My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 569 Missing a road

"Your Majesty's use of troops this time is unprecedented in scale, and the journey of such thousands of miles is unprecedented. It is better to be cautious."

Jia Xu used Westerners as fodder to support the defeated soldiers of the Satsuma Kingdom. What else could Xun Yu say? If he hadn't come to this world, he would have tried to find a way to get rid of Jia Xu.

But fortunately, everyone has died once, and they are no longer the same world as before. Xun Yu smacked his lips, and after saying this, he returned to the queue.

Seeing that Wang Zuo's talented Xun Yu was told to retreat, Jia Xu raised his hands without hesitation and continued: "Your Majesty, when using troops to the west, use all possible means, just like they did when they came to the Western Regions.

At present, the various states have assembled troops and are heading north to Yanjing. They will arrive at Yantang Pass and Longyang County in about half a month... According to reports, Zhao Kui'an of Wuzhou has brought 75 ships to join Qi Jiguang and Zhang Liao's 30 troops. Five ships, sailing and training the navy at the same time, will arrive at Feiyungang Camp in ten days.

Dong Zhuo and An Lushan's Xiliang army have entered Tiele Kingdom and are preparing for war. Dong Zhuo also sent a letter at the fifth hour today. It contains some requirements for military equipment and equipment. I have already approved it and will send it to His Majesty's study later.

In addition, workshops in the northern suburbs have been rushing to produce goods recently, and two accidents occurred. A warehouse and a workshop exploded, resulting in forty casualties..."

"The families of the injured and dead should be compensated. I never treat the people below unfairly."

"I have already taken care of it. There is one more thing. Subotai requires 1,200 kilograms of fine iron... to build Mongolian cavalry."

As a general at the commander-in-chief level, Wu'an Jun Bai Qi rarely finished his words. He just smiled and listened to the words of the generals who came after him.

"Xuanba, be careful, Your Majesty is still here." Qin Qiong pulled the corner of Li Xuanba's robe from behind.

Unexpectedly, it turned into a real military discussion.

"Haha, Mr. Xun, please don't be angry. We are fighting barbarians anyway. It doesn't matter what his strategy is, as long as the killing is satisfying!"

Su Chen was very busy during this period. He needed to arrange various things, especially when the prince was handling government affairs. He also needed to provide some psychological counseling to the child Su Chen, teaching him how to deal with it and how to avoid stage fright. Category.

Li Xuanba didn't make so many twists and turns. He stood behind Lu Bu and said loudly to Xun Yu who was talking in the middle: "The prince will let him sit in the court, and we uncles will clear the way for him!"

Then, Su Chen's words rang out.

Everyone in the hall was talking to each other, and everyone had their own ideas about the Western Expedition. Now that they were free to fight, everyone could easily talk about it and talk about it.

The sky gradually cleared up after the rain. In the Xuanwu Hall, as business matters were being discussed, the Taiwei, who was in charge of the military, continuously reported to Su Chen the recent needs of the armies. He also informed other Chinese civil and military officials about the current situation of the Western Expedition. schedule.

When Su Chen called everyone together, he originally wanted them to get acquainted with Bai Qi and talk about the Western Expedition so that Lord Wu An could have a more intuitive experience.

He listened calmly with a smile on his face. After a while, he raised his hand and pressed it twice, and the people arguing in the hall gradually became quiet.

At present, Xizhou has been incorporated into our Daxia, and the road there has begun to be built. It will connect Tianfengling to Tiele area around the end of this month.

"His Royal Highness the Prince has a gentle personality, but he is not. He is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Such people will be a blessing to the people in the future if they gain experience. As for the Western Expedition, Your Majesty should consider it as appropriate."

Yes, this talented Wang Zuo still has Jia Xu’s strategy in mind.

During this period, the strategy for the West has been finalized, and Su Chen's personal expedition to the West also means that the prince Su Chen will take charge of the government on his behalf. How can a child of only eight or nine years old now do this? When the time comes, Xun Yu and Di Renjie These people need to be on hand to help.

Although a big battle is coming, such a huge war requires the mobilization of a large amount of grain, horses, and various transportation equipment. This is not a simple task. Moreover, the distance between states is different, and the arrival time will naturally be different. If In case of strong wind and heavy rain, it will have to be postponed to a later date.

Soon, when they talked about the fact that the prince would be in charge of the country after Su Chen, Xun Yu came out and dispelled everyone's worries.

"Sending troops to the west is a big deal, and you must not be careless. Every step must be taken steadily, so that the western barbarians will not find an opportunity to take advantage of it.

This is also convenient. When our army marches, we can arrive at Tianfengling and set up a camp as soon as possible, so that the soldiers and horses who follow will have a place to breathe.

