Li Tao didn't speak, just looked at Li Longji.

Li Longji didn't know what Li Tao meant, and he also went to look at him for inquiry, and Li Tao nodded slightly to him.

Li Longji said: "Tao'er, you first tell me how to try, and then make a military order, how about it?" ”

Li Tao nodded and said, "Guo Xianggong, you should know about 'Bo Zhan', right?" ”

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the government soldier system was implemented, and the training of the government soldiers mainly included two contents: "thin warfare" and "vertical hunting". Among them, the "thin war" is the main content. The main purpose of "thin warfare" is to train soldiers to be familiar with the command orders of the army, such as banners and golden drums, to advance and retreat, to change formations, and to be proficient in drills, so as to ensure that they are in an orderly manner in wartime and enter the battle with the battle. "Hunting" is to go on a safari, in the process of training soldiers' martial arts and improving their personal combat skills.

How could Guo Yuanzhen not know about "Bo Zhan", he pouted and said, "Naturally I know." ”

"Complicated formation changes and drills will not be carried out, so how about trying to exchange garrisons and re-camp with various armies?"

Li Tao's question is not difficult, this is the least the army should do, Guo Yuanzhen even felt Li Tao's contempt for himself. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Just try this?" ”

"Guo Xianggong, just say it! How long will it take for these 200,000 troops to be encamped? ”

"An hour!" Guo Yuanzhen said without hesitation.

Li Tao said generously: "Give you two hours!" Do you dare to make a military order? ”

Guo Yuanzhen's chest rose and fell, not only using the most ordinary camping to test the army, but also giving two hours, what is the Tang army? This is simply a naked provocation, not only a provocation to the military might of the Tang Dynasty. It is also a provocation to himself, the secretary of the military department.

Guo Yuanzhen said to Li Longji with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, if it is within two hours." The army can't finish camping, and I, Guo Yuanzhen, am willing to sacrifice the head. ”

Li Tao also said to Li Longji lightly: "Your Majesty." If the army can be encamped within two hours, I, Li Tao, am willing to offer the head of the master. ”

Everyone present looked at each other, what was originally a military exercise to promote military prestige turned into a tense and undying confrontation between Li Tao and Guo Yuanzhen.

Li Longji was also extremely nervous, he really couldn't understand what kind of medicine Li Tao was selling in this gourd today.

Li Tao motioned to Li Longji and asked him to agree to the military order he had made with Guo Yuanzhen.

Seeing this, Li Longji had no choice but to nod and say, "Quasi-play!" Bring pen and paper! ”

Li Tao and Guo Yuanzhen each made a military order.

Li Longji ordered someone to prepare a copper kettle for dripping to keep time. Then he asked Li Tao, "Tao'er, how is it?" ”

Li Tao smiled: "I'm fine, look at Guo Xianggong." ”

Li Longji asked Guo Yuanzhen again: "Guo Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, you can begin." Guo Yuanzhen said without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll beat the drums myself and command the soldiers." Mr. Lee also appears to have been infected.

With the sound of drums, the army began to move, but not in order. Instead, there was a burst of confusion, as if I didn't expect such an order.

Guo Yuanzhen's face changed slightly.

Li Longji's face also changed a little.

Li Tao seemed to have expected such a scene, and just watched with a smile.

With the sound of drums, the armies began to move. But the simultaneous movement of 200,000 troops only made the scene even more chaotic.

Time passed little by little, and the chaotic scene did not change at all.

I saw that two hours were coming. Guo Yuanzhen's face became more and more gloomy, and he really couldn't figure it out. Why is this an incredible result?

Li Longji had long stopped beating the drums, and his face was pale. If it weren't for Li Tao and Guo Yuanzhen's military order competition. He didn't know how an army that seemed so powerful could be. This is just a camp, if it is really against the enemy, wouldn't it be ......

"Your Majesty, the hour has come!" Colliers stepped forward and reminded in a whisper.

Li Longji looked at the army that was still in chaos, and finally couldn't help it, he said angrily: "Guo Yuanzhen, the secretary of the military department, is not effective in governing the army, the army is not in order, and the team is scattered, so he was immediately tied to the banner and beheaded for public display. ”

The two prime ministers who accompanied Xuanzong on the military parade, Zhang Shuo and Liu Youqiu, were taken aback, and were just about to admonish, but they heard Li Tao say to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, Guo Xianggong is an old minister of the first dynasty, and he has made great contributions to the country. ”

Li Longji saw that Li Tao had spoken, and he couldn't help but give this face, so he said again: "Tao'er, don't forget, he made a military order." ”

Li Tao shook his head and said: "It's no wonder that Guo Xianggong is in this matter, no matter who comes in the place, it will be a result." ”

Hearing Li Tao say this, Li Longji said again: "Since it is the king of Lantian who intercedes, then remove Guo Yuanzhen from the post of secretary of the military department and exile Xinzhou!" ”

Xinzhou is six thousand miles away from Chang'an, which is already a very heavy punishment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guo Yuanzhen looked decadent: "Please allow Your Majesty, the criminal minister wants to ask King Lantian a few questions." ”

Li Longji looked at Li Tao, and Li Tao nodded.

"Quasi-play!" Li Longji said.

"Guo has thanked King Lantian for his intercession!" Guo Yuanzhen first saluted Li Tao.

"Guo Xianggong is polite!" Li Tao replied.

"Did King Lantian already know about this result?" Guo Yuanzhen asked.

"Exactly!"

"Can King Lantian tell Guo, how do you know, what is going on?"

Li Tao sighed and said, "I said that the current Tang army is no longer the army it used to be. I deduced today's result from three aspects! ”

"What three aspects?" This time, it was not Guo Yuanzhen who asked the question, but Li Longji.

"Datang implements the government military system, men join the army at the age of 21, are exempted from military service at the age of 60, and usually carry out agricultural production in their hometowns, do not accept conscription, and do not pay rent. When there is a war, they are conscripted to fight, and when they go out to fight, they prepare their own armor and food, and the burden is also heavier. The government military system is associated with the uniform land system, but now that the uniform land system has been destroyed, many peasants have lost their land and cannot afford to provide their own food and clothing, so there is often a phenomenon of desertion, and the landlords and rich households often evade military service, so the military service falls on the poor households. It is also normal for such an army to have a decline in combat effectiveness. This is one of them. ”

Li Longji lowered his head and pondered.

"200,000 troops, unified command, coordination with each other, how difficult it is. Datang has not had such a huge transfer for decades, not only the generals have no experience in this area, but there has also been no such coordinated training between the various armies. This is the second one. ”

"Tao'er, you go on, what is the third one?" Li Longji said.

"The third is that I have a coincidence, the training in the army is generally heavy cavalry archery and heavy formation, but most of them do not have much training for camping, or even have never been specially trained. If you try something else, maybe it won't be so chaotic, but how can so many people camp at the same time not be chaotic? (To be continued......)
