Chapter 085: Hot Potato

Ten thousand-commanders.

Guo Juboa, He Yilong, Guan Yun, Zhang Chen, Zhang Qi, Jin Hao, Lv Kuang. These are all old people. The rest are newly promoted. They are Wang Tong, Liu Yao, and Li Chang. These three people are all veterans, and before they retired, they had already achieved 500 in the border army, and they also led soldiers and led teams, so they were very experienced.

The ten thousand-man teams all adopted the form of mixing Qin and barbarians, and directly digested most of the barbarians captured this time. This time, the number of barbarian prisoners was quite large, more than 3,000 in total. Therefore, basically the ratio of Qin to barbarians in every thousand-person team is about seven to three. Of course, the proportion in some thousand-person teams is higher, because there were also many barbarians among the old people before. However, those barbarians have actually been almost assimilated, and if you don't discern carefully, you can't actually see anything.

At the same time that the 10,000-person team was reorganized, Panlongwei was also equipped with 1,000 people. Here, in addition to the old man before, a group of people from the escort team from Huangsha City have also been transferred to join in this time, and the rest are the veterans who performed better in this battle.

The commander of Panlongwei is still Jin Tian, because the number of people has increased and the team has expanded, Ma Shuo has promoted two more veterans to serve as the deputy commander of Panlongwei. These two people are Feng Chunhui and Zhang Jinyang, both of whom are the best among the veterans, and their own combat effectiveness is also very high, and they have reached the level of middle-level samurai.

As a result, the number of men and horses under Ma Shuo's command has reached 11,000 at this time. Of course, this is still formal. For the rest, there are still a lot of guards in Panlongling and the secret base, but Ma Shuo is a little unclear about how many people there are now. Because the number of the Guardian Army is dynamic, the number of Guardian Army is increasing as more and more homeless people continue to join the cottage.

This time, the 10,000-strong team was expanded, and all the guards brought by He Yilong were reorganized into it. Therefore, the strength of the overall guard army may decline to a certain extent in a short period of time.

After the reorganization of the team, although the number of people increased, the overall combat effectiveness actually decreased. All the thousand-man teams are newly formed, and the proficiency and tacit understanding between the members need to be further run-in and improved. Therefore, after reorganizing the team, Ma Shuo did not rush to pull the team to Zhenmanguan, but decided to spend a period of time training first.

Of course, Ma Shuo didn't have a special place for these 10,000 people. Therefore, after discussing with the ten commanders, he decided to adopt a decentralized and actual combat training method. That is, the ten thousand-person teams are divided into ten groups, and each thousand-person team is responsible for the task of suppressing bandits in one direction, and uses the bandits to sharpen the team and promote the rapid improvement of the team.

What Ma Shuo left behind by himself, in addition to the 1,000 people of Panlongwei, there were also Qi Jing's 100 women's army.

At this time, what gave Ma Shuo the most headache was Wan'er's girl, because from Li Mu, he finally knew Wan'er's identity. In private, when Li Mu finally saw Wan'er's face without covering, he was really shocked. It was speculation before, but now it is certain.

Wan'er is the ninth princess of Great Qin, the daughter of Qin Zheng, the king of Great Qin, and the most favored daughter. As the son of the general of the Zhenbarian Army, Li Mu is of course qualified to meet these royal children. Although he may not be familiar with every royal child, he can't say anything about a particularly favored royal child like the Ninth Princess.

Li Mu was originally going to take Wan'er away directly, because he felt that it must be dangerous for Wan'er to follow Ma Shuo. However, he didn't expect that Wan'er was in a state of amnesia at this time, completely forgetting who she was, and naturally she wouldn't know Li Mu. In this case, of course, Wan'er would not go with a stranger.

Wan'er categorically refused, and Li Mu couldn't force it, so she had to privately tell Ma Shuo to ensure Wan'er's safety, and told Ma Shuo's identity about Wan'er's identity. When he learned Wan'er's identity, Ma Shuo felt that what he had in his hand was a hot potato.

Not only that, Ma Shuo couldn't let Wan'er know about this, let alone tell anyone else. Therefore, at any time in the future, Ma Shuo let Wan'er, the girl, follow her at any time, and let Qi Jing follow her all the time at night.

In private, although Ma Shuo did not tell Qi Jing Wan'er's identity, he specifically explained that Qi Jing must pay attention to Wan'er's safety. Although Qi Jing didn't know why Ma Shuo's attention to Wan'er had suddenly increased a lot, as a young lady who came out of the door, she could still feel a thing or two from Ma Shuo's words.

However, Ma Shuo did not completely change his plan because of Wan'er. Those thousand-strong teams still dispersed according to the plan, and he himself took Panlongwei and a group of women's troops to the cottage in Panlongling.

I've been out for so long, I have to go home to see my mother.

The first cadre and others were all cavalry, and the speed was naturally much faster, and it took only three days on the road before Ma Shuo returned to the cottage. Back at the cottage, Ma Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief and could finally take a good rest.

This time, Ma Shuo did have a good rest for three days, and he didn't think about anything at all.

Three days later, Ma Shuo, who was in good spirits, found Bai Xuan.

"My lord, what a good harvest! Haha, what a bumper harvest! As soon as he saw Ma Shuo, Bai Xuan shouted excitedly. During these days, in order to raise logistics materials, Bai Xuan almost turned white. Fortunately, the autumn harvest is finally over.

With the help of Arima Shuo's suggestion of irrigation methods, and the fact that the reclaimed wasteland is indeed fertile, this autumn harvest is actually a rare harvest. Hearing Bai Xuan's report, Ma Shuo also became interested, he had been outside all this time, and he paid a little less attention to the affairs in the cottage.

"Bai Junshi, accompany me to the field to have a look!" Ma Shuo simply asked Bai Xuan to take him to the ground to see for himself. Ma Shuo's request, Bai Xuan naturally readily agreed. It's just that when Ma Shuo came out, Wan'er's tail also followed on time. This girl, I don't know where she is staying, when Ma Shuo is in the cottage, she will not appear near Ma Shuo. However, as soon as Ma Shuo goes out, she will appear by Ma Shuo's side on time.

The reclaimed wasteland is on the West Mountain, and the location of the West Mountain is on the west side of the cottage, which also belongs to Panlong Ridge. After this period of hard work, nearly 10,000 acres of wasteland have been reclaimed.

At this time, it is the time when the crops are ripe, and the eyes are full of gold, and the joy of harvest is exuded everywhere. Harvesting has been completed in many places, and the harvested crops are neatly stacked on the makeshift grain fields, some of whom are busy threshing, while others are busy transporting the fallen grains to another field for drying.

"Bai Junshi, good job!"
