Chapter 8 Bright Sword(2/2)

"March!" Zhou Yang waved his right hand.

"Rumor!" The sound of thunderous hooves sounded, splashing large patches of smoke and dust, like an angry dragon, pounced on the mountain.

Teams of Han army drove out from the general's stage. Li Guang and his team quickly got off the general's stage, flew on horses, and drove out with the Han army.

"General Cheng, you'll have to work hard here." Zhou Yang clasped his fists without knowing it.

Zhou Yang originally wanted to keep Cheng Bushi and Li Guang to lead the remaining 100,000 Han troops. However, Hou Chan'er appeared in Donghu, and was the first person to escape from Li Guang's arrow. Li Guang felt sorry for him. He had to go to the Donghu land and fight Hou Chan'er again.

Li Guang's archery skills are unique throughout the ages and are rare in the world. If he does not satisfy his wish, Li Guang will regret it for the rest of his life, so Zhou Yang had to agree to let Li Guang go with him.

Although Li Guang went there, Zhou Yang attached a condition that he would try his best to fight Wei Qing, Zhang Tong and others in this battle to let them experience it.

The person who rolled in wars all his life to ask him to go to the battlefield, but he could not lead the army to fight. That would cost him his life. However, Li Guang was a person who knew the overall situation. He knew Zhou Yang's painstaking efforts and still agreed.

In this way, the matter of being aware of the family fell on Cheng Bushi. Cheng Bushi was extremely reluctant and had to start from the overall situation, stay and command the Han army, and by the way, he had to select soldiers and train the new army.

"Master, take care of yourself!" Cheng Buzhi stretched out his big hand and tightly held Zhou Yang's arm. Although he didn't say much, he had deep affection.

"Take care!" Zhou Yang patted Cheng Buzhi's arm, quickly stepped off the platform, flew onto the Fengchasing Feng and galloped away.

The camp is dozens of miles away from the exit of the mountain road. For all the Han soldiers riding horses, it is just a breath of effort.

At this time, the exit was like a flood gate. The Han army rode war horses and rushed out one by one.

As soon as they left the exit, the Han army advanced in a separate route. Wei Qing, Li Guang, Zhang Tong and others rushed to the north according to the route pre-allocated by Zhou Yang.

A hundred thousand army cannot take the same path, as it will waste a lot of time. We will advance separately, advance together, and be faster.

Although it was a 100,000 army, it had two war horses. In total, it was 100,000 people and 200,000 war horses. This was an amazing number. Although it was moving in different directions, the movement was still quite large. Wherever the Han army went, it must have aroused amazement from the people.

Not to mention anything else, just so many war horses are enough to surprise the people.

The Han Dynasty had few horses, which was the reason why the Han Dynasty had not trained a large number of cavalry. Since the Battle of the Great Wall, the Han Dynasty seized hundreds of thousands of horses, selected high-quality mares and stallions, and raised large quantities of war horses. By now, the Han Dynasty had an astonishing 600,000 horses.

Horses were strategic resources in the era of cold weapons, which were related to the safety of the country and the prosperity of the nation. In Chinese history, the dynasty that had the most horses was not the Han Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the Tang Dynasty reached its peak, and the war horses raised by the court alone reached an astonishing 800,000.

The Han Dynasty is still a little different from this record, it doesn’t matter. This is just the beginning. As long as time goes by, the Tang Dynasty’s record will definitely be broken.

Not to mention, the Han army was strong and well-equipped. Although the Han army did not wear armor on the way, in order to save energy, they put the armor and weapons on the horse's back to carry them.

However, the temperament that has been trained for a long time cannot be changed. The people can see at a glance that these Han soldiers are not comparable to what they usually see, and it is difficult for them not to cheer.

This march was a grand propaganda. The people had seen the extraordinary nature of the new army and were all happy that Mo Ming was, and the most common sentence was often "I want my son to join the army!"

This was an unexpected propaganda. From then on, the people signed up to join the army and were extremely enthusiastic. Zhou Yang was really surprised.

The Han army acted very quickly. After leaving the Central Plains, it arrived in the north in just two days.

The northern land at this time was very different from that time. Zhufu Yan's immigration policy took effect, and millions of people moved to the northern land were moved. With so many people, the north has flourished, the city has become larger, the streets have become wider, the houses have become more abundant, the resources have become more abundant, and the living standards of the people have become higher...

Since the Great Wall Victory and the return of Chang'an, Zhou Yang has never been to the North again. This was a revisiting place in the old place, but it made him feel deeply moved. In just a few years, the North has undergone earth-shaking changes. Although I had heard of this change for a long time, when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still surprised.

This is all the contribution of the Lord Father Yan. Zhou Yang's old story of Lord Father Yan fainting in front of his mansion appeared in front of Zhou Yang. He couldn't help but feel very moved. If there were no Lord Father Yan, there would be no border plan for immigrants. However, if it were not for Zhou Yang's help, Lord Father Yan would have died of cold and hunger. How could he have the high and powerful Lord Father Lord today?

The Han army was in Youzhou, which is now Beijing. After a while, they took a break and then turned to the northeast. Two days later, the Han army arrived in western Liaoning, with a giant dragon winding in front of them, which was the Great Wall.

The Great Wall is the pride of the Chinese nation and the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors. Our ancestors built the Great Wall mainly to prevent the northern Hu people from moving south. The Hu people mentioned here are a general term because there are many nomadic peoples to guard against when building the Great Wall, mainly the Huns and the Donghu.

The western section of the Great Wall was mainly to prevent the Xiongnu. The eastern section of the Great Wall was mainly built by Yan State, and it was not the Xiongnu, but the Donghu. During the Warring States Period, the Donghu nuisance against the Yan State was the most powerful.

After passing the Great Wall in front of you, you will arrive at the Donghu land.

Zhou Yang rushed to the Great Wall. Looking around, he saw that the Han army was pouring into the Donghu land like a sea of ​​tides.

Donghu is an ancient nomadic people that has been invading the Central Plains since ancient times. However, China has never entered Donghu on a large scale. This is the first time in Chinese history and is of great significance.
