Emperor Xu also frowned at this time and said, "Chen Aiqing, are you sure that you are not wrong, only 20,000 horses?" ”

Chen Le hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not wrong, it is true that only 20,000 horses are needed, this is not to line up troops and fight with the other party, but to raid the past, open the blockade of the Qin army, and enter the Western Regions, so it is not suitable for more people, and the logistics and baggage can't keep up!" ”

"So, 20,000 horses is really enough?" Xu Huang has always been proficient in everything from Xuwen Taowu, and he vaguely felt in his heart that Chen Le's words seemed to be a little unreliable.

Chen Le said at this time: "Your Majesty, it's enough, but I don't want infantry for 20,000 horses, just light cavalry, 20,000 pure light cavalry!" ”

Emperor Xu still frowned when he heard this: "Chen Aiqing, that seems to be a little less, the land between my Great Xu and the Western Regions Protectorate is very vast, and the Marquis of Qin has stationed at least 200,000 troops there, are you sure that there are only 20,000 horses?" ”

The corners of Chen Le's mouth twitched when he heard this, it turned out that Emperor Xu thought that he wanted fewer people, but it was useless to ask for more, he was a surprise attack, and he didn't lead his troops to fight, as long as he fought over, and he didn't attack the city and plundered the land, what did he want so many soldiers for!

"Your Majesty, 20,000 light horsemen are enough, but 20,000 light horsemen need to be selected by the ministers themselves!" Chen Le said in a firm tone.

As soon as he said this, the generals suddenly whispered again, although there are not many 20,000 people, but they are all cavalry, no one thinks that Chen Le's seemingly whimsical raid will be successful, and no one wants to give his men and horses to Chen Le for nothing, let him take him to death.

"Oh, you pick it yourself?" Xu Huang showed an interested gaze and said, "Tell me, which way do you want to choose in my Daxu?" ”

Chen Le glanced at the military general next to him, and then at the imperial lieutenant who had his eyes slightly closed, and said with a smile: "As General Yulin, the minister is in charge of the 50,000 forbidden army in Nancheng, and the minister doesn't want to rob the soldiers and horses under other adults, as long as he chooses 20,000 people among the 50,000 forbidden army!" ”

"Forbidden Army? You actually chose the Forbidden Army? Emperor Xu was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Chen Le to make such a request, to be honest, although the name of the forbidden army sounds beautiful, but the real combat effectiveness may not be as strong as those conventional armies, not to mention that most of the forbidden army are the children of the capital, although there are not many rich and noble children in the forbidden army in the southern city, but even the children of poor families are not willing to follow Chen Le to the battlefield, right? After all, when the forbidden army was recruited, they did not have the responsibility to go out to fight, and their obligation was to guard Gyeonggi!

"Your Majesty, General Chen's move is not allowed, the forbidden army is a guard army, and it must not be transferred out of the capital!" One of the generals stood up to speak, and it was the general of Wuwei who was on the same level as Chen Le.

Emperor Xu didn't speak, Chen Le sneered and said: "General Wuwei, leading the troops to fight should be flexible and changeable, and they can't be rigid, if the 20,000 people of the Nancheng Forbidden Army are willing to leave the capital with Chen, why not fight for the country?" Otherwise, Chen chose 20,000 horses under your command, what do you think? ”

General Wuwei's face immediately changed when he heard this, and he stopped talking, this Chen Qingzhi does not play cards according to common sense, and it is directly the threat of Chi Guoguo, choosing 20,000 horses under his command? You are so beautiful, even if the emperor agrees, this general will not obey you!

Looking at General Wuwei's face, Emperor Xu sighed in his heart, of course he knew what General Wuwei thought, but Chen Qingzhi wanted to fight on the battlefield, but you were still there with your own little calculations, which was a little unauthentic.

Originally, Emperor Xu didn't plan to let the forbidden army out of the city, because once Chen Le's trip failed, then the 20,000 forbidden army would be completely broken, but if Chen Le won, the 20,000 forbidden army would become his team, which is also what Emperor Xu didn't want to see, after all, the forbidden army and no matter what the combat effectiveness was, the equipment was first-class, and the money spent to arm the 20,000 forbidden army was an astronomical amount, and this move was equivalent to Chen Le directly asking him for soldiers, not to transfer the soldiers and horses under other generals, but to transfer the soldiers and horses directly under the emperor's government!

Emperor Xu was still silent, and at this time, the imperial lieutenant suddenly stood up: "The old minister thinks that Chen Qingzhi's fist has the heart of serving the country, which is a sigh, but it is not advisable to draw the forbidden army to go to battle!" ”

Taiwei's words were very polite, and Chen Le couldn't directly scold him, after all, as one of the three dukes, whether it was prestige or power, he was still second to none in the court.

"Chen Aiqing, as you said, how sure is this trip?" Emperor Xu finally asked this question at this time, even if Chen Le bragged, he wanted to hear this answer.

Chen Le smiled slightly when he heard this: "Your Majesty, in fact, just now the minister said that the coffin was carried into battle, and the horse leather shroud is really a bit serious, but it is really difficult for the minister to show the loyalty of the minister if he doesn't say so...... I am 100% sure! ”

What the? 100% sure? The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty booed.

Bragging, this thing is bragging, even if you brag and don't pay taxes, you can't brag like this, this is simply shameless, this is shameless, this is the rhythm of blowing the sky!

Emperor Xu's face sank and said, "Chen Aiqing, are you joking with me!" ”

Chen Le said: "Your Majesty, the minister is very confident, this trip will definitely not fail, and the minister will never lie at all!" ”

Emperor Xu looked at him for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Chen Aiqing, I hope you don't talk about it!" ”

Chen Le said: "How dare the minister open his mouth, the minister has a big heart, and there is no lie!" ”

"Good!" A peculiar expression appeared on Emperor Xu's face, a little crazy and a little relieved: "Chen Aiqing, I will allow you to play!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is determined to go to the soup for a great time, and he will not give up!" Chen Le said hurriedly.

Emperor Xu Qiangang was arbitrary, and the civil and military forces on both sides were silent, and no one wanted to wade into this troubled water.

"Chen Aiqing listens to the seal!" Xu Huang said suddenly.

"The minister is here!" Chen Le said loudly, curious in his heart why Emperor Xu wanted to seal his own official? It stands to reason that he has only been in the office for two years, and his official position at this moment is already unsealable, I don't know what kind of official Emperor Qiyuan can seal himself?

"Feng Chen Le'an is the envoy of the Western Festival, and he will command all military and political affairs in the six western states and the Western Regions!" Xu Huang said slowly.

Anxi Jiedu envoy, from the official position of a product, the power is monstrous, and he is a very popular minister, but unfortunately this is a false title!

Of the six western states, five states are under the jurisdiction of Qin, one state is under the jurisdiction of Chu, and the Western Regions are barely under Daxu except for the Western Regions Protectorate, and the rest of the places are the territories of Hunu and the small states, but unfortunately the only Western Regions Protectorate is not yet in contact.

However, although this Anxi Jiedu envoy is a fictitious title, but it has a great impact, even the civil and military officials can't help but stir when they hear this, and the founding of the country for five hundred years, although the official position of the Jiedu envoy has not been abolished, but it has not been sealed for at least sixty years, even if it is a fictitious title, the reason is that the official position of the Jiedu is too great!
