What, send the Yulin Army?

Yao Chongleng paused for a moment, and said with some surprise: "Your Majesty, the Yulin Army is the army of the Son of Heaven, and it also has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the imperial city, is it a bit of a fuss to send it on the expedition?" ”

"Yes, the emperor" Zhang said that it was rare to agree: "A group of small thieves, kill chickens with knives, just send more government soldiers." ”

Tang Kuan also said: "Your Majesty, don't alarm the Yulin Army, just draw more elites from nearby military towns." ”

Everyone expressed their stance one after another, and most of them persuaded Li Longji to dispel this idea for the more important reason that the Yulin Army was guarding the imperial city.

Just when everyone was disagreeing, Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Don't be bored, please listen to me." ”

After everyone calmed down, Li Longji said with a straight face: "I believe you have all heard Tang Aiqing's words, this group of thieves is different from ordinary little thieves, even the outpost dares to attack, it is by no means an ordinary little thief, it is very likely that the conspiracy of some forces with ulterior motives is intended to create panic and shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, this matter must not be taken lightly." ”

"It's not that the nearby government soldiers can't be used, according to Tang Aiqing, now the Western Regions is not lacking soldiers, but strange soldiers, and you have to worry about whether there are any detailed works arranged by the enemy in the army, so that the elite and absolutely loyal Yulin Army has become the most suitable choice."

Speaking of this, Li Longji said with a straight face: "I have repeatedly expanded the Yulin Army, and many ministers in the DPRK and China have objections, feeling that the treasury is empty, and a group of gentlemen are supported by coins, so that they can collect on my behalf, just to test their quality. ”

When Li Ye heard this, he immediately saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the Yulin Army is up and down, and you will be ready to serve at any time." ”

As the general of Habayashi, although he has no real power, he must also express his determination when necessary.

Song Jing still said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, sending the Yulin Army on the expedition has a huge impact, why don't you think about it again?" ”

"Weichen believes that the emperor's analysis is very correct, and sending the Yulin army to the expedition can stabilize the hearts of the people, raise the prestige of the army, and shake the border pass, I don't know what Song Xiang is worried about." Zhang said retorted.

"Zhang Shuling, this is a bad statement" Song Jing frowned and said: "Different troops, with different missions, send the Yulin Army to the battle, this matter is serious, this matter has to be discussed in detail." ”

"The mission? Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, Yulin Army is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, it is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and it should relieve the worries of the Son of Heaven, what can be criticized? ”

Song Jing just wanted to say something, but Li Longji said conclusively: "You don't need to discuss it anymore, I have made up my mind." ”

The Yulin Army is the emperor's private army, and there is no need to discuss it with the court, nor does it need to go through the military department, and Li Longji can be transferred at will.

The overall situation has been decided, Song Jing and Zhang Shuo glanced at each other, and then had a tacit understanding and kept silent, but Zhang Shuo showed a smug look on his face.

Yao Chong saluted Li Longji: "I don't know how many Yulin troops the emperor is going to send to conquer in person?" ”

"The soldiers are more expensive than the fine, the Yulin Army has twelve thousand cavalry battalions, and one thousand cavalry battalion can be drawn from them."

"Who can be the ruler?"

Li Longji had already thought about it, and when he heard this, he said with a straight face: "The Thousand Horsemen of the Fierce Wolf Battalion are Li Xiancheng." ”

"Your Majesty, don't" Yao Chong immediately stopped: "Li Qianqi's identity is very different, and he can't easily get into danger, so please ask the emperor to send someone else." ”

Li Xiancheng was born in a royal family and had a noble bloodline, so he couldn't take risks.

Song Jing also chimed in: "The emperor thinks twice. ”

"You don't need to persuade again" Li Longji stood up and said categorically: "Xiancheng is a child of the royal family, and he should take the lead and set an example, I want the subjects of the world to know that not only their relatives can guard the border, but the children of the royal family also have the responsibility to protect their families and defend the country. ”

With an order, Li Xiancheng, who had not finished watching the game, hurriedly went to face the saint.

After passing the courtier's etiquette, Li Longji said straightforwardly: "Xiancheng, there are evil bandits in the Western Regions, and there are bad deeds, I sent you to lead a team to exterminate them, are you willing?" ”

Li Xiancheng paused for a moment, and soon knelt down on one knee with an excited face: "Serving the emperor is the honor of the last general." ”

"The Western Regions are not as good as the capital, they have to endure hardships, and they also have to worry about their lives, can you think clearly?"

"Clearly, for the emperor's worries, the last general is fearless, as long as the emperor gives an order, the last general is willing to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire for the emperor."

A place to be useful is a real hero, Li Xiancheng's most regrettable thing is that he has no place for his good martial arts, he can only nest in the Forbidden Garden, if there is no major change, he may not have the opportunity to really use it in his life.

Li Xiancheng, who often fantasizes that he can kill the enemy on the battlefield, is best like Zhao Yun, a lonely hero who is in and out of the Three Kingdoms, heard Li Longji's call, and thought that he was going to ask about training or the polo team, but he didn't expect this kind of thing, and he became excited on the spot.

I can't ask for it.

"Very good" Li Longji said with a look of relief: "The soldiers are very fast, the personnel are as you choose, quickly pick a battalion of troops, change clothes two days later, and set off with the Ordnance Bureau as a baggage soldier." ”

Li Xiancheng hesitated for a moment, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, there will be something to ask for in the end." ”

"Oh, say."

Li Longji doesn't like others to bargain, but Li Xiancheng is an exception, he is a rare general, and the most important thing is a general of the royal family, who favors him on weekdays and forgives him extraordinarily.

