Chapter 30 Mao Sui self-recommendation

readx;

The ancients used "general" to call general, but there is an essential difference between general and handsome. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Generals, charge into battle, urge the fierce to defeat the enemy, handsome, deploy the army, strategize, and win a thousand miles.

What can't be done by the handsome, and the handsome can't be the general.

There is an essential difference between the two, and Shuai can also be regarded as an extension of it, a higher level.

Therefore, there are clouds, thousands of troops are easy to obtain, one will be hard to find, thousands of generals can be found, and one handsome is difficult to see.

There were no generals in the Tang Dynasty, and there were thousands of people who could fight alone, but if you want to say that the kind of commanders of the three armies who command the army and command the three armies, there are only a few people in the early Tang Dynasty. Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, Li Zongdao, the king of Jiangxia County, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, Junji, the Duke of Chen, and Li Ji, the Duke of England, if you add Li Shimin, who is already the emperor, there are only six people. This has been the case since ancient times. In the land of China, there are many talents, and there is never a shortage of generals to command the troops, but only the commanders of the three armies. The six people in the early Tang Dynasty are already a very remarkable number in history. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has world-renowned martial arts, but the only ones who can be called handsome are Wei Qing, Li Guang, and Huo Quai.

Now Li Xiaogong and Li Jing are all old, Hou Junji rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and died, Li Zongdao went to Goguryeo, Li Ji was sick in bed, and there was no one among the handsome talents of the older generation.

Now it is time to employ people, and the Manchu civil and military suddenly found that there was no one available......

If it is only against a small country with a slightly inferior strength, it can also be replaced by a famous general who can take charge of himself, but Tubo, as the hegemon of the southwest, is also strong. This battle is another slap in the face of the other party, and it must be treated with caution, and it can only be won and not defeated.

This time, it is sad that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military.

Li Shimin was also worried, thinking: "Mao Gong's illness is really too timely...... In fact, the Tang Dynasty was not without rising talents, Su Dingfang, Du He, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, these four have shown a strategy beyond ordinary people, and if you train it well, you can also become the commander of the three armies.

However, on the way of Su Dingfang's expedition to Goguryeo, Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian's qualifications were too low and too low, and the only suitable Du He was twenty-two years old this year, so that a twenty-two-year-old person could lead an army of tens of thousands......

"Isn't that a bit risky?" Li Shimin pondered in his heart.

So far, Du He has only participated in three battles, and his experience is too little, and he has led at most 30,000 soldiers and horses. At this number, the difficulty increases by three points for every 10,000 people raised thereafter. When it reaches 100,000, it is even more difficult. With thirty thousand, it is not a concept at all.

Li Shimin remembered that the only defeat in his life was the conquest of the Longyou Xue Ju father and son group, and at that time he was also the first time to command the army. Because of his lack of experience, he couldn't do the order and prohibition, so his subordinates rushed to battle and suffered a big defeat. Although he quickly regrouped and eliminated the Xue Ju group in the first snow of the shallow water plain, it left an indelible impression on him because it was the only defeat in his life.

Even if he was optimistic about Du He, he didn't dare to rashly use the young Du He and let him command an army of 100,000 to fight this crucial battle.

The matter of sending troops has been decided, but because he could not find a suitable candidate for a while, Li Shimin also announced his retirement from the dynasty.

Back in the inner palace, Li Shimin kept thinking about this matter in his mind, and after thinking about it to no avail, he couldn't help but think of a character in his heart, and said loudly: "Come on, swing, I want to go to the Weiguo Mansion." ”

Li Jing is 71 years old this year, but as the military god of the Tang Dynasty, he still has an extraordinary appeal in the court. Li Jing's unique insights will make him refreshed, and he also likes to chat with Li Jing, a person with unparalleled intelligence, from time to time......

**********

Du He returned to Du Mansion with a heavy heart, and his eyebrows revealed anger. Like the civil and military ministers of the court, Songtsen Gampo's actions were full of anger.

Songtsen Gampo's indiscriminate killing of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to bullying the huge empire of the Tang Dynasty.

As a member of the empire, a good man with strong blood, how can there be any reason not to be angry, he just wants to kill Tubo with a horizontal knife immediately, and cut off the head of Songtsen Gampo as a ball. Let them know the fate of Tang Tianwei.

While getting angry, the memories buried in the deepest part of his heart gradually emerged.

Princess Yaochi ......

That beautiful, confident, generous, cheerful interracial woman......

The woman who took a cold shower in the winter and was attacked by a tiger......

The woman who snatched her first kiss and said that she would not marry if she had not forgotten herself......

"I don't know how she is now, whether she is married, whether she has forgotten herself......"

When Du He thought of this, he had a strange feeling in his heart. He is already married, has three wives who are like flowers and jade, treats him sincerely, has an obedient and well-behaved son, a naughty and active daughter, and is extremely successful in his career, it can be said that he has no regrets in his life.

