"Father has only one word for you!"

「？」

"Steady!"

"Steady?"

"Don't be greedy for merit, don't love power, don't be aggressive, and know the general situation! Do you know what a glorious it is to hear this from the mouth of your father?"

"Eh...... I don't dare to be a minister!"

"Haha, what's not to dare to do," he said, shaking his head with a smile,

"I summoned you here today because I was just uneasy, and since you have proper considerations and ideas, then I will not interfere with your decision. As you said, the Battle of Tongguan in the past is a lesson from the past."

Guo Rong himself said frankly, obviously Li Yu did not pretend, although he said that he would not interfere in any way, but he was uneasy and had already made his state very clear.

It's not a good thing to upset your future boss!

To be honest, Guo Rong doesn't think that he has the ability to solve the emperor's uneasiness, but he knows that what he can do now is to do what he can as well as possible.

"Actually, Your Majesty, the ministers will be able to wait, not only because of these, but also because the ministers are waiting for news!"

"News?"

"Yes, from Hebei, from Lulong, from Liaodong."

"Is there an additional channel of information?"

"Your Majesty should know the most important reconnaissance battalion under the command of the Changying Army!"

"This is nature, the elite of the elite of the Long Silk Army!"

"Your Majesty, when the Emperor Taishang decided to divert from Hedong to Pinglu and transfer to Hebei, with the reconnaissance battalion of the Changying Army as the core, nearly 2,000 of the entire forbidden army were selected, and the scouts who passed the assessment were sprinkled to the entire Hebei Province, Henan Province, and Jiangnan Province."

Under the protection of the forbidden army, the real speaker of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Yu, from leaving Chang'an, God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, and everywhere along the way, the ghosts and demons either surrendered their guns, or fled thousands of miles, and then broke their bones and scattered ashes.

In the whole world, everyone knows the steps of the Emperor Taishang, but they are puzzled about the effect that these steps can achieve, and Guo Rong is now taking the initiative to analyze it in front of him.

Li Chun knew that the scouts of the Changying Army were very elite, but he had no idea how elite they were, but even the figure, physique, energy, and morale of the recruits of the Changying Army who were on duty in the palace every day had already amazed Li Chun.

Such two thousand elites were sent out, and the effect must be extraordinary, and Li Chun, who was already a little new, was once again ignited.

"These elite scouts, oh~ Your Majesty doesn't seem to know much about the scouts of the Changying Army!"

"Well, I really don't know much about this~ Well, I don't know anything about it, after all, you and your father are handling everything in the military, and I really haven't asked."

"Your Majesty, in fact, scouts, like sappers and medical soldiers, are the auxiliaries of the Changying Army, but the auxiliaries of the Changying Army are different from the auxiliaries in the other ranks of my Tang Dynasty and the government soldiers in the place where my Datang was founded, and the ministers prefer to call them professional auxiliaries!"

"In a sense, the professional auxiliaries in the Changying Army are the existence of providing assistance for the soldiers of the Changying Army who are fighting head-on, but they are different from the simple auxiliaries like salted fish in the past, but in many cases, the role that professional auxiliaries can play is no less than the existence of combat soldiers." ….

"The auxiliaries of the Changying Army are mainly divided into several categories, the first type is the scouts."

"The Scout is the most elite presence in the Tartara Army, and the only one in the Tartara Army that barely recruits from recruits."

"Won't be recruited from recruits?"

"Yes, unless there are very special circumstances, the Changying Army Scout Battalion will submit an application to the minister, and the minister will communicate, and after the assessment, the scout will often be selected from the old pawn."

"What is the situation of special recruitment?"

"This, Your Majesty, the special recruits are some talents with special skills, such as being good at recording and drawing

Painting, good at language, good at makeup, etc., belong to some talents that are urgently needed by scouts, but are not in the army, so they generally need to be specially selected and communicated."

"Painting? Recording? Language? Makeup?"

