Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 198

"Your Highness, the army we are commanding this time is Youwuwei and Youweiwei among the sixteen guards. The generals and generals of these two armies have gathered in the barracks outside the city. Can your Highness meet with you?"

"No need, Wei Sima's matter should be handed over to the two generals. Nowadays, this king values ​​food and grass more."

Yan Shigu was holding a booklet, with a strange expression on his face, "Your Highness, is this really something from Prince Qin's Palace?"

The reason why his face is so ugly is mainly because there are too many things in Qin Wang's mansion.

With the empress's subsidy, plus Li Fangchen's previous large sum of money collected from the liquor management rights, the initial calculation alone is enough for the food and grass expenses of the [-] troops for a year.

In addition, what Yan Shigu couldn't understand the most was that there was a whole warehouse of air-dried meat in the warehouse of Prince Qin's mansion.

When the Liaoren rebellion was put down before, Li Fangchen lived on meat sticks all day long. In order to avoid the situation of no meat to eat during the march, Li Fangchen began to buy cattle and sheep in the market and made them into jerky.

If it is divided into the whole army, it may really not be much.

But if it is distributed to the White Wolf Army, it will be enough for them to eat for half a year.

"Yan Canjun, but there is not enough food and grass? Don't worry, there is still some silver in the palace, which should be enough to supply my army along the way."

Yan Shigu wiped off his cold sweat, "Your Highness has filtered it, and the household department will be responsible for the supply of food and grass for the army, so there is no need for Your Highness to waste money from the government."

Li Fangchen said with a faint smile: "Preparation is safe, what's more, if there is food, this king will have more confidence!"

Several people looked at each other, feeling that there was something in His Royal Highness King Qin's words.

However, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and ordered the troops to gather on the outskirts of Chang'an, on a newly built school ground, where Li Fangchen was located on a high platform.

Waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Tang Emperor, Li Shimin.

There are more than 6000 people and no auxiliary soldiers. The remaining [-] auxiliary soldiers in Chang'an are all given to Li Jing and Li Xiaogong's men.

Li Fangchen and his team's mission was very clear, it was just to block the intruders from Ashina's Mohe Department.

Similarly, the journey is the farthest. You have to go through Suzhou first and take back Yumen Pass.

Of the Turkic troops this time, 15 marched from the East Turks to the Guannei Road, and the remaining [-] went to the Longyou Road in Yumen Pass.

This battle is difficult, and the difficulty lies in the fact that the opponent can replenish troops from the rear at any time.

In Turkic territory, there are still capable fighters, as many as 20.

In previous years, the Turks had little iron, and most of the Turkic soldiers and horses were leather armors. However, after the opening of the city with the Tang Dynasty, a large part of the Turkic soldiers could wear iron armor.

Although Li Fangchen has weakened the number of young and strong Turks, but from another perspective, he has also strengthened the personal combat power of the Turks.

Isn't this a kind of trouble?
On the school grounds, among the White Wolf Army, there was an area filled with horse-drawn carts, with a lot of hay laid on them. Many people were curious about what was being transported in this cart?
Since entering the barracks last night, these hundreds of carriages have been completely taken over by the White Wolf Army.Non-White Wolf Army should not approach easily, which also made Youwuwei and Youweiwei's brothers extremely curious.

Similarly, there is another thing, that is, the formation and momentum of the White Wolf Army completely surpassed the [-] sergeants.

In comparison, their Youwuwei and Youweiwei brothers are no different from the miscellaneous army.

You must know that the Sixteen Guards were originally a first-class and powerful army in the world, but now compared with them, they are completely suppressed in terms of momentum.

Naturally, there will be people who are not convinced, but the strong are always respected in the army, and now they have to hold back their dissatisfaction. Only when they actually go to the battlefield will they know who is the strong army.

Li Shimin led dozens of officials and came slowly, Li Fangchen stepped down to greet them.

With just one glance, Li Shimin made a judgment on the White Wolf Army, "Six thousand is worth sixty thousand, so why worry about such an army?"

Even the old Confucianists behind Li Shimin have a special look in their eyes at the moment, they don't know what a strong army is.

Being welcomed onto the high platform by Li Fangchen, facing tens of thousands of horses below, Li Shimin raised his arms, "Masters, return in glory!"

"Roar!"

Li Fangchen took a step forward and shouted: "Expel the foreign enemies, the Great Tang will win!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!!"

"Wan Sheng!!!"

The roar overwhelmed one at a time, and even covered all the surrounding sounds.

The sound of insects disappeared, and the birds and beasts flew away. Only the firm voice of the soldiers continued to expand in all directions.

"it is good!"

Li Shimin couldn't help shouting, and then Liu Sancheng stepped forward, holding a tray with a glass of sake in his hand, and came to Li Fangchen.

"Yu'er, I am waiting for your triumphant return in Chang'an!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Picking up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, then faced the army, drew out the sword at his waist, "Let's go!"

"Roar!"

Watching Li Fangchen get on the BMW, followed by the white wolf Aurora, and tens of thousands of soldiers behind him, Li Shimin's heart throbbed for a moment. He was very worried that this child whom he loved so much would never return to Chang'an.

"drive!"

Clamping his legs hard, the horse galloped out quickly.

"Ow!"

Aurora roared, followed by His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, leading the army!

For the long-distance trek, as the one with the longest distance this time, Li Fangchen set out three days earlier than Li Jing and the others. Along the way, he had to take care of the transportation of grain, grass and supplies, so the speed was not considered fast.

It is estimated that in a day, it will be about twenty or thirty li, which is far away from Longyou Road.

Li Fangchen rode on the horse, if he was not tired, he would never get into the carriage.

Qin Qiong and Chai Shao felt that His Highness King Qin was a little different this time, as if he was thinking about something.

In the middle of the night, the military tent was raised, and Li Fangchen summoned the generals in the tent, "General Qin, have you mastered that weapon?"

Qin Qiong nodded, and from time to time, he would take a look at Qin Huaiyu who was serving as the guard next to Li Fangchen.

what weapon?
Of course, it was the artillery. Because of the lack of ammunition, Li Fangchen didn't let them operate with live ammunition, and they were basically simulated.

A few movements have to be practiced thousands of times a day, which confuses all the soldiers involved.

Facing a big iron pipe all day long, doing some shameful things, who would feel better?
Qin Qiong also suggested that the people below should see the power of the cannon, which would help improve the morale of the army.

Li Fangchen ignored this at all, "If you don't see the enemy, don't fire!"

It's best not to show the hole card until the critical moment, otherwise it will cause trouble.

If it is really based on mobility, Datang is no match for the Turks. If it is not a frontal battlefield, after the Turks have a clear understanding of artillery, the Datang army will be in trouble.

You will definitely suffer endless harassment from the opponent, and the artillery will become a complete burden by then.

Another point, Li Fangchen has a deeper calculation, only allowing others to invade the Tang Dynasty, and not allowing our army to step on the grassland?
What a joke, once he regains Yumen Pass, he intends to lead the White Wolf Army into the grassland.

First defeat Ashina Nishu Mohe and set up a department, then circle around the grassland, enter the royal court to have a look, then circle back to the pass, attack Jieli and Tuli, and then completely turn Turkic into the land of the Tang Dynasty.
