Keeping the Hejian County soldiers under Yan Peng's command to maintain the highest standards was one of the conditions for Yan Shenghao to lead Hejian County to surrender Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan did do it, but this is a hidden danger of the Eastern Army. Yan Shenghao wanted the Hejian County soldiers to come to Hetao to make achievements to prove the value of Hejian County. Gao Yuan did not say anything. Even if Yan Peng arrived here, Gao Yuan was not unclear about the ability of Hejian County soldiers, or Yan Shenghao and Yan Peng were very proud of their last troops, but it was obvious that they all estimated the ability of this troops too high.<-》 Gao Yuan was very clear, but he didn't want to say it out loud. Some people had to hit the south wall before they could tell, some things were too early to not only have the best effect, but they might also have a counter-effect.

Fortunately, Yan Pengsheng realized too early, although this enlightenment was exchanged for the blood of countless soldiers. Hejian County soldiers voluntarily accepted the reorganization, which was what Gao Yuan wanted.

In addition, what he gained even more was that Luo Weiran and Chen Bin, two former Yan army generals. They had a lot in common, both of whom worked under Kumamoto and both came from civilian families. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be the pinnacle of their military career. A soldier from civilians who had to rely on his own abilities to reach the position of a general step by step, would never be weak.

In fact, the fact that the two of them were able to survive in Kumamoto's vanguard army has proved their value, and in this battle with Yuwen Ke, the two of them even showed their abilities far higher than ordinary people.

Now both of them have heavy troops in the Eastern Army. Perhaps, among the Yan State's standing army, they will never imagine that they will have their current status. They may still have some reminiscence for the Yan State's standing army, but Gao Yuan believes that it will not take long before these two people will become pillars of the Eastern Army.

Shangguan Hong walked in quietly, "Governor, Chen Ping is here."

Retracting his thoughts, Gao Yuan said: "Let him come in."

Chen Ping was a little frightened. He didn't know what Gao Yuan was summoning alone. He was really nervous. Gao Yuan, he naturally had left Daming for a long time. When he advanced to the army in western Liaoning, he had heard countless stories about him. Like him, they were all civilians, but differently, in just five years, this governor Gao was already famous all over the world. Without that man, he did not want to be a powerful man in the world. In the "private", people like them regard Gao Yuan as their idol.

Luo Weiran had already returned to his troops with Yan Peng leaving the Pioneer City. After the two met, they didn't even do anything to chat privately. It was not that they could not, but that they were unwilling to do so. The identities of both of them were a little embarrassed. In such an army, they held heavy troops in their hands. Any strange behavior might be suspicious. Both of them were cautious people. If they were not cautious, they would not have been today.

When he walked into the room, Gao Yuan was lowering his head and reviewing a report. Chen Ping did not disturb him, but carefully looked at the General of the Conquest East who had always been heartbroken in front of him. Compared to himself, Gao Yuan was so young that he was jealous. At his twenties, he had already held several counties and controlled tens of thousands of soldiers. He stomped his feet. Not to mention the whole world, Yan State was going to shake three times. However, he was already thirty-seven, but he had only "missed" to the position of a subordinate general, and finally became a shameless prisoner, although it was not his fault.

Thinking of this, he felt a little sad. Compared to many of his colleagues, he was already lucky. He had no way out. There was a dark and bright village. He thought his military career had ended, but he didn't expect that there would be thousands of soldiers and horses in his hand to launch a desperate charge towards the enemy.

My heart trembled slightly. Looking at the young man who was still writing hard, would the turning point in his life be realized in this person? He is also a civilian. The generals he valued, except Yan Peng, are basically Han's "Sections". Like Sun Xiao, Xu Yuan, and others, they all have high positions in his system, and their skills are no worse than them.

Although Gao Yuan was writing words in his hand, he kept focusing on Chen Bin and perceived his gaze. His breathing went from rapid to stable, and then to rapid, and finally finally completely relaxed himself. Gao Yuan smiled and raised his head, "General Chen Ping!"

"Governor!" Chen Ping passed a military salute. Gao Yuan noticed that he was performing a military salute unique to the Eastern Army, not a ritual that was common among the permanent army of Yan State.

"Sit!" Gao Yuan smiled at a chair beside him.

"There is no seat in front of the governor!" Chen Ping shook his head.

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "There are all brothers in the army. Now they are not the central army tents that are marching and fighting to issue orders. You may not know that when Xu Yuan and the others come to me, they always pull chairs and sit down. When they see good things, they put them in their arms. There is no need to be restrained."

Chen Bin hesitated for a moment, strode to the chair, sat down steadily, put his hands on his knees, and his upper body was straightened.

"You are doing well in the Eastern Army?" Gao Yuan leaned back on the back of the chair, crossing his fingers, very relaxed and casual.

"Very good. If Commander Xu had not sent the army to rescue us, I am afraid that we would still be under the whip of the Donghu people and cultivated fields for them. After arriving here, Commander Xu not only asked us to pick up the weapons again, but also treated us equally with other departments of the Eastern Army. I could even command a combat unit of 5,000 people. I never dared to think about this before."

