During the Quanrong battle he did state that he drilled the most basic tactics into his men so I'd assume those were his men. Iirc Ousen send Heki with 8K + 2k from Kanki's reserves to YTW's aid so i assume those 8K were his unit?
I always took that as during the campaign or something and that those were just Ousen assigning his men to him. Since that's what separates the independent units like the HSU/Gaku Ka/ and other big time generals.
Like how Denyuu's 100-men come from the HSU, and if he went to another army he'd have 100 from that said army rather than carrying the ones from HSU over.

Poor Heki, he's been in a company of monsters for a long time, he's trying his best
I like his addition to the series tbh. Gives potential perspective of how Choutou/Mougou were possibly like when the monsters of that generation were climbing up.
Though I do hope he surpasses the underlings of the big time generals atleast. Would be shame to see him be below the likes of Akou and etc.
