With the completion of the Great Wall, Daqian began to accumulate national strength after losing a large amount of expenditure.

The Hetao area is not far from Daqian, and more importantly, it is not like the northern grasslands, where you can only graze herd, but can be cultivated in the south of the Yangtze River.

The grassland is vast, there is almost no margin, it is easy to get lost, it is extremely difficult to find the Huns in such a vast grassland, and the grain and grass are cut off if you are not careful, so Wang Luo did not go deep into the grassland.

However, the Hetao region did not have this scruples, and after several years of trade, the topography of the Hetao area had been almost collected.

Wang Luo handed over the map to Li Mu and asked him to deduce it first, and wait until next year's grain harvest before leaving the Hetao.

Time passed quickly, the heavens were beautiful, the grains were abundant, the world was abundant, the grain and grass were abundant, the morale of the army was high, and without the labor of the Great Wall and the consumption of money and grain, the national strength of the Great Cadres began to recover.

Large quantities of money and grain were transported to Xianyang, the largest city in the Guanzhong Plain, once the capital of the Qin state, which would serve as the base for the army's westward expedition.

Wang Ke led several Yulin guards out of Shangyang Palace, and the five hundred princes and six Yulin guards outside the main hall were already ready to go. Since Wang Ke's wedding, Wang Luo has begun to enhance the strength of the prince step by step.

He knew that his time was short, so he began to vigorously support the prince, and this time he attacked the Hetao, and Wang Luo already planned to let the prince follow.

In Shangyang Palace, Wang Luo was watching Li Mu's war deduction, clearly knowing the approximate number of enemy troops and the surrounding terrain, and then launching a surprise attack.

In the face of such a victorious war, Wang Luo naturally will not let it go.

"Li Qing, I let the prince go with the army, which makes it difficult for you." Wang Luo said.

"The prince is smart and has the talent of a general." Li Mu said respectfully.

Wang Luo shook his head slightly and said, "It's just that I've read a few military books, and I don't deserve Li Qing to boast." ”

"This time Li Qing is the commander-in-chief, the prince is only the deputy commander, and at the same time, the prince is not responsible for anything, and he can't interfere in anything, I have already explained, everything is subject to Li Qing's arrangement."

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, how many troops are you going to send this time?" ”

"How many troops do you need?"

"Fifty thousand is enough!" Li Mu said with confidence.

"Then give you 50,000 elites!" Wang Luo said immediately.

Wang Ke excitedly led the troops to the school field, the prince led a total of 1,000 people, this time Wang Ke participated in the Northern Expedition, these 500 people will be his personal soldiers.

These princes did not wear armor, and in Luoyang City, except for the Yulin Guards who guarded the palace, other soldiers were not allowed to wear armor. Even the crown prince has six rates.

Daqian has been cultivating war horses for a long time, although the quality of war horses is not as good as that of the Huns, but the number of war horses has also increased a lot in recent years. Therefore, this time, everyone has a war horse.

With the exception of a few who were cavalry, the vast majority were mounted infantry. Without a Takahashi saddle, without stirrups, the training of the cavalry was difficult.

Wang Luo naturally knew the convenience that saddles and stirrups could bring, but helplessly, in the Daqian court, war horses did not have an advantage.

Even if all the saddles and stirrups are equipped, the increase in strength is limited, and if these things are learned by the Huns, in the state of the Huns' national cavalry. Its strength has also improved by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, Wang Luo would rather not use these things to improve the combat power of the cavalry.

Unless Da Qian won a big victory in this battle and occupied the Hetao area to raise horses, Da Qian had a large number of cavalry, and at this time he would release the high bridge saddle, stirrups, and horseshoe.

Most of the cavalry of Daqian were light cavalry, with only one leather armor on the upper body, and most of them performed harassment and reconnaissance work.

Wang Ke happily took five hundred Lin Wei to the hussar general Li Mu, and he had no intention of relying on his status as a prince at all.

Imperial Palace, in Shangyang Palace.

Wang Ke was wearing a shining armor, a helmet in his hand, a long sword hanging from his waist, and a military uniform set off his heroic spirit.

Few people can refuse the temptation of commanding a large army, and although Wang Ke has been learning the way of the emperor all these years, he can't help this temptation.

"Queen Mother, do you think I look like a great general?"

The queen looked at her excited son, then looked at her husband next to her and said, "Your Majesty, on the battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns, and the prince is the prince of the country, why do you want him to go to the battlefield?" ”

Wang Luo looked at his wife with a little headache, his wife is good at everything, but she spoils her son too much.

"What's wrong, I also followed General Xu on the expedition back then, and broke Zhao Qin in a battle, why can't he go to the battlefield?"

"As the prince of the country, I haven't even been on the battlefield, how can I convince those proud soldiers in the army?"

"Besides, this time with Li Qing leading the army, the prince will be fine!"

At the same time, the crown prince also stepped forward to request, saying that he was willing to go to the battlefield, and after some persuasion, the queen reluctantly agreed.

After the queen left, Wang Luo took out two Heavenly Mandate Artifacts and said: "This Heavenly Mandate Artifact is called the Reinforcement Order, and after using it, you can summon a hundred elite soldiers, all of these soldiers are elite with one as ten, even if you are surrounded by thousands of people, they can protect you from breaking through."

This one is the Heavenly Fire Order, which can summon a piece of Heavenly Fire. At critical juncture, defeat can be turned into victory. ”

When Wang Ke saw these two Heavenly Mandate artifacts, his heart was eager to try,

Wang Luo glanced at him and said, "Although the Heavenly Mandate Artifact is powerful, there is a price to pay for using it, and it takes at least five years of life, whether you can use it or not!" ”

When Wang Ke heard this, his heart tightened, and he nodded solemnly and said, "Father, don't worry, your son must use it carefully." ”

"Remember, this time you must follow General Li's orders, there is only one commander in the army, and that is Li Mu!"

"Erchen has written it down!"

"This time, you have to learn more and see more, see the young talents who are actively coming out of the army, befriend them, and give them grace, these are your future team."

"Father, you are in the prime of spring and autumn, and you will definitely be able to live a long life!" When Wang Ke heard this, he panicked in his heart and hurriedly said.

Wang Luo waved his hand to stop him from continuing, and said: "I know very well that my body is not much time, you need to grow up as soon as possible, after this time the conquest of Hetao is over, I will give General Li the position of general, and add the title of prince and prince." ”

"With him assisting in the court, there will be no chaos in the court!"

Wang Ke immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, father!" ”

"Okay, take your prince Liulu and follow Li Qing to make meritorious contributions!"

"No!" Wang Ke immediately said loudly, and then got up and left Shangyang Palace.
