Li Zheng still has this kind of thought.

Wei Xiaobao was really moved in his heart.

But now is not the time to be a marquis.

Wei Xiaobao thought about it and smiled: "Your Majesty, when I return from Xichu, it will not be too late to be a marquis." ”

"That's it." Li Zheng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

If Wei Xiaobao can really set foot on Western Chu and turn Western Chu into the military horse field of Great Wei, even if Wei Xiaobao is crowned king, I believe that the people of the world will not have any objections.

……

Peony Palace.

Zhang Hatdie looked at a letter in his hand, his eyes were red and swollen.

All the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were dismissed by her, and she was the only one who sat in the palace and looked sad.

The letter came in from outside the palace.

"It's all failed, and I'm left alone." After a while, she wiped away her tears, got up and went to the candle flame, and burned the letter.

Watching the letter turn to ashes in the flames, her eyes shone with a different kind of luster.

"Your Majesty has arrived." At this moment, a eunuch outside shouted sharply.

Zhang Hatdie walked quickly to the door and fell softly into the arms of Li Zheng, who had just entered the door.

Li Zheng saw that her eyes were red and her body was weak, and he asked worriedly, "Butterfly, what's wrong with you?" Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor? ”

"No, with Your Majesty by my side, I will be cured of any illness." Zhang Hatdie squeezed out a forced smile, and looked pitiful.

Li Zheng helped her to sit on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched her forehead, which was as cold as ice.

These days, Zhang Hatdie helps to correct the folds, and he has to accompany him at night, so he must be tired.

Li Zheng thought and said: "Butterfly, let me tell you a good news, just now, Xiaobao promised me that he would use 50,000 troops to level Xichu and turn Xichu into a military horse farm of Great Wei, and in the future, my Great Wei will have endless war horses." ”

I believe that when Zhang Hatdie hears such good news, his dull mood will also improve, as the so-called people are in good spirits when they are happy.

Who knew that when Zhang Hatdie heard this, her eyebrows wrinkled even tighter.

Li Zheng was puzzled and asked, "Why are butterflies unhappy?" ”

"Your Majesty, please forgive the concubine for talking too much, Your Majesty is afraid it is inappropriate to use a eunuch so much." Zhang Hatdie has been familiar with history books since he was a child, and knows that there are many dynasties in history that have lost their country due to eunuch disasters and chaos.

Li Zheng grew up in the royal family, and Zidang knew better than she that reusing eunuchs would definitely do more harm than good.

Li Zheng smiled, turned to look out the window, and asked in a deep voice, "Butterfly also wants to say the same thing as those ministers?" ”

"It seems that there are still ministers in the DPRK and China who are clear-headed." Zhang hatdie was iron-hearted, and wanted to blow the wind in Li Zheng's ears.

Li Zheng frowned and was silent.

He knows more about the story of the eunuch disaster than Zhang Hatdie, but thinking back to the time he and Wei Xiaobao got acquainted with him all the way, everything Wei Xiaobao did was for his sake.

It can be said that if there was no Wei Xiaobao, there would be no him sitting on the dragon chair today.

Just said that recently, Wei Xiaobao's resolute actions in Kowloon City have captured the hearts of all the people in Kowloon City.

Although part of his body is mutilated, Wei Xiaobao's talent is undoubted, and he is definitely far superior to the hundreds of officials in the court.

"Xiao Zheng, are you angry?" Zhang Hatdie slowly got out of bed, hugged Li Zheng from behind, and touched Li Zheng's most sensitive place with a pair of soft soft wattles.

Li Zheng's breathing became rapid in an instant.

He turned around sharply, picked up Zhang Hatdie, and threw herself on the bed.

After some upheaval, Li Zheng lay flat on the bed, his face covered with beads of sweat.

Zhang Hatdie leaned up and gently wiped Li Zheng's sweat.

"Xiao Zheng, I said that, it is also for your good, Wei Xiaobao is indeed very capable, and he can be of great use, but Xiao Zheng, you can't obey him in everything, you must take precautions to sit back and relax." Zhang Hatdie continued the topic just now when Li Zheng was most relaxed.

