After dinner and entering the game, the Han army set up their tents on the edge of the battlefield after an afternoon of busy cleaning.

When Chu Feng saw Zhang Yuan going online, he said, "My lord, while you were sleeping, the general's personal guards came and said that the general had called you over!" ”

"Okay, I got it! Let's go! Zhang Yuan nodded, and led Chu Feng and the others to Xi Juan's location.

Passing through all the way, the patrolling Han soldiers saw Zhang Yuan and others, and they all paid attention from afar.

After today's battle, Zhang Yuan's reputation has been completely beaten, whether it is driving cattle and horses to charge the battle before, or Zuihou defeating the Khitans under the leadership of Xi Juan, it has made them quite prestigious among the Han soldiers.

The black armor, which was different from the yellow uniforms of ordinary Han soldiers, was heavy and covered the whole body, and it was the envy of other soldiers.

Walking to where Xi Juan was, Zhang Yuan hugged his fist at the familiar guard in front of him and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being late, and I ask Your Excellency to help me pass it on!" ”

The guard Zheng Qi nodded, stood by the tent, turned to the inside and said, "General, Zhang Yuan has arrived!" ”

The tent was not big, but it was still brightly lit at this time, and after a while, Xi Juan said, "Let him in!" ”

"Yes!" Zheng Qi responded, Zhang Yuan turned his head to Chu Feng and said, "You guys are waiting for me here now!" ”

Walking into the tent, Xi Juan was sitting on a chair, carving bamboo slips with a knife, Zhang Yuan knew that in the near future, whether it was paper, saddles or other things, would be popularized in the Han Dynasty, until all the inconveniences shown between the various dynasties due to the relationship between the times were wiped out.

Xi Juan didn't look up, and only raised his head when all the carvings were finished, and said, "I've been waiting for a long time!" Sit! ”

"General Xie!" Zhang Yuan was a little nervous in his heart, and responded restrainedly.

No way, Xi Juan is the best woman he has ever seen, and she is also a beauty, and she is very, very lethal to him as an 'innocent little virgin'.

"You did a great job today!" Xi Juan didn't care, glanced at Zhang Yuan, and then continued: "And I think your strength is enough, so I decided to promote you to a partial general!" I don't know what you think? ”

"Thank you General for your grace!" Zhang Yuan immediately stood up, unable to hide the joy in his heart.

Partial general, one step to be promoted to general, what a rare opportunity, he thought that it would be good to be promoted to the position of commander at most by what he did, even if he couldn't reach the commander of a thousand, but he didn't expect that he would directly become a partial general.

"No, you deserve it!" Xi Juan said lightly.

As soon as the words changed, Xi Juan said again: "However, this time you sent troops without authorization, causing Xihe Town to be besieged, and Yuanzhou failed to get the news in time, and was plundered by the Khitans, are you guilty?" ”

"The last will be convicted!" Zhang Yuan didn't dare to refute, and knelt down and said.

"Just be convicted!" Xi Juan nodded undeniably and said, "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have faults, you will be punished." The merits and demerits are comparable, because you have merit in killing the enemy, and you will be promoted to the general of Xihe immediately, but because of your mistakes, you need to recruit them yourself, limited to 2,000 people! It is the duty to guard the surrounding steppe tribes! In the meantime, I'll give you a batch of weapons! ”

Speaking of this, Xi Juan glanced at Zhang Yuan again, seeing that he had no meaning, and continued: "Others, because of the obsolescence of your unauthorized actions, this time the spoils of war are not your share, if you can judge in time, attack the Khitan tribe, cause the Khitan people to retreat, and in the process of retreating, help me defeat the Khitan elite, and the cattle and horses you brought back will be regarded as your reward." Also, the next is not an example, you know? ”

Zhang Yuan didn't understand that Xi Juan was protecting himself, and said gratefully: "General Xie's grace not to kill!" ”

If nothing happens to someone who leaves his post without permission, no one knows that it may be fine, but if it is like Zhang Yuan, so he provokes chaos in the entire Yuanzhou, at best, it is nothing to kill to set an example, and at worst, it is normal to have no credit at all.

