After the rebels retreated, a big party was held in Chencang, although it was a cold winter season, but it could not resist everyone's enthusiasm at all. After the celebration banquet, Gao Fei personally went to visit Fu Xie and Gai Xun.

Fu Xie and Gai Xun were discussing how to write a good news to the imperial court, and when they saw Gao Fei coming, the two greeted each other together, and said in unison: "Hou Ye came to visit in person, and I asked Hou Ye to forgive me." ”

"You don't have to be so polite, I'm here to ask you, do you know when General Huangfu's army will arrive?" Since Gao Fei had made up his mind to move more than 1,000 people from the official army as his personal soldiers, he naturally knew the specific time of the arrival of the counterinsurgency army, so that Lu Heng could make some careful arrangements.

Gai Xun said: "It will take a month at the earliest, what, is the Hou Ye in a hurry to go to quell the rebellion with General Huangfu?" ”

Fu Xie smiled and said: "Hou Ye, don't be in such a hurry, now Hou Ye has resisted the rebels' 100,000 army with a mere thousands of people, and I haven't asked the court for this credit yet." If it is written and sent out today, half a month later, Hou Ye will be rewarded for his meritorious service, and when the time comes, when the soldiers and horses of the general arrive, won't Hou Ye be able to make meritorious deeds again? ”

Gao Fei smiled: "Hehe, what the two adults said is good. However, according to the normal itinerary of the Han army, it won't take a month to travel from Heluo to Sanfu? ”

Gai Xun said: "Hou Ye is also a person who has led the troops to fight, don't you hear the truth that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved?" It is easy to mobilize 100,000 elite troops, but some preparations will be made in terms of grain, grass, and soldiers' salaries. ”

After Gao Fei listened, he understood that fighting a war is a national strength, and the national strength consumed to start a war is very huge. He patted his head and said with a smile: "I was confused for a while, but I forgot about this stubble." I wonder if the good news of the two adults has been written? ”

Fu Xie said: "It's almost, it's okay to brew and brew again, Hou Ye has made a huge contribution this time, I'm afraid Your Majesty will add one or two thousand food estates to Hou Ye." ”

Gao Fei said: "The two adults are also indispensable, I don't dare to be greedy for merit alone, and I ask the two adults to report truthfully." Then I won't bother the two adults to write good news, farewell! ”

"Master Hou go slowly!" Fu Xie and Gai Xun bowed at the same time.

In the next few days, a "plague" suddenly appeared in Chencang, and people were constantly infected. This matter was naturally not trivial, and the military doctor was helpless, so Gao Fei ordered all the 2,000 infected people to be moved to the mountains on the west side of Chen Cang, and sent people to take strict care of them. After a few days, all the 2,000 people "died", although it was said that the plague was under control, but just in case, Gao Fei personally took his relatives to deal with the aftermath, and included the list of personnel in the ranks of the battlefield dead, and received a settlement fee from Fu Xie.

On the first day of October, it snowed heavily.

The mountains near Chencang are covered with a thick layer of snow, there is a stretch of Wuyue Mountain in the northwest of Chencang City fifty miles, Wuyue Mountain is located at the junction of Youfufeng, Hanyang, Wudu three counties, the land is vast and sparsely populated, there are many mountains and few fields, the inhabitants of the mountains have migrated to the Chang'an area long before the Liangzhou rebels invaded Sanfu, plus the heavy snow in midwinter, it is even more inhumanized, for such a big mountain, it is simply not a problem to hide two thousand private soldiers.

Gao Fei stepped on knee-deep snow, and walked slowly in the mountains with Zhao Yun and Lu Heng, and could faintly hear the sound of soldiers shouting, and a smile appeared on his face.

Lu Heng followed behind Gao Fei, admiring the beautiful snow scene, and said to Gao Fei: "Master Hou, how did you find out that there is a big open space here?" ”

Gao Fei smiled and said, "Do you remember that the day after I arrived in Chencang, I took Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan out to inspect the terrain?" It was found that day, it was early autumn, the maple leaves in the mountain were red, the scenery was beautiful, I climbed the mountain with Zhao Yun and Xiahoulan, and after walking a path, I found that there was a hole in the mountain, and I secretly wrote down this place. ”

Lu Heng said: "Hou Ye is really clever, in this way, it will be foolproof, the subordinates suggested before to convert soldiers into civilians, it is still not as safe as Hou Ye's method." ”

"Well, I'm also afraid of some trouble, after all, they are all dead people now, if someone finds out, wouldn't it be a fraud? So I thought about it, or decided to hide them in the mountains temporarily, and they can also be trained, from Huangfu Song to Chencang, and then from Chencang to Liangzhou, to say the least, there will be a few months, as long as this private army trains here with peace of mind, after a few months, it will definitely be able to become an elite army. ”

"Master Hou is clever!"

The group gradually walked towards the mountain, getting closer and closer to the source of the sound, and when everyone finally climbed the halfway up the mountain, their eyes suddenly brightened, but they saw that there was a huge flat place in the middle of the mountainside, almost five miles in radius, enough to accommodate two thousand soldiers, and it was more than enough.

