“I got promoted?”
Jia Yu woke up and received good news from Liu Gonggong: “This, is it too fast?”
He had only been recruited for a few days, and now he was a Thousand Man Commander.
The speed of this promotion was a little fast.
“Not fast, not fast.” Liu Gonggong said with a smile: “This speed is nothing compared to your merit.
After the war is over, His Majesty will reward you even more.”
“His Majesty also said that you need to solve the issue of troops yourself, but if you have any other needs, feel free to ask.”
Liu Gonggong lowered his voice: “Try to recruit a full army, and the weapons and equipment in the treasury will be prioritized for you.”
“That’s great.” Jia Yu’s eyes lit up: “I’m worried that I have too few soldiers, and I can’t strike a bigger blow against the enemy.
Let me see, I must first recruit soldiers from the people in the manor.
They are all in the South City, and I will send someone to recruit them.”
Jia Yu opened his attribute panel:
【Jia Yu: Great Zhou. Thousand Man Commander

Black Armored Soldiers: 100/1000 (50 Kill Points can be exchanged for one Black Armored Soldier, and they come with complete weapon equipment.)

“System, how many Black Armored Soldiers can I exchange for now?”
【You currently have 12273 Kill Points, you can recruit 245 Black Armored Soldiers.]
Jia Yu thought to himself: “Recruit 245 Black Armored Soldiers.”
【245 Black Armored Soldiers will join your ranks in two hours.
Their identities are descendants of the personal soldiers of the Ningguo Duke and Rongguo Duke, and they have heard of your heroic deeds on the battlefield and have all joined your banner.
Their weapons and equipment are obtained from the Mongolian camp.]
After taking care of the matter, Jia Yu looked at his tattered armor and said to Liu Gonggong: “Liu Gonggong, can you get me a set of armor, and also get me a more suitable long weapon.
It’s a bit short to use a sword on horseback.”
Liu Gonggong smiled: “No problem, I’ll have someone find you a set of armor and a suitable weapon in the palace.”
Liu Gonggong thought of a horse lance that had been kept in the palace treasury for a long time.
“Thousand Man Commander Jia, can you use a horse lance?”
Not everyone can use this type of weapon.
“A horse lance?” Jia Yu was surprised: “I’m best at using the horse lance. If I have a good one, watch how I slaughter the Mongolian dogs.”
“Okay, I’ll have someone get you one.”
Liu Gonggong ordered his subordinate to return to the inner city. After chatting with Jia Yu for a while, Liu Gonggong went to busy himself with mobilizing the young and strong.
The West Bian Gate was attacked fiercely again by the Mongolians, and they needed to mobilize the young and strong from the Guangning Gate.
Around two in the afternoon, Jia Yu’s soldiers arrived.
345 Black Armored Soldiers, after changing into black iron armor, were formidable.
He asked the soldiers to each choose three horses from the herd of warhorses.
One person, three horses.
He then went to the guard to get bows, arrows, and other supplies.
The Guangning Gate guard knew Jia Yu’s identity and after witnessing his terrifying fighting ability, he was relieved to be in a supporting role.
Jia Yu was the grandson of the Young Rongguo Duke.
Although he was a son born out of wedlock.
However, this young man’s combat strength and ability to lead troops were exceptional.
Everyone in the capital who had a bit of power knew what the heads of the Rongguo Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion were like.
Jia Yu was likely to inherit the political resources of the two mansions in the army, and he was also favored by the new emperor.
The Guangning Gate guard gave Jia Yu whatever he wanted.
Jia Yu gained 245 strong and well-trained soldiers.
Things were not so peaceful in the West City.
Rongguo Mansion, South Hall.
Jia’s Old Matriarch, Jia Mu sat in the high seat, with Jia She and Jia Zheng on her left and right.
Behind them were the housekeeper, maids, and maidservants.
Standing in the middle of the hall was an old man with gray hair and a straight posture.
Jia Mu had worry in her eyes and looked at the old man: “Wu Yun, I told you to come into the city earlier, why are there less than three hundred people here, and most of them are just half-grown boys.
This, how can I be at ease?”
Wu Yun, the leader of Jia’s personal soldiers, had been at the manor outside the city after retiring.
“Madam, the capital city has high walls and deep moats, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers guarding it, the Mongolians can’t break in.” Wu Yun bowed his head: “The other day, the eldest master ordered the third young master to enlist in the army, so the old servant followed the rules set by the old duke and the young duke.
I sent one hundred young and strong men to go to the battlefield with the third master.”
“You sent one hundred people to go to the battlefield with that孽, with that boy? Aren’t you sending those hundred people to their deaths?” Jia She said angrily.
He had only met his illegitimate son once, just a few days ago to send him to his death.
He didn’t even look at him when he was born.
The old man said respectfully: “The rules left by the old duke and the young duke are like this, we subordinates dare not disobey.”
“You sent one hundred people, you should have quite a few young and strong men left!” Jia Mu was not someone easy to fool. Although she didn’t know exactly how many people were at the manor outside the city.
But, the Young Rongguo Duke’s personal soldiers had been three hundred, and after the Young Rongguo Duke passed away, he placed those personal soldiers at the manor outside the city.
That was only about ten years ago.
She was familiar with some of the people who came to the mansion, they were the personal soldiers who followed the Young Rongguo Duke.
They were all in their forties or fifties now, with gray hair.
“Why are they all old men?”
The gray-haired old man said: “Returning to Madam, the young and strong men were recruited by the third young master and went to the Guangning Gate.”
“The third young master defeated the Mongolian army at Guangning Gate, was rewarded and promoted to Thousand Man Commander.
The young and strong men at the manor wanted to go to the battlefield with the third young master and seek fortune.”
“The mansion is safe, please rest assured, Madam, although we are old, our martial skills haven’t been neglected.
I also discussed this with Jiao Da of the Ningguo Mansion, he has about five hundred people, if any thieves approach, the two mansions will help each other.”
The Ningguo Mansion’s troops were under Jiao Da’s control.
“Jia Yu became a Thousand Man Commander?” Jia Mu was surprised to hear this news.
The first time she saw Jia Yu, it was as if she saw her husband alive. She could be said to both respect and fear him.
Although her father was also a founding hero, compared to her husband, he was far inferior.
Jia Yu had the shadow of the two old dukes, the only difference being that Jia Yu was much more handsome.
The gray-haired old man lowered his head and said: “The third young master raided the Mongolian camp at night, beheaded the Mongolian Wanhu, killed thousands of Mongolian soldiers, and returned to the city safely.
He was promoted to Thousand Man Commander due to his merits.”
When he heard the news, the old man himself couldn’t believe it.
After verifying, the old man and the other personal soldiers placed their bets on Jia Yu.
“Just a Thousand Man Commander.”
Jia She said nonchalantly: “Since you’ve discussed it with Jiao Da, then protect the two mansions.
When the Mongolians retreat, you won’t lack for rewards.”
Jia She finished speaking and looked at Jia Mu: “Mother, I have some things to do in my courtyard, I’ll go back first.”
“Go, go!”
Jia Mu waved her hand, how could she not know what her eldest son was up to? He had things to do?
It was nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun.
