Chapter 160: Expedition

Big Week.

I think that back then, there were also first-class powerhouses around this Great Qin.

However, because of the appearance of Xu Wei and the participation of those famous generals under him, the full power of the year was beaten into a country that was not in the middle.

It can be said that if there was no Great Qin, the current Zhou Empire, even if it was not a second-grade empire, would be about the same.

Not to mention that they have a rich heritage, they are also strong, even now, it seems to be a medium-sized three-grade empire, but the potential and strength contained in it are completely terrifying.

At this point, Xu Yan's choice of the Great Zhou is actually unwise, even if he chooses the Song Empire, which is the current empire at the peak of the three grades, it is still easier than the Great Zhou.

After all, the Song Empire is certainly just as strong, but compared with this Great Zhou, it is still a little worse.

In the entire surroundings of Great Qin, except for the Zhao Empire, which Great Qin has always been a mortal enemy, as long as the other empires can mobilize the strength of the country, it is not very difficult to destroy it.

It's a pity that it was difficult for Great Qin to do this, so that Xu Yan finally chose an empire that was not weak, but not too strong.

Although their background is very rich, this Great Zhou is still cautious compared to other empires, so it can give Xu Yan a chance.

You know, the more cautious people are, the more difficult it is to do anything earth-shattering, and the same is true of this empire, the strength of the Great Zhou is in the background, but it is precisely that the biggest shortcomings are also in the background.

Because they are the same as Great Qin, there are many clans, and various forces are emerging in the empire one after another, and they are not even united, such an empire, you can't say it if you don't bully it.

Moreover, by virtue of their background, all kinds of family lords have always wanted to invade this Great Qin, and the huge Great Zhou back then was because of the war launched privately, which led to the current decline to an ordinary empire among the third rate.

Over the years, the border between the frontier and the Great Qin has been at war, trying to get benefits from it, and the first thing Xu Yan thought of must be this Great Zhou.

"Okay, then let's go to Da Zhou, just during this time, they occupied our four cities, and even killed all the displaced people in these four cities, so the empire, it's time to beat it. The old man was very happy and directly agreed to Xu Yan's request.

After all, this time Daqin was already full of thoughts about starting a war.

The entire court is mostly old men in Yiyantang, and war is inevitable.

My son wanted to go to Da Zhou, so he let her go.

"I'll give you two battalions and appoint you as the deputy general of the Southern Third Army, but you don't need to listen to the commander-in-chief, if you can stop everyone's mouths, the Southern Third Army, after a period of time, you will be the commander. After weighing the pros and cons several times, the old man came up with such a compromise.

He knew that his son would not be afraid even if he faced the real Jindan monk now, and it was unknown who would win and who would lose on both sides.

But this kind of cultivation, without much military exploits, as a general of an army, it is still impossible to serve the public.

The general of any army is already regarded as a general of the third grade, and although he Xu Yan is a noble His Royal Highness King Yu, this war is not a child's play, and it is not something that can be influenced by identity.

Doing this, in fact, the old man has already given enough to Xu Yan.

The two large battalions, no matter which one of them, have about 40,000 people, although they are only one-third of the South Third Army, but they have the right to be independent, which is extremely valuable.

The old man knows better than anyone else that with his son's talents, he can lead a large battalion and become a general, which cannot display all his talents.

Only then did he come up with such a method, which was not only an insult to the noble status of His Royal Highness King Yu, but also allowed him to display his ambitions, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

"If this is the case, will it be difficult for the commanders of the three southern armies to have no opinions?" Xu Yan was most worried about the internal discord between the generals.

If that were the case, it would be hard to imagine the outcome.

An army, when it is fighting, is internally discordant, and this can definitely be said to be an unthinkable thing.

Even he didn't want to see that happen.

"Don't worry, the commander of the Southern Third Army is a subordinate of Zongwei back then, and he is loyal to me, this time, I will make it clear to him. Obviously, he is also thinking about this, and if this continues, Xu Yan will have nothing to say.

The commander of the first army, as long as he can really convince the public, then there is more room to play in the future.

Although this time there are four armies going to the Great Zhou together, but it is four different places, if you can join forces here and truly enter the hinterland of the Great Zhou, then you will definitely be the only one among the princes, and truly establish absolute majesty.

