The Forbidden Army is divided into the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya and the Fourth Army of Beiya.
The four armies of Bei Ya were standing armies and were stationed in the forbidden garden to the north of the imperial city to defend the imperial city. Among them, the Yulin army was the strongest. Qin Huaidao and his three men came to the gate of the forbidden garden and stopped to make a report. They watched the murderous atmosphere rising in the camp.
, the training shouts of killing and the hunting of flags can't help but make the blood boil.
It is worthy of being called the Fourth Army of Beiya, the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Tang Dynasty, and the strongest military army. In terms of equipment, combat effectiveness and morale, it is much stronger than the government army, guard army and frontier army.
Not long after, Wei Chigong, the commander-in-chief of the Beiya imperial army and the general of the auxiliary state, rushed over with his men and horses, cupped his fists and saluted: "I have seen the general of the Hussars."
The hierarchy in the army is very strict, and the general of the Hussars is one level higher than the general of the auxiliary country. Yuchi Gong did not rely on his old age to show off his old age. Instead, he saluted sincerely, full of joy, as if he saw that his child had grown up, and he was sincerely proud.
Qin Huaidao quickly returned the courtesy, held the courtesy of a junior, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yuchi has embarrassed this junior."
"Hahaha, etiquette cannot be discarded." Yu Chigong smiled with satisfaction, emphasizing affection and righteousness, and he appreciated Qin Huaidao more and more. He looked at Li Yixie and Fang Yiai, and said with a smile: "My nephew, this trip is of great significance, you can be sure
?”
"The number is five to five." Qin Huaidao said truthfully.
"That's not bad, a 50% certainty is enough. There is no guarantee of victory on the battlefield. Your kid grew up too fast, but he was born with one knife and one gun. No one can find fault, but you must know it yourself.
"
Qin Huaidao understood these words sincerely: "Don't worry, Xie Shibo reminded me."
"It's good to know. The troops and horses are ready. You two go in and get familiar with each other." Yuchi Gong looked at Fang Yiai and Li Yixie. The two of them quickly agreed. Someone stepped forward to signal and led the two of them into the camp.
Qin Huaidao knew that Yuchi Gong had something to say to him, so he took a few steps forward. Yuchi Gong waved his hand to signal the others to go back. He also took a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "My dear nephew, I am not jealous of you. General Hussar, in the army."
It may not be a good thing for the first person to have great achievements and shock the master."
"Understood, how are you preparing the food, grass, and crossbow arrows?" Qin Huaidao asked the topic he was most concerned about.
"The troops will go ahead and get food along the way. I have told my boy not to worry. According to the Holy Will, each person will be equipped with fifty crossbows and twenty thousand soldiers and horses."
Qin Huaidao frowned and said in a low voice: "Fifty is too few. Each person should prepare a hundred, each with two horses."
"This..." Yuchi Gong was a little embarrassed, and he was resisting the order by adding more words rashly.
Of course Qin Huaidao understood the difficulty and said in a low voice: "Shibo, it's impossible that the Holy One didn't know that fifty is too few. Perhaps he did it deliberately and asked me to take the initiative to ask for it. In this way, there will be clues."
"What do you mean?" Yuchi was straightforward and could not understand the twists and turns.
Qin Huaidao explained in a low voice: "Shibo, you are equipped with the standard equipment of one hundred crossbows per person, two horses for one person, swords, and shields. After the junior leaves with the army, you go to see the saint, and say that the junior is asking for it forcefully, and make an agreement.
Military order: if you win, your merits and demerits will be equal; if you lose, you will be punished by the Holy Spirit."
"Hiss... what are you doing... why bother?" Yu Chigong realized that this was self-destruction. He not only wanted the equipment, but also gave the Holy Emperor a handle. He won't need a reward after winning the battle, so as to avoid shocking the master with his great achievements. It can be said that he had good intentions.
.
Qin Huaidao smiled bitterly. Li Er deliberately only gave fifty crossbow arrows without asking for advice in advance. He was obviously waiting here. He typically wanted the horse to run but didn't give the horse any grass. If he wasn't fighting against foreigners, he didn't want to get involved at all.
.
Yuchi Gong looked at Qin Huai with some sympathy and said, "Okay, I will risk my life to help you this time."
"Thank you, uncle." Qin Huaidao gave a grateful salute. He did not respect the imperial edict and killed Yu Chigong first and then reported it. However, Qin Huaidao knew that Li Er could only give a few words of warning and would not really convict him.
We are all smart people, they just do what they need.
The two chatted for a while, and Su Dingfang came over with more than a thousand troops. One person led a horse, and the horse was carrying liquor. Some of them were dragging black packages, which contained the explosives prepared last night. They were not allowed to be shown to anyone. Qin Huaidao said:
"Shibo, I have to ask you to provide 1,100 more war horses for transportation. Their horses are loaded with liquor and cannot move easily."
"It doesn't matter, you captured them from Goguryeo anyway. Since the horseshoe was introduced, the loss of war horses has dropped sharply, and the Tang Dynasty is no longer short of horses. I will prepare them for you." Yu Chigong agreed, beckoning a school captain to come over, and warned
After a few words, the other party agreed and hurried into the camp.
