After Fugu Huai'en gave the order, he waved his hand, and the three hundred armor soldiers got on their horses together, and they surrounded Li Longji's imperial chariot in the middle with a cone-shaped formation, and the Longwu army led by Chen Xuanli was located in the climate, and slowly walked out of Shangyang Palace.

Pei Min rode Simba, located on the right side of the imperial chariot and walked along.

Looking at the performance of the cavalry under the command of Fugu Huaien, Pei Min nodded with satisfaction.

This famous general from Tiele has already shown his level of training.

The three hundred heavily armored cavalry took the lead in opening the way, and with each step, the sound of the rubbing of the clothes and armor on their bodies and the heavy sound of the horses' hooves on the ground were like beating drums, full of momentum.

When Li Longji and the civil and military officials in the imperial chariot saw this scene, they were all secretly amazed and shocked.

The heavy cavalry was only owned in the Zhenguan period, and there were remnants of the Zhenguan Dynasty in the early stage of the Li Zhi Dynasty, but they soon disappeared in the tide of history.

As for the Wu Zhou Dynasty, even the cavalry that must have regressed had no horses to ride, and they needed to be replaced by mules and horses.

Now that the Tang Dynasty actually has such an imposing heavy armored cavalry, all of them can't help but straighten their waists.

So much so that the eyes of individual Wenchen were red, and they muttered to themselves, the Nanya Forbidden Army under their control could not find a decent heavy armored cavalry, Pei Min was a foreign minister, a border marshal, and he actually had a stronger sergeant than the central government, so he couldn't help but talk to himself.

Song Jing and Zhang Shuo, who listened to these discussions, immediately stopped this ridiculous remark.

They know that the weakness of the forbidden army is not in the equipment at all, but in the generals.

At the beginning of the implementation of the recruitment system, all brave soldiers were required to supplement the forbidden army, and all refined armor was given priority to the forbidden army!

The Shence Army eats all the leftovers of the Central Army, and the result?

The god of the Shence army is mighty, and the prestige of the first army on the edge of the town is violent in the north and south.

And now the Central Army?

Don't mention it!

Is Datang short of horses?

There is no shortage!

The Weinan Military Horse Farm is as stable as Mount Tai, and the Hexi Jiuqu Military Horse Farm has domesticated 130,000 war horses, plus the Liangzhou Military Horse Farm, Shuofang Military Horse Farm, and Yanyun Military Horse Farm......

Although the current Tang Dynasty is not as good as the Zhenguan Dynasty, which has a terrible 750,000 military horses, it also has 300,000.

There is no pressure on the imperial court's finances at present, and the armor can be taken out.

Why is it difficult to form heavy cavalry?

It's just that it costs money and money to raise a team of heavily armored cavalry, but it can't be on the battlefield, what's the use?

Wang Maozhong, Chen Xuanli and others are incompetent and modest, but when it comes to military level, they are really better than them?

It's not that literati can't lead troops, but how many literati like Di Renjie can not only lead the army and govern the army, but also govern the country and the country?

Song Jing and Zhang said that they had already seen through this, and the governance of the Central Army lies in governing the generals, not the troops.

will not be cured, and no matter how much equipment and military salaries are given, it will not help.

It is the most stupid thing to weaken the border defense of the Tang Dynasty because of envy of Pei Min's strength.

A few Wenchen who had objections, seeing Song Jing and Zhang Shuo express their positions at the same time, they didn't dare to say anything more.

As for Li Longji, he has no such concerns.

A big heart is his greatest strength and disadvantage.

In his eyes, the border army is also the army of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also his subordinate Li Longji, which is exactly the same as the nature of the Central Forbidden Army.

No one from the other!

He dared to give Pei Min this power, in addition to having enough confidence in Pei Min, because he also had enough self-confidence, confident that he could suppress Pei Min.

Just as in history, he has always believed that he can intimidate An Lushan.

With him, An Lushan would not dare to have different intentions.

Enigmatic confidence!

"Jingyuan!"

Li Longji opened the curtain and said with a smile: "No wonder you have such confidence, these three hundred cavalrymen in armor and riding equipment are really majestic." ”

Pei Min understood the temperament of this Li family Saburo, and said modestly: "These soldiers are all brave men trained by the ministers for Your Majesty, so that they will not blink an eye when they attack ten times their own on the battlefield." Guarding His Majesty for such a glorious thing, they are all honored, and their morale is high, and three hundred is worthy of three thousand. ”

Anyway, it's not illegal to pat yourself on the back, and Pei Min also picks good things to say.

In fact, it is the Longyou Army that is well-trained.

Pei Min has never been stingy with military exercises.

Many people think that military exercises are just a show, but in the absence of a war, exercises are the only way to greatly enhance combat experience.

Perhaps 10 exercises are not as good as one actual battle, but the performance of soldiers who have experienced 10 exercises on the battlefield is definitely much better than that of new soldiers.

What's more, this heavy cavalry of Fugu Huai'en has been on the battlefield and has withstood the test of life and death.

