Bai Yi is ready to go on the expedition.

On the third day of the edict declaring war, the whole army was finally assembled.

The Houtu army gathered outside the city, and the people in the city came to see off these soldiers in unison.

Even Lu Chensheng came in person.

Lu Chensheng held a bowl of fine wine in his hand, a scarlet gown on his body, and looked directly at the soldiers in front of him.

"The soldiers are going to go on the expedition again, and there may be many soldiers who will not be able to come back this time, and they will be separated from their families!"

Lu Chensheng stood on the stage and could see the faces below, dark and resolute.

Such an opening remark made many people commotion.

There are a lot of soldiers here, all of them are their sons or relatives, and when they hear such words, they naturally can't stand.

"But as a soldier, it is a necessary sacrifice for soldiers to defend the country, whether the Xinghan Dynasty can be stable, and whether the people in the country are safe or not, all depend on your soldiers!

Thinking about the Tartars outside the Saiwai, in the past, they went south every year to burn, kill and loot, and the people outside the Saiwai were miserable, but also about the entry of the Tartars, where the Tartars passed, the women were humiliated, and all the men were killed!

I don't know how many people died!

Or the disaster of the north, slaughtering tens of thousands of people in my Xinghan! If we had destroyed them in advance, would there still have been a catastrophe in the north?

Now the Grand Duchy of Kiev is about to move, I am afraid that it will be the next disaster in the north, as a soldier, if you can't defend the country and protect the people, then why do you need to wear a sword? ”

When Lu Chensheng said this, he pulled out the sword on his body, and the sword was cold, emitting a cold light.

The soldiers below blushed at this moment, they are the Houtu Army, and they have not gone out for a long time, but it does not prevent them from knowing the disaster of the north, and it does not prevent them from knowing how the Tartars of the past went south to burn and loot.

Today's Xinghan Dynasty is extremely strong, and the previous Three Kingdoms period seems to have a time and space fault and become two eras.

But in reality, that time did not have long since passed.

All the soldiers know that what the Holy Father says is true, and if you don't destroy them, they will come and rob you of your food and kill your people!

Especially when he saw the saint pull out his sword, his heart was surging.

Today's saint was originally a scholar, but the saint also led troops to fight and killed the enemy!

At this moment, why do you need a sword on your body, it makes their hearts boil.

"We are willing to fight to the death, so that all foreign barbarians will surrender!"

The soldiers roared loudly, and the sound was like a rolling sound wave, shaking the clouds in the sky.

"Good!"

Lu Chensheng roared, picked up the wine in his hand, "When the soldiers return, I will set up a banquet to invite the soldiers." ”

After the morale-boosting words were spoken, the soldiers slowly set off and began to march.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son.

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the child.

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

Seeing the soldiers starting to march, Lu Chensheng stood on the platform, the desolate chanting spread far away, and the people were silently watching these soldiers who rushed to the battlefield at this moment.

In the beginning, they listened to the Holy Lord's story, and after they went, they were afraid that some people would not be able to come back.

Such words naturally made them a little flustered, but with what the Holy Lord said later, they all knew that this war was very necessary.

Since the establishment of the Xinghan Dynasty, there have been two foreign battlefields, and both times they have won.

And from the beginning of its establishment to the present, there has only been one disaster in the north, and there is also the matter of the Japanese invaders.

In addition to these, there are no other soldiers, and compared to before, it can be said that it is really powerful now!

And these are all because of the achievements of these soldiers, if they didn't work hard, those barbarians would think they were easy to bully!

Thinking about it this way, the people gradually felt that this war was necessary, especially that it was the imperial concubine who led the army this time!

This is the saint's favorite wife, and now they are all on the expedition, and the other party has also abandoned the young prince.

The Holy One can do this, why can't they?

Some even made up their minds to go back and let their sons join the army!

How can such a prosperous world not be maintained?

When the people were full of thoughts, they suddenly heard the chanting of the saint coming from afar.

Listening to this chanting, the people were even more tearful, and the saints of today have never felt that the lives of the soldiers were not their lives.

