"I'm leaving, wait for my good news!"

Luo Shixin raised his hand and said his final goodbye.

Pingyang looked into the distance until the figure disappeared.

When we arrived at the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, we were in a total of 5,000 troops of the right guard Mo Dao Army, the Guqi Army and the Joint Flag Army of the 12 Armies of Guanzhong, a total of 50,000 troops, lined up in neat formations, quietly watching the young commander on the school stage.

Luo Shixin glanced around, and the dense soldiers gathered like ants. This was his soldiers... a total of 50,000.

Looking at these heroic soldiers, Luo Shixin, who was commanding such a large army for the first time, could not help but have a huge ambition in his heart, shouting: "The Xi tribe invaded and harmed my compatriots. As a general of the Tang Dynasty, he only had to fight. Let's set off..."

There is no long talk, and a simple sentence reflects Luo Shixin's straightforward style.

The 50,000 soldiers were stunned one after another, and then laughed and shouted.

"It's just a battle..."

The army was in a mighty way and embarked on the road to war.

Luo Shixin smiled with satisfaction, knowing that he had left a good impression among the 45,000 soldiers who were not familiar with him.

This declaration of expedition came with the interest of the commander, but most commanders would pay great attention to this matter, paying attention to justification, proclaiming their righteous army, and giving a great reason to attack to inspire the morale of the three armies.

But the difficult declaration of going to the expedition can really stimulate morale and make it understandable for all generals and soldiers?

This may not be!

If it were Liu Bang and Hitler who were good at speaking, they would naturally drive the morale of the three armies. Most people would make a lot of sense, which would only make soldiers bored and unpleasant.

Luo Shixin asked himself that he would not say anything long, and his eloquence was not as good as Liu Bang and Hitler, so he simply shortened the declaration of going to expedition into one sentence.

A simple sentence. Just focus on the point.

Instead, it made the soldiers realize their responsibilities and faced with foreign enemies: they only need to fight!

Without the burden of food, supplies, the 50,000 army marched very quickly and took a midnight to leave the suburbs of Chang'an.

The 50,000 people didn't even have to deal with the camp, and they fell to the ground to rest.

As for patrols, there is no arrangement. If the Tang Dynasty encounters an enemy attack in its heart, Na Luo Shixin can only admit that he is unlucky.

Before going to bed, Luo Shixin met with the three generals Lei Yongji, Zhang Pinggao and Lu Junyan. The three were responsible for the training of the Guqi Army of the 12th Guanzhong Army, the Flag Army and the Xuange Army for many years. With Li Shimin's battle in the south and north, he also made great achievements. He also saw Luo Shixin's bravery on the battlefield more than once, and did not dare to underestimate the young commander in front of him. In addition, with Pingyang's connection, the four of them did not feel incongruity as strangers. They got along very well.

Luo Shixin also learned from them the strength of the Guqi Army, the Banner Army, and the Xuange Army. He also secretly praised him. If they did not give him what he said, Li Yuan would give him the elites of a hundred battles and have extremely strong combat power. Or in other words, when the 12 Guanzhong Army was founded in the rise of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty relied on the 12 Guanzhong Army to unify the world. Most of the existing 12 soldiers were veterans, and each army was not weak.

With five thousand Modao strong soldiers in hand and forty-five thousand elite soldiers, Luo Shixin has more confidence.

"By the way..." Luo Shixin suddenly thought of a question and said, "How many cavalry do you have in your own hands?"

Lei Yongji said: "My drum and flag army has 721 horses."

Zhang Pinggao replied: "There are 889 cavalrymen in the flag army."

Lu Junyan said proudly: "The Xuange Army has the largest number. There are 1,156 cavalry."

Because it was the Tang Dynasty's government system and the military and horses used by the government soldiers were self-provided, so the regular army like the Twelve Guards could not be assigned to war horses, and we could not expect all the government soldiers to bring war horses, so the number of cavalry was naturally uneven.

Luo Shixin thought about it secretly and suddenly smiled: "The march is boring, I decided to have a competition. You go back and gather all the cavalry and use Fenglingdu on the south bank of the Yellow River as the end point. After the battle, the two thousand cavalry who first reached Fenglingdu will be rewarded with me."

Lei Yongji, Zhang Pinggao, and Lu Junyan were puzzled and looked at each other. It was not a joke to send troops to fight. In an instant, the confidence of the three generals in Luo Shixin suddenly dropped by several levels.

Lu Junye was the most upright and said with a tough temper: "Master General, this is not good. The compatriots in Youzhou are being slaughtered by alien races. The soldiers wish they could grow wings like birds and fly to Youzhou for reinforcements. How could they have the mood to have such a competition?"

Lei Yongji and Zhang Pinggao also nodded one after another.

Luo Shixin smiled and said, "The three generals really think I'm bored? I just want to test the cavalry's riding skills..." He said, paused here, glanced across the three of them, and said cautiously, "I need two thousand cavalry that can rush to attack."

Lu Junyan, Lei Yongji, and Zhang Pinggao suddenly felt pressure, and the atmosphere in the tent was tight.

