Huang Zhong led 8,000 soldiers and horses to garrison in the north of Mayi and connect with Zhongling County. The open area there was suitable for training cavalry.

Xu Huang's subordinate Sima Liu Pi led a thousand infantry to defend the iron city, guarding weapons and food.

Xu Huang's subordinates also assigned a Sima to lead a thousand troops to guard the horse farm.

Because many of the horsemen in the horse farm are captured Xianbei people, they must be guarded at all times.

If the Xianbei captives stayed honestly, they would have eaten and drunk, and if they dared to escape on horseback, the spears and bows and arrows in the hands of the Han army were not vegetarian.

Many of the Xianbei captives have already accepted their fate, and in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, there are no weapons, bows and arrows, even if they are lucky enough to escape on horseback, it is useless. They have seen the strength of the Han cavalry, and they will definitely die if they are caught up.

Stay here honestly, at least don't worry about food and clothing.

"Right Army Division, Zilong has worked hard. Will the trip go smoothly? As soon as they met, Liu Fan immediately asked the two.

"Helian has promised to form an alliance with our army. If we send the gold, silver and jewelry to Shan Yuting, we will not be able to hide it from other Xianbei tribes. It won't be long before Helian will send people to Yanmen to form an alliance with us, which can't hide from the other tribes of Xianbei, which has made the tribes suspicious. When the alliance is completed, our cavalry will generate combat power, and the strategy can be implemented. Straight to break the single in the court, so that Xianbei is torn apart. After occupying the Hetao, he immediately turned around and broke the Southern Xiongnu in Nanshuo and Shangjun of the Hetao, expelled the Southern Xiongnu from the grassland, and drove them out of the Yellow River Valley in the west. So far, with the Hetao and Yanmen as each other's horns, they have broken Xianbei one by one. Establish comparable to the exploits of Weihuo. ”

Jia Xu replied to Liu Fan and formulated a strategy for Liu Fan.

His words reminded Liu Fan that he must wait for the strength to be sufficient before launching a strategy. In one fell swoop, he laid the hegemony of the steppe.

After defeating Shan Yuting, it will definitely attract the revenge of Xianbei from all departments, and it is necessary to resist Xianbei's offensive.

The Southern Xiongnu tribes also have a lot of troops, and they must have the strength to break them in one fell swoop, otherwise they will be attacked on their backs.

The Southern Xiongnu would not tolerate the Han Chinese dominating the steppe again.

"If what the right military division says can be fulfilled, it must be a groundbreaking achievement." Liu Fan stroked his palms and praised.

Huang Zhong formed an army of 8,000 cavalry. Shentu steel armor and weapon refining. It's time to put the plan into action.

Even with stirrups and saddles. It also takes a year and a half to train in mounted archery.

During this period, he had to make every effort to govern Yanmen County and prepare for the next big war.

"Zilong, I sent you as Huang Zhong's lieutenant general to assist Huang Zhong in training cavalry archery. I hope that Zilong will also lead thousands of troops and horses in the future and gallop the world. Liu Fan said to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun, like Zhang Liao, Liu Fan has high expectations. They just don't have enough military merit, not lack of ability. Learn and sharpen it, and you will definitely be able to become a great tool.

For the general, he must be careful. Be careful, think twice before acting, plan and then act, be able to judge the situation, benefit others and yourself, and do things with half the effort.

For the wise, he will be peaceful. Qi harmony is great wisdom, with a tolerant heart to do things, external softness and internal forbearance, when making suggestions, the mind will be clearer. Speakers such as Xun Yu and Jia Xu.

"Zhao Yunding will live up to the expectations of the hussar general." Zhao Yun immediately bowed.

Zhao Yun is good at riding and shooting, and the commander is good at riding and shooting, which couldn't be better.

……

The next day, Shen Tugang led 500 blacksmiths to Mayi and settled in Tiecheng.

Liu Yu also followed suit and served as the commander of Ma Yi.

A month has passed, and it is the middle of March.

Under the restraint of Helian, the central Xianbei tribes really did not come to invade the Yanmen border. The experience of Tuoba Xianbei's demise made the Xianbei tribes extremely afraid of Liu Fan.

Xianbei was unable to form a coalition and did not dare to try south.

