Fifth Yao saw that Li Yaoji, who had returned home, was a little worried, and asked nervously, "Why are you so worried?" ”

Li Yaowei smiled slightly and shook his head, "It's not a big deal, Tuyuhun and the party invaded Minzhou, and His Majesty ordered me to lead troops to the battle." ”

"Huh? Will the Xiang Guild lead troops to fight? ”

"No, it won't." Li Yaojian shook his head, "However, I brought the troops equipped with bombs, so there should be no problem." ”

Fifth Yao nodded, but she was more concerned about Li Yaoyu's safety, "Xianggong, have you asked Your Majesty to let me follow?" ”

"Of course." Li Yaoyu smiled, looked at her bright eyes and said, "If you are not by my side, I can't do anything." ”

Hearing Li Yaoji's affectionate words, Fifth Yaoyan smiled and pinched his face, and Li Yaozhen gently scratched her nose "not to be outdone".

The two walked to the living room and called the others, "Minzhou has been invaded by foreign enemies, Your Majesty ordered me to lead troops to go on the expedition, it may take a while to go, you stay here and wait for me to come back, if you encounter something that cannot be solved, go to my father-in-law, or Zijing, please go to your father for help." ”

"Xianggong, are you going alone?" Xiaoxuan was very worried and reluctant.

"Don't worry, with the lady with me, I won't be in danger." Li Yaoyu smiled, he was reluctant to leave them, but the emperor ordered him to resist, and tried to pull out a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon." ”

"County Lord, can I follow along?" Xie Yunfei came up and spoke expectantly.

Li Yaoyu tilted his head, looked at him and asked, "I'm going to fight, do you know what a war is?" ”

"You know, go into battle and kill the enemy, or be killed by the enemy."

"You're not afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid, but I want to go more, I want to make meritorious contributions!" Xie Yunfei said proudly.

"Why? There are other ways to make meritorious contributions. ”

Xie Yunfei thought for a while, "But now there is an opportunity, in terms of talent, I am not as good as the county prince, and in terms of being an official and handling cases, I am not as good as my father." I want to fight a war, and if I can kill an enemy, I want to contribute to the country, and a good man should serve the country. ”

"Okay, just don't scare your legs."

"Jungong, you agreed? Haha, thank you so much. Xie Yunfei laughed excitedly.

Li Yaoyu smiled gently, "Give you a quarter of an hour and write a letter to your father." ”

"Okay."

Xie Yunfei happily ran back to the room, Qian Ersheng and Xi Caizi glanced at each other, Qian Ersheng took a step forward and spoke: "Lord Jungong, I also ask to go together." ”

"Huh? Why? During your newlywed marriage with Sai Nako, why didn't you live a good life, why did you go to war? Can you bear to keep Nanako here? ”

Nishinako replied first: "My lord, everything that I and Ersheng have been given by the county prince and the imperial court, and it is the most appropriate thing to contribute to the county prince and the imperial court." ”

"That's right, if it weren't for the county prince, I might be a thief for the rest of my life, I couldn't come home, I couldn't marry a wife, I followed the county magistrate to report my kindness, but I haven't done anything, but I have eaten and drunk for so long, I am willing to do my best for the county lord's big affairs, please ask the county lord to agree."

"Okay."

It's been so long, and it's the first time Li Yaowei has separated from them, no matter who they are, they are very sad and reluctant.

The night before parting, the saddest and most difficult to sleep, the family told the mood of parting. Before falling asleep, Li Yaowei left them some instructions and a poem.

"Parting"

Top Gun is Fengtai,

The flag was opened to the south.

Balsam endures tears and leaves shallow,

Don't be sad about the snow.

The next morning, in the reluctant eyes of many women, as well as the fifth family, and the Du family, Li Yaoyu and the fifth Yao and his party rode out of Beijing, and Li Yaoyu, who learned to ride a horse, felt very excited, and the fifth Yao was like a mother who taught her child to walk, and followed closely on the side, for fear that he would fall down.

