Since Liu Xianzhi was appointed as the general to go on the expedition, of course, Liu Yan could not only let Liu Xianzhi rush to Taiyuan alone, after all, Xue Boren took away more than 40,000 people in Taiyuan Prefecture, including the most elite cavalry troops, and the entire Taiyuan Prefecture defense area is currently vacant, so Liu Yan asked Liu Xianzhi to arbitrarily select troops from the north and south camps of Chang'an to rush to the front line.

What surprised him was that Liu Xianzhi's reaction presented two extremes. On the one hand, he was very serious about selecting generals, and even made a list immediately. Sima An, a banner officer with strong martial arts in the Peking University Battalion, Hao Mancai, an archer who is responsible for the care of grain and grass, Ge Boling, a cavalry captain in the Southern Battalion, Han Jianlong, a spear master, and even Situ Botong, who is famous for his sword and shield skills in Yangzhou Mansion. Except for Ge Boling, who is a cavalry captain, these people are all talented but have no talents, and all of them are around the age of thirty, and the oldest Ge Boling is only thirty-five years old, and they all belong to the junior generation in the army. For Liu Xianzhi's requirements, except for Situ Botong of Yangzhou Prefecture, who could not take office in time because of the long distance, Liu Yan met them all. In fact, according to Liu Xianzhi's ideal configuration, there are also Wang Hanxin and Gao Dingbian in the Liaodong Army on the candidate list, and this requirement is of course impossible to meet at present.

On the other hand, Liu Xianzhi was indifferent to the selection of the accompanying troops, except for the careful selection of 700 elite cavalry in the Beida battalion, he did not take a fancy to any of the rest of the troops, but just randomly selected 30,000 soldiers and ordered them to march to Taiyuan with great fanfare, and he didn't even bother to give the most basic orders.

In this regard, Liu Yan couldn't help but ask the reason, but Liu Xianzhi's answer was very simple - as long as these seven hundred horses were enough. Number of people does not represent strength. What's more, the current war is critical, and the larger the size of the troops, the slower the speed of action. There is no time to rush to the aid of Taiyuan.

When asked how he would meet the enemy, Liu Xianzhi only said: "Taiyuan Mansion is upstream of Ulzhou City." And he refused to confide any more.

Once the personnel and materials are ready. Liu Xianzhi did not stop for a moment, and immediately set off with 700 cavalry, completely ignoring the itinerary of the remaining 30,000 troops, and rushed to Taiyuan Mansion in only three days. This speed could have been brought forward if it had not been slightly delayed in crossing the Yellow River, and the time of crossing the river had become the only opportunity for the cavalry to rest, and in addition, they were almost always on horses for three days, even eating and sleeping. Liu Xianzhi, who has always been known as a sick and weak son, shared weal and butter with the soldiers this time, and completed a high-speed march that these soldiers had never had since they joined the army. Because of this, the soldiers did not dare to complain - even the loyal and sickly king of Zhongyi was still like this. What can I say about myself as a soldier? It can be said that Liu Xianzhi used these three days of marching to establish his initial prestige in this army, not only that, but the few young people who had just been promoted to general and had no time to be happy also greatly changed their opinion of this peaceful prince. Before, these people were both grateful and worried about Liu Xianzhi, grateful because of Liu Xianzhi's introduction that he was able to ascend to the sky and become his subordinate in one step, worried that this sick and weak son came to lead the troops, God knows how he would command the battle, in case he gave a stupid and outrageous order, should he obey the order or change his sleeves and leave? Fortunately, in terms of the current situation, Liu Xianzhi can at least be willing to set an example, which seems to be much better than expected.

Came to Taiyuan Mansion. The officials of the original Jingluo Mansion had already received Liu Yan's holy decree, but they didn't expect Liu Xianzhi to arrive so soon, and they only had time to rush to the city gate to greet them in a hurry. After entering the Jinglu Mansion and completing the handover procedures. Liu Xianzhi first arranged for the 700 cavalrymen to rest, and then began to discuss the current situation with the generals.

At present, Abicilir is still besieging Ulju City, but it seems that the attack is not going well. The siege methods of the Turks still did not work. Especially after the successful sneak attack on Dragon City last year, Xue Boren took away all the craftsmen, and at the same time burned the siege equipment that had been manufactured. So much so that this time there was no siege weapon that could be used at all, which could be regarded as Xue Boren saving himself.

But Abicheril wouldn't be so desperate to stare at Ulju City. The attack on Youzhou and Liaodong continued, and at the same time, a small force of Tuqi cavalry had appeared on the defensive front of Taiyuan Province, which mainly attacked the common people, and had not yet taken the initiative to attack the stronghold, but it was estimated that a large-scale attack was not far off.

After listening to the report, Liu Xianzhi let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It seems that I am not too late, Abicilir has not realized that abandoning Xue Jingluo and attacking Taiyuan is the easiest choice for him." Well, now that the king has arrived, then he will also lose this opportunity. ”

"Please transfer your troops, I will do our best." Those generals of Taiyuan Mansion said in unison. Most of these people are his father's old subordinates, they hate and fear him, they all clearly remember that the fourteen-year-old Liu Xianzhi in order to stabilize the military control of Taiyuan and how many generals who supported his father's king, this ruthlessness is really terrifying, I can't imagine that after four years, I actually belong to this little prince, so they are eager to express their position.

"Thank you for your kindness, there are no orders at this time. The king was exhausted from the day's journey, so he had to go to bed immediately. Except for the change in the hostile attitude in front of us, and the goods from the old house of this king Jinju have been delivered, they are not allowed to be disturbed. ”

"Won't you make any deployment adjustments, Lord Wang?" This time, even the four generals brought by Liu Xianzhi couldn't stand it, and Sima An couldn't help but ask.

Liu Xianzhi looked at everyone with a very strange expression and said, "Of course." Why the change? Abicheril's nose is very smart, and the news of the king's arrival will soon reach his ears, and if the king moves again, he will notice the movements of the Taiyuan side, so that he will find that the Taiyuan army is empty to the point where he can no longer hold on, then he will realize how much mistake he has made, and turn to attack us. Recklessness will only invite disadvantage, so it is better to do nothing. In addition, the cavalry brought by this king, including the four of you, must rest and recuperate, and there will be more tiring things waiting for you than this time. ”

After saying this, Liu Xianzhi yawned, waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse, and then staggered to the back hall to rest.

After the generals dispersed, they all had suspicious expressions on their faces, and it didn't seem like Liu Xianzhi's irresponsible words, but he couldn't figure out what his intentions were.

"Let's wait and see, everyone, I hope the prince can have a good way." Hao Man said with a long sigh. As a sharpshooter but forced to guard the grain and grass, he seems to have a little more sense of fate. (To be continued......)
