Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 211: Jianshen Tiger Cavalry
Seeing that Liu He accepted it, Guan Yu and others breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, they had been thinking about this for a long time. The attack on Liu He by Zhang Niujiao's three thousand personal soldiers in this battle was full of dangers, which made them more determined in this idea. So they got together and picked out this group of people.

Zhu Ye on the side shouted: "Brother, what kind of weapons should we equip them with? Also, should we make them cavalry or infantry? Hmm... I think it would be a good idea to use my newly trained hammer cavalry to guard you, but my second brother and the others won't allow it."

Guan Yu laughed and said, "Dehui, when will your hammer cavalry be properly trained? You gave each of them a single hammer weighing more than 90 kilograms, but now they can't even ride a horse with a hammer. If I want to count on them for protection, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next year, haha!"

Zhu Ye pursed his lips, looking somewhat unconvinced, but he couldn't seem to think of any reason to refute.

"Then I also think cavalry is better. Otherwise, when big brother charges out, the infantry may not be able to keep up, so how can they protect us? Ah... it would be best if everyone rode an exotic beast like the Black King like big brother. Tsk tsk tsk, they can scare the enemy to death, haha!"

His words brightened the eyes of everyone present, including the one hundred soldiers, who seemed to have some wild thoughts.

Being able to travel the world as a cavalryman is already a real man's dream. If the cavalryman is Liu He's Black Tiger, the thought of it would make one go crazy with joy. One would be willing to do it even without food or pay!
Even Cui Jun became a little excited.

"General Wu, this is a brilliant idea! If we can really train a group of personal guards like this, even if they don't actually charge into battle, the deterrent effect on the enemy will be unquestionable! Especially for cavalry, what kind of warhorse can withstand the roar of a hundred fierce tigers? Now that our army is facing such a powerful enemy like the Xianbei, if we can have such a secret weapon, I'm afraid we will achieve unparalleled merit in future battles!"

Zhu Ye's joking suggestion immediately excited everyone present. The hundred soldiers stared with their eyes wide open and their hearts in their throats, waiting for Liu He to nod and agree to this plan.

"What the military advisor said makes sense! If that's the case, then big brother can lead this army to hold the line in the rear, which will be enough to break the enemy's morale. Then we brothers can charge out and achieve twice the result with half the effort! Sweeping the grassland and rebuilding the defense of Huo will not be empty talk!"

"Okay, okay! Fourth brother and the military advisor's analysis is damn right! I, Cheng Liang, am the first one to agree with it! But I have a request. If such a guard team is really to be formed, I want to be the captain. Haha, it's exciting just thinking about it!"

"Brother San, come on, your Qilin Roar is the best horse in the world, why are you competing with us? I'll be the captain!"

"Go, go, take your hammer cavalry. They haven't finished training yet. And you're thinking about my guards again. You're distracted. Be careful that I'll beat you up!"

"I don't care. This is my suggestion. I am the most suitable person to be the captain of the guard. If you are capable, you should also come up with such a good idea, Third Brother."

The two of them argued until their faces turned red and their necks became thick, but Guan Yu, Zhang Yong and Ye Xiang remained silent.

In fact, the three of them also wanted to be the captain, but they were not as carefree as Cheng Liang and Zhu Ye. It was really embarrassing to argue in front of so many soldiers. Even if they wanted to be the captain, they didn't have the face to speak up.

Liu He looked helpless. Who on earth was going to form a guard? Why did he not even have a say?

However, Zhu Ye's suggestion really touched me. If this army could really be established, its combat effectiveness would be so strong that it would surpass all the armies of the princes in the late Han Dynasty and be unparalleled. This was probably not an empty statement.

"Ahem... stop arguing. I'm the one who's organizing the guards. I haven't said anything yet. Why are you arguing?"

After Liu He, the main person, spoke, Cheng Liang and Zhu Ye finally quieted down. However, they still looked at Liu He with wide eyes and expectation, hoping to impress Liu He with this "sincere look".

Liu He got goosebumps when he was looked at by the two of them, and he hit each of them on the head with a chestnut.