"Ding, congratulations on the player's promotion to the rank of Xihe from the seventh rank of the general, with the right to form an independent army, the number of people is limited: two thousand!"

Independent army, this is exactly what Zhang Yuan dreamed of, compared to before, after becoming a partial general, Zhang Yuan can be more free, in addition to the matter of duty, he can let himself decide at other times, even if he sends troops elsewhere, as long as he reports it, it doesn't matter, no need to sneak around.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also the benefit of 10,000 experience points per day, which is equivalent to three times the cultivation bonus for one hour per day.

"Get up!" Xi Juan said lightly, and then said: "Your heavy cavalry is very good!" I wonder if you can provide me with a batch of equipment?! ”

Aborigines are not as free as players, like players secretly have more than the power of the army, the aborigines will also turn a blind eye, as long as it does not exceed a certain limit, it doesn't matter, but the aboriginal generals are not so lucky, the superior is extremely strict, and in addition to the problem of their own concepts, they can't collect money like the player.

Shinong industry and commerce, merchants are the last kind of existence, and this concept lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

"What, is there a problem?" Xi Juan asked, the strength of the heavy cavalry, after the contact, Xi Juan keenly discovered that the heavy cavalry can completely replace the existence of the chariot, which is more suitable for many environments than the chariot, and has the indestructible impact of the chariot, although it is impossible to completely compare with the chariot, but it is enough.

Of course, she can't see the weakness of the heavy cavalry, this kind of existence is only suitable for critical moments, or attacking fortifications, and it is the kind that is the final word, not an ordinary army.

"Nope! Checkmate! Zhang Yuan hurriedly explained: "I can provide you with all the equipment of five hundred sets of heavy cavalry, but since this time, I have found that the heavy cavalry still has many weaknesses, so I plan to continue to improve!" ”

Although the chain mail can block the sword and arrow, but in the face of heavy weapons, it is often unsatisfactory, although two sneak attacks and one ambush, plus this raid have achieved unimaginable victories, but the losses of the heavy cavalry are also huge, and in the end only more than 180 people survived.

Those who remained in Xihe Town suffered heavy losses, and only more than forty heavy cavalry survived.

Because of this, the heavy cavalry exposed a lot of flaws, so Zhang Yuan decided not to wait, and carried out the restructuring of the heavy cavalry equipment - the ten-forged steel equipment made of ordinary steel can only be used for temporary transition.

"Oh, how are you going to improve!" Xi Juan became interested, if the heavy cavalry could erase some weaknesses, it would be more practical, and its importance would naturally be more important.

"I'm going to use Volcanic Iron to create fish scale armor!" Zhang Yuan didn't hide it and said.

"Volcano Iron?" Xi Juan frowned, as a martial artist, how could she not know this kind of dazzling iron?

After hesitating for a moment, Xi Juan said again: "Do you have a channel?" If you can, make me a thousand sets and send them too! ”

“……”

One thousand sets, five hundred becomes one thousand, Zhang Yuan wants to cry without tears, this is Xuan Tie, something comparable to Xuan Tie, with his current financial resources, he is bankrupt for three months, and it is just enough to build five hundred sets, not to mention channels, craftsmen and so on.

"Don't worry, I won't ask for you in vain!" Xi Juan seemed to think of his lion's mouth, gritted his teeth, and said: "Money, I definitely don't have that much, if you can build me a thousand sets, I can teach you some of my family's martial arts, in addition, I allow you to have the right to transfer a thousand soldiers at will!" ”

Speaking of zuihou, Xi Juan glared at Zhang Yuan, as if to say, don't think I don't know your good deeds.

"Yes, the last general will definitely live up to the general's trust!"

What else can Zhang Yuan say? He had planned to give it to Xi Juan for nothing, so as to get closer to each other.

I didn't expect to get so many benefits, so do you need to talk about it? Not to mention Xi Juan's family martial arts, just the right to transfer a thousand soldiers at will will make a lot of money.

Zhang Yuan, as a partial general, can mobilize 300 people at will, and no matter how much he needs, he needs to report in person, although Xi Juan may not necessarily hinder him, but some things are still not on the surface, isn't it?
