Yao Chongzheng was very talented, and he would lead people to govern, and there would be no problem. However, as the prime minister, he had to stay in the country and take charge of the center, so the governance matter would naturally fall on Song Jing.

Song Jing was not only upright, but also had extraordinary talents. He was also rich in experience in governing foreign lands such as Tubo and Tianzhu. No one would object to the matter if he took the lead in governing.

"Don't worry, leave the governance matter to Song Jing." Wu Zetian nodded very appreciatively and said, "But this governance matter is too complicated and you have to arrange some talented people for Song Jing, otherwise Song Jing would be exhausted."

"The Holy Queen is wise!" Everyone agreed with Wu Zetian's statement.

If the troops were successfully sent to attack the Arab Empire, the Tang Dynasty would have expanded thousands of miles. Moreover, this ten thousand miles was not as wide as a land like Tubo, and there were many people here, so it is conceivable that there were so many government affairs that needed to be handled. Even if Song Jing was powerful, he would not have finished these things. He needed to provide him with some capable people to help him.

"Let's do it." Li Longji nodded and said, "Except Yao Chong, Zhang Shuo, Zhong Shaojing, can't move, the rest of the people, Song Jing, whoever you like, will pick them away."

Li Longji opened the door to convenience for Song Jing, and let him choose people.

Yao Chong is the prime minister and must be in charge of the center, so he must not be selected. Zhang said that he would lead the troops to fight, but he could not be selected either. As for Zhong Shaojing, he would temporarily take over the position of Minister of War, but he could not be selected, because as soon as the war began, there would be many military affairs that needed to be handled, and the Ministry of War must have a capable person in charge.

"Your Majesty, can you transfer Han Xiu?" Song Jing pondered slightly and said, "It is best for Zhang Jiuling to come. But Tianzhu also needs one person to take charge. Just transfer Han Xiu. With Li Yuanfu and Zhang Jiazhen and others to help, it should be fine."

Tianzhu was the most important source of food and grass for the expedition to the west. Before the Tang Dynasty captured Samarkand, the Tang army's food and grass had to be transported from Tianzhu, and a capable person had to be in charge. Zhang Jiuling and Han Xiu had to leave one. Among the two, it seemed more appropriate for Zhang Jiuling to stay.

"Okay!" Li Longji nodded appreciatingly and said, "Song Jing stands high and sees far. He has a big picture and can look at the problem from the overall picture, which is great!"

The governance matter is very complicated and requires a lot of people. If it is a different person, it is likely that even Zhang Jiuling will be asked. Song Jing did not do so, and he deserves this praise.

"After Zhang said that he would leave, Zhong Shaojing will be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War." Li Longji said to Zhong Shaojing.

"Abide by the order." Zhong Shaojing temporarily took charge of the Ministry of War. This is something that everyone hopes for, and the ministers will not object. Zhong Shaojing received the order.

"We have already discussed the general matter of defeating the Dashi. There are still specific matters, so what do you have to say, just come." Li Longji glanced at everyone and said.

Next, everyone discussed the specific dispatch of troops. Hundreds of thousands of troops were dispatched, and there were a lot of things to do. The discussion took several days before the discussion was completed.

"Your Majesty, this Western Expedition, we should select a group of people from the Military Academy to form an army, ask them to join the war and hone them." Wang Xiaojie said last.

"It should." Everyone agreed in unison.

Li Longji founded the Tang Dynasty Military Academy to cultivate military talents. If he could not allow these students to participate in the war in such a big battle, he would be a missed opportunity.

Good generals are fought on the battlefield, and only actual combat is the best training. It is a very wise decision to let these students participate in the battle.

"Wang Xiaojie, have you discovered the general?" Li Longji stared at Wang Xiaojie and asked.

"Your Majesty is wise. You discovered it before you even said it." Wang Xiaojie laughed before he could speak, saying, "In the Military Academy, I really found a handsome man."

"Shishou?" It's a handsome man, not a general man. The ministers' interest increased greatly, and their eyes widened, staring at Wang Xiaojie.

Wang Xiaojie was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He fought all his life and had a very high vision. It was difficult for idle people to catch his eyes. He was praised as a handsome talent and must be an extraordinary person.

"He is Zhang Shougui." Wang Xiaojie said with a smile.

"Famous general of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Longji was shocked and immediately became extremely happy.

Zhang Shougui was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He had great military achievements and made great military achievements for the Tang Dynasty and left his name in history. Today, Zhang Shougui is very young, but in his twenties. With him, he appeared, which means that the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty would not be "distant" like the Wu Zetian period, but were passed down from generation to generation.

"This person is very smart, quick-witted, and has his own unique features in military affairs." Wang Xiaojie said with a smile: "I have given him guidance. As long as I have time to let him practice and be able to stand alone."

Zhang Shougui became Wang Xiaojie's disciple and obtained Wang Xiaojie's military strategy. Zhang Shougui was extremely talented and would definitely shine.

"Now I have only discovered one Zhang Shougui. It won't be long before famous Tang generals such as Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Wang Zhongsi, Geshuhan, and Gao Xianzhi will appear one by one. By then, the Tang Dynasty will reach its peak and there will be no shortage of generals." Li Longji was very happy.

