One hundred and ninety-eight Suning asked for battle
When Li Erbixia roared angrily, Zhao Chen, the new personal eunuch beside him, saw Suning, so he walked out slowly, walked in front of Suning, and asked in a low voice, "What is the matter with Su Hou here?" Bixia is angry, if it's okay, let's go, if there's something, don't say anything wrong at this time! ”
As soon as Suning was about to say something, Li Erbixia's roar came in: "Isn't it Suning?" What to do at this time? Zhao Chen, let him in! ”
Suning shrugged his shoulders, Zhao Chen turned sideways with a depressed face, and motioned for Suning to go in, Suning walked in honestly and respectfully, and then gave a big salute: "Minister Suning, meet Bixia!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Li Erbixia waved his hand: "No courtesy, what are you doing here?" I haven't appeared for more than two months, so why don't you come here at this time? Don't know what's going on? ”
Suning looked at the seven or eight ministers in a circle around, only Cheng Yanjin, Fang Xuanling and Comrade Wei Renjing had seen it themselves, and the rest didn't know each other, knowing that this was a good opportunity to perform, so Suning bowed and said, "The minister is here to congratulate Bixia." ”
Li Erbixia frowned, those ministers also frowned, Li Erbixia looked at Suning with an old god on his face, the anger in his stomach became more and more intense, and said in a deep voice: "Datang has lost more than 1,000 soldiers, and the people have been killed and injured thousands, how can you be happy?" If you don't say that you are ugly today, don't blame me for being rude! ”
Suning said: "The minister should indeed congratulate Bixia!" Although Datang lost more than 1,000 soldiers and thousands of people, this minister is also very sad, but. But because of the sacrifices of these soldiers and people, Datang can get 80,000 free labor, 30,000 or 40,000 middle-aged male laborers, and countless cattle, sheep and horses, isn't this a happy event? As far as the minister knows, since the beginning of spring, the Turkic slaves of the Gongnu Division have been tired to death! ”
Li Erbixia was stunned for a moment, and the anger in his stomach was immediately extinguished, yes. Fang was too angry. So much so that I forgot that the current Datang is different from the Datang in the past, the Datang in the past fought purely to vent anger, and now the Datang fights to capture more slaves. Get more wealth. To a greater extent, the people will be exempted from forced labor. Lighten the burden of the people!
Suddenly, Li Erbixia's feeling in his heart was different, and he began to think about how long 80,000 slaves could support. How many projects can be added, now there are less than 40,000 Turkic slaves left, and it is inevitable that the people will be conscripted for forced labor in this way, which is too shameful for the imperial court, although this matter has not been issued by the official document of the imperial court, but it seems that the people have agreed, and so supportive, if this is abolished because the number of slaves is not enough, it is too much to say, just right, these guys jumped out, this timing is too good!
Li Erbixia showed a clear look, this is not worrying that there are not enough manpower, it is really timely!
A circle of ministers also showed a look of understanding, and Cheng Yanjin immediately shouted: "Bixia, what Su Xiaozi said is right, please also ask Bixia to take the ministers as the main commander, lead the army to beat Hu Xue, and arrest all their mouths!" Make cattle and horses for the people of our Datang! It can be regarded as avenging those soldiers and people who died tragically! ”
At this time, another minister also stood up: "Bixia! Ministers, please fight! General Cheng only fought the Turks last year, and he has not rested well, and the minister has already recuperated and is ready to go! Please also ask Bixia to take the minister as the commander and lead the army to break the enemy! ”
Cheng Yanjin was immediately unhappy: "Chai Shao! Don't rob Lao Cheng! What do you mean? What does it mean that Lao Cheng has not rested well? His mother's Lao Cheng didn't fight a few battles before the Turks let Su Xiaozi burn it down, and before Lao Cheng could run his body hot, his mother's battle was over! It's been a year! If there is no more war, Lao Cheng's bones will be crispy! ”
Suning took a look, it turned out that this middle-aged man was Chai Shao, the husband of the late Princess Pingyang, the general of the town army, and the Duke of Qian Guo, who could also be regarded as a man of brilliant military achievements, and the Chai Shao who died young in the legend of Shuanglong in the Tang Dynasty is too different, for example, Princess Pingyang died in front of Chai Shao, and it has been seven years now.
