Qiao Yunting was smart and understood immediately what Qiao Xin meant.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became!
"Mother, I knew I was right to find you!"
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm just talking about it on paper. In actual operation, you have to consider a lot of things. Don't be reckless.
Your every move involves the lives and property of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Also, no matter which place you conquer, don’t completely trust the local noble families!”
Qiao Yunting sneered, "Son, I know it. It was because they stood by and watched that Yanmen and Pingcheng fell so quickly.
Wasn’t the commander of Pingcheng born into a local wealthy family, and he surrendered in order to preserve his strength?
I'm afraid he never thought until his death that the Northern Rong would first use the heads of his people as a memorial stone!"
He only had 100,000 troops, so he couldn't take them all away. He had to leave at least 20,000 to defend the city! As for the people guarding the city, was there anyone better than his mother?
This is also the ultimate purpose of his visit this time.
"Mother, after my son leaves the city, everything in Jiangcheng will be handed over to you!"
Qiao Xin spat out all the tea in her mouth!
She looked at Qiao Yunting in disbelief and said, "Leave it to me, are you kidding me? Not to mention that there are many soldiers around you who want to make meritorious deeds.
Even if we take a step back, there is still Liu Heng. It is not my turn! Even if you hand over the military power to me, those people below may not be convinced! "
"Liu Heng has never led an army. Only Wang Dagui, Yuan Jinhong, and Zhang Hu can lead an army independently. They all have their own missions in this expedition against the Northern Rong. Pei Xinyuyuan is responsible for the logistics and food supply, so he can't get away either.
You brought up my brother and I, so it's not your fault if you say someone is incompetent.
Lingshu is already able to lead soldiers to fight independently in big brother's team, there is no reason why you can't!
Everyone has heard about your efforts to suppress bandits in Weizhou Prefecture and Yuncheng.
Even if some individuals are not convinced, I believe that my mother can convince them with her virtue!
Mother, Jiangcheng is my son's rear base. I can only feel at ease if I leave it to you. As for Liu Heng, let him be your deputy! Let him do the errands and offend people!"
Qiao Xin laughed and scolded: "You are so openly calculating against him, aren't you afraid that he will come after you!"
"What are you afraid of? His Majesty originally asked him to come and help us. How can we let him have nothing to do? Besides, I asked for your help with His Majesty's approval."
Qiao Yunting pulled out a scroll from his sleeve and placed it in Qiao Xin's hand.
Qiao Xin was very familiar with that thing. She had several of Emperor Wu's edicts in her room!
Well, in that case, she would not refuse. In this life, she had the opportunity to defend her country with a sword. So she should make good use of it.
What are Yanmen and Yunzhong? She wants the entire Hedong and the Hetao area, so that the Beirong will never be able to get involved in Dajing again!
As soon as Qiao Yunting left, Qiao Xin took action.
She used her only ten merit points to awaken the long-dormant system in her brain.
"Are you still breathing? Squeak, if you're not dead then get back to work!"
The system hasn't received any energy for a long time, so it's hanging on in a half-dead state.
After getting ten merit points, he finally calmed down. After hearing Qiao Xin's instructions clearly, he immediately protested.
"Host, have you forgotten that I am from the agricultural system? Fighting is the responsibility of the hegemony system."
“Since ancient times, the military and agriculture have been inseparable. Wars are fought for logistics and food. Where do these things come from? Aren’t they all provided by agriculture?
The sooner the war ends, the sooner agriculture can be vigorously supported, so that more people can have enough food and clothing, and your agricultural system can earn more energy. I can also go home soon!
You see, as long as Dajing cannot achieve great unification, no matter how hard we work, it will all be in vain.
How can we farm well in a world that is torn apart? Are all our previous efforts in vain? "
Qiao Xin was trying to fool people in a serious manner, but the system, which had been hungry for a long time, actually listened to it!
In fact, it’s not his fault. Qiao Xin has made so much effort, but the energy value obtained is not ideal. Places like Laohu Town are not as stable as they were at the beginning.
Why? Because we are recruiting soldiers and fighting wars every day. Everyone has no sense of security. After today, we dare not think about tomorrow.
In troubled times, people's hearts are no longer the same as before. There is nothing that can be done about it.
Unless a stable environment is created!
Isn't this what the host is going to do next?
The system compromised and asked: "What do you want to do, host?"
"Start your weather forecast and predict the climate changes in Jiangcheng, Xincheng, and Yunzhong in the next ten days!"
"In exchange for merit points, you've been playing slack for too long, and now you don't have any!"
"Didn't I just pay you ten?"
"Well....."
If you want to embezzle, there is no way!
"Host, let me remind you that wars will kill people. The more people die, the more karma you will have. If you exceed a certain amount, you can't go back even if you die!
But you can provide more agricultural services and keep more people well fed and clothed to offset these causes and effects!"
Thank you so much for reminding me. No wonder even after doing so many good deeds over the years, she still hasn’t accumulated much merit. It turns out that the lives of the bandits she killed were also counted on her!
What a “public and private” dog system!
Qiao Xin got the weather changes in the past ten days, asked someone to send a copy to Qiao Yunting, and then started to make arrangements.
Jiangcheng must fight quickly and decisively, they can't afford to waste time!
The imperial court only gave 20,000 soldiers and horses, and this was obtained through the efforts of the pro-war factions such as Xiaoyao Hou and the Prince.
If Jiangcheng expands its military forces, then the armies currently fighting in the south will also need people, and the troops defending Xiling in the northwest will also need some troops, because Dajing is surrounded by enemies.
What is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth!
Even if there are 100,000 troops now, after being divided up like this, there won't be many left when it's their turn!
After Qiao Xin received the secret order from Emperor Wu, he began to recruit soldiers on his own!
The closer we get to the war stage, the more important public opinion and propaganda work becomes.
The first thing she had to do was to use various means to make the people in the peaceful areas of Dajing realize that the war was not just a matter for the people on the border, but was closely related to each of them.
If the skin is gone, where will the hair attach to?
Once the Beirong cavalry breaks through Jiangcheng's defenses, the northern part of Dajing will inevitably be devastated again. No one will be unaffected, and what awaits everyone will be a situation where the mountains and rivers are in shattered pieces and the wind is blowing the catkins.
In the past, Southern Liang and Dongyi might have been a retreat for some people.
But now all these escape routes are gone. Surrounded by tigers and wolves, the only way to survive is to fight back!
