For his behavior, Xia Yuxiao expressed that it is understandable, after all, Qin Ji is basically in charge of the affairs on the western border now.

"Oh, by the way, you take this and use this to mobilize the soldiers of the Chi Yuan Army."

As Xia Yuxiao said, she took out a black token engraved with golden patterns from the drawer under the table, and handed it to him.

Qin Ji looked at the black token in his hand. There were many gaps in the token, presenting a complex mortise and tenon structure, which was almost impossible to reproduce. Moreover, Qin Ji could see that there were many man-made "" The "meridian" is on it. Although they are all dead now, there must be another half in the hands of the general of the Chiyuan Army who can integrate them into one.

It has to be said that, as one of the regular troops in Xia Yuxiao's hands, the Chiyuan Army obviously has its troop deployment procedures firmly in Xia Yuxiao's hands.

"This time when you go to fight the battle in Samanjan, you must remember that our purpose is to drive the power of the church out of the countries around us. To prevent the power of the church from expanding around us. So, don't patronize the siege of cities, The footprints of the church must be completely erased.”

Xia Yuxiao exhorted.

"I know, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"When are you going to leave?" she asked.

"The vanguard will set off today, and the main force will be dispatched in three days," Qin Ji said.

"Three days later..." Xia Yuxiao thought for a moment, and then continued, "The weather in the west is dry, and it will be very cold at this time, so you must pay attention to your health over there—if your body appears The problem, the impact on the front line alone is unimaginable. For the domestic ... even more so."

"Thank you for your concern. Your Majesty will take good care of yourself. Your Majesty must also be careful in the country. The villains and treacherous ministers are still in the court. After the minister leaves, I am afraid that some people will try to obstruct it. Your Majesty can discuss with Prime Minister Long. As for domestic military affairs Regarding matters above, I have arranged a few reliable people in the country, if there is something that Prime Minister Long and General Bai cannot solve, you can talk to them, and they will do their best to assist His Majesty."

In order to prevent the incident similar to the previous coercion, Qin Ji left several young officers under him in Tai'an City.And handed over the thousands of troops stationed near Tai'an City in his hands to them, and let them defend Tai'an City.

At the same time, the family also left a housekeeper to watch over.

Although the old housekeeper seemed to be just a servant on weekdays, in fact, he was an old man who followed the former An Guogong. Keeping him at home can basically solve most things.

He has already made arrangements for General Bai. In this battle, Qin Ji did not let General Bai go. On the one hand, General Bai was able to restrain the ministers in the court no matter in character, ability or prestige. .....

This time he went to war, he brought the younger generation of officers like Satellite, and he planned to give the young officers some opportunities in this war.General Bai's military exploits were already great enough, and any more, it would be more or less disadvantageous to him, Qin Ji.

"I heard that this time, are you going to take both Lingyan and Qin Siyue with you?" She stretched, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and asked.

Qin Ji had expected that she would ask this question: "Yes, after all, I don't know how long the battle will last. I really need a guard over there, and she was already a little dissatisfied that she didn't have a spirit face last time. Go anyway. But you don’t have to worry, Your Majesty, the deputy commander at Grayscale will still obey your orders, and there will be no situation where Grayscale loses command.”

"I'm not worried about Lingyan following you, I'm worried about Qin Siyue," Xia Yuxiao sighed, and said softly, "She doesn't seem to have traveled far, and the front line is very dangerous, take her there, I I'm really worried."

"Siyue must go with the minister this time. And considering Siyue's situation, she will be better only when she is by the minister's side...The last time His Majesty and the minister left Daxia not long ago, so It doesn't matter. But I'm afraid I'll be away for a long time this time, and I can only bring her by my side."

Qin Ji explained in this way.

Of course, this is just Qin Ji's explanation to Xia Yuxiao. In fact, it is impossible for him to tell the truth——

Qin Siyue is a serious social fear, if he leaves her for a few months, there is no Lingyan to help him, and there is a high probability that he will directly enter a state of autism.

Moreover, Qin Ji couldn't guarantee that he would be safe in this foreign war, so he needed Qin Siyue to give him some advice as his staff.Qin Siyue, who is keen on this aspect, may be able to heal her society in such a battlefield environment, and it may not be certain.

Moreover, the brothers and sisters discuss strategies together, and even if there is a conflict, it will be reconciled quickly, and there is no need to worry about any conflicts at the command level.

"It's okay, the relationship between you brother and sister has always been very good. Take her by your side so that you can take care of each other."

After Xia Yuxiao finished speaking, she raised her head: "Qin Ji, your father has won countless battles for the late emperor. Although your achievements are not as good as your father's for the time being, I believe that you will be able to catch up to him sooner or later— —So, just like I reminded you before, don’t be impulsive and give priority to surviving.”

"I will not disappoint Your Majesty's great trust."

Regarding Xia Yuxiao's exhortations, Qin Ji didn't know whether she was sincere, but it was good to be able to say these words.

