Liu Tao went on the expedition, and the four women watched him slowly leave with a neatly dressed face, somewhat sad.

Liu Cong and Liu Qiong are more than a year old, maybe they have good genes and can already babble. At this moment, he was led by his mother, watching the familiar person named 'Dad' leave, with a look of doubt and curiosity.

"Assemble!" In the school field, Liu Tao came to the front of the army, looked at the elite army that had been prepared, and gave an order.

In this battle, there were 2,000 foot soldiers, 1,000 crossbowmen, 2,000 cavalry, 1,000 archers, 500 personal guards, 500 trapped camps, and 7,000 soldiers. There were more than 13,000 heavy soldiers. Among them, 100 field doctors and 50 craftsmen were urgently trained.

In the previous year, the soldiers had received some basic knowledge of battlefield first aid. It is said that there is a high probability that the current batch will not be used, but the ones left behind are estimated to be used.

"There are two ways to fight this battle!" Liu Tao looked at everyone, "First of all, we will fully take over the military power of the front line, and at the same time, we will fully take over Wuyuan County; Secondly, in Xihe County, our enemies have only two choices, either surrender or destroy! ”

"Whoa!" The generals responded.

Liu Tao gave a general policy, considering that the scope of Xihe County is also quite large, so it is very likely that the troops will be divided. At least how to fight this point, it will be difficult to give orders one by one slowly, and at this time, the generals of each ministry need to arrange their own arrangements.

The generals who went to battle with the army this time were Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Wen Chou, Yan Liang and Zhang He.

Zhang Fei had a great opinion on this, but Liu Tao needed him to set out from Xianyang after receiving the order, and take the Xun Di Department, the Cheng Lian Department and the Huang Zhong Department to take over the counties of Wuyuan County.

This kind of thing, generally speaking, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei choose one of the two, Liu Tao asked them to guess the boxing at that time, and then Zhang Fei lost...... It is said that the red-faced Guan Gong is black-faced Zhang Fei, this guy is indeed black-faced.

"Expedition!" After making sure that everyone understood the policy, Liu Tao immediately announced.

In this way, the 20,000-strong army marched from Yunzhong County to Luo County, Dingxiang County, where it was the forefront of the invasion of Xihe County. Of course, Manber County in Gohara County is also considered a front line, but if you want to loot places, you must go to rich areas, not to the military towns in the north that have little oil and water and are heavily guarded, right?

Yunzhong County is not far from Luo County, one hundred and fifty miles up, and if you take the high-speed in later generations, it will be almost up and down in two hours.

"Lord, isn't this march speeding up?" When he didn't start to hurry, Guo Jia, who was a military advisor with the army, asked.

Riding a horse is really a toss for a person with a weak physique like him. But if you ride in a carriage, the bumps are just as life-threatening, and after enjoying that experience, Guo Jiadu would rather ride a horse.

Fortunately, he started to defect to Liu Tao at the age of sixteen, and for three years, he insisted on exercising every day under Liu Tao's compulsion. I dare not say that I have reached the level of elite soldiers, or even generals, at least I am much healthier than ordinary people.

"One hundred and fifty miles, you can reach it in about two days, why rush so much? Don't be in a hurry, let the people on the front line take care of it first. Liu Tao replied casually, Zhang Yi asked him to support, but when he arrived did not specify.

If you can, one hundred and fifty miles up and down, divide it into three days and walk slowly, and when you get there, Zhang Yi just hangs up, that's the best.

"In that case, then the subordinates will take the carriage instead." When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled, and then went back to take the carriage. I didn't sit before, that's because in a hurry, this bump is absolutely fatal, but if you don't rush, the carriage must be more comfortable!

"Didn't he come here to check this?" Liu Tao began to feel that he had recruited a fake Guo Jia.

Or did you follow him for three years and succeed in bringing a 'prodigal son' even more crookedly? Forget it, it's crooked, it's crooked, just don't bend......

Not only Guo Jia, but even Du Xian, who was the main bookkeeper, also changed carriages together, and Liu Tao was quite speechless. It was simply announced that the team should prepare a carriage for the military scribes and the older craftsmen.

Some of the medical craftsmen and craftsmen who accompanied the army were in their forties and fifties. Due to the food and living conditions of this era, he looks about the same as sixty or seventy years old, and Liu Tao can also take care of it, who makes people's medical skills and craftsmanship really powerful?

In this way, he went all the way south, and in the evening of the third day, he arrived in Luo County. The defenders here saw a large army coming, and at first hurriedly closed the city gates.

As a result, in less than ten minutes, it was clear that it was a friendly army, so he hurriedly opened the city gate and went out of the city to greet him.

"Where is Zhang Yi now?" Liu Tao saw that there were Luo County County Commanders, County Cheng, and County Lieutenants, but he didn't see Zhang Yi, who was assassinated, and thought that this guy was putting on a show.

"Thorn Shi is recuperating from his injuries and can't stay, please don't be surprised by the general." The county magistrate hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

It turned out that the day before yesterday, the rebel army came to attack Luo County, which was obviously a temptation. At that time, Zhang Yi personally climbed the city wall to command the counterattack, although the thieves did not take any advantage, but the arrows shot over hit Zhang Yi.

Originally, the arrow did not penetrate deep into the flesh, and the problem was not big, but since yesterday, Zhang Yi's injuries have begun to deteriorate, swollen and ulcerate, and the situation has begun to develop towards the worst. This may also have something to do with Zhang Yi's age, people in their sixties have low immunity.

Wound infection or tetanus? When Liu Tao heard this, he thought about it, and said that Zhang Yi was a civilian official, and he didn't have any military power and came to the front line to command, which was already very chaotic. It is said that it is impossible to take the lead in the charge, how can it be attacked and killed by thieves.

It turned out that he was commanding a counterattack at the city wall, and then he was wounded by a stray arrow, and most likely, died of tetanus or wound infection.

He can cure this thing, a 'purifying light' can solve it, the question is, why should he treat it? It's good now, so that he doesn't have a black hand behind his back, at least his conscience won't hurt so much...... Even if he doesn't know if he still has it.

Having said that, I went over to visit that day. As a result, I was told that Zhang Yi had just fallen asleep and could not visit. So I left a few words of greeting, and then settled down here.

You can't ask about the supply of baggage, you can't have a fight, and you have to let him pay for it himself, and after the war, he has to pay for the pension himself, right?

Immediately, I learned that the materials were sent to Taiyuan and Shangdang one after another, and this was not a problem. It's just that in terms of bereavement benefits, you need to wait until it is reported to the imperial court, and then wait for the imperial court to issue it.

The next day, reinforcements from Wuyuan County also came, led by Wang Xi, who came with 3,000 cavalry to support this time. As far as the number of defenders in Wuyuan County is concerned, the cavalry may have been transferred.

After all, they were facing a group of rebels from the Southern Huns, who were basically cavalry, and it was useless to bring foot soldiers over. As for Liu Tao, his foot soldiers were mainly used to protect the baggage troops.

"Wang Duwei, long time no see!" Liu Tao stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

"General Liu, it's been a long time!" Wang Xi smiled reluctantly, if he could, he would prefer not to see him for the rest of his life.

"Since Wang Duwei is here, then I will announce it a little...... Liu Tao didn't care, and immediately announced, "Assassin Shi is currently bedridden, and he has no command. Now as the general of Zhenbei, I declare that everything here is up to me to take over! ”
