Hearing Nanzhao again, Li Longji didn't mention how much regret he had in his heart.

In this world, there is no regret about taking medicine, if you really want it, no matter how much it costs, he will ask for it.

Suddenly, Li Longji thought of something, looked at his most trusted minister in front of him with a little hesitation, and said, "I heard that Miss Gongsun is pregnant?" ”

This is which pot is not opened and which pot is not mentioned.

Pei Min's face was a little stiff, and he said, "More than four months pregnant. ”

Li Longji looked at the expression with a little guilt and said, "Are you planning not to wait for the child to be born?" ”

Salt the wound is nothing more than that.

If he can fight, Pei Min will definitely go up and have a full fist.

"I can't wait, the Tibetans and the Arabs are united, and once this side attacks, the Arab side will inevitably follow the army. As long as His Majesty sent out the envoys, the ministers immediately repaired the book and sealed the Changqing Festival to make him ready, and on the grounds of military exercises, he transferred troops across the sand moraine and rushed to Xizhou. As soon as the minister returned to Guzang, he would rest for one night at most, and then he would leave. Don't give your opponent anything to take advantage of. ”

Li Longji looked at Pei Min deeply.

Pei Min knows Li Longji, why doesn't Li Longji know Pei Min?

Pei Min is the most Gu family.

There are few people with such status as Pei Min who don't come nonsense.

But Pei Min rarely goes in and out of the fireworks and wine alley, and he cares for his wife and children, and he can be called a filial son and a model husband.

Thinking that in order to personally wait for the birth of his child, he even did not hesitate to boast about Haikou and the river meandering in August.

This matter is still a beautiful talk.

But now, seeing that his own flesh and blood are about to come out in half a year, he will be away from home for two years or more.

This ordinary person may not be able to stand it, let alone Pei Min, a good man who cares about the family?

After being silent for a long time, Li Longji sighed: "I have wronged you!" ”

Pei Min shook his head solemnly and said: "The minister knows one thing very well, only when there is a country can there be a home. As a soldier, the country is in trouble, and it is our duty to shirk it. ”

"A good one has a country and a home, and a good one has an unshirkable responsibility!"

Li Longji stood up with a moving face and said, "I know better than anyone else that in the past ten years, Jingyuan's contribution to our dynasty!" The imperial court has the momentum of today's Kaiyuan, and the work of Jingyuan is unparalleled. After this battle, I will grant you the position of king of the county as a reward. ”

It is not unprecedented, but in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there was no such example.

Once he was really sealed, Pei Min undoubtedly created a precedent for the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

Pei Min didn't seem to be very happy, but with a little embarrassment, he wanted to talk.

Li Longji was surprised: "Jingyuan, but there is anything else to say?" ”

Of course Pei Min has, but he is a little hesitant, there is no doubt that now is the best time to speak, bow deeply, and say, "The minister still has something to ask for!" ”

Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Jingyuan might as well say it directly, there is no need to be so polite." ”

Pei Min didn't get up, he still bent over and said: "Your Majesty is at war with Tibet and Arabia at the same time this time, grain and grass are the key to victory, and logistics are very important. If there is the slightest deviation, the previous achievements will be wasted, and the Western Regions will not be guaranteed. Knowing that there is no such precedent, the minister still implores His Majesty to allow the minister to be responsible for the transportation and distribution of grain and grass, so as to meet the situation. As long as the war is over, the minister will take the initiative to take the position and will not hesitate. ”

After Zhang Qiu and Qiong, Xian Yu Zhongtong, Pei Min already had a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

In many cases, the problem is not with the enemy, but with one's own people.

His grand strategy is like this, little by little, he will let his people collapse and collapse.

The current attack and defense are already forcing Liangshan's style of play.

If there is any deviation, even Pei Min can't do anything.

Pei Min didn't dare to hand over the logistics to outsiders, which was also the main reason why he came to Chang'an.

Ask for the power of food and grass.

Li Longji looked at Pei Min in front of him, strode forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this." ”

He grabbed Pei Min's hand and said: "I use extraordinary methods at extraordinary times, I believe in Jingyuan's loyalty to me and to my Tang Dynasty more than anyone else." I immediately added Jingyuan as the envoy of the Longyou branch and the envoy of Yingtian, the envoy of the Hexi branch and the envoy of Yingtian, the protector of the western capital of Zhi'an, and the supply of rice and grain in Hexi, Longyou and the Western Regions, all of which were fully responsible for Jingyuan. ”

As he spoke, he patted the back of Pei Min's hand heavily to express his reassurance.

"Thanksgiving!"

Pei Min could feel the weight of Li Longji's gentle entrustment.

The envoy is an official position in charge of military quartermasters, and his authority is to pay for financial expenses and allocate materials. The camp envoy was in charge of all matters in the tuntian and was responsible for the military rations in the territory. If you add the military power of the Jiedu envoy, it is almost equivalent to the integration of army, food, and finance, which is tantamount to having the power of tearing the earth and sealing the king.

As for the Zhi'an Western Metropolitan Protector, it means that all the vassal states in the Western Regions are Pei Min's subordinates and have the right to deal with everything in the Western Regions.

As long as this order is passed, Pei Min will be a veritable king of the northwest.

It can even be said that the current Pei Min is more powerful than An Lushan, who rebelled in history.

"Your Majesty, I will guarantee with my life, never disappoint the high hopes of the Holy Will, and never lose an inch of my Datang territory."

Li Longji said with a smile: "I remember that we said at the beginning that if I want to match or even surpass Emperor Taizong, Arabia is a hurdle that must be passed. And Jingyuan is the commander of the three armies, and he sweeps away the biggest enemy in my life. I've been waiting for this day, and now it's just a snack before the dish, let Jingyuan try it first. ”

Pei Min vaguely remembered that there was indeed an agreement, and said busily: "Your Majesty still remembers, the ministers are about to forget." ”

Li Longji said quite complacently: "I am a gentleman, I am a gentleman, and I don't remember what I said." Jingyuan can rest assured that I am in Chang'an, and I am your biggest backer. ”

Pei Min was also full of confidence when Li Longji said this, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister first swept away Tibet for His Majesty, and as for Arabia, one day, the minister will come to Chang'an to dance for His Majesty." ”

Pei Min did not stay in Chang'an for long, and after the goal was achieved, he returned to Liangzhou directly.

From beginning to end, Pei Min didn't even enter Chang'an's house.

When Li Longji heard this, he was silent for a long time, and he was speechless for a long time.

Immediately, he called Zhang Shuo, Li Yuanhong, and Wang Hui to the Qinzheng Palace.

Zhang Shuo, Li Yuanhong, and Wang Hui are the three highest-ranking ruling prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and they are in charge of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province respectively.

Li Longji explained the situation analyzed by Pei Min to the three of them.

The three prime ministers, Li Yuanhong doesn't understand military strategy at all, Zhang Shuo and Wang Hui all have extraordinary skills.

There is no objection to Pei Min's analysis and judgment, and he also supports Pei Min's proposal to go on the expedition, but it also shows that the economic pressure on the court is not small as soon as this war begins, and it needs to be done cautiously.

Li Longji also said the true intention of summoning the three of them: "I plan to crown Pei Guogong as the envoy of the Longyou Branch, the envoy of the Yingtian, the envoy of the Hexi Branch, the envoy of the Yingtian, and the protector of the Dadu of Zhi'anxi, so that he will have no worries and make every effort to deal with the upcoming decisive battle." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shuo, Li Yuanhong, and Wang Hui were all a little stunned.

Li Yuanhong jumped up without hesitation and said sharply: "The minister is against it!" ”
