Lu's words not only represent his own attitude, but also represent the eldest princess Yu Chuqing, Duke Lu Chun of Wei, and even the emperor in Ziji palace. Didn't you see that the prince Yu Minghao, sitting on one side, didn't have the slightest fluctuation when he heard Lu's words. Obviously, the Prince knew about it in advance.
It's just that Da Qian has invested millions of troops in this war. It can be said that it's a war related to the future strategy of Da Qian. None of the three of them has leading experience, but they have entrusted such an important task to the three of them. For this reason, Lu que has even taken out the most elite personal guards under his command. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this matter, Even ye Zhiqiu felt an invisible pressure in his heart. The heavy pressure made him slow down his breathing. Meng Cang and Li Chang trembled and flushed.
"Lu Shuai." Ye Zhiqiu swallowed his saliva and said, "brother Meng and brother Li and I have never led a soldier on the battlefield, and we have no experience in fighting. If we can transfer general he, general Feng and general Cheng back, these two battalions are their old headquarters, and they are more skillful than us in commanding. We are willing to go south as the auxiliary of the three generals."
Ye Zhiqiu doesn't want this opportunity. He just uses the three of them as new soldiers and gives them such important people. This trust is too heavy. Although he is confident in his talent and learning, the battlefield is changing rapidly. Once they fail, they are likely to lead the war in southern Xinjiang to another direction, Then they really have no face to go back to work.
Moreover, the success or failure of the three of them is also related to the future of the poor family. Once they are defeated, either the emperor or the prince Yu Minghao in front of them will be extremely cautious when using the talents of the poor family in the future. You should know that once you miss some opportunities, you will never have them again. In the future, it will be much more difficult for poor students to go up. This is what all poor students do not want to see. At this time, the trend of the battle in southern Xinjiang and the opportunity of the rise of the poor family were all on the three men, which made them a little out of breath.
Another thing is that the former two battalions of cavalry were the Yulin scouting battalion and the fast wind light cavalry who had made great achievements with Lu que eight months ago. They can be described as proud soldiers and valiant generals. In the whole Da Qian, the only one who can make these 5000 cavalry follow to death and make them unswervingly carry out their orders is Lu que himself.
If Lu que gave them these 5000 men, the valiant soldiers in the army would not really be convinced even if they would obey Lu Que's orders. It is not easy for such an army to recognize their three new soldiers and follow their command after going south. No matter Meng Cang, Li Chang or Ye Zhiqiu, they have no idea.
Lu que smiles when he hears the words. He naturally understands what the three people are thinking at this time, but he doesn't have the slightest intention of comforting them. Among the new generation of talents in poor families, his favorite is Ye Zhiqiu, who is no less talented than him. What's worse is that he sharpens his heart. In the world of mortals, except for fireworks and willow alleys, there is no place that can temper a person's mind better than the battlefield.
Lu que knows that although he is now known as the leader of a new generation of poor families, the Lu family has not been a poor family since his father Lu Chun was appointed Marquis of Wuping more than 20 years ago. Now the Lu family of Weiguo is one of the top honours of Da Qian.
So if you want to really rise, you have to have a few leaders who really came from poor families, just like the three heroes who led the rise of poor families.
As for the leader candidates, Qian Emperor Yu Yuanxu, the eldest princess Yu Chuqing, Wei Duke Lu Chun and Lu que themselves were the first to choose Ye Zhiqiu. As for the rest of the poor family leaders, we have to look at them again. Although duanmuye and Lin Qingyu have this potential, they are not suitable to live in a temple. Duanmuye is more suitable to become a frontier town commander in the future, while Lin Qingyu is not, Lu que felt that when his cultivation arrived, the imperial city was the best place for him.
After ye Zhiqiu finished speaking, he waited for a long time, but did not wait for Lu Que's reply. He looked up at Lu que, but found that there were two scrolls in Lu Que's hand. Ye Zhiqiu saw at a glance that they were the emperor's edict and waige's writing. Although he did not know the content, Lu que took them out at this time, which must have something to do with the three of them.
