"Father, leading an army to the north is a big deal. You must be careful. My son is still a child who doesn't understand anything!"
Xiaozheng changed his confident expression from before, and his two small eyebrows were knitted together. He looked at Ying Zheng pitifully, as if he was about to cry.
However, as soon as these words came out, everyone, including Ying Zheng, curled their lips and turned their heads to the side!
If this kid is a child who doesn't understand anything, then they are not even a child, at most they are a tadpole!
A person who can make steel knives, make white paper, and study artillery buds, let alone six years old, even if he is still in his infancy, they all admire him!
"It doesn't matter, as long as you go, you don't have to worry about other things...!"
Ying Zheng grinned and continued: "As for commanding the troops and horses, I will send other generals to go with them!"
This is a war between two countries, involving hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops. It is impossible for him to just let Xiao Shota go there alone.
I just feel that this guy has a lot of ideas in his head and knows a lot about artillery. There are only advantages and no disadvantages in going with him!
As for commanding the troops, we have to find someone with rich experience and prestige in the army!
"No, no, no, Father, I am still young and have no experience in marching and fighting. Besides, I have never been to such a far place and I don't understand the environment there at all!"
Xiao Zhengtai waved his hands repeatedly and begged for mercy with a grimace.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't been there. Meng Yi has been staying in Shangjun for a long time. When the time comes, you will go together. He will tell you about the geographical environment. Besides, the scouts will be in charge of the exploration, so you don't have to worry!"
Ying Zheng said gloatingly.
The more reluctant this kid is to go, the more he wants him to go!
It was also a training session for him!
Among all the princes, this boy is the only one with outstanding talents and always considers the people.
In terms of personality, he is not as cowardly as Fusu, he is a good prospect!
"The young master is extremely talented and can lead troops well. He can easily navigate even the complex geographical environment of Lingnan, let alone the endless grasslands of the Xiongnu!"
"Yes, in the battle of Lingnan, the young master quickly defeated Zhao Tuo in just one day, with almost zero casualties. Even us veterans who have been on the battlefield for many years dare not take this guarantee!"
"But no, if it were us in the battle of Lingnan, we would have to fight head-on. Even if we win in the end, both sides will suffer losses. However, the young master is kind-hearted and persuades the rebels to surrender, thus saving the lives of tens of thousands of our Daqin soldiers!"
"If we go north together with the young master, we will definitely have a greater chance of winning!"
…
After Ying Zheng's words, the soldiers spoke out one after another to support Xiao Zhengtai in going on the expedition together.
During the battle in Lingnan, they all fell into admiration!
Even if Tongwuhou Wang Ben goes there, it is impossible to capture Zhao Tuo in one day, let alone zero casualties!
Little Shota couldn't sit still, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
If he had known this, he should not have taken this job from Lingnan!
Now, everyone has remembered them all, how can they let him go?
"Father, it's okay for my sons and ministers to go, but there is no one to manage the newspaper office, paper shop, bookstore, and wine shop, which will directly affect my father's dividends!"
Xiao Zhengtai continued to find excuses and brought out Daddy's interests.
I hope he can let him go for the sake of money.
However, Old God Ying Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't think that I don't know. Every property of your boy is managed by someone. You don't need to worry about it at all. Even if your boy is not in Xianyang, it will never affect you." My dividend! Besides, with that little money, can it be compared to conquering the Huns?"
The dividends from the wine shop are important, but compared with the increase in Da Qin's territory, it is simply not worth mentioning!
Moreover, it is a country that often provokes and invades its borders!
"Looking at this, does the father have to let his son go?"
Seeing that he was still unmoved, Xiao Zhengtai simply put away his pitiful expression.
"That's right...!"
Ying Zheng nodded firmly and said with a relaxed expression: "Don't worry, you don't need to go into battle to kill the enemy in person. I will send other generals to go with you, and you can just follow and come up with ideas!"
"Okay, now that my father has made up his mind, I have three requests!"
There was no other way, this old guy was determined after eating the weight, so Xiao Zhengtai could only negotiate terms.
The hard work of going north cannot be in vain!
"You kid, what else do you want? You go into battle and kill the enemy, and when you come back you will be honored with military honors. You don't even get what others ask for, but you kid actually still have demands?"
Ying Zheng couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know whether to be angry or laugh at the child's stupidity.
"Yes, if the father does not agree, even if the knife is placed on my neck, I will not go!"
Little Shota hugged his shoulders, scratched his neck, and turned his little head aside.
"Oh? Then you have to tell me what the conditions are!"
Ying Zheng suddenly laughed.
Give him a chance to make meritorious deeds, and this guy actually takes it easy and negotiates terms!
"First, I must go to war as a commander-in-chief. No matter how many soldiers I bring, I must obey my orders!"
"Secondly, in addition to the generals ordered by the father, the sons also have to choose their own generals. The father cannot have any objections to who he chooses!"
Little Shota raised his calves, jumped off the stool, and said seriously.
"Feiyu, the expedition against the Xiongnu is not going to Lingnan. It requires at least 200,000 to 300,000 troops. Are you sure you can lead them?"
Ying Zheng spoke suspiciously, but he was more shocked.
He didn't expect that this kid would become the commander-in-chief!
"Have you ever lied to your father, or failed to do something?"
"Well...that's not the case!"
Ying Zheng thought about it for a moment and realized that this boy had always acted prudently and never boasted.
"Sure! I promise to make you the commander-in-chief! I will also let you choose your own generals!"
After some deliberation, Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.
"By the way, didn't you say you have three requests? Why are there only two?"
"hey-hey……!"
When it came to the third request, Xiao Zhengtai suddenly laughed out loud and showed a very philistine expression, "My son led the army to conquer the Huns. Shouldn't my father also give me some rewards?"
There is no benefit to leaving the comfort zone of Xianyang and going to the grasslands in the north with a group of big men, and having to fight wits and courage with those barbarians. Who is willing to go?
"You said... you can conquer the Huns? Are you sure?"
However, the key point that Ying Zheng heard in this sentence was not asking for benefits, but the words conquering the Huns.
The Xiongnu often invaded Da Qin, but Da Qin always had no way to deal with them, so much so that he even dreamed of getting rid of the Xiongnu!
If this kid is really confident about conquering the Huns, it will really relieve his worries!
