On February 1 of the 19th year of the emperor's reign, that is, the eleventh day after the general of the East Road left Beijing from Daxing, the team of Yang Lin, the marshal of the Eastern Road of the Northern Expedition, the general manager of Youzhou, and the grandson of the emperor, received several troops in a row along the way, and the scale became larger and larger, and the team that began to have a bit of military momentum arrived at Pusaka in Hedong.

Along the way, in addition to the 800 guards of the guard room and the 100 flag guards brought into Beijing by Yi Feng from Huaifa, after leaving Beijing, he received a thousand chariot cavalry soldiers from the emperor in the Bashang military camp, which was from the Gyeonggi Prefecture soldiers in the Lantian area of Bashang, and 1,000 men and horses were drawn from ten different chariots and hussars. When he arrived at Fengyi in Weibei, he received several troops and horses from the early Houzhi according to the order, all of which were government soldiers from the vicinity of Gyeonggi in Guanzhong, including cavalry and infantry. By the time Yi Feng and his entourage crossed the Yellow River via the Pujin Bridge and arrived at the east of the river, the last of the emperor's soldiers and horses had been waiting there for a long time, and they were the hussars of the Zong Tuan from the Hongnong Yang clan, a thousand heavy cavalry of the Zong Tuan, and two thousand infantry. Coupled with the several troops and horses received on the front road, the total number of soldiers and horses that the emperor drew to Yi Feng reached 10,000, far exceeding the original number of 6,000. Among them, there were 1,000 heavy cavalry, 3,000 light cavalry, and 6,000 infantry. Seven thousand were the Gyeonggi Prefecture soldiers, and three thousand belonged to elite troops such as the Jongtuan Hussars.

Perhaps it was the previous assassination incident, or perhaps because of the temporary change of commander, the emperor was not too at ease with the prince, or perhaps he was too concerned about this war, the emperor repeatedly sent more troops and horses to Yi Feng, in addition to giving him the right to command the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the state capitals on Yi Feng East Road, and transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses from Gyeonggi. Although many of them were Gyeonggi government soldiers, and many of them had not been on the battlefield for many years, holding hoes for more time than holding weapons, they were still the elite of the Sui army. Compared to the border soldiers of Youzhou Mansion on the roster of the Ministry of War, it is much stronger.

The team continued to swell, and Yi Feng's personal guards. The emperor's government soldiers and clan hussars, as well as the ten commanders of Youzhou Mansion who followed Yi Feng out of Beijing and the other ten commanders of the East Road this time. Li Yuan and other newly appointed ten managers. They are all Guanlong nobles, or even big nobles, and they went to Youzhou to serve as the governor this time, and each of them brought a family general corps. The number of them surprised Yi Feng. Tang Guogong Li Yuan was finally able to take up a foreign post this time, except for his wife and children who could not take office according to the system, he almost moved the entire Tang Guogong Mansion here. A few concubines and attendants, dozens of maids, mothers-in-law and slaves are nothing, and there are more than 100 private soldiers raised by the Li family alone. Then Li Yuan took office, and a large number of young and strong Zhuang Ding guards were transferred from various Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to take office together, in addition, Li Yuan also brought most of the rest of Li Hu's descendants to work, and a large number of uncles and brothers had to take them to take office to assist him. And each uncle and brother brought a team of family guards, so the final result was. Li Yuan alone brought more than a dozen clansmen and nearly a thousand family generals from the Li family.

Yi Feng finally saw the essence of what is called a gate valve, the Li family has only three generations from Li Hu to Li Yuan. But after three generations and three dynasties, it has formed a force that cannot be underestimated. Although the Li family has lost its leading figures for several years. In the DPRK, it has not been up or down. But this time, as soon as Li Yuan got a real job vacancy, he became a small manager under Youzhou Mansion, and the Li family immediately helped the whole family. In addition to dispatching more than a dozen people to follow and help, they also mobilized and assembled a group of thousands of families with extremely reliable loyalty. With such a team. Li Yuan is the first time to be released, and the first time he has served in Youzhou. But it can also quickly control the state capital and will not be overshadowed by his subordinates. This is the essence of the wealthy families. And a family like Li Yuan can only be regarded as second-rate in the family, and it is not even first-class, let alone those super lords. One can imagine how powerful those thousand-year-old clans were.

