Anbei Protectorate.
Although many generals and commanders were discussing happily in the meeting hall, Xu Yunyan still knew what they were capable of.
Not long after, the five thousand magnificent Anbei Army assembled at the campus of the Anbei Protectorate.
Surrounding them were supplies of food and grass prepared by Feng Tao for them.
After the team finished, Xu Yunyan hugged Shi Jin directly.
"Deputy Protector Shi."
Shi Jin also returned the favor.
"The General doesn't know what his plans are?"
Looking at Xu Yunyan's serious face, Shi Jin knew that Xu Yunyan was going to issue his order.
"I am following His Majesty's orders."
Xu Yunyan said this and took out the decree given to him by Li Shimin from his arms and handed it to Shi Jinjin. Shi Jin hurriedly opened it. After confirming it, he rolled it up again and handed it back to Xu Yunyan.
"Master Protector, the troops and horses have been prepared. I wonder when Master Protector will set off?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Shi Jin and said.
"The mission assigned by His Majesty is very urgent, not to mention that there are Western Turks in the north who are eyeing us. We cannot reveal too many changes, so I want to set off immediately."
Shi Jin was a little unhappy at this moment.
"Lord Protector, after finally returning to the Anbei Protectorate, you didn't have a meal and were in a hurry to start your journey. You didn't let us brothers????????????brothers practice it for you. I always feel so guilty!
It happens to be meal time now, so it’s not too late for this meal. "
Xu Yunyan looked at the sun.
Sure enough, it was almost noon just concentrating on chatting.
It was indeed time to have a meal, and let the five thousand Anbei soldiers say goodbye to their relatives.
Of course that's people whose relatives are around here.
Shi Jin kept begging Xu Yunyan to eat. Those generals who returned after gathering their troops were also Shi Jin who agreed here.
Finally Xu Yunyan nodded.
"It's hard to refuse your kindness, so I can't say much, so I'll just have a meal."
After Xu Yunyan's half-joking words, everyone looked at him, "Master Protector is joking, how can you be the one taking advantage of me? You have the final say in the entire Anbei Protector's Mansion, and we are the ones who follow you to make ends meet."
No matter who was following whom to make ends meet, the situation now came to a time when Xu Yunyan needed to appease them.
This saved them from thinking wildly and doing things that caused Datang to suffer losses.
The generals gathered together to eat and drink, and the soldiers also prepared sumptuous food. It may be quite sumptuous in the mainland, but in the north it is mostly meat-based but not so colorful.
After most of the soldiers from Anbei had a free lunch, they apologized to the brothers next to them and began to go home and tell their relatives and friends that they would be away for a while.
Although they didn't know why they left, they knew that they would not suffer any pain if they followed the Anbei Army and the general who led them.
This is obvious to all, and An Beijun has a very good reputation.
At the banquet, Xu Yunyan exchanged glasses with many generals, and of course he once again substituted water for wine.
Many generals also offered water instead of wine in front of Xu Yunyan. They were about to lead their troops out. Wouldn't it be a mistake to drink wine again?
Xu Yunyan drank with them one by one, no, drank with them one by one.
After knocking the wine glasses in their hands one after another to create a drinking atmosphere, they finally came to Li Zhong, the last general of Anbei Army.
Xu Yunyan looked at Li Zhong and smiled.
"Brother, that's great. They told me everything you did. That's great."
On the surface, Xu Yunyan was praising Li Zhong here, but in fact, he was praising Li Zhong here. Li Zhong seemed happy on the surface, but inside he was making huge waves.
What does it have to do with whether I look good or not? I made this all with one knife and one gun. Does it have anything to do with you?
I feel superior to others every day. Do you really think I am easy to bully?
Although Li Zhong looked very cheerful on the surface, he still looked at Xu Yunyan in front of him and thought in his heart that it would be difficult to determine who we were thinking about in the future.
However, just after Xu Yunyan and everyone had finished their polite greetings, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who gathered in the camp and school grounds, although some of them had gone out, had returned after such a long time. They gathered together again and formed a neat queue, ready to fight at any time. Waiting for Xu Yunyan's arrangements.
Seeing that they were almost gathered together, Xu Yunyan raised the water glass in his hand again.
"For my sake, the Tang Dynasty, please drink this cup to the full."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing Xu Yunyan's appearance, everyone couldn't help but raise their thumbs.
"General massive."
Xu Yunyan, who had just drank a glass of water, cracked the corner of his mouth.
"Yes! Massive!"
Xu Yunyan and the Tang soldiers in front of him were laughing and joking here, and everyone was also laughing and joking in front of Xu Yunyan.
After Xu Yunyan put down his wine glass and stood up, Li Yunfei stood up immediately.
Following Li Yunfei were White Tiger General Duan Kun and Suzaku General Feng Wu.
Behind them were Li Chun and Zhang Xia who stood up again.
After everyone stood up, Shi Jin and Feng Tao were the last ones. Xu Yunyan looked at them and spoke loudly.
"Everything is based on the Tang Dynasty."
"Don't worry, Lord Protector. As long as we are here for one day, we will definitely not let anything happen to the Anbei Protectorate."
Just as Shi Jin and Feng Tao finished speaking, Xu Yunyan said the same thing.
"I also hope that the Tang Dynasty will be peaceful and stable for a long time. I am also willing to give everything for the Tang Dynasty. I hope that the Tang Dynasty will be powerful all over the world. However, some things are always unsatisfactory. We can only do what we can, and will do whatever we dare to do with you. Are we enemies and are we in trouble completely solved?"