Chai Shao was even more angry, and directly burst into a foul mouth: "You guy, your bones are crispy, my Chai Shao's bones are not crispy?" You still fought a battle, and Lao Tzu didn't even fight! You can't rob me this time anyway! ”
Before Li Er Bixia could stop the scolding battle between the two people, a middle-aged man with a calm face stood up: "Bixia! Minister Li Daozong invites war! ”
Okay, there is a famous general of the clan who is as famous as Li Xiaogong directly, and Xingyun is in a hurry, so let's say that the enemy of the Tang Dynasty at this time is the famous generals who are looking for death and getting together, but the enemy is just a little bit, so these famous generals are inevitably fighting for it, even if it is the prince of the clan, it is no exception.
Li Erbixia waved his hand with a headache: "Don't talk about it, all of you want to fight, just one enemy, so many of you go?" Datang hasn't gotten to that point yet! You don't think it's a loss of my heavenly bearing?! ”
Comrade Wei Renjing stood up: "Bixia, the minister thinks, as the Marquis of Sanyuan said, this battle is undoubtedly a very important opportunity for the Tang Dynasty, on the one hand, if this battle is won, it can stabilize the situation in the north, so that those who are ready to move know that my Tang soldiers are pointing and invincible, on the other hand, the labor reform policy has great benefits for the country and the people, if there are 80,000 slaves to supplement at this time, it will undoubtedly be of great help to the Public Slave Division, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are in short supply of manpower. ”
A middle-aged man in a purple official uniform stood up: "Bixia, what Dr. Wei said is very true, the military department is in urgent need of manpower at this time, and the Turkic slaves who transported military rations this year are less than 10,000, if it continues like this, it will inevitably be necessary to recruit people to participate in the transportation of military rations next year, so the princes and princes will gather to fight!" Capture slaves and fill them with military supplies! ”
This is Hou Junji? It doesn't look like much, sure enough, what the old man Li Jing said is the truth, he knows the face but doesn't know the heart, and he can see that the old guy who Hou Junji is going to rebel is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Cheng Yanjin saw that there was another merit-grabbing person, and he was immediately angry: "I said Hou Shangshu, you should be your military department Shangshu well!" It's time to manage your troops! The affairs of the more than 600 military mansions in the Tang Dynasty are not enough for you to be busy? Do you want to grab the opportunity to go out with Lao Cheng?! The book of the military department should have the appearance of the book of the military department! Don't shout and kill all day long! ”
Hou Junji's eyes widened, and his heart said that you are an old splash! Open your mouth to refute. Li Erbixia frowned, and shouted with a wave of his big hand: "Okay, okay, okay, don't fight, any of you are justified in this matter, but teach me how to do it?" Settle down, Xuan Ling, what do you think? ”
Fang Xuanling's old god stood up, bowed to Li Erbixia, and said, "Bixia, the minister thinks." This battle is just as the Marquis of Mihara County said. There are two main points, one of which is to defeat Hu Xue and deter the tribes. lest it brew into a bigger rebellion. Second. It was a question of the continuation of the policy of reform-through labor, and the loss of Turkic slaves was too fast, and the chief of the public slave department wrote a series of letters requesting that the number of slaves be replenished. This is a great opportunity! Therefore, the minister recommended Li Daozong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, as the commander. ”
As soon as these words came out, before Li Erbixia opened his mouth to ask why, Cheng Biting Jin Chai Shao and Hou Junji formed a temporary alliance, and scolded Fang Xuanling, and the spittle stars were sprayed on Fang Xuanling's face, Fang Xuanling still looked like an old god, Suning couldn't help but sigh, if you can't do this as an official, don't argue with these people in the court, in case someone with a habit of cleanliness doesn't do well, he will kill someone.
When the three-person alliance was tired of scolding, Fang Xuanling said to Li Erbixia, who was not half angry on his face: "Bixia should already understand what the minister meant. ”
The three of them were stunned, what do they understand? What understands?
Li Erbixia understood, Suning understood, and Comrade Wei Renjing also understood, and Li Daozong Gujing Wubo's face showed a slight smile, happy for his victory.
