Chapter 49 Marshal Duties
(Yesterday's first shift at 12 o'clock!)
When the Tang Dynasty marched out of the army, especially during the time of Li Longji, the prince would be appointed as the marshal of the soldiers and horses, as the supreme commander of the armies.
But most of this is just a fictitious title, under normal circumstances, the prince does not lead the army to the battle, the imperial court will appoint the prince as the marshal at the same time, and then any warlike general as the deputy marshal, the control of the army, by the deputy marshal actually command the war, just like Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan some time ago.
When Gao Xianzhi was ordered to go on the expedition, he was made to have Li Wan, the king of Rong, as the marshal, and Gao Xianzhi as the deputy marshal; Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were killed, and the imperial court took Ge Shuhan as the deputy marshal, and the marshal was held by the crown prince Li Heng, but Li Heng went to take up the post, and all affairs were handed over to Ge Shuhan.
However, when the generals in the army are called, they will hide the deputy and directly refer to the marshal.
This deputy marshal can be said to be the actual marshal, with great power, and can command any army on the same battlefield, as long as the other party does not hold the post of marshal or deputy marshal. After Ge Shuhan went to Tongguan, he took charge of all the more than 200,000 horses near Tongguan, and he was majestic! Even Yang Guozhong was very jealous, so he set up the 3,000 elites of Li Fude and Liu Guangting, and let his henchman Du Qianyuan lead more than 10,000 people to settle in Ba, the purpose was to guard against a possible threat from Ge Shuhan, but Du Qianyuan's more than 10,000 people were finally annexed by Ge Shuhan.
If Yang Xi could be appointed by the imperial court to the post of deputy marshal of soldiers and horses, as a marshal, to control the army and command the defensive battle of Tongguan, then from now on, he would no longer need to worry about the threat of military generals to the Yang family. After Yang Xi arrived in Tongguan, he performed very well, temporarily deterring the generals, and basically achieved unified dispatch and command of the Tongguan army, Yang Guozhong is also full of confidence in his son's future performance.
However, after Chen Xuanli goes to Tongguan, the situation may change immediately, and it is not necessary for Yang Xi to be marginalized, after all, Chen Xuanli is still quite prestigious, and many of the commanders and generals among the tens of thousands of follow-up are Chen Xuanli's cronies.
Unless Yang Xi gets the title of marshal of the imperial court, he may not necessarily command Chen Xuanli.
Of course, Yang Guozhong knew this, so when he entered the palace today, he wanted to ask for the position of deputy marshal for Yang Xi.
However, he knew that he was a bit of a lion, so before making a report, he greeted the four Yang Yuhuan sisters, and prepared to let the four Yang sisters go to Li Longji to say a lot of kind words in front of Li Longji if he did not allow his own request, so that the emperor agreed to his request.
But what reassured both Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuhuan was that Li Longji immediately agreed, "Hmm! This proposal is good, Ge Shuhan has been relieved of his post as deputy marshal, and he should be given another person to this post to supervise the army! Guozhong, I will agree to your request, grant Yang Xi the post of deputy marshal of soldiers and horses, and save the troops of Tongguan!"
After Li Longji made a decision, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "Then Chen Xuanli will be the envoy of the soldiers and horses of Tongguan, assist Shilang in handling military affairs, and all affairs will be respected by Yang Xi!" Re-grant Shiro the post of General of the Right Dragon Guard! Someone come, immediately spread my will to Tongguan!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him.
He didn't expect the emperor to agree to his request so easily, he originally wanted to persuade him bitterly, and he was also going to let the four sisters of Yang Yuhuan also persuade the emperor, so that the emperor would agree to his request, and grant Yang Xi the position of deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, and the army of Tongguan!
The emperor agreed so easily, and he didn't need the help of Yang Yuhuan's sisters.
Moreover, after the emperor made a decision, he immediately asked people to convey his will, and all Yang Guozhong's worries were eliminated.
After Yang Xi went to Tongguan, Yang Guozhong was very worried that his son could not command the generals of Tongguan, after all, Yang Xi was young and had almost no qualifications, and only the identity of a Tongguan soldier and horse envoy and the sword awarded by the emperor may not be respectable. Moreover, Chen Xuanli led the follow-up army to Tongguan, Yang Guozhong was very afraid that after Chen Xuanli arrived in Tongguan, he would not listen to Yang Xi's orders, and even wanted to oppose the guest, relying on the strong troops in his hands to take charge of Tongguan military affairs!
Now this worry can be basically eliminated, the post of the soldier and horse envoy can be much different from the marshal, the imperial court awarded Yang Xi the post of deputy marshal of the army, and also added a right dragon Wuwei general position, that brother Shuhan and Chen Xuanli did not want to rebel, so they could only obediently obey Yang Xi's dispatch.
Seeing that Yang Guozhong's wish came true, Yang Yuhuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and while continuing to beat Li Longji's back, he said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that your decision must be correct!" His Majesty knows people like a torch, in such a critical situation, dare to appoint Shiro as the Tongguan soldiers and horses, lead the army to first aid, and received the expected results, and now appointed Shiro as the marshal of the Tongguan soldiers and horses, the generals, Shiro will definitely repay His Majesty's trust and reuse with continuous victories! These days, His Majesty has been carrying the military in front of him, and he has not slept well, which has worried his concubines and many Aiqing. Now that everything has been explained, Your Majesty should sleep well!"
said with a very pitiful look.
Although Yang Yuhuan is not young, and these days he has been frightened by the situation of the war in front and some other things, he has not slept well for several nights, and he has to personally take care of Li Longji, who has difficulty sleeping, he is a little haggard, but he still can't hide his country's natural appearance. In addition, the weather is hot, the body is wearing less, the plump posture is difficult to cover, the white and tender skin and the turbulent chest scenery are mostly revealed, which is very eye-catching, these days all the thoughts are on Tongguan, Yang Guozhong, who fell on Yang Xi, couldn't help but take a few more looks, and faintly moved the Adam's apple.
However, his physical function has almost declined, and Li Longji, who has not rested well these days, has caused his physical condition to be even worse, and he can't mention too much of a man's sexual interest in the plump and attractive figure in front of him, and he is familiar with all the scenery, he just patted Yang Yuhuan's hand to beat his back and squeeze it, and smiled slightly: "Yuhuan, I hope everything goes well as you said, so that I don't have to worry about the military affairs of Tongguan anymore!" I can't sleep well these days, I really hope that all the good news from Tongguan is good, and there will be no more urgent reports for help!"
"Your Majesty, you can rest for a long time, the military minister of Tongguan will personally care about it, and the news from Tongguan will be understood and solved as soon as possible, Your Majesty will rest for a good life, if the minister is here, don't worry, don't worry too much, beware of your body!" Yang Guozhong said such a few words that sounded a bit too much in the ears of others, but Li Longji felt very intimate after listening to them, and then said very confidently: "Your Majesty, the minister also believes that Shiro will bring us good news!" In a few days, there will be news that the rebels will be severely damaged and driven out of Tongguan, as long as His Majesty gives Shiro full authority to handle the military affairs of Tongguan, the minister believes that he will not live up to the holy hope!"
