Chapter 21: Divine Wisdom

Logically speaking, this kind of task of guarding the emperor's safety should be the responsibility of the Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven.

Even if it is not the left and right Longwu and Yulin Army, it should be the soldiers of the Sixteen Guards, and the local defenders of Chang'an are the right thing.

How could anyone transfer troops from the border to Chang'an to be responsible for the emperor's safety?

In case the commander of the army has bad intentions, he takes the opportunity to coerce the Son of Heaven to order him not to submit.

Isn't that the chaos in the world?

Pei Min didn't have this mind, he still remembered mentioning this matter to Li Longji many years ago.

He strongly criticized the problems existing in the Central Army, repeatedly doubted the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven, and hoped that Li Longji would pay attention to it.

Li Longji did attach importance to this issue, but the method adopted by Li Longji was not a cure for the symptoms.

The reason for the weakness of the Central Army is not soldiers, but generals!

The weapons and equipment of the Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven are the best, and the way to obtain the quality of the soldiers is also the best, and the strength should be the strongest.

But in response to a sentence, the lion leads the flock, and the sheep are also lions; The sheep lead the lion herd, and the lion is like a sheep.

Nowadays, there are few generals in the court who have seen the world, and a batch of them has been swept away, and another batch has come.

The new group of people is headed by Wang Maozhong.

Wang Maozhong can't say that he is incapable, he still has the ability, but he can't do big things. Sexual awareness, courage and good riding and shooting are his advantages, and the same timidity, arrogance, and no one in his eyes are his biggest shortcomings.

Wang Maozhong is Li Longji's domestic slave and Li Longji's confidant.

In order to kill Empress Wei, Zong Chuke, and Princess Anle, Li Longji launched the Tanglong coup, and the most critical part of the coup was the 10,000 cavalry army contacted by Wang Maozhong.

At the beginning, the role of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, just like the congenital coup d'état, Pei Min's control of the Yulin Army, was a decisive move, the key to the key.

In the face of this situation, before the coup d'état, Wang Maozhong had a calm expression on his face, and everything was wrapped up in me. However, at the time of the coup, Wang Maozhong was instigated, and at the most critical time, he was too frightened to appear, which directly caused Li Longji to be unable to contact the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, and the coup almost failed.

There is no need to think about the outcome of this failed coup d'état.

In the face of Wang Maozhong's mistake, it is not an exaggeration for Li Longji to kill Wang Maozhong, but Li Longji did not. For Wang Maozhong, who only appeared three days after the fact, Li Longji not only did not take responsibility, but also awarded him the title of general.

Now he is the general of the auxiliary state, the general of Zuo Wuwei, the idle stable inside and outside the inspection school and the priest of the superintendent, the special advancement, the servant of the Taiqing, Huo Guogong, and has become a military boss.

Li Longji is too tolerant of the people he trusts, he can forgive Wang Maozhong for the big mistake of almost killing him, and he will naturally not be held accountable for the rest of his minor mistakes.

After the events of that year, Wang Maozhong was a general of the DPRK and China, and he did not dare to slack off the practice of the soldiers.

Over the years, the strength of the forbidden army has grown, and it will not be completely corrupt and incompetent as it was at the beginning. But because of the limited strength of the commander, he can't be the title of elite, so he can only come out to show his whiteness, and if he really wants to go to the battlefield, he really can't be of much use.

Pei Min looked at the Northern Yalong Wu Army, the Yulin Army, and the Guanzhong soldiers of the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya, and only a small part of the troops were truly qualified soldiers. The rest of the deception and deception of the layman can be, but they want to hide from the eyes of the insider, but they are too underestimated by the world.

The lion king, Mosley Masa, went into battle at the age of eleven to kill the enemy, and has nearly thirty years of military experience. Justinian was the governor of Byzantium and had a military career of forty years. As for the Tibetan Longlangchi, the Qarluq patriarch Ashina Shiwei, and the Uighur patriarch Chengzong, who is waiting for him?

There is also the king of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, who can become the lord of a country, and now he is in the intricate Western Regions, how can he be inferior in eyesight?

Unless Pei Min selects a small number of elites from the Sixteen Guards, Longwu Army, and Yulin Army, and forms another team of soldiers to cooperate with training, it can reflect the prestige of the Tang Army.

However, time did not allow him to do this, and it took a certain amount of time for the patchwork of soldiers to gather, and only a month was not enough to do this.

Pei Min's initial proposal was to make do, and he couldn't do anything about it.

It takes time to form a strong army, and it needs to be tempered and formed through various actual combat and exercise training.

Even if Pei Min gets the inheritance of Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Pei Xingjian, he doesn't have the ability to train a strong army in just one month.

Pei Min was willing to settle, but Li Longji was unwilling.

The future development of the Tang Dynasty lies in the West, and Western countries such as the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, the Great Food Country, Byzantium, and the Turgish are watching from the sidelines.

Li Longji also began to regret in his heart that he did not really grasp the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army in the north and south, so that at a critical time, he could not be put on the stage.

As a result, Li Longji himself proposed to transfer the Longyou Shence Army to use.

The Shence Army is known as the First Army on the edge of the town, and Li Longji also wants to see the demeanor of the First Army.

If you were another emperor, you would definitely not do this, but Li Longji is different.

His trust is a little blind, and the Shence Army is also the army of the Tang Dynasty, how can he treat him, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?

What's more, the commander of the Shence Army is Pei Min, so there is no doubt at all.

Pei Min had already had this intention, but he himself was not good at proposing it, and immediately ordered the Shence Army to enter Chang'an for training.

It has been seven years since the Shence Army was formed, and it has experienced the counterattack of Taozhou, the battle of luring the enemy in Guangen Town, the attack and harassment of Jiuqudi in Hexi, the battle of recovering Jiuqudi in Hexi and the suppression of the rebellion in Liuhu Prefecture. He has undergone rigorous training by Pei Min and Feng Changqing.

Especially in recent years, Pei Min has been inherited by Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Pei Xingjian in the art of war, learned their methods of military training, and cooperated with some of his own shallow views in later generations, and led the Longyou Army up the mountains and rivers many times, into the river and into the desert, and simulated military exercises in a harsh environment. The Shence Army is the best performing of all the Longyou Army, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a division of a hundred battles, and it is also the first trump card combat power in Pei Min's hands.

This divine army is from far to near, and every step it takes, it gives people a feeling that the earth is shaking.

Neat, mighty, majestic!

The Shence Army passed through the wind and snow and appeared under the Chengtian Gate!

"This ......," Li Longji couldn't help but say in a lost voice.

“! @#¥%…… &*”

The Lion King of Arabia, Mosley Massa, and the Byzantine Governor Stinian, couldn't help but cry out in their own voices, and the words of their own country translate to an impossible meaning.

There was a whispering of discussion on the castle tower.

"How are there only 3,000?"

"I thought it was 30,000!"

"It's incredible......"

All sorts of surprises and exclamations were heard.

Because of the wind and snow, and the morning fog, the visibility was not high, and the number of people who came could not be seen clearly, until the soldiers came closer, and they found that the soldiers who brought them great power were only 3,000 men!

3,000 people, but 30,000 might!

That rainbow morale gathers in one place, giving people an irresistible spirit!

This is the First Army on the edge of town?

In the past, the Xuanjia Army of Tiance Mansion was nothing more than that!

The insider couldn't help but think secretly, this can be changed to the first army of the Tang Dynasty!
