Chapter 730: Sending troops to Tibet

Amid the screams of everyone, Changsun Wuji suddenly said loudly: "Only 50% sure, you dare to threaten to send troops to Tubo. Do you know how much effort it took to form the Qinghai Guard? They were all the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. If you are defeated, even if you lose all your family property, you will not be able to afford it!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "How important is Qinghai Guard? I know better than you. I have the right to speak in the military affairs. Don't worry. I have said that I have 50% certainty to attack and destroy Tubo, but I still have 50% certainty to be harmonious. I will not write the word "defeat."

The ministers were upset again when they heard this. Even Changsun Wuji's face changed drastically, staring at Li Hao with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "You dare to boast about such a loud voice. Okay, what if you return after defeat, what should you do!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "If I return after defeat, I live in a corner of southern Qiong in this life and will never return to Chang'an."

As soon as this said, the whole house was quiet, and the needle could be heard. Everyone showed shock on their faces. Li Zhi wanted to dissuade him, but he knew Li Hao's temper, and it was useless to persuade him. Li Shimin also wanted to dissuade him. Due to the emperor's identity, he could not say much.

Others also advised each other, such as Di Renjie, Ma Zhou, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, etc., but Changsun Wuji did not give them a chance to speak at all, and said loudly: "Okay! You all heard that Li Hao, the general of Tiance Palace, has made such a vow. Please give me a testimony. The emperor and the prince will also witness it. If Li Hao returns in defeat, he will live in Qiongnan in this life and will never return to Chang'an!"

At this time, a voice in the crowd suddenly asked, "How can I be considered defeat?"

This immediately caused discussion among the public. Yes, what is the devastating defeat? This issue must be discussed. Otherwise, if they say it at that time, if there is no standard, this bet will be like a joke.

In order to protect Li Hao, Li Zhi said: "Since ancient times, it is easy to defend the city and it is difficult to attack the city. Li Hao is the attacking side, so this battle is naturally difficult to fight. I suggest that if Li Hao kills more enemies than the number of self-destruction, it will not be considered defeat."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is such a bad word!" Changsun Wuji said loudly, "My Tang army is invincible in the world, and Qinghai Guard is an elite army carefully cultivated by our Tang Dynasty. On the battlefield, one fights three, how can we judge this?"

Li Zhi had nothing to say when he was chasing Changsun Wuji. Li Shimin asked, "What does the auxiliary machine think is defeat?"

Changsun Wuji said: "If the number of enemies killed is less than three times the number of self-destruction, it will be considered defeat."

The palace was silent again. The standard mentioned by Changsun Wuji was really high. Even if the Tang army was elite, it would be really difficult to achieve such a record.

Li Shimin also felt that the standard was set a little high, and frowned and asked Li Hao: "Shima, what do you think?"

Li Hao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I accept it, but the candidates for the generals of the march must be chosen by me!"

"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded, "Who do you want to choose to accompany you to conquer Tubo?"

Li Hao said: "I will choose Fan Lihua as the deputy general manager of the march, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi as the general manager of the march, and Qinghai Guard General Peng Hai and Dali Temple Minister Di Renjie were also supervised to transport grain and grass."

There was no problem with the ones ahead, but when they talked about Di Renjie, everyone's expressions instantly lit up. Di Renjie was also confused. He had never fought a war, so why did they choose him too.

Li Shimin said in surprise: "Di Renjie is a minister of Dali Temple. If he is not engaged in military affairs, how can he let him supervise the transportation of food and grass?"

Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, since Di Renjie has Wusan, he is considered a military general. It is okay to let him supervise the transportation of food and grass. Besides, with Peng Hai by his side, there will be no mistakes."

Seeing that he insisted, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, I agree with all these."

Xue Rengui winked at Li Hao anxiously, and he wanted to go, after all, Li Hao was his good brother, and he also wanted to help Li Hao, but Li Hao just didn't choose him. After all, Xue Rengui was defeated by Gar Qinling in history. He was afraid that history would have inertia, so he did not let Xue Rengui go, but chose Fan Lihua. In terms of strength, Fan Lihua was never inferior to Xue Rengui.

At this time, Changsun Wuji suddenly said, "Since Li Hao has chosen his favorite general, Your Majesty, I will recommend a central army supervisor, so as not to falsely report the situation of the war."

Li Shimin asked casually: "Who do you want to recommend auxiliary machine?"

Changsun Wuji said: "I recommend Xu Jingzong, the Minister of Rites."

When Li Hao heard the name of Xu Jingzong, he frowned. This person was still a little famous in history, but this reputation was not a good reputation. This person's career in the first half of his life was bumpy, but later, because he supported Wu Meiniang's career as the queen, he became a successful official. In the end, he became the most powerful minister. To put it bluntly, he was Wu Meiniang's minion.

"Where is Xu Jingzong?" Li Shimin shouted, and a middle-aged man with gray hair walked out from behind the civil service team. He saw his face as jade as a crown and was born in a central and solemn manner. Although he was over fifty years old, he did not look old because he was good at health preservation, and he didn't even look wrinkles on his face.

