Li Erma's ascension to the throne, in order to consolidate his rule, while appeasing the imperial family, gave the royal family a lot of benefits, but with the consolidation of Li Erma's status and the increase of power, these benefits were slowly withdrawn, as time went by, more and more people were withdrawn benefits, in order not to let the courtiers with foreign surnames gossip, saying that the emperor only attaches importance to the imperial family and treats ministers harshly, Li Ermaxi also chose a group of royal family models, blocking the mouth of Youyou.

Li Daoyan is one of these typical ones, from the prince to the duke, his unhappiness, it is conceivable, and for him, it is not easy to regain the prince, since Zhenguan has expanded the border, the marquis is more inclined to military meritorious, rather than political achievements, he wants to get back the prince, the biggest hope is to make military merits in the army.

This expedition to Tuyuhun is his opportunity, and he is lucky, he happened to bump into the hurried herald sent out by Li Shiji, and asked about it, and asked about something, frowned, and knew that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly came to Li Shiji's military tent before Su Dingfang, wanting to fight for it, with his identity, he felt that it should not be difficult, although he was only a duke, but it was a royal family, isn't it?

Li Daozong, who is also a member of the royal family, can lead the army to conquer Tuyuhun alone, so he is also a royal family, and he is also qualified to lead an army to fight alone, isn't he? To be honest, it's not interesting to fight with the Qiang people, if you want to fight, you have to fight a big battle and get a big military merit, so that you can get back your own king.

But Li Shiji's attitude was very firm, and he wanted to hand over this character to Su Dingfang. Originally, this was understandable, and all the generals also knew Su Dingfang's ability, but Li Daoyan intervened in it, and this matter was a little troublesome, no matter what, he was also a royal family, right? It's really unnecessary to offend a royal family, but this can't be a joke about national affairs, right? If something bad happens to this guy, I'm going to sit together!

What's more, Li Shiji is the commander of this campaign, the chief of the Xikaidao march. He has the final say in everything. Where is there a chance for others to speak? The military regulations of the Tang Dynasty are extremely strict, even if you are the emperor, you must wear a military uniform and follow military orders in the army. Exactly. The combat effectiveness of the army of the Tang Dynasty is so strong.

Li Shiji decided not to make an exception. insisted on his own opinion, but Li Daoyan didn't do it, seeing such a big battle exploit fall into the mouths of others. It is impossible to say that he is not in a hurry, people are in a hurry, and it is easy to do bad things if they are in a hurry, Li Daoyan pointed at Li Shiji in anger and scolded: "You are bending the law for personal gain!" Deliberately targeting me, isn't it!? I can see it a long time ago, you have been putting me in the Chinese army and not letting me out! Li Daozong can lead an army alone, why can't I, Li Daoyan? I'm royalty too! ”

It's okay not to say this, as soon as he said this, Li Shiji was furious at the moment, and suddenly pulled out the sword in his waist and said angrily: "Bastard! It doesn't matter if you are a royal family or not, this is a military camp! There is only one kind of person here! Soldier! The military regulations of the Tang Dynasty are forbidden, and everyone must obey the military orders! Even if His Majesty came here, he could only issue military orders, not imperial orders! What you said is to openly question the fairness of this commander and contradict the official! What crime should you be guilty of disrespecting the orders of the army! Someone, gather the generals in the army! Today, let's make this clear! ”

Li Shiji is not a bodhisattva, although he is calm and humble, but in the end he is still a person, the clay man still has three points of fire, not to mention Li Shiji, a dignified seven-foot man, Li Daoyan sighed in his heart, realized that the big thing is not good, and it is okay to talk about Su Dingfang, it is a flat level, at that time, Li Shiji was said, then it was a big trouble, the number one emperor in the army is not very effective, and the only thing that works is the military order of the marshal.

