After all the purposes were completed, Qin Zhao did not stay in Wuzhou for a long time and returned to the capital directly.

Yan Qingming also accompanied him this time, and he had to complete the sealing ceremony in the capital before he could officially start the army.

Qin Xuan was temporarily left here by him and began to build [Dianjiangtai]. After she finishes, she will be escorted back to Beijing by 10,000 Xuanjia soldiers.

This thing has been open for a long time, but it has never been built.

According to Qin Xuan, this thing is not complicated, it will not take too long, and it will almost be done in half a month.

At that time, after getting the Tiger Talisman, in addition to the [Dianjiangtai], there were also two kinds of luck collections, [On Military Strategy] and [Weapon Spectrum].

[Point Jiangtai - when you go to the sky, you have the right place to go down, watch the changes of the enemy, and the last can be the first. Luck required for exchange: 1000]

[On military strategy - soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked.] It can summarize the detailed status of all officers and soldiers under his command. Luck required for exchange: 1000]

[Weapon spectrum - if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.] Based on the existing technology, the most suitable direction of development of attack weapons is deduced. Luck required for exchange: 2000]

Among them, [Weapon Spectrum] he plans to build in the Ministry of Engineering in the future.

As for the [On Military Strategy], it is similar to the existence of the [Great Xia Emperor List], which can be viewed directly.

But to be honest, the latter is of little use to him.

Now that there is no shortage of generals in Great Xia, there is no need for him to drive in person.

If the [Discussion of Military Strategy] can be used by the commander-in-chief, then this thing can be called of strategic significance.

It's a pity that it can only be viewed by himself, and the practicality is far behind. At present, it can also be used as a tool to check the strength level of the current Terran soldiers.

But with the strength of his divine soul at this time and the divine power of his eyes, even if he doesn't have this thing, he can see the state of the soldier clearly.

......

A few days later, Qin Zhao, who returned to Yangcheng, did not delay, and directly convened a temporary court meeting to discuss the expedition.

Soldiers, the country's major affairs.

Where there is a war, it is not easy to make decisions.

Tactics, logistics, troops, and other aspects must be taken into account. There are also candidates for generals, chief generals and deputy generals, etc., which need to be further discussed.

Even he can't just pat his head and order the troops.

Especially now that the "Dragon and Tiger List" has just been established, I am afraid that this time there will be a game on the top.

However, Qin Zhao didn't care about this.

Except for the main general Yan Qingming, other positions can be appropriately given up.

After all, he also has to give others the opportunity to make meritorious contributions - although he is not optimistic about what other people can do well.

Sure enough, today's court discussion was not as Qin Zhao expected.

Regarding his decision to take Yan Qingming as the head coach, many people are obviously not convinced.

"If you have any candidates for generals, you might as well speak freely."

First, he stopped Yan Qingming, who was unconvinced with his eyes and was about to speak, and then said calmly.

It's normal to want to make meritorious contributions, but if you don't even have this pursuit, what kind of general is it.

Yan Qingming was also in the Qilin Hall at this time, standing behind Yan Qingjun, the governor of the capital, ranking second among the generals.

With Qin Zhao's questioning, someone quickly came out of the queue and asked for orders: "The last general is willing to go and lead the troops to fight against the White Feather Alien Race!" ”

At this time, the person who took the initiative to ask for help was Liu Xian, the former general of Great Xia.

Liu Xian was stationed on the border of Shuangzhou before, and he did not live in the capital for a long time, so naturally he did not have to participate in the court discussion.

However, as the matter of the Sanshou clan passed, and now that Shuangzhou is stable, Bai Xu went to Shuangzhou to lead the troops, and he returned to the capital.

Nowadays, except for Liu Xian, the position of the right general is vacant, Nan Jia has taken the post of left general and is stationed at the western border of Great Xia, while Li Ping is stationed in the south and serves as a general.

As one of the highest-ranking generals, it is understandable that he wanted to participate in the war.

However, Qin Zhao had other arrangements for him.

"General Liu, wait a minute. This time the Baiyu alien race is dispatched, and those alien races north of Frost Prefecture may not be settled, and you need to go to contain it. Then I will credit you. ”

He said unhurriedly.

