With Wang Xu's words, all the generals instantly showed joy. But it didn't last long, and it quickly sank again.

Seeing this, Wang Xu couldn't help laughing and said, "What? Didn't you always want to form cavalry? Why don't they look so happy? ”

Hearing this, the generals glanced at each other, but none of them replied. However, after Zhang Jing pondered for a long time, he hesitated a little and said: "Boss, recruitment is going on now, and the establishment and initial training of new recruits are very troublesome. And if you build a fortress here, I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower! ”

"Hmmm! I know that. But the horses have come, and the horse farm has not been built, what do you think should be done? It will take about three months for this fortress to be built, so should the horses be locked up in the barracks for three months? Wang Xu asked with a smile.

"Of course not!" Zhang Jing immediately shook his head.

"So, there's no way around it." As he spoke, Wang Xu paused for a moment, looked at the generals, and then slowly continued: "However, you are also right to be worried, there are not enough people at present, and there are many affairs, so you can't be separated." To form a cavalry, it is necessary to spend a lot of time and energy to screen and train. So, before the fortress here is completed, I will take care of the cavalry training myself! ”

As soon as these words came out, Gao Shun suddenly exclaimed: "The lord personally trained? ”

"That's right! Anyway, I don't have much to do in the recent period, and I will personally form the cavalry. ”

As he spoke, Wang Xu glanced at the generals who were surprised, and his voice changed, and he said in an accentuated tone: "Moreover, I myself have high hopes for the cavalry, and this cavalry, as my first formed cavalry, must be the elite of the elite and become the signature unit under my command." The weapons and equipment should be the best, the knights should be the best, and the treatment and treatment should be better than that of other soldiers. ”

With Wang Xu's words, Zhou Zhi and Zhang Jing's eyes lit up and understood what he meant. But the rest of the generals were a little hesitant, Xu Sheng and Gao Shun looked at each other for a long time, and then turned their heads uncertainly and said: "Lord, is this a little inappropriate, if the soldiers' salaries are different, will they be dissatisfied?" ”

"Maybe at the beginning, but as long as you grasp it well, it won't." As he spoke, Wang Xu took a deep breath, but he was not in a hurry to explain positively, but asked, "Wen Xiang, what kind of army do you think is an invincible army?" ”

Hearing this, although Xu Sheng was a little puzzled why Wang Xu suddenly asked this, he immediately replied: "The order is unified, the soldiers are fighting bravely, and the army that is brave and good at fighting LinkedIn can be called an invincible division." ”

"Yes!" Wang Xu nodded immediately, but then shook his head with a smile and said, "However, what you said is just the surface, and what is behind it?" I sue you that you are the soul of the army. An army must have a military soul in order to be an invincible army. Huo Quai's Northern Expedition to the Huns won successive battles, what is the military soul he created? It is revenge and hatred, and it is to protect the family and defend the country. With his personal charm and skill, he integrated these things into the army, so his army always insisted on the belief in victory, no matter how difficult the environment was. coupled with his own ability to command troops, so he can be invincible and invincible. ”

......As soon as Wang Xu's words came out, except for Zhang Jing and Zhou Zhi, all the other generals chattered about these two names that they had never heard of.

None of them are stupid people, on the contrary, they are also famous generals in history, so they quickly reacted one after another. Gao Shun's eyes lit up first, and then he looked at Wang Xu respectfully and said, "Lord, then I don't know what kind of military soul we should set up for the soldiers?" ”

"Honor!" Wang Xu didn't hesitate at all and blurted out.

"Honor?"

"Yes, it's honor!" Knowing that it was difficult for everyone to understand the deep meaning of this word, he explained: "This honor is not just a one-sided personal honor, but the honor of a soldier." Loyalty is the honor of a soldier, it is the honor of a soldier to defend the country, it is the honor of a soldier to open up territory, it is the honor of a soldier to be invincible, and it is also the honor of a soldier to be strong and brave! Moreover, not only the soldiers, but all the generals, including you and me, are all soldiers, so there should be honor. As long as we wear our armor and hold the sword in our hands, we must not forget our honor. ”

With Wang Xu's slow but firm words, all the generals were quite shocked, and unconsciously clenched the sword in their hands, and there was a resonance in their hearts. In fact, these are exactly what they have been pursuing all their lives, but they have unconsciously pursued them and have never seriously summarized them.