"The last general is given order!" Lu Junyan, Lei Yongji, and Zhang Ping said solemnly.

Luo Shixin nodded and smiled heartily. Lu Junyan, Lei Yongji, and Zhang Pinggao also reduced their pressure due to this smile and dared not have any other thoughts.

The three of them retreated, and Luo Shixin asked someone to invite Su Dingfang and told him that he planned to have a riding competition.

Su Dingfang was Su Dingfang, who could keep up with Luo Shixin's thoughts and asked: "Is the general planning to select a cavalry from the army and launch a rushing attack?"

Luo Shixin stopped hiding Su Dingfang and said with a smile: "Yes, Gao Kaidao is only a few cities, and the soldiers and horses in his hand are only more than 10,000. The 30,000 cavalry of the Xi clan seem scary, but it is almost equivalent to the combat power of their entire clan. Do you really think that they will have the courage to fight us openly when they enter Youzhou?"

Su Dingfang shook his head and said firmly: "It's impossible. It's said that the grassland people are really straight-hearted men, but they are bullshit. How could a group of people who compete with foxes and hungry wolves have true men? They are all cunning and ruthless, so they bully the border army. How dare they fight us openly?"

"That's it!" Luo Shixin slapped the table and said, "I have learned the other party's style and have learned so many times. I have followed the footsteps and scared the Xi tribe away, Gao Kaidao, and let them hide back to Yuyang. Then we have to attack Yuyang and fight a difficult siege. How stupid should I be to do such idiotic things? I don't treat such fools. We should not use common sense to play cards and use methods to use military force. Since they dare to come and come to Youzhou to kill, burn and loot, then don't think about leaving. Leave them and use their heads to commemorate the suffering people in the local area."

Su Dingfang smiled knowingly and said, "I understand."

Luo Shixin said: "As the head coach, I cannot favor one or the other. The thousand cavalry under your command will participate in the test together, so don't lose my right guard's face."

Su Dingfang said proudly: "The cavalry last general of the Right Guard personally trained and taught the methods of riding and raiding, and he would definitely give the general a face."

Rest in the middle of the night, and continue to rush forward at dawn.

After walking for ten miles, outside Xinfeng County, the county magistrate had already arranged for the civilian women to prepare breakfast for 50,000 troops. The army rested and had a meal.

Eat and drink enough, and have a little rest after a meal.

Luo Shixin also announced the riding competition.

Because Lu Junyan, Lei Yongji, and Zhang Pinggao had all made preparations before, the soldiers with mounts were not very resistant. When they heard that there was a reward, they thought it was difficult to fight for the first and second, but the first two thousand were not difficult. There was no reason to be a reward given, and the competition was even more serious.

Cavalry and infantry.

On the way, Luo Shixin was also observing the physical strength of the infantry of the Guqi Army, the Banner Army, and the Xuange Army. As a result, the three armies that had been through battle for a long time all had good physical strength. They also had the qualities of veterans, and they did not complain or complain or complain, and used all their strength to hurry on the road.

Because there are all officials along the way, the sky is beautiful, and it does not block the road without wind and rain. The marching speed is extremely fast, reaching ten miles a day. In the past, it can be completed in two days.

This is the result of Luo Shixin's deliberate control, not the extreme speed, otherwise the army would be faster.

Thinking about the feat of Bai Qi's eight-day march in eight hundred miles to defeat Zhao, Wei coalition, Huo Qubing fought for 1,200 miles to kill the Xiongnu King Zhelan, King Lu Hou, and Sima Yi's march in eight thousand and two hundred miles to defeat Meng Da, I feel that if he did this, it would be wonderful.

However, Luo Shixin just thought about it casually. These attacks in history have premeditated strategic goals. He didn't want to imitate Dongshi and blindly seek speed, exhausting the army and making a laughing stock.

At Fenglingdu and the cavalry, Luo Shixin took the list given by Su Dingfang and raised his thumbs up to his most capable arm. As he said, the right guard cavalry, with only one thousand cavalry, all passed the right guard cavalry, and were all within two thousand places. It is worth mentioning that among the first thousand places, the right guard cavalry occupied 956 places, and only forty-four people fell to the first thousand.

Su Dingfang was not very satisfied. In his opinion, the previous quota should all belong to the Right Guard.

Such achievements also allowed the Guqi Army, the Joining Flag Army, and the Xuange Army to see the potential strength of the Right Guard.

In the marching of infantrymen, the neat performance of the Right Guard surpassed the Guqi Army, the flag army, and the Xuange Army. The cavalry attacked them and overwhelmed them. One thing has to be admitted: the twelve guards rumored in Chang'an was the first in the Right Guards, which was not groundless.

As soon as the infantry arrived, the cavalry rested for a long time. Luo Shixin ordered the cavalry to cross the river first. After the infantry rested, he then crossed the Yellow River.

It was not until Dingzhou that Luo Shixin issued an order for a full rest and recuperation. In Dingzhou, they needed to completely replenish their physical strength to marches all the way, and at the same time they needed to collect enough food and supplies from the Dingzhou military warehouse. After Dingzhou, it was the Youzhou front line, and it was obvious that no local officials could prepare food for them along the way.