After waiting for a while, more than a thousand batches of war horses were led out and distributed. Immediately afterwards, the roar of war horses came from the camp, and a large army rushed out from inside. The leader was Cheng Chuliang, who held his fists and saluted from a distance.
, laughed loudly and said: "Brother Qin, I am so happy to be able to fight side by side with you again."
"You bastard, you are neither old nor young. You are in the army now, not in ordinary times. You are called a general. You have no rules and I will beat you to death." Yu Chigong scolded.
"Hey, General." Chen Chuliang saluted again.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Shibo, you don't need to be so serious. We are all brothers who have been through life and death. We are used to playing around. It doesn't matter. It's just a title."
"That won't work. Normally I don't care. Once on the battlefield, there must be a distinction between superiors and subordinates." Yuchi Gong insisted.
Qin Huaidao did not refute, and other people happened to rush over, salute one after another, and said: "Cheng Chuliang is the front army, Cheng Chubi is the rear army, Yuchi Baoqi is the left army, Li Yixie is the right army, and Fang Yiai is the middle army.
Su Dingfang was the pro-army, and the army set off on a hasty march."
"Follow the order!" Everyone clasped their fists and returned to their respective army positions.
Soon, everyone took action. Each person led four thousand soldiers and horses on the road. Including the soldiers and horses of the Supervisory Office, there were a total of 21,100 people. They were all Yulin Guards. Their combat effectiveness was undoubted. Qin Huaidao looked at the soldiers rolling away.
Twenty thousand soldiers and horses, high-spirited and full of ambition - Turks, I'm here!
After bidding farewell to Wei Chigong, the sweaty horses and white-hoofed crows rushed forward without raising their whips. Su Dingfang led a thousand troops to defend the surroundings. They fulfilled their duties and couldn't help but feel their blood boiling. They had long heard of the reputation of the Protector of the Country. On the battlefield
There has never been a defeat. Back then, 5,000 troops entered Goguryeo, 10,000 troops captured Tubo, and now 20,000 troops are marching north. I am lucky enough to be a part of it. I must cherish it and make contributions today.
The army rushed out of the Forbidden Garden and headed north. Soon they came to the Weihe River Ferry. They saw a carriage parked next to it. Next to the carriage, Xiao'e looked up eagerly. She immediately understood the person in the carriage and hurried forward: "I have seen the princess."
The curtains of the carriage opened, revealing two beautiful faces. They were Yu Zhang and Li Xueyan. Qin Huaidao was startled. The two seemed to have a good relationship, but he didn't ask any more questions. He bowed again: "I have met the two princesses."
The imperial edict for Li Xueyan's promotion to princess has been issued, and the imperial edict for her marriage has also been issued. However, Qin Huaidao was not in the house and did not accept the edict. The matter became a fuss, and it was considered to be just in name.
There were tears in Yuzhang's eyes: "Brother Qin, it's true that my father sent you out to fight. Is your injury better? Be careful. Xueyan and I are waiting for you to come back."
"Much better." Qin Huaidao said and looked at Li Xueyan, a little embarrassed.
Li Xueyan was also embarrassed, but she mustered up the courage to ask: "You stopped me from marrying to Tubo. I have always been grateful in my heart, but will you still stop me from marrying into the Qin family?"
"Do you want me to stop it?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"I don't want to." Li Xueyan said with a shy look on her face.
"It's hot outside. Go back. I'll leave the barbecue bar to you. When you have time, go back home and spend time with He'er. She is my woman. I hope you can get along happily." Qin Huaidao said a word and rode away.
The curtains were lowered, and Li Xueyan covered her burning face, worrying about gains and losses: "Doesn't he want me? Why, am I not worthy of him? Or don't use reasons?"
"Didn't you hear clearly what Brother Qin just said? Leave the barbecue bar to us, not me alone, and ask us to go back to the house more, instead of going to the house, what do you think? However, He'er is already Brother Qin's woman
, I really envy her, let’s go back home, we will all be sisters from now on, we must get along well.” Yu Zhang looked envious.
"I remember they are master and servant, right?" Li Xueyan asked curiously.
Yuzhang nodded and reminded seriously: "He'er grew up with Brother Qin since childhood. They are like sweethearts and have a deep relationship. We can't envy him. Moreover, Huai Dao is a very human being. He has no sense of superiority or inferiority in his heart. He treats the common people very well.
Treat everyone equally. Although he is a master and a servant, he is actually very close. He'er has a very high status in Brother Qin's heart. He'er takes care of almost all the affairs in the house. Don't be discriminatory or look down upon."
"I know, let's go, let's go back home, hee hee!" Li Xueyan reacted, smiled happily, secretly remembered Yu Zhang's reminder, and decided to go back and get along well with He'er.
"No shame, Xiao'e, let's go to the Duke Protector's Mansion."
"I understand, princess." Xiao'e, who was waiting outside, agreed.
