At the back of Xuan Du Temple, the Firearms Division was on standby. Mo Jiazi stood proudly in front of them, wearing a brand new cloak.
"Mo Jiazi!" Li Chunfeng stepped forward and greeted. Xuan Du Temple and the Firearms Division were neighbors. Now that the Firearms Division was on the way, Li Chunfeng had to send them off as their neighbor.
When Modun heard how Li Chunfeng addressed him, he could not help but smile bitterly and said, "Li Chunfeng, you're too kind. Just call me Modun!
Mo Jiazi was a nickname for the people of Chang 'an. Li Chunfeng's attitude was probably due to Meton's amazing performance at the Mo Technique Exhibition. He was treating Meton as the next generation of Philosophers.
Although there were different ideologies among the Hundred Schools of Thought, those who could be called the Children of Thought all had their own leaders and were recognized by the Hundred Schools of Thought. Obviously, Li Chunfeng was expressing that the Taoist School recognized Moton as the new Child of Thought.
"Transforming the energy of heaven and earth for people to use. The Mo Technique of the School of Mohism is a godly technique. With such skills, it is not wrong for Merton to become the next generation of Philosophers." Li Chunfeng exclaimed.
Meton declined, "Sir Li, please don't flatter me. This is just a thought. Whether it will succeed or not is still unknown. It is still too early to talk about the next generation of Philosophers."
Li Chunfeng's eyes flashed and he laughed, "Then I shall congratulate Merton on his victory in the Western Expedition."
"Thank you for your kind words." Meton saluted.
Xue Rengui took the opportunity to step forward and said, "Sir Libation, the Firearms Division is ready to go."
"Let's go!" Meton shouted and the Firearms Division's caravan set off immediately.
Li Chunfeng looked at Meton's Firearms Division and his mouth twitched. Other armies were armed with swords and spears when they set off. However, Mo Jiazi's Firearms Division was accompanied by hundreds of heavily armed carriages. They did not look like an army at all. They looked more like merchants.
The Firearms Supervisor's motorcade was very fast. They followed the brick road of Chang 'an all the way to the west and soon exited the West City Gate.
Unlike Hou Junji's Western Expedition, the Firearms Division's expedition could be said to be quiet. First, the Firearms Division's scale was too small, and its grade was very low. It was simply not worthy of being sent by the Imperial Court. Second, the Firearms Division's secrecy was very strong, so it was better to keep a low profile.
The Firearms Surveillance Bureau had two bases. One was the research base behind the Xuandu Temple, and the other was the experimental base in the Xishan Military Camp. The Firearms Surveillance Bureau's caravan continued westward. In front of the Xishan Military Camp, another huge caravan joined. The entire Firearms Surveillance Bureau was finally assembled.
Meton sat on the back of his beloved horse, Shadowless, and looked back at Chang 'an City and the fully organized Firearms Supervisor. He had worked hard for three years, and now there was finally a trace of the future. He could not help but feel heroic. With a wave of his hand, the entire Firearms Supervisor set off again.
"Your Majesty, Merton has submitted a memorial. The Firearms Supervisor has set off as scheduled." In the Taiji Palace, Pande respectfully reported Meton's memorial.
"This guy is finally willing to set off." Li Shimin coldly snorted. He took the memorial from Meton and could not help but snort when he read it.
"500 soldiers and 500 civilian workers, equipped with nearly 200 carriages and thousands of horses. Meton is really a wastrel!" Li Shimin said with pity. This equipment was extremely extravagant. Even in the entire Tang dynasty army, it was second to none.
In these years, the Imperial Court had spent a lot of money on the Firearms Supervisor. Even the Mo Saber Unit, which was made of heavy armor, was a piece of cake in front of the Firearms Supervisor.
Pande said in surprise, "Did Merton also equip the civilian workers with war horses?"
It should be known that the civilian workers had always been auxiliary in battle. It was a bit excessive to equip the civilian workers with war horses.
Li Shimin shook his head and did not say anything. He knew that the Firearms Supervisor did not have civilian workers, only soldiers. The so-called 500 civilian workers were just Mo Jiazi's smokescreen.
"As long as we can break into Gao Chang City, it will be worth it no matter how much money we spend. I hope the Firearms Supervisor will not let me down," Li Shimin said solemnly.
Li Shimin had high hopes for the Firearms Supervisor. However, although the Firearms Supervisor was magical and had won every battle, there were traces of trickery. In addition, the Firearms Supervisor spent a lot of money every year. The military had long been dissatisfied with it. This time, if the Firearms Supervisor could break into Gao Chang City in one fell swoop, no one in the Imperial Court would doubt the Firearms Supervisor anymore.
Pande said with a smile, "Your Majesty, do not worry. Has Merton not given Your Majesty enough surprises?"
Li Shimin thought back to Meton's miracles and couldn't help but smile. The one who should be worried should be Li Shimin, not Ju Wentai!
The Firearms Supervisor's caravan traveled west. Although the caravan was large, it didn't cause too much of a stir. Ever since the brick road was built, there was an endless stream of caravans coming and going. The Firearms Supervisor's caravan was just a bit larger, but the Firearms Supervisor's soldiers received a few more glances.
However, ever since the Western Expedition to Gao Chang began, there were countless caravans transporting supplies to the front lines. Meton's Firearms Supervisor was disguised as a group of soldiers transporting supplies.
"Merton is too much! Not only did he disguise himself as a logistics soldier transporting supplies, but he also wants to use the logistics horses, "Su Dingfang joked.
"Brother Su, you are too stingy. The Firearms Supervisor's weapons and equipment don't need logistics soldiers to transport them. You only need a bit of horse power, and you are not willing." Meton laughed and walked up to shake hands with Su Dingfang.
The reason why Meton had the confidence to have the Firearms Supervisor set out after the demonstration was that Su Dingfang, who was responsible for transporting supplies, was there. The friendship between the two had begun before the Western Expedition to Tuyuhun. Su Dingfang being placed in an important position had nothing to do with Meton. In addition, Meton's method of transporting supplies had allowed him to be placed in an important position by the imperial court. However, it was a pity that Su Dingfang was still a logistics officer in charge of transporting supplies and not a general who charged and broke through enemy lines.
"Merton has done me a favor, but the military law is merciless. The Firearms Supervisor naturally cannot use logistics horses. However, if they are also logistics soldiers, then they can be used as they wish." Su Dingfang pointed at the large "Escort" character on the Firearms Supervisor's caravan and spoke frankly.
The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly. Su Dingfang waved his hand and the staff of the relay station quickly changed the horses and prepared food for the Firearms Supervisor's caravan.
In terms of horses in the world, besides the logistics of the military, there were also many relay stations. However, both of these were controlled by Su Dingfang.
After the Firearms Supervisor rested for a while, they immediately set out without delay because they were already far behind the main army.
"Brother Su, farewell!" Meton cupped his hands and said.
"I wish Merton victory in this battle. I regret not being able to go to the battlefield with Merton to kill the enemy." Su Dingfang looked at the Firearms Supervisor's Western Expedition and couldn't help but say with envy. Which general in the Tang dynasty didn't want to kill the enemy and serve the country? Not to mention the Western Expedition to Gao Chang's Western Expedition, which was a country exterminating war.
Meton looked back and said meaningfully, "Brother Su, don't worry. There will definitely be such a day."