After a while, the generals couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and they all bowed their hands: "Thank you for the teachings of the lord!" ”

"Huh!" Smiling with satisfaction, Wang Xu stopped being verbose, and quickly turned back to business: "Since you all understand, it's easy to do." In the future, an atmosphere of benign competition should be formed in the military. The salaries and salaries of this cavalry formation were higher than those of others, and even higher than those of other cavalry formations that would be established in the future. But in this team is the elite of the entire army, not convinced? Of course you can, then compare with each other, and if which unit can do better, it can also be divided separately. And such a special formation unit will have its own name, just like each of you. Of course, such a unit is very picky about the candidates, once someone does not meet the requirements and cannot keep up with the public, then immediately expel out and re-select people to come in, so as to ensure the absolute elite of the troops. Got it? ”

"Got it!" The generals all nodded again and again this time, and they were also very interested in Wang Xu's idea.

"Hmmm! This is the first step in cultivating the military spirit, that is, to make the soldiers have the pursuit of honor, of course, including the material conditions. Only with such competition can the army form an atmosphere of progress. Saying that, Wang Xu smiled slightly, but turned to say: "Also, your part should be the same, to highlight the difference, since they are strong enough and hard enough, then let them get enough rewards." Let them understand that the lives they give are rewarded. ”

"No!" The generals immediately responded in unison.

However, after Zhou Zhi followed everyone to respond, he suddenly came out and asked, "Boss, what should be the name of this first army?" And how many people are there? ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu thought about it in his heart for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Among the horses purchased this time, there are only 9,000 combat horses that can be directly used, and the sum of your several troops is 3,300 people, after deducting 3,300 war horses, then there are 5,600 left." And my Lingling County itself also has some, excluding those inferior horses, which can only be used as heralds or transporters, there are only more than five hundred, and all of them are allocated to my guards except for the generals' horses. And last time, I captured some from the thieves, but they were also rationed to heralds and scouts, so this time I just formed 5,000 people. ”

As he spoke, he paused for a moment before he answered: "As for the name!" Let's call it the Blue Dragon Knights! ”

Hearing this name, Gao Shun didn't care about them, but Zhang Jing couldn't help but interject: "Dragon Knights? The name seems a bit ......"

Although he didn't finish his words, Wang Xu didn't know what he meant, so he shook his head and smiled: "Although it's a bit cliché, it doesn't matter, it's just a name anyway." As for the name of the knight regiment instead of the cavalry regiment, it is because during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, only the most elite cavalry was called knights. ”

"Oh!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Wang Xu smiled and said: "Since you have no objections, the armor of this cavalry will be painted cyan in the future, and it must be eye-catching and distinctive." ”

Saying that, Wang Xu did not stop, but quickly continued: "This conscription, the plan is to exclude your troops, a total of 50,000 people. But since the cavalry is to be formed, it will simply be increased to 55,000 people, a total of five corps, plus 5,000 Blue Dragon Knights. And Gao Shun, the second brother and Xu Sheng are in charge of one army, and the other two armies and the Blue Dragon Knights are directly under me. Yang Feng and Song Qian were promoted as fake Zhonglang generals, and Yang Feng replaced Guan Hai as Gao Shun's deputy. Song Qian replaced Han Meng and became my second brother's deputy. Han Meng and Guan Hai were transferred over to assist me in managing the two armies directly under me, and Zhou Zhi assisted me in transferring out and assisting me in managing the Blue Dragon Knights, but the official position was still a captain. ”

As Wang Xu's words fell, all the generals were happy, but Zhou Zhi's face changed, his lips moved, and he seemed to want to say something. But after all, he held back and didn't speak in public.

