Chapter 232: The First Responsibility
Li Shimin said leisurely: "By the way, it's you." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Well, you're sixteen years old, which is exactly one year younger than Huo Quai. ”
"Huo Qubing is good at riding and shooting, flexible in the use of troops, pays attention to strategy, does not stick to ancient methods, is brave and decisive, and is good at long-distance running, rapid raids and big detours, and large interspersed operations. In the first battle, at the age of seventeen, he led 800 horsemen to penetrate hundreds of miles into the enemy's territory, killing the Huns and scattering and fleeing. In the two battles of Hexi, Huo Qubing broke the Xiongnu, captured the Xiongnu and sacrificed Tianjin, and took Qilian Mountain. In the battle of Mobei, Huo Qu was sick and sealed the wolf Juxu and returned victorious. You have the longevity of Huo Qu's disease, but you don't have the shortness of Huo. Huo Qubing went hundreds of miles deep into the enemy territory, how could you be weaker than him? ”
Li Shimin's words without the slightest joke made Qin Feng stay stunned for a while. I didn't quite understand what Li Shimin meant, or I didn't dare to believe my ears. He understood what Li Shimin meant: it was nothing more than saying that he was as good as Huo Quai.
Same as Huo Qu's disease?
Such an evaluation can be described as ridiculously high, Qin Feng is extremely embarrassed, he knows his own affairs, and he has a lot of ghost ideas, but he can lead an army alone and participate in this battle related to the future of Datang, he doesn't seem to have this kind of qualification and ability. As the emperor, Li Shimin actually gave such a major matter to a sixteen-year-old boy, which was really a bit ridiculous, so much so that Qin Feng couldn't believe his ears.
Li Shimin attaches great importance to this upcoming war, which is by no means a momentary whim, but a decision made after careful consideration, for six reasons:
First, the Turkic civil strife, the combat power is not as good as before.
Second, when the war broke out, Li Jing and Li Ji supported one left and one right, plus Qin Feng's own conspiracies and tricks, even if it was useless, he would not have it.
Third, the Tiger Ben Army is the most elite soldier selected from the twelve guards, and after the cavalry is paired with the cavalry three treasures, the combat effectiveness is only higher than that of the Turkic warriors, even if it is a frontal battle, it is also invincible, and it is a pity that such an army is not used in this battle.
Fourth, Qin Feng is notoriously good at training troops, and when he arrives at the border, he can quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the border army.
Fifth, he has complete trust in Qin Feng, originally Qin Feng is the young generation he admires the most, and he has always regarded him as a confidant. Because of the Skynet incident, all of Qin Feng's performances made him have a deeper understanding of Qin Feng's personality and wisdom, and knew that it was impossible to lose with his personality. What's more, the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Army was also recognized by Li Jing, and he strongly recommended the Tiger Army to participate in the war and play an important role in the war. It's just that in this world, no one knows this army better than Qin Feng, so it is more appropriate for Qin Feng to lead this tiger and wolf division as the commander of the middle lane army.
Sixth, after this layout, Li Shimin found that the Tang Dynasty was like a cloud, but there were few talents who were in charge alone, which aroused Li Shimin's concern and attention, so he also gave birth to the idea of using this battle to build Qin Feng and cultivate successor talents for the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he only felt that Qin Feng was the only candidate.
Become a big thing, no matter how small!
Li Shimin was originally a king who acted resolutely, and with this in mind, he had already made up his mind, hinting at Qin Feng and asking him to fight by himself.
Qin Feng's stunned expression made him feel funny, and said, "Don't doubt your ears, and don't pretend to be confused, I am what you think." This matter is related to the eternal life of my Datang, do a good job, I believe that you and the Tiger Benjun have the ability to take on heavy responsibilities. ”
"But...... I'm too young, what will others think? Qin Feng looked at His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who instigated him to break the law, his face was a little speechless, how did he think that Li Shimin's smiling face was somewhat similar to the big bad wolf who instigated the little rabbit to open the door.
Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said, "I really haven't seen it, when did you become so pedantic?" It's okay if others are not satisfied, pull out the team and fight with the Tiger Army, won't it be over? If you still don't accept it, you can fight him again and beat him to the core. You are only in charge of the middle route army, and the Turks are all tough in war, there is no art of war at all, you don't have to worry about not being able to deal with the Turks' tactics, besides, you are not the commander of this battle, I will carry it if something goes wrong, what are you afraid of. That's it? He pursed his lips as he spoke, a little disdainful.
Rat gall?
Qin Feng was a little angry, even if he was a radical general, there was no need to hurt people so much, right? Immediately said fiercely: "Joke, I, Qin Feng, have grown so big, and I have never been afraid of anyone." Father-in-law, don't worry, isn't it just a bunch of wolf cubs? Extinguished. ”
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is my son-in-law, and he is the Erlang of the Qin family that I admire. ”
Qin Feng muttered disdainfully in his heart: "If you don't like it, it's a rat's gall, and if you don't like it, it's a responsibility, this ancient person, a good king has a two-skinned face, and he doesn't deceive me." "As for who said it, it was naturally said by the talented Qin Feng.
