As Sun Guang and Li Qun talked, their eyes couldn't help but light up.

After Song Jinxiu finished training the soldiers, she let Tayun graze on his own.

This time when she went to southern Xinjiang, she only brought Su Chuan and the thirty-six guards given to her by His Majesty.

The thirty-six guards went from covert to open, each equipped with two war horses, always protecting her.

After a period of adjustment, Song Jinxiu also got to know the Thirty-Six Guards. These people were equivalent to her own death squads. From the moment they recognized her as their master, she was their master.

But in order to ensure that everything goes well, he secretly made a master-servant contract with the treasure-hunting rat Junjun while he was playing with them.

So, these people are reliable.

Having confirmed that these people were reliable, Song Jinxiu would naturally not be stingy, and they would naturally be indispensable in the nutritional pills she made for Su Mo.

The internal strength and physical fitness of the Thirty-Six Guards have made a qualitative leap.

As for the treasure-hunting rat Junjun, along the way, he either nestled in the arms of the Thirty-Six Guards and others, or rode on their horses' necks, and was very excited.

Only Tayun was not allowed to ride on the horse's neck, and he was also asked to sit on the horse's butt.

So the horse and the rat started to argue.

Seeing that Tayun was left alone, it chirped and ran over, jumping onto the horse's back.

Soon, the treasure-hunting mouse Junjun began the horse training game.

Song Jinxiu sent a telepathic message: "Don't scare Tayun. Even if it has awakened its intelligence, it's still just an ordinary horse and can't withstand your pressure."

She really likes Tayun.

Treasure Hunter Lord Mouse said disdainfully, "Why would I need to unleash my mighty power against an ordinary horse?"

But this little mortal horse named Tayun must submit to it, because it is the boss beside its master.

Soon, the sound of a horse and a rat quarreling could be heard from the hillside.

When Sun Guang and Li Qun saw that Song Jinxiu was resting, they hurried over with water bags.

"Your Highness, you have worked hard. Please have some tea."

Song Jinxiu smiled and pointed to the water bag on her waist to indicate that she had some. Then she said, "The two generals have worked hard. You can drink some."

Because they were marching quickly to Baliying, Song Jinxiu began to train the cavalry's formation on the way.

The infantrymen followed closely all the way and didn't fall behind much, so they were the ones who worked really hard.

Sun Guang: "Your Highness, the soldiers hunted a roe deer today. Would you like it roasted or stewed? Do you prefer sweet or spicy? I will order them to prepare it."

Isn't this fawning look too obvious?

Song Jinxiu looked at the two of them and asked with a smile, "Generals, what's the matter?"

The two exchanged glances. Sun Guang scratched his head sheepishly and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, if our infantry can get horses, can we also form a cavalry?"

Song Jinxiu instantly understood what they meant. Without hesitation, she nodded and said, "If you can get a horse, of course you can. I will pay for the horse. But remember, you must not disturb the people, you must not force them to buy, and you must not plunder or cause trouble."

Sun Guang and Li Qun were suddenly excited. They knelt down solemnly, clasped their fists, and said, "Regardless of success or failure, with your words, Sun Guang (Li Qun) swears to follow you until death."

Song Jinxiu asked the two men to stand up and instructed Su Chuan to give them two hundred thousand taels of silver notes.

Here, a healthy horse costs about eighty taels, but a horse like the Tayun that Song Jinxiu rides was given by His Majesty himself, and it costs one hundred thousand taels, and is still in short supply.

The horses of Su Chuan and the Thirty-Six Guards were also of the best Mongolian breed, and they were worth more than a thousand taels.

Therefore, horses were not something that ordinary soldiers could afford. Not to mention that military horses had their own fixed configurations, so infantrymen could forget about it.

Song Jinxiu also had her own selfish motives for paying this money.

As for the one thousand cavalrymen she had newly formed, since the horses were provided by her, their feelings towards her were obviously different from those of the two thousand cavalrymen.

They were more friendly and even treated her like their master.

Because she provided the horses, which meant that she was the one who gave them the status of cavalry. Just as Sun Guang and Li Qun said, they would follow them until death.

After all, the soldiers who came out of the Xishan camp had no real sense of belonging.

Just like Song Chunsheng and others, after training in the new recruit camp of Xishan Camp, they can be assigned to different places, and they will be soldiers of whoever they are assigned to.

They do not have a sense of belonging like the Dingguo Army and the Su Family Army. Now they follow Song Jinxiu. If Song Jinxiu is a general who can always lead them, then they are Song Jinxiu's soldiers.

This was also the initial prototype of the Song Family Army.

So, she was actually happy to pay for it. Besides, she was not short of money.

Seeing that the princess kept her word and really took out a huge sum of 200,000 taels, Sun Guang and Li Qun's eyes were moist.

If they could be promoted from infantry to cavalry, the princess would be doing them a favor of rebirth.

So, the two were very moved.

Then he became curious: The princess is going to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, why does she carry so much silver with her?

Su Chuan said with a stern face: "Princess, you are planning to buy food along the way. Go and buy horses with it. Don't let down His Highness's expectations and love for you."

"Yes, I will do my best."

The two of them thanked him profusely and left.

Song Jinxiu pinched Su Chuan's little face and said, "You are becoming more and more clever, but your expression is still expressionless.

Su Chuan was praised by his master. He tried to keep a straight face, but his ears turned red.

But Su Mo, after driving all the way from the border, arrived at Jizhou three days later.

During these three days, Sun Guang and Li Qun led 2,000 infantrymen to show their talents. They visited relatives and friends, went to the horse market, went to the homes of landlords and wealthy merchants, and even went to the county government office to ask the county magistrate to give up his horses. They requisitioned the county government's horses, and of course, paid a lot of money for the horses.

There were also cavalrymen who helped. They galloped 300 miles, destroyed two bandit dens, and got dozens of horses.

In any case, Song Jinxiu was very happy to have another thousand light cavalrymen added.

After feeding the horses with concentrated feed containing Kailingdan, except for a few old horses that could not withstand the effects of the Kailingdan and died with foaming at the mouth, the others showed obvious changes.

This time, the infantrymen had experience and knew that their eldest princess would choose the people based on their horses.

Those who are about to be picked by horses will be smart enough to pick some tender green grass and put it in their arms early, while others will prepare candies that horses like in their hands in advance.

It turns out to be quite effective, and the horse chose this attentive owner.

The soldiers who were not selected all cried.

They had gone through great pains to find the horses, but they had not expected that these animals could not resist bribes. If they had known this, they would have bought them a big candy as a bribe even if they had to give up food and water.

Originally, everyone was an infantryman, relying on their own two legs to cross mountains and ridges. Now, there is a watershed. Those who were selected became cavalrymen, and they had to watch their own two legs trekking. It would be strange if they could feel good.

There are only a thousand cavalrymen and two centurions. Who will lead the cavalry and who will lead the infantry?

Song Jinxiu watched calmly, waiting to see how the two would resolve the issue in the end.
