Chapter 1184: The Protective Color of the Armor
In fact, from Huo Quai's tone, Li Xiang already knew the combat effectiveness of these people, and if he got them to the battlefield, he would definitely not embarrass Datang.
But the war is not so simple, take the attack on Fusang as an example, although Li Xiang behaved very freely, but he had also made preparations for nearly half a year before.
The scale of this war is even more difficult than attacking Fusang, especially there are many small countries on the Zhenla side, these countries are very strong in nature, according to Li Xiang's understanding of them, if you want to expect them to surrender voluntarily, it is probably unlikely.
"Please rest assured, this gang under my command, brothers, as long as His Highness has pointed out the goal to us, no matter where the target is, we can fight for His Highness, and we will never drag mud and water."
Huo Quzhi saw that Li Xiang was pondering, and thought that he was worried about these enemies in the south In Huo Quzhi's eyes, these enemies are really not worth mentioning, when they turned into a team and entered Zhenla, whether it was the official army or the private army of a large family, they were almost not their opponents.
"It's good to have confidence, but war is not child's play after all, you still have to be prepared, I know that you don't need logistics to fight, you just need to rush forward vigorously, but we don't just take here, we also govern this place well, and turn this place into a foreign domain of the Tang Dynasty..."
After Li Xiang finished saying this, Huo Quzhi seemed to be a little incomprehensible, this guy's brain is a little simple, what he can't do is to fight, as for what happens after the war, that's what you civil officials should think about, anyway, I'm in charge of fighting, and I don't care about the rest.
As a general, Huo Quzhi can of course think like this, and Li Xiang also encourages them to think like this, the problem is simpler to do, but if Li Xiang also thinks like this, then some things may not be easy to do.
"You can take the rest of these people and return to Chang'an directly, let Huo Qubing temporarily act as my bodyguard, and lead another 3,000 people from his army."
Since there is no way to test the combat effectiveness of this army, Li Xiang is ready to take them with him to see, anyway, there is still a long way back to Chang'an, and there is always a chance to use soldiers on the way.
"Your Highness, this is a newcomer who forgets us old people, but we escorted His Highness from Chang'an to Fusang, and then from Fusang to this Lingnan Road, I didn't expect His Highness to send us back with a word."
Su Dingfang made a look like he was going to cry, but he didn't argue with Huo Quzhi about it, after all, Huo Qubing had been training here for two or three years, and he really needed a chance to show his face.
What's more, it has been nearly a year since Su Dingfang's people left Chang'an, and many of the children in the family don't know them, so they take this opportunity to rush back to Chang'an, which can be regarded as letting them meet with the people in the family.
And while His Royal Highness didn't have the time to return to Chang'an, these people could still take a big vacation at home.
The officers and soldiers on the naval warship can still take turns to fight, but the guards around Li Xiang have not been rotated, and they can only stay next to Li Xiang.
I didn't have a chance before, but now I finally found one.
"General Su is talking about this, Your Highness is preparing to test us along the way, there was no effective test just now, Your Highness's heart is already uncomfortable."
Huo Quzhi is also a smart person, so he naturally understands the reason why Li Xiang asked them to serve as guards, but his army is almost all-round, no matter what Li Xiang asks them to do, they can do it very well.
What's more, when he was recalled to Chang'an from the south, he also passed through many mountains and forests on the way, which was just right for his army to escort and let Su Dingfang's army rest a little.
"You kid just know, I have to look at the results in two or three years, and let your people prepare for General Su and them on the road first, try not to disturb the people, and go all the way back to Chang'an."
Although Li Xiang's army knew the rules very well, it was a long way from Lingnan to Chang'an, and he didn't know what would happen along the way.
When Huo Qubing was training locally, he also built several large warehouses, and all kinds of materials had Su Dingfang's people, which could be replenished here, anyway, Li Xiang stayed here, and he could exchange them in the system at any time, Su Dingfang also made his subordinates full, and they all arrived in Chang'an in one go, and he also wanted to go home to see it.
After the two armies changed their guards, they soon discovered that Su Dingfang's army had always been the armor of Emperor Ming, and they were the guards of His Royal Highness Taisun, so they were very conspicuous everywhere.
But Huo Quai's people are different, in order to be able to better fight in the jungle, the armor on their bodies is green, sometimes it is dark green, sometimes it is turquoise, anyway, it is to better hide themselves, which is also to prepare for actual combat.
When these people put on dark green armor, they were on duty at the door of Li Xiang's tent at night, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't see anyone here at all, indicating that they were closer to actual combat.
That night, Li Xiang held a banquet in Huo Quai's camp to entertain the accompanying officers and soldiers, and asked them to return to Chang'an first.
After learning the news, all the people jumped up with joy, although they were eager to make contributions, but most of them also wanted to see their wives and children, now they have been away from home for more than a year, and now they can have a chance to go home to see, that is also very happy.
Of course, they also understood that it was impossible for Li Xiang's guards to stay at home for too long, and after Li Xiang returned to Chang'an this time, I was afraid that they would be conscripted into the army again, and if they wanted to go back again, they would have to wait for Li Xiang to set foot on the southeast peninsula.
Huo Quzhi toasted Su Dingfang vigorously, that is also to know some precautions, the generals and soldiers in the system their first priority is to ensure Li Xiang's safety, even if it is to sacrifice his own life, then Li Xiang's safety must be guaranteed.
For Li Xiang, in fact, he is also a very powerful master, if someone really wants to assassinate, even if he enters the last encirclement, I am afraid it will be very difficult to get it, and Li Xiang himself will be able to solve several killers.
This meal was drunk until midnight, and Huo Quzhi was ready to start his career as a guard commander......
