Chapter 362: Expedition

Early the next morning, Deng Yan and Liu Yi led the remaining civil and military forces to practice for the merchant army.

Shang Ji originally planned to take Liu Meng away as well. After all, Liu Meng's wolf cavalry is quite powerful, and it is very suitable to join Shang Ji's strategic mobile corps.

However, Liu Yi strongly objected to continuing to transfer Liu Meng. The reason is also very good: Xiangping cannot do without a strong mobile force.

Shang Ji thought for a while, and finally agreed with Liu Yi's opinion. At the same time, he also authorized him to build an ordinary cavalry force of 100,000 people immediately after Shang Ji left to fill the gap in mobile forces during this period.

Even after Shang Ji left, Liu Meng had to lead his army to station in Wushu to deter Xianbei and the half-hearted Wuhuan and other alien races. Not only did Liu Yi have to coordinate the overall situation in Xiangping, but he also had to take into account the situation of the Liao team, so that Wuhuan in the west could not think that this was an opportunity to take advantage of.

"I wish the lord of the government a successful start, wipe out the traitors, and return the big man to a Langlang peace!"

Liu Yi led everyone to congratulate Shang Ji.

"With the auspicious words of the gentlemen, Liaodong will be entrusted to the gentlemen!"

"I will do my best to keep Liaodong safe!"

"It's so good, I'm relieved!" Shang Ji nodded in satisfaction.

Just when Shang Ji was about to lead his army to the official expedition, he saw Liu Yi suddenly twitching, hesitating and hesitating.

Shang Ji was stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Why, what else is the county lieutenant doing?"

"Eh...here is a secret letter I wrote, hand it over to the sheriff, and ask the sheriff to have a look!" As he spoke, Liu Yi took out a letter and handed it to Shang Ji with a blushing face.

Shang Ji took the envelope curiously, but saw that there were four beautiful and delicate characters written on it: "Shang Jun's personal letter".

Shang Ji recognized it immediately, it was Liu's handwriting.

Speaking of which, Shang Ji and Liu's wedding has reached the second of the six ceremonies - asking for names. But this matter has always been handled by Deng's mother, and Shang Ji doesn't need to worry about it. Shang Ji is required to strictly abide by etiquette, and he hasn't seen Liu Shi for a month or two.

In front of Liu Yi, Shang Ji opened the envelope, and there was a piece of paper and a piece of jade inside. The jade is exactly the piece of pure heart and spiritual jade that Shang Ji gave to Liu Shi.

"Return the divine jade to Lord Shang for the time being,

To protect the body and drive away evil spirits. The concubine has been looking forward to your return that day and night, and you should remember: If you give birth to a concubine, you will live, and if you die, your concubine will follow! "

Shang Ji smiled helplessly, probably because of the psychological shadow left by the previous unfortunate marriages. Ever since she started talking about marriage, Liu's mind has obviously been preoccupied, and she will be nervous whenever there is a disturbance, completely gone from the previous one. Dignified and calm temperament.

Shang Ji took out a pen and paper, scribbled down a few large characters, and handed it to Liu Yi, and returned the Qingxin Shenyu at the same time.

"Brother, please deliver this letter on behalf of the foolish brother. The foolish brother is blessed by God, so sister can rest assured and wait for the good news!"

"Don't worry, save it for brother!" Liu Yi took the envelope and nodded.

After finishing the housework, Shang Ji turned around, looked at the 300,000 elite army ready to go, and shouted: "Give me the general's order, the whole army set off!"

"Set off!"

With an order, the army suddenly started to move, and Zhao Yun, who had just arrived, took the initiative to take the responsibility of the vanguard, leading 50,000 silver dragon cavalry to rush to the front.

Shang Ji led the main force to march in the center, and finally Qin Ping led Yan's tiger rider to the rear.

Originally, Shangji also planned to take the coastal route from Tashi to Quanzhou (Quanzhou County, Yuyang County, which is actually Tianjin today) by boat directly, and then go straight to Handan.

The result is that the navy's ability is overestimated. After all, the development time is too short. Even if a general like Ling Cao is in charge, there is no way to send 300,000 heavy cavalry to the other side in one go. .

