Chapter 211: On the Eve of the Expedition
"Cheng Qian, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can you risk your life to go to the battlefield?" Empress Eldest Sun persuaded bitterly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Why can't the queen mother? I'm a prince and a member of Datang, why can't I? Li Chengqian asked rhetorically. This rhetorical question has exhausted all the patience of Empress Changsun, and it could have been a good exchange, Empress Changsun saw that Li Chengqian was determined to go to the battlefield, so she used her privilege of being a mother, and said to Li Chengqian: "You can't say anything, from now until the expedition, you can't take a step out of the East Palace, from tomorrow Mr. Yu Shinan and Mr. Kong Yingda will take turns to teach you." ”
Li Er heard what Empress Changsun said, and he didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so he said: "Okay, Chengqian, you can study in the East Palace, I will come here from time to time." After Li Er finished speaking, he gave Zhang Nan a look and signaled that Zhang Nan could go with him. Zhang Nan had no choice but to give Li Chengqian a look of self-seeking blessings, and followed Li Er and Empress Changsun out of the East Palace.
As soon as he left the East Palace, Li Er looked at Zhang Nan and said, "Qingquan, you said that I didn't let Cheng Qian go to the battlefield, is it right or wrong?" ”
After listening to this, Zhang Nan was silent, how to say this kind of thing, from the perspective of being a father, it is naturally right, because he is afraid that his child will have an accident on the battlefield, but from the perspective of being the emperor, he is naturally doing something wrong, this is not only a blow to Li Chengqian, but also a blow to the military academy. However, Zhang Nan did not choose to explain, because Li Er must have a clear answer.
Seeing that Zhang Nan was silent, Li Er didn't ask more, but said: "Come to the imperial study with me, I have already sent someone to let the generals who went on this expedition wait for me in the imperial study, you can also listen to it." After Li Er finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the imperial study with his hands behind his back, and Zhang Nan followed quickly.
When Li Er arrived at the imperial study, the generals in the imperial study all saluted Li Er, Zhang Nan took a general glance, the generals who could be called by the Tang Dynasty were all here, it seems that Li Er is really going to fight the Turkic dead race this time, especially the Jieli Khan and the Turki Khan who ran to Li Er to blackmail, Zhang Nan saw Li Er's posture, so he sent a letter to these two people to repair a book and write it to wash their necks and wait for me.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you all know that the Turks have repeatedly violated my Datang border, and the people on my Datang border are unbearable. Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, has also handed me an excerpt, listing six reasons for sending troops to the Turks, and I will tell you to listen. ”
Zhang Nan saw Li Er like this, what is this, is it still good to sell if you get cheap? Haven't you been planning for a year? In order to give a name to the Turks, there are no one who actually listed six reasons.
However, Li Erke couldn't hear Zhang Nan's heart, but picked up the fold and handed it to Liu Bing and said, "Read these six reasons to the generals." ”
Liu Bing took the excerpt, cleared his throat, and slowly read: "Jieli Khan is luxurious and brutal, kills loyal and good, and is close to traitors, this is one of them; Xue Yantuo and other tribes have defected, this is the second; Tuli, Tuo, and Desire Valley are all offended by Jieli, and there is no place to be ashamed, which is the third; The northern part of the country experienced frost and drought, and there was a shortage of food, and fourth; Jieli alienated the clansmen, entrusted with heavy responsibilities to foreign tribes, the Hu people were capricious, and once the Tang army arrived, there would inevitably be internal chaos, which was the fifth; The Han people went to the north to avoid chaos in the early years, and at this time there were more people, and recently I heard that they gathered arms, occupied dangerous places, and sent a large army out of the fortress, so they naturally responded internally. ”
After Liu Bing finished reading the excerpt, he quickly put the excerpt on Li Er's bookcase and stepped aside.
"What do you think?" Li Er sat on the chair and asked with squinted eyes.
"The ministers are willing to do their best for the Tang Dynasty and die." The generals all said in unison.
"Okay, in that case, I'm going to send you a mission, and when you're ready, you'll set out on the expedition without delay." Li Eryi slapped the table and said, although the grassland at this time also snowed, but it was far from the point of snow disaster, but after the generals of the Tang Dynasty took the soldiers to the grassland, it was estimated that it would be about the same, according to Li Er's idea, it was to strive to end the war before the fourth year of Zhenguan.
"Acting Duke Li Jing, where is Chi Jingde, Duke of Hubei?" Li Erdao.
"The minister is here." The two of them came out of the ranks.
"I ordered Li Jing to be the head of the Dingxiang Road march, and Wei Chi Jingde to be the deputy general, to lead the Chinese army to advance to Yunzhong and Mayi." Li Erdao.
"The minister commands."
"The British Duke Li Shichang was the head of the march of the Tongmo Road, and the governor of Minzhou, Gao Yongsheng, was the deputy general, and led the main force from the east road to directly attack the hinterland of the Eastern Turks." Li Erdao.
"The minister commands."
"Huo Guogong's concubine Ma Chai Shao is the chief of the Jinhe Road march, and Hu Guogong Qin Shubao is the deputy general, advancing along the Yellow River on the West Road, echoing Li Jing and Xu Shixian, and responsible for covering the left flank."
"The ministers receive orders."
As soon as he heard Qin Shubao's name, Zhang Nan turned his face and saw that it was really Second Brother Qin, how could Second Brother Qin look a little sick now, and his spirit looked better than himself. It seems that Second Brother Qin is still a powerful acting school.
"Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng County, was the head of the Datongdao march, and Zhang Baoxiang, the assassin of Ganzhou, was the deputy general, and advanced from Lingzhou to the northwest to cut off the Turks' westward escape route."
"Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou, is the head of the march of Heng'an Road, and Cheng Zhijie, the official of Lu Guo, is the deputy head of the army, leading the army into the Yanyun area to prevent the Turkic army from fleeing eastward."
"The governor of Lingzhou, Ma Xue Wanche, is the head of the Changwu Road march, and the general of Zuo Xiaowei, Fan Guogong Duan Zhixuan, is the deputy commander, taking advantage of the northeast to attack the Turkic rear, and monitor and contain the Turki Khan."
"The ministers receive orders." After Li Er gave the order, Zhang Nan looked at Li Er's snorting and panting, it can be said that he was very ambitious, and he couldn't wait to give himself the position of a marching general.
"In the foreign campaign, all the generals were subjected to Li Jingjie's degree, and they counterattacked the Turks in six ways. In addition, there is also Li Daliang, a man from Wuyang County, who guards Liangzhou in the northwest, and Liu Hongji, the prince of Ren Guo, guards Yizhou, Hebei, and guards the northeast. ”
"Your Ministers understand." Everyone was not surprised that Li Er gave Li Jing this position, after all, Li Jing was a man who was called the "Tang Dynasty Military God" by later generations, if Li Jing was not qualified to be the commander-in-chief, then others would definitely not believe it.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have you forgotten the military academy? And how do you arrange the hundreds of people. Zhang Nan suddenly remembered that Li Er didn't seem to give himself a clear answer when he was in the East Palace just now.
