However, it was not possible for Li Shichang to blindly slow down the progress of the war - the emperor also arranged for Niu Jinda to be the general manager of the Cheongqiu Road march, and set off from Jeju with a water division. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There will always be a comparison between the land and water, if the head of the cattle has already made a lot of gains on the sea road, and he is still hanging on the road here, maybe His Majesty the Emperor should be more careful.

Li Shichang asked the spies to detect the movements of the Qingqiu Dao Navy in time, and he responded to the opportunity. In terms of the situation, it is enough not to advance and not fall behind. In addition, the army still allowed him to make a little calculation.

No one dares to provoke a bee with a sting, and a horse has no horns and everyone can ride. In the emperor's place, you have to let him know that the generals of the early Tang Dynasty were ruined and withered, and the old and dead were still inseparable from him Li Shiyun in some major matters.

And with Gao Jun, the new secretary of the military department, he can't let him be idle, and there is too little Shangshu in his eyes.

He instructed, "Report our military situation here to the military department: the army has passed the Yalushui and is steadily advancing, and the army has reached the area of Pengshan and Yaoshan." As long as you go south along the river, you can deter the enemy Anzhou City. The army is in urgent need of 4,000 horses, and it is hoped that it will raise ......"

As soon as the 4,000 military horses are drawn, I am afraid that the two pastures in Yingzhou and Youzhou will be demoted, and there will be no need to do anything by themselves when the time comes, and the two herdsmen and herdsmen will have problems for Gao Jun.

Besides, he Gao Jun only showed up on the Liao River last time, and he was to the east...... But does he know where the tent mountain and the medicine mountain are? Hum!

Datang has been promoted for a long time, and the military power has spread far and wide, and it has always been Datang who beats others, and others dare not fight Datang.

But anyone dares to come to the military department to sit down, and for a time it is magnificent, majestic, and has many benefits, as if it has no impact on the overall situation. But the layman's order, I'm afraid it's self-destruction of the Great Wall!!

British Gong Li Shiyun no longer thought about this, and waited for Gao Jun's reaction with peace of mind.

The tent was set up on the top of Yaoshan Mountain, and in the middle of the night, occasionally a small group of Goryeo men and horses approached to harass, and when the Tang army attacked, it disappeared without a trace.

This place is a carefully selected place for Li Shichang to be stationed, with a wide view. Regardless of any movement of the enemy, there is the necessary time to react, and it can also monitor the movements of the Goryeo army from a high position, putting great pressure on the enemy.

However, the situation in the past few days has shown that Goryeo's important forces at this time are used to deal with Silla in the south, and Goryeo does not seem to be fully prepared for this attack by the Tang Dynasty.

The enemy Anzhou City not far away was like a big enemy, but it only tightened its fortifications and only sent a small group of men and horses to test it. Overnight, the light cavalry of the Tang Army made several sorties in succession to deal with enemy disturbances, with stirrups hitting and horses neighing, a military scene.

……

Li Shiyun really expected things like a god.

The two ranches in Youzhou and Yingzhou were a little reluctant to carry out the orders of the military department secretary and the chief pastor. The chief shepherd let the two herding horses be used to deliver grain, which is not the same as the official who dismissed them!

Yingzhou Zhongmu Supervisor Cheng was very dissatisfied, "dumping two herding horses", he said lightly, what did I do when the horses were cleaned! When will it be this kid's turn to call the shots!

Three years ago, Gao Jun was still a deputy pastor supervisor in Xizhou, and he was four steps shorter than himself.

Cheng Chuli stood still, and the secret Dao Yingzhou Ranch was at least six or seven hundred miles closer than the Youzhou Ranch, and he had time to wait and see. He just wanted to see how Tang Jiqing, the pastoral supervisor of Youzhou, would deal with Gao Jun, and he would act as he could when he saw the opportunity.

Tang Jiqing is the youngest brother of Tang Jian, the secretary of the Tang Rite Department, and he is fifty-six years old this year. Lord Cheng decided to take a look at what Tang Jiqing should do.

After Gao Jun gave the order, as soon as he came back, Li Daozong told Gao Jun about the origin of Cheng Chuli and Tang Jiqing, and Gao Jun was taken aback.

Because their origins are not small. Cheng Chuli is the son of Cheng Zhijie, the general of Zhenguo and Lu Guogong, but he is not a descendant, he was born to the fourth concubine of Lu Guogong, who is four years old today and Chinese New Year's Eve thirty years old.

Behind Tang Jiqing stood Tang Jian, who was the younger brother of Tang Jian, the Duke of Juguo.

Tang Jian is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is also a positive third product like Gao Jun. But according to the ranking of "salute first and then soldier", Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, must at least be ranked in front of Gao Jun.

And Cheng Zhijie and Tang Jian are both figures who rank among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, with high and powerful positions, and their qualifications are not comparable to ordinary people.

