Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, the cool autumn gradually passed and was replaced by a white rain of flowers.
Winter had arrived!
A few miles away from Zhuo County, in the military camp.
This was a new cavalry camp that Su Yan had ordered people to build. It was specially used to train cavalry.
Because the terrain nearby was relatively flat and flat, it was suitable to build a horse farm.
Su Yan placed all the cavalrymen here for training before dividing them into two battalions.
One was the Krupp Breaking Camp, which was created with Zhao Yun as the main general and using his Hu Knight training method.
The Krupp Breaking Camp was mainly made up of light cavalry, mainly used for long-distance raids. They were very mobile and were responsible for sneak attacks, harassment, and ambushes.
In the Krupp Breaking Camp, other than the regular Hu Dao Knights, Su Yan also had Zhao Yun train a group of white horse followers.
The 500 white horses that he had threatened Yan Gang to get couldn't be wasted, so he might as well use them all.
Although Zhao Yun was only a general in the White Horse Righteous Army, he had read military books and knew how to arrange troops.
He had also been in White Horse Sect for two years, so he had a thorough understanding of the training method.
Su Yan took the opportunity to let him form a new White Horse Righteous Servant.
There were 500 White Horse Righteous Followers and 2,000 Hu Righteous Knights. In total, there were 2,500 people.
This was the number of people in the light cavalry camp.
The other cavalry was the Flying Tiger Battalion led by Dian Wei.
The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion were all veterans, elites, and experienced.
When Su Yan saw this, he did not mix them with the Krupp Breaking Camp. Instead, he brought them out alone and formed them into heavy cavalry!
The heavy cavalry was also known as a moving steel fortress!
A cavalryman and his horse were all covered in thick armor, leaving only the calves of the horse exposed.
The mobility of the heavy cavalry was not strong and was not suitable for long-distance battles.
However, its impact was extremely powerful. It was an extremely special assault strategy on the battlefield, and could give the enemy a powerful impact and psychological pressure.
Enemies were often defeated because of their powerful abilities.
The training of the heavy cavalry was very difficult, much more difficult than the light cavalry, so Su Yan chose all the elites.
This was like burning a gold vault, because the heavy armor required was too expensive.
The money used to arm a heavy cavalry was enough to arm a small group of light cavalry.
If Su Yan had that much money, he might as well keep it to form Qin Ruishi.
However, the system had given him 1,000 sets of battle armor, 1,000 halberds, and 1,000 high-quality warhorses when he had completed the selection.
In the beginning, Su Yan was puzzled as to why he gave them these.
Later, he understood that it was used to form heavy cavalry.
Just nice, he had a horse, armor, and weapons! He was just missing someone!
Su Yan had used this opportunity to form a 500-man heavy cavalry unit, which was the original Flying Tiger Battalion.
It was already winter, so the military training had to be reduced, but they had to be prepared for the cold and warmth.
Su Yan also asked Du Ji to gather a large amount of cotton clothes for the soldiers to spend the winter.
Of course, he didn't forget about the infantry on White Bear Ridge.
After the infantry was reorganized and recruited, there were 3,000 people. They were temporarily under the control of his two generals, Lin Zhen and Chen Jian.
When Taishi Ci returned, Su Yan was prepared to let him take responsibility.
Winter had arrived. Other than taking care of some winter affairs, he slowly became idle.
At this moment, Zou Yu came looking for him again.
During this period of time, Zou Yu would come back to chat with him whenever he was free.
Su Yan was not stupid. If he still could not tell that she liked him after such a long time, then he would have lived in vain.
After spending so much time together, Su Yan slowly felt something. After all, the human heart was not made of iron. Love would develop over time.
Finally, the two of them expressed their thoughts one day.
Su Yan promised her that he would bring her back to Ji County during the Spring Festival in another month.
He would tell Su Ping about it himself and ask his father to make the decision before they got married.
Zou Yu was very happy to receive his promise and told her father about it.
Zou Zhi was also very happy when he found out because his family had finally established a connection with the state capital.
Although the Zou family was a noble family of Youzhou, the status of merchants was low.
Zou Zhi had always hoped to establish a connection with the aristocrats so that the Zou family would no longer be forced to live in the lower class.
Su Yan was a target that he had high hopes for.
Based on his eyesight, Su Yan's future achievements would definitely not be low. Even the entire Youzhou Province would not be able to stop him.
The icing on the cake was not as good as sending charcoal in the snow.
Therefore, he had to take advantage of this moment to place his bet as soon as possible and make a move first.
The person he admired the most was the great merchant of the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Buwei.
The principle that rare goods could be hoarded was even more regarded as a truth by him.
He believed in his own judgment. The Zou family would definitely rise because of Su Yan!
Taking advantage of the fact that the two of them had already made up their minds, Zou Zhi also showed his cards to Su Yan and expressed his full support for Su Yan, even if it meant giving up all of the Zou family's assets.
As such, apart from his own wine-making business, Su Yan had also obtained the support of the Zou family, and his financial resources had become abundant.
He planned to start preparing to expand the army and set up the Iron Eagle Warriors after winter.
"Report!"
In the study, Su Yan was handling official business when the voice of a servant sounded from outside.
"Sir, the county magistrate requests an audience."
"Please come in!"
"Here!"
The attendant left. Not long after, Du Ji was invited in. Then, Su Yan asked someone to add a brazier.
" My lord, there's good news."
Du Ji sat down and smiled.
Su Yan looked at him and smiled." I saw the smile on your face since you came in. I knew that something good must have happened. Tell me."”
Du Ji shook his head and smiled.”
"What is it?"
"I just received news that after the prefecture government received our document, they rewarded you for defeating the Wuhuan Cavalry. The Prefecture Overseer even ordered you to be appointed Governor of Zhuo County.”
After Du Ji finished speaking, he looked at Su Yan and found that his expression was very calm.
"My lord, are you unhappy?"
"Of course I'm happy. Who wouldn't be happy about being promoted?”
"I was thinking that this news came a little too late. After all, it has been two months since I defeated the Wuhuan Cavalry."”
"I heard that we originally wanted to reward you earlier, but because the rebel soldiers in the north began to counterattack, the state capital temporarily delayed this matter.”
"It is said that the rebel army withdrew from Right Beiping and gathered in western Liaoning. Gongsun Zan pursued them but was defeated and could only return to Right Beiping.”
"The Imperial Court has also issued an edict to appoint him as a lieutenant of the surrendered Krupp Army, the Marquis of Duting, and the prefect of Right Beiping Prefecture, responsible for guarding the border.”
Du Ji said slowly.