Seeing this, Wang Xu breathed a long sigh of relief and said softly: "Okay! That's it, new recruits are coming in a steady stream, and you should hurry up and build up. As for the selection of personnel of the Blue Dragon Knights, it will be carried out by me and Zhou Zhi. ”

As he spoke, Wang Xu suddenly remembered his guards, and immediately couldn't help but look at Dian Wei, who had been silent, and said, "Dian Wei, my five hundred guards will also be re-selected." Starting the test tomorrow morning, anyone who can't catch my eight-layer strength and three punches will be transferred to other units, and the existing veterans will be selected to supplement them with higher martial arts. When you're done here, go and let me know! ”

"Yes, my lord!" Dian Wei immediately nodded honestly.

Seeing that the things that should be ordered have been almost ordered, Wang Xu no longer delayed everyone's time, and immediately said: "Okay, I don't have much else to say." Prepare these things, and tomorrow morning I will return to the barracks!" Yang Feng and Song Qian's seal, I will do my best to let my eldest brother Wang Kai dare to do it. ”

After speaking, the generals arched their hands, did not procrastinate, and immediately dispersed to go about their own business. Only Zhou Zhi refused to leave, and when he saw that everyone had already gone away, he cried and said with a sad face: "Boss, why is it that Yan Feng and Song Qian have been promoted, and I won't move?" ”

"This is normal, they have military merits, do you have them?" Wang Xu was amused in his heart, but he glanced at Zhou Zhi with disdain on his face.

"I don't have merit, but I have merit! Even if there is no merit, I have been in charge of Lingling County for so long, and there is always hard work! Boss, you are wise and martial, it must be absolutely impossible to do such a thing that does not distinguish between right and wrong, and the rewards and punishments are unknown. Right! Saying that, Zhou Zhi also looked at Wang Xu with a pair of watery eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, seep panic! I don't have a dragon yang fetish! Glancing at Zhou Zhi angrily, Wang Xucai continued: "Don't pretend to be pitiful, I handed over the only cavalry to you, what else do you want?" Besides, now there are only 5,000 cavalry, and I am directly under it, so I can only have one lieutenant at most. There's no way you've just given me the order to change the military system, and I'm going to make something special right away! ”

Looking at Wang Xu's solemn appearance, Zhou Zhi thought about it and knew that there was no play. Immediately, he couldn't help but muttered dejectedly: "When is the next time the boss buys a horse?" When will my cavalry be fully formed? ”

"This ......" Hearing this, Wang Xu was really embarrassed, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Anyway, there is no chance for the time being, if you wait for the horse to be born, it is estimated that in three years, the horse will generally enter youth at the age of three." ”

"Three years!" Zhou Zhi's eyes widened suddenly. After a while, he grabbed Wang Xu's clothes violently and said in a wailful voice: "Boss, you better transfer me back!" I went to be my infantry captain, for three years, I don't know how many battles I have fought, and I will be promoted faster than this by merit! At that time, everyone will become a Taishou, general, and I am still a small captain, how can I live! I'm still waiting to save money to marry a daughter-in-law! Boss, you're already famous, but you can't forget your brother! I ......"

Seeing Zhou Zhi's snot and tears, and his mouth crackling, Wang Xu hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't cry poor, with your current income, marrying ten daughters-in-law is enough." Secondly, I will look for opportunities to get more horses, and I can't really wait three years. Besides, you don't have enough money, it's okay, come to me. Finally, get your dirty hands away quickly, I'm in an official uniform! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhi's expression changed instantly, and the "pain" on his face disappeared in an instant, and he said happily: "Haha! Boss, that's what you said, you don't have enough money to ask for it. You are now a general in Zhennan, you have to talk about it, and I will go to my sister-in-law another day. ”

"Why are you looking for her?"

"Cut! Who doesn't know that you are poorer than me now, and my sister-in-law is rich. After speaking, before Wang Xu could react, the person had already run several meters away in an instant, and he ran away without looking back. It's just that because he was too anxious, his eyes glanced at Wang Xu again, so he forgot that this was a construction site, and as a result, he kicked the stone on the side of the road with a "bang" and fell into a big fight.

Seeing this living treasure writing and acting, Wang Xu was really helpless, shook his head with a smile and laughter, and rode back to the city on his beloved horse......
