Time is always like flowing water, the tighter you grasp, the faster you slip, the war ahead is tight, and Jiang Qi can't be allowed to stay longer, and the day of the expedition will soon come.

In the second year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty, in August Renshen, Jiang Qi said goodbye to his relatives in the worry of his mother early in the morning, and took a team of honor guards and Dian Wei to the summer gate behind the North Palace.

Perhaps knowing that the current situation in the world is serious, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, was afraid that Jiang Qi would not do his best, so he actually got up early to participate in the sacrifice of the flag.

Outside the summer gate, Jiang Qi took the lead in the generals, riding a tall black wind, wearing a pale yellow unicorn armor, plus a white robe, which looked majestic under the support of the morning light.

At this moment, behind it, the various departments are lined up on both sides with the school as a phalanx, and the cavalry is ten thousand, although Jiang Qi does not ask this team that has just been assembled to prohibit it, but the momentum of the phalanx is still a little, especially under the support of more than 4,000 cavalry, it seems that there is still such a thing.

Seeing that the hour was approaching, a gorgeous guard of honor appeared in front of the city tower, and the yellow gate opened the way in front of the entire guard of honor, and then the drums were beating loudly, and a royal chariot pulled by eight horses quietly arrived in the sound.

The carriage stopped, and soon the Son of Heaven in sacrificial clothes took a child, accompanied by hundreds of officials, from the horse road to the gatehouse, seeing this, Jiang Qi did not dare to delay and took the lead to get off the horse, and the generals followed.

Looking at the Son of Heaven surrounded by the gatehouse, Jiang Qi leaned over and said: "Jiang Qi, the general of the Weichen chariot cavalry, led the soldiers of the western expedition to meet our emperor, please give the order to go to the 、、、、、."

"Quasi-、、、 someone will give 、、、、wine," the Son of Heaven heard this, and looked at the Jin Ge Iron Horse under the city for a while, and then said in excitement.

"Give wine 、、、" the Son of Heaven ordered, and Zhang Rang, who had passed the decree, immediately spread the voice of the duck throughout the building.

With the fine wine that had been prepared under the order, the eunuchs who were serving quickly ran into front of the waiting generals in their busy work.

Seeing Jiang Qi take the wine bowl, the Son of Heaven encouraged him with high spirits: "Jinxi Liang Xiao'er didn't know that Wang En openly rebelled, and I sent troops to capture him, and I wish Aiqing a triumphant 、、、、 here."

"The disciple is also here to wish Taifu to ride on the horse and ride the horse, and trium、、、、ph as soon as possible," along with the words of the Son of Heaven, the naïve Liu Xie also shouted happily.

"Please rest assured that Your Majesty and the prince are here, and the minister swears here that he will not return the capital without retiring Hu Qi", as the leading general Jiang Qi is now the soul of the army, Jiang Qi said simply to the entrustment of the Son of Heaven, and drank the wine in the cup as he spoke, and then threw the porcelain bowl on the ground with a "snap".

"Don't retreat Hu Qi, swear not to return the capital" With Jiang Qi's movements, the generals below also echoed the same way, and their momentum soared into the sky.

"The three armies listen to the order, the sword points to Xiliang, and the 、、、 of departure" The sacrificial flag is basically completed, Jiang Qi turned his body and looked at the generals who were uneven, and ordered.

Da Xuan waved, stepped on the war horse Jiang Qi looked back at the Son of Heaven deeply, in fact, Jiang Qi at this time was still grateful to Liu Hong, it must be Liu Hong who promoted him from a nobody to a general of the three chariots within a year, no matter how dissatisfied Jiang Qi was in his heart, in the face of the grace of knowledge, he must win in this battle related to the life and death of the imperial court, even if the horse leather shroud will not regret it.

"Xie'er, I see, this is the first general of my Han Dynasty, if you use it well in the future, the achievements you have made will not be as good as Gaozu and Emperor Wu、、、" Liu Hong looked at the distant army and whispered.

"Father、、、" Listening to his father's words, Liu Xie, who was still naïve, was a little puzzled and looked at his father's haggard body in front of him.

"If only I were ten years younger," Liu Hong didn't explain his son's question, but just straightened up and laughed at himself.

It's just that when Liu Hong lamented the years, he seemed to forget that he was only in his early thirties, and it was still too late if he worked hard.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

The army sent a letter to Guguan, marched all the way through Hongnong County, arrived at the Tongguan of Chang'an in only three days, once passed the Tongguan is the boundary of Chang'an, after the Tongguan, Jiang Qi seemed to see the scene of the tiger prison at the beginning, although there was no hunger everywhere outside the Tongguan, but with the rebels pressing the border, the fleeing people almost blocked the road outside the pass.

