man stepped forward and said.
Yao Jie was overjoyed in his heart, but he was afraid that no one would stand up, "Of course, I, Yao Jie, swear to the Emperor of Heaven that if I use this as an excuse to trouble you in the future, it is better than death and no place to be buried." ”
"Okay, in that case, I'll come first, if you can win me, I'll listen to you later." After the strong man finished speaking, he came to the high platform and said, "Is it with a weapon or empty-handed?" ”
Yao Jie said: "Feel free." ”
The strong man nodded, and directly punched Yao Jie, Yao Ming's hand directly caught the strong man's fist, although this strong man has great strength, but compared to the high pet who can jump iron pulley, it is undoubtedly a small thing.
The strong man was not discouraged after being caught in his fist, and the other hand was also swung with a punch, who knew that Yao Jie was faster, and directly pulled the strong man over, and at the same time tripped with one foot, and the strong man directly fell into the mud.
After falling, the strong man did not admit defeat, stood up and continued to rush towards Yao Jie, but after being ravaged by Yao Jie lightly, he lay on the ground with a blue nose and swollen face and shouted: "I am convinced." Soon someone pulled the strong man up for treatment.
The people in the audience looked frightened, the strong man on the stage was called Luo Hu, he had always been a thorn in the barracks, he had injured several officials one after another, everyone was afraid of him, but now he was repaired so badly, for a while, everyone looked at Yao Jie with admiration.
After a long while, Yao Jie saw that no one came up, so he said: "No one came up, then I will default to all of you convinced, even if this is the case, you will have to obey the orders of the general in the future, the military orders in the barracks are like a mountain, and the general will let you advance, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, you can't retreat, do you hear clearly?" ”
"Hear me."
"Louder, I didn't hear it."
"Hear me clearly!" This time, his voice was obviously much more powerful, and Yao Jie nodded with satisfaction, "There is one more thing below, all of you have been carefully selected by the general, and you are all the elite of the five schools of the Northern Army." ”
People always have vanity, no one will not like others to praise themselves, sure enough, Yao Jie just finished speaking, the soldiers below showed a smile, and in an instant, the barracks became noisy.
Yao Jie looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help frowning, this discipline must be grasped, what is the difference between the army and the feudal army in the new era.
