The spring of the first year of Xianqing is very important to the Tang people.

Li Zhi wants to show his supreme majesty in this year.

Wu Mei wanted to replace the crown prince with her son Li Hong.

Li Yifu was ambitious and wanted to use the oracle bone inscription to reshape his voice in the court.

Yun Chu was busy expanding cotton planting, busy tinkering with his cabbage affairs, and busy getting the people of Wannian County out of a single agricultural planting, and then make a fortune, so as to fulfill his long-cherished wish to paste gold leaf on Chang'an.

Following the wishes of the above people, Li Ji is preparing to write a grand narrative about himself on the earth.

Now, with the power of gunpowder, he is intensively arranging the Eastern Crusade, this time the 21 Zhichong Mansions in Longyou, 27 Zhichong Mansions in Shandong, 19 Zhichong Mansions in Hebei, and 700 naval warships, plus 20,000 horses and horses of the left and right military guards, and 500 generals above the seventh grade, a total of 260,000 troops were requisitioned and mobilized to prepare to pacify Goguryeo.

This time, the left and right military guards recruited and transferred troops and horses, Wannian County, and Chang'an County are the key recruitment areas.

The soldiers of Wannian County were dispatched in almost empty groups, and the number of soldiers on the expedition reached a staggering 3,100 people, which almost exceeded the number of troops sent by the two Zhichong Prefectures.

If things are not right, or if there is a catastrophic rout, there will definitely be a scene of crying everywhere in the countryside of Wannian County, and every family wearing filial piety.

It stands to reason that the Tang Dynasty's requisition of government soldiers will definitely not be so inhumane, and a Zhichong Mansion will send up to four regiments, that is, 1,200 people.

However, only one Zhichong Prefecture will appear in a state, that is to say, the number of government soldiers mobilized by Wannian County is not at all conventional.

If only one county in Wannian County is such a levy law, Yun Chu can still appeal, Chang'an County next door sent 2,000 troops this time, Pei Xingjian of the dog day not only did not worry, but asked the emperor to fight with great interest, and said that he would take the soldiers of Chang'an County to Bo to have a chance to seal the marquis immediately.

This blocked the door for Yun Chu to appeal.

The transfer documents of the military department came down, Yun Chu looked at the thick list book, his scalp was numb for a while, and the government soldiers from eighteen to fifty years old were all in the ranks of the recruitment.

Yun Chu, who had experienced a hard war, knew what was going on on the battlefield, and the poem "Soldier Chariot Travel" written by Du Fu in his head immediately sounded like thunder in his mind.

"The new ghost is annoyed and the old ghost is crying, and the sky is cloudy and rainy."

Just when Yun Chu was sitting in the public hall and stroking the thick roster and was distraught, the outside of the county office was noisy like a busy city.

"What's going on out there?"

The irritable Yun Chu roared, and immediately a small official came to report: "County Zun, there are many government soldiers outside, all of whom have come to respond. ”

Yun Chu gritted his teeth and said: "Let their families not make trouble, this time it is the emperor's order, no one can say it, as long as it is on the roster, they will go on the expedition, and they don't have to run." ”

The little official said strangely: "County Zun, no one is running, everyone wants to know if they are on the list now, if there is, go home and prepare equipment, and go to Liaodong immediately." ”

Yun Chu was stunned for a moment and said, "Are they willing to go to Liaodong to fight?" ”

The little official said, "Yes." ”

Yun Chu said: "Why? ”

The little official said: "This time, not to mention that our soldiers are strong and strong, the commander of the army is Yinggong again, and Yinggong has mobilized more than 500 fierce generals above the seventh rank of the Tang Dynasty, and this time I went to destroy Goguryeo."

As long as you follow the army to Liaodong, after that, you don't have to go on it for three years, if you are lucky to follow the right general, maybe you can get some loot back, if you are lucky, you can get some military merits. ”

Yun Chu's eyes widened and said, "Who said this?" ”

The little official pointed outside and said, "What those government soldiers said, some old people who are obviously over fifty years old have come to ask. ”

Yun Chu threw down the roster when he heard the words and came to the gate of the county government to look.

The originally noisy county government gate suddenly quieted down.

Sure enough, there was a lot of people here, and if you take a look at it casually, you will know that the number of people will not be less than two thousand.

Yun Chu saw that everyone was looking at him eagerly, so he coughed and said, "Liaodong is a bitter cold land, and the conquest of Goguryeo is not something that can be successful in a short time.

At home, this year's cotton planting has expanded more than tenfold, and so many domestic animals have been raised, and they have all gone to war, what should I do with the work at home? Just rely on your parents, wife and children? ”

Yun Chu was obviously very inappropriate to say such things at this time, and he still felt that he should make these people clear.

An old soldier with white hair stepped forward and saluted: "The county lord is taking pity on us soldiers, but the villains naturally know that the past two years have been good, and the family has some surplus food."

The county takes us people seriously, and when food and clothing are scarce, there is affordable grain to buy, and relief is sent from time to time, and the small people are content.

Now, the border pass is unstable, and the old man wants to use the knife while he can still pick it up, and put the matter at the border pass to an end, so as not to have to fight for future generations.

