"The reason why I say this is to let the two of you know that there are people outside the sky, as long as the two of you have the courage and courage, you can lead my Great Qin Erlang to sweep the world, trample the Mauryan Dynasty and the Macedonian Empire under your feet, and open up thousands of miles for my Great Qin, and achieve immortal achievements......"

"Although Master Hou commands, what should the two of us do?" Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu hugged their fists at the same time, and the two of them already understood at this time that Chen Xu wanted them to do one thing.

"Two generals, my Great Qin has a total of more than a million troops in the country at the moment, these soldiers are constantly supplied but do not cultivate, and the daily consumption is innumerable, but there is no need for the Six Kingdoms to continue to maintain such a strong force, and once the northwest is stable, the 300,000 troops stationed in the northwest will inevitably become an ornament, and it will have no effect except for consuming food and equipment, so I am ready to play Your Majesty to streamline the army, in addition to retaining a few powerful horse pawns, the 300,000 army will be removed, According to the military merits, the land and real estate are distributed and the land is settled, so I need the two generals to capture the position we have just spoken of through a hearty victory, and then inform Your Majesty to dismantle the army......"

Jiang Hu hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Hou, it's okay to dismiss the army, but Your Majesty may not agree!" ”

"So that's what I just said, the two of you are going to win a big victory this time, and completely uproot the 60,000 or 70,000 Hun nobles here in one fell swoop, Your Majesty will naturally be moved when he sees the fierceness of the horse, and this land is like a pearl outside the plug, the water and grass are abundant, the land is fertile, and the irrigation ditch is built to reclaim no less than 100,000 hectares of grain fields, enough to garrison 100,000 households, and once successful, there will be no risk of external harassment in the northwest of Daqin, plus the big river and the city wall block, the border pass only needs a small number of soldiers to be stationed to ensure the stability of my northwest Qin!"

Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu glanced at each other, and then clasped their fists together again and said: "I will do our best in this matter, but I don't dare to guarantee that Your Majesty will accept it, as the Hou Ye said, now that there are powerful new horse pawns and equipment, tens of thousands of horse pawns are completely stronger than the attack power of the 300,000 army, if the trouble of Hun Hu is pacified, there is no need for the Northwest Army to continue to keep so much, but all this still depends on Your Majesty's thoughts, not to mention that although the two of us have made great achievements this time, but the foundation is unstable, and I dare not guarantee that Your Majesty will listen!" ”

"Hehe, I just need Your Majesty to know that someone is proposing disarmament, and I will naturally discuss other matters with Your Majesty!" Chen Xu smiled and waved his hand.

"Master Hou, why are you looking for us, I heard that you and Di Daohou also have a very close relationship, if he comes forward, maybe Your Majesty will believe it more!" Jiang Bu said suspiciously.

And as soon as Chen Xu remembered that Li Xin, who had just left, was still walking and couldn't help but shrug his face, he suddenly twitched a few times and said: "Di Daohou is not a subordinate of General Meng, if he speaks, I am afraid that it will cause all kinds of suspicions!" ”

"I see!" Jiang Bu understood and nodded, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart and said: "Master Hou, in fact, you can discuss this matter with General Meng, if General Meng comes forward, Your Majesty will definitely agree!" ”

"Your brain is broken, isn't it, how can General Meng play the dismissal of the soldiers?" Jiang Hu slapped Jiang Bu on the back of the head and said.

"Uh, yes, yes, Master Hou forgives the sin, and my subordinates have a brain cramp for a while!" Jiang Bu hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Meng Tian controlled an army of 300,000 to guard the northwest, which was almost equivalent to stabilizing Great Qin.

And the Mengshi brothers have always been two loyal dogs in the hands of Qin Shi Huang, not to mention the honor of one article and one martial arts, and almost contracted half of the Great Qin, Meng Tian controlled the most fierce army of Great Qin, Meng Yi monitored the officials of the world, in less than a year, Meng Yi successively stepped on Gao Zheng, Shang Tu, Ao Ping, Zhao Gao and a large and small group of three-grade and four-grade officials of the Ministry of Rites, which was a scene of flesh and blood flying under every foot, but Meng Yi did not hesitate.

