Five hundred archers, five hundred crossbowmen, two thousand cavalry, and five hundred guards, these are all the soldiers and horses that Liu Tao brought out this time, and there are only 2,500 people. There were no baggage troops, but the army brought five hundred more horses.

"That is, when you reach the front line, you can get supplies, otherwise if you count the baggage troops, it will cost seven thousand." Before setting out, Liu Tao looked at the cavalry phalanx in front of him and sighed.

Prepare two to three days of dry food, after all, they are all cavalry, how can they pass through two county towns in one day, prepare five hundred war horses at the same time, carry enough funds, buy supplies in the local area after two or three days, prepare new dry food, and rest for a day by the way.

"It's fine when you go, but what about when you go back?" Lu Yan was still a little worried.

"It's rare to beg for a thief, how can there be no loot at all?" Liu Tao said jokingly. He's just seconding past allies, so a lot of things will be freer. In terms of loot, it is natural that no one will be polite.

"That's true, anyway, just be careful." Lu Yan was stunned and didn't remind anything anymore.

It was the dozen or so scribes who accompanied the army, and in the case of cavalry marching, it was actually worse to ride in a carriage. Thanks to the scribes of this era, they were not as weak as they were in the Wei and Jin dynasties, so they rode horses together.

The process was not very comfortable, but fortunately, Liu Tao was able to treat them, but unfortunately there was no way to recover from the fatigue.

"Qian Huangmen, can you stand it?" Liu Tao smiled and walked to Qian Fu's side, he didn't take special care of this and the five guards, especially this Qian Fu was in a carriage, and he almost lost half his life on the bumpy road.

"I can stand it...... Qian Fu is also reckless, in fact, it is nothing to go back to Luoyang as soon as possible to recover his life, but this Liu Tao is in a hurry is too exaggerated, it seems that he has already passed by three cities this day, and he has already entered the boundary of Dingxiang County.

God knows how it took so long, and eating was all on the road while moving. Bai Ji bun with salted jerky, water bladder on the other side, this day did not stop to rest, until before nightfall, in Dingxiang County Tongguo County outside the county.

At this rate, I will probably be able to get to Mayi tomorrow, but how can I survive with my small body?

"When I arrive in Mayi tomorrow, I will stay there for a day, buy supplies, and prepare dry food for the next two or three days." Liu Tao explained, "If Qian Huangmen needs it, you can enter Mayi for a walk." ”

"That's right...... That's okay. Liu Tao said that, Qian Fu breathed a sigh of relief, if he had been in such a hurry, it was estimated that he would have been gone before he returned to Luoyang.

In the evening of the next day, the whole army did arrive at the side of Ma Yi smoothly, and the Taishou of Yanmen sent someone to inquire, after all, an army suddenly came to his territory, how could he not ask.

When Liu Tao showed the tiger talisman to explain his intentions, the latter was relieved, and at the same time expressed support for the purchase of materials.

It took a day to rest and buy supplies on the side of Mayi, and the next morning he continued his expedition. In the evening of the same day, or at night, they arrived in Yangqu County, Taiyuan County.

"I can almost arrive in Taiyuan tomorrow...... When the time comes, you and I will be separated. Liu Tao looked at Qian Fu.

"Taishou wants to go to the front line to make meritorious contributions, and I can't hold back." Qian Fu smiled, in fact, he wished he had separated quickly, such a high-intensity march was really unbearable.

"Haha, I will have the opportunity to go to Luoyang in the future, and then I will visit Qian Huangmen." Liu Tao laughed, and he didn't break it.

Two days later, the two sides officially parted ways, and it was only at this time that Liu Tao gave the order to move forward at full speed.

They are all cavalry, especially Xianbei horses with strong endurance, and long-distance running itself is the characteristic of this kind of horse. It was only in order to take care of Qian Fu that he had to slow down, and of course there was also a 'Acceleration Technique' bonus factor.

"Lord...... Or how about maintaining this speed? Guo Jia stepped forward to beg for mercy, and the civil officials behind him also nodded, they didn't understand why the previous speed was not at full speed.

But they know very well that if they continue to accelerate, they will really have problems.

"What do you think?" Liu Tao looked at Lu Bu and the others, of course these people don't care, everyone is professionally trained, and this intensity of training is really nothing.

"Forget it, we still have to maintain enough energy to fight the rebels, so we can continue to maintain this speed!" Liu Tao thought about it, and finally made a decision.

In the end, it took about 12 days to arrive in Chang'an. Everyone is in the dust, but fortunately, they are all quite energetic.

When you arrive near Chang'an, you can see from a distance that the city wall is already full of defenders and ready for battle. Liu Tao had to send Zhang Fei out and come to the city wall to explain his intentions.

"General Zhenbei, Yunzhong Taishou, Duting Marquis Liu Taobu, was ordered to come to support, and has now arrived, please open the door!" Zhang Fei's loud voice could be heard by most of Chang'an City.

Thanks to this, the originally tense atmosphere was eased slightly, and from time to time, a general came forward to ask: "Where is Liu Tao, can you step forward to answer?" ”

Liu Tao happened to arrive at this time, and when he heard this, he immediately stepped forward and arched his hand towards the city wall: "Ben will be here!" ”

"How?" Seeing Liu Tao, the general above, looked at the people around him.

"It's indeed Liu Tao, as expected, the one who just shouted should be his brother-in-law Zhang Fei." Huangfu Song looked down on the city wall, confirmed that it was correct, and said to the generals beside him.

He is currently guilty of a crime, and Zhang Wen asked him to stay in the army, but he has no military power, only the status of joining the army, as a civilian officer with the army. However, Huangfu Song originally allowed Wen Yunwu, even if he was a civil official, he could adapt quickly and do a good job.

"Since it's okay, let's open the door!" The general next to him nodded, and then ordered to go down.

With the opening of the gate, Liu Tao's department also entered Chang'an City. Not long after, the general who had just been on the city wall came to him with several other generals.

"I am Zhang Wen, the general of the chariot cavalry, and the general of Zhenbei is really fast, and in ten days, he came from the clouds." The leader of the general, that is, Zhang Wen stepped forward and said with a smile.

Originally, it was said that it was a month, but it turned out that the other party came over in more than ten days, and after calculating the distance between the two places, it can really be described as speed. This is not Liu Tao's department, Zhang Wen can't believe that it is them, and has to ask Huangfu Song to identify it.

"Since we are begging for thieves, then we are naturally duty-bound. Besides, Ben General brought all the cavalry to the south this time, so he hurried with all his might, which is why he has today's speed. Liu Tao said with a smile, "Now that our department has arrived, how to fight, please ask the general of the chariot cavalry to order." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry......," Zhang Wen said with a smile, "Our army is sending spies to understand the movements of the thieves, and we can't take the initiative to attack until we understand the situation." It just so happened that General Zhenbei should also be tired, and he could rest for two days. ”

"Why can't the thieves' movements be discovered?" Liu Tao is strange, he has been fighting for so long, and he still doesn't know about the thief?

"The thieves are all cavalry, and their whereabouts are uncertain, and it is not easy to know the exact location." Zhang Wen sighed.
