"Since Xu Shu has already led his troops to the east, I'll leave all the matters in the five armies to you.”
"Those who don't obey will be killed without mercy.”
"Men, bestow the Qin Sword."
Ying Fei looked at the commander of the Central Army, Zhangsun Sheng, and waved his hand.
A servant beside him handed the Mugong Qin Sword hanging on the rack to Zhangsun Sheng.
"What?"
Zhangsun Sheng was shocked.
The Qin Suppressing Sword was Great Qin's supreme weapon since Duke Mu.
In the hundreds of years of Qin, only King Zhaoxiang had given Baiqi, the Lord of Wu 'an, to attack Zhao.
As a general, all of them craved for prestige, and Zhangsun Sheng was no exception.
However, he didn't expect Ying Fei to give him this Duke Mu Qin Subduing Sword.
"Your Highness!"
Immediately, Zhangsun Sheng prostrated himself on the ground and shed tears of gratitude.
"There's no need for that. Just do your best.”
As they spoke.
Ying Fei helped Zhangsun Sheng up and patted his shoulder.
In history, Zhangsun Sheng had sent envoys to the Turks for the Great Sui many times.
In his twenty years of contact with the Turks, he had used outstanding strategies to disintegrate the Turks.
He had made great contributions to maintaining the peace of the northern region of the Sui Dynasty and promoting ethnic integration.
Now that Zhangsun Sheng had inherited all of Yuan Shi's strategies and wisdom, Ying Fei hoped that he could take another step forward and become the backbone of the Great Qin army.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. If this matter is not completed, I will bring my head to see you.”
Zhangsun Sheng respectfully bowed to Ying Fei, then turned around and left the rear hall.
At this moment.
Only Liu Bowen was left in the hall.
"Your Highness, do you want to pass on the meal?"
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the attendant hurriedly went forward to ask.
Ying Fei rubbed her stomach. She seemed to be a little hungry.
"Order the kitchen to prepare some food."”
"Yes!"
The attendant quickly went down to pass the food.
"Brother Bowen, West Earth has just been pacified and there are many things to do.”
"Today, I can only trouble you to deal with it here. When West Earth is completely settled in the future, I'll hold a banquet to entertain you.”
"What are you saying, Your Highness? This is what Bowen should do.”
"Besides, there are many people who can't eat the palace's food even if they want to.”
Liu Bowen replied humbly.
He didn't think that Ying Fei had left him for last because she had neglected him.
It was precisely because the last thing was the most important that they had arranged it this way.
"Ta Ta…"
Then, a few attendants brought the food up and placed it on the long table.
A few pieces of yellow bread, a Gui of beef soup, a stack of pheasants, a plate of roasted venison, and a pot of green vegetables.
There were four dishes and one main course, and there was no wine. It was extremely simple.
"Brother Bowen, please!"
Ying Fei sat on the main seat and called out to Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen didn't feel conflicted at all and naturally sat down cross-legged.
They had been fighting in the Western Regions for four years in a row, and they had always had such simple meals. There were very few exquisite dishes.
Yong Jun and Ying Fei's subordinates were also used to this.
The two of them didn't say a word and went straight to eat.
After wolfing down the food, the attendants removed all the things and they returned to their original posture.
"West Earth is vast, and it isn't inferior to Great Qin.”
"Moreover, it has a large population and abundant resources. It's a rare treasure land.”
"If you want to govern this territory well, it is not enough to rely solely on our army.”
"We must learn to find local talents, those who recognize our army.”
"Using barbarians to rule barbarians and gradually assimilating them. After a few years, this place will become another foundation of Great Qin.”
Ying Fei pointed at the big map hanging in the middle and carefully reminded Liu Bowen.
The selection of local talents was very important.
Right now, the six and five military headquarters were still in the process of being built, only the Imperial Censorate was free.
Those censors did not need to be carefully selected. It was enough to pick a few eloquent local officials.
Therefore, Liu Bowen had a lot of time and energy to complete the selection of officials.
Moreover, this matter needed to be done by someone Ying Fei trusted.
Liu Bowen had been by his side for far longer than Fang Xuanling and the others, so he was the most suitable.
"Your Highness."
"In order to complete this matter, I dare to ask you for something.”
Liu Bowen's gaze was wise and powerful.
"What is it?"
Hearing this, Ying Fei was somewhat puzzled.
"West Hall."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The entire hall was silent, and the atmosphere seemed to have instantly become extremely cold.
Ying Fei looked at Liu Bowen expressionlessly.""Are you sure?"
However, Liu Bowen nodded and said seriously,""Only the West Chamber can find local talents.”
"Alright."
"Send an edict to the West Hall's Commander Yu Huatian."
"Order all the factory guards under him to listen to Liu Bowen's orders.”
"Yes!"
The attendants in the hall hurriedly went down to pass on the edict.
At the same time.
Liu Bowen got Ying Fei's permission and went down to make arrangements.
The selection of local officials was not something that could be done just by sitting in Babylon.
He had to travel through the ancient lands of Parthia and Seljuk, adapting to the local conditions and the people.
......
ta ta
Liu Bowen had just left when a servant rushed into the hall to report.
"Your Highness, Western Liang General Ma Chao requests an audience.”
"Is it finally here?"
The corners of Ying Fei's mouth curled up slightly as he said indifferently,""Let him in."
Western Liang General Ma Chao was the last trump card he had prepared for this game of chess.
History books have said: Liangzhou horse, run amok all over the world.
Liangzhou is located in the Han, Qiang border, folk customs agile, brave not afraid of death.
Qin Shi Huang got it and wiped out the six countries. Tang Taizong got it and looked down on the world like a tiger.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Ma Chao relied on the might of the Western Liang cavalry to fight Cao Cao six times at the Wei River. He killed Cao Cao and forced him to flee in a sorry state.
If Liu Bei did not have Ma Chao's help, he would not have the strength to enter Sichuan and establish his own territory.
Most importantly, Western Liang's cavalry were valiant and fierce, especially suitable for long-distance raids in the Gobi Desert.
West Asia and Asia Minor, where the Qin army was located, had no lack of such dry terrain.
"Yes."
The attendant quickly went down to pass the message.
After a while.
A young general in silver armor and a white robe strode into the rear hall.
His face was like jade, his lips were red, his eyes were like meteors, his back was like a tiger's, his arms were like apes, and his waist was like a wolf's.
Anyone who saw it would exclaim," General Wushuang!
"The commander of the Western Liang Army, Ma Chao, is here to pay his respects to Your Highness.”
Once he entered, Ma Chao immediately bowed to Ying Fei.
"Yes, get up."
Ying Fei nodded slightly and sized up Ma Chao.
Compared to four years ago, this guy had grown a lot and became more stable.
He could sense the powerful force hidden in Ma Chao's body.
Ma Chao should be around the same age as Huo Qubing when he was at his peak.
In the Three Kingdoms, the only person who was called Divine General by the Qiang Tribe was Ma Chao, a black horse with a golden spear, silver armor, and white robes.
Other than Gongsun Zan, he was the only general who had a strong deterrence against the grassland tribes.
