"Li Xun."

Li Xun was about to get on the horse, when he suddenly heard someone calling out to him, and when he looked up, he saw Fan Zhongyun walking towards this side from not far away.

"What, you came to see me off?"

"Friends travel far away, and no one says goodbye, doesn't it seem too tragic."

Fan Zhongyun said with a faint smile, and then handed a folded white paper in his hand to Li Xun.

Li Xun took the blank paper and wondered, "What is this?" ”

Fan Zhongyun said silently: "For this war, I have some of my own thoughts, all of which are written on it, you can take a look at it in your spare time, I hope it will help you." ”

Li Xun nodded and put the white paper in his arms.

"Don't be burdened by Huang Zhi's mediocre general title, in my opinion, this person is a brave and resourceful general, but there are too many negative things around him to tie his hands and feet, unable to display his true talent, as a judge of the prison army, if you can help him at a critical moment, this battle of Yingzhou, you should be able to retreat."

Over the past few years, Li Xun's selfless dedication and help, so that Fan Zhongyun has regarded him as a real friend, learned that Li Xun participated in the battle of Yingzhou, Fan Zhongyun put this matter in his heart, it just happened that he had a good friend, in the Ministry of War, so a few days ago, Fan Zhongyun found this person, asked a lot of information about Yingzhou in detail, after a few days of sorting and analysis, Fan Zhongyun came to an astonishing conclusion, the battle of Yingzhou, will never be as simple as it seems on the surface.

Li Xun saw the worry on Fan Zhongyun's face, and there were too many doubts to ask, he knew that Fan Zhongyun must have a lot of things to say to him, but it was too late.

"Take care all the way, I'm back, I'll ask you for a drink."

Fan Zhongyun arched his hand and said.

Li Xun glanced at Fan Zhongyun deeply, nodded emphatically, turned over his horse, and galloped away.

Fifty miles outside the city, the army gathered, the military flag fluttered, and a killing atmosphere filled the entire heaven and earth.

Li Xun was the last to arrive, leading the horse to the far left of the civilian crowd, many of them did not know Li Xun, although they had doubts in their hearts, but at this moment in the serious scene, no one dared to speak and discuss.

There is a high platform in front, where Xiao Zheng, the right attendant of the military department, is making an impassioned speech, counting the sins of Zheng Ze, the envoy of Yingzhou, and at the same time inspiring the soldiers of the army to kill the enemy for the country in order to repay the king's kindness.

Half an hour later, Xiao Zheng finally finished speaking, and then immediately raised his head and shouted: "Long live my emperor." ”

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

All the soldiers raised their weapons in their hands and roared loudly, the scene was spectacular and amazing, even Li Xun was infected by this atmosphere, raised his hand, and shouted long live again and again.

Xiao Zheng handed over a tiger talisman divided into two to Huang Xu, the general of Anguo, and Liu Congxi, the superintendent of the army, one and a half.

"Let's go!"

Huang Yu clenched the half of the tiger talisman in his hand, glanced at the army below with his eyes, and then stretched out his hand and waved it, loudly giving the order for the army to go out.

The army set out to fight, and the team was connected in a straight line, which was dozens of miles long, which was extremely spectacular.

Liu Congxi was quite polite to Li Xun and asked him to share a carriage with him, but Li Xun thought that the horseback march was very foreign, and he followed the torrent of the large army to move forward together, and was infected by its momentum, and his mood was extremely surging, so he politely refused Liu Congxi's invitation, rode a horse, and went all the way.

But Li Xun immediately regretted it.

The normal marching speed of the army, not counting the cavalry, the infantry is about thirty miles in an hour, of course, if the forced march is rushed, it will definitely go faster, but it is generally not done, after all, the forced march is too huge for the consumption of physical strength, if it encounters a sudden attack by the enemy on the way, it has already lost half of the first battle, but now it is still a large rear, and there will be no danger, so Huang Yu issued an order, except for the rear army's grain and grass baggage troops, the rest of the infantry to speed up and move forward.

The march of the troops every day was more than four hours, Li Xun had never experienced such a long period of horseback riding, two hours later, near noon, the army temporarily stopped eating, and the quartermaster soldiers uniformly distributed flour cakes and rice porridge.

Li Xun touched his buttocks, rode down in two hours, and his crotch was already hot, so he went to Liu Congxi, got into his carriage, chatted with him, and the troops continued to hurry, Li Xun didn't say anything, Liu Congxi didn't break it, and Li Xun stayed in the end.

Liu Congxi as a prison army, with hundreds of guards around him, but also with a few cooks, when at dusk, many soldiers of the army were busy camping and cooking, Liu Congxi had already eaten a hot meal, and was accompanied by fine wine and tea, Li Xun couldn't help but sigh, is this out to fight, or to play in the mountains and rivers?

After dinner, Li Xun went to find Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi, but he was refused to enter the camp, Huang Xun had set 17 military regulations, the eighth is that during the night camp, there is no general document general order, no unauthorized entry into the camp, and the soldiers of each battalion are not allowed to visit the camp, the violator of the order 30 military staffs, Li Xun showed his identity, still rejected by the soldiers guarding the door, although a little depressed, but not angry, and secretly praised Huang Xun for leading the troops is quite severe.

Chengping 5th year, July 26.

With the general of Anguo, Huang Xu, as the governor of Pingnan, he led 50,000 troops and set out to Yingzhou.

Huang Zhi took Mao Anfu, the general of the Left Guard, as the vanguard general, led 2,000 cavalry, took the first step, explored and repaired the road conditions in front, patrolled the enemy's situation, and took the Shan Qiu of the Left Guard General as the general of the rear army, led 5,000 infantry, 500 cavalry, and escorted the grain and grass baggage, and Huang Zhen personally led the main force of the Chinese army of more than 40,000 people to march towards Xiangzhou.

August 11.

Originally, it only took eight days to arrive in Xiangzhou, but Huang Xun took twice the time, Li Xun was very low-key in the army, these days of observation, he found that Huang Xun himself is extremely cautious in terms of personality and leadership style, after the army left the pass, Huang Xun immediately ordered the army to return to the normal marching speed, and widely sent patrol rangers to inspect and explore the land within a radius of 100 miles.

Huang Chen's actions were immediately criticized by many generals.

The three armies of the left, center and right of the forbidden army, of which the right army is different from the situation of the other two armies, although Huang Zhi is the leading general of the right army of the forbidden army, but he also has a position, the town guard of Jingping Pass, and the perennial leader of the town of Jingping Pass, to defend against the invasion of the Tubo Empire on the plateau, so Huang Zhen is not in Fengjing most of the time, but in Jingping Pass, resulting in his other position, General Anguo leading the right army of the forbidden army, slowly became a false position, unless there is a major event, the right army of the forbidden army needs to go out to fight, The emperor issued an edict to let him come back to lead the army, otherwise Huang Zhi would not be able to command the right army of the forbidden army at all, so Huang Zhi can be said to have the name of the leading general of the right army of the forbidden army, but his prestige in the army is not high, and the command power is very weak.

At night, in the plain land hundreds of miles away from Xiangzhou City, a very large military camp slowly formed, in the middle of the barracks, a huge tent, which was brightly lit, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers who were closely guarded.

Inside the tent, dozens of high-ranking generals gathered together, and from the volume and tone of their voices, it could be seen that the people inside seemed to be arguing about something.
