"Eighty thousand troops!" Shangguan Yi and the other civil officials all changed their faces drastically when they heard this, and Qin Huaiyu's expression also became solemn, the current defenders of Songzhou are more than 10,000 people, which is a disparity of eight to one troops.
Li Su nodded and asked the soldiers to retreat, war is not child's play, after all, he has always lived in a peaceful era and has never experienced war, not to mention this kind of cold weapon war, it is impossible to say that he is not nervous, not to mention this kind of war with a huge disparity.
"Eighty thousand?" Zhu Youzhi sneered, "This is just a false momentum, Tuyuhun is a nomadic tribe, every time there is a war, the people and cattle and sheep migrate with the army, it is said that there are 80,000, and the army that can fight can have 40,000 people, Your Highness does not need to worry too much, you should not be able to hold on now, and then find an opportunity to attack when Tuyuhun's sharp spirit is frustrated." ”
Qin Huaiyu wrinkled his brows and said: "What you said makes sense, but these 40,000 people are not a small number, and most of them are cavalry, which are highly mobile and not easy to concentrate on annihilation." ”
Li Su looked at the officials with different expressions of eyes, and said: "It's useless to talk about it now, today Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu will go to Songzhou with me to personally supervise the battle, and Shangguanyi will lead hundreds of officials to handle government affairs and appease the people." ”
"Your Highness, no, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, in case Your Highness has a misstep......" Cui Zhang stood up and persuaded.
Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu also persuaded: "Your Highness, let's go to Songzhou, Your Highness is still sitting in Yizhou!" The other officials echoed in unison, and they did not want Li Su to go to Songzhou.
"You don't have to persuade me anymore, the Tang Dynasty established the country with force, and my father was still able to fight in the south and north in the turbulent era at the end of the Sui Dynasty at the age of a weak crown. I am not afraid of the heroes, how can I be a turtle with a shrunken head and hide in Yizhou to enjoy peace, if Songzhou is broken, Yizhou will also suffer. What Li Su said was the true thought in his heart, and it was difficult to become an adult without tempering. He did this to temper himself, but also to establish his prestige in the army.
Li Su said this, although Shangguan Yi and others still did not want Li Su to come to the war in their hearts, they could not refute it, as Li Su said, Songzhou was broken. How can Yizhou be peaceful.
Each official was assigned a task, and Jin Daqian began to pack up for Li Su, and he didn't know how much time it would take to go to Songzhou.
Cui Yingying and Su Mo'er were very worried when they learned that Li Su was going to Songzhou, Cui Yingying shed tears a few times, and Su Mo'er's eyes were also red, but Li Su had made up her mind. They knew that persuasion was useless, so they could only pack up their things with Jin Daqian and bring them to Li Su.
In the afternoon, Qin Huaiyu and Zhu Youzhi, who were dressed in military uniforms, came to the palace, and Li Su also put on the plate armor carefully built for him by Taoyuan, which is not only a high-strength aluminum alloy, but also sewn a high-strength carbon fiber cloth purchased by Li Su from Hyundai in the inner lining, which is a high-strength flexible material. Often used by the construction industry to strengthen the building structure, Li Tuqi wanted to use it on the armor, after the trial he felt that the effect was good, the defect of this plate armor is that it is afraid of the blow of a blunt object, and now the sewing of carbon fiber basically overcomes this defect.
Standing in the sun, the plate armor on Li Su's body shines with silver brilliance, Li Su has not slackened his sword practice, and the long-term training has made his body very strong, at this time, wearing armor is decent, and he has a unique temperament.
"Warbler. The affairs of this manor and the farm will be handed over to you, if you don't understand anything, you can ask Jin Daqian to find Tong Yu, I have explained to him the matter of oil extraction and boiling white sugar, and he will send a craftsman. Before leaving, Li Su gave some things to Cui Yingying. lest as soon as he leaves, the affairs of Yizhou will be messed up.
Cui Yingying's tears fell again, and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Yingying remembers, but Your Highness must be careful." ”
Li Su nodded, and said to Jin Daqian: "I have prepared all the winter wheat seeds for you, the harvest of rice, the planting of wheat, all of them will be handed over to you, don't go on a business trip." ”
"The old slave remembers." Jin Daqian's worry was written on his face, originally he wanted to follow Li Su to Songzhou to take care of Li Su, but these things couldn't leave him, so he could only let Rongda follow Li Su to Songzhou.
After explaining the rest of the things clearly, Li Su left the palace, and Rongda was holding the red boy at the door and waiting for Li Su.
Everyone sent Li Su to the door, and Li Su said: "Let's all go back, how can I say that Songzhou still has Niu Jinda's old general in charge, and it will be fine." ”
But even if Li Su said this, Cui Yingying and the officials of Yizhou still sent Li Su to the gate of the city, and Cui Yingying said to Rong Da: "When you arrive in Songzhou, you must take care of Your Highness, otherwise you will come back to see how I will clean you up." ”
Rongda had a bitter face and said, "Don't worry, princess, Rongda will take care of His Highness even if he gives up his life." ”
"Let's all go back!" Li Su persuaded, this made him go forever, and after that, he whipped the red boy on the buttocks, and the red boy spread his hooves and ran forward, Qin Huaiyu and Zhu Youzhi immediately followed.
