Li Chen gazed intently at Su Pingbei, then turned to take a bronze tiger talisman from the tray held by two eunuchs beside him. He handed it to Su Pingbei and said in a grave voice: "Take this tiger talisman, and you shall lead tens of thousands of troops to Liaodong. This battle, success or failure is uncertain!"
Su Pingbei raised his head, his eyes burning with flames. He took the tiger talisman in both hands, turned to face the three thousand soldiers, raised the tiger talisman in his hand, and roared: "This battle, we will surely win! A great victory!"
On the parade ground, three thousand soldiers simultaneously raised their weapons and shouted, "We will surely win! A great victory!"
"Victory! A decisive victory!"
Next, after receiving the Tiger Talisman and legally becoming the commander, Supingbei began to choose his generals.
It's just a formality, not a real selection of generals.
The deployment of the troops, who would be assigned to each position, had already been clearly laid out by Su Zhen-ting and the others for Su Ping-bei.
And right now, there are only 3,000 people in Beijing. These 3,000 people, as Su Pingbei's direct lineage, are to be placed in the most critical links of the entire army. Most of the specific officer selections are still waiting in Liaodong for Su Pingbei to arrive before joining.
After the muster, two hours had passed.
The mobilization meeting has officially ended.
This force of three thousand men would set out after dinner.
Immediately after the oath-taking ceremony ended, Zhao Xuanji and other officials from the Ministry of Personnel took their leave.
As civil servants, they were always at odds with the military leaders. The core of these civilian officials felt deeply uncomfortable in this environment and would leave immediately if possible.
Li Chen naturally didn't try to keep them, after they left, he saw off Su Zhen Ting and Su Ping Bei with the final handover, himself then came outside the barracks.
Here, the Xianchao embassy has been waiting for a day.
The camp is a restricted area, and any unauthorized person who enters will be beheaded. Let alone the envoys of Xian Dynasty, they are not people of the Qin state, so naturally they couldn't even take half a step inside.
When Li Chen arrived, the members of the delegation instinctively stepped aside, leaving a private space where Li Chen and Jin Luyao could speak freely.
"I was thinking of letting you all come in to witness the ceremony, but the ministers objected, so I gave up." Li Chen said.
Jin Luyao shook her head and said, "There's no need to watch. Just from outside, I heard the commotion. Everyone was very excited, thinking that with such an army, defeating the Eastern Isles would be no problem at all."
With a light chuckle, Li Chen leaned back on the soft couch, looking at Jin Luyao who was already dressed and ready before him. “Leaving soon”
Jin Luyao lowered her face, refusing to look at Li Chen, and said softly: "Everything is ready. Each of us is eager to return home. When the imperial army sets out, we will all go to Liaodong together, and then leave the country to return to the Xian朝."
It's best to go back early. Xian Chao is no match for the people of Tohoku. They are already struggling. If news of Qin's military campaign reaches them, they will only have two choices.
"One is to abandon everything gained and immediately retreat, the other is to destroy the Xian Dynasty before the Qin army arrives, creating a fait accompli."
Looking at Jin Luyao, whose face had turned pale because of his words, Li Chen softened his tone slightly and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. After all, they are currently focused on attacking your Xian Chao, and they may not have much time to inquire about news. Even if they learn the news later, it won't be too long before the Qin army enters Xian Chao. Perhaps everything will still be in time."
Jin Luyao pursed her lips and said, “Luyao thanks His Royal Highness.”Chapter 649: Business Tax
