Youzhou City of the Great Tang
After the last battle of Youzhou, Youzhou was reborn.
Li Jing, the Governor of Youzhou, led the people of Youzhou to rebuild Youzhou City and ordered his most trusted man, Su Dingfang, to recruit soldiers from Youzhou Prefecture.
The Great Tang government soldiers had a military household system, and once they entered the military household, they would be hereditary.
When the soldiers died, the sons of his family took over his military position. Thus, Su Dingfang recruited quickly. In less than seven days, Youzhou had another twenty thousand soldiers.
"Dingfang, why is there only twenty thousand soldiers in the recruitment of the Great Tang Army?"
When Li Jing, the Governor of Youzhou, received the military report, he looked at Su Dingfang, the Deputy General beside him, in confusion.
"General, Youzhou has always been a war-torn land. Over the years, the soldiers of the Tang Empire have fought for Youzhou. There has been no succession." Su Dingfang sighed.
"Father and son, father and son, father and son"
"How many fathers and sons do we still have in the Great Tang army?”
Su Dingfang shook his head, his eyes filled with sorrow.
Li Jing clenched his fists silently and said,""This is all the fault of those damned Turks.”
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Su Dingfang.""During this period of time, the two tribes of Goguryeo, the Qiang tribes bordering Youzhou, and the Turkic tribes were all massacred. Have you found out who did it?"
When Su Dingfang heard Li Jing's question, a smile immediately appeared on his face.""Haha, General, who do you think did this?”
Li Jing, the Governor of Youzhou, was slightly stunned. He looked at Su Dingfang and said,""It's him? Could it really be him?"
Su Dingfang nodded heavily and said: "I went to ask the people of the Great Tang who had been rescued, and they all said that a golden-armored god had appeared, wielding a coiling dragon scarlet-gold halberd.”
When he said this, Su Dingfang took a deep breath and said with admiration in his eyes,"Soldiers come out of the desert, kill the barbarians, and slaughter their tribes.”
"If it's true, this General Cao is truly the nemesis of the Outsiders.”
Li Jing muttered to himself.
"General, shouldn't General Cao be returning soon?"
Su Dingfang blinked and reminded him.
Li Jing frowned, but then he relaxed and said,""Yes, that's right. Today was the seventh day since Cao Jing, the Soul Suppressing General of the Great Tang, had sworn an oath. It was about time he returned.“
"Today is the seventh day of the death of the soldiers and the people of the Great Tang. As the Governor of Youzhou, I will go and pay my respects.”
After saying that, Li Jing and Su Dingfang brought the Governor's Mansion.
When they entered the streets of Youzhou City, they found that all the commoners in Youzhou City had left Youzhou City at the same time.
They were heading in the direction where the civilians and soldiers were buried during the Battle of Youzhou.
........
On the northern mountain of Youzhou, the wind was howling.
Over 100,000 citizens of Youzhou were gathered here. They all remembered that today was the seventh day of the death of the Tang soldiers and the Tang people.
They also remembered the oath that Cao Jing, the Soul Suppressing General of the Great Tang, had made that day to slaughter the seven tribes as a sacrifice to the souls of the Great Tang.
The scenes from seven days ago were still vivid in their minds. They saw the sudden rise of the Yin fog and the human figures bowing to Cao Jing.
And now, they were all here.
They didn't have the ability, but they had placed their hatred for the Turks on Cao Jing.
Therefore, they were now looking forward to Cao Jing.
Li Jing, the Governor of Youzhou, led the 20,000 Tang cavalry here with the Red Horsetail Girl. Behind him, the 20,000 soldiers of Youzhou Prefecture had tears in their eyes, because they were either buried here with their family members or comrades.
Today was the seventh day, so they should come to pay their respects.
"Is he here?"
Li Jing was shocked by this scene. He didn't expect that all the commoners in Youzhou City of Tang Empire would remember Cao Jing's oath and come to the North Mountain to wait for him.
"An hour ago, the scouts sent to Bing Province reported that they haven't found any traces of them."
Su Dingfang smiled bitterly.
"What about the other directions?"
"There's also no news from the Liaodong scouts."
"Where's Mo Bei?"
"The scouts of the North Desert have yet to return.”
Su Dingfang said helplessly.
Li Jing rubbed his head." If he doesn't show up as scheduled, it won't be good for his reputation as the Soul Suppressing General of the Great Tang."”
But as soon as he finished speaking, thousands of cavalrymen from the north of the desert appeared, stirring up dust.
Li Jing and Su Dingfang were startled, then they said happily,""He's here, as expected!"
