The cabinet master likes Datang very much, not because he is superior here.
But there are battlefields here, real battlefields where you can keep fighting as long as you want, and the generals of the Tang Dynasty were full of fanaticism.
"Brother, I want to ask you for an official position!"
"Brother, I know what you want, Wu Lang. You should be given the title of Minister of Etiquette, Vice President of the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty, and President of the Military Academy." When Li Er was speaking, his eyes were fixed on the lively generals. He suddenly asked Li Yuanxing: "
Wulang, what do you think Hou Junji is thinking about?"
Li Yuanxing moved his eyes to Hou Junji. At this moment, Hou Junji was in the corner of the room, almost crawling on the ground. He was writing and drawing on the large paper spread out with a pen.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuanxing said: "Brother Emperor, Hou Junji is a good general. He is ambitious, but he is also a measured person. He knows under what circumstances he should not have ambitions. Also, there are some
His greed for money has also subsided in the past two years. The only thing I can't figure out is whether his heart is generous enough and whether he can treat all generals equally. Whether he will forget the differences between factions!"
Li Er nodded, but immediately said: "Wu Lang, what I'm asking is, what is Hou Junji thinking about?"
"The art of war, until you reach his level, you don't know how to take it one step further!"
"What is the highest state of the art of war?" Li Er asked again.
"There is a way to win without any tricks!" Li Yuanxing said nonsense.
Unexpectedly, Li Er nodded: "Yes, if Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of the Tang Dynasty, leads the army, any enemy general will be frightened when they hear Bai Qi, and they will panic and their strength will be greatly reduced." Wulang said
It’s so good, it’s so good that you can win without any tricks.”
Li Yuanxing laughed dryly and didn't answer any more.
In the blink of an eye, the second year of Zhenguan was only three days old, and Li Yuanxing's eldest son Li Mo was also two months and ten days old.
Whether they were in Yaozhou, Huazhou, or people in Qinwangzhuang in Chang'an City, they all returned to Zhuangzi one after another. Even the old wolf who was sent to Huating took the opportunity to escort New Year's gifts and returned to Qinwang with his wife and children.
village.
For Qinwangzhuang, this is a year of reunion.
"Is it the Chinese New Year?" Mr. Cabinet sat in the pavilion and looked at the flying snowflakes outside.
"Last year, I sent troops out during the Chinese New Year to prepare to deal with Goguryeo. Grandpa actually did the same thing this year, and many generals did not spend the New Year at home!" Li Yuanxing sat next to him and muttered.
"Is it the Chinese New Year?" the cabinet master said again.
"Yes, the Chinese New Year is in three days. This year, I will not go to Chang'an for the New Year. I will have a peaceful New Year at home!" Li Yuanxing replied.
The cabinet master knocked the cigarette butt: "I didn't drink Laba porridge this year!"
"There was no Laba porridge in the Tang Dynasty." Li Yuanxing reminded.
The cabinet master nodded. He knew that Laba porridge originated from the Song Dynasty, but the Laba porridge in the army had another meaning. It was to commemorate Yue Wumu of the Song Dynasty. In later generations, Laba porridge was used as "everyone's meal" in Henan.
The custom is to commemorate Yue Wumu.
"It won't work without Laba porridge." The cabinet master always felt regretful in his heart, just for that bowl of porridge.
If you want to eat porridge, you just need to ask the kitchen to cook it. But the cabinet master disagrees and insists on doing it yourself. He said that as a soldier, he must cook the porridge himself.
OK, let’s cook porridge.
Li Yuanxing and the cabinet master took off their robes and put on tight-fitting military uniforms. Li Yuanxing carried a basket. At first, the cabinet master went to the granary and specially cleaned the corners of the granary, especially in the empty warehouse.
The New Year is coming soon, and the entire Qin Wangzhuang is busy preparing for the New Year. There is no need for personal guards to follow and protect the village. There is no one around Li Yuanxing. Qiuxiang is still in the study for Li Yuanxing to organize all the things in the Tang Dynasty.
Information on promoting technological farming.
The cabinet master chose two personal followers beside him, both of whom were children of former Sui officials who were demoted as slaves.
The two young men aged 17 or 18 are very smart. The cabinet master has arranged some courses for them. They are studying books on document writing and working hard to practice calligraphy. In the future, the cabinet master can count on these two people to help him
Write forms and organize paperwork.
Therefore, these two people who are rarely free are ready to have a bowl of Laba porridge.
At the gatekeeper of Qinwangzhuang, a gorgeous carriage stopped at the door, and a small official handed him a greeting card. Li Shentong from Huainan Road, Feng An from Lingnan Road, and Dugu Ao from Hedong Road. Three feudal officials came to visit, and the gate guard hurriedly took the person away.
Welcome him in and ask someone to prepare hot tea.
Feng An smiled and said to Li Shentong: "His Royal Highness King Qin's place is really special. No matter whether the visitor is a Duke or a trafficker, he has never had the habit of asking people to wait in the concierge. They all come to the manor in the future, and a special reception room is set up.
Rest, as for where to meet, it depends on your status!"
Dugu Ao also said: "I haven't entered Chang'an for three years, and Chang'an has become unrecognizable. His Highness the King of Qin's wisdom has only been mentioned several times by my nephew, but he has never had the opportunity to comment on matters other than government affairs.
I’ve said it before. I’m going to resign after this year. He’s getting older and his mind is not as flexible as young people’s. Hedong Road will be managed by those who are capable!”
Dugu Ao's nephew is Dugu Xiude.
