After King Zhao and others left the city, they rested outside the city that night and arrived in Nan'an at noon the next day. They were only a few dozen miles apart, but they walked for a full day and a half. The brigade of the brigade and the van had just passed the valley entrance.

The entire Nan'an Town, Gukou, Shuikou towns, and surrounding villages were raided by bandits with cavalry and burned all over.

This is also a measure for bandits to clear the surrounding areas before the war, determine the war zone, and at the same time drive away irrelevant people to facilitate the detection of the enemy situation.

In the eyes of King Zhao and others, the town where Xu Zi started his business was already in ruins.

There were broken walls everywhere, and some buildings were even burned for several days, but the remaining fire was still there, and thick smoke rolled upwards, covering the sky.

The official road was also destroyed, and more than 10,000 soldiers passed by the river beach and the embers on the town, and a lot of dust was raised.

More xiangmen were looking for places to camp around Gukou and Shuikou towns and villages, and there were cavalry running back and forth everywhere. Shortly after noon when King Zhao and his party arrived, many xiangmen had already set up camps. Many thin xiangmen were looking around in a daze, sitting on the ground, chewing dry food.

From Nan'an, we are all towns in Shuikou and Gukou.

After passing the valley entrance, the Minjiang River suddenly narrowed, and the boat floated on the river surface, and it could pass by almost a few long poles. The water flow became extremely clear and even more turbulent.

During the march, people can see the Xianxia Mountains in the northeast and the Wuyi Mountains in front of them.

The peaks began to become obvious. Under the blue sky, there were traces of mountains and cliffs in the distance. In fact, the army marched along the river and was already undulating in the undulating hilly areas. Even after passing through the valley entrance, there were mountains on both sides. However, people have been used to such terrain for thousands of years. If a person who had just come from the plains, he would feel quite novel because of the scenery and landforms in front of him.

In the evening, King Zhao and his party arrived at the entrance of the valley, with tens of thousands of soldiers and more than ten thousand imperial guards behind him.

"King." A staff member in charge of military affairs bowed: "Liu Jundu envoys and other military envoys sent people to come and ask the king to instruct information and arrange the army and battalion, and there are still logistics affairs. Please ask the king to give in."

King Zhao felt that his whole body was covered with dust and soil, and he was in a very unhappy mood.

The two spans were also very uncomfortable. He was considering taking a big car tomorrow, but after passing the valley entrance, he arrived at the boundary of Jianzhou, and was still nearly a hundred miles away from Jianyang County. At the current marching speed, it took four or five days to reach it. The road was disrepaired and bumpy, so riding a car would not be much more comfortable than riding a horse.

Because he felt the waist was tight, King Zhao was pressing his fist against his waist and gently massaged it. The guards and servants around him were all wearing iron armor or cotton armor, spreading out the guards, but no one would come over. Under the attention of the soldiers around him, he rubbed his waist and eyes for His Highness the Prince.

King Zhao did not expect that sending troops to release horses was so complicated, quite difficult and difficult, and it was indeed much more comfortable to enjoy the happiness in Fuzhou City.

"Why do you say more?" King Zhao said to his aides: "They are all old generals who send troops to release horses. You should also bother me with these meticulous matters? The imperial guards, the wing troops, and the wing troops are in charge, and they each choose their own locations and set up camps, and send out sentry cavalry guards around them."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The staff knew that the wing army did not have much food, but each wing carried dry food for several days. After seven days of war, the soldiers were afraid that they would go hungry.

However, the Transportation Office did not distribute much food and pay, and the imperial guards' wages, equipment and food were guaranteed. After all, it was the main force. The Xiang army was just going to make up the numbers, and everyone knew this level well.

The food and food transported along the river were of course prepared for the imperial guards,

The King of Zhao was too lazy to care about the Yu Xiang army.

The morale of the Xiang army was quite unstable, and people were clamoring for trouble every day, and King Zhao ignored it.

When will the morale of the wing army be stable? As long as these servants set up arrays in front of the formation, watch the general flag, listen to the sermon drums, and act according to the orders, they don’t have to worry too much about other matters.

Seeing that King Zhao was in a bad mood, the aides said in a mess: "Your Highness, our camp is in the valley entrance area. We are calling a boat to cross the river and go to Xinghua Army Town on the other side to find some people who serve over there. Is it unknown?"

"Although the walls in front of you are broken, I feel happy for some reason. I will serve as a wine to Your Highness at night. I wonder if Your Highness appreciates this face?"

Except for Li Gu who is a generalist in Zhao, the other aides are divided into several types such as Binggu, Accounting, Shuqi, and Zhengming. This time, we are expected to write a lot of letters, so Shuqi has led several staff members, followed by Li Gu and a group of staff who are good at military affairs, Soldier Valley.

A staff who are proficient in military affairs at least know that it is a dangerous situation to march and go to the battlefield, but a group of bookstore staff were idle at this time, so they mainly flattered King Zhao every day.

King Zhao knew what those staff members meant. After walking for a few days, he was really tired and wanted to drink and listen to the opera to relax. Furthermore, after passing through Nan'an, Shuikou, and Gukou towns, he was defeated. Others felt distressed when they saw him, but King Zhao and his sons showed a happy look on their faces from time to time... This time, Xu Ziwei was of course to follow, and he fought in the name of the general under the tent. This position is the Hou Bu of the General. This time, the dispatch of troops can be regarded as a promotion for Xu Ziwei. In a few years in the future, it will not be difficult to command the Imperial Army.

Xu Ziwen went to the army with the army as the secretary in the tent. This was the seventh-rank official position in the war and the beginning of Xu Ziwen's career. If the war goes well and the achievements are revealed later, it will not be difficult for Xu Ziwen to send troops to the head of a county.