Seeing this, Jiang Qi couldn't help but sigh, maybe he thought too easily.

Changcun Bridge, originally Baqiao, because of Wang Mang's period, Wang Mang was too angry and got the name, this bridge is located in the west of Chang'an, is the only way for Luoyang to enter Chang'an, and it is also the place where Chang'an friends ushered in.

Today's Changcun Bridge has long been blocked by the official army, at the head of the bridge with the rising sun, there have been dozens of officials waiting here, in these waiting crowds, an old man with gray temples leaning on the car and the forefront, although the old man seems to have passed the age of confusion, but from the fortitude between the eyebrows, he is the time of ambition.

This person is none other than the Son of Heaven Liu Hong who has just promoted Jing Zhaoyin, the captain of the school Gai Xun, speaking of Gai Xun that is a famous celebrity in Xiliang, although he is a literati, but he has repeatedly made military exploits in office, last year in the face of the Qiang rebellion, he tried his best to carry the Qiang people and Ayang County, and later scolded the retreat of Bian Zhang and Han Sui when Ji County was in crisis.

Because of this performance, Gai Xun got the attention of the Son of Heaven, coupled with his previous uprightness, the Son of Heaven couldn't help but sigh 'hate to see the king's night', and then in addition to Jing Zhaoyin, when the Mipu chaos broke out again, Huangfu Song arrived in Luoyang and recommended him to take the position of lieutenant, with his guard Chang'an City, and today Gai Xun with civil and military forces here, all in order to welcome the new general Jiang Boxiao.

When the sky was getting farther away, Jiang Qi's army of more than 10,000 people was late, and when he saw that the officials of Chang'an came to greet him, Jiang Qi did not hold it up, and hurriedly dismounted to express his gratitude.

"Xiaguan Jing Zhaoyin, Captain Gai Yuangu and Chang'an officials, meet the general of the chariot cavalry" When he saw the mighty general in golden armor coming quickly under the protection of the guards, even if Gai Xun didn't see his official position clearly, he didn't dare to slack off and quickly led his subordinate officials to bow down and bow.

"Get up quickly, but in the face of the Hu people's sores and still fight to the death," Jiang Qi said happily when he heard his name, he had heard of Jing Zhaoyin's personality long before he came, and he was actually a weak man in front of him.

"Don't dare, everyone in the world knows that the warriors of the world should push the Qilin general, how dare the lower officials take credit" I didn't want to hear that Jiang Qi actually knew him, Gai Xun replied without humility or arrogance after a smile.

"Hahaha、、、 it is not too much for my generation of martial artists to go into battle to kill the enemy, how dare I speak bravely, but it is Gai Jingzhao's fist to serve the country is worthy of my generation's good students to learn、、、、 I heard Your Majesty say a few days ago, because of the famine in the Xiliang War, Gai Jingzhao took the lead in taking out the food stored at home, relieving the people, and surviving more than 1,000 people, which can be regarded as a model for hundreds of officials" Seeing that he was calm, Jiang Qi rose up to make friends, and then said.

"I'm ashamed, compared to the general who lived tens of millions of people for the peace of the country, the weak strength of the lower officials is very embarrassing, and the people of Xiliang are looking forward to the general coming to fight, and the next official is here to thank the general for his life" Although I haven't seen Jiang Qi before, Gai Xun has heard a lot of things about him, but now I see Jiang Qi's politeness, and there is no rebelliousness and arrogance in his past.

"Be polite, the people gave the court a blessing, the court raised the Han army, today's thieves are in the realm, when it is my generation to deal with it, how dare I say thank you" For Gai Xun's gift, Jiang Qi supported him slightly and said solemnly.

"If the officials in the DPRK and China are all like generals, why worry about my big man not being happy, the general is a young hero, my big man is hopeful" Jiang Qi's unpretentious conversation was full of emotion, Gai Xun was full of emotion, and then looked at his young face and said.

"Gai Jingzhao is really serious, Qi is just doing his duty、、、、 well, now that the war is tense, Qi does not dare to delay, all the way to see a lot of people fleeing, Gai Jingzhao can tell Qi about the recent situation" Seeing that the greetings are almost over, Jiang Qi returned to the main topic.

"Okay, general, let's talk as we go, now Chang'an thinks that the general is ready to have enough food and grass, and the general has no worries," Gai Xun is not a person who drags mud, and when he heard Jiang Qi's words, he hurriedly greeted.