A series of tedious things such as intelligence, food and fodder, warships, troop transport vehicles, recruited labor, etc. must all be prepared ahead of time.

From the time it was agreed to send troops to the West in the beginning of spring, to now in September, various logistics matters are still in continuous operation.

The plan is just that, I have already arranged everything that needs to be done, and now I only need three candidates to send troops! "

Su Chen's eyes swept over everyone. Everyone present here were veterans who had come out of the bloody battlefield. There were fierce generals and famous generals with peak martial arts skills, as well as talented counselors and civil servants. "On land, we need to divide the troops into three groups, so we need to command the three groups. Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, used his troops prudently and advanced steadily in the middle; the right was led by Lord Wu An. This is why I asked the First Emperor for Lord Wu An's token, just to prepare for this big battle.

However, I have not found a suitable candidate for the commander-in-chief of the third army, a general who can command more than 100,000 troops... It’s not that I don’t believe in your ability, but this war is no more trivial than before. If there is a mistake, not only the entire army will be wiped out, but also the other armies advancing side by side will be destroyed. "

Su Chen's eyes were serious. At the end of his speech, he glanced at everyone, and most of them looked at Su Chen.

Li Jing stroked his beard and nodded: "Your Majesty is right."

The surrounding Chinese civil and military personnel also nodded slightly. Guan Yu, for example, felt a little dissatisfied, but did not show it. It was a pity that he could not command such a huge army.

"Two of the three generals have been finalized. So, does your Majesty have any ideas about the remaining one?" Di Renjie asked softly.

Su Chen blinked, and then laughed: "Xiang Di's question touches my heart."

Immediately, he looked at everyone.

"After much thought, I haven't finalized the candidate yet. Do you have any ideas? You can recommend it to me."

After saying that, Su Chen clapped his hands. Zheng He, who was at the bottom of the imperial steps, understood and quickly walked out of the hall with small steps. He reached out to the eunuch in front of the latter's palace and whispered a few words in his ear. Soon, several groups of eunuchs, The guards brought tables and chairs and invited all the Chinese civil and military officials to sit down.

After a while, the maids came in with tea and snacks and placed them on the small table in front of everyone.

Su Chen stood up from the dragon chair: "While eating, we will discuss the Western Expedition. Don't treat today as a serious military discussion like in the past. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it."

"The remaining commanders along the way, Xiang really wants to have one person."

It was Xiang Yu who spoke. When Su Chen's eyes fell on him, Xiang Yu stepped out and held his hands: "Everyone should know the person Xiang recommended."

"Xiang Bawang, please stop being so pretentious and say it quickly!" Zhang Fei rubbed his hands anxiously. He wished that Xiang Yu would nominate his second brother at this time.

Unfortunately, when Xiang Yu finished speaking, Zhang Fei was quite disappointed.

"Xiang recommended someone." Xiang Yu was bold and tall, with a loud voice. When Zhao Yun asked: "Who?", Xiang Yu immediately followed up with: "That guy Han Xin."

Han Xin, who uses more troops, the better?
Su Chen closed his eyes and nodded. Han Xin was indeed the candidate to coach the third team.

But he didn't have Han Xin in his hand, and Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, hadn't unlocked it either. Obviously, there was no way to get Han Xin out first.

'This is really like drawing a card. There are not enough points, so you get stuck. '

"King Xiang reminded me well. I almost forgot about him. After the discussion, I will find a way to get him into this world."

Naturally, Su Chen would not say that the points were not enough, nor could he offend Xiang Yu's face, so he said what he just said. Soon after the military meeting ended, everyone gathered around to talk to Bai Qi. After they left in twos and threes, Su Chen invited Bai Qi to walk behind.

The two of them were both burly men, and they were walking side by side under the corridor, talking and laughing about how they felt after seeing so many people from later generations today.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Wu Zixun probably understood that the two people in front had something extra to say, so they did not follow them.

Along the way, the maids, eunuchs, and guards retreated to both sides, leaning on their weapons and saluting, or looking at His Majesty with all their charms.

It's a pity that Su Chen was all focused on the Western Expedition and didn't take a second look at these beautiful palace maids.

"What do you think, Mr. Wu An?"

"Your Majesty is asking about these Chinese civil and military affairs?" Bai Qi was half a step behind. Hearing this, Su Chen smiled and said, "I am asking about Han Xin."

"I have never had any contact with him, but he can be praised by so many people. It is obvious that this Han Xin is outstanding."

"Well, he is an ambitious man, but his talent for commanding and deploying troops is indeed rare in the world." Su Chen put his hands behind his back and walked under the eaves. He turned back slightly, "However, I don't trust the people I employ, and I don't trust the people I doubt. King Xiang recommended him, so I thought of a way to get him to come over."

