Why King Ye Zhao Yan was so indulgent to Chu Yujia was nothing more than two reasons.

One of them was because of his guilt for Chu Qianwen, and there was no need to elaborate on the relationship between King Ye Zhao Yan and Chu Qianwen, but he personally sent his brother to the guillotine, and even killed this brother's relatives.

He has only this one son in this world, so how can he not love this brother's son in every way?

Second, Zhao Yan, the king of Ye, didn't want Chu Yujia to return to the northwest alone, let alone let him get out of his control.

When a man becomes an adult, most of his physical and physical peaks are between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five, while the peak of a soldier can last at least ten or even twenty years, except for the one-year recruit period when he has just enlisted in the army.

It is said that veterans oil veterans oil, soldiers are not necessarily younger the better, in many cases, the older the soldiers, the more vital they can play on the battlefield.

Three years is not short, but it is not long, the Northwest Army established by Chu Qianwen has been full of more than 20 years, and even if there is, they have become generals like Zhuang Jiade.

And what about the others?

Even after three years, he is still an old pawn who can go to the battlefield with a knife, which can be seen from Yan Tianrui and a group of old pawns who followed Chu Yujia to the capital of Qi State.

And the 1,000 veterans brought back by Yan Tianrui are just the tip of the iceberg, when Chu Qianwen was killed, nearly 100,000 Northwest Army went to five or six, and some of the veterans who left the army even if they were transferred, and now the Northwest veterans who can serve in the armies of Ye State, throw away the war losses over the years, there are only a few more than 10,000 people left.

To put it in an unkind way, if Chu Yujia is under the order of the bright and bright, there will definitely be tens of thousands of veterans from the northwest who come to vote, maybe they will not stay in the army for too long, but it is definitely enough to participate in a few battles and regain the fame of this army.

This is the reason why King Ye Zhao Yan is jealous of Chu Yujia, and it is also the reason why he has to reuse Chu Yujia.

Under the leadership of Zhuang Jiade, Chu Yujia rarely visited the military camp and watched the training of the soldiers.

After the completion of the barracks, he came only a handful of times, which also gave people the illusion that he was careless about military affairs and everything.

However, Chu Yujia is not in the army, and the affairs of the generals are arranged very properly, Zhuang Jiade is responsible for the logistics of the soldiers' lives, Yan Tianrui and Xu Gaoda are responsible for the training, and the promotion and screening on weekdays are also handed over to Chu Yujia after Zhuang Jiade selects centurions or thousand-sized candidates in the army.

After Chu Yujia inquired about this person's daily situation from Xu Gaoda and Yan Tianrui, he decided whether to promote him.

The discipline of the Northwest Army is strict, and in this kind of military discipline, Chu Yujia did not reduce any items, but added a lot under Meng Feihang's emphasis.

"By the way, that kid from Feihang, what are you doing all this time?"

Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuang Jiade and said, "I don't seem to have seen him for a long time." ”

"He's not doing it yet, what......"

It seemed that the word was very awkward, and it took a long time for Zhuang Jiade to say: "What is it called an invention?" ”

"Invention?"

Chu Yujia chuckled and said, "Although Feihang is a bit of a god, he can indeed bring a lot of whimsical things. ”

He couldn't help but think of the ** wine jar before, which brought them a lot of help when they attacked the capital of Qi State.

At that time, he thought that if this kind of thing could be mass-produced, then in the future, in the war, the damage to the enemy would be too great.

"Definitely. ”

Zhuang Jiade lowered his head and chuckled: "He is now locked in a military tent, and he is engaged in those inventions every day, there are many things in it that I can't understand, and I can't understand what he says, so I won't care about him later." ”

"Hahaha. ”

Chu Yujia looked up and laughed: "Then you take me to have a look, I also want to know what this kid has been doing recently." ”

Meng Feihang's military tent was in the corner of the barracks, and a rather large empty field was planned, and before a few people could get closer, they heard an earth-shattering loud noise, and the ground trembled several times.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Meng Feihang, who was standing on the edge of the empty field, shaking his head and walking towards the military tent, as if he was very dissatisfied with what he had invented.

Seeing this, Chu Yujia stepped forward and asked with a smile, "My Master Meng, what are you doing here?"

"Don't bother me, I'm bothered. ”

Meng Feihang replied angrily, and didn't pay attention to Chu Yujia, and walked into the Chinese army's tent, which can be described as extremely cold, and even his own generals didn't care.

But several people are also accustomed to this kind of thing, and after walking into the Zhongjun tent together, Chu Yujia didn't feel anything, Xiao Yao'er was sucked by the things placed on the left and right, and looked left and right, and her eyes were almost insufficient.

The things placed in Meng Feihang's Chinese military tent are all models of things he has figured out on weekdays, and they are dozens of times smaller according to their own proportions.

Chu Yujia casually picked up something like a slingshot from the table, played with it a few times in his hand, handed it to Xiao Yao'er next to him, looked up and said, "What are you kid doing?"

