Chapter 1170 Unspeakable Hidden
Now the Tang army is reorganizing before the Northern Expedition.

Celebrations, rewards, promotions, dispatches, as well as the recuperation of the wounded and vacations before the war, etc., were too busy.

The new force was transferred to the front line, while the wounded and tired soldiers who had fought hard in the northwest were transferred back to Guanzhong to recuperate.

Among them, the Yongxing Army was a cavalry soldier. After guarding Tongguan with Yujia, they returned to Chang'an with Yujia to rest and stationed in the camp in the east of the city to rest.

On this day, Lu Xiaoyou was dressed in casual clothes, left the camp, and rode his horse towards the city, looking a little lonely.

The atmosphere in the army today is either immersed in the celebration of the great victory, or saddened by the sacrifice of comrades-in-arms, or full of ambition for the subsequent Northern Expedition.It was the same with Lu Xiaoyou before, he seldom had such a lonely expression.

"General, here we are."

Hearing this call, Lu Xiaoyou came back to his senses, his face became serious, and he looked up, in front of him was the Governor-General Tianxia Bingma Yamen that had just been set up for the Northern Expedition.

The yamen has only been tidied up in the past few days, and there are still people moving all kinds of books in boxes and boxes, and people come in and out.

It is said that the emperor proposed to appoint Zhang Jue as the general marshal of the Northern Expedition in the court yesterday, but Zhang Jue has not yet returned to Chang'an.

~~
The next day, Lu Xiaoyou's mother had arrived in Chang'an, so he carefully bandaged the wound on his body.

"Probably in this area, near the Heishui River north of Yinshan Mountain."

"There is no need to salute. In this military office, the Northern Expedition is the first priority in everything, and efficiency is the most important thing."

Feng turned her head to see the bustling city in front of her, and then looked at the majestic armor on her son's body. She still couldn't believe that her son had become a general, so she pinched her tiger's jaw hard, still looking stupid.

"Where is the child in danger? What's wrong with this scar? Tang man, who is not proud of scars, this is the glory of making contributions to the country!"

"Mom, take a carriage."

Now that the preparations for the Northern Expedition have just begun, and even the spoils from the Northwest have not been fully transported back, this military meeting is just a meeting between the generals to get acquainted.

Lu Xiaoyou scratched his head, feeling very strange.

"What do I want this for? Xiaoyou keeps it for a daughter-in-law, remember to ask for a strong one, so that you can have a baby..."

Lu Xiaoyou was stunned for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "The last general... proposed marriage, but was rejected."

"..."

"Here!"

"In a few days, Yi Shiying, Nie Zhongyou and other Yunnan generals will report to Chang'an. Let's talk about it in detail then."

"Yes."

Lu Xiaoyou was full of admiration, and said: "I only know how to fight with His Majesty or a few marshals. If I lead the army alone, I really don't know how to fight."

"Your Majesty, there is no list of prisoners, and there is no list of heads."

When it comes to war, Lu Xiaoyou listens very seriously.

"Brother Liu, you came back with Zhang Shuai."

"After Zhang Shuai withdrew from Jiuyuan City and crossed the Yellow River, Marshal Du of the Yuan Army's Datong Road caught up with him from the east. He pursued Marshal Zhang all the way to Yan'an Mansion, and Ahema from Shanxi smuggled across the Yellow River , and my army has been transferred to the northwest, Liu Shuai is sticking to the eastern front, Zhang Shuai can only support with the remnants of his troops, what a hero."

"He's such a big official, he's got a lot of happy money for what he said."

"Really?" Liu Jinsuo was very surprised, and said: "I heard that your Northwest Army came back and said that the matchmaker of your relatives can break through the threshold."

Unexpectedly, this time, the matchmakers showed embarrassment, pulled each other, turned around and walked away into the big tile next to them.

Soon, the generals lined up and announced the appointment of Zhang Jue as the general marshal of the Northern Expedition.

"Well, go ahead."

But Lu Xiaoyou is someone who only knows how to go to battle to kill the enemy, and his injuries have not healed, and he took another half month's leave, standing here seems a little leisurely.

In fact, he has not calmed down from the surprise of being appointed as the general marshal of the Northern Expedition, and his mind is still in a daze.

Turning around, I saw it was Liu Jinsuo.

"There is also West Road. The Xingqing Mansion has suffered from wars and turmoil in recent years. Yang Wen'an set a big fire when he left. In the short term, it is difficult to afford to be a frontier town where the army gathers. West Road can only send a soldier to cooperate. When we attack Hetao again, I prefer Yang Ben to take care of it."

"Really?" Lu Xiaoyou was full of envy, and said, "Then Big Brother Liu wouldn't be the first to enter Yanjing."

"That's right, even if Kublai Khan escaped alive, it would be very difficult to reverse the current situation."

In short, the beginning of everything is the busiest time.

"General Lu."

"Stop sitting? I want to walk."

"I won't sit. Xiaoyou, where did you rent it? Take it back."

There are too many things on the horizon.

"The birthplace of Wang Gubu, the site of Aibuhua." Li Xia turned his head and asked, "Have we captured Aibuhua?"

Halfway through Lu Xiaoyou's speech, he felt as if he was showing off, scratched his head, and didn't know what to say next, so he said, "I heard that Marshal Zhang is coming back today?"

