After the rebels retreated, a big party was held in Chencangli. Although it was a cold winter season, it could not resist everyone's enthusiasm. After the celebration banquet, Gao Fei went to visit Fu Xie and Gai Xun in person.
Fu Xie and Gai Xun were discussing how to write a successful report to the court. When they saw Gao Fei arriving, they greeted him together and said in unison: "The Marquis is here in person. I am sorry for not being able to welcome him from afar. Please forgive me."
.”
"You two adults, you don't have to be so polite. I'm here to ask you two adults, do you know when General Huangfu's army will arrive?" Since Gao Fei has made up his mind to remove more than a thousand people from the army as soldiers,
His private soldiers naturally wanted to know the specific time of the arrival of the counter-rebel troops, so that Lu Heng could make careful arrangements.
Gai Xun said: "It will take a month at the fastest. What, is the Marquis anxious to go with General Huangfu to quell the rebellion?"
Fu Xie smiled and said: "Master Marquis, there is no need to be so anxious. Now the Marquis has resisted the rebel army of 100,000 with only a few thousand people. I have not yet reported this credit to the imperial court. If I finish writing it and send it out today,
If so, in half a month, the Marquis will be able to receive rewards for his meritorious service. When the cavalry general's troops arrive, won't the Marquis be able to perform meritorious service again?"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Haha, you two adults are right. But according to the normal itinerary of the Han army, it won't take a month to get from Heluo to Sanfu, right?"
Gai Xun said: "The Marquis is also someone who has led troops and fought in battles. Don't you understand the principle that soldiers and horses should go ahead with food and grass before they move? One hundred thousand elite troops are easy to mobilize, but some preparations must be made in terms of food, grass and soldiers' pay.
If there is no food, grass, and soldiers’ pay, even if the army reaches Sanfu, wouldn’t it mean that they will starve to death?”
After Gao Fei heard this, he understood that what is fought in a war is national power, and launching a war consumes a huge amount of national power. He patted his head and chuckled: "I was confused for a while, but I forgot about this.
I wonder if you two adults have finished writing the good news?"
Fu Xie said: "It's almost done. Just keep brewing. The Marquis has made great contributions this time. I'm afraid Your Majesty will add one or two thousand households to the Marquis."
Gao Fei said: "The two adults are also indispensable. I don't dare to take credit alone. I have to ask the two adults to report truthfully. Then I won't disturb the two adults to write the victory report. I'll take my leave!"
"Master Hou, go slowly!" Fu Xie and Gai Xun bowed at the same time.
In the next few days, a "plague" suddenly appeared in Chencang, and people continued to be infected. This matter was naturally no small matter, and the military doctors were helpless. Gao Fei ordered all the two thousand infected people to move to the west side of Chencang
In the mountains, Gao Fei sent people to take strict care of him. After a few days, all those two thousand people "died". Although the plague was said to be under control, Gao Fei still took him with him just in case, just in case.
He went to deal with the aftermath of the incident, included the personnel in the list of those who died in the battle, and received Anjia Fei from Fu Xie.
On the first day of October, it snowed heavily.
The mountains near Chencang are covered with a thick layer of snow. Fifty miles northwest of Chencang City, there is the stretching Wuyue Mountain. Wuyue Mountain is located at the junction of Youfufeng, Hanyang and Wudu counties. It is a vast area with sparsely populated areas.
There are many ridges and few fields. The residents in the mountains had already migrated to the Chang'an area before the Liangzhou rebels invaded Sanfu. Coupled with the heavy snowfall in the middle of winter, it was even more sparsely populated. For such a big mountain, it is simply impossible to hide two thousand private soldiers.
It's a no brainer.
Gao Fei stepped on the knee-deep snow, walking slowly in the mountains with Zhao Yun and Lu Heng step by step. He could still faintly hear the shouts of the soldiers, and a smile appeared on his face.
Lu Heng followed behind Gao Fei, admiring the beautiful snow scene, and said to Gao Fei: "Master Hou, how did you find out that there is a large open space here?"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Do you still remember that the day after I arrived in Chencang, I took Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan out to inspect the terrain? It was discovered that day. It was early autumn, the maple leaves in the mountains were red, and the scenery was beautiful, so I
I went hiking with Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, and after walking for a while, I suddenly discovered that there was a cave in the mountain, so I secretly made a note of this place."
Lu Hengdao: "The Marquis is really clever. This way, everything is foolproof. The method that my subordinates suggested before to transform soldiers into common people is not as safe as the method proposed by the Marquis."
"Well, I was also afraid of running into trouble. After all, they are all dead now. If they were discovered, wouldn't they become fake corpses? So I thought about it and decided to hide them temporarily.
In the mountains, and can be trained, it will take at least a few months to go from Huangfu Song to Chencang, and then from Chencang to pacify Liangzhou. As long as this private soldier can train here with peace of mind, in a few months, he will definitely be able to become a general.
An elite force."
"Master Hou is brilliant!"
The group of people gradually walked towards the mountain, getting closer and closer to the source of the sound. When everyone finally climbed halfway up the mountain, their vision suddenly opened up, and they saw a huge flat land halfway up the mountain.
It is almost five miles in radius, enough to accommodate two thousand soldiers, and it is more than adequate.
