    December 1, the second year of Guangqi.  [][][] Ninety thousand soldiers of the Iron Blood Army set out from Xiangyang and headed towards the capital city of Chang'an.  King Fu Li Rupei was the commander-in-chief of the army, and General Gao Chibang was the deputy commander-in-chief of the army. Generals Zhu Wen, Qian Mi, Yang Xingmi, Lu Sheng'an, etc., as well as Cui Shenyou, Liu Yunzhang, Zheng Yanchang, Wang Shenzhi and others followed the army.  Beijing.  Cui Anqian, Zheng Congdan and others were sent to a place ten miles outside Xiangyang City.  The supply of grain and grass for the army will be handled according to the previous methods. Merchants will be responsible for transportation, and the Iron Blood Army will purchase silver. This way the army will not have to carry too much grain and grass to avoid delaying the journey. Of course, the army must prepare half a month's worth of grain and grass to prevent special circumstances.  .  The 90,000-strong army is divided into two parts: the front army and the middle army. The 20,000-person front army is directly led by Gao Chibang. Li Rupei is in charge of the middle army. Except for Zhu Wen who follows Gao Chibang and assists in commanding the front army, all the other civilian and military generals are in the middle army.  When he set off, Li Rupei was very calm. Although a large part of his efforts after time travel were for the arrival of this day, to be able to lead an army to the capital, to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to create a prosperous Tang Dynasty, but  When this day of innocence came, his heart felt calm, and he thought of responsibility. For a person who traveled through time, this may be a bit unimaginable. Before time travel, Li Rupei was an ordinary civil servant. He was middle-aged, neither up nor down.  Good or bad, without any passion, it is said that after time travel, he should indulge in pleasure and enjoy life.  ¡°Perhaps in Li Rupei¡¯s heart, there is still the ambition that flowed from the original body, or it may be the unyielding fighting spirit that burst out from the deep experience of pain after being displaced for a long time.  Ten miles outside Xiangyang City, there is the famous Changting.  This place has long been a place of worship and attention for literati. No matter what kind of life, separation or death, they always come here to greet or see off.  When the Iron-Blooded Army returned to Xiangyang several times, the officials from the Daxingtai Prefecture came to Changting to greet them. When the Iron-blooded Army went out to fight, the officials from the Daxingtai Prefecture also had to be sent here. Where the government values ????the place, the people naturally pay more attention to it.  value.  Chang Pavilion is actually a pavilion. It was later called Ten Mile Chang Pavilion by literati and poets. This was also because of a poem by Li Rupei. In fact, Li Rupei hardly wrote any poems after that, just by chance.  There is a poem left, and the sentence that comes up is "What year will the frost cover the sky in the long pavilion ten miles away, and the blue hair and white hair will be old." After this poem spread, it reminded the literati and poets of the long pavilion ten miles outside Xiangyang City. They believed that Li Rupei wrote this poem  The poem was written specifically for Changting, so from this time on, the reputation of Shili Changting spread.  As the Iron Blood Army regained Longyou Road, annihilated Tubo, and brought Tibet under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, the reputation of Shili Changting became more and more important.  Countless men of letters and even officials came here specifically to worship.  When Li Rupei walked into the pavilion, a wry smile appeared on his lips. Although communications in this era were very underdeveloped.  But there are still fans, otherwise an ordinary pavilion would not be praised as the famous Ten Mile Pavilion.  Inside the pavilion.  The wine has already been laid out.  Those who followed Li Rupei into the pavilion were Cui Anqian, Zheng Congdan, Gao Chibang and others.  Li Rupei walked quickly to the stone table, raised his hand and patted off the sealing mud on the wine jar, and a scent of wine instantly wafted out.  Li Rupei didn¡¯t ask for anyone¡¯s help. He picked up the wine jar and poured wine into a dozen wine bowls on the table.  After putting down the wine jar, he picked up one of the wine bowls and spoke to the south.  "The Iron-Blooded Army went out this time for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. It has been eight years. Many of the brothers who followed me have been buried underground. They can no longer see the situation today. This is the first bowl of wine. I wish you all.  If you can hear it, the spirit in heaven bless the Tang Dynasty, bless the Iron Blood Army, and bless the strength of the Tang Dynasty. Thank you very much." Li Rupei poured the wine on the ground and broke the wine bowl with force.  Immediately, Li Rupei picked up the wine bowl again.  "Everyone, pick up your wine bowl and enjoy the fragrance of the wine. How can you live up to this great time? This expedition of the Iron-Blooded Army will become a highlight in the history of the Tang Dynasty. History will remember you. Come on, everyone, together with me,  Drink this glass of wine to bless the Iron Blood Army and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty." After the wine was drunk, the crisp sound sounded again, and everyone broke the wine bowl in their hands.  After finishing the wine, Li Rupei spoke to Cui Anqian and others.  "After a long journey, I have to say goodbye. I leave it to you all to Daxingtai Mansion on the Southern Road. I believe that it won't take long before I and you can meet in Chang'an, the capital." Li Rupei's confidence burst out at this moment.  Now, the winter sun looks warm. The sun shines on Li Rupei.His face was shining brightly, and everyone suddenly wanted to worship. However, they knew that Li Rupei did not like this kind of kneeling, but the moment Li Rupei actually ascended the throne, they must follow the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.  