Section 499 Countdown to Liaodong

Li Yuanxing is going to Liaodong, which is a piece of news that has shocked both the government and the public.

It is not possible to go to Liaodong secretly.

Li Er, who heard the news, immediately rushed back to Chang'an, and the first thing he said after seeing Li Yuanxing was: "Wulang, do you want to make the frontier restless?" ”

"Is it that serious?" Li Yuanxing didn't understand it very much.

Li Er did not answer, but asked Li Yuanxing to follow him to the study of the palace.

At the door of the study, Li Er said to Gonggong Gao: "Go check the case file and go to the Ministry of Rites to transfer the file." According to the decree of the Tang Dynasty, what is the full set of honor guards for the prince's long journey? What will be the honor guard of King Qin's long journey? Admiral Tiance travels to inspect the configuration of the guards on the frontier? ”

Gao Gonggong stood still.

Li Yuanxing smiled self-deprecatingly: "Lao Gao, just say it directly, I'm afraid you can memorize these things." ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, the forbidden army will transfer the elite army. Twelve tunes and two guards are accompanied, each guard is equipped with four armies, military battle armor is accompanied by two armies, a full set of weapons, and light armor is not limited. The Ma Army is the total number of three armies, the whole army of the forbidden army is the Ma Army, and the twelve guards and one army are the Ma Army! Father-in-law Gao followed Li Er into the study and said to Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing was silently calculating in his heart, one army has 12,000 people, and this is nine armies.

One hundred thousand and eight hundred.

This number is really a lot, and this number plus the auxiliary soldiers can reach 200,000, which is about the same as the consumption of a fight.

Li Er sat back on his dragon chair: "Gorou, don't you have to follow the four guards of Tiance?" ”

The number of Tiance four guards is not large, and the four guards have not reached full capacity. It can be said that the four guards of Tiance in the official establishment, all officers, the lowest-level officer is also a captain under the ninth grade, and can lead fifty soldiers.

"Let's be simple and save a little." Li Yuanxing still wants to go.

Li Er smiled coldly: "Brother will tell you a few trade-offs, you should consider whether to go or not." Let's start with it, you have so many people out of Chang'an, and you have to face the Yushitai, because your expenses are too huge. And there is no war in Liaodong, so this is the reason for Yushitai. ”

"That's right. What are the ministers going to do in Liaodong? Won't tell anyone! ”

"Okay, besides, if you bring so many soldiers, all the tribes in the north won't even be able to sleep. You have 100,000 heavy soldiers in your hands, plus 30,000 elites. Any tribe in the north. You can wipe it out with a wave of your hand. You're forcing them to join forces. Because no small state can face your protectors alone! ”

Li Er said this. Li Yuanxing patted his head lightly: "That's the case." ”

"Besides, you choose to follow the light car, the honor guard represents the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, as the king of Tang Qin, if you don't bring the honor guard, are you going to lose the face of the Tang Dynasty? The impeachment of the imperial historians, your watch, can fill the study of the brother. You know our cousin. How much does it cost to go to Gangnam once? ”

Uncle Cousin!

This is a hidden phrase, alluding to Yang Guang. After all, the name Yang Guang can't be mentioned casually.

Li Yuanxing shook his head, he really didn't know this value.

"The first year of Wude, the second year, the third year, the fourth year. All the income of the treasury in the past four years is just enough for him to go south next time. Of course, the treasury of the former Sui was much richer than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the population of the former Sui was also larger. ”

Li Yuanxing smiled: "Brother Huang, don't mention money to your brother, if your brother goes to Liaodong once, even if you spend ten years of money from the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, you can earn back ten times." Liaodong has to go, and the imperial historians will be impeached anyway, so they have to go anyway. ”

"Cui Junsu and Wang Heshan Weishenme went to Yaozhou?"

Li Er asked a question that didn't seem to have any relevance.

Li Yuanxing thought for a while: "I'm afraid they're going to see the excitement, there will be some interesting things happening there in Yaozhou." ”

"Guess for my brother, they decided to go to Yaozhou after hearing you say that you were going to Liaodong!" Li Er secretly pointed at Gonggong Gao, who was very eye-catching, and immediately whispered beside Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness, these two are going to hide." Because Your Highness, when you go to Liaodong, you will ask for money from the Ministry of Households, and second, the Ministry of Rites will be famous! ”

Cunning two guys.

"Must go!" Li Yuanxing gave a very positive request.

Li Er thought about it for a while: "If, I won't persuade you for my brother." But if you want to go, you have to go in a month, and within this month, you will be left to the court to be fully prepared. Li Yuanxing just wanted to agree, but Li Er immediately changed his words: "Don't say a month, even three months, you have to wait, until my brother agrees!" ”

"Good!" Li Yuanxing nodded vigorously.

Li Er wrote a note in front of Li Yuanxing, which was addressed to Tianyingge, the content was that the King of Qin was going to Liaodong to inspect, and I had agreed to this matter, and the jihua, time, and route of the trip would be handled by Tianyingge at his discretion. According to the request of King Qin, consider reducing the number of accompanying guards.

In fact, Li Yuanxing really thinks about this kind of thing simply.

He is going to the frontier, and the Ministry of Rites will inform the small states in this border in advance, and the simple thing is to let these small states feel at ease. Otherwise, the appearance of 100,000 soldiers and horses in the vicinity of these small states will cause panic.

