Zhang Zhifang couldn't help but lean in and look after hearing this, only to see Li Zhen behind the three thousand iron cavalry standing in ten teams, dressed in Xuanjia, with a solemn expression.

"Tsk, where is this look like going deep behind enemy lines and running for half a month for a long time, why do everyone look more energetic than me?" Zhang Zhifang couldn't help but sigh.

And Li Maoxun's eyes were even more surprised, he has been in the army for more than ten years, he is used to seeing the high-spirited when he returns from success, and he has also seen a lot of depression when he is defeated, but he has never seen the light breeze of the army in front of him, it seems to be more solemn before he is about to go on the expedition, even if he is a wounded soldier and a disabled general, he still has a calm face.

"These people...... It's the ...... you brought out," asked Li Maoxun, still incredulous.

"Let General Li smile, this trip out of the pass to defend against the enemy, originally thought to take them to make meritorious contributions, in the end the enemy did not kill a few, but in vain lost some people and horses, but let Li have no shame to face the envoy!"

Although Li Zhen did not answer Li Maoxun's question directly, these words are enough to explain everything.

"Hahaha, if you Li Zeyuan is not considered to have made meritorious contributions this time, then there will be no meritorious service in this border crisis, yesterday Aya also said to the generals, when you return to General Fuyuan, it is the time to ask for credit for you to the court, this time the credit is too great, even Aya does not dare to accept anything from you casually, so I have to ask Your Majesty to give you a favor!"

Then, Zhang Zhifang laughed in a low voice: "Aya said, it shouldn't be a big problem for you to be crowned a county prince this time!" ”

After saying that, Zhang Zhifang turned over and dismounted, and grabbed the reins of Li Zhen's mount: "I, Lu Long, have always only looked at military merits, regardless of my background, today I Zhang Zhifang is convenient to lead the horse and catch the rope for the virtuous brother!" ”

Seeing this, Li Zhen raised his leg and was about to get off the horse, but was pushed back by Zhang Zhifang, "Don't ask for a mother-in-law, like a mother-in-law!" ”

"Let's go!" Zhang Zhifang raised his throat and shouted, ignoring the wryly smiling gazes of the Lu Long soldiers behind him, and just walked straight in the direction of the city gate.

Zhang Zhifang walked very slowly, with a hundred horsemen in front of him, accompanied by a large army behind him, and on both sides of the road were the people of Danzhou City.

Li Zhen sat on the horse, and he felt the blazing gaze cast by the generals and the people, like charcoal, scorching Li Zhen's body was hot and sweating profusely.

This is the second time that Li Zhen has had such a strange feeling, because he has become accustomed to doing things that cannot see the sun, whether it is conspiracy, conspiracy, scheming, calculation, and there has never been a time when he has put himself in front of the public like this today to bear the favor and applause of everyone.

For the first time, on the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet in the Calyx Building of Daming Palace, Li Zhen made ten poems in ten steps, which topped the dynasty and became famous in Chang'an.

This time, 3,000 iron cavalry left the Chongqing Pass, destroyed the B Chamber, entered the Bohai Sea, and sought Luancang, and even introduced the 100,000 troops of the Hujia Dynasty into Murowei without any commitment from Li Chen.

No one would have thought that today under the city of Danzhou, it was this young man who was trembling and sweating profusely on horseback, and his name was about to resound in the three towns of Heshuo.

After entering Danzhou, Li Zhen did not stay for a long time, and in the early morning of the next day, he had already assembled his troops and horses and marched in the direction of Youzhou, while Zhang Zhifang did not accompany him because he was ordered to be stationed in Danzhou with Li Maoxun to deal with post-war affairs.

According to Zhang Zhifang, Li Zhen learned that the day before the invasion of Murwei by the Murwei army, the Uighur Usuke Khan was killed by the Great Minister Yi Yin, and then unsurprisingly established Ge Twist as the new Khan, and Nali continued to hold the Uighur military power.

For Nali, he is one step closer to the once unattainable dream of the Khan, whether it is Ge Twist or Yi Yin, it is just a chess piece in his hand, and only Wen Taowu's own can be qualified for the position of Khan.

But what Nari did not expect was that on the very second day of his return, the Ghae would come, with their scimitars and arrows, and with them the lingering hatred of the Uighurs.

On that day, hundreds of thousands of Uighurs were slaughtered by the red-eyed Uighurs, and the unwilling Nari was chopped into meat by the iron hooves of the Uighurs.

After the Uighurs were destroyed, Pei Luo naturally did not mind carrying and beating the Murowei people, and in this battle, the Uighurs were destroyed and completely disappeared in the smoke and clouds of history.

The Lu Long army sent troops to the Xi and Khitan tribes, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Zhou Qi, who had already been ambushed on the periphery of Murowei, divided into three routes with a total of 70,000 troops to launch a joint attack on it in the north and south.

Three days later, when the Xi army was wiped out, the king of Xi led his troops to flee west, and finally hid in the mountains and forests in the north of Yanzhou, and did not dare to take half a step.

Although the Khitan clan did not have the luck of overthrowing the country, they were also defeated by the Lu Long army, and it would be difficult to restore today's prosperity without ten years of work.

After the First World War, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty was completely eliminated, and even Li Zhen did not expect this result, after all, this was half a year earlier than the date recorded in the history books, and it was only at this time that Li Zhen understood that the result of changing history may not be as pessimistic as he imagined.

At least he is still alive, at least he has nothing to lose, at least things are developing in his favor, at least he has finally gained a foothold in Lulong and Hebei.

What's more, there are nearly 3,000 iron horsemen under his command, and this is just the first step for him to take out in Hebei, although these 3,000 iron horses are still in his hands for the time being, but after all, they are temporarily transferred from the three towns of Lulong, Chengde, and Henghai, they speak different dialects, have different habits, and have their own different military status.

Li Zhen didn't know how many of the nearly 3,000 people were willing to give up their original army to follow him, and even if there were, how much loyalty there were, what Li Zhen wanted was a force that was absolutely loyal to himself and would not allow outsiders to get involved.

Li Zhen has his own plans for the future, but at the same time he is a person who does not act according to plans, and he is used to adapting to opportunities rather than following a step-by-step approach.

For these three thousand iron horses, Li Zhen will naturally not return them, but if this is the case, then these people must be completely loyal to him.

Training the army, Li Zhen thinks that he is inferior to Gao Biao, Xu Liang, and even Zheng Zhen can't reach it, but if it comes to penetrating people's hearts and making connections, Li Zhen has unparalleled confidence in himself.

"Everything comes first, then, let me give you everything you want!"

Li Zhen on horseback smiled and groaned to himself.
