After the Battle of Luoyang, the Ma family completely occupied all areas of Sili: the cavalry and infantry regiments of Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Yang Feng, and Liang Xing were enfeoffed and reorganized, and immediately went to Hulao and Sishui Pass, respectively.
Guard the two gates of the Ma family.
Then the 100,000 Ma Jiajun rushed to Luoyang like a tide, hunting down the remnants of Han Siam and the large and small bandits entrenched in Luoyang.
Two days later, when Dong Zhao delivered the battle report in Luoyang to Ma Chao, the Ma family became a super predator spanning two states and eyeing Guandong.
What Ma Chao then did was to receive the honorary title.
He promised a large sum of money, and sure enough, he used the number of enemy heads killed in the battle of Luoyang that day as the standard of military merit and canonized all his generals.
But what made him angry and unwilling was that Zhao Yun, who participated in the battle to quell the Luoyang thieves and was at the forefront of his achievements, still refused to accept the honorary title from the Ma family.
He insisted on serving Tong Yuan in Chang'an as a guest general.
In desperation, Ma Chao had no choice but to canonize those meritorious generals first.
Since the Ma family was in great military strength at this time, Ma Chao took the position of military attache under his command, and added levels of southeast, northwest and level above Zhonglang General to organize corps to control the troops and horses, and arranged deputy generals to assist them.
At present, the official positions of Ma family generals are: Pang De was granted the title of General Pingdong and led a brigade of Xiliang cavalry.
One of the regiments of Xiliang cavalry was Pound's former subordinate.
The other two regiments of Xiliang soldiers and horses were naturally drawn from the 60,000-strong army and reorganized.
But in terms of weapons and equipment, they were far inferior to Pound's previous group of Xiliang elite cavalry.
The reason is naturally because Ma Chao has to postpone equipping the Ma Jiajun in order to cope with the three consecutive natural disasters next year.
Huang Yuan was granted the title of Ying Yang Zhonglang General, and Ma Dai was appointed the Dang Kou Zhonglang General.
They were incorporated into the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Regiment, each leading troops and horses.
The entire Xiliang Iron Cavalry Regiment totaled a division of 33,000 people and was stationed in Luoyang.
Xu Huang was granted the title of General Pingnan, and Li Yan was appointed his deputy as General Zhaoyi.
He led two battalions of heavy armored cavalry to defend Chang'an.
Zhang Liao was made the General of Pingxi, and Zhang Xiu was his deputy as the General of the Rebellion.
He led two battalions of well-equipped Yanbei Cavalry to defend Chang'an.
Gao Shun was appointed General Pingbei, and Wei Yan was appointed General Jianwei as his deputy.
He led one battalion of heavy armored infantry and one battalion fell into the camp to defend Chang'an.
Xu Rong was granted the title of Zhonglang General of the Guards, followed by Fan Chou and Zhang Ji as partial generals.
He led a battalion of the reorganized Huben Army and a battalion of chariot assault troops to defend Chang'an.
As for Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Yang Feng and Liang Xing, they are still partial generals.
However, the number of soldiers and horses under his command doubled.
Due to strategic needs, it has been stationed at Hulao and Sishui Pass.
The above-mentioned reorganized troops and horses totaled more than 90,000 people.
There are another 30,000 unorganized troops, which are trained and promoted by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun as a reserve army.
If there is a war, the Ministry of War will submit a mobilization plan, and after approval by Ma Chao, a general will be appointed to lead the army.
Ma Chao put a lot of thought into this reorganization.
First of all, in terms of organizing the army, Ma Chao has set a precedent for this era.
However, because currently he only has the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Regiment that has reached an undisputed size, Ma Chao is still working hard to reorganize and improve other regiments, either due to geographical or other reasons.
But in any case, it was only after careful consideration that Ma Chao came up with the best way to resolve the factional disputes among his generals and the formation of the legion: factional disputes are not terrible, but the terrible thing is that the main point of factional disputes is not in military exploits and killing enemies, but in On top of internal strife.
After forming the legion, as long as Ma Chao still adheres to the military style of running the army first, the generals under his command will definitely become howling wild wolves in order to win honor for the legion.
As long as the enemy can be killed in battle, it is normal for the general to be a little angry.
From now on, what Ma Chao fears is not that they fight, but that they don't fight bravely for credit.
But after the canonization order was announced, His Highness looked unhappy, and finally stood up angrily before Ma Chao announced the next item of discussion.
"My lord, I am not convinced."
Wei Yan finally became angry and shouted at Ma Chao: "Why did a certain family kill 671 people, but General Pang only killed 653 people, but his official position was higher than that of a certain family?"
