On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month of the third year of Yifeng in the Tang Dynasty, it was in the west camp of Chang'an City.
Li Xian stood high on the general stage, holding a sword in one hand and a fish charm in the other, looking down at the stage with a solemn expression.
The 80,000-strong army was all in solemn order. No one dared to make a sound. They all looked at Li Xian on the stage quietly, with deep awe in their eyes!
Standing on the stage was their commander-in-chief of the armed forces, a man they were deeply grateful and admired. In the first few days, their commander-in-chief issued an order that all those with family difficulties would receive a compensation. According to estimates, only
This expenditure has reached millions of dollars, and all of these millions of dollars were paid by Li Xian out of his own pocket!
This commander-in-chief not only loved his soldiers like his sons, but also cared so much about the families of these soldiers, so that their families did not have any worries in their lives. Under such circumstances, if they did not work hard, how could they be worthy of the commander-in-chief?
affection?
The north wind was strong and the cold wind was still biting. Li Xian, who was standing on the general stage, was wearing silver armor and said in a loud voice: "My fellow soldiers, the smoke is rising. The Tubo thieves do not care about God's grace, but they use their weapons without permission to plot against our territory of the Tang Dynasty."
, Nowadays, thieves are roaming the western frontier, and hundreds of thousands of people are suffering from the war. As a member of the Tang Dynasty, how can we sit back and watch our compatriots be captured by thieves? Today, I have been ordered by the emperor to lead 100,000 heavenly troops to the western frontier.
I swear to protect the land, protect the people, and kill the stubborn enemies, so that the western border of the Tang Dynasty will be stable. The thieves dare not look at each other, not to mention the dignified men. I should sacrifice my life and kill the enemy bravely to make an immortal contribution and seek a new life.
Beheading a general and making him a prince will bring you great wealth and honor. I hereby promise you that this battle will truthfully record your military achievements. No one will seize the false leader's military merits. Any general who dares to seize the false leader's military merits will never be found.
, no matter what position they hold, they will all be executed without mercy. The same is true for food and supplies. I hereby assure you that all the soldiers fought bloody battles and will never allow anyone to bully you, not even your superiors."
"mighty!"
"Long live!"
After all the soldiers heard Li Xian's assurance, their blood immediately boiled, and they immediately roared loudly, expressing the excitement in their hearts with these roars.
In the previous battles, there were too many cases where their military merits were usurped by their superiors. If they killed five people, it would be good to have them reported one by one. In addition, under the government military system, those who sent troops to fight were
They all prepare their own weapons and equipment, and a lot of their land at home has been usurped by local tyrants, so these weapons and equipment have become a huge burden for them. Under such circumstances, their fighting enthusiasm is actually not high. Now
Well, Li Xian not only paid for them to solve their family worries, but also promised that no one would take the military merits. In this way, after returning from the battle, as long as he kills an enemy, he can get several acres of land. Even if there is no land, it can be converted into money.
Silk, and if you kill too many people and perform meritorious service, you may be promoted to a higher position, so this war can be said to be a great opportunity for them to seek wealth.
Under such circumstances, improving morale is naturally inevitable!
Gaozong, who was watching the march of the army on the side, saw this scene, nodded immediately, and said with a smile: "Okay, my son is indeed capable of commanding the army. I have seen off the soldiers many times, only when Duke Wei and Duke Ying went on the expedition."
At that time, the morale could be so high. From this point of view, my son is indeed comparable to the two military gods of the Tang Dynasty. Haha, I believe that I will not be disappointed this time when I go to fight against Tibet."
But he heard Hao Chujun on the side praising: "This is because the tiger father has no dog son, and only Your Majesty has cultivated such a military god of the Tang Dynasty. The ministers are also quite knowledgeable in military matters, but this can be compared to the king of Zhou." It's too far behind. I believe that as long as the King of Zhou is here, the Garqin Mausoleum will never be taken advantage of. Haha, His Majesty has a prince beside him, who is benevolent, filial and brotherly, possessing both ability and political integrity. In addition, the King of Zhou will help your Majesty to settle down the country. "Besides, these two princes are His Majesty's right-hand men. They are really enviable to others. If compared to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Zhou, my dog should be thrown into the street."
Hearing this, Emperor Gaozong was very proud. He immediately laughed and said: "Ai Qing, what you said is true. I, the two princes, are civilized and military. Their civility can bring stability to the country, and their military strength can rule the country. They are really my right-hand man. With this, With the two princes here, I really have no worries. However, Aiqing's son is not as bad as you said. But I heard that your grandson Xiangxian has been smart and studious since he was a child, and his future achievements may not be lower than Aiqing's. "
"Haha, although my grandson Xiangxian is smart and studious, he has lived a smooth life since he was a child and has not suffered many hardships. It may not be easy to achieve a career. My grandson, Sunchen, knows this. Your Majesty is really flattering. ." Hao Chujun's words seemed to be modest, but they also contained true thoughts in his heart, and he sighed silently.
