"Anyone who has more than three years of military training can be directly recorded in the register. Tomorrow morning, prepare to go to Xianyang in Guanzhong.”
After reading out the declaration of war issued by the central government, to be exact, it was a military recruitment decree. Xiao He was in a good mood as he spoke loudly.
Judging from the current recruitment situation and the speed of assembly, the imperial court was not bluffing, but really declaring war on Jizi (early moon) Xian.
"Lord Xiao, I didn't have the chance in the past. Count me in this time.”
A figure with a relatively loud voice and steady steps appeared in front of him. It was Zhou Yafu's father, Zhou Bo. He was considered a valiant general in history.
"Brother Zhou Bo, think carefully before you make a decision. You are the only one left in the family.”
Seeing that it was Zhou Bo, whom he was so familiar with that he could speak a few words of truth, Xiao He tried to persuade him out of the kindness of a good friend.
"A real man should make contributions, it's better than being a drummer.”
Understanding his good friend's good intentions, Zhou Bo thought of his current predicament and could only smile bitterly.
In the past, there was no chance to appear. The imperial court just happened to have a need to recruit soldiers, so it might be an opportunity to stand out.
"Alright, I'll respect your decision.”
Hearing this, Xiao He understood Zhou Bo's determination and gave up on persuading him.
"Moreover, the Imperial Court declared war on Jizi (Zaoyue) Xian. How can we men sit idly by?”
Zhou Bo raised his voice and said firmly,"
Jizi (Zaoyue) Xianyi was too arrogant and actually asked the imperial court for some territory. If he did not participate in the battle, it would be a pity.
"Good. I am fortunate that Brother Zhou Bo has such ambition.”
Xiao He could hear the sincerity in his words, and the smile on his face grew wider. He was happy to have such a good friend.
Everyone had their own selfish motives. However, before the big issue of right and wrong, it was most important to be united against the outside world.
"This is a temporary certificate. We will gather at the military camp in the suburbs today and set off for Xianyang tomorrow morning.”
As he spoke, Xiao He took out a small wooden token and reminded him.
"Farewell, Lord Xiao."
He didn't know when he would return, and his life and death were uncertain. Zhou Bo then cupped his fists and bid a very solemn farewell.
"Alright, I'll wait for Brother Zhou Bo to bring glory to his ancestors before returning to Pei County.”
Putting down the pen in his hand, Xiao He did the same thing and said," Take care of yourself."
"Take care!"
Zhou Bo looked around at the familiar surroundings and then at his best friend. He turned around and walked towards the military camp in the suburbs.
"The war against Jizi (Zaoyue) Xian was initiated by His Majesty. It was really a good way to gather the hearts of the people.”
"Perhaps in Your Majesty's hands, Great Qin can really rise from the dead and reverse the situation.”
Looking at Zhou Bo's departing figure, Xiao He sighed softly and muttered to himself.
Putting aside the drawbacks left behind by the First Emperor, before the Son of Heaven completely took power, the chances of chaos were not high at all.
Great Qin's unyielding declaration of war had given them a rare moment to breathe, and the internal conflicts had been resolved.
"Lord Xiao, why did you say that you can turn the situation around?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man who looked quite capable walked up to him. He was Cao Can, who was originally ranked second in history.
"Then tell me, what factors do we need to completely improve Great Qin?”
Knowing that it was another good friend, Xiao He turned around and spoke the truth.
He was both a good friend and a subordinate under his jurisdiction. His ability to govern the country was not bad, and he also had a strong martial force.
"Only a decisive and wise Emperor can turn Great Qin's situation around.”
There was nothing between the two sides that could not be said. Cao Can thought for a moment and replied seriously.
Even though the First Emperor had great talent and great strategy, he had left behind many problems, and Great Qin could be said to have been ignited with a single spark.
"What do you think will happen internally after the imperial court declared war on Jizi (Zaoyue) Xian?”
Xiao He didn't tell his good friend and subordinate the truth directly. He smiled and deliberately asked.
If Great Qin wanted to avoid destruction or start a peaceful era, they had to deal with all of its internal problems.
"Isn't it just recruiting soldiers from all over the country, gathering people who have more than three years of military training, and all of them shouting to kill Jizi (early moon) Xian?”
"Wait!"
As he spoke, Cao Can suddenly realized something and shouted," Wait!"
“………”
Seeing the scene of enlightenment, Xiao He still did not explain. Instead, he waited for the rest of the story.
"Under the circumstances of unity against the outside world, all internal unstable factors will be temporarily transferred to Jizi (Early Moon) Fresh..."
"Now, Great Qin will have a precious period of time to catch its breath, which can be used to resolve the conflict.”
Even though his reaction was much slower than Xiao He's, Cao Can, who had been guided by Xiao He, showed his initial ability to govern the country.
"That's right. Judging from the style of the flag sacrifice and declaration of war, it was most likely directly instructed by the current emperor.”
Hearing that Cao Can finally reacted, Xiao He nodded and told him the truth.
Although he had never verified it, everything that had happened from the sand dune incident to now must have been the work of Tian Zi.
"However, His Majesty has just ascended the throne not long ago and does not have a civil and military team. It is unlikely that he has the right to speak.”
Hearing that it was the emperor, Cao Can was shocked at first, but then he shook his head and denied.
The Son of Heaven did not have much prestige, did not have a usable civil and military team, and faced the civil and military officials of the founding of the country. It was not easy to gain power.
"If it weren't for His Majesty, do you think any emperor would have splashed his blood on the Wei River on the day he ascended the throne and used the envoys of Jizi (early moon) to sacrifice the flag?”
Xiao He wasn't annoyed by this, but asked a question instead.
" You're really thoughtful. It's indeed in line with His Majesty's style, but it's too terrifying. How long has it been…"
Cao Can suddenly recalled the time it had been since the emperor ascended the throne, and a wave of shock surged in his heart. Such a move could not be described as terrifying.
One had to know that the road to power was bound to face the first obstacle. A group of founding civil and military officials with outstanding military achievements could not be played without a strong mind.
