Volume 3 The Beginning of Sorrow Chapter 104 The First Expedition of a Thousand Horsemen to the West

The flowers bloomed yesterday, but they withered away.

Duanwangfu quietly set up a downtown area, but it was as independent as a legacy. Few people in the world remember how the master of this place was once a genius, and no one has imagined it with the supreme throne. Emperor Yonghua has not been here for a long time, and his last visit was twenty-seven years ago. At that time, when he first ascended to the throne, everything was difficult to understand, and no one around him could be trusted, so he had to ask for advice from the retired Duan King.

"Master, it's here!" Ni Juzheng jumped off the horse and bowed down to report to the sedan chair.

Emperor Yonghua walked out of the sedan chair and stood still in front of the Duanwang Mansion, unable to recall the past, and his heartache was difficult to control. "Brother Duanwang is my compatriot's dear sibling, why have we been so embarrassed all these years?"

"Juzheng, go and call the door!" Emperor Yonghua sighed heavily and said softly to Ni Juzheng.

Ni Juzheng stepped forward and patted the door buckle as he said. The door quickly opened from the inside, and I saw Ni Juzheng whispering a few words to the government soldiers, and the government soldiers hurriedly ran inside.

Revisiting the old place, there is no more from the past. Twenty-seven years is like a snap of the fingers, like waking up from a dream. And the dream is gone, the young man's temples are white, and he sighs in vain?

"Your Majesty, my lord... He said he didn't want to... Meet the guests. The housekeeper of Duanwangfu came over, his feet trembled slightly, and he said tremblingly.

Emperor Yonghua looked inside, with a look of regret, and was about to leave, but he heard the housekeeper say urgently: "Your Majesty, the prince has a word to tell you." ”

"What are you talking about?" asked Emperor Yonghua, turning around.

The butler replied respectfully: "The prince only said six words, 'Mess with the enemy's head, capture the king of thieves'"

When Emperor Yonghua heard this, he suddenly laughed out loud, and said to himself: "Yes, that's how it should be!" turned around and walked away.

The sun is rising, the sun is shining on the earth, it is really a good weather that has not been seen in a long time. Good weather, good signs, good for travel.

In the inner courtyard of the Salt Transport Administration's Mansion, there is a picture of parting. Bailisi and Haitang stood under the corridor, watching Mei Siyuan and Mei Yuanchen go out, and their tears couldn't stop falling. "Madam, don't worry, the lord and the prince will go out for the people, and there will be the protection of the Emperor Zhenwu, this battle will definitely be a great victory, defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop, and return safely!"

Bailisi looked at Begonia's bloodshot eyes, smiled reluctantly, held her hands, and nodded slightly.

Yesterday, it was agreed with Guo Zimu that this morning, the Yanyun Administration could go to the garrison barracks to order troops. Sure enough, when Mei Siyuan's father and son arrived at the barracks at three o'clock, the cavalry had already lined up and stood up, ready to go, and counted the number of people, all of whom were 4,500 people. According to last night's calculation, the cavalry was divided into two teams, one team of 3,500 people, led by Mei Siyuan to Mianzhou, galloped to the aid of Xu Ding'an, accompanied by Yi Qilin and Zhan Cheng and other six Zhenwuguan Taoist priests; the other team of 1,000 people, led by Mei Yuanchen rushed to a village called 'Xiaoxiankou' in the territory of the Turkic State, accompanied by Zhantong, Zhanjue and other fifteen Zhenwuguan Taoist priests, at this time the rations of the Shatuo army were stored here.

Mei Yuanchen stood in front of the team and shouted: "I am Mei Yuanchen, the supervisor of Huazi in the capital, and I am now in charge of the golden order of His Royal Highness Prince Jaw to temporarily receive the position of a thousand husbands, and from this moment on, I will be the head of your thousand people!

"Wow~~~Wow~~~" There were voices of discussion among the thousands, obviously not convinced by Mei Yuanchen, a young boy.

"Where is the centurion?" asked Mei Yuanchen loudly.

"Yes... Yes!" there were several responses from the team, and ten people came out of the line lazily.

Mei Yuanchen looked at them, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he said coldly: "The first officer's order, the soldiers are noisy, is this how you lead the troops!"

"Mei Gongzi, this... Hehe, fighting a war is not a study, and the battlefield is not a prison supervisor, you are a child, and it is difficult to hold a knife, why bother to join in the fun?" a rough centurion sneered contemptuously.

Mei Yuanchen looked at him with a smile, then swept over the remaining nine people, and asked, "Do you think I'm a weak scholar who can't fight?"

All ten laughed and did not answer.

Suddenly, like a gust of wind blowing, the centurion who had spoken before was taken to a heavy fall.

