Chapter 430: The War Begins (2)

After the meeting on the war was discussed, Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, handed Chen Fei over to his office, and then seemed to have something to say to him.

"Chen Langzhong, this Northern Expedition to the Turks, you can go with me!" Li Jing said.

"What? What am I going to do? Chen Fei asked.

Li Jing immediately said: "You go and help me manage the grain, grass and ordnance, and you will help me manage the grain, grass and ordnance of hundreds of thousands of troops." That way I can rest easy and not have to worry about ordnance. ”

Chen Fei immediately shook his head again and again, he didn't want to go to the front line! This time I went to the front line, isn't this brain pumping? Although Chen Fei was a soldier in later generations, he was definitely a soldier, not a person who could shed his blood for the country. He first had to estimate what benefits he could get from this, and how much his life was safe. Whatever he does, he wants to leave a way back for himself, so that he can be safe. As for offending the scholars, it looks very terrible, but in fact, at most, there is no way to be promoted, and there is no danger to his life in most cases, so he dares to offend the scholars.

And now Li Jing asked him to go to the front line to help Li Jing manage ordnance, grain and grass, isn't this death? If you go to the front line, the Turks have no swords and eyes, although they are a person who manages logistics, but once they are on the battlefield, anything can happen. When the Turks suddenly come to a decapitation operation, it will be a real tragedy. So when Chen Fei heard that he was going to go to the battlefield, he subconsciously immediately refused. Chen Fei is not a person who can be willing to go to the battlefield, he should be his own civil official.

"You must know that this Northern Expedition to the Turks is a great opportunity. If you can make meritorious contributions, then you can be promoted again, but you have to think clearly! Li Jing said.

But Chen Fei still shook his head, obviously not wanting to go. Although this Northern Expedition to the Turks was a war, there would be a group of people who would benefit. However, Chen Fei hopes more for "seeking wealth and stability". And not something to risk with a small life. Although those scholars hated him, Chen Fei had the protection of Li Shimin, and the Cui family took care of him, so the scholars had nothing to do with him. So this is his greatest reliance, and he doesn't have to risk anything for the future. If you take risks for the sake of the so-called future, you are really in the water of your brain.

"Chen Fei, do you have to know, now that I am the secretary of the Ministry of War, I have the right to recruit some people to work for the army, what if the old man recruits you? All my Tang officials and people. When necessary, you have to obey the requisition of the military department, you won't refuse, right? What's more, you are now the Treasury Langzhong, the old man is the secretary of the military department, you are the old man's subordinate officials, and the old man has the right to order you. Do you have to think about it, do you take the initiative to go, or let the old man give the order? Li Jing asked.

Chen Fei was speechless, he was caught by Li Jing. First of all, whatever the reason. Military war is absolutely a national priority, and once a war breaks out, everything must be subordinated to war. And the military department Shangshu did have a certain amount of strength to recruit some officials and ordinary people to serve the war, even in later generations. If Li Jing wants to use this right to recruit himself, it is not impossible. Moreover, Chen Fei is also an official under Li Jing. Then Li Jing's order to himself is more reasonable and legitimate, and Chen Fei really can't refuse casually. As an official, if you don't obey the tasks arranged by your superiors, then how can you be an official!

What's more, I finally got along with Li Jing. If Li Jing is really forced to use this right to use the military department, it will really be a little ignorant. People are kindly discussing with you now, if you don't go, isn't that not giving him face? Being an official is very particular about face. Face is also a kind of prestige and prestige, if you have no prestige as an official, how can you lead your subordinates? Therefore, Li Jing still leaves some face for Chen Fei now, if he doesn't save face in the future, it will be really miserable.

"General Li, there shouldn't be any danger in this battle, right? After all, the princess and I are about to get married, and if I ...... at this time, wouldn't it make the princess a widow? How bad this is for the princess! I died when I was young, but the princess's life was going to be ruined! Chen Fei said.

Li Jing immediately said: "Your idea is very wrong, are you going to get married, and others will not have wives and children?" Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, not all of them want to leave their parents, wives and children at this time, I am afraid that there are many people who are ready to get married. Don't they have wives and children, and they don't have any relatives? You only care about yourself and ignore the overall situation of the court, so how can you be an official and set an example for the people of the world? You ......"

Li Jing reprimanded him for a while, which made Chen Fei very helpless. It seems that this Li Jing really had to force Chen Fei to go to the battlefield, but fortunately, Li Jing's last sentence dispelled Chen Fei's doubts.

"You can rest assured, you won't go to the front-line battlefield in person, you just have to help me manage the food, grass and ordnance in the commander's tent, there is no way that any enemy can hit us. If the enemy is able to attack us, I am afraid that the destruction of our army is not far away. Li Jing said.

What Li Jing said is also good, because once the enemy hits the commander's tent, I am afraid that it is not far from the destruction of the army, and at that time, there are no eggs under the nest, where can Chen Fei hide? So instead of thinking about whether something is dangerous or not, it is better to hurry up and do your own thing and not think so much. It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided!

Soon, under Li Jing's "earnest teachings", Chen Fei took the initiative to ask to serve the war and help General Li Jing manage the grain and grass, so that he could make his due contribution to the war. And Li Jing also "gladly" accepted Chen Fei's kindness, and took the initiative to hand over the management of the army's ordnance, grain and grass to Chen Fei in the future. And Li Jing actually attaches great importance to Chen Fei, after all, Chen Fei can organize the production of those ordnance so quickly, it should be a very good talent. Therefore, it is completely possible to entrust the heavy responsibility of grain and grass, and I am not afraid that Chen Fei will have problems.

And Chen Fei returned to the princess's mansion with helplessness, and then he could only announce this "unfortunate" news to a few beauties. And several beauties were shocked when they heard the news.

"What? You're going to war? Princess Wanchun exclaimed. (To be continued......)
