Chapter 315: The support of the whole army
Li Jing leaned his face towards Li Ji, and said to Li Ji earnestly: "Mao Gong, today our master and apprentice can be regarded as having a heart-to-heart. To tell the truth, Ben Shuai is also afraid in his heart, your worries, Ben Shuai is also worried, and he can't sleep at night. ”
Li Ji asked Li Jing in a low voice, "Does that big marshal have any good plans?" Can we resolve the current crisis, or can we measure Your Majesty's mind and get Your Majesty's assurance that we will not kill our master and apprentice? ”
Li Jing looked at Zhang Baoxiang, the commander of his guards, and said to Li Ji: "Baoxiang offered me a plan to raise self-respect, and asked me to tell His Majesty the Tang Emperor that hundreds of thousands of troops of the Xue Yantuo Department Zhenzhu Khan Yi Nan Commander invaded my Tang border, so that we can escape this catastrophe and do not have to return to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, as long as Your Majesty still needs us, let you and I control the 400,000 Northern Expedition army of the Tang Dynasty, you and my lives will be worry-free, and there is no need to worry about Your Majesty killing us." ”
Li Ji nodded and said, "This plan is wonderful, but after the True Pearl Khan of the Xue Yantuo Department is defeated by us, what should we do?" ”
Li Jing said: "After Xue Yantuo was defeated, isn't there still Tuyuhun in the west? Tuyuhun has been defeated, isn't there still the Western Regions countries? The countries of the Western Regions have been defeated, aren't there still Persia and Great Eclipse? As long as the war continues, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will have to reuse you and me, and we will no longer have to worry about being unjustly killed. ”
Li Ji looked pensive.
Zhang Baoxiang interjected at this time: "Marshal, deputy marshal, now we have a full 400,000 invincible army in our hands, as generals, how many can we catch up with such a good opportunity?" Controlling so many elite armies? If the marshal and deputy marshal can wave their troops to the west, defeat the Xue Yantuo tribe, Tuyuhun, the countries of the Western Regions, Persia, and the Great Food, sweep away the United States, destroy dozens of countries, and capture and kill dozens of kings of various countries, such a record. The two of you and the 400,000 army under your command will inevitably become unmatched heroes since ancient times, and even the famous generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty and the Han army they commanded will be overshadowed in front of our army. ”
After thinking about it again, Li Ji said to Li Jing: "Dashuai, I think that instead of leading the army back to Chang'an City, the imperial capital, and being unjustly killed by His Majesty's killers, it is better to take the risk and fight, according to what Zhang Baoxiang Zhang Commander said, it is reported that Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan led hundreds of thousands of troops to invade the Tang Dynasty. Let His Majesty order the commander and I to lead the army to quell the rebellion. As long as we can defeat Xue Yantuo, Tuyuhun, the countries of the Western Regions, Persia, and Dashi, Dashuai and I will inevitably go down in history, even if we die, it is not in vain to walk in this world. ”
Li Jing nodded frequently.
After that, Li Jing and Li Ji summoned the generals. Inform the generals of the news of Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan's invasion of the Tang Dynasty, although all the generals felt that this matter was very suspicious, but they were still interested. They are also reluctant to return to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, for them to rely on military merits. For the generals who have been promoted and made a fortune, their best place to go is naturally the battlefield, although there are risks on the battlefield, but the battlefield is a good place to make military achievements. The more you catch, the faster you will be promoted. Besides, Datang is now well-equipped. Well-trained, to deal with a large country like the Turks, there is still a death ratio of 1:5, and if the Tang Dynasty is killed or wounded, it will cost the Turks five casualties. Fighting against Xue Yantuo, this death rate is afraid that it will be higher, and for every person killed or injured in the Tang Dynasty, the subordinates of Xue Yantuo's department are afraid that there will be more casualties. Therefore, the generals are also reluctant to return to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and returning to Chang'an City will inevitably mean disarmament, they are all brothers who fight side by side, and whoever is dismissed will probably feel uncomfortable. Therefore, the generals were also very willing to cooperate with the marshal Li Jing and the deputy marshal Li Ji to act together to defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops led by the Zhenzhu Khan Yinan of the Xue Yantuo Department who came to invade the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing that the generals are also thinking like this. So, Li Jing handed the Tang Emperor Li Shimin the letter that falsely claimed that Xue Yantuo was the commander of the Zhenzhu Khan Yinan of the 200,000 army to invade the Tang Dynasty.
This letter seemed to the 400,000 troops on the border of Li Jing and Li Ji to be a life-saving letter, but it made the Tang Emperor Li Shimin mistakenly believe that it was evidence of Li Jing's rebellion.
Tang Emperor Li Shimin thought about it all night, but he still couldn't understand why Li Jing was so twisted and turned, lying that Xue Yantuo was the true pearl Khan of the Tang Dynasty and invaded the Tang Dynasty? I don't understand why Li Jing is opposed? He was not thin on him Li Jing, at the beginning, the Emperor Taishang wanted to kill Li Jing, but he saved his life on the grounds that talents were rare; After that, he recommended Li Jing to conquer Bashu, Ping Xiao Milling, and Ping Jianghuai, it can be said that without himself, there would be no him Li Jing is famous all over the world today; Before the Xuanwumen Change, Li Jing refused his request and failed himself, but not only did he not blame him, but also added him to the rank of knight, and now let Li Jing lead the 400,000 Northern Expeditionary Army, take the stage to pay homage to the general, and award him the general's seal and edict, which is extremely glorious. He has never had the slightest disappointment to Li Jing, but why did Li Jing rebel today and fail himself? This Li Jing is really extremely hateful and tiresome.
After thinking about it all night, Tang Emperor Li Shimin decided to solve this matter and solve Li Jing's confidant. While ordering Li Jing to return to Beijing alone to resume his life, he also summoned his old department of the Qin Palace, preparing to raise troops to rebel.
In the clouds, the commander of the Tang Northern Expeditionary Army, Li Jing's battalion.
Li Jing, commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty and general of the auxiliary state, sat on the top of the commander.
Li Ji, deputy commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army and champion general, and Su Dingfang, Li Jing's beloved disciple and forward general, sat on both sides of Li Jing's head, and Li Jing's henchman and guard commander Zhang Baoxiang stood behind Li Jing.
Li Jing took out the edict of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty asking him to return to Beijing to restore his life, and asked Li Ji, Su Dingfang, and Zhang Baoxiang: "You all take a look, what should Ben Shuai do?" ”
After Li Ji, Su Dingfang, and Zhang Baoxiang all read it, after some contemplation, Su Dingfang said: "Dashuai, the last general thinks that Dashuai must not be edicted and go to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, alone." Once out of the army, the marshal arrived in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty alone, and a team of soldiers sent by His Majesty could put the marshal to death, and why didn't His Majesty summon the marshal to return to Beijing alone earlier, and not summon the marshal to return to Beijing at this time, but at this time to summon the marshal to return to Beijing to resume his life, the last general speculated that there must be a problem in some link, and His Majesty found that the marshal's recital had lied about the news that the Turkic Pearl Khan Yinan led the army to invade the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty is afraid that at this time, he has already decided that the marshal has rebelled, so he can't wait to summon the marshal to return to Beijing alone. (To be continued.) )
