The next day, the heavy snow had stopped, and Liu Yi rushed to the camp of the Left Guard Army in the east of Chang'an City early in the morning with a group of personal guards, ready to receive the thousands of men and horses urgently summoned by him as the vanguard of the expedition.

Although it snowed heavily for a day yesterday, there was not much snow piled up on the field of the Left Guard Military Academy at this time, and most of the snow was cleared by the sergeants.

On the school field of the Left Guard Army's large camp, which looked a little abrupt against the background of the surrounding snow, nearly 1,000 sergeants who had been summoned in the past few days were on standby in the cold wind under the leadership of their respective officers, and the officers of the military department who were in charge of dispatching the sergeants were waiting on the side with the roster of the sergeants, accompanied by Gao Zhenxing, the general of the Left Guard.

Liu Yi took the guards and galloped to the front of the queue.

Because Liu Yi had to go to Pei Xingjian's place to ask for instructions on the action arrangements of these people before leaving the city, he was a little late to go out of the city, and the military camp of the Left Guard Army was outside the city, so it would take a certain amount of time to come and go, and the officials of the Ministry of War and Gao Zhenxing and others were waiting.

Liu Yi took the lead in dismounting, walked in a few big steps to the military officials and Gao Zhenxing who were standing in front of the queue, saluted, and apologized for his belatedness.

Gao Zhenxing and the soldier Lang Zhong also knew that the generals who were going to go on the expedition were busy, and they didn't say anything about Liu Yi's belation.

"General Liu, this is the roster of the sergeants of the forward army," the official of the military department returned the salute and handed a roster to Liu Yi, "According to General Pei's order, a total of 1,080 sergeants will be recruited, and the list will be sorted out, please sign for it!"

Liu Yi also immediately signed the acceptance list, and the military officials were completely on duty, that is, to leave.

"Virtuous nephew," Gao Zhenxing smiled and walked in front of Liu Yi, "The sergeants you led before have all been incorporated into the army, and before the expedition, the officers and men of the forward army will be trained in the left guard army and on standby, if there is anything, just come to me!"

"Thank you, General Gao!" Liu Yi saluted respectfully again.

Gao Zhen returned the salute and said, "Virtuous nephew, this expedition, I hope you can come back with great achievements and earn money for our Left Guard!"

One of the vanguard troops led by Liu Yi was recruited from the Left Guard Army, and they were all good fighters, and it was most natural for Gao Zhenxing to say this.

"The last general will definitely not disappoint General Gao!" Liu Yi stepped forward.

"These sergeants will be called to you, these will be in the barracks, and they can come to me at any time!" Gao Zhenxing patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and left with a smile.

Liu Yi handed the roster to Liu Ben, the captain of the personal guard beside him, and turned to face the thousands of soldiers lined up neatly.

Liu Yi's eyes swept over the faces of the sergeants at the front of the queue one by one, and he was pleasantly surprised to find several familiar faces at the front of the queue, standing at the front of the queue were Huan Yanfan and Jinghui, who participated in the martial arts competition with him and formed friendships, and the two officers in the military uniforms of the captain were looking at Liu Yi with a nervous face.

Liu Yi looked at the two generals, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, and it was gone, he regained his serious face and cleared his throat, "Brothers, today we will gather first, concentrate on training, and stand by to go on the expedition..."

Liu Yi lowered his voice and carried out a pre-war mobilization, asking these soldiers who were called in and on standby to go out to train as soon as possible, and strive to shed less blood and make more meritorious contributions after the expedition.

Liu Yi also arranged the subjects of training and the requirements for training, and then Liu Yi ordered the officers above the team to lead their respective soldiers to start training.

The training of the pre-war assault is mainly the immediate rush and killing, as well as the cooperation between each other.

These sergeants were recruited from the standing army of the warlike Left and Right Guards, and they were all of good quality. The armies of other ministries have also been in place or are in the process of being put in place, and the various units that have been assembled are also conducting pre-war assault coordination training under the leadership of their respective commanders.

When the commanders led the team for training, Liu Yi also looked through the roster given by the officials of the Ministry of War.

All the officers above the team have a single reading book, Liu Yi also took a general look at the names of the dozens of major officers he led, just when he was in the queue, because the soldiers were wearing winter clothes, most of their faces were covered, and they couldn't see clearly, Liu Yi didn't know if there were any other people he knew.

It was not surprising to Liu Yi at all, included in his own army, as well as the regiment of sergeants he brought when he had been in the Left Guard, the main officers were all original, Wang Zhou, Wang Sui were impressively listed, of course, Huan Yanfan, Jinghui and others from the Right Guard Army were also listed at the top of the list, they obeyed Liu Yi's command as a captain, and Liu Yi's subordinates could directly command the captain when he went out this time, and there was no configuration of the post of Lang General-

Several groups of cavalry formations composed of hundreds of sergeants galloped back and forth on the left guard training ground, and the soldiers wielded Tang swords in their hands and followed behind the officers to conduct charging and killing training.