"Why doesn't Jing Zhaoyin come?" Li Shentong asked.
"He said that he came with Li Yaoshi and Qin Shubao, and that he still had some official business to deal with in the morning. Then Cheng Xiaozi said that he would have lunch at Qinwangzhuang, so it would definitely not be delayed past noon." Dugu Ao responded with a smile.
Several people entered the living room and drank a cup of tea until it was cold. Then they saw the servant of Prince Qin's palace running towards them in a hurry.
"Three distinguished guests, please sit down for a while. My Highness is not in the garden. I only heard that he went to the granary. We have sent people to look for him."
"Why don't we go find it directly!" Li Shentong suggested.
The three of them were all extremely noble people, and the petty official sent someone in front to lead the way to the granary.
In the Qinwangzhuang granary, a clerk was closing the door of an empty warehouse. Li Yuanxing was holding a basket and standing at the door with the cabinet master, counting. From a distance, he heard the cabinet master saying: "There are already four kinds of beans and two kinds of rice."
Yes, it’s impossible without red beans.”
"Uncle Emperor, Wu Lang, I'm so excited!" Li Shentong strode forward.
"What is this?" The three governors were puzzled.
Li Yuanxing did not expect that there would be guests, so he opened his mouth and made up a story while holding a basket: "My grandfather said that during the war, at the end of the year, it was freezing cold and there was no good food. So he swept the granary.
After a sweep, I found some food in the corner and pit, washed it, and cooked a bowl of porridge to celebrate the New Year."
Li Yuanxing said with a smile, but the cabinet master had a serious face: "I remember when Mr. Wu An personally cleaned the warehouse and cooked porridge for the soldiers. He had three purposes. One is to tell the young soldiers in the army that people should know how to be frugal. The other is to
In order to educate the army's sergeants, they should eat food from hundreds of families, and don't forget the kindness of the common people with one meal and one piece of clothing. Third, food from all directions is put together and boiled with rice in one pot, which means to unite all things and harmonize thousands of spirits."
Listening to what the cabinet master said seriously, the three governors are all leaders of troops.
After careful consideration, I agree with everything.
Qinwangzhuang started with King Qin, Emperor Xian sweeping the warehouse, and then three governors. By noon, there were more than a dozen generals in the second rank of the Tang Dynasty, and dozens of generals in the third and fourth ranks.
From Li Yuanxing carrying a small basket, to several younger generals carrying large baskets.
From cleaning the warehouse and directly loading the grain, to selecting the most exquisite materials for Laba porridge, and finally even loading a basket with Li Yuanxing's rock candy.
At the training ground, a dozen three-foot-diameter marching cauldrons were set up.
In the snow, they set up a shed and gathered around the marching cauldron arranged in a circle, drinking wine and eating meat. They took turns taking care of the porridge in the cauldron.
From noon to afternoon, the aroma of the porridge floated several miles away with the wind.
After drinking wine and eating meat all afternoon, this porridge is finally good.
The cabinet master naturally took the first bowl, and the second bowl was given to Dugu Ao, the oldest one besides the cabinet master.
After taking a mouthful of porridge, Dugu Ao had a thoughtful expression. This expression surprised many people. Maybe the porridge was weird, the porridge was mushy, or there was something wrong with it.
"This taste is really extraordinary. Think about it, when you go out to fight, this bowl of porridge may be a reflection of joining the army. The food in this bowl comes from all over the world, and the people around you come from the same way. There are very few people from the same village. Besides, the food
, It would be nice for a soldier to have a hot meal, put all the miscellaneous things in a bowl, this thing..." Dugu Ao seemed to be stuck in a certain kind of memory, perhaps thinking about the days when he was a young soldier.
The cabinet master took a sip of the porridge and said, "This porridge is called Qibao and Five Flavors Porridge!"
"Okay, what a Qibao five-flavor porridge!" Dugu Ao drank the porridge in the bowl in one big gulp and stretched the bowl forward: "One more bowl!"
All the generals gathered around the big pot with their bowls, making and eating it by themselves. The porridge seemed to taste surprisingly good. The most important thing was the fun.
After drinking porridge, those who returned to Chang'an returned to Chang'an and went to the back hall to discuss matters.
The cabinet master called Hou Junji alone to make some more details on the plan to attack Goguryeo. The cabinet master used troops for the first time, and he had to create a prestige if he wanted to attack.
Li Yuanxing came to the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zhao was in the Tang Dynasty. Until now, the cabinet master, and Li Lanshan. What really gained a foothold in the Tang Dynasty was not pretending to be a ghost, and then the immortal descended to earth. The foundation was based on true ability. Li Yuanxing had real ability, and Wu Zhao
Yes. As a woman, Li Lanshan has a real ability to promote agriculture.
The cabinet master's strongest talent is military strategy.
Master Cabinet has convinced the generals of the Tang Dynasty in terms of military theory, but what about the real battlefield? Master Cabinet wants to squeeze out all the combat power of the Tang army and let the world know that the real war is not about numbers, but about strategy.
, compared to tactics, compared to ordnance, and compared to the quality of the army.
Hou Junji set out on the seventh day of the first lunar month in the third year of Zhenguan. It can be said that the expedition was not over before the New Year was over.
Hou Junji also worked hard. This was his first battle as Minister of War, and also his first time as Marshal of the Army. For Hou Junji, this battle was a life and death battle in his military career.
. Complete victory, he has established a firm foothold in the Tang Dynasty War Department, but if the victory is small, or the victory is not easy, then he has only one way to resign. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated.
