"Chief, how did you know that the other party was a person sent by Han Sui?"

On the way back, Li Tao expressed the doubts in his heart.

Li Tao didn't know Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying, but he knew that when Li Yu was in power a few years ago, he had awarded Ma Teng and Han Sui General Andi and General Anqiang respectively.

"Actually, I just happened to know that there are such two people under Han Sui's command." Wang Chong couldn't explain many things, so he could only find an excuse to perfunctory the past.

Li Tao nodded, and did not doubt him: "But it's strange to say, Han Sui can be regarded as a prince no matter how he says, and he would let people hide their identities and sneak into Jiangdong to sell horses, which is unbelievable." ”

"Do you think he really let people sell horses?" Wang Chong shook his head, "No, horse trafficking is just a front, his real purpose should be to seek allies." ”

"Looking for allies?"

"That's right, Han Sui is known as the Yellow River of Jiuqu, although there are a lot of flowers, but this person is still relatively far-sighted." Wang Chong explained, "Now that Yuan Shao has taken control of Hebei, he will inevitably go south, so war will soon break out between him and Cao Cao, and if Han Sui refuses to surrender, no matter who wins, he will be in a very dangerous situation, so he must seek an ally, an ally who can share the pressure for him in the event of an attack." ”

"So Jiangdong Sun Ce has become his best choice?"

"In fact, he doesn't have a lot of choices, not counting Ma Teng, it's just Zhang Lu, Liu Biao, and Sun Ce, and Zhang Lu and Liu Biao are just guards, I'm afraid they don't have the courage to confront that behemoth, so the rest is just Sun Ce's family."

"Will Sun Ce agree?"

"Yes, as long as he doesn't give up the fight for hegemony, he will definitely not be able to stand alone, not to mention that Han Sui still has his very scarce war horse resources in his hands." Speaking of this, a haze rose in Wang Chong's eyes, "Actually, I have already released my intention to cooperate with them to Cheng Gongying before, but the other party has little interest, obviously looking down on us Jinfan." ”

Li Tao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I believe that the leader will make them regret it, isn't it?" ”

Wang Chong's eyes gradually narrowed into a line, and a terrifying light burst out from the narrow gap: "Ah, they will definitely regret it, and this time will not be too long, no more than two years at most!" ”

Wang Chong hates being slighted, and today's disregard by Cheng Gongying has deeply stabbed his self-esteem, and he vows that one day, those who have despised him will come back to confess their mistakes like pugs.

"But isn't the chief going to stop it? Once Han Sui and Sun Ce form an alliance, it won't be a good thing for us, right? ”

"It can't be stopped, and there's no need to stop it!"

Wang Chong shook his head, if Han Sui had to ally with Sun Ce, he would stop it once, but he couldn't stop it a second time, and he might have a bad relationship with Han Sui, and he wouldn't be able to make a move, not to mention that no one knew better than Wang Chong that Sun Ce's life had already begun to enter the countdown.

――――――――――――

Not long after leaving Chaisang, Wang Chong met a large group of men led by Gan Ning on the river, apparently after learning the news of his trip to Chaisang from Zhuge Jin, Gan Ning was very uneasy, so he hurriedly rushed over with the people.

Wang Chong was secretly glad that he came out early, if it dragged on for a while, Gan Ning, who couldn't wait for the news, was afraid that he would attack the city directly.

When Gan Ning learned that Wang Chong went to Chaisang this time to get back two hundred war horses, although he was happy in his heart, he couldn't help but blame Wang Chong, thinking that he, as the leader of Jinfan, should not risk his life like this.

Feeling Gan Ning's heartfelt concern, Wang Chong was moved in his heart, and naturally he didn't dare to fight back, so he had to apologize again and again, and repeatedly promised that there would be no next time, so he finally let Gan Ning let him go.

Returning to the small island stationed in Poyang Lake, all the generals of General Wang Chong were gathered together, and Jinfan carried out the largest reorganization in history.

Among them, Wang Chong's personal guard still maintains the original number of three hundred, this personal guard battalion was originally composed of the best in Jinfan, and the combat power is extremely strong, although it is not possible to talk about one as ten, but it is definitely not a problem to block three with one, and there is no need to replace it at all.

Among the remaining men, Wang Chong selected three hundred soldiers who were strong and full of endurance, and everyone knew that these people were used by Wang Chong to form heavy infantry.

In addition to the heavy infantry, Wang Chong also needed three hundred cavalry soldiers to form a cavalry battalion, but this incident broke Wang Chong's heart, after all, the southerners are not good at riding, even if they are carefully selected, there are still many half-hangers, and it is difficult to come in handy in a short time.

