Although Liu He had a time limit of one month to recruit soldiers, it also took a long time for the army to go to Qingzhou, especially the farthest Yizhou, which needed to set off immediately after receiving the order, fortunately, Yizhou had just ended the war with Tubo and Nanban, and the army was ready-made, and there was no need for temporary requisition, which saved a lot of time, otherwise it would be difficult to arrive on time. Even the neighboring Yuzhou and Yanzhou also need time to select elites and allocate materials, so no matter which place it is, time is very tight, so for military and political officials everywhere, anyone feels extremely urgent, they almost stop all the work at hand, and make every effort to prepare for the expedition to Liaodong.

And what is even more surprising is that there are still individual petty thefts and illegal situations in ordinary times, but now no matter where it is, it is absolutely impossible to leave the road behind, and the night is not closed, the so-called "gentleman on the beam" and "three hands" are like a collective retreat, for a whole month, and even until Liu He returned to Liaodong in this period of time, there was not a single case of theft within the scope of the five states, this kind of thing is simply no one can believe it, but the truth is in front of us, Even the magistrates everywhere were amazed.

In fact, to put it bluntly, things are also very simple, this is mainly because those thieves have also been inspired by the imperial court, wholeheartedly support the great move of the Eastern Expedition, although most of them can not be selected, but they consciously signed up to serve as a civil servant, building ships for the soldiers of the Eastern Crusade, escorting grain and grass materials, and even some went directly to the front line to build defensive facilities, siege equipment and other materials for the Eastern Expedition soldiers, even if a small number of them chose to stay in their hometowns, but they resolutely quit the bad habit of stealing, even if they could not serve the Eastern Crusade, but it must not become a burden to the country and the people, otherwise what is the difference between it and traitors and traitors? This is their bottom line, and it must not be violated!

Even after Liu He heard this, he was amazed, and sighed softly: "It seems that even the petty thieves of my big man have a patriotic heart, which is the greatest guarantee for us to win this battle, and the people's will is the decisive factor in determining victory or defeat. ”

I saw Guo Jia, who accompanied him, praised: "Your Majesty is so benevolent and righteous, this is the blessing of those small people, now that my Han is united, the army and the people are united, and there is absolutely nothing that can stop us from defeating." ”

Liu He sighed: "This is not the blessing of those people, it is really my blessing, in the face of national righteousness, no one retreats, has the courage to fight, and all the people are sincerely united, just as Feng Xiaofang said, now I am united with one heart, the army and the people are united, and absolutely no one can stop us from moving forward!" ”

At this time, Xue Rengui had already arrived, in fact, on the day he got the news, Xue Rengui set off immediately, and when he came, he only brought five hundred personal soldiers around him, including the general Zhou Qing and others, and hurried to Chang'an by fast horse.

After Xue Rengui arrived in Chang'an, he simply handed over the military affairs, and after Liu He took the stage to pay respects to the generals, and after obtaining Liu He's consent, he immediately issued an order, and the army immediately marched to Donglai.

The army advanced rapidly, and arrived in Donglai exactly three days before the month-long period.

At this time, the soldiers of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yongzhou all came together, and the generals under their command were Xue Rengui, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Li Yan, Li Tong, Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu, Zhou Dewei, Wang Yanzhang, Wang Yanlong, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Hu Che'er, Chen Dao, Pan Feng, Pei Yuanshao and others, and the strategists were Guo Jia, Xun You, Liu Ye, Lu Su and others.

In addition, there are actually several female generals around Liu He, that is, Liu He's concubines Sun Shangxiang, Lu Lingqi and Ma Yunlu, as well as Diao Chan and Wang Yi.

Of course, these people are pseudonyms, Sun Shangxiang is called Sun Wen, Lu Lingqi is called Lu Wen, Ma Yunlu is called Ma Yue, Diao Chan and Wang Yi are all dressed as small soldiers, and they are even more low-key.

Originally, Huang Yueying and the others also wanted to come along, but Huang Yueying was the queen of the dynasty after all, and she wanted to be the harem of the town, and she also had to assist the prince in supervising the country, so she didn't follow, and Xiao Qiao, Zhen Mi and Cai Yan were pregnant and couldn't travel long distances, so they didn't follow.

These female generals went to the battlefield not to go sightseeing with Liu He, but to really go to the battlefield, as for Wang Yi, it was to assist Liu He in handling military and political affairs, to help Liu He share the hardships, and Diao Chan's purpose was simpler, that is, to help Liu He handle internal affairs.

This is mainly because Liu He was too tired to conquer the west last time, and the concubines were distressed, so they strongly requested to go on the expedition with Liu He.

Of course, the current manpower is not yet ready, because the army of the state has not yet arrived.

The next day, all the people and horses of Yizhou also arrived, and Liu He's generals had Guan Yu, Yan Yan, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang and others, in addition, Guan Xing, the son of Guan Yu, and Zhang Bao, the son of Zhang Fei, came with the army, and even Guan Yu's daughter Guan Feng pestered her father to go into battle to kill the enemy.

"Although Guan Xing and Zhang Bao are brave generals in the romance, after all, so many people under my command have been canonized, and their combat power may not be comparable to them, so they will inevitably fall behind."

Seeing Guan Xing and Zhang Bao looking excited and wanting to fight, Liu He secretly sighed.

However, he didn't expect that when he got his attributes, Liu He was shocked.

"Guan Xing, a general-type talent, 97 in force, 64 in intelligence, 32 in internal affairs, 68 in charisma, skill for gunman, skill effect ......"

"Zhang Bao, a general-type talent, 98 in force, 55 in intelligence, 21 in internal affairs, 65 in charm, skill for sword general, skill effect ......"

"Guan Feng, a general-type talent, 94 in force, 69 in intelligence, 33 in internal affairs, 82 in charm, skill for sword general, skill effect ......"

"Their force value is estimated to be more than 80 at most, right? How is it possible to reach the standard of a first-class military general or even close to a super-first-class military general? Could it be that their abilities have also been automatically improved with the Shogun system? After Liu He learned the attributes of the three people, he asked the system in surprise.

Then he got a definite reply from the system: "That's right, although there is no need to canonize now, but all the historical generals and legendary generals that appear, their attributes will automatically achieve the effect of canonization, which includes not only those characters in later generations, but also characters from the Three Kingdoms era." ”

"This is really good, in this way, some generals in the later period of the Three Kingdoms will finally be able to get ahead, and I will naturally be able to have an additional batch of outstanding talents under my command." Liu He was proud when he heard this, and said excitedly.

Then Liu He officially ordered that early the next morning, the army set out for Liaodong!
