Chapter 1463: Expedition
After saying goodbye to his two wives, Li Chengqian left the Taiji Palace with heavy steps, and looked back from the palace out of the palace, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
"Your Highness, where are we going?" Yang Yuxin followed from behind, opened the door of the galloping carriage and asked.
"Go back, we'll have to get ready." Li Chengqian retracted his gaze and lowered his head into the carriage.
……
Time is like flowing water, slowly passing little by little before people know it, and in the blink of an eye, it is three days later, and it is time for Li Chengqian to prepare to set off.
Outside the east gate of Chang'an City, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yanjin and others went out of the city for ten miles to see him off.
"Your Highness, have a good trip!" Lao Du glanced at his excited-looking son who was following Li Chengqian, and said to Xiao Li.
"Uncle Du, rest assured, Du He will not let him be wronged if he follows me." Li Chengqian knew what Lao Du meant, and gave an explanation while returning the salute.
"Boy, don't be impulsive when you go to the battlefield, be careful, don't let my daughter be widowed." Cheng Laowu squeezed up, took out a small cloth bag from his waist and handed it to Li Chengqian.
Revolver, Li Chengqian, who took the cloth bag, already knew what was inside by virtue of his hand, and the unhappiness that had just risen in his heart suddenly disappeared: "Don't worry, my son-in-law will take care of it!" ”
"Just know to be careful, don't be pushy." Lao Cheng solemnly advised.
Li Chengqian took a deep breath, returned the salute solemnly, and then immediately raised his head and arched his hand around: "Uncles, go back, Chengqian has gone!" After saying that, he flicked the horse's head, and without looking back, he faced the morning sun and galloped along the official road.
His 10,000 subordinates were on the other side of the Hetao, and the pledge meeting for the expedition naturally could not be started.
As for the 10,000 so-called logistics of the military academy, they have not yet prepared, and they will have to wait at least ten more days if they want to go on the expedition.
Therefore, everything on this expedition was simple, just he brought a few guards, and then there were five hundred flying phoenix troops.
"Woo......" Behind him, a horn sounded above the city.
The five hundred flying phoenix troops shook off the banner, like a black dragon about to take off, followed behind Li Chengqian, and galloped away in two columns.
Next came the carriages full of supplies, almost all of which were loaded with the equipment of the Feng Fei Army, as well as the tents, grain and grass needed along the way.
Du Ruhui looked at the team that was gradually moving away, until they disappeared on the other side of the horizon, then turned back and said, "Let's go back!" ”
……
Although Li Chengqian is still thinking about the prisoners of war in Guo Xiaoke's hands, he can't take care of it at this time, and it is the right thing to take care of the things in front of him.
As for what kind of arrangements the old man will make in the Western Regions and Liaodong, in Li Chengqian's opinion, it has nothing to do with him, and how to kill the 200,000 Xue Yantuo cavalry is what he needs to think about now.
"What is His Royal Highness King Qin thinking?" A black carriage joined Li Chengqian's team halfway through, and when it came to Li Chengqian's side, an old voice came out of the carriage.
"The old gentleman looked at the clouds over there, as if they were stained red with blood." Li Chengqian pointed to the eastern sky, where the morning sun rose, the clouds on the horizon were a delicate red.
The old man's voice in the carriage did not cooperate with Li Chengqian, but he just hummed softly and continued: "But the old man only saw a heavy rain tonight!" ”
"Can't you cooperate, sir?" Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Li Jingxian in the carriage: "If you go to Mobei this time, you will definitely create boundless slaughter, how will future generations evaluate our expedition, do you know?" ”
Li Jingxian's indifferent expression did not change at all, and he squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the rising sun and said, "Since His Royal Highness King Qin has already made a decision, why should he care about what future generations will say?" ”
"What the hell is going on with you old man, will you die if you cooperate with this king!" Li Chengqian was ignored by the old man once or twice, and he couldn't help but be angry.
"So what does His Highness want the old man to say? Persuade you to commit less iniquity? Or do you want to let go of your hands and kill? Li Jingxian twisted her gray beard and fixed her eyes on Li Chengqian's body.
"Forget it, I have a generation gap with you old man." Li Chengqian shook his head.
"What, what ditch?" The noun of the later generations finally made Li Jingxian's calm and waveless eyes fluctuate a little, and asked curiously.
"The generation gap is the collision of ideas and concepts between two or three generations." Li Chengqian said a sentence without answering, and suddenly felt that it didn't seem interesting to bring this old man out.
"Your group of people is very good, if the 10,000 people in front of you are also like this, the old man will have more confidence in this expedition." Li Jingxian was silent for a while, and when she saw that Li Chengqian stopped talking, she took the initiative to find him again.
"Pretty much, they're just fighting differently." Li Chengqian glanced back at the cavalry behind him, and there was a faint arrogance in his tone.
Although Li Chengqian could not master all the military training subjects of later generations, he was able to learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses in combination with the military training standards of the Tang Dynasty.
"The other side has an army of 200,000, how are you going to fight?" Li Jingxian probably felt a little bored, so she pulled Li Chengqian to ask questions.
"Hehe, you old man really think that I will use 10,000 men to attack the 200,000 troops that have been stationed on the border for a month? Do you think I'm crazy? Li Chengqian glanced at the old man in the carriage, feeling that it was a little bad for him to be so direct, he paused and said: "I plan to go around to the back of Xue Yantuo, if I can't go around, I will directly hit a hole and come out, in short, I don't plan to fight hard." ”
"Hmm. It's kind of sane! Li Jingxian nodded, took one last look at Li Chengqian, and slowly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
The newly built official road was very smooth, and the modified carriage ran very smoothly on it, and the bumps were not serious, and the old man seemed to have really fallen asleep in a short time.
The long-distance march is lonely, and the bumps of the war horse can turn all people's desire to chat into fragments, except for the first day and Li Jingxian chatted for a while, the whole person fell into silence, and the tangled expression along the way almost declared his unhappiness to everyone.
The scorching sun of June is scorching, and the sun on people's bodies almost roasts out the fat in the body.
But even so, Li Chengqian and his entourage still maintained a high-intensity march of 300 miles a day, and traveled through the state and the capital all the way to Fengzhou.
At this time, outside the city of Fengzhou, there was already a large army gathered, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here, and Wei Chi Baolin and Li Daozong, who came back from Chang'an, stared at each other every day.
