The generals of the older generation are gradually withering, and among the Mesozoic and new generals of the Tang Dynasty, no one can reassure Li Zhi to be appointed as the secretary of the military department.

After several thoughts, Li Zhi selected Xiao Siye to enter Beijing and was promoted to the secretary of the military department.

Xiao Siye, born in Lanling Xiao.

Great-grandfather Xiao Yue, Emperor Xiaoming of the Later Liang Dynasty, the temple name Sejong.

Grandfather Xiao Xun, the king of the South China Sea.

Grandaunt Xiao, Queen Yang of Sui.

Xiao Siye followed Emperor Yang of Sui when he was a teenager, and later followed Empress Xiao into the Eastern Turks.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Xiao Siye returned to China, and because he knew the situation of the Turks, he led the Turkic tribes.

Later, Xiao Siye served as Hongluqing, and concurrently served as the governor of the capital.

In the twentieth year of Zhenguan, Xue Yantuo went south to the barren valley, and Li Shiyun sent Xiao Siye, a general servant, to comfort him, and he surrendered.

In the second year of Xianqing, Su Dingfang and the right guard general Ashina Miji, the left Tunwei general Ashina Buzhen, as well as Su Dawei, the commander of Zhichong Prefecture, and Ashina Daozhen, the right Guoyi commander of Zhichong Mansion, divided their troops to crusade against the Western Turks.

After the defeat of the Western Turks and the fledging of the Shabaluo Khan Ashina Heluxi, Su Dingfang ordered Xiao Siye and Su Dawei to lead the army to pursue together.

In the sixth year of Xianqing, Gaozong sent the chief of the Liaodong Road march Qi Bi He Li, the head of the march of the Hunjiang Road Ren Yaxiang, the head of the Fuyu Road march Xiao Siye, the head of the march of the Fang Road Cheng Mingzhen, the head of the march of Wofu Road Pang Xiaotai and the head of the march of Hanzi Road Liu Demin led more than 100,000 troops to cross the Liaoshui.

The Pyongyang Provincial Commander-in-Chief Su Jeong-fang, the Pyongyang Provincial Commander-in-Chief Yoo Bo-young, and the Silla allied forces attacked Goguryeo from the north and south of Baekje's hometown.

In the meantime, due to the Uighur rebellion.

He Li and Xiao Siye were forced to return.

Soon, Li Zhi issued an edict with Zheng Rentai, the general of Zuo Wuwei, as the general of the Tiele Road march, Yan Ran Du Hu Liu Xianli, the general of the Zuo Wuwei Xue Rengui as the deputy, Hongluqing Xiao Siye as the head of the Xiancao Road march, and the general Sun Renshi of the Right Tunwei as the deputy, leading the troops to crusade against the Hui Hui.

The remaining generals of the older generation of the Tang Dynasty are all the remnants of a hundred battles, and each one of them has the posture of a famous general.

But in the Tang Dynasty, which has produced many stars, it doesn't seem to be so eye-catching.

These veterans are all people who know the soldiers, and they are the treasure bumps of the Tang Dynasty, and before Li Tao was still guarding Goguryeo and had not led the troops to return, Xiao Siye became the best candidate for the secretary of the military department.

In addition, Li Zhi also began to pay attention to cultivating the talent echelon in the army.

For example, a number of young and middle-aged generals such as Li Siwen, Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, and Guo Ai were all included in the military department by him to familiarize themselves with the imperial military and prepare for future succession.

Su Dawei's previous thought was that since Li Zhi doubted his intentions, he was even worried that he would help Wu Meiniang's power and make his layout unbalanced.

In order to avoid suspicion, he deliberately did not go to the military headquarters.

This made a group of generals who returned to Chang'an with him, such as Gao Chongwen and Li Bian, all have some resentment.

Originally, Li Tao and Gao Kan wanted them to follow Su Dawei for more experience, but who knew that after Su Dawei returned to Chang'an, he would be his bad handsome honestly, and he had no vision of being enterprising in the army.

This made Gao Chongwen and the others all dumbfounded.