Li Xian, who was standing on the general stage, naturally didn't know what the monarch and his ministers were talking about. He was busy announcing military discipline, and then read aloud the proclamation for the expedition. This proclamation was written by Lu Zhaolin. The book is written by a famous writer. It reads with majestic spirit and high literary talent. It not only shows the justice of the Tang Dynasty, but also rebukes Tubo's treachery and points out the injustice of its rash war. It is so amazing that even Emperor Gaozong was amazed after hearing it. He couldn't help nodding his head frequently and ordered someone to ask Li Xian about the author of this appeal. Later, he found out that it was Lu Zhaolin, so he discussed with Hao Chujun and promoted Lu Zhaolin to Zhongshu Sheren.
Li Xian never thought that he just borrowed Lu Zhaolin's hand to write such an appeal, and unintentionally made Lu Zhaolin a success, and that Lu Zhaolin was directly promoted from a small ninth-grade school clerk to a Zhongshu Sheren, who is on the fifth level, has risen like a rocket, rising directly to sixteen levels! Although this speed cannot be said to be unique, it has definitely created a legendary figure!
It is said that when Empress Wu heard the news later, she wanted to object but was powerless. After all, Hao Chujun, Dai Zhide, Zhang Wenguan, Liu Rengui and others in the court unanimously agreed. The quantity and quality of the prime ministers in her hands could not be compared with it. Later Empress Wu He was trying to find a way to deal with Lu Zhaolin, but he was protected by Hao Chujun. In addition, Lu Zhaolin was an upright and upright man, so he had no way of doing it.
However, Li Xian announced military discipline and recited mottos with a serious face, but no matter how high-pitched his voice was, it would be difficult for 80,000 people to hear it at the same time. Naturally, there would be a formation of dozens of people below to repeat his words. As soon as the words were spread out, this squadron had obviously practiced these words well, otherwise they would never shout out together as soon as Li Xian finished speaking.
Li Xian expressed great satisfaction with the state of the soldiers. At the end, he solemnly uttered the oath of this battle: "With my blood, I will protect the Tang Dynasty; if you attack the Tang Dynasty, you will be killed no matter how far away!" In this battle, the robbers will bow their heads and the thieves will surrender; in this battle, the territory will be recovered and the gangsters will be wiped out; the ambition will be to eat the meat of the Huns and laugh and drink the blood of the Huns! The yellow sand will wear golden armor in a hundred battles and will not break Loulan. I will never pay it back!"
These oaths are like knives, deeply engraved in the hearts of the soldiers, making their blood boil with passion, their blood flowing, their bodies feeling fearless, and their heroic spirit soaring into the sky!
This is an army of justice!
This is a tiger and wolf army!
This is a winning force!
Everyone will use their passion, their loyalty, their sacrifice of life and death to perform a great victory, compose a miracle, and create a legend. Such an army, both in terms of cohesion and combat effectiveness, will be able to achieve great success.
Definitely the pinnacle, no one can shake their confidence and determination, and no one will doubt that they will win in the end!
"Haha, okay. Even when Duke Wei and Duke Ying took the oath to fight, they were never as heroic and passionate as they are today. They had great ambitions to eat the meat of Huns, and laughed and talked about drinking the blood of Huns. Such heroic words,
It is really very agreeable. I will wear golden armor in a hundred battles on the yellow sand, and I will never return it if I don't break Loulan. Such determination and courage are even more exciting and applauding. I believe that after Xian'er took this oath, these 80,000 soldiers will be 80,000.
Tigers and wolves, they will use their fearlessness and bravery to make the Tibetan traitors tremble. This is the style of my Tang Dynasty man and the revival of my Tang Dynasty’s martial spirit!"
This time, not only the generals, but also Emperor Gaozong became enthusiastic and heroic after hearing Li Xian's oath, as if he himself had joined the ranks and fought bravely to kill the enemy.
Gaozong was originally a literary youth with rich personal emotions, so his personal emotions were naturally easily aroused. After being exaggerated by Li Xian, his emotions naturally became high, and he had the emotion mentioned above.
Hao Chujun on the side also lost no time in praising Li Xian and everyone: "The King of Zhou is indeed full of pride, which makes people unable to help but feel passionate and full of passion. Under such circumstances, the soldiers will definitely kill the enemy and serve the country with blood.
, it seems that the ministers all have the urge to raise their troops and go to the battlefield again. In addition, the few lines of the poems written by the King of Zhou are really wonderful. The ambition is to eat the meat of the Huns when they are hungry, and they are laughing and talking about drinking the blood of the Huns, etc.
He is so heroic and graceful, it is really heartbreaking. He wears golden armor in a hundred battles on the yellow sand, and will never return it until Loulan is broken. Such determination and courage are really desirable. Haha, Your Majesty, it is not that a humble minister should put aside his lofty words and prepare for you in advance.
Your Majesty congratulates on this great victory. We believe that after this battle, we can at least ensure that Tibet will not dare to invade our borders again for ten years!"
At this time, Li Xian still didn't pay attention to the conversation between the monarch and his ministers. After he successfully channeled all the passions of everyone, he immediately said: "Now I am announcing that the army will set off immediately and guarantee to arrive at Shancheng City within two months.
, all officers and men must not neglect, must move forward at full speed, must not give orders, must not stop even half a step!" (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