Behind this clearing is a steep mountain path that towers into the clouds. You can reach the top by continuing to climb up the mountain path. This is the only clearing on the entire mountain that is the flattest, and there is also a less steep slope to the north.
There are tracts of woods above. In front of the woods are several abandoned wooden houses. The original residents have long since disappeared. There are also some habitable caves near the broken wall. It is really a natural place for military training.
As soon as Gao Fei, Lu Heng, and Zhao Yun arrived at the open space, they saw two thousand soldiers divided into ten teams, including Li Wenhou, Pang De, Hua Xiong, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, Bian Xi, and Fei An.
, Pei Yuanshao, and Xia Houlan each led a team and conducted different physical training for the soldiers. Each team had two hundred people, and the ten commanders were all personally selected by Gao Fei. He wanted to build this private army.
To become an ancient version of the special forces, they can not only fight on horseback, but also on land and in mountains. In the future, they must be trained to be familiar with water and become elites in all aspects of horse warfare, infantry warfare, and water warfare.
When everyone saw Gao Fei and others coming, they stopped in a hurry, gathered together, and bowed respectfully to Gao Fei: "See you, Lord Marquis!"
Gao Fei walked from the front to the end of the queue like a general. After inspecting this group of carefully selected soldiers, he said with satisfaction: "From today on, your names will no longer be on the roster of the Han army."
, From now on, you are truly the living dead. However, your military pay remains the same as before, and it is twice that of the original Han army. Among you are my descendants and fellow countrymen in Xiangwu, as well as saber-swordsmen and officers and soldiers.
, No matter where you come from in the future, I just want you to remember that from now on, your army will only have one name, and that is Feiyu!"
"Feiyu! Feiyu! Feiyu!" Two thousand soldiers raised their arms and shouted in unison.
In addition to selecting people who were all skilled in bow and horse, Gao Fei also paid attention to their wishes. He spent almost six days questioning the two thousand people in front of him one by one, and clearly told them that they would become his private soldiers.
If you are willing, just stay. If you don't want to, don't force it. In the end, all two thousand people agreed. So Gao Fei hired him at a price twice that of a normal Han soldier, and made everyone take a unified oath.
Be loyal to Gao Fei your whole life.
After all the preparations were done, Gao Fei moved them all to the mountain and selected ten people including Li Wenhou, Pang De, Hua Xiong, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, Bian Xi, Fei An, Pei Yuanshao and Xia Houlan for this team.
The commander of the troops was given official positions according to the establishment of the Han army, and the two thousand people were divided into five divisions, with each division having 400 men. A military commander was set up, with five men, namely Li Wenhou, Pang De, Hua Xiong, Liao Hua and Guan Hai.
The marquis concurrently served as army commanders, and Zhou Cang, Bian Xi, Fei An, Pei Yuanshao and Xiahou Lan were appointed as military marquises. As for the garrison, captain, chief, corps commander, etc., they were elected by the soldiers, and everything was done according to the soldiers.
The familiar formation of the Han army.
Gao Fei thought about it for a while, and then used the word "Fei Yu" to officially give a designation to this unit that was only loyal to him. The designation was of course taken from Gao Fei's flying feather.
The word "yu" is the same as Ziyu's word "yu". This is equivalent to letting these soldiers completely understand that they are their own private army.
In addition, Gao Fei also asked Lu Heng to be the chief bookkeeper, managing money, food, weapons, equipment and other logistical matters. As for Zhao Yun, he had no intention of giving Zhao Yun any position and only stayed with him.
A personal bodyguard who also serves as the unit's martial arts advisor.
Now that he saw the newly created Feiyu troops in front of him, his happiness could not be described in words. In order to better train this troops, he started the military training subjects of the current troops and spent three days in this mountain.
During his time, he built a training base, climbing over walls, crossing single-plank bridges, crawling forward, etc. As long as he saw the physical training projects for soldiers on TV, he built them here with his own wisdom.
Today is the first day of formal training for this unit. Gao Fei personally came to give the unit a designation, and together with Zhao Yun and Lu Heng, he brought the settlement allowance he received from Fu Xie. For the sake of fairness, he also
I spent an extra portion and gave everyone 10,000 yuan as a reward, including settlement expenses and meeting gifts, all of which were treated equally.
Seeing such a fighting force in front of him, Gao Fei truly felt the feeling of being a general for the first time. He shouted to the two thousand soldiers in front of him: "Feiyu's soldiers, these few months
During the time, I will leave you to practice your skills hard in this mountain for the time being. As long as I have time, I will come to train with you in person. Although the weapons and equipment are not very uniform now, please don't worry. In a month's time,
, I will gather everything together for you.”
"My lord is mighty! My lord is mighty!"
Gao Fei smiled and then asked Lu Heng to distribute the rewards to these soldiers. After the rewards were distributed, he began to conduct physical training with this group of soldiers to show his determination to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Originally, this group of people
He has high prestige in his heart, and now he is even more loved by this group of people. After training, Gao Fei also did not forget to tell them jokes, tell them Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-six Stratagems, and tell the legends of ghosts, gods and demons, so that the soldiers
I felt his affinity even more.
In the evening, Gao Fei took Zhao Yun and Lu Heng down the mountain and rushed back to Chencang as quickly as possible. After all, Chencang still needed him to guard, and he also had to try to get some weapons and equipment from the Han army.
