This is the same as his previous plan. In history, Zhang Wen really wanted to transfer troops to the west of Liaoning, which caused Zhang Chun's dissatisfaction. The southern Xiongnu borrowed troops, but Yu Fuluo came to support, and the tribe behind them rebelled, which further deteriorated the situation.

During the period, Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, was also killed by the way, which was also the opportunity for Ding Yuan to take office later.

He took advantage of this opportunity to keep giving performances to the court. As a result, Liu Hong would think of himself when selecting candidates.I don't know if this counts as a change of position, anyway, he has now received the exact edict.

Not only that, but Qian Fu also gave him half of the Tiger Talisman. He has half of the Tiger Talisman. Now the combination of the two means that he has the right to send troops to the expedition.Otherwise, if he dared to lead his troops out of Yunzhong County without authorization, others would dare to say that he was rebellious the next moment.

"It's simple. We'll prepare for these two days, and then set off immediately!" Liu Tao laughed, "Qian Huangmen, why don't you stay here for two days and then go south together?"

The road must be different. He will go up the Dang and enter Hedong, then go directly to Hangu Pass via Hedong, and then enter Chang'an.According to Qian Fu, it is estimated that he went south from Hanoi to Henan Yin, and finally returned to Luoyang.

But no matter what, the road before is the same.

"The prefect is very kind, but Qian is disrespectful." Of course Qian Fu was very happy, and he was trembling all the way north, especially when he passed the Taihang Mountains, for fear that a group of thieves would suddenly jump out and kill him.

It was true that there were five guards by his side, but he still felt unsafe after all.

For the next two days, Liu Tao just ordered, and the people below immediately started to get busy. The army began to assemble and prepare, and the supplies began to be deployed. Anyway, this plan was originally planned, so it only took about two days, and everything was ready. .

During this period, I had to go back to accompany Cai Yan and Zhen Jiang well, and feed Ren Hongchang by the way.

It's not excessive, but it's still working hard, and I don't know if I will hear the news that someone is pregnant when I come back.Thinking that I will be away for a few months, I am still somewhat worried.

No wonder in medieval Europe, when the nobles went to war, they would think of wearing some kind of belt for their women.It's just that according to China's traditional education, Liu Tao believes in his own woman.

Not to mention, Cai Yong was originally the author of "Women's Training", so he still attaches great importance to this aspect.

"Yan Liang, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei will follow me..." Liu Tao thought for a while, "Guo Jia and Du Xi will follow the army, and the rest will stay behind."

Zhang He, Wen Chou, Cheng Lian and Guan Yu had to stay behind. Although they knew that Xianbei would not go south, someone had to stay behind.

Before the expedition, Liu Tao had to come to Lu Yan: "I'm leaving, and I will leave the cloud to you!"

"Don't worry, brother..." Lu Yanzheng nodded emphatically, "My foolish brother will go all out to manage Yunzhong well."

Chapter 322 Arrive at the Frontline

Five hundred cavalry archers, five hundred crossbowmen, two thousand cavalry, and five hundred personal guards, this is all the soldiers and horses that Liu Tao brought out this time.No supply troops were prepared, but 500 more horses were brought along with the army.

"That is to say, when you reach the front line, you can get supplies. Otherwise, if you count the supply troops, it will cost at least [-]." Before setting off for the expedition, Liu Tao looked at the cavalry phalanx in front of him and said with emotion.

Prepare dry rations for two to three days. After all, they are cavalry. They can pass through two counties in one day. At the same time, prepare [-] horses and carry enough funds. After two or three days, you can buy supplies locally and prepare new dry rations. rest for a day.

"It's okay when we go, but what about when we return?" Lu Yan was still a little worried.

"It's rare to hunt for thieves, how could there be no spoils at all?" Liu Tao said jokingly.He just seconded his past allies, so many things will be freer.In terms of loot, of course, others will not be polite.

"That's true. In short, just be careful." Lu Yan was stunned, and didn't remind anything anymore.

The real hard work was the dozen or so scribes accompanying the army. When the cavalry was marching, riding in a carriage was actually even worse.Thanks to the scribes of this era, they were not as weak as in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so everyone rode together on horseback.

The process was not very pleasant, but fortunately Liu Tao was able to treat them, but it is a pity that fatigue cannot be recovered.

"Qian Huangmen, can you still stand it?" Liu Tao smiled and walked to Qian Fu's side. He didn't take special care of this and the five guards, especially since Qian Fu was riding in a carriage. half life.

"I can bear it..." Qian Fu is also trying to be brave. In fact, it's okay to go back to Luoyang early to return to life, but Liu Tao's rush is too exaggerated. It seems that he has passed three cities in one day, and he has already entered the border of Dingxiang County. .

God knows how he ran for so long, eating while moving on the road.Baiji steamed buns are served with dried bacon, and the water bag is on the other side. I haven't stopped to rest this day, and I didn't stop outside Tongguo County, Dingxiang County until nightfall.

