"Jie Du Qin, why aren't you receiving the decree?!”
The decree messenger angel shouted loudly, causing Qin Hongyuan to snap out of his daze.
"I accept the decree!"
Qin Hongyuan quickly stepped forward and took the imperial edict from the angel. He opened it again and looked at it carefully. Yes, it was indeed a real imperial edict.
"Where is Chen An?"
the angel asked seriously.
Qin Hongyuan pointed to the north and said,""Prime Minister An is at the prefecture army camp on the outskirts of the city."
"Bring me there immediately!"
"Alright!"
Everyone immediately mounted their horses. Then, under Qin Hongyuan's guidance, they sped toward the military camp outside the city.
Suzhou. At the prefectural army camp.
In the camp, flags stood tall and the drums shook the sky.
On the Drill Ground.
Countless young and strong civilians were holding wooden spears and lined up under the whipping of whips.
"Stand up straight! Stand up straight!"
"Motherf * cker, what are you standing on?"
Pa!
The whip ruthlessly lashed on the peasant's body, causing him to let out a miserable scream.
"You still dare to scream?"
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The farmer did not dare to scream. He endured the pain and stood straight.
At this moment.
Chen An's shout came from the high platform,""Listen to my command, advance! One…"
With this childlike voice, the lined up commoners raised their right feet and took a step forward.
Pa!
Another whip landed on a civilian.
"The little prime minister shouted 'one', and' one 'means to use your right foot. Do you want to die by using your f * cking left foot? Take a step back and step forward again!"
Enduring the pain, the farmer took a step back and stepped forward with his right foot…
"Two!"
The team moved forward again.
"One, two, one…"
Chen An kept shouting the numbers and trained the laborers over and over again.
Since ancient times.
Farming people were always at a disadvantage against nomadic people.
After all, the grassland people were mostly cavalry, and their mobility was too high. They had grown up on horseback, and their horse-controlling skills were unparalleled.
And most of the Tang government soldiers were infantry.
Then how could he defeat the grassland cavalry with infantry that had low mobility?
The thousands of years of war on Earth told the answer.
There was only one answer.
That was, the military would be grouped and concentrated.
They would use the dense formation to solve the problem of the cavalry charging, and then use the long-range soldiers to deal with the enemy's long-range cavalry archers.
Whether it was the shooting distance or firepower density, the mounted archers were far inferior to the long-range infantry. However, the long-range infantry was extremely afraid of the cavalry's charge. Therefore, the long-range infantry under the protection of the dense formation became the best solution to deal with the enemy's long-range cavalry.
This was a valuable experience gained through countless bloody wars.
In history, the famous spear formation, the Great Tang Mo Saber Unit, and so on were all powerful proof.
It was a pity.
The Mo Blade was not easy to make, and it required good iron. Moreover, the Mo Saber Unit did not appear in Zhenguan, but a hundred years later.
Therefore, the spear and longbow formation became Chen An's only choice.
……
Outside the camp.
A group of winged cavalry warriors rushed over.
The messenger angel and Qin Hongyuan had arrived.
"Stop! This is the main camp of the prefecture soldiers. Dismount quickly and don't trespass!”
"How dare you! I'm the messenger of Chang 'an. Who dares to stop me? Get out of the way!"
The eunuch shouted and charged into the camp like a horse.
However…
"Ha!"
At this moment, a loud shout was heard.
The soldiers guarding the gate raised their spears in unison and pointed them diagonally at the newcomer.
"Minister An's military order: Those who trespass the camp will die!”
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Three loud shouts shook the surroundings.
Angel's expression was ugly.
Qin Hongyuan quickly stepped forward and said,""West River Regional Governor Qin Hongyuan has brought Chang 'an Angel to announce the decree. Please enter and inform Minister An."
"Wait!"
A soldier put away his spear and quickly ran into the camp at the back.
On the Drill Ground.
"Uh…the angel is here?"
"Yes, Minister An!"
"Alright, you guys continue practicing. I'm going to see the angel!"
"Understood!"
Chen An walked down the platform and followed the soldiers out of the camp.
At the entrance of the camp.
