Li Kun and Qiu Yan, the king and minister, have also had contact with each other in the past four years, but this time they met, they each felt a little emotional. {3w.

Li Kun saw the pale face on Qiu Yan. Combined with the information in his hands, he already knew that Qiu Yan had "abolition" his cultivation. Unlike his son, the prince was just the crown prince after all. After leaving the Eastern Palace, he did not have much power, and there were very few ministers who were loyal to the prince. This was a taboo thing for the king, and not many people would do it.

Therefore, the prince did not know the reason why Qiu Yan looked pale, but Li Kun could not have known it. After receiving the news, his first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although I had long guessed that Qiu Yanzhi was not here, now, after seeing Qiu Yan's appearance with my own eyes, and having Eunuch Wei confirmed that Li Kun was truly relieved and knew that the last obstacle between the king and the minister was no longer there. From then on, the person in front of me would be the minister he trusted the most.

He also affirmed Qiu Yan's thoughts and knew that the other party's purpose was not power, status, or the purpose of Qiu Yan's power, status was different from ordinary people, so this would undoubtedly relieve the emperor.

After confirming what the information said and clarifying the thoughts, Li Kun’s smile on his face became even stronger and praised: “If I hadn’t stepped forward in this White Lotus Rebellion, the situation would be difficult to deal with.”

It is no small matter for the emperor to praise people. If you don’t say it, you will make up the credit. Even if it is on the spot, luck will come together.

However, these luck is already quite a lot for others, but for Qiu Yan today, it is still a drop in the bucket, but it is better than nothing.

Compared to luck, what Qiu Yan paid more attention to was the look displayed by the emperor, which was also what made him sigh.

In the palace, the strong dragon vein breath suppressed the extraordinary magical powers. It was not easy to look for, and Qiu Yan's cultivation was compressed into the Humane Bead. Even if his eyes were still there, he could see the luck of others through the human spirit and speculated that some thoughts could not resist the strong dragon qi after all, and he could only look at the complexion with his naked eyes.

The emperor looked good today, but he could still feel the weakness inside and his face was much older. What he showed in his eyes was a light that was too sharp, without any softness.

Rebirth.

This word appeared in my heart. Qiu Yan already understood that the Supreme Emperor in front of him was actually all over the edge of being exhausted. Fortunately, he had already made some arrangements two years ago, and could expect the emperor's life span and send some special cultivation seeds. It could extend the time.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan was replying to the emperor's inquiry.

Li Kun was very interested in Qiu Yan's method of judging in the battle of Pinglian, and kept asking about the details. Whenever he learned about it, he felt that Qiu Yan was as imaginary as a god, and his military skills were so sophisticated that even the evil spirit of the military formation could not be confused.

"In that situation, Qiu Qing not only did not retreat. Instead, he led his troops to fight. He was really brave. If he could force the enemy to retreat, he would be considered a great victory. If he could protect a city, he would be safe, but he would not be as brave as his beloved. However, many famous generals in ancient times had been in danger before they could become famous. Otherwise, they would only be a temporary general. There were many famous battles that had been passed down through the ages, which could be turned into impossible and could be passed down through later generations. With five thousand soldiers and horses, he defeated hundreds of thousands of enemies. This reputation in later generations is probably not even comparable to that of me. Being able to win Qiu Qing is indeed my blessing, and it is even more of a great blessing!"

If you say this from the emperor's mouth, if it were someone else, you will inevitably feel that the emperor began to worry about his ministers and was shocked by the emperor and became determined to kill.

But Qiu Yan looked as usual and replied, "It is actually a lucky thing to be able to accomplish this. However, the army I trained is not in the calculations of the White Lotus Sect, so it can accomplish things..."

As soon as he answered, it seemed like an old friend was talking, but when Qiu Yan said this, he changed his subject: "As for the theory of defeating hundreds of thousands of enemies, it is actually a rumor. Even if the White Lotus Sect has magic, how can there be a hundred thousand troops? The number of people in charge of fighting is only 100,000, and the number of officers and soldiers who had to surrender was not established. Once the situation was unfavorable, it might not be a combat power, but instead it would become an enemy's hindrance and disrupt the enemy's position. Moreover, even the direct troops of the White Lotus Sect are distributed in various places. You only need to defeat them one by one. The number of enemies you face each time is always within a limit."

In this era, there have been considerations about the width of the battlefield. After all, marching and fighting is not stacking people. In a limited battlefield and terrain, stacking too many soldiers and horses will make the army itself bloated, which will affect the command system. It is often impossible to take care of each other at the beginning and end, so there is a chance to break the more with less.

Since ancient times, famous generals who can defeat the enemy from time to time generally have special command methods that can connect the entire army.