"He Tao, Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan are training the new army. I want to build a new cavalry that can surpass the Three Kingdoms on the grassland outside the elite shooting camp of Fengxiang army. They have already gone to the animal farm of the animal husbandry department in Northern Xinjiang. They are not in Beijing at this time. They can't go south with you."
Here, Lu que picked up the scroll in his hand and said, "these two scrolls in my hand are the imperial edict of your majesty and the official appointment document stamped with the seal of military prime minister. If the three virtuous brothers are willing, they will accept them. There is no servant here, and there is no need to declare the edict. If I don't want to, I'll take it back. I'll explain it to your majesty and the military minister, and the three virtuous brothers will stay in the outer Pavilion. "
There is no smoke in Lu Que's words, but they all know that their next choice is related to their official career and fate, as well as many people's perception of their new generation of poor students, including Lu Chun, the leader of the previous generation.
"The minister and others comply with the order, and are willing to set fire to the warehouse for Da Qian The three men looked at each other and knelt down on one knee in front of the imperial edict in Lu Que's hand, making the most solemn military salute.
Lu que takes a look at Yu Minghao, the crown prince. Yu Minghao quickly gets up and hands them up. He takes the imperial edict from Lu Que and hands it to them. He says, "there are many crises on the battlefield. You need to pay attention to them all the time. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, you are all my attendants in the east palace. We are alone in the east palace to prepare the banquet and wait for the three to return triumphantly. Let's have a drink together. "
"Thank you, your highness." Ye Zhiqiu took over the imperial edict and the appointment document of waige. His heart was full of blood, and his hands were shaking slightly. He finally got the chance that others had been dreaming of, and the humble family finally got the chance to rise again 20 years later.
"Three wise brothers, after you leave here, you go directly to Changqing military camp. When you get there, someone will hand over to you. You only have three days to get familiar with military affairs. After three days, you will lead the army to Hanhai County by boat, and then you will go south with the Han navy fleet." Seeing the change of their faces, Lu Kuo comforted them and said, "I know there is not enough time, but the battle of Southern Xinjiang can not be delayed any longer. I believe that with the ability of the three wise brothers, we can overcome these difficulties. The officers and men in the scouting camp and Fengqi camp are all upright men. The three virtuous brothers don't have to worry too much. "
"Thank you, marshal Lu." The three felt relieved when they heard that Lu Kuo had already said hello to the soldiers of the two battalions in advance, so that they would have less resistance to take over the army.
"Brother Meng Gang Meng, brother Li Ming Hui, five thousand five hundred brothers of Fengqi and scouts are handed over to you. Please always pay attention to the battlefield."
"We will live up to the trust of Marshal Lu. We will not let any big man die in vain on the battlefield." Meng Cang and Li Chang said.
"Brother ye, I know you have great talent. I have written to Princess Tianxiang and commander Qingcheng, and they will give you space to display." Lu que looked at Ye Zhiqiu again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "in the battle of Southern Xinjiang, the Changqing army is not in the sequence of going out. It is not controlled by the two commanders in southern Xinjiang. If brother Ye catches the opportunity, and other people do not agree, I will grant you the right of discretion in the name of deputy commander of Changqing army, and let you act alone."
At this point, Lu que took out a gold medal from his arms, which is the identity plate symbolizing the position of commander in chief of the evergreen army. As a pro army directly under the emperor, as long as the gold medal appeared, even if yu Yuanpu, the king of Zhongyang, was in southern Xinjiang at that time, the army was looking after Huairen, they did not have the right to control Ye Zhiqiu.