Li Chun obviously couldn't understand what Guo Rong said, and he looked extremely confused for a while, and his eyes were full of curiosity and doubt.

"Your Majesty, these skills are difficult for ordinary people to have, but they are very important to the scouts of the Changying Army, the scouts of the Changying Army are tasked with reconnoitring and drawing maps in advance, but what they need is not ink landscapes, but drawing terrain on paper with charcoal."

"I roughly understand, you can continue."

"According to the order, these veterans themselves belong to the elite of the army, they are experienced, skilled, and experienced, and these people have reached the upper limit of the army in terms of combat, and often have many unique skills themselves."

"After joining the reconnaissance battalion in the Changying Army, they often make up for their shortcomings, and at the same time increase the deepening and learning of different aspects such as lurking, makeup, reconnaissance, mapping, strategy and tactics, and all scouts, in addition to mastering the hometown accent and Guanzhong accent, must also master at least three dialects of different regions."

"Chen believes that the scouts in my Changying Army are definitely the most elite existence in my Tang Army, and there is no one."

In front of Guo Rong, Li Chun's face was about to twitch with a smile.

In Li Chun's eyes, the Changying Army, which is on duty in the palace every day, although it is a new recruit of the Changying Army, can already crush those rich and noble soldiers who serve as honor guards.

And now, according to Guo Rong's description, the recruits of the Changying Army are really a bunch of recruits in front of these elite scouts.

"This is especially obvious when raiding Yunzhou and marching into Hebei, it is precisely because there are a large number of scouts in my scouts who can master the accents of Hebei Province, Henan Province, Yunzhou, Caozhou, Youzhou and other places, that they can smoothly enter the important towns of Hebei, Pinglu and other feudal towns."

"In the Yunzhou Raid Battle, in order to ensure that the 3,000 cavalry led by Li Yu raided Yunzhou accurately, punctually, and without error, a full 1,000 scouts covered almost the entire route of the raid."

"The second category of scouts is the auxiliary soldiers who belong to the category of equipment and construction, that is, sappers, of course, the civil engineers are also called them, although they belong to the same engineer battalion, but they are also different."

"Part of it is mastery of weapons and equipment, such as the eight-ox crossbow and catapult, part of it is proficient in construction, road building, bridge building, and some of it is proficient in some special weapons." ….

"The rest are purely support auxiliaries, such as medical teams, cooking teams, livestock teams, and logistics teams to provide different supports."

"In the real march and battle, the Changying army was in the vanguard of the forbidden army."

"Engineers are the vanguard?"

Li Chun, who had never seen the forbidden army marching represented by the Changying Army at all, was obviously stunned for a moment, which seemed to go against the military model he understood.

Of course, in this era, Li Chun is not the first and will definitely not be the last person to have doubts, even if Li Xu, who participated in most of the process of building the Changying Army and has a stronger ability to accept it, was also shocked when he saw this method for the first time.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing I need to correct you, that is, all the auxiliaries in the Changying Army just mean that their main task is to assist the soldiers, not that they themselves are not capable of fighting."

"For example, the scout itself is the elite of a hundred battles, but other abilities are added to the combat ability, and the same engineers, medics, cooks, and even grooms, veterinarians, and pilots all need to undergo military training, and they can be assisted in battle, and they can kill the enemy in battle."

Seeing that Li Chun was disapproving, Guo Rong chose to go directly to the dry goods.

"Your Majesty, in fact, among the Changying Army, the strongest ability in the chaotic battle of the infantry army is not the soldier or the scout, but the cooking soldier."

Originally, he didn't think so, but the moment he heard the cooking soldier, Li Chun remembered the one he had seen wearing several layers of heavy armor, soaked in blood, and opening the mountain with one hand in his left and right hands

The figure of the axe - Aunt Yan.

From that moment, Aunt Yan had already formed an indelible impression in Li Chun's heart, so much so that now the treatment of the cooks in the palace has been greatly improved.

