Chapter 249: Frightened, Huo Qubing
"My lord, you have great wisdom and strategy, I think you have made up your mind."

"My humble opinion has made me laugh, lord."

Wei Qing immediately straightened his chest and said in a deep voice.

"Haha, Zhongqing, there's no need to be modest. I know your talent and ability."

Su Ye smiled slightly when he heard this. He looked at Wei Qing and then spoke slowly.

"You are right. These aspects do need to be strengthened."

"But it seems to me that there is a more important issue that needs to be addressed."

He paused and continued, "That is the training and selection of generals."

"A strong army requires not only brave soldiers, but also wise and courageous generals to lead them."

Su Ye glanced at Wei Qing and said meaningfully.

"My Lord, it is clear that the training and selection of generals is indeed very important."

“Only by letting talented people take important positions can we unleash our greatest fighting power.”

Wei Qing was moved when he heard this.

"Very good! Zhongqing, you can understand this, which shows that you have the potential to become an excellent general."

Su Ye nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Then Zhongqing, do you think that if you were to lead this new army, you would achieve the results you mentioned?"

Su Ye patted Wei Qing on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

Wei Qing was slightly stunned, as if he did not expect the governor to ask him so directly.

Wei Qing calmed himself down, and his eyes gradually became firm and deep, as if there was a fire burning in them.

"My lord, if Qing is given this important task, I will go all out and live up to the mission."

"Although I am not talented, I am willing to guarantee with my life that I can train an elite army for you, my lord!"

He took a deep breath and answered in a loud voice.

"Zhongqing is very courageous. However, training soldiers is not something that can be done overnight. You need time, resources and patience."

"I am naturally relieved to hand over this new army to you, but I also hope that you can understand that the responsibility and pressure involved are not trivial."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Su Ye's eyes, and he smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, my lord. Qing knows that he has a heavy responsibility."

"But as long as Qing is here, this new army will surely become an iron-blooded army that will terrify the enemy!"

Wei Qing straightened his back and spoke in a loud voice.

Su Ye looked at Wei Qing, his heart full of anticipation.

He knew that the young general in front of him had outstanding talent and firm belief. As long as he was given enough support and trust, he would be able to create amazing results.

Moreover, this new army had just been trained, and the highest-ranking officer in it was only the captain who commanded the various small groups.

There is not even a general.

The highest-ranking officials were still several generals from Cangzhou who were in charge of the training of the new army.

Therefore, Su Ye had absolute authority over this new army, and he directly appointed Wei Qing as the commander-in-chief of this new army without much resistance.

As for the troubles within this new army.

If Wei Qing can't even solve this, then he has no qualifications to be one of the two pillars of the Han Dynasty or a great general of the Western Han Dynasty.

So, Su Ye formally appointed Wei Qing as the commander of the new army and promised to provide all necessary support and resources.

Wei Qing took the military order and was a little dazed for a moment.

Just leave 30,000 troops to me like this?
Could it be that my sister has put a curse on the lord?

Wei Qing's thoughts were churning wildly.

But there was no sign of loosening his clenched fists.

He understood that this was an important turning point in his life.

It is also a great opportunity to realize one's ambitions and ideals. At this solemn and sacred moment, a sudden noise came from a distance.

The sound started out like whispers in the breeze, then gradually became clearer and louder, sweeping in like rolling thunder.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a soldier wearing the standard uniform of the Cangzhou Army riding a frightened warhorse, jumping around in the distance.

The warhorse was obviously frightened by something, and its four hooves were paddling the ground frantically, raising a cloud of dust.

The soldier held the reins tightly, trying to control the frightened horse, but his efforts seemed to have little effect.

The warhorse seemed to be chased by something terrible. It kept running and jumping wildly, as if it was going to throw the soldier off its back.

This sudden scene broke the tranquility of the air and plunged the military camp, which had just been immersed in a solemn atmosphere, into chaos.

The soldiers began to whisper and talk among themselves.

I don’t know what happened to this soldier, nor do I know how to deal with this sudden change.

However, in this chaotic moment, Wei Qing appeared exceptionally calm and composed.

He frowned slightly and stared at the galloping soldier and horse.

Various possible situations and response strategies flashed through his mind quickly, and he was also thinking about how to stabilize the morale of the army and maintain order.

Soon, Wei Qing made a decision.

"Everyone keep quiet! Don't panic! Commanders of each team, quickly organize your troops and make emergency preparations!"

He raised the military token in his hand and gave orders loudly.

His voice, enhanced by the internal energy of his own practice, was loud and powerful, penetrating the chaotic noise and spreading throughout the entire military camp.

Hearing the order, the soldiers subconsciously fell silent.

They began to rearrange themselves according to their respective teams, waiting for further instructions.

The captains also took action, quickly organized their teams, and prepared to deal with various emergencies.

However, Wei Qing's calm expression did not last long.

As the soldier got closer, the noise became clearer.

With the help of the internal energy, Wei Qing's eyes were as sharp as torches and he quickly saw the soldier's face.

In an instant, his heart was filled with turmoil and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"Go away!"

Wei Qing blurted out, his voice full of surprise, helplessness, anger and worry.

He never expected that his nephew, who should have been practicing peacefully in his hometown, would secretly follow him into the military camp.

Huo Qubing, Wei Qing's nephew, showed extraordinary talent and outstanding aptitude in martial arts since childhood.

However, he had a stubborn character and often acted unexpectedly, which made Wei Qing admire him but also worried about him.

At this moment, seeing Huo Qubing appear here, Wei Qing felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to do.

Looking at the man and horse slowly approaching from a distance.

Wei Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions.

"Qubing, why are you here?"

Wei Qing asked in a deep voice, his tone revealing a sense of majesty and unquestionable power.

Huo Qubing looked somewhat embarrassed as he rode on the frightened warhorse.

"Uncle, I'm here to find you. I want to fight alongside you!"

He stared at Wei Qing with wide eyes, a stubborn smile on his lips.

Hearing these words, a warm feeling surged in Wei Qing's heart.

He knew that Huo Qubing had always regarded him as a role model and longed to be able to fight on the battlefield and achieve great things like himself.

However, he also knew that the battlefield was ruthless and life and death were unpredictable, and he did not want Huo Qubing to be involved in this cruel war.
