"Brother Fengxiao, I have the courage to invite you to a certain military camp to have a look, I don't know if you are willing." Of course, Ye Chen would not let go of this great talent, and wanted to show him his strength to see if he could make him work.

"I don't know how many people Brother Ye brought over."

"Eight thousand."

"How many are like these armorers?" Guo Jia said as he pointed to several guard battalions on the side.

Ye Chen looked at Guo Jia with his eyes, and said simply but firmly: "Eight thousand." ”

Although there are only two words, it gives Guo Jia a very shocking feeling, eight thousand warriors like this, how strong is that? Does this big man have an army that can be compared?

Guo Jia is not a person without vision, of course, he saw the power of these soldiers, and at first he thought that it was just Ye Chen's personal guard, and after special training, he selected them.

Now Ye Chen told him that all his armies were like this, and these people were just ordinary people, how shocking was this.

Ye Chen saw Guo Jia's face change slightly, and then said, "It's all cavalry. ”

Ye Chen broke another bombshell news to Guo Jia, and Guo Jia couldn't help but scream.

"Seriously!"

"Seriously, there are 500 people who came to Yingyin this time, and the rest are waiting outside the city, Feng Xiao can go with me to have a look."

"Let's go."

Guo Jia can't wait, cavalry and infantry are not the same concept at all, cavalry's mobility, attack power, and in special circumstances have a major role, not infantry can compare.

Seeing that Guo Jia was so anxious, Ye Chen was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that there was hope for recruitment.

A few people went out of the city, and in an open space two miles after leaving the city, the rest of the guard battalion was waiting, and when they saw Ye Chen and them coming back, they immediately formed a team.

After a while, the five hundred guard battalions were fully manned, arranged neatly, all with their heads held high, their momentum high, and they exuded a solemn aura all over their bodies, and they knew at a glance that they were all elite soldiers of a hundred battles.

Guo Jia was very excited, if Ye Chen really had such eight thousand warriors, then he would definitely be the strongest combat force at the moment, seeing such a mighty five hundred soldiers, Guo Jia was very confident in Ye Chen.

The guard battalion gave a horse to Guo Jia and let Guo Jia ride alone, originally Ye Chen planned to go out for about three days, but now that Guo Jia is here, what is more important than recruiting Guo Jia, so Ye Chen plans to go back in advance.

Riding all the way, because of taking care of Guo Jia's speed, the guard battalion did not ride a horse and galloped, although Guo Jia learned the six arts of a gentleman and could ride a horse, but it was definitely much inferior to the guard battalion.

Ye Chen and his party returned to their barracks very late.

After entering Ye Chen's military camp, Guo Jia observed very carefully, and he found that the entire military camp was well defended, and there were several sentry guards in the open and in the dark, and Ye Chen really didn't lie to him, the soldiers here were really five hundred soldiers like he brought.

The barracks are well arranged, the soldiers are on duty seriously, not to mention that everyone is well-trained, and to say that this body is well-equipped, it is not comparable to any army now. Guo Jia couldn't help but think, could it be that this Ye Chen knew about this situation a few years ago, and then started to lay out at that time?

Otherwise, this Yellow Turban Rebellion has just started for more than a month, what kind of army can he pull out, although he has long heard that he has defeated Wuhuan in Yechen in Liaodong, and there are bandits everywhere, but if he didn't know that there was such a situation, or he had been preparing to rebel for a long time, so he trained the sergeants, otherwise how could he explain all this.

But Guo Jia doesn't care about these, if you want to rebel now, it is indeed a good time to plan well, so now that the world is in chaos, Guo Jia thinks that if the time is ripe, it is a good idea to rebel and replace it.

What Guo Jia cares about is whether Ye Chen has this condition and potential if he is a force, and now it seems that Ye Chen is definitely the best choice, the difference is that Ye Chen's territory is too small, according to the news, he only controls a remote small county, but Ye Chen has this power, meritorious service is not a problem, and he has a very good relationship with the eunuch Zhang Rang, if he wants to obtain a piece of territory, it is also a matter of hand.

In this way, Ye Chen already had all the conditions to become a faction, and after this big battle, he could take advantage of the situation.

Ye Chen settled Guo Jia in the camp, he was not in a hurry to recruit him, after arriving at the camp, let him observe carefully, and think about it, if this can't be kept, then there is no need to force it again.

Early the next morning, the escort battalion began training at the appointed time, and although it was wartime, there would be no high-intensity training, and there would be no long-distance running, but the necessary warm-up training was still necessary.