Li Zheng reached out and pinched Zhang Hatdie's chin, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about butterflies, I know it in my heart." ”

Zhang Hatdie didn't dare to insist anymore, sometimes it was enough to point to the end, and talking too much would only backfire.

……

Li Zheng issued a holy decree, and Wei Xiaobao had to start preparing for the westward expedition.

There must be some kind of agreement between Xi Chu and Li Hao, as long as Xi Chu is destroyed, it will also be a strong reinforcement for Li Hao.

If the Western Expedition can be triumphant, the next step should be to let Li Hao taste the taste of cannons.

walked into the Dongchang Yamen, but saw Bai Muliang and Liu Shangwen standing on the edge of the martial arts field, watching the public soldiers practice martial arts.

Wei Xiaobao strode over and asked with a smile, "Why did the two adults come?" ”

"I've seen the Overseer." Hearing this, the two hurriedly turned around and saluted.

Liu Shangwen, the secretary of the military department, then said: "Governor, the first batch of recruits will get a total of 100,000 recruits, and in a few days, they will arrive in Chang'an." ”

Hearing that there were 100,000 recruits, Wei Xiaobao's eyes couldn't help but glow.

"Overseer, these 100,000 recruits have not yet been trained, and the Western Chu soldiers are strong and strong, and the Western Expedition may be ......" Bai Muliang was worried, but he didn't dare to say unlucky words.

Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "Pre-war training is indeed very important, but I think the battlefield is the best training ground." ”

Even if everyone shows good condition in the usual training, once they actually go to the battlefield, their mentality is very likely to collapse.

The cruelty on the battlefield can often stimulate people's survival potential, so that people can burst out with unprecedented strength.

Even so, regular training is essential.

Only this time, there is really no time to train recruits, so you can only let the battlefield hone them.

Fortunately, in Dillon's hands, there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers who can charge into battle and set an example for new recruits.

Wei Xiaobao had made up his mind, and Bai Muliang knew that it was useless to persuade him, and besides, the battle situation in the west was critical, and he really couldn't afford to delay any longer.

If Yunzhou City is lost again, the Western Chu army will be able to threaten the safety of Chang'an.

At this juncture, Wei Xiaobao dared to lead the recruits to the west to conquer Chu, and he was really a model for hundreds of officials in the DPRK.

No official would dare to act like this.

From a certain point of view, Wei Xiaobao's move can be regarded as blocking the thunder for hundreds of officials in the DPRK.

A few days later, recruits from all over the country gathered at Dingjunpo outside Chang'an City.

The armor and weapons in the inventory of the Ministry of War were carried out before they could arm the 100,000 Great Wei warriors.

Bai Muliang, Liu Shangwen and other officials of the DPRK and China accompanied Wei Xiaobao to Dingjunpo to accept the 100,000 soldiers.

Standing on the top of the slope, as far as the eye can see, it is all black.

Gun Gosen Cold.

Battle flags flying.

The big "Wei" character on the banner is particularly dazzling.

Four generals rode up to the top of the slope, dismounted at the same time, and bowed, "Meet the Overseer." ”

These four generals were selected from all over the world, and they were all good generals who had experienced a hundred battles.

But they were suppressed by corrupt officials, depressed, and difficult to show their ambitions.

After the secret agents of the East Factory discovered them, they immediately reported to them, and after Wei Xiaobao's review and approval, they were promoted to generals and trained new soldiers.

The ages of the four ranged from thirty to fifty, and their appearances were even more different, some were handsome and delicate, and some were rough and mighty.

Being able to select these four people from thousands of people, their abilities are undoubtedly very strong, but in addition to his ability, Wei Xiaobao values obedience the most.

Wei Xiaobao's cold gaze swept over the four of them, and ordered: "I will give you ten days to train new soldiers, and I don't ask for anything else, only that they can obey orders." ”
