Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 1078;

Chapter 33;

In today's Li Tang court, although there are still those fierce generals like clouds, the warriors are like rain!

but……

Except for Li Jing, who was dying, the remaining capable people who could take on great responsibilities were the deputy commander Xue Wanche, who was still in charge of the overall situation at the border, and Cheng Yaojin, who was guarding Chang'an City.

The last one is Li Shiji, who sits in the rear and dispatches grain and grass.

Other than these three people, the rest are generals who charge into the battle, and there is no other talent for commanding.

The two also knew clearly in their hearts that if they didn't leave, the homes of countless Han people would be in danger.

even……

Even if you go to the border, you may not be able to turn the tide...

Why is it said that Cheng Yaojin can be the commander-in-chief of the three armies?
In historical novels, Cheng Yaojin, with only those three axes back and forth, is at the end of his rope.

The real Cheng Yaojin is not like this. The real Cheng Yaojin has a very prominent family background. His ancestors have been officials for generations, and they are all powerful guards.

So the real Cheng Yaojin didn't have ink in his stomach, but deliberately pretended to be seen by others.

The real Cheng Yaojin is full of knowledge, whether it is governing the country, fighting in battle, or commanding the armed forces, Cheng Yaojin can be prudent and cautious.

Even Li Shimin's trump card, Qin Qiong, would consult with Cheng Yaojin when encountering problems, which shows that Cheng Yaojin's ability is not blown out.

Otherwise, Li Shimin would not have chosen Cheng Yaojin to sit in Chang'an. This would entrust the entire backyard to Cheng Yaojin.

Although both of them are going all out, even if they are ruined, they still have to stand up, serve the king, and bleed for the common people in the world.

But Li Shimin did not agree, but waved his hand instead;

"Not in a hurry."

"Not in a hurry?"

The two commanders asked in unison.

Li Shimin nodded;
"Don't worry, Dehai."

"The servant is here, the sage please command."

"Tell everyone to back off."

"According to the order."

"Stand back, go thirty steps outside the study."

"only!"

"Come on."

"People are here, please give orders to the chief."

"Thirty steps outside the study is the line between life and death. Those who step within one step will be killed without mercy, regardless of their status or who they are."

"only."

Seeing everyone going out, Li Shimin pointed to the bookshelf in his left hand. After Qian Dehai nodded, he took out a small box from the fifth floor, opened it, and took out a letter.

"His Majesty."

"Tell them to see."

"According to the order."

After Cheng Yaojin took the letter, he quickly opened it, and the two of them checked it together.

Although both of them were expressionless, they were both taking deep breaths to suppress their beating hearts.

"Brother, after reading it, you still keep it."

"Ah."

Li Shimin barely sat up, Qian Dehai quickly put the cushion on the emperor's back.

"Let's not talk about your commander-in-chief first, let me tell you what rank you are, and which guard you serve as a soldier?"

"Ah? Yes, speaking back to His Majesty the Emperor, he will be a captain from the sixth rank, serving as a soldier in the third battalion of Zuo Wuwei, and in charge of a thousand-man team."

"That's great. Aiqing's age is at most 35 or [-]. It's pretty impressive to be able to reach this point."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise. Show some brute strength. It's nothing more than a few meritorious deeds by chance. There is no great ability. It was all promoted by my general and the commander."

Li Shimin forced a smile;
"Very good, the soldiers trained by Yu'er are really extraordinary. By the way, who sent you back?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief had already thought about the advance and retreat before going out, but if something went wrong, he asked me to go back to Chang'an overnight to report to His Majesty about the military situation."

"Oh? So, you don't know too much about your boss?"

"Your Majesty, when the general heard that the general had fallen into a trap and was trapped by thieves, he set off directly. On the third day, the brother who chased after him told me that the general was hit by a light crossbow, and his life and death I don't know."

"Yes, I see. The brother who told you about the military situation, what else did he say?"

"For example, did you say where your commander-in-chief is now? How is his injury? How many people are there to protect him?"

"Returning to your Majesty, I have said that my family's commander-in-chief is accompanied by three hundred dead soldiers in the family, five thousand dead soldiers in Lingnan, and Taoist priests in the Taoist family. There are males and females. I don't know the exact number. I heard that there are more than 300. "

"Is there anything else?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are also two thousand-man squadrons from Zuo Wuwei, and three thousand soldiers from the north and the south. I'm afraid they should be one guard."

