Under the shade of the tree, Guo Jia and Zhang Fei leaned on the grass next to the big tree, witnessing the selection process of the Tiefutu soldiers.

Zhang Fei said depressedly: "Strategist, can this kind of crooked melon and sweet date be picked out?" ”

In his opinion, it should be martial arts, horsemanship, and formation that determine the combat strength of the army...... What is the use of running for a long time? This kind of picking, and what is picked out may not be the elite in the army.

Guo Jia said with interest: "Then how do you think you should choose?" ”

"Naturally, it is to set up a ring, let them compete for three days and three nights, and then ...... Choose the best. ”

Zhang Fei was speaking energetically, but when he saw Guo Jia looking at him with blazing eyes, his voice couldn't help but weaken.

Nai Nai, I used to be only afraid of my eldest brother, but now how can I even be treated by a military advisor......

"You think that because you don't know what kind of army you're going to build."

Guo Jia glanced at Zhang Fei, and then continued to talk. "The battle on the battlefield is not a sword competition between the market rangers, a veteran of a hundred battles may not be able to defeat a ranger with high martial arts skills alone, but if it is a hundred veterans against a hundred rangers, it must be the army that wins."

"Paying attention to the coordination of formations and arms is far more powerful than individual strengthening. Well, come with me later to see the equipment of the new army. ”

Guo Jia felt that even if he said more, Zhang Fei might not be able to understand, so it was better to let him witness it with his own eyes.

At this time, Guan Yu came head-on.

"Strategist, the officers and men of our department have completed the selection."

Guo Jia bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "The hard work has grown." ”

Guan Yu thought about it, and suddenly quipped: "Yide has always been reckless, why didn't the military advisor recommend Guan to the eldest brother?" ”

He saw it more thoroughly than Zhang Fei, and knew that his brother was now asking Guo Jia for everything, and the third brother could get the opportunity to take charge of the new army, and Guo Jia would probably contribute.

It's just that what Guan Yu doesn't understand is, why didn't he choose him, just because the third brother often sent him tonics?

Of course, in order to avoid misunderstandings between his brothers, he chose to say it directly to his face, so as not to hurt the harmony between his brothers.

Before Guo Jia could answer, Zhang Fei was dissatisfied.

"Second brother, I have always been steady in my flight affairs, how can I talk about recklessness, if you say that again, I won't recognize you as a brother."

Guan Yu smiled but said nothing.

Guo Jia is like a mirror, knowing that Guan Yu is performing a radical method, if Zhang Fei does not want to be underestimated, he must be cautious in this matter in the future, so as not to be really named reckless.

So he cooperated and said: "Yun Chang's words are not unreasonable, my Japan wants to recommend Yun Chang to take charge of the new army, but the lord thinks that you will be alone in the future, so you can only use Yide." ”

These words not only cooperated with the radical method, but also unlocked the mustard in Guan Yu's heart.

Guan Yu nodded and said, "I see, I just hope that Yide can live up to expectations." ”

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, his expression in disbelief.

Are you two in my absence?

How can you talk about Zhang Yide so grandly?

It's tolerable, it's unbearable.

"Second brother, military advisor, how can you ......?"

"Yide is also there!"

Guo Jia and Guan Yu looked at each other and smiled.

Zhang Fei's face was already dark, but now it is even darker.

"Hmph, I, Zhang Fei, will never let you see a joke!"

The process of selecting soldiers continued until the evening, when 800 strong men stood out from more than 10,000 elites.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao both looked puzzled, and they couldn't guess where the root of this selection method was, and was it really elite?

However, Guo Jia did not explain much.

"I'm tired of the generals, now that you have been chosen, you can lead the army back to the camp first."

"The last will obey."

——

After arranging the selected soldiers to the new military camp, Guo Jia took Zhang Fei to the ordnance workshop that Mi Zhu was responsible for supervising.

This is a manor built ten miles away from Jinyang City, covering an extremely vast area, heavily guarded by soldiers from all directions, the periphery of the courtyard, and even the forest are full of bright and dark sentinels, which looks like a fortress.

Obviously, before Guo Jia went to find Mi Zhu, Liu Bei had already informed him in advance, otherwise it would not have been built so quickly.

As soon as the two approached, they heard the sound of hammers striking metal, and the smoke above the manor was thick and busy.

Guo Jia had been here before, and the guards at the gate had already known each other, and the two of them had been unimpeded all the way.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated this new army, after all, he even had a special place to build ordnance.

When the general heard that Guo Jia was coming, he immediately hurried out to greet him and asked, "Does the military advisor have any orders?" ”

Guo Jia nodded slightly: "Is there a finished product?" ”

"Yes!"

"Take it and show it to the three generals, and in the future, the ordnance you have built will be directly handed over to him."

"Whoa."

A moment later, the general returned, followed by several soldiers, each carrying a set of dark armor.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei was a little puzzled, does a pair of armor need several people to carry?

But he soon discovered the secret, this armor was much thicker than what he usually saw, and it was very tight, and it looked like there were no flaws.

In addition to the common armor, there are other forms of armor.

Zhang Fei subconsciously asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is the vest, the name used for disguise."

Guo Jia made a harmless joke.

Zhang Fei obviously didn't understand.

Guo Jia stopped teasing him and explained: "This is draped on the war horse...... Vest. ”

Zhang Fei was stunned.

"War horses also need to wear armor?"

He suddenly felt full of happiness, the eldest brother treated him so generously, and the new army even equipped the war horse with armor!

However, he immediately realized a problem, with such heavy armor, can ordinary soldiers cut it?

When I think of it, I want to confirm it.

So Zhang Fei pulled out his sword violently, waved his hand and said, "Strategist, retreat first, and watch me Zhang Fei try this armor." ”

Guo Jia did not object, Zhang Fei was the main general, which should be understood, so he took a few steps back.

Zhang Fei took a helmet and an armor and put them on the table not far away, then took a deep breath and slashed down the helmet with a sword.

While!

Sparks splash.

Zhang Fei looked intently, but saw that there was only a faint trace on the helmet.

While!

He still didn't give up, and slashed at the armor again, and the result was not bad at all.

He was stunned for a while, and then sighed: "My good man, how much iron is this?" ”

Guo Jia said indifferently: "With your family resources, you can only make dozens of sets of such armor at best. ”

Zhang Fei: ??

Are you polite?

He had forgotten about it, but now that someone brought it up again, his heart began to ache again.

However, when he thought that he would be in command of such a heavily armored army in the future, his mood became comfortable again.

There was a moment of silence.

"Strategist, I like you."

The crowd is petrified.

Guo Jia looked frightened and ran out of the door quickly.
