What interrupted the attitude of the monarch and the minister was the leisurely words of the light curtain.

[From the Tang Dynasty to the present, the deeds of Xue Rengui's three arrows to set the Tianshan Mountain have been sung.

This is undoubtedly a big win, but if you look at the whole game, this big win will be a question mark.

After the three arrows under the Tianshan Mountain broke the enemy, even if it was a big victory, the situation of being outnumbered still could not be changed.

The pursuit was inevitable, but it was impossible to carry prisoners.

And if he stayed in the rear, Xue Rengui was worried that the prisoner riot would cut off the back road of the Tang army.

In the end, Xue Rengui ordered the prisoners to be killed and continued to pursue the enemy.

And in this process, the victorious Tang army also began to have unclean hands and feet, secretly concealed the results of the war, and privately robbed Tiele women.

But because part of the proceeds of these privateers were handed over to Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui also let it go.

Because of this, in the end, Xue Rengui's class was impeached by the imperial history.

Li Zhi made a judgment of merit and demerit, and neither punished nor praised Xue Rengui. 】

The focus of the Ganlu Hall suddenly changed, and Hou Junji once again became the target of everyone's eyes.

But after all, they were old friends, so they just glanced at everyone and looked away, whispering to each other to exchange views on killing and descending.

Hou Junji smiled bitterly, feeling that the time in this manna hall was becoming more and more difficult.

Otherwise, after this incident, it is better to apply for an external transfer with His Majesty, Liaodong in the Western Regions, and Yizhou in Jiaozhou.

This Chang'an Ganlu Hall really doesn't want to stay longer for a quarter of an hour.

And for the ministers of the Hall of Ganlu, their worries could not be simpler.

The killing of prisoners is unknown, and the place near this Tianshan Mountain is a place of bondage, how can he not be centrifuged by such a ruthless hand?

Li Jing stroked his beard, frowned slightly, and did not speak.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed and said:

"If this Xue Li is found, the pharmacist will have to worry a lot."

The Three Arrows Dingtian Mountain is indeed majestic and domineering, but the three arrows made the grassland warriors surrender to the 100,000 army and collapse at the touch of a button, which can only show that the so-called 100,000 army is not single-minded, and is afraid of the Tang Dynasty.

In this case, why kill and surrender?

It's still far away, but when the Xiaolu Khan was fought in front, the 30,000 Tang army recruited 50,000 Hui cavalry, and combined with 80,000 troops to attack the Western Turks.

With 30,000 to recruit 50,000 to fight the other side, why didn't the Tang generals at that time worry about the Hui cavalry counterattacking and joining forces with the Western Turks to encircle and suppress the Tang army?

Wang Xuance recruited nearly 10,000 feudal soldiers with just a few people, why didn't he worry about these feudal soldiers backhanding him a knife?

Killing and surrendering with spicy hands, plundering by arson, and simply using up all the centrifugal means.

It is worthy of the shameful battle of the Tang Army.

Li Shimin sighed heavily, feeling more and more that the generals of the Tang Dynasty still had to be taught well.

But soon, the light curtain made Li Shimin understand that he was still too optimistic.

[In any case, Xue Rengui's Three Arrows Dingtian Mountain is indeed a great achievement.

The deputy general is so prominent, Zheng Rentai, the main general, is a little unable to sit still.

After breaking the enemy at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, Zheng Rentai and Xue Rengui's soldiers divided into two routes, each going to expand the results of the battle.

Xue Rengui's famous Tianshan Mountain is now called Hangai Mountain, located in the territory of Mongolia today, not far from Chang'an, only more than 4,000 Tang li.

Zheng Rentai was the main general, so there were more men and horses, and he began to search for the remnants of the enemy army from the Tianshan Mountains to the northeast.

At this time, the news of the victory of the Tang army in the Tianshan Mountains had spread, and the Tiele tribe in the northeast chose to surrender as soon as they saw Zheng Rentai's army.

But maybe it was Xue Rengui who was in front of the privateer, or maybe it was difficult to convince the people because of the futility of this battle, but in short, Zheng Rentai rejected the surrender of these Tiele tribes, and began to plunder these tribes, so the Tiele people began to scatter and flee.

At this time, Zheng Rentai received the news that he was overjoyed, and there were several more affluent Tiele tribes in the north where these Tiele people had fled, with endless cattle, sheep and women.

Without much thought, Zheng Rentai divided his troops again, ordered the horse infantry to camp on the spot, and led 14,000 elite cavalry to the north, chasing in the direction of the escape of the Tiele people.

In order to chase faster, Zheng Rentai also ordered the cavalry to take off their armor and bring only a small amount of supplies per person.

Anyway, these Tiele people are about to collapse in the face of the Tang army, as long as they reach the rich Tiele tribe, don't they want anything?

But it was a futile sortie.

Under the leadership of Zheng Rentai, this elite cavalry pursued more than 1,300 miles north, all the way to the vicinity of Lake Baikal, but still found nothing.

When the food he brought was not enough, Zheng Rentai had no choice but to order a return.

But as we said earlier, the Tianshan Mountains are more than 4,000 miles away from Chang'an, and it is a long time from the expedition to the enemy.

This elite Tang army can be called a god of death on the battlefield, the enemy's greatest nightmare, but these are of no use in the face of nature.

The blizzard on the return journey became the greatest nightmare for the elite army, and the little food and grass left was quickly depleted in the bitter cold.

The first to be abandoned were completely useless weapons, and then, in the face of an extreme lack of food, the Don army had to start killing horses.

And what about the horses that have eaten up? "Cannibalism by Hunger"

Zheng Rentai left with 14,000 elite cavalry, and finally succeeded in returning to the barracks with only 700 horsemen.