Li Yuan brought more than 1,000 relatives and friends to take office, and others were no worse than him.

Princess Leping's son-in-law Li Min of Zhuguo, the emperor's son-in-law Princess Xiangguo's husband Jun Yifeng's father-in-law Li Changya, the emperor's righteous grandson Yang Yichen, Yi Feng's third uncle, Chai Shao, etc., are all big nobles one after another, which is not the number one family in Beijing. They served as the general manager, no different from Li Yuan, with their own relatives and friends, as well as a very large number of family generals. In addition to these large numbers of family arms, there was also a huge number of people, that is, the people who were hired by these nobles along the road. Most of them were hired directly along the road to carry the luggage and baggage for the nobles and their private soldiers. In addition, there were a large number of errands sent directly by the yamen along the road, they knew that they were passing by the current emperor's grandson, and the marshal of the East Road, as well as twenty governors, a large group of officials at all levels, how dare they be half lazy, they have sent their subordinates and temporarily requisitioned many people to help these nobles. In addition, the passing of such a large procession, and the fact that many of them were noble officials, also attracted many merchants in the vicinity to come with goods and follow behind the procession. Every day, when the procession stops at the palace, the neighborhood immediately becomes a makeshift market, and the merchants work hard to do this temporary business. Those who sell wine, meat, and snacks, and even those who sell singing and performing arts, and even sell their bodies, are simply varied.

By the time Yi Feng and his entourage arrived at Pusaka, Hedong, where they had gathered the last group of 3,000 people, the team was already getting more and more swollen and a little scary.

This team is at least 30,000 people.

The local officials were nervous and insomnia, but their assassin Wang Yang Hong was still acting governor in Yangzhou at this time, and the latest news was that their assassin history had just been transferred to the position of acting governor of the state, and they were going to the position of acting governor of the state.

Yang Xiong, the deputy commander of the East Road and the commander of the Hussars of the Sect, proposed to Yi Feng and held a military parade in Pusaka to consolidate the troops and horses and boost morale. Although Yi Feng didn't think there was much need, this was a completely rabble force, no matter how it was integrated, it wouldn't have much effect, after all, as soon as he arrived in Youzhou, Yi Feng planned to let the governors return to the states with their own men and horses to take up their posts. He had already made up his mind that his Huaihuang army would be led by himself, and he would never be led by others. These twenty governors have to lead the troops and command the troops, and they have to figure out their own way. In short, the twenty armies under the command of the twenty governors were 100,000 horses. It will never include its own Huaihuang army. However, since Yang Xiong mentioned yì like this, Yi Feng did not object. It's okay to have a school review ceremony, just to speed up the march in the future. Don't be the same as before, it took eleven days to walk from Chang'an to Pusaka.

In Yang Xiong's view, it is very necessary to have a grand review. He turned out to be a general who commanded the army, but unfortunately he was secretly surrendered by the emperor and put on the shelf, and he had not been in contact with soldiers and horses for many years. This time, he finally got the position of deputy marshal, and also obtained the hussars of the three thousand sects to command the elite, his heart has long been itchy, and he now especially needs to use this military parade to adjust his state of being separated from the army for many years.

Of course. Yang Xiong also intends to use this review to remind those new managers that although he is not the general manager, he is the deputy marshal and their boss. However, due to the suspicion of the emperor over the years, Yang Xiong was careful and low-key, and the team of the generals of the year had already been disbanded, and he did not dare to toss much when he went out of Beijing this time. didn't go overboard like Li Yuan and them, so in the end, along the way, the chiefs showed off their might, but he, the deputy commander, seemed a little alone. The momentum was completely overpowered. He felt that it was absolutely necessary to use this ritual to give them a good reminder.

