Chapter 769: The army departs
After that night's reunion, nothing extra happened in the following days, everyone was busy step by step, everything was preparing for the expedition. And the day after the reunion, Dian Wei and Lu Bu had a friendly exchange, and the result was that Dian Wei was beaten fat, but fortunately, his cultivation for a few days was fine, but his desire to go out with the army was not disappointed.
Of course, Lu Bu also gave Dian Wei a position of deputy general as agreed, and Dian Wei felt that this beating was not a loss.
Although Dian Wei is a pure martial artist, under the same realm, there are few opponents, but it does not mean that there are no opponents. Moreover, Lu Bu is also a peerless general, after all these years of hard work, he has reached the peak realm of the sixth sense, and it is possible to break through to the realm of the seventh sense at any time, Dian Wei only has the intermediate realm of the sixth sense, so he is naturally not Lu Bu's opponent. Lu Bu was able to reach his current strength, firstly, because of his talent, and secondly, because he also put in no less effort than ordinary people. In the past, he was at the pinnacle of the top generals, and was considered by the world to be the number one general, but he didn't know that there was a higher level above the top. However, after Yuan Chang's explanation, he learned that he was at a higher level, and naturally worked harder.
For example, when I was in elementary school, the perfect score was 100 points, and Lu Bu was at this level, which was enough to look down on all sentient beings. However, after Yuan Chang's explanation, knowing a higher level is like being promoted from elementary school to junior high school, and the full score has become one hundred and fifty points. If a child goes home with a score of seventy or eighty points in junior high school, without the knowledge of their parents, they still think that their studies in junior high school have become difficult, so it is normal to not get a full score. Then when I heard it, the full score in junior high school was 15, and my own bear children couldn't even reach the passing line, so it was naturally a men's singles, women's singles, and mixed doubles. Just like when Lu Bu met the fake Lu Bu that time, if Yuan Chang hadn't arrived in time to rescue him, Lu Bu's grave grass would be taller than him now.
Therefore, Lu Bu practiced himself so hard, and it only took a few years to be able to rise to the level of the peak of the sixth sense.
Don't think that Yuan Chang's reaching the peak of his seventh sense seems to be as simple as drinking boiled water, after all, Yuan Chang is a rebel, and he is born different, Lu Bu naturally can't compare with this kind of freak. And Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, because of Yuan Chang's tempering, were able to reach the intermediate level of the sixth sense soon after breaking through the sixth sense, not everyone has such treatment. There are naturally many strong people with the seventh sense of strength in the Shuntian Alliance, but they have always been high, and their subordinates who are not as strong as them are all tools and ants in their eyes, so how can they spend time cultivating these subordinates? However, the realm of the top level and beyond cannot be achieved simply by practice, but by chance and sufficient talent. In the Shuntian Alliance, top-level strength people abound, but the strength of the sixth sense is less than one in a hundred. Therefore, Lu Bu was able to reach the current realm, and his talent was naturally beyond doubt.
Therefore, Dian Wei was defeated by Lu Bu, and there was no problem.
But more than ten days is not much, the time has passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of sending troops agreed with Cao Cao has finally arrived.
That night, Yuan Chang and Liu Xi were on the bed.
"Husband, you must return safely, I hope that when the child is born, you will be by your side. Liu Xi's eyes were bright, and he said expectantly.
Liu Xi also knew that Yuan Chang was going to the Kunlun Mountains in the Western Regions to find the reason for what the Shuntian Alliance had done. She also knew that there might be danger, but she knew that her husband was not an ordinary person, and it was impossible to stay by her side. Moreover, if they can't solve the problem of the Suncheon Alliance, their life will not be peaceful. Therefore, Liu Xi could only pray silently in his heart.
"Xi'er, don't worry, whether it's for you or for the soon-to-be-born child, I will come back alive to see you. Yuan Chang kissed Liu Xi lightly on the forehead and solemnly assured him.
"Hmm!"