Behind this clearing is a steep mountain road that rises into the sky, and you can climb to the top of the mountain road if you continue to climb up, only this one is the flattest on the whole mountain, and there is also a not too steep slope on the north side, the slope is a forest on top of it, in front of the woods are a few deserted wooden houses, the original residents have already gone to the building, and there are some caves near the broken wall that can live in people, it is really a natural place to train soldiers.

As soon as Gao Fei, Lu Heng, and Zhao Yun came to this open space, they saw that the two thousand soldiers were divided into ten teams, Li Wenhou, Pang De, Hua Xiong, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, Bian Xi, Fei An, Pei Yuanshao, and Xia Houlan each led a team to conduct different physical training for the soldiers.

Each team has 200 people, and the ten commanders are also personally selected by Gao Fei, and he wants to build this private army into an ancient version of the special forces, which can not only fight on horses, but also on land and in the mountains, and in the future, they will also be trained to be familiar with the nature of the water, so that they can be the elite of horse warfare, foot warfare, and water warfare.

As soon as everyone saw Gao Fei and the others coming, they hurriedly stopped, gathered together, and bowed respectfully to Gao Fei: "See Lord Hou!" ”

Gao Fei walked from the head of the queue to the tail like a great general, and after inspecting this group of carefully selected soldiers, he said with satisfaction: "From today onwards, your names will no longer be on the roster of the Han army, and from now on you will be a veritable living dead." However, your soldiers' salaries are still the same, and they are twice as much as the original Han army. Among you, there are my fellow clansmen and fellow villagers in Xiangwu, as well as sabber hands and officers and soldiers, no matter where you come from in the future, I just need you to remember that from now on, your army will have only one name, and that is Feiyu! ”

"Flying Feather! Remex! Remex! Two thousand soldiers shouted in unison.

In addition to selecting all the people who were skilled in arching and horses, Gao Fei also paid attention to their wishes, and spent almost six days asking the two thousand people in front of him one by one, and clearly told them that they would become his personal soldiers, and if they wanted, they would stay, and if they were unwilling or reluctant, they all agreed. So Gao Fei hired him at twice the salary of a normal Han soldier, and asked everyone to take a unified oath to be loyal to Gao Fei for all time.

After the preparations were completed, Gao Fei moved them all to this mountain, and selected Li Wenhou, Pang De, Hua Xiong, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, Bian Xi, Fei An, Pei Yuanshao, and Xiahou Lan as the commander of this army, and gave official positions to the establishment of the Han army, divided the 2,000 people into five departments, each with 400 people, and set up a military commander, with Li Wenhou, Pang De, Hua Xiong, Liao Hua, and Guan Hai as military marquis and military marquis, and Zhou Cang, Bian Xi, Fei An, Pei Yuanshao, and Xiahou Lan as military marquis. Captains, chiefs, and captains are elected by soldiers, and everything is organized according to the Han army that the soldiers are familiar with.

Gao Fei thought about it again, and then used the word "Flying Feather" to officially give this unit that was only loyal to him a name. Of course, the origin of the number is taken from Gao Fei's flying character and Zi Yu's feather character, which is equivalent to letting these soldiers thoroughly understand that they are their own private troops.

In addition, Gao Fei also asked Lu Heng to be the main bookkeeper, managing some logistics such as money and food, weapons, and equipment, as for Zhao Yun, he didn't plan to give Zhao Yun any position, but only stayed by his side to be a personal bodyguard, and also served as a martial arts consultant for this army.

Now seeing the flying feather troops created in front of him, his happiness is indescribable. In order to be able to better train this army, he used the military training subjects of the current army, and spent three days in this mountain to establish a training base, climbing over the wall, crossing a single-plank bridge, crawling forward, etc., as long as the military training projects he saw on TV, he built here with his own wisdom.

Today is the first day of formal training for this unit, Gao Fei personally came to give this unit a number, and together with Zhao Yun and Lu Heng, he brought the settling-in allowance received from Fu Xie, for the sake of fairness, he took out an extra part and gave everyone 10,000 yuan per person as a reward, whether it is a settling-in fee or a meeting gift, it is all included, and it is treated equally.

Seeing such a fighting spirit in front of him, Gao Fei really felt the feeling of being a general for the first time, and he shouted to the two thousand people in front of him: "Feiyu's soldiers, in the past few months, I have temporarily wronged you to practice your skills in this mountain, as long as I have time, I will personally come to train with you, although the weapons and equipment are not very unified now, but please rest assured, in a month's time, I will give you everything you have." ”

"The Lord is mighty! The Lord is mighty! ”

Gao Fei smiled, and then asked Lu Heng to distribute the rewards to the soldiers, and after these rewards were distributed, he began to conduct physical training with the group of soldiers to show his determination to be able to share the weal and woe with the soldiers. Originally, he had a high prestige in the hearts of this group of people, but now he is even more loved by this group of people. In addition to training, Gao Fei did not forget to tell them jokes, telling them about Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-six Strategies, and telling the legends of ghosts, monsters, gods and demons, which made the soldiers feel his affinity even more.

In the evening, Gao Fei took Zhao Yun and Lu Heng down the mountain and rushed back to Chencang as quickly as possible, after all, Chencang still needed him to guard, and he also had to think of ways to get some weapons and equipment from the hands of the Han army, otherwise how could his soldiers be trained well.