The stirrups used during the Three Kingdoms period were all one-way, and without good riding skills, it was difficult for a person to maintain balance while running on a horse, and it was not easy to borrow strength.

However, Wang Chong does not plan to build a double stirrup at the moment, because this thing has no technical content, and it is easy to imitate it after being discovered.

Wang Chong didn't want to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot, so before he had a certain scale of cavalry, a sharp weapon like a double stirrup was absolutely not allowed to be born.

Scarcity is precious, and war horses are scarce in the Jiangdong region, so this cavalry is particularly precious to Jinfan, and before it has a certain actual combat ability, Wang Chong is not ready to put it into the battlefield too early.

Excluding Wang Chong's personal guard battalion and the two characteristic branches of heavy infantry and cavalry, the number of the logistics baggage battalion under the control of Zhuge Jin has also expanded from 100 to 500, and the remaining 7,000 soldiers, Wang Chong led 3,000 people with Gan Ning as the captain of Jinfan, and Li Tao and Ren Jiang each led 2,000 people as Sima of other departments.

On weekdays, these more than 7,000 soldiers are handed over to Gan Ning for unified training, Li Tao and Ren Jiang Fuzhi, Wang Chong does not interfere, after all, in Jinfan, Gan Ning's training ability is the strongest, especially in water warfare, it is enough to throw Wang Chong ten streets.

At the end of the meeting, Wang Chong left Zhou Hu alone.

Looking at the cramped and restless Zhou Hu, Wang Chong shook his head helplessly, obviously the other party had not completely stepped out of the shadow of the last incident.

"Do you know why I kept you?"

"My subordinates don't know!"

"You know that in the future, my Jinfan will have two more elite troops, one is cavalry, one is heavy infantry, and now the leading generals of these two troops are still vacant, I intend to promote you to the army Sima, command the heavy infantry, and directly obey me, I don't know what you think?"

"What...... What the? "Happiness came so suddenly, Zhou Hu couldn't even believe his ears for a while," for...... Why did you choose me? ”

Wang Chong frowned: "Where did you come from so much, why?" All you have to do now is answer yes or no! ”

"Yes, of course I do!" Zhou Hu nodded hurriedly, for fear that Wang Chong would take back his life in a second at night.

Zhou Hu was originally just an ordinary general under Li Tao, but now he was suddenly promoted to the commander of the heavy infantry, and this status was suddenly raised a lot, although there are not many soldiers and horses, but it is definitely the elite of the elite, and he is directly under Wang Chong's orders, in a sense, his status is almost equal to Li Tao.

Such a big piece of pie smashed down, and Zhou Hu was suddenly dizzy and ecstatic.

"Very well, but I have to warn you that your current position is only temporary, and if you don't do a good job in this position to my satisfaction, I will kick you down at any time!"

"Rest assured, the leader will definitely do his best to redouble the strict training of the soldiers, and will never fall into the majesty of my Jinfan!" Zhou Hu doesn't care about 3721, he will keep his position first.

"Well, I hope you do what you say, okay, go down!"

"Yes, the subordinates are retired!"

"Hey......" Looking at Zhou Hu's back and leaving, Wang Chong sighed helplessly.

Zhou Hu's arrogant and obedient personality is not pleasing, but judging from the fact that Li Tao immediately sent troops to help him when he learned that Li Tao was in trouble, at least in terms of loyalty, he is still reliable, coupled with his courage in battle and fearless death, he is already the best candidate that Wang Chong can think of at present, who makes Jinfan available now There are too few talents.

Wang Chong believes that as long as he uses it properly and uses both grace and power, it will not be difficult to completely control Zhou Hu.

And if Wang Chong had been struggling and thinking for a long time to let Zhou Hu be the general of the heavy infantry, then it was almost a subconscious decision to let Wang Shuang lead the cavalry.

Wang Shuang is a native of Longxi, grew up on horseback since childhood, has a very good set of horses and horses, of course, riding skills are also exquisite, Yan Xing did not find out about Wang Shuang's talent before, only regarded him as an ordinary groom, and gave him away at will, which undoubtedly made Wang Chong pick up a big bargain.

Originally, Wang Chong was worried that Wang Shuang was too young to convince the public, but it turned out that his worries were completely unnecessary.

Wang Shuang was very mature, and with his superior horsemanship and good martial arts, the entire cavalry battalion was quickly subdued by him.

Heroes come out of teenagers, and some people just lack an opportunity.
