The 100 Mayi cavalrymen stood quietly in the distance.
Zhang Liao recognized him as his master.
"My lord, please allow me to deal with some private matters.”
Zhang Liao said softly.
Cheng Chong nodded to show his understanding.
With Cheng Chong's permission, Zhang Liao stood up and turned around without hesitation.
He looked at the 100 Mayi cavalrymen and bowed deeply.
"Brothers, all good things must come to an end!”
"Today, I resign from my post as the commander of Mayi and join my lord!”
"The mountain is high and the road is far.”
This was Zhang Liao's farewell.
These 100 cavalrymen belonged to Mayi's soldiers and not his private army.
Although he had been leading the army for many years and had a high prestige among these soldiers, he was not qualified to dictate their whereabouts.
Since he had chosen to leave Mayi and follow Cheng Chong, he would naturally have to part ways with these soldiers!
However, the 100 Mayi cavalrymen did not leave.
Instead, they dismounted one by one.
He looked at Zhang Liao with a sincere and respectful gaze.
"Big Brother Zhang! I'll be your soldier for the rest of my life. I'll go wherever you go!”
"Yeah, Big Brother Zhang, we'll listen to you!”
"Big Brother Zhang, your lord is our lord!”
All sorts of different voices rang out.
But they all expressed the same meaning.
They were not leaving!
They swore to follow him!
The hundred people made the same choice at the same time!
Zhang Liao looked at them with reddened eyes.
The tall and sturdy body of a seven-foot-tall man actually trembled a little.
Cheng Chong looked from afar and was slightly moved.
Zhang Liao's loyalty was unparalleled, but the soldiers under him were the same!
Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and turned to Cheng Chong.
"My lord, I wonder if my lord can take in these brothers of mine…"
"They are also my brothers!"
Cheng Chong did not hesitate.
Of course he wanted to!
To a soldier, loyalty was more important than ability.
There was no doubt about the loyalty of these soldiers.
With a little training, they would definitely grow into the core of the army.
Moreover, this was a hundred cavalrymen!
Cavalry training was much more expensive than infantry training.
Cheng Chong did not have any extra financial resources to build a cavalry from scratch.
Although 100 people was a little small, it was enough for the time being.
As long as they learned the god-grade wedge-shaped formation, they would naturally become sharp blades in Cheng Chong's hands!
"Thank you, my lord!"
Zhang Liao was overjoyed.
Unknowingly, his loyalty towards Cheng Chong had risen to another level.
With such a lord, what else can I ask for?
......
After a simple registration, the 100 Mayi cavalrymen joined Cheng Chong's team.
Then, they entered Mayi City.
In the name of quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cheng Chong directly took ten thousand stone grains from the Mayi County Yamen's warehouse.
He didn't have many troops now. Ten thousand dan of grain was enough to supply the army for three months.
The Mayi County Magistrate had long been scared out of his wits, so he naturally cooperated fully. How could he dare to say anything?
After a short rest, they set off again and left Mayi.
He transported 1,000 Yellow Turban captives and 10,000 stones of grain back to Ling County.
Of course, Cheng Chong did not idle along the way.
Zhang Liao broke down all the information regarding the divine-tier wedge-shaped formation and passed it down.
After a few days, these hundred cavalrymen had already mastered the Divine Grade Wedge Formation.
After experiencing the magical effects of the formation halo, Zhang Liao and the 100 cavalrymen were amazed by Cheng Chong.
Originally, there were still some people who were dissatisfied with Cheng Chong, thinking that their Big Brother Zhang should not be subordinate to others.
But now, they had completely lost all their thoughts.
His loyalty to Cheng Chong was off the charts, even higher than Zhang Liao.
After all, the divine rank wedge-shaped formation was too terrifying.
If he wasn't the chosen one, how could he have created such an incredible array!
......
"It seems that my lord has a great harvest this time!”
In front of Zhongling City.
Guo Jia had already received the news and was standing at the city gate to welcome them.
He smiled as he narrowed his eyes, sizing up Zhang Liao who was standing beside Cheng Chong.
Although he wasn't a general, Guo Jia's eyesight wasn't bad.
Naturally, he could tell that Zhang Liao was not an ordinary person!
At this moment, as Cheng Chong's mastermind, Guo Jia's heart was all for Cheng Chong's sake.
Having obtained such a valiant general, he was also sincerely happy for Cheng Chong.
Cheng Chong laughed.
"Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan from Mayi. They are definitely handsome.”
"Wenyuan, this is a top student from Yingchuan Academy and my number one strategist.”
"You two, get to know each other!"
Zhang Liao bowed slightly.
"Greetings, Brother Fengxiao."
Guo Jia chuckled." It's easy to get a thousand troops, but it's hard to get a general. My lord is indeed my lord. After going out for a while, you actually managed to bring back such a good seedling to lead the army!"”
"The ancients said that planting a parasol tree would attract a phoenix.”
"From the looks of it now, my lord is the parasol tree, and Wen Yuan is the phoenix that came because of its reputation!”
The three of them laughed out loud.
Cheng Chong pointed behind him." Fengxiao, this trip to Mayi not only brought back Wenyuan and a hundred cavalrymen, but also some prisoners and food."”
"Same old rules. I'll leave it all to you!”
In history, Guo Jia's main talents were in military planning and intelligence analysis.
In contrast, he was not very good at internal affairs.
However, he had no problem handling the affairs of Zhongling County.
"Lord, let's put this aside for now!"
"I have a big surprise for you!”
Guo Jia waved his hand. He didn't care about the 1,000 captives and 10,000 dans of food at all.
Cheng Chong couldn't help but feel curious.
"Fengxiao, don't keep me in suspense. What is it? Quickly tell me!”
Guo Jia replied. Then, he narrowed his eyes and carefully scanned the surroundings.
He took a step forward and leaned close to Cheng Chong's ear.
He spoke softly in a tone that only Cheng Chong and Zhang Liao could hear.
"My lord, in the days that you were away, I sent people to explore the surroundings of Ling County.”
"An iron mine was discovered in the south of the city!”
