The Wu'an Army, as an army directly under the plateau, will be expanded into 12 armies, including a total of three full cavalry armies, three full infantry armies, three infantry and cavalry mixed armies, one of which is the left-behind Daijun army, and an engineering equipment army. One is the Scout Army and one is the Women's Army.

Of the twelve armies, only six were allocated according to the standard number of 5,000 men, and the other six corps were all Lao Fan's troops, of which the Fan Yong army was 7,500 in the whole cavalry army; and the back army of the whole infantry army was six thousand; The Weining Army in the mixed infantry and cavalry army was the army that stayed behind in Dai County, with a number of 7,000 people, including 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry troops; There is also the Shenji Army, which is responsible for the engineering equipment, with a number of 8,000 people, including 3,000 craftsmen. The scout army was 2,000 people, and the female army was directly led by Li Yinghong, and it was also an all-cavalry army, with a number of 1,200 people. Except for the two full-infantry armies and the Shenji army, the rest of the armies also arranged their horses according to two horses of cavalry and one horse of infantry.

Including the logistics army, the total strength is about 72,000 people. Among them, the combat army was 54,000 men, the cavalry army was 24,000 men, the chariots were 600, and the total number of war horses was more than 70,000.

In this way, the total strength of the Daijun was about 162,000 men, and the combat force was about 130,000, of which the number of cavalry exceeded 50,000 and the number of chariots was 1,500, and the total strength was more than half of the previous strength.

And what the generals are most concerned about is the way to expand the army. Although the expansion of the army was of course recruited from among the common people, the population of Dai County was not evenly divided, Dai County had the largest population, reaching 900,000, and Shanggu County had a population of nearly 500,000, while the population of Yunzhong and Yanmen counties was smaller, only more than 300,000. In addition, this time Gao Yuan also brought back 25,000 or 6,000 soldiers from the Wei State, how this group of soldiers will be distributed, whether they will be formed into an army as a whole or after they are dispersed, and the newly recruited soldiers from the Daijun area will be mixed together, these things are the most important things.

First of all, the army brought from the Wei State will be in accordance with the principle of voluntariness, and the Wei soldiers who originally intended to continue to serve in the army will be subject to the assessment of the representative army, and after passing the assessment, they can become official soldiers of the representative army, and enjoy the same treatment and promotion opportunities as other soldiers; The Wei soldiers, who were unwilling to join the army, were given houses and fields according to the standards of ordinary people, cultivated them, and undertook the corresponding taxes and labor, and of course they also had the obligation to conscript into the army.

Then, depending on the number of Wei soldiers, if it is enough to form an army, try to form an army with the entire number of Wei soldiers, and officers at all levels are selected from among the Wei soldiers. If the number is insufficient, it is mixed with other soldiers. And now there are 5,000 Wei troops who remain in Guiling County of Wei State, and they will be arranged after they return to Dai County.

If the number of recruits is insufficient, the shortfall will be reported to the Daijun and supplemented by the Daijun, and all the expansion must be completed by June this year, and then the establishment and training will be carried out immediately. At the same time, the army expansion is reported to Daijun once a month, and the Daijun government will determine the number of the army formed, issue official letters of appointment, seals, and waist cards to the appointed officers at all levels, and receive the necessary assembly materials from Daijun.

After listening to this, the generals were also very satisfied with the arrangements on the plateau, and they all said that they would do their best to complete the expansion of the army.

Later, Gao Yuan ordered that all the people who did not join the army in the Daijun area should be organized, and military training should be carried out in the spare time, after all, only relying on these more than 160,000 troops, it is okay to hold Daijun, and if you want to capture Yanguo, it is naturally far from enough, and more troops are needed.

Although Daijun has always implemented the military system of regular army and conscription army, most of the people have undergone military training, and many people have experienced war. However, after this expansion of the army, it is estimated that most of the civilians who have received military training and participated in battles have joined the army, so the other civilians should also be systematically trained, so that in the future battles, they can play a role and not drag down the whole army. Gao Yuan is a person who knows the principle of wooden barrels, and how much water a barrel can hold is determined not by the longest plank, but by the shortest plank, and the same is true for the army.

After the discussion was decided, the generals also returned to their respective stations, and immediately began to recruit soldiers. And now there is nothing else to do for the time being, Gao Yuan is also paying attention to the situation of Wei Qin and other countries in Daijun on the one hand, and dealing with the affairs of various departments in Daijun on the other.

In fact, the place of Daijun was originally not large, after three years of operation, the administrative organs were basically established, and the ability of several administrative officials was also recognized, and the officials at the grassroots level were more conscientious, and there was nothing that needed to be decided by the plateau, so the plateau was more at ease and did not worry much about political affairs.

