Watching Wang Ying leave, Zhou Yang smiled faintly, marveling in his heart how great it was to be rich!
No matter whether it was beautiful women, luxurious villas, or precious cars, they were all within reach. Then, Zhou Yang drove straight back to the villa.
He had a beautiful sleep and returned to the room of the late Han and Three Kingdoms the next morning.
"Someone."
Zhou Yang called out to the door, and Xiao Guizi looked in shock at Zhou Yang in the room. When he had instructed someone to clean the room earlier, he found no one inside. In the blink of an eye, the Grand Master had appeared in the room.
Could the Grand Master really be a god?
"Take me to the Cavalry Camp." Zhou Yang wanted to see how the iron cavalry selected by Cao Cao and others looked. The sight of tens of thousands of horses galloping was much more spectacular than any Hollywood blockbuster.
The Cavalry Camp was located twenty miles south of Luoyang.
Riding a fast horse, it took about twenty minutes for Zhou Yang to reach the Cavalry Camp. From a distance, it was magnificent.
The Cavalry Camp stretched for dozens of miles, with rows of spears and swords standing tall, and the air was filled with a solemn military atmosphere. Ten thousand iron cavalry were lined up, ready to move at a command.
Countless birds took flight in panic from the surrounding forests.
Occasionally, a strong wind would blow, but it would dissipate before the galloping iron cavalry, only gently stirring the black war flags.
The black war flags waved like rolling waves, and one golden flag was particularly eye-catching, with a large "Han" character embroidered on it.
"Stop, who are you?" A loud shout came, and the soldiers at the checkpoint raised their bows and crossbows, pointing their long spears at Zhou Yang, their cold eyes stopping him from advancing.
Zhou Yang was puzzled about how to respond when Xiao Guizi, with a bold and imposing manner, walked up to the soldiers and shouted, "Ridiculous, have you gone blind? Don't you recognize the Grand Master? He has come to inspect the Cavalry Camp. Get out of the way if you know what's good for you."
Xiao Guizi's words not only stunned the soldiers but also Zhou Yang.
How can you be so cocky?
The soldiers, after being scolded by Xiao Guizi, dared not stop Zhou Yang. As the saying goes, when you beat a dog, you must look at its owner. Conversely, to guess the owner's identity, you look at how much the lackeys bark. Clearly, Xiao Guizi was very qualified.
The checkpoint opened, and Zhou Yang entered the camp with the checkpoint soldiers. Each cavalryman wore a black leather armor, held a straight and cold black spear, and had a crescent moon saber at their waist. Each one had a strong physique, and their cold eyes exuded a ferocious aura like tigers or wolves. Their warhorses had long, strong limbs and muscular bodies, as if made of steel. This was the newly formed Cavalry Camp.
Under the golden flag, Lü Bu wore exquisite silver armor, his red battle robe fluttering in the wind. He held a halberd, and his horse was a fiery red, like a dragon of fire. His tiger-like eyes were sharp, and the cavalry moved as he pointed his halberd.
Even Zhou Yang, who knew little about military camps, could tell that this was a group of elite iron cavalry. Under the iron cavalry, all enemies would be obliterated.
"Such a mighty aura!" Zhou Yang praised.
Since ancient times, the regions of You, Bing, and Liang have been known for their elite cavalry. This camp gathered the most elite iron cavalry from Bing and Liang, making it intimidating to behold.
If such an elite iron cavalry could be assembled to fifty thousand, equipped with modern weapons, defeating the Eastern Turks would be no problem.
Lü Bu naturally noticed Zhou Yang's arrival and pointed his halberd to the sky. Ten thousand iron cavalry stood solemnly.
"Grand Master." Lü Bu walked over and saluted Zhou Yang.
"Thank you, Fengxian. Later, I will send some fine wine to the Grand Master's residence." Zhou Yang wanted to win over Lü Bu, the top warrior of the late Han and Three Kingdoms. He was definitely a golden enforcer.
Lü Bu naturally nodded, regardless of the quality of the wine, it was a sign of Zhou Yang's favor.
