If we don't let them sit down, do they really have to go through with A?
joke.
As time goes by, night covers the earth, and candlelight illuminates the Liangyi Hall.
The generals expressed their ideas one after another for nearly three hours. Li Zhiyun was not impatient at all. He listened carefully to everyone's ideas and then discussed with everyone whether it was feasible.
Not surprisingly, Qin Qiong, Su Lie, Xu Shiji and others have said more desirable things than reckless men such as Cheng Yaojin.
Until late at night, when everyone was tired and hungry, it was Li Jing's turn.
At this time, although everyone was very tired, their spirits were very high.
Li Jing said unhurriedly: "The grassland is vast and sparsely populated. Although we have Turkic slaves leading the way, it is difficult to win completely if we fight together. Therefore, from the perspective of the following officials, we should choose three armies, forming an umbrella shape.
The power of the grassland was completely cut off.
The first one, headed by You and Ying prefectures, started from the Yanshan Mountains and forced Jieli to withdraw to the west to contain the major Turkic tribes in the east.
Second, the troops marched out of Jiuyuan and joined forces with Xue Yantuo to cut off his tail and tail, making it difficult to see the head and tail.
Third, the Chinese army is stationed in Shuozhou. Once the troops are up and running, they will immediately march up the Baidao. The three armies will gather together and attack Yinshan directly to break the Turkic king's tent!
Based on this, I believe that the march can be arranged in order..."
It has to be said that Li Jing's reputation as a great leader in history is not unreasonable. After analyzing the situation and deploying troops and horses, it sounds extremely reasonable.
Half an hour later, Li Jing took a sip of tea and said: "Based on this, I feel that the Turks can be defeated and Jieli captured within six months."
Li Zhiyun nodded and immediately asked: "What do you think?"
The generals looked at each other, and no one objected.
Immediately, Li Zhiyun said: "The armies of the three routes are too small. I will accomplish all my achievements in one battle! We should divide them into six routes, with an army of 300,000, to capture the Turks!"
His bottom line of troops is 400,000, and an army of 300,000 can be used.
"Generals, obey the order!"
"The last general will listen to the holy teachings." All the generals knelt on one knee.
Li Zhiyun announced: "Qin Qiong is the commander-in-chief of the march on Lingzhou Road, and Niu Jinda is his deputy, with 30,000 troops and horses under his command. Xu Shiji is the commander-in-chief of the march on Shengzhou Road, and Xue Wanshu is his deputy, with 20,000 troops and horses under his command.
Yuchigong is the chief commander of the march on Yunzhou Road, and Cheng Mingzhen is his deputy, with 30,000 troops and horses under his command. Su Lie is the chief marcher on Lingqiu Road, and Gao Yaxian is his deputy, with 20,000 troops and horses under his command."
At this point, Li Zhiyun paused and looked at Li Jing, "Li Jing will be the commander-in-chief of the march to Hedong Road, and Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin will be the commander-in-chief of the camp. They will have 100,000 troops in charge. They will assist Li Jing and sit in Shuozhou to command the entire army!
Order, Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Youzhou, and Xie Shufang, the governor of Yingzhou, each raise 50,000 troops and obey Li Jing's dispatch."
"The general will wait and obey the order!"
After Li Zhiyun finished speaking, he added: "King Jing, King Xu, King Chu, Duke Huo, listen to your orders."
"Here." Chai Shao and others clasped their fists.
Li Zhiyun said: "The citizens of each state are mobilized and the grain and grass are transferred to the four people. We must make sure that the grain and grass move smoothly."
"According to the order!"
In this battle, Li Zhiyun was determined to win and entrusted all the generals with important tasks.
Raise an army of 300,000 and destroy the Turks in the north!
However, in fact, there were only 250,000 troops in the pass, and the other 50,000 troops belonged to the local armies of Youzhou and Yingzhou.
At this point, the temple’s planning comes to an end.
At this moment, Li Zhen walked into the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, His Majesty Jinyang ordered someone to cook some meals and deliver them."
Jinyang?
Li Zhiyun was stunned at first, and then said happily: "Look, my daughter is still considerate. Let Jinyang come in quickly."