Yang Xiong was also a brave general who fought immediately, and this mixed army actually had a good foundation. Although from the ministries. But they can all be called elite, whether it is Yi Feng's personal guard. It is still the Gyeonggi Prefecture soldiers or the Hussars of the Sect, and even the family members of Li Yuan and other governors. In fact, most of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield, and after retiring, they were arranged in their mansions, and they are actually much stronger than ordinary government soldiers.

It didn't take much effort, and it only took three days to carry out the initial rest and running-in, and when it was officially reviewed, Yang Xiong had already trained this hybrid army very neatly, and the teams were neat and uniform. Even those people who were hired along the road, Yang Xiong officially organized them into a people's battalion, responsible for logistics and heavy transportation, organized them into a team of 50 people, a regiment of 200 people, and a battalion of 1,000 people, and assigned temporary leaders at all levels, and also sent supervision officers. Yi Feng couldn't help but be surprised, and ignored this Zongzheng Siqing, who had always been smiling and gentle, and just thought that this old boy was very slippery in business, and he didn't care about talking about money or arrogance, but it turned out that he had unified his troops and horses, and he walked the same. No wonder Yang Jian was so protective of him, he hung him up early, gave him a high position of the third prince and did not give him the actual position of a general, this is indeed a capable person.

Although the review ceremony is far inferior to the military parades of later generations, and even if you use a critical sentence, the military parade organized by Yang Xiong is actually just a level equivalent to the military training of college students in later generations. But thinking of the hybridity of this unit, and he only spent three days on the formation exercise, with such a result, it is already quite remarkable. This fully reflects Yang Xiong's military literacy and organizational ability.

During the three days of rest in Pusaka, Yi Feng asked Yang Xiong to be in charge of the review on the one hand, and on the other hand, he rewarded the officers and soldiers on a large scale, and he gave each soldier five catties of meat and two catties of wine to reward them for their march for several days. This reward was not only given to the official officers and soldiers, but also to the private soldiers of the commanders-in-chief, and even to the errand officers sent by the state and county governments who were temporarily hired. This can be regarded as Yi Feng's show of favor to everyone and buy people's hearts. Although the vast majority of these people will not be directly commanded by him, after all, nominally these people will be his subordinates in the future.

After the successful review ceremony, the army that had been initially integrated went north again. When he came, Yi Feng went south from Hebei, and then passed through Luoyang through Tongguan. This time, he crossed the Yellow River from the Pujin Bridge into Hedong, went north along the Fen River to Taiyuan in Bingzhou, and then crossed Taihang through Jingcheng, entered Zhending, Hengzhou, Hebei, and returned to Youzhou.

This road has always been the most convenient road in Hebei and Guan, and the road that went south through Henan to enter the customs was not the best route, and the road condition was far worse than the previous one.

The sun in February is weak and shining on the official road in the south of Longmen County, Hedong, the ditch and ditch on the official road are uneven, although it is a national highway level road, but the road condition is not good, and the villages on both sides are also sparse and sparse, a bleak. A few jackdaws croaked from time to time on a few dead branches beside the road, as if they were looking for food. Occasionally, one or two slumbered by, hurried, carrying luggage rolls. War is about to break out in the north. Already, some of the people who lived on the border began to move south.

At noon, in this silent wilderness. A huge contingent appeared, and the queue was formed in a long formation. In front were soldiers on foot, in the middle of which were a long line of wagons, and on the frozen ground on both sides of the road were knights galloping on horseback.

At this moment, in a large carriage in the middle of the procession sat Yi Feng, the marshal of the Eastern Expedition of the Northern Expedition, and a young woman, with a face towel on her face.

Yi Feng wore a purple and gold crown, a crimson embroidered gold python robe, a thirteen-section gold belt around his waist, and a jade sword, with a heroic temperament. Dignified.

The woman sitting opposite him was none other than Yuwen Yubo, the princess of Lintao County, and before Yi Feng left Beijing, she claimed to her family that she was going to live in Feng Yi's manor for a few days, and then as soon as Yi Feng passed by, she immediately followed. Originally, Yi Feng told her that she would live in Feng Yi for a few days, and then wait for two months, and then she would go to Luoyang, and then disappear directly and go to Huaihuang. Ke Yifeng's car has just passed. Yuwen Yubo couldn't stay for a day. After thinking about it, she didn't tell anyone, she directly changed into a set of men's clothes, and then rode a horse to catch up with Yi Feng's team.

