The next morning, the sun had just emerged, and Yi Feng and his party left the city in a mighty manner and started their journey.

On the road outside Dingyuan Gate, the south gate of Huaihuang City, there were red and green hangings, and five-colored flags were waving in the wind, like a wedding ceremony during the New Year. The mighty eight hundred guards were all wearing bright navy blue breastplates, fiery red brocade robes, a large cloak of fire fox fur, and a bronze tiger head. They all rode marooned with maroon iron hoofs in the north of Mobei, and were majestic in line. Dozens of trumpets were blown, dozens of drums were beating, and carriages slowly drove out of the city gate.

The purple handsome flag was embroidered with a white tiger, dancing in the wind, Yi Feng wore a purple gold crown and an embroidered gold-purple battle robe, and stood on the side of the road with a solemn expression. Wei Zheng, chief clerk Xu Decheng, chief clerk Qin Qiong, chief clerk of the second battalion, chief clerk of the second battalion, chief clerk of the second battalion, general of the first battalion, Wang Bao and others were all energetic and stood behind him. Yi Feng's body was stronger than when he came to the beginning of the year. The battles over the past year left a mark of iron and blood on his face. Even the original green stubble had grown into a short moustache of about an inch. After a little trimming, coupled with the firm face and bronze skin color, it naturally made people ignore him when he was only nineteen or twenty years old, and only the majesty of a young commander was felt.

The teams traveling west to Beijing continued to gather. Yi Feng glanced at him one by one and said to Wang Bao behind him, "Let's go." Wang Bao nodded, then rushed forward and passed the order, shouting: "The command of the command of the commander, set off!"

After shouting, the Baiqi, the one among the eight hundred guards who served as the pioneer of the road, had already taken the lead in driving the way under the guidance of a yellow open road flag. He rushed south lightly.

The team entering Beijing is very large, and Yi Feng will never ignore his safety, especially when he just offended King Yang Liang of Han. At the same time, he was always regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the prince. This time he entered Beijing, Yi Feng brought all his eight hundred guards with him. In addition, he arranged the 100 flag guards of the flag guards to protect them from the left and right sides of the team. The three intelligence agencies also sent troops to attack the front station early, preparing for reconnaissance work and collecting intelligence according to the scheduled route. In addition, Yi Feng

On the grounds of escorting ten thousand horses and many gifts presented to the emperor, 1,000 elite soldiers were drawn as escorts to follow him. This was a huge team, with 800 cavalry guards on the surface. But the 1,000 followers were also elite soldiers. There were also three intelligence departments including 100 flag guards and special departments to fight for the front station. They also chose to take the safe route of Hebei, Henan, and the King of Jin in Luoyang and then joining Guanzhong to Beijing, to ensure that there is no accident.

The front troop has already begun. Gao Qianxue and Murong Qiangwei held their son and led a group of handsome concubines and female relatives to see off. Gao Bo, Pei Zeng, who were entrusted by Yi Feng with the important task of staying behind, also came to see off. There were also a large number of merchants from the Central Plains who also chose to take the caravan that was about to return. Following Yi Feng's huge team is not only safe and secure, but also can also borrow money to waive many checkpoints on the road. Maybe there will be a chance to get some relationship with Yi Shuai. Many merchants who did not return at this time have also changed their time to this time.

Uncle Gao is getting older. Although his days are no longer running around. He is worried, but he relaxes. Instead, he is much older and his hair and beard is completely white. The old man handed it to Yi Feng with a glass of wine, "All the way is good, go early and pay it back soon."

"Don't worry, I will be back in the second and third months at the latest." This time was Yi Feng's speculation based on his time of the Sui Dynasty and next year's war. The battle between the imperial court and the Turks was imperative and could no longer be slow. Generally speaking, the Turks would choose to invade the south in winter. It was the time when the horses were high and the horses were fat, especially in the north. After winter, not only did the horses have a fat layer, but the herdsmen also had time to gather to fight. More importantly, the broad rivers in the northern Central Plains would be insurmountable natural dangers that Turkic horses could not overcome in summer.

But in winter, it will become a smooth road. This winter, the Turks will definitely not be able to fight, because the Sui Dynasty had already successfully supported a pro-Sui Turi Turi Li Xiao Khan in the rear of the Turks. If Dulan Khan wants to invade the south in large quantities, he must first settle the nails behind the Sui Dynasty. Then he can move south with confidence. In addition, they are also contacting the Datou Khan of the Western Turks. The East-West Turkic Khan is thousands of hours away, and it takes a long time for the messengers to travel. Moreover, as Yi Feng knows, the war will indeed start in the spring next year.

The Sui Dynasty chose to take action at the end of spring, which was a good time. Spring was just before summer came. At that time, the rivers began to thaw, but the forage was about to be used up, and the war horses entered the thinnest period. The season was not conducive to the Turkic invasion south, but it had little impact on the people of the Central Plains who attacked the grasslands. Moreover, the court also needed so much time to mobilize this national war.

