After the Battle of Luoyang, the Ma family completely occupied all the areas of Sili: Liaohua, Zhoucang, Yang Feng, Liang Xing's cavalry and infantry corps, after being reorganized, they immediately went to the Tiger Prison and Bishui Pass, and held the two passes of the Ma family respectively. After that, the 100,000 Ma family army poured into Luoyang like a tide to hunt down the remnants of Han Xian and the large and small bandits entrenched in Luoyang. Two days later, when Dong Zhao delivered the battle report in the Luoyang area to Ma Chao, the Ma family has since become a super predator spanning two states and looking down on the Kanto.

Subsequently, Ma Chao was awarded the title. He made a promise, and sure enough, he used the number of heads of the enemy soldiers killed in the Battle of Luoyang that day as the standard of military merit, and canonized the generals under his command. But what made him angry and unwilling was that Zhao Yun, who participated in the campaign to pacify the thieves in Luoyang and was at the forefront of his achievements, still refused to accept the Ma family's honor. insisted on serving Tong Yuan in Chang'an as a guest general.

In desperation, Ma Chao had to canonize those meritorious generals first. And because the Ma family was in great strength at this time, Ma Chao was in the military attache under his command, above the Zhonglang general, and leveled (southeast, northwest) level, organized the corps to command the soldiers and horses, and arranged the deputy general to assist him. At present, the official positions of the Ma family generals are:

Feng Pang De was the general of Pingdong, leading a brigade of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, one of which was a regiment of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was the previous part of Pang De. The other two regiments of Xiliang soldiers and horses were naturally drawn and adjusted from the 60,000 troops. But in terms of weaponry, it is far inferior to the Xiliang elite iron cavalry before Pound. The reason for this is naturally because Ma Chao has to suspend the operation of equipping Ma Jiajun in order to cope with the three consecutive attacks of natural disasters next year.

Feng Huangyuan was the general of Yingyang Zhonglang, and Feng Ma Dai was the general of Dangkou Zhonglang, and was incorporated into the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Regiment, each leading soldiers and horses, and the entire Xiliang Iron Cavalry Regiment totaled 33,000 people in one division, stationed in Luoyang.

Feng Xu Huang was the general of Pingnan, and Li Yan was the deputy of General Zhaoyi, leading two battalions of heavy armored iron cavalry to defend Chang'an.

Feng Zhang Liao was the general of Pingxi, and Zhang Xiu was the deputy of the rebellious general, leading two battalions to be equipped with well-equipped Yanbei cavalry to defend Chang'an.

Feng Gaoshun was the general of Pingbei, and Wei Yan was the deputy of General Jianwei, leading a battalion of heavy armored infantry, and a battalion was trapped in the camp to defend Chang'an.

Feng Xu Rong was the lieutenant general of the protection army, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were the deputy generals, leading the first battalion of the reorganized Tiger Army, and the first battalion of the chariot raid army to defend Chang'an.

As for Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Yang Feng, and Liang Xing, they are still partial generals. However, the number of soldiers and horses under his command has doubled. Due to strategic needs, it has been stationed in two passes, namely Tiger Prison and Bishui.

The above-mentioned reorganization has been completed, with a total of more than 90,000 soldiers. Another 30,000 unorganized troops were trained and promoted by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun as reserve troops. In case of war, the Ministry of War will submit a transfer plan, and after Ma Chao's approval, the general will be appointed to lead the troops.

In this reorganization, Ma Chao spent a lot of thought. First of all, in terms of the establishment of the corps, Ma Chao has created a precedent for this era. However, due to the fact that at present, only the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Regiment has reached an indisputable scale, and the other corps, or because of geographical or other reasons, Ma Chao is still working hard to reorganize and improve.

But in any case, the matter of organizing the corps was the best way for Ma Chao to think of the best way to solve the factional disputes of his subordinate generals after careful consideration: it is not terrible to have factional disputes, but what is terrible is that the main point of factional disputes is not the merits and killing of the enemy, but the internal strife. After the establishment of the legion, as long as Ma Chao still pursues the way of governing the army led by military merits, the generals under his command will definitely become a howling field wolf in order to win honor for the legion.

As long as you can kill the enemy in battle, it is normal for the general to have a little anger. From now on, what Ma Chao is afraid of is not that they fight, but that they do not fight bravely........

But after the canonization order was announced, His Royal Highness, looking unhappy, finally stood up angrily before Ma Chao announced the next meeting.

