Chapter 62 The purpose of Wang Zhonghe's entry into Beijing does not need to be thought of, he is running for military power, and he wants to unify the army. Regarding this matter, Li Changguo just smiled and said nothing. Wang Zhongji is a rare good general, however, he lacks political vision and does not know that Li Longji has chosen a candidate to lead the army, that is, Li Changguo.

The reason why Li Longji chose Li Changguo, as Li Yu said, Li Longji did not want to pin the safety of the Tang Dynasty on Wang Zhonghei alone, but wanted to focus on cultivating Li Changguo, so as to create an Optimus Prime for the Tang Dynasty.

As Li Changguo expected, as soon as Wang Zhongji arrived in Chang'an, he asked to see Li Longji, his posture was very low, and he admitted his mistake to Li Longji, and he should not be cowardly in the matter of Shibao City. Then, he asked for his life, willing to share Li Longji's worries and lead the army to go out to eat. Li Longji only said kind words and encouragement, but did not say anything else.

Wang Zhongji was still unwilling, and moved around Chang'an, begging to see the crown prince Li Heng, and repeatedly expressed his willingness to escort Li Heng. If it had been before, the crown prince Li Heng would have promised to win the qualification to lead the army for Wang Zhonghe. This time, the crown prince Li Heng was woken up by Li Mi, and he just comforted him with kind words.

During this period, Li Changguo, Li Mi, Du Fu, Gao Shi, Cen Shen, Guo Ziyi, and Li Guangbi drank and talked freely, and they had endless fun. The poetry of the poet is shocking, far beyond what is contained in the history books. The name of the poet, Li Changguo, is like thunder, but after personal experience, he knew that Du Fu's poems were far beyond those contained in the history books.

Li Mi is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, not only good at planning, but also has extraordinary political talents, his words are admirable, and Li Changguo is full of praise for Li Mi.

Similarly, Li Mi also admired Li Changguo, and the two soon became friends, and they hated each other late, eating and drinking together, and sometimes squeezing together on the same couch and sleeping together.

This kind of beautiful story came to an end during the Hanyuan Palace. Li Changguo took Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi to the court, and saw that the ministers arrived very neatly, which can be described as a sea of people. Everyone knows what the Hanyuan Hall Dynasty means this time, because this must be a great court meeting elected by the commander of the west. The Anxi Protectorate was in a critical need for reinforcements, and Li Changguo was almost at the end of their resting place, and it was time to send troops.

Li Longji was dressed in an imperial robe, wearing a crown on his head, and his big sleeves were fluttering, and he came quickly. The whole person is extremely energetic, full of spirit, walking briskly, as if he is floating.

Sending troops to the Great Eclipse and breaking the Great Eclipse is a long-cherished wish of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, and now it is time to go out on a large scale, and it will not be possible if Li Longji is not happy.

When the ministers saw the salute, Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Excuse me." ”

Standing in front of the throne, he glanced at the ministers, all of whom were in high spirits and looking forward to it. Sending troops to eat, this is the dream of the Tang Dynasty boys, at the moment when the commander is about to be baked, how can they not be happy, how can they not be in good spirits. What they are looking forward to is who will lead the army.

"Li Linfu." However, to the surprise of the ministers, Li Longji did not rush to announce who would command the troops, but directly named Li Linfu.

"The minister is here!" Li Linfu was very happy, and his voice was a little high.

In Li Linfu's mind, now is a good time to announce the commander-in-chief, Li Longji's announcement was the first thing that came to mind, this is the importance of him, he has a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and he will not be able to do it if he is not excited.

However, to Li Linfu's surprise, Li Longji's face sank, and he said in a deep voice: "During the Kaiyuan period, there were countless good ministers in the court, Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling, Han Xiu, Wang Maozhong, Yang Siqiao...... All in one place. They say that they are good people for the Tang Dynasty, and you have been the prime minister for more than ten years, but there are talented people who can enter? ”

"Buzz!" Li Linfu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and there was a roar in his head, and he almost fell to the ground.

Li Linfu has been the prime minister for more than ten years, and in order to maintain his power and block the way of enterprising talents, there are not many talents in the court, which is what he is most afraid of. Li Longji suddenly mentioned at this time that Li Linfu was still frightened despite his cunning old man.

"Also, you are not in the government office to handle official business, but in your mansion, what is your intention?" Li Longji's voice suddenly turned high, like a thunderbolt roaring.

"Your Majesty...... The minister ...... "Li Linfu, who can speak well, was speechless for the first time in his life.

Li Linfu is in power, no one cares about it, he simply does not go to the government to act as an agent, and directly works in his prime minister's mansion.

"Li Linfu obeyed the order." Li Longji said in a deep voice: "Cut off Li Linfu's title of two levels, immediately return to the government to act as an administrator, open the way, enter the virtuous people, if there is a violator, you will be killed." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Linfu was shocked into a cold sweat, wet with sweat, but he was happy.

According to his thoughts, he was afraid that he would be in danger of escaping this time, but he didn't expect that it would be a great blessing for him.

At this time, it is impossible for Li Longji to get rid of Li Linfu, first, although Li Linfu is a minister, he is indeed a hero, as long as he beats him, he can still do things. Second, there is an imminent war with Daeshi, and the DPRK and China must ensure stability, and if there is a change of prime minister, there may be turmoil, which is not conducive to the upcoming war. Third, for a while, no one can be found to replace Li Linfu. has not been a talented person for more than ten years, how can it be so easy to find a candidate for prime minister.

"Li Linfu, the position of the protector of Anxi, you don't have to take on the position of concurrent." Li Longji once again stripped Li Linfu of his official position.

