The evening breeze blows a smoky roar, the wheels of time roll by, and it is another dawn. The star of Qi shines in the sky, and a waning moon hangs over the Gushui River Valley. Occasionally, a few wails of owls came from the dense forest by the river, adding to the terrifying atmosphere.

King Xiu Tu led thousands of troops to hurriedly cross the canyon and run towards Dunhuang. Wars are sometimes more like a contest of military strength than a contest of psychological strength.

Yi Zhixie Shanyu handed over the important task of entering Hexi to King Xiu Tu, because he was attracted by the demeanor of the general who was brave enough to advance in other places.

But after encountering Li Guang, his innocence became chaotic, and he had never been as confused as he is today.

He could not understand so many ever-changing formations, nor did he know when the Han army had such amazing raiding ability.

It was just a vague feeling that this army far surpassed Li Guang, who was once famous in terms of formation and courage in combat. Li Guang seemed to have become a different person! They did not give themselves time to breathe, but held on tightly, which reminded him of the wolf on the grassland.

It has indeed changed. Since Li Guang was appointed as a marquis, his temperament has changed drastically. He has learned a lot from nothing to learn about military books! This is Liu Che's advice! It is also a change in the way of training troops! Your Majesty focuses on training young generals, which brings him endless pressure. He can only advance bravely!

Moreover, Liu Che ascended the throne and became a great man, but he only had no harm. He could let go of his concerns, drive the cavalry together, and fight thousands of miles!

...

Putting aside the 20,000 to 30,000 troops stationed in the garrison, there were only 10,000 or 20,000 troops who actually returned to the court. Of course, the most of them were the Southern Army of the Capital. After all, they were elite troops, and all nine thousand troops returned to Chang'an City.

This has to throw a question back to Liu Che. Should the troops be recruited? Will the recruitment of troops again cause disgust to the people?

After all, the Taiwei was one of the three Dukes in the world. If he had any recruitment and transfer of generals, he still had a lot of help.

Since taking office, Dou Ying has been much more low-key. He no longer hangs around with Guan Fu all day long, but is silent, cultivating his character, ignores the title of Empress Dowager, and never arranges official positions for the Dou family.

He did not make trouble for himself and did his best to do the job, which made Liu Che have a great affection for the Taiwei Dou Ying.

After clearing the memorial, Liu Che thought of summoning him to discuss the recruitment matters, and he did it as soon as he thought of it. So Bao Sang took Liu Che's order and invited someone to go.

A peaceful mindset is the most nourishing person. This is a good thing. Seeing Dou Ying’s mental strength, Liu Che even started to recuperate for a while and slowly made a move.

However, the conscription is still a bit urgent. Liu Che can only rest with the people after conquering the troops and train them in large numbers, and have been recuperating for a while.

Compared with the generals on the front line of the War of Resistance, Liu Che was also a little tired in the rear. Because the army was on the expedition and various matters, Liu Che was worried about the officials' arrangements, so he directly held authority in his own hands. In order to prevent the soldiers from being wronged without any worries, he was exhausted and his spirit was a little depressed at this time.

When military generals cannot show their abilities and drag down civil officials and colleagues, Liu Che just wants to kill them in the cradle.

"Master Dou doesn't have to be too polite. Come and give him a seat!" Liu Che smiled kindly and ordered Han Yan.

"Your Majesty, this ceremony cannot be abolished. It is not too late to give him a seat after he has finished his duties." Dou Ying replied seriously.

Is this my fault? Liu Che laughed silently. It seems that he would not be too polite to be with the ministers. He shouted and Liu Che shouted: "I told you to sit down!"

Although he was frightened, Dou Ying still stubbornly finished the ceremony and sat on it.

"I'm just trying to see if you are a good minister who keeps polite!" Liu Che hurriedly knew that he was in a disadvantage.

"I know your Majesty's original intention!"

“…”

Liu Che, a man who was "firm" brushed his cheek and asked, "What does Taiwei Dou think of the recruitment?"

"Zhang Chi is moderate and slowly conquered rather than stored in large quantities. The troops will gradually be enriched, and a layered upward rank system can also be formed. If Your Majesty wants to make up for the shortage of troops, you can learn from the past methods and draw a small number of county soldiers to form a large army.

This reward for merits and practice is an opportunity! With the name of rewards, the benefits of joining the army are widely spread. The willing to take the bait and the county has allocated a small amount of quotas. After accumulating, a large number of troops will surely jump in and fill it with new blood." Dou Ying's lips twitched, and he expressed his opinion.

Nodding, Liu Che smiled and said, "There is only this path to go in the short term."

"Your Majesty wants to start a war again?" Dou Ying said worriedly.

If another battle will drag down the whole country, Liu Che had no intention of this and shook his head and said, "I just want to train troops. I can only use soldiers for a thousand days to support them for a while. If I don't train troops early, how could my Han army shock the countries?

In recent years, wars have been impossible. Not to mention that the soldiers are tired and unwilling to fight, even the people in the world are not disturbed. On the surface, everyone is happy about winning the battle, but in fact they still prefer a peaceful life. They have to transition for a period of time. When most people are restless, it is the day to conquer the Huns again!"

"I have recently heard that the Huns were restless in the Hexi area. I wonder what your Majesty has to do?" When talking about the Huns, Dou Ying had something else to say.

"What do Dou Qing thinks Li Guang is like?"

"I have changed several times, and I can't understand him anymore!" Dou Ying frowned and replied with a pursed lips.

Relaxed his body and lay flat on Huihong's chair. Liu Che stretched his waist and touched the handle on the chair. His eyes were sure, and he glanced at Dou Ying and smiled: "I believe in him. Everyone regards Li Guang as a bad star, but I recognize him as a general, and he is the talent of a general!"

The scene fell into silence,

Lasts for one tenth of a quarter of an hour,

Dou Ying was very surprised by Liu Che's employment. In this tenth of a quarter of an hour, he only thought of one question, will His Majesty believe me like this in the future...

"Taiwei Dou, I have one more thing to do to you."

"Listen."

"There are many casualties and injuries in the south this time, which means that many children have lost their fathers. I think that these orphans have lost their fathers since childhood and can only follow their mothers. According to customs, their mothers will most likely remarry others. If the orphans are by their stepfathers, they will definitely be abused and discriminated against, which will greatly change their temperament.

It would be better for the orphans to be raised by the court and build another army in the future, recruit them to join the army and inherit their father's ambitions.

So I want you to send someone to various counties, so I say that according to my will, it depends on the fact that the woman has the intention to remarry. Although she has it, she will directly take over the orphans and take back the martyrs' parents without any other obstacles." Liu Che's face was calm and he asked.

As the Grand Marshal, Dou Ying himself had thought about these things. Seeing that His Majesty was interested, he also said happily: "I don't know what the name of this army will be in the future?"
