"Haha, so that's it."
Immediately, Zhang Qi chuckled.
Tian Zhong heard Zhang Qi's laughter and asked with some confusion: "Your Majesty seems a little happy?"
Zhang Qi glared at him: "What's so happy about this? Before the war came, these border guards were still making noises about accompanying the army. As a Han lieutenant, I am so happy?!"
"Forehead"
Tanaka pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"Ayan."
"exist."
"Go up and send the message that I am here."
"promise!"
After receiving the order, Ayan immediately stepped forward and approached the entrance of the school ground.
He took out a token from his arms and shouted to the soldiers guarding the entrance.
"The Marquis of Liao didn't even pay homage and let him go!"
The dozen or so defenders guarding the entrance to the school grounds looked at me and I looked at you. They quickly pulled away their horses and other objects, then ran towards Zhang Qi and knelt down to pay homage.
The movement at the entrance made many soldiers in the school field look at it. They were startled when they saw the fluttering banner with the word "kai" among the guards, and then formed a formation and came forward to pay homage.
"I'll wait to see the Marquis of Liao!"
"Well, everyone, get up."
Zhang Qi raised his hand: "I was listening to the quarrel in the school grounds before. Why, why don't you want to go with me to conquer the Huns?"
"It was the unlucky guy who got the lottery and took a step closer."
"It's someone."
A strong man stood up reluctantly and took a few steps closer and said.
Zhang Qi looked at him and smiled: "You have such a strong body for nothing, why don't you dare to fight with the Huns?"
The strong man glanced at Zhang Qi and said with some frustration: "It's not that I don't dare to report back to the Marquis of Liao, but they are too bullying! Every time there is dirty work, it is done by soldiers from a certain school, and I don't accept it! "
The strong man was straightforward, without any twists and turns, which made several people in the Yunzhong defenders change their expressions.
"Hahaha, you have a cheerful personality. I like it. What is your name?"
"Reporting to the Marquis of Liao, the fourth eldest son in the general's family will be called Zhao Si."
"Okay, Zhao Si, have you heard about my deeds?"
Zhang Qi suppressed his smile. The name Zhao Si reminded him of the Asian Dance King.
"I have heard of it, that the Marquis of Liao fought against the Xiongnu and captured the two Xiongnu kings alive."
Speaking of Zhang Qi's deeds, Zhao Si became more energetic and wished he was there at that time.
"Since you have heard about me, why don't you want to go with me on the expedition?"
"You idiot, those people give you achievements, but you don't want them?"
Zhang Qi casually pointed out something, and a bright light flashed in Zhao Si's eyes. Yes, he was following Zhang Qi, the famous general who had never failed.
Isn’t this military merit given away in vain?
After figuring out the key, Zhao Si was overjoyed and knelt down again: "The last general is willing to follow the Liao Marquis on the expedition!"
Zhang Qi's words were naturally heard by a kind of cloud defender. Seeing Zhao Si kneel down to express his wish, the soldiers in his school also knelt down one after another.
"I am willing to go on an expedition with the Marquis of Liao!"
"Well, I understand. Everyone, please get up."
"Zhao Si, right?"
"Marquis of Liao."
Zhao Si stood up and held his hands.
"Take your people to the Liaodong Army station."
"promise!"
"Brothers, come out!"
The soldiers of his school walked out of the school grounds and followed Zhao Si.
The people waiting for Zhao Si went in the direction of the Liaodong Army.
The smile on Zhang Qi's face turned cold.
"I don't like you very much. Guard the Great Wall in the Clouds. If it is attacked by the Huns, you can come and see me!"
After saying that, Zhang Qi turned the horse's head.
He came here to find Huo Qubing and Li Ze.
Now that something like this has happened, there is no trace of the two of them. I am afraid that the two of them have not arrived in the clouds yet.
Since they haven't come yet, he will go to the Liaodong Army station to wait.
After all, both Li Ze and Zhang Bo were appointed military supervisors by Liu Che. Without their orders to mobilize troops, Zhang Qi would not be able to take many of the garrison troops from the border counties with him.