After a day's rush and in the evening, he successfully rendezvoused with the bomb unit that was in advance, and Li Yaowei gave this unit an atmospheric name: the Third Artillery Corps, referred to as the Third Artillery, to pay tribute to the Second Artillery Corps, a unit that established China's status as a great power in modern times.

As for why it was not called the First Artillery?

"Scare the Outlanders into thinking that we have more than three of these troops."

After Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and agreed with the name.

Li Yaowei also saw the army sent to him by Li Yuan, Cheng Zhijie from the Qin Palace, about thirty years old, not a long beard, and not burly, no matter how you look at it, he is a civil servant, and he is actually the head of the Zuo First Horse Army? However, from Li Shimin's account, he must be a famous general, why haven't you heard of this name?

Li Yaowei searched for this name according to what he had learned and remembered the history he remembered. Qin Wangfu? Journey? Well? - "Mr. Cheng? Do you have another name? ”

Cheng Zhijie looked at him suspiciously, "Do you recognize me?" My original name was Biting Gold. ”

Cheng bites gold? Li Yaoyu gasped, it's terrible, Li Yuan actually sent such a general to join the army, then I'm still afraid of a ghost, even if I don't do anything, Cheng Yanjin can overturn the enemy.

Li Yaojian rejoiced patiently, "I've heard of it." By the way, how far are we from Minzhou now? ”

"It's a thousand miles, and our baggage is too big, and it will take more than ten days to arrive." Cheng Zhijie looked around and estimated the distance and time.

"Poof!" Li Yaoji, who was drinking, squirted out directly, "More than ten days? By the time we arrived, the enemy had already returned home, right? ”

For more than ten days, the daylily has been cold, right?

"Li Jungong rest assured, the information from the front is that after Tuyuhun and the party captured Minzhou, Yile, Youchuan and other counties, they plundered it, and in the process of retreating, they were surrounded by some of the garrisons supported by nearby Taozhou, Diezhou, Danzhou, and Ganzhou."

Cheng Zhijie took advantage of the time to camp and garrison the army to explain the battle situation to Li Yaojie.

"Where's the enclosure?"

"Minshan in the south of Yile County. However, they have always wanted to break through the siege and capture Yile County again. ”

Minshan? I like the snow of Minshan Mountain more, isn't that it? Li Yaoji's thoughts wandered for a while, and then he came back to his senses, "How many of them are there?" ”

"Estimate 100,000 people."

"Well, I hope they won't occupy the city, as soon as these bombs go, Yile County will be full of devastation, and it will be easy to hurt the people."

Li Yaoji's clear eyes were very sharp, "However, I don't think they will really attack the city, and if they enter the city, they will be surrounded and suppressed by our Tang army." They hid in the mountains, and it was relatively easy to maneuver, and what they wanted most should be to break through from the west and escape back to Tuyuhun and the party. ”

"Not bad." Cheng Zhijie nodded, Li Yaoji's analysis was just as he thought, and his cognition and attitude towards Li Yaojie in his heart also improved a lot. At the beginning, after receiving the emperor's order, Cheng Zhijie was still very unhappy, he was the head of the horse army, and he actually had to assist a scholar.

Although the guerrilla tactics proposed by Li Yaowei are indeed good, tactics and strategy are two different things, and what the leading general needs is the vision and command ability to coordinate the overall situation. However, the king of Qin strongly asked him to have a good relationship with Li Yaojie, and worked hard to win Li Yaojie to stand on their side, and Cheng Zhijie willingly assisted him.

But now it seems that Li Yaowei still has some ability.

Carrying a large amount of explosives, the Third Artillery Corps marched cautiously and did not dare to be careless, if they accidentally blew up, they would all have to go to the sky.

Twelve days later, on March 20, Li Yaowei and Cheng Yanjin successfully led their troops to Yile County.