"Thanks for Lu Shuai's trust. Zhiqiu will live up to Lu Shuai's trust." In Ye Zhiqiu's eyes, a touch of emotion flashed through his eyes. Lu que really dealt with all the factors outside the battlefield for them, and even gave him the right to make arbitrary decisions. He even handed over the military commander's name plate to him. He knew how much responsibility Lu que had to bear when he handed over the military commander's name plate to him. If he was defeated, Lu que would also be involved.
"Well, there's not much time. You can go directly to Changqing military camp. Your highness and I are waiting for the good news of three good brothers in the capital." Lu que took a look at the three and sat back on the throne.
"No, I will leave at last."
"Cousin, why are you so optimistic about ye Zhiqiu?" After the three left the attic, Prince Yu Minghao asked strangely. He knew the front story before, but he really didn't know that Lu que even gave his military commander's name plate. You should know that it's not an ordinary military commander's name plate. It's the military commander's name plate of Changqing army, which is called the first army of Daqian. This military commander's name plate is almost the same as the Emperor himself, because before that, the military commander of Changqing army was always the Emperor himself.
Yu Yuanxu didn't expect that his father had just given Lu que this red gold token, and he gave it to Ye Zhiqiu. This trust, this courage, maybe the whole Da Qian would not have another person except Lu que.
"Ye Zhiqiu, he is very much like an elder of mine. I have noticed him since two years ago when he forced me and Yanzheng to become the leader in the Chongyang exam. Your highness, ye Zhiqiu has the talent of a statesman and the posture of a famous commander. I believe he will not disappoint us. In this world, the sound of a young bird's first cry is the most loud and clear. We will just wait and see in the imperial capital. " Lu que looked at the re closed door and murmured.
"As long as my cousin knows." Yu Minghao nodded his head, then he was attracted by the content of Lu Caigang's words. He asked curiously, "cousin, you say ye Zhiqiu is like an elder of yours. I don't know who that person is?"
"He is my enlightening teacher. Ye Zhiqiu's calm temperament is very similar to his teacher. Although Ye Zhiqiu can't compare with his teacher now, his future achievements may not be worse than his teacher with his mind and potential." Lu Que's eyes flashed with a trace of memory.
"My cousin said that he was one of the three heroes of that year, and he was called Baili Marquis, who was called the supernatural calculation?" Yu Minghao was shocked. He naturally knew who Lu Que's enlightening mentor was, but he didn't expect that Lu Que's evaluation of Ye Zhiqiu was so high. You know, it was bailika who had no idea. The prairie fire in those years has been mentioned from time to time today.
Lu Chun is the most famous marshal in the world, and Ji Zhiheng is a famous minister. Among the three, Yu Minghao's greatest admiration is not his uncle Lu Chun, but Bai Lijia, who died young but left the name of a wise man.
"Yes, but although Ye Zhiqiu is like a mentor, he can't be a second mentor because of the current situation and the nature of his heart. So he can only be the first one. Your highness, he is your future minister. You can trust him and rely on him. But the power of the Imperial court lies in the balance, and the power of the heaven lies in the people's heart. At this time, the opportunity for the rise of the humble family has come, In the future, your highness can establish a new balance, but not without it. " Lu said with a sigh.
"I understand. That's what my father told me. He once said that the only people I can trust without reservation are elder sister and cousin."
"Your Highness ~" Lu que smiles bitterly when he hears the words. Yu Minghao suddenly says so, which makes him not know how to go on for a while.
"Cousin, is it true that Da qian can't keep you for a long time?" Yu Minghao asks curiously.