Shi Jin, Feng Tao and others nodded, and the remaining people present also clasped their fists at Xu Yunyan.
"Take care of yourself, Lord Protector!"
Xu Yunyan felt a little embarrassed under their serious expressions.
"What do you mean by this? Do you think something will definitely happen when you go out this time? This is not appropriate."
After Xu Yunyan's half-joking words, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.
"Master Protector is joking, how dare we say that something will happen if Master Protector goes here, we just need to be prepared for a rainy day."
Xu Yunyan also politely said to them, "It's all done."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out regardless, followed by five generals who walked out with high spirits, making Xu Yunyanbo sigh that this is what a general should look like.
Although when he was in Japan, the same group of generals cheered and supported each other, but they did not make Xu Yunyan feel heavy in his heart and have high expectations for them like the generals did this time.
However, Xu Yunyan was also sighing there, before long, you may have to stir up the Tang Dynasty to show the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.
Xu Yunyan walked out of the hall and got on his horse. Xu Yunyan's war horse Xiaohong might be able to show off his skills. He neighed, raised and fell the horse's hooves, snorted and urged the other generals to get on their horses quickly.
After all the generals sat upright on their horses, Xu Yunyan stepped forward with his hands on the horse's belly, and the other generals followed closely behind, and behind him was the magnificent momentum. The team that was ready moved forward.
One after another, battle flags with Tang characters and flags representing the names of generals were unveiled from the Anbei military camp.
The old and young nomadic Turks who had joined the Anbei Army stood beside their tents and their livestock, praying for them in broken Chinese.
Hope they can hit the ground running.
Seeing such a scene, Xu Yunyan also waved to them on his horse.
In fact, Xu Yunyan was also worried.
In order to ensure the stability of Datang, everything Li Shimin did was too risky. It was exactly the adventurous style of Yang Guang, the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who caused chaos in the world, and then he had the army in his hands to defeat the rebellious officials and traitors in a single battle, but in the end the people's hearts were lost.
It can be said that he killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses!
Xu Yunyan was worried there, when suddenly a loud hawk chirped from the sky. Listening to the sound, Xu Yunyan raised his head, and a dangerous light flashed out of the corner of his eyes.
eagle?
There is an eagle in such a secret place.
Although there are many Turks among Anbei's soldiers, no one is allowed to raise eagles. There are so many soldiers holding bows and spears around here, but there are still eagles?
Xu Yunyan was shocked by this, but after being shocked, he suddenly raised his hand, picked up the precious eagle bow hanging next to the saddle, and pulled out a sharp arrow that shone with cold light, and shot it at the eagle in the sky. .
He can draw the carved bow like the full moon.
Eagle shooting can only be done by the top warriors in Turks.
After Xu Yunyan shot an arrow, the eagle in the sky seemed to have discovered the sharp arrow that was a fatal threat to itself. It flapped its wings, hoping to create a gust of wind and blow the sharp arrow away.
But how could Xu Yunyan, who was angry and feeling very uncomfortable, let this Ying Ping run away from him for no reason?
No matter how the eagle flapped its wings and changed its trajectory, the sharp arrow predicted his prediction and hit the eagle accurately.
Then the eagle fell from the sky spinning in circles.
Seeing Xu Yunyan's archery skills, White Tiger General Duan Kun hurriedly rode towards the place where the eagle fell with a few guards.
What a coincidence that the location was right in front of the road they were traveling. There were no tents around to block their view.
When Duan Kun came to Xu Yunyan with the eagle shot down by Xu Yunyan, there was another person riding a horse behind them. His face looked like a Han man, but he was wearing traditional Turkic clothes and rushed towards them quickly.
However, before he could get closer, Duan Kun's guards had already stopped him aside. Seeing his anxious look, Xu Yunyan felt that there must be something wrong with this.
Take a closer look at the eagle. There is a small bamboo pole tied to the eagle's leg.
There must be something inside the bamboo pole, right?
With this thought, Xu Yunyan got off his horse and came to the side of the eagle. He reached out and pulled out a small note from the bamboo pole. Seeing the note in Xu Yunyan's hand, Duan Kun directly pulled out the weapon from his waist and pointed it at the approaching man. One finger.
"Take him down."
At this moment, the person who was captured by Duan Kun finally reacted.
"General, wait a minute, we are our own!"
"One of our own? Why don't you be one of our own? Don't think that if you look like one of us and say the words we say, you are one of our own."
Just when Duan Kun was talking with a lot of people there, the person in front of him grinned.
"We are really our own people, our own people!"
Seeing that the person in front of him kept saying that he was one of his own, Xu Yunyan did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he immediately opened the note in his hand, and Xu Yunyan trembled instantly.
"Let him go quickly."
This suddenly surprised Duan Kun again.
"What's going on? Is this really one of our own?"
Just when Duan Kun couldn't help but wonder whether the person in front of him was one of his own, Xu Yunyan looked at the person who had not released his weapon and said something.
"Why are you still standing there in a daze? This is one of our own, really one of our own. Let him go quickly!"
Xu Yunyan spoke again, finally making Duan Kun and others react, and reluctantly put away the weapons in their hands.
"How could it be one of our own? Is this eagle our messenger?"
As soon as Duan Kun finished speaking, they saw Xu Yunyan's face was filled with embarrassment.
