In the palace of King Qi, Li Jingsui was wrapped in thick clothes, looking very cold, but in fact, spring had begun, the ice and snow had melted, and the weather had become warmer, for example, Yang Lian and Lin Renzhao were only wearing single clothes, although they were slightly cold, but as a martial artist, it was quite over.

As soon as Yang Lian saw Li Jingsui's appearance, he knew that he was not in good health, so he could only wear more clothes to keep out the cold.

"This time, it was the king who made a statement to the royal brother to raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. The forbidden army is responsible for protecting Jinling, and they always have to go out to fight in order to train into strong soldiers. Li Jingsui said with a smile, solving Yang Lian's doubts.

Only then did Yang Lian understand why His Majesty would let the Shenwu Army, the head of the forbidden army, go on the expedition, and let the deputy envoy of the Privy Council lead the troops. Although Yang Lian was worried about Li Zhenggu's lack of ability, he didn't say it after all. Before the incident happened, everything was speculation, and Yang Lian already had a certain understanding of Li Jingsui.

Li Jingsui's meaning is very simple, that is, he hopes that Yang Lian will make some contributions by taking advantage of this soldier's battle. Yang Lian also knew that it was King Qi's kindness, so he nodded his head and thanked him. Since the King of Qi had told Li Zhenggu to take care of Yang Lian secretly, if Yang Lian didn't seize the opportunity, it would be even more difficult in the future.

The two talked for a while, and Yang Lian saw that it was getting late, so he hurriedly got up to say goodbye. When I met the county lord of Huairou on the way, I saw that her little face was red and out of breath. Seeing Yang Lian, he stopped, pretended to be calm, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Yang Lian said with a smile: "I will go out in a few days, attack Suzhou with the army, and I have come to bid farewell to the King of Qi." ”

"Hit Suzhou?" The county lord of Huairou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but flatten his mouth, and said, "Go, go, it's better not to come back." With that, he stamped his feet and walked away. The maid was waving her hand at Yang Lian and said, "The county lord is unhappy." ”

"Green clothes, you are talking too much, and you will not be allowed to eat tomorrow." Although the county lord of Huairou is gone, his hearing is excellent.

Green Clothes turned white with fright, and hurriedly chased after him: "County Lord." ”

After all, it's a little girl, Yang Lian thought, and walked out of the Qi Palace.

On the third day, Yang Lian had already been prepared, the weapons and armor had been checked, and they were polished brightly, and even the shadows were shining. With the help of Wang Hu, he put on the fine scale armor, carried a bow and arrow, a quiver on his back, and a long knife at his waist. He was eight feet tall, and when he wore armor, he was also heroic. It's just that this armor has more than seventy pounds, if it weren't for the long-term exercise, Yang Lian would have grown muscle masses on his body, and he couldn't wear it at all.

Yang Lian was in front, taking steps, the armor on his body made a clanging sound, and the armor emitted a cold light, which was cold and frightening. Coupled with the long knife on his waist, it was really murderous, which made people very afraid, Wang Hu was on the side, and there was a fear in his heart.

"Let's go, if you're late, you'll be court-martialed." Yang Lian said, pressing his hand on the saber and striding forward.

Wang Hu held a spear and followed behind him.

Out of the gate, Zhao Peng was waiting at the door with a war horse, and when he saw Yang Lian, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and he was in awe and awe of Yang Lian. For the first time in more than half a year, I saw Yang Lian wearing armor, and I didn't expect that the sword eyebrows were raised, and there was a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, is this still the owner who looks quite kind?

Yang Lian patted the war horse, this war horse was purchased with a lot of money, it has been raised for more than three months, and it is usually kept at home, it is really exhaustive, although it is early spring at this time, the war horse is full of fat, which shows that Yang Lian has invested a lot.

After half a year of training, Yang Lian has been able to ride a horse proficiently, Yang Lian was about to turn over and get on the horse, and the green dress ran over panting, and said, "Yang Gongzi, Yang Gongzi walk slowly." ”

"Greencoat, what are you doing?" Yang Lian turned his head and asked.

"That." Lu Sheng hesitated a little, approached Yang Lian, suddenly stood on tiptoe, grabbed Yang Lian's hand, stuffed something into his hand, turned around and ran.

"What is this?" Before Yang Lian could react, the green dress had disappeared.

Spread out your hand, it is a small red peace charm, small and beautiful.

"Master, I'm afraid this was sent by the county lord." Xiao Erhei said on the side.

Yang Lian shook his head slightly, thought about it, and still hung the peace charm around his neck. Seeing that the hour was not early, Yang Lian turned over and got on the horse. Along the way, many GIs were wearing armor, either on foot or on horseback, and were rushing towards the school grounds.

The vendors and pedestrians on the road were very afraid to pull aside when they saw such a group of soldiers. His Majesty had already issued a holy decree two days ago, saying that the Wu Yue people were arrogant, and this time they sent troops to Suzhou, the Tang Dynasty was bound to win, and the Wu Yue people who wanted to fight begged for mercy.

Halfway through, Yang Lian met Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie, made an appointment, and rushed to the school, which was already crowded with people, and waited for a while, the soldiers in Jinling City gradually arrived, and the whole school was suddenly full of people, and it was very lively.

From the time of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the military system gradually evolved from the government military system to the form of mercenaries, and from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties period, the generals were rebellious, and a rebellion would be made if it did not go well, Zhu Wen, Xu Wen and even Li Yu, and later Zhao Kuangyin were mostly in this mode, but some were relatively mild.

