"Your Majesty, these are two different things, after all, the minister has no experience in commanding troops alone, not to mention the 150,000 army of Goguryeo, the minister ...... Forehead...... I don't know how many soldiers and horses His Majesty can give to his ministers? Suning still plans to ask some practical questions, to be honest, instead of worrying about whether he has to go, it is better to worry about how many soldiers and horses he can rely on, if there are fewer soldiers and horses, it is really unreasonable.

Li Er Majesty frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "I don't want to embarrass you, but I don't have too many soldiers and horses in my hands at this moment to allocate to you, although Datang has 800,000 soldiers, but counting the local garrison army and navy, as well as the standing army guarding other newly entered territories, and excluding the need to guard Chang'an and the general reserve army, I can only allocate 20,000 soldiers and horses to you." ”

Suning suddenly looked at Li Er with the eyes of God: "Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to His Majesty, does His Majesty really want the minister to be defeated and die?" ”

Li Er said angrily: "What are you talking about?!" Think about it yourself, although I can only give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, but there are still 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Beiping, you are equivalent to having 30,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention that once you are appointed as the general manager of Liaodong Province, then you can call on the garrison within the allocated area of Liaodong Province, and Goguryeo soldiers and horses came from afar, although the bluff said that it was 150,000 soldiers and horses, but excluding the transport soldiers who transported grain and grass, the soldiers were only 100,000. ”

Lakh...... Nothing more......

Su Ning swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Majesty, do you think that the minister can compete with Zhou Yu?" In the minister's memory, only Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao's 100,000 army with 30,000 soldiers and horses. However, it was still on the water, Cao Cao himself made a mistake, to say that the minister went north and fought hard with Goguryeo, His Majesty felt that the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty could defeat the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Goguryeo face to face? What the minister means is that if there are too many ants, they can bite the elephant to death......"

Li Erma said indifferently: "Don't forget, there are exceptions to this, Zhou Yu can defeat Cao Cao with 30,000 soldiers and horses." I can also use 3,000 Xuanjia troops to defeat Dou Jiande's 100,000 army! Why don't young people have the courage and ambition at all? When I was working hard with Dou Jiande. It's only about your age! ”

Suning blinked and said, "Otherwise, Your Majesty will also transfer three thousand Xuanjia troops to the ministers?" ”

Li Er was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand a little embarrassedly: "How can the Xuanjia Army move lightly?" Unless I go on a personal expedition, the Xuanjia Army will not be able to move. And the only elite around me is the Xuanjia Army. That was the general reserve, which was originally reserved for the steppe. Now, I'm going to be ready for you, if you can't do it seriously. I'm going to send the Xuanjia Army to support you, but of course, I don't really hope that day.

All in all, Suning, this is helpless, and it is also a test for you, the pharmacist told me many times before, although you have won many battles and made great contributions, but your biggest shortcoming is that you have not personally commanded an army of more than 10,000 people to fight with an enemy army of more than 10,000 people.

And you like to sneak attack when you fight, like to design, like to use traps and firearms to deal with the enemy, but really face-to-face on the battlefield, more than 100,000 people against each other, these things can't play a big role, the pharmacist is very worried about this, worried that you will be just a strong general all your life, and you can't become a handsome person like the ancient famous general, so Suning, this is a test for you, and it is also a chance for you, you have to hurry up! ”

Suning was defeated by Li Er's shameless words, watching him say nonsense, he was speechless, okay, okay, Suning decided to try to fight for more benefits for himself: "Then Your Majesty, what is the minimum requirement for ministers?" ”

Li Ermajesty looked at Suning deeply, and stretched out his hand to Beiping City on the map: "You can't let the Goguryeo people cross Beiping City one step, even if the entire territory of Liaodong is lost, it doesn't matter, as long as Beiping City is still there, we have a way to beat the Goguryeo people back, you have to hold on for at least half a year, and after half a year, the army can come back to help, before that, except for ordnance, grain and grass, there are no soldiers and horses that can support you, you have to understand." ”

