Morale has reached the peak, Li Qing waved the flag with his right hand, and said quietly and solemnly: "The military situation is urgent, with Shi Hao, the main general of the western battalion, as the vanguard, he will lead the men and horses of the headquarters to take the lead in reinforcements, and the rest of the people will be led by the king himself as the rear army!" ”

Each soldier unloaded all his baggage, went into battle lightly, each of them only brought three days' rations, after repelling the Tibetans, the king and his brothers will drink heavily in Songzhou City for three days!

After Li Qing finished speaking, the three thousand soldiers pointed straight to the sky with spears in their hands, venting the excitement in their hearts, and the sound of "shouting and shouting" lasted for a long time!

With Shi Hao and Mu Fan personally in charge, Li Qing's orders were issued very smoothly, and the high-level generals of the East Battalion of the City Defense Army standing on Li Qing's right hand may have received hints from the Taishou of Shu County, and their words were also very respectful to Li Qing, and there was no slightest meaning of disobedience.

Two days later, the early sun shone on the earth, and there was an endless black "torrent" outside an ordinary county town in Maozhou, these people were naturally the headquarters led by Li Qing, who rushed to Songzhou from Chengdu in the starry night to reinforce, and it had been two full days since leaving Chengdu, but compared with the high spirits of the first time out of Chengdu, this army was obviously a little more tired at this moment.

Even if Li Qing didn't want to, he had to admit that after all, it was a ragtag team that had been put together temporarily, and naturally it was far from being able to compare with those iron-blooded border troops who had really experienced the battle of life and death, and for two consecutive days, maybe Li Qing's unremitting encouragement and subtle ideological work had played a role, although everyone was tired, but there was no trace of complaint!

Dressed in white armor, he looked heroic and extraordinary, holding the map in his hand and looking at the young man in Xuanyi who was slightly tired after a few days of hurrying, and at the same time, he sighed in his heart and his respect for the man next to him became stronger, because Mu Fan always remembered the sentence "The king and the soldiers suffer together, and the soldiers and the king share difficulties", if you want to win the sincere support of others, you must first lead by example, and in this regard, His Royal Highness King Shou next to him has undoubtedly done a good job!

With the perennial growth environment and noble identity of the men around him, even if he did not participate in this expedition, no one would be dissatisfied, but the young man next to him chose to live with the soldiers at the same time, share the joys and sorrows, eat the same food, and accept the same harsh long-distance mission during the two consecutive days of dark marching!

It is precisely because of this that in just two days, His Royal Highness the young King Shou has gradually been recognized by everyone in this team from senior generals to ordinary soldiers with practical actions, and because of King Shou's inadvertent move, the marching speed of the whole army has increased significantly, which has completely stimulated the explosiveness of this team.

After all, seeing that His Royal Highness Shouwang with a noble status is so hard, those ordinary soldiers are naturally unwilling to be compared to His Royal Highness Shouwang, who is pampered and pampered, after all, about all the soldiers who participated in this expedition are young and middle-aged soldiers, and the blood in their hearts has not completely fallen silent, and now they are so stimulated by Li Qing, they naturally all explode.

Holding the miniature map, Mu Fan pointed to the word "Shiquan" on the ground drawing and said to Li Qing: "Your Highness, the city in front of you can be regarded as the only big town within a radius of dozens of miles, and it can also be regarded as the last pass from Maozhou to Songzhou.

A hundred miles further, you can reach the city of Songzhou, and the last general will observe the situation of this pass as if Songzhou has been lost, after all, once Songzhou is lost, this pass will undoubtedly become the first front line to resist the Tubo army.

And observing the people coming and going at the city gate of Longquan Town at this moment, it is still very lively, and there is no meaning of being shrouded in the shadow of war, Mu Fan, who has been around the main general of the Sword Gate all the year round, naturally knows clearly that things are not as bad as imagined.

Although before the expedition, Li Qing threatened to fight a decisive battle with Tubo under the city of Songzhou, whether it was Mu Fan, Liu Ran and others, they knew that if it was really broken before Li Qing arrived in Songzhou and Songzhou, Li Qing would naturally not be stupid anymore and would fight a decisive battle with Tubo under the city of Songzhou!

Not to mention that Li Qing only had less than 3,000 weak men in his hands at the moment, if it weren't for the reinforcements of the border army, Li Qing would not have the capital to fight a decisive battle with the Tubo army that only dispatched more than 20,000 men and horses to stir up Jiannan.

The reason why he said the heroic words of a duel is just a means to motivate the army, if not, with the weakness of the Chengdu city defense army, it is easy to rise up before the battle cowardice, when the time comes, it is really hopeless!

Li Qing, who had made up his mind, instructed Mu Fan beside him: "Command the team, re-raise the Jiannan Dao Jiedu Envoy Banner, show your identity, and hurry for days, everyone must be tired, next, rest and replenish for a day in this Shiquan Town, and prepare for tomorrow's battle!" ”

Originally, in order to facilitate the march and avoid the fall of Songzhou because of the untimely support of the rescue army, it would affect the deployment of the entire southwest border of the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, Li Qing himself could not escape the condemnation of conscience.

The order was quickly conveyed to the whole army, and after hearing Li Qing's order, all the sergeants cheered collectively, although everyone did not complain about Shou Wang for two days of continuous running, but they who were used to living a comfortable life all year round suddenly accepted such a harsh rush mission, they were naturally very uncomfortable.

The soldiers, who had not had much expectation, heard that His Royal Highness King Shou had allowed them to enter the city to rest and recuperate, just like nectar after a long drought, and the joy and gratitude in their hearts could be imagined.

After a short cheer, the 2,000 soldiers shouted loudly, "Shouwang Chitose, Shouwang Chitose!" Words like that, as a way to vent their gratitude.

This movement naturally alarmed the dozens of city gate guards who were on official duty at the city gate of Shiquan Town, who were originally very nervous, and they suddenly relaxed when they saw Li Qing and others standing in the wind, and a person about the leader walked in front of Li Qing under the leadership of Mu Fan, bowed down and said nervously: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness has worked hard all the way, it seems that it is the first time to see such a big official, and for a while, the leader of the city defense army rubbed his eyes a little uncomfortably, to make sure that what he saw was an illusion!" ”

Facing the middle-aged man in front of him, who was obviously just a squad leader, Li Qing did not have the slightest arrogance, but said with dignity: "This king went to lead the army to Songzhou to support this time, passing through here!" ”

"Arrange it quickly, these soldiers of this king need to go into the city to rest!"

Seeing King Shou's orders, the middle-aged man naturally didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and said directly: "This is natural, my general has already prepared everything in the city, just waiting to wash the dust for His Highness and the warriors!" ”

His group came silently, and the main general of Shiquan Town naturally couldn't know the news that his money was coming, and he was prepared, and he didn't expose the lies of the middle-aged man in front of him, Li Qing glanced at the middle-aged man meaningfully, and then smiled and patted his horse and followed the team to think about walking in the city!
