White horse garrison.

Yao Xiong is riding a tall horse. The horse is red all over except for the white hooves. It is extremely tall and not inferior to a blue lion at all.

His face was full of pride, and he rode his horse proudly and passed in front of many soldiers, taking his time, so that everyone could see clearly the horses under his command and his majestic figure.

Among the good horses sent by those people, Yao Xiong took a fancy to this one at a glance. Liu Taozi rewarded him directly, and Tian Zili helped him name it "Red Rabbit".

Yao Xiong, a big boss, praised Tian Zili repeatedly, thinking that Tian Zili's name was very good, until Cui Gang told him that the name was not Tian Zili's original creation.

There are more than 3,000 people in the Baima garrison.

Among them, there are only four to five hundred elites, and most of the rest are Cangtou.

Their new garrison leader was called Li Qihu, and he was promoted by Liu Taozi because of his military merits.

This guy was a man of few words, but he was brave and capable of fighting. In the previous battle, he beheaded eighteen levels of people by himself, including a powerful commander.

Of course, no one commended him for his contribution. After the battle, the temporary generals let them leave. After learning about it, Liu Taozi, as the general of the town, recognized him as the leader of the White Horse Guards and ordered him to temporarily take charge of this place.

A large army.

He is also quite a famous warrior in the White Horse Garrison, and everyone is extremely convinced of him.

At this moment, the army gathered in the school grounds, looking straight at Yao Xiong as he slowly walked up to the general platform. Yao Xiong had just stepped off the horse, and a soldier took his horse.

Yao Xiong said: "Where is Li Qihu?!"

Li Qihu walked forward quickly and bowed to Yao Xiong, "Meet the General."

Li Qihu has a square face and a beard. He is about forty years old, and his face is full of traces of weathering.

Yao Xiong looked at him and said, "General, I have requested merit for you and have received an edict to officially confer you the title of Chief of the White Horse Guards."

"From now on, you will sit here and train the army. You must abide by the three prohibitions."

Li Qihu trembled, clenched his fists, and saluted Yao Xiong again.

"Thank you General!!"

"Don't be too quick to thank me. The general has also received the rest of your rewards for you. They are all for you!"

Yao Xiong pointed to several large boxes in the distance, stepped forward and took out a sword from them, walked quickly to Li Qihu, and handed the sword to him.

"Those rewards were given to you by the temple. This sword was given to you by the general himself. After hearing about your achievements, he specially gave this sword to you to ask you to make new achievements."

Li Qihu lowered his head and slowly took the sword with both hands.

"Thank you General!!"

Yao Xiong then looked at the rest of the people, "And your rewards have been distributed!!"

“Start distributing now!!”

The soldiers were overjoyed and shouted in unison: "Thank you so much, General!!"

"This is distributed by the Khan, you should thank the Khan!!"

“Thank you Khan!!”

Everyone cheered, and Yao Xiong asked people to distribute the things to them one by one. Li Qihu stood aside and guarded Yao Xiong.

Yao Xiong looked at the ecstatic crowd, then looked at Li Qihu beside him with a smile.

"You are so brave, why haven't you been promoted yet?"

Li Qihu pursed his lips and said, "My subordinate also served as a garrison commander in the past. Due to family ties, he was demoted to Cangtou. He was promoted due to military merit, but he was unable to be promoted again."

"ah?"

Yao Xiong was stunned, then waved his hand, "No problem, my general doesn't care about this. As long as you have merit and follow wholeheartedly, you will be rewarded. This soldier of the White Horse Guards has made mistakes in the past. You must rectify them carefully. Don't make them again."

"only."

Yao Xiong nodded, "I'll leave the rest to you. Leave those peasants to me so that I can take them back to deliver the goods. I will go to several other places tomorrow."

Yao Xiong muttered, and Li Qihu quickly took him to receive the civilian husband he had prepared.

He sacrificed more than 500 people. These people were all in their prime. They didn't look too weak and still had some energy. They were considered the strongest Han people here. Of course, in fact, not all of the people were Han people. Among the Xianbei people, there were also bandits.

In such a poor settlement, many people were arrested and sent to do corvee labor.

Yao Xiong's men counted the number of people and compared the places they passed before escorting them out of Baima garrison.

Baima garrison is not really close to Wuchuan.

These garrisons at the frontier fortress may be close or far apart from each other. The only thing they have in common is that they are all located in the most dangerous places.