"Well, I see, what did your commander-in-chief explain before?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, what I told you before is that if the commander-in-chief is ambushed or surrounded by the enemy, he will tell me to go back to Chang'an overnight and report to His Majesty. Zuo Pushe will mobilize food and grass for support, and he must not move around. General Cheng will continue to stay in Chang'an." Can't move, the commander-in-chief explained everything about the border to the deputy commander-in-chief Xue, and said, please rest assured, but your majesty, the last general is worried, even though my commander-in-chief has 1 horses guarding him, the wolf cubs on the grassland , There are so many people, standing on the city wall and looking out, they are all continuous military camps, ten thousand troops are really not enough for others to see."

"Then when you were at the court meeting, why did you say you wanted the court to rescue your soldiers? Was it the action that your marshal told you before?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, those words were ordered by my commander-in-chief, and you are not allowed to come back and talk nonsense."

"Understood, you go down and rest first."

"By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing I forgot to make clear, and it was also explained by my marshal."

"Say."

"Wei, my commander-in-chief has explained, but there are Goguryeo people taking the opportunity to cause chaos, and they can dispatch the Lingnan Army to suppress it. There is General Cheng's deputy commander, Su Shisanlang leading the army, and peace is the most important thing."

When Li Shimin and the two commanders heard this, their eyes lit up. Li Yu's suggestion can be said to hit the nail on the head. The general they arranged was also unknown. In fact, he was indeed the most suitable candidate. The only capable person who can be entrusted with great responsibilities.

"Understood, you go back and rest."

"Wei, I will retire at the end."

"allow."

Seeing the visitor heaving a sigh of relief and leaving the study, Li Shimin looked at the two capable ministers under him;

"The final arrangement, do the two lovers think it's okay?"

"Going back to His Majesty is feasible and the best arrangement."

"Brother, it's totally possible. Goguryeo will definitely take the opportunity to cause chaos. Don't even think about it, so you should immediately use [-] miles to mobilize the Lingnan Army to go north. At the same time, arrange for Su Shisan to lead part of the Xuanjia Army to go directly to the northeast. Take precautions before they happen.”

"Certainly, this is exactly what I thought in my heart. Over the years, Goguryeo has been so arrogant and domineering that they have forgotten who they are. They will definitely rebel and harm the frontier fortress in the northeast."

"Zuo Pushe has to be arranged tomorrow, the sooner the better, I estimate that once the news of his disappearance and entrapment spreads, Goguryeo will definitely take advantage of the chaos to raise troops."

"Minister Zunzhi, we will make arrangements today, please rest assured to eat and drink, Your Majesty."

"It's just one thing. What the general just said is true. Although my nephew is following tens of thousands of people, the grasslands outside the pass are full of wolf cubs. Your Majesty...or else, Zhijie stays in Chang'an and sits in town, and I will go over there." north?"

"No need."

Li Shimin ruthlessly rejected this very tempting proposal.

"You have also seen his plan. Everything is done on purpose. Although the strategy of exhausting the enemy is a bit too much, I feel that only this way can solve all the problems at the border faster."

Cheng Yaojin nodded at the side to meet the sentence;
"In addition, it can save a few sons from dying."

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Shimin nodded fiercely;

"Yes, if it ends as soon as possible, fewer people will die. Whether they are Han Chinese or heterogeneous, they can minimize deaths."

"So don't pay attention to him. Although the situation is so bad that it can't get any worse, I believe that all of this is in his calculations."

Seeing the emperor's determination, Cheng Yaojin stopped talking too much, and changed to face the reality;

"If this is the case, we will continue to quarrel with those civil servants tomorrow. After arguing for two days, we will start pretending to arrange a replacement commander. In short, it can be delayed for a few days."

"That's right, what Zhijie said is exactly what I want, so it's arranged like this."

"According to the order."

So what happened to Li Yu?

Did you fall for it?
Is everything under his control?

The answer is half right and half wrong.

Most of the decisions were made by Li Yu and the two deputy commanders. The first three steps were all within the enemy's expectation, and it was also Li Yu's strategy.

Being surrounded and even being injured were within Li Yu's expectations, but the only thing was beyond Li Yu's guess range.

That is, someone in the general camp of his rival faction finally took action.

One shot is the ace.

When Li Yu was under siege, as soon as he broke out of the siege, he was attacked by the eight surnames Tie Le and fell into a new siege again.

