Chapter 35: Departure
Although Liu Ji said that he had the protection of Hua Xiong and other seven generals, Liu Hao and Liu Tie were still very worried about Liu Ji's safety when he went to Qianzhou to defend the border, after all, the Hu cavalry on the grassland was often thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands.

Even if Hua Xiong and the other 7 people are all fierce generals with the rank of general among the ten thousand armies, there are many ants that can still bite the elephant to death!
Liu Hao and Liu Tie still want to replace Liu Ji to go to Qianzhou to defend the border, but Liu Ji can't let his father and Uncle Tie go to Qianzhou, they go to Qianzhou is really dead, and they have the Chinese military general summoning system, and going to Qianzhou to defend the border may really be an opportunity for themselves to develop.
After all, if you want to summon more Chinese generals, you can only collect more soul points, and after arriving at the border, there will definitely be many, many opportunities to encounter dead people.
In the end, Liu Ji and his father Liu Hao agreed that Liu Ji would take Hua Xiong and other seven generals and twin sisters to Qianzhou, Liu Hao continued to stay in Qi County to recuperate, Liu Tie and Liu Niuniu stayed in Qi County to accompany Liu Hao, if Liu Ji can really gain a firm foothold in the crisis-ridden Qianzhou, Liu Ji will send someone back to pick up his father and sister to Qianzhou for reunion.
Moreover, the imperial court has decreed this time that the officers and soldiers sent from the prefectures and counties to the northern border can return to their hometowns after three years, and at that time, the prefectures and counties will elect new officers and soldiers to replace them, of course, if they are unwilling to leave the border army, they can also do so.
If Liu Ji can't get along in Qianzhou, then three years later, Liu Ji will rush back to Qi County and the family will be reunited.
Originally, Liu Tie also wanted to go to Qianzhou with Liu Ji, but Liu Ji said that the family also needed someone to take care of him, so Liu Tie had to dispel this idea.
After Liu Ji gave Cheng Yi the set of armor and helmet rewarded by the system, Cheng Yi's eyes suddenly turned red with emotion, you must know that the lord does not have such delicate and sturdy armor and helmets.
Cheng Yi practiced spears before, but Cheng Yi's spear was directly thrown away in Fusui City, Qinzhou, and later the war horse he rode when he fled also died of illness.
Liu Ji didn't have a war horse now, but he bought Cheng Yi a big iron gun in a blacksmith shop in Qi County.
Time quickly passed 2 days, and it was the day when the soldiers and horses of Qixian County set off to the border of Qianzhou, and today was the ninth day of November in the year 425 of the Great Jin Dynasty.
The year of the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty was the first year of the Great Jin Dynasty, and according to the will of Liu Hui, the founding emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty will continue forever, and now it has reached the 425th year of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Early in the morning, Liu Ji said goodbye to Liu Hao, Liu Tie, and his sister Liu Niuniu, who was held in Liu Tie's arms, and rushed to the Chen family compound with everyone.
Liu Niuniu didn't know what Qianzhou was, what dangers there would be, and no one would tell her this, Liu Niuniu thought that her brother Liu Ji went to Qianzhou to be a big official, this is what Liu Ji said to Liu Niuniu personally!
Among Liu Ji and his party, Hua Xiong, Le Yi, Liu Pi, Gong Du and You Tong each rode a war horse, Cheng Yi was still driving the carriage, and Liu Ji and the twin sisters were sitting in the carriage.
And the twin sisters Lin Xiya and Lin Xiwen's 2 maids, were left in Qi County by the two sisters to take care of Liu Niuniu, this is a long way to go to Qianzhou, and bringing an extra woman with no combat effectiveness is equivalent to a little more burden, as for the twin sisters Lin Xiya and Lin Xiwen, Liu Ji is impossible to stay in Qi County.
Chen Hao still drove the ox cart, which was full of grain, bacon, salt and other things to eat, adding up to nearly 2,000 catties, many of which Liu Ji sent Liu Pi and Gong to buy from the shops in the county seat of Qi County in the past two days.
After Liu Ji and his entourage arrived at the Chen family compound, Chen Min, Chen Qi and Chen Yan were already waiting outside the gate, and 90 young and strong men selected from the victims were also here, but these 90 victims were all guarded by the Chen family with sad faces, after all, no one wanted to go to Qianzhou to die, but if they didn't go to Qianzhou, it was no longer up to them to decide.
