"My Lord jokes~!"
Li Xiuning, her heart at ease, shook her head with a shallow smile, then looked at Qin Feng with a hint of teasing.
"I can only offer strategies, the implementation still depends on you, my lord, and Sister Yanqi."
"This..."
Hearing Li Xiuning suddenly mention Yang Yanqi, Qin Feng's face turned a little embarrassed.
What's going on?
Did Li Xiuning discover that he had secretly gone to see Yang Yanqi last night?
It shouldn't be!
As a man, a young man, a man with two beautiful women by his side, Qin Feng's heart was naturally restless.
Although Li Xiuning showed great promise, she was too intelligent.
Many strategies, let alone working on her, she could see through them before he even used them.
But Yang Yanqi was different.
As a tomboy who loved to wield swords and guns, Yang Yanqi's personality was relatively simple.
After being fooled by Qin Feng a few times, she was almost ready to make a move.
Because of this,
Qin Feng hadn't had time to attend to Li Xiuning these past few days, focusing all his energy on conquering Yang Yanqi to end his virginity.
But who would have thought,
Before even getting close, he was already facing a love triangle?
This was too difficult!
Fortunately,
Although Li Xiuning teased him, she didn't pursue the matter further.
She knew very well.
In this era, men were not without their indiscretions, except for eunuchs.
Therefore,
She didn't think it was a big deal for her lord to flirt with others.
But you can't just flirt with others and not with me!
So,
After a small reminder to her lord, Li Xiuning changed the subject.
"My Lord, when will our troops be ready?"
"This..."
Qin Feng, snapping back to reality, cast a guilty glance at Li Xiuning.
"Well, when do you think is appropriate?"
"Hmm?"
Thinking of the nearly divine speed of army mobilization last time, Li Xiuning tentatively asked,
"Can they be assembled within half a month?"
"Ah?"
Qin Feng heard this, frowned, and rubbed his nose with a hint of entanglement.
"So long? That's all you need?"
"This is long?"
Despite being mentally prepared, Li Xiuning was still startled.
She felt she had already overestimated the power behind her lord.
But she hadn't expected to underestimate it!
That was over a hundred thousand troops!
For ordinary forces, being able to assemble within a month would be considered very good.
But her lord?
Half a month was too long?
Did they always train together?
Thinking of this,
Li Xiuning, while secretly alarmed, simply threw the question back.
"My Lord, just tell me, when will they arrive at the latest?"
"At the latest?"
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, then proposed a time he thought was reasonable.
"How about within three days?"
"...No, no problem!"
Li Xiuning agreed with a hint of hesitation, then couldn't help but ask,
"My Lord, is your training base within Youzhou territory?"
"Why are you asking so much?"
Qin Feng glared at Li Xiuning impatiently, thinking where would he get a training base for her?
Fortunately,
Li Xiuning wasn't really interested in the training base. After confirming she hadn't misheard, she hurried to the map and began to ponder.
"If they can be assembled within three days, we need to accelerate our progress."
"First..."
"Mobilize the existing troops to the border of Yuyang, creating the appearance of an attack on the Wuhuan."
"This way..."
"The other counties will naturally relax their vigilance, and the Wuhuan will not dare to act rashly!"
"Secondly..."
"Disband some of the troops and have them quietly go to Liaodong to find Gongsun Zan."
"With the cooperation of the Liu family and his usual reputation, launching a war against the Wuhuan is reasonable."
"With the threat of Gongsun Zan, not only will the Wuhuan in Liaodong and Youbeiping not dare to act rashly, but he will also have a reason to assemble his troops."
"As for the troops under your command, my lord?"
Li Xiuning paused thoughtfully and then suggested in a deep voice:
"In Youzhou's eleven counties, station ten thousand troops near each county, and concentrate the rest in Yuyang and Shanggu counties, preparing for a full encirclement and annihilation of the Wuhuan."
"I have no problem with that..."
After a brief communication with the system, Qin Feng nodded, but then asked,
"What about command?"
"If so many counties and cities go to war at the same time, not only will there be no one to direct the operations on the spot, but there will also be no one to manage them after they are captured."
"We don't need to worry about these for now!"
Li Xiuning thought for a moment, looked at Qin Feng, and tentatively said,
"My Lord, can you let the generals under your command take temporary responsibility?"
"Them?"
"Yes!"
Li Xiuning nodded affirmatively, then said with some hesitation,
"After capturing them, implement military control first, and I will make unified arrangements after the war."
"This... that's fine too!"
Under Li Xiuning's expectant gaze, Qin Feng could only nod.
What could he do?
He was also desperate!
If it were complete legions summoned by cards, it would be fine, as they would come with a general like Zhou Zhi.
But all he had in his warehouse now were scattered summon cards!
What to do?
Soldiers without generals?
After sending off Li Xiuning, who was eager to make arrangements, Qin Feng began to worry as he looked at the summon cards in his warehouse.
The eleven counties of Youzhou?
Not to mention anything else, each county should have at least one general in charge, right?
And now?
Besides Li Xiuning, who was acting as his strategist, he had, at most, Guan, Zhang, and Yang Yanqi.
Yang Yanqi aside.
She was fine in combat and leading troops, but she was too naive and wouldn't be able to outmaneuver those old aristocratic families.
As for Guan and Zhang?
It was similar!
Fierce on the battlefield, but clumsy off the battlefield.
Moreover, they didn't have the system's loyalty bonus, making them susceptible to being swayed by those aristocratic families.
There was still one general summon card in the warehouse, and it was a fierce general similar to Guan and Zhang.
But it was still not enough!
The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, and Qin Feng began to ponder famous generals of the late Han Dynasty in his mind.
No need to think about those outside Youzhou; distant water couldn't quench thirst.
And within Youzhou?
It seemed to be only Liu, Guan, Zhang, Gongsun Zan, and the silver-spear Zhao Zilong on a white horse.
Eh?
Zhao Yun?
Thinking of the legendary Zhao Zilong on a white horse with a silver spear, Qin Feng's steps involuntarily paused.
This guy seemed to have been discovered among Gongsun Zan's White Horse Volunteers, right?
But were there White Horse Volunteers now?
It seemed not!
Then...
If he started recruiting soldiers from now on, could he attract him?
Or had he already been accepted by Gongsun Zan, but hadn't been converted into cavalry yet?
Troublesome!
Forget it!
Let's get the troops out first!
If absolutely necessary, he and Li Xiuning could lead them, and set strict military orders.
With strict military orders, there wouldn't be major chaos.
As for whether some aristocratic families would be accidentally harmed?
Qin Feng wanted to say,
Nine out of ten aristocratic families that could be accidentally harmed were not pure.
If they were harmed, they were harmed.
Who cares!
