The next day.
Since today is still a Yuanzheng holiday, a group of generals are resting at home and do not need to go to court.
Yesterday Li Shimin had told them the strategic deployment requirements, and the specific arrangements required these battle-experienced generals themselves.
As for food and logistics, the Shangshu Province is responsible for overall planning.
Therefore, people from Shangshu Province were summoned back to the DPRK one after another to prepare materials for the war.
During the third watch of the sun.
Xue Rengui, Er Dan, Xu Hu and Xi Jun bought four people, carrying the gifts prepared by Wang Jian, they went straight to their respective masters' mansions.
Cheng Yaojin’s mansion.
In the lobby.
"What!?"
"That boy Wang Jian made you the military commander of Wei Dao?"
"The military commanders of other provinces are all So young?"
Upon hearing the news brought by his disciple Wang Erdan, the old assassin Cheng Yaojin jumped up in surprise.
This guy Wang Jian is too courageous!
Cheng Yaojin frowned tightly and said helplessly: "Good apprentice, what on earth did your elder brother think and why did he bring you all along?"
According to his understanding of Wang Jian, that little slippery man doesn't like to do risky things.
But from this selection of the marching commander for the expedition to Tuyuhun, Cheng Yaojin felt that Wang Jian's decision was not good at all.
Erdan said in a buzzing voice: "Master, my eldest brother said that he is absolutely sure."
On one side of the lobby.
Cheng Chumo lay comfortably on the rocking chair and said casually: "Dad, Brother Wang is so wise. Since he thinks it's okay, I think it must be okay."
"No, that's right. A little Tuyuhun? He can beat them to pieces with just a few charges."
Cheng Yaojin turned around suddenly and looked at his eldest son Youzai Youzai. I'm so angry.
Others at his age have been promoted to imperial censors by their own abilities.
And this bastard is very proud of just being the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple.
The more Cheng Yaojin thought about it, the angrier he became.
He couldn't help but rush forward and silently slapped Cheng Chu twice.
"Hiss~"
"Dad, are you going to beat me to death?"
Cheng Chumo touched his painful head and shouted speechlessly.
He provoked whomever, didn't he just lie down for a while, as for mistreating him like this?
Hey, it seems that Erdan is just like his daddy. He picked it up from the cracks in the rocks.
Cheng Yaojin stopped talking to Cheng Chumo, his useless son. Instead, he sighed and then said to Erdan with a solemn expression.
"Hey, disciple, since your elder brother has made such an arrangement, then you have to work hard."
"Let's go with the master to the Youwuwei Camp and let the master choose for you. Five thousand elites. "
"As for the remaining five thousand elites, they will be selected for you from the soldiers of Luzhou, Rongzhou and Rongzhou."
Cheng. Yaojin envoy Chijie was in charge of the military affairs of the three states of Lu, Rong, and Rong. He was also a general of Youwuwei, so he had a large number of soldiers under his command.
However, the overall quality of the soldiers is one level worse than the soldiers directly under Youwuwei.
Erdan clasped his fists gratefully and said, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said, "No more nonsense, let's set off now."
Selecting good soldiers requires a period of training.
Time is very tight and there is no room for delay.
Not only Cheng Yaojin had this reaction, but Li Jing, Li Ji and Yuchi Gong also took their disciples to select elites from the army.
Wang Jian asked them to visit their respective masters and tell them about being the marching commander. This was the purpose.
This group of generals and masters saw their disciples commanding so many soldiers and horses for the first time, and they still had to gnaw hard bones.
Naturally, I felt very worried.
Moreover, the soldiers they prepared for their disciples were all strong men, and they were all the best among the best.
Even the core members such as General Zhonglang sent many people there.
The huge noise caused by these generals also reached Li Shimin's ears.
After learning that Cheng Yaojin was a traitor, he transferred his deputy general Guo Daquan, General Youwuwei, to Erdan's command to serve as deputy marching commander.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
For a Youwuwei general to serve as a deputy general to a Youwuwei Zhonglang general, no one except Cheng Yaojin could do it.
Although Yuchi Gong did not send a deputy general to Xu Hu, he transferred all his most elite cavalry to Xu Hu's command.
"These old killers are really willing to give up."
Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the information sent by the spies.
Another day has passed.
Yuan Zheng’s vacation is over.
All civil and military officials began to return to their posts.
The fifth year of Zhenguan.
The first official meeting.
Li Shimin stood on the high steps, looked at the civil and military officials below and said loudly: "My dear friends, since December last year, Tuyuhun has repeatedly invaded Lanzhou, Liangzhou, Shanzhou and other places."
"They not only plundered the wealth of our people of the Tang Dynasty,Rich, but also killed many innocent people. ”
“After discussions between me and a group of ministers and generals, I decided to launch a war of national annihilation against Tuyuhun in early March. "
"Completely incorporate the Tuyuhun area into the territory of my Datang Dynasty! "
Wow!
When the civil and military officials heard this breaking news for the first time, it was like dropping a huge boulder on a calm lake, causing waves in an instant.
The officials looked at each other and whispered to each other.
Last year, the Tang Dynasty launched a large-scale war to destroy the Eastern Turks, and now it is launching a war to destroy the country. Too frequent wars are quite militaristic.
< p> But what Li Shimin said next instantly dispelled their doubts"In order to allow the people to recuperate, I, the Tang Dynasty, only sent 50,000 elite cavalry for this expedition! "
Li Shimin waved to Wang De and said: "Wang De, announce the edict. "
"No! "
Wang De responded, then walked to the side of the high steps, raised the edict in his hand and read loudly.
"By decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the magistrate of Longmen County was appointed. , Wang Jian, the imperial censor, was the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition of the Tang Dynasty. He was the general manager of the Xihaidao March and was in charge of the entire army. "
"Su Dingfang, the general of Zuo Wuhou Zhonglang, was appointed as the deputy commander of the Western Expedition of the Tang Dynasty and the deputy general manager of the march to the West Sea Road. "
"Assign Xue Rengui, the general of Zuowu Guards, as the general manager of the river march. "
...
"I appointed Xi Junmai, the captain of Youguoyi in Bingzhou, as the general manager of the march on Guaji Stone Road. "
What!
Hearing the various marching commanders, the civil and military officials were shocked again.
In addition to Su Dingfang's rich combat experience, several other marching commanders , they are all a group of yellow-haired boys under 20 years old.
Apart from participating in the attack on the Eastern Turks, they have no other combat experience.
And although Wang Jian, the imperial censor, he When it comes to internal affairs and investigating things, they are talented people.
But leading troops to fight is completely different from doing internal affairs.
Sending them out will not cause big problems. ?
After a brief moment of astonishment, they looked at the tall young men standing in the middle of the Taiji Hall.
These marching generals seemed to be... They are all Wang Jian's people!
Is Your Majesty trying to support the grassroots forces?
The pupils of the civil and military officials suddenly widened. The official looked at Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and other big shots, and saw that they all had expressionless faces, and all the officials were silent.
Such power. Let these big guys do the fighting.
Anyway, they are just a group of juniors, drinking behind these big guys.Order soup.
Immediately afterwards, Wang De read the second edict.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered that General Zhang Liang and the founding Duke Xue Wanche of the Tang Dynasty led 10,000 troops to garrison Yingzhou to prepare for Goguryeo's southward march at any time."
"..."
"Hou Junji, Minister of War, and General Cheng Yaojin of Youwuwei led 10,000 troops to garrison Shazhou to guard against the Western Turks."
After hearing your Majesty's arrangement, Baiguan once again suddenly realized.
It turns out that His Majesty arranged a group of generals to defend against four powerful countries.
