Datang romantic little landlord

After several days, finally came the day of departure.

With the assistance of Afro and Pei Lan, Li Wangyou put on the gleaming silver full body armor.

At the moment of parting, he tightly hugged Su Changqing who had already cried into tears, gently stroked her hair, and whispered in Su Changqing's ear: "Changqing, wait for me at home!"

Su Changqing rubbed his teary eyes, but grabbed Li Wangyou's clothes and nodded desperately.

In fact, if it was usual, the two of them wouldn't be so sad like "parting from life to death".

It just happened that Su Changqing was pregnant, and the strong woman who used to be strong turned into tender water.

After finally appeasing the beautiful boss, and repeatedly instructing the old housekeepers Li Heng and Pei Lan to take good care of him, Li Wangyou reluctantly stepped on the royal horse Sa Luzi that Li Er had given him.

Suppressing the reluctance in his heart, Li Wangyou didn't dare to look back, and directly urged his horse to gallop outside the gate of the mansion.

Niu Wu immediately led a group of Li's trilogy, followed closely behind by urging the horse.

Peilan and all the maidservants in the mansion bowed down, "I hope you will return home victorious!"

Niu Yong was not suitable to accompany Li Wangyou on the expedition because of a disabled arm, so he stayed in the mansion and led the rest of the team to look after the Li family's home.

At this moment, he talked about one-armed, beat a war drum, and made a majestic and majestic drum sound, acting bravely for his own lord.

Outside Li's residence, a group of households in Dingzhou Village, led by the old villager, had already gathered on both sides of the road in the village.

Seeing Li Wangyou leading the crowd to appear, they all bowed down.

"I hope that the grandfather will plow the court and sweep the hole, and return in triumph!"

"Sweep the hole in Liting, and return in triumph!"

Li Wangyou only felt his nose sore, but he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he could only salute the farmers with fists and urge his horse to go away...

He didn't rush directly to Jingzhou, but had to go to Chang'an first.

When the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty go out to battle and return triumphantly, ceremonies will be held outside the Chengtian Gate in the imperial city.

When Li Wangyou led the trilogy to Chang'an City, a group of dandies were already waiting outside the gate of Mingde in uniform.

Seeing Li Wangyou's appearance, even though there are no normal dandies in normal times, they all knelt down to Li Wangyou on one knee, then hit the chest armor with their right fists, and saluted Li Wangyou in a proper manner .

Starting today, everyone is Li Wangyou's subordinates, and the etiquette cannot be broken.

After the ceremony, the dandies got on their horses, surrounded Li Wangyou, rode their horses up the Suzaku Avenue, and headed for the Suzaku Gate.

The two sides of Chengtianmen Street in the imperial city are already full of sturdy imperial guards with bright armor and waving banners.

The two thousand or so Yi, Wei and Xiao cavalry were all ordered by Li Er to guard Li Wangyou's left and right, and to accompany him to the Western Regions.

After three cannon fires, the Chengtian Gate opened, and Li Er, who was also in military uniform, rode out of the palace gate.

Li Wangyou immediately got off his horse and led the dandies and a group of soldiers to bow three times and kneel down nine times to salute.

There are strict rules of etiquette when the army goes out.

Sacrificing to the sky, sacrificing to the earth, suing the temple, sacrificing to the army god...

997 Breakout

Even the officials of the aristocratic families who have always been at odds with Li Wangyou did not dare to neglect the ceremony of the army's expedition.

As the saying goes, the major events of the country are sacrifices and soldiers.

No one dared to joke about such things as the army going out.

Taichangqing Wang Ying had a solemn expression and prayed to the sky: "Sima sent the flag to the people, and lined up like Chen in battle... Chasing the land, there was Si Biaoluo, who swore to the people! The drums were surrounded and banned; the fire abuses, Sacrifice birds..."

Amidst the sound of drum music, Li Er solemnly handed over the fish amulet to Li Wangyou.

Before the Jin Dynasty, most of the military talismans used for dispatching troops were tiger talismans, but in the Sui Dynasty, the scale talismans were used instead. In order to avoid tabooing the name of Li Yuan's father, Li Hu, the Datang changed the tiger talismans into fish talismans and rabbit talismans.

Later, tortoise symbols appeared, and even the Northern Song Dynasty used cow symbols as soldier symbols.

It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that in order to revive the emperor's prestige, it was changed to a tiger charm again.

Li Wangyou knelt down on one knee, took the golden fish charm with both hands, but felt extremely heavy.From then on, the lives of hundreds of thousands of Tang soldiers were entrusted to him.

"The whole army set out!" Li Wangyou bowed to Li Er again, turned around and got on Sa Luzi, and headed towards the Suzaku Gate first.

The dandies and two thousand Yiwei Xiao cavalry got on their horses one after another, and followed closely behind.

When the sound of rumbling horseshoes resounded through Suzaku Street, it attracted cheers from the common people.

In the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were invincible, and the people cheered, as if this was not an army that went out to conquer, but a triumphant return.

"Ziyou, if you don't return from the expedition here, the brothers will have no face to come back to see Jiangdong's elders!" Cheng Chumo waved coquettishly to the people on both sides of Zhuque Avenue, and urged the horse to go to Li Wangyou. Beside, said in a low voice.

Before Li Wangyou could speak, Fang Yiai replied disdainfully: "Brother Chumo, you are simply worrying unfoundedly. Just relying on those weak chickens in the Western Regions, a 15 army can drown them with a mouthful of spit. If you want to resist my Tang cavalry, it is like a praying mantis blocking the car, and you are beyond your control!"

"That's right, that's the truth, Yi Ai's words are justified!" The dudes followed suit and booed.

In their view, the Western Expedition is a bit bitter, but it is purely a gold-plated journey, and there is no risk at all.

Li Wangyou shook his head.

"Brothers, you must not underestimate the enemy like this. The military strength of the countries in the Western Regions is not worth mentioning, but you brothers must not forget, what is the reason why His Majesty sent an army of 15?"

Chai Lingwu thought for a while, and couldn't help frowning: "Ziyou, you mean Turkic people?"

Li Wangyou nodded: "That's right! The reason why His Majesty sent fifteen armies to conquer the Western Regions was to guard against the Turkic people."

His words are not alarmist.

Historically, Li Er sent Hou Junji to lead an army of 15 to conquer Gaochang, with the purpose of deterring the Turks.

Although the Eastern Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty and Jieli Khan was captured, the Western Turks were divided and their strength was greatly damaged.But the Turkic people in the north were always the enemies that Datang spared no effort to guard against.

At the end of the year and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, according to recorded data, there were as many as 67 Turkic attacks on the Central Plains.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Li Er and the princes of the court regard the Turkic people as the number one enemy.

Even though Li Wangyou presented the map to let Li Er understand the threat of Tubo, but in any case, the Turkic people are still the enemies that Datang needs to beware of the most.

Li Wangyou was also a little worried, whether the Turkic people would come to make trouble when the Western Expeditionary Army attacked the Western Regions.

Although historically, the attack on Gaochang Kingdom went smoothly in the 14th year of Zhenguan, but now it is the fifth year of Zhenguan. Who can guarantee that the Turkic people will not come up with something?

Although he was anxious to conquer Gaochang Kingdom, and then rush back to Chang'an to accompany his wife to have a baby, but now that he has accepted the important task, he can't be careless.
