A few days later, Xiao Yuan ordered generals in the court, first choosing two generals: Peng Shuang and Tang Yue.
Then he ordered Ping Nanhou and Zhengnan General Ning Zhan.
Zhang Dashan, the Marquis of Pingxi and the general who conquered the West.
Ping Donghou and Xu Rong, the general who conquered the east.
In addition to Wei Qing, Xiao Yuan dispatched all his four expedition generals, more than ten generals at all levels, more than forty officers at the rank of captain, and civilian officials with Jia You and Wang Su as the main advisers, and another Accompanying the military chiefs are Bo, Shenshang, Jijiu, Sima, etc.
The lineup is very strong.
The Founding Group has no shortage of counselors in literature and generals in military affairs.
Originally, Su Yi was going to go on the expedition with him, but his body was still in the recovery stage and was not suitable for the expedition, so Xiao Yuan asked him to recuperate at home.
Shangguan Wenruo still had some government affairs in the DPRK that needed him to preside over.
As before, Xiao Yuan ordered generals and never used edicts, because the names and leadership abilities of each general were in his mind.
After ordering the general, Xiao Yuanyan said briefly and comprehensively:
"The Prime Minister temporarily leads the government and presides over the overall situation."
"The rest of the ministers perform their duties."
"I obey your orders——" All the ministers bent down and held their hands.
The next day, the queen went to the palace.
Lu Yunyan stood in front of Xiao Yuan, carefully tidying up his clothes, and said with some resentment: "We have to go to war again."
Xiao Yuandao: "If the ghost clan is not eliminated, my heart will not be at peace, and the country will not be at peace either."
"I understand the truth. Brother Wang must pay attention to his health when we are away on an expedition."
As Lu Yunyan spoke, she also gently hugged his waist, rested her head on his shoulder, and refused to let go.
"Okay." Xiao Yuan gently stroked her black hair.
Lu Yunyan raised her head, stroked Xiao Yuan's cheek, and then kissed him.
"Brother Wang, come back soon. I'll wait for your triumphant return at home."
"kindness."
In late February, Xiao Yuan swore an oath at the North Camp of Chang'an, mobilized 300,000 heavy troops, and 50,000 southern Xinjiang troops, marched to the northeast, and officially started the battle to annihilate the ghost tribe.
The armies stretching all over the world formed several long dragons, with black flags fluttering and halberds standing in the air. Teams of cavalry followed the infantry. The scene was huge, magnificent and shocking.
The army marched all the way to the northeast, and every time it passed through the city, it was welcomed by the local people.
The world was shaken, and the people were all wishing for victory.
In a certain city, people were already standing on both sides of the street. Looking at the troops of the Southern Xinjiang soldiers following the Qin army, some people couldn't help but talk to the people next to them: "Hey, the generals of the Qin Dynasty are all black armor and red tassels. These guys are not us. The country’s military.”
"You don't know?" said the man next to him: "I heard that Southern Xinjiang sent 50,000 troops to help, and they want to follow us to fight the ghost tribe."
"Tsk, our Great Qin soldiers are so brave, do we need them?"
"You can't say that. After all, they are here to help."
"That's true."
"Don't tell me that Southern Xinjiang is pretty good."
"I also heard that the Princess of Southern Xinjiang has been engaged to our Sixth Young Master of Great Qin."
"real or fake?"
"Damn, this can be false. You are too ill-informed. You don't care about national affairs."
The crowd discussed, and soon bursts of cheers broke out, followed by uniform shouts:
"Great Qin will win!"
"Great Qin will definitely win——"
Listening to the deafening shouts all around, Meng Ya felt the prestige of Emperor Qin during this journey.
Vice General Shi Kai whispered beside him: "Big Chief, this army is too popular with the people."
Meng Ya glanced at him: "The Qin Emperor has unified the world, and hundreds of millions of people have returned home. No one can match this power."
the other side.
Xiao Yuan wants to conquer the ghost tribe. Nanjiang knows it, and Beidi naturally knows it too.
But Shane didn't intend to make any moves, he was just watching a show.
When they learned that Meng Ya actually sent 50,000 troops to help, someone in Beidi inevitably said: "Chanyu, this southern Xinjiang is following the Qin State, should we do something?"
Hearing this, Sha En curled his lips and sneered: "Meng Ya is just trying to flatter Emperor Qin with a shameless face. We don't have to join in the fun."
"That's true. You won't get much benefit from traveling so far to fight the ghost clan." The man nodded in agreement and said nothing more.
In early April, Xiao Yuan led his army to Northeast Pass.
Wei Qing and other generals came out to greet him. They lifted their military robes at the camp gate, knelt on one knee, cupped their fists and saluted: "See your majesty! Long live my emperor!"
"They're all flat."
While Xiao Yuan was talking, he stepped forward and held Wei Qing up with one hand, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Nothing has changed, he still looks the same, neither fat nor thin."
Wei Qing was flattered by the emperor's words and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I am scared."
Xiao Yuan patted his shoulder and stepped forward: "Let's go, let's talk in the tent."
"promise!"
All the generals followed him respectfully and crowded in.
After arriving at the Chinese army's tent, Xiao Yuan naturally took his seat directly above the commander's seat, with civil servants and generals lined up on both sides.
On the left are military generals such as Peng Shuang, Tang Yue, Wei Qing, Ning Zhan, Zhang Dashan, Xu Rong, Chen Jing, Zhao Chen, and Zhou Ding, and on the right are civil servants such as Jia You, Wang Su, Yan Sui, Lou He, and Pang Si'an.
Lou He is worth mentioning here. He was a former counselor of the Liang Kingdom. He was not as famous as Cai Yan, but he was also a wise man. He had many good suggestions, but none of them were adopted by the King of Liang. Later, after Liang was destroyed, , Corporal Xiao Yuanlixian recruited him.
In the subsequent wars that wiped out various countries, Lou He also made a lot of contributions, mostly following the army branch to make plans.
There were many civil servants and generals in the entire tent. After everyone saluted, Xiao Yuan extended his hand to Meng Ya and said: "Let me introduce you first. This is Meng Ya, the leader of Southern Xinjiang. He has gathered 50,000 troops to help our country. ."
"Chief Meng." Everyone bowed their hands.
Meng Ya also raised his hand and returned the courtesy: "Everyone is polite."
After the introduction, Xiao Yuan went straight to the topic: "Getting back to the topic, including the soldiers from southern Xinjiang, the current army totals 500,000. It is my intention that the 50,000 border defense troops from the Northeast Sekiyuan remain behind and are responsible for the security of the supply line."
"The remaining four hundred and fifty thousand."
"Wei Qing leads 80,000 troops, which is the first army to attack the ghost tribe."
"Ning Zhan leads 80,000 troops as the second line."
"Zhang Dashan leads 80,000 troops, which is the third line."
"Xu Rong led 80,000 troops as the fourth line."
"Meng Ya's headquarters has 50,000 soldiers and horses, which is the fifth army."
"The remaining 80,000 will support the armies."
"I have the order!" All the generals clasped their fists and shouted loudly.
Then, Wei Qing said: "I believe that in addition to the five-pronged army and rear army attacking the ghost tribe, your majesty's command position must be defended by elite troops."
"The general agrees. Your Majesty's safety is more important than anything else."
"The general seconded the proposal."
Everyone lined up and clasped their fists.
Peng Shuang then said: "Your Majesty, Xu Chen and General Tang Yue will each lead an army to protect your Majesty."
"I second the proposal!" Tang Yue also said.
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded. This was his original plan. In addition to the five-pronged army, there were 80,000 that could be deployed.