Thinking of the once burly Aunt Yan, Li Chun couldn't help but tremble a little, and had to admit with a wry smile that Guo Rong was a real expert in this regard.

"Your Majesty, before the Changying Army really sets out, the scouts will investigate the road in detail and plan the route in advance, and then move forward by the engineer battalion to clear the way for the advancing Changying Army."

"The cooking soldiers provide enough nutrition for our soldiers throughout the whole process, ensure morale, and ...... medical soldiers" Speaking of this, in order to make a deeper impression on Li Chun, Guo Rong decided to add more.

"Your Majesty, the current medical team has also subdivided the medical corps, divided into two categories: military medics and field medics, of which ...... Although the pension is very rich, people still want to live after all, and their existence can provide a psychological guarantee for all clans to the greatest extent, that is, as long as there is still a breath, they may not die in battle, and they can go back alive to enjoy this glory."

"Your Majesty, the Changying Army is strong in combat, but the materials and logistical supplies required are also very demanding, and it is impossible to achieve the supply of the Changying Army that requires high-intensity supply by relying on people and horses alone, so in addition to war horses, there are also a large number of pack horses and carriages in the Changying Army......

"Under these circumstances, without entering into battle, the daily march may reach fifty or sixty li, and may be ready for battle at any time; When participating in the war, it can ensure that the morale is strong, the physical strength and energy are in a relatively high state, coupled with the ideological education of loyalty to the Tang Dynasty that the Changying Army has always adhered to, the rewards for military merits, and the high amount of pensions, it is not too difficult for the Changying Army to exert 120% combat effectiveness without mobilization." ….

"The Changying Army can do this, but it doesn't mean that anyone can do this, it is already good for an ordinary army to reach seventy or eighty percent of its combat strength, in this state, what does Your Majesty think our army has a chance of winning?"

Hearing Guo Rong say this, Li Chun had a feeling of epiphany.

When it comes to war, is it true that everyone can say a husband and a fight, and courage is also, but it is worthless to be able to say it, and it is just a so-called strong army that can reach seventy or eighty percent of the combat power in Guo Rong's mouth.

However, Guo Rong is down-to-earth, and all the work preparations are clear and proper.

It is no wonder that the 500,000 army of Tubo in the west is about to rain, and the three towns of Hebei in the east are like wolves and tigers.

There is a Changying Army that can ensure that Chang'an is worry-free, a forbidden army built with the Changying Army as a template is enough to ensure that Guanzhong is unharmed, and there is a Datang Central Army built with such standards, there is really nothing to worry about in the world.

At this moment, he finally understood why his father would use a stable evaluation of Guo Rong, and why he regarded Guo Rong as a baby.

What's more important is that both his own father knows very well what Guo Rong is doing for him, so there is no need to worry about Guo Rong's loyalty.

Don't be greedy for merit, don't love power, don't rush forward, and know the general situation!

Such a guy is not regarded as a treasure, but even the blessing of the ancestors will not continue, from this moment on, Li Chun's eyes when he looked at Guo Rong finally showed a change that Guo Rong hoped for.

"Father trusts you, then I also trust you, whether it is Tubo or Hebei, I have entrusted it to you, if anyone speaks lightly to fight, I will block it for you."

Seeing the change in Li Chun's eyes, and seeing that Li Chun's gaze at him already had a bit of Li Chan's look, Guo Rong was relieved.

"Actually, Your Majesty, the reason why the Emperor and his ministers were able to wait in Chang'an was not all to sit and wait, but to wait for accurate news!"

"Isn't it?"

"Your Majesty, this is not some other mystery, when the forbidden army marched east and north, the scouts scattered were not all planned!"

「？」

"At that time, the ministers considered that it was very unlikely that the three towns of Hebei would honestly submit to the imperial court, that is, the imperial court and the three towns of Hebei

There must be a battle in the town, so some of the relatively smooth scouts who were lurking directly in Hebei Province for a long time, constantly collecting all kinds of intelligence from Hebei for the imperial court."

