At the northern camp outside the city.
Jia Ying followed the directions on the document and came to the camp on the east side. However, the camp that originally belonged to the Valiant Cavalry Battalion was empty.
He had no choice.
Jia Ying had no choice but to ask General Feng Tang again.
The result was…
Recruit soldiers on their own!
In fact, this kind of thing was not uncommon in the ancient imperial court. It was often necessary for the generals to recruit local soldiers to go to the battlefield.
Eastern Han Dynasty.
The famous general Zhang Liao had once missed the battle of Hulao Pass because he had been dispatched to recruit local soldiers.
Otherwise, the eighteen feudal vassals might not have been able to leave Tiger Cage Pass alive.
Another example.
In Mulan's poem, it was mentioned that Hua Mulan would prepare her own weapons, clothes, and so on to join the army for her father.
As time passed.
Most of the people who joined the army were either trying to make a living or were forced to join the army.
Such an army.
Facing the savages who were like wolves and tigers, they were naturally defeated consecutively.
Jia Ying was overjoyed.
He was just thinking about how he should explain the appearance of the Wei Back Cavalry, and now he was sleepy and had to give him a pillow.
Three thousand people had appeared out of nowhere in the army.
It would definitely attract trouble.
However, with the reason to recruit his own troops, he could perfectly hide it.
On the same day, he returned to the residence.
Wang Xifeng saw Jia Ying's sad face. It seemed like she had something on her mind.
"Husband?"
"Did you encounter any trouble in the military camp today?”
Wang Xifeng was concerned.
"I only learned today that the Valiant Cavalry Camp is empty, and I need to recruit soldiers myself."”
"But the world is in chaos now, and recruiting soldiers is no simple matter.”
There was a long silence.
Wang Xifeng turned around and started rummaging through the mahogany box.
Not long after.
He saw Wang Xifeng take out all the gold and silver jewelry that she had bought as her dowry.
"These are all dowry items and the silver notes that I usually stash away. Although it's not a lot, it's still a few thousand taels of silver!”
"Husband, take it and recruit soldiers. In time, you will definitely be able to make contributions on the battlefield!”
Hmm?
Jia Ying didn't expect Wang Xifeng to give him all her private money.
It was just a casual remark.
He really took out all his private money?
Jia Ying shook her head and wanted to refuse.
"Is it not enough?" Wang Xifeng quickly asked. Why don't I go back to my mother's house and borrow some more!"
"Or I can borrow some money from Second Mistress!”
Jia Ying hurriedly waved her hand.
This was what a good wife should be like.
Everyone said that Wang Xifeng was a money-making expert, and now he believed it.
"This silver is enough!"
"In the future, when your husband has made contributions on the battlefield, you must ask for an imperial edict for Furen!”
Mrs. Gao?
Wang Xifeng smiled happily.
He even felt that he didn't feel any heartache at spending the money.
Before he left.
Jia Ying had wanted to remind Wang Xifeng to be careful in the residence.
However, he suddenly thought of something.
With Wang Xifeng's personality, she would be lucky if she didn't bully others.
Who would dare to provoke this lady?
Jia Ying was ordered to assist the northern army and headed north on the same day.
Along the way.
Jia Ying deliberately took a detour to Hedong County and then pretended to recruit soldiers.
Most of the men in the east of the river ride horses and shoot arrows. They are skilled in archery and riding.
Following which, he summoned the 3,000 Back Wei Cavalry.
As for warhorses, armors, bows, and other weapons.
Because he was the descendant of the Duke of Rong, and his wife was the eldest daughter of the Wang family, Wang Xifeng, he naturally had some private money, so it would not arouse suspicion.
After nearly two months of dawdling on the road.
Only then did Jia Ying lead his troops to the north.
At the camp of the Northern Expedition Army.
When Jia Ying led 3,000 elite cavalrymen to appear, it caused quite a stir.
At the gate.
Many of the soldiers were pointing at him in amazement.
This was because the Great Gan Dynasty was ultimately focused on agriculture.
It was not easy to build a cavalry.
The entire Northern Expedition Army.
There are 100,000 infantry and cavalry.
But in reality, there were less than 20,000 cavalrymen.
The rest were basically infantry.
On the other hand, the Jin people were almost all soldiers, each of them skilled in archery and archery!
The cavalry had an overwhelming advantage in numbers.
Jia Ying alone had brought 3,000 fully armed elite cavalrymen.
Naturally, it attracted attention.
Not long after.
The personal guards and generals of the army surrounded the first-class earl and the general of the Northern Expedition, Niu Jizong, as they walked over.
Niu Jizong was the descendant of Niu Qing.
Like Jia Ying, he was a descendant of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.
They were also old relatives.
"Whose subordinate is this?" When Niu Jizong saw the three thousand cavalrymen in front of him, he was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.
He hurriedly asked.
Jia Ying hurriedly dismounted and cupped her fists.
"Great General!"
"The descendant of the Duke of Rong, Vigorous Lieutenant Jia Ying, has been ordered to recruit 3,000 soldiers from the east of the river to support the northern army!”
It was said that Jia Ying had recruited them herself.
The generals present were even more amazed.
Niu Jizong's eyes were glowing green.
"Alright!"
"Jiang Men Hu Zi! As expected of the descendant of the Duke of Rong, to be able to spend all his wealth to support the Northern War, he was truly a generous person!”
"If all the men of Da Qian were like this, how would the golden thieves dare to be so arrogant?”
Everyone praised him.
They all thought that Jia Ying had used up all his wealth to form such a cavalry, and they all admired Jia Ying's selfless behavior.
The Duke of Zhenguo and the Jia family were old friends.
Now, Niu Jizong looked at Jia Ying as if he was his own son, his eyes filled with admiration.
Half a month later.
The battle on the northern front was still very tense.
All kinds of friction and crossfire continued.
Finally, it was the middle of July.
The scale of the war continued to expand, and the number of troops sent into the battlefield by both sides had reached its limit.
During this period of time.
Jia Ying also relied on his eloquence and knowledge to make Niu Jizong praise him.
In order to promote Jia Ying.
Niu Jizong decided to give Jia Ying a chance to make a contribution.
In the central tent.
Niu Jizong shouted loudly,
"Jia Ying, step forward and listen to my orders!"
"I'm here!" Jia Ying stepped forward.
"Tomorrow, you will lead the troops out to fight. At that time, if you give yourself away, pretend to retreat and lure the enemy cavalry of the Jin people to chase after you!”
"Wait until the enemy cavalrymen let down their guard, and the ambush will charge out from Wild Bull Valley and Wangpo Plain!”
"After Jia Ying joins up with my army in the middle, we'll turn around and kill them!”
"Capture the enemy in one battle!"
Jia Ying looked a little surprised.
He did not expect that this Niu Jizong was not just for show, but also had some strength and strategy.
"I will do as you say!"
Jia Ying stepped forward and took the token arrow with both hands.
He was extremely excited.
After dawdling for several months, it was finally time for him to show his talents!
