I'm wondering who this Lord Hou is, but it's inconvenient to ask. had to take the seal, and at the same time helped Zhu Jinlong up. "Is Captain Zou here?"

"Your Excellency is talking about Lord Zhonghou, right? Lord Zhonghou has important business in Jixian County, so he specially asked the lowly to listen to the dispatch of the adults. Zhu Jinlong replied respectfully.

"You mean Lord Zou has moved to the right?"

"Lord Zou received an order from the general and was promoted to the lieutenant marquis and rear general of the Northern Army, commanding the five captains of Youzhou Tun Cavalry, Yue Cavalry, Infantry, Changshui, and Shooting." (Eastern Han Dynasty military system: five people and one army, with a military commander; Ten people have a tithe, and there are many longs; A team of 50 people, with a team rate; 100 people in a tun, there is a tun chief; Two hundred people in a song, there are military marquis; One for four hundred, with Sima. The five divisions are a battalion, that is, an independent combat unit, and the commander of the army is usually called a general or a lieutenant. The position of lieutenant marquis in the Northern Army was one level lower than that of the lieutenant, and his main function was supervision. Only in wartime and the title of general has the power to rule over the captain, and at this time the position is higher than the captain, and he is the direct superior. ）

"By the way, this is an edict from Lord Zhonghou to you." Zhu Jinlong took out a roll of white silk scarf from his arms. I took it and read it carefully, and the original text is as follows:

According to the general's military order, he was promoted to the captain of the Tun cavalry, responsible for the guard of Zhuo County in Youzhou, and he must be doubly diligent, loyal to the country, report to the Son of Heaven, and calm the civil strife. In case of unclear matters, you can report to our department and then make a decision. In addition, the commander sent the Yue cavalry battalion to help you quell the rebellion in the county, so be sure to cooperate and don't cause trouble. Remember, remember.

The inscription was Zou Jing, the marquis and general of the Northern Army.

Good guy, you've been promoted. It's really a person who has attained the Tao, the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and I was promoted to an official with a little bit, it is really a great disaster not to die, and there will be a blessing in the future.

I smiled and said, "Which Sima are you?" ”

"The humble position is the Sima of the upper tun department, and the lower command is five songs, a total of 1,000 horses."

"Five songs?"

"Lord Hui, the Shangtun Department under the command of the lowly post is the Strengthening Department. Another three songs were expanded by the recruits. ”

"Oh, I see. Tell us a little bit about the camp. ”

"The Tun cavalry battalion has jurisdiction over five departments: Shangtun, Zhongtun, Xiatun, Xintun, and Beitun, with a total of 3,800 cavalry. Shangtun, Zhongtun, and Xiatun are the reinforcement departments, each with 1,000 horses; Xintun and Beitun are regular departments, each with 400 horses. At present, the four of them are cooperating with the Vietnamese cavalry battalion to pursue and suppress the Yellow Turban rebels. ”

The four divisions of my battalion cooperate with the Vietnamese cavalry battalion? In this way, the Yue Cavalry Battalion is the main force and protagonist, and our battalion is the auxiliary force and supporting role. Could it be that there are more cavalry in this cavalry battalion?

"Tell me a little about the situation in the Yue Cavalry Battalion."

"The Yue Cavalry Battalion is a reduced battalion, with three subordinate divisions, each of which is a regular department, with 400 people each, and a total of 1,200 people in the whole battalion."

"Then why is the Yue Cavalry Battalion the main force of the nest thieves?"

Zhu Jinlong was stunned for a long time, and replied: "The Yue cavalry battalion used to be mainly a cavalry battalion composed of Yue people, but now it is composed of knights who can ride and shoot well, and the cavalry of the whole battalion is elite. Although the number is smaller than that of other battalions, it is often used as the main force of attack. ”

"The captain of this school doesn't believe how powerful the Yue Cavalry Battalion can be." The army under my command must not be inferior to any army. Ignoring the pain oozing blood in his left arm, he climbed onto Zhu Jinlong's war horse, but wanted to see how good the Yue cavalry camp outside the city was.

