Li Guixian worshipped the heaven and earth and the gods in charge of the expedition in Beijing, and then led the army to prepare for the expedition, he was wearing bright yellow armor, wearing an embroidered dragon cloak, and wearing the sword used by Taizong at his waist.

Wang Majie recited a magnificent article, first enumerating the ten major crimes of the Tang Dynasty, and then vigorously depicting the strength of the Great Wei Forbidden Army, which will be able to break the enemy army under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, and return to the dynasty in victory.
Hearing this article, the young scholars who came to watch were full of blood, and they were eager to immediately put pen to paper and join the team of the royal driver, but these soldiers didn't feel anything, for no other reason, they didn't even know the words, how could they understand Wang Maha's elegantly worded article?
After the lengthy departure ceremony, Li Gui led the army from Deshengmen in the north to the north, while the affairs of Jingzhong were temporarily handed over to the Empress Dowager and Yang Jiefu and other ministers. The scholars and people who came to watch cheered for these soldiers who went out to see them off, but Yang Jiefu and other ministers were as pale as water, and it was really difficult to see what they really thought in their hearts.
The first day after the army left the city was not very smooth, the departure ceremony was so long that the army had to stop and camp before it had reached ten miles, which made the soldiers who had stood in the sun all day full of complaints.
Li Gui, who was in contact with the war for the first time, was so excited that he couldn't extricate himself, and gathered all the generals who went out into the imperial camp, and said that he had a plan to go out for a long time, and he tossed until late at night before they dispersed; Then the next morning, because Li Gui couldn't sleep well, and dragged on until close to noon before pulling out the camp and marching, but he didn't go a few steps and it was lunch time, so he had to stop the fire and cook again.
"At the beginning, I still thought about taking advantage of the time when I was driving to fight the enemy and make meritorious deeds, so that the ancestors of the Qian family could see that my Qian Hua is not a waste, but now it is ......" Qian Hua, who also went out with the car and marched in front of Li You, said with a wry smile, Li Gui This is the first time in his life that he has walked out of the capital, and he feels fresh when he goes there, and changes the marching plan from time to time, making it difficult for them to adapt to the generals who lead the army.
"If it was led by the British Gong, I'm afraid that it would have been a long time ago for Xuanda to engage in battle with Tang Kuo's department, right?" Wang Ji was also taken out of the capital by Li Gui this time, responsible for writing various poems for Li Gui in the imperial camp, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, he is not a scholar who only knows Zi Yue Shiyun, Langya Wang's collection has a large number of art of war classics, he has also received this education since he was a child, and naturally knows the disadvantages of changing military orders.
"Now the soldiers in the battalion have been tossed enough, and they have long lost the mind to make meritorious contributions, and now they just want to rush to Xuanda as soon as possible and finish this battle, as for whether they win or lose, they can't care so much." Now none of the outsiders in the tent are outsiders, so Li You doesn't have too many scruples, the generals and soldiers under his command are good in the entire forbidden army, even so, except for Zhou Bofu, everyone else has no fighting spirit, and the longer he leaves the capital, the less optimistic he is about the future of this war.
The soldiers were already exhausted by the march alone, so what would they do to fight the Tang Kuobu who was waiting for work at ease? What's even more terrifying is that Li Gui didn't notice this in the slightest, and still maintained his style of changing three times, Qiu Yuande and others all tactfully admonished but it didn't have the slightest effect, Shun Changbo Chen Yu may have been slightly offended between his words, and was also ordered by Li Gui to take away his position as a pioneer and sent to escort grain and grass, and the generals were silent and didn't dare to say it again.
"Now there is not much food in the camp, I thought that so much food would be enough for us to go to Xuanda, but now the food is almost exhausted before we are halfway through the road; I don't know when the grain and grass escorted by General Chen will be delivered, if there is no food in a few days, I am afraid that there will be a big mess. Qiu Shangjian, the third son of the British Gong, is now in charge of the painting of grain and grass in the army, and he broke another bad news.
"This time the army has moved all the warehouses around the capital, and this year's grain in the south has not yet reached the time of shipment, and there is no food available around, General Chen is afraid that it will not be easy to complete the task this time." Qian Hua's father, Qian Sa, was also on an errand to lift the canal, and he knew a lot about the grain reserves in Beijing.
For a while, everyone in the tent fell silent, Qiu Shangjian now regretted his father's support for the royal expedition, and Wang Ji also vaguely felt that the article on the palace exam seemed to be a stain on his life.
And Qian Hua quickly recalled in his mind that if Chen Yu returned empty-handed, he should get grain from there, fortunately, there are many granaries along the way for the army to use, from here to Xuanda along the way there are a total of Xinkai Fort, Zhangjiakou Fort, Xiyanghe Fort, Wanquan Right Guard Warehouse, Wanquan Left Guard Warehouse, Dukou Fort, Li Xintun Fort, each granary has at least 100,000 stone of grain, enough for the army.
"Fuck it, this march is slower than a turtle crawling, when will a certain family let this treasure knife see blood." Zhou Bofu held his enlarged Mo knife and scolded, he didn't think about so many things, he just felt that he was excited to go out of Beijing, it has been more than a month now, and he has not had a chance to fight, which makes him quite irritable.
"Now there are rumors in the army, saying that it was Wei Shiliang who slandered in front of His Majesty, so that His Majesty's order was changed overnight, causing the army to delay arriving at Xuanda." Wang Ji said, but he didn't believe it, he spent a lot of time with Li Gui along the way, knowing that every change was made by Li Gui, Wei Shiliang was now worried about the prospect of this battle, and he dared to slow down the speed of the march.
Everyone discussed together for a long time, but they didn't talk about any results, and now it is not very easy for the British Duke and others to speak in front of Li Gui, not to mention that these young people, after chatting for a while, they had to go back to the camp to rest.
The current situation is not good, not only Li Gui's problem, but also the rumors in the army, the problem of food, etc., make Li You faintly feel that there is a great conspiracy hidden behind this, but I am really not very good at conspiracy and trickery, Li You fell into deep distress.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, I'm not good at this, but someone is good at it. (To be continued.) )
