"Someone, open the door!" the fourth prince shouted as he stood in front of the camp gate, pointing to the tightly closed camp gate.

"Crunch!"

As soon as the fourth prince's voice fell, before the guards behind him could react, the camp gate was opened from the inside.

A group of brightly armored soldiers with spears in hand ran out of it and lined up neatly on both sides of the road.

The fourth prince looked at these soldiers nervously, puzzled in his heart.

What are you doing?

The fourth prince was in doubt, and suddenly, a tall, bearded, and iron-clad man walked out of it with a group of generals.

"Jingying Admiral Sun Ping See His Royal Highness the Four Princes, His Royal Highness the Four Princes Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Sun Ping saw the Four Princes, and immediately knelt on the ground, clasped his hands into fists, and held them high above his forehead.

The fourth prince hurriedly jumped off his war horse, walked in front of Sun Ping, and helped Sun Ping up, "General Sun, please get up!"

Sun Ping was not hypocritical, and stood up from the ground.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's decree has also come down last night, and I ordered all the people last night. Just wait for His Highness to give an order. ”

Sun Ping's voice was deep and sonorous.

Sun Ping was tired of staying in the capital for a long time, and the soldiers should rush to kill on the battlefield, instead of staying in the capital to retire.

For Sun Ping, staying in the capital is to retire. Although the capital is safe, the wife is peaceful. However, for the soldiers, this comfort was like death. No ambitious person wants to be in this situation for a long time.

Therefore, when the holy decree came to the barracks, Sun Ping's heart, which had been calm for a long time, became restless again.

The fourth prince looked at Sun Ping, then looked at the soldiers standing on both sides of the road, and said with emotion: "With such a strong soldier in hand, why are you afraid of the Yaosheng Empire?"

"Hahaha, what the fourth prince said is extremely true, with such a strong soldier in hand, why are you afraid of those weak and powerless southern barbarians?" Sun Ping laughed.

"Fourth prince, please enter the barracks. ”

The fourth prince led the war horse and followed Sun Ping into the barracks.

Li Beixiang followed behind the four princes and headed towards the barracks.

.......

"Hooha, hooha, hooha!"

As soon as he entered the barracks, the fourth prince saw the neatly trained soldiers standing there.

The soldiers were naked, their sweat shining a bronze glow in the sun.

"Male soldiers, male soldiers!" the fourth prince clapped his hands and praised.

Sun Ping said: "Although the male soldiers are good, if they can't go to the battlefield, it's for nothing." ”

The fourth prince turned around, looked at Sun Ping, and said, "General Sun, follow me, there will be no shortage of battles." I'm afraid you won't dare?"

"Haha, in this world, there is nothing that our Jingying soldiers are afraid of. Sun Ping laughed and said with a dumb face.

"Then when will the general set off? The sooner the sooner the better. The fourth prince looked at Sun Ping and said tentatively.

"It is estimated that in three days, this army will go on an expedition, and there will be many affairs, and it will take three days at the earliest. Three days later, the Fourth Prince came here again to look for me. Sun Ping pinched the beard on his chin and said.

"Okay, then I'll come to the general in three days. ”

.......

On the third day, the sun had just flown above the horizon, and the entire eastern clouds were dyed red by the sun.

The fourth prince took Li Bei back and forth to the gate of the camp in Beijing.

At this time, the Beijing camp was extremely busy, and the soldiers came and went, working non-stop.

"Haha, Your Highness, the last general has been waiting for a long time. Sun Ping stood at the gate of the camp, looked at the four princes who came slowly, and laughed loudly.

The fourth prince jumped down from his war horse, greeted him, and said, "General Sun, I see why this big camp is so noisy!"

"This is the final preparation, about another hour, the preparation will be completed, when the time comes, only need to give an order from His Highness, then my 300,000 tiger ben will set off. ”

"Good!"

An hour later, the entire military camp was silent, and the four princes, accompanied by Sun Ping, walked to the point of generals.

The fourth prince looked at the soldiers in the audience, there was no extra nonsense, he waved his hand directly, and shouted: "Go!"

"Woooooo

The sound of trumpets sounded throughout the barracks, and for a time flags were unfurled, and red flags were all over the sky.

"Stomp, stomp!"

An army of 300,000 streamed out of the camp gate in a neat queue. The fourth prince looked excited, and rode a war horse to the front of the soldiers.

Li Beixiang looked at the four princes with an excited face, and couldn't help sighing, "Alas, a stupid boy who has never experienced war. ”

For Li Beixiang, the fourth prince is really a stupid boy who has never experienced war. If you have experienced war, you can't be like the current Four Princes.

You know, war is not a fun thing. War is dead, don't look at those generals who like to fight, when they mention the big tent, their blood boils. But there is a reason for all this, they like war with a premise, and that is to always win battles. They are only so excited if they keep winning battles. But if you keep losing battles, no one likes the big tent.

Who likes to lose a battle in this world? I'm afraid no one, right?