Yao Xiong escorted everyone, humming a song, and rode his red rabbit towards Wuchuan.

After walking for several days, we finally arrived at Wuchuan.

They met another team escorting civilian husbands.

Seeing the equally tall horse under the opponent's crotch, Yao Xiong muttered a few words, stepped forward and saluted casually, "Not bad, I was not thrown to death by this horse!"

Yan Heijing rode a big horse and said coldly: "General Yao has never been thrown to death, how could I be thrown to death?"

"Haha, you are really lucky. Not only did you kill Qijin and get the official position, you also got such a good horse!"

Yan Heizhu ignored this guy.

Because he shot and killed many people, and also shot and killed the enemy's "chief general" at a critical moment, he was praised by Liu Taozi, and it can be said that he soared to the sky.

This made Yao Xiong envious. Of course, Yao Xiong now also had a formal official position as a military attache, and his status was still higher than the others. He just envied that the other party was promoted faster than himself.

Zhang Heizu came to greet the two of them. He saluted, and then he ordered people to count them again and accept the peasants they had brought.

These civilians were wearing thin clothes and shivering in the strong wind.

It is now November, and the cold wind in the border fortress is enough to freeze someone.

Ordinary people do not dare to go out. These people have to improvise things from various places and let them wear them before going out.

"Blackfoot, haven't we gathered enough people yet?"

"General Yao, we haven't collected enough yet. We are still short of more than 4,000 men."

Yao Xiong looked at the civilians who followed the military officials into the city and asked in a low voice: "Can these people fight?"

Zhang Heizhu said solemnly: "I am thin and have no strength. I'm afraid I won't be able to wear armor."

Yao Xiong sighed, "It seems that brother's idea is difficult to realize. On the way here just now, I saw that they are all thin and thin, and some of them are not even taller than my waist. Let these people serve as soldiers. I'm afraid

Even ten thousand people can’t defeat a thousand people.”

Yan Heijing suddenly said: "That's because they eat less and work more."

"If we can provide them with meat, plenty of food, daily exercise, and the ability to lift dozens of kilograms of debris, wouldn't they be able to wear armor?"

But Yao Xiong still shook his head, "How much meat do you have to eat to catch up?"

"There is nothing wrong with listening to the general."

Yao Xiong glared at him, "No wonder you got promoted so quickly."

The two were still chatting, but Zhang Heizu had already said goodbye and left.

Zhang Heizu led the civilian workers to the South Campus.

This used to be an important place to welcome guests. Luo had lived here back then, but now it was also used by Liu Taozi to house the auxiliary soldiers.

In accordance with His Majesty's order, Liu Taozi mobilized strong civilians from all over the frontier to add 20,000 auxiliary troops.

At this moment, the South Campus is extremely chaotic, with people coming and going.

The people are still being summoned, and they are not yet full.

Liu Taozi dispersed his own soldiers and let them serve in the auxiliary army. Ordinary soldiers served as officials at the team level, while officers were promoted higher.

Although many people died in this expedition, many brave people stood out, and Liu Taozi selected them to serve as military leaders and building leaders.

Tian Zili once advised him to disperse his soldiers to various garrisons, and let them airborne garrison commanders and other positions to control the entire frontier.

Liu Taozi did not listen to this suggestion. He dispersed his own soldiers among these auxiliary soldiers, used these old soldiers as bones and Han soldiers as flesh and blood to form this new army. However, at the local level, Liu Taozi was just a senior soldier.

To demonstrate military merit, he promoted the bravest among them.

For example, Li Qihu was not Liu Taozi's old subordinate. He himself was a member of the Baima garrison and was just promoted by Liu Taozi.

Zhang Heizu was also granted the title of Military Lord and became a thousand-man-level commander.

It's a pity that only these auxiliary soldiers are in command.

The topic that is hotly discussed in the frontier fortress at the moment is Liu Taozi's execution of Xiren Qijin and the replacement of rewards, as well as the numerous events in which nobles from all over the world bowed their heads and gave gifts.

As for the auxiliary soldiers, it really can't make any waves.

Neither the nobles nor the frontier soldiers cared about these civilians and never thought that the auxiliary soldiers were something worthy of attention.

At the same time, the beaten envoys returned to Jinyang and Yecheng crying.

Yecheng.

Right Prime Minister's Office.
