Chapter 1: Shi Siming

"Rumble!"

With the sound of thunderous hooves, a group of Tang Dynasty rushed forward and headed for the northwest.

This Tang army was the Tang army under the leadership of Li Changguo, which set out from Chang'an and went straight to the land of Hehuang, preparing to attack Dashi.

There are 5,000 dragon warriors, and the meritorious soldiers who returned to Beijing to be honored, all of them are elites, and the momentum is shocking during the march, which is very admirable.

"If you don't break the big food, you swear not to pay it back!"

Sending troops to eat has always been the dream of the Tang people, and now it has finally become a reality, the Tang Dynasty officially sent troops, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were very happy.

Amid the cheers of the people, the procession marched forward without the slightest pause, let alone shouting, only the sound of thunderous hooves in the middle of the march.

"What a majestic team!"

"Then needless to say, who called us the elite of our Datang?"

"This is the Dragon Warrior Army!"

"There are also heroes who fought in Tibet, can they be worse?"

The people pointed to the fast-moving procession, and there was a lot of discussion and admiration.

Li Changguo rode on his horse, looked at the marching procession, and saw that the soldiers were all holding their heads high, their morale was high, and their fighting spirit was blazing, and they were greatly satisfied.

It has been decades since the Tang Dynasty fought with Da Shi, and if you add the diplomatic confrontation between the two countries that began during the Tang Taizong period, it has been more than a hundred years. During this hundred years, the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food had a life-and-death confrontation in diplomacy, military, and economy, and although the Tang Dynasty had the upper hand, it had no way to hit the Great Food hard, let alone send troops to defeat the Great Food.

This dispatch is the first time in a hundred years in the Tang Dynasty, everyone is excited, everyone is happy, as the Tang Dynasty men who participated in this battle, the soldiers are doubly happy, all looking forward to the early battle with the big food.

Therefore, it is impossible for them not to be demoralized.

Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Li Mi, Du Fu, An Lushan, Gao Shi, and Cen Shen were all around Li Changguo, and their eyes were shining brightly, and they were extremely excited.

"Dashuai, I, An Lushan, never thought that you would let me go with the army, thank you Dashuai." An Lushan hugged his fists at Li Changguo with a pair of fat hands and thanked him loudly.

Breaking the big food is a grand event, not to mention personally participating, but listening to it makes people's blood excited. Although An Lushan has ambitions and does not take the world into account, it must be the greatest honor in life to participate in this battle. An Lushan originally thought that he had nothing to do with this, and he didn't even fight for it, but what he didn't expect was that Li Changguo actually asked him to make a film with the army. This is a great joy for An Lushan, and it will not be possible if he is not happy.

"If you contribute to the country, you don't have to thank you." Li Changguo asked An Lushan to go out with the army by name, but he did not have any good intentions, but took the opportunity to get rid of An Lushan.

An Lushan is Li Longji's favored minister, and if he wants Li Longji to kill him, it will be very difficult, and it should be said that it is impossible. If An Lushan is allowed to go out with the army, Li Changguo will rub An Lushan all over and pinch it round, stretch it and smash it short, is it not Li Changguo who has the final say?

It's a big deal, after killing An Lushan, I will give him a big credit. An Lushan is dead, even if it is a great merit, what use can it be?

"When will Fan Yang's elite arrive?" Li Changguo raised his eyebrows and asked loudly.

Li Changguo not only wants to get rid of An Lushan, but also gets rid of Shi Siming and Fan Yang's elite together.

An Lushan was originally a Hu person, he had many Hu people under him, and Fan Yang's elite was a Hu person, this team could not survive, otherwise, there would be a lot of trouble. If you take advantage of the opportunity of this expedition to the Great Eclipse and use the hand of the Great Eclipse to get rid of Fan Yang's elite, which not only achieves the purpose of eliminating future troubles, but also reduces the casualties of the Tang Army, why not?

You must know that although An Lushan is a minister and the culprit of the Anshi Rebellion, after all, he is proficient in the way of soldiers, good at using soldiers, good at training, and Fan Yang elite is a rare strong soldier in the world. This is a rare elite, and it is suitable for big food.

It is precisely because Fan Yang is rare in the world that An Lushan Fan Yang raised troops and almost wiped out the Tang Dynasty with 150,000 troops.

"Don't worry, Dashuai will be here soon, and you will never miss Dashuai's schedule!" An Lushan was full of confidence, and said with a smile: "Don't say anything else, although my Fan Yang Jin soldiers are not as elite as the Long Wu Army, they are rare strong soldiers in the world, and the orders are strict, as long as I give an order, even if the sword mountain is a sea of fire, they will not frown." ”

Although An Lushan's surname is brutal, however, his orders are extremely strict, his words are orders, who dares to disobey? If you don't obey or die, there will never be a second way. This is also the reason why Fan Yang's army has become the elite of the world.

"Shi Mingsi led the army here, and it will be fine." An Lushan praised Shi Siming a lot.

Shi Siming, like An Lushan, is from a Hu background. The two grew up together since childhood, and their friendship is not shallow, to paraphrase a modern phrase, it is "to carry a gun together, to scoop a prostitute together", the two of them are hardcore and sworn friends.

In addition, Shi Siming has strong martial arts, good skills, flexible mind, and proficient in military affairs, and has won the trust of An Lushan, and has become An Lushan's left arm and right arm.

"That's good." Li Changguo is looking forward to meeting Shi Siming, this is also a character who must be eliminated.