Liu Xi nodded, and didn't say anything more about this matter, so as not to put pressure on Yuan Chang and distract him. After saving for a while, Liu Xi said softly: "Husband, you can rest in your sister's room tonight." Although she didn't say it, the concubine could also see that her sister also wanted to conceive a son and a half daughter for her husband. Maybe when my husband comes back, my sister will be able to bring you good news. ”
"It's... Since the lady asked so strongly, how could the husband not agree. ”
"Wow, don't get cheap and sell well!"
When Yuan Chang touched Zhen Jiang's bed with a monkey on his face, Zhen Jiang was stunned at first, and then said with some surprise: "Husband, I am going to go on the expedition tomorrow, why don't you rest in my sister's room tonight?" Although my sister didn't say it, the concubine also knew that my sister was actually very worried about her husband, and now my sister is pregnant with her husband's flesh and blood, but don't let my sister be too sad, you better go to my sister's room to accompany her!"
I have to say that Liu Xi and Zhen Jiang's two daughters are both tolerant and generous women, but the night before Yuan Chang's expedition, they did not selfishly let Yuan Chang accompany him, but let him accompany each other. Yuan Chang was able to marry such a beautiful woman in his life, and he should have no regrets.
"Hey, you two sisters have the same heart, both have the same thoughts, and we are happy to be able to get along with each other. Yuan Chang pinched Zhen Jiang's smooth and delicate chin, with a wicked smile on his face, and said: "However, Xi'er has not reacted in the slightest when she sees that your stomach has been you for so long, so I ordered my husband to come and feed you, so that you can inherit a piece of incense for my Yuan family as soon as possible." ”
However, the concubine will definitely work hard to live up to the expectations of her husband and sister, and when her husband returns, she will be able to hear the good news. ”
"Hehe, what's the use of your efforts, you still have to look at your husband, look at the tricks..."
The spring light is infinite overnight, and it is not enough for outsiders. And with Yuan Chang's current strength, even if Hu Tianhu had been on the ground for one night, he would still be full of energy when he woke up the next morning, and he didn't look tired at all. After carefully preparing breakfast for the second daughter, Yuan Chang walked towards the outside of the city, and the time for the army to assemble was approaching. Although he knew that the second daughter had already woken up, she just didn't come down to say goodbye to Yuan Chang, so as not to increase her sorrow. As Yuan Chang himself said, whether it is for his own woman or an unborn child, he will never allow himself to make the slightest mistake, and he must come back alive.
The people have already gathered on the street, and this time he and Cao Cao jointly went to Jizhou, and Youzhou has already notified the people in the territory. Of course, naturally it is not possible to open the station at will, no matter how Yuan Chang is supported by the people of Youzhou, there are still necessary reasons. Therefore, the reason given by the government is that the people of other states are living in dire straits, and in order to make them feel the privileged life of the people of Youzhou, Yuan Chang wants to lead everyone to save the people of other states from the hands of "evil" elements and make the world a better place. Although this reason sounds very nonsense to people with a little knowledge, for the people of Youzhou, this reason is perfect and there is nothing wrong with it. In the early years, their lives were also in dire straits, and they were threatened by the northern nomads from time to time. However, since Yuan Chang took charge of Youzhou, life has been getting better and better day by day, and there is hope for life. Therefore, the people of Youzhou learned about the lives of the people in other places from the mouths of the merchants in the past, and they naturally felt a little proud while sympathizing with them. Now, Yuan Chang wants to rescue the people in other places, how can the people of Youzhou not agree, how not to support.
"Chairman, we must solve the problems of the people in other places, so that they can also live a life like ours!"
"That's right, Chairman, we will definitely support you!"
"The soldiers of Youzhou are invincible, ten thousand victories!"
"Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!"
With the shouts of some people, the people of Youzhou who came to watch the army began to shout, and almost the people in the entire city were echoing, and the call went straight to the sky, which made people feel that the army could get such active support from the people, which is a rare thing in the past.
"Rest assured, I will not disappoint your expectations, so that the people of the world can live the life of the people of Youzhou!" Yuan Chang drove his horse and slowly walked towards the city gate, and also responded to the people's calls in a friendly manner.
