As soon as the words fell, next to a large number of tables and chairs that appeared behind the parade platform at some point, a large group of soldiers lifted the red cloth covering the round table, and those soldiers were Ma Chao's personal guard battalion. When the red cloth is lifted, the round table is lined with neatly arranged wine dishes, each with a roasted whole lamb and other wine dishes. From afar, Ma Chao could smell the aroma of meat and wine.

Pound shouted again: "On the orders of the young master, eat!" ”

"Thank you, young master!" Although the Xiliang soldiers' answers this time were still loud, they were rambling and very messy. Ma Chao knew they were starving.

Under the leadership of the captains of various departments, the Xiliang soldiers sat down in an orderly manner and began to gobble up.

Jia Xu walked over and said, "Young master, there are still some things that need to be inspected. ”

"What?"

Ma Chao followed Jia Xu down the parade platform, and a group of Confucian students lined up neatly under the stage.

As soon as they saw Ma Chao, all the Confucian scholars saluted.

Jia Xu said: "These people are the subordinates who will join the army and staff selected by Yang Yishan for the young master. ”

Ma Chao looked at these Confucian scholars and was greatly satisfied, now his Xiliang Army is more functional and the lineup is more powerful, which has changed the dilemma that he could only ask Jia Xu when he had something to do.

Ma Chao asked: "Who are the so-called subordinates of the army and staff officers?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "This matter was raised by Yang Yishan, and his subordinates are just assisting him." ”

Before Jia Xu's words were finished, Yang Fu couldn't wait to squeeze out of the crowd and said with a smile: "Brother Wenhe has won the award, without Brother Wenhe, it is impossible for Brother Wenhe to do this." ”

Ma Chao understands Yang Fu, he wants to get ahead too much.

Ma Chao said: "Okay, you can talk about it." ”

Pang De, Ma Dai and others all looked at Yang Fu with some curiosity to see what this rookie was capable of.

Yang Fu said: "The subordinates are based on the "Liutao Wang Yi", and these are set to join the army. Jiang Shangyan: Whoever raises troops and commanders, thinks that he will be killed, his life is in access, and he does not abide by a technique; Because they can be employed, they learn from their strengths, and change at any time, so as to be disciplined. Therefore, there will be seventy-two people with humeral wings to respond to the way of heaven. The number of preparations is like the law, the numerology is judged, the special ability is different, and everything is done.

"In addition to the 'heart', the subordinates also have:

There are five strategists, the main plan is safety, worrying about the budding, talking about ability, rewarding and punishing, awarding official positions, and deciding suspicions, whether it is possible or not.

"The three astronomical people, the main ephemeris, waiting for the atmosphere, pushing the time, testing the symbols, correcting the disaster, knowing the people's hearts to go to the opportunity.

"The location is favorable to the three people, the situation of the main three armies, and the news of the interests; Far and near are dangerous and easy, the water is dry and the mountains are blocked, and the geographical advantage is not lost.

"There are nine people in the art of war, who talk about similarities and differences, succeed or fail in action, concise weapons, and illegal stabbing.

"Four people will be given food, and the main food and storage will be carried out, and the grain will be channeled, so that the five grains will not be tired.

"The four of them, the main choice of materials, on the military revolution, galloping, I don't know why.

"There are three people in the drum banner, the main drum banner, the ears and eyes, the tricks, the false commands, the secret comings and goings, and the entry and exit like gods.

"There are four people, and the director is difficult, repairing ditches and barriers, so as to prepare for the defense.

"There are three people, the main one picks up the missing and makes up for it, and the guests should be even, discuss and talk, and eliminate the troubles.

"The three powerful men, the master is strange, different, unknowable, and infinitely changing.

"There are seven eyes and ears, and the Lord listens to words and sees changes, and looks at the affairs of the Quartet and the feelings in the army.

"The five minions, the main exaltation, the three armies, so that they can brave difficulties and attack sharply, without doubt.

"The four wings, the main reputation, shook the distance, shook the four realms, and weakened the enemy's heart.

"There are eight wanderers, the Lord serves the traitor and waits for change, opens and closes favors, watches the enemy's intentions, and thinks it is a spy.

"The two warlocks, the Lord is deceitful, relying on ghosts and gods to confuse the hearts of the people.

"The two monks are the main medicine for a hundred medicines, to cure gold sores and cure all diseases.

"The law counts two people, and the chief accountant will be in and out of the three army camp walls, food, and money."

After this tirade, Ma Chao listened to it with a big head, but Ma Chao still felt that Yang Fu had put in great effort, so he nodded in approval from time to time.

Yang Fu said with a smile: "The subordinates take care of the young master's innate wisdom and abnormality, the so-called 'heart', the master plots to respond, eliminate the changes, take charge of the plan, and protect the lives of the people, this is the responsibility of the young master, and the subordinates will no longer set it up." There are a total of five strategists, according to the habits of our dynasty, they are divided into five military divisions in the front and back, left and right, and now only the left military division sacrifices wine Jia Wen and his brother and subordinates. In addition, all the others who joined the army have been prepared, and most of them were selected and promoted by Jia Wen and his brother Cao Quan. ”

After hearing this, Ma Chao was greatly satisfied, and these tasks in charge of operations, propaganda, espionage, astronomy, geography, communications, surveying and mapping, engineering, medical affairs, and military quartermaster not only greatly liberated him, but also enabled the whole army to develop in a more systematic, institutionalized, and refined direction. These joining the army may not be as exhaustive as Jia Xu and Yang Fu, but they are Ma Chao's indispensable assistants, and they can provide more help to Ma Chao together.

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Wenhe, you have to be a rational official, and you have to be distracted to deploy the military for me, which is really hard." ”

Jia Xu leaned down slightly and said calmly: "The subordinates are the young master's left military division sacrificial wine, and this is a matter of duty. And this matter is thanks to Yishan's suggestion, otherwise my subordinates may not be able to remember this matter for a while. ”

Ma Chao also patted Yang Fu's shoulder and said, "You did a good job in this matter, even if I didn't look away!" ”

Yang Fu smiled slightly embarrassedly.

A slightly stumbling voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Young master, my subordinates also have something to report to you." ”

Ma Chao didn't have to think about it to know that it was Ma Jun, Ma Jun, as the first inventor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, had the only physical defect that he stammered and was in the period.

Despite this, none of the people present looked down on Ma Jun because of this, on the contrary, as soon as Ma Jun walked out of the crowd, everyone cast admiring glances at him. Because Ma Jun not only improved the stirrups, horseshoes and saddles, but also brought an improved version of the overturning and weaving machine to Liangzhou during the tenure of Gong Cao Pengshi. The overturned car can transport the water of the low river to the high place, which is very suitable for use in the terrain of many plateau mountains such as Liangzhou, and the engineer Cao Peng Yang Biao has ordered the whole territory to be used for manufacturing; The original silk loom had 60 feet, but Ma Jun's improved only 12 feet, so the people saved a lot of labor.

Such a talent, Ma Chao is naturally respected.

Ma Chao said: "Mr. Ma can speak." ”

Ma Jun was suddenly called "Mr.", slightly flattered, and said, "Please come with me, young master." ”

Ma Chao followed Ma Jun and walked next to a personal guard, and then Ma Chao found that his personal guard camp was very different today. The armor, scarf, uniforms, and weapons on each of the guards are very different from the past, as if they have been transformed by Ma Jun. And what made Ma Chao even more amazed was that the three thousand horsemen of the pro-guard battalion had all changed their appearance.
