In the winter of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, in Jinyang City, it suddenly became disturbed.

There is no other reason, that is, it is rumored that Ma Yi has changed, Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou finally started fighting, in this winter day when water has turned into ice.

And Wang Rengong was defeated by Liu Wuzhou's elite soldiers in the clouds, and asked for help from Tang Guogong in Hedong!

Up and down Jinyang City, who doesn't know that Tang Guogong is about to raise troops, and the most worried is Wang Rengong of Mayi County on the flank. At this moment, Wang Rengong asked Tang Guogong for help, which was equivalent to handing over the letter of surrender and handing over the portal to Tang Guogong. How could Tang Guogong miss this kind of opportunity?

For a while, all the people in Jinyang City rushed up, dispatched troops and horses, and prepared to go on the expedition.

It is naturally impossible for the Eagle Yang Mansion of the Sixth Army of the Left Imperial Guard in Hedong to move. The soldiers and horses who went out to Mayi County were all drawn from Shimen Yingyang Mansion and Yongan Yingyang Mansion. These two Yingyang Mansions are also the Yingyang Mansions in the forefront of the twelve guards in the heyday of the Great Sui. After Tang Guogong's entire army and military force these days, it can be regarded as full of soldiers and horses, and the equipment is complete. They are also eager to try, ready to follow Tang Guogong to make great contributions in this battle for the world!

In Jinyang City, it was already in a wartime state. 3,000 troops and horses were dispatched to the expedition in winter, and although the military supplies, grains, and equipment to be prepared could be called a mountain of piles, but under the full operation, the deployment was stopped within a few days, and the soldiers and generals were all selected and deployed.

And the commander of the expedition, after a few days of speculation, also settled. Tang Guogong asked his second son, Shimin, to be the commander of the side and set out in person!

When this news came out, it aroused a wave of discussion in Jinyang City.

Everyone knows that Tang Guogong loves him, the heroic second son, with the noble daughter of the eldest grandson. When he was stationed in Hedong and was preparing to participate in the battle of the world, he praised Li Shimin many times for his courage and enterprising, and he was a thousand miles away for the Li family. Even when it was built, it was not worried about its status as a son.

But now, Tang Guogong seems to have finally made a choice. Li Jiancheng has the status of the prince, and he is like Mount Tai. Li Shimin, on the other hand, was exiled. I can't catch up with the battle of Chang'an Dingding in the west!

In Jinyang City, the children of the family celebrate with their foreheads. And because Li Shimin has never been close to the family, at this moment, I don't know how many cool words there are behind his back. And the praise of Tang Guogong's wisdom is endless.

And the people of the family who controlled the affairs under the account of the Tang State also made all preparations for the expedition as quickly as possible, and the efficiency was so high that it was simply jaw-dropping.

After a few days of disturbance, the army and horses went north, and the auspicious day will be dispatched.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The horn whined, and the sound shook the school field in Cangcheng.

Jinyang Palace can actually be regarded as a military fortress, and the warehouse city that wraps Jinyang Palace is full of cantonments used by the emperor of the great cause to place military horses, as well as a school field for military exercises.

It turned out that in the plan of the Son of Heaven, Jinyang Palace, together with the Cangcheng that wrapped it, should be able to station nearly 200,000 accompanying military horses. On the periphery, there are more than 200,000 military horses guarding layer by layer.

Such a huge project, limited by financial and material resources, did not proceed according to plan. But now inside and outside the Jinyang Palace, tens of thousands of military horses can still be arranged, which is still more than enough!

On the loess paved Cangcheng North School Field, there are already six or seven battalions of soldiers and horses gathered. The battalion flags, battalion general flags, brigade main flags, and dozens of flags of different sizes are flying. Behind each fire commander, there is also a triangular flame on his back to recognize the flag, which is divided into different colors according to the different battalion numbers.

Each sergeant was dressed in a heavy uniform. They are cloaks made of heavy and sturdy fabric, and the inside of the cloak is a jacket filled with silk cotton. Each sergeant had his own armor, all of which were loaded in the accompanying carts, and his own people who had been sent from Hedong were transported all the way north with the army.

Normally, every time a large army goes out, there are also those generals from families and the accompanying soldiers and generals, these are not attributed to the battalions, but just quietly follow their respective generals. These entourage soldiers and generals are often in splendid brocade robes and bright armor. Follow their respective generals, show off their might, and make the army much more magnificent.