It has always been that way.

Every time he returned from a battle, the saint would personally carry a pen, write for the fallen soldiers, and bury the corpses in the cemetery.

At that time, the Holy Ones will come in person.

Now it's this poem again, which is enough to prove that the saint is actually reluctant, so that the soldiers are so desperate.

"If a foreign enemy dares to deceive my Xinghan, I will put on armor and go into battle!"

"If my son dies in battle, then when I go to the battlefield as a father, I will definitely let those barbarians know that my star man is not easy to mess with!"

At this moment, the people said with angry faces.

Lu Chensheng watched the soldiers go away and stayed for a long time before turning around and leaving.

When the people watched this scene, they were even more moved.

Lu Chensheng returned to the palace, and Xinghan City immediately boiled like boiling water.

Countless strong men directly found the government and asked to be soldiers.

Those who asked to be soldiers directly lined up for several streets.

The guards in the city had to go to maintain order to avoid chaos.

"Holy Lord, one of your poems directly made the people go to serve as soldiers, and the city is very lively right now."

The people from the Ministry of Rites came to report, and their faces were full of helplessness.

At this moment, the city was very chaotic, and the streets were crowded with people.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Lu Chensheng looked down at Song Shu and replied casually.

"But the saint, among those people, there are some old men, and they are still clamoring to be soldiers, saying that they used to be soldiers when they were young, and they can kill enemies or something."

The minister of the Ministry of Rites said helplessly.

This is a good thing, and now that the people are getting richer, in fact, some of them have begun to stop serving as soldiers.

In the past, recruiting soldiers was still very simple, anyway, there was a soldier's salary, and many people were willing to go for this stutter.

But right now, if you work hard, you can eat enough, why should you be a soldier, when there is a war, it is easy to die!

So gradually, sometimes it's a little more difficult to recruit soldiers.

But today, because of some words of the Holy Lord, it has directly aroused the blood of the people, and also made the people understand that the only way to maintain peace can be through war.

Therefore, the people directly wanted to become soldiers.

"Eliminate some unqualified ones, and accept those who are qualified, anyway, it is indeed necessary to recruit more soldiers, and when the territory is expanding, a group of people are needed to patrol the frontier."

Lu Chensheng said.

There are also some disadvantages to territorial expansion.

For example, there are more places where there is a need for manpower.

The border has become a lot bigger, and this is a troublesome thing.

The Minister of Rites nodded in understanding.

Lu Chensheng still looked at the music, it was already May, and the weather was gradually getting hotter.

On the side of the Grand Duchy of Kyiv, the snow has almost cleared now, and it is almost the same to send troops at this time.

Lu Chensheng thought of some information in hand, this Grand Duchy of Kiev should know the news that they are sending troops now.

When the time comes to the border, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle.

However, with the equipment of the soldiers, it should not be a problem to win.

The logistics side has also been prepared, and a large amount of cement has also been transported to the border, not to build fortresses, but to build roads.

According to the plan, after the battle is passed, this road will be repaired all the way, one is to be used to transport supplies, so that the soldiers in front of them can run as fast as possible, and the supplies will quickly follow.

On the other hand, it is naturally used to transport potash salts.

In order to build this road faster, the imperial court has transferred a lot of people from all over the country to build this cement road all the way to the fastest speed.

Lu Chensheng thought about this, and was a little distracted for a while.

Shouyue went with Bai Yi, hoping that nothing would happen.

Thinking of this, Lu Chensheng was slightly distracted.

"Father!"

On formal occasions, Yiyi and the two still call Lu Chensheng their father.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Chensheng looked at Yiyi running over and said a little strangely.

"The Queen Mother is on the march?"

Yiyi had a little anxiety on her face, she had just learned about it.

When Bai Yi set out on the expedition, he didn't tell Yiyi.

Lu Chensheng nodded, "Your queen mother has just left." ”

"Why didn't my father say to Yiyi, Yiyi can go and send her mother!"