Liu Jinsuo stared, stared blankly, but didn't say any more, just laughed, imitating Li Xia, patted Lu Xiaoyou on the shoulder, and invited him to have a drink next time.

"Mom, I'll give it to you."

"Your Majesty, the final general will not ask for leave, and is training soldiers in the camp."

When Lu Xiaoyou saw them, he got a headache and wanted to hide.

After a while, everyone was standing around the map and talking about specific strategies.

"Nearly thirty miles."

"Hey, silly chicken." Someone bumped Lu Xiaoyou from behind.

"I see."

In this kind of military discussion, Li Xia spoke a lot more casually, and said: "As for food and grass, it must be insufficient. You can only beat it on the scalp."

"Linzi, you choose some secret agents who can speak Mongolian and go north to make contact."

"Fine, fine, as long as you are not in danger."

"What's the use of the official university? He can't do that, so he was rejected by some young lady."

"So old? I didn't see it."

Feng Shi was determined not to sit down, Lu Xiaoyou had no choice but to drag his family to Chang'an City.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"It's good to read more military books." Li Piao said.

After a military discussion, Li Xia was moving, and suddenly called Lu Xiaoyou, asking, "Didn't you take half a month's leave?"

He supported his mother and watched the ships transporting grain and grass in the distance. He thought that the day of the expedition was one day closer. Who knew if he would be able to come back alive after the next battle, so he thought to himself: "As her identity, she should find A stable person."

Li Xia was still busy, patted him on the shoulder, and left without saying much.

"My..." Lu Xiaoyou scratched his head again. Thinking of Wang Cui's identity, he didn't know what to say, so he said a new word and said, "It's a bit hard to say."

"Zhang Shuai is already seeing His Majesty. General Lu personally experienced the battle of Helan Mountain, and knows that the battle in the northwest is difficult. In fact, the battle along Qin Zhidao was also fierce. Marshal Zhang was reporting to His Majesty this morning."

Lu Xiaoyou imitated the others to salute and send it off, and scratched the back of his head again, feeling a little ashamed.

Lu Xiaoyou felt that something was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, and returned to the camp.

"I know, do your best."

"No, no, Your Majesty has given me the courtyard in Chang'an, and I have already asked someone to pick up my mother..."

Liu Jinsuo was happy when he heard it, and laughed for a long time before saying: "You haven't asked your wife yet, how old are you?"

"where?"

Lu Xiaoyou turned his head to look, but saw that it was Li Zengbo's son Li Piao, and quickly called out: "Li Xianggong."

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just... on the grassland, it's not like being in a city."

"They're all wounded, and you haven't healed yet. What's the matter? You're not getting married?"

"Mom, this is our house."

Compared with his father Li Zengbo, Li Piao is indeed more of a literati.

Lu Xiaoyou knew that fighting a war is not just about reading military books, so he didn't know how to chat, so he scratched his head again.

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Jue looked at Hetao on the map and said, "By the way, there is one more thing. I have captured some Yuan soldiers. I heard that we seem to have a group of soldiers scattered in the north of Yinshan Mountain."

Half an hour later, Lu Xiaoyou picked up Feng Shi at Weishui Pier.

Although he had a house in Chang'an, it was empty inside, and he still felt more comfortable in the camp.

Fortunately, after a while, generals came over one after another, preparing for the military meeting in the lobby.

"Didn't General Lu ask for leave? This big victory and promotion, do you want to go back home and visit your parents?"

As for offering sacrifices to the heavens and proclaiming to the world, they will formally swear to the master before dispatching troops.Today it is still about efficiency.

"That's right, follow Zhang Shuai through this journey, and when the Northern Expedition begins, I will be the vanguard."

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Walking around like this, I passed several familiar matchmakers head on.

"There are two brothers in my family. My mother used to have no money to beg for a wife for me, but later she was too busy."

Zhang Jue could not help but smile.

"Now the news of our great victory has spread all over the world. Many Mongolian and Yuan officials, including Boyan in Henan and Ahema in Shanxi, believe that Kublai Khan is dead. More importantly, the princes of the Han people, such as the Yan family in Dongping , the Taiyuan Hao family, the Zhending historian, and the Shuntian Zhang family, as long as these princes can turn against each other, the war on the East Road will be ten times smoother."

When the generals got together, Lu Xiaoyou felt much more natural. After chatting for a while, Li Xia and Zhang Jue came with a group of generals.

~~
"That was General Lu just now, right?"

He glanced at the shiny armor, and felt that the scars on his face were too scary. After thinking about it, he took out an unopened box of rouge and wiped it. The contrast with the dark skin was sharp, and he wiped it off again. .

Lu Xiaoyou took out another box of rouge.

"These soldiers and horses are not many, but the Yuan army has not been able to extinguish them. According to the captives, Zhu Er asked Wang Gu for fodder several times, but was robbed by a small group of Tang army cavalry. The Yuan army was surrounded by a large army, and they went to Going further north..."

"Mother, just listen to me, tsk tsk, how comfortable it is to ride in this big carriage."

"What the ministers are worried about is whether there is enough food and grass, and Zhao Song's reaction after the transfer of soldiers and horses from Yunnan and Sichuan to the north."

"No wonder, I talked to him many times, but every time I was pushed out."

"..."

On the other side of the alley, a heroic woman passed by. Hearing these discussions, she stopped and glanced at the intersection.

Looking at Lu Xiaoyou's figure, she also scratched her head habitually.
