The king of the Northland is a bounty.

Because of the surrender of the Western King Ting, he not only gave him the title of King of the North of Suharcha, but also did not deprive him of the right to join the army.

Because of the residual prestige left by the Western Royal Court, the King of the Northland gradually became more famous than the name of the Northern Protectorate, which made the imperial court's fear of the King of the Northland more and more greater.

This time, the king of the northern land, Suharcha, was injured, because of the erosion of the Dingxiang guard in the northern guard camp, and it was not without the credit of the northern capital protectorate.

Su Lu decided to conquer the northern land in person, not only to completely eradicate the troubled snow barbarians, but also to eliminate the influence of the Western Royal Court in the Tule steppe.

The moonlight was like water, and when Li Qing's car drove back to Miyagi, the moon was hanging in the eastern sky.

The palace is brightly lit, the inner guards are like facing a great enemy, and the female officials and maids are standing solemnly and on standby.

Li Qing looked at the gate of the dormitory and sighed:

"My daughter is gone, you have to leave too, do you have to leave me here alone?"

"Cao Hua, Su Ping, Li Kun, Zhao Wu, Wang Si, not to mention these fierce generals who can defend one side, let's just say that Lin Gang, Xie Ningyun, Yingyuan Sun Xiu, these young generals are enough to break this snow barbarian."

Li Qing was puzzled, why Su Lu insisted on going in person.

Su Lu shook his head and looked at the northern sky, the moon was tilting to the west, and the originally sparse stars in the sky began to beat, blinking and winking.

"Xue Man is not an ordinary rebellion, and the weather in the north is cold, if you send another general, I am afraid that it will be like a salary to fight the fire, and it will be useless."

"If this battle can't destroy the snow barbarians and raise the prestige of our Han country, I'm afraid that the northern Xinjiang will also be unstable."

Li Qingyan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and waved his hand to drive away the female official who was close to the left:

"Is the situation in northern Xinjiang already so serious?"

Su Lu nodded:

"The northern land is a difficult place for my Han army, and in the past, there were not many patrols by the army, and this time we must make a name for ourselves and deter the barbarians."

Li Qing pondered for a while, and said tentatively:

"Then it is better to send more sergeants and expand the patrol to the current border, so that the barbarians who are not my race understand where is the land they cannot set foot on."

"If the fist is big, they will always be afraid."

Su Lu shook his head:

"Although it is a way to increase the military strength, but the consumption is too great, not to mention the loss of money and food of the frontier army, but the transportation loss on the long snowy road can make Zhou Yuan cry poverty to you every day."

"The prestige of a great country does not depend on the national border, but on the invincible military formation, the invincible bloody battle, if it doesn't hurt them, how can they be afraid."

Li Qing sat on the chair when he heard this, and muttered for a long time, until the sky was bright, and he couldn't say anything to stop him.

On the morning of the second day, Dong Cheng, the secretary of the military department, played the game, and the king of the northern land was attacked by the snow barbarians, seriously injured and broke his arm, and the northern capital sent a letter for help, asking the imperial court to send troops to conquer the north.

The ministers who had already finished the military discussion immediately began to shout, and the household department shouted that most of the estimated expenses for this year had been spent, and that the thousand taels of silver needed for the Northern Expeditionary Army could not be fully raised, not to mention the grain, straw, and horses.

The Ministry of Industry even shouted that the stone track line and the official road had already used all the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and the creation of rotating weapons had already kept the Ordnance Office busy, and if it was a northern expedition, it would not be possible to complete the ordnance at all.

The rest of the tribes also said that it was not suitable for the northern expedition now.

Li Qing's face was gloomy, and he directly commanded:

"The Northern Expedition has been decided, Zhou Yuan, you raise silver taels, I don't want to listen to your explanation, I originally liked you, and now you are very disappointed by me."

Among the ministers, Zhou Yuan, who originally wanted to defend a few words, was immediately stunned, and after a moment of stunned, he lowered his head, saying that the ministers were guilty and would do their best for the court and the Han country.

Li Qing looked at the rest of the Ministry of Industry next to him:

"Yu Wei, the Ordnance Mansion is not under your control, and you interfere in the affairs of the Ordnance Mansion without authorization, and you have been working in the Ministry of Engineering for too long, and you want to move your position."

Yu Cheng knelt on the ground in fear and apologized again and again.

Li Qing ignored him, and instructed Dani, the chief general of the Ordnance Mansion, to say:

"I don't care what method the Ordnance Mansion uses, within half a month, I must raise all the weapons needed for the Northern Expedition, if there is any mistake, let the front-line soldiers lose their lives in vain because of the ordnance, I only ask."

Dani went out to receive orders and made a military order.

Because Li Qing's words revealed his dissatisfaction with the ministers competing for the position of cabinet ministers under the pretext of excuses, all the courtiers gave up their thoughts of fighting for power and profit, no longer dared to say anything, and thought about going back to behave well.

After retiring from the dynasty, the center of the Yanjing City court began to move.

Grain, grass, weapons, and horses began to flow in a steady stream of warehouses all over the suburbs of Beijing, sent to the capital of Beidaying, and the household department requisitioned the documents for grain and horses, and sent them to the state capitals like a tide, urging the state capitals to immediately start the conquest of the townsmen and the people, and prepare in advance for the northern expedition.

In order to make up for the huge gap in various conventional ordnance, Dani spent a lot of effort, asked people to lobby, and made various promises, and some ordnance was evenly distributed from the warehouses of the four battalions.

Finally, after ten days, all the ordnance was replenished.

At the same time, Dingxiangwei's intelligence system was launched, and all kinds of information were collected to the Beijing Central Committee, and all kinds of information from the Tule Grassland, the Barbarian Grassland, and the Rouran Grassland were all collected to the General Staff Office.

In this northern expedition, Su Lu was in command, with Yingyuan as the vanguard, Lin Gang as the governor of the left army, and Xie Ningyun as the governor of the right army, advancing in three ways.

On the twelfth day, Pingqi personally rushed back from the north and met Su Lu.

Su Lu was in the military department, and when he met Pingqi, the generals from all walks of life were there, and when they saw Pingqi, all the generals took a break.

Ping Qi presented an excerpt, and his face was irrepressible joy:

"Lord Wang, great news, this is a surrender document from the Snowy Barbarian Clan, and the Governor of Zhang Lu received the document and ordered me to send it first."

Su Lu's expression was stunned, surrender documents?

The generals in the hall were all stunned, and as soon as they discussed the start of the battle, Xue Man's surrender document came, which was also too fast.

Su Lu unfolded the document and looked at it, it was all foreign words, and he couldn't understand it, so he asked casually and said:

"Tell me, why?"

Ping Qi smiled and said:

"The specific process has not yet been investigated, but after Yang Yi arrived in the north, he cleaned up those meticulous spies who were eaten by both parties, and excavated a few talents from them, and after some operations, he actually frightened Xue Man."

"Yang Yi asked me for an order at the time, saying that he could get some barbarians from the barbarians in the Western Regions, maybe he could get Dingxue Barbarians, and it just so happened that in the northern army, there were several soldiers from Rouran background, who were quite familiar with the words of the barbarians."

"Yang Yi devised some strategies, which frightened Xue Man, and the surrender document came."

Xie Ningyun sneered and asked:

"I don't know what kind of trap General Yang Yi designed, and he actually scared Xue Man, who could almost force the king of the North to death?"
