Chapter 24 The Expedition is Imminent

This expedition against the Eastern Turks Li Er can be regarded as a bloody investment.

The troops were divided into six routes to exterminate the Eastern Turks. Li Jing, the acting prince of the military department, was the general manager of the march on Dingxiang Road, and Chi Jingde, the lieutenant of the Hubei state, was the deputy general, leading the Chinese army to advance to Yunzhong and Mayi; and the governor of the state, the British Duke Li Ji, was the head of the march of the Tongmo Road...... More than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the six-route army attacked the Turks in separate ways under Li Jing's general section... Tang Taizong's war to destroy the Eastern Turks began.

In this battle, Cheng Yanjin was the deputy head of the march of Heng'an Road, and the head was the inspector of Youzhou, the governor of Youzhou.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Jing stayed awake all night, but this time Li Shimin poured the strength of the whole country into the elite children of Guanzhong! The generals of the DPRK and China are almost out of the nest, and Li Jing, as the chief of the six provinces, is responsible for the various armies, and the pressure he was under when the army was dispatched can be imagined.

Li Jing, who was meditating on the battle situation in the big tent, was suddenly startled by the sound of horses' hooves outside, and was about to ask someone. I saw a pegasus coming and rolling off the saddle after a sharp stop, and hurriedly walked into the big tent. After seeing Li Jing, he saluted and shouted: "The chief manager, the general of the right military guard, Cheng Biting Jin, is in a hurry to report the order, and the small one will be delivered!" ”

When Li Jing heard that it was Cheng Yanjin's urgent report, he couldn't help but wonder, what kind of urgent report did this unsparing old horseman have when he saw that the army was about to go to battle?

After Li Jing temporarily suppressed the suspicion and took the urgent report from the sergeant, he looked shocked after reading a few lines. However, Li Jing tried his best to suppress the surprise, and after carefully reading the documents sent by Cheng Yanjin, this generation of famous marshals known as the "God of War" in the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but exclaim: "God bless the Tang Dynasty!" This battle will be won! ”

However, Li Jing was the god of war after all, and soon he calmed down, and after thinking for a while, he quickly wrote on the case, and after a while, he ordered a lieutenant to say: "Go and report to Your Majesty quickly, and say that Li Jing has an urgent report, and this battle will be won!" ”

After the captain was ordered to beat the horse and gallop away, Li Jing also ordered someone to bring the war horse and run towards the camp of Cheng Biting Jin with some guards!

In the camp of the right guard, Cheng Biting Jin Zheng ordered someone to check the hooves of the war horse.

Fang Cai Cheng bit the gold and beat the horse and galloped to the rocky beach by the river, and rode a war horse on the rocky beach for half an hour, if there was no war horse with a horseshoe, the horse's hooves must have been seriously worn. And the hooves of this war horse with nailed shoes are almost not worn, and the shoes are very strong. Cheng Yanjin also felt that the grip of the war horse was stronger, and the sprint force on the flat ground was even stronger!

Just as Cheng Biting Jin lifted it up and fell asleep, Wang Xingxin shouted loudly: "Why didn't you offer this method earlier!" You know what that means! How much money does my Datang spend every year for that war horse! You bastard! Why are you so cowardly and afraid of the Wang family! What a bastard! If it weren't for your great achievements, you would have been twenty military sticks! ”

Before Li Jing entered the tent, he heard Cheng Biting Jin's roar! Thinking that something was wrong, he shouted outside the tent: "Zhijie! What's the roar?

Cheng Yanjin saw that Li Jing was coming, and after making a standard military salute, he pointed at Wang Xingxin and said to Li Jing: "Back to the general manager, I will be scolding this bastard boy!" It's the horseshoe that this bastard offered and the cure for injuries! ”

Li Jing looked at Wang Xingxin, who was lying on the ground humming: "Since you have made such a great achievement, why do you reprimand?" ”

Cheng Yanjin pulled Li Jing aside and began to mumble, and pointed at Wang Xingxin from time to time.

After Li Jing listened to Cheng Biting Jin's words, he looked at Wang Xingxin with a smile and said, "Hey! Sure enough, it's a bastard boy! Zhijie, since you bastard can't stand this bastard, then this bastard will be handed over to you to discipline! I also hope that the Zhijie will be disciplined, otherwise if such unscrupulous nonsense is not known, I don't know what trouble will be caused! ”

"What Senior Brother Yao said is extremely true! My second brother Qin and the others still don't know about this kid, and if they knew, they would have to give a good beating! It's just that this kid has been beaten twice by the old man, and he can't go to the army, do you think it's better to have a carriage for the pharmacist? Although my medical officers have learned his method of healing injuries in this battle, it is better for this bastard boy to accompany the army! ”

"Zhijie is right! It is equipped with a carriage, and Zhijie will arrange a few more generals to protect it. Don't bother with this bastard just yet! Zhijie took me to see the war horse first, and after confirming it, he immediately issued this method to all armies in the name of this governor and ordered the blacksmiths of the army to build it urgently! If the materials are not enough, they will be requisitioned on the spot! And the medicinal herbs used to heal the wounds were sent down at the same time! ”

After that, he no longer paid attention to Wang Xingxin, who was lying on the ground, and took the war horse that Cheng Jin's riding order to raise the horse's hooves and look at it carefully for a while, then turned over and galloped out of the horse.