"yes."
Not long after, Bao Niang led a group of palace maids to deliver meals to the generals.
After staying up all night, being tired all night, and having their brains racing all night long, everyone was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they picked up their meals and ate them to their heart's content.
Li Zhiyun watched distressedly as his sensible daughter brought him food, and picked her up, "My son, why don't you go to bed early? Who asked you to come?"
Jinyang's eyes rolled, he touched Li Zhiyun's ears and whispered: "I got into trouble earlier, and my mother-in-law was angry. Yeah, they feed you, you have to help them, don't let my mother-in-law ground your daughter."
OK."
The little guy acted coquettishly, which made Li Zhiyun feel distressed.
"How did you get into trouble?"
"Well..." She pouted and told her about running around in the palace. After listening, Li Zhiyun couldn't help laughing.
His precious daughter couldn't sit still, even in the palace. She liked to run around. For this reason, the queen had taught her many times.
Unexpectedly, this little guy couldn't help it.
Li Zhiyun guessed that the queen must have asked her to come here. After all, the queen was pregnant and sleepy, so she could not prepare these things for him personally.
This little guy will take advantage of the opportunity to act.
"I won't do it next time. I'll help you this time."
"Thank you, Father."
Snap.
The little guy happily kissed the emperor.
The generals who saw this scene all showed kind smiles.
After everyone has finished eating.
Qin Qiong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, His Highness Jinyang, for the food."
Bao Niang was looking at the map curiously, and when she heard Qin Qiong talking, she greeted the generals with a graceful greeting.
"Uncles and uncles are all great contributors to our dynasty. Jinyang is just a small force and not worth mentioning. My father often said that in front of all uncles and uncles, Jinyang should be the one who holds the courtesy of a junior. Please don't be too polite to Uncle Qin."
What a sensible Princess Jinyang!
Smiles appeared on the faces of all the generals. The generals who followed the emperor earlier could be said to have watched the emperor's children grow up, and their hearts were even more happy and warm.
Since Li Zhiyun's imperial edict was issued, the war machine has been operating rapidly. Among them, even Li Daozong and others who are responsible for the transportation of grain and grass do not dare to be careless.
In this war related to the destiny of the country, every aspect is very important, and no one dares to be careless.
Li Daoxuan wanted to go directly to the front line to kill, but Li Zhiyun told him that controlling food and grass was more important.
After hearing the emperor's words, Li Daoxuan understood instantly.
Every day thereafter, the six prime ministers, six ministers, major generals, and nine temples assisted the emperor in discussing day and night around the decision to attack the Turks.
Finally, at the end of March, all the details were finalized.
In April of the ninth year of Taketoku, Emperor Li Zhiyun worshiped the leader of the army, and the gods from all directions officially announced that the Tang Dynasty was at war with the Turks!
The commander-in-chief is Li Jing, the Minister of War and the March Commander of Hedong Road!
This name may not be loud enough among the people, but the generals in the army actually knew in their hearts that Li Jing was the real hero of pacifying the south. Moreover, his calculations in Liangyi Palace also convinced the generals.
Coupled with the emperor's trust, the generals would not question him.
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Yue.
Qin Qiong wiped his mace over and over again in the room, very carefully. His long-range weapon was the horse, but once he was fighting with the enemy in close combat, he preferred to use his mace.
After wiping it, he handed his maces to the soldiers, then pushed the door open and walked out.
Qin Huaiyu stood not far away. When he saw his father coming out, he quickly walked over.
"Sir, I want to go too!"
"You?" Qin Qiong smiled happily and touched his little head, "When you grow up and your martial arts skills are recognized by me, then go ahead."
Mrs. Qin stepped forward and said worriedly: "Husband, you must be careful when you go here."
"Don't worry, madam, we will definitely annihilate the Turks this time!" Qin Qiong stretched out his hand to hug his wife, and then said to Qin Huaiyu: "Son, I am on an expedition. You must be filial and obedient, and you must not make your mother angry. Do you understand?"
"My child knows, don't worry, adults."
Qin Qiong nodded and strode out with his soldiers.
This scene, today, is similar to the generals' mansions in Chang'an.
