It was not until this evening that the whole army had completed the day's training, and after enjoying two meals of fragrant beef stew, all the soldiers went back to the camp to rest with their round bellies. After Ma Chao drank the beef soup, he was ready to go back to his camp to rest, and wait until tomorrow to pull out the camp and attack Han Sui's army.

As soon as he walked to his tent, he saw that under the faint light of torches, Ju Yi was already standing outside his tent and wandering back and forth, not waiting for him, but for whom?

Ma Chao stepped forward, Ju Yi saw it and hurriedly greeted him, and bowed: "See the young master!" "Tame to the extreme.

Ma Chao bowed slightly, said "um", and took the lead in walking towards the camp behind him. Seeing this, Ju Yi hurriedly reached out and lifted the curtain of the tent first, so that Ma Chao could walk in straight, and he followed in.

After entering the camp tent, Ma Chao sat down and asked, "Have you eaten yet?" ”

Ju Yi nodded and said, "I've eaten it!" The young master doesn't have to worry. ”

"That's fine," Ma Chao said, "then do you have anything to do with me tonight?" ”

Ju Yi said: "The last general said to the young master before that the last general can't do anything else, and the martial arts are okay, but only the training of soldiers, the last general is quite unique." ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "So, you're here to ask me for a part?" ”

"The young master really knows people, and the last general is really here to ask the young master, can you give the last general a chance to change?" Ju Yi said cautiously.

Ma Chao saw that Ju Yi was so restrained in the face of him, so he said, "Okay! Who is without fault? The sages are not yet able to do so, let alone us? Now that you have been duly punished and have received my understanding, you will not have to be so cautious in the future, but only be decent. Otherwise, I will feel at a loss. ”

These words immediately opened Ju Yi's heart knot, Ju Yi paused, and then said, "Promise." ”

Ma Chao knew that the strong team trained by Ju Yi was the first to enter the camp, and he was a little curious about how he trained it, so he asked: "Of course I can give it to you, but I want to hear how your method of training soldiers is different from others." ”

After thinking for a moment, Ju Yi said, "That's the case, young master. The last general was originally a plain man, and later migrated to Liangzhou with his ancestors. The family is well-off, and there are still some ancestors who have saved the roots, so they bought fields in Liangzhou and recruited tenants. ”

Ma Chao laughed when he heard it, the land annexation was so serious in recent years that the strong fields were endless, and the poor had no place to stand. Ju Yijia can be so honest, that's no wonder!

Ma Chao smiled: "Is it a merger or an acquisition?" Is it pressure or solicitation? Is it a house slave or a tenant? ”

Sure enough, when Ju Yi heard this, his face became a little unnatural and embarrassed. Ju Yi said embarrassedly: "The young master is really wise, as the young master said." But no matter what means are used, the Ju family is still rooted in Xiliang. However, when I migrated to Xiliang, I learned that the people in Xiliang were fierce, and the contradictions between the Qiang people and the Han people intensified from time to time, so that they became a mutiny and civil rebellion. In order to protect themselves, the Ju family could only recruit homeless people as domestic slaves, and selected the able-bodied ones to practice martial arts to defend against thieves. ”

Ma Chao nodded, he knew that Ju Yi's words were probably also a common portrayal of the heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The Eastern Han Dynasty was originally established with the support of the big landlords in Nanyang, so it did not inhibit land annexation; In order to expand, the powerful will inevitably resort to usury and other despicable and shameless means to annex the land of yeoman farmers; Serious land annexation has resulted in a large number of landless and displaced people;

In order to survive, the landless and displaced people can only gather into chaos and set off a peasant uprising; In order to keep the wealth they have robbed, the powerful must train their private soldiers. For example, Cao Cao was anti-Dong, and his brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong immediately led more than 1,000 private soldiers to help; Later, when Cao Cao's troops were staying, Yu Ban led hundreds of people to vote.

