The official position of Shuai is in the Tang Dynasty, and it is generally held by the prince and prince. For example, Li Shimin, the famous Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, once served as the marshal of the Western Expedition. However, unlike the permanent official positions such as generals and generals, marshals are created in wartime, and if there is no war, the so-called marshal is no different from ordinary military generals.

Just smashed down a Liangzhou governor from the sky and smashed Li Xian's head, and at this time, he suddenly smashed down a Liangzhou Road marching marshal, even Li Xian couldn't help but feel dizzy.

"Are you serious?"

"Nonsense, the people from Luoyang have just arrived at the city gate, Xiao Xue happened to wander there, how could there be a mistake with the good news he heard with his own ears? You hurry up and go out and prepare, Xiao Xue said that people are probably going to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion! ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Xian rushed out, and Cheng Bohu stood there with a smile, and then turned around after him. When his father was leaving, he warned him angrily that the imperial court would definitely not use troops in the northwest, but if he did not use troops, what would he send the marshal of the Liangzhou Road march? He Cheng Bohu has studied martial arts for so many years, isn't it just to go into battle to kill his mother, otherwise would he be fighting with an axe all day long?

Dedication, this time I, Cheng Bohu, can take the lead from you!

Within ten days, two groups of messengers were ushered in, which was not very uncommon for the Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, and what was rare was the specification of the message. Several subordinate officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, who have been floating in the sea for many years, heard that it was another group of messengers, and while they were busy arranging, they couldn't help but have some opinions in their hearts - whether to fight or not to fight the imperial court has already made a decision, why do you make so many false documents?

However, when these officials saw the arrival, they were all shocked. The old man with gray sideburns is the most familiar to everyone, and it is the Duke of Yu Guo, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, Qi Bi He Li. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin subdued many generals in the past, the most famous of which were Ashina Shier, Zhi Zhi Si Li and Qi Qi He Li. Ashinasher and Insane Sili have both died. Although it is almost twilight, he still never says old.

Li Xian was also stunned when he saw He Li, he was Li Ji's apprentice. Liao Ruo knew the military's plans on the issue of the Eastern Crusade. Qi Bi He Li was the chief general of the vanguard army in the original Dingdi, and he was going to serve as the head of the march of Liaodong Road in the future, why was he suddenly sent to this northwest as a messenger? Just as he was thinking this, he saw someone suddenly flash out from behind Qi Qi He Li, smiling at him brightly.

"Dedicated?"

This time he was really taken aback, and Li Jingye took two steps forward in a big way, nodded to Qi Qi He Li with a smile, and suddenly took out a yellow silk scroll like a trick, and said seriously: "His Royal Highness King Yong." The minister came to the west this time to deliver the decree on the orders of His Majesty. ”

Cheng Bohu only heard from Xue Dingshan that Li Xian was appointed as the marshal of the Liangzhou Road March, but he didn't expect that there would be such a group of people, so he stood aside at this time and hit Xue Dingshan with his elbow, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xue." Why didn't you say that dedication is also coming? ”

"You didn't ask me!"

Xue Dingshan's words choked Cheng Bohu speechless. But he was there staring at Qi Bi He Li. His father, Xue Rengui, has been selected for the vanguard list since he was selected. once mentioned to him that the first wave of the vanguard army of the Eastern Expedition to Liaodong. It must be based on the strength of the contract. So. As soon as he saw the veteran, he instinctively felt that this one was definitely more than just a messenger. Sure enough, it was Li Jingye who was responsible for delivering the message!

Dugu Qingyun and Xin Wenling were hurriedly called to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and when they heard that Luoyang had come again, and they were all excited and apprehensive. After Li Jingye read the holy decree aloud, the two of them barely jumped on the spot.

A prince was appointed as the marshal of the march, and a meritorious veteran such as Qibi He Li was appointed as the deputy marshal, although the strength of the army was only 40,000, but this was of great significance. It's going to be a war, it's really going to be a war!

As early as listening to the lengthy prose, Li Xian recovered from his initial excitement. Standing up and taking over the heavy holy decree, Qi Bi He Li stepped forward to join the military salute, he hurriedly dragged the veteran up, and said with a smile: "In the past, General Qi Bi danced his sword at the banquet, and I still haven't forgotten that heroic posture, I don't want to be able to fight side by side one day, it's really fortunate." ”

The main event of the imperial court is the Eastern Crusade, and as for the war in the west, more people think that it is just to accompany the prince to study...... No, it should be a child's trick to accompany the prince to study. If you are someone else, you will definitely have a grudge against this kind of appointment that is like moving to the left, and Qi Bi He Li is famous for his open-mindedness, Li Xian respects him for three points, and he respects him even more for nine points.