But these truths are hard to explain clearly to the emperor for a while, because he has no similar experience, and what the dynasty led by the emperor needs to do is to ensure the logistics of the army, so the generals in the front sometimes intend to mislead ministers in the court who do not know the military. In this way, they can continuously receive military pay, materials and military equipment.

In fact, in the battle of Bailian, Qiu Yan's real reliance was to be able to execute his orders after several years of special training, and to be able to perform his orders, and to explore the enemy's situation all over the world. In addition, many humanitarian spirits and magical means combined, they can achieve such a battle result. These factors gathered on him, which is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, how can anyone else get it?

However, when talking to the emperor, those who designed magical powers could only mention them implicitly, and skip them for the taboos, but talk more about them.

Li Kun didn't care, he just asked about the affairs of the army. However, the prince's face changed constantly.

He followed Qiu Yan's message and entered the palace. When he first came here, he was still angry and felt that he was informed by Qiu Yan and he could not help but complain. But in fact, the prince was very clear that even if Qiu Yan didn't say it, he was not far from when he returned to the palace. Even if the emperor would not cut off the opportunity of the crown prince's contact with the people, he would not let him stay outside for too long.

On the other hand, before the emperor's special envoy arrived, Qiu Yan had made a decision in advance and sent someone to inform the palace before talking to the prince. This matter can be said to be handled without any leakage, and it was a kind of marching and fighting, and predicting the enemy first. Even the prince felt extraordinary.

Originally, he had a sense of superiority of his bloodline and identity. After all, he was flattered for several years and grew up in the palace. He was young and had a strong heart and could not be judged by his adult heart. This shows that Qiu Yan was angry and looked down at the thoughts no longer visible. Instead, the illusion that he was controlled was the illusion.

This kind of control is like feeling in front of the father.

Now, when the prince heard Qiu Yan's narration of the march, many seemingly ordinary actions and the things contained behind it, the prince could vaguely see the bloody storm. Qiu Yan's expression was calm, as if the amazing behavior was nothing. In this way, the prince gradually brought a hint of awe to Qiu Yan's eyes.

"It's really interesting to fight," the emperor sighed, "But I can't do this kind of thing. Thanks to you, my dear, if you have the ability or not, you will definitely not have the courage, let alone the vision as far as you can."

While speaking, Li Kun picked up a memorial from the table, shook it for a while, and continued: "The elite troops you trained were used by several major military towns to fight for it. The Ministry of War was already in trouble. It was impossible to stop it. Even if it was suppressed, it would not retreat depending on the intentions of those military governors, but it had created a problem for me."

He was talking about the problem, but with a smile on his face, which was obviously a very happy trouble.

The five thousand soldiers and horses trained by Qiu Yan were all in the limelight in the battle to pacify the White Lotus Sect, and their reputations have been confirmed in history. Even if they were passed down to later generations, they would become an allusion of winning with less. Such an army was not available at all times.

Qiu Yan, a civil servant, led the emperor's order to take charge of the side and command such a military force, would be fine when he was controlling his military and political affairs, but it would not last long. Therefore, the Bailian chaos subsided slightly, and the court impatiently summoned Qiu Yan back.

Qiu Yan left, but the elite soldiers he trained could not leave, because they were not a private soldier, so they could not continue to stay under Qiu Yan's control.

In this way, such a soldier immediately became a fragrant bun. I don’t know how many generals, and the military town wanted to get it, so they even did not hesitate to tear each other apart and used magic tricks just to get the soldiers.

"Four years ago, my dearly trained a iron-blooded army for Darui on the grassland. Now there are also these elite soldiers who are one hundred. These two soldiers, one of them has made contributions to killing the enemy in the northern border, and the other has quelled the disasters in Jiangnan. In the future, it will support the mainstay of the Darui army. With the military governance method implemented by my dearly in Jiannan, it is enough to be the foundation for future stability!"

Li Kun had a high opinion of the two soldiers and horses that Qiu Yan had once commanded, and the words revealed a deeper meaning. The purpose was to use these two soldiers and horses - mainly the five thousand soldiers who had just quelled the White Lotus Rebellion as bargaining chips and seeds to prepare for the coming military system innovation.

Qiu Yan frowned slightly and reminded: "Your Majesty, you can't be too hasty about this."

"I have a clear idea of ​​this," Li Kun nodded and smiled. "In the past two years, I have taken medicinal food every day. The ingredients are the seeds brought by my dear friend. My body has indeed improved. Recently, my spirit has gradually improved. I should still see the arrival of the prosperous era of Darui. However, things in the world are impermanent, but I can't rest assured, so..."

Speaking of this, Li Kun's eyes turned and fell on the prince. His eyes turned softer. He pointed at the latter and said, "I will still count on him in the future. I will ask Qiu Qing for the responsibility of teaching the prince."

After these words, facing the emperor's gaze, Qiu Yan shook his head unexpectedly. (To be continued...)