In the morning, Guo Jia was woken up by the sound of shouting and neat steps. He came out of the tent to see, except for some people, the rest of the soldiers began to practice.

Their steps were neat, their movements were uniform, and the soldiers were full of energy and high morale.

Guo Jia has never seen such an elite division, not to mention the murderous aura exuded by his body, just say that the movements can be so neat and uniform, it is not something that can be done in a short period of training.

Guo Jia watched them train carefully, everyone was very serious and very hardworking, and the generals at all levels didn't have to care about it, they would do it well.

After watching their training, Guo Jia spoke very highly of them, this is definitely an army that is forbidden by order, and this is often more important than anything else in marching and fighting.

"Brother Ye, do you train like this every day?" When the escort camp training was over, Guo Jia asked Ye Chen.

"It depends on the situation, when there is a war, most of them train like this, if there is no war, then it is a whole day of training, and in the morning and evening, you have to put on armor and bring weapons for a ten-mile run."

"Can the soldiers withstand such training?"

"Haha, of course you can, but it's quite expensive, and the fighters eat a lot, and they must have enough meat every day.

”

"With such 8,000 people, plus horses, the cost is not huge, can the Ye family afford it?"

"This cost is indeed quite large, just this more than 10,000 troops, hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent before and after, but I think it is worth it to train them."

"More than ten thousand, not eight thousand?" Guo Jia asked suspiciously.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yes, there are a total of fifteen thousand troops like this, except for five hundred in Luoyang, the rest are in Liaodong to watch their families." By the way, there are still a thousand trolls not counted. ”

Guo Jia's doubts became more and more, and he felt that he still knew too little.

"Trolls? In that place in Liaodong, there is a need for a naval army. ”

"My Ye family's fleet has traveled from Liaodong to Qingxu and Xuzhou to do north-south trade, and there are currently more than 100 ships." The boats Ye Chen said were only big boats, and those small fishing boats were not counted, and besides, he didn't know how many small fishing boats there were.

Guo Jia's eyes widened, he didn't expect the Ye family to be so huge, the thinking of the people in the world is still on the rivers and lakes, they have been going back and forth at sea, originally Guo Jia felt that the Ye family made the base in Huxian County, without a little strategic depth, it was really a mistake, now it seems that they have a plan, and now it seems that Yuxian is not a dead land, but a treasure land.

Guo Jia felt that his head was not enough, this Ye family was definitely stronger than he imagined, these eight thousand cavalry were just the tip of the iceberg, I believe that if the hidden strength of the Ye family is exposed, it will definitely surprise the world.

Now that Guo Jia has determined that Ye Chen decided that he was not a simple person, but also had the ability to plan the overall situation, he began to arrange all this early.

Guo Jia took a breath and continued to ask the question in his heart.

"I see that your soldiers are all murderous, and they have definitely gone through many battles, so I don't know how Brother Ye trained."

"In addition to fighting Wuhuan and the Huns, they also conducted actual combat training through the suppression of bandits. The bandits in Youzhou were wiped out by me last year. Ye Chen replied flatly.

"A war with the Huns?" Guo Jia felt that he didn't know much about the Ye family, destroying Wuhuan, suppressing bandits, collecting displaced people, etc., there were rumors in the world, he knew, but Guo Jia really didn't know about this battle with the Huns.

There are some things, Ye Chen deliberately asked people to publicize, but he didn't publicize the matter with the Huns, so not many people knew about it, so Ye Chen told Guo Jia why he fought with the Huns, and briefly told Guo Jia about the war.

After listening to it, Guo Jia felt that he had to look at the Ye family with a new mindset, and now that the Ye family was already a behemoth, he couldn't just be regarded as an upstart, let alone despised it.

Guo Jia's thoughts turned quickly, and he thought a lot for a while, then stood up and saluted Ye Chen and said, "Jia is willing to serve the lord as the lord, do his best, and forget that the lord can take him in." ”

Happiness? At this moment, Ye Chen felt that he was very happy, and he finally had a mastermind.

"Fengxiao invites you to get up, and it is a blessing to be filial piety, and it is a blessing to Liaodong." Ye Chen was very happy to help Guo Jia up.

Then Ye Chen told Guo Jia about the Ye family's affairs one by one, and Guo Jia knew that the Ye family had developed to such an extent after listening to it, and sighed how wise his choice was.
