Heading to Youzhou Province
"What an elite army!"
On the parade stage, Zheng Yuanzhou looked at the numerous soldiers below the stage and could not help but reveal an extremely shocked expression.
He was responsible for recruiting these soldiers. Two months ago, they were just a pile of loose sand and a motley crew.
Now, they had become such a terrifying army!
Watching these soldiers drill, he had no doubt about how strong their combat strength was.
Not to mention anything else, just this vigorous and austere aura alone had already surpassed most of the army!
Feng Li, Yue Fei, and the other generals were also shocked.
Although they knew that Li Chengdao's training method was extraordinary, they only understood how powerful it was after seeing it for themselves!
The seemingly simple military stance, goose-step, and splitting up of the team had actually achieved such an effect.
"Your Highness is truly a genius! Only His Highness could think of such a training method.”
Xue Wanche said with heartfelt admiration.
Li Chengdao didn't get carried away when he heard these praises.
He looked at the magnificent new army and could not help but clench his fists tightly, his eyes filled with passion.
With this army and the 7,000 white-robed cavalry, there was nothing to fear even if they went to Youzhou!
Even if Wang Junlang was the local tyrant of Youzhou, he would still be suppressed by this powerful dragon!
After the military parade, the army officially set off.
Li Chengdao left Xingyang with seven thousand white-robed soldiers and sixteen thousand new soldiers, heading toward Youzhou.
Zheng Jibo and other Xingyang Zheng's personnel, all the way to see off 30 miles.
……
Youzhou was a bitterly cold place on the border, guarding the north and south. It had always been an important border area, bordering the Turks.
Xingyang was far from Youzhou. It took Li Chengdao and his army more than half a month to reach Youzhou.
"The smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun sets on the river.”
Li Chengdao felt the rough wind that was mixed with sand hitting his face. He cast his gaze to the desert in front of him and could not help but recite.
In the past, when he read this poem, he didn't think much of it. Now that he had truly come to the frontier fortress, he finally understood how true this poem of Wang Mojie's was. This was the true scenery of the frontier fortress!
"Your Highness is indeed talented in literature. Good poem!”
Yue Fei's eyes lit up as he praised.
Li Lizhi, who was sitting in the carriage with Zhangsun Wugou, Concubine Yang, and Li Chengqian, pursed her lips when she heard this.
"You're still in the mood to write poems at the frontier fortress.”
Although she also felt that Li Chengdao's two lines of poetry were very good, she did not want to admit that Li Chengdao was outstanding because of her bad impression of him.
"The frontier fortress is bitter and cold, but in my opinion, it's much better than scheming in Chang 'an. I don't have to guard against your father's plot to kill me every day. Moreover, you and his relatives are suffering with him.”
Li Chengdao turned his head and smiled at Li Lizhi, revealing his pearly white teeth.
After a period of hard work, Li Chengdao had lost a bit of his pampered youth and had gained a bit of a heroic spirit. He was becoming more and more charming.
"You!"
Li Lizhi was so angry that she couldn't speak. The three of them were forcefully brought to the border by Li Chengdao. Otherwise, who would want to come to such a place?
"Lizhi, shut up."
Zhangsun Wugou tugged at Li Lizhi.
However, if he kept pushing Li Chengdao, it would inevitably make the other party more excited.
"Why didn't Your Highness stay in Xingyang? Why did you come to a place like Youzhou?" she asked.”
After spending some time together, she had already confirmed that Li Chengdao would not kill them for the time being, so her fear had lessened a lot.
However, she also understood that she didn't kill them because they were still useful chips. If Li Shiming really forced her too much, she believed that Li Chengdao wouldn't hesitate.
"Why are you here? You have to ask that traitor what he did.”
Li Chengdao sneered." Li Shimin drafted an imperial edict in the name of the emperor's grandfather and ordered me to come to Youzhou. Isn't his purpose to use the Turks to exhaust my men and prevent me from developing steadily in Xingyang?”
"Wang Junlang is Li Shiming's trusted aide. I'm curious how he will deal with me.”
Hearing Li Chengdao's words, Zhangsun Wugou was extremely shocked. It turned out that Li Shimin had forged an imperial edict to let Li Chengdao come to Youzhou.
"General Wang is an old official of the Heavenly Policy Office. He has tens of thousands of soldiers and is stationed in Youzhou. Now that Li Chengdao has come to his territory, perhaps the three of us will have a chance to be saved.”
Zhangsun Wugou thought to himself as he planned to contact Wang Junlang after arriving at Youzhou City.
"Alright, the break is over. Let's continue!”
Li Chengdao withdrew his gaze and prepared to order the army to continue moving toward Youzhou City.
"Report!"
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. A scout rode his horse to Li Chengdao and dismounted. He knelt on one knee and said,
"Your Highness! Ten li to the south, a group of Turkic cavalry was pillaging a village!”
"What?"
Li Chengdao's expression changed slightly, then he asked directly,""How many people are there?"
"About 1,000 people. There are no other reinforcements within a 30-mile radius!”
the scout replied respectfully.
"Humph! A mere thousand Turkic cavalry dared to invade Youzhou and cause trouble! How audacious!"
Li Chengdao snorted coldly, his expression extremely cold.
"Where is Feng Li?"
"I'm here!"
Feng Li responded and went out.
"This king orders you to lead three thousand white-robed soldiers and exterminate this Turkic cavalry, leaving no survivors!”
Li Chengdao ordered, his words filled with killing intent.
"I accept your orders!"
Feng Li received the order, then ordered the three thousand white-robed soldiers to set off with a murderous aura.