After a while, Li Jing came back from beating the horse and said excitedly to Cheng Yanjin: "Zhijie! Great goodness! Ha ha! God bless the Tang Dynasty! In this battle, the old man has three more points to grasp! ”

"Senior Brother Yao still doesn't know."

"Oh? What else? ”

"I don't know if Senior Brother Yao still remembers the secret method of making salt offered by Wang Jianfei, the grandson of Wang Gui's second son in the court that day?"

"Of course, remember, that secret method allows my army to never use that unpalatable vinegar cloth again! What is in the west of the river is the poisonous salt! Don't? ....”

"The pharmacist is really smart! That method of making salt is exactly what the Wang family took from this bastard! ”

"Zhijie, don't be angry! The matter will be decided until the army comes triumphantly! Do you understand?! ”

"Zhijie understands!"

"Okay, after Zhijie settles that kid, hurry up and reorganize the army, and I'm about to go on the expedition!"

After Li Jing left, Cheng Biting Jin ordered Cheng An to call a few generals of the Cheng family, and asked people to call Da Niu and other four people, and arranged a carriage and four people.

"Uncle Cheng, why don't you let Brother Cheng An follow the kid to escort?"

"Bastard! Cheng An is the captain of Xuanjie and the grain officer! Carrying a heavy responsibility! To defend you bastard? These are also my own soldiers, give you this bastard or see your great achievements and your uncle's face! Don't be verbose, hurry up and get ready to go on the expedition! ”

In the Taiji Palace of Chang'an City, the current emperor Li Shimin has not slept peacefully, and a few butter giant candles illuminate the Taiji Palace transparently. Li Shimin was looking at the two documents. The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others who were kneeling next to him waited for Li Shimin to speak.

"Wuji, Xuanling, you wait to see the two urgent reports sent by the pharmacist and Zhijie first."

After that, the chamberlain standing aside handed the two urgent reports to several important ministers who had also stayed awake all night. After Cheng Biting Jin's document, Wei Zheng suddenly stood up with tears in his eyes after reading it.

"Your Majesty, please forgive your ministers for the crime of dishonorment! The minister really learned that the old people of Wagang were still crying with joy! If the minister had followed Prince Xi's affair back then, the minister would not have left angrily! Please! ”

"Wei Zheng! Get up! Alas! This Liu Lao Er, when he was with Shubao, after they surrendered, I remembered that he and Shubao were charging forward in every battle, and they were brave! It is always to protect Shubao, which allows Shubao to rest assured that he can go straight to the enemy's army! Capture the flag! I am very sorry that he disappeared after the conquest of Liu Heimin! I didn't expect to live in seclusion near Chang'an. It seems that this person is very affectionate! What else does Wei Zheng want? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! My late son and nephew are now in General Cheng's army, and I think General Cheng will take more care of them. I offered two more plans, and I made a great contribution and asked for nothing! ”

"What about Mowgli? What is your opinion on this matter? ”

"Your Majesty, since the matter of treating the wounded soldiers has that kid in the army, I must know that the festival will be properly arranged, but I just ordered Li Jing to build a wounded barracks in the rear of Hexi, so that the wounded soldiers can be concentrated and the kid will be responsible for managing and dispatching. And let that kid have a group of available medical officers from the emergency training department to be assigned to the various armies. It's just that the horseshoe thing is now trying its best to build it, and it can't catch up with the army that is about to go out, and I don't know how many war horses will be consumed on this march! If only it had been a few days earlier! ”

"Your Majesty, what the eldest grandson said is extremely true! The matter of wounded soldiers only needs a handwritten letter from His Majesty, presumably General Cheng will definitely arrange it properly, but the matter of this war horse, alas! It's a little late, though! But it's still in a hurry! ”

"Oh? What is Xuan Ling's plan? ”

"Your Majesty, although it was not explained in the emergency report of the chief of Li Jing, the minister thought that he must have made arrangements to notify the commanders of the armies of all roads, and His Majesty issued an edict ordering all states and counties along the way to requisition iron materials on the spot and arrange some blacksmiths to enter the army urgently! Presumably, less than half of the march of the army will be able to nail the horseshoe of the whole army. It's just that there is no guarantee that the secrets will not be leaked, and those blacksmiths can only stay in the army! Your Majesty should also give a lenient reward! ”

"Haha! A good plan for Xuan Lingduan! I will win this battle! ”

"Ministers drink it for Your Majesty! Datang will win! ”