"It seems that General Huangfu recommended Jingzhao to garrison Chang'an and supervise the grain and grass that day, which is really prescient" Jiang Qi was a little surprised by Gai Xun's guarantee, after all, the three armies did not move the grain and grass first, and with sufficient logistics support, he had the conditions for victory, of course, Jiang Qi did not doubt Gai Xun's words, after all, the person who could be recommended by Huangfu Song must be concerned about the safety of the imperial court.

"It's a pity that General Huangfu fought for the country, but he ended up being dismissed from office" Hearing Jiang Qi mention Huangfu Song, Gai Xun sighed sadly.

"The traitor is in charge, but General Huangfu is wronged, and Qi in Luoyang also wants to intercede for him, but the general said that now the national disaster should focus on the overall situation, and Qi also asked to see General Huangfu when he went out, but the general was afraid that it would affect Qi Shirk, and he wanted to use General Huangfu's ability to be temporarily dormant, and it was a matter of time before the court was reactivated, and now it may not be bad to avoid it" Jiang Qi also said with empathy.

"In the past, Xia Guan often heard General Huangfu mention the prince, and the general said that if it weren't for the prince and the prince fighting against the Xihe aliens, the Sanpu Rebellion might not be as it is now, but fortunately, I finally looked forward to the prince today" Listening to Jiang Qi's talk about the feelings of his colleagues, it made Gai Xun admire, if it wasn't for the current critical situation, he would like to get acquainted with Jiang Qi.

"How can Qi He De, how can he be the Huangfu General Miao Zhan. Hey, okay, how is Gai Jingzhao doing with the rebels now、、、" Jiang Qi laughed at Gai Xun's praise, and then returned to the topic.

In March, Han Sui and others led tens of thousands of cavalry under the banner of killing eunuchs into Kou Sanfu, and the rebels fought with the left cavalry general Huangfu Yizhen for several months, each with a victory or defeat, and the strength of the people in the back chapter and Han Sui with the people of the Quartet increased greatly, and now the number of 100,000 people is ready to go. Now our army is controlled by Dong Poyu, together with the soldiers of the counties, and there are more than 100,000 foot cavalry, and the whole army is stationed on the right side of the wind and Meiyang, and the front line of martial arts, but a few days ago, Dong Poyu even issued an urgent document, as if the rebels were assembled、、、、 "Gai Xun did not dare to delay military affairs, and quickly said what he knew.

"Dong Zhongying Wenqi has received it, it seems that Han Sui and others are going to make a big fuss about changing generals by our department" Although I heard that my own troops were almost the same as the enemy army, Jiang Qi was still very worried when he thought of the possible showdown.

"The marching army is not as good as the prince, but I heard that there are many deserters in the Han army in Meiyang these days, and I have captured more than ten people in Chang'an in a few days," Gai Xun reminded.

"It seems that time is not waiting for me, I wanted to rectify the troops and horses in Chang'an, and now the army must also set off overnight, how far is Gai Jingzhao to the next city、、、" Hearing his deserter, Jiang Qi's heart was even more anxious, and he could not be without generals in the army for a day, how could Jiang Qi dare to slack off in the face of a possible war, and then said.

"Out of Chang'an, eighty miles is Huaili, if you hurry up, the army can reach Meiyang in two days," Gai Xun replied.

"It's two days late、、、 so our army won't rest anymore, and Xi Zhicai 、、、、," Jiang Qi said decisively, considering all these things.

"The subordinates are in the 、、、," Xi Zhi, who had been following not far from Jiang Qi's order, hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"The army will travel lightly immediately, you stay and hand over the grain and grass to Gai Jingzhao, and let the Zilong Department who is responsible for escorting the grain and grass take it away when the time comes," Jiang Qi looked at the Yun Cavalry Guard, who was still half a day away from arriving in the direction of Luoyang, and ordered.

"The subordinates know 、、、" Xi Zhicai also guessed Jiang Qi's consideration, and hurriedly took the order.

"Dian Wei sent the order, the three armies discarded the superfluous things, and advanced at full speed、、、" After explaining the grain and grass matters, Jiang Qi did not dare to delay and ordered.

"The general's military affairs, the subordinate does not dare to delay, and then I wish the general a victory、、、" Although Jiang Qi came and went in a hurry, Gai Xun was not unwilling because he lost the opportunity to make friends, but immediately sent him off.

"If Ruqi can come back alive, he will stop in Chang'an and drink celebration wine with Jingzhao" Hearing Gai Xun's words of send-off, Jiang Qi was very rewarding, after all, he has met a lot of people who tend to be inflammatory.

"Nagaixun is set to sweep the couch in Chang'an and wait for the general's triumphant 、、、、、、"