I secretly don't know how many letters I sent to Li Tao and Gao Kan.

Originally, Su Dawei wanted to go on like this.

It's a good day to be stable.

But a series of things that he encountered recently, as well as the words that Fang Cai Wu Meiniang asked Wang Fulai to bring, reminded him.

The trees want to move but the wind doesn't stop.

At this current position, no matter how low-key Su Dawei pretends to be, there will be people's eyes staring at him.

No matter how harmless he behaves, there will be people who don't believe it, and some people who want to get rid of it.

Since he chose to stand on the side of Empress Wu, there are many things that he cannot choose.

Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

If it is still like this, can you still dodge the next open gun and hidden arrow?

Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves.

At this point, you have to move on.

Although the bad handsome life is stable, it has long been unable to accommodate him.

Su Dawei was preoccupied.

Thinking about the case of Princess Gaoyang.

and an uncertain future.

I don't know what kind of storms and waves will await me ahead.

He walked slowly to the military headquarters.

At the entrance, he was stopped by the Jin Wuwei who was on duty, and he checked the fish charm before he was released.

When I entered the courtyard of the military headquarters, I saw many people in front of the public office in front of me, busy going in and out.

To say that the most lively yamen in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to commerce, Honglu Temple receives envoys from all over the world.

The military department is the top priority.

The Tang Dynasty established the country by force, and from Taizong to Li Zhi's dynasty, wars became more and more frequent.

When Su Dawei walked into the courtyard, he saw a group of officials from the military department who were busy going in and out.

"Hurry up, the map of Wuwei, and the topographic map of the four towns of Anxi, hurry up and bring it in."

"Where is the Tibetan dossier?"

"Persia and the Great Food in the Western Regions, the dossier over there, quick!"

"There is also information on Tianshan South, Hui Hui and Tuqishi."

"The current leader of the Plague Division, the file about him should be drawn out quickly."

The nervousness and busyness of the officials almost made Su Dawei have the illusion that he was seeing the stock market in the future.

Only the stock market, which can make people crazy about making money, has this enthusiasm.

Well, the Ministry of War is indeed a quite profitable department in Datang.

Historically, only money has been spent in wars, but the military system of the Tang Dynasty has the habit of looting wealth every time it conquers a country, and it has always been the richer the more you fight.

Only in recent years has Goguryeo been beaten, and it has been protracted for a long time, and it is quite difficult to make ends meet.

Su Dawei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw a middle-aged man walking towards him with his hands in his hands.

"Look at you, who are you? First time in the military department? So what's going on? ”

Everyone in the courtyard was very busy, and Su Dawei, who was standing in the courtyard, was a little conspicuous. Reading Building

Su Dawei's gaze retracted and fell on the middle-aged man in front of him.

The man was nearly forty years old, with a wide mouth and broad shoulders.

He is more than seven feet tall.

He was dressed in regular clothes, but his waist was straight, not like an ordinary person.

There is a sharp spirit in the army.

In particular, this person has a beard on his face, which looks quite majestic.

A pair of eyes are blazing, and ordinary people are targeted by him, but they are afraid that their hearts and livers will tremble.

"In Lower Chang'an County, the bad handsome Su Dawei, how do you call Lang Jun?"

Su Dawei clenched his fists to the other party, neither humble nor arrogant.

Seeing that this person is wearing regular clothes and is not carrying a military talisman, he may not be a member of the military department.

However, looking at his temperament, he is quite like a general in the army.

I just don't know its name, I don't know what it came from.

"Are you Su Dawei?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, a suspicious look flashed on his face, and he looked Su Dawei up and down.

"Chang'an should be just me, Su Dawei, like a fake."

Su Dawei said lightly.

The middle-aged man's eyes fell on the horizontal knife on Su Dawei's waist, as well as the goldfish bag.

Only then did he put away his suspicions, and saluted Su Dawei: "It turned out to be General Su, who led the army on the right side of the army, General Wei Zhonglang, Cheng Wuting." ”

Left and right to lead the left and right houses?