As long as the war starts, Yi Feng will definitely be able to return to Huaihuang one step ahead of time. In such a war, even the emperor who is rich in the world must have all his strength to treat it. Yi Feng's Huaihuang army occupies an important position and is of considerable strength. In this war, the emperor will definitely send his strength to the field. Besides Yi Feng, the emperor will not be able to send another person to command Huaihuang's troops to the battlefield. Therefore, Yi Feng firmly believes that when the imperial court makes the final preparations for the war in the next year, he will definitely be able to return to Huaihuang.

"You have to be more careful. In the past, the Tiger Alliance occupied Huaihuang for several years but no one cared about it. First of all, Huaihuang was just a bitter and cold place outside the frontier, with nothing. Although it was located in an important place, the Turks were still powerful in the early years, and the imperial court had been preparing for war, but it had not yet reached the power to completely suppress the Turks. Therefore, although the three years of Kaihuang and the seventh years of Kaihuang, in fact, these two wars were more of the Turks' own civil wars. The Sui army actually only played the role of a helper. He helped one side to fight the other, but never really fought against the entire Turks. Therefore, the imperial court and the Turks were both

Be careful and alert to each other. Although the court received the surrender of the Turks, in fact, the Central Plains only had only one name. In the north, especially the border with the Eastern Turks, it had already retreated from the six towns of Wei to the foot of the Great Wall. The grasslands in the south of the desert were basically occupied by the Turks. The Ming Dynasty took the initiative to resettle the Turks in the inner area by the imperial court, but in fact the Turks were still strong, and the court could not stop the Turks from occupying the grassland at the foot of the Yinshan Mountain. The two Great Walls in the north, the first Yunshuo Prefectures in the Great Wall, including the newly established Guizhou, actually had no population at all, and only some military towns were used as a warning.

These areas are just buffer zones between them in fact and the Turks. As for our current Huaihuang, they have not been included in the boundary of the court. They are just a buffer zone between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks and the major Hu tribes in the East." Speaking of these, Gao Bo was very familiar with this, "but these are just temporary stopgap measures, and they were just a strategy when the court could not defeat the Turks for the time being. Now the court has been preparing for many years, with more than one million households, more than 40 million people, more than one million soldiers, million soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of food and grass. The Turks are even weaker under the attack of internal strife and the court's separation and weakness.

The wartime opportunity comes, and this battle will inevitably make the Great Sui Dynasty the strongest dynasty in the world, and the Turks cannot stop it. After this battle, the Turks will definitely truly rely on the Great Sui Dynasty. At that time, the boundaries of the imperial court will advance northward. Not to mention that they will immediately occupy the entire southern desert area, but at least south of Yinshan will be actually controlled by the imperial court. Huaihuang is an important mountain pass for Yanshan, Taihang and Yinshan, and is the most important passageway to the eastern part of the grassland and the northern part of the Central Plains. For such an important position, I am afraid that the imperial court will not easily fall into the hands of others, and will definitely find ways to take it into its own hands. What's more, we Huaihuang are still a money tree and a treasure pot now."

Bo Gao was very worried that the court would take this opportunity to keep Yi Feng in the capital, and then send a great general to replace Yi Feng, take away control of Huaihuang's army, and then take down the entire Huaihuang.

Yi Feng admitted that Gao Bo was indeed very good at grasping the overall situation, but he was familiar with history. He knew that the battle between the Great Sui Dynasty and the Turks was about to begin, and the battle would start next spring, and a great victory would be achieved. On the other hand, he knew that after defeating the Turks, the Great Sui Dynasty would begin to turn into a period of fierce internal power struggles. The crown prince Yang Yong would be deposed and the King of Jin Yang Guang would be established. At that time, the King of Qin Yang Jun would die early, and the King of Shu Yang Xiu would be convicted and placed under house arrest. The next few years would be a period of fierce fighting within the Sui Dynasty, and the Emperor Yang Jian was old. He would not have the energy and ambition to expand territory or something. His last few years would only be a series of stupid moves. Only after Yang Guang came to power would the Great Sui Dynasty turn its focus to the outside world and to a wider border. But there was still a long distance away from that time.

"Don't worry, no one can take away Huaihuang. I recruited and selected the troops here, and I built the city and military town here." Yi Feng also had the biggest support that there were 100,000 people here, and only he could raise them. If someone else, he could get Huaihuang and occupy Huaihuang Town, but he would never get all the money-making transactions in Huaihuang. As long as Yi Feng drew his hands, the Huaihuang market was still there, but the most important source of wealth that could help support such a large army would no longer be. At that time, even the court would not have money to support such a large army, especially an army with such high treatment. Without the current generous treatment, would the Huaihuang army still exist? From frugality to extravagance to extravagance to frugality, Yi Feng believed that if the court controlled the Huaihuang army but could not provide such generous treatment to support the army, the army would be dispersed in a few days.

Only Yi Feng can raise such a large army. The generous treatment of soldiers has always been the heaviest pressure on Huaihuang, but in fact it has always been the most reliable insurance in Yi Feng's hands. (To be continued...)