As a general, it is a very strict thing to not obey the commander's orders, and even according to the severity of the situation, the commander has the cheap power to cut first and then play, that is to say, according to the situation that Li Daoyan openly questioned Li Shiji's order, Li Shiji can cut first and then play, even if he is a member of the imperial family, but he violates military orders, if the law enforcement is strict, he can completely take his life, so as soon as Li Shiji's voice fell, Li Daoyan's face turned white......

No one can question the majesty of Li Shiji in the army, this order has been irreversible from the moment it was issued, the war drums of the generals in the army sounded, and the generals were concerned about the war in the rear, but Li Shiji actually ordered someone to beat the drum of the generals, and the generals wondered if the war in the rear was unfavorable, and even Su Dingfang, who was ordered to go to Li Shiji's military tent, was also confused.

Su Dingfang was the first to arrive at Li Shiji's tent, and as soon as he entered, he was stunned, his eyes were round, not for anything else, but Li Shiji raised the sword in his hand with a cold face and pointed at Li Daoyan's neck, that distance was about the distance that could take his life as long as he stretched his hand forward, Su Dingfang was stunned and at a loss, and after a while, all the generals in the army gathered, and when they saw this scene, they were also at a loss, and they stood there stunned.

Li Shiji looked at the stunned generals for a moment, and said: "You wait for everyone to come in, the guards guard the tent, and no one is allowed to come in!" ”

"No!" Several guards turned around and left the tent, and the remaining generals also came to their senses, Li Shiji explained: "Ben Shuai received the news that 60,000 people of the Western Regions Coalition Army were defeated by the Tuyuhun Tubo Coalition Army, with a loss of 50,000 soldiers, and less than 10,000 wolves were left to evacuate.

As for the candidates, Ben Shuai decided to appoint General Su Lie to lead 5,000 iron cavalry to aid the Western Regions Coalition Army, but General Li Daoyan was dissatisfied, and even questioned that Ben Shuai was bending the law for personal gain. ”

After Li Shiji finished speaking, he put away his sword, still staring at Li Daoyan coldly, Li Daoyan breathed a sigh of relief, but his body was still trembling, and the generals suddenly realized, but then they made another difficulty, Su Dingfang, how much can he beat them in his eyes, he hit and rushed, as if he didn't want to die, he took the lead in charging, and a thousand cavalry could disrupt the opponent's army formation of 50,000 people, which is not only something that can be done by bravery.

He used his troops in a very orderly manner, led the cavalry to attack, and knew how to temporarily change the formation to fight the enemy. After disrupting the formation, he knew how to send a signal for help in time, and he also took his personal courage to the extreme, leading a team of personal guards to go directly to the Tuyuhun Chinese army, killing the enemy's main general's war horse with an arrow, breaking through the layers of footprints of the Chinese army, and almost capturing the enemy's main general.

This kind of courage and bravery, if you lead 5,000 iron cavalry to charge directly, it is estimated that you can defeat more than 50,000 enemy troops head-on, and if the number of these iron cavalry is increased tenfold to 50,000. It is estimated that it is he Su Dingfang who is rampant in the world. There are many fierce generals in the Tang Dynasty, but those who are so brave are estimated to be the guys of Yu Chi Gongcheng and Qin Qiong who rushed into battle with Li Erma.

The first fierce general of the Mesozoic Era was born.

Therefore, as for Li Shiji's order, all the generals thought that this should be a very correct and reasonable order. Li Shiji's name is resounding. The shadow of the name tree of man. No one will question him bending the law for personal gain, but this Li Daoyan is the only one who brought it up, and he is still in the army! If he is in the court, he is afraid of his royal status. Li Shiji won't do anything to him yet.

But this is in the army, even the emperor must be cautious in his words and deeds for fear of breaking the military regulations, this Li Daoyan is just a royal family, or a third-class duke, how dare he be so arrogant? Li Shiji himself is a second-class duke, in terms of knighthood and official position, Li Shiji is always much higher than Li Daoyan, even Li Daozong, who is a prince, obediently obeys Li Shiji's instructions, you Li Daoyan actually dare to question Li Shiji's character?

