This time, the wheels of history finally deviated.??
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did not promote several generals under the Zuohouwei Mansion on the spot and take over the position of the general of the Zuohouwei Mansion. Instead, he transferred the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Zuowuwei General Fan Zigai who stayed in Zhuo County.
, took the post of General of the Left Guard.
He also sent people 800 miles away to rush, and activated Dou Kang, who was living in the capital, to stay behind for Zhuojun.
Later, although Dou Kang hurried all the way and almost died when he reached Zhuojun, he was still quite proud because at the beginning, he was the general manager of Youzhou, which is almost equivalent to the position of the current prefect of Zhuojun.
Xue Shixiong wrote a memorial and rushed off.
A real man should get up from wherever he fell. This is a very happy thing.
But what he didn't expect was that soon afterwards, he would face an overwhelming peasant uprising.
Li Po, who was under the command of the Zuohou Wei Mansion, caught up with Fan Zigai's general's honor guard and confirmed that this was the general who led his unit.
But he felt that the future of Zuo Houwei Mansion was quite dark.
Because this old general's age seems to be... no younger than the previous general Duan Wenzhen.
If this person gets tired and sick along the way, or dies on the way, well, Zuo Houwei's Mansion will probably be in bad luck in the eyes of others, and he is extremely unlucky.
Of course, at this time, there were still people who were distracted and thinking wildly, and he was the only one in the Sui army in Mayi.
The long army, the flags covering the sun, the hooves rumbling, not counting the horses, even the sound of the infantry's footsteps on the ground can make the ground tremble slightly.
Not everyone can see this kind of scene.
Almost everyone was shocked the moment the army broke out of camp. When they entered the army sequence, along the way, in addition to the excitement and surprise when they first set out on the road.
Soon, the novelty wore off, and then the feeling of being a member of the army, so insignificant and unable to control oneself, quickly and directly captured people's hearts, and lingered in their hearts.
.
As the journey continues, the boredom of long journeys, congested roads, and noisy sounds all make people feel irritable.
There were more and more shouts and curses heard on the road, scenes of fights were common, and the officers' roars became more and more unpleasant and rough.
Before arriving at Yuguan, you can already see some wooden poles on the roadside. What is floating on them is often one or several grinning human heads, ugly and bloody.
Li Po no longer has any curiosity about this.
The military law during the Sui Dynasty was relatively strict, and beheading was the most common punishment.
Being in such a huge army, Li Po gradually began to understand that the generals leading the army, even if they were not hard-hearted, would become extremely ruthless.
Because he has no time to talk nonsense with you. The usual whipping thing, but now, a casual word "Zhan" may come out of the mouth of some general, and then a small life will be lost.
Don't complain, you can only say that you are extremely unlucky.
This is the difference between before the army sets off and during the march.
When it comes time to engage in battle, military law will be much more stringent.
Fortunately, the Mayi and Sui armies were all cavalry, and there were fifty heavy armored cavalry among them, so they were naturally superior to infantry.
This kind of military law of killing people to establish prestige during the march will never fall on them unless necessary. Unless you are seeking death, that is another story.
Of course, Li Bi, who had experience, spent a lot of time with Li Po. Before setting off, he made it clear that he would lead 300 people in front, while Li Po would lead 200 people in the back. Moreover, these five were absolutely not allowed.
Hundreds of people separated.
Once engaged in battle, these five hundred people will live and die together as a unit.
As for the leading general sent by Zuo Houwei Mansion, in Li Bi's eyes, he was just a decoration.
In private, he told Li Po without scruples that the troops from Mayi did not need others to tell them what to do. They listened to the useful ones and turned a deaf ear to the useless ones.
After hearing this, Li Po felt confident, and he also had a preliminary understanding of how complicated the factions in the army were.
Military troops from all over the country must all look like Li Bi.
Hehe, it will be lively. At that time, there will definitely be endless dramas such as those who refuse to save people, those who keep giving orders, internal strife, etc.
In fact, not long after, he saw a very grand internal fight among the Sui army...
Because they have four legs, the Mayi Sui army soon became one of the vanguards of the Zuohou Weifu tribes.
Actually, it's not necessary.
Don't look at the division of the Sui army in detail, such as the Twelfth Army on the Left and the Twelfth Army on the Right. Each department also has its own tasks.
But in fact, before entering the territory of Goguryeo, everyone took the same path.
As for such a bloated and huge army, except for the two units at the front and the rear, the rest are all in the main army, and the vanguard and rearguard are just decorations.
Especially Zuo Houwei's Mansion, which is walking in the middle of the army with Yingyang Mansion on the left and right.
In the distance, you can still see the emperor's guard of honor.
Very grand, very grand.
Even though there were many armies lined up, Li Po could still see the hood of the emperor's car in the distance, which was so big that no one could imagine.
From this we can see how huge the chariot below is.
But unfortunately, you can only watch from a distance. If you really want to go up there and take a closer look, you have to have Lu Bu's strength and Liu Guanzhang's luck.
But no matter what, the location of the Mayi and Sui armies was still very safe.
With such a large army, the chance of people rushing to the emperor's vicinity is undoubtedly very small. Otherwise, everyone would not have to live. The emperor, who was very fond of military parades, would have died countless times.
Of course, in Li Po's view, this was a grand military parade before entering Goguryeo.
It took more than three days to get from Zhuojun to Yuguan. It wasn't fast, but it wasn't too slow either.
After squeezing out of Yuguan, which is as congested as an ant's nest, we left the Great Wall behind us and headed northeast along the coastline.
Large expanses of grassland and mountains have finally begun to become the most common sights.
This is undoubtedly a barren land that has never been opened up.
But what was very different from Li Po's imagination was that along the way, there were inns set up by the Sui people and military forts everywhere, indicating that this was completely the territory of the Sui Dynasty.
However, the army is rolling forward, and these inns, military villages, etc. are completely unable to provide any useful help to the army.
They are as small and pitiful as rocks in the vast ocean. As soon as the army passes by, they become more dilapidated and shabby...