Gao Yuan laughed, "Xu Yuan knew people and was good at responsibilities. It was because you had this ability that he would give you this opportunity. Similarly, you did a good job and did not disappoint his trust."

"A gentleman dies for his confidant."

Gao Yuan nodded, "Today I came to you, mainly to ask you about the situation of the Donghu army, and I am not afraid of you making jokes. People in the world say that I am the nemesis of the Donghu people, and I will win every battle. Since I have suffered defeat, this is actually nonsense. Not to mention anything else. I escaped from the Donghu army with my tail between my tail. So, I really want to know the specific situation of the Donghu army, especially their Gongwei army."

When Chen Bin heard Gao Yuan mention the war last year, he showed a painful look in his eyes, but in a flash, it turned into a fierce look. Both expressions flashed through his eyes, but he still did not hide it from Gao Yuan's eyes.

He took a deep breath: "Return to the governor, after entering the Donghu controlled area from western Liaoning, our vanguard army has always fought hard battles. From the beginning, it slowly began to be evenly matched. In the end, we finally fought a battle with their Gong Guards at Helin City."

He looked up at Gao Yuan, "The Gong Wei Army is completely different from other Donghu troops."

"How is it different to say more details?"

"The Gong Guards are not many, and they will never exceed 30,000 cavalry. There are less than 10,000 cavalry fighting the last battle under Helin City." Chen Bin raised his head, closed his eyes slightly, and his mind kept flashing the bloody scenes of the last battle: "Unlike the ordinary Donghu army, the Gong Guards fight with strict combat formation and formation changes, and their reactions are all the only ones that last generals have seen in their lives. Our Yan ** team has few cavalry because they pay more attention to this kind of formation change in order to rely on the strength of the team to fight against the enemy.

, while the general Donghu army does not care about this. They rely more on their superb equestrians and cavalry to attack and attack. Such an army is not a good idea. Once a battle against the wind is fought, it will not last long. Of course, this is also determined by the characteristics of the nomadic peoples, but their palace guards have subverted our idea. Because of their superb cycling skills, they have more swaying formations. Many of the tactics that we had imagined before were unable to complete because of the quality of the cavalry, but in their hands, "

"How many people were left of you at that time?" Gao Yuan asked.

"At that time, there were less than 10,000 people left in the vanguard army." Chen Bin said, but he immediately said: "But the governor, the number of cavalrymen was about the same as ours, but when the infantry formed a close battle formation, the number of cavalrymen was not afraid of, because what they were terrible was the first round of attacks, so we still had the belief of winning at that time. Of course, it ended up giving us a heavy blow."

Gao Yuan frowned. Chen Bin was not a person who was afraid of death. It can be seen from his performance in this battle, but he obviously had fear of the Gong Weijun.

"After this battle, have you ever thought about how to defeat this Gongwei Army?" Gao Yuan asked.

Chen Bin's 'sex' finally cheered up a little, "Of course I thought about it, I dreamed, but there was no good way, unless there was a cavalry with similar combat power as them, I didn't see a glimmer of hope until I arrived in the East Army."

"Oh, do you think the Eastern Army has the ability to fight against them?" Gao Yuan asked in surprise: "To be honest, I don't think the Eastern Army's combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the Standing Army?"

"The East Army has a powerful weapon to deal with cavalry!" Chen Bin said.

"You mean arm-opening crossbow."

"Yes,."

"Four meters long?" Gao Yuan asked in surprise.

"Yes, four meters long, there is no need to use good materials. Just 'shoot' a four-meter-long wooden pole, first perform long-range strikes as much as possible, and then fight against the opponent's formation. With this four-meter-long spear, you should be able to defeat it."

“How much does it cost?”

"It depends on the specific situation." Chen Bin told the truth, "If our side is prepared, casualties can be controlled at 2 to 1, and a large number of casualties will only occur in the short period of contact between the two sides, and then they will be under the control of our army. If our side is not prepared enough, there is no chance of winning."

Gao Yuan took a breath, wouldn't this mean that they had to fill in the 30,000 palace guards themselves?

"Since you think this method is feasible, you'll be 'handed' about this."

"Three months to half a year."

"Okay, let's use this as the deadline. I think we will meet the other party's Gongwei Army in half a year. At that time, I hope you won't let me down." Gao Yuan said.

"It must not be!" Chen Bin stood up suddenly.

Gao Yuan looked at the other party and suddenly asked with a smile: "General Chen, if one day you can go back to the Yan State's permanent army, will you go back?"

Chen Bin was stunned for a moment and suddenly laughed, "Governor, I am just a small general in the standing army. I have less than a thousand soldiers. I have to look at the faces of some people in everything. I often worry that I can't even save this position. Whenever some children of aristocratic families come to the army to overcome the Jin Dynasty, we are scared. But when we arrive in the East Army, I now lead an army of 5,000 people and have the opportunity to fight with the Donghu people. My road in the Standing Army has reached the end, but in the East Army, my journey has just begun."