In addition, the Chen family also prepared 6 carriages for Liu Ji, most of which were loaded with grain, as well as some spears, broadswords, leather armor and shields, which were the weapons and armor that Chen Qi prepared for Liu Ji.
Le Yi saw the 90 victims selected by the Chen family, walked up to Liu Ji and whispered: "Lord, take these people to Qianzhou, if there is no strict military discipline, maybe they have not reached the boundary of Qianzhou at all, and the people will escape." ”
Liu Ji looked at the 90 victims selected by the Chen family, many of them were old and thin, and it could be seen from the faces of these victims that they must be very resistant to going to Qianzhou to defend the border.
Liu Ji believes that the people made up by other Haoqiang families in Qi County must also be reluctant to go to the border of Qianzhou, and he wants to bring 500 of the 800 people to the border of Qianzhou, which is definitely not very easy, and it will definitely give him a headache.
Liu Ji sighed and said to Le Yi: "It seems that after we leave Qi County, the first thing we will do is to first rectify the 800 people from the powerful families in Qi County, otherwise it may not be long before the 800 people are dispersed." ”
Originally, Liu Ji planned to train the 800 people from various powerful families in Qi County for a few days before setting off, but Chen Yan told Liu Ji that the county commander Wang Ji asked the border team not to rest in Qi County, and must immediately rush to Qianzhou.
In this way, Liu Ji had to prepare to reorganize the border team of 800 people after leaving Qi County.
Then the father and son of the Chen family accompanied Liu Ji to the county government of Qi County, and at this time, many people had gathered outside the county government of Qi County.
Liu Ji also met Wang Ji, the county commander of Qi County, Wang Ji gave Liu Ji a high-sounding reluctance, and then handed Liu Ji an official document, which said that Liu Ji, the captain of Qi County, Changping County, Yongzhou, was ordered by the imperial court to lead his troops to 500 soldiers and horses, and went to Chengyin County, Ju'an County, Qianzhou, to garrison the border, and there was still a time limit on it, saying that Liu Ji must arrive in Chengyin County before February 10, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, and there were just three months to hurry.
At this time, Liu Ji knew that the specific place he was going to was Chengyin County in Ji'an County, Qianzhou, but Liu Ji didn't know anything about the situation in Chengyin County, and no one in Qi County knew about it, so Liu Ji could only inquire on the road.
After all, from Qi County to Pingyin County, Gui'an County, Qianzhou, the road is far away, and there is a drought in Anhui for three consecutive years.
Even the county commander Wang Ji asked the Wang family to take out 4 wagons of grain and give it to the team in Qi County.
Counting the 1 ox cart grain brought by Liu Ji himself, the 6 wagons of grain from the Chen family, the 4 carts of grain from the Wang family, plus the grain made up by other Haoqiang families, Liu Ji's border team has a total of 25 carts of grain, except for the ox cart that Chen Hao drove, the remaining 24 carts are all carriages.
In addition, the powerful families also got some spears, broadswords, leather armor and shields, and put them on the grain carts.
The 24 carriages are all four-wheeled vehicles, all of which are drawn by two horses, each of which is loaded with at least about 2,000 catties of grain, so that Liu Ji has about 50,000 catties of grain in his hands, and more than 800 people can save some food, but they can also last for about 2 months.
If he could not rush to Pingyin County, Jue'an County, Qianzhou in two months, the food problem could only be solved by Liu Ji himself, and the county commander Wang Ji did not even give Liu Ji a tael of silver for military expenses.
With the efforts of Hua Xiong, Le Yi, Cheng Yi, Liu Pi, Gong Du and You Tong, the 800-person chaotic border team finally set off reluctantly, of which 24 were relatively old and had experience in driving cars, and were appointed as coachmen in charge of 24 four-wheeled carriages.
The remaining 776 people were divided into two parts, walking in front and behind the carriage convoy respectively, and the carriage in which Liu Ji and his twin sisters were riding, and the ox cart driven by Chen Hao were also in the convoy.
Chen Yan looked at the distant border team, sighed and asked his father Chen Min, "Father, can Liu Ji come back?" ”
Chen Min said expressionlessly: "You have to remember, this is a transaction, our Chen family does not owe the Liu family favors, you and your eldest brother, you don't need to feel guilty, the most important thing is to train our Chen family's soldiers and horses at present." ”
