He Qi led a group of military generals to welcome the imperial envoy in the court.

Duke Jingguo was a military general in the army. Although he was over 60 years old, he was still energetic. As soon as he met, He Qi bowed his hands first.

Duke Jingguo smiled and had a very friendly attitude: "General He is a heroic young man and has made great contributions, which is gratifying."

Ye Lingyun, the grandson of Duke Jingguo, was close friends and He Qi. In terms of calculation, he was two generations older than He Qi.

However, in the court, the official position was discussed. He Qi made great achievements in his military affairs and was deeply loved by the holy family. At this age, Duke Jingguo would retire in a few years. One was the rising sun and the other was the setting sun.

Duke Yasukuni sighed in his heart, and his smile became more and more intimate.

He Qi was not too modest and said with a smile: "I will not hide it from Duke Jingguo. Since I killed Yuan Silan a few years ago, I have secretly sworn that I must completely defeat the Tatars."

"I finally live up to the emperor's high expectations and the dead soldiers. After this great victory, the Tatar cavalry died or were either captured. Only one or two of them actually fled back to the pass. They completely damaged their vitality. They would no longer be able to invade the border for at least ten years."

"I have written a memorial to the emperor, and I just sent it out two days ago. I plan to reorganize the military camp and send troops out of the customs."

What?

Do you still have to send troops out of the customs?

Duke Jingguo was shocked and looked at He Qi suddenly: "In this battle, the border troops suffered heavy casualties, and the court must raise pensions. The national treasury is empty and he is unable to support the war within three years."

He Qi thought carefully and had a plan: "After this war, the border army captured more than 20,000 war horses and other weapons and food. I plan to send 10,000 soldiers out of the customs and let them bring two months of food and food to fight for war."

Fight to support the war.

In just four short words, there is a strong smell of blood.

Duke Jingguo was also a veteran general in the army. He knew He Qi's plan as soon as he heard it, so he took a breath.

There are not only Tatars outside the pass, but also many nomadic tribes. He Qi intends to send troops to sweep the outside of the pass, rob those who can rob and kill those who can kill. It greatly weakens the combat power falling outside the pass.

"The Tatar cavalry was defeated, but there are other tribes outside the pass. Once they take advantage of the situation, they will become a major concern for our Great Chu." A cold light flashed in He Qi's eyes: "I have no intention of making wedding dresses for others."

"The outside of the pass is now a mess, and I can send 10,000 soldiers. Maybe one or two years, maybe three or five years, or ten or eight years. One day, I will include all the land outside the pass into the territory of Great Chu. Let them bow their heads and convince the emperor!"

The last two sentences are decisive and exciting.

Duke Jingguo was speechless. After a while, he sighed: "The young man is unparalleled and full of ambitions. I am indeed old!"

He Qi's expression calmed down and he laughed: "I have submitted a memorial and I have to wait for the emperor to agree."

How could Emperor Xuanping refuse to agree?

The court can still take out ten thousand soldiers and two months of food and supplies. After going outside the pass, they will use war to support the war. If He Qi's plan is successful, the territory of Da Chu will be extended to outside the pass in a few years.

To take a step back, these 10,000 soldiers will fail and will be at most retreated to the barracks. The border troops will not be damaged.

Duke Yasukuni thought for a moment and laughed: "I came here this time to verify my military merits. At least I have to stay in the army for a few months. It just so happens to see what kind of soldiers you want to choose to go outside the pass."

He Qi had a good idea in his heart and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then please wait and see."

...

A month later, the court issued an imperial edict and approved He Qi's request.

After receiving the order, He Qi immediately summoned all the generals of the three armies to come and announce the matter: "...I plan to use a month to draw brave soldiers from each barracks and re-form a battalion. This battalion will be directly under my command. Each person will be given a double horse. Before leaving the customs, each person will pay a year's military salary. If he dies outside the pass, he will pay double the pension for the family."

"If you can come back alive, I will write a memorial for you to ask for me!"

The generals were excited when they heard this and asked to lead their troops out of the customs.

As a military general, who doesn’t have the dream of making achievements and expanding territory in his heart?

Of course this matter is dangerous. However, if it is really successful, it may be a marquis.

He Qi's eyes flashed across everyone's faces and said in a deep voice: "I don't need to say anything about the dangers of leaving the customs, you all know it in your heart."

"There are hundreds of people outside the gate, and thousands of people in large tribes. Moreover, the shortfall is outside the gate, the elderly, weak, women and children can also get on horseback and shoot arrows, and everyone can hold a knife to kill people."

"It is not easy to support the war. If you are not careful, you will die. This is to hold your head and fight to the death. I will give you three days. If you think it through, you will sign up with me."

The generals refused to retreat and said, "General, it doesn't take three days. I will sign up now."

"Yes, I'm going there too!"

He Qi felt passionate, but his face was calm: "You guys retreat first. I will also think about it for three days."

The generals retreated one after another.

He Zhi stood in the corner without moving.

After all the generals left, He Qi walked up to He Qi. The two brothers looked at each other.

He Zhi opened his mouth and said, "Third brother, I'll go."

Before He Qi could open his mouth, He Qi continued: "I have been in the border army for ten years and have been in the scout camp. I often lead troops out of the pass and am most familiar with the terrain outside the pass. Moreover, I can speak Tatar and the language of several tribes."

The scouts often disguised themselves as they tried to find out the news. He Qi learned the language of all the large tribes outside the pass over the years.

He Zhi continued: "Only the third-rank military generals in the army are qualified to lead the first battalion of soldiers. I was originally a fifth-rank official, but this time, I was promoted to three levels in a row based on military merits. I am also qualified to lead the troops."

He Qi looked at He Qi with a firm face and whispered: "Second cousin, it's very dangerous to lead troops out of the pass to support the war..."

"I'm not afraid of death!" He Qi interrupted.

He Qi frowned: "I know you are not afraid of death, but you should also think about your second cousin and Brother Quan."

"It is for their mother and son that I should go even more." He Qi looked calm and said resolute: "Third brother, I made a big mistake back then. No matter how angry my father was, he did not give up on my son. He took me to the border military camp."

"The scout camp is the most dangerous military camp among the border troops. I was injured many times, and the worst one was almost killed."

"In recent years, I have been taking on the most dangerous tasks regardless of life and death. Because I want to make more military achievements, clear my mistakes back then, and make my wife and children stand up straight and behave as a human being."

A trace of water flashed in He Feng's eyes, but his voice did not choke.

Years of war have wiped out all his cowardice. He has become an excellent general of the border army, like a treasure sword.

The knife is in the sheath, and the light is completely restrained. The knife is unsatisfied with its sharpness!
