The army ran eastward and rolled up a dusty smoke.

Jin Chunqiu looked at the Youzhou County soldiers carrying crossbows on the road, and secretly compared him with his own soldiers in his heart.

"You are Silla Prince Jin Chunqiu?"

Although it was unpleasant to be called directly by his real name, Jin Chunqiu immediately put aside the dissatisfaction in his heart and said, "It's just that I'm here to pay homage to Mr. Shanggu."

Jin Chunqiu glanced at the other party, then lowered his head, not daring to look at it anymore. Although he knew that this person was very young, he did not expect that he was so young.

Li Chongjiu was wearing armor and holding his war horse. After he waited for Kongshan to tell him about his identity, he realized that the person in front of him was King Wu Lie in history.

How to say it, in the minds of Koreans, this person has a status comparable to that of Li Shimin. It was the joint efforts of him and his son and grandson that he completed the true unification of Silla on the Korean Peninsula. In history, Silla was called this period and called Unified Silla, which represents the first time the Korean Peninsula has entered the era of great unification.

Jin Chunqiu said, "I know that the war between Shanggugong is about to be held, so I led five hundred Hualang warriors to help Shanggugong with one arm."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Thank you for your help from King Zhenping. I will wait and see your army's bravery. But now I have come to my account..."

Before Li Chongjiu finished speaking, Jin Chunqiu said, "I ask Mr. Shanggu to send him, and when Xiao Wang was in Silla, he knew a little about the bow, horse, martial arts, and civilized Chinese studies."

Li Chongjiu nodded in appreciation and said immediately: "Since that's the case, let the prince give in. First, the general of Ying Yanglang of our army will command these five hundred Shira warriors."

"Yes, the last general will receive the order." Jin Chunqiu shouted loudly.

After saying that, Li Chongjiu turned over and horse.

Jin Chunqiu looked at Li Chongjiu Yangchen's back and silently, and went upstairs beside him and asked, "Prince, what do you think of Shanggu Gong?"

Jin Chunqiu said: "This person must have his ability to be able to stand today, but whether he can defeat the Khitan depends on whether his subordinates are capable."

The soldiers who walked along this road from Zhuo County and Liaoxi County were already familiar with each other.

But this time, it was different along the way than before.

If the Khitan attacks, if the city is broken, the old and young in Zhuo County will not be spared. Therefore, the people in the villages along the way spontaneously carried a basket of corn cakes and wrung a pot of butterfly, and stood silently beside the road.

Once a soldier is thirsty and tired, he will take it from the basket of ordinary people.

When Li Chongjiu saw an old woman with white hair on the road, carrying a string of straw sandals made by herself, she kept asking the passing soldiers if they needed to replace them.

Li Chongjiu was also moved when he saw this scene. The words of the song Yanran sounded in his ears again. The emperors, generals and ministers of all dynasties were able to take into account the people while realizing their ambitions, which was enough to leave a good reputation.

Can you do it yourself?

After leaving the plain, the army entered the numerous and continuous Yanshan Mountains. Now under its feet is the imperial road that Emperor Yang of Sui built to conquer Goguryeo, which can accommodate three carriages driving side by side between the mountains and ridges.

Two thousand county soldiers, three thousand Goguryeo auxiliary troops, one thousand Mukun cavalry, and five hundred Hualang soldiers marched among the mountains.

After entering Liaoxi County, the population gradually became less and the army rested overnight. Then the soldiers dragged their leggings down and picked up the blood bubbles on the soles of their feet. Then they crushed the rice cakes and put them in the iron horse bowl, sprinkled with a little and a half star of coarse salt, and then cooked them with sharpening stones to ignite and ignite them.

There is no way to do this. As military ration rice cakes, they are not pounded thoroughly and most of them are not threshed. Therefore, if they are not cooked, they will be very coarse and difficult to swallow.

This is also a limitation of conditions, but the soldiers did not complain. At present, the world was in chaos and the fields were deserted. In Zhuo County, the poor people could only eat bean crumbs, mixed bran, bark, leaves, and puffy oak noodles. If Wei Zheng had not proposed to Li Chongjiu to establish a charity warehouse and provide porridge for the people, Zhuo County would have to starve to death at least ten thousand people in this winter.

As for the situation in other counties, I really can't bear to mention that people compete to eat, and people who fled from other counties do not need to show up and say it, everyone knows it.

Therefore, as a soldier, he was quite satisfied to have a full meal, even though it was a little rough.

As for Jin Chunqiu's rice cakes that were difficult to swallow when he saw the food provided to his Hualang army, he was also angry, but after seeing the food of other soldiers, Li Chongjiu himself was actually holding the rice cakes and sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and he was even more speechless at the moment.

Jin Chunqiu observed carefully and saw that although the county soldiers were eating crude food, they still had a high morale. He couldn't help but nodded silently, thinking that the tenacity of the Great Sui people was indeed better than that of the Silla people.

After entering Liaoxi County, although Li Chongjiu was all infantry, he was not worried about the ambush of the Khitan Xi cavalry. The movements of the Khitan Xi army, the sudden crawling of the Martial Scouts, and the Dingling Scouts of Cui Xu were all constantly coming.

After arriving in Liaoxi County two miles, Cui Xu led the soldiers of the clan to come. Tu Diji led 10,000 soldiers from the Martial Warriors, while Cui Xu brought Ding Ling's troops with 5,000 troops.