Zhang Jun was extremely strict in breaking the law, and he made a big move to rectify the officials of Yanmen County. Nearly one-third of the officials were dismissed. The situation of Yanmen, ten sheep and nine herds is no longer there. He appointed the Cao Shi people from the Hussar General's Mansion to hold important positions in each county.

The corporal of the Hussar General's Mansion admired Liu Fan and the policies and decrees promulgated by Liu Fan.

When Liu Fan was demoted, he did not abandon and came with him. If nothing else, this quality should also be reused.

Cai Yong is very concerned about people's livelihood, personally probing the people in various counties and localities, and prescribing the right medicine. He is in the process of promulgating the Tuntian Decree, which continues to impact the interests of the family.

In this battle to destroy Tuoba Xianbei, many soldiers have made meritorious contributions.

Liu Fan promised all the reward money before the war, but because it was an ambush operation, the number of enemies killed was not counted at all. Crossbowmen have too much advantage in killing, and that is not fair.

Liu Fan took out a total of 10 million dollars to reward the whole army. The officers and men of the whole army received from 10,000 to 100 yuan, after all, many soldiers did not fight at all, and it was good to get more than 100 yuan.

Nearly 1,000 soldiers were disabled or killed in this battle, and Liu Fan took out a lot of gold and silver money to support his family.

After the war, if you can't convince the people and make the people disgusted, that is, you will be reckless and reckless.

This month, Liu Fan has been staying in Mayi. He basically did not manage government affairs, Cai Yong sent people to urge him many times, and Liu Fan did not return to the Yin Pavilion.

Liu Fan, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Liu Jiang have been calculating one thing in the past month.

Reform the army!

It will make it more convenient for the commander-in-chief to transfer troops and generals, and more neatly arrange troops, so that the army will be more cohesive and morale will be higher.

Liu Jiang and a group of assistant officials have a record of the military exploits of all the soldiers from the beginning of Liu Fan in Jiangyi to the present.

After nearly a month of discussions, Liu Fan broke the military system again.

There are no longer any chiefs, hundreds of generals, etc.

The reorganized army has six levels: corps, department, qu, team, tun, and corps.

originally wanted to set up a battalion under the army, but Liu Fan thought that he had no right to be named a captain, so he could only give up.

Ten people are a team, and there is a team leader.

Five units are a tun, with a tun chief, a total of 50 people.

The two tuns are a team, with a total of 100 people.

The two teams are a song, with a military marquis, a total of 200 people.

The five teams are one part, with Sima, a total of 1,000 people.

The number of units commanded by an army is uncertain.

Now the hussars have been clearly divided into three armies, Guan Yu commands one army, Huang Zhong commands one army, and Xu Huang commands one army.

And Liu Fan went on to promulgate the military rank system.

Fourth-class eighteenth-level military merit leaf. Gold, silver, copper, iron.

Each class, each level represents a variety of different feats.

Each level and level represents a different amount of money added each month.

Each grade, each level represents a different treatment of the family.

Each rank, each level, represents a different status in the army.

On the battlefield, if the commander is killed, the one with the highest rank will take his place. The leader of every army and every song is killed, and the one with the highest rank is replaced.

This kind of military merit leaf can only be obtained by meritorious service. For example, Dian Wei came to join the army, even if Liu Fanai named him Sima, he didn't have a single iron leaf.

Shameful and courageous, Liu Fan let the soldiers take this as honor. Only by killing the enemy on the battlefield and making meritorious contributions can you hang a few more iron leaves on your chest, and even replace the iron leaves on your chest with copper, silver, and gold leaves.

Everyone is eager to return to their hometown, and everyone wants to glorify their ancestors.

What kind of scenery is it to walk with your head held high in the market and be envied by thousands of people?

As soon as this order came out, the three armies were shaken.

Those who have not obtained the iron leaf want to hang an iron leaf, and those who have an iron leaf want to hang more and better military achievements, like a general.

The whole army worked hard and trained desperately. They are eager to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and they are eager to live on the battlefield and come back with glory.

If they encounter a battle, they will definitely rush forward with red eyes and exert their extreme combat power.

Death is like going home, so why fear!

From this moment on, the northern hus are all fish and meat.
