Qinzhou is three hundred miles away from Chang'an City.
According to contemporary walking distance, it would take about six days to travel by land.
But because of special circumstances.
Just after leaving Qinzhou, Li Yu gave the order to everyone in Qianzi Camp to speed up their march.
They set out at dawn and rested when it got dark.
It only took three days to reach Wugong County, which is a hundred miles away from Chang'an City.
Wait until the evening of the fourth day.
The group is only sixty miles away from Chang'an City.
On the official road.
Li Yu raised his head and glanced at the sky.
There is no moon in the sky tonight, and even with a torch, I can only see clearly a few meters in front of me.
Rushing under such circumstances is not a wise choice.
after all.
This is the Tang Dynasty, not later generations.
There are not that many street lights, and there are not that many towns and villages.
Even during this period, wolves occasionally appeared in the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road.
The soldiers of Qianzi Camp are indeed warriors who have fought a hundred battles.
But wolves are much more ferocious than humans. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
These people were all close friends of Li Chengqian and also elite men of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if they have to die, they have to die on the battlefield, where they deserve to die.
But it would be too unfair to die from the blood of a wolf.
Li Yu couldn't explain to Li Chengqian either.
At the moment, they are not too far away from Chang'an City.
I'll be there in a long time tomorrow.
After much deliberation, Li Yu still issued an order for the entire army to camp where they were.
Wait until everyone has set up camp.
Li Yu waved his hand and called a soldier: "Go and call Han Shou over. I have something to tell him."
"yes."
The soldier nodded in agreement.
It didn't take long, and a strong man of about thirty years old left. Came over.
He is Han Shou, the captain who leads this hundred-man squad.
After saluting, Han Shou said straight to the point: "General, you came to me, but you have something to give me?"
Li Yu stretched out his hand and pointed around: "Although the view here is broad, we cannot take it lightly."
"In the evening, arrange for more brothers to keep vigil with repeating muskets."
"If anything happens, shoot as a warning immediately!"
With that said, Li Yu walked up to Han Shou and patted him on the shoulder.
"We have been hit by open and covert arrows along the way, but we can't let our guard down at this time."
Han Shou nodded: "Don't worry, General, I have already made arrangements."
Qianziying is a soldier trained by Li Chengqian based on the special forces of later generations.
Their combat skills, survivability and anti-reconnaissance capabilities have long exceeded the understanding of contemporary people.
Therefore, they know how to do some things without being reminded.
Hearing this, Li Yu nodded with satisfaction.
"very nice."
Li Yu sincerely praised: "You have the potential to be a general."
"The general is full of praise."
Han Shou bowed to Li Yu and said.
"This is not a compliment."
"I have watched your performance along the way."
Li Yu smiled and said: "If it were back then, when I was leading the army, I would definitely find ways to recruit you to my command."
He had watched Han Shou's performance along the way.
Not to mention being a captain, even being a general in charge is more than enough.
"The general carries love."
Han Shou was a little embarrassed by what he said.
"Actually, the abilities of my subordinates are not
A piece of cake."
"In the previous team, even an ordinary pawn's skills were not much worse than mine."
When Li Yu heard this, he just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
I just thought these were Han Shou's self-effacing words.
But let's be honest.
As a veteran who has walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
He really likes these soldiers in Qianzi Camp.
Strong fighting ability, rich survival skills, few words, and dare to fight hard.
Sometimes he couldn't help but think to himself.
If I could lead such a group of soldiers when I was galloping on the battlefield, what kind of scene would have been created on the battlefield at that time.
Even if there were no such soldiers and only one Han Shou, he would not be as tired as before...
But what he didn't know was.
Han Shou's words were not just self-effacing.
A lot of it is true.
When Li Chengqian first trained them, he didn't distinguish between official positions at all.
Not to mention the pawns, even Cheng Hualiang, the commander-in-chief of the Qianzi Camp at the time, had to practice with him.
Therefore, in the Qianzi Camp, unless the talent is too poor and the learner is too slow, the rest, whether the commander or the captain, is no different from the ordinary soldiers.
This is also one of the reasons why, after the reform of the military system, a single team from the Qianzi Battalion was able to fill the hole of vacant generals across the country.
…
evening.
Although the camp was illuminated by pots of bonfires.
But outside the camp, where the bonfire cannot be reflected, it is still difficult to see because there is no moon in the sky.
"Depending on the situation, nothing will happen tonight."
A soldier from Qianziying who was responsible for guarding the official road said slowly: "This is good, we can also relax and enjoy ourselves."
Ever since I graduated from the Wuhan Academy.
These people have always Running on the road.
No matter how strong your body is, you will still be unable to bear it.
"What's the point of leisure?"
A soldier next to him leaned on a big tree and said, "I came to Qianzi camp just to follow His Highness in the northern and southern expeditions."
"In the end, he was transferred to the Wuhan Academy to be a teacher within two battles."
"He even went to a place where there was no shit and trained as a soldier for half a year."
"I finally got back to His Highness, but I ended up escorting prisoners again."
The soldier raised his head and said, "I really don't know when I will be able to pick up the sword again and charge with His Highness."
"I bother."
"Is there something wrong with your mind?"
"Now that the world is at peace, it's okay if you don't know how to be content. You think about war all day long."
Another soldier laughed and scolded: "What's the good of fighting? Is it more comfortable than spending time with your wife and children at home?"
"That's true."
"So, I'm still a little homesick."
"I hope I can stay a few more days when I go back this time. At least I can have some fun with my wife."
The younger soldier smiled and said: "Otherwise, the relationship between husband and wife will be divided."
"It's good to be young, it's good to be young."
The older soldier smiled.
at this time.
He suddenly paused.
"Wait a minute, what do you think that is?"
The older soldier suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance and said, "Is someone coming?"
The young soldier glanced at him and saw that the official road was at the end.
There, shadowy lights reflected the light.
He frowned slightly and couldn't help but tighten his grip on the repeating musket in his hand.
not long time.
He let go of his hand again and chuckled: "Looking at their slow pace, they must be a caravan."