Even Li Beixiang doesn't like to fight very much. After all, the war took the lives of everyone who had killed Li Bei and Lao Chai.

Although Li Beixiang does not like war, there are some things that cannot be done without war.

300,000 troops lined up from the camp gate and marched neatly towards the gate of the capital.

As the saying goes, there are 10,000 people in a hurry, and there is no boundary. These 300,000 horses were like a giant dragon hovering over the earth, stretching for more than ten miles.

The forwards have already walked out of the gate of the capital, and the rear army has not yet set off from the camp.

The four princes rode on a tall horse, surrounded by a group of guards, and walked on the official road outside the capital.

"Drive, drive!"

At this moment, a pair of knights on war horses galloped from behind.

"His Royal Highness the Four Princes will wait a minute, His Royal Highness the Four Princes will wait a minute. ”

An official in a crimson robe shouted at the four princes.

When the fourth prince heard this, he hurriedly stopped his horse.

The fourth prince turned his head, looked at the crimson-robed official, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this lord?"

The officer jumped off his horse and took out a yellow scroll from his sleeve.

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, take the order!"

The official opened the decree and said in a deep voice.

The four princes jumped off their horses, and Li Beixiang also jumped down.

All were on their knees.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict: 300,000 troops set out to conquer Fujiang, I am looking forward to the moment when your class teacher returns to the dynasty in the capital. ”

The decree is short and powerful, with only one sentence.

The official closed the decree and handed it to the four princes.

The four princes stood up and took the decree.

"Fourth Prince, don't you have anything to say to Your Majesty?" the official asked in a low voice, stroking the beard on his chin.

The fourth prince said: "Please tell your father, and say that I will not live up to my father's expectations." ”

"Okay, I'll tell your majesty!" the official turned on his horse and rode away.

The fourth prince looked at the departing official, stuffed the holy decree into his arms, and muttered, "It seems that my father still values me very much." ”

Li Beixiang looked at the appearance of the fourth prince, and said secretly: "This still values you? This is just the lowest level of the emperor's mental technique, he just wants you to work with peace of mind, you still take it seriously." Do you really think that you will be able to become a prince when you come back? Don't dream, a prince with great achievements in war is too much of a threat to an emperor. How can an emperor make his successor stronger than himself? Only a dead emperor would want his successor to be stronger than himself, and a living emperor cannot have such an idea. ”

The four princes jumped back on their horses and headed south.

The sun is setting in the west, and the sun is clinging to the western horizon. The clouds on the horizon were dyed orange-red.

There is a way that the morning glow does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles. Li Beixiang looked at the sunset and said in a low voice: "It seems that tomorrow will be a sunny day." ”

The fourth prince leaned over and asked, "How do you know?"

Li Beixiang looked at the four princes and couldn't help sighing, "Alas, this is the most basic thing, and I don't even know this." It's also a shame that you are a prince, if you are a farmer, it is estimated that you will not even be able to grow crops. ”

Of course, Li Beixiang could only think about these words in his heart.

"The morning glow doesn't go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles. Li Beixiang said.

"Oh, I see. The fourth prince nodded without pretending to understand, and then he looked at Sun Ping again and said, "General Sun, I don't think it's too early this day, let the soldiers camp." ”

Sun Ping turned his head and passed on the arrangement of the four princes.

The night was getting darker, and the camp of the 300,000-strong army was not so easy to handle. Fortunately, this is now the boundary of the Tianyin Sect, and it doesn't matter if the camp is good or not, after all, it is impossible to encounter enemy night attacks here.

Li Beixiang looked at the dense camp, and the fire stretched for dozens of miles.

It's not so much the Thirty Army, but it's not. In this expedition, 500,000 people were also recruited. These men pulled all kinds of grain, grass and weapons, and set out with the army.

In this era of low productivity and poor transportation capacity, the expedition of 300,000 troops often requires a lot of people to cooperate.

If these 300,000 troops were allowed to bring their own grain and grass, it would be even more impossible. After all, these 300,000 troops are not those cantonment soldiers (big tents in wartime, growing grain in their spare time. ), all soldiers.

That is, soldiers who only fight, if they are allowed to carry these grains and grasses, it is impossible. Besides, these soldiers were also reluctant to carry grain and grass. After all, the armor on their bodies is not light, and with all kinds of weapons, it is even more heavy, and if they are allowed to carry food and grass again, it is estimated that there will be complaints.

Li Beixiang stood on a small hillside, looking at the camp that stretched for more than ten miles, the little lights and the stars in the sky reflected each other, and it looked like there were some different scenery.

Lao Chai stood behind Li Beixiang and said, "These soldiers look very good, but I don't know how to fight." ”

"Yes, all of them are brightly armored, and they are not bad compared to our Shuodong Army, but I don't know how to fight. But, it looks like that's all right, and it shouldn't be too bad to start a war. Li Beixiang let out a long sigh, looked at the continuous camp below, and spoke.
