Outside Chang'an City, as the army continued to gather, more and more people and horses came. At night, not only Chang'an City was brightly lit, but also outside the city. The continuous lights filled the mountains and plains, indicating the power of the Tang Dynasty!
As the expedition day approaches, Luo Zhang spends more and more time at home.
He has already taken care of most of the outside matters and arranged everything that should be arranged. Even if he leaves Chang'an for a short time, there will be no trouble.
During this expedition to Goguryeo, Luo Zhang took no one else except Shibaqi and Su Dingfang. Both Wu Shaobin and Chen Kuifeng were left behind in Chang'an by Luo Zhang.
Chang'an is his foundation, and with the improvement of his strength, Luo Zhang is confident that he can handle it even if something happens. If he can't handle it, even if he brings Chen Kuifeng and Wu Shaobin with him, it will be useless.
On the contrary, keeping them at home will be more useful. After all, Sun Simiao cannot keep an eye on foreign enemies all the time, nor can he act as bodyguards when his family goes out. All of this still needs people to do it. Wu Shaobin and Chen Kuifeng are the most suitable candidates. , Besides, the properties in the family also need to be guarded, and now they can no longer be separated from these two people.
Royal Pier, today the Royal Navy is about to go to sea ahead of schedule. This time it will not only include offshore ships, but also the four offshore ships that have just been built. These four ships will naturally become the main force, and the fleet will be led by It was Liu Renyuan who did his part.
Liu Rengui went to South Vietnam and has not returned yet. Sun Renshi is still stationed in Huating County to supervise the construction of the seaport in Huating County.
Liu Renyuan's trip to sea this time was not aimless, but with a mission. His mission was to clear out all Goguryeo's ships and attack all Goguryeo's ports, not giving them the opportunity to borrow power from outside, and at the same time cutting off their defeat. A chance to escape from the sea.
Of course, if they encounter a Japanese fleet, Luo Zhang's order is to kill them!
The Japanese invaded the Tang Dynasty several times. How could such a cancer remain? Once Goguryeo was dealt with, Luo Zhang's next target was Japan.
On the Royal Pier, watching the departing fleet and listening to the cheers of the people around him, a sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously. This was a fleet he created with his own hands. It is not well-known yet, but soon he will make this fleet famous. Spread all over the world!
With far-sea ships and artillery, Luo Zhang is confident that he can do this.
"Let's go back to the city!" Luo Zhang turned around and said to Wu Shaobin who was following him.
When Luo Zhang returned to the city, he did not go home directly. Instead, he turned around and headed towards Yanlai Tower, where Li Yifu was still waiting for him.
When Luo Zhang arrived at Yanlai Tower, Li Yifu had already arrived and was waiting respectfully in the box on the second floor.
Seeing Luo Zhang's arrival, Li Yifu hurriedly stood up and greeted him respectfully: "Sir!"
Luo Zhang waved his hand and said, "How do you understand the situation in Goguryeo?"
"According to the research these days, Goguryeo is also preparing for war. The leader of the battle this time should be Su Wen Gaiyuan!" Li Yifu reported back.
"Huh? It's him?" Luo Zhang raised his eyebrows. Luo Zhang naturally knew that this guy was the most brave general in Goguryeo and the source of cholera in Goguryeo. If it weren't for him, Goguryeo would not have been destroyed so quickly.
It's Su Wen Gaiyuan who leads the army, so this is a bit interesting.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhang waved, and Li Yifu hurriedly came over. He heard Luo Zhang whisper for a while, and then Li Yifu widened his eyes and said, "Sir, is this absolutely true?"
"Just do what I say. As for whether it's true or false, does it matter?" Luo Zhang said with a mysterious smile.
"Yes, sir, I will order someone to do it now!" Li Yifu said with a smile on his lips.
After Li Yifu left, Luo Zhang went directly to the cellar. Since he was leaving, he naturally had to fill the cellar. The prince's barbecue restaurant needed to get goods every day, so he couldn't cut off the prince's business.
Fortunately, Luo Zhang had enough points and spent more than one million to finally fill the cellar. As for how to store it with ice, that was Zhao Tianhu's problem. He didn't have the time to take care of that much.
After receiving another five hundred thousand taels of income, Luo Zhang left Yan Lailou and returned home.
Time passed, and finally it was the day to send out troops. Luo Zhang got up early, washed up, and put on his armor with Mei Niang waiting on him.
As the first batch of vanguard troops, Luo Zhang naturally had to go first. Moreover, he did not trust others to escort the artillery, not to mention Hu Luanyao, the Goguryeo guide, who also had to follow. Luo Zhang could not make the second batch before leaving. .
When Luo Zhang walked out of the door, the Eighteen Cavalry were already waiting outside. Not only the Eighteen Cavalry, but also the entire Luo Mansion stood outside the door to see Luo Zhang off respectfully, even Sun Simiao.
Last night Luo Zhang had another heart-to-heart talk with Sun Simiao, the old poisoner. In short, Luo Zhang didn't have to worry about his family before Luo Zhang came back. Sun Simiao had temporarily consolidated his realm. Princess Yicheng wanted to practice and would not leave for a short time. This made Luo Zhang feel at ease. few.
Before leaving, the old poison gave him some good things again, and put them in the tent before going to bed. Even if he was assassinated by a master, it would be fine. Luo Zhang naturally accepted all the good things that came to him.