Meng Feihang, who was scribbling on the table, frowned and said, "Put my things down, that thing is a very important model." ”

"What's wrong with playing with children?"

Chu Yujia said disapprerovitically: "Besides, you are not dead yet, you are doing one." ”

"You don't know how long it takes me to make this thing. ”

Meng Feihang's face was full of sadness, and he said: "It's true that I'm a science and engineering man, but I'm not an engineer, I know a lot of things, but I can't do it." ”

"Engineer?"

"Polytechnic man?"

Chu Yujia looked at Meng Feihang with an inexplicable face.

Meng Feihang shook his head helplessly, and said, "It's a craftsman, a craftsman with very ingenious skills, I need a lot of such people now, can you find it?"

Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you want so many craftsmen?"

"Of course it's making things. ”

Meng Feihang rolled his eyes, grabbed a piece of paper from the table, brought it to Chu Yujia, and said, "See, this thing is called a trebuchet, that is, the one your daughter is holding in her hand." ”

"This thing?"

Chu Yujia glanced at the little guy who was playing with the stones and said, "What's the use of this thing?"

"Don't underestimate this thing. ”

Meng Feihang explained: "After my consideration, in your era, the siege equipment is very backward, and during the siege war, you can only blindly use the ladder to climb the city wall or hold the big tree stump to hit the city gate, which is the most stupid way in itself. ”

Meng Feihang casually took another cart like a slingshot, and said: "This is an improved version of the trebuchet that your daughter is holding, let me tell you, after magnifying this thing dozens of times, it can throw hundreds of catties of stones hundreds of steps away." ”

"Hundreds of pounds of stones, thrown hundreds of steps away?"

Chu Yujia was a little dumbfounded, and Zhuang Jiade next to him was also a little dumbfounded, and at this time, the two looked at Meng Feihang like fools.

But in Meng Feihang's heart, these two people were fools, and he sighed helplessly and said: "Now I tell you that you don't understand, I am short of craftsmen now, and I ask if you can find it." ”

Chu Yujia came back to his senses, he knew that Meng Feihang had a lot of wonderful ideas, and he also knew that this person was extraordinary, so he asked: "That's no problem, I'll go to the city and find you a few carpenters to come back." ”

"It's not just carpenters. ”

"Huh?"

"There are also blacksmiths, stonemasons, forgers, smelters, and if possible, I would like you to set up a department for me, or a battalion, under my command, in which there is no need for soldiers who can fight, only these craftsmen. ”

"Hehe......"

Chu Yujia smiled bitterly and said, "I can't give you these things now, but they can be put on the agenda." ”

"No, you have to give it to me. ”

Meng Feihang put the things in his hand on the table and said: "These things are very important to us, only with these things, I can rest assured to go to the northwest with you." ”

Seeing Meng Feihang's tough attitude, Chu Yujia couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and said, "Okay, I promise you, I'll find these craftsmen for you now, okay?"

"That's not going to work, you still have to give me the camp number. ”

Meng Feihang said inch by inch: "And the soldiers in this battalion must be distinguished from other soldiers, no matter what the military salary is, it must be calculated by me." ”

Seeing this, Zhuang Jiade next to him was also a little crying and laughing, and said: "Mr. Meng, setting up a camp number is not such a simple matter, and it requires several processes." ”

"What are the several processes, you don't know about me?"

Meng Feihang glanced at Zhuang Jiade and said: "The establishment of a battalion number in this Northwest Army is a matter of one sentence, and who else should you apply for?"

That's true.

Meng Feihang looked up at Chu Yujia and said, "Just say whether you give it or not." ”

"Give, can you not give?"

Chu Yujia also had nothing to say to Meng Feihang, and said: "I'll give you this camp number, and I'll help you find it, but you have to think about the name of this camp number, I don't have that idle time." ”

"I don't need you, I've thought about it a long time ago. ”

Meng Feihang smiled and said: "It's called the ordnance battalion, in the future, you will be responsible for leading people to charge and kill in front, and I will be responsible for giving you the most resilient and sharp knife, the most lethal weapon, and the siege equipment that can minimize casualties." ”

"With your words, even if the nose I touched today was not in vain. ”

Chu Yujia waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense with you, I'll go first." ”

When the words fell, Chu Yujia took Xiao Yao'er and turned to leave, and Xiao Yao'er put the slingshot in her hand on the table with some reluctance.

Seeing this, Meng Feihang didn't know whether to be unbearable or to express his gratitude to Chu Yujia, so he took a few more wooden carts from the table and stuffed them to Xiao Yao'er.

Xiao Yao'er glanced up at him, and before Yao'er could speak, Meng Feihang said with a smile: "Take it, Uncle gave it to you." ”

Only then did Xiao Yao'er hold the wooden cart and keep up with her father's footsteps.

Chu Yujia glanced back at Meng Feihang, and the words "You are sensible" were clearly written in his eyes.