"Lord, I don't accept it!" Wei Yan finally became angry and shouted at Ma Chao: "Why did a certain family kill six hundred and seventy-one people, but General Pang only killed six hundred and fifty-three, but his official position is two levels higher than that of a certain one!" ”

"Wei Yan!" Before Ma Chao could speak, after hearing this, Brother Ugly's face immediately turned hideous, and he came up and shouted: "Are you blaming the lord for unfairness?!" ”

For a while, the generals looked at Wei Yan one after another. Especially Li Yan, looking at Wei Yan's eyes, it was even more strange and suspicious: Li Yan and Wei Yan entered the Ma family together, so the relationship between the two was more familiar. From this, Li Yan learned that Wei Yan was under Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but he was only a few soldiers under the city order. And now he has become a general who controls more than 1,000 people, and his worth has increased several times for a while, and he even feels unfair to Ma Chao's reward. With such courage, Li Yan didn't know whether to say whether Wei Yan was fighting on the basis of reason or being greedy........

Most of the people in the hall are generally with Li Yan. Especially those veteran generals of the Ma family were even more annoyed by Wei Yan's lawless behavior. If it weren't for the straightforward personality of the ugly brother who took the lead in shouting, everyone would have scolded Wei Yan endlessly.

But Wei Yan endured everyone's angry eyes, gritted his teeth and knelt on top of the hall, Li Hei's face turned red due to anger and urgency, and his voice was high-pitched and sharp: "Lord! It's not that subordinates must compete for that position, but as you said before, rewards are based on military merit. Although the subordinates say that they have nothing to do, they just admit death. In the troubled world, those wine bags and rice bags from the big lords of the scholar clan are greedy for life and afraid of death, flies and dogs, but they are in high positions, and their subordinates are not satisfied! ”

After saying this, Wei Yan seemed to be out of the way, kowtowing vigorously, and continued: "My subordinates are in Jingzhou, and I have heard that the Ma family is heroic with military merits, and I have long admired it in my heart. Even if there is no shadow to look for, his subordinates are already ready to defect to the Ma family. But now, you're ....... Today, if you don't let your subordinates be convinced, your subordinates will be kneeling and dying here!! ”

"Presumptuous!" At this time, even Pang De couldn't avoid suspicion, so he stepped up and said, "Wei Yan, are you coercing the lord?!" How bold you are!! ”

But Ma Chao waved his hand to stop Pang De's actions-before, Ma Chao was still angry at Zhao Yun's refusal to join the Ma family, so his mind was not completely above the main hall-he slowly turned his head and looked carefully at Wei Yan's indescribable face, as if Wei Yan wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth and couldn't help sighing: Who said that Wei Yan was born with backbones?

People like Wei Yan, in Ma Chao's previous life, can only be said to be stunned and stunned to admit death. He has talent, responsibility, and principled goals in mind, but the only drawback is that he needs others to agree with his goals.

However, in ancient feudal society, what was needed was the self-sacrifice spirit of generals. If an angular general like Wei Yan is suppressed for a long time, he will naturally try his best to rebound to prove his existence. As a result, it gives people the impression of being overly honest and competitive. Even, at the last moment, he will risk the world's condemnation in order to stick to his goal.......

Zhuge Liang is a peer through the ages, but on the issue of Wei Yan, to be honest, he is not as good as Liu Bei. Liu Bei dared to appoint Wei Yan to guard Hanzhong, because he knew Wei Yan's ability and the goal in his heart, and concluded that Wei Yan would not turn against him.

And can he compare to the legend who sells straw sandals?

Ma Chao didn't think about this, he just stood up and walked in front of Wei Yan, who kept kowtowing so hard that blood was slowly oozing out of the wound on his forehead. Seeing him so persistent, he frowned, helped him up and said, "Wen Chang, you only saw the military feats of killing the enemy, but you ever thought about how many soldiers and horses you lost in that battle?" And how much did Ling Ming lose? ”

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, even if he insisted, he would not deny the fact that he was greedy for merit and rashly advanced, causing his soldiers to fall into the pit and die in vain, so he wanted to kneel down again to apologize. But Ma Chao held him up and said comfortingly: "It is indeed the tradition of the Ma family to kill the enemy and gain merit. But the Ma family is not just a war-loving prince who lives by slaughtering, the Ma family's struggle is for the well-being of the common people in the world, and for the next generation to have no more wars. And those soldiers who fought for us are also the lives of the common people, and their life and death will naturally be counted in the military merits........ So, do you think I'm still unfair? ”

"Lord!" Wei Yan raised his head, his eyes were red and swollen, and he choked up and said: "From today onwards, if there is any more doubt about the Ma family, five thunders will be thundered!" ”