These are the biggest mobilizations of the two films. Li Chongji remembered that last year, when Tudiji fought with Luo Yi, the maximum number of soldiers in the department could be mobilized was only 8,000. Now, in addition to the 800 Marine warriors who were transferred to the Wansheng Army, Tudiji could even bring in 10,000 soldiers.

It turned out that after Li Chongjiu's successive victory in Goguryeo, his reputation was greatly shocked. The Sumo-Mihe tribes of the same clan continued to cross the Liaoshui River from the Sumo-Mihe River and came to join Tudiji. Therefore, the number of the Mohe tribes under Tudiji continued to increase. This time, the Khitans invaded western Liaoning and robbed several Mohe tribes, burned, killed and looted. Kudiji was furious and prepared all the troops.

Jin Chunqiu was worried that Li Chongjiu was not strong enough to fight against the Khitan, but after hearing that the two divisions of Martin and Ding Ling sent 15,000 troops to join, they immediately felt a little confident.

But Jin Chunqiu then looked at the two armies and compared Li Chongjiu's county soldiers, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The soldiers of the Dingling and the Mohe tribes are all young and strong, all of which are old, weak, young and strong. The equipment is so simple that a few bones can be nailed to a big stick as weapons. The soldiers are covered in animal skins, without decent armor, holding wooden shields, and hunting bows to join the battle.

However, despite the simple equipment, Jin Chunqiu looked at the muscles on the warriors and his bronze skin. He knew that these people grew up among poor mountains and rivers, and their bravery could greatly make up for the lack of equipment.

Now Li Chongjiu met Qi's army and continued to advance. Dingling people pushed their cart and followed the army.

The Dingling people's cart was loaded with their food tents. Whether it was fighting or migration, the Dingling people would go wherever they went. The Dingling people's wheel height was very exaggerated, almost as high as horses. It was also because the Dingling people liked to use high cars, so they were also called the high car race.

The Gaoche clan originated from the Chile clan. He was the same clan as Xueyantuo, who is now in the northern desert. When Rouran rose to the grassland, Dingling people surrendered to Rouran. Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty attacked Rouran nine times, captured 600,000 or 700,000 Dingling people and moved to the Han area. After that, this branch was called Shanju Dingling.

Zhai Liao, a Dingling man who moved to Han, gathered Dingling people to establish the country of Zhai Wei in Hebei. Later, it was destroyed by the Yan State of Murong Xianbei. Many of his clans were moved to the near Longcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, located in the western Liao County.

After the Yan State was destroyed, the Dingling people still lived in western Liaoning, but their lives were already very difficult. However, the custom of using large carts was still preserved. For example, Cui Xu, the commander of Dingling's troops, called himself a descendant of Zhai Liao.

After the Dingling people, there were people from the Minghe in western Liaoning, compared with the Dingling people pushing a cart.

The Marine horses are each with one big horse, or at least one two. Many of the Marine horses are not riding, but are used as horse-walking. Liaodong horses are good at galloping and can carry weights, and they are all pulled out to be used as war horses, but this is a minority after all. Most of the Marine horses are very tall but not fast, so they are more suitable for horse-walking.

After the army gathered, the vanguard had encountered the Khitan vanguard cavalry, and a small-scale battle between several cavalry and dozens of cavalry broke out.

Since Li Chongjiu's main cavalry had not arrived yet, all the scouts were the marches and the county cavalry. Although the 20,000 county soldiers were mainly infantry and only a thousand cavalrymen, it does not mean that the county cavalry is ineffective. The county cavalry selection is all good children from border counties, good at bows and horses, and equipped with good equipment. However, it is said that the Khitan's vanguard scouts were also selected by the warriors of the clan.

Although the scale of the scout war was small, the two armies were testing each other before the decisive battle. Not only did they test the forces, but they also had to collect and report the surrounding terrain and enemy intelligence.

After the fierce battle of the scouts, the Khitan scouts killed hundreds of cavalry and retreated slightly. It turned out that they were mountains and dense forests in western Liaoning and rivers were crisscrossing. The most powerful scout was not the cavalry, but the Marts who grew up here and were familiar with the terrain.

Although there were people in the forest who spyed on the Khitan, the strong dragon was ultimately defeated by the local snake. As a result, he gave up the entanglement in front of him and retreated to the plain next to the White Wolf Water.

The plain was fully visible. Li Chongjiu stood on the hill and watched the Khitan camps covering the entire plain through the White Wolf Water. The white felt bags were densely packed, revealing a cold and solemn sense of killing. Li Chongjiu heard the soldiers of the Old Yu battle formation whispering, saying that the Khitan Xi people were known as the 200,000 army this time, which was really true.

Li Chongjiu knew that the Khitans' Xi people wanted to exert the power of their cavalry on the plains and fight with him. Li Chongjiu would not go deep into the grassland, but instead set up a camp along the mountainous direction of the White Wolf Water Valley, waiting patiently for Li Hu's army to arrive.

It was originally expected that Li Hu should have led the main cavalry of the grassland two ris before, and it was time to come here to meet, but now it has been missing.

All the generals were a little nervous.

Facing the Khitan Xi army, the reinforcements made a promise before the war, which was a very fatal blow to the morale of the army. If Li Hu had not been Li Chongjiu's father, he would have been unwilling to betray his son. If it were other generals who led him, the generals would have been unable to sit still. The weakest Dingling might have taken the lead and put on oil.