"After you come back, some things may need to be considered. At that time, no matter what the answer is in your mind, I hope that both of us can give each other a clear answer."

Naturally, what she mentioned was marriage. For some reason, when Xia Yuxiao mentioned these matters, she didn't have any emotional fluctuations at all, as if she was just discussing state affairs.

"Yes."

Whatever Qin Ji could do, he could only agree.

"On the day of the expedition, I will bid farewell to you with all civil and military officials. The food and grass matters have been arranged properly. Now the autumn harvest food basically needs to be accounted for in a unified manner. At that time, if you still lack food, grass and military equipment, you can write a letter and tell me when you arrive at the front line , don’t worry about things behind.”

"In addition, I'm going to try the thing you said about educating the people before the autumn harvest, when the people in Daxia are not farming. Let's start with the disaster-stricken Hexi County first, what do you think?"

"Yes, but the people of Hexi County have just recovered from the disaster, so I'm afraid they don't have the heart to receive education..."

"I have my own way."

Xia Yuxiao blinked her eyes somewhat mysteriously—this was an expression she rarely made.

Chapter 95 Discussion on the March

On the way to the west, it is very boring.

This is "boring" in the physical sense. For Qin Ji, although his ancestral home is also on the side with a drier climate, it is still far from the west of Daxia.

"Master, I told you to drink more water, you see, you just didn't listen."

When the army was repairing and camping at night, Lingyan wiped the blood from Qin Ji's nose by the light.

It's unimaginably dry here. Because Qin Ji was studying the map in the carriage, he didn't drink much water, and he didn't moisten his skin and nose in time, which caused a wave of blood just now.

Leaning on Lingyan, Qin Ji helplessly looked at the blood-stained towel in Lingyan's hand, and then sighed: "If I'm not wrong, the Samanjiang side should be almost as dry as this side?"

"Samanjan is better. They have more rivers and a few lakes, which are better than here." Qin Siyue walked out of the carriage, looked at the army camping, and said.

In this regard, Qin Siyue is obviously more shrewd, from time to time he would soak a towel with water and cover his mouth and nose.

The army's marching speed is not slow, and Daxia has already built official roads in various places. These official roads are extremely flat and open, which increases the army's marching speed by more than one section.

While Lingyan was applying a towel for herself, Qin Ji seized the time to glance at the map.

"This battle may not be easy to fight, maybe we will have to gnaw a lot of hard bones." Qin Ji said sullenly (with a wet towel on), "The current situation is that the Holy Bishop's Church is likely to Let a lot of cannon fodder from the Holy Bishop Church deal with us. Naturally, we have no problem dealing with the cannon fodder of those small countries, but in this way, the momentum of the attack will definitely be delayed."

Since ancient times, the battles between Great Xia and neighboring countries cannot be said to be evenly matched, at least it can be said to be crushed all the way.Due to its strict military system and strong war potential, Daxia can even face two enemies that are about the same size as him at the same time once he plays his life at a critical moment.

But that had to be in a desperate state, similar to the "southern and northern wars" of the first emperor, it was actually not Daxia's real combat power.

If you really want to talk about life-threatening, it has to be Xia Wuzong back then-the Great Xia was facing a desperate situation at that time, and fought against four first-class countries in turn. At the peak, the Great Xia had expanded to nearly 150 million troops. The price of Daxia's family's innocence cost four countries alive.

Therefore, if Daxia is completely desperate, an enemy of this size can basically be pushed all the way back to his hometown.However, Qin Ji knew that in that case, Daxia might run out of energy and blood, and it would be difficult to recover in a short time.

After Xia Wuzong, Da Xia had to change two monarchs before he barely recovered from the unprecedented consumption.Qin Ji naturally did not want to usher in such a result.

Therefore, he had to make a plan for what to do with these cannon fodder.

Cannon fodder is not terrible. The Holy Church can now send troops from all countries, but it will take time to send troops.There is a high probability that they will send some local believers in Samanjan and some countries in the west that believe in the Holy Bishop to send such a group of cannon fodder to confront Da Xiagang.To put it bluntly, it is called launching a fearless jihad by the followers of the Holy Lord.To put it bluntly, it is called trading human life for time.

However, the Holy Church's cannon fodder is easy to deal with, but it will delay the pace of Daxia's attack. Once it is dragged to the church and ready, the price of this war will be much higher.

"Cannon fodder naturally has the effect of cannon fodder, but if you want to deal with cannon fodder, you really can't just rely on the army to run over it." Qin Siyue said, "The enemy's cannon fodder can be consumed in large quantities, but no matter how it is consumed, as long as it can Just be strategic. To deal with the fanatics of the church, the most correct way for us to deal with them is probably not as simple as simply defeating them. Instead, we should use our own advantages."

"tell me your opinion."

Qin Ji covered his nose and said.

