"Duan You has already sparse the bones of the beggar three times, and his physical condition is indeed no longer suitable, you must be careful of the defenses of Longxi and Longnan after you return to Chang'an."

"Yes!"

"Uncle Ling (Li Xun), this time you will also return to Chang'an together, on the one hand, to urge the wealthy families of Shandong to fulfill the promised money, silk, grain and grass, and on the other hand, to assist the Son of Heaven and Du Huangshang, Li Jifu, Pei Yan and others to complete all the funds for follow-up innovation, and ensure that Guo Rong's proposals such as agriculture, smelting, and shipbuilding will make progress."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Li Xun understands!"

"Also, Shidao, after your brother sets off, he must also collect as soon as possible, recruit boatmen, fishermen, sailors and other people who have been dealing with the sea all year round and bring them to Chang'an to determine the drawings needed for the sea boat!"

Since the death of the first emperor Dezong in the twenty-first year of Zhenyuan (the first year of Yongzhen), and the failure of the new emperor's "Yongzhen Innovation" and his forced abdication, the Tang Dynasty seems to have embarked on a completely different path from the previous fifty years.

In the first year of Yongzhen, the Emperor Taishang and the Son of Heaven first pacified the eunuchs and launched a rebellion, completely sweeping away the decaying and declining Guanlong nobles.

In the first year of Yuanhe, the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, beating Tubo, defeated Tubo's siege of Jiannandao, recovered Longxi, recovered Longnan, and directly broke the offensive of Datang and Tubo, and Datang was in an absolutely active position at this time.

In the second year of Yuanhe, the forbidden army led by Emperor Taishang marched eastward.

First, they reached a reconciliation and tacit understanding with the wealthy families in Shandong.

Subsequently, under the effect of the powerful new army, in less than two months, Huaixi, Pinglu and Pinglu were pacified, and March was not over, and the three towns of Weibo, Chengde, and Lulong surrendered.

Although Hebei was not completely cleared, at least on the surface, the situation of separating feudal towns was temporarily ended, and the Tang Dynasty was restored to unity.

In the eyes of many people, the current Datang is not the invincible Datang in their hearts, but they believe that the once invincible Datang is already on the way.

In March of the second year of Yuanhe, Emperor Taishang, who had arrived in Cangzhou under the escort of the forbidden army, issued an edict, and the Henghai Jiedu envoy was renamed the Hebei Jiedu envoy.

Dezhou, Dizhou, and Cangzhou, which were originally under the jurisdiction of Henghai Town, were jointly included in the jurisdiction of the Hebei Jiedu Envoy.

Li Yu, who had just become famous all over the world because of his entry into Yunzhou on a snowy night, became a new Hebei Festival envoy.

The remaining 8,000 auxiliary soldiers under the jurisdiction of the four forbidden armies of Changying, Tiance, Shenwei and Yulin who have received regular training have been left in the new Hebei Jiedu Embassy area, and Li Yu will use this army as the core to form a new Hebei army!

At the end of March, the Hebei Army under Li Yu completed its formation.

At the same time, in order to adapt to the situation of the grassland, the forbidden army replenished 3,000 war horses and 3,000 pack horses from the Yuanpinglu army, and supplemented some soldiers born in the north.

At the same time, the 5,000-square-meter Lu Army, which was equipped with a large number of pack horses, mules and other livestock, was supplemented as the logistics battalion of the army.

After completing the repairs and additions, the Emperor Taishang led the army to set out.

Although the reconnaissance battalions of the four armies suffered heavy losses in the process of raiding Yuncheng, Guo Rong still gave priority to replenishing the reconnaissance battalion, and a full 2,000 scouts continued to be active on the road where the army was about to advance.

The 30,000 forbidden troops of the standard formation have re-embarked on the road to the north.

On the first day of April, the brigade of the forbidden army left Cangzhou Jingcheng and officially entered the territory of Lulongyingzhou.

According to the request of the Emperor Li Chen, Guo Rong directly issued a crazy order to deter President Liu, who killed his father and brother, supported the army and was self-reliant.

Without any warning or prompt, the logistics battalion composed of the Pinglu Army was excluded, and with the mobility of 12,000 war horses and 10,000 pack horses, it began to gallop all the way.

The incomparably elite 30,000 forbidden troops, under the command of Guo Rong, specially selected villages, towns, county towns and other densely populated areas to advance according to the map redrawn by the scouts a long time ago.

At the beginning, in the face of the sudden army without warning, the people of Hebei were replaced by a group, after all, in this era, natural disasters may be terrible, but far less desperate than man-made disasters.

And for those who live in the Northlands, they are accustomed to rebellion and alien invasions

For the people of Hebei, the most man-made disaster is the military disaster, no matter who comes.

In their minds, a nightmare of their own is about to unfold.

However, the doom expected by the people of Hebei did not hit!

The feelings of the people of Hebei Province are the same as the reactions of all those who saw this forbidden army for the first time,

This is an army they have never seen, but it is different from the others.

These stubborn Tang troops did not break in, but patiently knocked on the doors of the peasants, and what they brought was not looting, raping and killing, but brand new Yuan and Tongbao one by one.

These Tang soldiers, who spoke with various accents, bought all their chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry from Hebei farmers at prices twice as high as the market price.

Occasionally, a few boldly asked where these tall and burly military masters came from and who they belonged to, but the answers they received were not uniform.

There is the Tiance Army, the Shenwei Army, the Yulin Army, and of course, there is another name, the Changying Army.

As more and more people came into contact with this team, gradually, the people of Hebei Province no longer hid or dodged, and began to go out of their homes to see this team up close.

Some people began to take the initiative to sell their own goods to these Tang soldiers, but these soldiers did not respond during the march.

However, the people of Hebei did not blame them, after all, many people had served as soldiers, and military discipline was a fart in some armies, but it was an iron law in other strong armies.

The soldiers did not violate military discipline, but their goods were not unmarketable, but they were just literati wearing chain mail, claiming to be quartermasters, haggling with them.

Although he didn't suffer a loss in the hands of these literati, compared with these generous military masters, these logistics officers who insulted Sven and got their eyes into the eyes of money are considered a fart?

Some naughty children even occasionally rushed directly into the neat queue, and under the frightened eyes of the children's parents and relatives, these tall and burly, seemingly brave soldiers, did not swing knives or fists, but only gently sent the naughty children out of the ranks.

Of course, there was also one that was directly grabbed by the tall and burly soldier, and then carried directly on his shoulder.

Sitting on the necks of these tall and kind forbidden soldiers, under the excitement, these naughty children began to howl wildly excitedly, and the parents of the naughty children were relieved, and they also completely let go of their vigilance against these Tang soldiers.

For this kind of reverence and affection, the forbidden soldiers have long been accustomed to it.
