Luo Zhaoyun inspected the three armies the next day, first inspected the city defenses, visited the main military camps in the city, and went to the military camps outside the city in the afternoon to give some encouragement to the new army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At present, the whole army is a little excited when they learn that the young marshal of the year has returned to his post and wants to lead everyone to do a great cause.

The impetuous atmosphere earlier became calm, and they were all waiting to see the young marshal take over here, what was the next move?

These soldiers have heard that the Central Plains is in turmoil and the imperial court will be destroyed, so they don't want to continue to be loyal to the Sui Dynasty, but the military order from top to bottom has not been loosened, and no one dares to take the lead in betrayal, otherwise it is easy to be dealt with by military law.

When Luo Zhaoyun came here, although he did not immediately say that he wanted to break away from the control of the imperial court, he had already revealed a little information to the generals, letting them know that he was not a foolish and loyal person, and when the time was ripe, he naturally had new plans, but for the time being, he would not betray the Sui imperial court with great fanfare.

"Roar! Hoo-"

Outside the barracks, many soldiers and horses were practicing according to their daily training plans.

Luo Zhaoyun rode and stopped at a mountain col, looking down at the phalanx in front of him, it was the scene of 10,000 people training, thousands of people were in a phalanx, walking the same step and shouting a heavy trumpet, like a moving mountain, majestic.

The pikeman kept changing direction with his heavy red-tasseled spear, sometimes holding his chest flat, and sometimes pointing diagonally into the air at an angle, moving forward with firm steps.

There are also phalanxes practicing running positions and practicing small formations.

Li Jing was strict in governing the army, and when there was no war, he would not slack off in training, and the cold weather in the border garrison made this frontier army tempered into an elite.

"General Li, have you selected good people for this western expedition?" Luo Zhaoyun turned his head and asked with a smile, the two of them were still commensurate with their official positions in front of the generals.

Li Jing's expression was fixed, and he said: "Well, I have chosen, Cui Shi, Li Zhen, Zhang Xu and others followed me towards Zhangye County and advanced all the way to the west." ”

"Without further ado, let's set off in seven days, the situation in the world is changing too fast to be delayed for a long time, and the troops can only be allocated to you 20,000, and after General Li accepts Zhangye County, continue to expand there, after all, there are still some scattered soldiers and border garrisons in those places, which can be reorganized and utilized."

Li Jing nodded and agreed, although the 20,000 troops are small, but there is no strong enemy in the northwest to confront them, it is enough, as long as he continues to expand his troops, it will be like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger.

Luo Zhaoyun planned to leave 20,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Fuqi City and several small cities around it, and then take 40,000 main forces to attack Li Rail, approach Xue Ju, suppress the rebel migration to the east, and chase the tiger and the wolf.

........

After Li Yuan raised his army, Jinyang became a place of great encounters, and in a short period of time, he absorbed many sages and scholars of the Guanlong nobles and the sons of the generals to defect.

Li Valve and Dou Valve people are even more flocking, because of their blood and kinship, they can be reused and promoted.

When Jinyang City was gaining momentum, he suddenly learned that Luo Cheng was sent to Xihai County to take over the military power, and was named the generalissimo of Pingxi, and he was going to advance to the east in the near future.

Li Shimin brought Liu Wenjing, Duan Zhixuan and others to attend the parliament, and after learning the news, he couldn't help but sneer: "Father, what was a big deal for me at that time, wasn't it that young marshal, although he was brave back then, it was the Great Sui as the backing, so that he could be invincible, and now the Great Sui is shaky and has lost the hearts of the people, and he still has to devote himself to the Great Sui. We don't sit idly by, so there's no need to worry. ”

"You kid, your heart is also bigger, Luo Cheng has the bearing of a famous general, he is young, he has great achievements, now he is in the land of Youzhou, occupying six counties, and now he has gone to Xihai County, the northeast and northwest are his territory, even if he will not be in contact with our soldiers for the time being, but there will be a death battle in the future, whether he is loyal to Yang Guang, or he wants to establish himself as a king, sooner or later he will have to fight with my Tang army."

"Then fight, the child has long wanted to break his myth!" Li Shimin disagreed with Luo Cheng, and the arrogance in his heart made him want to defeat and deal with him so that he could achieve his prestige.

Li Yuan said calmly: "Don't underestimate him, this Luo Cheng, you must not wait to ignore it, no one can guess his mind for the time being, I don't know what he wants to do, who is he loyal to, or wants to be self-reliant?" In short, we should send people to spread the news, so that Li Liang and Xue Ju have a certain precaution against Luo Cheng, so as not to be quickly broken and strengthen the team. Second, we must immediately send troops, take Daxing City as soon as possible, and occupy the name of orthodoxy, so that we can force Luo Cheng to return to Yang Yu, the king of the Shun Dynasty, otherwise, we will declare him a rebellion and deduct him for a big crime. ”

When Li Shimin heard that he was going to send troops, he suddenly came to his senses, and stood up excitedly and said: "Father, the child is willing to be the vanguard, lead the army to kill the enemy, and clear the way for his father to enter Xijing." ”

When Li Yuan heard this, although he was a little happy about the child's filial piety in his heart, he still felt uneasy about Li Er's impetuousness and lack of experience, and pondered for a moment: "This time I sent troops to Xijing, with Jiancheng as the commander and Shimin as the deputy commander, and the two of you each took the Wenmou military generals under your command to set off as the vanguard, and the Chinese army was the commander of the Chinese army for your father." ”

Liu Hongji said: "Before leaving, please ask Tang Gong to divide the seals specifically, so that there are clear responsibilities, and everyone can work together." ”

Li Yuan nodded, feeling that what he said was reasonable, so he later issued a letter of appointment: Li Jiancheng was appointed Duke of Longxi, commanding the Left Third Army, Li Shimin was the Duke of Dunhuang, commanding the Right Third Army, Li Yuanji was the Taiyuan County Guard, Pei Lian was Changshi, and was in charge of the army's Chinese book; Liu Wenjing is the military affairs Sima and is in charge of military affairs; Wen Daya, Wen Dayou, and Tang Jian are the bookkeepers, and they are in charge of secrets; Wu Shi Tong is the armor Cao, responsible for the affairs of the armor, Liu Zhenghui, Cui Shanwei, and Zhang Daoyuan are Hu Cao, responsible for civil affairs.

The rest of the people such as Liu Hongji, Dugu Huaien, Li Shentong, Li Xiaoji, Murong Luohu, Dou Cong, Wang Changhuan, Yu Yun, Jiang Baoyi and others were respectively named left and right commanders, generals, etc., while Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's self-recruited Junjie were not listed, and they could be promoted and appointed according to their needs after sending troops.

There are many talents in the Jinyang forces, and they have the advantage of the gate lords and nobles, and once they seize Daxing City, they will have a significant impact on the pattern of the world.