Xu Jingzong really has a good face, which makes people feel close when they see it. It can be seen that he was a rare handsome man when he was young, and he was the kind of man and woman who killed each other.

Xu Jingzong came out to salute: "My minister Xu Jingzong is here!"

Xu Jingzong's official position was too low and he could only attend the grand dynasty meeting. He was absolutely not qualified to attend the small dynasty meeting. Li Hao did not attend the court meeting many times, and he participated in even fewer major dynasty meetings. So this is the first time I met Xu Jingzong today.

"You are Xu Jingzong." Li Shimin looked at him and nodded, obviously he was quite satisfied with Xu Jingzong's sales.

Li Shimin thought that Changsun Wuji would send an important minister in the court to serve as a military supervisor to cause trouble for Li Hao, but he didn't expect to send a small minister of the Ministry of Rites. Seeing that Xu Jingzong was quite decent and his official position was not high, he should not cause any trouble to Li Hao, so he asked the others: "Auxiliary machine recommends Xu Jingzong as a military supervisor. Do you have any objections?"

All the ministers said nothing. They were similar to Li Shimin's idea. They all thought that Xu Jingzong looked quite upright and was confused by Xu Jingzong's appearance. Xu Jingzong's appearance was really good.

Li Hao actually didn't like Xu Jingzong as a military supervisor, but he did not object, because the military supervisor was to supervise the marching chief to prevent the situation of self-respecting the army. Today, he finally tried to get the opportunity to send troops. If he opposed Xu Jingzong as a military supervisor at this moment, Changsun Wuji would definitely take advantage of the situation and say that he was hiding evil intentions, there might be changes at that time.

Seeing that no one objected, Li Shimin said, "Okay, since all the officials have no objection, then the Central Army Supervisor will decide Xu Jingzong!"

Next, the monarch and ministers began to discuss detailed military plans, and finally decided to be the general manager of the Luxury Road marching, Fan Lihua was the deputy general manager of the Luxury Road marching, Qin Huaiyu was the general manager of the Pibo Road marching, Cheng Chuliang was the general manager of the Motuo Road marching, Cheng Chubi was the general manager of the Paluo Road, and Zheng Chubi was the general manager of the Paluo Road. He was the general manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General

This grand ceremony lasted until noon.

After leaving the Zhuque Gate, Li Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it was not easy to win over the military service. Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and Qin Qiong called Li Hao outside the Zhuque Gate. Li Hao turned around and bowed to them: "Three uncles."

"Forget it, forgot." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand impatiently and said with a bad look, "You really dare to fight, you actually made such a vow in the palace."

"Yes." Li Ji said with concern, "Poetry maniac, I know you have a talent for strategy, but you also know that on the battlefield, information changes all the time. Sometimes, fighting requires great luck. No matter how heroic a person is and has extraordinary strategies, if he leaves luck, he will be unable to turn things around. It is October now, and winter will soon begin. The winter in Tubo is very cold..."

"I know what Uncle Li means," Li Hao nodded, "But Tubo will fight sooner or later. I, the Tang Dynasty, have been passively defending and have not yet walked on the snowy plateau. As for the cold weather, don't be afraid. Qinghai Guard has received cold resistance training, and I will also prepare cold-resistant materials for Qinghai Guard."

Seeing him say this, Li Ji could only sigh helplessly, and his fears increased instead of reducing.

Although Qin Qiong was also worried about Li Hao, he did not think so much like Li Ji. He just patted Li Hao on the shoulder hard and said, "Shi Kuang, if you return from a great victory, your uncle will serve you to celebrate your achievements. If you really fulfill your promise, your uncle will accompany you to Qiongnan for retirement!"

Li Hao grinned and bowed to them again: "Thank you for your concern, uncle."

After a few more greetings, the three old countries announced their farewell and left. Di Renjie happened to leave. When he saw Li Hao, he walked towards him. As soon as he met, Di Renjie smiled bitterly and said, "Shi Kuang, you have harmed Di."

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, when will I harm you?"

"I still say no." Di Renjie said, "You know that the army is going to take the food and grass before it moves. Food and grass are crucial for a military. If you ask me, a person who doesn't know anything, to supervise the transportation of food and grass, I really don't know what you think."

Li Hao suddenly put away his smile and said solemnly: "It is precisely because food and grass are extremely important that I ask you to supervise the transportation, because I can trust you."

Hearing this sentence, Di Renjie couldn't help but laugh and turn from a stern smile. He could feel the sincerity of Li Hao's words. Li Hao trusted him, his character, and his abilities.

"Huaiying, you will definitely not disappoint me, right?" Li Hao looked at him "strengthly".

Di Renjie bowed solemnly: "Don't worry, King Qiongnan, Di Huaiying will definitely not disappoint you!"

Li Hao nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have experienced the Battle of Youzhou with me and have already understood the battlefield. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Qinghai General Peng Hai. Peng Hai is my good friend. He is very real and easy to get along with."

"Thank you for your advice from King Qiongnan." Di Renjie smiled and bowed, then suddenly turned his mind and asked, "Prince, I want to ask you, are you really only 50% sure of conquering Tubo?"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "If I say I am 100% sure, do you believe it?"

Di Renjie said without hesitation: "Originally believe!"
