"In this battle, I want to drive the expedition in person!"

Li Jing decided to drive the expedition in person and let Lin Yiguo know the Tianwei of the Tang Dynasty!

"Sage, just a small country, why do you need a sage to conquer in person, let Weichen go!"

Xue Ne stood up and saluted.

How can this little thing bother the emperor to drive the expedition in person, and kill chickens with a knife!

If the emperor is not at ease, he Xue Ne is willing to do it for him, and with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is not a piece of cake to destroy the Linyi Kingdom!

"After you are the general, I promoted you to General Zuo Xiaowei, the governor of Yingzhou and the protector of Dongyi, responsible for managing the military and political affairs of the Khitan and Xi people!"

Li Jing used Xue Ne to make the door tiger, promoted him exceptionally, and entrusted him with important tasks!

The main thing is to let Xue Ne manage Yingzhou, as well as the Khitan and Xi tribes, and when there is a famine, he can provide relief in time, so as not to force Li to be loyal.

The rebellion in Yingzhou was because of the famine in the Khitan, the Khitan people could not have enough to eat, and Zhao Wenhui, the governor of Yingzhou appointed by the Empress Wu and the protector of Dongyi, was tyrannical and unreasonable, regarded the Khitan leaders as slaves, and repeatedly invaded the Khitan under his jurisdiction.

In the end, Li Quanzhong was forced to raise troops against Wu Zetian!

It was precisely because of the Yingzhou Rebellion that a large number of adverse reactions were triggered, first Wang Xiaojie and other generals were killed in battle, and the 100,000 army was wiped out.

It also led to the rise of the end of the Indigo millet and the establishment of the Bohai State, which led to the occupation of a large area in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty and the northeast of the Chaomo Peninsula by the Bohai State.

Since he was allowed to travel back in time to this era, he couldn't let such a thing happen again.

"No!"

Xue Ne, who was running for four, finally came out, and he was grateful to Li Jing!

The kindness of a saint will not be finished in a lifetime!

"Sage, Lingnan is full of mountains and forests, and there is a lot of smoke and miasma, if our army travels a long way to send troops to Lingnan, I am afraid that before we have time to fight, our army will lose a lot of soldiers and horses."

"At that time, if you want to crusade against Linyi, I'm afraid it will not be easy, Qin Shi Huang sent 600,000 troops before and after, and more than half of them were lost before they could finally take Lingnan and other places......"

Li Si rushed out of the line and saluted with crossed hands.

Li Jing understood what he meant, in order to conquer Lingnan during the Qin Dynasty, he sent troops twice before and after, the first time he conquered Baiyue and lost about 300,000 troops, and the second time he gathered 100,000 troops to stabilize the land of Baiyue.

The conscription of displaced people, sons-in-law, and merchants with the army, and each place occupied, some immigrants were left in the local area, which not only gave the Qin army a stable rear, but also replenished the Qin army's lost manpower.

At the same time, allowing these immigrants to intermarry with the local natives, and the merchants to do business in the local area, promoted the development of the local area, and also created conditions for the Qin army's food and salary supply.

In fact, this problem is not difficult to solve, Lingnan has been ruled by the Han people for thousands of years, coupled with the immigration of the Qin Dynasty, the Han people mixed with the barbarians, and the Lingnan region has been subdued by the king!

It is not easy to recruit 100,000 troops in the Lingnan region, and it is not easy to destroy the Linyi State, and then recruit displaced people and sons-in-law from the Lingnan Five Governors to enrich the newly acquired territory.

"This matter is not difficult to do, as long as 100,000 troops are recruited in Lingnan, it is not a problem to crusade against Linyi Kingdom!"

Li Jing said.

"Sage, the ministers are not familiar with Lingnan, if you recruit 100,000 troops from Lingnan, these 100,000 troops still need to practice, be familiar with the battle formation, etc., in a short time, I am afraid that they will not be able to form combat effectiveness, and the crusade against Lin Yi Country will be delayed, which will only make Lin Yi Country more arrogant!"

Li Sichong said.

It is not difficult to recruit a local army of 100,000, but the difficulty is that they have not been systematically trained, even if they are familiar with the local terrain and cannot command and dispatch, it is in vain.

If the military orders cannot be conveyed and implemented in the army, the army will be scattered and scattered, and it may be broken up by the impact of the enemy army at any time, and it will not be able to form an effective combat state, and it will not be able to exert its combat effectiveness, and it will not be good to have a large number of people!

There is another point, the land under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate of Annam is close to the Linyi Kingdom, and the two sides have many intersections, and no one dares whether Annam will have their internal response.

There are many barbarian races in Lingnan, if they can't take the Linyi Kingdom in a short time, it is inevitable that they will not take the opportunity to rebel!

Based on the above points, it is better to send troops and horses from the north to the south, which is more secure.

When a person outside the Zichen Hall heard Li Sichong's words, his eyes shone brightly, he knew that his opportunity had come, and whether he could stand out or not depends on whether he could grasp this opportunity!

has become glorious and rich, high-ranking officials are generous, and it is a big deal to lose the head!

Just when everyone was at a loss for what to do about how to solve this problem, a eunuch in his thirties rushed in!

Everyone frowned, Li Jing's face was even more ugly, when he was holding an important military meeting, the house slave actually dared to break in and disturb him, it was really the most deserving death!

"Slave Yang Siqiao knocked on the saint, the slave has a way to help the saint solve the conscription!"

Without waiting for Li Jing to open his mouth and shout to drag the eunuch who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he was beaten to death with a stick, but the eunuch spoke first.

He knew that if he didn't take the initiative to speak, there would be only a dead end waiting for him!

