Chapter 258: On the March
There are a total of 20,000 black armor troops dispatched from Chang'an, including new recruits who have been trained, originally Wu Yueya planned to train for more time, but now there is a shortage of manpower, so they came to Tongguan to better take care of the 50,000 or so Hu prisoners.
Before the expedition, these captives were arranged to go to the banks of the Yellow River north of Tongguan to reclaim wasteland, and more than 50,000 Hu peasants went to the mountains along the Yellow River to clear the wasteland, and only when they could feed them, and grow surplus grain, and open up the area into a rich place, would these captives as laborers be dismissed.
The rainy weather in June disappeared, the morning sun rose, the army array was opened, Wu Yueya rode a war horse, feeling that there was no big white tiger to sit comfortably, and after this battle, he would return to Chang'an, and he would also feed Dabai well.
Looking at the dense black armor army lined up neatly on the desolate land, Wu Yueya turned her back to Tongguan, looked back from front to back, the red flag fluttered in the air, carried the Yundan Han sword on her waist, put on the helmet resting on the horse's head, gently clamped the horse's belly, and came to the front of the military formation, in front of all the generals who went out.
"Soldiers, in this vast land, you are the strongest spear and the strongest shield, this battle, recover Luoyang, put down the rebellion! Banish them from our mountains and rivers! ”
The war horse neighed with the voice of its master, and its front hooves stepped up restlessly, wanting to rush out and rush straight in the direction of the rising sun in front of it, which was the east and the direction of Luoyang.
All the generals looked at Her Royal Highness the princess, and at the same time shouted the slogan of 'recovering Luoyang', and in an instant, the crowd was excited, the horn sounded, and the 100,000-strong army began to march!
Wu Yueya did not ride in the car, and rode a war horse towards the front like many sergeants, passing by the blackened bombing craters that had not been completely eliminated, and occasionally encountered a few pieces of torn clothes on the wasteland between the mountains, and carefully distinguished, he could recognize the clothes that belonged to the Hu sergeant.
No longer paying attention to the ground, facing the slowly dyed sun, Wu Yueya found that Gu Renyi was riding a war horse and approaching with Lu Feng, looking at his smiling face, it seemed that he wanted to come to talk, so he beckoned to Gu Renyi's smile, and did not object to them coming.
"Haha, Your Highness! Uh..."Gu Renyi opened his mouth to speak, just called out the other party's name, he has always been talkative, he didn't know how to take it, and he turned sharply in his heart, it seems that he is old, you know, this is the beautiful and charming Yue Aya Sister who was beautiful at the beginning.
"Brother Gu!" Wu Yueya greeted as usual, "And Brother Lu!" ”
When Lu Ziji heard this, he also bowed humbly, and now in front of them was the commander of the Black Armor Army and the princess of the Tang Dynasty, or, "Your Highness!" ”
The three war horses approached and drove forward side by side, Gu Renyi smiled, as if he remembered something, and suddenly patted the horse's head, making the war horse under his crotch shake his tail violently, "Your Highness, Renyi has a word, I want to ask, I don't know if that one is true at the beginning?" ”
Wu Yueya listened to it with a half-understanding, looked at Gu Renyi's smiling face pretending to be stupid, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Gu Renyi coughed lightly, making his bearded face more normal, "It's that His Royal Highness once said that if you want to marry a princess, then carry the glory of the Tang Dynasty as a dowry..."
Seeing that the princess's face changed slightly, Gu Renyi knew that he seemed to be talking too much.
Wu Yueya heard Gu Renyi talk about the stalk she married a long time ago, her face was a little hot, she really liked to talk a lot, she glanced at Chu'er next to her, and found that the other party actually stuck out her tongue towards herself, slandering her in her heart, and her aunt in her thirties still grimaced.
No longer looking at Chu Er, who was acting immaturely, and instead looked at Gu Renyi who was looking forward to it, Wu Yueya twitched the corners of her eyes again, what do you mean by this expectation, you want to test whether I will get married, well, I won't marry if I die!
"Ha, haha..."Wu Yueya let out a dry laugh, but the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing, put away her smile, coughed lightly, and replied, "Of course you can!" As long as the world is peaceful! ”
But a fart, if you get married, you will smoke a stuffy stick every night before going to bed.
Gu Renyi, who was originally a little worried, returned to his usual activity again, "Your Highness, Renyi has a request, I hope that the eldest Gu Xiong can join the army to study in the future!" Become a general! ”
"How old is he now?" Wu Yueya asked curiously, and at the same time remembered the white and chubby Luo, Gu Renyi's main room.
"Xiaoxiong is ten years old, and he can move stones, which is quite remarkable!" Lu Feng interjected at the right time to improve his sense of existence, and at the same time stubbornly made up his mind in his heart that he must let Taiping return to this world and propose to the princess again, no matter what, he will become the princess's most useful and sharpest knife.
Wu Yueya turned her gaze to Lu Feng, this guy used to like to talk, but now he is silent, "Xiaoxiong?" It seems that he will become a very powerful military general in the future, but it will not be too early to enter the military camp at the age of ten, he still has more paths to choose from. ”
"No, in the Black Armor Army, I think he can learn more, I hope His Highness can promote our Gu family!" Gu Renyi said this in his mouth, and he didn't forget to add an unspoken word in his heart, the Gu family also took a lot of care of the princess at the beginning, and now he also hopes that the Gu family can get the help of the princess.
"Yes, Lu also thinks that he can learn more things in the army! His Highness's Black Armor Army is different from other armies, it always exudes a vigorous vitality and has a very clear division of labor and cooperation! Lu Feng nodded and commented, as if he had encountered something serious.
Wu Yueya kept smiling after hearing this, "Well, although you joined the Black Armor Army later, you are also an indispensable part of the Black Armor Army, and Gu Xiong's entry into the military camp has been decided!" ”
However, Brother Lu, although you are a lot older, you don't always have to be so serious, for Gu Renyi's promotion, Wu Yueya also thought about it carefully, the operation of the Journey to the West Restaurant can be used for their reference, and they can strengthen the investigation of intelligence in other places for themselves.
"What thoughts or practices do you have for the Gu family?" Wu Yueya asked Gu Renyi, Chang'an is now her master, and it is natural to promote anything.
Gu Renyi thought for a long time, and finally spoke, his expression was no longer as casual and natural as before, "Now Jingzhou is guided by the Gu family, the family is dominant, and it is only in Jingzhou, in fact, my father has always hoped to expand the family business to the outside, and he originally set up a line in Chang'an, but the war broke out, so he put it on hold again, and even some of the shopkeepers in Chang'an were withdrawn, and all the ten years of hard work in Chang'an were wiped out!" His old man has been depressed all day long because of this incident, which is also the reason why Renyi wants His Highness to be promoted! ”
Wu Yueya listened carefully, nodded, and also knew the reason for the matter, Gu Renyi is still the same as always, Da Xiaozi, "Yes, you write a letter to your father, let him go directly to Chang'an to operate, Chu'er, plan to write a letter to Taibai, let him connect with the Gu family, and reshuffle all the old commercial forces in the city before I return to Chang'an!" ”
Chu Er eavesdropped on the words in front of her, and when she heard the little lady paging, she rode forward and took the order.
Continuing to chat, the day passed like this, and the Black Armor Army also drove out of the mountains smoothly and came to a wilderness garrison to camp.