A greedy decision, and an unexpected blizzard, buried thirteen,300 of the most elite hussars of the era.

When the imperial history impeached Zheng Rentai, he said that this was the biggest and most humiliating defeat since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhinian was Erfeng's former minister in Zheng Rentai, so he finally did the same treatment as Xue Rengui, and he was not rewarded or responsible.

A year after this battle, Zheng Rentai died of illness in the official residence of Liangzhou and was buried in Zhaoling. 】

Li Shimin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He really wanted to ask Du Ruhui, can the duke of Guizheng County, which was just given to Zheng Rentai this year, come back?

Zheng In-tae is undoubtedly his confidant, so he also had the idea of entrusting him with a heavy responsibility.

But precisely because he is a confidant, Zheng Rentai has a few pounds and taels, and he knows very well.

Therefore, Li Shimin was not surprised that Zheng Rentai's name did not appear in the expansion of the Tang Dynasty.

And when I heard that Zheng Rentai was the main general to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, I was quite relieved, not because Zheng Rentai seemed to have some ability, but because I was relieved that Huang Zizhi was still nostalgic.

This time the rebellion is not in unison, no matter how you look at it, it belongs to the kind that can be leveled by pulling people, and it belongs to the credit given away for nothing.

As a result, although Xue Rengui ended ugly, he finally fell into a good name.

Can Zheng Rentai play like this?

Li Shimin is even a little happy in his heart:

Fortunately, Xuanwumen did not entrust it with important tasks, otherwise it may not be ......

Shaking off this wisp of thought, Li Shimin calculated indignantly:

"Look at the light curtain record, from the beginning of the destruction of the Eastern Turks to the capture of Xiaolu Khan, even the destruction of several countries, the opening of thousands of miles of territory, and the number of dead soldiers in the Western Regions is less than this!"

The Tang Emperor was already choosing a destination for Zheng Rentai in advance.

Is it the Xuanwu Gate? Or Suzaku Gate?

But a lingering worry rose in my heart:

Such a simple counterinsurgency can be fought so ugly, it doesn't look like a good sign no matter how you look at it.

On the other side, the eldest grandson Wuji quietly moved over and said to Hou Junji who was in a daze:

"Zheng Guang is not here, is Lu Guogong quite regretful?"

Zheng Rentai's real name is Zheng Guang, and Hou Junji and the eldest grandson Wuji were one of the planners during the Xuanwu Gate, so they are quite familiar with the names of the participants.

"Hmm...... Yes? Of course not! ”

Although Hou Junji did have such regrets, of course he would not admit it, and immediately denied it.

The eldest grandson Wuji's round face was full of disbelief, smiled lightly, and quietly distanced himself from Hou Junji again.

The blizzard-induced fiasco had made the originally cheerful atmosphere of the Avatar Hall a little stagnant.

Li Jing was the first to speak:

"Maybe ......"

The old general pondered:

"When Your Majesty opens the imperial examination, you may be able to try to open a martial arts examination."

This idea has been swirling in Li Jing's heart for a long time, and this time he first tried to put it forward:

"In this rebellion, even if the leader of the army is just a mediocre general, he can win it, and he will never suffer such a big defeat."

In this regard, Li Shimin nodded slowly in agreement.

There are too many mistakes made by Zheng Wentai in his rash attack:

Attacking rashly, not distinguishing between true and false news, not understanding hydrology and geography, not spreading scouts, and so on.

Not to mention the general manager of the march, whether this quality can be a question mark for the generals.

Seeing Li Shimin nodding, Li Jing continued:

"If you talk about attacking a strong enemy, expanding your territory, and destroying your country, the leader must be a famous general such as Mao Gong and Dingfang."

"Two hundred horsemen to destroy Xue Yantuo, and five hundred horsemen to enter the battle to break the enemy, all of which are His Majesty's guard Huo Ye."

Li Shiyun and Su Lie hurriedly straightened their chests and looked solemn.

But at the same time, my heart blossomed with joy, and General Li Jing praised me personally!

"And then...... Guanyi Di made chaos, and there was no heart to win Tang before the chaos, but relying on the distance of thousands of miles from Chang'an, I bet that Tang had no time to take care of him. ”

"In this kind of defeated rebellion, as long as the generals follow the essentials of the military book, they will win, and it will be difficult to damage."

Li Jing summed up his views and said:

"Therefore, it may be possible to use military force to make those who know the soldiers generals, so that there will be no such damage."

Li Jing's words won Li Shimin's approval, and he immediately nodded:

"Good!"

We still need to think about how to take the test and what content to test, but the important thing is that it is really feasible.

The most typical is Xue Rengui, a wild man, who is indeed a fierce general, which makes Li Shimin love him.

But it was killing and surrendering and taking the lead in the plunder, and Li Shimin's eyelids jumped when he saw these operations.

The basic quality of the Tang Dynasty generals is urgent!

……

In the Chengdu Mansion, Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed:

"This Datang belongs to God can't look past it."

Liu Bei disagreed:

"What's the matter? This is a man-made disaster! ”

Saying that, Liu Bei also looked up at the ceiling of this mansion, and made amends for the third brother in his heart, don't take back the light curtain in anger.

"This is indeed a man-made disaster!"

Kong Ming sighed and judged:

"When the Tang Dynasty was opened, there were strong enemies on all sides, the Son of Heaven had courage, the generals had military strategies, and the soldiers dared to serve their lives."

"At this time, it is already 'invincible foreign patients when they go out', handsome and ignorant of soldiers, and they will be greedy for merit."

"This Tang Dynasty was defeated in Tubo, not far away."