Moreover, Pei Min chose the most elite 300 people in the heavy cavalry.

It would be too easy for such a strong team to go into battle under any circumstances, and it would be too easy for them to pretend to be forced, to show their prestige, and to protect a person who is almost impossible to attack.

As far as Fugu Wynne is concerned, it is not a test at all.

On the contrary, Pei Min asked them to practice marching at night, from Longyou to Luoyang, day and night, and at the same time it was more difficult not to hurt the people and disturb the people.

Li Longji was very satisfied when he heard this, and said, "What is the name of this leading general?" Yesterday I went to the barracks to inspect and found that Jingyuan governed the army and had the style of Zhou Yafu. That general made a deep impression on me. At that time, all the soldiers were asleep, and he studied the military books in the camp alone, very seriously. I didn't want to disturb the sleeping soldiers, and I didn't go in. ”

Pei Min said: "His name is Fugu Huai'en, and he is indeed a very reliable general, brave and loyal, loyal to my Tang Dynasty." Although he is a Tiele person, when it comes to loyalty, he is no less than the general of Chebi He Li in the Zhenguan period. ”

Li Longji couldn't help nodding and said: "As long as you sincerely serve my Datang, you are all my Datang generals, how can there be a difference between iron and non-iron leas." Go back and reward him for me......"

"Yes!" Pei Min sounded the fate of Fugu Huaien in history, thinking that if Fugu Huaien met Li Longji, such a tragedy would never have been staged.

Li Longji said: "Also, in order not to disturb the people, Jingyuan is too harsh!" Let the soldiers walk day and night, and give them a set time, which is a little unkind! Looking at the soldiers who were snoring like thunder in the middle of the day, I felt sorry for them. ”

Pei Min said: "The ministers are also testing their ability to walk at night by the way, just like crossing the desert in a war with the Turks. The things of conquest are changing rapidly, and there will eventually be a time to march late at night. If they do not have this ability, they may be constrained by the enemy, and they may not even be able to grasp the fleeting fighter plane. In this aspect of operations, the commanders and soldiers complement each other, and the commanders are responsible for coordinating the overall situation, drawing up strategies, and studying operational plans. The general implements the battle plan and adjusts the battle plan according to the changes in the battle situation, and the soldiers are the last participants. The stronger they are, the more confident they will be, and the more means they will have. ”

"I'm not afraid to tell Your Majesty the truth, many people boast that the ministers use their soldiers to be wild, but in fact, they have nothing to do with the ministers, and they are all the credit of these soldiers. It was their extraordinary ability that made them dare to come up with such a strategy. ”

Li Longji is excellent in political and employing people, but for the military, he is a fool, and he was stunned by Yang Guozhong in history.

Pei Min said that the head was the Tao, he heard it in a fog, but he also understood the key, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, aren't you boasting that you can train soldiers?" ”

Pei Min smiled and said, "Let Your Majesty see through it, and the minister will have this ability." ”

Li Longji said: "Your ability, how can I not know, with you, I have no worries in the northwest, and I sleep soundly!" ”

Heading all the way east, it is impossible for this Zen team to completely not disturb the people.

Pei Min uses the method of staggering peak use and diversion of the road.

In fact, it is modeled on the traffic lights of later generations, not forcibly blocking the official road, but opening the official road in a section.

When Li Longji and his entourage passed by, it was enough for no one to threaten them.

In this way, it can not interfere with the normal life of the people to the greatest extent, and it also protects Li Longji's safety.

The journey was unimpeded and took twenty-one days.

Li Longji stood at the foot of Mount Tai, looking at the towering head of the five mountains, the first mountain in the world, and said with some emotion to the civil and military forces on the left and right: "This time, I finally realized what a good fighter is, and there is no outstanding achievement. ”

What he said was naturally Pei Min's arrangement along the way.

Compared with Wang Maozhong's momentum, he worked hard day and night. In order to fill the scene, Wang Maozhong did everything to win over the people of the rivers and lakes; In order to protect safety, 30,000 soldiers were mobilized, and the walls were cleared along the way......

And Pei Min plays and sleeps, chats with married women, accompanies a four-year-old girl on the street, and practices swords with his sister-in-law, which is really not too easy.

The gap is self-evident, but the result is a world of difference.

Pei Min, who had nothing to do, threw Wang Mao Zhong several streets away.

Zhang Shuo echoed: "A truly capable person is to deal with complex things simply, while an ignorant person is to deal with simple things in a complex manner and make himself dizzy." At this point, Pei Gong is indeed a model for us, and it is worth learning from his ministers. ”

The ceremony of sealing Zen is very complicated, but these are all things that Li Longji told Zhang and Wang Hui.

Li Longji is the first dedication, Zhang Shuo is responsible for the second dedication, and Wang Hui is responsible for the final dedication.

Originally, the final offering was reserved for Pei Min, but Pei Min refused again.

It is not uncommon for him to be sacrificed, let alone the final offering?

However, he had no time to spare, and Li Longji authorized him to guard left and right with a sword, and accompanied him throughout the process.

