Chapter 466 Ying will enter the shogunate and order the West Sea to blockade!
It is difficult to open up a territory and expand the territory. You need to fight for your life and luck, but it is even more difficult to hold on to the conquered land and naturalize it. Therefore, there is a saying that has been circulating in the Central Plains:
Keeping a business is more difficult than starting a business.
Ma Xing's task was not only to raise three months of food and fodder for the 300,000-strong army, but also to ensure that the land conquered this time was naturalized.
This is an important task that extremely tests one's abilities.
Although Ma Xing is good, he is not as good as Meng Yi after all. Even Ying Gao has to admit this.
Ying Gao's original intention was to leave the matter to Meng Yi, but after much deliberation he decided to leave it to Ma Xing. Between Meng Yi and Ma Xing, he preferred Ma Xing.
At this time, Ma Xing has already been labeled as a winner.
Letting Ma Xing grow up and be promoted to a higher position is what Ying Gao should do. Naturally, he wanted to give Ma Xing such a rare training opportunity.
People are unfamiliar, and this has been the case since ancient times.
No one is truly selfless. Ying Gao is not a saint, he is just an ordinary person, and he is also an ambitious young master of the Qin Dynasty. Naturally, he focuses on cultivating his own people.
Ying Gao drank the tea in the cup, then looked at Ma Xing, who looked solemn, and said: "Although this time is very stressful, it is also an opportunity."
"A person will not grow without experiencing stress!"
"promise."
After nodding in agreement, Ma Xing fell silent.
He originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw Ying Gao's eyes, his face changed slightly, and he swallowed his words again. He knew in his heart that Ying Gao's eyes meant that there was no room for negotiation in this matter.
"General Meng Yi, follow me into the shogunate!"
Having said this, Ying Gao turned to Tie Ying and said, "Inform Master Sima and Li Xin to clear out the enemy's spies in Xihai County. We are going to be the only people here from Great Qin."
"promise."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire study became solemn. They all knew that since Ying Gao had issued such an order, it meant that the war had begun from this moment on.
The entire Xihai County will be under full martial law from this moment on and will enter a state of lockdown.
No information can only come in and out, and no one's information can come in or out.
........
The army shogunate.
"General Li, General Ying has ordered to blockade Xihai County and send scouts to eliminate enemy spies!" An ordinary python sergeant appeared in the shogunate and said to Li Xin.
Hearing this, Li Xin glanced at the soldiers with straight eyes, then turned to Meng Liao and said, "Meng Liao, check your identity!"
"promise."
Meng Liao was in charge of the Wansheng Army, so he was not under Li Xin's control. However, Wang Hu was away at the moment, and only Meng Liao was familiar with Jingyesi, not to mention that Li Xin's official position was above him.
After checking it, Meng Liao turned to Li Xin and said, "General, the token is true!"
Hearing Meng Liao's answer, Li Zhixin turned his head, then turned to Wang Li and said, "Wang Li, I'll leave this matter to you. Immediately block Xihai County, and then kill the enemy spies we have!"
"promise."
........
At this moment, everyone knew that Ying Gao had arrived in Xihai County. This was simply a clear threat to Ying Gao's safety.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Ying Gao has arrived, which means that the war is about to begin. Coming here is originally for the war. At this moment, in the eyes of the generals, it seems that the battle achievements are just ahead.
Everyone was excited.
This is the charm of a victorious commander. They know that as long as Ying Gao is here, the war will be won. After all, in every war that Ying Gao participates in commanding, the titles of his generals will be promoted.
They all knew that if all the military exploits were added up, Ying Gao would have already been granted the title of Marquis by this time.
"Meng Liao prepares to welcome General Ying into the shogunate!"
"promise."
Li Xin had always known his purpose of going to the West Sea. While he was training the Python Army, he was waiting for Ying Gao to come for the second time.
He knew better than anyone else that Ying Gao had stationed about 200,000 troops in Xihai County, and Qin Wangzheng asked him to sit here, which was definitely not to guard against Young Master Gao.
The two father and son were planning the war from beginning to end. Qin Wangzheng sent him here to train him and then prepare for the Qin Dynasty to go east.
Therefore, Li Xin knew from the beginning that a war would inevitably break out in the northwest within a short period of time.
And the commander-in-chief can only win high!
The Python Bird Army, the Wan Sheng Army, and the Imperial Guard Army are all subordinate armies of Ying Gao, and Young Master Gao is invincible in every battle.
Ever since Gongzi Gao came out, he must conquer every attack and win every battle. If he wanted to end the Northwest War in a short time, the imperial court would definitely use Gongzi Gao.
…
"General Ying, Xihai County has been sealed off. General Wang Li is leading the army to root out enemy spies. Should we enter the shogunate?"
Tie Ying also received the news from Master Sima at this time, and quickly walked into the study room and said to Ying Gao.
"Um."
Nodding, Ying Gao and Meng Yi looked at each other, stood up quickly, and said: "Send orders to the Iron Eagle warriors and sir, let's enter the shogunate."
"promise."
Half an hour later, Ying Gao and his party entered the army shogunate.
"My subordinate, Li Xin, led the generals and met General Ying!" Seeing Ying Gao walking in, Li Xin quickly saluted and said.
"Subordinate, Meng Liao, Wang Hu has seen General Ying——!" Meng Liao and Wang Hu's eyes were full of excitement, and they said to Ying Gao.
"My subordinates have met General Ying!"
"You guys don't need to be polite!" Ying Gaoyi stretched out his hand to help us slightly and said, "We are all men in the army, so we don't want to be polite!"
"Everyone take your seats!"
"Thank you General Ying!"
…
As everyone took their seats, the entire shogunate suddenly became more atmospheric and no longer seemed so empty.
Sitting down on the commander's seat, Ying Gao turned to Li Xin and said, "Li Xin, tell me about the situation of the Python Bird Army!"
Hearing this, Li Xin quickly raised his hand to Ying Gaoyi and said: "General Ying, the Python Bird Army has reached fifteen units, all of which are cavalry."
"In the West Sea, my subordinates established a horse farm, but because of the war horses traded with Rongdi of the Dayue clan, they were all castrated by the two countries..."
"Since the imperial court has sufficient supply of weapons this time, the Python Army's equipment, even though it is not as good as the Lantian Camp, is still the best in the world."
At this point, Li Xin lowered his tone: "It's just that most of the Python Army are new troops and have not yet seen blood on the battlefield, so their combat effectiveness may not be as good as expected."
"This is not a big deal, the Python Army will go to the battlefield sooner or later!"
Ying Gao pondered for a moment and nodded to Li Xin: "It's good to think of establishing a racecourse."
"In the future, the cavalry will be the home field. Although there are arms that can replace the cavalry, we may not be able to see them!"
"Because by that era, the pattern and methods of war will have undergone earth-shaking changes!"