"Obey." Li Linfu received the order loudly, but his heart was dripping blood.

In the upcoming war, the Tang Dynasty will definitely have a great victory. Not to mention anything else, it is a miracle to kill or defeat the decades-old Great Food Army that has invaded the Western Regions. If Li Linfu concurrently serves as the protector of Anxi, it will be a great thing for pie in the sky, and he will have a great merit. Li Longji showed no mercy and took away this position, and Li Linfu's heart was dripping blood.

"Prince." Li Longji stared at Li Heng.

"Father, son-in-law." Li Heng was busy coming out.

"You will also serve as the protector of Anxi." Li Longji looked at Li Heng and was very pleased.

"Thank you, Father." This is a great joy, Li Heng is overjoyed, and his voice is a little high.

The battle with the Great Food is about to begin, and the Tang Dynasty has the certainty of victory, if nothing else, it only needs to kill the Great Food Army in the Western Regions, which is a miracle. Such a great credit fell on Li Heng, how could Li Heng not be excited? If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Li Heng would definitely sing loudly.

"Clever!" Li Changguo greatly appreciated Li Longji's move.

This move is to prepare for the crown prince Li Heng to ascend the throne, leaving him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, which can stabilize the prince's powerful position, and the ascension to the throne in the future will be much smoother.

"Wang Zhonghe!" Li Longji was named.

"The minister is here." Wang Zhonghei responded and was overjoyed, thinking that this commander had fallen on him.

The ministers thought the same way, and those who got close to him whispered to Wang Zhonghei: "Congratulations to the handsome!" ”

Wang Zhongsi is a good general, able to recruit and fight well, in the past few decades, there have been dozens of battles of all sizes, and he has never been defeated, and his call for leading the army is very high, and he is not under Li Changguo. Right now, Li Longji first pointed to him, what else could he be if he didn't lead the army?

"You have said that you are willing to protect the prince, which is excellent. The crown prince is also the protector of the capital of Anxi, so you will assist the prince and prepare grain, grass, baggage, reinforcements, and people for the army. Surprisingly, Li Longji assigned the logistics to Wang Zhonghe.

"Yes...... Yes! Your Majesty, don't you let the ministers command the troops? Wang Zhonghe, who was full of calculations and could lead the army, did not react, first thanked the emperor happily, and then reacted, he was just a logistics officer, not a commander of the army, and exclaimed.

"Who wants you to lead the army?" Li Longji's face sank, and he said in a deep voice: "You can do a good job of logistics." If you dare not be unreasonable, military law will be engaged! ”

"Minister...... Zunchen. Wang Zhonghei was very unwilling, so he had to accept the order.

The crown prince Li Heng has never dealt with military affairs, and his appointment as the protector of the capital of Anxi can only be a credit and a credit, and it is impossible to handle these affairs, so he must send someone to assist him. This person is definitely the most suitable for Wang Zhonghe. One is because Wang Zhongsi is proficient in military affairs, and the other is that Wang Zhongsi has a good relationship with Li Heng, the two have grown up together since childhood, and he will definitely do his best to help Li Heng do a good job.

Only then did the ministers understand Li Longji's intentions, and they greatly appreciated it, Li Longji deserved to be the son of the saint, as long as he was serious, he could always have the best way.

"Lee Chang Kook!" Li Longji looked at Li Changguo with a smile on his face.

"That's the commander." The ministers have understood.

"The minister is here." Lee Chang-guk is on the list.

"Li Changguo was promoted to the deputy Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, commanded the troops to go out, and was responsible for all matters related to the battle against Dashi!" Li Longji is officially ordained.

"Obey." This was not at all surprising to Li Changguo's expectations.

"Li Changguo, who do you want to go with you?" Li Longji knew very well how difficult the upcoming war was, and the Tang Dynasty must do its best to send good generals to prepare for Li Longji to pick people.

"Your Majesty, this battle is not trivial, it is related to the fortunes of China, and it cannot be taken lightly, if the Tang Dynasty wants to win, it must be a good general." Li Changguo has long been thinking about this matter.

"Hmm!" Li Longji thought so, nodded heavily, and said: "Although it has been a decades-long war, the Tang Dynasty has the upper hand, however, Dashi has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and the national strength is not trivial, and it cannot be underestimated. The elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are up to you. ”

Li Mi, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, An Lushan, Shi Siming, Du Fu, Gao Shi, Cen Shen...... Go to war with your ministers, and ask Your Majesty for permission. "Li Changguo has officially transferred people.

An Lushan was the most happy, with a pair of eyes flashing, thinking that he could make a great contribution. But I didn't know that the reason why Li Changguo brought him was that he could take this opportunity to eliminate the scourge of the "Anshi Rebellion".

"Accurate!" Li Longji was very refreshed and said, "In addition to this, another 5,000 dragon martial troops will be transferred to accompany you on the expedition." The Long Wu Army is the elite of the Tang Dynasty, and they should be allowed to go to the battlefield to experience. Those who go with you to Tibet do not have to fight again, and choose 5,000 again. ”

The Longwu Army was the most elite army of the Tang Dynasty, and it was of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty to let them accept the baptism of war, and Li Longji's move won the heart of Li Changguo.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lee Chang Kook thanks.

"The Anxi Protectorate is in danger, and the sooner the troops are dispatched, the better. Let's prepare today, and let's go tomorrow. Li Longji ordered.

The next time, there were a sea of people outside Xuanwu Gate, and the people of Chang'an rushed to see each other.

Li Longji led the ministers to send him off.

"If you don't break the big food, you swear not to pay it back!" The soldiers erupted into an earth-shattering roar and embarked on the battle.
