"Brother He Ruo, you find a place to settle down first, and don't go to Zhang Jincheng rashly. All the troops from the court are gathering in Zhuo County, so it's better to endure it first."
Li Xian said sincerely.
He Ruochongshan nodded and said, "Anzhi, don't worry, but you, be careful when you go to Youzhou. In fact, I still think I should go with you, and it's easier to do things with more people."
Li Xian shook his head and said, "I have received Brother He Ruo's intentions, but this trip to Youzhou is actually better than having fewer people. There are tens of thousands of powerful troops in Youzhou. Compared with ten people going to go to one hundred people, it is actually more beneficial to have fewer people. Don't worry, we won't act rashly. I have never been interested in sending death."
He Ruochongshan smiled and said, "That's good, take care of yourself!"
Li Xian nodded and slowly said three words: "You must live."
He Ruochongshan focused his head and turned over the horse and said, "I picked nineteen best horses from the Turkic war horses, just treat it as a farewell gift for everyone."
He glanced at Li Xian's big dark horse enviously, and then said to Li Xian: "Of course, there is no one."
Li Xian laughed and waved his hand and said, "A good journey!"
He Ruochongshan also waved his hand and took more than a hundred brothers under him to ride away. Li Xian and others looked at He Ruochongshan's departure back until the smoke and dust dissipated.
Li Xian took Ou Siqingqing's hand and said, "Go to find Xiao Di and the others by obediently. It's not that I don't want to take you with you. You know, I will be unable to let go of my hands if I take you. I am thinking about you in my heart, and I will be restricted when doing things. When I come back from Youzhou, I will go to find you at least half a year."
It had been discussed before, but Ou Siqingqing, who had cried, was so strong that she didn't cry. She held Li Xian's hand tightly and said, "Anzhi, I will listen to you. I will count the days and wait for you day by day. Don't lie to me, do you know?"
Li Xian smiled, straightened out the hair on Ou Siqingqing's forehead and said, "This time, I will definitely not lie to you."
Ou Siqingqing nodded, hugged Li Xian's arm and rubbed his sore nose and suddenly smiled, "I won't be a burden to you, you want to... come to me as soon as possible."
Li Xian patted the back of her hand and nodded, looked at Zhang Zhongjian and said, "Grandma, please be careful on the way."
Zhang Zhongjian casually led a horse and jumped on the horse and said to Li Xian: "I understand, my mother-in-law and mother are really fucking bad. We are leaving too. It's awkward, Qingqing, let's go!"
Ou Siqingqing nodded, Li Xian carried her onto the horse, and the two of them looked at each other, with a deep reluctance in their eyes.
Ou Siqingqing said: "Please take care of yourself."
Li Xian nodded silently and walked slowly to Zhang Zhongjian to stand. He took a deep breath, and then slowly and solemnly said something that made Zhang Zhongjian want to beat him up.
"Grandpa, I wish you and your aunt a good son soon."
After saying that, Li Xian jumped out like a rabbit and ran to the edge of the big black horse, and slapped it hard on the buttocks of the big black horse. The big black horse screamed twice in dissatisfaction, then spread its four hooves and ran out. He ran so frantically that it once again made people admire his ability to escape. The Blood Riders and the horse thief of the Tiefutu clasped their fists at Zhang Zhongjian at the same time, and then got on the horse and chased Li Xian's back. Zhang Zhongjian opened his mouth and then laughed. Looking at the direction where Li Xian disappeared, he murmured: "Anzhi, be careful."
Turning around, he said to Ou Siqingqing: "Let's go, don't worry, Anzhi will not have any trouble, no matter what, it will not be difficult for him. In less than half a year, he will appear in front of you healthy."
The girl waited stubbornly and could no longer see his shadow in her eyes before turning around and said something to Zhang Zhongjian that moved him: "Grandma, let's go."
Her name is, Grandpa.
Li Xian ran wildly on the big dark horse, and even the war horses behind him were all famous horses that were selected from a hundred miles away, they could not catch up with him. While running wildly, the strong wind blew away the bitterness in the corner of his eyes.
Ahhhhhhhh!
Li Xian shouted a few crazy words, dispelling the suffocation in his heart.
Including him, towards the distance, the eighteen riders swept away the clouds.

Youzhou
In the mansion of the Huben Lang General of Youzhou, a messenger who rushed back from the south bowed to Luo Yi, who was reading a book by his desk, said: "Report to General, Your Majesty has left Dongdu twenty days ago. The carriages are slowly coming north under the escort of the Sixth Army of the Emperor. The armies of all walks of life have also gathered and set off with the emperor's carriage."
Luo Yi put down the book in his hand, slowly raised his head and asked, "What do you say about Pei Ju?"
The messenger said, "He said to reassure the general. Your Majesty has issued an order to let you guard Youzhou. This conquest of Goguryeo will not mobilize one army and one soldier in Youzhou."
Luo Yi breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled and said, "I understand, you go down and have a good rest."
The messenger bowed and retreated.
Luo Yi stood up, stretched out his hand to push the window open and looked outside. It was September of the seventh year of Daye. As autumn came, the wind was gone, and the boring heat was gone, and it felt refreshing and comfortable to blow on his body. Because he was sure that the unfathomable Your Majesty would not transfer the Youzhou soldiers and horses, Luo Yi finally felt at ease. Youzhou soldiers and horses were trained for years and were the foundation for his future survival. This time, His Majesty's personal expedition to Goguryeo, so he must not let Youzhou soldiers participate in the war.
