Chapter 81: The Expedition
Although Cheng Biting Jin's ten sets of armor are not as good as the gold armor rewarded by Li Shimin, they are definitely above average armor.
Qin Tian chose the best set and gave it to Hu Eighteen, and then gave the other sets to Qin Wu and them.
Qin Wu and the others were worried about having no armor, and when they saw Qin Tian giving them armor, they were all grateful.
Although they had not fought, they also knew how useful armor was for them on the battlefield.
Qin Tian gave them armor, which was equivalent to giving them a talisman, like regenerating parents.
"Brother Tian, we will follow you in the future."
"That's right, when we get to the battlefield, we will fight whatever you tell us to do."
“…………”
Qin Tian smiled lightly: "Your decision is right, follow me, keep it so that you can all live, and you can all make military achievements, I am here to say, listen to my orders, the benefits are indispensable to you, but if someone dares to disobey, then don't blame me Qin Tian is not polite." ”
When he went to the battlefield, the most taboo thing was those who did not obey orders, so although Qin Tian knew that what he said was a bit ugly, he still had to tell them about the situation in advance to avoid accidents on the battlefield in the future.
Fortunately, his actions had won the respect and favor of these strong men in Qinjia Village, so these people immediately responded.
After talking to the strong man of Qinjia Village like this, Qin Tian brought Fu Bo again.
"I'm afraid it will only take a few months to go, and you and your wife will help you a lot with the things in the house."
"Young master, don't worry, there is an old slave here, and there will definitely be no accident in the house."
Qin Tian bowed his head and said, "Fill me with some of the liquor that was just brewed, and I will take it away." ”
Hearing this, Fu Bo was stunned for a moment and said, "Young master, you have to bring wine when you go on the expedition, if this is discovered by the prince, I am afraid that I will not be able to spare you." ”
Qin Tian frowned: "If you want to put it on, you can put it on, why is there so much nonsense?" ”
Fu Bo was stunned and pursed his lips, but he still hurriedly responded.
After everything was ready, it was getting late, Qin Tian went back to his room to rest, 10,000 soldiers and horses Sun Wuji had already recruited enough, according to the news Qin Tian received, they would go on the expedition tomorrow.
Back in the bedroom, Tang Rong looked a little sullen.
"Xianggong is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, I really don't feel good about it."
Qin Tian smiled: "Madame is reluctant to me?" ”
Tang Rong was about to be angry when she saw that Qin Tian was still in the mood to make fun of him, but after looking up and seeing him, she thought that she would not be able to see him for the next few months, but this anger could not be born.
In the end, he could only nod shyly: "Xianggong knows and asks." ”
Qin Tian was amazed by Tang Rong's shyness, and suddenly pounced on her: "Since Madame is reluctant, how about making up for the past few months tonight?" ”
"Hate ......"
After a cloud and rain, both of them were drenched in sweat, Tang Rong lay on Qin Tian's chest, and after a long time, he said leisurely: "Xianggong, I can't bear you, you tell the prince, can you not go?" ”
She originally told herself that her husband was going to make a meritorious career and was looking for a marquis, and she should support her, but when it really happened, she was reluctant and worried.
She worries that this will be goodbye, and that she will never have a heart to rest in the future......
Qin Tian looked at Tang Rong, naturally understood her worries, and went to work hard by herself, how could Tang Rong feel at ease at home?
He scratched Tang Rong's nose and said with a smile: "Fool, how can you do it if you don't go, don't worry, this time your husband will definitely come back with a great contribution......"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Rong suddenly covered his mouth: "I don't want you to make any great achievements, as long as you can come back safely." ”
--------------------
Early the next morning, after the 10,000 troops were assembled, they left Chang'an City and marched in the direction of Lingzhou.
Qin Tian, as the captain of Xuanjie, although he was only a military officer, Li Shimin still assigned dozens of people from Qinjia Village to him, and found dozens of people from other places to make up enough for him to have a hundred subordinates.
Qin Tian took these hundred subordinates to follow behind the brigade and walked like this.
In ancient times, the road was narrow, and 10,000 people didn't sound like a lot, but with cavalry, plus supplies, etc., this team could be pulled up several miles.
If the people in the back want to run to the front to give orders, they may have to walk for half a pillar of incense.
When Qin Tian just left Chang'an City, he took his hundred soldiers to follow behind the team, only responsible for the escort of some materials or something, and he didn't go very fast.
And the cart of liquor he brought was also mixed in it, and no one noticed it.
Walking like this, nothing happened along the way.
However, a few days later, Li Shimin sent someone to call Qin Tian to the front.
The people who can follow Li Shimin are the people Li Shimin trusts the most, and the official positions held in the court are not low, such as Cheng Yanjin, such as the eldest grandson Wuji and others.
Of course, Li Shimin had two of the most important strategists around him, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, but when Li Shimin left Chang'an City, he was worried that someone would destroy his foundation in Chang'an, so he left Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui behind.
Now, there is only one eldest grandson Wuji who acts as his brainstorm.
They had been walking for several days, and they would be able to reach Lingzhou in about ten days, so Li Shimin decided to discuss countermeasures.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to arrive in Lingzhou, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Liang and Hou Sui are attacking our Tang army in the rear, how should we deal with it?"
After Li Shimin asked this question, a military general stood up and said: "Lord Wang, since Liang and Hou Sui colluded with the Turks to surround the prince's soldiers and horses, then we will attack from behind Liang, surround Liang and Hou Sui, and directly destroy them." ”
After the military general finished speaking, the others followed suit.
"Yes, destroy them."
"That is, that is, as long as they are destroyed, the prince's soldiers and horses will naturally be fine, and they can concentrate on attacking the Turkic army."
“…………”
Everyone said this, but the eldest grandson Wuji was silent, Li Shimin pondered slightly, and after a long time, he set his eyes on the most inconspicuous Qin Tian.
"Qin Tian, what do you think my army should do?"
Qin Tian was a Xuanjie lieutenant, the lowest official among these people, he didn't think about opening his mouth, and neither did anyone else, so when Li Shimin asked him, he was as shocked as everyone else.
However, Li Shimin asked, he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates feel that we should give up rescuing Lingzhou." ”
When these words came out, the other generals immediately shouted.
"Nonsense, our 10,000 soldiers and horses are just going to solve the dilemma in Lingzhou, how can we do it if we don't go to Lingzhou?"
"You ignorant boy doesn't know how to fight, so don't talk nonsense here, and go to the back to escort your grain and grass."
"Hmph, mistaken country......"
