What kind of general, what kind of soldiers will be brought out.

What kind of monarch will bring out what kind of kingdom.

And is Li Shimin the kind of person who will stop living?

Throughout his career since his debut until he became emperor, he was either fighting or preparing for war.

Therefore, the state situation in the early days of the Tang Dynasty was almost no different from that of a war machine.

As long as Li Shimin gives the order, the whole country will start to function and support the war on the front.

For example, this time.

Domestic grain, grass, weapons, and money and materials are all continuously transported to the north.

Li Chengqian's current job is to transport the money to the front line after the weapons and grain and grass materials are reasonably distributed.

On the front line, 100,000 Tang soldiers launched attacks on the Xi people from the east and south.

Although the Xi clan has made corresponding preparations, the combat power of the Tang Dynasty is definitely not something they can resist.

However, on the fifth day, the defense line composed of more than 10,000 people in the eastern part of the Xi nationality was torn open by the Liangzhou soldiers led by Li Xiaogong, and the soldiers pointed directly at the king tent of the Xi nationality.

On the other side, the Bingzhou Corps led by Su Dingfang was also advanced for dozens of miles in the past five days, breaking through dozens of Xi army camps.

At this rate, in another three or five days, the southern line will also break through the Yanshan Mountain Range.

And the Xi clan seems to have calmly accepted such a result.

He didn't think about resisting, but after a few encounters, he began to shrink his line of defense without much loss and retreated on all fronts.

It's a bit hard to understand.

Could it be that Yuwen Yuanliang gave up?

Su Dingfang and Li Xiaogong are both veterans of a hundred battles, how could the two of them not see the weirdness of such a scene?

Therefore, the two people, who had not met hundreds of miles apart, almost unanimously adopted the same tactics.

Both of them did not move, and sent more than 100 people as spies to explore the way in front.

But the news from the spies was still the same, only saying that they had seen the Xi soldiers retreat around the king's tent, and no ambush was found.

At this point, the armies of the east and south roads of the Tang Dynasty finally began to move in the direction of the Xi king's tent.

It was also in the Bingzhou Army, under the leadership of Su Dingfang, that they marched all the way.

Even the soldiers of the Bingzhou Legion began to be a little fluttering.

Is this still a war?

It's clearly just a formality.

But at this time, the 30,000 Khitan soldiers suddenly killed without warning and attacked the flank of the Bingzhou Army.

Even though Su Dingfang was ready to prevent a sneak attack, he was still caught off guard by the other party.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Legion were brave, and Su Dingfang commanded the battle properly to gradually control the decline.

But at this moment, the 20,000 soldiers of the Xi clan's own formation also suddenly killed.

This time, no matter how well Su Dingfang commanded, and no matter how heroic the soldiers of the Bingzhou Legion were, they couldn't stop the decline.

Su Dingfang had no choice but to order the whole army to retreat.

But this retreat is like a flood discharge, retreating again and again.

From less than a hundred miles away from the Xi king's tent, all the way back to the Tang Xi border.

After retreating here, the Bingzhou Legion finally restrained the decline.

Then, under the command of Su Dingfang, the battle was opened and the two tribes of the Khitan and Xi tribes who were pursuing were returned to Yanshan.

The first contact is a small defeat, and the second contact is a small victory.

The battle was lost, so the annexed state corps did not suffer much loss.

But it also made the morale of the rainbow gradually sluggish.

In this regard, Su Dingfang could only order the whole army to rest and recuperate, and did not dare to act rashly.

On the other side, Li Xiaogong also encountered a similar situation.

When the Liangzhou army was about to arrive at the Xi king's tent, 20,000 troops and horses of the Xi (xi) tribe, one of the three in the northeast, suddenly suddenly killed.

The veteran general Li Xiaogong was calm in the face of danger and commanded in an orderly manner.

But just as the old general organized a counterattack, the 30,000 cavalry composed of the old Turkic people in the Xi tribe came again.

Even if the Liangzhou soldier's individual combat ability is unparalleled in the world, he can't stop the other party's cavalry.

If it weren't for the old general's proper command and early precautions, he immediately withdrew, I am afraid that the reputation of the whole world would be ruined here.

But even so, Liangzhou still paid the price of nearly 3,000 casualties.

……

The battle ahead was unfavorable, and both armies were beaten back.

This made the voice of the Lord and the voice of the Lord gradually began to appear in the court of the Tang Dynasty.

And the front-line battle reports are also like a marquee, running between Chang'an and the battlefield continuously.

This situation really made Li Shimin unexpected.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has never suffered a single defeat in foreign wars.

But this time, against an inconspicuous Xi tribe, he lost two games in a row.

And it was the two most elite ace armies of Datang that lost these two wars.

Therefore, the anger in Li Shimin's heart can be imagined.

He even said in the current dynasty that he wanted to drive the expedition in person.

It's just that as soon as this idea was exported, it was rejected by Wei Zheng.

"Your Majesty, the Xi clan is just a small barbarian, and there is no need for His Highness to personally levy it."

"Besides, Your Majesty's status is not as good as before."

"Throughout the ages, where is there a reason to go to the battlefield on a pilgrimage......"

Wei Zheng is such a guy who never leaves Li Shimin a chance to fight back.

All along, he spoke straightforwardly, and he was not afraid of angering Long Yan.

It is also thanks to that he was born in the Tang Dynasty, and he also caught up with such a wise monarch as Li Shimin.

If it was placed in another dynasty, such a guy would not be able to cut off even if he had ten heads.

Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "Can I just sit in this big rear and watch the soldiers on the front line fall one after another?" ”

It doesn't matter if it's the state legion, or the Liangzhou legion.

Which one of these is not the division of a hundred battles under his Li Shimin's account?

But he didn't even win a small Xi clan, but he lost the battle.

How can this make him embarrassed?

At the beginning, maybe he just wanted to scare and scare Wang Yuwen Yuanliang.

But now, he really has the intention of exterminating his species.

If he doesn't exterminate his dead race, it will really be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart......

And when he saw that all the people did not speak.

Li Shimin asked with a cold face, "What?" All dumb? Speak, tell me, if I don't kiss the expedition, what should I do? ”

His gaze swept over everyone's faces like a knife.

In the end, his eyes stayed on the body of the eldest grandson Wuji: "Eldest grandson, you tell me, what should I do now?" ”

I heard him name himself.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Through his understanding of Li Shimin.

Now Li Shimin is waiting for him to say that he wants him to take the royal conquest in person.

But is that possible?

Li Shimin is not the king of Qin anymore, he is now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

If it were a few years ago, the eldest grandson Wuji might still have that enthusiasm to go with Li Shimin.

But this is different from the past, and the family turmoil has just subsided.

If Li Shimin leaves Chang'an City at this time, the family will inevitably make a comeback, and the previous efforts will be in vain.

The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "The minister thinks that there is someone who can replace His Majesty in person." ”

"Who?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked.

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his head to face Li Shimin, and said loudly: "When the prince of the dynasty, Li Chengqian, the king of Qin, ......"
