Among the people who watched the parade, there was a very large group, that is, those who moved from Goguryeo last year, in Guanzhong for more than half a year, their lives, of course, were better than when they were in Goguryeo, it was not as cold as in the northeast, the houses allocated to them by the imperial court had warm ondols, the price of grain was cheap, and the imperial court also distributed relief grain, the key is this year's spring ploughing, they almost did not have any input, and they harvested a lot of grain.

Now, they no longer have much hatred for the Tang Dynasty, on the contrary, they are willing to settle down here, according to the trainee judge who often goes to the village to preach the law and read the newspaper, soon, they will live in new brick houses, and the factories in Weinan are also very willing to recruit the young and strong among them to work, as long as they hold the household registration issued to them by the imperial court, they are no different from the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Today, the county commander of their county, the lieutenant governor, arranged them together to watch the military parade, it is said that this is to let them see the demeanor of the Tang Emperor with their own eyes, and know the significance of the Tang Emperor's Eastern Crusade.

Therefore, Li Shimin's luxury parade car stopped in the center of the formation between them and the Tang army, and the emperor, who was majestic and mighty, turned his back to them and faced the Tang soldiers, and began to speak.

"Since the former Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo, the barbarian country in the East, has repeatedly violated the border of our Central Plains, what is the so-called?"

"It's all because of the bitter cold of the land, the people live in hardship, and they have no clothes, so they have to do it."

Li Shimin's opening sentence first exempted Goguryeo from the crime of invading the Central Plains Dynasty, and put it in the same situation as the Turks who were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty before, and blamed the cause of the war on the weather environment.

After all, whether it is the former Sui or the Tang Dynasty, the large-scale war in the northeast is the main attack of the Central Plains Dynasty and the main defense of Goguryeo.

Since the founding of the Li Tang Dynasty, there was actually no conflict with Goguryeo, and King Rongliu planned to live in peace with the Tang Dynasty after learning that Li Shimin had destroyed the Turks, but at the instigation of Wang Hao, Yuangai Suwen suddenly carried out a coup d'état, and also led troops to invade Hebei Province, forcing the Tang Dynasty to hand over Gaode, of course, Yuangai Suwen's army was in Hebei Province, in fact, there was no actual conflict with the Tang army, it was Su Dingfang who led the four coalition forces and captured more than a dozen cities in the northeast of Goguryeo, and the war began.

The purpose of Li Shimin's eastern expedition to Goguryeo was to completely rule Goguryeo, so he could not let the people's hatred continue, which was very unfavorable to the subsequent governance, so he had to set the name at the place where he went out.

It is necessary to first make the people of the two countries understand the reasons for the outbreak of the previous war, and then put themselves on the side of justice.

"After the founding of the country by Li Tang, I vigorously developed the people's livelihood and was rich in products, which was enough to solve the hardships of the people of Goguryeo.

However, the rebellious minister and thief Yuan Gai Suwen acted against the sky, assassinated the monarch, provoked border provocations, and rekindled the war between the people of our two countries and fought each other, which is a heinous crime.

Now, Gaode, the son of King Rongliu, has adhered to his father's will, has declared himself a vassal to our Tang Dynasty, and has organized a large army in Goguryeo itself to fight against the rebels of Yuangai Suwen.

But the rebel army is strong, Gaode is invincible, and I, Datang, as the suzerain, can't see the subjects under my rule in dire straits and not rescue them.

Yes, I raised an army of 300,000 to the east, aiming to quell the rebellion, and return my Tang subjects to a peaceful world of Haiqing Heyan, are you willing to go with me? ”

"Go to the soup and go to the fire, and ······ it"

Li Shimin's every sentence needs to be repeated slowly by the heralds, however, the 100,000 army, to his answer, is uniform, resounding throughout the world, this kind of shouting, once again drove the mood of the subjects, at this moment, there are those retired soldiers who have military experience, they are eager to turn around and go home to pack their weapons, follow the army to set off, go to Goguryeo, and have a good time.

"Okay."

The oath of the crowd finally stopped after Li Shimin applauded loudly.

After the scene was quiet, he said, "I have three orders, the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition, and listen to them."

The first order is that the officers and men of the three armed forces must strictly abide by military law, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. ”

"No······"

"The second order, where the officers and soldiers of the three armies pass, must be lawless with Minqiu, and those who violate the order will be beheaded."

"No······"

"The third order is that our army is determined to quell the rebellion, and those who are not heinous and stubborn must not make more killings, surrender the army and take prisoners, do not kill a person indiscriminately, and behead those who violate the order."

"No······"

After Li Shimin's three orders were finished, those Goguryeo people who understood Chinese were all moved, and they didn't know who took the lead first, kneeling on the ground and shouting "His Majesty the Emperor is benevolent".

After that, the scene was out of control.

More than 200,000 people from more than 100,000 Goguryeo households were arranged by local officials to come to the city to watch the ceremony, and these people fell to their knees one after another, shouting "Your Majesty the Emperor is benevolent" repeatedly.

