The Book of Heaven

Chapter 447
The imperial decree, in this era, means God's will, and God's will cannot be violated.

No matter what Ma Zheng's three wives think, the fact that Ma Zheng became the vanguard commander of the Western Conqueror Army cannot be changed. When the imperial decree arrived, Ma Zheng's clothes, waist badges and other things were also given away at the same time. I realized that the only thing Ma Zheng needs to do is to handle the family affairs within three days and then report.

First, receive the corresponding follow-up at the post station in Tianshui City, and then go straight to the Persian Capital Protectorate. As for the [-] soldiers and horses under Ma Zheng's command, I am afraid that the emperor gave him a special favor. Let Ma Zheng decide, he can bring his own, or After arriving at the Persian Protectorate, he was selected, and he was even given priority in selecting elite soldiers and strong generals.

Originally, Ma Daogong planned to prepare [-] Ma family elites for Ma Zheng. Firstly, it could ensure Ma Zheng’s safety as much as possible, and secondly, it was also for the face of the imperial court. Who knew Ma Daogong’s opinion was rejected by Ma Chao, and used According to Ma Chao's words, Ma Zheng went to the Northwest to work in the Great Food Kingdom this time to temper himself. If you get such a good soldier and horse for him, he will still be beaten!
So Ma Daogong had to back off three feet and no longer interfere in this matter, but on the day Ma Zheng set off, there were [-] riders waiting for him at the gate of the city.

It wasn't until Ma Zheng asked carefully that he found out that the six hundred riders were arranged by Ma Chao. The ordinary soldiers were first-class, the corporal chiefs were the peak acquired, and the sentry captains were innate!

Among the 600 people, the congenital warrior was actually just a sentinel. Ma Zheng was surprised by such a luxurious lineup, and he didn't know until he asked him again that the youngest among the 50 riders was [-] years old—it couldn't be seen from the outside at all.

It turned out that they were polished by Ma Chao with one hand and one foot, and they really belonged to the elite of the Ma family.

At the same time, they also told Ma Zheng that there are still four such teams, and they will have a round with Ma Zheng on his way to the Persian Protectorate.

There are 600 people from each of the five major families, and the total number is exactly 3000.Among them, there are not only ten partial generals who have entered the hall, but also a total of fifty sentry officers who are in the innate realm. Ma Zheng feels that the army currently equipped should be the only one in the world, and its strength is by no means The ten martial gods alone plus fifty innate talents can be compared, because this is an army, a truly well-trained and well-coordinated army. Bows, arrows and crossbows are all proficient and excellent.

With such an army under Ma Zheng's command, the three women who saw him off felt relieved, but Ying Gu and Zhuge Mingyue were still in tears, and as for Zhao Shuying, it was Ma Chao who knocked him out himself, so he didn't follow Ma Zheng Let's go out together.

The one who led the horse for Ma Zheng was undoubtedly Ma Zhao. Ma Zhao has not been idle these days. Under Ma Chao's many times' guidance, Ma Zhao, who was already a genius, has made another breakthrough in martial arts. The realm is still a bit far away, but the outer martial arts is different from the inner martial arts, and the effects that the two can exert on the battlefield are also different.

Leading a team of 600 people, Ma Zheng finally set off for the Persian Protectorate.

The journey from Tianshui City to the Persian Protectorate is not that short, and it took Ma Zheng a whole month. On the way, [-] riders from the other four families came one after another, and finally entered the Jiling Mausoleum where the Persian Protectorate was located. In the city, Ma Zheng's vanguard finally took shape.

At this time, Ma Zheng discovered that the army he commanded had a characteristic that other teams did not think it possessed—the vanguard army of more than 3000 including him was a team that did not need logistical supplies at all. In other words, such a team With sufficient mobility, it has the characteristics of an excellent vanguard.

The guard of the Persian Capital Protectorate is another celebrity Ma Zheng is familiar with, his surname is Xu and his name is Shiji.This person was also named Li Ji in the world before Ma Zheng crossed over, but in this world the Li family did not become emperor, so Xu Shiji was lucky not to have to change his name.

Ma Zheng didn't know how Xu Shiji became the Protector of Persia, but only after meeting him did he know a real famous general, no matter who the emperor is, he can always show his edge.Xu Shiji has been in charge of the Persian Protectorate for more than ten years. During these ten years, he has not only stabilized one side, but also joined hands with the Huns to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty.

From Xu Shiji's mouth, Ma Zheng also got a lot of information about the Great Food Kingdom. Although it is winter, the coldest time of the year, the mobilization of soldiers and horses from the Great Food Kingdom has not stopped for a day. The Persian Protectorate is less than a month away.

Although it is absolutely impossible for such a huge army to appear on the land of the Persian Protectorate in just one month, Xu Shiji still reminded Ma Zheng not to relax. After doing basic adaptive training, he may have to prepare It's time for an expedition.

The Han Empire has not fought a war on its own land for many years, and there has never been a time when the battle did not take place on someone else's territory. If the army of the Great Food Kingdom invaded the territory of the Persian Protectorate, for Xu Shiji , will be an indelible stain in his military career.

Just ten days after Ma Zheng arrived at the Persian Protectorate, soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the imperial court also arrived one after another. Only then did Ma Zheng know how exaggerated the generals of the Han Empire are now.

Xu Shiji who guarded the Persian Protectorate, Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son who commanded an army of [-], Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Xiong Kuohai, Wu Yunzhao brothers and so on.

Some generals and even Ma Zheng can't remember where they heard it, but they must be famous military generals in history.

Although these generals have different origins, they still found a place for themselves in the army of the Han Empire with their outstanding abilities

Their appearance made Ma Zheng suddenly have the belief that this war must be won, and finally the court confirmed that the supreme commander in charge of this war against the Great Food Kingdom was none other than Li Jing.

Ma Zheng still believed in Li Jing's ability, but among the famous generals, Li Jing's background and age were not outstanding. Later, Ma Zheng learned from Xu Shiji, who was familiar with him first, that Li Jing joined the army himself. Since then, they have been fighting for 30 years, from the south to the north of the empire, and from the east to the west. Basically, wherever there was a war, Li Jing was transferred by the court. During these 30 years, Li Jing From a small soldier to a commander, he has never been defeated, and he can be called the god of war.

Unexpectedly, in this world, Li Jing would have such an outstanding performance, which surprised Ma Zheng. It seems that a person's fate will still be affected by the environment. At least here, it is not Li Jing who listens to Li Yuan and Li Shimin, but Li Yuan and his son had to obey Li Jing's orders honestly.

After the Spring Festival, the spies reported that the 50 troops of the Great Food Kingdom had moved to a place less than three hundred miles away from the Persian Protectorate. Li Jing finally ordered the whole army to prepare, and the army was about to move out.

As the vanguard of the army, Ma Zheng had already received the order to go out formally before the army was prepared.
