Chapter 577

Han Xin bowed, his body trembling.

Two divisions of ten thousand cavalry were under his command; this was a powerful combat force.

The utility of two divisions of ten thousand cavalry was immense.

This was a surprise force, provided it was utilized well.

As long as preparations were complete, he feared nothing!

The others looked at Han Xin with envy.

They felt this kid had truly stepped in dog shit; how could his luck be so good?

His Highness truly favored Han Xin.

Wang Li, however, did not mind in the slightest.

He was to follow His Highness back to Xianyang.

It was impossible to stay here in the Hetao region forever.

And he felt at ease leaving this division of ten thousand cavalry for Han Xin to lead.

Han Xin was someone he had brought into the fold; he could be considered his disciple.

Seeing his disciple show promise, he was also happy.

These two divisions of ten thousand cavalry would be Han Xin's foundation from now on.

As for how high or how far he could go, it entirely depended on Han Xin's own fortune.

All the basic conditions had been created; if he still couldn't make a name for himself, then that was just how it was.

Just then, a cavalryman galloped over from outside the camp.

"Report!"

A scout cavalryman rode his horse quickly toward them.

Only after approaching Ying Ying Zi Ye and the others did he pull on the reins.

"Your Highness, this is a handwritten decree from His Majesty, the Emperor."

The scout jumped down from his warhorse.

He bowed to Ying Ying Zi Ye.

With both hands, he presented a bamboo tube.

"You've worked hard."

Ying Ying Zi Ye was somewhat surprised.

Why would Brother Zheng send him a handwritten decree at this time?

But standing here talking wasn't the right thing to do.

"Your Highness, why not go to the main command tent to speak?"

Meng Tian spoke up, inviting him to the main command tent.

They were also curious about what His Majesty's decree said.

But it was not appropriate to pry into the contents.

Unless His Highness personally sought them out to tell them.

Ying Ying Zi Ye nodded and headed toward the main command tent.

Inside the border defense army's main command tent.

Ying Ying Zi Ye sat in the center seat.

Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Wang Li, and other generals had gathered here.

They all quietly looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye.

To be precise, they were looking at the Xuan paper he held in his hand.

A handwritten decree from His Majesty, the Emperor.

What news could be inside?

They were all very curious.

But no one spoke; they stood there quietly.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the contents on the Xuan paper.

After finishing the contents, he smiled indifferently.

He had wondered what it was about.

It turned out Brother Zheng had heard Chen Ping say on the Qilin Throne that he wanted to conscript soldiers.

Therefore, he had come to ask him what this was all about.

This made Ying Ying Zi Ye pause for quite a while.

He had mentioned this matter before.

Now it had been brought up by Chen Ping on the Qilin Throne.

The reason was to resolve a slight internal trouble for Great Qin.

Over a million corvée laborers had been disbanded and sent home or distributed to various places.

The drawbacks were now becoming apparent.

When there are many people, friction and riots will occur; this is a very normal thing.

Chen Ping was also right; conscripting soldiers could very well solve this problem.

He had mentioned the matter of conscripting soldiers when he was at the Great Qin Daily office.

He hadn't expected that such a simple sentence would be remembered by Chen Ping.

As expected of the Great Han's Chancellor and strategist Chen Ping; his ideas were all quite good.

This idea was indeed not bad—using conscription to resolve some minor chaos.

As long as this winter passed, Great Qin would have sufficient grain and full granaries, so even with conscription, there would be nothing to fear.

And it was indeed time to conscript soldiers.

Thinking of this, Ying Ying Zi Ye felt it was time to return to Xianyang.

It had been some time since he had gone back.

He truly missed the time in Xianyang City.

In this barren northern border, there was nothing to be found.

Xianyang City, as the most prosperous city in Great Qin, had everything one could want.