Left and right leading the guards, signed by the Tang Dynasty officials, and the two guards of the Tang Sixteen Guards.

Among them, there is one general, one general, and two generals, and the left and right guards.

The right leader of the army is the middle of the guard, which is equivalent to the Xiaowei, and the grade is under the fourth grade.

Its rank is the same as that of Su Dawei's light car captain and Zhuangwu general.

But Cheng Wuting is the commander of the forbidden army, and it stands to reason that his real power is much higher than that of Su Dawei.

Su Dawei reacted with a turn of his mind, and turned sideways slightly to express avoidance: "General Cheng, why should you be polite." ”

Everyone is at the same level, and the most they can do is to give up their hands and hold their fists.

Su Dawei's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered.

This Cheng Wuting, isn't he the son of the famous Tang Dynasty general Cheng Mingzhen?

It is said that Cheng Wuting followed his father Cheng Mingzhen to fight since he was a child, and was known for his courage and strength.

The true legend of the art of war is quite famous.

"General Su, I've heard a lot about you, and when I see you today, you're younger than I thought."

Cheng Wuting's gaze swept over Su Dawei's face.

In his eyes, it was difficult to hide the look of surprise.

Su Dawei made his debut with Su Dingfang and Cheng Zhijie to conquer the Western Turks.

After that, he conquered Baekje, Goguryeo, and the Wa Kingdom, and made great achievements.

Especially when he joined forces with Li Tao to attack Goguryeo, he was promoted by Li Tao to be the deputy chief administrator.

On the banks of the Datong River, they did the opposite, secretly building dams to store water during the dry season.

The last move overwhelmed the 80,000 Goguryeo army and became the last straw that overwhelmed Pyongyang.

This battle was transmitted back to Chang'an, and it has long become a good story in the army.

On weekdays, when generals analyze the recent battles of the Tang Dynasty, they inevitably mention Su Dawei's use of troops.

"General Cheng is polite, I have something to find the secretary of the military department, I don't know...... Oh, why is General Cheng also in the military department? ”

You are especially a lieutenant general in the forbidden army, it seems that at this time, you shouldn't be in the military department.

"Are you looking for Xiao Shangshu? Come with me, and I will show you the way. ”

Cheng Wuting is not the kind of person who talks a lot.

But he also has a penchant for the art of war, and he has some taste of being obsessed with soldiers.

I have always admired the famous generals in the army.

Hearing that it was Su Dawei, his attitude was a little different.

even took the initiative to lead Su Dawei enthusiastically, chatting while walking.

Su Dawei knew that this product liked military affairs, and after he finished his job, he liked to run to the military department to see what fresh war reports there were.

If there is, he will ask for it as soon as possible and study it carefully.

According to his own words, Xiao Siye, the secretary of the military department, also liked him and intended to recruit him into the military department.

It's a pity that Cheng Wuting himself is the one who leads the left and right governments.

As a forbidden army, if Li Zhi didn't nod his head, he wouldn't have been able to change his errand to the forbidden army and come to the military department.

The two chatted while walking, chatting about the art of war, Cheng Wuting changed his previous silence, and felt a little like he had met a confidant.

chatted with Su Dawei until the public office of Xiao Siye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Cheng Deting made an appointment to come to Su Dawei another day to ask Su Dawei for advice on the art of war, and then left with his fists in his hands.

"Please help me pass it on, and just say that Su Dawei wants to see him."

Standing in front of the public house, Su Dawei hugged his fist to the guards guarding the front of the steps.

One of them nodded, and walked in to pass the word.

After a few moments, the guard came out, accompanied by a man.

The people who came out with the guards, as soon as they saw Su Dawei, couldn't help but shout.

"Su Shuai, is it really you?"

This man is tall, has long arms, and has handsome eyebrows.

The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, giving people a feeling of smiling before speaking.

As soon as he saw Su Dawei, he laughed first, saluted Su Dawei, and then came up, and asked in a somewhat proud whisper: "Su Shuai, you came to ask to see Xiao Shangshu, do you want to go out of the door and ask for a real job?" ”
