Chapter 801: 120,000 troops
Originally, after transferring 250,000 troops, the emperor would leave 30,000 or 40,000 private troops to defend the capital.
After all, there are not one or two examples of direct rebellion after returning from a great victory by a great general who went out to fight.
However, now seeing Cheng Yanjin, Leng Feng and others pushing back and forth for 20,000 troops, Li Shimin suddenly felt that as an emperor, he would have to give up once at this time.
Gongwei is a fart in the capital? All go out to war!
If it weren't for the fact that the scale of this war was really large, and he needed to sit in Chang'an to allocate supplies, he would even have the idea of going into battle in person.
"Xuanjia Army."
Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong glanced at each other, and they both smiled slightly.
The combat power of the Xuanjia Army is very high, and after having the Xuanjia Army, they may not have to blindly shrink back, if the altitude allows, they can not only attack those small countries, but also harass Tibet.
In this way, the entire Western battlefield suddenly changed from its previous lifelessness and became lively.
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said to Leng Feng: "I still have 20,000 troops here, if I don't keep them, I will transfer them to you, 120,000 troops, I hope you don't live up to my expectations of you!" ”
The army of 120,000 is already half of the existing strength of Datang! Moreover, there is a limit to the emperor's trust in a person, generally speaking, it is already remarkable that a general who goes out to fight can get 50,000 troops, and 60,000 troops are rare.
And when it comes to Leng Feng, it is directly an army of 120,000.
Leng Feng knew that Li Shimin had really made a lot of money this time, and he had always been suspicious, but at this time, he actually put his own safety behind him.
However, there is no way to do it, under the world's attack on Tang, no one can say that they can resist the enemy army 100%.
Although the army of 120,000 is enough, it is still a little stretched compared to the overall strength of the Turks, not to mention those small countries and Tibet!
"I can only say that I will do my best, and even if I am sure at this time, it is just words of comfort."
Li Shimin nodded, he knew the variables of war, the strong side may not necessarily be able to win, and the weak side will not necessarily lose.
Until the smoke of war dies down, everything is unknown.
Li Jing put away the map and said: "The road from Chang'an to Guazhou is long, and I will leave tomorrow, gentlemen, see you later." ”
Li Xiaogong and Leng Feng glanced at each other, and also said: "Gaochang is as far away, we are also ready to leave nearby, and we have drunk the farewell wine, and the rest is the celebration wine, and I don't know how long it will take to drink this wine." ”
Under the attack of the whole world, it is impossible to win the battle quickly, so they can only drag it out until they are unwilling to fight hard. No one can say well, which of the countries besieging the Tang Dynasty will not be able to help but retreat first.
It's probably ten or eight years!
Li Shimin said seriously: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will prepare the documents for you today, and the transfer of soldiers will be in place as soon as possible." ”
Now that the war has not officially started, the news of the world's attack on Tang cannot be disclosed to the outside world.
This time, the entire military went out of Beijing, and to the outside world it can only be said that they are inspecting the border defense. Before the war begins, the grain and grass must be in place first, otherwise, it will be a fart battle.
Everyone nodded, they understood the emperor's distress.
The world's attack on Tang was the first time in history that the Central Plains country attracted the attack of all the surrounding countries, and it was not so chaotic when the Wuhu was chaotic. If the news is revealed, it will definitely cause confusion, and there will even be people who take the opportunity to think that they should not be up. And the emperor will also be criticized for "not cultivating virtue" and so on.
If there is chaos before the battle, this battle will not be fought. At that time, they will be caught in the dilemma of rejecting foreign enemies and returning reinforcements.
After returning from the palace, Leng Feng first summoned the Shadow Guard and the Dragon Tooth Army.
"I said in advance, if I go out this time, I don't know if I can come back alive, so if you don't stay, don't follow me!"
Although the Shadow Guard and the soldiers of the Dragon's Tooth Army are married, some of them do not have sons yet.
For people at this time, no son is no queen, if you really die on the battlefield, it will be the end.
Shadow Sixteen stood up: "Family Master, you are wrong. We are all your retainers, your descendants, the descendants of your brothers, our descendants, how can we say that we are broken? This war is extremely difficult, but at the same time, it is also an opportunity. Shadow Sixteen is not talented, and he is willing to follow the head of the family to the border! ”
When a retainer joins a family, he joins a new family. Although they still keep their original surnames, they are actually no different from changing their surnames to Leng.
Li Erniu smiled and said, "Boss, don't talk about these useless things." Although we are stupid, we also know that if we miss this time, there may be no war in the future! What's more, His Majesty said at the beginning that there is no title without military merit, and we still want to get a knighthood! ”
Li Erniu's words caused a burst of laughter.
If a knighthood is so easy to obtain, is it still called a knighthood?
Leng Feng also smiled, glanced at the audience, and saw that everyone's eyes were firm, so he said, "Since no one is retreating, let's prepare." We must not only hurry as soon as possible, but also bring enough supplies to establish a supply point in Jiayuguan and Dunhuang. How we can live in the future depends on how many things can be stocked up on these two material points. ”
Hoarding supplies in Jiayuguan and Dunhuang was the result of discussions between Leng Feng, Li Xiaogong, and Li Jing.
Although Gaochang is stable and the city walls are strong, it is still a bit dangerous to defend Gaochang.
The consumption of 120,000 troops is too great, and it is impossible to mobilize all the troops to Gaochang. Therefore, after discussion, the three of them came to the conclusion that Gaochang was the main battlefield, but it was really impossible to do anything, so they abandoned Gaochang and retreated to the Jiayuguan and Dunhuang lines.
Gaochang is not the most important, the most important thing is Jiayu Pass, once Jiayu Pass is broken, then the enemy will enter the Central Plains can be called a long drive!
After giving orders to do something, Leng Feng returned home.
No matter how uncomfortable he is outside, Leng Feng will not bring his troubles home.
Lao Yuan waited at the door, diligently helping Leng Feng clean up the dust on his coat.
Leng Feng knew that Lao Yuan had something to say, so he didn't take the initiative to ask, but cooperated with Lao Yuan's actions.
After cleaning up the dust, Lao Yuan spoke: "Master, my youngest son is also a top student in the Academy of Literature, and it is difficult for an old slave to do so, and the old slave wants to hand over the errand of the world downstairs to him, and the old slave follows you to the front line, what do you think?" ”
Leng Feng smiled: "What are you doing on the front line as a shopkeeper, do you carry a knife or a chain flail?" Don't make a fuss, take care of the family affairs at home, although this war is tricky, but it is not to the point where you will be sent to death by this old fellow. ”
