After recruiting enough soldiers and horses, Liu Feng summoned Wei Yan, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, wanting to enrich the 50,000 soldiers and horses into the Feiyu Guard, cavalry and defenders according to their own conditions.

As the most elite personal soldier under Liu Feng's command, Wei Yan originally thought that Liu Feng would definitely let himself be the first to choose, as early as the beginning of the conscription, Liu Feng talked to Wei Yan that with the development of the army under his command, Wei Yan was allowed to expand the scale of Feiyuwei to three to five thousand, and had already begun to form a craftsman battalion in Chengdu, giving priority to preparing weapons and armor for Feiyuwei.

But when the three of them arrived at the school field, Liu Feng waved his hand and asked Ma Chao to choose three thousand suitable sergeants as elite cavalry, watching Ma Chao take several of his own soldiers to select soldiers with excitement on his face, Wei Yan was very puzzled, and immediately went to Liu Cover and asked: "Why doesn't the lord let me wait to choose the right Flying Feather Guardian first?" Fei Yuwei is the lord's own soldier, once there is a mistake, it will be like the lord's life, how can he let General Meng Qi choose first? ”

When Liu Feng heard this, he just smiled helplessly, he knew in his heart that Wei Yan would have this idea, since the formation of the Flying Feather Guard, although the number is very scarce, but because it is not good for Liu Feng at all times, and the armor and weapons are the best, the selection of the Flying Feather Guard is also very strict, this kind of treatment can't help but make Wei Yan and Li Chuang, and even the soldiers of the Flying Feather Guard feel a little superior.

But before Liu Feng had just stood on his own, coupled with frequent actions, so he did not take this matter to heart, this time he won Yizhou, and there was no invasion of foreign enemies, finally so that Liu Feng could calm down and think about many matters, and the hidden danger of Fei Yu Wei soon appeared in Liu Feng's mind, so this time the selection of soldiers, in fact, Liu Feng did it intentionally, and the person who did it naturally wanted to completely erase the feeling of superiority in Fei Yu Wei from their thoughts.

"Wen Chang thinks that the Flying Feather Guard is the most proficient in all kinds of formations, and the equipment is also the most sophisticated, and it is the safety of me, the lord, who is blessed, so it is actually the most important one in our army? Compared with the Yizhou Iron Cavalry that General Meng Qi wanted to form, the garrison troops led by General Han Sheng, and the elite soldiers left behind in Jingzhou should be valued and treated preferentially? ”

When Liu Feng asked like this, Wei Yan had a hint of bad feeling in his heart, but in front of Liu Cover, he must also tell the truth, so he could only reply stubbornly: "Yan really thinks that Fei Yuwei has the responsibility of protecting the lord, so it should be more important in comparison......

Wei Yan said in the end, he already felt a little lacking in confidence, and when he looked up at Liu Feng again, Liu Feng looked into the distance with his eyes, and said slowly: "Wen Chang can know that if the people who defend the city are all incompetent, what will happen?" ”

By now, Wei Yan already knew in his heart that today's punishment should be inevitable, so he had to shake his head slightly. No further words were spoken.

"If the Central Plains is flat, our army does not have cavalry like Cao Cao, how can we attack the city and expand the territory for me? If there was no Han Sheng's old general who worked hard day and night to train his soldiers, how could our army be able to drive straight into the land of Yizhou, which is thousands of miles away? Although Fei Yuwei is an elite, but it is not essential, it is the last hole card I kept, and it is also the sharpest weapon of our army, and it is different from other soldiers, how can Wen Chang be arrogant because of this, if this style grows, what is the difference between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei of Jingzhou? ”

Liu Feng's words were indeed a bit ruthless, but to Wei Yan's ears, it was like a basin of cold spring water poured on his head, stirring up the fluttering heart he had just bred back to reality.

"The words of the lord, like an initiation, to know the wrong, Fei Yuwei from today onwards, will never give birth to any arrogance, we will be a sharp knife in the hands of the lord, at the disposal of the lord!"

Seeing that Wei Yan's eyes were very sincere, Liu Feng nodded slightly, his goal today is now achieved, so he lowered his voice and said: "If it is according to the past, it is true that Feiyuwei should be selected first, but the war horse secretly acquired by General Meng Qi from Liangzhou will be in place in more than ten days, and the war horse is now a scarce resource in Huaxia. Only then did he order General Meng Qi to go and select people with riding talents, and it didn't conflict with your Feiyuwei selection criteria, so Wen Chang didn't need to be anxious. ”

After Wei Yan heard this, his face turned red again, Liu Feng had already had a plan in his heart, but he was impatient to come to argue, which made it even more obvious that his mentality was quite problematic.

In fact, Liu Feng let Ma Chao give priority to the selection of people, it is indeed because for the development of cavalry, Liu Feng is really a little impatient in his heart, if it is said that Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Yizhou, or because there are many waterways, or because there are many hills, the cavalry can not come in handy, but in addition to these states and counties in the territory of China, the cavalry can play a huge role.

Most of the territory in Cao Cao's hands was the plains of the Central Plains, and if he fought on such a landscape, any force with 10,000 cavalry would be able to gain a huge advantage in the confrontation with the forces without cavalry.

At this time, the cavalry, because of the reason for weapons and equipment, is mostly light cavalry, but even if it is a light cavalry, once it is rushed up on the plain, several times the infantry can not be stopped, in the face of a considerable number of infantry, as long as the cavalry is in formation, when charging the long weapon in front of the body, where it passes, if the infantry is not prepared, it will be all over the field.

It is precisely because of these reasons, coupled with Liu Feng's reputation for Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riding in the war with Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shao and others, so as soon as Yizhou arrived, he began to set up a strong cavalry, and now he has Ma Chao and his five thousand Liangzhou iron cavalry under his command, Liu Feng's goal is half completed.

In his heart, he wanted to form a cavalry corps of no less than 10,000 people, in order to be able to prepare for the battle for the Central Plains that might break out in a few years, but after a long conversation with Ma Chao a few days ago, Liu Feng also knew that war horses were too scarce in this troubled world, even if Ma Chao grew up in Liangzhou, which is famous for raising war horses, now he can only transport 3,000 war horses for Liu Feng through some efforts to take advantage of Cao Cao's unpreparedness, no matter how much, Ma Chao is really powerless.

Under such circumstances, Liu Feng had no choice but to first set the number of this cavalry corps at 8,000, and then under the guidance of Ma Chao, he sent more than a dozen caravans to the Qiang people in the northwest to buy them at a high price, and then brought them back piecemeal.
