In recent years, there have been many border conflicts between the Han Kingdom and the Apulian Empire, and a war between the East and the West is inevitable.
The Grand Commander of the First Regiment of the Imperial Guards was still Fan Kuai, and the Deputy Grand Commanders were still Xia Luqi and Gao Chong.
Although the warriors summoned by Sun Hao from the "Annual Signing System" are all over sixty years old, they are all in good health. Except for a few people whose combat power has declined slightly, the combat power of most warriors still remains at its peak.
Sun Hao looked at Fan Kuai, Xia Luqi, and Gao Chong riding on their warhorses, then turned to Crown Prince Sun Heng and said, "While these old guys are still able to fight, it would be best to eliminate the threat from the Western Continent as soon as possible."
Crown Prince Sun Heng nodded and said, "Your Majesty's thoughts coincide with mine. I have already ordered the Ministry of War to begin mobilizing large quantities of grain and fodder to Guanxi Province.
I, your son, will declare war on the Puglia Empire in the Western Continent next year."
After the establishment of provinces in the Han Dynasty, Sun Hao divided the Western Regions into two parts, setting up Guanxi Province and Guandong Province. Guanxi Province was adjacent to the western continent.
Sun Hao then said, "Since we're going to have to fight a war sooner or later, why not put the battlefield on the enemy's territory? This time, when we go to war with the Apulian Empire, I will personally lead the army."
When Crown Prince Sun Heng heard that Sun Hao was going to lead the army in person, he quickly said, "Father, I can lead the army. There is no need for you to lead the army in person."
Sun Hao smiled slightly: "Forget the trump card that the emperor told you. This time it's time for us father and son to show our trump cards."
On the night of Sun Hao's 60th birthday, Sun Hao revealed his biggest secret, the "annual signing system", to Crown Prince Sun Heng.
Ever since Sun Hao forced the Donglu tribe to surrender and returned to the capital, he has never left the capital again, nor has he used the "Hero Converter" to exchange for new generals of a hundred men.
But every January 1st, Sun Hao still gets a chance to sign an annual contract, and all the signed contracts can be used to exchange for the conversion value of Hundred Generals in the "Hero Converter".
Now, the "Hero Converter" has more than 10 billion conversion points. Even if all of them are exchanged for Hundred-Man Generals of the Great Snow Dragon Riders, it can be exchanged for 10 million Great Snow Dragon Riders.
With 10 million Snow Dragon Riders, the Han army is more than enough to sweep across the entire Western Continent.
Although Crown Prince Sun Heng found the "annual signing system" incredible, it could explain all the mysteries surrounding Sun Hao's rise.
Because even the mother of Crown Prince Sun Heng, Queen Zhen Luo, came from the "Annual Signature System", after Crown Prince Sun Heng learned the secret of the "Annual Signature System", he had even more trust in the powerful generals and centurions from the "Annual Signature System".
Crown Prince Sun Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, my great Han army is now composed of elite troops. Even without revealing my trump card, I am confident that I can defeat the Apulian Empire."
"I am not only prepared to defeat the Apulian Empire, I hope to turn the entire Apulian Empire into the territory of my great Han Dynasty!"
After the military parade, Sun Hao returned to the palace, while Crown Prince Sun Heng summoned the governors and deputy governors of each town who participated in the parade in a military tent on the parade ground.
In addition to the ten regiments of the Imperial Guard, only the six regiments of the Forbidden Army participated in the military parade.
The governors and deputy governors of these ten imperial guard towns, as well as the governors and deputy governors of the six forbidden army towns, are all powerful generals from the "annual signing system".
When Crown Prince Sun Heng saw that all the commanders and deputy commanders had arrived, he ordered the four leaders of his personal guards, "No one is allowed to approach within fifty steps of the military tent."
The four leaders of Crown Prince Sun Heng's personal guards were Li Yuanba's sons Li Tong and Li Bing, Xiang Yu's son Xiang Yu, and Li Cunxiao's son Li Yi.
Crown Prince Sun Heng has 5,000 Eastern Palace guards under his command. These Eastern Palace guards are basically descendants of the fierce generals and centurion generals of the "annual signing system".
As soon as the governors and deputy governors who entered the military tent saw the prince's posture, they knew that what he was going to say was definitely not a summary of today's military parade.
"My dear commanders, my father has agreed to declare war on the Apulian Empire next year, but he is going to lead the army himself." Crown Prince Sun Heng said slowly.
When the generals heard that the emperor was going to lead the army in person, they couldn't help but show expressions of shock. After all, Sun Hao had not been on the battlefield for more than 30 years. Even in the wars to destroy the states of Teng and Jin, Sun Hao only appointed Crown Prince Sun Heng to lead the troops.
Fan Kuai, the Grand Commander of the First Regiment of the Imperial Guard, frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, are you planning to wipe out the Apulian Empire all at once?"
Crown Prince Sun Heng nodded, "That's exactly what Father meant.
The commanders present here are not outsiders. They must all be aware of the emperor's methods. This time, the emperor wants to turn the entire Apulian Empire into the territory of the Han Dynasty. "
Yang Zaixing, the Grand Commander of the Fourth Regiment of the Imperial Guard, said with a smile, "Since Your Majesty wants to expand the territory, then we old guys can make use of our remaining energy.
Your Highness, our Imperial Guards Fourth Regiment must be included in this expedition."
As soon as Yang Zaixing finished speaking, other governors and deputy governors also asked Crown Prince Sun Heng for permission to join the expedition against the Apulian Empire.
Today, the territory of the Han Dynasty covers the entire eastern continent and all known islands.
Apart from the Western Continent, the Han State had no place to deploy its troops if it wanted to expand its territory.
This time, Sun Hao will personally lead the army to attack the Apulian Empire. This may be the last chance for these brave generals from the "annual signing system" to participate in the war.
Crown Prince Sun Heng said helplessly, "Since my father is planning to lead the army himself, it is not up to me to decide which troops to take with him.
