Zhao Ying was a little surprised for a moment, and then nodded with a smile.

In his memory, Fusu has always been very strict with him and Zhao Qi, not to mention taking the initiative to drink with him, even if he drinks a little secretly, he will be punished.

Today, it's clear that he's treating himself like an adult.

Although Fusu offered to drink, the two of them didn't drink much, and they simply meant it, even if they pulled it down, but the father and son let go of a lot of knots because of this.

The two of them tacitly did not mention any political affairs, but casually talked about some parents' shortcomings, or the customs and customs of Shangjun, all of which were picking up some light-hearted and pleasant things, so the father and son ate this meal very easily and harmoniously.

"Come here today, you don't need to accompany me here, you have been marching in a hurry for the past few days, and the road has been hard, so go back and rest first......"

After eating, Fusu didn't stay long and took the initiative to speak.

Zhao Ying was not polite, and got up very simply to leave.

The result of today's meeting far exceeded his expectations, and he was really afraid that this eldest son would take out the frame of being a father and give him an education, but now it looks good.

Perhaps, the tempering during this time in Shangjun has changed him a lot.

Looking at the back of Zhao Ying striding away, Fusu's eyes were calm and he was silent for a long time.

In the past, I didn't do a good job of this Ah Weng and ignored this child, but now, since this child has a future, and I Ah Weng is willing to cultivate him, then from now on, I should also learn to do something for this child!

But there wasn't much Fusu could do.

He had already been expelled from the power center of Xianyang by the First Emperor, and now the First Emperor has not made a clear statement, and he cannot clearly let those forces who are still waiting for his return to serve his son.

The only thing he can do now is to let this son walk more steadily on the path chosen by the First Emperor.

For example, this transfer of troops!

As a prisoner, he has a lot to do.

Standing in the courtyard for a while, he silently withdrew his gaze, walked out of the door with his hands behind his back with an indifferent expression.

"Come with me to General Wang Ben and the ...... of Yanjun Guard"

……

Early the next morning.

Zhao Ying got up, after a night's rest, he felt that his mind was a lot refreshed, and he marched all the way down, even if his current physique was exaggerated, he didn't feel much tired physically, but his spirit was still a little nervous.

This time, Zhao Ying went out to conquer the Xiongnu, without many men and horses, only brought his own 3,000 recruits, and the first emperor arranged 3,000 auxiliary soldiers, and the rest of the men and horses needed to be transferred from Shangjun.

He needs to complete this task as soon as possible and complete the initial integration of forces before the auxiliary troops arrive.

Therefore, he didn't delay much, and after breakfast, he took the tiger talisman and went to the army with Li Xin and Wang Li, looking for Wang Ben to officially hand over to him.

Now, the lord of Shangjun will be his father-in-law Wang Ben, the supervisor is his father Fusu, and he holds the tiger talisman given by his eldest father, so the whole process is extremely smooth.

Wang Ben and Fusu verified the tiger talisman on the spot, and it was accurate, and then, very cooperatively, let it go, open it, and let them pick people in the army.

Allocation and selection are actually two different concepts.

But Wang Ben and Fusu both tacitly ignored this.

Everyone has their sons, and if it weren't for the fear of violating the policy, the two of them would have been eager to directly stuff the most elite troops into their hands.

"Thank you, General—"

Zhao Ying sincerely gave his father and Fusu a salute.

Then he called Zhang Han, Han Xin and others who were waiting outside, and began to select people among the 500,000 troops in Shangjun.

"Don't be under 18 years old, don't be over 30 years old, don't have an only child in the family, don't be physically strong, don't be able to ride and shoot!"

Under Zhao Ying's almost harsh requirements, including Zhang Han and Han Xin, all the people above the hundred generals were dispatched, working overtime, and working for three whole days before 30,000 elite soldiers were selected from the 500,000 army.

These are the elite of the elite, and everyone is a veteran who has been on the battlefield and seen blood.

However, Zhao Ying didn't want any of the original middle- and lower-level generals in Shangjun!

He scattered all these people, and then distributed them to Zhang Han, Han Xin, Meng Zhan and others, from top to bottom, all the middle and lower-level officers were the real descendants he brought from the recruit battalion.

He doesn't just want an elite army, he wants an army that is absolutely obedient to his orders and commands.

Taking new soldiers and bringing veterans was originally a big taboo.

