"Mr. Liu, you are finally back. This is the military memorial sent by Marquis Tongwu just now."
The next day, Liu Bai had just retreated from the court and returned home when he heard a voice and saw Xiao He walking in a hurry, holding a roll of bamboo slips and coming forward to greet him.
"What's the matter? Let's go in and talk?"
Liu Bai was slightly startled and also a little confused.
The so-called military strategy is actually just a process of ordering the troops and then reporting them to His Majesty the First Emperor.
Is it necessary for Xiao He to be so panicked?
Liu Bai led Xiao He to the hall, took the military memorial from Xiao He, and frowned instantly: "When did Wang Ben learn to be so unreasonable?"
It clearly stated that thousands of people from the Xuanjia Army were to be taken away to Daijun in the north.
This is nothing, the key is... they actually named them, saying that deputy general Xia Houying and centurion Fan Kuai were staying in Xianyang, so there was no need to bring them to the front line.
"Brother Xiao, dare I ask what is going on in the military book? Even Duke Liu is so confused?"
Chen Ping asked.
He had heard about the reputation of Marquis Tongwu, but now even Duke Liu was not honest. Could it be that he had really done something bad?
"Chen Ping, didn't your Majesty punish Marquis Tongwu yesterday to go to Daijun in the north to guard the border? Today, as usual, he handed over a military memorial and stated what troops he would lead to the north."
"But according to this military memorial, General Wang will lead the Xuanjia Army to Daijun in the north, and Xia Houying and Fan Kuai will not be included in the roll call."
Xiao He opened his mouth to explain to Chen Ping and frowned tightly.
Xia Houying and Fan Kuai were his fellow villagers in Peixian County, and Liu Bai gave up a lot of benefits to them, so they joined the Xuanjia Army.
Now that Wang Ben has opened his mouth to take Xuan Jiajun away, but he doesn't take these two people with him, isn't this not killing the donkey?
Besides...
The armor of the Xuanjia Army has not been built yet! With such a strong military base, Liu Bai would be heartbroken to see Daijun in the north wearing light armor fighting with the Huns' wolf soldiers!
"Mr. Liu, I have something to say!"
"Marquis Tongwu has always been confident in the soldiers of Huben Camp. He is also a fierce general and likes to fight bravely. This matter does not seem to be the handiwork of Marquis Tongwu, but rather like Old General Wang passing a message to you!"
Chen Ping smiled slightly.
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. He didn't care about military matters, but he could see clearly from the perspective of human heart and character.
"Give me a message?"
Liu Bai rubbed his chin and nodded slightly: "Indeed! Our Marquis Tongwu cannot do such an unethical act of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge."
"But that's not necessarily the case for the old general. He is a sinister person."
As for this old God of War, we must not look at him with the eyes we have now.
Don't look at Wang Jian now in the court, looking like he is "stumbling" and "dying".
but...
This is a person who has truly come from the Lu Buwei era.
His Majesty the First Emperor has experienced so many twists and turns in the court, but this old general has never failed in anything.
In terms of Yin Ren's kung fu, he is really no worse than Li Si!
It's just that it was covered up because of his outstanding military exploits.
"But...if the old general really asked Tongwuhou to do this, why?"
Xiao He asked in confusion: "Is it because the old general is afraid that Duke Liu will place people in the army?"
There is some truth to this. Military generals...have their own direct line troops, which are most convenient to use.
"No!"
"Mr. Liu! In Chen Ping's humble opinion, the old general may have the exact opposite intention. He just wants Mr. Liu to place people in the army."
Unexpectedly, Chen Ping shook his head and said with a smile on his face.
After saying these words, Liu Bai's eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "Aping, don't hide it, what do you mean? If you let me put it in, there will be too many people who want to throw me in!"
Chen Ping smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Liu, the Xuanjia Army was built by Mr. Liu with all his efforts, and everyone in the court knows this!"
"Since Marquis Tongwu wants to take away the Xuanjia Army, it means that the Wang family has no grudge against Duke Liu's actions!"
"but!"
"Does Mr. Liu think that a Xuanjia army with less than one-tenth of its armor is really suitable to establish itself in Dai County in the north, a place that only values military merit? And with Xia Houying, a man with no military merit at all, as the deputy general, What about the Xuanjia Army?"
"And the cost of building the Xuanjia Army will shock everyone in the world sooner or later. What about those ordinary armies?"
When Chen Ping said these words, Xiao He was a little confused: "But if this is the case, why did you take the Xuanjia Army away?"
Before Chen Ping could answer this question, Liu Bai spoke first: "It's very simple, because the Xuanjia Army must appear in Daijun in the north!"
"When this army was established, the prime minister, General Wang, and even His Majesty designated it as the protective force of Great Qin!"
"If the Xiongnu wolf soldiers invade Qin, this first fierce battle is the time to establish the military spirit of this army!"
"The first battle will largely extend this military spirit to every subsequent generation!"
"If you want the Xuanjia Army to be strong, you have to fight hard!"
Thinking of this, Liu Bai's lips twitched, and he said a little helplessly: "To put it bluntly, the old general just urged me to quickly get out the follow-up armor of the Xuanjia Army."
"That's what it means to drive the ducks to the shelves!"
Bringing the unarmored Xuanjia Army to Daijun, and the Huns don't know when they will attack. Doesn't this move clearly tell him to hurry up?
As for Xia Houying and Fan Kuai...
It's very simple. The old general has one idea: when the Xuanjia Army is full, just ask them to send it over!
Thinking of this, Liu Bai was speechless.
These two fierce generals during the period of Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, suddenly became the old general's messenger and ordnance transport clerk!
"Xiao He, at the Mo family workshop, can the black armor be made faster?"
Liu Bai frowned slightly and asked.
Xiao He shook his head.
Manpower has its limit, Xuanjia is different from paper, and the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army are all top-notch warriors. Human lives are at stake, so we cannot slack off at all, so the craftsmanship is naturally slow.
"Okay, then let Xia Houying and Fan Kuai take that thing over!"
"The old general underestimates the army that I have worked hard to build. Do I look like a stubborn person?"
Liu Bai sighed, feeling disappointed by the old general.
"Mr. Liu, what do you mean..."
"Wuhou Liannu?"
Xiao He was slightly startled, with an incredulous look on his face, and asked tentatively.
"Well! Let them take it with them! Xuanjia's future fortune, with the Wuhou Liannu, even if the Xuanjia army is shirtless, its combat power is not something anyone can despise."
Liu Bai nodded, his face aching.
Wu Hou's crossbows
This thing is my secret weapon when I prepare to lead troops on expeditions in the future!
Wuhou Wuhou means that he, Liu Bai, wants to become a prince based on his martial arts!
