A piece of paper orders the expedition to the north, and hundreds of thousands of bear bears surge like a tidal wave; the troops have set their sights on the sky, and they hate the voices of their sons and daughters.
Although the message seems short-lived, I feel the lightness of the horse's hooves as soon as I sit in the saddle; I am reminded to read the latest newspaper in time, and the frequent and quick words also make me feel refreshed.
War always happens when people least expect it.
In early March of the 11th year of Zhenguan, Song Zanganbu sent troops to Tuyuhun on the grounds that Tubo was refused permission to use the road.
At this time, Tubo's national power was on the rise. In recent times, it has become stronger and cannibalized other countries. It has a vast territory and hundreds of thousands of soldiers... which shows its strength.
Tuyuhun had just suffered a devastating blow from the Tang army in the ninth year of Zhenguan (AD 635). Its national power was weak and civil strife continued.
Murong Shun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, was killed by his subordinates because he had been in the Sui Dynasty for a long time and his countrymen did not follow him.
His son, King Nuohebo of Yan, succeeded him. Because Nuohebo was young, ministers fought for power, and the country was in chaos.
The strength of the two sides was one strong and the other weak. The difference was very obvious. In just a few days, Tubo drove Tuyuhun to the western border.
However, Tubo, which had assembled 200,000 troops, did not entangle with Tuyuhun. Instead, it turned east and advanced directly towards Songzhou in the Tang Dynasty. The clouds of war hung over the sky of the Tang Dynasty.
Because it had been prepared in advance, Datang's powerful war machine started instantly.
Li Shimin ordered Hou Junji to be the general manager of the march on Dangmidao, with the right-leading general Zhi Husili as Bailandao, the left-wing Wuwei general Niu Jinda as Kuoshui Road, the left-leading general Liu Lan as the general-in-chief of the Taohe Road march, and the princes Li Chengqian and Wei Wang Li Tai and Wu Wang Li Ke each commanded 100,000 infantry and cavalry to meet the enemy.
Yang Fan, Marquis of Zhongyi, was in charge of the grain and fodder escort, Chang Sun Chong was the accompanying army commander Shi, and a group of second-generation Chang'an escort officials were already in charge of the escort team and were ready to go.
In addition to a large battalion transferred from Youweiwei, the soldiers who sent troops to Tibet to escort the grain and grass were also accompanied by some accompanying personnel, such as subjective guards and farmers carrying coolies.
In the Guanzhong area, the reform of the government army system has achieved results. They serve the people in leisure time and serve as soldiers in war. This is the government army system of the Tang Dynasty.
But war is cruel...
The luminous cup of grape wine, I want to drink the pipa immediately; Lord Don’t laugh while lying drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times?
In the tense and solemn atmosphere of the expedition, the sobs of his wife and children, and the old man's warnings filled Chang'an with the sorrow of farewell and grief.
This expedition also caused a panic in the Yang family.
After all, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and no one knows what will happen.
Therefore, not only the women in the house were present, but also Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai, Li Siwen, Xiao Shiyun and other friends came to see Yang Fan off.
In front of the Yang Mansion, Wu Shun could no longer care about the secular world. He looked at Yang Fan with tears streaming down his face and complained:
"My sister-in-law is already a marquis at a young age, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and a civil servant. How can I risk my life on the battlefield?"
"Besides, Mei Niang hasn't left a heir for Yang Mansion yet, and you are not covered by the conscription regulations. How will we, sisters, survive if you become a fool?"
Saying goodbye to her previous fearful life, and being constantly nourished by Yang Fan, Wu Shun looked extremely charming.
A pair of charming pear blossoms make people feel pitiful and pity her.
After finally living a happy life, Yang Fan had to go to the battlefield. How could she not be worried?
Yang Fan is her sky. Now, the sky is about to collapse, how can Wu Shun not be worried.
At this time, Xiao Shiyun also came to Yang Fan with red eyes and explained: "Brother Yang, as the chief officer escorting grain and grass, has a heavy responsibility, and he is most likely to be targeted by the enemy. No matter what time, don't let everyone worry..."
"Even if something goes wrong with the food and grass, it's not a big deal. You have to take care of your health. If the food and grass are gone, let's just raise them again. You have done great service to the court and are the future prince-in-law. Even if you become a deserter, others will not dare to do so." What to do with you..."
It's true that these women haven't even gone on an expedition yet. They are either worried about life or death, or they say they are deserters when they encounter danger. What is the difference between this and Princess Gaoyang?
In the hearts of these women, are they so unbearable? Yang Fan was immediately depressed.
As a passionate young man, Fang Yiai quit the job and directly retorted: "It is a supreme honor to go to war for the country. I think that my great dynasty was harmed by barbarians. As a man of the Tang Dynasty, even if I was wrapped in horse leather, my blood would still be shed on the battlefield. If not Brother Yishan asked me to prepare a caravan to go to sea, and I want to ask His Majesty for a battle... Oh, who dares to attack me?"
Before he finished showing off, banging balls landed on his head.
At this time, Li Siwen had an angry face, widened his eyes and scolded: "You only know how to make sarcastic remarks. If I don't beat you to death, why don't you go by yourself?"
With that said, he beat Fang Yiai again.
Fang Yiai complained endlessly!
He just wanted to act heroic in front of his goddess Xiao Shiyun, but he didn't know he would offend the public.
Seeing the evil look in the eyes of the girls, they could only cover their heads and endure it silently, not daring to resist.
Cheng Chumo and the others, who originally wanted to say a few words of encouragement, quickly shut up.
There is no other way, the Yishan brothers' women's army is too powerful.
If we really let this group of women’s soldiers take notice of them, where will they be entertained with good wine and good food in the future?
But a few people were filled with envy.
It would be a great blessing for an ordinary person to have a woman.
Not to mention fighting on the battlefield, he would not even frown even if he went up the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire.
What's more, this brother Yishan's beauty is quite good. In addition to these stunning beauties, the princess who has not yet married is also not bad.
How about having such a rare group of beauties by your side, so what if you sacrifice your life and blood?
Wu Meiniang waved her hand to stop Li Siwen's beating, and came to Yang Fan with large and small packages.
He adjusted Yang Fan's armor that shone with cold light, his eyes were full of obsession, and his red lips murmured to himself: "My husband is so mighty!"
Yang Fan chuckled and said: "Of course, your husband, I not only slapped the prince and kicked the prince, but also completely conquered two demon foxes last night. You can be called the best hero in Chang'an City..."
"Is there a fox demon in this world? How come I haven't seen it before?" Fang Yiai had dark circles under her eyes and was full of doubts.
Such a question immediately made Wu Meiniang and Wu Shun look even more shy.
The thought of last night's absurdity was simply earth-shattering and made people blush.
If Yang Fan was not going to go on an expedition today, they pushed themselves up and wished they could sleep for a few days and nights.
Wu Meiniang quickly glanced at Yang Fan who was not in formal form, wrinkled her nose and said coquettishly: "Husband..."
Yang Fan gave Fang Yiai a hard look. This guy was so ignorant. Didn't he know that this was a love story between husband and wife?
With such an incomprehensible style, it’s no wonder that in the original history, she stupidly guarded the gate for Princess Gaoyang.
Ignoring this guy, Yang Fan took Wu Mei Niang's white little hand and said sternly: "Mei Niang, don't worry, just wait at home for your husband to come back. Don't worry, the person who wants a certain life in this world has not been born yet!"