But Wang Ben personally took charge of the field, and the eldest son Fusu changed his normal state and did not leave the left and right, and Zhao Ying himself was a nobleman, and Li Xin was a veteran in the army with a high prestige, so the transition was quite smooth.

After the formation of the army, except for the scout battalion, under the leadership of Chen Sheng, Tu and Xiong, who directly set off to Jiuyuan County to fight for the army, all the people immediately entered the run-in training of the army.

Originally, these veterans in the army in Shangjun still looked down on these young people who looked childish.

But he quickly corrected his attitude.

Because these young people are really excellent. Not only are the archers and horses skillful and disciplined, but the most terrifying thing is that everyone knows the art of war! It can be said that in addition to not being on the battlefield and not being stained with blood, there are almost no shortcomings.

They are all veterans who have fought and died on the battlefield and crawled out of the pile of dead, so they naturally know how terrible such an army can be, and how high the growth space of these young people who still seem to be a little immature can be.

As long as they have experienced two bloody battles and do not die, these young people will be reborn and grow into real elite and qualified lieutenant generals in the army.

Therefore, with this kind of cognition, the dissatisfaction in most people's hearts gradually faded, and they obviously cooperated a lot during training. The only thing that made them a little uncomfortable was that compared with the original, more attention was paid to the study of "Casting the Soul of the Army"!

Not only to learn, but also to talk about experience!

can embarrass this group of rough old men-

Fortunately, with the help of the 3,000 recruits brought by Zhao Ying, they didn't make a fool of themselves, but their study every night still made them miserable.

The days are like this, day by day, after more than ten days of running-in, everyone is finally familiar with their subordinates, and after these days of getting along, these recruits who have never been on the battlefield have also learned many details from these veterans that cannot be learned in books.

The overall combat effectiveness is visibly improved with the naked eye.

Zhao Ying, Li Xin and others were naturally extremely pleased, but the county Shouyan and the main general Wang Ben had some headaches.

He suddenly felt that he had promised the eldest son a few days ago, and he had promised a little hastily-

It is said that it is 30,000 elite soldiers, but in fact, it has taken away the equipment of nearly 100,000 elite soldiers, not to mention, during this period of time, the food expenses of these people alone have given them a little headache, and everyone, not only three meals a day, but also meat at noon and night!

Where is this raising 30,000 elite soldiers, this is raising 30,000 ancestors......

The treasury of the upper county was visibly deflated with the naked eye.

That treatment made some veterans who were not selected couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, this kind of day is not too long, and on the fifteenth day after Zhao Ying and the others arrived in Shangjun, Chen Ping and Meng Ce, who were in charge of the auxiliary troops in the back, finally arrived in Shangjun.

Their arrival means that the days of Zhao Ying and others in Shangjun have entered the countdown.

Sure enough, on the third day after Chen Ping and Meng Ce arrived in Shangjun, Zhao Ying ordered the army to be marched, which made the county Shouyan and the main general Wang Ben secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

If you stay any longer, the treasury will really be a little unbearable.

The army left, and Fusu, Wang Ben and Jun Shouyan personally went out of the city to see off Zhao Ying and others.

"I'm waiting here, waiting for the triumph of His Highness's army—"

Jun Shouyan looked solemn and bowed his hand.

Zhao Ying also returned the salute with a serious face.

"Chengjun Shoujiyan!"

Then, he said goodbye to Fusu and Wang Ben.

At the beginning, Meng Tian seized the Hetao Plain from the Xiongnu, and Daqin immediately set up Jiuyuan County, and Meng Tian set up forty-four cities along the Hetao area in one go, forming a defense chain against the Xiongnu.

Therefore, what really borders the Xiongnu is Jiuyuan County.

After entering the boundary of Jiuyuan County, Zhao Ying immediately increased the scope of his investigation and continued to sweep repeatedly. But he also knew that in this kind of border with the Xiongnu, it was impossible to completely put an end to the exploration of the Xiongnu.

Therefore, after consulting with Li Xin, Zhang Han, Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Chen Ping, and others, they decisively slowed down the pace of the march, and then began to make a big fanfare, making people spread many flags along the way, and adding stoves, making the momentum full of momentum.

If you don't take a closer look, even if you say that there are 100,000 troops, no one will be suspicious.

