Chapter 521: Embarking on the Journey

After nearly three months of preparation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe Blue Dragoon and the Flying Wolf Army finally selected 12,000 soldiers. The 12,000 soldiers were also selected on the basis of 1,000 soldiers. In other words, there are twelve thousand troops that can go to the Western Regions this time!

And these 12,000-person teams were also selected according to the results of the three-month training and the final competition. It can be said that these 12,000 men were the most elite of the 60,000 soldiers trained.

Of the twelve thousand-man teams, eight were from the Green Dragoons and four were from the Flying Wolf Army. And among the four thousand-man teams of the Flying Wolf Army, there was actually one that was completely composed of Yuan Shao's surrendered troops.

During these three months, it was not only the armies that went out to prepare for the war. Even all the materials and equipment used in the war were concentrated in Dunhuang County.

The arrival of these military supplies was also fortunate that Tian Taishou of Dunhuang County had made sufficient initial preparations. The expanded school field happened to become the station of the Liangzhou army that Zhang Ren and the first step came. And the warehouses that were vacated and expanded also became the place to store these military supplies. And it is precisely because of these preparations made in advance that it also brought Tian Taishou the opportunity to rise to the top.

But when Xun Yu's order was placed in front of Tian Taishou, Tian Taishou refused. Moreover, when Xun Yu's envoy returned with Xun Yu's order, Xun Yu was ready to introduce Tian Taishou to Cao De. Because Tian Taishou said when he refused to accept this order: "Hu Lu has not been punished, how dare he abandon his post in the future!" And when Xun Yu was about to recommend Tian Taishou District Chang'an, the news reached Dunhuang, but Tian Taishou said: "Even if you have to go, you have to return to Chang'an with the news of the great victory in the Western Regions!" ”

Cao De's expedition to the Western Regions is already a sure thing. And Cao De was not idle during the three months of military special training.

First, Cao De's economic and trade delegation is about to set off again. This time, as usual, the caravans of various families and the caravans of big merchants were responsible for half of the military supplies, and the transportation of the other half of the military supplies was borne by Cao De himself.

Second, Caodra came up with a strong assist. He is Xiahoudun. When Cao De sent a letter like Liu Xie to inform him of his preparations to rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate, Cao De had already sent an invitation to Cao Cao. And this time, Cao De's army has already begun to prepare. Of course, Cao Cao didn't want to let go of this great opportunity. Therefore, Cao Cao sent a cavalry observation group of 200 people headed by Xiahoudun. First, to assist Cao De in attacking the Western Regions, second, to learn Cao De's cavalry offensive methods, and third, to increase the combat experience of the generals.

The most important thing to note here is that in this cavalry observation group sent by Cao Cao, the descendants of the Cao family occupy nearly one-tenth of the scale.

When he was in Chang'an, when Xiahoudun led this group of descendants of the Cao family into Cao De's prime minister's palace, Cao De looked at the room full of Cao descendants, and his eyes were dazzled. What seven aunts and eight aunts, what big nephews and nephews. In the end, Cao dragged Xiahoudun and went to the back hall. Then Cao De quietly asked Xiahoudun, where did Brother Meng De get so many relatives. And Xiahoudun also smiled helplessly, I don't know. Originally, after hearing from Meng De that a special cavalry unit was going to be built, these boys suddenly appeared in Meng De's general's mansion. The screaming of my uncle and uncle all day long made me feel panicked.

The speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention. As soon as Cao De heard the 'special cavalry unit', could it be that the tiger and leopard cavalry was about to appear?

None of that matters, though. The most important thing is that Cao De was dizzy by the quarrel between this group of Cao family descendants. So, Cao De waved his hand. First go to the special training camp in Liangzhou for a month, and all those who can't adapt will leave. Cao De originally thought that these Cao disciples couldn't say everything, how could there be two or three percent of them who came to mix things up, but after a month of special training, none of the three hundred people sent by Cao Cao were left behind. All of them are in the ranks of those who pass it. This was a bit of a surprise to Cao De.

The three-month special training has ended, and the army preparing to go to the Western Regions has also been prepared, and all kinds of materials for the expedition to the Western Regions are also full of piles in Yumen Pass. It can be said that everything is ready now, and only the east wind is owed. And this east wind needs Cao De.

For such a big event as the expedition to the Western Regions, it stands to reason that the oath meeting before the expedition must be brought by Liu Wei, the king of Hanzhong. But no one knows the actual situation in Han China. Therefore, when the king of Hanzhong felt unwell, Cao Cheng of Han China reluctantly replaced the king of Hanzhong.

Eight years of Jian'an, June 1.

On this day, the weather in Yumen Pass was exceptionally good. The time had just entered the hour, and the sun in the sky was already so hot that people could not stand outside for a long time. However, today, outside the Yumen Pass, there is indeed a huge and boundless army, lined up in a neat and mighty queue, receiving the test of the scorching sun, waiting for the review of Prime Minister Cao Cheng.

It took Cao De only a little more than a quarter of an hour to rush from his temporary residence in Yumen Pass to the Dianjiangtai set up outside Yumen Pass, and Cao De already felt that the water in his body seemed to be evaporated by the sun. However, the soldiers waiting outside the Yumen Pass had been standing in the sun for more than half an hour.

Cao De walked quickly to the point platform and looked around. Flags are displayed, gongs and drums are noisy, golden iron horses, swords and guns are everywhere!

"Soldiers, just three months ago, I sent someone to this place with gifts. Prepare to reconnect with the big Han people here, protect them, and care for them. However, we were ruthlessly betrayed. Of the forty messengers who came here in my place, only nine remain. Thirty-one warriors buried their bones in other lands and turned into wind and sand. This is not only a shame, but also a deep hatred in the sea of blood. So, you're coming, so, I'm coming! I ask you, with my wrath, with the swords and spears in your hands, that the abominable traitors receive the punishment they deserve. Soldiers, go! For the thirty-one brothers who died tragically, for the majesty of Han China, for the majesty of the Han Dynasty! ”

Cao De's oath meeting is not simple, and it is extremely simple. Not why, just because it's too hot. In fact, until the moment before the army set out, that is, when Cao De gave his not exciting speech, Cao De was still thinking about whether to wait for the hot summer to pass before setting out.

However, this was only Cao De's thought for a moment. Now everything is in place. Not only the manpower and material resources spent on this expedition, but if there is hatred, you have to choose revenge, then not only Cao De's face will be disgraced, but even Han China and even the Han will be disgraced.

This war is no longer as simple as snatching the chassis and snatching the loot. This war has been proclaimed by Cao De as the national prestige of the Han and Fanbang. Therefore, Cao De must fight now. There can be no more delay!

With the sound of war drums, the two thousand flying wolf army as the front army took the lead, followed by the eight thousand green dragoons as the middle army, and finally the two thousand flying wolf army as the rear army.

Ding Chong became the vanguard of the army as he wished, and Pang De, who followed Ma Chao, became the commander of the rear army, while Ma Chao and Xiahoudun were the commanders of the Chinese army.

The vengeful legion has embarked on its journey!