Today, it is from here to walk out in the bright light, or to be carried out, it depends on whether what he says can impress Emperor Li Jing.

Yang Siqiao?

Isn't this the most capable eunuch during the Tang Xuanzong period?

Yang Siqiao's original surname is Su, and he is the son of Su Li, the leader of the barbarians in Luozhou, Lingnan, and his mother Chen is the daughter of Chen Xuan, the leader of the barbarians in Leizhou.

In the fourth year of Tang Gaozong's reign (659), the aborigines of Luozhou rebelled, and the Tang Dynasty sent troops to fight and eliminate the indigenous Su clan, and Yang Siqiao was only six years old at that time.

The Tang Dynasty has a clear rule that young children will not be killed, but his parents are guilty after all, and they can't let him go like this, so he was eunuched into the Inner Service Province and adopted by the eunuch Yang in the capital, so he changed his surname to Yang.

Yang Siqiao has been serving in the province since he was raised by the internal official Yang, and he has been serving in the province for more than 30 years.

Yang Siqiao later became the confidant of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, and his status and favor surpassed Gao Lishi, and his life was also regarded as a great achievement, he was a brave and fierce, cruel and murderous person.

Among the eunuchs, he can repeatedly perform miraculous feats, and he can be regarded as a difficult general, and Tang Xuanzong also favored him very much.

Under Tang Xuanzong, Yang Siqiao successively quelled the rebellion of Mei Xuancheng, the leader of Annan, and in the twelfth year of Kaiyuan, he pacified Qin Xingzhang, the leader of the Wuxi barbarians, to make a rebellion.

In the fourteenth year of Kaiyuan, he pacified the rebellion of Liang Dahai, the thief marshal of Yongzhou, and in the sixteenth year of Kaiyuan, he pacified the rebellion of Chen Xingfan, He Youlu, Feng Lu, and other leaders of Luzhou.

These rebel leaders were tortured and killed by Yang Siqiao, and anyone who was captured by him would definitely be skinned by him, pried open their heads, and skinned off for everyone to see, which was the end of the rebellion.

Not only did they deter the barbarians, but even the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army were frightened half to death by his operation, so that everyone "looked at the wind and dared not look up".

What a ruthless man!

As a native of Lingnan, Yang Siqiao was able to recruit an army of 100,000 people, relying on his identity as an indigenous prince, and most importantly, his ruthlessness. in order to easily recruit 100,000 strong.

"Presumptuous! We are discussing with the saint the important affairs of the military aircraft, how can you allow a little servant to act recklessly, saint, please punish this person severely!"

Li Sichong was the first to stand up and accuse Yang Siqiao, so many of their generals can't solve it, let you solve it as a eunuch, how can they save face!

There are so many of them, they are not as capable as a eunuch, don't they want to lose face?

You, a eunuch, don't serve the saints and the concubines of the harem well, and you dare to come and obstruct them from discussing the important affairs of the military aircraft, you deserve death!

Li Duozuo, Shazha Zhongyi, Li Chengqing, Dugu Zhizhi and other generals even criticized Yang Siqiao!

For some reason, as soon as they saw Yang Siqiao, they wanted to kill him, and Yang Siqiao made them feel dangerous!

Li Jing didn't speak, Yang Siqiao didn't dare to continue to speak, and silently wrote down Li Sichong and others in his heart, and when he gained power in the future, he must repay today's hatred!

Li Jing stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, looked at Yang Siqiao who was kneeling in front of him and asked, "You said you have a way to solve the problem of military resources?" Tell me what is the solution? ”

"Yes!"

Yang Siqiao raised his head and said, "The slave is willing to go to Lingnan in person for the saint and recruit 100,000 capable troops for the saint!"

"Hahahaha......"

Everyone was stunned!

Then burst into laughter, the funniest joke they've ever heard in their lives!

Some of these generals have no military merits, and a few have never been on the battlefield, even if they are veterans like Li Duozuo, they don't dare to say such big things!

It's not that I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue!

You are a little eunuch, a guy who doesn't even have a rank, why do you think that you are better than these generals?

Don't you have eggs?

Other eunuchs have cut off their eggs, I'm afraid you haven't even had your brains cut off!

In the face of the ridicule of the generals, Yang Siqiao still knelt on the ground and did not react at all.

As long as the person who can decide his fate does not speak, he will remain in such a posture!

"No, no? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that someone's cow was blown into the sky, and you wouldn't pee and take a picture, what kind of virtue did you have, and you dared to open your mouth to come, you thought that 100,000 soldiers who could fight were cabbage!"

"It's really a laughing death, you are a eunuch, your tone is not small, just because you also want to recruit 100,000 soldiers, even if you can recruit 100 people, I Li Sichong kneels down and kowtows to you and shouts Aye!"

"But no, I really thought that it was so easy to recruit soldiers, just open your mouth, touch your upper lip and touch your lower lip and it's over, and dare to say that you are not ashamed to recruit 100,000 capable soldiers, I want you to see that you have to work hard to even raise 100,000!"

The generals sneered at Yang Siqiao, but Li Jing, who was the master, watched coldly, which made Yang Siqiao a little unable to get off the stage, but he didn't ask Li Jing.

Yang Siqiao thought in his heart how to persuade Li Jing to agree to the 100,000 soldiers he recruited in Lingnan.

"Shut up! What kind of system is it to make noise in the Zichen Palace!"

Li Jing scolded loudly!

"Saints forgive sins! Confession!"

Li Sichong and the others hurriedly crossed their hands and saluted and pleaded guilty to Li Jing.

Li Jingnian had a good attitude in admitting their mistakes, and only punished them for half a month.

His eyes were once again focused on Yang Siqiao.
