Chapter 1483 The enemy is attacking, lead the way!
After reviewing the army, he did not return home, but went straight to the government office to summon civil and military officials to identify people.

"Your Highness, I am the prefect of Qizhou!"

"Your humble servant is the prefect of Qizhou!"

"Your humble servant is the magistrate of Qizhou..."

“Okay~” Among them, as the old nest and base camp, which has been painstakingly managed for more than ten years, the civil and military officials standing on both sides are naturally all Li Chengru’s confidants.

Thanks to its remote location, it can become so uniform. The bottom line is that these four states are too poor. Even birds don't come here to shit. People in the capital simply don't care about this place.

In order to curb the development of Dongyi City, Qing State almost strategically gave up these four states, which also led to no one paying attention to them...

It was already late at night when I finished my work, and I finally dragged my tired body back home.

The lights in Prince Ning's mansion were brightly lit. Naturally, no one was asleep at this moment. They were looking forward to Li Chengru's return. Since they had received the news, they all stood in the yard waiting.

Because there is no princess yet, many matters in the mansion are mainly managed by Si Lili.

She was wearing a light lotus-colored shirt that revealed her slim figure, and a long green skirt that showed off her curves. Her waist was as slender as a willow and her skin was as white as cream. She had completely lost her girlish immaturity. She reached out her hand to touch her slightly bulging belly, emitting the radiance of motherhood.

"Sister, when will the prince come back?" The baby-faced Yuchai looked expectant.

Shihua, who was standing next to her with her dress held up in an amazing curve, smiled indulgently when she heard this.

"It's almost there, it's almost there, didn't you see that Manager Li has already gone out to pick someone up~"

She had just finished speaking.

"Your Highness, please return home~" With a loud shout from Li Lianying, the chief steward of the mansion, the middle door was slowly opened.

Li Chengru walked in from outside with a tired look on his face. Looking at his women, especially the pregnant Si Lili, a smile finally appeared on his face!

From now on, the sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap.

……

More than a month has passed and it is already autumn. Qizhou is located in the north, so the temperature difference between morning and night is very large.

In the training ground, Li Chengru was training on horseback with his bare upper body revealing his bronzed and lean muscles, his eyes revealing a bit of firmness.

He has been very busy for more than a month. He even seldom goes back to the Ningwang Mansion, which has been renamed. He spends every day in the military camp, hanging out with these soldiers, mainly to make up for his shortcomings.

Fighting in a duel is certainly no problem, but a war between two armies is another matter. This requires practice makes perfect, as well as the need to build close relationships with the soldiers.

This is not in vain, the effect is very significant. Now in this feudal dynasty, no one among the scholars would have thought that a prince would actually eat and live with them.

That sense of belonging is soaring!

Li Chengru has also changed his weapon now. Although the wrought iron stick is extremely powerful, it is not very suitable for fighting on the battlefield!

He rode on horseback, holding a saber in his hand, and urged the warhorse under him to move forward slowly. After a while, he suddenly squeezed the horse's belly to accelerate the charge.

The entire set of movements was as smooth as flowing water, and every move and every style could accurately hit the scarecrows placed on both sides, attracting cheers from thousands of onlookers below.

"My lord is mighty!"

Now that Li Chengru has won the hearts of the soldiers, he has several modes of getting along with his subordinates. He knows his own business and is well aware that he is not a talented commander and still has shortcomings in deploying troops, so he can only take a people-friendly approach!

He raised the saber in his hand, sat upright on his horse and looked at thousands of soldiers.

He summoned his true energy and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's have a competition today!"

"You have six battalions in total. The officer or soldier who wins the championship will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. I will also specially roast twenty sheep and give each person a jar of good wine!"

"Whether it's a mule or a horse, take them out for a walk. Whether you want to drink wine and eat meat or eat bran and vegetables, it all depends on your own ability!"

"But if a battalion is at the bottom, then there's nothing to say. If you don't have the ability, you deserve nothing more than to eat porridge, and you have to do laundry for the battalion ranked first!"

The army is a place where the strong are, and they cannot stand this kind of provocation. The 500 cavalrymen are divided into six camps, each with people, and no one wants to be the last one to eat porridge. The atmosphere instantly became tense, and even the warhorse under his crotch was infected, and his left front hoof kept scratching the ground anxiously.

"Each camp will send someone over to draw lots!"

"Follow me~"

The first two battalions to be drawn out from the parade ground have already started fighting. The neighing of horses and the shouting of soldiers are exciting to hear.

"Good!" Li Chengru, dressed in armor, clapped his hands on the platform.

Qizhou Commander Li Hu standing by was a little worried, after all, these cavalrymen were treasures.

He came over and whispered, "My Lord, nothing will happen, right?"

"Thousands of cavalrymen are fighting together. Although they are all using wooden weapons, there is no light or heavy weapon in front of the two armies. If things go wrong, there will be casualties. These are the cavalrymen we have gathered with great difficulty!"

"This is how you train soldiers. Breaking an arm or a leg on the training ground is better than losing your life on the battlefield. Soldiers must have courage in their bones!"

"In the future, not only the cavalry, but all the infantry will also have to train like this. What was that before? They were so lazy. If the enemy doesn't rush over, they might as well just disband and go home to hug their children~"

Now that I have been with these soldiers for a long time, I sometimes blurt out swear words...

Even if the winner was bruised and battered at night, he would still smile and eat meat and drink wine happily.

And there are still two thousand people eating ordinary meals, and they can also get some bone soup. Although it is depressing, it is still acceptable.

The camp at the bottom was unhappy. It drank its porridge with its eyes almost spitting fire, thinking that it must win back next time.

The captain of the Tiger Guard Battalion held a leg of lamb in his hand and deliberately ran to his colleagues to show off.

"Lao Wang, why is this meat so delicious? These 20 sheep brothers can't finish it all. Come over and have a taste together."

"Get lost!" The losing captain was very depressed.

In this way, day after day passed, and a competition was held every seven days. The blood of each army was gradually cultivated, and Li Chengru saw it all.

On this day, the troops were training in the parade ground when they suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses.

"Your Majesty, urgent military information from Mizhou!!"

"Quick, bring it up~"

"It's finally here!" This war is inevitable. Tens of thousands of troops are eyeing Changzhou covetously. Li Chengru has been mentally prepared for a long time.

"Da Li, call all the generals to discuss the matter!"

"Follow me~"

The war machine is about to start moving. This time, Li Chengru decided to use offense and defense at the same time. He cannot wait in Qizhou like a fool. After all, he has finally gained the territory of four states. He must not let those bastards ruin it.

Soldiers and bandits have been inseparable since ancient times, but not all armies can obey orders.

Select the troops and start preparing for the expedition!
Since entering Qizhou, Li Chengru has attached great importance to logistics issues. He never delegates tasks to others and always supervises them personally.

A total of 13,000 people went on this expedition, almost all of them, leaving only 2,000 people to guard Qizhou. All 3,000 cavalrymen were taken away, as there was no point in keeping them in the city.

With the reluctant farewell of the women in his family, Li Chengru put on his armor, mounted his horse, and slowly left Qizhou City with tens of thousands of troops.

The north wind blows the ground and the white grass turns, and Hu Tian snows in August.

This poem by Cen Shen in the previous life described the scenery of the Tang army's border, but the situation in the four border states of Qi was even worse.

The people were pale and thin, looking as if they were malnourished, which was why the battlefield was not held in their own homes.

To be continued...