Two levels above” "Wei Yan!"
Before the horse could make a sound, Brother Chou immediately turned ferocious after hearing this.
He came up and shouted, "Are you blaming the lord for the unfair reward?"

All the generals looked at Wei Yan one after another.
Li Yan, in particular, looked at Wei Yan with a strange and suspicious expression: Li Yan and Wei Yan entered Ma's house together, so the two became more familiar with each other.
From this, Li Yan learned that Wei Yan, under Liu Biao in Jingzhou, only had an order to guard the city and had only a few soldiers.
But now he has become a general who controls more than a thousand people.
His net worth has increased several times in a short time, and he even feels that Ma Chao's reward is unfair.
With such courage, Li Yan didn't know whether to say that Wei Yan was justified or greedy.
Most of the people in the main hall think the same as Li Yan.
Especially the veteran generals of the Ma family were extremely angry at Wei Yan's lawless behavior.
If Brother Chou hadn't been the first to shout it out due to his straightforward personality, everyone would have scolded Wei Yan endlessly.
But Wei Yan endured everyone's angry looks and gritted his teeth and knelt in the main hall.
Li Hei's face turned red due to anger and urgency, and his voice was high and sharp: "My lord, I must win that position." , just your As I said before, rewards are based on military merit.
Although the subordinates have nothing to offer, they just accept death.
In the troubled world, those nobles are greedy for life and fear death, but they are in high positions, and the subordinates are not satisfied. " After saying this, Wei Yan seemed to give up, and while kowtowing vigorously, he continued: "When I was in Jingzhou, I heard that Ma Jiadan was a hero by military merit, and I already admired him in my heart.
Even if there is no shadow to look for me, I have already You were ready to defect to the Ma family, but now, if you don’t make your subordinates sincerely convinced, they will be killed on their knees here.”
"Presumptuous" Now, even Pang De didn't care about avoiding suspicion.
He took a step forward and said: "Wei Yan, are you trying to intimidate the lord?
You are so brave?"
But Ma Chao waved his hand and stopped Pang De's move.
Ma Chao was still angry that Zhao Yun refused to join the Ma family, so his mind was not entirely on the main hall.
He slowly turned his head and watched Wei Yan's expression carefully.
The face was indescribable, as if Wei Yan wanted to say something more, but finally closed his mouth.
He couldn't help but sigh: Who said Wei Yan was born to be rebellious?
People like Wei Yan, in Ma Chao's previous life, could only be described as a stupid young man who accepted death.
He is talented, responsible, and has principles and goals in mind, but his only shortcoming is that he needs others to agree with his goals.
However, what ancient feudal society needed was the spirit of self-sacrifice of generals.
If an angular general like Wei Yan is suppressed for a long time, he will naturally try his best to rebound to prove his existence.
As a result, it gives people the impression of being overly truthful and competitive.
Even at the last moment, he would risk the world's disapproval to stick to his goal.
Zhuge Liang is a prime minister through the ages, but when it comes to Wei Yan, to be honest, he is not as good as Liu Bei.
Liu Bei dared to appoint Wei Yan to guard Hanzhong because he knew Wei Yan's abilities and goals in his heart, and concluded that Wei Yan would not rebel against him.
And can I compare to the legendary man who sells straw sandals?
Ma Chao didn't think about this.
He just stood up and walked to Wei Yan, who was kowtowing hard and blood slowly seeping out from the wound on his forehead.
Looking at his persistent look, he frowned, helped him up and said, "Chang Wen, you only saw the merits of killing the enemy, but you have thought about how many soldiers and horses you lost in that battle and how many Ling Ming lost. " Wei Yan was stunned.
Even if he persisted, he would not deny the fact that he was greedy for merit and rushed forward, causing his soldiers to fall into the trap and die in vain.
From this, he wanted to kneel down to apologize again.
But Ma Chao supported him and comforted him: "It is indeed the tradition of the Ma family to kill the enemy to gain merit.
But the Ma family is not a war-loving prince who only lives by killing.
The Ma family fights for The welfare of the common people in the world is to ensure that the next generation will no longer have wars.
And the soldiers who fight for us are also the lives of the common people.
Naturally, their lives and deaths will be counted as military merits.
So, you may think that I am still unfair.
"place" "Lord" Wei Yan suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red and swollen, and he choked with sobs and said: "From today onwards, if the general has any doubts about the Ma family, he will be struck with five thunders." s: I originally planned to update ten times today, but Yinqiu is ill after all and has trouble thinking.
I updated eight chapters today, and there are two chapters left.
I will try to make up for them tomorrow.