Bai Dian nodded without saying anything.

"There are a lot of ambitious people here, but they have all looked away." Su Chen looked at the sunshine peeking out through the gaps in the clouds, "Now there is another way to live!"

The annoying cicadas started chirping again.

Bai Qi, who was standing behind, stopped. He looked at Su Chen's back and fell silent. In the short time he woke up, he looked through the books related to the Xia Kingdom. Between the lines, he could see that this person came from The young people of later generations are almost dedicated to doing things.

From the words and deeds of the dead Chinese civil and military officials here, it can be seen that the Su Chen in front of him also paid a lot for them.

I want to create a peaceful world for the Chinese civil and military people, make up for their regrets, and then continue the life that they have not had time to enjoy in this world.

Bai Qi looked at the figure in front of him and seemed to see the King of Qin who was also trying his best. He couldn't help but look forward to the Qin army appearing on this land again.

"His Majesty!",

Bai Qi suddenly spoke. When Su Chen turned around, Lord Wu An raised his hand towards him, "My lord, Bai Qi, it's time to return to the army!"

he said softly.

Su Chen looked at him with a smile on his face and nodded heavily.

……

Soon after, the new recruits recruited from the North were trained by veterans and abandoned some unqualified soldiers. There were still 50,000 soldiers, and 20,000 of them were pulled to the new military camp.

On the huge camp campus, in addition to the Xia Kingdom's great banner, there was also a brand new flag that was blowing in the wind.

These 20,000 new recruits put on uniform black leather armor and leather helmets, and lined up neatly on the school grounds, forming five large square formations.

Many of them came to join the army. In fact, they went to the famous army. Now they were assigned to this "Qin Army" that they had never heard of, and many of them felt a little uncomfortable.

While muttering to each other, the soldiers in front vaguely saw a knight galloping into the school grounds, came to the general stand, got off his horse, and strode onto the high platform.

Overhead is the blue sky.

"I know that you are unwilling to come to this new army, but soon you will understand that if you come here... you will become brave and good soldiers.

You, you, have also heard about the barbarians in the West. You also know that His Majesty wants to conquer the West, and you even want to make great military achievements!

You are all bloody warriors from the north. Your fathers have fought many battles with the king in this land. The Xirong people have fallen, the six kingdoms have also fallen at the feet of the emperor, and even the Western Region has been merged into our Daxia. .

They all trembled under the front of Xia Kingdom's soldiers, but at the same time, they also made us understand that the strength of a country must be achieved on the battlefield——"

The wind blew across the high platform. Opposite Bai Qi were countless flapping flags. On the school field, each figure clenched their fists and looked at the generals on the high platform.

Countless soldiers formed a black ocean and held their breath.

"...You want to join a prestigious army, but you are just a group of new recruits. You have never even been on the battlefield. How can you join? The Qin army you enter will train you. When you survive, you will conquer the Western barbarians. Cut off his head and tie it around his waist. He will become a qualified soldier and I will leave it to you!"

In the sunshine, thousands of soldiers looked at the figure on the high platform in silence, clenching their weapons.

The storm is rolling.

On the high platform, the powerful voice continued.

"...If you want to become an elite soldier, you must be more ferocious than the enemy on the battlefield and surpass the bloodthirsty beasts. Unfortunately, I have to tell you that no matter how powerful the beasts are, they can only become prey!"

Bai Qi slowly pulled out the long sword from his waist.

"And I want you to be hunters, hunt down those ferocious prey, and let them taste that the swords of the Qin army are stronger than others, and can easily cut off their heads; whether we can chop them with our swords, we have The torches set their cities on fire, leaving them homeless!”

The blade of the sword cut through the sunlight, reflecting a dazzling cold light, and cut it down in everyone's sight. Bai Qi looked at the dark soldiers below, opened his mouth, and let out a high-pitched voice.

"From the moment you enter our camp, you are all fierce soldiers of the Qin army. You will benefit from military exploits and take the enemy's head as merit!"

"wind--"

The 20,000 soldiers stretching out in front hesitated for a moment, and then a voice shouted in a monotonous tone: "Wind!"

next moment.

More soldiers seemed to be infected at this moment, and they shouted, clapping their scabbards, clenching their fists and raising them above their heads, roaring hysterically, and the voices gathered together and turned into a huge roar that swept the world. .

"wind!"

"wind!"

Bai Qi stood on the high platform. He raised his sword high and looked up at the banner with the word 'Qin' flying in the wind.

For a moment with his eyes slightly moist, he lowered his gaze, scanned the thousands of soldiers, and shouted: "The Qin Dynasty has formed an army. You and I are in the same robe, and we will go together and return together -"
