664 Little Fresh Meat Li Boyao (I)
I have to say that for a group of idle generals in the Tang Dynasty, Tubo in the chaos is like a rotten egg, which has a fatal attraction to those generals, in order to strive for merit, in order to show loyalty, in order to show Li Erma, in order to show that their interests are all in military affairs and have no political ambitions, the achievements made by the Army Staff Headquarters made Suning breathtaking, and it was only ten days after conveying Li Erma's instructions, and a complete and detailed report on the march route was submitted to Li Erma's hands.
Li Erma Xià was invited by them to the staff headquarters, Li Shiji personally simulated and deduced the battle he expected for Li Ermaxi in the Tubo sand table that had just been made, in this deduction, Suning was fortunate to participate, and noticed the later very famous Stone Fort City that Li Shiji emphatically proposed.
Shibao City is said to have been built by Emperor Wen of Sui, located in Qinghai, backed by Huashi Mountain, facing the Yaoshui River, and sitting on a maroon cliff. The front cliff is steep, the mountains on both sides are varied, such as the goshawk spreads its wings, it is intimidating, it is the traffic point of the border between Tubo and Tang, Tubo occupies it, you can look at Longyou, send troops to cut off Longyou Avenue at any time, make the connection point between the Western Regions and Guanzhong disconnected, quite tricky.
Similarly, if the Tang Dynasty occupies it, it can connect many defensive strongholds on the border between Tubo and Tang into a line, and look at Tubo itself, in fact, Tubo and Tang fought several times in Shibao City, with tens of thousands of casualties, the most famous battle is that Geshuhan attacked Shibao City with 63,000 soldiers and horses, and lost more than 30,000 soldiers to barely capture Shibao City.
But this situation is unlikely to be repeated today, because Datang has an absolute advantage. Although Shibao City is occupied by Tubo, but Tubo is caught in a three-way melee, Shibao City is on the border between Tubo and Tang, and the road to the capital Luocheng has long been cut off by the mob army, it can be said that today's Shibao City is actually a lonely city, and it does not have much significance, but Li Shiji accidentally noticed Shibao City when he led his troops to fight last time, so he became interested.
After deducing on the map and on the sand table, they really discovered the extraordinary features of Shibao City, and they discovered the significance of Emperor Wen of Sui to establish Shibao City. I am deeply impressed by the wisdom of our predecessors. It was decided that the stone castle city must be recaptured in order to comfort the souls of the ancestors in the sky, and at the same time, the stone castle city has now lost its strategic significance. But there are still some people stationed. Lu Dongzan seems to have left an army behind to garrison Shibao City during his lifetime. I don't know what the situation is now, but no matter what, Stone Castle City will be taken.
And with the exception of Stone Castle City. The whole northern part of Tubo is in chaos, the leader of the mob legion doesn't seem to pay much attention to the defense of the rear, but there are some people scattered and stationed in some temporary population settlements, even the city is not, once it is found by the Tang Iron Cavalry, except for death or death, there is no decent defense in the entire northern part of Tubo, as long as there is a reason, once the troops are dispatched, the generals all said that they can absolutely sweep the north within a month, and look at the south.
Li Erma Xià was very satisfied, praised the people in the staff headquarters, Niu Jinda then proposed to Li Erma, the students of the Military University also hope to participate in this war, with the development of the Tang Dynasty, the rebellion has become less and less, last year's Zhenguan eight years was a large-scale rebellion, so that the military university had no way to dispatch for a whole year, although the students are very precious, but the soldiers who have not experienced the tempering of the war are not soldiers, Therefore, Niu Jinda implored Li Er Majesty to allow the current senior military university students to go out with the army.
After the popularization of education and the implementation of printing, the bookstores opened by the royal family have blossomed everywhere, and the people of the Tang Dynasty can already have a book of their own, what is lacking is only the people who teach them to read, and these things are only a matter of time, so the large growth of the number of readers and the improvement of the population are already predictable, and the importance of literate soldiers is not as perverted as before, so it is no longer an accidental event for military university students to go out with the army.
In fact, the first batch of students had already experienced many large-scale battles before joining the army and accumulated very rich experience, so they created a group of extremely excellent military seedlings, which attracted the crazy robbery of the generals regardless of their identities, while the military university students who had not experienced the tempering of the war were obviously much weaker.
Therefore, Li Jing and Niu Jinda convened a collective meeting of the instructors and instructors of the military university, and the decision made at the meeting was to ask the emperor to let the mature students of the senior year of the military university go out with the army, participate in every heavy war as a trainee officer, accumulate rich experience, and come back to write a report and hand it over to the military academy and give it to Li Jing for instructions, so as to exercise the minds of these students and increase their real experience.
Regarding this matter, Li Erma thought for a while and agreed, but the students of the military university are still baby bumps, ensuring safety is the first priority, and then they can make meritorious contributions, and the life of his wife and son cannot be saved, so he can only send it to the Loyal Soul Temple.
Suning's heart moved, he realized that Li Jing's grandson Li Boyao was among the students of this military academy, and the original little fresh meat has gradually grown into a beautiful young man, Li Jing was also a talent when he was young, and Zhang Chuchen, the red-haired girl, is also a peerless beauty, so when the excellent genes are inherited to Li Boyao's generation, they are still very powerful, and the youngest of the few good brothers at the beginning are Li Chengqian and Li Boyao, but Li Chengqian is the prince, and he will not consider going to the battlefield for the time being, only Li Boyao needs it.
