Chapter 667: The Li Clan's Female General
Early in the morning, the generals who trained from outside the city, the captains who studied in the martial arts academy, etc., rode their horses towards the palace, and some people even found that even the guards on the streets became much stricter, and everyone knew that something important must have happened, but after thinking about it carefully, they found that there was no rebellion or anything like that, and suddenly there was a burst of discussion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Some said that Li Jing was seriously injured, some said that the army of the imperial court had come over, etc., all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, but fortunately Li Jing still had a certain foundation in Taiyuan, and these people were just talking about it, and there was no substantive action.
It's just that in the palace, Zhao Ding, Li Fu, and so on gathered together from the Qilin Pavilion scholars, and Zhu Wu, Lin Chong, and so on, and Zhu Wu, Lin Chong, and so on, also gathered together.
On the throne sat the King of Mu Li Ying, Queen Lancôme, and Princess Chai Erniang, this is probably the largest gathering of the entire Tang Army after Li Jing left Taiyuan, which shows that this matter is not trivial.
"Yunzhou pacification envoy Wang Mu, defense envoy Xiao Wei brother came to ask for help, Jin Wanyan Zongwang personally commander army of about 80,000 people have surrounded Yunzhou, Yunzhou surrounding the tribes, cities are all occupied by the Jin. There are only 30,000 Khitans in Yunzhou City, and the army is unstable, now I am waiting for how to be good, this king convened the Zhongqing today, is to discuss this matter, the king is now in Luoyang, let him come back, I am afraid it will take half a month, the Jin people are fierce, and the Khitan people have been repeatedly defeated in the hands of the Jin people before, and the morale of the army is low, Wang Mu said, now he has gathered the Khitans in Yunzhou, but it is only defense, and it is impossible to attack. Li Ying glanced at everyone, his voice was calm, in fact, he didn't know what the current situation should be, after all, he was not as good as Li Jing, he was not well-informed, and he was not prescient.
"The Khitan people who were fought by the Jin people in the northeast fled in embarrassment, and they were terrified, what Lord Wang said was very true, those Khitan soldiers were afraid that they couldn't even hold a knife when they saw the Jin people, and the minister thought that they should immediately reinforce Yunzhou, and if they couldn't make it, they could unite with Yunzhou and give Wanyan Zongwang a pot." Ruda shouted. He had experienced the affairs of Youzhou, and had heard about the relationship between the Khitan and the Jin people, so he naturally supported it.
"The king has been using troops everywhere all these years, and I don't know how much money has been spent, money is secondary, but grain and grass are the main thing, the court has blocked Hedong Road, and it is not enough to rely on a little smuggled grain and grass, this time if you support Yunzhou, the minister cannot fight for a long time because he can't strike quickly." Li Fu thought for a while and said.
"Cao Jin, is the grain and grass in the household department tight?" Chai Erniang looked at Cao Jin in the crowd. As an old minister who followed Li Jing to raise troops, he is now a household servant and is in charge of Li Jing's money.
"There is a lot of consumption in the army, but it should be no problem to support the autumn harvest. It's just that the armor of the new army is still lacking. Cao Jin hurriedly said.
"Since it is no problem to support until the autumn harvest, then you can calmly send troops, and as for the armor, it is enough to pick soldiers with armor for the time being. Now there are 80,000 elites around Taiyuan Mansion, and among the 150,000 recruits, a total of 230,000 is enough to deal with the tens of thousands of troops of the Jin people, which general can lead the army? Chai Erniang's gaze swept over Lin Chong and the others.
"Niangniang, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate for all generals to lead the army." Zhu Wu glanced at everyone, hesitated, and said.
"Master Zhu, what do you mean by this? Do you think that all of us are wine bags and rice bags? Lin Chong and the others hadn't spoken yet, and Liang Zhong couldn't help but sneer. Lin Chong and the others also looked a little unsightly after hearing this, and it was naturally nothing for one of the generals to lead the army, but Zhu Wu said that no one could lead the army, and everyone was suddenly a little dissatisfied in their hearts.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Wu's mouth, of course he knew that after his words came out, he would definitely offend people, but the battle of Yunzhou was not trivial, once he failed, Li Jing was afraid that he would be out of breath for a few years, so he could only win and not lose. Even if he offends people now, he has to say it.
"His Royal Highness King Mu, the queen, the princess Niangniang, Yunzhou has a great relationship, this time to deal with the Jin people, in fact, the coordination of cavalry and infantry, our cavalry is divided into the cavalry composed of the Northern Blockade and the Khitans, the cavalry of the North Blockade is in the hands of General Boyan, and the Khitan cavalry is in the hands of General Xiao Weige, as for the Han infantry is in the hands of the generals, this time the infantry and cavalry work together, the generals here can be generals, but they must not be commanders." Zhu Wu thought about it and said.
The generals were stunned when they heard this, and they immediately understood the truth, and the people who were originally clamoring to lead the army did not speak at this time. Although Zhu Wu did not name him, everyone still understood the truth.
"Then who does Mr. Zhu think can lead the army? How is this king? Li Ying couldn't help but say when he heard this. He didn't want to monopolize military power, but now Li Jing is the only one around him who has this qualification.
"The queen is doable." Li Fu thought for a while and said: "The queen is a heroine among women, and her prestige in the army is very high. ”
"What does Mr. Zhu think?" Chai Erniang's eyes shrank and said, "The queen's prestige is very high, but she doesn't know the art of war, what if?" ”
"In fact, this time the army is going, the commander is General Xiao Weige of the Khitan, whether it is the other generals of Boyan, or the infantry generals, they all act according to orders, and the role of the queen is to be a deterrent, just a name, not a real command of the battle." Zhu Wu thought for a while and said.
"There are many sisters in the palace, those who are good at war, the sister of the Hu family, the sister of the Liang family, and the sister of the Xiao family can do it, if Sister Baihua is here, it will be even more. Although I am the queen, it is not impossible for me to go with a few younger sisters, although I am not interfering in the affairs of the army, but in the end it will make the generals in the army restrained and disadvantageous to the war. Lancôme thought for a while and said, "It's better to let Princess Chai go, it's the most appropriate." What do you think? ”
"Queen Shengming." The generals glanced at each other and spoke one after another. In fact, everyone knows that Chai Erniang is the most suitable to go, but in front of Lancôme, it is not easy to say it. It's just that he didn't expect Lancôme to be generous, knowing his weaknesses, and he didn't hesitate to give up such an opportunity and let Chai Erniang lead the army.
"Lin Chong, Liang Zhong, Luda, Guan Sheng, and Lei Heng ordered 50,000 elite soldiers and horses, and 40,000 new soldiers, and went out with the palace." Chai Erniang took a deep breath, her phoenix eyes were mighty, and she was really resolute and decisive, just like a man.
"Yes." After hearing this, the five generals who were selected came out of the crowd and answered loudly.