Over the years, I tried my best to double the supply of the court to Youzhou soldiers, and I strongly intercepted the taxes that the governments near Youzhou should pay for their own use. Even so, it was only an increase of 20,000 light armored infantrymen in addition to the five thousand armored iron cavalry that was raised like burning money. In fact, the money spent on the twenty thousand infantry was less than one-tenth of the five thousand tiger enchantment armor.
But even so, the troops in Youzhou could no longer be expanded. He had no right to deduct all the money and food in Zhuo County, and he did not have the courage now. The consumption of armored cavalry was too great, so big that it could not be afforded by relying on only one place in Youzhou. Even if the court doubled the supply of the Tiger Ben Jingjia, Luo Yi still had no money, because in the report of the Ministry of War, there were only 3,000 Tiger Ben Jingjia.
The two thousand more people were expanded by him as he was able to save money.
Armored iron cavalry, everyone must wear more than 40 kilograms of iron armor during training and fighting, so they must be strong and brave. War horses must also be fully armored, so they must also choose high-quality horses. In order to ensure physical strength, armored cavalry must eat well, meat and vegetables must be guaranteed. The forage of war horses must also be the best, and even ordinary people cannot bear to eat.
In addition to his own war horse, a cavalry must also have a horse to carry equipment, a entourage specializes in taking care of his daily life, weapons and armor, and a groom specializes in serving war horses. In other words, the actual establishment of a 5,000 Tiger Ben Zheng armor, including the entourage, groom, auxiliary soldiers, and logistics personnel is more than 20,000. This requires a huge amount of wealth to maintain, which is the most troublesome thing about Luo Yi.
There is no doubt that the combat power of armored iron cavalry is unparalleled in the world. No matter how arrogant the barbarians on the grassland are, they will be frightened to escape from a distance, like frightened birds and beasts. However, to raise such a cavalry, it is not affordable for one state or one county.
If the armored iron cavalry, which had consumed countless financial resources and material resources and countless efforts of Luo Yi, was transferred to Liaodong, Luo Yi would be very distressed.
Fortunately, the huge fortune of 100,000 yuan was not in vain.
Luo Yi stood at the window and looked at the lush green trees outside, and his eyes gradually became hot.
It's time to prepare.
The world is about to be in chaos. This is the most elite cavalry in the world that should be used on the battlefield. It was once used to defend the country and was the most solid gateway of the Great Sui Dynasty. As for where the Tiger Ben's Spirit Armor will appear in the future...
"Report!"
The voice of his subordinates came from the door of the study room, and Luo Yi, who was interrupted by his thoughts, was a little annoyed. He turned around impatiently and said, "Say, what's the matter!"
"General, the people sent to Yanshan are back."
Luo Yi nodded and said, "Where is the person? Take it to my study."
Soon, several soldiers walked into Luo Yi's study and knelt down on one knee and said, "I'm going to see the general!"
Luo Yi nodded and said, "Tell me, what happened in Yanshan!"
One of them lowered his head and said, "I followed the horse thieves to Yuyang County two years ago, and then followed them to Yanshan. The people of the subordinates kept staring at their movements and did not dare to slacken at all. However, I don't know why the Longting Guard of the imperial court found Yanshan and fought with the horse thieves. During this period, the Longting Guard of Longting Guard also killed a few of us. Last month, at least one thousand people, Longting Guard of Longting Guard arrived in Yanshan and happened to catch the Turks and Zhang Zhongjian's horse thieves fighting. The Longting Guard killed all the Turks and then chased Zhang Zhongjian and others. Our people were killed on the periphery, so later, it was not clear whether Zhang Zhongjian and others were killed."
"Long Ting Guard?"
Luo Yi murmured: "Wenwumen? How did they find Tiefutu?"
"General, my subordinates thought that if someone had not leaked his tracks, the people sent by the court would never be able to find them. The horse thieves who followed Tiefutu in the past two years have tried their best to not be dumped. The horse thieves were very careful and left almost no traces of vetting."
"Someone is staring at Tiefutu?"
Luo Yi asked: "Can you guess who is also staring at Tiefutu's whereabouts?"
"General, in the past few months, only one person has gone up the mountain to meet with the Red Buddha in the Tiefutu. Since March, he has gone up the mountain for five times in total, and each time only stays for one or two hours. Moreover, according to the observation of his subordinates, Zhang Zhongjian doesn't seem to know that the man went up the mountain."
"who!"
"Zhang Zhongjian's sworn brother, Li Jing."
"Jiashi Li?"
Luo Yi raised his eyebrows and sneered: "It's interesting."
At this moment, outside the Youzhou City Gate, a handsome scholar walked with his hands behind his back, and he kept pointing out and savoring the scenery on the roadside from time to time. He was tall and handsome, and looked like he was emitting a strong scholarly atmosphere. However, when he was looking at the guards of the city gate, there was no inadvertent coldness in his eyes.
"When the next September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom..."
The handsome scholar chanted two plagiarized words and sentences to a small wild chrysanthemum on the roadside, which attracted several young women passing by to look at each other, not secretly sending a few autumn spinach trees with their eyes...
Six strong men in servant costumes followed the boy with a modest attitude.
When I walked not far from Youzhou City, looking at the tall and sturdy city, someone couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart: "What a big... a turtle shell."