After learning about the relevant situation, although Shang Ji felt a little regretful, he didn't say anything. The development of the navy is the most time-consuming arm. The Liaodong Navy has only been established for less than four months. It is already a miracle to have the scale it is today, and it cannot be blamed.

With no plan to march by sea, Shang Ji could only honestly follow the normal route, starting from Xiangping, passing through the Liao team, all the way to Zhuojun, and then heading south to Jizhou.

However, this time was different from the last battle against Xianbei. Instead of deliberately avoiding the Liaodong vassal state gathered by Wuhuan, Shang Ji, in the name of General Dangkou, led an elite army of 300,000 to swagger across the Liaodong vassal state.

The Liaodong vassal state is the most sphere of influence of the Wuhuan people, of course there is no Yellow Turban Army, Shang Ji's approach is to deter the Wuhuan people! Lest they have any trouble in the next time.

Although the Wuhuan people were very angry at Shang Ji's provocative actions, they immediately became more honest. The deterrent force of the 300,000 elite high-level special troops is still very strong. Even with the strength of the Wuhuan people, they are extremely afraid of the 300,000 elite cavalry in the hands of Shang Ji.

The most obvious proof is that the Wuhuan people, who have always been arrogant and domineering, did not dare to fart when they saw Shang Ji leading troops across the Liaodong vassal state, and they all closed their doors and regarded the 300,000 troops as air.

The army traveled all the way, out of Liaodong, across Liaoxi, across Beiping, and finally came to Yuyang County, which is the core of Youzhou, and then went forward to Guangyang County, the core of Youzhou.

The Shangji army was not burdened by heavy supplies, and it was a high-level special unit of cavalry with all members. It took only five days to complete the journey of thousands of miles, and gradually entered the hardest-hit area of ​​​​the Yellow Turban.

Compared with Jizhou, Youzhou is not a key development area of ​​the Yellow Turban Army, but it is also close to Jizhou, the core area of ​​the Yellow Turban Army, and has been greatly affected.

Yuyang County is better, and the situation in Dai County and Zhuo County is even worse. However, Zhuo County is the home field of Sanying. The army suppressed it.

In fact, if you can kill or repel the commander of the Yellow Turban Army and break the frenzy of the Yellow Turban Army, it is not difficult to defeat the Yellow Turban Army. It just so happened that taking the head of a general among the ten thousand armies is what Guan Zhang is best at, and Liu Bei can be said to have flourished in this battle.

And Hanling Emperor Liu Hong didn't know what to think, and even sent someone to personally inspect Liu Bei's clan, officially recognized Liu Bei's identity as a clan member of the Han family, and named Liu Bei as the assistant Han captain, which made Liu Bei even more powerful. Liu Hong's personal admission is much more valuable than the "Uncle Liu Huang" of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Hong really can't save face and call brotherhood with Liu Bei, a poor householder, so "Liu Huangdi" should not be considered.

However, an official clan status and official position can bring Liu Bei endless help. At least the officials of all counties and states know that he is the emperor's favorite person. The situation of being blinded in history never happened again. , Liu Bei was warmly received wherever he went, and he really seemed to be expected by everyone.

Another benefit is the crazy defection of players.

The current situation and history are gradually drifting away. Liu Bei, who had been miserable in the early stage, suddenly became the one with the most rapid development momentum, and he has the posture to surpass Yuan Cao. Liu Bei thigh.

Relying on the bravery of Guan Zhang and the assistance of the vast number of players, Liu Bei quickly wiped out the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Zhuo County, and then took the second general of Guan Zhang, together with 100,000 elite troops from various places, to join the 5,000 elite soldiers of the headquarters, Together with several times the army of players, they drove towards Jizhou mightily.

Originally, Shang Ji also planned to join forces with Liu Bei to march into Jizhou. In any case, he had a good friendship. The joint march of the two armies was much safer than marching alone.

In the end, who knew that he was one step late. When Shang Ji called all the way from Yuyang County, Liu Bei had already gone one step ahead. In theory, Liu Bei must have known the news that Shang Ji led the army. There is a meaning of deliberately avoiding it.
