Chapter 42: A Sigh (1)
Chapter 42 into a sigh
Very late, Li Wei came back, and after dinner, he had to review the recital.
Guan Wan'er said bitterly: "Your Majesty, don't work so hard. ”
"What you don't understand, the country's soldiers are not as far as the founding of the country, there are various reasons, and there is another place that people ignore, the martial atmosphere has declined. In the past, Wei Zheng and others said that Huaxia is the root, and Huyi is the branch and leaf. Not only wealth, but also soldiers. It is true that the casualties of the people of the Central Plains have been reduced by using Hu against Hu, but over time, the martial arts of the Central Plains people have decreased sharply, their combat effectiveness has declined, and the Hu people will become lighter and lighter, which is also a bad direction of development. The establishment of military affairs supervision and military affairs is not only to select and train generals, but also to enhance the martial arts of the whole people. ”
The martial arts of the Tang Dynasty was better than that of the Song Dynasty.
Even now, most of the young people on the streets are wearing a sword, swaggering through the market, and there are many incidents of fighting, and there is an unwritten consensus among the various officials that they should not be allowed to stop during the fight, which is immoral. To deal with it, you have to wait until they finish fighting, see if anyone is hurt, no one is hurt, laugh it off, someone is injured, and then arrest.
However, Li Shimin wisely realized that he could win the world with horses, but not with horses, and changed to Wenzhi, so the temple number was not Emperor Wu, but Emperor Taizongwen, and forcibly turned the country to a normal development track. But he himself has repeatedly emphasized the preparation of weapons, but many people misunderstood and thought that Wenzhi was everything, so as soon as Li Ji died, Li Zhi used the handsome indiscriminately, and even used Li Jingxuan as the commander of Qinghai. and the corruption of the government military system, and even many people tried to evade military service.
Still martial, but not as far as before.
It can also be seen on the battlefield that most of the Han soldiers and Tubo soldiers were not opponents of the Tubo soldiers. Therefore, Li Wei has been using a part of the Han soldiers and Han generals, this is polishing, and keeping the imperial court has a strong Han army, even if it is like his own family, the army of the Xianbei people is sinicized, which is the core strength of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin's reuse of Hu Jiang was a constraint on the heroes, but now he doesn't need it. It's time for correction.
For example, trees, branches and leaves lose their nutrients and can give feedback. We can't ignore the fundamental interests and infuse nutrients to the branches and leaves, and this tree will definitely die. If you want Wanhu to come to the dynasty, you have to be like the early Tang Dynasty, there is an army in the country that can be used as ten. Coupled with the population base and wealth, the Tang Dynasty can truly become a monster in this world
But don't dare to say it.
As he was talking, Pei Yuhe came in to report: "Your Majesty, great joy." ”
"What's the joy of?"
"The imperial doctor diagnosed, the wild lady is happy," he said, looking at Li Wei with a strange expression.
Li Wei has a number, and Pei Yuhe of the Lu family doesn't know, but there are several daughters in the East Palace, all of whom are from humble backgrounds, Xu Li is slightly better, but she is a daughter, Jiang Bier was born in a commoner, and Di Hui was born in the land of fireworks, but there is no such wild word Mingyue has a strange origin, a party member.
However, there was a little bit of relief in my heart. She didn't have it herself, this was pressure, so every time she took the turn, she was very active, and even put down her body frame and went back to her mother's house to ask her mother for some room surgery. I think it's good, but the women don't want to have a child, Li Wei is young, but he has to ask for it every night, and his body can't bear it, and the quality of the little tadpole is also very problematic, which reduces the possibility of everyone getting pregnant. Fortunately, Li Wei took the initiative to restrain himself, otherwise he might not even be able to have a child like Ye Ci Mingyue.
Li Wei was also stunned, and then said, "Go over and have a look." ”
……
It cooled down.
Soon after, the battle report reached Luoyang again.
Xiao Siye has won several battles, but there is a serious problem.
Early warning, this time the preparation is also more than the history, the garrison is relatively more, in addition, a large amount of grain, grass and weapons are sent to the Turkic garrison camp in advance. But it's not a defense, if you want to exterminate, and to exterminate the army, you have to fight everywhere, and the grain and grass will also be mobilized.
At the beginning, the Turks were beaten badly by the Tang Dynasty, and they were a little afraid, seeing that in the frontal battlefield, although the Tang army was small, its combat effectiveness was very strong, and coupled with the command of Xiao Siye, they hit the idea to the grain side. I can't beat you, I'll cut off your grain and grass. If it can be intercepted, it will be intercepted, and if it cannot be intercepted, it will be burned on the spot.
Having lost food and grass, Xiao Siye's army gradually became embarrassed.
Seeing the battle report, Li Wei unceremoniously replied, you are stupid, there is no food and grass, is there any enemy? That is, the enemy has no food, no cattle, horses and sheep, no pasta, and people will die if they eat meat. They all rebelled, every battle began, and one by one lives fell in a pool of blood, what kindness do you have to them? Moreover, how many troops do you have, and the Turkic tribes loyal to the Tang royal family, they do not exceed 20,000 or 30,000, not 200,000, and they cannot be sustained by captivity. After writing, he immediately sent it to Xiao Siye with a horse and speed.
Otherwise, don't delay until the imperial army sets out, it is very likely that within a month, Xiao Siye's army will be defeated. Then the war situation can spread to the border, and it will have a great hindrance to the entire military arrangement.
The letter was sent away, but Li Wei sighed.
Scolding is an attitude, but Li Wei can know Xiao Siye's inner thoughts.