In that year, the Son of Heaven of Great Cause went on an expedition to Goryeo, and many people from the family went on the expedition. The Great Cause of Heaven ordered troops, tens of thousands of strong and strong, armed to the teeth of the family soldiers and generals gathered, under the banner of their respective masters, that grand state, it was simply the most glorious moment of the Great Sui Empire.

However, on this expedition, I did not see a soldier of the family's private family.

The trumpets sounded over and over again, and the soldiers stood in order. But there wasn't much excitement.

Selecting troops and transferring generals, Jinyang did not embarrass Li Shimin. In Shimen Yingyang Mansion and Yongan Yingyang Mansion, the top battalion head was selected. The soldiers and generals are all the choice of the moment, and they are not as weak as the Eagle Yang Mansion of the Sixth Army.

For these battalion leaders who were selected to drive north of Mayi, the soldiers in the land of Mayi were fierce and dangerous, and it was nothing. To be a soldier is to eat a meal that licks blood with a knife. In such a troubled era, he is about to stand out with military exploits. Some people are willing to take this risk.

But this time, Ma Yi was obviously exiled to guard the back of the army, and he had to watch the army march west to Chang'an to make meritorious contributions!

With such a gap and comparison, the elite battalion leaders selected by the two Eagle Yang Mansions are really unable to keep up their spirits from top to bottom. It's just that I lament that everyone's lives are not good enough.

Before the expedition, those people from families who were originally stuffed in the battalions were transferred out one after another. and added some unlucky people with no background to fill the gap. Such a move made morale depressed by three points.

At the sound of the horn, the battalions will stand at the front of the ranks, all silent, just resigned to their fate and waiting for the moment of departure.

It's just that the army is launched, and there are a lot of notes. The so-called big event, in Rong is worshipping, I really don't know how long it will be delayed here.

In Jinyang Palace, a team of people finally walked out. In front of the team, there are dozens of generals in brocade clothes, holding Li Shimin's general flag.

Among the many generals, it is Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng Li Yuanji brothers. Shicai is setting up wine in the palace, and Li Jiancheng is strong for his second brother.

Three brothers, walking side by side. Li Jiancheng's expression was gentle, but Li Yuanji had a playful expression, while Li Shimin had a serious expression and few words, and he didn't know whether he was depressed or if he was in the identity of the commander of the army at this moment.

Seeing the camps in the school field, they were already standing neatly. Li Jiancheng raised his horsewhip, pointed to the soldiers and said with a smile: "Erlang, these are all selected high-ranking battalion heads, armor and ordnance, all of which are made up, and the insufficient number is drawn from the Eagle Yang Mansion of the Sixth Army." In addition, 4,000 people and 800 sturdy cattle were requisitioned and transported, and the grain was enough to support April. But if there is a need, there will be an endless stream of help. This is above, don't say that you are a brother or not. ”

Without waiting for Li Shimin to answer, Li Yuanji grinned and laughed: "What else can you say?" It's nothing more than Da Lang asking Erlang to go to Ma Yi! No matter how many elite soldiers and strong generals are given, and ten years of grain and straw, Erlang can't cheer up. But whoever makes Da Lang the son of the world must accompany his father to the west to Chang'an to determine the overall situation. I'm young and can't take on a heavy responsibility, so I can only work hard for Erlang to go through this............ When the time comes, we will wait for Erlang in Chang'an! ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanji, who had been gloating these days. Towards Jiancheng arched his hand: "What did my brother say?" This time, my brother let me lead the second brother and sit in Mayi, I am really grateful. My father has raised me for many years, and it is my heart to finally be able to work for my father in one aspect! If it weren't for the imminent expedition, before the soldiers, the second brother should worship his brother! ”

These high-spirited words made Li Jiancheng feel a little embarrassed, and he could only wave his hand and say: "Between our brothers, why do we need to say these words?" Let's wait for my father to give Erlang a section and a strong line for Erlang! In the future, Erlang will succeed, you and my brothers will get together, and then conspire to get drunk! ”

After saying this, Li Jiancheng sped up his horse until he was in front of the army. All three brothers turned to the west opening of the school grounds. Xisheng Jin, the main soldier. The Duke of Tang Guo has since entered and awarded Li Shimin the temperance to see off the three thousand military horses for the sacrificial flag!

The Hedong Tigers, in the eyes of the world, are finally about to start showing their minions!
