The next day, Ding Yuan mobilized 50,000 elite soldiers and was selected by Wang Yue and Tong Yuan. After half a month of selection, five thousand people were selected from the 50,000 elite soldiers and divided them into two parts and entered the Yi Army and the Guards.

Ding Yuan posted a notice to the Xiangyang prefect recruit craftsmen in the whole province. In order to consider the future expansion of the Yi army, Huangfu Song also asked Ding Yuan to recruit strong men from Bingzhou in addition to the regular elite troops, Yanmen, Baima, Shouyang and other places in the northern part of Bingzhou, and specially added a sentence from Liu Xie at the end of the notice - the treatment was generous.

Liu Xie carefully looked at the list of transferred in, but did not find the names of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. However, Hou Cheng was discovered. This man is now just a general of the tooth gate, commanding a hundred people.

But it was difficult for him. Hou Cheng was good at shooting and other martial arts were average. However, he could become a general under Lu Bu in the future and still had certain talents in leading the army.

Liu Xie and Huangfu Kang asked him to call Ding Yuan, and whispered a few more words. Huangfu Kang immediately asked someone to summon Ding Yuanjin to meet him.

When Wang Yue and Tong Yuan selected people, Ding Yuan also looked at it several times. Each time he selected the elite soldiers, all of which were the young generals. He felt a little caring. He thought the prince could only make a move and shouted: "There are only five thousand people here!"

As for Wang Yue and Tong Yuan, he had also heard of it. No wonder they had such a good vision. The current prince Liu Xie was a vampire in his heart, but he still liked it very much.

You should know that once these people make great contributions to the prince Liu Xie in the future, Liu Xie will still naturally think of himself.

Haha, it's a good deal! Ding Yuan was so happy in his heart.

Ding Yuan was not sitting on his butt, Huangfu Kang said: "Mr. Ding, now the two armies of Guard have sufficient troops. In addition to the 5,000 elite soldiers that Lord Ding gave up, more than 3,000 strong men were recruited in the northern counties of Bingzhou. There is only one thing, and I am afraid that Lord Ding Yuan will also need help!"

Ding Yuan's heart skipped a beat. This prince had already blackmailed enough in Bingzhou. He had just been a little unprofitable for the Huns General who had been empty for many years.

Fortunately, Ding Yuan has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty. No matter how many requests he asks, he will accept it. The official positions are given by the emperor, so why should you cherish the others? Secondly, he knew in his heart that as the saying goes, there are many people who add icing on the cake, and few people who provide timely help. Now is the most critical time to fight for the position of prince. If Liu Xie is the emperor because of his help, he will have many good days.

He said loudly: "Your Highness, but you have something to do. Just give me instructions. I will do my best."

After saying this, he looked at Huangfu Kang and put on a look of "Come on! I'll sit here and let you kill me, I'll accept it!"

Huangfu Kang coughed gently and said, "The following matter may make Lord Ding feel heartbroken. This, Lord Ding will consider it."

Ding Yuan's heart skipped another beat. Could it be that he really wanted to poach Lu Bu?

Lu Bu is still clearly a person who has always been ambitious. If the prince summons the call, he will definitely pat his butt and leave him.

Ding Yuan also knew that once Lu Bu was gone, his military generals had no advantage and had no interests. He said, "I saw that the two armies of the Wing Guard have recruited a lot, but there were no generals leading the army. Since His Highness only recruited soldiers at the beginning, I did not transfer orders to the generals above the Golf Commander. If His Highness needed it, I could order other people to work with Zhang Chong to send many generals to Lord Huangfu and choose them. However, everyone else is easy to say, my adopted son Lu Bu has a deep relationship with me and only wants to serve me. I hope that Your Highness will understand his filial piety as the governor of Lu Qi."

Huangfu Kang smiled and said, "Of course, our Han Dynasty governs the world with filial piety. It is rare that the commander of the Lu Qi is so loyal and filial. Your Highness will naturally achieve it."

Ding Yuan was overjoyed and said, "I will thank Your Highness for your adopted son."

After Zhang Chong delivered the list, Ding Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I have a word, don't you know whether to say it or not?"

Without waiting for Huangfu Kang to answer, Liu Xie said: "Mr. Ding is loyal to the court and has worked hard and made great contributions. Everything he thinks must be for the country. Naturally, there is nothing to say here!"

Ding Yuan looked at Liu Xie in surprise. There was nothing unusual on the surface, but his heart was ups and downs. Naturally, these words were not taught by Huangfu Kang temporarily. It was really the choice of a wise prince who had such a sense of knowledge. He was only six years old now. If he taught well, he would definitely be a wise king. He couldn't help but sigh in secret that the great man was saved!

He knelt down and said, "I look at the two armies of the two armies that His Highness personally guards, and I personally think that the emperor has a very exquisite intention in the construction of the two armies. It has both the role of guards and the ability to go out of the city to fight. As the name suggests, the guards should be the main body guards, the infantry should be the main ones, and the horses and galloping. The Wing Army, thinking about its meaning, can travel thousands of miles a day, raid and kill the enemy, and be a refined cavalry."

Liu Xie nodded and said, "No matter what you want to say, Lord Ding will get up and say it!" After Ding Yuan got up, he continued, "The two armies were named like this, but Governor Ding meant that he said, but I don't know what Lord Ding wants to say?"

Ding Yuan thought for a while and said, "If the infantry is talking about combat power, it should be headed by heavy infantry. This is Your Highness's personal bodyguard. Today, it is not peaceful. If there is a crisis, the three thousand troops around Your Highness may have to fight ten in one place and fight on the battlefield. I suggest that this army can be heavy in the entire army, and the best is to use black iron fish scale armor or willow leaf armor. With the guidance of a sword master like Wang Yue, the entire army can use heavy swords. I have been fighting on the battlefield for many years. I personally think that the infantry is the strongest in fighting, but it depends on what soldiers. The soldiers selected by Your Highness this time

Ding is an elite in our army who understands martial arts a little. He can fight ten in daily life. It is better to let them use swords. The swords in the Central Plains are too light. When I fought with the Xiongnu, I once got a strange sword, a heavy victory sword, which can be stabbed or cut, which is more suitable for hand-to-hand combat between the two armies than the swords produced by the Central Plains. His Highness has a famous sword like Wang Yue, who teaches soldiers to practice high-quality swords, so the entire army can use that kind of swords. Such equipment and daily training expenses are bound to be huge, but this is the royal army, so naturally there is no need to worry about money."

Liu Xie shouted loudly. He guessed that the sword Ding Yuan mentioned was a heavy sword from Europe. Although he didn't know how it appeared in the Huns, it was not a problem that the Silk Road was occasionally circulated.

Huangfu Kang said: "Can Lord Ding take the sword to see with the craftsmen?"

Ding Yuan said: "This is naturally. It would be better if Your Highness needs to bring back to the capital and let the craftsmen in the governor's palace study!" He has always regarded the sword as a treasure, but now he is willing to give up his love for the sake of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xie looked at him and said, "Governor Ding has this intention, so I won't refuse. I wonder what suggestions does Governor Ding have?"

Ding Yuan said: "There are many more!"

Liu Xie clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Governor Ding is the pillar of the country. If you have something to say, it's okay. Listening to Governor Ding's words is better than reading a hundred military books!"