Kneeling.  The army set off, and as the commander of the former army, Gao Chibang reported the itinerary to Li Rupei as usual.  "Commander, the former army plans to arrive at Henan Prefecture in five days. My subordinates plan to capture the entire Henan Prefecture in two days. After taking Henan Prefecture, the former army directly marches to Luoyang, the eastern capital. My subordinates plan to use  In two days, the eastern capital Luoyang was captured. From the eastern capital Luoyang to the capital, the most important pass was Tongguan. My subordinates planned to capture Tongguan in three days. Including the time for marching in the middle, it would take half a month.  The army arrived at Tongguan, waiting for the arrival of the commander-in-chief and the Chinese army. "This is the most important moment to attack or enter the capital. Li Rupei must be personally involved. This is a symbol of supreme authority and cannot be replaced by anyone else.  of.  "I understand, Vice Admiral Gao, please pay more attention during the march. Although the Shence Army's combat effectiveness is average, you still have to pay attention to the vassal towns in the north. Henan Prefecture and Luoyang, the eastern capital, should not be the places where vassal towns have their hands on. But the Iron-Blooded Army marches north  Come on, the action is big, maybe there will be some action in the northern vassal town. " "I obey, I hope that the northern vassal town can take action at this time, so that I can destroy them." Li Rupei's face showed a smile.  "Vice Admiral Gao has such self-confidence, I am relieved, but as I said, the road must be walked step by step. Now the focus of the Iron Blood Army is the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang. As for the northern vassal towns, that is the next step.  The first step to consider is just in case. According to the current situation, the feudal town will not dare to take action. Otherwise, the iron-blooded army will attack with all their strength. They will not be able to resist at all. The truly powerful feudal town is still a certain distance away from Henan Prefecture. It is a long distance.  Rushing forward, facing the recharged iron-blooded army, they should know what the outcome will be. "The 20,000 soldiers of the front army marched faster, and the Chinese army had a larger number, so the speed was naturally slower. However, the distance between the front army and the Chinese army was slower.  The distance is no more than fifty miles. This distance is nothing to the brave soldiers of the Iron Blood Army. Even if the front army is in danger, the rescue is very fast. Besides, the combat effectiveness of the 20,000 Iron Blood Army soldiers is by no means ordinary.  Unless the northern vassal towns unite, even the Ya'er Army under Li Keyong will not dare to attack the Jagged Army easily.  Xiangyang is not very far from the eastern capital Luoyang and the capital Chang'an, and Li Rupei knows very well that this attack is largely a deterrent to the north. There are very few real fightings. The garrison in Henan Prefecture does not dare to fight with the Iron-Blooded Army.  To counterbalance, one should wait for the wind and surrender. The Shence Army stationed in Luoyang, the eastern capital, is not a match for the Iron-Blooded Army and will not resist on a large scale. They all know that blocking the torrent of the Iron-Blooded Army is to use a mantis' arm as a chariot.  As for the situation in Chang'an, the capital, it shouldn't be that complicated. The only variable is Yang Fugong. I don't know what Yang Fugong will do. If Yang Fugong is wise, he can still save his family and life. If it disrupts the situation in the capital, it may even lead to the collapse of Chang'an, the capital.  , Li Rupei will never let Li Rupei go.  Ten days have passed, and the Iron Blood Army has made rapid progress, beyond Li Rupei's imagination.  The Iron-Blooded Army entered Henan Prefecture. The governor and prefect of Henan Prefecture led all officials out of the city to greet them and presented the map. The Iron-blooded Army did not encounter any resistance and occupied Kaifeng City without any bloodshed.  After occupying Kaifeng, Gao Chibang led the front army to reach the eastern capital Luoyang in just one day with lightning speed. The Shence Army stationed in the eastern capital fled after hearing the news and abandoned the eastern capital Luoyang.  Along the direction of Tongguan, he desperately retreated towards the capital. Gao Chibang ordered Zhu Wen to garrison Luoyang, the eastern capital, and personally led an army of 10,000 to pursue him. When they arrived at Tongguan, the sergeants stationed at Tongguan surrendered immediately without any hesitation. This made Gao Chibang very sad.  I was unhappy, leading an army of 20,000 people and running around non-stop. As a result, there was not a single fight, not even a small-scale fight.  It was originally planned to take half a month for the Iron Blood Army to capture Tongguan, but it took only ten days to capture Tongguan.  The capital city of Chang'an is already in sight. If it were not for the arrival of Li Rupei and the Chinese army, Gao Chibang would even lead an army of 10,000 people and head directly towards the capital city of Chang'an.  Li Rupei was also caught off guard. He did not expect that the army would occupy Tongguan so smoothly. It seems that Yang Fugong was not fully prepared, or he did not expect that the Iron Blood Army would move so quickly.  After receiving the report from Gao Chibang, Li Rupei accelerated his journey and led an army of 50,000 people towards Tongguan, leaving behind an army of 30,000 people to escort the grain and grass.  When entering Tongguan, Li Rupei had too many emotions when looking at the majestic Tongguan. When he was excited, he couldn't help but read a poem: The road through Xiongguan is really like iron, and?Step forward from the beginning.  If nothing unexpected happens, Li Rupei will be able to enter the capital within three days.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