"Go away, don't look at me like that. Fifth brother's suggestion is indeed good and deserves praise." Zhu Ye immediately raised his head high and looked at Cheng Liang provocatively, making Cheng Liang very angry.

"As for the selection of the captain of the personal guard..."

Liu He deliberately dragged out his words, causing Guan Yu and others to stretch their necks, waiting for him to say the last few words.

Liu He paced back and forth, but he didn't say who he would choose. It wasn't that he was deliberately trying to keep people on edge, he just hadn't made up his mind yet, after all, this happened too suddenly.

"Originally, it would be convenient for me to be the captain of the personal guard. However, I am the commander of 85,000 troops after all. When I command the entire army, I have to divide my attention to command the guard. It is inevitable that there will be occasional mistakes. Letting a confidant follow and protect the personal guard is also a good idea."

"Second brother and fourth brother are definitely not suitable. They are both good commanders and have good intelligence. It would be a pity to use them to lead my personal guard. It is better to keep them to lead a large army. Moreover, Yunchang is responsible for the important task of 1,500 cavalrymen. We cannot lose them."

"As for Lao Wu, his command level is 72 and his intelligence level is 71, which is considered average. He is not good enough to be independent, but he is training his hammer cavalry to be quite good. I am afraid that the hammer cavalry will be very useful in the future. I can't lose sight of one while focusing on the other."

"Ye Xiang is even worse. He is good at archery, but his fighting ability is far inferior to mine. If he serves as my bodyguard, I don't know who will protect whom. And if he leaves, the archery unit will be without a commander, which will be a problem."

"Looking at it this way, it seems that only my third brother is the most suitable. He currently only has 60 points in command, and he currently leads an army of more than people. They have already shown some shortcomings in the last war, so it is definitely more than enough for him to have a personal guard of people by my side. Even if the number of personal guards is expanded in the future, it should be enough to do the job."

"Also, his special skill of 'Blood Evil' is only suitable for being a guard or a vanguard. It would be a bit of a waste for him to be the commander of an army."

Liu He looked at Cheng Liang and asked, "Third brother, if you want to be the commander of my personal guard, then your army of more than 10,000 people will have to be divided among others. From commanding more than 10,000 people to only having 100 people, are you really willing to accept that?"

Cheng Liang grinned and said, "Hey, big brother, what are you talking about? We brothers have been following you for many years, and we are asking for wealth, power and fame. I am a rough man, but I know myself. I am not as knowledgeable as my second and third brothers. I am not as good as my fifth brother in martial arts, and I am not as good as Xiangzi in archery. It is already a stretch for me to lead more than 10,000 people. I would love to be able to protect you at any time!"

Liu He was moved. Although the world was vast and there were many people, he and his brothers were the most reliable and intimate ones after all.

He put his hands on Cheng Liang's shoulders and said earnestly, "Good! You are worthy of being my third brother! From today on, the task of organizing and training the personal guard will be handed over to you, Gongyi. There are many ferocious beasts in the Yanmen Mountains. You can take Zhao Chang and a group of soldiers to do this task yourself."

Cheng Liang felt like he had found a treasure and was so excited that tears and snot were streaming down his face.

"Brother! I am the most incompetent among all the brothers. You have entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility. I, Cheng Liang, swear that if anyone wants to hurt you, they must step over my dead body! If there is any mistake in this matter, I am willing to be punished by military law!"

Liu He patted him on the shoulder and said, "We have been sworn brothers for many years. If I can't even trust you guys, who else can I trust? Within half a month, prepare tiger cubs for the 100 Divine Tiger Riders and raise them slowly. I will come to inspect them, and you can bring the Black King with you if necessary. As for the weapons, I will personally instruct the three blacksmiths to do it."

"Haha, don't worry, big brother. I promise to complete the task!"

Cheng Liang wiped his nose, turned around and went to carry out his mission.

The 100 soldiers followed him without any explanation. Since Cheng Liang was already their commander, and he was going to carry out the mission for this unit, why shouldn't these soldiers follow him?
Although Guan Yu and others felt a little regretful that they could not become the captain, the five brothers were like one, and if Cheng Liang did it, it would be the same as if they did it.
