After annihilating most of the barbarians, Su Lu unified the army and gathered troops in Yongtai.
On that day, 17,000 soldiers under his command were deployed inside and outside Yongtai City, making a huge noise.
In the Chinese army tent, there were many generals. Xiao Cong, who went to Anton to select troops, and Xie Wan, who went to Anxi to select troops, were also among them.
Su Lu sat behind the commander's desk and said: "Our army is small, Wuyuan is to the west, and the barbarians are strong. If we rush forward rashly, this battle will be impossible to fight. Let all the generals talk about it and see what strategies they have."
.”
Cao Hua took the lead and said: "Commander Commander, although our army is small, it is an old army. With four thousand, we can defeat ten thousand barbarians. If we open the way for my four thousand army, the blood of the barbarians we are sure to kill will eventually flow into rivers."
Su Lu waved his hand and motioned for Cao Hua to sit down. You are so brave. It is very difficult for me as a master to handle it. How can I explain it to your old lady when I go back?
Wang Si twisted his neck. Ever since he injured his neck, he had left behind sequelae. He always felt like there was still a wound on his neck.
"The general thought that since we entered Qin, we might as well recruit troops on the spot. Anyway, if the Qin people don't die, their hatred for the barbarians will definitely not be enough to vent their anger by killing them all."
Hua Xun was also shouting next to him: "The general also agrees with Wang Si. The old Qin people have always been tough. If we really fight, our Han army will be worse than the old Qin army."
Qian Buzhou next to him sneered: "That was in the past. After the commander-in-chief took charge of the army, who would dare to say that our Han army is not as good as the Qin army."
Kang Mazi chuckled beside him: "This is true. The soldiers under Lao Qian's command are much stronger than those under my command. Anyone dared to bully us before, but who dares to do so now?"
Next to him, Xiao Cong stroked his beard and said: "Okay, okay, this is the Chinese army's tent, not a tavern and vegetable market. I think it can be used by Qin people, and Qin people who have fled from Qin and entered our Han country can be used."
When Xie Wan selected troops in Anxi, he also agreed and said: "The generals are right, the Qin people can use it. This time I supervised the transportation of grain and grass, and most of it was used by the Qin people. They knew that these were transported by the soldiers to kill the barbarians."
Everyone strives for food and grass, and the old, weak, women and children refuse to lag behind."
"The people of Qin can use it."
Su Lu nodded. The Han Kingdom would definitely be able to recruit another wave of sergeants. However, due to the continuous wars, there were already more women than men in the Han Territory. There were very few strong men who could stay in the country. If they recruited more soldiers, it would be a big blow to the Han Kingdom.
It just hurts my muscles and bones.
"Okay, I will follow your orders and report to the Ministry of War, raise the flag and recruit troops."
The generals dispersed, leaving Xiao Cong and Xie Wan behind.
Xie Wan was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, in these successive battles, I feel deeply powerless. The southern border is very different from the northern border that I am familiar with. To unite the army here, what I will do is only
It will bring trouble to the prince."
Saying this, Xie Wan stood up and spoke: "General Mo, please give me your permission. General Rong Mo will return to the north to guard Tianlan City."
Su Lu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Wan: "Guarding Tianlan City?"
"General Xie, you have guarded Tianlan City for many years, and your forces are deeply entrenched in the north. Do you know what the imperial court thinks of you, and what do the princes of the three provinces think of you?"
Xie Wan's face turned pale: "General, I haven't thought about it."
Xiao Cong, who was standing next to him, spoke in a conciliatory manner: "Thank you, general. Don't worry. In the past, we were the main generals in charge of the army. Now with the prince here, even if we are not familiar with the fighting methods, we can still be invincible against Qin."
Xie Wan still refused and said: "I understand General Xiao's good intentions, but after many years in the army, I am tired. Tianlan City is my home after all, Xie Wan. Although the job of guarding Tianlan City is not noble, it can be done every day.
When you go home, you will eventually be willing to sacrifice these things."
Su Lu nodded: "Okay, since you have decided to go, I won't say more."
"There are many things happening in the North. Su Ping's attack is more than enough, but guarding the North is not as good as you. After you return to Tianlan City, you will continue to take on the task of guarding the North."
"All the four kings' courts in today's grassland are convinced, but except for the bony protrusions in the south king's court, the rest are not trustworthy. They can be used, but they must be guarded against."
"There is Rouran to the west of the Western Royal Court, and the tribe is powerful. You have to find a way to encourage internal conflict between the four royal courts and Rouran, and you must not let Rouran show up again."
Xie Wan bowed and held her fists almost at the level of her head.
"The last general understands that the last general will live up to the prince's trust. Even if he dies, he will ensure peace in the north."
Xiao Cong next to him laughed: "General Xie, you are talking nonsense. With these strategies set by the prince, you only need to follow them to ensure peace in the north."
After Xie Wan left, Su Lu looked at Xie Wan's back and asked Xiao Cong.
"Old Xiao, you are also an old general. If you have any requests, please make them immediately. When I assign the duties, you can make them again. Don't blame me, Su Lu, for turning your back on me."
Xiao Cong geared up and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there are dozens of people in the general's family waiting for me, Old Xiao, to make money and go back to eat. How could I back down?"
"Your Majesty, even if you assign duties, if you back down, I, Xiao Cong, will lose."
Su Lu nodded and continued to look at the defense map.
After Xiao Cong went out, he was stopped by Cao Hua. Under the gaze of a group of crimson-robed generals, Xiao Cong shook his head.
"Your Majesty has approved it and agrees that General Xie will take the place of General Su Ping and lead the army and horses in the North to guard Tianlan City."
Cao Hua was anxious: "How can this be done? With the commander-in-chief commanding the army, we will soon expand our territory and make achievements. How can General Xie leave at such a good time? I'm going to see the prince."
Next to him, Huo Ze grabbed Cao Hua and prevented her from entering the tent.
Xiao Cong stared, the general's power was scattered, he looked around, his tone was stern.
"Why, after each and every one of them has won several battles, they are so arrogant and lawless that they become the boss of God and the second boss of the earth and you are the third boss?"
"I tell you the truth, it doesn't matter what you say whether General Xie should leave or not. Your Majesty will not force General Xie. General Xie will go to guard Tianlan City and go home to look after his husband and raise his children. Do you think you are helping General Xie?"
No, you are harming her."
"General Xie has been married for many years, and has spent less and less time with his family. This time he returned to Zhentianlan City, giving up his achievements in exchange for a comfortable life. One day, you will also have such thoughts."
Next to him, Hua Xun chuckled and said, "Who wouldn't want to have a hot bed with my wife and children?"
Qian Buzhou waved his arms and said: "It's over, it's over. Since the prince has decided, let's just listen. We have old things with General Xie. Let's have a wine and banquet to see off General Xie."
Zhao Wu rolled his eyes, took Qian Buzhou's arm and walked out.
"I remember that Her Royal Highness the Princess was in your army, Lao Qian. The Bird Soldiers used the most spirits, so you, Lao Qian, didn't hold back any of them."
Qian Buzhou was dragged away by Zhao Wu, but he refused in an old-fashioned manner.
"Fart, those spirits are for cleaning the wounds of the sick and wounded, and for cleaning birds. Although I am a good drinker, am I the one who can withhold them!"
"I saw a jar of strong liquor in your camp last time, and it had the seal of Asuka Camp on it."
"Ahem, let's do this. Farewell to General Xie. I'll take care of the wine. Let's take a look. If you want anything to eat, it's up to you to take care of it."
