After refusing to get married, Luo Shixin initially felt that with Li Yuan's calf protection character, he had to put on small shoes for himself and wait for trouble. But for a long time, there was no news, and every time he had to go to the court to meet Li Yuan on the day of the pilgrimage, Li Yuan turned a blind eye to him, as if he hadn't seen it.

Luo Shi's confidence gradually dawned on him, it must be Princess Pingyang, she protected herself, if she hadn't taken care of her. With Li Yuan's calf protector's heart, it is impossible to treat this incident as if it never happened.

Thinking of this, Luo Shi's confidence is a little blocked, she owes Pingyang too much, she can't give what she wants, she really can't help her. looked at the back of the military generals in the court, second only to Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, and remembered the dream I had last night, if it was true, how good would it be...... It's a pity that Pingyang is the eldest princess, the princess with the highest status, how can it be ......

Not to mention that Binh Duong is now in the office.

After the New Year, Princess Pingyang once again entered the political arena, and was named Sikong, the Governor of Youzhou, the General of the Right Guard, and the Shangzhu State by Li Yuan, and became one of the three dukes, the third in command of Li Tang's military, and became the only woman in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.

The official rank system in the early Tang Dynasty was very chaotic, which was also related to Li Yuan's calf protection mentality, he seemed to want to give all the powerful official positions to his son, such as Li Shimin's Tiance General, Taiwei, Left and Right Twelve Wei Generals, Shang Shuling, Yongzhou Mu, Shaanxi Eastern Dao Daxing Tai Shang Shuling, Yizhou Dao Xingtai Shang Shuling, Liangzhou Governor, Qin Wang. Another example is Li Yuanji's Situ, Shizhong, Bingzhou Governor, Zuowei General, Shangzhu State, and now Pingyang's Sikong, Youzhou Governor, Right Guard General, Shangzhu State.

Except for sons and daughters. No one else has such an honor.

However, in all fairness, with Pingyang's military exploits to the Tang Dynasty, it is more than enough to award this position. If it weren't for being a daughter. has a congenital disadvantage, Li Yuanji is not qualified to stand on her head at all.

How did Li Yuanji's credit come from, he followed Li Shimin to become a deputy marshal with the emperor's son, and then played soy sauce, showed his martial bravery, and Li Shimin, who had a tactical strategy or something, won the battle by destroying the withering and decaying. Li Shimin ranked first. Li Yuanji, the deputy marshal, also got the second merit beautifully. But when it comes time for him to lead the troops alone, then hehe, stay in Taiyuan. When Liu Wu came on Monday, he was so frightened that he directly gave up Li Tang's Longxing land, fled back to Chang'an, and asked Li Shimin to wipe his buttocks. Liu Heimin rises. Li Yuanji was so frightened that he didn't dare to send troops. Such people. If it weren't for the father who guarded the calf, how could he be qualified to climb to such a high position, and being a charging general would be to the top. On the other hand, Pingyang, based on Guanzhong with the strength of one person, made the first contribution to Li Tang to build the Tang Dynasty, and this alone was enough to surpass Li Yuanji. Not to mention the proud achievements of leading Li Yi and Luo Shixin to annihilate the Turkic army.

Li Tang did not prohibit women from being officials, and Pingyang has a proud record, for her entry. There was no one in the Manchu Dynasty who had two words.

Because of this, Luo Shixin can meet Binh Duong almost every day. Or on the way to the official residence. Or when you go home at night, or it's the pantry court party of the Shuowang pilgrimage.

Every time the two meet, they seem to have something to say, but they have a feeling that they don't know how to speak.

There are a little unspeakable questions about each other.

After the New Year, the envoys of other countries have gone, leaving behind optimism and praise for the prospects of the Tang Dynasty, and Chang'an has also recovered its stability.

Luo Shixin was finally able to devote all his attention to the restructuring of the right Xiaowei, and after a period of habit, the main purpose of the new operation mode has been achieved, and only some small problems need to be eliminated. As for the Mo Dao Army, the effect was even more unexpected than he expected.

After two months of training, the Modao army has been thoroughly familiar with the Modao array created by Li Jing, the flag is waved during the day, and the golden gong is sounded at night, and the five thousand soldiers and horses move crosswise like a flock of geese moving south, and the formation is completed in the shortest possible time, and the footsteps are not chaotic at all.

With 5,000 Mo sword soldiers in hand, Luo Shixin was confident that he would not weaken his momentum against the Turkic cavalry within four times of his strength, and he would not show defeat.

Regarding Kratos, Roesin initially feared that he would not fit in with the group, but later found that his worries were purely unnecessary.

Kratos is second only to him in the entire Right Guard in terms of foot combat, but because of his original identity as a slave, he has never been aware of a strong master. He is very polite when he gets along with others, meticulous and conscientious about his work, and as long as someone asks for his advice, he never puts it off and does his best. That serious attitude quickly won the unanimous love of the jumping soldiers.

Luo Shixin also promoted him to be the captain of the jumping soldiers as a matter of course. Because he was worried that Kratos would not be suitable for the battle array team of the Modao Formation and the tactics and strategies of the Han people, he specially gave him two veterans as vice captains to teach him the essentials.

As a result, Kratos once again surprised Luo Shixin.

He's a genius.

is like the imbecile Forrest Gump in "Forrest Gump", a character who can be called a genius by the instructor.