Look for trouble!

This is everyone's feeling, this is indisputable, but it is because of Li Daoyan's identity as a royal family, the generals have to think twice, if this matter is said, it will definitely be hated by Li Daoyan, Li Shiji is in a high position, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, he doesn't matter, but the rest of the generals have to think twice, and the end of offending the royal family is not very good.

They looked at Su Dingfang, and suddenly remembered that Su Dingfang's brother Suning's wife is Li Xiaogong's daughter, Suning is a royal family, Su Dingfang is a relative of the royal family, and he can barely be regarded as a relative of the imperial family, and Suning's future is definitely much stronger than this Li Daoyan, most of the generals in the army have shares in the Western Turkic caravan, and they also have a somewhat good impression of Suning, who brought them wealth, once this kind of problem is involved, it is not wrong to be better for Su Dingfang.

So the generals said that Li Daoyan was too arrogant, this is not correct, this is to be severely punished, considering that the war situation is urgent at this time, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so please ask Li Shiji to sentence a living crime!

Li Shiji was helpless in his heart, if he pulled the generals off the horse, he would not only offend the royal family, but also offend these generals, so let them get out of the matter, and even beg for mercy or something, they were fine, and they only offended Li Daoyan, but they didn't have to worry too much, if they let the generals in the army offend Li Daoyan with themselves, then they should be careful.

So Li Shiji's face turned cold, and he snorted: "Since the generals intercede for you, then avoid the death penalty!" But the death penalty can be avoided! There is no escaping the sin! Blatantly questioning the coach is a big rebellion! Fifty canes, come on! Drag it out! Execute! ”

Immediately, a few pro-soldiers came in and escorted Li Daoyan, who was like ashes, out, and after a while, the screams like killing pigs sounded, and the generals were close to each other, and they didn't dare to speak, and they also felt more guilty about Li Shiji, Li Shiji was a little depressed in his heart, but he still said very majestically: "This severe punishment of Li Daoyan is intended to warn the generals that the military regulations cannot be shaken, and whoever violates the military regulations, this commander will not show mercy!" Now, the generals are at your disposal! ”

The generals hurriedly stood up straight, clasped their fists with both hands and said, "The last general!" ”

Li Shiji shouted loudly: "The Western Regions Alliance Army has been defeated, Tuyuhun has gone to worry about the future, it is reported that Tuyuhun has collected 20,000 Tubo soldiers and horses and 10,000 Tuyuhun troops, a total of 30,000 people galloped to aid the national capital, counting the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the national capital, it is 60,000, plus 20,000 Qiang people in the rear of us, it is 80,000, twice as much as our army, our army is not good, but if you want to solve it, it is not too difficult, where is General Su Lie?!" ”

Su Dingfang came out of the ranks, hugged his fists and said: "The last general!" ”

Li Shiji said: "This commander ordered you to lead 5,000 iron cavalry, and the northern territory of Tuyuhun that our army has captured will cross the desert and reach the Western Regions, help the Western Regions coalition army, and strive to completely annihilate the Tubo Tuyuhun coalition army!" The position of the Tubo Tuyuhun coalition army will be reported to you in a timely manner by flying pigeons, you must remember that communication cannot be broken! Otherwise, if you get lost, the army of 5,000 will be in danger! Do you understand?! ”

Su Dingfang shouted loudly: "The last general understands! The last general will definitely do his best! ”

Li Shiji nodded, and then said to the rest of the generals: "After General Su leaves, our army will deal with the enemy's 80,000 troops with 35,000 soldiers and horses and 20,000 cavalry of the Western Turks. Tomorrow morning, the siege begins! But whoever resists, whether men, women, old or young, whether Tuyuhun or Tubo, will be killed! ”

The generals shouted in unison: "No! (To be continued......)