Today, some of Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Wang Zhongsi, Geshuhan, Gao Xianzhi are still very young, and some are not born yet. As long as these famous generals appear and the Tang Military Academy is trained, there will be a large number of famous generals in the Tang Dynasty. It is difficult to achieve success if they do not reach their peak.

After the discussion was completed, Li Longji said: "The army is about to be mobilized, and Zhang said that he should lead the generals into the Western Regions first and prepare for the war."

"Abide by the order." Zhang said that they received the order.

There are many things that need to be dealt with when hundreds of thousands of troops are mobilized. Zhang said that they will enter the Western Regions first and prepare for war, which is what they should do.

Zhang said that they had handed over what they had done, and the generals rushed to the Western Regions under Zhang Shuo's leadership.

Li Longji led all the ministers to see him off and left until he broke the willows on the Ba River.

"The generals have gone to the Western Regions, and the army has begun to mobilize." With Li Longji's order, the army began to rush to the Western Regions.

A series of passionate songs have emerged throughout the country.

"Brothers: You already know that since the beginning of His Majesty's ascension to the throne five years ago, the Tang Dynasty has been preparing to defeat the Dashi and fulfill the uncontested wish of Emperor Taizong. Today, Your Majesty finally issued an order to rush to the Western Regions and defeat the Dashi. Are you willing to join the war?" A captain shouted to the gathered Tang army.

"Will!" The soldiers burst into shocking roars.

As early as sixty years ago, before the Persian Empire was destroyed, people were sent to Chang'an to request the Tang Dynasty to send troops. Emperor Taizong of Tang considered that the conditions at that time were not met and the Western Turks were not destroyed, and the Tang army could not enter Persia through the Western Regions, so he had to refuse to send troops on the grounds of a long journey. This gave the Arab Empire a chance. After destroying Persia, the Arab Empire's strength soared and advanced eastward. He wanted to fight the Tang Dynasty and enslave China.

The refusal of Emperor Taizong of Tang to send troops was not only a regret of Emperor Taizong of Tang, but also a regret of the Tang people. Now, they can finally make up for this regret and defeat the Arab Empire. How can they not be happy?

"I want to tell you: This battle will be fought thousands of miles away from a foreign land. It will be very hard. There is a huge danger and it is likely to be buried in a foreign land. Are they afraid?" The captain continued to speak.

"Not afraid!"

"I'm afraid, I'm not a good man in the Tang Dynasty!"

"The good men in the Tang Dynasty are not afraid!"

The soldiers burst into shocking roars, like thunder.

"Very good! He is worthy of being a good man in the Tang Dynasty!" The captain was very pleased and said, "I didn't tell you that I had followed His Majesty to participate in the battle to destroy Tubo, pacify India, conquer Pakistan and Afghanistan, and even cut off the third level of the big-food dog head in Kabul."

The captain was extremely proud, with a red face, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, the louder and louder he spoke.

Li Longji destroyed Tubo, pacified India, conquered Pakistan and Afghanistan, and defeated Gu Taibai. This was a series of brilliant victories, which had long been known to the Tang people. It was extremely proud of anyone to be able to participate in this battle in person.

"Sir, can you tell us?"

"Yes. Sir, tell us about your heroic deeds."

The soldiers looked admiring and their eyes shining, and they wanted to hear his wonderful story immediately.

"Yes. We will tell you to know while marching." It is a great pleasure to tell others that they know this proud thing. Not to mention, it can also inspire morale in the army, so why not do it?

"Okay! OK! OK!" The soldiers were very happy.

With the command of the captain, the Tang army embarked on a journey and rushed to the Western Regions.

Such scenes continued to be staged everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, and Tang troops rushed to the Western Regions according to their established arrangements.

Teams of Tang troops drove westward and began to gather in the Hexi Corridor, causing a big storm.

"Rumor!" A shocking sound came. The caravan heading east heard the sound of thunder, and their ears stood up and their eyes widened.

"What a sound? So loud."

"It seems like the sound of a large army advancing."

"The army is advancing? That's right! It's the army is advancing. It's the sound of hooves, the sound is staggered and neat, and this is a well-trained army."

"Why is this so big army appearing in the Hexi Corridor?"

"Can't it be that Datang is going to attack Dashi?"

"That's right! It must be like this! It must be like this!"

"That's great. The Tang Dynasty is about to defeat the Dashi! Let's go and reward the army!"

The merchants in this caravan had speculation and were very happy when they thought of the Tang Dynasty's attack on the Arab Emperor.

"Yes! Reward the army!"

The merchants quickly reached a consensus and took men and goods to welcome the Tang army.

A long dragon was seen rolling in from afar, with its stunning power.

"That's right! It's the Tang army! It's our army!"

"Haha! The Tang Dynasty is about to defeat Dashi! It is about to defeat Dashi!"

I had a guess before, but now it has been confirmed that they are smiling happily and can't close their mouths.

"What a mighty and majestic army!"

"Then you need to say it! Who said this is the kingly teacher of our Tang Dynasty!"

The merchant saw the Tang army's scrupulous formation, and was overjoyed and praised it.

"Rumor!" The Tang army arrived quickly, with thunderous hooves, passing by them quickly and advancing westward.

If you look from the air, you will see the entire Hexi Corridor, where Tang troops are moving in. Teams of Tang troops form a long dragon, rolling westward, without seeing its head in front and its tail in the back.