Kratos is also a type of genius, he has a negative IQ and a bad brain, but he will memorize by rote and teach him how to do it. Let him take three steps forward, even if there is a big pit in front of him, he will not be flexible, walk into the pit without saying a word, let him retreat, even if you pull the donkey with the ox, you can't change his direction.

Whenever he watched Kratos carry out every simple order as if he were a holy order, Luo Shixin couldn't help but think that if he gave me 5,000 such geniuses, he would not be afraid even against Li Shimin's Xuanjia army.

**********

Yuyang Palace.

King Yan, who has always been reluctant to go to the court, opened his way, and frowned at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces under the court, and roared dissatisfiedly: "Lao Tzu raised you all to eat dry rice? We don't even have the ability to put together the seedlings, and if we don't solve this problem, what will we eat in the fall? ”

Gao Kaidao was upset, and the recent passing year was unfavorable. The Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and they are most touched by the Turkic guards at the border. The founding of the Tang Dynasty adopted the military system of the 12 armies in Guanzhong, which to put it bluntly was to divide Guanzhong into 12 regions, establish military governments respectively, and train soldiers.

The main combat power of the Tang Dynasty to dominate the world came from the Twelfth Army in this pass, known as the Twelve Army's defense of the world, so at that time, Li Tang's army presented two extremes. Guanzhong was already a fierce people, and the division of the 12th Army was led by Li Shimin himself, and its combat effectiveness was extremely strong. However, because the main battle force of the Tang Dynasty was dominated by the 12th Army, the combat effectiveness of the border army was relatively poor.

In the past, once there was an economic crisis, Gao Kaidao said hello to the Turkic father, and he could return with a full load of invasion and plunder. But with the unification of the world, the center of gravity of Datang began to bias towards the periphery, and the combat effectiveness of the border army also became stronger.

Gao Kaidao found that he could no longer defeat the Tang border army with the military strength in his hands, and he intended to take advantage of the festive surprise attack on Youzhou to plunder for a good New Year. When Shi Wang, the governor of Youzhou, heard the news, he directly led 5,000 soldiers and horses to intercept him along the way and drove him back to Yuyang.

Because of the Turkic labor mobilization last year, the Turkic Lao Tzu who was welcomed by Gao Kaidao not only did not obtain any supplies, but also ate and drank in Yuyang, and ate Yuyang poor and white.

In the winter of that year, because there was really no way to continue, everyone in the city ate the rice seeds of the following year, and barely survived the cold winter.

But in the spring, when everything is recovering, there are no spring seedlings to plant around Yuyang. No seedlings means no hope, no food, no qiē.

In the face of this scene, there are more and more fugitives.

So far, it is still under control, but once the rice planting envoy has passed, the peasants and people still can't get the spring seedlings, as long as they are not fools, they can analyze that the famine is coming. At that time, the mass exodus will not be under his control.

Although Gao Kaidao is brave and unscrupulous, he can also see the key, he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he can only take his subordinates out of anger.

What kind of boss, what kind of little brother.

Gao Kaidao looks like a savage bear, what good subordinates can he have, a group of people can rob their homes and rob their homes to kill the enemy, and everything in the territory is nonsense.

Originally, there were some scholars to help, but Gao Kaidao disdained to be in the company of scholars, and was humiliated at every turn, and the last one ran away angrily. The remaining group of martial artists who only knew how to fight and kill were like taking dumb medicine at this moment, unable to speak.

said that it was a meeting in the court, and more than a dozen henchmen were like, as if they were comparing to see who could survive without speaking.

Gao Kaidao was really impatient to wait, and shouted: "Xie Ling, Zhang Junli, Zhang Jinshu, you come and see what the way is." ”

Xie Ling, Zhang Junli, and Zhang Jinshu are the highest-ranking generals under Gao Kaidao, and they are in charge of all the soldiers and horses in Yuyang.

Gao Kaidao saw that no one spoke, so he directly named them by name and asked them to express their opinions.

The three of them stood up hard.

Zhang Junli said first: "The only way to do this is to plunder Youzhou and Yizhou, and obtain resources from Li Tang to enrich my Yuyang, which can solve the dilemma faced by my Yuyang." ”

Gao Kaidao opened his mouth and scolded: ", I can't think of this...... Lao Tzu will kill the people who started in this business, if you can rob it too early, wait until you come to say. ”

Zhang Jun's face was red, and he couldn't say a word.

Xie Ling said at this time: "Our strength is insufficient, and we can use the power of the grassland." He saw that Gao Kaidao had a scolding posture again, and hurriedly said: "It's not Turkic, Turkic is no longer reliable." It is unlikely that we will be given any support until autumn arrives. The last general is talking about the Xi people, as far as I know, the Xi people have more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in five divisions, and they are brave and good at fighting without losing to the Turkic cavalry. Li Tang has long been jealous of Li Tang's wealth, but he can't afford to offend the Turks, and he can't be adjacent to Li Tang, so he can only be anxious. As long as the lord can open the door of convenience, negotiate an alliance with the leader of the Xi tribe, and lead the Xi soldiers into Youzhou, how can the border army of Youzhou resist? When the time comes, he will rob their treasure women, we will rob our seedlings, and after the withdrawal of the army, we will be able to get a piece of the pie from the Xi people, and the crisis of my Dayan will be solved. ”

Gao Kaidao turned cloudy and sunny, and laughed: "Isn't there a way, it's so decided." General Xie, the responsibility of contacting the Xi clan will be entrusted to you. (To be continued......)
