Fa Zheng never imagined that a draft idea he provided to Chang'an would become the main thread guiding the subsequent strategic execution.

Even when the people of Chang'an added their own bricks and tiles to further improve it, turning it into a plausible and executable strategic plan, it was released.

Having learned the reason behind it, Fazheng had some doubts in his mind: was this really the strategic direction he had proposed?
Didn't he only offer one suggestion and make one inquiry?

Not understanding the reason behind it, Fazheng could only assume that the people behind him had their own calculations and plans, so he did not investigate further.

As long as it can be executed, that's fine.

"As long as it can be executed, why think so much?" Fa Zheng shook his head as he recalled the waiting time of the past two days after receiving the reply.

Now that the matter has been agreed upon and the other party is willing to help, then we can simply proceed according to the method in our minds.

Execute quickly and effectively, then complete your policy, redeploy and target Rahul, and change the strategic layout in the south.

"In seven days, we will be able to see whether the empire with a million armored soldiers, which the Kushan envoy spoke of and which dominates the South Asian continent, is merely a facade or a genuine adversary." Fa Zheng, slightly concealing his excitement, gazed southward, his words carrying a hint of competitiveness.

Being on the front lines, he was able to utilize his abilities and wisdom in his area of ​​expertise, demonstrating the strength of the Han Empire to the Kushan Empire.

Regardless of how strong the enemy is, he is very strong, and the Han Empire is even stronger!

Meanwhile, Ma Zhong, who had also crossed the mountains and left the territory of Yizhou, looked at the suddenly open world without any change in expression.

"Is this the territory of the Protectorate General of South and Central Asia? It is indeed a nice place, but it's a pity that such an annoying opponent has come." Long Nianyi put down the book in his hand, looked at the clear road, and casually commented.

"Whether it's an opponent or not is not important. Our purpose in coming here has always been the same." Ma Zhong glanced at Long Nianyi and said seriously, "Our expedition this time is only for revenge, to make that ungrateful guy understand what he did wrong, to kill him, and to bring his body back."

They are not a conventional army, and they are unlikely to obey the commands of a conventional army. They have their own goals and their own requirements.

They were carrying shame and pressure, but also carrying the glory of Liu Tong, or rather, the empire, as they moved forward. There was no room for regret, and no regrets would ever arise.

“Understood. We will not forget the other party’s name and appearance.” Yang Mao took out a piece of silk from his breastplate, looked at the figure drawn on it and the name left next to it, and said very seriously.

The entire legion, from top to bottom, basically had a piece of silk cloth like this, which they bought and painted with their own money.

Memorize the other person's appearance and name, then kill them the moment you encounter them.

It's safe to say that once you run into them, that damned guy has absolutely no chance of escaping.

"We've found out. General Guan passed by here three days ago. It seems we're late." Yu Yao, who was in charge of gathering information, quickly shared the information he had discovered and collected, highlighting the most important point.

Being late is considered a very serious mistake in the military, even a potentially fatal one, especially during wartime. Upon hearing this, Ma Zhong simply nodded calmly, showing no concern whatsoever. He merely relayed the information to all the soldiers and guards.

They arrived at their current location three days later than Guan Yu's army, which set off from Jingzhou.

This is not because they didn't work hard; on the contrary, it is proof of their hard work.

At their normal marching pace, it would have taken them another half a month to reach this location. Now, arriving half a month ahead of schedule, they are only three days behind Guan Yu's army.

But these three days did not bring Ma Zhong any joy; instead, he became much more silent.

Traveling day and night, exerting all their strength, they could only maintain their current speed on the relatively safe domestic roads, and were still unable to catch up with Guan Yu's army.

If it were the White Feather Soldiers instead, the enemy would probably have already caught up with Guan Yu's army, or even arrived ahead of time and waited for Guan Yu's army to arrive at this place.

The difference in marching speed alone is enough to demonstrate the gap between the two sides, especially for the White Feather Soldiers, the gap would only be greater.

"Alright, let's keep going!" Composing himself, Ma Zhong looked at the legion whose expressions had become noticeably heavier, and finally gave the order for the entire legion to continue advancing.

At this moment, Ma Zhong, who ordered the troops to advance, was completely unaware of the difference between this legion's march and that of other units.

In conventional armies, it is normal to keep armor on and weapons in hand during short marches.

However, maintaining a fully armed combat state during such a long-distance march is somewhat unrealistic.

Maintaining such a combat state, while preserving the strength of one's equipment, will ultimately deplete the soldiers' physical strength and willpower, and reduce marching speed. This is extremely detrimental for long-distance marches.

After all, the greater the distance, the greater the logistical pressure. If the daily marches are replenished according to the consumption of intense combat, then the logistical pressure will double.

However, thanks to the world's formidable individual qualities and strength, their stamina is also quite remarkable.

Not only is being fully armed for short distances largely unaffected, but even during strenuous half-moon marches, one can maintain full armament.

However, for a march that lasts several months, disarming and marching is the best option.

However, the princess's guards, fully armed, did their utmost to reach this place from Chang'an.

This kind of understanding, hidden in the details, often needs to be further deepened through practice.

Or rather, the theory is taught in classrooms, and everyone present has learned it, but the burdens they carry prevent them from letting go of their armor. Just as they came here unable to let go of the humiliation in their hearts, the pressure on their bodies, the glory of the empire, the princess's favor... (End of this chapter)