The two ministers of the imperial court, one of whom was Pei Xingjian, said that Li Jing was going to enter the prime minister, which happened, but for the sake of the prime minister, Li Jing did not do very well. But what about Pei Xingjian? After so many years of selection in the Ministry of Officials, all the people who have been selected are qualified. Many suggestions were also made, some fine leather, very learned, born by a name. Whether in terms of merit, qualifications, or fame, he can serve as the prime minister. But the court has changed so many prime ministers, all of whom have nothing to do with Pei Xingjian.
The second is Xiao Siye, meritorious family background and qualifications, few people in the court can match, people like Jiang Ke can serve as the left minister, but Xiao Siye is more than sixty, and his soul is still in the desert.
The reason is very simple, Pei Xingjian offended his mother. Xiao Siye is a relative of Concubine Xiao Shu. Therefore, he acted cautiously and sparingly for fear that others would make a fuss about it. But this weakness, once magnified, is fatal on the battlefield.
And Li Wei faintly felt that after this battle, Xiao Siye could not finish his work.
The defeat of the Tang Dynasty in Monan sounded the clarion call for victory in the other direction.
Pei Xingjian's line is very bewitching, and it is even more colorful than the story in the romance. The army set off, the speed is very fast, and it cannot be delayed any longer. The old general is old and his heart is high, and he wants to rush back, and then make meritorious contributions to the Eastern Turks, anyway, there is a emperor alive in the past few years, and he doesn't want to be the prime minister, so it is better to make more military exploits and leave a name in history.
Then we arrived at the Moheyan Desert, where the wind and sand were raging, and the guide lost his way. In fact, Pei Xingjian later quietly told Li Wei the truth, he has been in Xizhou for several years, and he is familiar with the local terrain and climate. After going around a few big circles, the soldiers were hungry and thirsty, Pei Xingjian spoke, stopped the army to pay tribute to the sky, and then said to his subordinates: "The spring is not far away." ”
Just like a magic stick, everyone will be suspicious, soon after, the clouds dispersed, the army set off, went forward a short distance, sure enough, found a place with abundant water and grass, everyone was surprised, compared to the famous Han Dynasty second division general Li Guangli. It doesn't matter if you praise it, the main thing is morale, and thousands of soldiers have restored their confidence in Pei Xingjian. What else should we do? There are more than 100,000 soldiers under Ashina Duzhi and Li Shalu, and they can't deal with it without confidence.
Having regained confidence, the army immediately set off and went to Xizhou. It was also the middle of August, but in the desert Gobi region, the day was still very hot, and many envoys from small vassal states came to greet them, not all of them were determined to follow Li Shalu and wanted to rebel, and less than half of the departments in the Western Regions were now loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Then Pei Xingjian threatened in front of these people: "The weather is too hot to move forward, we have to garrison troops here, and if we set off again in late September, we will have to worry about the various departments." ”
The army is not large, only a few thousand people, and it is not very difficult for the various departments to provide for it, and the time is not long, a month. So they praised one after another. The army was stationed, just as the cantaloupe and grapes were ripe, eating sweet fruits, drinking authentic Western wine, and looking happy.
The slogan of this trip was to escort the king of Persia back to China, and when he saw Pei Xingjian like this again, Ashina Duzhi did not take any further precautions.
After a few days, the old general drank almost the same wine and ate the same fruit, and said to the various departments: "I want to hunt, which of you wants to join me?" ”
Pei Xingjian was an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he also heard that he was the emperor's teacher, and when he heard that he was going to hunt, one of these tribes did not pat his ass, and more than 10,000 people came to follow. Coupled with the army brought by Pei Xingjian, within a few days, it became more than 20,000 people. The army hunted everywhere at will, drank wine and ate meat at night, and sang and danced after eating. can actually hunt, Pei Xingjian is also arranging, how do you Zhang Moumou lead the department, from which direction to hunt, he, Li Moumou, led the department from that direction to encircle. A hunting process, more than 20,000 troops, let him skillfully integrate. Even the chiefs themselves did not know about this change.
is a very magical scene, no less than some fragments in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Anyway, if you let Li Wei do it, you will definitely not be able to do it.
Traveling everywhere, suddenly traveling lightly and quickly, this history is too mythical, the descendants are very curious, and it will be verified, Pei Xingjian took the route from Turpan to Urumqi Gorge, the ancient city of Changji, surrounded by mountains, if it is the speed of the march, it is difficult to find. Besides, Ashina Duzhi and Li Shaluo cannot be regarded as a real rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, which is different from the Eastern Turkic Xin quality, and has always been very preferential to the Western Turkic Tang Dynasty, and the Great Food and Tubo dealt with the Tang Dynasty very tacitly, and the Tubo fought for Qinghai and the Western Regions, and the Great Food fought for the Hanzhong region. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty allowed the Western Turks to retain the title of Khan in order to show their superiority. Even Wang Fangyi caught Li Shalu, and the Tang Dynasty also gave him a chance to repent and immediately released him.
The softness of this policy made Ashina Duzhi's rebellious heart not strong, and he was instigated by the Qinling Tomb to plot rebellion, but his mind was undecided, but he made an appointment with Li Shaluan to resist the Tang Dynasty envoys after the autumn. In addition, Pei Xingjian pretended to be doing well, and he was unprepared.
As a result, Pei Xingjian's more than 20,000 hunting team suddenly hit his home like a heavenly soldier descending from the gods.
Ashina didn't believe it, and sent someone to investigate, but he used to investigate, only a few miles away, Pei Xingjian's hunting army arrived at his camp, and Ashina was at a loss. Sitting in a daze, his cronies said, "Great Khan, escape." ”
"Where to run? Since the Tang Dynasty came to my mouth unknowingly, didn't they guard against me from escaping? ”
Well, that's smart.