At the beginning of this year, Tuyuhun has repeatedly invaded Lanzhou and other places, the Tang army and Tuyuhun's army are fighting and stopping, at the beginning of the Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun seemed to want to make peace with Li Shimin and sent an envoy to pay tribute to Li Shimin, but not long after the envoy left, Tuyuhun's army began to attack Shanzhou, according to the details to report that it was a minister of Tuyuhun who was instigated by King Tianzhu.
Li Shimin was very angry and sent a messenger to summon Fu Yun to Chang'an to meet him, but Fu Yun pretended to be sick and refused, and asked Li Shimin to marry a princess to his son Zunwang, Tuyuhun had already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, so Li Shimin agreed, but King Zun began to pretend to be sick and refused to marry the princess, so Li Shimin was furious and canceled the marriage, and Fu Yun accused Li Shimin of being untrustworthy at this time Songzhou, and this was completely out of Li Shimin's expectations, because Tuyuhun had never attacked Songzhou in the past.
In the early dynasty, Li Shimin told the matter and asked the minister's opinion, and for a while the court was silent, Wei Zheng glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and then at Fang Xuanling, and saw that the two of them were asleep, so he came out and said: "Your Majesty, Songzhou is now subordinate to Chengdu Mansion, and now the king of Chengdu is also responsible for the border, so the siege of Songzhou should be solved by the king of Chengdu himself, and the king of Chengdu has also recruited more than 20,000 soldiers on the grounds of the border. ”
These words came out of Wei Zheng's mouth, and Li Shimin had no reason to refute it, Li Yu's power was big enough, and this right had made many nobles dissatisfied, and even some people began to secretly instigate other princes to ask for a separation, and this was especially the most active Li You in Qizhou, and his mother Concubine Yin had already mentioned this matter in front of Li Shimin, but Li Shimin suppressed it and ignored it.
"Your Majesty, what Wei Zheng said is also the opinion of the ministers, since ancient times, responsibilities and obligations have coexisted, Chengdu Mansion is now counted as a country within the country, resisting foreign enemies is within the responsibility of the six princes, and should no longer rely on the power of the imperial court, and Chengdu Mansion is now full of grain, grass and horses, and it will take months for the imperial court to convene soldiers and horses, and the amount of money and grain consumed during this period is really more than worth the loss." The eldest grandson Wuji spoke, what he was waiting for was Wei Zheng to speak first, and he had never liked to do things like to be a bird.
Fang Xuanling also said at this time: "When the ten states of Shu were divided into the six princes, it was clearly said that the six princes needed to bear the responsibility of defending the border, if they didn't do this, I'm afraid that the other princes would also have ideas in their hearts. ”
Li Shimin frowned slightly, it is really a special situation to divide Li Su as the king of Chengdu, Li Shimin does not want to continue to divide other princes, because the lessons of the predecessors are here, a Li Su He can still control it, but there are too many, and he is not sure.
"Your Majesty, since the six princes did not ask the court for help, it means that the six princes still have the confidence to resist Tuyuhun, if he can't resist it, he will ask the court for help, and it will not be too late to join the army at that time." Cen Wenwen stood up at this time and said.
Li Shimin thought for a while, and felt that what Cen Wenwen said made sense, it was not appropriate to send troops directly now, and Li Su did not indicate that he could not resist Tuyuhun, Li Su may have his own ideas, and he deliberately left Niu Jinda, a veteran, there, just to assist Li Su.
Cen Wenwen's words were impeccable, and all the ministers agreed with it, and Li Shimin stopped talking about this topic and began to discuss other court affairs.
After a day and a night of trekking, Li Su arrived at Songzhou at noon the next day, and went out to greet him in addition to Xue Rengui, as well as Niu Jinda, whom he had met a year ago.
"Xue Rengui see His Highness!"
"Niu Jinda see His Highness!"
Li Su got off the horse, and the two bowed to Li Su at the same time, Li Su helped them up one by one, and said with a smile: "No courtesy!" ”
Now Xue Rengui and Niu Jinda are both wearing plate armor produced in Taoyuan, and the two of them are standing together like two steel giants, and the soldiers at the city gate and the soldiers at the city gate are also wearing the same style of armor, holding a compound bow and a horizontal knife in their hands, and their faces are stern.
After observing the military appearance of the Songzhou defenders, Li Su was a little relieved, although there were few 10,000 people, they were all elite divisions that had undergone strict training.
Zhu Youzhi was also looking at the soldiers, nodding his head constantly, obviously very satisfied with these soldiers, Qin Huaiyu was not much surprised, his set had already been learned by Xue Rengui, and several people combined with the training methods of the Tang Dynasty itself to study a unique set of training methods to implement in the army, it can be said that these soldiers have received formal training.
And when Li Su first came to Yizhou, many soldiers were malnourished, the food in the army was very poor, and the soldiers could only eat half full, but this situation has changed since Li Su came, and now the Songzhou defenders eat all the grain transported from Yizhou, daily rice, white flour steamed buns, all kinds of vegetables, although the meat is less, but there are also some different times and five, the living conditions are not the same, the nutrition can keep up, and the hard training, these soldiers' bodies are strong like cattle.