"For example, in the middle of winter last year, Mr. Liu's mansion was under martial law for several days, and at that time, a small number of soldiers and horses from Chengde and Wei Bo appeared in Jixian County, according to this news, it can be concluded that the three towns of Hebei may have carried out a conspiracy in Mr. Liu's mansion during that time."

"In the middle of winter, there was a conspiracy, and then there was a problem in Liaodong in the beginning of spring, and Mr. Liu also sent a letter of help uncharacteristically, which is almost a sure conspiracy!"

"Now that you know it's the other party's conspiracy......

Li Chun shook his head with a smile, and stretched out his hand to stop Guo Rong's idea of continuing, Li Chun can still sit in the position of the emperor safely and securely, just because he knows the proportion, he can manage everything, he should manage, he can know what he should know, he should know Li Chun is very clear. ….

Therefore, Li Chun devoted his main energy to agriculture, education, science and technology, shipbuilding, and other fields that focused on reform and were more related to people's livelihood.

As for the army of the Tang Dynasty, as for the promotion of Zaifu and the appointment of ***, Li Chun is deliberately avoiding it at all, otherwise there would be no situation where he knows nothing about the forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty.

For example, when Guo Rong mentioned the special existence of the engineer battalion, he did not give a more detailed explanation, and Li Chun saw this in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

Changing to a close-minded and narrow-minded monarch, Guo Rong is the bane of the future, but Li Chun is obviously not such a guy.

Although he has the title of traverser, like most ordinary people, Guo Rong does not know the history of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, otherwise he would not know who his future boss is.

After all, Li Chun is not perfect, but a monarch who can create "Yuan and Zhongxing" when the building is in decline is obviously definitely not a waste.

Judging from Guo Rong's analysis of the Changying Army and the Forbidden Army for himself little by little today, Guo Rong is very clear about his position, and he is also very clear about what should be said, what can be said, and what cannot be said.

Therefore, Guo Rong's seemingly disrespectful behavior of selectively answering questions, selectively explaining, and selectively avoiding information is greatly appreciated.

Guo Rong didn't say it, which proves that it is not what he should know now, and not saying what he shouldn't say is a sign of tight-lipped and loyalty.

After all, the person who speaks of Datang now is not himself, but his father.

Since Guo Rong said enough, his father is unsurpassed in terms of power schemes, conspiracy, conspiracy, and checks and balances, and if there is any shortcoming, it is that there has been a lack of a person who can realize his plan before.

And through today, Li Chun also determined that Guo Rong is a guy who is good at being positive, steady, and has high execution.

One yin and one yang, one literature and one martial arts, since they have not been discovered, then Li Chun believes that there will be no problems with everything, and he will be safe and secure in Chang'an.

It's just that when he looked up at Guo Rong seriously again, Li Chun's infinite curiosity rose again.

"Guo Rong, are you really only 24 years old this year?"

"Huh?"

Looking at Guo Rong, who was momentarily stunned after changing directions, Li Chun smiled.

Although he didn't know what Li Chun was laughing at, but feeling that Li Chun was in an extremely relaxed state like Li Chan, Guo Rong felt that his choice today was correct.

The two didn't communicate more, and Guo Rong left later.

After Guo Rong left, Li Chun chose to go to Xingqing Palace honestly, after all, today's behavior is more or less reckless, and there are some things that you still need to pay attention to at this stage, otherwise your father will misunderstand, and it will not be good if you really "father and son are filial".

And after arriving at Xingqing Palace, he didn't see Guo Rong's shadow, Li Chun couldn't help but smile, Guo Rong really didn't come, a stunned young man who didn't even pay attention to avoid suspicion.

In fact, Guo Rong didn't want to come, but after returning to the Forbidden Garden, Guo Rong waited for several days-

The news from the lurking in Hebei Province has finally arrived.
