I'm tired!

Luo Shixin felt a little dizzy in his head, this Turkic invasion, the strength of the army is unknown, at the earliest it was only 123,000 yuan. However, with the domination of the Tang Dynasty, the number of troops dispatched by the Turks also increased in a geometric shape. Especially in recent years, there have been no less than 100,000 in the amount, and the largest number of three-way armies is 200,000.

200,000 cavalry, an average of two or three horsemen per person, four or five hundred thousand war horses, that might be really terrifying.

With 20,000 Tianjie troops going north to resist a Turkic army of at least 100,000 and at most more than 200,000, Li Shimin really dared to think.

Gritted his teeth, thinking that Datang's danger today was closely related to his mention of La Luoyi going into the water, and the cause he planted should be resisted by himself, so he immediately stood up and said: "It's okay!" No matter how many Turkic soldiers and horses there were, the last general would desperately crucify the Turkic soldiers and horses in the north to prevent them from going south. Don't let them threaten the safety of Your Majesty and affect the overall situation of the war. ”

"Hah!" Li Shimin laughed, "I knew that the general would answer like this, in terms of daring to fight and being able to fight, the general will not give in to my Tang Dynasty." He bowed deeply to Li Yuan and said, "Father, at this extraordinary time, you should use extraordinary methods." Erchen Tiyì, when General Xu was the general of the Guannai Dao marching army, was in charge of the northern war. ”

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, everyone in the hall was in an uproar, and Luo Shixin was really startled.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty is divided by roads, and is divided into ten roads: Guannei, Henan, Hedong, Hebei, Shannan, Longyou, Huainan, Jiangnan, Jiannan, and Lingnan. Such as Youju Road, Yeonju Road, Gyeongju Road and so on.

But all wars. Most of the Li Tang Dynasty would appoint a small road, the commander of the army, as the general of the march, who would be responsible for the military administration in the province and use it as a base for marching operations. That is, the commander of the theater of operations. However, Guannei Dao is one of the ten major daos, and it is the one with the highest status among the ten daos, Linglong, Jing, Yuan, Ning, Qing, Dun, Fang, Dan, Yan, Ling, Wei, Hui, Yan, Xia, Sui, Yin, You, Sheng, Feng 20, a state capital.

The position of the general manager of the Guannei Road march means that the soldiers, horses, and military resources of the twenty-one state capitals in the north are at the mercy of Luo Shixin, who is in charge of the military administration of one-tenth of the entire Tang Dynasty.

"This ......" Luo Shixin frightened Li Shimin, and said busily: "The last general is still young. How can he dare to take on such a heavy responsibility. ”

At this critical time, Li Yuan also showed extraordinary courage. "Although the qualifications of the generals are shallow, when it comes to military exploits, there are few comparisons. What's more, as King Qin said, this is an extraordinary moment. We're stuck in Phoenix Valley right now. When will the Turks come. I don't know where I've been. If you are appointed as the head of the Suizhou Road march, in case the Turks come from Yanzhou, why will you interfere in the military affairs of Yanzhou? ”

Li Yuan also saw the key to Li Shimin's appointment, and said categorically: "This matter cannot be discussed anymore, so it has been decided." Besides, what are you afraid of, even if you are the general manager of the Guannei Dao march, you are still under the control of the Heavenly Ce General of King Qin, but when he has not arrived at the front line. It's just that you're in charge of the military affairs for the time being. ”

"The last general commands!" Luo Shixin also knew that Li Shimin's arrangement was reasonable, and he did not refuse. Compared with resisting the Turks with a 20,000-day army, his confidence is more than a little bit stronger.

Li Shimin continued: "As for the child, when you leave the Phoenix Valley, you can transfer troops to Chang'an, gather the twelve guards, solve the danger of the Phoenix Valley first, and then go north to support the general and drive back the group of Turkic soldiers who are not open-eyed." Let them know that my Datang is no longer what it used to be. If they want to take advantage of my Datang, they are not qualified. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Pingyang again, and said deeply: "As for the safety of my father, I have to rely on the second sister...... Once Luo Yi and Yang Wengan find that the general is resisting the Turkic soldiers and horses, and I lead the Chang'an troops to support, they will definitely change their tactics and attack the Phoenix Valley. To be honest, the second sister has the heaviest burden, even if the general and I lose for a while, there is still a chance to recover, once the second sister loses, Datang will be finished. ”

Pingyang Fengyan picked and said: "The difficult ones are all let you choose, the safety of a Phoenix Valley can't be guarded, I Pingyang will have no face to see people, you can rest assured." It's just that the other party is heavily guarded, how do you get out? ”

Li Shimin said confidently: "I have already calculated about this, after learning that Yang Wengan rebelled, just in case." I sent my henchmen to find out if there was a way out of the mountain. A dangerous passage was discovered that led to the rear camp of the enemy camp, which could send a small number of people to the rear camp of the enemy. I have also personally investigated that the defense of that place is a little lax, and the next battalion is where they store their horses, and if we break through this camp, we can take the horses away. I believe that a thousand people will not be able to stop the general and the fierce generals under my command, and kill them before they can react. That mountain road, which only allows a few people to pass, is extremely dangerous. As long as fifty archers are arranged afterwards to guard the cliff, even if they have an army of 30,000, they will not be able to help you. ”

Seeing that Li Shimin had arranged it step by step, and the step by step arrangement was reasonable, Li Yuan's originally panicked mood gradually settled down. Squinting at his son's confident talk, his face was radiant, and his heart was comforted, proud, and at the same time a little heavy and sour...... This second son is born with a talented talent, and the only biggest problem is that he is a little disobedient...... It's not as docile as Li Jiancheng. But Li Jiancheng's fault this time is too great......