Moreover, Li Yuanxing was still quiet, and he transferred troops to destroy Liang Shidu in the frontier, and the battle example of besieging and killing Jieli Khan was the first.

"Your Highness, Your Highness must not know about the covenant of the Ministry of Rites!" Gao Gonggong spoke again under Li Er's hint.

"Covenant, I really don't know these things!" Li Yuanxing thought about it, he really hadn't read half of the covenant.

"Go, get a copy and show it to Gorou!" Li Er pointed at Gonggong Gao.

"Don't look at it, the royal brother will still say the most important words!" Li Yuanxing said in his heart, I don't care about the covenant.

Li Er thought for a while and said in person: "When the small states formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, one of them stated that His Royal Highness the King of Qin led troops to the frontier, no matter what he did, he had to be formally informed in advance, and there must be a general explanation of the time and route. Among them, the deviation on the route shall not be more than two hundred miles, and the deviation of time shall not be higher than five days. ”

"If anyone wants to ambush me, this is a very good solution!" Li Yuanxing really didn't expect that there would be such a part in the covenant.

Ambush!

Li Er and Li Yuanxing looked at each other, and their eyes became colder and colder.

Just when Gao Gonggong was thinking about whether he should persuade him, he couldn't make up his mind whether he should interject at this time. At this time, Li Er and Li Yuanxing suddenly laughed together, and the two said at the same time: "The ambush is good." ”

What is there to haode in the ambush, Gao Gonggong does not understand at all.

Li Yuanxing thought that the ambush was good, so that his guards could always be vigilant, so that they could be regarded as a real elite army.

The reason why Li Er likes it is that as soon as someone dares to ambush Li Yuanxing, he will mobilize an army to add a piece to his Tang Dynasty's territory.

Recently, seeing that there was more money in the treasury and the warehouse was full of grain, Li Er's heart was looking forward to the war.

But right now, there is no enemy to fight.

And it has been peaceful for less than a year, and if he wants to fight, Tianying Pavilion will not agree.

At this time, Li Yuanxing suddenly asked: "Brother Huang, after having Tianying Pavilion, it feels very good!" ”

"It's not very pleasant, but it's good. Messy official affairs only need to make a charter, and Tianying Pavilion will handle it according to the charter. The efficiency of the government has improved considerably. And another advantage is that some radical ideas for my brother will be persuaded by them, such as a trip to Jiangnan and an expedition, which will definitely not happen in Datang! ”

Li Er said sincerely, this is indeed his sincere thoughts.

Li Yuanxing motioned to Gonggong Gao to help them prepare a refreshment, Gonggong Gao is a person with good eyes and light ideas. Immediately knew that King Qin must have something to say to the saint alone, and immediately withdrew.

Only then did Li Yuanxing say: "Brother Huang, the structure of Tianying Pavilion is. The five industries of soldiers, agriculture, industry, commerce, and soldiers must all have positions. There can be more scholars, but scholars can't only have Confucianism, they must make a comeback, Confucianism's thinking is too simple, once they fight Tianying Pavilion alone, the development of Datang will be considered to the limit! ”

Li Er did not answer, did not object, but did not agree either.

"Imperial Brother, you can carefully observe Tianying Pavilion's discussions."

"No!" Li Er shook his head: "It doesn't have to be so complicated. Brother Wei once told you that when there is no infighting between them, they will come to fight as brothers. But when they fight too fiercely, it is not conducive to the development of the Tang Dynasty, this degree must be mastered, Gorou's proposal is very good, first support the Legalists, the Mo family, the soldiers, and the Zongheng family. Taoists and Buddhism are not allowed to enter the court, and farmers can't get on the big table at the moment! ”

Li Yuanxing did not dwell on this issue anymore.

"Brother Huang just has an idea. The younger brother wanted to ask, in order to persuade the younger brother to go to Liaodong late, should the imperial brother recruit the younger brother into the palace? If you have any questions, just ask! ”

"For my brother, I want to hear you talk about the five wars!"

Five wars, Li Yuanxing's theory of five wars. War of arms, war of money, cold war, cultural war, and psychological war.

Li Yuanxing really wanted to talk to Li Er about the five wars, in later generations, modern warfare is no longer just a soldier-to-soldier battle, it can be said that the forms of war are diversified. These are no longer within the scope of the understanding of the ancient soldiers.

When Li Yuanxing and Li Er were talking about the theory of the Five Wars, Tianyingge had already received Li Er's note.

"Add an urgent issue!"

Because of Wang Jishan's absence, Li Jing temporarily became the presiding officer of the meeting of Tianying Pavilion.

"The King of Qin wants to go to Liaodong to inspect, and the Holy Lord has agreed. Tian Ying Court takes care of the details, including the timing of the trip. His Royal Highness the King of Qin asked for a light car to be followed. Let's discuss! ”

After Li Jing finished speaking, he motioned to the scribe to prepare for the record.

In the venue of the Tianying Pavilion, there were 89 members of the Tianying Pavilion who were actually present, and there were three people who were observing. There are a total of 31 officials of the six ministries who are here to discuss matters, and 12 are qualified to speak on the issues of the Ministry.

But the venue was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

But not half of them spoke. (To be continued......)