But people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, intellectually he hopes that Yaochi has forgotten him, has a good home, and lives happily, but there are some strange thoughts in his heart, hoping that Yaochi has not forgotten him. Just like boys and girls are liked by people they don't like, although they don't like it, they are still happy in their hearts, which proves that we are charming.

Thinking about things in his mind, he walked unconsciously and came to the courtyard.

Sayuri ran over with a smile, hugged Du He's thigh, and shouted: "Daddy, daddy, hug hug......" The little girl is one and a half years old this year, and her babbling language is not so standard, but the words "daddy, hug" are the most standard of all the words in Xiaoya's mind.

Du He interrupted the little girl's thoughts, picked her up with a smile, and kissed her on the cheek, which was three points more gorgeous than a red apple.

Where is the little girl who is the lord of Anfen, she can't move freely in Du He's arms, and within a few minutes she struggled to get off the ground and chased the insects.

Changle and Li Xueyan, who were taking care of the children in the yard, greeted them one after another.

Changle said: "Du Lang, what happened in the court?" She was delicate, and she could already see a slight strangeness in Du He's face. Changle has an obvious difference from Li Xueyan and Wu Meiniang, perhaps because he is in the royal family, Changle is more concerned about national affairs, and often learns about the world's trends from Du He, and sees Du He's eyebrows between the anger that is difficult to dissipate, and faintly feels that something big has happened.

Du He nodded and said, "It's not that the group of thieves in Tubo have come out to make trouble again...... he told Changle about Songtsen Gampo's killing of the Tang envoy.

Changle was filled with righteous indignation when he heard it, and said angrily: "It's too unusual, Fanbang is a small country, dare to kill the envoy of the Heavenly Empire, it's really hateful......"

When Li Xueyan heard the word Tubo, she also remembered that she almost married a foreign land, and she also felt the same hatred for the enemy, and said indignantly: "That's it, the chief of the Turadish country still wants to marry me...... Hmph, it's beautiful to think about, it's not that Du Lang is out of temper. Now that he is making trouble again, he simply destroys Xue Yantuo like he did, so as not to be upset in the future. ”

"That's exactly what ......" Du He smiled and nodded, Li Xueyan's words were all based on feelings, which was just in line with the way of a great country. As a big country, it should be arrogant and domineering, bullied to the head, and what you want is not to repay and repay, but to destroy it directly. Whoever dares to touch me will be killed, and immediately smiled: "My father-in-law has already decided to send troops, and I have been bullied, and this battle must be fought." But my father-in-law is worried about who to send to fight......"

Changle nodded in understanding: "The commander of the three armies, the top priority." Li Shangshu fell ill at this time, and it was really not the right time. Du Lang was afraid that he had to go on the expedition. ”

Du He responded: "It's not bad, although my father-in-law didn't have any generals, but when I conquered Goguryeo, my father-in-law didn't expect to fight on two fronts, and transferred away a large number of outstanding generals and elite soldiers. The strength of Tibet is even higher than that of Goguryeo, and the overall strength of the Right Weiwei led by me is one of the best in the Tang Army. Against the stronger Tibet, there is no reason not to fight. ”

Li Xueyan was a little reluctant, but she also saw that she was used to it, and cheered up: "The emperor is too, Li Shangshu is sick, and Du Lang, where is Du Lang worse than Li Shangshu, I think it's okay." ”

Li Xueyan's words didn't go through the brain, but Du He's eyes lit up.

This soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a general who does not want to be a marshal is not a good general.

Du He didn't just dream that he was commanding thousands of armies, but he also knew that he was too young, and in his memory, there was no figure in history who commanded three armies at the age of twenty. Therefore, there has been no imposition, and now Li Jing and Li Xiaogong are old, Li Zongdao conquered Goguryeo, and Li Ji is on the hospital bed.

Isn't this an opportunity?

Du He's ambition made Li Xueyan hook out in one sentence, closed his palms, and said with a smile: "That's it, hey, I'll enter the palace, Mao Sui recommended himself, the commander of the three armies, it's a challenge." ”

Zhao Guogong Mansion.

The eldest grandson Wuji sat in the courtyard, staring blankly at the pond in the yard, looking at the dozens of gorgeous red carp in the pond, a little absent-minded, the smile on his face was a little bitter, and he laughed at himself in a low voice: "That Duhe, is it really my nemesis?" The old man boasted that he was incomparably intelligent, calculated in many ways, and thought it was a success, but he didn't think that in the end, he would make a wedding dress for others......"

"My lord, the eldest grandson asks to see ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Please let him in......"

The eldest grandson Shunde trotted to the side of the eldest grandson Wuji, and said with a smile: "Wuji, I heard that I am going to fight Tibet, but there is no such thing?" He was also a general in the early Tang Dynasty, participated in many battles of all sizes, Pinghuoyi, Po Linfen, and Xiajiang County, and was brave as a pioneer in every battle, and made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty.

In terms of qualifications and military merits, he is qualified to lead the army in battle as the commander of the three armed forces.

It's just that Li Jing, Li Ji, Hou Junji, Li Daozong and others have always been pressed, and they have never served as the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

This time, he vaguely saw an opportunity.