Ju Yi said: "The war in Xiliang is long, and over time, my Ju family has gradually figured out the laws of the Qiang people's battles. In previous wars, he honed into an elite army, explored a special tactic to deal with cavalry, and was proficient in bows and crossbows. Therefore, the Ju family is not as good as Yang Qiu, Zhang Heng and other private soldiers, but it has never been broken by thieves. ”

When Ma Chao heard this, sure enough, Ju Yi's private soldier was the first camp he was familiar with, and he was overjoyed. He asked, "What about your sect soldiers?" Where are you now? If it is not with me, is it in the hands of my Father? ”

Zongbing means private soldiers.

Unexpectedly, Ju Yi sighed when he heard this, and said: "Han Sui's uprising is also, killing Beigong Yu and connecting the heroes from all over Liangzhou, gathering and causing chaos. Then I knew that my Ju family had 800 soldiers, and I knew how to fight Qiang, and I was the elite of the elite, so I came to invite me to join in the chaos, in a vain attempt to attack Sanfu and even under the capital. The last general would not give in to the thief, and refused to write to him. So he led the thieves to the dock fort, and the crowd reached 100,000. The soldiers of the last general did not retreat from the battle, and the whole army was wiped out after killing thousands of thieves; Dozens of family members were killed; The last general was only spared, but fortunately escaped from the siege. ”

In the end, Ju Yi bowed his head sadly.

Hearing that the sect soldiers were destroyed, Ma Chao was also very sorry, and sighed: "I see. ”

After a pause, Ma Chao said, "But you don't have to be too sad. Although the soldiers of the sect have been destroyed, as long as you are still there, you can rebuild the elite of the former elite. ”

As soon as Ju Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly became bright, and he bowed his hand and said, "What the young master said is extremely true!" Therefore, the last general is here, just to ask the young master to allow the last general's part, and the last general will be able to rebuild the strength of the former soldiers and dedicate it to the young master! I don't know what to do? ”

Ma Chao said: "Of course you can! If it weren't for Gu Nianyou's talent for military training, I wouldn't have spared your life. ”

Ju Yi scratched his head in embarrassment.

Because there is no tiger talisman, the tiger talisman has to be issued by the imperial court; Ma Chao tore off his jade pendant from his body and threw it to Ju Yi. Ju Yi caught the jade pendant with both hands.

Ma Chao said: "Tomorrow, you will hold my jade pendant as a token of troop transfer, and you can call any part at will." ”

Ju Yi bowed his head and said happily: "Thank you, young master! But ......"

"But what?"

Ju Yi hesitated and said, "The last general doesn't want a whole part. ”

"And what do you want to do?"

"The last general wants to select 800 people from the whole army, I don't know if it's possible?" After speaking, Ju Yi glanced at Ma Chao's expression nervously.

After all, this is a bit embarrassing for Ma Chao, and selecting the best 800 sergeants from the whole army will definitely cause complaints from the captains that these sergeants have in their own right. If you don't choose it this way, you can't guarantee the quality of the soldiers.

Ma Chao thought about it again and again, and finally decided to approve Juyi's conditions. Ma Chao said: "Ju Yi, do you know that if you do this, how many officials will be dissatisfied with me?" How much pressure shall I bear on you? ”

Ju Yi lowered his head and said, "The last general knows." ”

But he quickly raised his head again and said eagerly: "But the last general must be like this, in order to ensure that he can train an elite and a strong team for the young master!" Please also ask for the permission of the young master! After speaking, he bowed his hand again.

Ma Chao said: "Yes is allowed, but you must train your troops to withstand thousands or even tens of thousands of horses, just as you said yesterday, the combat power must far surpass your soldiers." Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to explain to the officers and men of the whole army. ”

Ju Yi grinned and said, "So, the young master has allowed it!" ”

Ma Chao nodded. Ju Yi said excitedly: "Don't worry, the young master will definitely live up to the young master's trust!" ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Then is your part famous?" ”

Ju Yi scratched his head and said, "I used to be called the Ju Clan's Sect Soldiers. The last general never thought about ......"

Ma Chao smiled and said: "Okay, if your part is really practiced in the future, you must be the first to ascend for our army, so it will be called 'first camp'!" ”

"Camp first? Good name, good name! Thank you for the name! ”
