After the imperial edict was issued, the new army battalions, who had been hungry, were immediately cheering.

After practicing for so long, as Xu Jie said, almost everyone was holding their breath in their stomachs.

For months, these strong young men have just repeated almost the same boring movements every day, which is already unbearable.

At this time, the imperial edict means that their hard practice finally has a time to see the truth.

The backbone began to boost morale among the battalions and teams. The veterans were experienced and participated in countless battles. They were of the same background as the new recruits. Although they were somewhat bandit-like, they were approachable and completely different from the noble children in the former army.

At the same time, the officials who followed the army were all sad. They thought His Majesty was too risky.

Chen Kaizhi naturally had his confidence, so after the order was issued, the battalions began to set out one after another.

According to the established plan, their current goal is to face Xiliang all the way to capture Tianshui. Tianshui is an important town in Xiliang. As long as they capture it, they can maintain the connection between Xiliang and the Hu people. Not only that, they can further take the capital of Xiliang, Wuwei City.

Naturally... on the surface, but in fact, Chen Kaizhi tried to use the help of seizing Wuwei and force the Hu people to come here to fight.

This battle is of great importance. Once it comes out of the pass, it means that this army and horses in the western expedition will face countless Hu cavalry and Western Liang army. Chen Kaizhi's central army is the first battalion and the second battalion of the new army, while the fifth battalion serves as the vanguard. The 3,46th battalion protects the left and right wings. The other battalions behind the temples, and the auxiliary soldiers establish a relatively long supply line afterwards to maintain it by the rear army. Therefore, the troops that can be used to fight are roughly around 50,000 to 60,000.

The General Staff had already made plans to attack long before sending troops. After the Pioneer Battalion had already set off, Chen Kaizhi led the central army out of the pass.

When the army passed through the doorway in a mighty manner, the black and humble ministers of the army were bowed down on both sides. Everyone looked sad, but Chen Kaizhi rode his horse and did not go to see them. He came out of the pass and watched the yellow dust rolling in the distance. The barren land stretched far away and could not see the end.

Almost on this land, Chen Kaizhi's ancestors, every emperor who has done something, would go out of the Hexi Corridor or Mobei, and repeatedly give head-on blows to the enemies outside the pass.

Today... this fate fell on Chen Kaizhi again. But this time, he was completely different from his ancestors. He was confident that the new army he led was stronger than his ancestors.

This battle is not only related to the destiny of the country, but also maintains the fate of millions of people. Chen Kaiyi was wearing golden armor. In fact, he was not willing to wear such heavy armor, which gave people a very uncomfortable feeling, but he knew that only in this way could he show his dignity, and only in this way could he let the witnesses pick up greater fighting spirit and confidence. Their emperor was among them, the man wrapped in golden armor was!

The flags were roaring, and the mighty horses were winding like long snakes. The fully armed soldiers walked westward in the yellow sand. The sun rising from the east was left behind by them.

Innumerable scouts set out from all directions frantically. They rode fast horses, searching for and searching for the enemy's traces, and maintaining contact with the nearby battalions. The central army, which advanced side by side, had dozens of miles apart from the left and right wings, and was like a fan, constantly advancing.

The Forward Battalion will always leave the wells they dug at the garrison they left behind, and even some small groups of Xiliang military horses they encountered, guarding them. As soon as Chen Kaizhi's central army arrives, someone will immediately escort them to the central army's tent.

This was the seventh day. In the north, the scouts had issued a large number of Hu cavalry, but it was still uncertain whether it was the main force of the Hu people. However, this was enough to attract Chen Kaizhi's attention, so he quickly ordered the rear team to keep alert, especially to ensure supplies.

When he entered the tent, someone immediately took a captive Qiangu in Xiliang to the camp.

Chen Kaizhi looked at the dirt-faced Qianhu. When Qianhu saw Chen Kaizhi, he hurriedly bowed: "I have met Your Majesty."

Chen Kaizhi took off the heavy iron mask and golden dragon-patterned helmet from his head, revealing his handsome and unconcealed face. He stared at Qianhu.

Qianhu trembled: "I am the Qianhu of Xiliang cavalry camp, and was ordered to set up an ambush nearby... and also collect people who have not yet withdrawn from the nearby villages, as well as food and horses. Xiliang has prepared to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and all those who can be taken away... all of them are taken to Tianshui. If they cannot be taken away, they will burn them... Humiliated... Humiliated actually can leave long ago, but... deliberately stayed..."

"Intentionally?" Chen Kaiyi raised his eyebrows.

Thousands of households looked sad: "The emperor is a minister of Xiliang, who has been guarding the Xiliang Kingdom for generations, but... but... the emperor actually called himself a minister to the Hu people, and called himself a son. He is the son of the Hu people. Then... the ancestors have followed the ancestors to resist the Hu people for generations, wouldn't they become the grandson of the Hu people? The emperor is a Han person. Since five hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, a thousand years ago, a long time ago, a long time ago, a Han person, the ancestors in the ancestral hall have all the Han names and names of the surnames and names of the family genealogy, and the ancestors have been ordered by the emperor to guard and open up the land of Hexi since the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. This has been the case for a thousand years. I am angry and accused me of the tiger, so I deliberately delayed my return and have been here. I respect Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wants to attack the Hu people, I can be a vanguard. Even if I die, I will be worthy of my ancestors."

Chen Kaizhi stared at the thousand households, his face relaxed a lot: "The people of Xiliang are firmly clearing the walls and clearing the fields, and are they gathering all their powers at Tianshui Pass?"

"yes."

Chen Kaizhi didn't seem to be surprised: "What about the Hu people?"

"The Hu people's plan is that a small family of 1,000 may not be able to understand the secrets of heaven. However, the Hu people also heard some rumors, saying that the Hu people were ambushing near Tianshui. Their main force, just waited for His Majesty to arrive in Tianshui, attacked our Han army, and then there was a military horse. It is said that Helian Dasong led the food route of the Han army. The number of people was afraid that it would be less than tens of thousands."

Chen Kaizhi smiled slightly and said, "Sure enough, they fought this plan. The place of the decisive battle was in Tianshui, which led me alone into the deep, but it was strong and cleared the fields. At the same time, attacking the food road, the Hu people's plan was just like this, but... Speaking of which, this plan was successful, it was extremely effective."

Chen Kaizhi said to the thousand households: "Take your people and join the auxiliary military camp for the time being. It's not that I don't want to use you as a pioneer, but I can't use it for the time being. I believe you are really surrendering, go."

Qianhu's eyes were red and he choked and said, "Abide by the order."

So he grew up and walked away quickly.

As soon as he lifted his legs, an Jinyiwei hurriedly came to report to him.

Chen Kaizhi allowed him to come in. This was a hundred households of Jinyiwei. After he bowed down, he said: "Your Majesty, Su Ye, the Grand Secretary of the Xiliang Domestic Cabinet, took his tribesmen eastward overnight. He encountered the Pioneer Camp and said he was coming to see Your Majesty."

Cabinet Grand Secretary...Su Ye...

Chen Kaizhi knew about Su Ye. This person was indeed an important official of Xiliang. He was a veteran of the four dynasties of Xiliang. He had a unique status. It is said that during his tenure as a cabinet minister, he did not dare to have any opinions on the authority of the national teacher and did not say anything. Therefore, many people in Xiliang were dissatisfied with him, but because of this, the national teacher was not bad at him. He even went to see the original Emperor of Xiliang and married the princess of Xiliang to Su Ye's grandson.
