Chapter 18: Questioning

Xu Jing was puzzled when he heard that his biggest reliance had not been able to fully arrive at all.

It stands to reason that this army has always been in the dark and has not leaked at all.

Except for the emperor, there was no one to restrain them.

"What the hell is going on?"

Xu Jing asked Jiang Wujian in a deep voice.

"Over the years, the Great Snow Dragoon has always traveled outside the territory, although it can train a large number of soldiers in a hundred battles, but the number of people is not a few."

"The original army of nearly 50,000 people is now less than 20,000 left, and there are nearly four or five thousand aliens among them."

Jiang Wujian replied with a guilty face.

When the first emperor was alive, the order given to him was to build these 50,000 snow dragoons into a division of a hundred battles.

didn't say that he was allowed to consume this last killing weapon responsible for maintaining the emperor's authority to even half of it.

"Uncle Jiang, can you tell me more about the exploits of the Great Snow Dragon Rider in the past few years?"

Hearing what Jiang Wujian said, Xu Jing was not angry but happy and asked for details again and again.

When it comes to military exploits, Jiang Wujian is very confident, he believes that this big snow dragon horse built by him can be called the first iron horse in the world!

Even if it is a foreign cavalry that has galloped on the grassland since childhood, it is far from being the opponent of the Great Snow Dragoon.

Jiang Wujian said aloud about the military exploits of the Great Snow Dragon Rider over the years: "The Great Snow Dragon rode on the grassland to chase the enemy for nearly 10,000 miles, exterminated the three foreign royal tribes, killed a total of 30 scouts, and blocked 70,000 cavalry ........"

That string of military exploits made Lin Changhai on one side couldn't help but marvel.

If such a terrible military feat is allowed by other big cadres and other armies, I am afraid that it will be enough to achieve it by asking for 200,000 or even more!

And Jiang Wujian was able to take these unimaginable military exploits in his hands with only the 50,000 snow dragon horsemen who fought less and less, and he was worthy of his name as a first-class general.

"The last general is incompetent and has failed to expand his military exploits."

After saying this, Jiang Wujian was not arrogant, but a little ashamed.

At the age of twenty, he had achieved even more military feats like this.

The Great Snow Dragoon is still limited by the fact that there are wolves in front of him and no supply support in the back, so they can only protect themselves in the cracks.

"Uncle Jiang, if I can give the Great Snow Dragon Rider enough resources and people, how far do you think the Great Snow Dragon Rider can develop?"

After listening to Jiang Wuji's answer, Xu Jing frowned slightly and asked.

For Xu Jing, the big snow dragon ride is the only hole card he has now.

It is the only opponent against the vassal kings in various places and the Xiao family's army stationed in various places.

The stronger this snow dragon is, the more powerful Xiao Daoling and the vassal king hiding in the shadows dare not do it at will.

What happened today will not be repeated.

"One hundred thousand! At least 100,000! If Your Majesty can ensure supplies, the minister is fully sure that he can make the Great Snow Dragoon a hundred battle king division comparable to the ordinary army of 200,000! ”

Jiang Wujian returned to Beijing to report on his work this time, thinking that he would be harassed by Xu Jing.

He even forcibly took back the military power in his hands.

But he couldn't imagine that Xu Jing was completely different from the rumored unlearned and addicted to wine, and even more like a male lord than the first emperor!

"Okay, get the map!"

Xu Jing was overjoyed, and said openly to Cao Gong on the side.

"Your Majesty, the minister will retire."

Lin Changhai knew that everything he heard and heard now was taboo in the dynasty, and the next content was even more in contact with the core of the dynasty.

Even if Lin Changhe is a great Qianshang Shuling, he is Xu Jing's uncle.

But he didn't dare to stay here too long, lest he be questioned by his own nephew, who was resolute in killing.

Xu Jing smiled: "Uncle, you are the only help I have in the court, so this matter is naturally audible." ”

Lin Changhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and nodded back: "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, the minister will do his best to assist Your Majesty." ”

Soon, Gonggong Cao took a map made of sheepskin and spread it out in front of the three of them.

"I wonder how sure Uncle Jiang is of taking this land?"

Xu Jing pointed to a pass on the map, which was located on the trade road.

It was a small city, but it was more than 3,000 miles away.

Once this place can be taken, not only will the Great Snow Dragoon not have to worry about resting places, but it will also have an additional resting place on the trade road.

In the past, it was actually very difficult for the Great Cadres to trade with foreign countries, not only because the distance was long, but they also needed to carry a large amount of supplies every time they traveled far away.

Moreover, there were alien cavalry raids along the way, and when they reached the desert area, there were countless small countries that exploited the caravans along the way.

If it weren't for the fact that the profits from trade and commerce would have been ten times greater, the big cadres would not pay attention to the profits, just to promote the name of the country.

I am afraid that this trade route has long been abolished.

"Elite Country? As far as the minister knows, the number of people in this country is less than 10,000, and the minister has absolute confidence to take it down. ”

"But where do you get the supplies after you take them? It is located in the desert, and the water source may not be sufficient. I'm just afraid of ........"

Jiang Wujian was a little worried about Xu Jing's proposal.

"Uncle Jiang, don't worry, I will arrange a trade team to carry craftsmen, blacksmiths, salt and iron along the way."

"Of course, there will be more additional troops in the ranks."

Xu Jing smiled lightly, he had already made a decision in his heart, and said firmly.

"Your Majesty, is it really possible? Trade has always been in the hands of the Ministry of Households. Although now the post of the head of the household department has fallen into our hands. ”

"But ninety percent of the officials of the entire household department are still cronies of the Xiao family, so they are really relieved to expose the big snow dragoon in front of the Xiao family?"

Lin Changhe also spoke at this moment.

"Didn't Uncle forget, what about the Liu and Huang families?"

Xu Jing asked with a smug smile.

"You mean........ In the name of the mutual market, in fact, the Liu and Huang families were sent to transport materials? ”

Lin Changhe felt more and more that the emperor in front of him was bold, and he would actually believe in the two merchant families!

Since ancient times, businessmen have valued profits over separation, and even their relatives are not worth mentioning in their eyes, let alone being loyal to the monarch and patriotic.

Exposing Xu Jing's biggest secret to them was definitely not a good choice in Lin Changhe's eyes.

Even, in Lin Changhe's opinion, exposing the Great Snow Dragoon in front of them is no different from exposing it to the Xiao family!

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm not an idiot, so naturally I won't let you know the identity of the Great Snow Dragoon."

"In Uncle Jiang's army, aren't there 5,000 alien light cavalry? You can ride lightly to receive supplies. ”

"At that time, they will only believe that I, the Great Emperor, are afraid of the power of the Xiao family and choose to cooperate with other races."

"I would never have imagined that the Great Snow Dragoon was in the midst of other countries."

"As for the troops, they still have to think carefully."

Xu Jing laid out the whole idea.

Listening to this, Jiang Wujian and Lin Changhe both lit up.

Especially Lin Changhe, he thought that Xu Jing only knew how to kill, but now it seems that it is far more than that!

"Your Majesty, the Liu and Huang families are here!"

Just as Xu Jing was talking to the two important ministers, a brocade guard outside the door stood outside the door and shouted in a low voice.
