Chapter 434: Generalissimo

For example, some diehards in the army, His Royal Highness King Wu has not been idle during this time, not that all people can be bought by Li Xiang, several of the lieutenant generals are iron-hearted, and now His Royal Highness King Wu has said that he has withdrawn, but these people still have not pledged allegiance to Li Xiang.

Since this is the case, Li Xiang does not have the kung fu to wait for them to change, the opportunity has been given to you, if you can't control it yourself, then it can only be said that you people are pedantic, so in a month of dark and windy days, these lieutenants died violently for various reasons.

Under the control of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a thing, Li Xiang gives the impression that he is also gentle and elegant, and it is impossible to do such a thing, but Li Xiang did this, for ordinary people, their lives are still as usual, after all, these news can't blow into their ears.

But for the dignitaries and nobles of Chang'an City, they all knew about it, and they were all shocked by Li Xiang's ruthlessness, in fact, everyone in the army knew Li Xiang's ruthlessness, when he was on the Tuyuhun grassland, Li Xiang's horse team swept by, and dozens of tribes were deserted, can he be a charitable person?

You lieutenant generals think that the expedition is imminent, can you fight against Li Xiang? Li Xiang is also doing this to set an example for others in the army, and let others in the army see that those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die.

After Li Shimin learned about this matter, he originally wanted to talk to Li Xiang, but then it was gone, although those people were the leaders in the army, and there was a loss to Datang after killing, but as the next generation of monarchs of Datang, he must be decisive in killing, and he must have a ruthless heart for outsiders, and even more so internally.

Even Li Shimin was silent, even if other people knew the news, how could they be critical of this matter? It can only mean that a few of you didn't see the situation clearly and hit the knife edge of His Royal Highness Taisun.

On the second day of the fifth month of the 19th year of Zhenguan, when Li Xiang was reborn for nearly two years, a foreign war of the Tang Dynasty began again, tens of thousands of troops were drawn in Chang'an City, and tens of thousands of troops were drawn from all over Guanzhong...

The family went all the way east, passing through Luoyang, going straight to Yanzhao, and then continued to march northeast until they reached the border between China and Goguryeo.

Su Dingfang has arrived at the border line ahead of schedule and has begun to build a large camp for the follow-up troops, which has now been completed.

Officials at all levels in the state capitals and counties along the way have also prepared all kinds of food, and will be loaded with the army when the army passes by.

After three whips, Li Shimin personally read the Goguryeo script, and the army began to move slowly, Li Xiang was the generalissimo of the expedition to the east, General Li Jing was the general of the march, Niu Jinda was the left general, and Su Dingfang was the right general, leading 200,000 troops to level Goguryeo.

General Li Jing because of poor health, so after leaving Chang'an City, immediately changed the carriage, this carriage was specially made by Li Xiang, and some shock absorbers were added to several wheels, and the two-wheeled carriage was changed to a four-wheeled carriage, so that the whole carriage became more stable, and General Li Jing had never enjoyed such a carriage.

Looking out of the window, the wagons used to transport the baggage were all four-wheeled carriages, which pulled more than one or two times as many things as two-wheeled carriages, and of course used much more mules.

These things were originally in the conquest of Tuyuhun, the army had already begun to refit, but it was not implemented by the whole army, this time it was delayed for so long, and it can be regarded as changing the equipment for the army of the whole Tang Dynasty, and all the troops will use this kind of four-wheeled carriage in the future.

"Is the general okay?"

Today I have walked thirty miles, and according to the previous rules of the imperial court, I have traveled forty miles a day, too much is not good, too little is not good.

"Your Highness, don't worry, my old bones can still hold up, but Your Highness has been on the horse all day, if you feel tired, you should come to my carriage to have a cup of tea and rest."

General Li Jing had a leisurely day, and the things that should be arranged had been arranged, and in the morning, all kinds of war horses galloped over to report to him about the march of the whole army, but now it was past noon, and the things that should be arranged were gone, so it was time to rest.

"On this first day of marching, I'm still looking forward to patrolling the whole camp right away, and I'll come back tomorrow to steal this lazy man."

Li Xiang said with a smile, he was the first time to be the commander of an army of 200,000, which was also a big test, so after setting off in the morning, Li Xiang took dozens of guards around him, and he didn't know how many miles he ran, and the army only advanced forty miles today, but Li Xiang felt that he had walked a hundred miles.

After listening to Li Xiang's words, General Li Jing was not reluctant, but felt that Li Xiang was like a commander of an army, when Tuyuhun fought, although Li Xiang achieved a lot of results, but the army under his command was only 10,000 people, this time it was an army of 200,000, which was completely different from that time, so Li Xiang had no problem inspecting more.

"Go and report to the Generalissimo, two miles ahead is where you stopped today, and ask the Generalissimo if there is any change?"

Niu Jinda walked at the front of the entire team, and a thousand meters in front of their team, there were one hundred and fifty cavalry to reconnoitre, although this was in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but those who should be careful had to be careful, which was also specially explained by Li Xiang.

Niu Jinda was already ready to follow His Royal Highness King Wu, which was also instructed by Li Shimin, who knew that later, it would be like singing a big opera, His Royal Highness King Wu suddenly collapsed, of course, His Royal Highness King Wu was also willing to go on the expedition, but all kinds of forces in Chang'an City were unwilling, so His Royal Highness King Wu could only be a tragedy.

For Niu Jinda, he has always been very resistant to Li Xiang, because the relationship between the prince and him was not good, and he even said bad things about him in front of Li Shimin, so he chose to wander away from the power of the East Palace, and once leaned on the Wei Palace, and then the King of Wei was not good again, and the King of Wu extended an olive branch, for Niu Jinda, as long as it has nothing to do with the East Palace, it will be able to mix well.

But fate just played a joke with him, now that Li Xiang has become a generalissimo, he can only serve under Li Xiang, originally he also wanted not to go on the expedition, but he is a little embarrassed at this age, if he can't make meritorious service this time, he will never have a chance with the general in the future.

Who doesn't want to have the title of a great general before they die?
