This is an expedition, and the target is in Youzhou. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A total of 2,590 soldiers and more than 4,000 horses participated in the expedition. Among them, Zhang Liao commanded 1,000 Bingzhou flying cavalry, Wei Yan commanded 1,000 Nanyang infantry soldiers, Wen Ping commanded 500 face armor troops, and He Qian commanded the special operations team as He Xian's personal guard of 88 people, plus He Xian, and Xiaoqiang, a personal dogleg. These more than 4,000 war horses were all collected from the grassland by Zhang Liao when he returned to his hometown in Bingzhou. As a local dignitary in Yanmen County, the Zhang Liao family has various connections that can be connected to small tribes on the grassland. And He Xian is not short of money, except for ironware, oil, salt, tea cloth and other daily necessities, as long as the herdsmen are willing to exchange horses, He Xian can afford it. For the Zhang family, as a middleman, they are profitable, and they don't have to take too many risks, so they naturally spare no effort to facilitate the sale. So, in three years, Hejiabao has accumulated no less than 5,000 war horses, and the mobility He Xian wants has been guaranteed!

In this expedition, all the foot soldiers were also required to ride horses, although they could not fight like cavalry, but they greatly strengthened the marching speed of the Nanyang army. In addition, there are more than 1,000 war horses, which are used to carry weapons, armor, crossbow arrows and other ordnance materials, as well as Nanyang's special military food powder. The so-called military food powder is actually a very popular whole grain powder in later generations, which is used for healthy diet. But in this era, He Xian used beans and grains to mix to a certain ratio, and after feeding them to pigs, he found that the effect was good. It was then used for distribution to combat units. Soldier food powder is small in size, simple to carry, dry to eat, and can be eaten alive after boiling water. Moreover, the nutrition is balanced and comprehensive, and there will be no sample problem if you eat it for dozens of days in a row. If you can have a little fresh vegetables, you won't be nutrient deficient even if you eat it for a year. Compared with the traditional belt of large bags of grain and grass, it is much better to wait for 3,000 soldiers to go out to fight, followed by 3,000 people transporting grain! The only drawback is that after long-term consumption, the taste is somewhat monotonous. More importantly, military food powder can also be mixed into ordinary forage instead of beans as a nutritional supplement for war horses. It's a win-win-win-win But despite the support of soldier food powder, on the way to Youzhou, He Xian was still ready to continue to replenish ordinary grain and grass as consumption on the road in the large counties along the way, reduce the consumption of soldier food powder as much as possible, and use it on the battlefield in Youzhou.

Wen Xiang temporarily took the position of lieutenant of Nanyang County, and was fully responsible for the safety of Nanyang County and the labor camp, and Yifeng, Wei He, and Wang Xiaoxiao assisted Wen Xiang as deputies. In terms of government affairs, the divine doctor Zhang Ji was recommended by the general He Jin and became the new Nanyang county guard. Zhang Ji has many years of experience in county orders, and it is not difficult to take charge of Nanyang. But since being guided by He Xian, Zhang Ji has become less and less interested in government affairs, and he is still willing to focus more on studying medicine. Most of those cumbersome government affairs were thrown to Li Yan, the county leader, and Li Fangzheng handled them.

Before leaving, He Xian told Li Yan to urge the cotton spinning factory to hurry up the production of at least 3,000 sets of thickened cotton clothes, cotton boots, cotton gloves, and cotton hats, and transport them to Jixian County, Youzhou Metallurgical Institute before the end of October! It is related to the victory or defeat of the war in Youzhou, so don't take it lightly!

Li Zhengran, solemnly accept the order!

As for Hejiabao, Ouyang's smelting business has developed to a new stage, a tall and large chimney rises from the ground, and the billowing smoke begins to pour non-stop. The air in Hejiabao is no longer filled with the smell of grass, flowers and cow dung. He Xian persuaded Mrs. He to stay away from Hejiabao and move to Wancheng to live, but Mrs. He refused. In Mrs. He's view, the big chimney is a symbol of He's prosperity, and the peculiar smell in the air is made of the power of gold and earth, which should have the effect of prolonging life.

"It's good not to reduce your life, but also to prolong your life?" Old lady He's explanation made He Xian sweat profusely. But he couldn't convince the old man He who was now on the rise.

"Shouldn't it matter if you suck it for a year or two?" Thinking of the immortal capital of the future generations, who were immersed in the fairyland-like imperial capital where he couldn't see his fingers, He Xian was suddenly relieved, and he sucked a little.

Zhang Ji's Zhongjing Medical Center has been relocated to Wancheng, and he also handles official duties, researches medical skills, and treats diseases and saves people.

Sima Hui's Jingshui Academy refused to relocate, on the grounds that he liked the environment of mountains and rivers on this side of Hejiabao. He Xian was not reluctant.

When the affairs of Nanyang were properly arranged, He Xian led the Nanyang army to quietly go out, without a departure ceremony or flowers. After three years of polishing, this Nanyang army has long been brainwashed and ready to go. The "March of the Han Dynasty" became the military song of the Nanyang Army, and every morning and evening, the military camp of the Nanyang Army would think of the melody of this passionate song: "Get up!" People who do not want to be slaves of foreign races, cast our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall, the Han nation has reached the most dangerous time, we brave the enemy's beacon fire, advance, brave the enemy's beacon fire, forward, forward, forward! ”

"March of the Great Han" and "Those who offend my Great Han, although they are far away, will be punished!" "The military soul of the Nanyang Army has been injected into it, they are proud of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty and are willing to defend their identity with their lives! This is an army with faith, and faith is an essential element of any strong army!

The Nanyang army went all the way north, passing through Yingchuan County, Jiyin County, Dongping Kingdom, Qinghe Kingdom, and all the way to Hejian Kingdom. According to the original plan, the Nanyang Army should continue to move north, pass through Zhuo County, and arrive at Ji County. But after looking at the marching map, He Xian decided to divide the troops! With Wen Ping as the main general, Zhang Liao and Wei Yanfu led the main force of the Nanyang Army to go north first according to the established route, and He Xian took Xiaoqiang and He Gan's personal guards of 88 people, turned to the west, and quickly whipped up to Changshan Country! If the road goes well, before the main force arrives in Jixian County, He Xian and the special operations team should be able to catch up with the large force. After all, the speed of a march of less than 100 men is much faster than that of 3,000 men!

He Xian's reason was to go to Changshan Country to find an old man. As a personal dog leg who grew up with He Xian since he was a child, Xiao Qiang racked his brains and didn't remember which of the old people He knew was from Changshan. Wen Ping, Zhang Liao, and Wei Yan did not agree with He Xian's separation from the army and acting alone at first. But in view of He Xian's resolute attitude, firm will, and iron-clad appearance, the generals did not persuade him again. Although the Changshan generation has the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves, on the whole, under the control of the Han official army, He Xian's safety should not be a problem. As for the itinerary, how He Xian expected it, there should be no big mistakes.

After saying goodbye to the generals, He Xian led Xiaoqiang and the 88 cavalry of the special operations team, and couldn't wait to gallop to Zhongshan Country! There are old people in Changshan, and the old people are really determined! That's the person whose soul has been haunting for 2,000 years, how could he miss it?!