Look at this lover in front of you. Yuwen Yubo felt extremely satisfied, and no matter how much adventure he had, it was worth it. She didn't know what was wrong, and now she seemed completely captivated by him. Stuck in a terrible swamp, unable to get out at all. But look at this young lover. She also had to admire him, he was so good. In a short period of time, he has gone from a green forest horse thief in northern Xinjiang to the current emperor's grandson, how many heroes and heroes follow him, and how many aristocratic ministers are attached to him.

At this time, Yuwen Yubo snuggled up to Yi Feng's side, with a satisfied smile on his face, "Sumeru, why are you frowning all the way, still blaming me for not following?" But I really miss you so much, I can't wait two months, I can't wait a day. No matter how unhappy you are, you can't let me go back again. ”

"You're here, how can I still let you go back. I'm not thinking about that, it's about anything else. Yi Feng smiled, raised his head and stroked her jade neck.

"And what are you thinking?" Yuwen Yubo changed his previous free and easy appearance, curled up in his arms like a little woman, and put a jade hand under his robe with a smile on his face, all the way up, "Don't say it, let me guess what you are thinking, it's definitely not about frowning about money and food, you are a rich man, and many people in Jingshi say that your wealth can already be among the richest people in the world." Well, by the way, you must be thinking about how to face that white-haired princess when you go back. I heard that you were saved by her because of your injury and amnesia, and then she let you join her, and you married into the Gao Mansion, oh no, you married her. This time you entered Beijing, but you got married by Your Majesty, married Su Jun as your wife, and demoted this white-haired princess to a concubine wife. ”

As she spoke, her jade hand had already entered the position, grabbed the handle of the lover, and gently rubbed it. On the other side, the half of her body that was nestled against Yi Feng also began to rub on purpose, and the plump and elastic towering friction of Yi Feng's heart shook for a while. It has to be said that these women who have just changed from maidens to young women are the most terrifying, they are in a kind of just opened door to a new world, after experiencing those magical pleasures, they have become the taste of marrow, and they have become unbridled.

"Three times in one night last night, it's not enough, it's really not enough." Yi Feng groaned softly. He is not the kind of person who pursues desires excessively, but the handle is held, and under a little teasing, his anger is also provoked.

Yuwen Yubo exhaled like an orchid, put his lips close to Yi Feng's ear, and stretched out his fragrant tongue to lick Yi Feng's earlobe gently, deliberately aggravating the panting sound a little, "Your Highness hasn't answered me yet, are you afraid of that princess?" ”

Yi Feng leaned back a little, found a comfortable feeling, closed his eyes slightly, and let her go up and down there, "Yes, I'm so scared, that's a white-haired witch, if she knows that you are going back with me, she will definitely cut you with a knife." Yi Feng also joked. On the side of the high and shallow snow, there may be some minor problems, but they will definitely not be a major problem. There will definitely be some minor troubles, but he believes that Gao Qianxue can understand him and can seek common ground while reserving differences. What he was thinking about just now was the current situation.

Although after an inexplicable assassination, history seems to have moved back a little, and in the end Yang Guang still failed to lead the Northern Expedition, and Gao Gong also returned to the Northern Expeditionary Army, but there are many differences with history. The crown prince Yang Yong took command, and he also became the marshal of the East Road, while Yang Guang was under house arrest in Beijing. It can be said that history has been very different from the original now, so will the historical trends he knows still happen. After the Battle of Sui Tu, will the Sui Dynasty still achieve a big victory, and after the Battle of Sui Tu, will the emperor still depose Yang Yong, and will Yang Guang still become the crown prince?

One qiē, one qiē, he was a little unsure. It seems that from now on, Yiqiē has changed, and he can only rely on himself.

"I want, give me, now!" Yuwen Yubo shouted panting. (To be continued......)