Gently brushing the neat gray beard, he smiled and said humbly: "I, an old bone who has been fighting horses for half my life, where can I talk about any heroic posture, thanks to Your Majesty's belief that as the deputy of His Highness, I will do my best." General Dugu and General Xin both worked together that day, and this time they will be biased! ”

He pointed to Li Jingye while saying,

With deep praise, he said to the generals: "This is Lord Sikong's Changjian who is promoted to the general of the family, and when he heard that there was a war in the northwest, he automatically asked for help." Don't look at his decree this time, there is another person in the place where he handed the decree, he brought ten guards this time, and he will stay in Liangzhou to supervise the grain! ”

Li Jingye is actually crazy together!

When Li Xian heard this, he couldn't help but glare at Li Jingye, and he was really helpless in his heart. The Eastern Crusade is a sure victory, he has already agreed with the old fox Li Ji, let Li Jingye go with the army to gild, and when the time comes, a serious sixteen Wei Zhonglang will definitely arrive, and there will be nothing to say if he wants to promote others in the future. The situation in the northwest is very unpredictable, if there is a national mobilization in Tibet, it is absolutely no problem to gather more than 100,000 people, where is this battle so easy to fight?

didn't do anything about being promoted, but insisted on going to Liangzhou to join in the fun, this Li Jingye is really like him, he is crazy!

Although Li Ji is in a state of semi-retirement, he is still the first person in the military, so everyone has a good impression of Li Jingye taking the initiative to invite Ying to come to the northwest, and He Li who took the initiative to do a personal deed naturally narrowed the relationship with everyone. While the crowd was in a mess, a sergeant suddenly rushed in.

"Report, Tubo sent troops to attack Tuyuhun, broke the Tuyuhun front army, and is still advancing north!"

This Honghua princess has only been gone for a few days, and she is moving so fast! Although he knew that Tuyuhun must not be Tubo's opponent now, Li Xian was still frightened by the rapid movement of the Tubo army, and in an instant, the atmosphere that had just been a little chaotic because of the arrival of Qibi He Li and Li Jingye suddenly calmed down, and most people looked at Qibi He Li, and Qibi He Li glanced at Li Xian.

"Tuyuhun is newly defeated, and the morale is completely lost, Khan Nuo Haobo and others must go to Datang for help, so that the state can take them first."

Although Li Xian said that Tuyuhun was too unbeaten, but this should have to be mentioned, seeing that Qibi He Li was also nodding, he pondered for a moment, and then said to the old general: "General Qibi, the military situation is urgent, it is better to gather the generals who are now in Liangzhou to meet immediately, first report the internal and external news, and then make a decision." However, Liangzhou Prefecture, Taozhou, Ganzhou, and other places must immediately enter emergency alert, first, to prevent spies, and second, to facilitate future decisions on advance and retreat. ”

For a while, the entire Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion immediately became operational. The civil officials began to calculate which territory they needed to demarcate near Liangzhou if the Tuyuhun people were annexed, and the generals began to send their own soldiers back to inform their subordinates. The new official took office with three fires, although Qi Qi He Li is not the kind of chief general who is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and Li Xian does not seem to be a prince who is not responsible, but if he is caught at this time, it will be boring.

On the eve of the real combat meeting, Li Xian and He Li, the two marshals were looking at the map there. The Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was originally to prevent Tubo and Tuyuhun, and people repeatedly entered and exited Tubo, and the map had considerable accuracy, but it was still difficult to reach the level of a high-proportion wall map.

"Since Your Majesty has decided to come to Tuyuhun's aid, then you can't just take a passive defensive position. Tubo probably thinks that my Tang Dynasty is bent on the eastward crusade and has no intention of caring about him, so he must beat them hard! Only by letting them know that our Tang Dynasty is invincible, like the time when Hou Junji defeated Tubo in the past, can we keep peace for decades! ”

Qi Bi He Li said this categorically, and Li Xian next to him bowed slightly: "Although I have studied the art of war and martial arts with the British public school for many years, it is the first time I have really come to the battle formation after all. In the general direction, General Lauche will take it, and I only have one thing to say, that is, we must put an end to the general's contention! Taking herdsmen as pawns for the sake of merit, rushing forward in disregard of the strategy of the whole army for the sake of merit, and even plundering such things, these may lead to defeat before the battle is decided! ”

"The general direction is that His Highness and I will jointly refer to it, but His Highness's later mention is exactly what I want!"

As soon as he heard this, his heart fell to the ground safely, and when he heard Li Xian's words, he was even more emotional. In the past, Li Jing was so meritorious, he was accused that when he was fighting the Turks, he plundered the army, and there was still no good fruit to eat, where is it like today's military discipline? And now those generals, all of them are afraid that they will rush forward as if they have no fight, if they do not enforce military discipline, they are afraid that this battle will be more difficult to fight.

The fact that the winner plunders the loser is the principle of the jungle, but how to rob and plunder, it is very interesting. Now that he had reached an agreement with He Li, Li Xian smiled and said a few more compliments, but he was thinking about how to carry out an organized and disciplined raid.

The cost of this war is so large, how can I not find a way to solve it when the time comes, and the treasury is not a bottomless pit!