Gao Jun realized that he was in front of Li Ji in the forage field, and this order was a little abrupt.

In case these two people don't do anything, and they don't bring him a horse, then how can he, the newly appointed secretary of the military department and the chief pastor of the Tang Dynasty, put his face on it? Where to stay? Is there any way to counter it?

You must know that the backstage of these two people is a first-class figure of the national prince who is on an equal footing with his grandfather Ge Lao, and the Ge Lao is deceased, and these two are still alive.

And they are all the kind of people who want to see the emperor, can enter the palace immediately, and leave with their legs raised, and the emperor is unlikely to close the door to them.

In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, when the order of the Taifu Temple was carried out and the 3,000 war horses of the Puchang Ranch were collected to go to the front line in Liaodong, a pastor of Puchang Hao who had no background, he dared to delay against Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Xizhou at that time, which shows that it is not authentic to empty a ranch.

Li Daozong said that this Tang was frugal and a little dissolute. In the early years, Tang Jian served as the head of the household department, and once played Go with the emperor, Tang Jian took the lead in the layout. The emperor wanted to take a step, but Tang Jian even held down His Majesty's hand and chess pieces together, but he didn't let him move.

Tang Jian also said in front of many palace maids and close attendants, "Your Majesty, playing chess is playing chess, Your Majesty has a wide range of worlds, how can you be so stingy, if you teach chess, simply admit defeat." ”

The emperor was so angry that he smashed the jade plate in his hand to the ground, and then demoted Tang Jian to the governor of Tanzhou.

Li Daozong said, "Tanzhou, do you know? A central governor's office. Because of playing a game of chess, Tang Jian was reduced from the third rank to the fifth grade! ”

"And then?" Gao Jun asked.

"The emperor is not finished, and said to Wei Chi Jingde in private, 'Tell me if there are any accusations against this Tang Jian from the outside?' As long as Wei Chi Jingde made up one or two, Tang Jian would not even be able to save his life under the emperor's anger. ”

Li Daozong said, "It's just that Lord Wei Chi only talked about the emperor when he faced it, but when he was confronted, he insisted from beginning to end that he didn't hear the accusations against Tang Jian from the outside. The Emperor gave up. It can be seen that Tang Jian is coarse and coarse, but his popularity is still good, no, he has become a secretary of the Ministry of Rites again. ”

Seeing that Gao Jun was silent, Li Daozong smiled and said, "What? It's a big deal that this king will go with you, and the two guys in Youzhou and Yingzhou still have to give this king some face. ”

Gao Jun is a little grateful to Li Daozong, not to mention what the trend of Youying Ranch is, whether Li Daozong needs to come forward, but people have this sentence, it is affection.

Li Daozong said, "Lord Gao, last time in Ezhou, you solved the problem of shipbuilding for this king, and went to Yazhou alone to deal with the difficult Li Daojue for this king, this affection is remembered by this king!" ”

As he spoke, the military report from the Goryeo front arrived.

The military department has the right to read it first, and then decide at its discretion whether it will be submitted to the emperor. After reading it, Gao Jun's face became more and more gloomy.

Li Daozong hurriedly asked for details. Gao Jun said, "The British Duke is not idle in front of me, for fear that I have nothing to do!" He asked for four thousand horses. ”

Li Daozong was puzzled and said, "There is an unwritten convention in the Tang Dynasty, where a general goes out to fight, he leads 20,000 troops, and the cavalry accounts for three-tenths. The total strength of Liaodong Province this time is 40,000, and there are already 12,000 cavalry, why do you need 4,000? How many men do 16,000 cavalry need to provide food and grass!? ”

Obviously, this is a problem for the British princess. A cavalryman must have four servants to ensure supplies, and 10,000 horsemen must have 40,000 servants.

With the current situation, Gao Jun still wants to draw all the horses in the Youying Ranch to transport grain and grass, and if another 4,000 cavalry are added, not to mention Gao Jun, the logistics supply, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, will not be able to do it - there is not even a horse left.

Besides, where did Gao Jun find so many war horses for a while?

Li Daozong took it and looked at it, and said angrily, it is understandable that Cheng Chuli and Tang Jiqing have some tricks, but Li Shichang is a national prince, so you shouldn't make it so difficult!

"According to the king, it is just right to play Your Majesty, let him see who the military department secretary he has left is!"

After thinking about it carefully, Gao Jun said no, such a trivial matter would also trouble His Majesty the Emperor, and it would be too obvious that the new military secretary could not deal with anything.

Li Daozong said, "This is not a big deal, the military situation is a big deal, you are facing at least three grandfathers of the country, you are not a big deal!" ”

Gao Jun snorted, "What a big deal! Piece of cake! ”

He slapped the military report on the table and continued to drink.

Li Daozong was incredulous, "Brother! These are the three princes! Not three crabs! Three crabs are a big dish! ”

Gao Jun took a sip of wine and said disapprerovitically, "But I have a plate of big dishes that have been served yet, and the three crabs are really not a big deal." ”

Li Daozong asked, what kind of dish?