The other ministers nodded when they heard this, this arrangement couldn't be more reasonable.

As the most fertile country in this land, Bactria has a superior geographical location, a suitable climate, and fertile soil. Although there have been occasional disasters in the past, it is not much stronger than other places.

But because of this, the surrounding alien races are eyeing this place, and it is a real place of four wars.

The weather in the north is bitter and cold, which is not suitable for farming, and the production and living materials are even more scarce. Although there is no shortage of fights between those alien races, they will always be in the same breath when it comes to the Terrans.

After all, the contradictions and conflicts between them come more from small frictions on the border, and dealing with the Terrans is for survival, and the meaning is completely different.

Even if the relationship between them is not difficult for one side to support from all sides, it is that the human race will never be soft when it falls into the ground.

After hearing Qin Zhao's explanation, although Liu Xian was a little unwilling, he couldn't say anything after all, so he had to retreat.

However, Liu Xian is not the only one who has ideas at this time.

Bai Mu, the secretary of the military department, stood up.

Qin Zhao had already greeted him about the crusade against foreign races before, so he naturally knew about it.

But he never thought that in such an important war, the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, the emperor would choose a child who had just turned eighteen.

This made him both puzzled and a little worried.

changed his previous taciturn style in the court, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, even if the general is a genius, he is too young after all. It is better to accumulate some experience first, cultivate more observations, and then lead the troops to the battle. ”

The implication is that it is not suitable for Yan Qingming to be the coach this time.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please think again! The general is only eighteen years old now, and he has only one combat experience, and he was still near my Great Xia territory at that time, so he had no worries and no need to go deep into the opponent's territory. Since the troops are sent to counterattack this time, they will inevitably go deep into the hinterland of the White Feather Clan, and there will inevitably be accidents. ”

Most of the other civilian and military generals nodded in agreement. They also felt that Yan Qingming was too young to take on this big responsibility.

However, unlike Bai Mu, in addition to worrying about Yan Qingming's own ability, many officials were also a little dissatisfied with the Yan family's current prestige.

Bai Mu was not unaware of this, but he didn't care much about it.

The Bai family is also a family of military generals, with a prominent reputation. Now he has six official residences and stands at the top of the court. No matter how strong the Yan family is, it can't be bullied on his head.

Moreover, even if Yan Qingming does not become the coach this time, it will not be the turn of the Bai family.

My family knows what to do with my family. Although the Bai family's generation has a few materials that can be made, it cannot reach the point of being a commander of hundreds of thousands of marches.

Therefore, the starting point of his remarks just now is entirely based on an objective position.

Others are more complicated. Even secretly slandered in his heart, His Majesty inevitably loves the people of the Yan family too much.

Yan Qingming is just young, and it is needless to say that he took over the position of general. Now that he has been appointed again, it is a bit excessive.

Of course, the root cause is because these people don't think that Yan Qingming can succeed. Wouldn't it be a great sin to waste manpower and material resources in the end?

In the past, the one who had the most conflicts with the Terrans was the White Feather Alien Race, and the opponent's combat power was definitely not much worse than that of the Terrans.

Although it does not have the blessing of the military formation, because of the characteristics of the race and the ability to control alien beasts, this race moves extremely quickly when it goes into battle.

The reason why they repeatedly invaded the border was also because they came and went like the wind, which made people very helpless.

If defense is too passive to deal with, offense is just as difficult.

To the north of Wuzhou in Great Xia, except for the grassland, it is a desert, and there are few road signs. Even those veterans who go out on the expedition may not be able to accurately identify the path, let alone a child who is less than twenty years old.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the court, but the basic meaning of the expression was: Yan Qingming is too young to do it.

In this process, Yan Qingjun, as the governor of the capital, never spoke. Her identity is awkward and not suitable for discussion.

Qin Zhao watched for a moment, and was about to say a few more words, when he saw Yan Qingming suddenly walk out of the queue and said-

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to make a military order! If it can't be done this time, I will resign from the post of general! ”

At the same time, he looked at the other officials defiantly, wanting to see what else these people had to say.

But it seems to be really useful.

As soon as the words "military order" came out, the court suddenly fell silent, and everyone fell silent.

......Seeing this scene, Qin Zhao was a little speechless in his heart.

