"Liu Qi, I can agree to let the Ministry of War manage the new weapons you have developed and mass-produce them."
"Let's put this matter aside for now. Which generals are you going to take with you this time?"
Liu Qi thought for a moment and glanced at the generals.
Many people stepped back when they saw him looking over, and some simply lowered their heads.
It can be clearly seen that although many military generals said they wanted to fight the Xiongnu to win or lose, they were not optimistic about this battle in their hearts.
Are these people worthy of being generals?
Liu Qi didn't care about these either. And he doesn't care.
"Father, in addition to General Bai Qi and General Qin Wei, I also want General Han Zhong to accompany him!"
Hearing his name, Han Zhong trembled, and even his breathing became a little heavy.
He never thought that the prince's words that day were not just said casually.
Not only Han Zhong himself, but also other civil servants and generals were shocked.
As a veteran of the DPRK, General Han Zhong has not been on an expedition for many years.
It can be said that staying in Lantian camp now is just to take care of life.
Can he still fight with his old bones? Many people can't help but be a little skeptical.
However, what Liu Qi didn't expect was.
My father didn't even hesitate and agreed directly.
"Okay, I'm sure."
You know, in the imperial court, the most senior person is General Han Zhong. At the same time, he can also be said to be the oldest subordinate under Leji.
Everyone knows why he cannot fight. It is because he has a serious and long-term illness.
But despite this, Emperor Qing didn't seem to care at all.
"Old General Han, would you like to join the crown prince in sending troops to the Huns?"
Hearing Emperor Qing's question, Han Zhong was stunned, and looking at his expression, he seemed a little unbelievable.
After a few seconds, he suddenly looked excited and shouted loudly with his hands clasped in fists.
"I am willing to go!"
Emperor Qing nodded with satisfaction, and Liu Qi also let out a long sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Emperor Qing suddenly spoke.
"Liu Qi, in addition to General Han, I also want to pair you with two people to go on a joint expedition."
"May I ask Father, who is he?"
"One is your fourth brother, Liu Yin, and the other is General Yan Wenhu."
Liu Qi's heart skipped a beat when he heard the names of these two people.
He couldn't understand how his father could assign him to him when he knew that he and Liu Yin were not on good terms.
That's all. The most important thing is that Liu Yin is just a brainless and reckless man. When he goes to the battlefield, let alone meritorious service, it's better not to cause trouble for himself.
Not to mention Yan Wenhu.
Not only did he not deal with him, he was also Yang Wenyuan's lackey.
If you take him with you, not to mention that you have Yang Wenyuan's spy, you have to be on guard all the time, he might cause a stumbling block for you.
But there was no other way. His father had just promised him happily to go on an expedition with General Han Zhong, so he couldn't refuse it bluntly in this court.
"My son, I obey!"
When responding, Liu Qi glanced below.
It can be found that Yan Wenhu was also very surprised. He was looking at Yang Wenyuan, as if he thought he had arranged it intentionally.
"Okay, do you have anything else to do?"
There was silence in the court hall.
"Then retreat."
...
Yang Mansion, in the lobby.
"That's great. In a few days, the prince will go on an expedition. To rush out troops in such a short time and fight against the Huns is not to seek death, haha."
As soon as Yang Zhu finished speaking, Jia Siming echoed.
"I don't know what the emperor is thinking. He has really done us a big favor. With General Yan Wenhu accompanying him, it saves us the trouble of installing spies."
Yan Wenhu was patting his chest at this time.
"Don't worry, sir. When the general follows him to the front line, he will definitely not let them win!"
But Yang Wenyuan snorted.
"What kind of help? Don't you see? This is the emperor, and he is deliberately protecting the prince."
Everyone's faces were full of doubts.
"Although General Han Zhong is old, he has experience in fighting the Huns. With his assistance, he will definitely become Liu Qi's right-hand man."
"As for letting the Fourth Prince and General Yan follow, it's just because I'm worried that Liu Qi will lose this battle so that someone can take the blame together."
"When the time comes, it won't be Liu Qi's business alone. Even the Fourth Prince and General Yan will be implicated. The Emperor is worried that someone is causing trouble."
When Yang Wenyuan said this, everyone suddenly realized.
Li Shouting took a deep breath and stretched forward.
"Sir, if that's the case, then we..."
"Don't worry, I already thought about it when we were on the road..."
Just when Yang Wenyuan was discussing with a group of buddies. On Liu Qi's side, Qin Wei, Bai Qi and Lu Liang had all been summoned to the study.
After talking about what happened at today's court meeting, except for Qin Wei, the other two people didn't have much reaction.
"Your Highness, what should we do? If we rush to send troops, we will definitely lose!"
Liu Qi laughed.
"Who said that the king is going to send troops hastily?"
"Actually, from my point of view, this is not necessarily a bad thing. When we arrive at Pingzhuang, we can prepare military affairs here. Secondly, we can be on the front line to monitor the Xiongnu's movements. There are also some situations where we can have some control. understood.”
Bai Qi nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness is right. Since the ministers are always forcing you to go to war as soon as possible, it is better to just follow their wishes."
"You can continue training when you arrive at Pingzhuang. After all, there will be no change in the return date of His Highness's troops."
Liu Qi smiled.
"Yes, so I'm calling you here today because I hope you can make preparations early. When you get there, it won't be too late to make plans."
As he spoke, he looked to the side.
"Lu Liang, I have arranged such a big job for you without your consent. Do you have any idea?"
Lu Liang smiled and shook his head.
"I will certainly fulfill my mission!"
"However, in this matter, I have a suggestion. In fact, we can get more benefits from the female empire."
Liu Qi became interested.
"how to say?"
"Except for Garukin Hetao, after our army is victorious, we can turn around and eradicate all the tribes in the Bayanna grassland."
"There are many cattle and sheep there, which can be used as war trophies for our army. As for the place, it can also be given directly to the female empire."
Liu Qi was a little strange.
It's just a living area for the Huns. What's the point of giving it to the female empire?
"Your Highness, don't be surprised."
"Bayanna is actually a very special place. It is not only a living area for the Huns, but also a place of trade between the Huns and South Korea."
"If this place is handed over to the female empire, there will definitely be disputes from time to time."
"At that time, the relationship between the three can be provoked, which may weaken their combat power for a long time."
Liu Qi suddenly realized that the other two people also looked at Lu Liang with admiration.
Liu Qi took a deep breath and nodded.
"very good."
"But there is a problem that I haven't figured out until now."