Because when climbing Mount Tai, in order to avoid disturbing the ghosts and gods, heavy guards are not allowed.

In the case of few soldiers, Pei Min was not by his side, and Li Longji lacked a sense of security.

The sky seemed to be a little unpleasant, four days before the meditation.

On a February day, it suddenly snowed heavily in the land of Qilu.

Pei Min noticed the abnormality, walked out of the room, looked at the celestial phenomena, and calculated the time under the heavy snow according to the five elements of yin and yang and the method of astronomical almanacs handed down by Pei Xingjian.

After all these years of study, I dare not say that I have Pei Xingjian's divine precision, but I am also fifty or sixty percent sure.

After looking at the half-ring, he found that the black clouds mainly gathered in the generation of Mount Tai, and said in a deep voice: "This heavy snow is only half a day at most, but there must be rain and snow on Mount Tai." ”

Early the next morning.

Pei Min called Fugu Huaien and went up the mountain together.

Li Long was basically elated, but he didn't suffer from this heavy snowfall, he couldn't sleep all night, looking at the snow around him, he was in a bad mood, and he invited Zhang Shuo, Wang Hui and Taishi Ling Cheng Yi to the tent.

"I don't know if it snowed heavily last night, can it be affected by the Zen Meditation itinerary?"

Zhang said with a wry smile: "Mount Tai is high, but I am afraid that the situation on the mountain will be more serious, for the sake of safety, it is best to postpone the trip." ”

Cheng Yi shook his head and said: "February 26 is the best time, and it will not wait for it." Wait for the next auspicious day, and it will be late March as recently. Instead of waiting for more than 20 days, it is better to immediately gather craftsmen to smooth the road and apply sand for Luan to walk before the auspicious day of Fengzen comes. ”

Zhang Shuo frowned slightly, wanted to persuade, but after thinking about it, he kept silent.

There are only four days before the period of meditation, and the only way to smooth the road and cover it with sand in this short period of time is to use all the people in the vicinity, and the sand used will be obtained nearby.

As a result, it is inevitable that labor will be wasted and local vegetation will be destroyed.

However, if you don't do this, you will wait for a month, and the amount of money and money spent and the military and government delays will also be incalculable.

Calculated by the hatchback, the loss of the former is lighter.

Li Longji had the biggest thing in his heart, and he was not worried about letting the prince of Luoyang supervise the country for too long, so he waved his hand and said, "Just follow Tai Shiling's idea." ”

Zhang said that he took the order and left.

Li Longji was depressed and wanted to chat with Pei Min, but learned that Pei Min was not in the camp, so he invited Li Xian, Li Longfan, and Li Longye to the tent to talk in detail.

It wasn't until late afternoon that Li Longji got the news that Pei Min wanted to see him.

Seeing Pei Min enter with an excited face, Li Longji asked curiously, "Jingyuan, where have you been?" I'm so happy not to see you for most of the day. ”

Pei Min said with a smile: "Chen went up to visit Mount Tai Daguan Peak early in the morning, and he was a little excited. Your Majesty doesn't know, but the minister finally realized why this Mount Tai is the head of the five mountains and the first mountain in the world. ”

"Why?" Li Longji heard that Pei Min had gone up to Mount Tai Daguan Peak early in the morning, and he was only indescribably moved in his heart.

Pei Min said with a smile: "The minister has never been to Mount Tai, but he knows it from the book." The beauty of Mount Tai lies in its magnificence, with high mountains and short rivers. From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the spring stream contends, the mountain is high and the water is long, and the mountain spring is dense, the river and the stream are vertical and horizontal, which can be described as majestic and magnificent. All of this is what is said in the book, and the minister has always been fascinated. Last night's heavy snow, snow covered the mountains and forests, the minister couldn't help but go up the mountain one step ahead of His Majesty to play, all the way up the mountain, what he saw and heard, speechless. There is only one poem in a thousand words. ”

"How is Dai Zongfu? Qi Lu Qingwei is gone.

Creation Zhong Shenxiu, yin and yang cut dusk.

Swing your chest and give birth to Zeng Yun, and decide to return to the bird.

It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance. ”

Li Longji listened to this poem, Huo Ran got up, and his chest was also shocked by the pride contained in this poem.

Li Xian clapped his hands vigorously and said: "A good one will be at the top of the mountain, and you can see all the mountains at a glance." Jingyuan is too few friends, such a beautiful scenery, even don't call us. ”

Pei Min touched his nose and said with a smile: "The road on the mountain is slippery, Min is a person who practices martial arts, his steps are brisk, and climbing Mount Tai is like walking on the ground." King Ning, who is delicate and expensive, is afraid that he can't stand it. ”

Li Xian looked at Li Longji with a little displeasure and said with a smile: "San Lang, it seems that our brother is underestimated." ”

Li Longji got up and said: "I want to go to the horse and falcon back then, go over the mountains and mountains, and walk on the flat ground, how can Mount Tai worry about it!" Four days later, I and Jingyuan hiked up the mountain together, killing two birds with one stone, and this experience was not in vain. ”