Seeing the little fellow walk out of the camp, the messenger angel heaved a sigh of relief.
Oh my god!
His Majesty had searched for several days and finally found this child.
"The emperor has issued an edict. Chen An, come forward to receive the edict!”
Chen An was speechless. He took a step forward silently.
He didn't say " I accept the decree " or " Long live the Emperor ". He just stood there quietly.
Seeing this scene, the angel was a little depressed, but she did not want to cause any more trouble.
As long as he could bring this little guy back to Chang 'an, he would have completed the imperial edict.
With this thought in mind, the angel unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud,"
" Emperor's edict: Chen An left his post without permission and left Chang 'an for no reason, causing the dragon to be furious. I have ordered 'Chen An' to return to the capital immediately without delay!”
"Chen An, why aren't you accepting the decree?"
Hearing the urging, Chen An raised his head and said lightly,""I don't accept the imperial edict!"
What?
The angel was shocked.
Qin Hongyuan was shocked.
The Golden Guards were shocked.
Even the soldiers guarding the door looked at the child prodigy in surprise.
There was actually someone in this world who dared not accept the imperial edict?
Oh my god!
That was the emperor's decree.
If he didn't accept it, wouldn't he be committing the crime of despising the emperor and be executed on the spot?
"You…Chen An, what did you say?”
The angel rubbed her ears, afraid that she didn't hear him clearly, so she quickly asked again.
"I said: I will not accept the edict!"
"Why?"
The angel was very confused.
This was the first time he had left the palace to announce an edict. Along the way, who didn't kowtow and pay their respects?
In the end, when it came to the little fellow, he dared not to accept it.
Oh my god, why is this?
"Because when a general is outside, he cannot accept the orders of the monarch. The Turkic army is about to attack the Hexi Road. As the Prime Minister of the Great Tang and the new manager of the Hexi Road, I am responsible for protecting the people, the mountains, and the rivers.”
Chen An said arrogantly.
The tender voice of a child resounded throughout the scene and in all directions.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyuan and the soldiers of the prefecture revealed a lot of respect and admiration.
What an unyielding young man!
For the sake of the eight prefectures west of the river, he was willing to take the crime of 'despising the emperor' and not accept the imperial edict.
If the Great Tang Dynasty was filled with ministers like the "Little An Minister", why would they worry about the dynasty not flourishing?
However…
At this moment, the angel was a little dumbfounded.
"Wait, what did you just say? The West River Chief? Since when did the West River Path have a general manager? Wasn't there only a provincial governor?”The angel asked with a confused expression.
Uh, did the baby spill the beans?
What should he do?
Chen An raised his little head and looked up at the sky, wanting to see what God would say.
Unfortunately, the heavens were speechless.
"Wait!"
At this time, Qin Hongyuan suddenly spoke,"Eunuch, what did you just say? There was no general manager in the West River Path, only a provincial governor? Then what about the official document from the Ministry of War that I received?”
The angel was even more stunned.
"What Ministry of War? What document?"
"Here!"
Qin Hongyuan quickly took out the official document from his sleeve and handed it to the angel.
He took a look.
The angel was shocked.
It really was a huge seal of the Ministry of War, and it even had a jade seal.
As a eunuch who delivered orders in the palace and a figure who held great power in the inner palace, this angel was extremely familiar with the jade seal.
Therefore, he only needed one glance to know that the jade seal was real.
It was almost identical to the imperial edict seal in his hand.
However…
It was exactly because they looked exactly the same that the angel was confused on the spot.
"Commandant Xu, has His Majesty recently been conferred the title of West River Road Manager? Did the Ministry of War issue another top-secret document recently?”
Commandant Xu of the Golden Guards was also very confused.
"I don't think so…right? It seems like…there is!"
"Do you have it or not?"
"This…this…I don't know. This is a secret matter of the court. I am only a lieutenant of the Jinwu Guards. My official position is low and I don't know much.”
The angel was speechless.
Chen An laughed secretly.
Hehe!
No one could tell if the baby's forged seal was real or fake except for the person involved.
At this moment, no one knew what would happen next.
It was a terrifying change that was about to sweep across the west of the river and the entire Great Tang Empire.