Still, there are a few things that have piqued Takahara's interest. As recently as last October, two nomadic tribes of the steppe moved outside the Yanmen Pass and asked to settle under the jurisdiction of Dai County.

It turned out that after the plateau led the army to attack Yinshan, they settled the captured Xiongnu and other steppe nomads outside the Yanmen Pass, and still maintained trade contacts with other steppe nomads. Some tribal merchants came to Yanmen to trade and found that these nomadic people lived a very good life outside the Yanmen Pass, much better than on the grassland. Because the livestock and furs of these herdsmen will be directly purchased by merchants from Daijun, or brought to the market in Yanmen Pass to trade, not only can they buy what they need, but also without the link of intermediate merchants, they can naturally increase a lot of income. Moreover, many herdsmen have joined the Fan Yong Army, and the military salary they receive is also a large amount of income, so it is naturally much better to live on the grassland.

Therefore, there are many tribes after learning, are also very envious, just at this time the Xiongnu are annexing and expanding on the grassland, some tribes were directly annexed by the Xiongnu, and some tribes were forced to migrate and hide, and two years ago the plateau defeated the Xiongnu army in Yinshan, and it has been spread all over the grassland, just two tribes were defeated by the Xiongnu, and there was nowhere to go on the grassland, so the leaders of the two tribes led the remnants of the tribesmen to come to Yanmen Pass, hoping to settle outside Yanmen Pass, and get the protection of Daijun.

The population of these two tribes is not much now, less than 10,000 people, but this is the first time that a nomadic tribe of the grassland has asked to be incorporated into the jurisdiction of Daijun, Li Yinghong and Ning Qi and others do not know how to deal with it for a while, because there is a precedent for the plateau to take in nomads, and they also select personnel from the nomads to form a cavalry army, so it is not easy to refuse these two tribes, but if these two tribes are taken in, will they be attacked by the Xiongnu again. Although Daijun is not afraid of the Xiongnu, but now Daijun's main opponent is still the Qin State after all, at this time, of course, it is not to make extraneous branches.

Fortunately, at this time, the plateau was also about to return, so Li Yinghong ordered that the two tribes should first settle in the periphery of Yanmen Pass, and provide them with the necessary food, and wait for the plateau to come back before making a decision.

When Gao Yuan learned of this, he immediately ordered the two tribes to be accepted. Because the plateau knows that now is the time for the rise of the Xiongnu, coupled with the enmity of Yinshan, whether he accepts these two tribes or not, the Xiongnu will clash with him sooner or later. Therefore, it is better to accept these two tribes, on the one hand, to strengthen their own strength, and on the other hand, to provide a model for other steppe peoples to attract more tribes to join. Because the Xiongnu have not yet unified the entire grassland, and there are still many tribes that are not as strong as the Xiongnu and are unwilling to belong to the Xiongnu, if they can be attracted to join, of course, it is a good thing.

Of course, if you want to settle down on the territory of Daijun and be protected by Daijun, of course, you have to bear the necessary responsibilities, the population of these two tribes has a total of 16,700 people, and the adult male children are about 5,000. Therefore, it is not unconditional to accept these two tribes, first of all, if you stay, you must respect the rules set by Daijun, and at any time you must accept Daijun's conscription army to fight for Daijun, if you agree to this condition, then stay, and leave if you don't agree.

Another piece of news is also related to Yanmen Pass, it turns out that just this year, there was a horse thief outside Yanmen Pass, numbering about 1,000, to rob caravans and scattered villages for a living. It is not surprising that horse thieves appear on the grassland, but this horse thief mainly targets the area under the jurisdiction of Daijun outside Yanmen Pass, and they are quite familiar with the terrain in this area, and it seems that there are some acquaintances who once used the method of combining inside and outside to break a village and town. Although the Yanmen Legion sent troops to conquer twice, in the end, due to the small number of troops dispatched, although they also killed more than 100 horse thieves, they finally let this horse thief escape. And due to the tense war in the county during this era, the county did not have the ability to gather a large army to conquer the nest.

The horse thieves on the grassland are the most troublesome, because they come and go without a trace, and they are extremely cruel, and where they fall, in addition to looting property, often chickens and dogs are not left, and all the people are killed, and many small tribes have no way to take them.

However, from the mouth of the captured horse thief, it turned out that this horse thief was composed of the remnants of the powerful forces that suppressed the Dai County when Gao Yuan entered the Dai County, mainly people surnamed Zhao and Ma.

Gao Yuan was also a little surprised, he also knew that when he suppressed the powerful forces of Daijun, there were indeed some fish that slipped through the net, and he also made trouble for a while at that time, and then it was quiet. Unexpectedly, after two years of silence, they actually made a comeback, and they also pulled nearly a thousand people, obviously supported by a certain force, most likely the Xiongnu.
