No matter what methods Tang Yin used to convince Shauna, in the end, the two of them finally reached an agreement.
Using the two counties of Ning Bei City as a condition that the merchants of the Basa Merchant's city would be exempted from taxes and be opened, they exchanged for the eighty thousand army and horses and the eighty thousand set of Heavy Cavalry that Bessa provided.
The value of 80,000 war horses and 80,000 sets of equipment provided by Bessa could be described as astronomical. However, the tax exemption and the opening of Tia in the Northern Ning two counties allowed Bessa to profit over the long term. It was hard to say who had the advantage in this transaction.
In the past, the Feng Country had been used to stock up Bessa's Heavy Cavalry equipment, and had even formed a Heavy Cavalry Regiment. However, the number of people was too small, and even if they forcefully dragged the battlefield, they still would not be able to unleash their might, and had not used their Yan City since the beginning. But now, with the 80,000 cavalry configuration, it was enough for the Feng Country to form a true Cavalry Regiment.
The generals of each army coveted the Cavalry Regiment that was about to be established. No matter which army one hundred thousand cavalry they sent, they would still be able to raise the quality of their fighting capabilities.
However, Tang Yin did not plan to split the hundred thousand Heavy Cavalry formed into the existing legions. Instead, he decided to establish a new legion.
Feng Country currently possessed eight legions: Plains, Sanshui, Chifeng, Direct Subordinate, Sky Eagle, Tiger Might, Wyvern, and Flying Feather. Regarding Cavalry Regiment, he did not waste any more effort in taking its name, and directly named it with the rank of Ninth Regiment.
As for the candidate to be the Regiment Chief, he had yet to think it through. In his mind, Ye Tang, Gao Yu, and Qi Heng were qualified.
Ye Tang and Gao Yu were both men of the wind, their loyalty was unquestionable, and both of them were civil and military, but compared to Qi Heng, their abilities were slightly lacking, but Qi Heng was a different person, and Tang Yin was not able to give him sufficient trust.
Bessa was unable to provide all of the eighty thousand Heavy Cavalry s that were allocated to her in one go. She still needed to transfer all of them to her in batches from all over Bessa before she could transport them back to her Feng Country. This just happened to give Tang Yin enough time to think it over.
For the matter of the Regiment Chief, he had specially come to Qiu Zhen a few times to discuss it. The latter had reminded him, ever since the founding of the Kingdom, Feng Country had never been established, and this time, it was even established in an incomparably fearsome Heavy Cavalry legion, which was one of the most important places. Regiment Chief's abilities might not be the strongest, but their loyalty to Feng Country and the Sovereign King would definitely be the highest. If Qiu Zhen said this, then it was equivalent to rejecting the choice of Qi Heng.
Thinking about it carefully, Tang Yin also felt that Qiu Zhen's words were reasonable, if Qi Heng was excluded, then it would be easy to decide who to choose from in Regiment Chief, Ye Tang and Gao Yu's abilities were equal, no matter who to choose, the result would be the same.
With a candidate in mind, Tang Yin even brought up Ye Tang and Gao Yu in the audience hall, telling them to quickly learn the language of Beisha, and that they should also find a chance to learn more about Heavy Cavalry's strategy and tactics from Shauna and the generals who came with her.
Although Tang Yin did not directly say that he wanted Ye Tang and Gao Yu to be the Cavalry Regiment Elder, the meaning in his words was already well-understood. Qi Heng, who was in the imperial court at the same time, lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and tightened his body.
He was confident that his own abilities were far superior to Ye Tang's and Gao Yu's, but the King would rather choose these two people to be Cavalry Regiment s than to choose him. It was simply because he was unpopular, how could he be willing to accept this.
He was so angry that he almost exploded. He subconsciously looked at Guo Jue who was at Wen Chen's side from the corner of his eyes. Just then, Guo Jue turned to look in his direction with a smile on his face. At the same time, he signaled Qi Heng with his eyes to be calm and not be anxious.
Guo Jue didn't have a good impression of Qi Heng, but as a Mo and an official of the Feng Country, he had no choice but to walk together with Qi Heng. In fact, he also hoped that Qi Heng could win over this position of Heavy Cavalry Regiment Chief. This way, it would allow the position of the to increase by a large amount, but these kind of things cannot be rushed. Otherwise, not only would Qi Heng not get the position he wanted, he could even bring about a fatal disaster.
After the court was over, Qi Heng finally expressed her anger on her face when she caught up to Guo Jue outside of the mansion and sat in his carriage. She angrily hammered the carriage door: "Sir, what do you think, I, Qi Heng, am comparable to Ye Tang and Gao Yu?"
Guo Jue smiled, and lightly reminded him: "Why are you, General Qi, so angry! No matter what, General Ye and General Gao have saved your life before, and you are always wrong to hate your savior. "
"One horse, one horse!" Qi Heng said: "Ye Tang and Gao Yu have indeed saved me, if the two of them are in trouble, I will risk my life to protect them, furthermore, what I am angry about is not the two of them, but Qi." He did not dare to say the following words.
Guo Jue laughed leisurely, and said straightforwardly: "You're angry at my King."
