Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and nodded melancholy.
"Suddenly, it has been more than a year. Time flies so fast!
If I remember correctly, young master, it seems that you broke camp and set off for the expedition on August 18th last year, right?"
"Your Majesty, you remembered correctly. I set out for the expedition on August 18th."
After Liu Mingzhi pondered for a moment, he smiled lightly and gestured to Duan Dingbang, Ge Gonglu and other generals.
"Dingbang, Gonglu, please stop standing and take your seats first."
"I obey, thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Duan Dingbang, Ge Gonglu, Tang Ershan and the other generals took the lead and hugged Young Master Liu, then slowly sat on the chairs behind them.
When Cheng Kai, Feng Buer, Han Peng and others saw Duan Dingbang and others taking their seats one after another, they quickly winked at them and made silent gestures.
Duan Dingbang saw all the uncles winking and gesticulating at him. After a brief moment of confusion, he finally understood what was going on.
Immediately, he quickly turned to Ge Gonglu, and Zhuge Ziqing and others murmured quietly.
After a while, a large group of generals from the Second Route West Expedition Army also carried pots and poured a glass of wine.
Mr. Liu gently shook the jade fan in his hand and walked around for a while. Finally he stopped in front of the table, picked up a melon seed from the plate and threw it into his mouth.
"Dingbang."
"I'm here."
Young Master Liu spit out the melon seed shell on the tip of his tongue, chuckled and sat sideways on the armrest of the chair behind him.
"My young master, I brought a large family all the way west this time. First, I went to the Gumo King's Palace in the Western Regions for marriage arrangements.
Then, a group of us rushed to the royal city of Dashi Kingdom.
On this journey to the west, although our group did not rush very fast every day, after adjusting for each other, our overall speed along the way was still not slow.
After we left the capital and rushed to the royal palace of Gumo Kingdom in the Western Regions to visit our relatives, our group then rushed from Gumo Kingdom to the royal city of Dashi Kingdom.
This long journey took us about half a year.
Excluding the period of time that my young master and our group stayed at the Gumo King's Palace, the time will become even less.
We traveled lightly and simply, and it took us about half a year.
It can be seen that your marching speed this time is really not slow!"
"Reporting to your Majesty, it took me a total of seven months and twenty-six days for this Western Expedition from the time when we, the Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty, arrived at the royal city of the Kingdom of Dashi."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows in surprise and nodded cheerfully.
"Seven months and twenty-six days?"
"Your Majesty, that's right!"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and closed the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan in his hand, turned around and slowly sat on the chair behind him.
"One hundred thousand troops arrived at the royal city of Dashi Kingdom from Dalong in seven months and twenty-six days.
Soldiers are valuable and swift, indeed, soldiers are valuable and swift!"
Listening to Young Master Liu's sighing words, Duan Dingbang bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the reason why I was able to reach the royal city of Dashi Kingdom in more than seven months is mainly because of your sage, Your Majesty.
If it were not for the food and grass from the rear, as well as the food and grass from the countries in the Western Regions, they could be continuously supplied in a timely manner.
No matter how well I organize my troops, I will definitely not be able to rush from our dragon to the royal city of Dashi Kingdom within seven months.
In addition to the timely supply of food and grass, there is also the fact that Uncle Zhang Mo, the commander-in-chief of the Anxi Protectorate, dispatched a large number of cavalry to help the ministers and others on their way quickly.
I know very well in my heart that if it hadn't been for your Majesty's instruction, Uncle Zhang Mo would not have spared no effort to help me march on my way.
Of course, when I said this, I did not mean to say that there was anything wrong with Uncle Zhang Mo for not helping me and others.
It's because I know in my heart that Uncle Zhang Mo, as the commander-in-chief of the Anxi Protectorate, also shoulders various missions and responsibilities.
I will never have any dissatisfaction with Uncle Zhang Mo because of this!"
As Duan Dingbang spoke, he once again bowed respectfully to Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of this that I just said that the reason why I and others were able to rush to the royal city of Dashi Kingdom in such a short period of time.
Generally speaking, it is mainly because Your Majesty is wise and has paved the way for me and others."
