The "situation" is that this time the heavy troops assembled at the border gate have an extremely neat military appearance, although their origins are unknown.
Testing whether a modern army can fight is very simple, just let them run ten kilometers in their training uniforms and you will be able to see.
In ancient times, there was no need for such trouble, it could be seen directly.
The army must be in good order. First of all, the soldiers must be in good spirits. It is very simple. At the very least, these soldiers must not be hungry. This means that the opponent's logistics and food arrangements are quite complete.
But just because the soldiers are full of vigor and energy, they cannot be considered as good at fighting. An outstanding army must also have some other qualities... which are also the real key qualities, and are much more important than the former.
But still according to Li Jing's report, the opponent's military appearance... was extremely strict.
In fact, Li Jing did not directly say that the other party's army was full of energy and energy, but according to common sense, an army that can be called a strict army has excellent commanders, and there is a greater chance that there is a complete army behind it.
System, and excellent commanders and a complete war system will certainly not be short of food and grass. A simple example is that the food of our army was much better than that of our opponents at that time...
However, the most important sign is the military appearance, demeanor, temperament...whether he looks like a warrior.
Immature boys, boys who think they have become mature but are actually just becoming obscene, will be treated with the cruelest justice in a world of mass murder. Only men can really fight.
There is no doubt that Li Jing is very good at identifying whether the composition of an army is a man. And since even Li Jing's emergency call clearly stated that the other party was "strict"...
That means that the situation is really not good!
For Li Er, he spent half his life fighting various powerful warlords. Some of them raised their own troops and fought alone while others were attached to the Sui Dynasty.
Or, fight with the Mobei barbarians.
But whether they are warlords or barbarians, these military forces have a common characteristic, that is, they are fighting for what they need and the interests they want, and no army is for the world or the responsibility of the country.
Fight with responsibility.
This also means that these military forces, large and small, may be very strong, very strong, or extremely strong, but... such an army always has no internal flavor.
Then, it is not a strange thing to be crushed one by one by Li Er's army who has a bad taste.
but now……
Li Jing described it like this, and Li Er clearly felt that the strange army he encountered this time was of the "internal taste" type.
Such an army is not comparable to the toubob warlords who appear by chance, but can be compared to the barbarian tribes in Dacao Valley.
This is the real regular army!
Since it is such an opponent, the situation must be taken seriously.
Even Li Er knew that he had to be prepared.
Therefore, the deployment started quickly, but difficulties were encountered during the progress...
To be precise, we haven't started "progressing" yet, and we encountered difficulties at the temple calculation stage.
The reason is very simple, it is still the Pamir barrier!
It’s the Pamir barrier, it’s the Pamir barrier again, it’s always the Pamir barrier.
China has had countless ambitions and great achievements since ancient times. If you look at the text, you will find the word "天下" in it.
But people know...
If this barrier cannot be conquered, then... "the world" in the Chinese context will always be just a self-deceptive concept.
Without being able to travel in the true and complete "world"... no, within the scope of the world, everything in China can only be discounted sadly.
But now, the road has reached a crossroads. The next step is to finally fulfill the long-cherished wish of the heroes of all ages in China, or to be bluntly defeated by foreign enemies and never recover from the fall. Let’s see this game!
And from this day onwards...
What no one knows is.
In this world, except for the exotic princess who is thousands of miles away, and the King of Persia who is thousands of miles away, they live in anxiety all day long and cannot sleep at night. They are suddenly awakened all the time, for fear of receiving bad news tomorrow morning...
The Romans sent their troops south from the Balkans to put an end to the bad news in Persia. Besides...
There was another person who also had the same sleepless nights and restless sleep and food.
That's Li Er over there.
If in the past, Li Er had always believed that becoming the eldest brother of all people in the world was his life's mission, and the moment he achieved it...
If he has completed his mission, he can finally be compared with countless generations of ancestors and heroes.
So until this moment... Li Er finally recalled how he studied classics and history when he was young and was deeply shocked by the blood of the Qin and Han Dynasties and the heroic appearance of Wei Huo.
Yes... If you say your mission is the world, then at this moment... your real mission has just begun.
Because the real world has just come to me at this moment!
Facing a truly powerful foreign enemy, I can no longer be as confident as I was when I faced various warlords and tribes.
Because the opponent, because that strange army, is also at the same level as himself.
At this time, Li Er would occasionally wonder what the soldiers under his command would be thinking after hearing the news.
After experiencing the alchemy-style chaos of the late Sui Dynasty when righteousness and martial arts flourished, these brave warriors would probably be very happy... to be able to one day stop fighting their own people and actually make meritorious deeds for the country, right?
But Li Er also knew that the brothers could think this way, but he, the eldest brother who took the lead, could not.
Because I am the eldest brother, so I can't.
It's good that the brothers are full of passion and ambition, but you have to make careful plans... Isn't it because he is qualified to become the eldest brother of the world's heroes because he has taken the responsibility to eliminate risks and meet the conditions for the brothers' ambitions?
’s responsibilities?
Therefore, Li Er knew that the game with that distant foreign country called "Rome" would be an important part of all Tang Dynasty's future strategies, whether it was economic or military.
As for himself, he must make complete preparations for the passion of the soldiers.
That's why...
In fact, Li Er had the conditions to send troops to the north from the beginning!
The reason is very simple, Li Jing.
After the Turks were destroyed, he ordered Li Jing to lead troops to garrison the Anxi Protectorate. Several years had passed, and it was natural that the court had to provide material support to Li Jing. After all, guarding the border was not easy.
After this process, the Chinese army has to go from the core area to the Anxi Protectorate. Whether it is transporting food or going there by itself, and rotating with some troops there, the entire business, including the roads, is already relatively familiar.