He didn't want Yan Qingming to talk more at first, because he was worried that this guy was young and vigorous and couldn't stand the contempt.

As a result, I didn't pay attention to it all of a sudden, but I still didn't stop it.

He found out that Yan Qingming was really a pure general. If you are an official in the DPRK, it is estimated that it will not take half a year to offend everyone.

"Yan Qingming! Is it your turn to speak?! You go down first. Qin Zhao glared at him, then coughed lightly and looked at Bai Mu, "Is there anyone recommended by the military department?" ”

Bai Mu turned a blind eye to Yan Qingming's provocative eyes, and replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the rear general Li Ping is a veteran general on the battlefield, and he has also fought with foreign races in the western part of Great Xia before, so he must be able to lead troops to fight. In addition, Xu Lang, the general of the cavalry, can be a deputy general. ”

Qin Zhao nodded when he heard this, "It's okay." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Yan Qingming's anxious expression, and he wanted to say something but was stopped by Yan Qingjun.

He smiled and continued, "This battle is divided into three ways. The Metropolitan Governor sat in the rear, leading the battle situation, and Yan Qingming and Li Ping led the 150,000 Xuanjia Army respectively. Gather at Fengyang Mountain outside the Guan, and then directly hit the royal court of the White Feather Clan. ”

Fengyang Mountain is about 500 miles away from the border of Great Xia, and it is an important territory of the White Feather Tribe, and several White Feather tribes have to pass through on the way.

These White Feather tribes are the bridgehead of the Moon Banner Country's defensive circle, similar to the significance of Wuzhou to Great Xia.

Having them assemble at Fengyang Mountain meant that in the early stages of the battle, both of them had to penetrate each other's large number of troops before they had a chance to successfully join forces in the end.

And such a division of troops is also conducive to dispersing the opponent's defensive line, which is not a bad thing.

"The last general commands!" Hearing this, Yan Qingming was immediately overjoyed and came out to receive the order.

Bai Mu glanced at him, didn't say anything more, nodded and retreated into the queue.

When the others saw this, they didn't say much, but just muttered to themselves.

"But it's just because of a good background."

"It's a pity, it's a good seedling, so what's the point of waiting a few years? In the end, he is a young man, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions. ”

"Why don't you let the Metropolitan Governor directly lead the troops to the battle? Your Majesty may have made the wrong choice this time......"

"It's up to Li Ping to see if he can do it."

"Although General Li has never fought against the White Feather Clan, after all, he has been stationed at the western border all year round and is also guarding against foreign tribes. Experienced, nothing was a problem to think about. ”

Until now, most people still think that Yan Qingming is just the light of his birth.

Otherwise, in such an important war, where will it be his turn?

But, on the other hand. With this defeat, the prestige of the Yan family will inevitably fall to the bottom.

However, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, even the most selfish officials can hardly be happy.

......

As the matter of sending troops to the White Feather Clan was finalized, preparations in all aspects were quickly launched.

Countless grains, grasses, and military supplies began to be transported to the border with the leyline rail car.

At the same time, other deputy general candidates are also being implemented rapidly.

Qin Zhao himself was full of confidence in this battle, so he did not hide the news in this regard, and a series of discussions among the people followed.

In particular, Emperor Xia's choice of eighteen-year-old Yan Qingming as the coach this time is really surprising and unbelievable.

Except for a very small number of people who praise Emperor Xia for daring to employ people, thinking that Yan Qingming is a heroic young man, after a famous family.

Most of the voices are still not optimistic.

And this series of riots did not completely affect Yan Qingming's mentality.

Seeing his solemn appearance, Qin Zhao knew that he was actually still a little nervous.

"What? On the Qilin Palace, they all dare to make a military order. When things come to an end, there are still gains and losses. Qin Zhao glanced at Yan Qingming, who had entered the palace to find him, and asked casually.

"Not really, I've long seen those aliens unpleasant. I must take this opportunity to kill him. ”

"Okay, it's good to have this heart. If you want people to shut up, just play your grades and don't live up to my trust. "Remember, it doesn't matter what others say, I say you can do it, you can do it!" ”

Soon, news came out that Yan Qingming, the commander of the expedition, was ready to send troops directly from Guan Ancheng, Wuzhou.

