Chapter 242: The Final Mobilization
The overcast sky began to fly with dots of snow foam.
Li Chengqian, dressed in a military uniform with a sword hanging from his waist, walked resolutely towards the large school field in the valley under the escort of Wei Chigong and Wang Fangyi, and the umbrella cover, feather fan, and banner behind him were hunting.
In the school field, the 40,000 Tang elites wore helmets and armor, and the stone carvings and bronze casts were generally motionless in the wind and snow, looking at the high platform in the north of the school field.
The soldiers all knew that Li Chengqian would appear on the high platform later.
Li Chengqian and his entourage slowly came to the edge of the school yard and saw the dense soldiers, Li Chengqian stopped and took a deep breath and walked towards the high platform.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Chengqian walked to the high platform and turned to face the 40,000 Tang soldiers in the audience.
Forty thousand elite soldiers clasped their fists at the same time and bowed down: "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Li Chengqian opened his arms and said loudly: "Flat!" ”
As the soldiers straightened up, the snow fell from their shoulders.
Li Chengqian slowly swept his gaze over the 40,000 troops on the school field from left to right, and he saw a chaotic snowflakes flying between the red helmets on the heads of the soldiers, and then landing on the helmets and cloaks of the soldiers.
He moved his gaze down a little and saw the rough and young faces of the soldiers in the audience, as if carved with knives and axes in the wind and snow.
Li Chengqian coughed lightly, picked up the simple trumpet-shaped megaphone in his hand, and said affectionately: "Hello warriors of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Li Chengqian's voice spread throughout the school through the north wind, and all the soldiers looked at him eagerly.
Li Chengqian paused and continued: "Today is the third day of the lunar new year, if you are at home, the family should also prepare new clothes for the New Year."
But outside this Lingwu City, the Lone King and you have been training in the wind and snow for nearly a month, for what?"
Li Chengqian took two steps forward, and glanced at the soldiers below, and only the banners in the wind were hunting in the entire school field.
Li Chengqian replied to himself: "It's for the unrest of the north of the Tang Dynasty!"
The smoke and dust of the Han family are in the northeast, and the Han will quit his family and break the thief.
My Chinese nobles have the fortune of heaven and earth to live in China, but since the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, they have often been harassed by Beidi, and the Ming monarchs of all dynasties have focused on stabilizing Beidi, some have sent troops to conquer, some have built the Great Wall, and some have married their daughters and relatives......
Thousands of wars and peace are constantly disturbing, how many good men are stained with blood and yellow sand?
How many Han girls weep at the dome?
My Tang Dynasty's martial arts are far superior to the previous generation, and Zhenguan destroyed the Turks that had plagued China for a hundred years in one fell swoop, but at that time, the Tang Dynasty was not long after the founding of the country, and the people's livelihood withered, and they were unable to continue to operate the north and south of the desert.
So much so that the small chief of Mobei, Xue Yantuo Yinan, took advantage of the situation and subdued the grassland tribes by force to establish themselves as khans.
In order to quell the war and recuperate the world, the Son of Heaven issued a decree to crown Yi Nan as Khan and give him a banner ......"
Li Chengqian spoke impassionedly on the stage, and the soldiers below also listened to it with a lot of blood, but there were still people who heard something different.
For example, it was indeed the Tang Dynasty that finally captured the Turkic Jili Khan and exterminated the Turks, but Xue Yantuo and the Hui tribes also had a lot of confrontations with the Turks in Mobei and helped the Tang Dynasty one after another.
Moreover, the land of Mobei was beaten down by the people themselves, but from Li Chengqian's mouth, it was Xue Yantuo who got the advantage of the Tang Dynasty.
The most important thing is that these words were said by Li Chengqian, and he looked bitter and hateful, unlike some traversers who were a little overbearing and complacent.
But Li Chengqian himself was convinced of what he said, and since ancient times, it was Xue Yantuo who took advantage of the Tang Dynasty. Now he can't get along with Datang, and he dares to besiege him with the next faction, so Datang must destroy Xue Yantuo.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and Li Chengqian talked about it for a long time on the high platform, explaining clearly and clearly how Xue Yantuoyi's father and son wanted to encroach on the Tang Dynasty, and how the Turkic Li Simo harbored evil intentions and tried to make a comeback.