Gao Jun said, "A plate of princes." With that, he got up slightly drunk and went to sleep.

Li Daozong stared at Gao Jun leaving, sitting there for a long time without moving, anxious for him.

There is a way that the military situation is like fire, and there can be no delay for half a minute, in case there is any mistake in the front-line war, or even any loss, Li Shiqian bit back and said that the logistics are unfavorable, not to mention Gao Jun, even he can't afford it.

And the focus of the problem is in the word "horse", according to Gao Jun's order, within one day, the horses of the two pastures of Youying and Ying will arrive. Now it's almost dark, and the two herds don't even move at all.

Li Daozong felt that he couldn't hold down the table because of his dish.

He picked up the front-line military newspaper signed by the British Duke Li Shichang on the table, and found that the soup on the table had been soaked.

……

Tang Jiqing, the pastoral supervisor of Youzhou, was not very satisfied when he received Gao Jun's order.

In the past, when the pastor returned to the Taifu Temple, the officials of the Taifu Temple came to Youzhou Farm, who dared not to give Youzhou Mu some face!

Even if His Majesty personally begged Goryeo in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, no one said how to "pour all the good horses".

As soon as the pastoral government returned to the military department, there was so much to do! Pull the air at every turn!? In less than three years, even the shepherd will not be found.

Tang Jiqing knew that it was Gao Jun, the new secretary of the military department, who gave the order, and he was still the chief pastor of the Tang Dynasty, so he should be in charge of himself. But he also wants to take a look at the movements of the Yingzhou Ranch Cheng Chuli.

If Cheng moves immediately, he will move again, anyway, he is far away, and there is an excuse for being late.

That's it, the pastors of the two major pastures in Youzhou and Yingzhou, you look at me, I look at you, it has been delayed for half a month, and no one has moved.

At first, the two of them were a little worried, and they didn't know how Gao Jun was going to be thunderous in Yingzhou.

But in the end, they heard that Gao Jun was in Yingzhou, drinking and having fun with Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, every day, but they didn't react at all, and they slowly put their hearts in their stomachs.

Yingzhou Pastoral Superintendent Cheng said secretly, "But that's it! You are just a gentleman in Gaofu, giving orders in Xizhou, and no one dares to refuse, thinking that everywhere is Xizhou? ”

Tang Jiqing, the pastoral supervisor of Youzhou, believes that Gao Jun is a little too ignorant of the sky and the earth. At least Gao Jun is not only the secretary of the military department, but also the newly appointed chief pastor of the Tang Dynasty, and it is too imprudent to give the order to empty the two pastures.

Tang Jiqing even thought that if he was in his position, he would at least have a conversation with the pastoral supervisors of the two middle pastors in advance. This is both obvious and old-fashioned.

If they had drawn within a thousand horses from each of the two pastures, would they have done so? Who doesn't have an enlightenment!

But he's good, there's no one in his big mouth and one eye, and the result is that there is no one in the eyes of others. With Lu Guogong and Ju Guogong standing there, what can you do to us?

It's really troublesome to go to the Golden Palace, how good-looking you are before I see you Gao Jun, but it seems that you can't preside over big things!

Later, someone revealed a small piece of information to Cheng Chuli, saying that the British Duke Li Shixun was urging 4,000 military horses in front, but Gao Jun ignored it until half a month later.

In this way, what Gao Jun has to face is no longer the two grandfathers of the country, but three.

Who doesn't know the urgency of the military situation? But after half a month, Gao Jun can not take action like this, at least he should come to visit the two pastoral supervisors of Youying and Yingying. As long as the two pastoral supervisors nod, in fact, any major matter can be solved.

Tang Jiqing believes that Gao Jun is a thin donkey pulling hard dung - the legs are soft and strong.

If the front urges again, it is estimated that Gao Jun should put down the shelf of the military department and beg them.

One day, two days, three days. Gao Jun didn't move.

Five days, six days, and half a month have passed, and Gao Jun has not moved.

But they successively received news that Li Ji, the nephew of the British Gong Li Shixian, who had been taught by Gao Jun in the Yingzhou forage field last time, did not even pull away a cart of grain and grass. But he had already set off to return to the front with his own team and two large carts, which he didn't know - not food and grass anyway.

This makes people deeply puzzled, which one is Gao Jun doing?! Just wait for the British Duke Li Shichang to write a recital from the front, and join him at His Majesty's place!

Pasture, Gao Jun does not move, ahead, he can no longer supply. It is difficult for Gao Jun to file a lawsuit.

If you really want to participate in it, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the emperor to do it - can you still bring the families of the two princes to justice?

Even if the emperor didn't consider the feelings of the important ministers at all, and brought to justice the son of Lu Guogong and the brother of Ju Guogong - but what about after the justice?
