On the fifth day, Li Er held a grand expedition ceremony in Chang'an, but only Gao Buer and Xu Shiji participated in the ceremony, Chai Shao had already led nearly 100,000 horses to set off early in the morning, there were 50,000 government soldiers and more than 50,000 auxiliary soldiers to transport materials, which was also Gao Buer made a sled, otherwise, 50,000 troops were outside, and the auxiliary soldiers who transported grain and straw for it were afraid that they would have to be 1440,000.

This time it was half a month's supply for the army, and the other supplies would be transported to the border city by another army in the future, and then the auxiliary troops accompanying the army would be transported back and forth to replenish the front line.

In order to participate in today's departure ceremony, Gao Buer deliberately changed into a dragon head covered light armor, and Xu Shiji did the same, but his head was a tiger.

After Li Er finished praying to the heavens, Gao Buer knelt down on one knee and took the generalissimo seal, holy decree, and military talisman handed over by Li Er, and shouted three times long live, then turned over on the horse, put down his cheeks, and came to the front of the five thousand armor soldiers and said loudly: "The Tang Army is mighty!" ”

All the troops shouted in unison: "The general is mighty!" ”

Gao Buer shouted again: "The Tang Army is mighty!" ”

All the armies said in unison: "Hurray! Banzai! Hooray! ”

After that, Gao Buer saluted Li Er again, and then rode away, thousands of cavalry behind him moved together, neat steps, the sound resounded through the world, Li Er's heart was excited, this is the invincible Tang Dynasty hero.

Soon Gao Buer caught up with the army led by Chai Shao, and ordered Chai Shao to personally lead the front army, Xu Shiji to lead the rear army, and Gao Buer personally led the Chinese army. The army left Chang'an, passed through Taiyuan, and went directly north into the Turks.

Gao Buer rode a war horse, and Zhang Zhongping followed closely beside him, he was Gao Buer's guard chief. Looking at the swaggering team, like a long snake moving fast in the white sky, Gao Fuji couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

I only heard him whisper: "How can you say that you have no clothes? With the son, the king is focused on the Xingshi, repairs my spear, and has the same enmity with the son! How can you say that you have no clothes? With the son, Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with the son! How can you say that you have no clothes? Dress with the son, Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and walk with the son! ”

Zhang Zhongping didn't know why Gao Buer suddenly sighed, but when he first arrived in the grassland, he sighed when he saw the snow flying in the sky, and said: "Lord Wang, you came north for the first time, probably never seen such a heavy snow, in fact, in winter, such a heavy snow grassland will fall a lot, but I don't know why the weather has been so cold in the past three years, when his subordinates were training in Gannan a few years ago, they had never seen such cold weather." ”

Gao Buer smiled and said, "Those years were really hard for Brother Ping. ”

"It's hard to talk about, it's because of those years that we now have cavalry that is almost on par with the Turks, otherwise even if we know that the Turks have suffered a disaster, I'm afraid we will be helpless. This is the advantage of the grassland peoples over the Central Plains, since the Qin and Han dynasties, all of them. ”

"You're right, before the tanks appeared, the cavalry was definitely the torrent of the steppe, invincible."

"I don't know what the tank is talking about?"

"It's an iron lump driven by a steam engine, just like a heavy armored cavalry, with heavy armor on the outside, but inside it is no longer the flesh and blood of a war horse, but a steam engine."

"The subordinates of the steam engine have also seen it in the academy, it is indeed magical, if it is really as the prince said, then my Datang will really be invincible in the world."

Gao Fuji nodded.

The army marched for seven or eight days and was about to enter the Turks, when the scout came to report: "Tell the generalissimo, the army is about to leave Helan Mountain, and the chief Chai said that the army will be stationed at the mountain pass tonight, and I am here to ask for my life!" ”

"Accurate!"

When the army set up camp, Chai Shao and Xu Shiji came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Gao Buer invited them to sit down and asked, "Is there any news of Li Jing now?" ”

Chai Shao said: "Fengzhou Express Malai reported, yesterday Li Jing led the men and horses back to Fengzhou to supply, and once again led the army into the grassland, and now I have not found the Turkic tooth tent, I don't know if Jieli has left the Evil Yang Ridge after the defeat of the southward before the month." ”

"Okay, tomorrow our army will enter the Turkic territory, do you have any news from Li Daozong and Xue Wanche?"

"Xue Wanche has entered the Turks from Lingzhou two days ago, and has now captured the moraine, and it is reported that Wei Room has also sent troops into the Turkic territory."

"Wei Room is also here to join in the fun? Can you find out what they want? ”

"Xue Wanche came to report, saying that the other party took the initiative to contact and wanted to find the Turks to avenge the past revenge."

Xu Shiji said: "Wei Mur, just a group of savages, has always been capricious, now it is said to be looking for revenge from the Turks, and the next second it may help the Turks to deal with us, Generalissimo, we must be on guard." ”

Gao Buer nodded and said: "Send an order to Xue Wanche, ask him to be more vigilant, tell him that our original plan remains unchanged, the target is Evil Yang Ridge, and also send a letter to Your Majesty, to let the three towns of Songmo, Raole, and Fanyang raise their vigilance, and once there is any change in the Wei room, we will immediately send troops to attack the Wei room." ”

The secretary of the army immediately drafted the official document.

Gao Buji continued: "Where is Li Daozong? ”

Chai Shao said: "The Taoist Sect has also left Angai Spring today and secretly marched towards Dingxiang, and it is expected to arrive within fifteen days." ”

"That's good, send scouts to contact Li Jing immediately tomorrow, and be vigilant when the army enters the Turkic territory, after all, the Turks still organized 200,000 troops to go south a month ago, I don't know if they are still together at this time, once we encounter the main Turkic force, we are afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

"There is no need to worry about the prince." Zhang Zhongping, who was standing on Gao Buer's side, said: "In winter, the Turks will be separated, 200,000 people will gather together for a few days without food, the main force of the Turks in winter will gather at most 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the other young people will return to their respective tribes, and this situation will continue until the beginning of spring next year." ”

Although Zhang Zhongping was the chief of the guard at this time, Chai Shao and Xu Shiji would not feel that he suddenly interjected abruptly, you must know that this former commander who was also holding hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he had been fighting with the Turks for ten years outside Ganliang Dao, and he had the most right to speak here.

Hearing this, Gao Buji nodded: "That's good, so that after contacting Li Jing tomorrow, tell him that once he discovers the main Turkic force, he can boldly attack and confuse Jieli." ”

Others found this a good move, and used small troops of cavalry to entangle the enemy and create time for the large army to encircle.

Several people discussed for a while and then faded away, Gao Buer took Zhang Zhongping to start patrolling the camp, this is what he saw on TV, at this time everyone was out together, in the dead of night, there were times when they were homesick, so Gao Buer came to a small condolence in the future, and it was easy to shorten the distance with the soldiers.

When he came back from patrolling the camp in the middle of the night, Gao Buer asked Zhang Zhongping to rest, and stood alone in front of the big tent of the Chinese army looking at the dark night sky and the snowflakes in the sky, and remembered the young faces of the soldiers in each battalion and the expressions of the soldiers who never left their bodies, and said angrily: "The chariot, the horse Xiaoxiao, the pedestrian bow and arrow are at the waist!" The grandmother's wife walked towards the send, and the dust did not see the Xianyang Bridge. Since ancient times, the Qin soldiers have endured hard battles, and they did not know how to return in order to repay the king's kindness. I hope that this battle will be settled between the north and the south, and the future generations will have no more suffering and cold! ”