"Ming Hao, everyone has his own pursuit." Lu que touched Yu Minghao's head and said, "just like you, you are the prince of Daqian, the future emperor. After three generations of accumulation by Emperor Taizong, Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Wen, Emperor Wu sent Baili to conquer the north and expand the 18 counties, pushing the border of Daqian's northern border to the line of blue river, and then to his Majesty's place, destroying the Qingyang empire, Once again, expand the territory of 18 counties. If we can annex the two countries in southern Xinjiang in this battle, your majesty will expand the territory to 144 counties, accounting for almost half of the territory of Qingmu. Then what is your pursuit of becoming emperor in the future? "
"Me?" Yu Minghao frowned and thought about it, and said seriously, "I also want to develop people's livelihood internally, like my father, so that my people can have food for the tiller, clothes for the weaver, security for the old, use for the strong, and learn for the young. And externally, there are my old enemies on the grassland. I also want to go out to sweep the north. The vast grassland was originally the hometown of our Yan people. There used to be countless famous cities there, but now they are all buried under the Caohai mound. I want to destroy the Three Kingdoms on the grassland, restore the territory of the three ancient dynasties, and reproduce the glory of our qingmuyan people. "
"You see, it's your pursuit and your responsibility." Lu que nodded with satisfaction. Although Yu Minghao is only ten years old, he has already shown his talent as a king of Ming Dynasty. He can soar in the nine days only when his wings are complete.
"What about you, cousin? What is your pursuit?" Yu Minghao asks curiously.
"I want to follow the ancient emperor's footprints to Liyan mainland and Beichen mainland to see the wonderful world. Daqian is just a corner of green wood. In other continents, there are too many things we have never heard of or seen."
"Cousin, when I abdicate several years later, can I come to you?" Yu Minghao's eyes flashed. He was not unfamiliar with what Lu que said. All the Yu emperors, except Emperor Xuan, left Qingmu to pursue the martial arts of Changsheng. This is recorded in detail in the Royal records.
"Of course, maybe we can meet Emperor Wen, Emperor Wu and even emperor Taizu somewhere. But the premise is that you should be a good emperor. Otherwise, when you see them, if they ask you how you managed Daqian during your reign, you will have no way to answer them." Lu said with a smile.
"So it is." Yu Minghao nodded and said with some hope, "however, if my ancestors ask me such questions at that time, I will be proud to say to them that I am a good emperor."
"That's good." Lu can't help shaking his head and laughing when he sees Yu Minghao's serious appearance. However, it is only at this time that Yu Minghao returns to what a ten-year-old child should look like. In Lu's heart, being born in the royal family is not only the greatest luck, but also the greatest misfortune, and it is not easy to want a Mingjun, which requires great perseverance and strong self-control, There are many emperors in history.
"In this case, it's time for us to leave. After lunch, you have to go back to the east palace. If I remember correctly, three bachelor's degree should go to the East Palace in the afternoon to give you lectures."
"Oh, well." Yu Minghao, who was just immersed in his imagination, broke down in an instant when he heard Yan's small face, and replied reluctantly.
At this time, ye Zhiqiu, Meng Cang and Li Chang had already left the outer Pavilion. Looking back at the outer Pavilion, which represented the army of Da Qian, they all had ups and downs. Along the way, they all read the emperor's edict and the appointment documents of the outer Pavilion, for fear that if they didn't pay attention to the name above, they would become others.
"Mr. Ye, shall we go directly to Changqing military camp now?" Li Chang took a deep breath and asked.
Lu Que and Meng Cang were only captains and generals of the two battalions given by the emperor. Ye Zhiqiu only offered wine to the commander of Lu que. His rank and power were above him and Meng Cang. Lu que finally handed over the military commander's name plate to Ye Zhiqiu, which also showed that they were going South this time, Ye Zhiqiu is the main one.
"It's almost noon now. Let's go to dinner first and sort out our mood by the way. We'll go to Changqing barracks in the afternoon." Ye Zhiqiu thought about it and said. He is a bit confused now and needs time to sort out his thoughts. If he goes to Changqing military camp at this time, he is likely to make a joke.
"It's better to eat first. If I go to the barracks now, I really don't know what to say to the soldiers in the barracks." Meng Cang nodded his head.
"But brother Meng and brother Li, we can't drink when we go to dinner. Otherwise, if we go into the military camp in the afternoon, maybe the people of the Military Justice Department will arrest us directly."
"It's natural."
