"Jiao Yao, the last general, pays homage to the Marquis of Beiliang." Jiao Yao bowed and saluted, his attitude was very respectful.

"Excuse me, General Jiao, what can I do?" Chen Yue said with a rather kind face.

After all, they had only met him a few times. Chenyue couldn't deny a general's ability just by meeting him a few times. What if he was a secretive master?

Jiao Yao said with a slightly nervous expression: "Yesterday, our battalion soldiers were patrolling outside the pass and found traces of a large group of cavalry far away from the Tianlang Plain."

After saying a few words, Jiao Yao, who was a bit bloated, raised his head and glanced at the extremely young and smiling Marquis of Beiliang in front of him.

Jiao Yao thought to himself: "The Marquis of Beiliang has been very gentle these few times I've met him, and he doesn't seem as scary as the rumors say. The rumors are probably exaggerated.

It turns out that Chen Yue was rumored to be a fierce warrior in the Youzhou Army, with a bravery that no man could match, and also a ruthless man who would kill the children of rich families at every turn.

"Is there any trace of the cavalry?" Chen Yue's eyes lit up and he looked at Chu Yucheng.

"General Jiao, this matter is not trivial, are you sure?" Chu Yucheng asked.

Jiao Yao nodded firmly: "You can't be wrong. According to the traces left by the march, there were at least seven or eight thousand cavalry!"

Jiao Yao was a little surprised when he heard the news reported by his subordinates. Could it be that there was going to be another war? So he hurriedly came to report.

"I know, thank you for your hard work, General Jiao. Let's go down and rest first." Chenyue smiled and waved.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Jiao Yao bowed and retreated from the city. He seemed to be relieved before leaving.

Chu Yucheng frowned: "If what General Jiao said is true, this cavalry is likely to be the prairie rangers who disappeared from outside Liangzhou Pass."

Chenyue placed one hand on the city wall made of gray-white stone bricks, looked up into the distance, and nodded in agreement: "It's very possible!"

"Then what measures should we take?" Chu Yucheng asked tentatively.

The spring breeze blew across the city, causing Chu Yucheng's white robe to sway slightly, and a brief silence fell between the two.

After a while, Chen Yue said: "Let the crossbowmen go out first and check the situation. The army will not move for the time being. We will train as usual and just be careful."

"No!" Chu Yucheng nodded and summoned a soldier to whisper a few instructions.

Seeing Chu Yucheng pass the military order, Chenyue waved his hand: "Let's go! Go to the training ground and have a look!"

Chu Yucheng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed Chen Yue who was leaving quickly.

Dozens of black-armored cavalrymen rushed out and headed straight for the martial arts field outside Tianlang Pass.

After a while, bursts of loud shouts reached Chenyue's ears.

I saw smoke and dust billowing in a large open space, full of noise, and a large number of right-cavalry soldiers wearing armor and running with wooden spears in their hands.

The neatly arranged cavalry formations sometimes change formations as they march, sometimes sprint at high speeds, and sometimes turn suddenly, which dazzles everyone watching.

The captains and captains transferred from the Liangzhou Army are taking command in the formation, teaching these Youzhou recruits, most of whom have never been on the battlefield, to familiarize themselves with various orders on the battlefield as soon as possible.

Chenyue reined in the reins and nodded with satisfaction: "The training was pretty good, but it's a pity that it lacks a bit of blood and murderous intent."

"When they go to the battlefield, it will happen naturally." Chu Yucheng said softly.

"Isn't it unreasonable to practice with wooden spears? The iron spears made by the Mohist family are much heavier than wooden ones. Training with wooden spears all the time may affect the soldiers' feel for using weapons." Chen Yue said slightly.

He asked, tilting his head in confusion.

The entire training method of the Beiliang frontier army was formulated by Chu Yucheng. Logically speaking, Chu Yucheng would not have thought of this, but he still chose wooden guns, so Chen Yue was a little confused.

Chu Yucheng said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. Large-scale cavalry training without running-in, it is easy to get confused during the march, and the formation is loose. Iron weapons can cause accidental injuries. In the first training, there were hundreds of cavalry."

A soldier will see blood. So for the time being, wooden spears are used to train the tacit understanding between the cavalry and the cavalry, as well as the cavalry and the war horses. When you get to the point of assassination, you will naturally switch to iron spears."

"It makes sense!" Chen Yue nodded with sudden realization, and said with a smile: "I said it's right to leave the training to you, haha."

Chu Yucheng raised his eyebrows proudly, without commenting.

The group of people watched and commented as they walked, and the two military commanders from Beiliang Road passed quietly outside the crowd without attracting anyone's attention.

When they came to a corner, the two saw Shi Tiangong, the head coach of the Sirius Army.

The old general was staring straight ahead. There were more than a hundred knights in the open space in front, each wearing a thin breastplate, with bare arms, and holding a wooden gun, fighting each other.

"Old General, what are you doing?" Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng got off their horses and walked over with smiles.

Shi Tiangong turned his head in surprise: "General Chen, General Chu, why are you here?"

"I have nothing to do, let me take a look!" Chen Yue said with a smile.

Shi Tiangong smiled, pointed at the figure in front of him and said: "These are the elite soldiers selected from the Tianlang Army. They are practicing their horsemanship skills. I plan to promote those who are outstanding to fill the vacancies in the army."

"Oh? Then I'll take a look too." Chen Yue looked up curiously and looked ahead.

I saw more than a hundred knights charging at each other, one on one, all of them were tall and strong, and they looked like warriors at first glance.

Suddenly, a tall figure caught Chen Yue's attention.

The big man defeated several cavalrymen one after another, and almost always defeated the enemy with one move, without any loss of water between the moves.

After watching for a while, Chen Yue couldn't help but sigh: "A good soldier should be the enemy of ten thousand people!"

Shi Tiangong pointed at the big man: "Is General Chen talking about that boy?"

"Has the old general noticed it too?" Chen Yue nodded and asked.

"Haha." The old general laughed: "Such a fierce man, I am not blind, how could I not see him?"

Chu Yucheng was attracted by the conversation and laughter between the two. He looked in the direction of Shi Tiangong's finger and said with some surprise: "I'm afraid this guy can compare with Xue Meng."

Among the Chenyue Army, the most burly among the generals must be Xue Meng.

Shi Tiangong said: "This boy's name is Xiang Jian. He was born as a blacksmith. He has gained good strength through training. He has not fought in a war yet. Logically speaking, he should not be placed in the Sirius Army. But I think he is a good prospect, so I specially saved points.

Selfishly, I left him in the Sirius Army."

His words were filled with relief, and Shi Tiangong was obviously very happy to have such a strong soldier under his command.

Everyone stopped and watched for a while. Gradually, the knights on the field were picked off their horses one by one. In the end, only a tired and panting Xiang Jian was left sitting on the horse.

The man named Xiang Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the audience, and shouted: "Who else is there!"