Suning nodded, and said helplessly: "Then Your Majesty, in that case, how many generals are left in Chang'an City for the ministers to call?" ”

Li Er said: "There are not many, if there is, will I use you as the commander?!" However, there are still many students in the military university, if you want, you can discuss it with the pharmacist, and it is okay to recruit a group of military academy students to help you, anyway, they also need to be experienced, don't they? ”

Suning blinked his eyes and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, you don't want to say that even Cheng Chumo and Li Zhen have already gone to the grassland, right?" What about Wang Xuance? What about Duhe? ”

Li Erma's scholar Su Ning shrugged his shoulders: "As you can see, they are all gone, oh, Changsun Chong was sick some time ago, and he was just about to go to the grassland after he got sick, and Changle became pregnant, so he didn't go, well, I am going to have a little grandson, hahahaha!" ”

Suning said extremely depressedly: "Your Majesty xià ......"

Li Erma said: "The current situation, that's it, if you want to send troops, it should be sooner rather than later, I will give you two days to prepare, and you will send troops, at least half a year, if you don't get half a year and you lose Beiping City, you don't want to come back, solve it yourself!" ”

Suning's heart sank, and he said respectfully: "Minister Suning obeys orders!" ”

Looking at the back of Suning leaving, Li Er's eyes gradually became a little guilty, and he muttered softly: "There is really no way, I can only rely on you, Suning, don't let me down......"

When Suning left the study, the four guards immediately surrounded him, looking at Suning eagerly, Suning looked at them depressedly: "We are going to war, and you will also go with me to fight Goguryeo." ”

The four guards were overjoyed, and they were about to celebrate, Suning rolled his eyes: "We only have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Goguryeo has 150,000." ”

Four Guardian Petrochemical ......

I haven't been home for more than half a year, and Suning still thinks that I should go back home, see my wife and children, eat a meal at home, and lead the army to fight tomorrow, right? However, as soon as Suning left the imperial city, he saw a guard from Li Jing's mansion waiting outside. As soon as the guard saw Suning, he immediately came over and saluted: "Suhou, the master heard that you are back, and I really want to see you." ”

Suning looked at the sky and nodded: "Okay, you can take me there!" ”

………………

Li Jing is sick, the illness is not light, as the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, and it is really good to put it on Li Jing. I'm older. The body and bones are not as good as before, and the first battle of Zhenguan's four years is a great sound, and he has never gone out to fight again, but he takes students every day. Brought out so many excellent great lads. Li Jing also felt very happy. Very gratifying, of course, the most gratifying thing is the cheap apprentice. The people who have achieved the most, have the highest talents, and can rely on the most.

The news of the Goguryeo soldiers and horses coming to invade was still sent by Li Erma Xià to sue Li Jing, mainly because there was no one in the court, Li Erma Xià hoped that Li Jing would bring a soldier to solve it if he could, and when the generals came back, Li Erma Xià would clean them up fiercely, but when he saw Li Jing's sick appearance, he realized that Li Jing might not be able to lead troops to fight.

But he is still worried about the affairs of Goguryeo, a despicable small country, 150,000 soldiers and horses, how many people are there, this is the strength of the whole country! This afternoon, the people in the palace talked about seeing Suning on the road and rushing to the palace, Li Jing speculated, and immediately understood that there was no suitable general to command the army in the DPRK, and there were not enough soldiers and horses, so he could only hope for Suning, a strange general who was full of scheming and invincible battles.

Li Jing has always been very worried that Suning will not be able to really become a famous general and inherit his mantle because he can't get the opportunity to lead the army alone, but at this moment, Li Jing doesn't really want Suning to fight, Li Ermaxi will allocate a maximum of 30,000 soldiers and horses to Suning, and Suning will rely on these 30,000 soldiers and horses to resist the crazy attack of Goguryeo's 150,000 army for at least half a year, at least until the grassland is pacified, then at least half a year!