Therefore, if the emperor does not open his mouth to withdraw the army, Meng Tian will definitely not open his mouth, and even for the stability of the Great Qin River, he may ask to continue to increase the army, because only with enough troops in his hands can he help the emperor protect the Great Qin River.

As for the people's livelihood and suffering, it has nothing to do with Meng Yi and Meng Tian.

Farming, weaving, eating, and dressing are the affairs of the two prime ministers and the six ministries, and they are only responsible for fighting wars and spending money.

And Jiang Hu is a subordinate of Meng Tian, who has been guarding the northwest for many years, and knows almost everything about the situation in the northwest, and if he leads the new-style horse pawns twice in a row to make great achievements, it is even more convincing to say it.

The current situation of Great Qin cannot afford to support so many troops, because if the 300,000 army remains unavoided, and the new horsemen are still equipped on a large scale, the military demand will only get bigger and bigger, and the imperial court's oppression of the common people will only become more and more ambitious, and the domestic contradictions will become bigger and bigger.

After Jiang Hu returned to Xianyang, he visited Chen Xu twice, and invited Chen Xu to eat and drink at the Qinghe Hotel with several captains who returned at the same time and made great contributions, and expressed his sincere gratitude several times, and these meritorious generals were naturally grateful to Chen Xu, if it weren't for Chen Xu's plan to attack Henan and the new horse equipment and weapons he created, they would definitely not get a big credit.

Therefore, since Jiang Hu is willing to lean closer to himself to show goodwill, Chen Xu naturally hopes to have some influence on the army, but the army is different from the court battle, it is a very special place, it is not easy to insert his hand into it, and the intervention also requires very concealment and caution, the emperor does not want to have someone other than himself who can influence the order and construction of the army.

Therefore, Chen Xu could only get the support of reforming the army through the temptation outside the Western Regions and the Jiang family's gratitude to him.

"Master Hou, three days later, the two of us will set off for the Northwest Military Camp, and we will come to visit and say goodbye, and we will wait until the victory returns to drink and talk to Lord Hou!" Now that Chen Xu has explained the matter clearly, Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu are also ready to say goodbye and leave.

"Haha, it's easy to say, the two generals have returned from a big victory, and Xu is in the Qinghe Hotel to wash the dust for the two!" Chen Xu also laughed heartily and said.

"By the way, Yinshan Hou, Xu still has something to ask for, I hope it can be convenient!" After sending Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu to the door, Chen Xu suddenly remembered something.

"Master Hou, please command!" Jiang Hu said respectfully.

"I have a doorman, named Yingbu, strong martial arts and calm personality, the test and drill of the new horse pawn equipment and weapons were completed by him, because this matter was personally rewarded by the emperor, awarded the title of sixth-level consul captain, and now has been leading the forbidden army to guard the factory outside the city, and has never made a mistake in his due diligence on weekdays, Xu feels that Yingbu is a little condescending to stay in the Academy of Sciences, so he wants to recommend him to serve under General Jiang Hu!"

"This matter is easy to hear, later I will go to the military department to ask for an order to transfer Yingbu to my command, and after going to the northwest military camp, he will still be awarded the position of captain, as for whether he can make meritorious service in this war depends on his own skills!" Jiang Hu agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"Thank you and thank you, meritorious service naturally depends on skills, now that my Daqin is respected for his military merits, I don't want him to condescend to his talents, if the mud can't support the wall, life and death will be up to him!" Chen Xu nodded.

After sending Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu away, Chen Xu returned to the study and didn't sleep a little, and ordered the servants to go outside the city to find Yingbu back.

