After the Lantern Festival, the 30,000 war horses provided by the Wei clan have been delivered to Ji Qingchen, and the remaining 70,000 war horses can only be delivered to him after Ji Qingchen returns to Caozhou because they are still in Shangzhou.

And on the second day after the delivery of the war horse, that is, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Ji Qingchen bid farewell to Emperor Yan and Concubine De and embarked on the road back to Caozhou again.

And on this day, the people in the city of King's Landing did not see off Ji Qingchen, and millions of people gathered on the streets to chant the king of Northern Liao, which made Ji Qingchen unforgettable for the rest of his life.

Because the people had great expectations for him, thinking that only he could drive Beirong out of Liaozhou. There were even many simple people in King's Landing, he made a not too luxurious cloak with the money he had saved for several months, walked in front of Ji Qingchen's horse team, knelt on the ground and personally draped it on Ji Qingchen.

This move moved Ji Qingchen very much!

also moved the 800 cavalry battalion around him!

It even moved the people of King's Landing, and they all knelt on both sides of Suzaku Street and began to pray for Ji Qingchen!

The school grounds, which were also improvised outside King's Landing for the training of the new army, were covered with flags, and the atmosphere was gloomy. Because the 200,000 army stood quietly on the school grounds, waiting for Emperor Yan to practice for them.

However, this time Emperor Yan did not come on horseback like last time, he took a sedan chair and came with the queen and Concubine De.

When Emperor Yan's sedan chair arrived at the schoolyard, Ji Qingchen, as the leader of this army, had already arrived at the schoolyard and stood quietly in front of the army. Emperor Yan got off the sedan chair and walked step by step to the point of the general platform, he had Concubine De and the queen by his side, under normal circumstances, in addition to the queen, it is difficult for the rest of the concubines to be qualified to ascend to the point of the general platform, but with Ji Qingchen's military exploits in Caozhou, with his power and status in Dayan, Concubine De's prestige in the harem has also risen, which is allowed to enjoy such an honor today.

Emperor Yan and the Empress and Concubine De boarded the platform, and saw that the front of the stage was the cavalry, and the back of the cavalry was hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers, although the 200,000 army had only undergone four months of training, but because of the state army of their individual states, the commander who trained them was the famous Yan general Bai Jin, so no matter how effective this new army was, first of all, the momentum was not weak, and the whole body was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

When 200,000 saw Emperor Yan, they immediately shouted, "Long live Your Majesty!" Long live Your Majesty! ”

Their shouts shook the heavens and the earth, and like their momentum, they were unstoppable.

"Soldiers!" Emperor Yan lightly pressed his hand, and waited until the 200,000 army stopped calling before he spoke, "Today, you are going north to face the fierce and brutal Beirong people who bully the people of Liaozhou, Yunzhou and Shangzhou of Great Yan, I have nothing more to say, because I believe in you, and I believe that my people have the blood of our ancestors in their blood, and they are brave, strong, and not afraid of death. ”

"Kill—" The 200,000-strong army roared in unison.

"Kill—yes, that's exactly what I want to say today, that is, I hope you can drive our enemies Beijung out of Dayan and kill them! So—I don't want to say anything to you today, just one sentence, you go north to Caozhou, and I will wait for you to go home in King's Landing, and then I will celebrate the victory with you, but I will pour you wine again, and we will get drunk and rest again. ”

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Dayan! The army of 200,000 roared.

Emperor Yan's words were very short, and even a little incoherent, but this did not affect the new army's longing for him in the slightest. Because these new soldiers are all young and strong in their twenties, they grew up listening to the news of Emperor Yan's southern and northern wars when they were young, and they have special feelings for Da Yan, the emperor on horseback.

I have never seen what the emperor I worship looks like before, and I can see it here today, what else can I ask for in this life?

"Emperor, I'm waiting for your good news!" Emperor Yan said to Ji Qingchen, showing a kind face, because he knew that Ji Qingchen's trip to Caozhou to fight Beirong this time was the real battle of life and death, and it was the contest between life and death.

"Chen'er, you have to take care of yourself, the mother is waiting for you to go home." Concubine De said, her tone choked, but she still couldn't hold back and didn't cry. Similarly, the queen's expression is also very complicated, once upon a time, his son was also the prince of Dayan, didn't he also go to Yanmen Pass, but he never returned to die in Yanmen Pass?

"Erchen Zhilu said! Please rest assured that the sons will drive Beirong out of Dayan and recover the Yanmen Pass, this time the sons will go north to Caozhou, I don't know when they will be able to return to Junlin to honor their father and mother, and please take care of their fathers and mothers! Ji Qingchen said movingly.