"Zheng Peng, the thousand cavalry envoy of the Tiger Battalion, is clever and resourceful, and has experience in the army in the Western Regions, the last general hopes to recruit him as his deputy, and with Zheng Qiancai's help, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Li Xiancheng said loudly.

After being questioned by Zheng Peng about his great achievements, Li Xiancheng has been holding back his strength to prove himself, and he also wants to compete with Zheng Peng to see who is better.

It seems that his bet with Zheng Peng on polo has been put on hold, and it is believed that it is more exciting to put the bet on the real battlefield.

"Choose Zheng Peng as your deputy?" Li Longji asked in surprise.

"Please fulfill the emperor."

Li Longji hesitated, who to choose, but Zheng Peng, you must know that Zheng Peng's significance to the Tang Dynasty is irreplaceable, in order to protect Zheng Peng, there is no need to get involved in disputes between the government and the opposition, specially get him into the Yulin Army, where is willing to send him to the Western Regions.

Not to mention anything else, if Zheng Peng messes with it one day, and then makes something as important as cement, it is far more important than killing 10,000 enemies.

"Your Majesty, my courtiers think this matter is feasible" Li Ye, the king of Qi, suddenly spoke: "Xiancheng Yongguan three armies, is the first warrior of the Yulin Army, Zheng Qiancai is a famous wise general, the two complement each other, but they are just a group of small thieves, with them out of the horse, they will definitely be able to succeed, and the Western Regions will be a bright and prosperous country." ”

"Okay" Li Longji immediately said: "Xiancheng, I will do as you wish, let Zheng Peng be your deputy, go." ”

After saying so much earlier, Li Longji didn't listen to it, and Li Ye's sentence "It's just a gang of little thieves" moved Li Longji, Zheng Peng is a blessed general, and the Western Regions is Zheng Peng's blessed land, and the blessed general will definitely be able to solve the urgent needs of the Western Regions.

In addition, there is another point, the Mandarin Duck Soup Pond incident, Li Longji knew that Zheng Peng was wronged, and he also knew that Zheng Peng was angry after being beaten, the most direct embodiment is that Zheng Peng did not send high-quality liquor to the palace, and he had the intention to appease, just take this opportunity to let Zheng Peng make meritorious contributions, and the reward was thickened, and Zheng Peng's heart was also balanced at that time.

It can be said that killing two birds with one stone, Coke does not do it.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Li Xiancheng was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

The sound of announcing the end of the game came from the "Dangdangdang" field.

Li Longji's mind suddenly returned to the court, and he hurriedly asked, "Is the game over?" What is the score? ”

Without asking which team won, just asking what the score was, it was obvious that no one believed that the Fire Wolves still had a chance to turn the tables.

At the meeting, Gao Lishi was dedicated to two things, listening to the discussion of the crowd while paying attention to the performance on the field, and immediately responded: "If you go back to the emperor, the score is twenty to three." ”

There was a gasping voice at the scene: the Tigers, who conceded the goal first, defeated the Fire Wolves in one fell swoop, knowing that it had won, but they didn't expect the final result to come out, leading the opponent by seventeen goals.

Or in the case of the final quarter when all the main forces were removed.

Tang Kuan was a little surprised and said, "General Zheng is talented, I didn't expect him to be so proficient in polo." ”

"It's really surprising" Yao Chong touched his beard and said: "This is called a hundred passes, it seems that Zheng Qiancai also used the arrangement of troops to polo, talented, and the old man is ashamed of himself." ”

Zhang said with interest: "Twenty to three, did this game create the most disparity in scores? ”

"Don't count" Qi Wang Li Ye corrected with a straight face: "As far as this king knows, in the first two years, there was a polo match outside Chang'an City with a score of 35 to 1, almost a clean sheet against the opponent, and in the third year of Kaiyuan, the score of the Yihu Battalion and the White Wolf Battalion was 19 to 1, leading by 18 goals. ”

Yao Chong glanced at Li Ye and said with a smile: "King Qi's memory is really good, and he knows the polo score so well. ”

Li Ye's face froze, knowing that Yao Chong was secretly sarcastic about using polo to open a bet, and he was a little unhappy, but he said without changing his face: "Yao Lao's words are serious, although this king wears many hats, his subordinates have excellent abilities, and he doesn't need this king to do it himself, and besides, this king is lazy and doesn't care about anything, so he is very impressed." ”

"Okay" Li Longji once again calmed down and mud: "The game is over, you guys will tell me which one I should reward." ”

Yao Chong responded, and then glanced at Li Ye with some depression.

This Li Ye is shrewd, and he has the intention to imply that he uses polo to open a bet and disturb the morale of the army, so he is better to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and take advantage of the clear statement that he is only on a temporary post and has no ambition to touch the power.

As an emperor, he is afraid of foreign invasion, and he is even more afraid of being usurped by the people around him.

It's good not to rebel, as for other things, as long as they don't go too far, one eye is open and the other is closed.

Song Jing said with a smile: "If you want to talk about rewards, the most important thing should be to reward Zheng Peng, the Tiger Polo Team can be reborn, it is his credit, but unfortunately there is a practice of rewarding only the players on the field after the game." ”

"The captain of the Tigers Polo team is good, the command is determined, he is the core of attack and defense, and he has scored two goals. Zhang said slowly.

"Meet the Emperor." At this time, the two polo teams stood in line in front of the royal grandstand and saluted Li Longji in unison.

Li Longji said happily: "It's free, let's get up." ”

"Your Majesty."

Li Longji sat back in his place and suddenly spoke: "Lux, the reward will be handed over to you, and the reward will be rewarded." ”

"The old slave obeys."