After a short time, Yuan Chang came to the gate of the city, and at this time, the army had also been assembled, waiting for Yuan Chang, the master of Youzhou, to give orders.
"Soldiers, you have heard the cries of the people, can we disappoint them?"
"Can't!"
"Yes, we can't let down the people who expect so much from us, and we have to live up to their trust. Therefore, we can only win and not lose this battle! Not only to save the people in other places, but also to be worthy of the thousands of people who support us behind us!"
"Victory!" "Victory!" "Victory!"
"Very good, seeing such high morale of your soldiers, I, as your superior, feel gratified!" Yuan Chang praised with satisfaction, and then, his face became serious, and he raised his voice to cover it wider, and said loudly: "In the past, when the army went out to fight, when dealing with the enemy's people, it was inevitable to plunder their belongings or some other things, in their opinion, this is the treatment that the victor should have. However, in my opinion, such an act is not what a qualified soldier should do. We are regular soldiers, disciplined, and organized, and if we do such acts, what difference will we have from bandits and bandits? Therefore, in this war, I do not want such a situation to occur and ruin the reputation of our Youzhou soldiers. Forget what happened in the past, from now on, I hope that our soldiers in Youzhou will be unique, a real and pure military team. Of course, some soldiers want to make a fortune through war, so I can only tell those people that joining the army may not be suitable for you, and you can choose the path of business. Besides, the treatment of our soldiers in Youzhou is also very favorable among the states, do you really want to behave like bandits and bandits, just to be able to enjoy more happiness? I believe that our soldiers in Youzhou are not such people. Well, that's all I have to say, I hope you can remember!"
"Stick to discipline and remember the teachings of the chairman!"
"We are unique soldiers, please rest assured, we will never insult this identity of soldiers!"
"Very well, then, let's go!"
With Yuan Chang's order, the five armies advanced in their respective directions. In this expedition, Youzhou dispatched a total of 120,000 troops. The original population of Youzhou can only be ranked last among the thirteen states in the world, but after Yuan Chang took over Youzhou, with the efforts of him, Guo Jia and others, the population of Youzhou is now in the forefront, perhaps in addition to Jingzhou, Youzhou's population is the largest. First, Youzhou annexed the territory of the original Goguryeo, and the people of Goguryeo were naturally the people of Youzhou; second, because the life of Youzhou was better, many people from the neighboring Bingzhou, Jizhou, and even Qingzhou, Guanzhong, and the northern part of Youzhou poured into Youzhou and became a member of Youzhou. Moreover, the life of the people of Youzhou is better, there is no need to worry and be confused about life, the interest in creating people is naturally stronger, and the number of new babies is also very large. Based on all these circumstances, the population of Youzhou today is at least five million, which is only a lot more. Under Yuan Chang's call, coupled with the enthusiasm of the people of Youzhou to join the army, the 120,000 army is not difficult. In addition, in addition to the 120,000 troops, there were nearly 100,000 laborers used to escort grain and grass, and of these 100,000 laborers, one-third were soldiers who invaded Youzhou from the Six Kingdoms. Naturally, their country could not get these captives back from Yuan Chang, so after a period of labor reform in Youzhou, they gradually got used to life in Youzhou. Moreover, because they can see the wealth and stability of Youzhou, these alien soldiers also want to become a member of Youzhou, so they also perform better in the labor camp, and strive to be forgiven by Youzhou. Of course, it is also because many alien soldiers have behaved well and have been released early, and at the same time they have been given the identity of the people of Youzhou and live an enviable life, which is also one of the reasons why alien soldiers are willing to reform themselves.
"Everyone, what to do next, it depends on your respective performances, I won't say more, let's go!"
Before leaving, Yuan Chang gathered Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Tai Shici and others, gave a brief instruction, and set off separately. And Yuan Chang also followed Zhao Yun's army, he did not go on his own for the time being, and after entering the Yanmen of Bingzhou, he quietly left and embarked on the journey to the Western Regions alone.