"Also, I'll let you go with two Ouchi masters to protect your safety. The old man still said with some anxiety, this is the main problem.

If one of the princes of Daqin went to the battlefield, but fell on the battlefield, not to mention that he, who was Lao Tzu, would be completely sad, even to Daqin, this would be a great loss.

"No, this time, I don't want anyone to protect your safety. But before Xu Wei finished speaking, Xu Yan directly and categorically refused.

Just kidding, he went this time, not only to establish his majesty, but also to experience his strength.

If you want to break through in such a war, this is his biggest goal, if there is a master behind him, what can he worry about?

If it goes on like that, everything will deviate from Xu Yan's preset track before, and such a thing will never be allowed to happen.

"Oh, you're a big kid. Xu Wei naturally heard what Xu Yan meant.

But the worry in those eyes intensified.

Sincerely, he didn't want to see his son in danger, but it was inevitable.

I can bless Xu Yan for a period of time, even before I die, but when I really fall, can I still bless this kid?

Obviously, no, even so, although it can reassure him whether he is blessed or not now, but the degree of real importance is not high.

Seeing Xu Yan's categorical refusal, he admired his son's courage very much, and similarly, the worry in his heart never let go.

"Don't worry, this time, I'll bring you a new Yu King. Xu Yan is full of confidence, no matter what, he only needs to be really careful, in his eyes, some arrogant generals in the Great Zhou may not be able to kill themselves.

After withdrawing from the palace, Xu Yan returned to the palace as soon as possible to arrange things.

In any case, in many cases, he was unable to prevent the unexpected from happening.

This time, the old man was obviously in a hurry for some reason.

Therefore, the day of his expedition was also set in these few days.

The prince went on an expedition, and this was still a newly canonized prince, which was a very big enough thing.

The reactions of all parties were very fierce, and even several other Xu Yan's brothers attacked one after another the next day, demanding to meet His Majesty to fight against the emperor.

However, how many of them are sincere, and who else must show their posture, this old man can see clearly.

After reprimanding those Xu Yan's brothers, there was no follow-up.

The prince's participation in these wars is an inspiring effect.

However, this card can be played, but it is not the time, the reason why Xu Yan can be approved is that he has a comprehensive plan, and the other princes do not have such a plan, at most it is just a statement.

It's obviously not the right time for them to go on the expedition at this time.

For these, those princes naturally knew in their hearts, and after expressing themselves, there was no follow-up.

That is, the third Xu Tianfeng, has always insisted on going on the expedition, and even knelt down on the top of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After getting the permission given by the old man to go on the expedition in a year, this can be regarded as a satisfactory departure.

Obviously, it is difficult for others to see the opportunity in this, but Xu Tianfeng can see it at once.

If you don't get involved, with Lao Qi's ability, it is very likely that he will be outstanding in the later stage, in that case, in the battle for succession, his disadvantages will be very obvious.

Now it seems that the battle for the heir will start in two years, but according to the current form, it will definitely be postponed, during this period, the place where the most majestic and powerful can be established is obviously the army, military merit, this is the highest glory of the Great Qin Empire.

On the premise of knowing this, even if Xu Tianfeng knew that he would be in danger, how could he give up such a great opportunity?

One step at a time, one step at a time.

Some of the advantages he had just achieved were taken by Xu Yan into the barracks one step ahead in a blink of an eye, and in his heart, it was called a depression.

Now, I can only fantasize about completely getting rid of the forces here in the capital during this year, completely suppressing Xu Yan in the part of the capital and the civil officials, and then going out to fight for Xu Yan, so that it is possible to be invincible.

The battle between the princes has always been the main theme of this Great Qin, and if you don't solve some problems, the result will be conceivably terrifying.

Even he couldn't guarantee what kind of frightening outcome it would be in the future.

This is something that the third child absolutely does not want to see, so he must participate in it.

"Two battalions, Your Majesty is really generous, tomorrow is going to go on the expedition, Your Highness, do you have any plans? Xiao Miao, who had been following Xu Yan, heard the news, and that kind of smiling expression appeared on his face.

All along, my dream has finally come true.

For scholars, to display their ambitions, this is something more tempting than adding an official to a knighthood.