"Poof!" the centurion spat out a mouthful of mud and blood, and looked around in horror, "who is it?"

There are more than 900 people in the team, except for the first few people in the team who saw that it seemed to be Mei Yuanchen who made a move, and the rest didn't know what happened, why the centurion was suddenly kicked away.

I only heard Mei Yuanchen say coldly: "Don't you think I'm a weak scholar? I'll pick ten of you by myself and beat you all over the ground to find your teeth, see if you accept it?"

These nine people, you look at me, I look at you, they look at each other, and then they attack together. However, it comes and goes quickly. "Bang! bang... Bang!" The sound of nine heavy objects falling to the ground sounded, and the nine centurions were all lying on the ground, all with shocked faces.

Mei Yuanchen had already expected last night that he was young and did not perform his duties in the army, that is, he had a golden order from his father-in-law, and the generals here would definitely not accept it. Today, without reservation, he knocked down these ten centurions with lightning speed, and established his prestige in front of this group of people. Looking at the stunned expressions of some people, the effect is good.

"Baifu!" Mei Yuanchen shouted loudly.

When the ten people heard this, they hurriedly sorted out their military appearance and stood in front of the team.

"Listen! There is no joke in the army, you will obey every word I say one by one, and if there is any violation, there will be no mercy!" Mei Yuanchen said. Duanfuzi Youyun, "Those who lead the troops will be ordered like a mountain." The commander orders carefully, and the executor executes the order decisively. Don't be suspicious, don't be confused!"

"Yes!" The ten people knew that the person in front of them was really a young master, and they didn't dare to disobey again, so they replied in a straight voice.

Mei Yuanchen's prestige was achieved, and he didn't want to pursue the crime of contempt of these ten people. looked at these ten people, nodded slowly, and shouted: "Baifu, report your name!"

"Liu Shanshui!"

"Gao Fa Cai!"

"Wu Shengnan!"

... ...

"Dong Dawei!" The last centurion also reported his name.

Mei Yuanchen looked at the ten people and asked, "Do you know why we're going?"

"I don't know!" all ten of them shook their heads in reply.

"Shatuo Guo has led troops to invade the territory, and has captured Tianmen City and Yanzhou, at this time, General Xu of the outpost is leading his troops to intercept them in Mianzhou!" Mei Yuanchen said in a lucky voice, so that all the four thousand five hundred people here could hear it.

Before he finished speaking, there was a faint cry from the team:

"Ah~~~ My home is in Tianmen City, my wife and children are still in the city... General, send troops quickly!"

"I'm from Luozikou outside Yanzhou City,!

“... ... Mother, you must be safe and sound! My son is going to be killed!"

... ...

The soldiers in the garrison barracks were all recruited from the people of their own county, and Mei Yuanchen had already checked the military registration last night, and among the 4,500 people here, 8,900 were from Tianmen City, Yanzhou, and Mianzhou. It was a deliberate voice to inform the Shatuo army that it had reached these three places, so that everyone would have the same hatred for the enemy.

Seeing this, Yi Qilin, Zhantong, Zhankong and others on the side couldn't help but be impressed, and they all thought: "In an instant, Mei Yuanchen has established military prestige and gathered military hearts, which is really the style of a general!"

"General, let's go to Mianzhou!" Gao Facai knelt on the ground and cried. He is a native of Mianzhou City, and hundreds of people in his clan are in Mianzhou City. Thinking that the Shatuo army was attacking Mianzhou at this moment, his heart hurt to the extreme, "Once the city of Mianzhou is breached, how can the family ensure that there is no mistake! Once the enemy slaughters the city, then my Gao Mazi will become a lonely person with no relatives..."

Mei Yuanchen took a deep breath and said, "We have few people, not enough to resist the enemy. This time, we have been ordered to burn the enemy's grain and grass, so that they will go back without food!"

After listening to Mei Yuanchen's words, everyone calmed down a little.

Mei Yuanchen walked out of the hundreds, found Mei Siyuan, and said: "Dad, let's set off early, there are Grandpa Yun and Uncle Gu who are staring at the military resources in the county administration, and there is nothing wrong." Mei Yuanchen led the troops for the first time, eager to try, and smiled at Mei Siyuan.

Mei Siyuan looked at Mei Yuanchen and instructed: "Chen'er, you are still young, and you should discuss with a few senior brothers in case of trouble! Once the grain and grass are burned, leave quickly and go to Mianzhou to meet us!"

"Yes. The child will understand!" replied Mei Yuanchen. After finishing speaking, he walked to the front of the thousand-person team of the department, jumped on his horse, and shouted: "Pull out the camp!"

At one moment, a thousand horsemen came out in unison, wrapped in dust and went west.