"Big brother."

When I looked back, I realized that I had forgotten that Qiu Ming and Deng Mao had been injured. "You go back to Zhangyuan first."

I kicked the horse's belly with both legs and flew towards the west gate.

****** ****** ******

Outside the western city, the wind howled, and the dust covered the sun's rays. The faint neighing of horses made me feel a stirring in my heart. Driving the horse, there is an uphill slope ahead. With a loud shout, he urged the horse to run. Although my riding skills were terrible, the horse seemed to know my mind, and in an instant it brought me safely up the slope.

In front of me was a large basin-like terrain, and I was at the edge of the basin, only to see the shadows of people and horses under my feet, and I heard the constant shouting.

I looked at it closely, and I couldn't help but be amazed. Thousands of cavalry surrounded nearly 10,000 infantry rebels like iron buckets, and no matter how the rebels clashed, they could not break through. Three other squads of cavalry rushed back and forth in the heart, unstoppable, killing like a tiger entering a flock.

I saw that the outer cavalry was gradually shrinking the encirclement, and the number of rebels was decreasing correspondingly.

"This is a common tactic used by the Yue Cavalry Battalion, called 'Flowering in the middle'"

I looked sideways and saw Zhu Jinlong riding on my right side, staring at the battle at my feet.

"Is it true that the quality of the cavalry in our cantonment battalion is much worse than theirs?"

Zhu Jinlong didn't answer directly, but said: "Every year, the Yueqi Battalion selects outstanding knights from the three battalions of Tuncai, Changshui, and Shesheng. ”

No wonder, I said how to get the excellent knights of the Yue Cavalry Battalion from, it turns out that they all dug the corners of the wall from our third battalion. I really don't understand, how could the lieutenant marquis of the Northern Army allow such a thing to happen?

"Since the time of Emperor Wu, the Yue cavalry battalion has made many military exploits, and the knights in the battalion are much higher than the other four battalions. Whether it is grain or gold, it is the first to strike. Over time, entering the Yue Cavalry Camp has become the greatest wish of every knight. Every year, when it comes to the selection process, the knights who run for election are surrounded by mountains and seas. ”

"Do you want to go in?" I asked, pulling the horse rope.

Zhu Jinlong ignored the front and didn't answer my question. If you think about it, there must be something hidden in it. I will not force him. "It seems that there are only more than a thousand cavalry below, and since the cavalry of my battalion has participated in the battle, it is impossible to have such a few cavalry, right?"

"Lord Hui, when I came to the humble position, I met Sima of the Xintun Department, and said that the captain of the Yue Cavalry did not need infantry to participate in the battle. The four of them have retreated to the city. Zhu Jinlong arched his hand, his expression was very ugly.

"What do you mean?"

"It means that our cavalry is slow and weak in attack, and compared to them, they are infantry."

Outrageous. I scolded angrily, "Damn B." ”

"Do they often say that about us? Also includes the second battalion of Changshui and Shotsy? ”

"Your Excellency guessed right. Our three battalions couldn't hold their heads up in front of them. Insults are common. And ......"

"What's there?!"

"You moved to the right, why did it happen that there were vacancies?"

"Say it, don't beat around the bush."

"The day before yesterday, the previous lieutenant of the Tun cavalry was killed on the spot because he couldn't stand the insult and duel with the captain of the Yue cavalry."

"Didn't Lord Zhonghou punish him?"

"Punished, punished for half a year."

Grandma's! Is this also a penalty? The reason why Zou Jing didn't dare to do it to him was because he had some backstage? It must be like this.

"What's that guy's identity?" I asked.

"His name is He Zulong." After speaking, Zhu Jinlong didn't speak again. Hearing it, the surname He didn't even dare to move the marquis of the Northern Army, so naturally the relationship with the general He Jin was unusual.

I glanced at my feet, and the rebels had been annihilated. I was surprised that He Zulong actually had real skills, and he was an outlier among the domineering people.

I drove my horse back to the city. On the way, I was thinking, it's better not to provoke me, otherwise, Emperor Han Ling won't be able to save you.
