Chapter 1183 The protective color of armor

In fact, Li Xiang already knew the fighting ability of these people from Huo Qubing's tone. Putting them on the battlefield would definitely not embarrass the Tang Dynasty.

But war is not that simple. Take the attack on Fuso as an example. Although Li Xiang behaved very freely, he had made preparations for nearly half a year.

The scale of this war is more difficult than attacking Fusang, especially as there are many small countries on the Chenla side. These countries are very staunch in nature. According to Li Xiang's understanding of them, if they are expected to surrender voluntarily , that is probably unlikely.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, this group of my men, brothers, as long as Your Highness points out the target for us, no matter where the target is, we will be able to defeat it for Your Highness, and we will never be sloppy."

Huo Qubing saw Li Xiang meditating and thought he was worried about the enemies in the south. In Huo Qubing's eyes, these enemies were really not worth mentioning. The army is almost no match for them.

"It's good to have confidence, but war is not a child's play after all. You still have to be prepared. I know you don't need logistics to fight a war. You just need to keep pushing forward. But we don't just win There is also good governance here, turning this place into a foreign vassal of the Tang Dynasty..."

After Li Xiang said this, Huo Qubing seemed a little confused. This guy's mind is a bit simple, and he always wants to fight. As for what happens after the war, that's what you civil servants should think about. Anyway, I will just Responsible for fighting, I don't care about the rest.

As a general, Huo Qubing can certainly think about problems in this way, and Li Xiang also encourages them to think in this way. The problem will be simpler if they do this. But if Li Xiang also thinks in this way, then some things may not be easy to handle.

"You just need to take the remaining people back to Chang'an. Let Huo Qubing temporarily serve as my bodyguard, and the commander will remove another 3,000 people from his army."

Since there was no way to test the combat effectiveness of this army, Li Xiang was going to take them with him to see. Anyway, the journey back to Chang'an was still long, and there would always be opportunities to use troops on the way.

"Your Highness, the new people have forgotten us old people. We escorted His Highness from Chang'an to Fusang, and then from Fusang to Lingnan Road. Unexpectedly, His Highness sent us back with just one word."

Su Dingfang looked like he was about to cry, but he did not argue with Huo Qubing about this matter. After all, Huo Qubing had been training here for two or three years, and he really needed a chance to show his face.

What's more, it has been nearly a year since Su Dingfang's men left Chang'an. Many of their children did not know them, so they took this opportunity to rush back to Chang'an to allow them to meet their families.

And before His Highness returns to Chang'an, these people can take a big vacation at home.

The officers and soldiers on the naval warships can still rotate to fight, but the guards around Li Xiang have not been rotated, and they can only stay next to Li Xiang.

There was no chance before, but now I finally found an opportunity.

"What are you talking about, General Su? His Highness is preparing to test us along the way. There was no effective test just now, and His Highness is already feeling uncomfortable."

Huo Qubing was also a smart man and naturally understood the reason why Li Xiang asked them to serve as guards. However, his army was almost all-powerful. No matter what Li Xiang asked them to do, they were able to do it very well.

What's more, recalling Chang'an from the south also passed through many mountains and forests along the way, which was just a good time for his army to protect and give Su Dingfang's army a little rest.

"As long as you know, I have to see the results in two or three years. Let your people prepare supplies for General Su and others on the road first, try not to disturb the people, and go all the way back to Chang'an."

Although Li Xiang's army knows the rules well, it is a long way from Lingnan to Chang'an, and we don't know what will happen along the way. Li Xiang has always asked the army to solve his own difficulties, and try not to ask the local government for help on the way. Ordinary people on the road have more difficulties.

When Huo Qubing was training locally, several large warehouses were built. Su Dingfang's people were there for all kinds of materials, so they could be replenished here. Anyway, Li Xiang stayed here and could process them in the system at any time. In order to exchange, Su Dingfang also asked his men to be full of enthusiasm and strive to arrive in Chang'an in one go. He also wanted to go home and have a look.

After the two armies changed defenses, the surrounding entourage soon discovered that Su Dingfang's army had always been wearing Emperor Ming armor. They were the guards of His Highness Taisun, so they were very conspicuous everywhere.

But Huo Qubing's people are different. In order to better fight in the jungle, their armors are all green. Sometimes they are dark green, sometimes they are turquoise. Anyway, it is to hide themselves better. , this is also preparation for actual combat.

When these people put on dark green armor, they were on duty at the door of Li Xiang's tent at night. If you don't look carefully, you won't see anyone here at all, which shows that they are closer to actual combat.

That night, Li Xiang held a banquet in Huo Qubing's camp to entertain the accompanying officers and soldiers, and asked them to return to Chang'an first.

After hearing the news, everyone jumped up with joy. Although they were eager to make contributions, most of them also wanted to see their wives, children and children. Now that they have been away from home for more than a year, they can now have a chance to go home. Look, that is also very happy.

Of course, they also understand that as Li Xiang's bodyguards, they cannot stay at home for too long. After Li Xiang returns to Chang'an this time, they may be drafted into the army again. If they want to go back again, they will have to wait for Li Xiang. After conquering the southeastern peninsula.

Huo Qubing kept toasting to Su Dingfang, because he wanted to know some precautions. The first priority of the generals and soldiers who came out of the system was to ensure the safety of Li Xiang. Even if they sacrificed their own lives, they must ensure it. Li Xiang's safety.

For Li Xiang, in fact, he is also a very powerful master. If someone really wants to assassinate, even if they enter the last encirclement, it may be difficult to succeed. Li Xiang can kill several assassins by himself.

After drinking until midnight, Huo Qubing was ready to start his career as a guard commander... (End of this chapter)