——
It’s half a month again.
Although Zhang Qi received the order to send troops outside the wall immediately.
But this does not mean immediately, but after reorganizing the troops, we will go out.
Half a month's time.
Li Ze, Huo Qubing and Zhang Bo also arrived at Yunzhong County with the defenders from other counties.
Including Zhang Qi's Liaodong Army, the total number of soldiers was nearly 60,000.
As for the people recruited from western Liaoning, Zhang Qi sent them back and recruited them again from the three counties of Yunzhong, Beiping and Shanggu, and gathered more than 60,000 people.
A total of 120,000 troops, known to the outside world as 200,000.
Everything is ready.
Zhang Qi completed the army's order at Mao o'clock the next day, and then left the fortress!
After all these days, it’s already mid-April.
The snow on the grassland has almost melted, and everything is revived again.
Hundreds of thousands of people were divided into four armies and moved.
Zhang Qi, Zhang Bo, Huo Qubing, and Li Ze each led an army alone.
Huo Qubing's former army, Li Ze's left army, and Zhang Bo's right army.
Zhang Qi is both the central army and the rear army.
After entering the grassland, Zhang Qi and others were in full force.
What they need to do this time is to contain the Huns.
Yi Zhixie knew it, Hu Shui knew it, and Zhang Qi also knew it.
Therefore, Zhang Qi did not care about the actions of Li Ze and others, but led the Liaodong Army to move slowly.
It can be regarded as the accumulation of marching experience.
After wandering on the grassland for more than twenty days, I don't know if Yi Zhixie decided to obey Hu Shui's orders. Anyway, today, twenty days later, Zhang Qi and the others encountered the Huns.
And there are a lot of them!
Li Ze and Uncle Zhang were shocked at the same time.
Both of them wrote letters one after another to be sent back to Chang'an.
Zhang Qi's people discovered it and wanted to stop it, but Zhang Qi stopped him.
"Let them deliver it, and the show will begin."
Then his eyes flickered as if he thought of something fun, and he gave instructions to the people around him.
"Ask Huo Qubing to come see me."
"promise!"
Half an hour later.
Huo Qubing came on horseback. After dismounting, he took off his helmet and tucked it under his arm, and entered Zhang Qi's tent.
"The last general Huo Qubing pays homage to the general!"
"I'm so angry, why are you being so polite!"
Zhang Qi pretended to be unhappy.
Huo Qubing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Zhang Qi sighed.
"Alas, I know that Your Majesty does not trust me. The purpose of letting you and others go out with me this time is just to attract the attention of the Huns."
"Li Ze and Uncle Zhang have both made moves. Based on my experience in leading troops, do they think I don't know about it?"
"Haha, this seems to be a bit underestimating me."
"More than a month after the march, Li Ze sent four letters and Zhang Bo sent three letters. These princes know everything about it, but I didn't stop them."
"No matter what your Majesty's impression of me is, I am worthy of being a man!"
"Captain."
Zhang Qiyi's mixed words made Huo Qubing feel even more uncomfortable.
Others didn't know it, but he knew it. In His Majesty's heart, the Marquis of Liao was already the next one to be pulled out to establish his power.
"There is no need to do this to cure a sick child, I already know it!"
"Although His Majesty means to let us contain the Huns, the opportunity to fight must not be missed. Go sick, I want you to do something!"
"Please give me the captain's orders!"
Zhang Qi stood up, came to a large sand table, and pointed at one of the mountains towards Huo Qubing.
"Go sick, this is the holy land of the Huns' royal court. I want you to lead a strange army and plow the court and sweep the caves all the way to there. Then, on my behalf, I will offer sacrifices to Tianlang Juxu Mountain. I have informed all the late emperors of the Han Dynasty. , to show my sincerity towards the big man!"
"I wish you could get rid of your sick child!"
Touched by Zhang Qi's emotional expression before, and now moved by his sincere heart, Huo Qubing spoke righteously.
"The general will go where he wishes!"
"good!"
"Wang Li! Dispatch three thousand Liaodong elite cavalry and obey General Huo's orders!"
"promise!"