According to this speed, I will probably be able to arrive in Mayi tomorrow, but how can I survive with my small body?

"After arriving in Mayi tomorrow, I will stay there for a day, buy supplies, and prepare dry food for the next two or three days." Liu Tao explained, "If Qianhuangmen needs it, you can go to Mayi for a stroll."

"That's it... that's okay." Liu Tao said that, and Qian Fu was a little relieved. If he had been rushing with such intensity, he would probably be gone before he returned to Luoyang.

In the evening of the next day, the whole army did arrive at Mayi smoothly. The prefect of Yanmen sent someone to inquire. After all, an army suddenly came to his territory, so how could he not ask.

When Liu Tao showed the Tiger Talisman to explain his intentions, the latter was relieved and expressed support for the purchase of supplies.

It took a whole day to rest and buy supplies in Mayi, and the expedition continued early the next morning.In the evening of that day, or at night, we arrived in Yangqu County, Taiyuan County.

"We can almost arrive in Taiyuan tomorrow...you and I will be separated by then." Liu Tao looked at Qian Fu.

"The prefect is going to the front line to make meritorious service, and I can't hold back." Qian Fu smiled. In fact, he was eager to leave as soon as possible. Such a high-intensity march is really unbearable.

"Haha, if I have a chance to go to Luoyang in the future, I will visit Qian Huangmen again." Liu Tao laughed, but he didn't point it out.

Two days later, the two sides officially parted ways, and it was only at this time that Liu Tao gave the order to move forward at full speed.

They are all cavalry, especially Xianbei horses with strong endurance. Long-distance raids are the characteristics of this kind of horses.It was only to take care of Qian Fu that he had to slow down, and of course there was also the addition factor of the 'acceleration technique'.

"My lord... How about maintaining this speed?" Guo Jia stepped forward to beg for mercy, and the civil servants behind him also nodded. They didn't understand why the previous speed was not full speed.

But they know very well that if they continue to accelerate, they will really have problems.

"What do you think?" Liu Tao looked at Lu Bu and the others. Of course, these people don't care. Everyone has received professional training. This kind of intensive training is really nothing.

"Forget it, we still need to maintain enough energy to fight the rebels, so let's continue to maintain this speed!" Liu Tao thought for a while, and finally made a decision.

In the end, it took about [-] days to arrive in Chang'an.Everyone is busy, but fortunately, they are all very energetic.

Arriving near Chang'an, you can see from a distance that the city wall is full of defenders and ready for battle.Liu Tao had no choice but to send Zhang Fei out to explain his purpose under the city wall.

"General Zhenbei, Grand Administrator of Yunzhong, Dutinghou Liu Tao's Department, was ordered to come to support, has arrived, please open the door!" Zhang Fei's loud voice could be heard by half of Chang'an City.

Thanks to this, the originally tense atmosphere eased a little bit. After a while, a general came forward and asked, "Where is Liu Tao, can you come forward and answer?"

Liu Tao just arrived at this time. Hearing Yan Ce, he immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands towards the city wall: "I will be here!"

"How is it?" Seeing Liu Tao, the general above looked at the people around him.

"It is indeed Liu Tao. As expected, the one who just shouted out should be his righteous brother Zhang Fei." Huangfusong looked down on the city wall, confirmed that it was correct, and said to the generals beside him.

He is currently wearing a crime. Zhang Wen asked him to stay in the army, but he has no military power. He just joins the army as a civilian officer.However, Huangfusong was originally a civil servant, so even if he was a civil servant, he could adapt quickly and did a good job.

"Since there is no problem, let's open the door!" The general next to him nodded, and then ordered.

As the gate opened, Liu Tao's troops also entered Chang'an City in mighty force.Not long after, the general who was on the city wall just now came to him with several other generals.

"I am Zhang Wen, General of Chariot and Cavalry. General Zhenbei is really fast. In a dozen days, I came over from the clouds." The leading general, Zhang Wen, stepped forward and said with a smile.

Originally it was said to be a month, but the other party came over in a dozen days. After calculating the distance between the two places, it can really be described as lightning fast.It wasn't Liu Tao's department coming, Zhang Wen couldn't believe it was them, so he had to ask Huangfu Song to identify them.

"Since it's a hunt for thieves, it's natural for me to wait. Besides, I will bring all the cavalry to the south this time, so I will go all out, and this is the speed I have now." Liu Tao laughed, "Now that our troops have arrived, how can we fight?" , I also ask the general of the chariot to order."

"No hurry, no hurry..." Zhang Wen smiled, "Our army is sending spies to find out the movements of the thieves. Before we know the situation, we can't take the initiative to attack. It just so happens that General Zhenbei should be tired, so he can take a rest for two days. "

"Why can't we find out what happened to the thief?" Liu Tao was surprised. After fighting for so long, he still doesn't know the situation of the thief?