"What King Qin said is extremely reasonable!" Li Yuan's eyes swept over Li Shimin, Luo Shixin, and Pingyang, and said, "Datang will entrust it to the three of them this time." ”

Li Shimin, Luo Shixin, and Pingyang stepped forward and said, "I am willing to serve my father (His Majesty)." ”

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Erlang and Eunuch Pei stay, and the rest of you go and prepare." ”

After a while, only Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Pei Lin were left in the entire hall.

Li Yuan came to Li Shimin, stretched out his palm and patted him on the shoulder, and said warmly: "My son is the number one general in the world, and he has millions of divine soldiers in his chest, and he will definitely be able to save the crisis again this time and get full merit." Yang Wengan conspired against him, and Luo Yi, a thief, aided and abused them, leading them to collude with the Turks to cause trouble, causing today's crisis. The root cause is that your eldest brother used people improperly, bent the law for personal gain, and violated the laws of the imperial court. has caused such a big disaster, the world is shaken, and he is afraid that he will not be able to keep his position as the prince. ”

Li Shimin bowed his head and said nothing, but ecstasy appeared in his heart.

Pei Lin on the side was also shocked, and he was already mentally prepared for Li Yuan's next words.

After a pause, it seemed that a long time had passed, and then he heard Li Yuan say: "Thinking about the Taiyuan army back then, only you assisted by your father's side, not to mention the conquest and expansion of the territory after the founding of the country, in terms of the merits of leveling the world, you are incomparable." Maybe that's providence...... After your triumphant return, your father canonized you as the crown prince and entered the East Palace. ”

Rao was mentally prepared, but Li Shimin still couldn't help but shake his body.

And Pei Lin exclaimed even more in surprise.

Feeling the vibration of his body under his palms, Li Yuan said earnestly: "As for Jiancheng, he is your brother after all. The father was also unwilling to follow the example of Emperor Wen of Sui to kill his own son...... I belittled him as the king of Shu. You also know the situation in Shudi, it is located in a remote area, and the soldiers and horses are weak, so you can spend this life in peace. Erlang, your eldest brother has always treated you well, and he really doesn't have any thoughts about you and me. If he can truly serve you as the Lord and not fight with you on another day, for the sake of his father, you will protect his life of happiness...... And to be a father is content. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuan, an emperor and a big man, couldn't help but shed tears. As the Ninth Five-Year Honor, the most powerful person in the world, finally realized the helplessness brought by power.

Li Shimin's heart throbbed, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times and said: "The child will never forget his father's teachings today in this life." ”

Li Shimin returned to Huihe Hall and made resolute arrangements to break through tonight.

didn't seem very happy about Li Yuan's promise to him as the crown prince, but only mentioned it to Fang Du and other henchmen.

Many henchmen were overjoyed, but seeing that Li Shimin was in a different mood, he didn't express much excitement in his personal spirit.

Cheng Yanjin suddenly walked in with his head held high, and reported: "There is a Yuan outside the house who asked the chief of the guard of the forbidden army to see His Highness. ”

"You old thing, confused, what is the identity of His Royal Highness King Qin, and he can see it when he sees it?" It was Hou Junji who spoke, relying on his high qualifications and weight, and he had a sense of excellence for a descendant like Cheng Yanjin, so he was not very respectful to him, and said half-jokingly.

Cheng bites the gold in the thick and fine, how can he not know, but he is like Zhao Shilin, and deliberately retreats to Lian Po's provocation. Maybe Gan Luo is indeed not as good as him, but compared to his open-mindedness, the old and rough Cheng Biting Jin will finish Hou Junji's ten streets.

Cheng Yanjin ignored Hou Junji and continued to say to Li Shimin: "The chief of the guard is responsible for guarding His Royal Highness the Prince, Lao Cheng has seen it. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the hall.

"You all go out, Lao Cheng and Shubao just stay." Li Shimin ordered, and all the two people in the hall retreated cleanly, except for the two people who were designated.

A middle-aged man in the uniform of the forbidden army approached the main hall, fell directly to the ground with a plop, and respectfully knelt down to Li Shimin to salute.

Li Shimin stepped sideways, did not accept a big gift, frowned and said, "Who are you and why do you give me this big gift?" ”

The middle-aged man said in a hoarse voice: "Eunuch Zhang appointed me and ten others to protect the safety of the crown prince, we have always admired the prestige of His Royal Highness King Qin, and we are willing to serve His Royal Highness." As long as His Highness gives an order, we dare to honor His Highness with our lives and remove future troubles for His Highness. ”

Li Shimin was stunned, and with an indifferent tone, he said softly: "Your mind is accepted alone." Go back to protect the prince, you don't have to act rashly. ”

Ignoring it, the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground turned around and left. (To be continued......)
