Chapter 398: Expanding the Army

"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, the chaos and thieves of the Mixed Yuan Sect have been swept away, and my Yunzhou has returned to peace, this is all the credit of the lord!" Back in Yunzhou City, the Yunzhou gentry led by Wei Zhifu immediately sent a burst of sycophants, while Wang Ji looked at the mighty and majestic army behind Li You thoughtfully, this is even more elite than the original Zhenwei battalion, and in a short period of time can train thousands of such strong troops, it seems that I have made the right move. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Of course, this is still the result that Li You concealed half of it, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers had already been brought back to Jiazhou by Xu Guang from another way, if he knew this, he would probably be even more surprised, right?

"Yunzhou regimental training can have today, are the result of the full support of the Wei prefect and the gentry, this regimental training envoy heard that the Tang Kuo Department in the north of the desert is about to go south to attack my Great Wei, I expect that the court will send the documents of King Qin recently, and then the regimental training envoy will report your merits to the imperial court one by one." Now that the Mixed Yuan Sect is gone, Li You still wants to expand his troops, so he took out Tang Kuo's department as an excuse, and Wang Ji is on the side, these people quickly accepted this point of view, and they are quite looking forward to their names about to reach the ears of the ministers of the court and even the Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor.

After solving the problem of nomination, Li You temporarily handed over Yunzhou to Li Lingyue to take charge, and left Zhou Bofu and his army outside Yunzhou to monitor the changes in the city, and he returned to Jiazhou with Sima Cuo, Pan Feng and others.

The first thing he did when he returned to Jiazhou was to find an open place with Pan Feng and release the five thousand good war horses he had obtained from the Battle of Liantai, Pan Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw so many war horses, and the cavalry army he had been looking forward to for a long time could finally be formed now! Li You was also quite pleased, the power of cavalry in the cold weapon era was not comparable to infantry, if he could train a strong army like Chen Qingzhi's white-robed team and Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry, where could he go in the world?

Xu Guang, who came to receive the war horses, was also very surprised when he saw this scene in front of him, and wanted to transport five thousand war horses to Jiazhou, but he had not alarmed anyone, and his little lord was becoming more and more difficult to figure out.

The war horses were brought into the horse farm that Xu Guang had already prepared, and the horse breeders specially brought by Fan Li from Mobei immediately stepped forward to check the health status of these horses, and the results surprised them, none of these war horses that they didn't know where they came from were infected and injured, and they all kept their best condition, and even the saddle and horseshoes were matched, and it could almost be said that as long as there were enough riders, they could immediately enter the battle.

Li You appointed Pan Feng as the chief general of this cavalry, and matched him with the cavalry officer who had come from Beijing as his deputy, and released the news of the conscription of cavalry to Yunjia Erzhou, whether it was the regimental training of other battalions or the children of good families, as long as they passed the audit, they could join the cavalry.

The first to respond was the regimental training that had been trained with Li You for many days, except for Zhou Bofu's Modao team, many people in the other battalions signed up to be cavalry, after all, the status of cavalry in this era was higher than that of infantry, and riding a horse was as full of temptation to these people as driving in later generations. Li You just asked people to take dozens of war horses to the camp and walked around, attracting half of the people to sign up. As for the Modao team, they have their own pride, and they are convinced that after this period of training, even in the face of elite cavalry, they can split their men and horses into pieces.

In Zhou Bofu's words, with their current strength, there is no opponent who can compete with them in the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops of Great Wei, even if the cavalry of Tang Kuo, who has defeated Great Wei many times before, do not have more than 5,000 troops, don't want to block the thousand Mo Dao team under him, Li You is also convinced of this, and he did not forget to expand this heavy infantry team while recruiting cavalry.

A few days later, Yao Guangxiao also rushed back to Jiazhou from Qiantang with a large number of ships, Qian Sa sent a veteran of the army for him without the slightest excuse, and even sent a batch of ships built by their Qian family to Li You, and what surprised the reason was that Qian Hua also followed Yao Guangxiao to Jiazhou.

"Brother Xian, I didn't expect that in less than a year, you would break out of the big momentum." Seeing the strong army under Li You's command, Qian Hua sighed with emotion, their Qian family had their back to the canal, and they still held sea boats in their hands, and their family background was much thicker than Li You's, but even so, they had only recruited 5,000 regiments for training, and they couldn't compare with Li You's elite soldiers in terms of combat effectiveness.

"Brother Qian is here in Jiazhou, but he has to stay a few more days." Seeing Qian Hua, the reason seemed to recall the days when he was in the capital, and old acquaintances such as Wang Ji and Li Lingyue got together again, but it was a pity that Qiu Shangjian was still in the quagmire of the Beijing Division.

"I'm here to stay longer!" Qian Hua looked at him meaningfully, "Brother Xian, do you know that Brother Fool is the commander of the Qian family's canal army!" ”

"Huh? Isn't it uncle? Li You was pleasantly surprised, since Qian Sa was willing to send his heir to Jiazhou, the meaning contained in this was quite interesting, wasn't he optimistic about the future of Dawei?

"My father said that he is already old, and it depends on me whether the Qian family will prosper or decline in the future." Qian Hua seemed to be answering, and seemed to be sighing.

Li You laughed loudly, "Haha, Brother Qian, you and I work together, who in the world can stop us?" ”

With the help of the Qian family, Li You's water army was also formed at a very fast speed, and although it cannot be put into the battlefield now, it can be used to dredge the water bandits on both sides of the river, and it is enough to transport troops. Li You also reciprocated the favor by giving the Qian family several inventions developed by Gu Jiangzi that helped to improve the speed and combat effectiveness of the ship, which was of great help to them who relied on water for food.

Gu Jiangzi almost became the busiest person in Yunjia Erzhou during this time, the ships of the navy, the armor of the cavalry, and the weapons and equipment of the newly recruited infantry almost all fell on his head, but as long as he saw the larger and larger school on the mountain, he felt that it was all worth it.

Should I send a letter to Juzi and ask him to come to Jiazhou with the rest of the Mo family's manpower? Gu Jiangzi even had such an idea.

A month later, Li You's navy and cavalry had been recruited, and the two armies grew by leaps and bounds under the bonus of "Liuru".

Because he is in Jiazhou, no matter how busy Li You is, he will go home every day to have dinner with Zhou Nan, because he knows that what he will face next is an extremely dangerous battle, and he doesn't know when he will come back when he goes out this time. (To be continued.) )