"Yes!" Concubine De responded.

And Emperor Yan just nodded, because he believed Ji Qingchen's words, because if he was twenty years younger, standing in the position where Ji Qingchen was standing now, facing 200,000 Beirong Iron Horsemen, he could do it, and since he could do it himself, he would definitely believe that his son could do it.

"Soldiers-" At this time, Ji Qingchen had already turned his horse's head and shouted in the face of the 200,000 army, "Today, when you leave King's Landing City, you will go to Caozhou to fight and kill the enemy, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid—" roared the army of two hundred thousand.

"There will be death on the battlefield, none of us will be avoidable, today this king will ask you another word, go north with me Ji Qingchen to kill the enemy, are you afraid of death?" Ji Qingchen shouted again.

"Don't be afraid! We are willing to kill the enemy with the king of Northern Liao to serve the country! The army of 200,000 shouted.

"Good! With your words, this king is content, and this king is willing to live and die with you! Ji Qingchen pulled out the wolf blade and shouted.

"We are willing to live and die with His Highness!" Li Changzheng was the first to roar.

"We are willing to live and die with His Highness!" The eight hundred cavalry battalions roared in unison.

"We are willing to live and die with His Highness!" The 200,000 infected army shouted in unison. At this moment, the blood of the 200,000 army suddenly surged into their hearts, and they also pulled out the saber on their waists, and the murderous aura suddenly filled the school field, which was probably a little suffocating.

Emperor Yan looked at Ji Qingchen's actions and nodded with satisfaction. Because he has fought in battle, he knows that only by working with the soldiers can we solidify the morale of the army and stimulate the morale and combat effectiveness of the army. Now Ji Qingchen did it with just one sentence, and it suddenly stimulated the blood of this army, and he believed that this army would be invincible in Ji Qingchen's hands after it went north.

And the ministers on the side looked at it in their hearts, they were a little uneasy, especially the ministers who supported the second prince Ji Ping, the third prince Ji Hongchang and the fourth prince Ji Wen, and the eighth prince Ji Qian and others. Because Ji Qingchen dared to say that he lived and died with the 200,000 army, this was clearly buying the hearts of the 200,000 army, and he was also naked in front of Emperor Yan to buy the hearts of the army. If this 200,000 army really lived and died with him, maybe this army would be his own in the future.

But they are not satisfied, they are not happy, what can be done? Emperor Yan didn't say anything, what could they say?

"Kill-" Ji Qingchen roared, "The man is determined to go out of Qiaoshan and swear not to return the name of Beirong." Why do you need to be in ambush, life is everywhere. ”

"The boy is determined to go out of Qiaoshan, and he will not destroy the name of Beirong and vow not to return it. Why do you need to be in ambush, life is everywhere. The army of 200,000 roared together, making their iron oath.

"Take care of your father and mother, and your sons will leave!" Ji Qingchen turned his horse's head and said, he didn't wait for Emperor Yan's order any longer, he returned to his horse and shouted to the 200,000 army, "Let's go-"

The drums of war sounded!

The horn blows!

The 200,000 troops received the order, left the school field in an orderly manner, and slowly left the barracks.

Instead, the army went out of the barracks, and only Emperor Yan and the ministers of the court were left in the camp, as well as hundreds of Yulin horsemen, which were empty and lonely, but at this time, Emperor Yan was still standing on the platform.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go back to the palace!" Wei Zhongxian on the side reminded carefully.

"You say, do you believe him?" Emperor Yan asked. There is only one person in Dayan who can ask him such a question, and this person is Bai Jin. Bai Jin said without hesitation, "Believe!" ”

Seeing that Emperor Yan was silent, Bai Jin explained, "Because he is too much like His Majesty, his performance today is the same as His Majesty's Majesty back then, His Majesty did it back then, and the King of Northern Liao will definitely do it today." ”

"Yes! He's so much like me! Emperor Yan said lightly, but there was a smile on his face that was not perceptible, "He will definitely be able to do it." ”

……

Most of the foot soldiers in the 200,000 army will naturally not march too fast, and if there is a war in Caozhou, Ji Qingchen is not in a hurry, so he used the opportunity of the march to constantly train the reaction ability of the soldiers, and in this way, the 200,000 army took nearly a month and a half when it arrived in Caozhou City.

Ji Qingchen, who arrived in Caozhou City, began to reorganize the army non-stop.

Because at this time, Emperor Yan had decreed the abolition of the marching camp and returned all the soldiers and horses of Caozhou to the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which was different from the previous marching camp, it was a permanent yamen guarding the four northern Liao prefectures. Therefore, Ji Qingchen can no longer use the military system of the marching camp to command and command the army.

