"Brother He Ruo, you should find a place to settle down first, and don't go to Zhang Jincheng rashly. All the troops from all walks of life in the court are gathering in Zhuo County. It's better to be patient at this time."

Li Xian said sincerely.

He Ruozhongshan nodded and said: "Anzhi, don't worry, you guys should be more careful when you go to Youzhou. In fact, I still think I should go with you. It would be easier to do things with more people."

Li Xian shook his head and said: "Brother He Ruo's kindness is accepted by me, but it is better to go to Youzhou this time with fewer people. There are tens of thousands of strong teams in Youzhou. Compared with going to ten people, it is better to go to Youzhou. On the contrary, it is more beneficial to have fewer people. Don't worry, we will not act rashly. I have never been interested in such things as sending to death."

He Ruozhongshan smiled and said: "That's good, take care!"

Li Xian hummed, and slowly said three words: "To live."

He Ruozhongshan nodded heavily, got on his horse and said, "I picked nineteen best horses among the Turkic war horses, and I will treat them as parting gifts for everyone."

He glanced enviously at Li Xian's big black horse, and then said to Li Xian, "Of course, not yours."

Li Xian laughed loudly, waved his hands and said, "Bon voyage!"

He Ruozhongshan also waved his hand, and led more than 100 brothers under him to ride away on horseback.Li Xian and the others watched He Ruozhongshan's leaving back until the smoke cleared.

Li Xian took Ou Siqingqing's hand and said: "Go to Xiaodi and the others with Grandpa obediently, be obedient. It's not that I don't want to take you with me, you know, if I take you with me, I won't be able to let go. I miss you in my heart." , to do things with hands tied. When I come back from Youzhou, I will look for you, half a year at the latest."

Ou Siqingqing, who had already discussed and cried before, was strong and did not shed tears at the moment.She squeezed Li Xian's hand and said, "Anzhi, I will listen to you. I will count the days and wait for you. Don't lie to me, you know?"

Li Xian smiled, straightened the hair on Ou Siqing's forehead and said: "This time, I will definitely not lie to you."

Ou Siqingqing nodded, hugged Li Xian's arm and rubbed her sore nose, suddenly smiled and said: "I won't be your burden, you have to...come to me as soon as possible."

Li Xian patted the back of her hand and nodded, looked at Zhang Zhongjian and said, "Grandpa, you must be careful on the road."

Zhang Zhongjian took a horse casually, jumped on the back of the horse and said to Li Xian: "I see, mother-in-law and mother are so fucking mean, we have to go too, don't be shy, Qingqing, let's go!"

Ou Siqingqing hummed, and Li Xian carried her on the horseback, and the two looked at each other with deep reluctance in their eyes.

Ou Siqing said: "Anzhi, take care of yourself."

Li Xian nodded silently, walked slowly to Zhang Zhongjian and stopped.He took a deep breath, and then slowly and solemnly said something that made Zhang Zhongjian want to beat him up.

"Grandfather, I wish you and your aunt an early birth to a precious son."

After finishing speaking, Li Xian jumped out like a rabbit and ran to the side of the big black horse, jumped up, stretched out his hand and patted the big black horse's buttocks hard.The big black horse chirped twice in dissatisfaction, and then ran out with all four hooves.He ran so crisply and neatly, which once again made people admire his ability to escape.The Blood Riders and Tie Futu's horse thief clasped their fists at Zhang Zhongjian at the same time, then got on their horses and chased after 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 Siqing: "Let's go, don't worry, Anzhi will be fine, no matter what happens to him. In half a year, he will appear in front of you in good health. "

The girl stubbornly waited until he was no longer in sight, then turned around, and said something to Zhang Zhongjian that touched his heart: "Grandfather, let's go."

Her name is Grandpa.

Li Xian drove the big black horse and galloped all the way, even if the horses behind him were all famous horses, they couldn't catch up with him.While running wildly, the strong wind blew away a little soreness from the corners of his eyes.

Ahhhhh!

Li Xian yelled a few times frantically, dispelling the depression in his chest.

Including him, looking into the distance, eighteen riders swept away the wind and clouds.

Youzhou

In the mansion of General Hu Benlang in Youzhou, a messenger who rushed back from the south, bowed to Luo Yi, who was reading with his head down behind the desk, and said, "General, Your Majesty has left Dongdu 20 days ago. Under the escort of the Son of Heaven's six armies, they are slowly heading north, and the armies from all walks of life have also assembled and set off with the Son of Heaven's chariot."

Luo Yi put down the book in his hand, raised his head slowly and asked, "What did Pei Ju say?"

The messenger said: "He said to reassure the general, His Majesty has ordered you to guard Youzhou. The expedition to Goguryeo will not mobilize our soldiers from Youzhou."

Luo Yi let out a long sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Got it, go down and have a good rest."