Anyway, Suning has always thought that the greatest achievement in military affairs is Li Boyao, Li Boyao, who has won Li Jing's true biography, is not famous in history, but he is regarded as a god in some places in the south, and his military ability and political talent can also be seen, and Li Boyao is humble and has learned enough from Li Jing, Li Jing himself said that his son is not useful, but his grandson is a talent.
Li Boyao is currently the deputy director of the Security Department in the military academy, although he is the grandson of Li Jing, but he is quite good in behavior and is praised by everyone. And Li Jing treats him very harshly, other students can succeed if they do it three times, Li Boyao only has one chance to do it, and if he doesn't succeed, he will be scolded, Li Jing's strict discipline is exchanged for Li Boyao's deep and introverted, gentle and humble.
Suning likes to get along with Li Boyao very much, this gentle young man has not been tainted by Li Zhen's eldest grandson Chong's group of beasts, he has always adhered to his heart, and because of his young age, he is a little shy and introverted. has always regarded Suning as an important elder brother. I respect Suning very much, and treats Suning like a teacher in many ways, and Suning is also willing to mention Li Boyao in some things.
In fact, because Li Jing's military exploits were too great, it aroused the unanimous dissatisfaction of the generals of the Tang Dynasty. This dissatisfaction continued to Li Jing's descendants after Li Jing's retirement. Li Boyao's appearance made the generals who were dissatisfied with Li Jing equally dissatisfied. They didn't want to see the appearance of the second god of war, so Li Boyao in history did not have a reputation, and he died of illness after winning a battle. No more merit was made.
But the appearance of Suning reversed Li Boyao's fate, out of gratitude to Li Jing, it is imperative to make Li Boyao the second Li Jing, there is really no great talent in the second generation of Tang officials, Li Zhen is a military teacher-type talent, Changsun Chong is also a planning talent, Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin are both brave generals who charge into battle, and they can be the talents of both civil and military generals, and there is really no one in the second generation of Jiangmen.
Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance are both cutting-edge generals from civilian backgrounds, and the generals naturally don't want their children to lose too many talents from civilian backgrounds, so Suning, a special person, was given a special mission, of course, it was also unintentional, it was not a planned plan, but out of a sense of responsibility to his brother, Suning wanted to do this.
The second batch of dispatched troops in Guzhou and Hunzhou Prefecture are ready to go, and they can leave Chang'an City tomorrow and march to the land of Longyou, this night, all the military academy students who want to participate in this war operation have been granted permission by Li Jing, and those who live in Chang'an or around Chang'an City, and can rush back before the army is dispatched tomorrow can go home to visit their families, and if they can't, they can stay in the military academy and write a letter to their families.
Li Boyao did not choose to go back to his home, but chose to go to Suning Mansion, and galloped towards Suning Mansion, this time Suning did not participate, his long vacation has not ended, and he is at home with his children, is he still involved in the reconstruction of "Zhenguan Law", Li Erma Xià also promised that there are no heavy things will not disturb Suning to accompany his wife and children at home, but Li Erma's words can't be too believed, every time he said that he wouldn't make trouble for himself, the result was still a lot of trouble.
No way, who let himself be behind the innovation of Zhenguan?
Suning was very happy to receive Li Boyao, personally made a table of dishes, ate with Li Boyao, closed the door of the study, and did not let anyone in.
"You are going to go on the expedition tomorrow, this last meal of Chang'an's food, I will personally make it for you, when you arrive in the land of Longyou, you must be prepared to endure hardships and sins, don't complain about eating and sleeping in the open, everyone is the same, the general and you are treated the same, but the general can eat a few more pieces of meat, not much worse.
So, I'm going to make you more meat today, well, if there is going to be a war, we won't drink, we will drink some hot soup, eat some meat, and have a meal, we haven't sat down and eaten together for a long time. Suning smiled and put a piece of meat into Li Boyao's bowl.
Li Boyao smiled, put the meat into his mouth, chewed it with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "The food cooked by my brother is extremely delicious, and the food eaten in the canteen of the military academy is also delicious, but in the end, it is still not as good as the food made by my brother. ”
Suning looked at Li Boyao, who was very polite, with great satisfaction, and said with a smile: "You are really becoming more and more like a master, very good, very good, Ah Zhen and Ah Chong, those bastards didn't take you badly, very good, you did a good job, some things can not be cared about, but in the end, you still have to have your own persistence, feel that you are doing the right thing, don't care what others think, no matter what decision you make, I will support you." ”
Li Boyao nodded and smiled: "Bo Yao knows his brother's intentions, brother, this time Bo Yao is on an expedition with the army, and the good luck is uncertain, if there are three long and two short, grandfather and grandmother, I have to ask my brother to take care of it." ”
Suning was stunned for a moment, and then punched Li Boyao with a smile: "You don't have the confidence to survive the first expedition?" ”
Li Boyao lowered his head and smiled reluctantly: "The world is impermanent, who can guarantee that he will survive?" ”
Suning shook his head: "I can't say that, I can be regarded as having experienced more than ten battles, and I was only fourteen years old when I first participated in the war, three years younger than you now, from that time to the previous Shuzhong counterinsurgency battle, which battle did not have the risk of dying in battle?" I almost died in the battle of Lingzhou, I was knocked off my horse by an enemy general, if my brother hadn't come in time, I would have died a long time ago, but I still survived.
Bo Yao, don't think too much, this battle, the difficulty is not great, Tubo has become a pot of porridge, compared to the original Turks, it is much easier to fight, famous generals are not made in a day, no one is caught up with the battlefield to become a general, I have been fighting for several years, and now I have no experience in leading the army to fight alone, in fact, we are all the same.