Therefore, after his short reorganization, the army under the jurisdiction of the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Office was organized into four soldiers and horses, three cavalry and one foot soldier, the main commander of this infantry is Fang Wanqi, the deputy general is Xiang Ziyu, Sima is Xu Zizhang, the number is 100,000, and among the 100,000 foot soldiers, Ji Qingchen has set up a separate 30,000 people of the Rui Shi battalion, with Xiang Ziyu as the main general, this is a heavy infantry, the three cavalry are Cheng Qianfan as the main general, Bai Yang and Yuwen are the main Long Xiang cavalry, a total of 100,000 people, This is a light cavalry reorganized on the basis of the cavalry of the Longxiang Army; The Black Eagle Cavalry, which is dominated by Bai Xiangcheng and Wang Yin, Liu Qingqing and others, is 100,000 people, which is a light cavalry integrated on the basis of the Black Eagle Cavalry; The third is the devil's cavalry with Xu Dachun as the main general, with only 20,000 people, but this is a heavy cavalry, similar to the heavy cavalry like the Tiefutu who left the country.

However, although this Devil Cavalry with a number of nearly 20,000 people was hastily formed, the personnel were the elite selected from the 300,000 army, and their own strength was not to be said, plus war horses and armor and other things were readily available, not to mention the combat effectiveness, in terms of momentum, it was already as good as the National Railway Futu.

Of course, the real strength is naturally not as good as the tiger and leopard riding away from the country, and there is at least a few distances between the two.

But in the face of the Beirong cavalry, who has not seen the power of heavy cavalry, although this cavalry is small in number and not very good in combat, it will still be able to turn the tide at the most critical time of the battle.

After the reorganization of the army, Ji Qingchen held a military meeting in the temporary governor's mansion in Caozhou City, the main content of which was to let the four armies strengthen their training. In the current Governor's Mansion, except for Wei Quanxing, the rest of the people have positions, and everyone is naturally very happy, and the fighting spirit is high, and as soon as the meeting is over, they will go to train their own army.

For the rest of the time, Ji Qingchen was in Caozhou City, quietly waiting for the Beirong army to move south.

However, during this period, he also did not snub Li You, Mulan, and Mu Zhan. Because among the three people, Li You is the grandson of his teacher Li Qingyi, and Mulan and Mu Zhan are the children of his senior brother Mu Feng, both of them have great kindness to him, and he does not dare to slack off on their children and grandchildren.

So he put Li You and Mu Zhan in Li Changzheng's cavalry camp, and in addition to being able to personally guide the two, he also wanted to hone the will of the two.

Because not to mention the combat effectiveness of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, in terms of the fighting will of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, they are the strongest existence among the armies in Caozhou City.

Li Changzheng is in charge of the training of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, but because he is his own personal cavalry, the training of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion will also be supervised by Ji Qingchen, it can be said that the training of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is what Ji Qingchen is personally experiencing, and Li Changzheng is just assisting him.

In this way, putting Li You and Mu Zhan in the Xiaoqi camp will make it easier for the two of them to learn more things, which is Ji Qingchen's selfishness in putting the two in the Xiaocai camp.

Moreover, the Xiao cavalry battalion is the best equipped cavalry in the armies of Caozhou City, and it will never easily participate in the battle, which provides a guarantee of safety for the two of them, because even if the Xiao cavalry battalion participates in the war in the future, its mortality rate will definitely be much lower than that of other cavalry, and the two of them will be placed in the Xiao cavalry camp so that Ji Qingchen can protect their safety very well.

As for Mulan, her girl was arranged by him to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting by Mingyan's side.

Mingyan is not very good at calligraphy and painting, but she is very talented in piano and chess, let Mulan follow Mingyan to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and by the way, let Mingyan take care of Mulan, this is the best choice!

And this is also the reason why Ji Qingchen did not bring Mingyan with him when he returned to Jun this time, because he wanted Ming to take care of Mulan.

However, what Ji Qingchen didn't expect was that in the more than two months since he left, there was a relationship between Mulan and Bai Xiangcheng. How did this relationship come about, and to what extent the two of them have reached, Ji Qingchen still doesn't know, he just heard Mingyan say that the two are very close.

However, since he knew about this matter, Ji Qingchen didn't think about opposing the two!

Because he believes that Bai Xiangcheng is a human being, as long as this illegitimate man likes a woman, he will definitely not have two hearts, and because of the influence of his mother, it is estimated that there will be no more actions such as marrying a concubine, which makes Ji Qingchen very relieved that Mulan will be wronged if he follows Bai Xiangcheng in the future.

So he felt that the combination of Bai Xiangcheng and Mulan was a good marriage.