It can be said that most of the soldiers on the school field are professional soldiers, not like the previous government soldiers, who farm at home in peacetime and serve as soldiers in wartime, and buy armor, war horses and other things at their own expense. However, the mercenaries are uniformly distributed by the government, and some people's equipment does not look very good.

Especially some of the heads, seeing that Yang Lian was just a general Yu Hou, actually riding a high-headed horse, his eyes suddenly turned red. It's just that at this time, there are crowds, and it's not easy to rob. had to secretly note Yang Lian's appearance.

In addition to the Shenwu Army, the Tianxiong Army also gathered here, with about 10,000 people, and they were suddenly concentrated on the school field, which was very chaotic. It was not until the commander of the two armies came, ordered the commanders to count the number of people, and the teams lined up in a queue, and there was an inspection of the head and the general Yuhou, that the team calmed down and was almost silent.

Yang Lian rode a war horse, which seemed a little abrupt, and there were not many people who rode Yuhou, after all, raising horses costs a lot, where are ordinary people willing to do it? Although the Shenwu Army has a horse army, it does not belong to the command of Zhou Hongzuo. Gao Shensi turned a blind eye and didn't care about Yang Lian. However, Zhou Hongzuo was a little dissatisfied, thinking that this war horse was better than mine, which was really hateful.

After the points are counted, the number of people is reported level by level, and if there is a fear of war that cannot come, it will not be used in this life. The commander of the Tianxiong Army was named Zhu Kuangye, and when Liezu had not yet ascended the throne, he was a military academy. After Li Yu became the emperor on behalf of Wu, he was first appointed as the assassin of Shezhou, and later served as the commander of the Shenwei army, after Li Jing ascended the throne, he protected the university for three years, and changed to the Tianxiong army commander, the same as Gao Shensi, he was also the former minister of the first emperor and the founding father.

Gao Xiansi and Zhu Kuangye reported the number, and the privy deputy envoy Li Zhenggu began to speak, his voice was not loud, only a few people could hear clearly, but Yang Lian listened to it, which was nothing more than encouraging the soldiers to fight this battle and win glory for the country.

After a brief remark, the drums rumbled, and Li Zhenggu also let people set off firecrackers, kill pigs and sheep, and sacrifice to God, which really made it extremely lively. Wait until the three drums are over, the sacrifice is over, the army then travels, marches south along the royal street, goes out of the south gate, crosses the long trunk bridge, and leaves Jinling.

Yujie is the main road of Jinling, on both sides, crowded with people, mostly relatives of soldiers: parents, wives, children, they carry baskets in their hands, which are full of eggs, Hu cakes, steamed buns and other things, the pot pulp shows the image of a faction supporting the army, for fear that the relatives will not be able to eat at home. Many women, reluctant to have their husbands, fathers, or sons at home, hug their heads and cry.

Yang Lian rode on the war horse, looking left and right, looking at these people crying and making trouble, he was actually a little envious, thinking that in this world, I'm afraid no one cares about him. I couldn't help but think of the peace charm hanging around my neck, and thought to myself that this county lord was still a little cute. Yang Lian looked around, but didn't see the county lord of Huairou, so he didn't care about her anymore.

In the distance, the lord of Huairou County was dressed in a skirt, followed by a maid in a green dress, the two stood on a restaurant, looking into the distance, Yang Lian was in a group of walking generals, looking very abrupt and very easy to recognize.

"County Lord, that's General Yang." Green Dress was a little girl after all, clapping and cheering.

"What general, it's just a small general Yu Hou, in this Jinling City, just throw a stone, you can hit a third-grade official, he is a general Yu Hou, what's so strange?" The county lord of Huairou was very disdainful.

"But, why did the county lord give him a peace charm?" Green Dress was a little puzzled.

"If you talk too much, you will be punished for two days and not allowed to do anything!" The county lord of Huairou said, raising his eyebrows, revealing his shiny tiger teeth.

"County Lord, the green dress is wrong." Green clothes hurriedly said, hanging her head, as if admitting her mistake.

"It's late!" Lord Huairou said.

Next door to the lord of Huairou County, there are also people watching Yang Lian, this time the Southern Tang Dynasty marched into the army, and it was the forbidden army that was dispatched, it was obvious that the Son of Heaven attached great importance to this matter, Yang Lian was in it, what kind of performance would he have, which attracted his attention.

"Pass my orders, keep an eye on this battle, and tell me immediately whatever news there is." The man commanded, and his voice was soft, and it was actually a woman.

"Yes." Another voice replied.

"In addition, if this person's life is in danger during the process of going south, he must be saved, no matter what the price." The man said again.

"Yes, I will go down as I am told." Another voice replied.

Next, the two didn't speak again, until Yang Lian walked out of the south gate and gradually disappeared from view, and the two walked slowly down the restaurant. At this time, Yang Lian didn't know that when he was out of the city, these interesting stories had happened, and one of his hearts had flown to Suzhou.

I don't know, how will Li Zhenggu fight this battle? The combined strength of the Shenwu Army and the Tianxiong Army was 10,000 people, and after entering Changzhou, the Changzhou garrison was about 5,000 people. After all, Qian Wenfeng and his father Qian Yuanhui have been guarding Suzhou for more than 30 years and are very popular with the people. Suzhou City is also the border, the city is very strong, there are more than 8,000 people in the Wu army, if Qian Zuo, the lord of Wu Yue, gets the news, if he sends troops to help, the strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty is not advantageous at all. Thinking of this, Yang Lian's heart moved, he vaguely guessed something, but he was not sure.

It seems that only by arriving in Suzhou and seeing what Li Zhenggu wants to do can he make the next judgment.