Qi Heng shuddered and subconsciously raised the curtain to look outside. Then he said with his mouth wide open, "Mr. Guo Jue, you can't speak nonsense!"
Guo Jue still had a relaxed expression on his face as he said, "Actually, the King did not choose you, but chose General Ye and General Gao for only one reason!"
"Because I am not a man of the wind!" This was what Qi Heng was most angry about.
"Tut!" Guo Jue clicked his tongue unhappily, and said seriously: "The King is the one who has the most lack of level and race concepts, so how about General Zuo Shuang, who is not a man of the wind, has also become a Regiment Chief? When they got closer, no matter how General Qing Yu was, he was still a group of Mo people, but he is now the commander of a troop.
Qi Heng took a deep breath. His old face reddened as he patted his head and said, "It's my mistake. But, why did the King choose Ye Tang and Gao Yu over me? "
"There's only one reason." Guo Jue calmly analyzed: "Since the beginning of the history of Feng Country, there has never been a Cavalry Regiment, not to mention a Heavy Cavalry, its significance even surpasses the legion itself, and can be seen as the symbol of the rise and flourishing of Feng Country. Therefore, the person chosen for Regiment Chief will definitely be the person the King trusts the most, and you, General Qi, clearly do not have General Ye and General Gao to be trusted in the King's eyes."
"Ever since I went to the Feng Country, I have never had any other intentions towards the Great Wang Zhong. I can swear an oath on him ?"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Guo Jue had already waved his hand and said, "It's useless for me to say these words of the General Qi, the most important thing is to let the King understand!"
No matter what he said, he still couldn't do it! Qi Heng was a little dejected. If his abilities were insufficient, he could still do his best in front of the King and make himself stronger than anyone else, but how could he show his loyalty? It would take a long time to get along with him, so he couldn't let his heart be dug up, right?
Seeing Qi Heng holding onto his head like a frosted eggplant, Guo Jue smiled indifferently and asked: "Does General Qi really want the position of Cavalry Regiment Elder?"1
"Of course!" Qi Heng blurted out, then said helplessly, "I'm afraid, I can only think about it."
"That won't do."
Qi Heng's eyes suddenly lit up as he hurriedly asked, "Does mister have a good plan?"
Guo Jue stretched out two of his fingers and said: "General Qi needs to do two things. First, to let the King see your loyalty; The Fourth Madam he was referring to was Shauna.
"Oh?" Qi Heng did not immediately understand Guo Jue's words.
Guo Jue said in a low voice: "The Fourth Madam is the princess of Beisa, and can't be more familiar with Heavy Cavalry. If the Fourth Madam is willing to speak good words for you in front of the King, then you can speak a thousand words more than the people around you."
Mm, that made sense! Qi Heng nodded his head as he thought about it. After pondering for a while, he asked, "But how can I let the King see my loyalty, and how can I please Fourth Madam?"
"Actually, there's one thing we can do after completing these two things." Guo Jue retracted his smile, suppressed his voice even further, and said: "The key is to see if General Qi dares or not."
Seeing the strange expression on Guo Jue's face, Qi Heng shuddered and anxiously said: "Sir couldn't be asking me to do something that would let the King and Madam down, right?"
"Of course not." Guo Jue said faintly: "On the contrary, I am asking you to eliminate the hidden danger that is threatening the Great King and her wife."
Qi Hengyue became more and more confused as she listened. She scratched her head in annoyance and said anxiously, "Sir, if you have something to say, just say it."
Guo Jue said: "Fourth Mistress, you're too restless. According to what I know, ever since you married into the Feng Country, moved into the Yan City, and often went out to play. There were plenty of people who wanted to harm the King and even kill him. There might not be a chance to do it to the King, but it was very easy to find a chance to do it to the Lady. If the General Qi could suddenly appear when the assassins were trying to assassinate the Madam, saving the Madam and exterminating the assassin would not only prove the loyalty of the General to the King, but also show the grace of saving Madam's life. "
That's right, why didn't she think of this method!? Qi Heng was immediately enlivened. However, thinking about it, how could such a good thing happen to him? He smiled wryly and said, "Sir, I can't be stalking Madame all day, can I?"
Guo Jue was amused, and said: "It's impossible for General to know about Madame's daily trip, but to understand it once is still very easy. And there are many Mo Country Rangers lurking within the Yan City, and the general does not have many people. It would not be difficult for him to contact these Rangers and Death Soldier s. "
Qi Heng finally started to understand what Guo Jue meant. His face changed as she said in shock, "Sir, you mean ?"
"Opportunities are never to be found, but rather to be created on one's own." Guo Jue blinked his eyes and laughed sinisterly: "Colluding with an assassin to assassinate my wife, then kill the assassin to save my wife, this matter, I can definitely accomplish it on my own."
Heavens! Qi Heng broke out in cold sweat as he looked at Guo Jue in disbelief. Such a weak scholar could actually speak such shocking words without batting an eyelid. He stammered, "This... "This is going to lose my head ?"
"Wealth comes from danger!" Guo Jue said: "As long as the general does things in secret and does not leave any survivors, who would know what he is doing in the dark?"