These were all things that Li Yu had calculated in advance. Next, the army of the Han people should come up to rescue him, and then he was defeated by the prairie people again. Then he escaped by taking advantage of his failure. It is best to find a way to escape with some injuries.

Then go to find Ashinasheer, and the Uyghur tribe, repeat the old tricks, join forces with the three parties, break the grassland coalition, and spend a lot of money to buy the leaders of the coalition who can talk.

Then one force after another disintegrated, and finally the leaders who were bought with a lot of money made suggestions and sat down with the Han people to negotiate a peace.

These are Li Yu's overall strategies. Of course, if one wants to sit down and negotiate peacefully, one of the necessary conditions is to show the strength of the Han people, fight a beautiful battle, and hurt the grassland people.

If it doesn't hurt to fight, neither Tie Le nor Tubo will survive peace talks, so Li Yu must fight a good fight.

However, after things got here, there was an uncontrollable change.

After breaking through the blockade of the iron army, Li Yu followed the route planned in advance.

But just after walking for a day, there was a surprise attack at night. Fortunately, Li Yu's soldiers strictly followed the military order, and no one who neglected their duties appeared, and the enemy was spotted dozens of miles away.

"Report."

"stop."

The soldiers who sent the letter were stopped by the lieutenant of the Thousand-Man Squad in the Zuowuwei Barracks who was on duty in front of Li Yu's account.

"When did you panic?"

"Report to the general to learn that a large number of thieves were found 35 miles away, and I suspect they are wolf cubs from Tie Le's side."

"what?"

"You come with me."

"It's the general."

Li Yu's Chinese army tent was not big, because it was a quick march and only brought more than 1 people, so Li Yu kept everything simple.

But there are quite a few guards inside and outside the big account. Although Li Yu fell asleep, he was very vigilant, and because the Taoist Three Guardians came up with a health regimen to help him, so now Li Yu's body can be regarded as good. is a healthy body.

Don't underestimate the two words of health. People fall to the ground, and God bestows their longevity. Forty-three thousand and eight hundred days, they are all 120 years old, two Jiazi.

If you don’t pay attention to it, if you don’t care about it, all kinds of life reduction, such as drinking wine to death, moving at night while day is quiet, bloodshed in war, reversal of heaven and earth, sun and moon going backwards, etc., will lead to physical illness and reduce Yangshou.

And a healthy person will not get sick without a reason, and because of enough yang energy, all diseases will not occur, and all evils will not invade.

For example, the thousands of troops from Zuo Wuwei that Li Yu brought with him were the brothers he trained as special forces back then, and they were all fed with traditional Chinese medicine for a year to recuperate their bodies.

The combat power is quite strong, everyone is full of energy, lively, just set up a small tent to sleep for a while, and wake up full of combat power.

This may seem insignificant, but it is very powerful. An army that does not get sick when going out to fight can almost be regarded as a heavenly soldier.

The word "healthy" is not a nonsense. In fact, 90.00% of people at [-]% are not healthy people.

Especially those generals who rely on stone locks to exercise their flesh and fight very well, they have nothing to do with health.

These people are strong on the surface, but in fact their internal organs have been damaged long ago, and their lives are very short.

Li Yu's health is from the inside to the outside, and his internal organs are extremely strong. The reflection is that his skin is delicate and smooth, and he looks like a teenager in his 30s.

Although he was sleeping soundly at night, Li Yu's six senses and six senses were almost half awake, and Li Yu could feel any movement.

So when the general on duty went into the big tent with the messenger soldiers, Li Yu had already come out from the back tent and was sitting on the White Tiger Hall.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, come back and report, the thief was found more than 30 miles away, and he is coming here."

"Got it, tell me what you saw, heard, and knew."

"Wei, Commander-in-Chief, the last general and his brothers are patrolling the northwest. One brother noticed something was wrong from the wind, so we walked along for more than ten miles, and then found that there were [-] to [-] thieves, quietly Go forward, even the hooves of the horses are wrapped in coarse cloth, no one speaks, and they look well-trained."

"Coincidence? Or an unexpected encounter?"

"My lord, this disciple thinks it's not a coincidence. I'm afraid it's the result of someone leaking the news."

"Well, the statement of the Lord Without Tears coincides with the deity's. If so, it will be very interesting to go on the road in the future."

Li Yu had a smile on his face, as if everything was in his calculations, he picked up the teacup unhurriedly, took a sip and then put it down, Li Yu shouted loudly

"Pass down the order and implement the second plan."

"only!"