A good life should be enjoyed peacefully, don't make our side live a good life, and the war is not good on the border side. ”

Yun Chu looked at this obviously meaty old man and sighed secretly in his heart, this is a fucking old soldier oil.

He didn't say a word about wanting to follow the army to Goguryeo to participate in the robbery, and he chose what Shangguan liked.

However, it is better that the army should be brutal and motivated, so that it will be brave when fighting.

The veteran soldier Youzi spoke, and the surrounding soldiers also agreed, and they looked a little impatient.

Yun Chu ordered Hu Cao, began to order, ordered the army, and distributed it to everyone on the roster.

The 3,100 people of Wannian County went out to fight, and the entire county government was immediately busy, although it was said that the government soldiers had gone out to fight except for grain and grass, and the rest were prepared by the government soldiers themselves.

However, Yun Chu felt that as the parent official of the family, he had to prepare another armament for them no matter what.

Through the director of the palace gate bureau, Lao Huang, Yun Chu exchanged the two hundred sets of tattered armor inherited from the ancestors of the government soldiers to seven or eight percent of the new armor through mysterious means.

Anyway, it's all old, and no one cares about it from old to tattered, plus these armors are worn on the government soldiers who are ready to fight, and the armor itself should be worn on the government soldiers, so there is no problem.

Yun Chu also destroyed in public the arrows made of bamboo that had been stored in the warehouse for many years, and some of the arrows were about to turn into bows because of poor storage.

Therefore, Yun Chu found a way to turn a large part of the bamboo arrows into oak wood, and the straight arrows made of oak wood.

He even replaced a large part of the tattered bows in the hands of the soldiers, and added five bowstrings to each bow.

He also mobilized the blacksmith gate of Wannian County to reprocess and beat the weapons of the soldiers to make them look new.

There is no way to do this thing with a crossbow, and the Ministry of War is very strict with this thing, but Yun Chu still managed to exchange things for the soldiers of the government in exchange for 500 crossbows and 50,000 crossbow arrows.

The most important thing is that Wannian County purchased five hundred war horses from the market at one time to strengthen the number of cavalry of the soldiers of Wannian County.

It's a pity that no vests were brought, so these horses couldn't fight in armor.

Yun Chu also personally went to Li Ji's mansion, hoping that this old commander could distribute some gunpowder to the soldiers of Wannian County, but he was sprayed out by a mouthful of spit.

When I walked to the door, I heard Li Ji say, if you are a general to lead the soldiers of Wannian County, gunpowder, and thunder bombs are not negotiable.

"People are forcing you to go to war." Holding a bronze mirror to check whether the boil on his face was ripe or not, the gentleness easily revealed the essence of the matter.

"If I go to the battlefield, believe it or not, where is the most dangerous, the old thief will definitely send the soldiers of the Wannian County Government over?"

"I believe this, if you go to a truly cruel battlefield, the soldiers of Wannian County will not be able to reduce casualties just because you are the commander.

With your bad relationship with those old thieves right now, I even think your old story in Qiuzi City will repeat itself. ”

"So, I can't go."

"That's right, you really can't go, but ah, I heard that the person who commands the soldiers of Wannian County may be Guo Beifeng, since his father and his brother died in Qiuzi City, this guy is bent on reviving the lintel and taking the lives of the soldiers of Wannian County to increase his military exploits, this guy can do it."

"He dares!"

"What don't you dare, when you go to Liaodong, people are generals, driving the people under your command to death, what can you do in Chang'an, what can you say?

Wait for him to come back and beat him?

Oh, that's all there is to it. ”

Listening to the gentle words, Yun Chuhu looked at him suspiciously and said, "Why do I think you are pushing me to the battlefield." ”

Gently grinning, he finally squeezed out the pus in the boil, wiped it with a handkerchief, and then looked at the pus and blood on the handkerchief, nodded with satisfaction: "Haven't you seen it yet?"

This time, Xue Rengui wanted to lead the 2,400 men of the right leading army guard to fight, and Pei Xingjian wanted to lead the 3,000 soldiers of Chang'an County to fight.

Since the two of them are going to fight, will the old thieves let you go?

I would even venture to say that the three of you are likely to be the three strikers in this game.

Otherwise, there is really no way to explain the mobilization of 3,100 government soldiers from Wannian County. ”

Yun Chu sighed and said, "I really don't like the battlefield, I already swore when I smelled the smell of corpses and defended the city in Qiuzi City. ”

Gently looked at Yun Chu and said: "Please ask for a war performance, I suspect that Your Majesty has not agreed to Pei Xingjian's request for war until now, and it is very likely that he is waiting for your request for war and music."

Your target is Jing Zhaoyin, as you said before, the one guarding the capital should be a tiger, no matter how bad it is, a fierce dog must be sent, no one dares to entrust the safety of Chang'an to a pig.

And the first battle in Liaodong is the best environment to test who is a pig, who is a fierce dog, and who is a tiger.

Don't worry, if you go to the war, I will also go up, and we will take this group of people from Wannian County together to see if we can win a marquis immediately.

In the Tang Dynasty, those who have no military merits cannot be real, which is not comparable to the virtual lord you get from planting woad. ”

Yun Chu lowered his head and was silent for a moment and said, "Let me think about it again." ”

You see first, I'll continue