Under the leadership of Li Changguo, the soldiers hurried quickly, and the road was smooth, and they soon arrived at the land of Hehuang.

Li Changguo was still a hundred miles away from Longxi, so he greeted the generals stationed here.

Breaking the Great Eclipse has always been the dream of the Tang people, in the past, although the Tang Dynasty sent troops, but did not send troops on such a large scale, at most it was to defeat the Great Eclipse, which was too far from breaking the Great Eclipse. Now, the Tang Dynasty is going to send troops in a big way, breaking the big food can be expected, the soldiers can't wait for a long time, as soon as they heard that Li Changguo is coming, the soldiers are overjoyed, welcome out of the hundred miles.

"I've seen the big handsome!" The generals saluted Li Changguo.

"Huh!" Immediately after, there was a burst of laughter, and the mouth cracked into a lotus.

"Looking at your joyful appearance, I just want to ask you, are you so happy because I have become a great commander, or are you about to send troops to defeat the Great Food?" Li Changguo glanced at the generals and teased.

"Haha!" These ridiculous words made the generals even more happy, and they raised their heads to the sky, and let out a burst of laughter, indescribable joy.

"It's all, it's all there!" The generals replied with a smile.

Li Changguo's rising general, although it was the first time he was in charge of the army, he was deeply loved by the soldiers.

Li Changguo is brave, strong in martial arts, and skillful, which is deeply admired by the brave soldiers.

Moreover, Li Changguo was able to make good decisions and be good at using troops, such as the Battle of Hehuang, Shibao City, Dafeichuan, Jishi Mountain, and Luo...... There are Li Changguo's heroic deeds everywhere. Without Li Changguo, the Tang Dynasty would not have been able to pacify Tibet.

Li Changguo's unified army went to the Great Eclipse, which was what the generals thought in their hearts and what the generals were looking forward to.

"How are the soldiers?" Li Changguo was most concerned about the military situation, and immediately inquired about it.

"Don't worry, brothers, the situation is very good."

"Eat well, dress warmly, howl all day long, look forward to the stars and the moon, and hope that as soon as the handsome arrives, we will set off and kill all the big dogs!"

"When we are stationed in Hehuang, we are preparing to break the big food all day, as long as the commander gives an order, we can go on the expedition, and we will not drag mud and water."

Soldiers, you say a word, I say a word, and I talk nonsense, as if it is a show of merit.

Li Changguo nodded slightly and said, "That's good!" You have heard clearly, if there is half a lie, military law will be done! ”

"Dashuai, you can rest assured, there is no lie!" The generals beat their chests and said in unison, extremely confident.

"It is the long-cherished wish of the Tang Dynasty boy to break the big food, we have long been looking forward to sending troops, can there be a fake?" There are even generals who explain.

Breaking the Great Food has always been the dream of the Tang people, and when they are about to send troops, they are fully prepared, which is very credible, Li Changguo nodded and said, "Let's go!" ”

Under the leadership of Li Changguo, he soon rushed to Longxi. When he arrived in Longxi, Li Changguo did not enter the marshal's mansion, but went straight to the barracks. Upon arriving at the camp, Li Changguo was taken aback.

I saw that the soldiers were playing polo, with superb riding skills and good ball skills, riding horses, chasing polo, coming and going like the wind. They all howled, chasing the polo in a row, and roaring loudly, as if they had inexhaustible energy.

Polo originated in Tibet, and after it spread to the Tang Dynasty, it was very popular with the Tang people. It was especially popular among the Don Army, as it helped to improve horsemanship. The Tang army had many war horses, and there was a war horse regardless of the type of army, even if it was infantry, it was also on horseback when marching. Therefore, riding is extremely important to the Tang army, and the polo that integrates play and riding has been favored by the soldiers, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty also knows the value of this game, and he has made great efforts to implement it in the army, which is why polo is popular.

The soldiers played polo so energetically, indicating that they had recovered from the fatigue of fighting in Tibet and could withstand the next big battle.

"Dashuai, why don't you go in?" When they all arrived at the gate of the barracks, Li Changguo not only did not enter, but left, which made the generals very strange.

"Let's go to another camp." Li Changguo should prepare for a comprehensive inspection, understand the problems, and solve the problems.

The next big battle will be extremely hard, more difficult than the attack on Tibet, and it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding.

Da Shi is a behemoth, its territory is not smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty, the population is large, the big war between the two countries is bound to be difficult and abnormal, must be fully prepared. To be fully prepared, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the problem.

"Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Li Mi, you all pick up the barracks to patrol." Li Changguo ordered loudly.

Guo Ziyi and the others took the order and left.

Li Changguo himself inspected more than a dozen military camps, and saw the same situation, so he no longer inspected, but returned to the Longxi Marshal's Mansion to prepare for the westward expansion.

The Anxi Protectorate was in danger, and the sooner the Tang army advanced westward, the better, and Li Changguo did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and worked hard all night. Under his mobilization, the Shuaifu was busy, the officials went in and out, and the river was endless, even at night, it was brightly lit.

Soon, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Li Mi came back from their inspection, and they saw the same situation, in a word, the soldiers had already prepared, just waiting for Li Changguo's general order.

"Handsome, Shi Siming led Fan Yang's elite to arrive!" Kant came in and saluted Li Changguo and reported loudly.

"Shi Siming?" Li Changguo recited the name lightly.