"You have dealt with the Turks, and you should also know the character of the Turks. The Turkic chief, but the cavalry shooting, see the advantage that is, the front, know the difficulty and go, the wind gallops, not constant Chen with the bow and arrow as the minions, to the armor as the regular uniform, the team does not line, the battalion has no fixed place. Chase water and grass for the living room, take sheep and horses as military food, win and seek wealth, and there is no shame in defeat. There is no night patrol and no cost of building a fortress to feed food. ”
Li Shimin's simple sentence can be said to have analyzed the Turkic habits vividly. In particular, "winning and seeking wealth, and defeating without shame" points out the mentality of the Turks.
"When you were at the height of the Turks, you led a thousand people to gallop across the Turkic territory, wounding countless enemies, and hiding your true whereabouts. The commander of this frontal army, according to my analysis, you have to be. Therefore, I want to transfer you to the governor of Shuozhou, to take charge of the military of the four states, and to guard the northern border. Like Li Jing and Li Shiji, when they were on guard, they sent people to go deep into the territory of the Turks to investigate the Turkic situation and understand the Turkic dynamics, so that they could take down the Turks in the shortest time and in the fastest way in the future.
"Alas!" When Li Shimin said this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "You and Changle are newly married Yan'er, I also know that such a decision is a bit unkind, but I have discussed it with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, and analyzed many generals one by one, and they all agreed that you are the best candidate." ”
Qin Feng couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't imagine that in addition to Li Shimin and Li Jing, even Fang Mou Du Duan had given himself such a heavy label.
He listened to Li Shimin's words, and was silent for a while, the border was bitter cold and there was no security, so it was naturally impossible for Princess Changle to follow him to Shuozhou to take up his post. This newlywed Yan'er, separated from the two places, is really cruel and reluctant. The same goes for Zheng Liwan......
In this life, there are always some dilemmas, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, nothing more.
After hesitating for a while, Qin Feng's gaze became firm, and he said, "Thanks to the trust of my father-in-law, my son-in-law is willing to take on this important task." I just don't know when the appointment will come down......"
Li Shimin patted Qin Feng's shoulder vigorously, and said with great satisfaction: "I know that the virtuous son-in-law cares about the world, has a clear distinction between public and private, and will not refuse." Well, there's no rush in this matter, after the New Year...... I'm not so unkind, the newlywed Yan'er will break you up with Changle. I broke you apart rashly, so it's no wonder that Changle isn't angry. ”
Qin Feng is at peace in his heart, the Spring Festival is only eight days away, and the honeymoon period is long enough, as a good man, how much ability does he have to shoulder how much responsibility. Now he has come to this point, facing the Turkic ...... Do your best.
Originally, I was just thinking about taking this piece of fat for Datang, but I never imagined that it was the Turkic cow on the other side, thinking of this, I couldn't help but say: "By the way, who is in charge of the Xi people?" ”
Li Shimin said: "Li Daozong is right, and Li Junxian assists. What do you think? Li Junxian guards the Xuanwu Gate, and Li Shimin knows very well how loyal and capable his people are.
Li Daozong is the nemesis of Goguryeo, and it is more suitable for him to go out to guard the northeast, Qin Feng nodded, and stopped talking, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Father-in-law, I need a lot of weapons, grain, grass, and money." After speaking, he explained: "You know that my training costs a lot. ”
Li Shimin waved his hand and stopped his words: "I will do my best to meet your request. This time, Li Shimin copied a lot of homes, and the income was endless, and he said very generously: "What about the war horse? ”
Qin Feng faced the enemy head-on, and it was very dangerous, but Li Shimin took the initiative to mention the war horse.
Qin Feng's eyes lit up and said, "Is the deal with Tuli and Yi Nan very successful?" ”
Li Shimin replied: "It was a victory, they fought hard, and the consumption in all aspects was beyond imagination. The Tuli Yi men used salt and iron instruments to buy and win over the tribe to stand side by side with them, often asking for tens of thousands. We don't trade money, we all exchange cattle and horses. Enough ploughing cattle can drive agriculture, and the huge consumption of weapons is also very beneficial to the smelting industry. ”
Qin Feng smiled, revealing the fox's tail, and said, "This, the Mo Sword Formation is certainly a sharp weapon for the Turkic cavalry developed by me and Li Shangshu. However, deep into the Turkic hinterland, the slow mobility of the Modao Formation will be magnified exponentially, which is not conducive to fighting on the steppe. This one...... Your Royal Highness, you see, since our Datang now has a source of war horses, the Hequ Military Horse Farm has also achieved great results after long-term investment. You see this...... Can War Horse overdraft a lot. When it's time to attack the Turks, can you also make a difference? ”
Looking at Qin Feng, who was rubbing his fists, Li Shimin also laughed. He is also a good rider, so he naturally knows the wonderful use of cavalry in this period. The so-called Buke riding is actually forced out. The key to victory is not in the class, but in tactics. If you have enough cavalry, who is well fed and supports to study the tactics of what infantry and cavalry. In the flat field, the only thing that can really compete with cavalry in the era of cold weapons is cavalry. (To be continued.) )