Li Erbixia said in a deep voice: "This battle is not entirely for the face of Datang, but also for the implementation of Datang's policies, and for the people of Datang, you three look at yourself, Xuan Ling just recommended the Taoist Sect, you are in a hurry, one race can be said, the temperament is so unstable!" The purpose of this battle is the 80,000-plus people! If you are sent, if you are provoked, you will not be killed? How many captives will you be able to bring back then? Is it enough for Datang? Well? What's more, Daozong had sat as the governor of Lingzhou a few years ago, and he knew the situation there very well, and Daozong was the best candidate for this expedition, so this matter was decided! ”
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then lowered their heads boringly, knowing that they had been pitted, but they also blamed themselves for not being angry and couldn't hold their breath, so they had to watch this beauty fall into the hands of Li Daozong, who spoke the least...... Li Daozong accepted this "heavy responsibility" with a smile, and said that he would not disappoint Bixia, and would definitely come back with many, many prisoners, so that Datang would no longer have to worry about having no slaves available.
At this time, Suning knew that it was time for him to speak, and this was also the purpose of his coming: "Bixia, Minister Suning, please fight!" ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, Cheng Yanjin looked at Suning in surprise, and spoke directly: "Su boy, you have indeed made great achievements in battle, but what do you want to do this time?" Datang has no precedent for joining the army at the age of fourteen, you were only a special case before, this can't be encouraged, otherwise everyone will go to the army, who will go to farm? There are few people in the Tang Dynasty, and this kind of thing of fishing can't happen. ”
Cheng Yanjin still has some knowledge, he is also an official eunuch and has read books, but what Suning wants to say is not what he means; Suning said: "Bixia, General Cheng, the meaning of the minister, is not to encourage the fourteen-year-old to join the army, the minister also understands, the minister means that the minister is also very supportive of the minister to go to the army to experience the experience, the minister has studied with the master for more than three months, a little progress, the master said, the generals are fought on the battlefield, if you can't go to the battlefield, no matter how long you learn, it is in vain, if you want to go further, you need to go to the battlefield."
Although the minister is young, it is estimated that he will be fifteen when he returns to the army at the end of the war, which cannot be regarded as young, and the minister is not officially joining the army, but he just hopes to join the army temporarily as he broke the Turkic war, go to the battlefield to experience, and see the real confrontation between the two armies. ”
Li Erbixia raised his head and looked at Suning in a little surprise, and asked, "The pharmacist agreed?" ”
Almost everyone knows about Suning's worship of Li Jing as a teacher, and there are many people who are very optimistic about Suning and regard him as an important candidate for the second generation of military gods, but now Suning's age is indeed too young, even Huo Hussar was eighteen years old when he joined the army, so Cheng Yanjin and others did not agree very much, but Suning is Li Jing's disciple, Li Jing has this intention, it is obvious that he wants to throw Suning into the army to experience experience, and the scale of this battle will not be very large, Li Daozong is a famous general, and he is well versed in the art of commanding the army, which is almost a sure victory. Going to the army to see and see is also a great opportunity.
Suning nodded: "This is what Shizun personally promised." ”
Li Erbixia nodded: "Okay, I agreed, since the pharmacist also agreed, I can't interfere from it." ”
Comrade Wei Renjing stepped forward and said: "Bixia, although the Marquis of Sanyuan is a disciple of Li Xianggong, and Li Xianggong also promised the Marquis of Sanyuan to join the army to fight, but the age of the Marquis of Sanyuan is still too young, not to mention that he has only recently made a marriage with the lord of Ping'an County. And how to explain to Su Fu? The Marquis of Sanyuan County is the only son in the family, and his brother Su Lie is also in the army, so Bixia can't rashly agree! ”
Okay, and if you don't have children, you won't be allowed to go to the battlefield, at this point, Suning doesn't object, and agrees very much, this is a very humane regulation, which is very important for the inheritance of incense, however, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, this is almost a must-win battle, and the scale will not be a big opportunity, but not much, Suning must not miss it, it is precisely because he is responsible for the entire Su family and Li Ruihan's little girl, that he must participate in the war, accumulate little by little, so as to gain enough status.
Li Erbixia was a little shaken by what Comrade Wei Renjing said, and at this time, Fang Xuanling also stepped forward to admonish: "What Dr. Wei said is true, Sanyuan Hou is a rare young man in our dynasty, and he is just married, and Bixia is well versed in the dangers of the battlefield. The minister also did not approve of the Marquis of Sanyuan going to the battlefield. ”
The two most valued ministers under Li Erbixia clearly expressed their opposition, and those generals didn't seem to agree, but for the sake of Li Jing's face, they didn't say it explicitly, but in this case, not saying it was tantamount to opposition.