The messenger bowed and retreated.

Luo Yi stood up, reached out and pushed the window open to look outside.At this time, it has come to September of the seventh year of Daye, and autumn has entered, and the annoying heat is no longer in the wind, and it feels very refreshing and comfortable to blow on the body.Because he was sure that the unpredictable His Majesty would not transfer Youzhou soldiers and horses, Luo Yi finally felt at ease.Youzhou soldiers and horses were trained by him through hard work over the years, and they are the foundation for him to settle down in the future. He is not optimistic about His Majesty's personal conquest of Goguryeo this time, so you must not let Youzhou soldiers participate in the battle.

Over the years, they have tried their best to get the imperial court to more than double the supplies to the Youzhou soldiers, and forcefully withhold the taxes that should be handed over to the imperial court by the government near Youzhou for their own use.Even so, it was only an addition of 2 lightly armored infantry in addition to the five thousand armored cavalry raised as if they were burning money.But in fact, the money spent on those [-] pawns was less than one-tenth of the [-] tiger armor.

But even so, Youzhou's soldiers and horses could no longer be expanded.He has no right to withhold all the money and food in Zhuo County, and he doesn't have the guts to do so now.The consumption of armored cavalry is too great, it is too big to rely on Youzhou alone to support it, and even if the imperial court doubles the supply of tiger and cardinal armor, Luo Yi still has no money in his hands, because, in the Ministry of War According to the report, there are only 3000 people in Huben Jingjia.

The extra 2000 people were expanded by what he could call austerity.

With armored cavalry, everyone has to wear iron armor weighing more than forty pounds during training and fighting, so they must be strong and brave warriors.The war horses also need to wear full armor, so they must also choose the best horses.In order to ensure physical strength, armored cavalry must eat well, both meat and vegetables must be guaranteed.The fodder for war horses must also be the best, plus fine grains that even ordinary people are reluctant to eat.

An armored cavalry, except for his own horse.There must also be a rough horse to carry the equipment, a servant to take care of his daily life and weapons and armor, and a groom to serve the horse.In other words, the 5000-strong Huben Jingjia, including the retinues, grooms, auxiliary soldiers, and logistics personnel, has an actual establishment of more than 2 people.This required a huge amount of wealth to maintain, and this was Luo Yi's biggest headache.

There is no doubt that the combat power of armored cavalry is unparalleled in the world.No matter how arrogant the barbarians on the prairie were, if they saw the Sui armored cavalry from a distance, they would be frightened and run away like frightened birds and beasts.However, raising such a cavalry is simply not something that one state and one county can afford.

If the armored cavalry that cost countless financial and material resources and Luo Yi's countless efforts were transferred to Liaodong, Luo Yi would feel distressed to death.

Fortunately, that huge fortune of [-] guan was not in vain.

Luo Yi stood at the window, looking at the lush green trees outside, his eyes gradually became hot.

It's time to get ready.

The world is about to be in chaos, and the most elite cavalry in the world must be used on the battlefield where it should be used.In the past, it was used to defend the country, and it was the strongest portal of the Sui Dynasty.As for where the tiger ben fine armor will appear in the future...

"Report!"

The voice of his subordinates came from the door of the study, and Luo Yi was a little annoyed when his thoughts were interrupted.He turned around impatiently and said, "Say, what's the matter!"

"General, the people sent to Yanshan have returned."

Luo Yi hummed and said, "Where is he? Bring him to my study."

Not long after, a few soldiers walked into Luo Yi's study, knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinates pay respects to the general!"

Luo Yi nodded and said, "Tell me, what happened on Yanshan Mountain!"

One of them bowed his head and said: "The subordinates followed those horse thieves to Yuyang County two years ago, and then followed them to Yanshan. The subordinates have been watching their whereabouts and dare not slack off. But, no I know why the court's Longting Guard found Yanshan Mountain and fought with those horse thieves. During the period, Longting Guard's people killed a few of us. Last month, at least 1000 Longting Guards arrived in Yanshan, and happened to catch up with the Turks People fought with Zhang Zhongjian's horse thieves. Long Tingwei killed all the Turks and then chased Zhang Zhongjian and others. Our people were all killed on the periphery, so later, whether Zhang Zhongjian and the others were killed, the subordinates did not know. .”

"Long Tingwei?"

Luo Yi murmured: "People from Wenjie? How did they find Tiefutu?"

"General, my subordinates think that if their whereabouts were not leaked, the people sent by the court would never find them. The horse thieves who have followed Tiefutu in the past two years have also tried their best to not be dumped. Those horse thieves are very careful. , leaving almost no traces to be traced."

"Is there anyone else staring at the Iron Buddha?"

Luo Yi asked: "Can you guess who is also watching the whereabouts of Tie Futu?"
