"For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of my Han nation, for the sake of our dead brothers, we will fight with all our might, long live the saints, long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the Han Dynasty!"

Long live the saint, long live the Datang, long live the saint, long live the Datang!

With bursts of mountains calling long live, long live falling.

"I announce, Wan Shengjun, go!"

"Hooray, hooray, kill."

As the word fell, rows of soldiers got on the war horses at the same time, and Yang Qiao also walked down the temporary stairs step by step from the tower of the Vermilion Bird Gate with the flag given to him by Li Er, and on both sides of Yang Qiao was the stinky boy Cheng Chumo, and the brother-in-law Sun Chong, these two, one on behalf of the military general and the other on behalf of the Wenchen, all set off with the army.

This flag, there is only one Tang character on it, which means that this is the army of the Tang Dynasty, and others, such as the Wansheng Army or something, also have their own flags, that, before, when the army was formed, it was already there, but this Tang character flag represents the army of the Tang Dynasty.

Even, there is a saying about this staircase, as for how many steps, Yang Qiao doesn't care, but waiting at the bottom of the staircase is a full-width Mingguang armor flag team, which also represents the Tang Dynasty.

When Yang Qiao walked down, he solemnly handed it over to the flag guards of the flag team.

Then, Yang Qiao, Cheng Chumo, and Changsun Chong all turned over and ran to the front of the team.

"Let's go."

With Yang Qiao's order.

This army of 20,000 people set off, which is also the first army to set off from the Suzaku Gate of Chang'an City since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, especially the Suzaku Street is asphalt road, the horseshoe stepped on this street, and the sound of neat stamping sounded, and on both sides, it was the citizens of Chang'an City who spontaneously came to see them off, you know, on the battlefield of Goguryeo, there may be the heads of their families in the Jingguan.

20,000 cavalry?

No, but at this time, these 20,000 people are riding horses, in fact, the real cavalry, less than 10,000, moreover, these war horses, are all real cavalry, others, just temporary borrowing horses, when a certain time, then the cavalry is cavalry, infantry is infantry, at that time, the cavalry's reserve war horses, need to rest, because, this battlefield is changing rapidly, maybe the cavalry fights first, or the infantry fights, so when it is time to prepare, it is necessary to be ready for battle.

Although the road is ready, in Yang Qiao's view, the march is still carried out according to the standard march, but the forward, that is, the logistics team, is just missing the matter of cooking and boiling water, and the rest is still prepared by themselves.

Moreover, in front of the Suzaku Gate in Chang'an City, it is not the first stop of the march, but the starting point of the oath.

The starting point of the march was placed thirty miles outside the city, and here was a large military station.

How is this military station set up, it is mainly a large horse farm, with a relatively large field, which is to set up tents, and then, it is a very large military room that can provide food for thousands of people, to 100,000 people, in peacetime, only a few rooms are firing, for some officials who go to other places to work, as well as some people who go out to do business or do other things to rest and repair, as well as a place to eat and lodging, that is to say, here, is not only a military station, but also a post station.

At this time, because there is no forward yet, everyone is still setting up tents together, and the food is prepared by the military station, but there are not so many men at the military station.

Also, this thirty miles is also a place to collect your heart, and when you set off, on the first day, it is here to put away some distractions, and then you are ready for battle wholeheartedly.

On the way back, they will be repaired here, and then, dressed neatly, or as needed, will go into the city to receive the reward, and some other activities, in general, here is the pick-up station, or drop-off station.

Early the next morning, the striker set off, and the battle was officially begun, and the front station by station, after eight hundred miles of urgency, was already known, and the preparations began.

There are a lot of military stations along the way, but there are not many stops, that is to say, not all military stations need to settle down, at most, some military stations will take a short break, and drink water, deal with personal problems, this, are half a day in advance of temporary notice, all, and are not afraid of someone destroying.

And what to do with crossing the river?

If there is no such thing, that is, maybe, because of a spy or something, this river crossing, maybe, will not pass through the military station, then, the equipment for crossing the river must be prepared by yourself, in fact, this preparation is very simple.

A lot of sheepskin rafts, usually deflated, when the need to cross the river, the sheepskin raft blows up, and then, one by one, in series, and, on the erection of wooden rafts, in this way, there is a simple pontoon, the team can quickly pass, naturally, in the team, there are indispensable some good hands who know the water, in this way, in order to quickly reach the other side.

This is to build a bridge in the water, but there is no road in the mountains, only after arriving in Yingzhou, next, there will be a road in the mountains and a bridge in the water.

However, soon, Yang Qiao estimated that the military station by the river would become a bridge protection team, because, soon, the construction of this bridge would be on the agenda.

Because, judging from the current economy, this river crossing can no longer keep up with the development by ship, so this bridge must be built.

And the mountain, naturally there will be no culverts, but just around the mountain road, or even through the mountain road, through the mountain, it is more troublesome, up and down, if you want to build a track road, perhaps, you also need to open the mountain.

After setting out from the thirty miles, the convoys began to follow, and these convoys were convoys of grain and grass, and they were all composed of merchants.

This is also the method that Yang Qiao came up with temporarily, it seems that he learned it from that, that is, these merchants are responsible for transporting grain and grass, and then, the city he fell, the prisoners of war, and some captures will be handed over to these merchants to deal with, and even, some land, will be sold to these merchants first, which is a mutually beneficial thing.

In fact, it's really hard to say whether this kind of thing is good or not, so these caravans, individual merchants, there are not many, and most of the merchants are from the family, the noble family, among them, there are also royal, that is, the royal, there are several caravans, among them, there are Li Er family, there are other close branches of the Li family.

That is to say, slowly, under the influence of Yang Qiao, this royal industry is the royal industry, the industry of the imperial court, the industry of the imperial court, and even in the future, there may be a lot of royal industry, which will be slowly assigned to the imperial court, that is, the royal will be treated differently from the imperial court.

Even, Yang Qiao's plan is that maybe, in the future, the royal power will slowly become smaller, and the rights of the three provinces will slowly become larger, as for the three provinces, maybe, it will change, when the time comes, what it will change will be, but it is not for Yang Qiao to decide, in short, Yang Qiao is not a theoretician, not a philosopher, sitting at home, or inspecting a few factories, or even a few factories in several countries, you can determine a theory.

Actually, this is a joke, you know, Confucius's Confucianism, that is what Confucius traveled around the world, and it was slowly determined that some other families and that family did not come out behind closed doors.

Therefore, at this time, Yang Qiao's team said that it was 20,000 people, and at this time, 50,000 people were only a lot more, but those merchants could only have a piece of land to camp, and the other treatment, at most, would have some hot water to drink, but they were very happy.

"Brother Li, I heard that Goguryeo's mountain ginseng is good, don't rob me, what our pharmacy lacks the most is medicinal materials, or these high-end medicinal materials, but the antler velvet can be handed over to your family."

Every time they set up camp, the leaders of these caravans would discuss together what they could get when the time came, they absolutely believed in Yang Qiao's combat power, and they didn't worry that Yang Qiao would lose.

What are you worried about, these families, especially the nobles, and the royal caravan, it is worth it, and the teams that cooperate with Yang Qiao's team are hundreds of thousands.
