After lucky and Li Shunsheng were taken into custody in the capital of the northern rebels, the operation of the Red Blood Empire also began.

Liu Fusu said before that without affecting the overall economy, the supply that can be allocated to the Eagle Flag Army can only support 20,000 people, and the war cycle is three months.

This is not an exaggeration. The first Northern Expedition was damaged and the Red Blood Empire has not yet recovered.

This time, the reason why the Eagle Flag Army was able to mobilize 100,000 troops was that Leng Yuan overdrawd the supply inventory, and on the other hand, Luo You's "sponsorship".

Luo You personally provided more than half of the military supplies to the Eagle Flag Army. In exchange, from the date of supply delivery, the death row camp immediately had the power to recruit civilians in the northern region.

This means that from now on, in the northern border areas, the source of recruits in the death row camp is no longer just criminals, but like the various military regions of the empire, they can recruit people from the people.

This is a very cost-effective business. Luo You used the "infinite acceptance" ability obtained from the Big Tengu to send Leng Yuan a variety of military supplies worth about 6 billion Berries, thus opening up a recruitment channel in the northern border. It can be imagined that the death row camp will expand on an extremely strong scale next.

After collecting all the food and supplies, Leng Yuan spent a lot of time on coordinating the logistics line because Li Shunsheng was away. However, compared with the 900,000 troops of the Northern Expedition, the scale of the 100,000 Eagle Flag Army was already very small and did not expose the shortcomings in coordinating.

Soon, 100,000 soldiers established outposts along the way, and the vast funeral troops set out from Chang'an and advanced all the way to the three northern provinces.

The body of Jiangzong had been specially treated with anti-corrosion and was consolidated by the embalmer. He looked like he was asleep. He lay in a sandalwood-carved coffin with a solemn red blood flag. No matter how controversial he defected to the Red Blood Empire in his later years or formed a northern rebel army, it would not be able to erase the old man's lifelong contribution to the motherland.

Along the way, people from all over the empire spontaneously formed a long street to pay tribute to their remains, mourn silently, and see them off for the emperor. It is obvious that his efforts for the empire over the past century have not been forgotten.

When marching in the wilderness, as expected, the funeral team was constantly attacked by ferocious beasts, but the strength of the 100,000 Eagle Flag elite was as strong as the Great Wall, with a defense line extending for dozens of miles. The most central funeral team was not even heard of the ferocious beasts, let alone being attacked.

Chang'an, the capital of the Red Blood Empire, is more than 1,200 kilometers away from Muxiang, the city on the front line of the northern rebels. In order to show respect, the funeral team relied on walking all the way, and walked for a whole month.

When the funeral team arrived at Muxiang, it was already spring. Muxiang was full of pear blossoms, like a thick and colorful oil painting. From a distance, it looked like clouds and brocade, with smoke and catkins stacked layer by layer, and the sky was filled with intoxicating fragrance of flowers, which was as refreshing as mellow wine.

If it were before, the Imperial Army entered the country, the city defense force in Muxiang would definitely be nervous, but the superiors had already said hello, and this team was just for funerals, so the entire city did not enter the war.

When the team drove to the gate of Muxiang City, an eagle flag general walked out of the array and shouted to the defenders on the city tower: "The body of the general sect has arrived, please open the city gate!"

The city defense captain in Muxiang was stunned. After a while, he shouted and said, "Empire generals, if you have shortage of supplies, we can send someone to provide them, but the city gate is not convenient to open."

The general of the Eagle Banner shouted again: "This behavior makes the people in the Mu Township admire the remains of the general. Please open the city gate!"

At this moment, the Muxiangcheng Defense Forces fell into a tangle and had an order from above. If the Red Blood Empire wanted to replenish supplies, they could give it a little. After all, the army set out from Chang'an and protected the coffin and walked 1,200 kilometers. They were too trapped, so they could help.

But the superiors didn't say letting people in the city, this is not a trivial matter.

The adjutant asked the city defense captain: "Captain, what should we do? Should we put people in?"

The city defense captain was very hesitant: "In reason, you and I have the responsibility to defend the city, so we should not let anyone enter the city. But for the sake of love, the remains of the clan are here, and his soul returns to his hometown, so he should be admired by the people."

The adjutant nodded and said, "That's right, the people in the city learned that the body of the sect was outside the door and had spontaneously formed a long street. They knelt down and petitioned, hoping that the Imperial Army could send the body of the sect into the city."

The city defense captain kept rubbing his chin and said in embarrassment: "Muxiang City is as solid as a soup, and can withstand the impact of a hundred thousand troops, but if people are put in, what if they have any malicious intentions..."

The adjutant comforted: "It's okay, Leng Yuan's two men were stuck in the northern capital. If they did something stupid, they only needed a knife to the top and the two men would fall to the ground."

The city defense captain thought for a while, nodded, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. After a moment, he ordered the city gate control room: "Open the city gate!"

After the city gate opened, the 100,000 Eagle Flag Army that were attending the funeral did not all enter the city, but instead divided more than 200 people into the city, led by Leng Yuan himself.

When the city defense captain saw the legendary eagle general, his powerful aura made him nervous and subconsciously salute.

Leng Yuan nodded to him and said, "Thank you, captain, for opening the city gate, keeping the sect's body behind you, please pay tribute to the people of Muxiang."

The city defense captain glanced at the body of the general in the sandalwood coffin, sighed heavily, and bowed: "General Leng Yuan has a deep affection for his master and disciple, and it is not easy to walk to the general in this place."

"When it comes to this, I have something to ask for." Leng Yuan turned around, waved her hand, and the Eagle Banner military officer carried it into the stretcher of many wounded people. She said, "For the past month, the team has been attacked by ferocious beasts, and some soldiers have been seriously injured. The journey to the funeral is long, and they may not be able to hold on. If possible, please take them in to recuperate in Muxiang. When I finish my funeral, I will return to my country and bring them back. I will thank you very much at that time."

The city defense captain hesitated for a while and subconsciously glanced at the people nearby who formed the long street.

An old woman walked out tremblingly and said with a whisper: "Master Bing, they must be exhausted when they escorted Jiang Zong's body here."

Another old man echoed: "Yes, my wife and I have a bed at home. If you can't let go of your military camp, let us go to our house and we will cook for him!"

"Oh haha, that's not necessary. There are many empty beds in the ward of the military camp." The city defense captain laughed helplessly. He thought to himself that there were only a hundred wounded people anyway, which was not a big deal. Moreover, there were hostages in the capital. Leng Yuan dared not use any tricks. If you can help with this little help, please help.

The city defense captain nodded to Leng Yuan: "No problem, stay the wounded."

Leng Yuan's dark purple eyes flashed with a mysterious color. She smiled at the city defense captain and said, "Thank you."