Yiyi's eyes were red, she was not a child anymore, she knew that it would be dangerous to go on the expedition, and when her mother went on the expedition, she hadn't sent it yet, and she was even more sad in her heart.

"Your mother just didn't want to see you like this, so she didn't tell you."

Lu Chensheng comforted Yiyi and said helplessly.

If this is when he goes out, looking at Yiyi's appearance like this, where will Bai Yi feel at ease, and if he can't control it before the battle, it will be even worse to shed tears.

Bai Yi knew Yiyi's character, so he didn't tell her.

When Yiyi heard this, she felt even more sad in her heart.

"Father, the queen mother will be fine, she will definitely come back safely, right?"

Yiyi's heart was full of worry, and she asked Lu Chensheng in a low voice.

"Don't worry, your queen mother is the most elite soldier, and your queen mother has led soldiers to fight before, and she is very powerful, where is it so easy to get into trouble? What's more, there is also your aunt around. ”

Lu Chensheng's words suddenly made Yiyi feel a lot more at ease, maybe she was too nervous just now, and she fell asleep directly after relaxing.

Lu Chensheng smiled bitterly, returned to the palace with Yiyi in his arms, and gently put her on.

Originally, a palace maid saw it and wanted to help, but she was rejected by Lu Chensheng.

When Qiong Yue heard this, she hurried over.

Seeing Yiyi after falling asleep, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.

"This kid is okay on weekdays, but when he hears the news of the expedition, he will be in a hurry like anything, and he will cry directly."

Speaking of this, Qiong Yue glanced at Lu Chensheng a few times.

"It's all you, it's not good to say anything after an hour, you have to tell Yiyi them that you are dead or something, which makes her so worried about this expedition!"

Yiyi is still very strong on weekdays, and basically can't shed tears or anything.

In the final analysis, it was because when they were children, Lu Chensheng and Yiyi explained what death was, that is, Chengxue had just set out on the expedition at that time, and they took this matter to explain.

Yiyi is also because of this matter, so she is quite afraid of the expedition.

Lu Chensheng touched his nose, how did he know that explaining this to Yiyi at that time would make Yiyi so worried about the expedition, as if once the expedition was made, people would definitely die.

"In front of children, naturally I can't say it so bluntly!"

Qiong Yue complained about Lu Chensheng, stepped forward to take a closer look, and after making sure that Yiyi had nothing else to do, she was relieved, but the complaints on her lips were indispensable.

Lu Chensheng shook his head and won't say anything about it for a while.

The two went out of the palace and asked the palace maid to take good care of Yiyi.

"My sister's expedition this time is the Grand Duchy of Kyiv, I heard that the other party is still on guard, but don't do anything."

Qiong Yue was also a little worried at this time, the guy she faced this time was still a little different.

The strength of the Grand Duchy of Kyiv is still very powerful.

Her fears were somewhat justified.

"There shouldn't be anything, the hot air balloon has also been brought over, as long as the hot air balloon is released at the beginning, the possibility of falling into an ambush is not great, and in this way, as long as it is advanced step by step, then the advantage is still in our hands."

When fighting, it is very necessary to control the information, just like before, because the Tartars did not control Chengxue's movements, and then they were directly ambushed.

This kind of thing, if it happened to Bai Yi's army, it would also be a heavy loss.

Therefore, it is still necessary to carry a hot air balloon with you when you go on the expedition.

You can avoid the ambush of the other party, and you can also give enough information, such as how many people the other party has, where the location is, etc.

With this information, fighting a war is much simpler.

In addition to the artillery that is now equipped or something, this strength is already pulling away.

When Qiong Yue saw her husband say this, she thought that her husband would never lie, and her heart was slightly calmer.

Bai Yi went on the expedition, and the two sisters were also very worried.

However, Bai Yi had to lead the troops in person, and they persuaded them not to move, so they could only go with Bai Yi.

However, Shouyue was protecting the other party, and if he thought that he was in danger, he could still leave with Bai Yi.

Thinking about it like this, Qiong Yue was a little relieved.