......

Half a month later, a series of storms in Daxia gradually subsided.

At the same time, the White Feather Royal Court of the Moon Banner Country also learned the news that the Terrans were preparing to send troops to attack them.

At this time, in the big tent of the White Feather Royal Court, in addition to the Feather Emperor, the leaders of the various tribes also basically gathered here.

The appearance of the White Feather Clan is actually similar to that of the Terrans, but the difference is that some parts of the body are covered with feathers. The name of the White Feather Clan also comes from this.

However, despite the name "White Feather Clan", not all White Feather Clan people have white feathers on their bodies. Only the people of the royal family grow white feathers.

Ordinary people are still mainly gray and black.

This alien race is naturally friendly to the wind spirit, and can control the power of the wind to a certain extent.

It is also thanks to this that they have a speed that the Terrans cannot reach.

In addition, the White Feather Clan has a high affinity with the alien beasts "White Scale Eagle" that grows in the north, and can communicate with these alien beasts to a certain extent.

Whether it is used to detect intelligence or control attacks, it has a unique advantage.

It is worth mentioning that the White Feather Clan also has its own written language, which is rare for other races.

At least among the alien races around Great Xia, only the White Feather Clan has a relatively mature writing and language system.

Although it is still far from the human race, it is far better than the Sanshou clan and the Wuxian clan.

This is probably the reason why they were able to form a kingdom-like order system.

In the big tent, the tall Yu Huang is sitting at the top.

This supreme ruler of the White Feather Clan, his face is as white as snow, and his entire head is covered with layers of white feathers - it is not in line with the aesthetics of the human race, and even makes people's scalp numb at a glance, and their hearts are sick to their stomachs.

But in the eyes of their own people, this appearance is majestic and extraordinary.

I heard him ask, "Are you sure?" This time, their Terran led the troops with an eighteen-year-old hairy boy?? ”

There was a hint of wonder in his voice.

"King, the news is true, this person's name is Yan Qingming, and he only led his troops into battle for the first time last year."

"Yan Qingming? What is his relationship with that Yan Qingjun? ”

"It seems to be a brother and sister......"

The other White Feather Clansmen also discussed, their expressions relaxed and calm, and they didn't take this young general seriously in the slightest.

"Emperor Xia is crazy, right?" Hearing his subordinates' answer, Yu Huang sneered, very disdainful, "But that's right." Today, Emperor Xia himself is not very old, and it is normal to use some faint tricks. ”

"King, in addition to this person, there is also Li Ping, who is also the main general."

"Li Ping?" Hearing this, Emperor Yu pondered for a moment, "I don't have much of an impression on this name. ”

"I heard that he led troops elsewhere before, he is not young, and he is a veteran."

"Okay, then target him more. Hey, if the Terrans are cowering in the territory, with that wall and natural danger, we won't be able to deal with it. Dare to enter the grassland? Let him come and die as much as he wants! ”

"The waste of the Sanshou clan, the cowhide blew loudly, and as a result, there was no return, so that the family was completely destroyed. This time, after we also destroy these armies, we can go to the territory of the human race to plunder. ”

"Wait......" Another voice sounded, with a mocking tone in it, looking at the two opposites.

said with a smile: "King Chaolan, King Muyang, it seems that the one who pierced the hundreds of thousands of troops under your hands last time was this teenage child, right?" I heard that tens of thousands of people were killed. Haha......"

"Oh? And what's going on? It is worthy of the two major wastes of our Moon Banner Royal Court. ”

"Hahaha......"

"Fart! Last time it was just an accident, you know what! I was just ......"

King Muyang's eyes widened, and he defended inarticulately.

All of a sudden, there was chaos in the tent.

However, this seems to have become the norm, and the feather emperor himself smiled and watched his subordinates arguing.

"By the way, I heard that Yan Qingming is going to send troops directly from Guan'an City, so let's have a hard time with him."

Emperor Yu looked at the leaders of the tribes under his eyes, "Which of you wants to go this time?" ”

"I'll go, my lord. Just avenged the last time with one arrow. The King of Mixed Orchids shouted loudly.

In addition to him, several others also responded.

His expression was relaxed, as if this trip was not to go to the battlefield, but to get up and harvest grain.