In the end, Li Chengqian said: "The lonely king went to the bitter cold land of Saibei with his disabled body with the respect of the prince, not afraid of hardships and dangers, in order to pacify Xue Yantuo and the Turkic remnants in one fell swoop.
Then take good care of this fertile land, let this place forever become the pasture of my Datang, and remove a disaster for China from now on.
Today, the cold wind is howling, and the snow is flying, and it seems that even the sky does not want us to go out to triumph. ”
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian swiped his waist and pointed obliquely at the sky, and shouted: "For countless years, the Han family has been extremely difficult to conquer the northern part of the country, which time is not to fight the sky first and then fight the people?"
Today, if the sky wants to stop the lonely king, the lonely king will split the sky with a sword! ”
Woo –
A gust of cold wind swept through, the snow rushed straight to the face, and tens of thousands of people on the high platform watched Li Chengqian stand tall, holding his sword high and stabbing at the sky.
Li Chengqian's cloak and sleeves were hunted by the wind, and the snowflakes on his arms flew across his cheeks with the wind, but Li Chengqian always stood proudly, and his not strong body seemed to be transformed into a white jade pillar in the sky.
Cheng Wuting, who was standing in the audience, shouted loudly with tears in his lungs: "The minister is willing to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to eliminate Yidi and stabilize the Tang Dynasty!" ”
The enthusiastic soldiers, hearing this, couldn't help but follow aloud: "Eliminate Yidi and stabilize the Tang Dynasty!" ”
"Eliminate Yidi and stabilize the Tang Dynasty!"
……
……
The 40,000-strong army shouted several times in a row, and the sound shook all over the wilderness, and finally the snow on the mountain was ......shaken, and more than a dozen small-scale avalanches appeared on the slopes of the mountains on all sides.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian waved his sword violently, his expression was solemn, and his voice shouted excitedly: "The generals will listen to the order and go out with the lonely king!" ”
With Li Chengqian's order, the 40,000 officers and men on the school field began to line up and go out according to the military academy to which they belonged.
At this time, the wind in the valley was stronger, and the snow was heavier, but this did not stop the soldiers from moving firmly.
Li Chengqian stood on the high platform and watched the groups of Tang soldiers go out of the valley along the winding mountain road, the soldiers were wearing white cloaks, and they could not see their figures clearly when walking in the white snow, but the red tassels on their helmets were still bright red and eye-catching.
As the pioneers walked farther and farther, the red tassels formed a red stream that stretched for several miles, surging into the distance with the wind and snow.
Li Chengqian turned back to Xu Jingzong with red eyes and said: "Sort out the situation of today's troops and what the Lone King just said, and send it back to the world." ”
"Obey the order!"
----------------
The entrance of the Yellow River in Kongduigou, in Xue Yantuo's sweat tent.
Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yi Nan sat cross-legged on the tiger skin couch, looking at his eldest son Lu Mang with an expressionless face, judging in his heart what he said was right or wrong.
"Father Khan, it is really useless to pull out the burn, this time I am afraid that my Xue Yantuo's family will be emptied, it is better for Father Khan to send someone to replace the ...... of Pull Zhuo"
When Yi Nan heard that Lu Mang finally said his purpose, he waved his hand unhappily and said, "Okay! It's not a wise move to change generals before the army, so you can quit! ”
Trolling looked at Yi Nan in amazement, and after a while, he was sure that Yi Nan still didn't believe in himself, so he had to withdraw with a wry smile.
Trollang is Yi Nan's eldest son, but his mother comes from a humble background, so he is not liked by Yi Nan.
In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty learned that the two sons of Yi Nan were competing for succession, and Li Shimin issued an edict to confer Lu Mang and Ba Zhuo as little khans, so that the two were on an equal footing.
Since then, Lu Mang has the capital to fight with Bazhuo on the surface, but in the eyes of Yi Nan and Xue Yantuo nobles, he is still from a humble background.
Therefore, Bazhuo led the troops to fight with the Turks and the Tang Dynasty several times, but Lu Mang could only watch.
This time, the spies he sent found out that Bazhuo had suffered a defeat in Changze, so he hurriedly ran to Yinan's sweat tent to report, but Yinan didn't believe it.
Even the news that there were spies reporting the defeat of Bazhuo was not believed at all.
Yi Nan sent him away, and summoned his nephew Tu Lishi to inquire about Li Simo's movements.