To the vast grassland of Anbei, can only play a role in the cavalry, the infantry is basically useless, the Hu people are marching immediately, to use their legs to pursue them is obviously unrealistic, the army of this expedition is also mostly cavalry, and then is the cavalry, that is, the infantry on horseback, dismounted when encountering the enemy. But the ones led by Liu Yi are all cavalry, and they are all the most fierce cavalry soldiers.

In the training on the field, these soldiers also showed their bravery, and the formation of the line of rushing and killing was fast and imposing, and then according to Liu Yi's several formations, the other soldiers of the Left Guard who watched the battle were very surprised.

Gao Zhenxing, the general of the Left Guard, did not have the task of going to the army, but Zhang Qianxuan, the general of the Left Guard, was asked to enter the army by Pei Xingjian and followed the expedition together, and Liu Yi did not see his former boss after he arrived in the barracks.

Liu Yi has eaten and lived in the barracks, and he hopes that through this short period of contact, he can clearly understand the general situation in the army he leads, including the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and the abilities of each commander, so that he can be sure when he is ready to fight.

The weather was cold, Liu Yi was also training with other soldiers, and the more than 30 personal guards selected by him also trained with him, these many personal guards, after they went to the battlefield, the main and only task was to protect Liu Yi's safety, this is Liu Yi's personal guard, not incorporated into the military, Liu Yi is their master.

Between trainings, Liu Yi asked Huan Yanfan and Jinghui to call him to his side.

"Brother Shi Ze, Brother Zhong Ye, I really didn't expect that we could go out together this time!" Liu Yi stepped forward and slapped Huan Yanfan and Jinghui's faces hard, since coming to Datang, he has not made many friends, I feel that these two warriors who have formed a friendship because of martial arts in the martial arts competition are people worth befriending.

Huan Yanfan and Jinghui felt warm in their hearts in the face of Liu Yi, the Shangguan, who said so affectionately, but they didn't dare to be rude, Huan Yanfan bowed respectfully, "General Liu!" On this expedition, I hope that the general can lead us to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions and deter the rebels!"

When Huan Yanfan and Jinghui were in the army, they also heard several times that after Liu Yi entered the palace on duty, he performed extraordinarily in martial arts and polo competitions, and admired Liu Yi's bravery, and Liu Yi was quickly promoted because of these achievements, and he was also very envious. They also hoped that they could fight with a brave warrior like Liu Yi when they set out on the expedition.

I don't know if it was their luck or someone specially arranged it, the edict to go out had not yet been issued, and they and the sergeants they led were recruited and placed under the vanguard army led by Liu Yi, which surprised and surprised them.

"Brother Shi Ze, Brother Zhong Ye, this battle is the first battle of several of us, we must fight a few beautiful battles, so that our military exploits make the Turks frightened, and also let the generals in the army and the important ministers in the court marvel, the warriors selected in the martial arts competition are not mortals!" Liu Yi smiled and said: "We must not make a hit, just make a splash!"

"I believe that General Liu will lead us to meritorious service!" In front of Liu Yi, Jinghui didn't dare to be casual, but Liu Yi's words were still very tempting, who didn't want to have military merits, and the army that went out on the previous expedition was defeated, if the army on this expedition could defeat the Turks and make great contributions in the course of the war, the weight of this military merit would obviously be different, and the rewards would definitely be richer.

"It will be, and we have to perform better than the winners of this year's martial arts," Liu Yi smiled and said, several winners of this year's martial arts competition were also selected to join the army and follow the army, but they were not in Liu Yi's army, Liu Yi of course hoped that his few people could perform better than this year's few people.

"General, that's for sure!" Huan Yanfan and Jinghui straightened up and shouted, "We are the best!"

Liu Yi asked Huan Yanfan and Jinghui to go to lead the army training again, and he called Wang Zhou and Wang Sui over again and gave an order-

On the eighth day of December in the first year of Tiaolu, the imperial court issued an edict to remove Xiao Siye, the former head of the Dingxiang Road March, from his post and exile to Guizhou, and Hua Dazhi, Li Jingjia and others were also dismissed. The Dingxiangdao marching department was reorganized, with Pei Xingjian, the general of the right guard of the Ministry of Rites and the right guard of the inspection school, as the general of the Dingxiangdao march, with 180,000 soldiers, starting from Chang'an, going to Anbei to quell the rebellion of the Turks.

In the edict, Li Wenjun, the governor of Youzhou, was appointed as the deputy chief of the march of Dingxiangdao and the head of the march of Sangqian Road, the deputy governor of Zhou Daowuxing, the governor of Yingzhou, and the head of the march of Dingxiangdao, Cao Huaishun, the general of the left Jinwuwei, was the head of the march of Yunzhong Road, the general of the right Wuwei Cui Xiantun was the head of the march of Yanran Road, and the governor of Fengzhou, Cheng Wuting, was the head of the march of Shan Yudao, and the total number of troops raised more than 300,000 troops to crusade against the Turks.

At the same time, Pei Xingjian is the commander-in-chief of Anbei military and political affairs, and supervises the army...