However, no one noticed that not long after entering Jiuyuan County, there were several teams in front and behind, silently leaving the route of the army, one person and three cavalry, taking advantage of the night to disappear into the vast wilderness of Jiuyuan County.

A few days later, Zhang Han, Han Xin and Zhao Ying, with a total of 20,000 troops, quietly met outside Jiuyuan County.

From the very beginning, Zhao Ying was not prepared to fight a protracted war with the Xiongnu.

He is ready to follow Huo Quai's example back then, and take advantage of Takahashi's saddle, stirrups and horse hooves to start a blitzkrieg.

Therefore, when everyone thought that he was still in Jiuyuan County, he was broken into pieces and took an army of 15,000 to the Xiongnu steppe.

"General, how do we get there—"

Looking at the map in front of him, Han Xin's eyes flashed. Although they had already deduced the plan for sending troops countless times in private, he still couldn't help but feel a little excited.

No way, this opportunity, too bold, too crazy.

It gave him a bit of an adrenaline rush.

"The Ministry of Harmony—"

Zhao Ying stretched out his big hand, circled around, and pressed heavily on a green space at the foot of Wusheling Mountain.

Here is a medium-sized tribe of tens of thousands of Xiongnu tribes. The Yunpu Department has always had a marriage relationship with the Xiongnu headquarters, and it is also an important source base for Shan Yu and Youxian Wang's war horses.

This time, Zhao Ying is eyeing this place.

……

Just when Zhao Ying and the others secretly crossed the Yellow River, preparing to bypass the Wusheling Mountains and launch a surprise attack on the Yunpu Department, a government decree within Daqin and Xianyang City fell into a huge dispute.

Imperial examination system.

Under the deliberate impetus of the court, scholars from all over the world joined in this grand debate, what to test, how to test, who can take the test, and everyone can give advice to the court.

The nobles of the Six Kingdoms are a little numb.

Because, they found that the situation seemed to be a little out of control, and this was not at all a problem of promoting "Casting the Soul of the Army", nor was it a problem of the Great Qin Storyteller, or even a problem of the imperial court providing books cheaply, but the imperial examination came!

The imperial court actually allowed everyone to participate in the imperial examination!

It has reopened the upward channel for readers.

This hand directly disrupted their position, and many people's minds changed unconsciously.

If you can rise, why rebel!

Handan County.

Li Zuoche, who heard the news, couldn't help but sigh softly, looked at Zhao Dun who was sitting in his study, and said with a wry smile.

"There's no way—if the imperial court really allows the children of each family to participate in the imperial examination, can you control the children of the family from participating? Even if you can control the children in the family, can you control the local scholars......

Zhao Dun was silent.

"It's useless, take the initiative-"

Li Zuoche looked at Zhao Dun, who still looked a little hesitant, and directly closed the coffin.

"Unless we take the initiative now, we can only take the initiative to participate and take the initiative into our own hands......

Huiji County.

Yin Tong, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu gathered together.

"General Xiang, what should we do now......

Unlike those nobles of the Six Kingdoms in Handan County, they have been operating here for a long time, not only mastering the local army, but also arranging a lot of men and horses in Daze Township.

Grain, grass, armor, troops, all three.

There's no turning back-

Xiang Liang couldn't help frowning.

"Didn't the First Emperor distrust the children of our Six Kingdoms? Why did the wind suddenly turn around-"

Yin Tong was silent.

Although he is the guardian of a county, he is far away from the power center of Xianyang, and he does not get much useful information at all.

"I think, it's better to go straight to the army—"

Xiang Yu couldn't help frowning, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

"If we continue to break down, we will suffer, and if it continues to develop, I think we will be in an even more difficult situation - if nothing else, just those books in the treasury, how long can we press ......"

Yin Tong and Xiang Liang were silent for a long time.

"Wait a little longer, compared to Great Qin, our strength is too weak - we have to wait until the First Emperor is gone, so that we can have a chance to ......"

Xiang Liang glanced at his nephew, who was a little unwilling.

"Moreover, now that the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Ying, has led his troops to Jiuyuan County to attack the Xiongnu - the Xiongnu are not weak now, so the emperor's eldest grandson ......"

Xiang Liang smiled.

"With that Li Xin following, even if it is not a fiasco, it will be difficult to win quickly, if it completely angers the Huns - drag Daqin into the quagmire of war completely......"

Yin Tong's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Then we have a chance!"