Since the pacification of the Western Liang army, Zhou Yang seemed to ignore him. Although he had the authority to train the cavalry, all the supplies were controlled by the Governor of Liang, Jia Xu.
Liang was Zhou Yang's fief. If the supplies were cut off, no matter how many troops he had, they would become a mob without supplies, which made him feel a strong sense of crisis.
Zhou Yang's current behavior immediately relieved him.
Seeing Lü Bu's reaction, Zhou Yang realized his mistake. If even Lü Bu was so anxious, the others were probably no better. After all, the smarter a person is, the more they think.
"Tonight, I will hold a banquet at the Grand Master's residence. Fengxian, you can bring your family to the banquet." Zhou Yang said, knowing that Lü Bu was a family man. As long as his family was taken care of, Lü Bu would not cause any problems.
"Grand Master, Lü Bu will attend the banquet." Lü Bu smiled. In their hometown, only very close friends would bring their families to a banquet, indicating that the Grand Master valued him, so he naturally would not refuse.
"Fengxian, are Gao Shun and Zhang Liao here?" Zhou Yang thought for a moment and asked. These two were also great generals and could not be missing in the battle against the Turks.
In the late Han and Three Kingdoms, the famous Xian Army was led by Gao Shun. The Xian Army, numbering over seven hundred, was known as a thousand-strong force, with exquisite armor and strict training. Each soldier was brave and skilled, invincible in battle, even defeating the three brothers of Liu Bei.
Zhang Liao was even more famous for his victory at Xiaoyaojin, where he defeated Sun Quan's ten-thousand-strong army with only seven thousand troops, nearly capturing Sun Quan. He was the foremost of the Five Fine Generals under Cao Cao.
Zhou Yang did not just want to defeat the Turks but to crush them.
"Order Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to come here." Lü Bu said to the messenger.
Soon, the messenger brought two men.
One was a towering figure in black armor, holding a large iron saber. The other was slender, with a cold expression, holding a black spear.
"Gao Shun (Zhang Liao) greets General, Grand Master." The two bowed to Lü Bu and then to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang was not surprised. Gao Shun's loyalty was absolute, the only general Lü Bu trusted, showing how rigid he was. As for Zhang Liao, he only surrendered to Cao Cao after Lü Bu's death, not a fickle person.
"Fengxian, what positions do they hold now?" Zhou Yang looked at their somewhat old and not very fine armor, sensing that their ranks were probably not high.
"Gao Shun is now a military officer, and Zhang Liao is a troop leader." Lü Bu, clearly familiar with his troops, a quality of an excellent general.
"Seeing their bravery, promote them both to Cavalry Camp military commanders." Zhou Yang said calmly.
A Cavalry Camp military commander directly led a thousand of the most elite iron cavalry, equivalent to a military colonel. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao did not move, and Lü Bu's face changed, scolding them, "Don't thank the Grand Master?"
Only then did the two accept the promotion and were asked to attend the banquet with Lü Bu that evening. They stayed in the camp for another half an hour before leaving.
"Xiao Guizi, send the invitations to the Commander of the Imperial Guards, Cao Cao, the Governor of Bing, Jia Xu, and the Attendant, Xun Yu. If any of those summoned have arrived, send them as well." Zhou Yang instructed Xiao Guizi.
The two toured Luoyang, and Zhou Yang returned to the Grand Master's residence to write the invitations.
Zhou Yang invited a large number of Cao Cao's relatives, such as Cao Ren, Cao Chun, the two Xiahou brothers, and Xun Yu's relatives.
"Grand Master, are you not inviting others?" Xiao Guizi asked cautiously.
"Forget it, invite them all. One sheep is a herd, a flock is also a herd." If he did not invite others, it would be harder to mobilize the troops as he wished in the future.
"See who needs to be invited and send the invitations directly." Zhou Yang said.
After writing the invitations, Zhou Yang returned to the modern world.
He drove straight to the most prosperous area of the city, not worrying about the cost. Zhou Yang planned to give a gift to each family, as the pillow talk was the strongest.
Zhou Yang did not go to the big malls but walked into a narrow pedestrian street.