Now Yingbu has settled in Xianyang, and also bought a house to marry a wife and concubine, compared to two years ago when he wandered around alone to oppose Qin and Fuchu, Chen Xu has also warned Yingbu several times not to regenerate the ambition of recovering the country, although I don't know what Yingbu thinks, but in the past six months, Yingbu has managed the security of the factory is still very good, and he is conscientious and strict with himself every day, and the factory has not had any accidents since the iron-making furnace collapsed in the cold winter last year, and the forbidden army also respects him very much. It can be seen that the battalion headquarters is similar to the historical records of later generations, and it is indeed a general.

And Chen Ping, who has the same thoughts as Yingbu to oppose Qin and restore Wei, has now become the big boss of the Daqin Metropolis Newspaper, and has completely abandoned the idea of recovering the country and turned into a sharp blade in Chen Xu's hands, specializing in dealing with the noisy hundred schools of thought and dealing with all kinds of disobedience of all cultural hooligans.

This Wen Yiwu was the key figure who assisted Liu Bang in winning in later historical records, but now it belongs to Chen Xu.

As for the later generations, there are comparable figures such as Xiao He Han Xin and others, Chen Xu did not plan to find them one by one, Zhang Liang did not get Huang Shigong's Taigong Art of War, the general trend of the world has begun to irreversibly distort, as long as Hu Hai does not come to power, Meng Tian Meng Yi and Li Xinzhang Han Wang Ben and other old Qin generals do not die, Daqin will be as stable as a mountain, even if Xiang Yu and Liu Bang want to jump out of the rebellion, it will not necessarily succeed, not to mention that now that gunpowder has been successfully developed, craftsmen are still constantly improving and building firearms, and there is a basis for fireworks, making a cannonball with great lethality is almost a matter of course.

In the face of hot weapons, all armies dominated by cold weapons are scum, unless there is really immortal magic in this world.

And the thermal weapon, Chen Xu will not be easy to take out, this is a technical reserve, and it is also the key to his prevention of the last step, for the nine-year catastrophe of Guiguzi, Chen Xu needs to make all the necessary preparations.

Half an hour later, Yingbu came to the Hou Mansion with his servants to meet Chen Xu, and Chen Xu also told him about recommending him to serve as a new-style horse pawn lieutenant under Jiang Hu.

"This is your chance to be knighted for meritorious service, if you are lucky and make great contributions, you will have beautiful relatives in the fiefdom of Shiyi, maybe you can become the main general of the first army, and it will not be in vain to follow me!"

"Thank you Lord Hou for your appreciation and recommendation!" Yingbu's excited face turned red, and he knelt on one knee on Chen Xu's face and bowed his hands to worship.

"Get up, the military camp is no better than the Academy of Sciences, where the military regulations are strict, the military law is harsh, after you go, you can't be arrogant and arrogant in the name of me, and when the time comes, you will be cut off if you violate the military regulations, no wonder I didn't tell you in advance!"

"Hou Ye rest assured, Yingbu will never embarrass Hou Ye, and this time he will definitely make meritorious contributions to Hou Ye's long face!" Yingbu excitedly stood up and said loudly.

"That's good, let's go and prepare, follow General Jiang Hu to set off in three days, last time I heard that your mother is pregnant, I will arrange someone to take care of the family affairs, don't be distracted!" Chen Xu waved his hand.

"Master Hou, Yingbu retires!" Yingbu excitedly said goodbye and left, strode out of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion, turned over and galloped away.

Looking at the back of Yingbu leaving, Chen Xu frowned slightly, and ordered to prepare a carriage to go out of the city and return to Qinghe Courtyard.

Yingbu said that Chen Xu couldn't see through it.

This person is not ambitious, but he is indeed very serious and responsible in the Academy of Sciences for half a year, but the so-called soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, and I hope to be able to dispel Yingbu's unrealistic ideas through meritorious service.

And Chen Xu also urgently needs to stick a nail in the army at the moment, in this era of the supremacy of force, there is no military force to rely on, once something unpredictable happens, it may not be able to protect the safety of himself and his family.

Daqin can fall, but the family has to live well one by one, and not a single maid can die!
