Because Zhao Quanyou suggested that Zeng Hongshen use his own qi and blood to warm and nourish Di Xin's body, Di Xin no longer needs to pretend to be depleted of qi and blood. Apart from his face being a little pale, he is already on the surface.
No problem with ordinary people.
Three days later, Di Xin left Yanque Pass on the grounds of understanding the training results of the Flying Tiger Army.
Xizi, Zeng Hongshen, Laifu, Ouyang Xuan, Wei Sanhanwu... In addition to following these people from the General's Office, they were also accompanied by Tongzhi Luran, the commander of the capital who was at the peak of martial arts, and a team led by him.
Elite soldiers.
Nowadays, Emperor Xin's safety is the most concerned thing in Yanque Pass. When he learned that Emperor Xin was leaving the city, Commander An Junshan strongly opposed it. After his persuasion failed, he wanted to follow him personally to protect him, but due to busy military affairs
, so he sent out his own happiness.
That group of elite soldiers was Anjunshan's own personal guard.
On the carriage, Di Xin opened the side curtain of the window and said helplessly: "Tongzhi Lu, I'm just going to the Flying Tiger Army camp. It's not far from Yanque Pass. It doesn't need to be so grand, right?"
"Although the Turks have retreated, the defense at the border cannot be relaxed. As the commander of the capital, Mr. Lu, you should not waste your time on me."
Lu Ran gently pulled the reins to keep the horse under his crotch at the same speed as the carriage, and then said seriously: "Your Highness, your safety is the most important. And this is also Mr. An's order. Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for us.
It’s a subordinate’s.”
Di Xin:......
After putting down the side curtain, Di Xin rubbed his temples with a slight headache.
Xizi stood up and sat down on the same side as Di Xin. He took over Di Xin's movements and massaged him gently: "Failed?"
Di Xin nodded: "Yes."
This was the third time he tried to persuade Lu Ran not to follow him, but he refused each time with various excuses.
And this time it obviously failed.
It's not that he is uncomfortable with having too many people around him. When he was still King Zhou, the size of the honor guard around him was much larger than this one every time he traveled. However, the purpose of his trip this time was not just to inspect the military camp.
He lives to inspect military camps, and understanding the training situation of the Flying Tiger Army is just an excuse for him to travel.
Di Xin's real purpose of leaving Yanque Pass this time was to find an uninhabited place to break through to the Realm of Entrance, so as not to be discovered by those who were watching the General's Mansion.
However, with the addition of Lu Ran and the elite soldiers he brought, it would be difficult for Di Xin to find a reason to leave alone.
"Your Highness, we arrived at the military camp..."
Xizi wanted to continue to comfort him, but was directly interrupted by Di Xin: "Be careful what you say."
He raised his hand and pointed outside the carriage, indicating that the partition wall had ears.
Xizi understood and did not continue.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the Feihu Army barracks under the protection of a crowd of people.
General Yu Shao of the Flying Tiger Army, who had already received the news, knelt down on one knee after Di Xin got off the carriage: "I have seen your highness, Yu Shao, who is of humble rank."
"Get up, no need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After standing up, Yu Shao half-bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Flying Tiger Army has been assembled. Please review it."
Emperor Xin nodded: "Lead the way."
"Yes, Your Highness, please come with me."
…
About a month has passed since the Turks withdrew their troops.
Originally, with the current material reserves at the border, it was impossible to recruit too many soldiers within a month. However, in the last reward given by Emperor Xin, apart from the portion of food, grass and weapons given to the Turkic tribes, there was still one third left.
.
One-third is enough weapons to arm 20,000 people and enough food and supplies to supply 20,000 people for six months.
With this batch of supplies, the rate of expansion of the Flying Tiger Army has been greatly accelerated. Now, what limits the expansion of the Flying Tiger Army is the number of border residents.
But even so, the Flying Tiger Army still expanded its troops to 5,000 within a month, which was half of its original size.
And the rest are still being recruited continuously.
Putting aside the newly recruited two thousand soldiers, the original three thousand Flying Tiger Army cavalry, after another month of training, are no longer just the showpieces they used to be. After several attacks on the remaining bandits,
After they were cleared, they had developed real murderous intent.
The combat effectiveness of this cavalry has been basically formed.
This also means that the Flying Tiger Army has passed the most difficult period. With the leadership of veterans, it will be much easier for the new recruits to form combat capabilities. The more veterans, the faster this process will be.
At the last moment of testing the Flying Tiger Army, Yu Shao had a look of pride on his face: "Your Highness, since the Turks' two southern invasions were crushed, the people's trust in the army has increased. Now more and more people are coming to the recruitment office to apply.
The more there are, it is estimated that in another month and a half, the size of the Flying Tiger Army will reach 10,000."
"Then in another month, all the cavalry will be able to form the most basic combat strength."
Speaking of this, Yu Shao said eagerly: "As for the specific combat strength of the Flying Tiger Army, it will still need to go through a real war."
Emperor Xin nodded slightly and said half-comforting and half-encouraging: "Don't be anxious. When the training of the Flying Tiger Army takes shape, there will be plenty of battles for you to fight."
"yes."
Yu Shao suddenly raised his hand.
Although he knew that His Highness formed the Flying Tiger Army for the purpose of fighting a war, now that he heard His Highness King Yu personally promising that there would be a war to fight, he suddenly felt a little more excited.
…
After the review, Di Xin did not choose to leave directly, but stayed in the military camp temporarily because of physical fatigue.
Based on Di Xin's current disguised physical condition, although there is an innate great master who uses his own Qi and blood to warm him up, no one doubts the truth of this reason. On the contrary, some people think that His Majesty King Yu is too dedicated and his health has just improved.
I couldn’t wait to get busy.
Although the Flying Tiger Army's camp is a permanent camp, the camp is still dominated by tents, and most soldiers live in a tent in squad units.
It's not that Di Xin doesn't want these soldiers who train hard in peacetime and fight with their lives in war to live in built houses, but the efficiency and economic conditions of this era do not allow this to be done.
Most of the generals live in tents, and only a few live in houses made of bricks and stones.
Due to Di Xin's status and conditions, he naturally did not need to live in a tent, but he took the initiative to live in a tent at night.
His Royal Highness King Yu lived in a tent, but who else dared to live in a house made of bricks and stones? Therefore, all the generals, including Yu Shao, had to set up their own tents for the night.