30,000 people against 150,000 people, Zhuge Liang can't do it, don't you still have to retreat slowly? No matter how Suning can use the trick, the trick is limited after all, and the limited trick, where can it confront the real hard power? Suning was now pitted by the Manchu generals, and they all ran to the grassland to fight the autumn wind, and Li Ermaxi has always disliked long-distance remote control campaign command, one of these two battles was entrusted to Li Shiji, and the other was entrusted to Cheng Zhijie, all of them are elite generals!

What is left for Suning is either old or young, either disabled or sick, to be honest, if Li Jing can't get up if he is not sick, he will also have a headache for this battle, the gap in strength is there, how can he not get benefits! What's more, Suning alone, at most Xue Rengui, Li Jing also plans to send Li Boyao to Suning, three young people who don't talk like words, 30,000 second-class troops, can deal with 150,000 strong soldiers in Goguryeo?

My Majesty, you are also carried away by victory, those generals are crazy, they are all crazy! You have to clean it up! Where did you get your self-confidence, all of them went to the grassland!!

Weak emotion, the next person came to report, Suning came, Li Jing asked the waiting servant to help him up, lean on the bed, let Suning come in, as soon as Suning entered the room, smelled a strong smell of medicine, and then saw Li Jing's pale face, couldn't help but worry, immediately stepped forward to hold Li Jing's hand, and gave him a pulse: "Master, why are you so sick?" ”

Li Jing's pulse is fine, not too disordered, probably just cold, the weather is cold, the season is warm and cold, I didn't grasp the scale, so I lay on the bed, touched Li Jing's forehead, it was not too hot, but it was also a low-grade fever, and I couldn't help asking: "Master, how many days have you been sick?" ”

Li Jing smiled slightly: "It's been five days, don't worry, the old man's body is hard!" ”

Suning said angrily: "Didn't the master go to invite Mr. Sun Simiao?" Who is the patient who treats the condition? ”

Li Jing shook his head and smiled: "The Northern Expedition of the army, the 200,000 army is exhausted, the Chang'an General Courtyard is empty, and all of them have gone to the grassland, so the old man found a Lang Zhong to take a look, it doesn't matter, don't worry." ”

Suning frowned and said, "Quack! It should have been pulled out to feed the dogs! Master, you can't do this, you are having a low-grade fever, if it is not good, it becomes a high fever, it will be life-threatening, your age is not young, your body is not as good as before, but you should pay more attention, the military academy is full of young people in their teens and twenties, you are not as good as them! Come! Follow this prescription to grab the medicine, and then use the civil and military fire to repeatedly boil, three bowls of water boiled into a bowl of water, you can put some rock sugar, do you hear clearly? ”

Li Jing looked at Suning with a smile and looked majestic, and when the next person left, and when there were only two people left in the whole room, he said: "Ning'er, you have changed, you have become calm, more like a Hou Ye, a third-grade high-ranking official, hehe, in a blink of an eye, it has been seven years, the original little hairy child, the current adult, alas...... The days are so fast! In a blink of an eye, it's time for the old man to go into the ground, and it's not good to always drag it to death! Li Jing held Suning's hand and sighed with emotion.

Suning also held Li Jing's hand and said: "Master, what are these words, you are the patriarch of Datang, the god of the army, or the sacrificial wine of the military academy, as long as you are here, we will not worry that there are not enough talents to use, and we will not worry about what chaos will happen in the military academy, Datang can't do without you, you are only in your sixties, Huang Zhong can still go to war at the age of seventy, Lian Po can still fight at the age of eighty, and your days are still long!" ”

Li Jing laughed "hehehe", and held Suning's hand harder: "Ning'er, aren't you going to Beiping?" ”

Suning was stunned for a moment and said, "You know everything?" ”

Li Jing nodded: "As soon as you come back, the old man will know that it must be you." (To be continued......)
