Yan Yun nodded slightly and said: "It seems...our Great Yan Empire must make offensive arrangements in advance!"
Kong Zhidao stood up and said: "Your Majesty... Although the soldiers and horses of our Yan Empire are very strong, we do not have any advantage in terms of numbers! If we attack the Zhao State, the Chu State in the south and the Wei State in the southwest will definitely They will unite to attack other border areas of Dayan. In this way... when our troops are insufficient, we will inevitably be stretched! So... we have to take precautions and make plans in advance! If our army really wants to attack Zhao, then ...Before attacking the State of Zhao, Your Majesty should use the people of the Yan Empire to support the new emperor and recruit troops to increase the number of our elite troops! In this way, even if Wei and Chu come to kill us, we will have no fear! Moreover...the nomads in the north will not be peaceful either! Once we start a war, these guys will definitely take the opportunity to harass us! There will be no peace in my border land!"
Kong Zhidao's words calmed Yan Yun's mind.
really!
The total number of troops under Yan Yun's command is now less than 650,000.
Yanmuguan: 5,000 Iron-Blooded Crossbow Cavalry and 10,000 Rock Lancer Crossbowmen.
Savage City: 120,000 ordinary soldiers, 8,000 iron-blooded crossbowmen, 8,000 violent marksmen, and 5,000 rock crossbowmen.
Huxiao Pass: 150,000.
Yanzhao Pass: 150,000.
Yanhuang City: Yanhuang City has 1,000 dragon-blooded warriors, 45,000 iron-blooded crossbow cavalry, 35,000 violent sharpshooters, 35,000 rock crossbowmen, 2,500 swordsmen, and 60,000 ordinary soldiers.
All added up: 480,000 ordinary soldiers, 1,000 dragon-blooded warriors, 59,000 iron-blooded crossbow cavalry, 43,000 violent marksmen, 50,000 rock crossbowmen, and 2,500 swordsmen.
The total strength is 632,500.
After some thought, Yan Yun looked at Wei Kuangbiao and Guo Xiaoqi and said: "For the sake of border security, from now on, Wei Kuangbiao is ordered to lead 15,000 iron-blooded crossbow cavalry, 10,000 violent sharpshooters, and 10,000 rock gun crossbowmen to continue to stay in charge. At Yanzhao Pass, Zhao Tu and Huang Jue are assisting you! Be ready to go to war at any time!"
"No!!" Wei Kuangbiao clasped his hands and responded respectfully.
"Order, Guo Xiaoqi and Wei Xiong, each leading 8,000 iron-blooded crossbow cavalry, 5,000 violent sharpshooters, and 5,000 rock crossbowmen, will continue to sit at Huxiao Pass and Manhuang Mountain. They must guard these two breakthrough points and be ready to fight at any time. Get ready! Niu Shanhai and Tuoba Han will assist you two for now!"
"General, take your orders!" Wei Xiong and Guo Xiaoqi responded with their hands clasped in fists.
Yan Yun knew it well.
The Great Yan Empire could not be as strong as it is today without the command of its many generals, but it was also inseparable from the passionate fighting of these three elite troops.
so.
He specially separated these three troops to guard the border. In any case, it would at least have a deterrent effect.
As a result, the Yanhuang City military camp still has: 1,000 dragon-blooded warriors, 15,000 iron-blooded crossbow cavalry, 15,000 violent marksmen, 15,000 rock crossbowmen, 2,500 swordsmen, and 60,000 ordinary soldiers.
There are five fierce generals around him: Zheng Ba, Xiong Hubao, Pang Julong, Qin Daode, and Pei Jieao.
In order to increase the number of elite soldiers and horses in the country.
Yan Yun ordered Pang Julong to sit in the Yanhuang City military camp and recruit soldiers vigorously.
This time.
Ordinary soldiers and elite soldiers are all recruited with full firepower.
Ordinary soldiers are used to defend cities and guard borders.
Elite soldiers are used to attack cities and conquer villages in all directions.
After all arrangements were completed, Yan Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
After retreating from the court.
Accompanied by Zhao Lie, Yan Yun came to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers.
Flower viewing was specially proposed by Zhao Lie.
As his father's master and the most important figure around him, Yan Yun was very respectful to Zhao Lie.
This respect includes Zhao Lie's respect as an elder, and Zhao Lie's respect for his contribution to the country.
In fact, Zhao Lie is indeed a person worthy of his respect and respect.
Zhao Lie has been on the battlefield for many years and has made great achievements in battle. He is an iconic figure of the Yan Empire.
Although he is old, he is getting stronger with age.
Yan Yun originally wanted to make him the second king with a different surname - the God of War King, and give him a palace.
But Zhao Lie declined.
He is worthy enough to bear the title of God of War King.
But throughout the history of the Yan Empire, the kings with different surnames were the ones killed the most.
Every king with a different surname will never survive the second term.
Yan Yun couldn't resist Zhao Lie, so he didn't make him king.
In Yan Yun's view, the behavior of previous emperors was simply vulgar.
He would not do this kind of thing of killing a king with a different surname.
Although the king with a different surname was granted to him by himself, he would still be very useful in the hands of his own son.
After Qin Yaochuan followed his father, he followed himself. He was very loyal to both himself and his father.
Given time, the son of the Seventh Lady Duan Runxia is really born, and Qin Daode and Qin Badao will definitely support this prince.
These people are bound to his emotional system, each of them is full of loyalty, and they have established a deep trusting relationship with him.
Without this relationship, it is possible or impossible that Yan Yun would trust these people.
Everything is unknown.
Fortunately, he knew what these people were thinking.
"Your Majesty..." Although Zhao Lie is old, his body is still strong and strong. He stands tall and strong, hesitating to speak, as if he has something to say.
"If the old general has anything to say, just say it. There is no need to hide it!" Yan Yun said respectfully.
Zhao Lie nodded slightly and said, "What do you think of Wei Xiong and his son, Your Majesty?"
"Wei Xiong and his son? Very good! There are two generals in one corps, one is worshiped as a hussar general, and the other is worshiped as a cavalry general. Under my command, they can be regarded as the first or second big men! I don't know what the old general said about these two What do people do?" Yan Yun asked puzzledly.
"Does Your Majesty trust these two people?" Zhao Lie asked again, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Of course I trust you! Wei Xiong was once the captain of the Tiger Roar Cavalry, and one of my father's generals! He was extremely loyal and brave to my father. On the way to exile, he was forced to leave his hometown for our family! Now it's even more important to me. The Yan Empire has made great military exploits! How can I not trust such a great man who is worthy of praise?" These were Yan Yun's words from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha... so good!"
Zhao Lie stroked his beard and laughed and said, "Then...can your Majesty keep the father and son by your side completely?"
"This... do you still need to ask?" Yan Yun asked, rolling his eyes.
"Well! There's really no need to ask!"
Zhao Lie nodded and said: "Then... Your Majesty should have met Wei Xiong's daughter - Wei Yanran, right?"
