After the end of the year, the ice and snow melted, and everything recovered.

The matter of the Western Expedition is on the itinerary.

Yang Yue summoned his ministers, inquired about the army and armaments, and set out on a certain day.

At this time, the left servant shot Zhang Shaoqing out of the queue with a firm expression: "Your Majesty, Sassanid is far away from the Tang Dynasty, if the emperor insists on the imperial expedition in person, the minister suggests that the prince be appointed as soon as possible." ”

As soon as this remark came out, many civil servants and military generals in the court echoed it.

The emperor was born in the army, and his military career was longer than that of living in the palace, personally conquering Silla, destroying the Bohai Sea, and pacifying the Turks, with great military achievements.

However, Tang Land is too far away from Sassanid, and the desert and Gobi are full of dangers along the way.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Today, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, there are many soldiers, and the country cannot be left without an owner for a day.

Otherwise, if there is a difference, it will cause war.

The early canonization of the prince is of great importance to Datang.

Even if the emperor led the army to kill and fight on the front line, the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty were also dealt with.

Hearing this, Yang Yue chuckled.

Standing up from the throne and standing in front of the high platform, Lang smiled: "The length of this trip is one year, and the short is half a year, which is no different from the conquest of the Turks, and it is too early to canonize the prince." Besides, except for the eldest prince, are the princes young and understand military affairs?

I led the army abroad, domestic affairs, and consulted with the concubines, concubines, and concubines, the eldest prince Yang Hao, the second prince Yang Lan, and the third prince Yang Xun, and traveled with the army to experience. ”

"Ahh

Zhang Shaoqing heard the sound and exclaimed.

The hundred officials in the hall were also surprised.

They were not amazed that the emperor handed over the state affairs to Yuwen Linxuan, Princess Zhaoyang, and Xu Wennuo, but surprised that the emperor led the princes to experience with the army.

The prince is young, the eldest prince is only eight years old, the second prince, and the third prince are even younger.

They have lived in the palace since they were children, and they have never experienced a life of eating and sleeping in the open, let alone a military life full of killing.

"Your Majesty, think twice, the princes are young!" The book made Gao Xiaoyun out of the queue and said anxiously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you want the prince to experience, go to the cold land in the northeast, and hunt with King Zhao Muyu." The right servant shot Fan Hengwen retorted.

Who knows, Yang Yue said loudly: "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, the decree ordered King Zhao to return to Beijing to govern, and Zhang Shaoming sat in the northeast to supervise the army." ”

Earlier, he mentioned this matter to Yuwen Linxuan, Princess Zhaoyang, and Lin Miaoyin.

The three of them disagreed, and later the ladies of the inner palace knew about it, and they persuaded each other one after another to no avail, and proposed that Lin Miaoyin, Yue Nujiao, and He Qinxin should go with the army and take care of Yang Yue's daily life and take care of the three princes.

Lin Miaoyin is extremely strong in martial arts, rarely matched, for many years, he has helped Yang Yue to take charge of the black-clothed guard, and in his spare time, he has trained many powerful female soldiers.

Traveling with the army, he can take care of the three princes very well.

The concubine agreed, Gao Xiaoyun, Zhang Shaoqing, Fan Hengwen and others did not say anything more.

After all, the emperor is in his prime!

For this reason, mobilizing King Zhao to return to Beijing is also an excellent proposition.

In the past, King Zhao was the crown prince and had rich experience in handling government affairs, assisting the imperial concubine in handling government affairs, and ensuring the accessibility of the Tang Dynasty's decrees.

When Yang Yue turned around and sat on the dragon chair, a soldier walked in, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao, General Guo has jointly signed a letter, Anthony has been frequently mobilized recently, and he has tried to open up the passage to the Tang Dynasty in northern Xinjiang. ”

Hearing the sound, everyone was shocked.

When the emperor mentioned the conquest of Sasansan, many officials in the court refuted it.

Today, the Tang army's food and grass have not been moved, and Anthony has fallen restless in the Western Regions.

Fortunately, the emperor took precautions and made arrangements early, otherwise, Datang would definitely be caught off guard and be caught off guard.

