Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, the cool autumn gradually passed, replaced by a white rain of flowers.

Winter is coming!

A few miles away from Zhuo County, in the military camp.

This is a cavalry camp newly built by Su Yan, which is specially used to train cavalry.

Because the terrain nearby is relatively flat and all plains, it is the most suitable place to build a horse farm.

Su Yan put all the cavalry here for training, and then divided it into two camps.

One is the Po Lu Camp, which is trained by Zhao Yun as the main general and follows his Hufu Knight training method. The Po

Lu Camp is mainly composed of light cavalry, mainly used for long-distance raids, with strong mobility, responsible for sneak attacks, harassment, and ambushes.

In the Po Lu Camp, in addition to the regular Hudao Knights, Su Yan also asked Zhao Yun to train a group of white horse volunteers. The

500 white horses that were threatened to come from Yan Gang before cannot be wasted, so just use them all.

Although Zhao Yun was just a small general in the White Horse Volunteers before, he had read military books and knew how to march and deploy troops.

He had also been in the Baima Yicong for two years, so he had a thorough understanding of the training methods.

Su Yan took the opportunity to let him form a new Baima Yicong.

The Baima Yicong had 500 people, and the Hufu Knights had 2,000 people, which added up to 2,500 people.

This was the number of light cavalry in the Po Lu Camp.

The other cavalry was the Flying Tiger Camp led by Dian Wei.

The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Camp were all veterans, all of them were elites with rich experience.

Seeing this, Su Yan simply did not mix them with the Po Lu Camp, but took them out separately and formed a heavy cavalry!

Heavy cavalry is also called a mobile steel fortress!

A cavalryman, including the man and the horse, is covered in thick iron armor, with only the horse's calf exposed.

The mobility of heavy cavalry is not strong and is not suitable for long-distance combat.

However, its impact is very strong. As a very special assault strategic force on the battlefield, it can bring strong impact and psychological pressure to the enemy legion.

The enemy's defense line is often broken because of its powerful ability, which leads to the decline of morale and defeat.

The training of heavy cavalry is very hard, much more difficult than that of light cavalry, so Su Yan chose all elites.

This is a complete waste of money, because the heavy armor required is too expensive.

The money to arm a heavy cavalry is enough to arm a small light cavalry.

If Su Yan had so much money, he might as well keep it to form the Qin Ruishi.

However, when completing the selection of rewards, the system gave a thousand sets of armor, a thousand war halberds, and a thousand good war horses.

At first, Su Yan was wondering what these meant.

Later, he realized that it was used to form heavy cavalry.

It happened that the horses, armor, and weapons were all there! The only thing missing was people!

Su Yan took this opportunity to form a heavy cavalry of 500 people, and the number was exactly the original Flying Tiger Camp.

Now that winter has arrived, the military training should be relatively reduced, but preparations should be made for cold protection and heating.

Su Yan also asked Du Ji to raise a large number of cotton clothes for the soldiers to spend the winter.

Of course, he did not forget the infantry on Baixiong Ridge and prepared them one by one.

After the reorganization and recruitment, the infantry also had 3,000 people, temporarily managed by his two military officers, Lin Zhen and Chen Jian.

When Taishi Ci came back, Su Yan was going to let him take charge.

Winter was coming, and after he was responsible for handling some winter affairs, things gradually became idle.

Just at this time, Zou Yu came to him again. During this period, Zou Yu basically came back to chat with him whenever he was free.

Su Yan was not stupid. If he couldn't see that she liked him after such a long time, he would have lived in vain. After such a long time together, Su Yan slowly had feelings. After all, people's hearts are not made of iron, and they will fall in love with each other over time. Finally, the two of them expressed their feelings one day.

Su Yan promised her that he would take her to Ji County in another month, during the Spring Festival.

At that time, he would tell Su Ping about it in person, and then let his father decide, and the two would get married.

Zou Yu got his promise and was very happy. Later, she told her father Zou Zhi about it.

Zou Zhi was also very happy when he knew about it, because their family finally got in touch with the state government.

Although the Zou family is a big merchant family in Youzhou, the status of merchants is low, and they are still inferior to many gentry.

Zou Zhi has always hoped to connect with the gentry so that the Zou family will no longer be relegated to the lower class.

Su Yan is a target he is very optimistic about.

According to his eyesight, Su Yan's future achievements will definitely not be low, and even the entire Youzhou cannot trap him. After all, icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow.

So take advantage of this time to bet early and take the first step from the dragon chess.

The person he admires most is Lu Buwei, a big merchant in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The principle that rare goods are worth living is even more regarded as the truth by him.

He believes in his vision, and the Zou family will definitely rise because of Su Yan!

Taking advantage of the fact that the two have made up their minds now, Zou Zhi also showed his cards to Su Yan, and then expressed his full support for Su Yan, even if it means spending all the property of the Zou family.

In this way, in addition to his own way of making money from wine, Su Yan also got the support of the Zou family, and his financial resources became strong.

He planned to prepare to expand the army and set up the Iron Eagle Sharp Warriors after the winter.

"Report!"

In the study, Su Yan was handling official business when the servant's voice sounded outside.

"Sir, the county magistrate wants to see you."

"please come in!"

""Yes!"

The attendant left, and soon Du Ji was invited in, and then Su Yan asked someone to add a brazier.

"My Lord, there is good news."

Du Ji smiled as he sat down.

Su Yan looked at him and said with a smile,"I have seen you smiling since you came in, and I know there must be something good. Tell me."

Du Ji shook his head and smiled,"This good news is about you."

"What's up?"

"I just got the news that after the state government received our letter, they praised you for defeating the Wuhuan cavalry, and the governor even ordered you to be appointed as the governor of Zhuo County."

After Du Ji finished speaking, he looked at Su Yan and found that he looked very calm.

"My lord, are you unhappy?"

"Of course I'm happy. Who wouldn't be happy after getting promoted?"

Su Yan smiled and said,"I was thinking that the news came a little late. After all, it's been two months since I defeated the Wuhuan cavalry."

"I heard that they wanted to reward you earlier, but because the rebels in the north began to counterattack, the state government temporarily delayed this matter."

"It is said that the rebels withdrew from Youbeiping and gathered in Liaoxi, but Gongsun Zan pursued them but was defeated and had to return to Youbeiping."

"The imperial court also issued an edict, appointing him as the lieutenant of surrendered prisoners, conferring him the title of Marquis of Duting, and concurrently serving as the governor of Youbeiping County, responsible for guarding the border."

Du Ji said slowly.
