A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 326 The Prince
With the completion of the Great Wall, Dagan began to accumulate national strength after saving a large amount of expenditure.

The Hetao area is not far from Daqian. More importantly, it is not like the northern grassland, which can only be grazed, but can be cultivated in the south of the Yangtze River.

The grassland is vast with almost no borders. It is easy to get lost. It is extremely difficult to find the Huns on such a vast grassland. If you are not careful, your food and grass will be cut off, so Wang Luo did not go deep into the grassland.

But the Hetao area has no such scruples. After several years of trade, the terrain of the Hetao area has been almost collected.

Wang Luo handed the map to Li Mu and asked him to deduce it first and wait until next year's grain harvest before leaving the Hetao.

Time passed quickly, the weather was good, Daqian had a good harvest, the world was rich, there was plenty of food and grass, the morale of the army was high, and there was no longer labor on the Great Wall and money and food consumption, and Daqian's national strength began to recover.

A large amount of money and food were transported to Xianyang. As the former capital of the Qin State, Xianyang was the largest city in the Guanzhong Plain. It would serve as the base for the army's western expedition.

Wang Ke led several Yulin guards out of Shangyang Palace. Outside the hall, the Yulin guards led by five hundred princes and six were already ready to go.Since Wang Ke's wedding, Wang Luo has begun to enhance the prince's strength step by step.

He knew that he didn't have much time, so he began to strongly support the prince. This time he attacked Hetao, Wang Luo had already planned to let the prince follow him.

In Shangyang Palace, Wang Luo was watching Li Mu's war deduction. After clearly knowing the approximate number of enemy troops and the surrounding terrain, and then launching a surprise attack, such a war was completely certain for Li Mu.

Faced with such a must-win war, Wang Luo would naturally not let it go.

"Li Qing, I asked the prince to go with the army and put you in trouble." Wang Luo said.

"The prince is smart and has the talent of a general." Li Mu said respectfully.

Wang Luo shook his head slightly and said, "I just read a few military books. It's not something Li Qing can boast about."

"This time Li Qing is the commander-in-chief and the prince is just the deputy commander-in-chief. At the same time, the prince is not responsible for anything and cannot interfere in anything. I have already explained that everything will be subject to Li Qing's arrangements."

Li Mu then breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, how many troops are you prepared to send this time?"

"How many troops do you need?"

"Fifty thousand is enough!" Li Mu said confidently.

"Then I'll give you fifty thousand elites!" Wang Luo said immediately.

Wang Ke excitedly led his troops to the school grounds. There were a total of 1000 people led by Prince Liu. This time Wang Ke participated in the Northern Expedition, and these 500 people would serve as his personal soldiers.

These crown princes did not wear armor. In Luoyang City, except for the Yulin Guards who guarded the palace, other soldiers were not allowed to wear armor.This is true even for the prince's six rates.

Daqian has been cultivating war horses for a long time. Although the quality of war horses is not as good as that of the Huns, the number of war horses has also increased a lot in recent years.Therefore, when sending troops this time, everyone has a horse.

Except for a few who were cavalry, the vast majority were mounted infantry.Without high-bridge saddles and stirrups, cavalry training was difficult.

Wang Luo naturally knew the convenience that saddles and stirrups could bring, but unfortunately, war horses did not have an advantage in the Daqian court.

Even if all are equipped with saddles and stirrups, the improvement in strength will be limited, and if these things are learned by the Huns, the Huns will be in the state of all cavalry.Its strength has also improved by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, Wang Luo would rather not use these things to improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

Unless Daqian wins this battle and can raise horses after occupying the Hetao area, Daqian will have a large number of cavalry. At this time, high bridge saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes will be released.

Most of Daqian's cavalry are light cavalry, with only the upper body wearing a piece of leather armor. They mostly perform harassment and reconnaissance work.Wang Ke happily brought five hundred Yulin Guards to the command of Hussar General Li Mu, with no intention of relying on his status as the prince.

Imperial Palace, in Shangyang Palace.

Wang Ke was wearing a shining armor, holding a helmet in his hand, and a long sword hanging on his waist. His military uniform made him look heroic.

Few people can resist the temptation of commanding an army. Although Wang Ke has been learning the way of an emperor over the years, he cannot resist this temptation.

"Mother, do you think I look like a general?"

The queen looked at her excited son, then at her husband next to her and said, "Your Majesty, on the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyesight. The prince is the crown prince of the country, why should he be allowed to go to the battlefield?"

Wang Luo looked at his wife with a headache. His wife was good at everything, but she doted on his son too much.

"What's wrong? Back then, I followed General Xu on an expedition and defeated Zhao and Qin in one battle. Why can't he go to the battlefield?"

"As the crown prince of the country, how can he convince the arrogant generals in the army who have never even been on the battlefield?"

"Besides, with Li Qing leading the army this time, nothing will happen to the prince!"

At the same time, the prince also came forward to request that he was willing to go to the battlefield. After some persuasion, the queen reluctantly agreed.

After the queen left, Wang Luo took out two divine weapons of destiny and said: "This divine weapon of destiny is called the reinforcement order. After use, it can summon a hundred elite soldiers. Each of these soldiers is as elite as ten. Even if Even if you are surrounded by thousands of people, they can also protect you from breaking out.

This one is the Sky Fire Token, which can summon a sky fire.In critical moments, defeat can be turned into victory. "

When Wang Ke saw these two divine weapons of destiny, he was eager to try them.

Wang Luo glanced at him and said: "Although the Divine Artifact of Destiny is powerful, its use requires a price. It requires a lifespan of at least five years. If you can't use it, don't use it!"

Wang Ke's heart tightened after hearing this, and he nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, father, I will use it with care."

"Remember, during this expedition, you must obey General Li's orders. There is only one commander in the army, and that is Li Mu!"

"I've made a note of it!"

"When you go this time, you need to learn more and see more. See the young talents emerging from the army. Make friends with them and show kindness to them. These will be your future team."

"Father, you are in the prime of life, and you will definitely live a long life!" Wang Ke panicked when he heard this and said quickly.

Wang Luo waved his hand to stop him from continuing, and said: "I know my body very well. I don't have much time left. You need to grow up as soon as possible. After this expedition to Hetao is over, I will give General Li the title of general." position, and was granted the title of Crown Prince and Grand Master."

"With his assistance in the court, there will be no chaos in the court!"

Wang Ke immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, Father!"

"Okay, take your prince Liu Li and follow Li Qing to make great achievements!"

"No!" Wang Ke shouted immediately, then stood up and left Shangyang Palace.