"Hahaha, Anthony is dying, he is worried that there is no excuse to send troops, he is trying to lead the army to invade the Tang generals." In the hall, Yan Yuefeng raised his head and smiled, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general will ask for battle, and lead the army to attack the other party." ”

"Brother Huang, the younger brother is willing to be the vanguard and destroy Sasanian in one fell swoop!" Yang Xiao, the king of Shu, said.

Since returning from the conquest of Tibet, he has always been in a state of idleness, deliberately looking for merchants who came to the Tang Dynasty, and spent time roughly making maps.

Get a general idea of Sasanian's location and the distribution of forces.

I hope to regain control of the army and gallop on the battlefield.

Hearing this, Yang Yue said: "King Shu, Wu Anluo, Yue Shizhong, lead 50,000 elite soldiers as the forward, two days later, set off immediately." ”

"Whoa!"

The three generals came out of the queue and clenched their fists to lead the order.

"Your Majesty, the last general is invited to fight!"

"Your Majesty, the last general will agree!"

"The last general agreed!"

Sensing that the emperor arranged for the three generals of the King of Shu to be the forwards, the generals were full of enthusiasm and asked to fight.

Yan Yuefeng, Wei Jiyan, Yuan Yangge and other generals, including Murong Xiu and Attila, who had not long surrendered, vied for their lives.

This long-distance battle is a long way, but it is a very good opportunity to make contributions, and no one wants to miss these battlefield veterans.

Yang Yue nodded with satisfaction and sneered: "Anthony is ready to move in the Western Regions, vainly trying to invade the Tang Dynasty, this expedition to the west, we must show the might of the Tang Dynasty and attack the other party." ”

"Yuan Madge, Duanmu Ye is the commander of the right army, leading 50,000 to the righteous army, Luo Shishang, Guo Xiaoqi is the left army, Yan Yuefeng, and I am the commander of the Chinese army." Yang Yue commanded.

The king of Shu, Wu Anluo, and the elite soldiers commanded by Yue Sizhong, the elite soldiers trained by He Hengrui in Shu, once galloped on the southwest plateau.

Yuan Madsong, Duanmu Ye is brave and good at fighting, and the Guiyi army led by him is all Turkic iron cavalry that once shook the grassland.

Luo Shishang, the army led by Guo Xiaoqi, needless to say.

However, in this battle, the four armies were 50,000 each, and Yang Yue arranged for the elite soldiers under the command of the Luo Division.

Yan Yuefeng's tiger cavalry battalion is the elite of the elite in the Tang Army, and the sword is invincible.

This battle was not the total annihilation of Antony, and the small states of the Western Regions.

Yan Yuefeng, Luo Shishang and his party received the order, Wei Jiyan walked out quickly, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, what arrangements will the last general make?" ”

In the past, the four generals of Youzhou, Zhang Xuanheng led the army to sit in the Khitan, Lin Kaiyue and Yuan Mingsha led the army to sit in the Turks, and Yan Yuefeng accompanied the emperor to lead the troops, but he was the only one who did not arrange any military affairs and was shelved in Chang'an.

Hearing this, Yang Yuelang smiled and said: "General Wei, you stay in Beijing, take charge of military affairs with Zhongshu Ling, and protect the Tang Dynasty for me." ”

"This...."Wei Jiyan hesitated a little. His eyes turned to Yan Yuefeng, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in the past six months, the last general has trained tigers and wolves to ride, all in preparation for the conquest of Sasan, and General Yan has led the army to defend Chang'an.

His tiger riding battalion may not be able to block the edge of the tiger and wolf riding! ”

"Wei Jiyan, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will pump you, and we will live up to our heads-up." Yan Yuefeng said.

The tiger cavalry battalion led by him, Zhang Xuanheng's wolf cavalry battalion, Wei Jiyan's tiger and leopard cavalry, and Lin Kaiyue's Xiaowu army are the emperor's descendants.

If Wei Jiyan is not convinced, he is underbeaten.

"Who's afraid of whom?" Wei Jiyan's tone was tough.
