The most difficult step to destroy Qin is Yangguan. As long as Yangguan is captured, there will be no pass in the Qin Dynasty that can stop the great Jin army. You cannot use elite troops to conquer Yangguan, otherwise it will be too wasteful. Recruiting new recruits and treating new recruits as cannon fodder is the most cost-effective.

Emperor Min Zizhang nodded, thinking that this proposal was OK, and then asked, "How many do I need to recruit?"

"Twenty-hundred thousand new soldiers, 200,000 veterans, each veteran brings one new soldier!" Qiu Yixiao replied with a solemn expression.

When new recruits go to the battlefield, they often experience cowardly fighting. This is a taboo in military strategists. If each veteran brings a new recruit, it can reduce the cowardly fighting or even desertion of the new recruits, because veterans will give new recruits a certain sense of security. In addition, veterans also have the responsibility to supervise the battle. Even if new recruits are afraid of death, they will bite the bullet under the supervision of veterans.

This is Qiu Yixiao's wisdom!

"Twenty-hundred thousand? Is it enough?" Emperor Jin Min Zizhang suddenly became unconfident and had no choice. He fought against the Qin Empire twice, but he was defeated and never won, which led to his confidence being greatly reduced.

"You can add another 100,000, but considering that there are too many new recruits, it will affect the overall strength of the army. 200,000 is just right!" Qiu Yixiao replied with a respectful expression.

Emperor Jin Min Zizhen fell silent and fell into deep thought, thinking about whether 200,000 is enough.

The hall was quiet, and all the ministers were waiting for Emperor Jin Min Zizhang to speak.

"Twenty-hundred thousand is too little, plus one hundred thousand, and all the powerful bows and crossbows of Hyogo will be retrieved, and all the best armor will be taken out, and the 500,000 army will be equipped to the teeth. Be sure to destroy the Qin Empire in one breath!" Emperor Jin Min Zizhang shouted with a solemn expression, preparing to have a big fight.

"I obey the order!" Qiu Yixiao bent down and replied, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have to remind Your Majesty that if you cannot break through Yang Pass within one month, Your Majesty should immediately give up attacking Qin and choose a day to fight again!"

Qiu Yixiao gave a shot and was worried that Emperor Min Zizhe would be red in his eyes and refused to withdraw his troops, otherwise the Great Jin Empire would be in danger!

"I know, I know!" Emperor Min Zizun waved his hand disapprovingly. How could a half hundred thousand yuan not be able to break through Yang Pass? It's not a joke.

"Then who is the commander of Your Majesty?" Zong Xianzheng, the Minister of War, jumped out and said.

This is the key question.

All civil and military officials subconsciously looked at Li Qi, who was kneeling in the middle of the hall. Emperor Jin Min Zizhang also looked at him with frown, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Qi couldn't help but become nervous, his breathing gradually became hasty, and he was not as nervous as he is today in his life.

Qiu Yixiao was silent for a while, then took a step forward, bent down to Emperor Min Zizhang with a respectful expression to compile the report: "Your Majesty, I believe that it is still the commander-in-chief of Li Qi, the Lieutenant General of the Protective Country, to be the commander!"

"But..." Emperor Min Zizhe of Jin was about to say that Li Qi had just suffered a defeat, and before he could finish his words, Qiu Yixiao suddenly interrupted: "Report to Your Majesty, although the Lieutenant General of the Guardian Kingdom was defeated, he was still the number one tiger general of my great Jin Dynasty. Moreover, after this defeat, he also knew his shortcomings and learned a lot. At the same time, the Lieutenant General of the Guardian Kingdom also wanted to take revenge, so he must destroy the commander of Qin!"

When Li Qi heard this, he realized that his opportunity had come. Then he kowtowed and shouted: "What the Prime Minister said is very true. I have known the mistakes, learned a lot, and I also want to take revenge. I ask Your Majesty to give me a chance to make up for my merits. In this battle, I will destroy the Qin Empire, defeat Bai Qi with my own hands, and use Bai Qi's blood to clean up the shame!"

Emperor Min Zizhang of Jin nodded solemnly, "Okay, since you have the intention to repent and make up for your mistakes, I will use you again. Listen, I will grant you a general, and wait for the recruits and troops from all over the country to go to the Qin State immediately. Be sure to destroy the Qin Empire in one breath and capture the Qin Emperor alive. If you can't do it, I will definitely slaughter your Li family!"

The next few words from Emperor Jin Min Zizhang carried a huge murderous intent!

Li Qi suddenly shivered and quickly responded: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. This battle will definitely destroy the Qin Empire and capture the Qin Emperor alive, so that you can live up to your high expectations!"

"Where is the Minister of Revenue?"

"I'm here!"

"Before the troops move, the food and grass will go first. The Ministry of Revenue must transport the army's grain to Yangguan for two months in advance. You must not slackew for a day. Otherwise, you will resign and return to your hometown!"

"I obey the order!"

"Where is the Minister of War!"

"I'm here!"

"The settlement fee paid for recruiting soldiers must be in place. If a soldier lacks a sum, I will be the first to cut you down. There are also powerful bows, crossbows, good armor, and sharp weapons in Hyogo, and equipped with every soldier. In addition, there are also catapults and other siege objects, which will be transported to the front line!"

"I obey the order!"

"Where is the Minister of Personnel!"

"I'm here!"

"I ordered you to prepare backup officials immediately and be sure to take over the entire territory of Daqin as soon as possible!"

"I obey the order!"

"Where is the Minister of Rites!"

"I'm here!"

"I ordered you to prepare the highest etiquette of the Great Jin Empire before the army returns in triumphantly. I want the emperor and the grand tutor to return to Jinling City in a glorious manner!"

"I obey the order!"

"Where is the Minister of Justice!"

"I'm here!"

"I ordered the Heavenly Prison to be cleaned up and used to detain the anti-Jin leader in the Qin Empire!"

"I obey the order!"

Emperor Min Zizhang of Jin issued a series of decrees. Among the six ministries, only the Ministry of Works had nothing to do, and the other five ministries had to be operated to prepare for the war before and after the war.

After the dynasty was dispersed, Qiu Yisheng recruited troops from all counties and places, and at the same time, he drew 50,000 troops from Hulao Pass (defense of the Great Zhao Empire) and only 50,000 troops were left to guard each pass.

After the two passes were drawn, there were 100,000 veterans on hand, and the remaining 100,000 were drawn to the North Great Wall (the city gate that defended the Xiongnu) and the capital respectively.

He drew out 200,000 elite troops at once, leaving only 140,000 elite troops in the Great Jin Empire (60,000 in the battle of Yangguan), and with the 30,000 in the Nanguan, there were still 170,000 in total.

After the Great Jin Empire drew elite troops, it was waiting for the new recruits to arrive.

The five departments of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Personnel also quickly operated, adjusting grain for food, adjusting weapons and equipment, etc.

From this we can see that the Great Jin Empire was really willing to spend a lot of money in order to destroy the Great Qin Empire in one breath. It can also be seen that the Great Jin Empire's determination to destroy the Great Qin Empire.

The Great Zhao Empire, the imperial capital of Handan, the imperial palace, and the palace of the heart!

It is August, and it is in the hot summer. There is an ice stove in the Yangxin Hall, emitting white cold air, making the Yangxin Hall cool. In addition to the ice stove, there is also an incense stove, emitting the fragrance of ambergris.
