Chapter 244 The Supreme General

Liu Ye has consciously formed a cavalry unit since he started as a cavalry force in Licheng. When he was a military lord and a Sima, there were hundreds of cavalry in the army. What Liu Ye is best at is leading the cavalry into the formation. The infantry concealed the kill.

However, the Central Plains is not a land of horses after all, and the cost of raising cavalry is far more than that of infantry. However, when Liu Ye goes to Liangzhou, he does not have to worry about horses. The farm cattle are much cheaper.

Under Liu Ye's command, more than a thousand Liangzhou iron cavalry galloped left and right in the wilderness outside Luoyang City. Although the number was far smaller than that of the Northern Army, the Habayashi Army and the Sanhe Knights, they all had experience fighting the Qiang people. The elite cavalry pawns are like arms and fingers.

Especially the round of galloping and shooting just now was very amazing. You must know that the impact and mobility of cavalry far surpassed that of ordinary infantry. If they can ride and shoot again, they are simply all-round troops.

Liu Ye raised his spear, and the Qi in his dantian gathered together, and his voice was so loud that it could be heard for miles.

"Big man, long live!"

"Big man, long live!"

Seeing more than a thousand iron cavalry under Liu Ye's command, Emperor Ling could not help but smile slightly, and waved to the Liangzhou iron cavalry. His trust in Liu Ye went up to a new level. With such a strong general and a strong army under his command, wouldn't Liangzhou be stable?

Tens of thousands of troops stood in formation, in the wilderness around the high platform, and the armor leaves of the soldiers in the formation rubbed against each other, a sense of power emerged spontaneously, and the Emperor Ling, who was surrounded by thousands of troops, was very happy.

The army's banners were unfurled, the new wind was blowing head-on, and the billowing yellow sand was shrouded, but the army remained unmoved like iron.

He Jin who was on the side also saw his blood boil, facing Lingdi, his voice unconsciously raised an octave.

"Your Majesty! My big fellow soldiers are ready to fight, please Your Majesty to review the troops on horseback."

Emperor Ling nodded, and a minister next to him came forward holding a jade plate covered with yellow silk.

Emperor Ling uncovered the yellow silk, revealing an exquisitely crafted saber with a sheath. The scabbard alone is inlaid with gemstones of various colors. It is not clear whether this sword can be used to kill the enemy, but it is worth a lot. of.

Emperor Ling took the long sword and drew it out of its sheath, a cold light suddenly appeared, and he couldn't help admiring.

"Good sword."

This sword was carefully forged by a well-known skilled craftsman in Luoyang.

Holding the sword in his hand, Emperor Ling said loudly: "I proclaim myself the Supreme General today, all the generals don't need to salute me, just a military salute."

The cheers in the army were like thunder, and countless soldiers raised their spears one after another, cheering happily.

"Supreme General!"

Emperor Ling put the long sword back to his waist, and the soldiers of the Jinwu Guards who were standing next to him walked up to Emperor Ling holding a golden spear and jade halberd, and then pulled out a tall and strong horse with a yellow mane. , but it has been tamed, and it is a mare, so its temperament is quite docile.

With the help of Jinwuwei, Emperor Ling got on his horse. In fact, the prototype of stirrup had already appeared at the end of Han Dynasty, but it was relatively simple. On the other hand, he followed carefully and waited on him, for fear that Emperor Ling would fall off his horse.

After Lingdi got on his horse, he stretched out his hand to hold the saber at his waist, surrounded by many Jinwu guards and the Chinese and military ministers of the court headed by He Jin, walked slowly, reviewing the troops.

Naturally, the emperor had to be extremely vigilant when he was on tour, but this time was the closest that Emperor Ling and the soldiers of the army had come to rely on. The soldiers in the front row were able to see Emperor Ling's face clearly, and they were extremely excited.

It is a supreme honor to be able to be the Son of Heaven's pro-army. Not to mention, when you get old, you can tell your children and grandchildren: Your grandfather and I have seen the Son of Heaven with our own eyes.

Countless Han soldiers in the back row immediately stretched their necks, eager to see the face of the emperor. Emperor Ling was riding a horse, and every time he passed in front of a soldier, the soldiers beside him immediately cheered, so Emperor Ling was surrounded by the cheers of countless soldiers from the beginning to the end, but he didn't take it seriously.

Liu Ye stood at the forefront of the army on horseback, standing still like a statue, waiting for the Ling Emperor to come.

Gradually, Emperor Ling finished reviewing the troops in front, and finally came to Liangzhou soldiers.

Liu Ye casually stuck the spear on the ground, and drew out the long sword at his waist, with a serious expression on his face.

"Supreme General!"

More than a thousand Liangzhou cavalry cheered loudly, Emperor Ling nodded with a smile, and walked straight to Liu Ye.

In front of the soldiers of the three armies, Emperor Ling praised Liu Ye: "Yuqing, you defeated Han Sui and pacified Liangzhou. You are a true loyal minister."

Liu Ye said fearfully: "Why did your majesty say that? As a general of a great man, he is supposed to protect the territory of a great man. Your majesty's praise is really a shame."

Emperor Ling put the sword into the sheath without hesitation, and then handed it out: "Yuqing, this sword is a reward for you. Officials below a thousand stones have the right to behead first and then play. When they are about to fight, they can behead officials below the lieutenant colonel as a reward." Your contribution to suppressing rebellion."

Liu Ye was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Emperor Ling would have such a reward.

In fact, the Emperor Ling originally wanted to give Liu Ye the right to holiday, but Liu Ye's age is a flaw. Liu Ye is only 25 years old so far. Even if Liu Ye is over 30 years old, the Emperor Ling will give it to him He faked his axe.

"Thank you for the sword, Your Majesty." Liu Ye put the sword back into his waist casually, and then solemnly took Lingdi's sword with both hands.

Emperor Ling smiled and said, "Leave the matter of Liangzhou to Yuqing."

After Liu Ye received Lingdi's saber, he immediately rode out into battle, holding a long sword in his hand, and circled around in front of Wanjun.

Many Northern Army soldiers and Sanhe knights had fought with Huangfusong, and witnessed Liu Ye's bravery in the battle among a hundred thousand yellow scarves. They were deeply impressed by Liu Ye, so when they saw Liu Ye holding a sword, they cheered loudly .

"Sword of the Son of Heaven, Sword of the Son of Heaven!"

Liu Ye walked around the arena amidst cheers, and then returned to the Liangzhou cavalry formation.

After the novelty of the military parade passed, Emperor Ling also felt a little tired. Although the horse's back was covered with soft fur, it still made his rather delicate inner thighs ache a bit.

After inspecting the troops, Emperor Ling forcibly cheered up and watched them leave the stronghold and return to the barracks with his own eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get up and go back to the palace." Emperor Ling waved his hand wearily, and then, surrounded by civil and military officials, slowly descended from the high platform and entered Luoyang City from the west gate.

And Liu Ye's mission to Luoyang was basically completed, but this Tianzi Sword was obtained by accident. With this Tianzi Sword, Liu Ye's rule in Liangzhou can be said to be solid, and the authority in the army is getting deeper and deeper.
