One or three hundred thousand elite soldiers lined up neatly outside the north gate. Chen Ao stood on the city gate tower, looking down on the whole army, his heart fluctuated, excited and nervous.

He had only seen a military parade on television, and this was the first time he had seen such a majestic procession in person. Thirty thousand people stood together, motionless and silent. Such silence contains a huge power, which makes people feel the murderous aura rushing to their faces.

This is the most elite forbidden army! Chen Ao sighed secretly in his heart.

"This is my most elite troops, and I will hand it over to you!" Zhao Heng held a wine glass, faced Chen Ao and Cao Yi, and said in a deep voice, "I hope you two will live up to your mission, start victorious, and play a momentum for our army!"

Chen Ao was dressed in silver armor, bowed his hand, and said loudly: "The last general obeys the order!"

He's pretty quick to get into the situation. In contrast, Cao Yi was a little absent-minded. Cao Yi's voice agreed, obviously a little helpless. Chen Ao turned his head to take a look, only to see Cao Yi's face was gray and his eyes were bloodshot. I'm afraid he didn't sleep all night last night, discussing with his subordinates how to deal with this war.

Zhao Heng toasted the two of them, and said some words of encouragement, and then waved goodbye to the two. Chen Ao strode forward first, turned over and stepped onto the white horse. This horse is Liang Xiaoya's mount, Kuaixue, and Liang Xiaoya handed it over to Chen Ao, hoping that the horse that she had raised by herself could bring Chen Ao back safely.

This horse was quite spiritual, and without waiting for Chen Ao's order, he took a step forward and walked towards the front army. Cao Yi followed behind a little dejectedly. Chen Ao doesn't care about him, anyway, Cao Yi doesn't agree with him, and now that he is a prisoner, he will definitely have to make trouble for himself. For such people, Chen Ao has always been respectful and far away.

When Chen Ao came to the front of the army, he immediately had an adjutant general step forward. This person's name is Lin Feng, and he is the deputy general of the 30,000-strong forward battalion and Chen Ao's deputy. Lin Feng is very young, but twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he is considered a disciple of the general. He joined the army at the age of thirteen, and he has more than ten years of military experience now, and he has a wealth of experience.

Lin Feng clasped his hands into fists and said loudly: "General Chen, the three armies are ready to go!"

Chen Ao nodded, still a little nervous in front of this young general. He said abruptly, "Let's go!"

Lin Feng turned around, waved his hand, and the army immediately marched in accordance with the pre-arranged sequence. The ban on military regulations is strict, and every 100 people are one capital, and there are chief and deputy heads. Every five is a battalion, every five battalions is an army, and every ten armies is a box. There were about 25,000 people. Chen Ao's forward general is also the commander of the Xiangdu. Another 5,000 people are responsible for escorting grain, grass and baggage, and should ensure that matters are met.

There are strict commands at all levels, and Chen Ao doesn't have to worry about any chaos. He rode his horse along the roadside, waiting for the five thousand cavalry of the front army to pass by. At the turn of spring and summer, the climate is dry. The horse's hooves were flying in the dust, and Chen Ao personally felt the sparkling car and the murderous aura of the horse.

Just as they were in a trance, Zhao Ling and Long Qingping had already rode their horses to follow. They were all dressed as men, wearing armor and helmets. It's just that the lips are red and the teeth are white, the skin is delicate, and it looks a little nondescript. Behind the two of them was a team of nearly 100 people led by Feng Hu.

These people were not regular soldiers, but the killers of the Ghost Hidden Society that Feng Hu had brought with them, plus some people in the martial arts. This is Chen Ao's pretending to be a public servant and a guard set up for himself. It's just that these people are used to being scattered, and it is difficult for them to unify their command, so they don't know how much combat effectiveness they can exert.

Chen Ao, Zhao Ling and others followed behind the front team and slowly walked forward. In ancient times, the march could not be too fast, especially in the Great Song Dynasty, when horses were lacking, and the whole army was dominated by foot soldiers, so the movement was even slower. But sitting on a horse for a day is also a very uncomfortable thing, especially for people like Chen Ao who don't often walk long distances, it is really a torment.

After walking for most of the day, I gradually lost sight of the tall city of Bianjing. In the end, even the passers-by and ordinary people could not be seen, and only the long winding dragon could be seen slowly advancing in the wilderness.

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, Cao Yi suddenly galloped forward and shouted, "Stop advancing!

Chen Ao thought to himself, what the hell is this kid doing?

Now that Long Qingping is by his side, Chen Ao is not afraid of Cao Yi at all. He glanced back and asked coldly, "Lord Cao, why did you stop the army from advancing?"

Cao Yi also sneered: "Chen Ao, didn't you see that it was getting late, now it's time to set up camp!"

Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, and said: "This day has not been a hundred miles away, so we have set up camp? It's still early! You can go one step further!"

Cao Yi didn't give an inch, and said loudly: "I said camp and camp!"

Chen Ao said angrily: "I am the main general, why do you give the order!"

"I'm a prison army!" Cao Yi sneered, "Chen Ao, you have studied history, you should know the characteristics of the Great Song Dynasty." Even if you're the main general, don't try to be arbitrary!"

Chen Ao is not angry, this Cao Yi is simply going to oppose himself everywhere. Didn't you just burn him a little poppy?

He was angry, but he also knew that a big reason why the Great Song Dynasty was relatively weak in history was that the army was controlled by civilian officials. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was crowned by the yellow robe, and he was afraid that the same thing would happen again, so he had to deprive the generals of their military power. Kou Zhun asked Cao Yi to serve as the supervisor, presumably with the same intention, and asked Cao Yi to check and balance Chen Ao.

Zhao Ling gently pulled Chen Ao's sleeve and persuaded in a low voice: "Forget it, let's set up camp." ”

Chen Ao glared at Cao Yi, and then ordered the herald to give the order. Cao Yi glanced at Zhao Ling, secretly surprised, and thought, she actually came!

Cao Yi already knew that Zhao Heng didn't have a dislike for Zhao Ling, but he didn't expect Zhao Ling to follow Chen Ao. He had heard of Zhao Ling's methods, and he couldn't help but be a little jealous. But after thinking about it, he is now a prisoner, what is there to be afraid of? Cao Yi said in a strange manner: "Chen Ao, you are not shallow, you even take your family with you when you march and fight. Humph......"

He snorted coldly a few times and led Elder Mo and his party towards the rear army. Chen Ao couldn't help but snort, very angry. At this time, Lin Feng, who had opened the way in front of him, came on a horse and asked Chen Ao why he was camping now. Chen Ao had no choice but to read the order of the overseer to him again. It can be seen that Lin Feng is also very dissatisfied after hearing this. Chen Ao immediately introduced Lin Feng as a confidant and scolded Cao Yi together.

Scolding and scolding, after all, we still have to camp. Chen Ao arranged the matter, and took Zhao Ling and Long Qingping to a small river not far away to wash their faces. Zhao Ling took advantage of the effort to wash his face and said: "Chen Ao, it is not a way for you and Cao Yi to go on like this! Originally, the commander and the army were mutually checked and balanced, but if this contradiction develops, it will inevitably cause instability in the army's morale. ”

Chen Ao said: "I have a class contradiction with him, and I can't reconcile it. ”

Zhao Ling still persuaded: "To say something unpleasant, the two of you are now grasshoppers on a rope, and if you want to complete this mission, you have to work together!"

Chen Ao shrugged his shoulders, got up and walked back, and said as he walked: "I want to help each other in the same boat, but I'm afraid he won't be able to swallow that breath! However, of course what my female Zhuge said is right, I will talk to Cao Yi!"