No matter how bad King Zhao didn't like Xu Ziwen, he was his biological son, so he never treated him unfairly.

Xu Ziwei and Xu Ziwen have different expressions. One pretends to be brave, rides his horse and holds his head up, and gives guidance from time to time. The other is elegant and elegant, elegant and elegant.

However, when seeing the situation in various towns in Nan'an, the excitement, joy, pleasure and relief on the faces of the two noble men could not hide it from anyone.

However, as an aide, not only will he not give advice to such a crime, but on the contrary, he must try his best to make fun of it.

Li Gu's face wrinkled, and he was quite dissatisfied with the current situation. Before sending troops, King Zhao was full of confidence, and Xu Ziwei even said that the thief had just begun to rise and he would win this battle.

However, judging from the current situation, the army did not coordinate the overall situation. King Zhao claimed to be impatient in meticulous affairs, ignored all kinds of marches, camping and logistics affairs, and still drank and entertained at night. He also brought some clearing guests who were good at playing and playing. Some were good at telling jokes, some were good at elephant operas, Go, or horse hangers, and some were good at drawing and calligraphy. These people were thrust with more than ten people who were relieved. They did not camp at night. They found some of the rich mansions in the villages on the side of the road to requisition, and maids and servants were responsible for sweeping and making food. Every evening, when the soldiers were still hungry, the fragrance of wine and food in King Zhao was filled with fragrance for ten miles, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras continued.

Li Gu felt something was wrong, so he mentioned it briefly to King Zhao, and King Zhao showed displeasure, and Xu Ziwei was even more dissatisfied.

Some bandits, but they were carrying some miners and refugees, King Zhao came in empty nest with five army imperial guards, and ignored the safety of Fuzhou and Quanzhou. Do you still have to shrink your hands and feet and put on a fear of nervousness?

King Zhao even explained that the continuous wars were in turmoil, the morale of the army was depressed, and the people were depressed. If the general was cautious, the soldiers under his command would be even more afraid. If King Zhao was as usual, he would even indulge in pleasure.

It will also relax, and morale will naturally rise.

Li Gu did not agree with this principle very much, but he had no choice but to accept it.

Before dark, a staff member crossed the river and came across the river with a group of singing girls and chefs.

Because the surrounding villages and towns were destroyed, the people led by King Zhao set up a large tent on the side of the official road, buried pots and made rice. After dark, there were pine and torches around illuminating them. Singing girls danced outside the tent, and the aroma of wine and food was everywhere. Everyone in the tent was welcoming the King of Zhao and his son. Occasionally, some wars were brought up, and they quickly changed the topic and said some covetous auspicious words to get a good start. After dark, many hungry soldiers in the wing army were carrying long wagons to find food. King of Zhao, who was in the middle of the army, was still in a banquet.

...

"It's really ridiculous, so what about the prince of the country?" In the night under the starry sky, Li Kaiming, wearing a blue cloth arrow robe and a Fan Yang hat, shook his head gently and said to Liu Maoqi beside him: "Maybe the Great Wei is really about to be over."

"So, I have always said that the plan for the big palm plate is not wrong." Liu Maoqi's eyes shone brightly. In the night, he looked like a bobcat lurking in the dark. His muscles were in a state of tightness and his words also contained obvious excitement.

Not far away was the military camp. I am afraid that no one from King Zhao to ordinary wing soldiers would have imagined that the bandit leaders they were going to conquer and suppress would dare to personally spy on the military camp where they were located several miles away.

"The camp is scattered and the logistics is chaotic. Some people have already eaten their fill. There are still many soldiers who can only chew a few bites of dry food, nowhere to live, no tent, and no food."

Li Kaiming continued to glance around with his eyes and said with a smile: "There are still noises and noises, and Shangguan can only persuade him without any bullets. The weakness of the Fujian Xiang Army is really beyond people's imagination."

Liu Maoqi glanced at Luo Zhenbang not far behind him and said, "Everyone dared not call him Dazhangpan. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you will never be able to understand it."

Li Kaiming nodded and said, "So the famous generals in ancient times paid the most attention to the provocation of the outpost in front of the formation. Before becoming the emperor, Emperor Taizong of Tang personally experienced the battle formation countless times, but before every battle, he had to go to the provocation of the outpost in person. When he was the King of Qin, he was led by the enemy's elite cavalry to attack many times, and several times he escaped dangerously. The Li family in Longxi has been a high-ranking family for generations, and his ancestors were the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. By the time of Li Shimin, his family had been rich and honored for generations, with countless disciples and officials, and he was also appointed as the prince of the country and the legitimate son of the emperor. With such an identity as the commander, he still had to personally investigate the enemy's situation and did not hesitate to take risks. Do I, a leader of the thief, dare to be nobler to the King of Qin?"

Because Li Kaiming was born in the northwest and had a surname of Li, he raised an army against young people and wiped out all the heroes early. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who concealed the world, was very respectful and even had thoughts that if there were more than ten states in the future and he was like a prince, he might as well climb to Li Tang as his ancestor. However, this idea was only hidden deep in his heart, and even Liu Maoqi had never discussed it with him.

Everyone spoke in a low voice and looked at the situation of the army opposite again. Some bandit generals who had been around for a long time sneered.

The troops coming from Fuzhou opposite are really no threat. The only one who looks like a military force is the imperial guards camped on the Minjiang River.

They had sufficient supplies and supplies along the river, and they were well-organized.

However, after camping, a lot of imperial guards went out of the camp at will, and the access control was useless. After dark, groups of imperial guards surrounded by military officers and went to King Zhao to drink and have fun. This is how the generals naturally became abolished military discipline.