And more Li Shimin's fanatics, who didn't know the situation, also bowed down one after another, resulting in a circle of miles in front of the entire imperial city, full of people kneeling and chanting "His Majesty the Emperor's benevolence".

This effect was unexpectedly good, anyway, Li Shimin himself was moved by the scene in front of him.

With the beginning of the performance of the "Farewell March", the military parade oath ceremony, announced the end, 100,000 troops took advantage of the sun has not yet reached the most vicious time, have returned to the Longshouyuan military camp to pack up their bags, ready to set off, due to the weather, the army is using the day and night out of the marching mode, anyway, now there is a wide cement road in the pass, walk up at night, does not affect.

Moreover, without the knowledge of others, they can also divide their troops to Shuzhong, after all, the 100,000 troops reviewed by Li Shimin really went north to participate in the battle of the Eastern Expedition, only more than 30,000 people, but the news of these troop transfers, outsiders do not know, they only think that the 100,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty are all participating in the Eastern Crusade!

The logistics army of 5,000 people, escorting more than 2,000 truckloads of grain and grass, and two horses, took the lead in setting foot on the northbound road.

The load of these cars is about ten stones, there are ball bearings, in fact, its driving resistance is actually very small, a horse is enough to pull easily, equipped with double engines, just to replace, to ensure speed.

The steel structure of the wheel, but also let him not afraid of the road rugged potholes, yes, after the road, these cars go very fast, especially in the Guanzhong section of the cement road.

"That, Brother Masaaki······"

I don't know when, Cheng Chumo hit his horse to Sun Xiangfu's side, and shouted at him with a flattering smile.

"In the army, you must call the governor." When Sun Xiangfu saw his smiling face, he knew that nothing was good, so he interrupted him first.

Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly, "That, okay, Dadudu, the last general has some personal matters I want to tell you!" ”

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, his heart was really like this, and he said expressionlessly, "Since you are in the army, what are you talking about private matters!" Focus on the march. ”

"Hey, that's really it, I have to find you to do it! I also asked the governor to make it convenient to send a letter to his sister-in-law, and send the girl who was like smoke to the art troupe. ”

"The art troupe is not a place to hide dirt and dirt, and those who do skin and meat business on the painting boat can also enter casually?"

"I don't like what you say, Ruyan is not in the leather and meat business, she is a performer and not a person, speaking of which, this is thanks to your civic policy, so that the Wang family does not dare to force her ······"

"Cheng Heizi, you're done."

"Don't worry, although I like her, I will never delay my business because of this."

"Don't delay, why do you think I just said you're finished, my guards have already begun to attack the convoy, you are still here with me inkblots, I don't know your iron ass, I can't resist my military stick for a while."

"What? And that's where it begins? ”

There will be military training from time to time along the way, this greeting, Sun Xiangfu has already fought with Cheng Chumo, and now, if he is not properly disposed of, he will be punished, and it is also a matter of course, half an hour later, Cheng Chumo's iron butt skill was abolished, swollen Lao Gao, not to mention riding a horse, lying on the grain cart to hurry, he was all shouted in pain.

"I said, you're really fighting!"

"If you don't fight, you can remember it for a long time? With your current configuration, you can still let people get close to the team quietly, do you know how big a mistake this is? If it's really on the front line, it's enough to behead you. ”

"Ahh Is it so serious, the enemy attack was discovered a little late. ”

"That's it? 5,000 people, divided into 10 battalions, plus the scout captain, I have equipped you with 20 pairs of binoculars, and one of these 20 binoculars is in charge of guarding, and it will not be hit, so that there will be a reaction, is this problem not serious? ”

"Uh, didn't you just come out of Chang'an, the big guy didn't expect it."

"The enemy will also pick a position you can't think of, and it is useful for you to tell him such a reason?"

"Alright! It's my fault, I admit to being beaten, so let's talk about the girl like smoke······"

"You're done again."

"Ahh No way! If you keep doing this, you're not tired! ”

Cheng Chu said silently, jumped up from the roof of the car with a grunt, and the whistle on his chest was about to blow when he took it into his mouth, but his eyes looked at the front and back of the convoy, but he did not find that he had been attacked.

With an annoyed face, he spit out the whistle and looked at Sun Xiangfu and said, "Do you mean anything to play me?" ”

Sun Xiangfu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't say that the enemy attacked, it was just that you were overly nervous." However, this shows another problem, you don't have confidence in your own detection and monitoring system, and moreover, it's not perfect. ”

Soon, Sun Xiangfu brought the topic of talking to Cheng Chumo again, and talked about the use of telescopes and scouts, for the use of these new equipment, military masters like Li Jing and Su Dingfang have already explored many effective methods, but unfortunately, Cheng Chumo, who has not participated in the exchange meeting of Shanyang Dabi, does not know at all, so Sun Xiangfu has to talk to him from the beginning, after all, such a thing as a telescope is also the first time to be equipped with military services other than the expeditionary army, the flying cavalry army and the Anbei army.
