Parting is always sad. After Luo Zhang hugged his children, he rode away under the reluctant eyes of his daughters, grandma and others.
By the time Luo Zhang arrived outside the city, the army had been mobilized. This time Li Shimin did not hold any swearing-in meeting, but just set up a stage outside the city, called the generals to encourage them, and ordered the army to set off in anticipation of their triumphant return.
Of course, Luo Zhang was given a private conversation, and Luo Zhang was asked not to be reckless, and to explain to Luo Zhang that his battlefield was not about fighting in battle.
Luo Zhang naturally knows what His Majesty means, which is to control the artillery, a big killer, without making any mistakes. Only Luo Zhang understands this thing. If he is not responsible, who will be responsible?
Luo Zhang naturally has no objection to this. The last time he attacked the Turks in the north, he had to do it as a last resort and led troops to rush in. If it weren't for some things in the system, Luo Zhang would still be injured no matter how powerful he was and frostbite was inevitable. .
If he is killed this time, he will not risk going into battle to kill the enemy again. Wouldn't it be nice to bombard the enemy with artillery? Going into battle to kill the enemy? nonexistent!
In addition to the Eighteen Cavalry, Luo Zhang was accompanied by Hu Luanyao. She was dressed as a man and wore a mask. Even if her parents saw her, they would not recognize her as their daughter.
This is also done to avoid suspicion. After all, it is not good to tell anyone about a woman in the army. What's more, if a general like Luo Zhang takes a woman on an expedition, those who don't know think that Luo Zhang is hungry.
The army marched forward, but nothing happened. Luo Zhang was in the rear. Apart from letting the Eighteen Cavalry keep an eye on the artillery, he himself took Su Dingfang hunting and wandering around every day.
To be honest, Luo Zhang had never really walked around when he came to Datang. This expedition to Goguryeo was not short, and it would be a long journey to reach the front. Luo Zhang didn't want to discuss the march with a bunch of old guys all day long. Although he knows a lot about the problem, it's not like he's not in the right place yet, and he's not in a hurry. Talking about it now is just talk on paper.
For this expedition to Goguryeo, Li Shimin mobilized a total of 300,000 troops. This was the largest number of troops he could mobilize, which shows that he attached great importance to Goguryeo.
The vanguard army has an army of 100,000, which is twice as many as the troops of the Northern Expedition to the Turks.
Regarding Luo Zhang's neglect of his job, Cheng Yaojin had a headache and wanted to take care of it, but Luo Zhang's answer left him speechless. Do you want to eat roasted game?
Just this sentence made Cheng Yaojin, who originally wanted to take care of it, too lazy to take care of it. Anyway, with him in control of the army, nothing would happen. Luo Zhang can just hunt. This is still the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so what will happen? Besides, There is also an extra meal in the evening, so why not!
From this day on, Luo Zhang followed the army and spent most of his time away from the team, running through the mountains and forests with his long bow.
This can bring disaster to the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests. Whatever Luo Zhang sees, he raises his hand and shoots an arrow, and then the guards load the prey onto a cart.
Every day, the cart would be full, so Luo Zhang would put his bow back and cook delicious food for dinner.
Just when Luo Zhang was following the army on the expedition to Gaoguli, in the south, on a beach somewhere in the land of South Vietnam, wooden boats rowed here from a short distance from the sea, and a soldier who was waiting for his arrival got off the wooden boat.
As soon as they came down, these soldiers were swaying on their feet, and their bodies seemed to be out of control. They fell to the ground and then vomited heavily.
The soldiers driving the ships watched all this with a smile.
These people are none other than Liu Rengui's fleet, which took more than half a month of sailing to reach South Vietnam.
The one who vomited just after getting off the ship was Feng Jiajun. These people were not sailors in the first place. They had been bumpy at sea for more than half a month. It was normal for them to be like this after getting off the ship. They were completely incomparable with the well-trained sailors of the Royal Navy.
When all the people and horses were transported to the shore, Liu Rengui's mission was completed, but Liu Rengui did not leave immediately, but returned to the warship.
The order he received was not only to transport these Feng Jiajun here, but also to find the place in South Vietnam that the Lord said was suitable for building a seaport. When the Feng Jiajun defeated the South Vietnamese, he would have to supervise the construction of a seaport here.
Of course, he doesn't have to stay here forever, but he can't leave in the early stages.
On the ship, Liu Rengui stood on the bow and looked up into the distance. He couldn't help but feel a little funny when he watched the soldiers on the shore stumbling up.
The general on the side said in a low voice: "Master Liu, why should this land in South Vietnam be given to the Feng family? Mr. Luo can definitely take it for himself, right?"
"So what if we grab it? We still have to have people guard this place. Instead of sending people here to work hard, it's better to let the Feng family watch here. We can get a lot of benefits just by running on both sides. Isn't that right? Better!" Liu Rengui explained to his men what Luo Zhang said to him.
After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they all praised Liu Rengui for his foresight. This made Liu Rengui feel a little ashamed. It would be great if he knew so much.
The Feng family finally got used to the seasickness and could stand up and form a team. Liu Rengui waved his hand and the ship slowly left. He still had his mission to find the port that Luo Zhang told him. This battle would be fought for a while. Rather than waste time here, it is better to first find a place suitable for building a seaport.
