, as long as the imperial court can pass, it can be in place at any time."

"I also plan to form two thousand heavy Youzhou assault cavalry based on the original four thousand cavalry,"

Shuang Shiluo was a little surprised now.

"Two thousand armored cavalry? You must have too much appetite. Even all the prefectures and military prefectures in Hebei Province will not be able to gather so many men, horses and heavy equipment in the armored arsenal."

"I can ask His Majesty for the re-armoring of the men and horses, but the heavy cavalry with armored cavalry requires more elites. In this regard, Shi Bo can help select some supplements."

"As long as you can get heavy armor, I can definitely help you select a group of elite knights for you. We have no shortage of brave knights in Hebei Province!"

"But even if we get the order, recruiting and training troops in advance will cost a lot, especially for the cavalry. One ride can take up to five steps of food and grass, and heavy cavalry will cost even more."

"I'm not worried about money and food." Huaiyu was confident.

"Is it possible that Erlang is planning to find his family to solve the problem again?" It seems that Huaiyu likes to make money from monks, and the news has spread even in Hebei.

"I feel that although Hebei has been in war for many years, it still has many favorable conditions. For example, salt can be harvested along the coast, trade with Tibet can be carried out along the border, and our Hebei plain is rich in products. As long as we grasp it well, we will not worry about the cost of raising and training troops."

Shuang Shiluo nodded, but still reminded Huaiyu that what he said had actually been done by someone for a long time, and it was basically in the hands of powerful noble families, especially the powerful families represented by the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

Hebei is deeply rooted.

What Wu Huaiyu wanted to do was to snatch meat from their bowls.

"Dou Jiande, Liu Heitai, Xu Yuanlang and others were also very powerful, but where are they in the end? Now that the world is unified, this country's surname is Li," Wu Huaiyu chuckled, "I have gathered 20,000 elites, and I will still be afraid of them. Who wants to

I really can’t think of giving it a try, then my 20,000 elites will just have a training goal.”

Shuang Shiluo, who had guarded Hebei for seven years, was a little shocked, "Erlang, don't be impatient, be cautious. We can't have another civil strife in Hebei right now."

"Don't worry, they don't dare. Besides, I'm not the kind of unreasonable person. I always have to be reasonable in everything,"

"We convince people with virtue," Huaiyu said.

But Shuangshiluo always felt that Wu Huaiyu's words were full of murderous intent. He couldn't help but make random guesses in his mind. Could it be that Wu Huaiyu came to Youzhou this time not to prepare for the attack on the Turks next year, but to clean up the Shandong gentry first? The emperor wanted to clear them out in advance.

Are there some instability possibilities to prevent someone from holding back the enemy when the time comes?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the case. Otherwise, for a young man like Wu Huaiyu, even if he once served as prime minister, but now he has resigned, he is just the governor of Youzhou. How can he have the confidence to look down on the five surnames and seven families like this?

Li Shentong and others had never experienced anything like this when they were guarding Hebei.

Even if people like Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai once dominated Hebei, they would not dare to say that they do not take the five surnames and seven families into consideration.

"Hahaha, what are you going to do, Erlang? Tell me, let's get on side by side."

Wu Huaiyu was still very satisfied with his answer. If the two houses of You and Xiang advanced and retreated together, they would have greater bargaining power with the five surnames and seven families.

The Cui family of Qinghe is under the Governor's Mansion of Xiangzhou, while Fan Yanglu is under the Governor's Mansion of Youzhou, and Zhaojun Li is under the Governor's Mansion of Dingzhou between the two houses. Three of the seven families with five surnames have their headquarters in Hebei, and two of them are in Hebei.

Under the rule.

There are forty-four families in seven sects and five surnames, and they can be said to be spread throughout every corner of Hebei. It may not be an exaggeration to say that in Hebei, if you want to do anything big, you may have to touch it.

It was impossible to hide away from them, but Wu Huaiyu had no intention of hiding.