"In short, I don't think we should consider making a quick decision on the cannon fodder that is only superior in number-a quick decision means that we have to produce a result. But in fact, if we want to produce a result, then There will inevitably be a delay in time. My suggestion is to fight quickly and leave quickly. The Chiyuan Army uses light cavalry as its ace unit, which is suitable for this style of play."

Qin Siyue smoothed the map, and then pointed out an area: "For example, here, there are vast strategically deep plains and a few hills. With the help of light cavalry, we can make a little contact with the enemy, and use our army's relatively well-equipped The advantage is to strike preemptively, get out of combat immediately after destroying the enemy's early momentum, and move towards the target area in a detour."

"Why?" Qin Ji asked.

"I have read the records of the previous campaigns organized by the Holy Bishop's Church. In most cases, the combat effectiveness of the Church Army, the Holy Knight Order and the main forces of various countries led by the Holy Bishop's Church cannot be underestimated, but at other times, most of the other battlefields It is filled with low-quality and poorly equipped cannon fodder—the reason for this is simple: the Church hopes to concentrate all its advantages, launch a decisive battle at one point that can determine the outcome of the battle, and crush the enemy with one blow."

"The cannon fodder they are talking about does not refer to ordinary soldiers, but to church believers who have undergone very short training or even have no time to train, and ordinary people who are persecuted by local secular power. Although these people are also led by serious officers, But the quality of combat is seriously lacking. If we quickly disintegrate the momentum of these cannon fodder at the beginning, it will be difficult for them to reorganize a large-scale attack or counterattack in a short period of time."

"If we insist on fighting them to the end, we can actually win, but this will greatly delay our time. Therefore, after causing the opponent to fall into chaos, it is a good choice to use this chaos to get the Chiyuan army out of the battle quickly .The light cavalry can exert constant pressure and harassment, while the infantry can leave the battlefield under the restraint of the cavalry, and the light cavalry can also quickly get rid of the enemy."

At this point, Qin Siyue threw away the twig used to point to the map: "Anyway, bro, I'm just giving a suggestion. I haven't really commanded any big battles, so it's just talking on paper. But talking on paper is still a little bit In conclusion, you can decide according to the situation."

"Bring the map closer." Qin Ji said to Lingyan.

Lingyan immediately brought the map closer.

Qin Ji examined the terrain on the map by the light.

"If we follow Siyue's idea, then we have to choose an attack direction that is relatively flat and has more optional routes..."

The light cavalry of the Red Kite Army is the best in Great Xia. However, light cavalry cannot be the main force in frontal combat in large-scale battles after all, so we must choose an attack direction that is relatively suitable for the light cavalry to turn around and circle around. Destroy the enemy as much as possible.

"I will consider your words."

After Qin Ji finished speaking, he patted Qin Siyue's head, Qin Siyue clicked his tongue, but in the end he didn't hide, let him touch it a few times, and then went back to the camp to sleep.

Chapter 96 Dinner

"It's a pity that Miss doesn't join the army."

Watching the back of Qin Siyue returning to the camp, Lingyan said with emotion.

Lingyan herself is a specialist in military force, but not a specialist in combat command. With her ability, it is okay to be able to make command at the tactical level--it is very good at the scale of operations similar to Huilin, but for ten thousand people If it is not a large-scale command operation, then she really can't do it.

But Qin Siyue is completely different, she obviously hasn't been on the battlefield much, but she can always quickly combine her knowledge to come up with a well-organized judgment.

"She is not suitable for personally commanding operations."

Qin Ji smiled wryly.

Qin Siyue is really good at strategy, but the strategic plan must be implemented by the commander after all.Qin Siyue is suitable for strategic decision-making, but not good at commanding troops in detail.In other words, she can analyze the situation, but she is not very good at manipulating the situation by herself.

This is also the reason why when Qin Ji and Xia Yuxiao went to the Weixi Empire for diplomacy, he gave Qin Siyue the power to deploy troops and deliver the power to the Great Seal, but suggested that she lend this power to General Bai—she She can make a correct judgment, but her judgment needs someone to help her implement it.

and......

Which military officer have you ever seen pestering his immediate superior every day?Therefore, Qin Siyue can only be led by Qin Ji as a staff officer, but she cannot be an independent officer, otherwise, with this social fear + clingy posture, leading an army alone, the morale of the soldiers has not collapsed, and she will collapse first.

"The young master doesn't want to bring her into the army, does he?"

"Yeah, how many older brothers hope that their younger sister will bear such a big responsibility? I think it's pretty good that she looks like this now."

Qin Ji didn't lie.

Ability is one thing, and on the other hand, Qin Ji really doesn't want his sister to become a real officer.

This time I brought her with me because I was afraid that she would not be able to stand it for a long time.And Qin Ji basically just asked her to talk about her views on the situation of the battle, and he would only use her words as a reference.If she is allowed to personally command the battle, it means that the lives of countless people are at her whim.

This responsibility is too heavy, and he really doesn't want Qin Siyue to shoulder such a responsibility.
