Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 750;
Chapter seven hundred and fifth; Sending troops to the prairie
Zhenguan three years, the autumn of 629 AD.

The rain is coming from the wind!
Li Shimin dispatched troops and generals. Except for the generals stationed at the frontier, all the soldiers and horses in the world moved back and forth, which made people dazzled. Not only were the sixteen soldiers and horses included in the transfer list, but even the imperial guards from the north and south government that had never been used were also transferred in large numbers. Outside the city of Chang'an, led by the killer general Qin Qiong, together with Qin Qiong's original guards, a total of 3000 people were stationed in Qinghai Fortress to guard against Tubo who had just unified the regime!
The imperial guards in the northern and southern yamen each retained 600 people, plus 1 people from the revived Xuanjia Tiger Ben, forming a new configuration of nearly [-] people to take over the Chang'an city defense.

The defense of Chang'an City was not empty because of the [-] soldiers from the North and South Yamen. And Xuanjia three thousand and six stationed in Chang'an!
They also mobilized [-] strong men from the four, five, and six houses of the Li family in Longxi to station in the east and west fortresses!
Then transfer six thousand strong men from the second house of the Li family in Longxi to garrison the imperial city. This action frightened the civil servants in the court and made everyone in the world drop their eyes!Therefore, Li Shimin was labeled as the most daring emperor!
In the Tai Chi Palace in the imperial city of Chang'an, Li Shimin came to the palace of Empress Changsun after the court meeting, and asked a series of questions;
"The imperial court will have a major event in the grassland Turks, doesn't he know? Go out to hunt gazelle at this time? Is it important to eat mutton, or is it important to live?

His second wife is only of this single bloodline, but if there is a catastrophe, the entire Li family's upper third chamber will become a headless chicken, and if the upper third chamber is in chaos, the upper and lower nine chambers of Longxi's old nest will be implicated, including the royal family's ninth chamber. At that time, the first family is in conflict, and the five surnames and seven Wangs in the world are bound to follow suit. How should I deal with it?
Is he a pig brain?Can't hunting gazelle be carried out after I have cleaned up the Turks?Do you have to add chaos at this juncture? "

Empress Changsun was also extremely embarrassed, and could only persuade her with a smiling face;

"Your Majesty, please calm down. That Poppi was preparing for it a year in advance. Your Majesty, you also know it. At that time, Your Majesty, you didn't say that you would send troops to the prairie at this time. It was all a coincidence, a coincidence."

Li Shimin, who was walking back and forth, suppressed his anger;

"What about the others? He couldn't have set off without coming to give Guanyin's maid your resignation."

"Returning to His Majesty, I came to greet you yesterday. When you went to Your Majesty's bedroom, Your Majesty was resting after drinking too much wine, so that poppy greeted you outside His Majesty's palace, and then left to go back."

Li Shimin slapped his forehead with a snap;

"It's a mistake to eat wine, it's a mistake!"

Seeing His Majesty worried about the safety of the eldest son, Empress Changsun felt warm in her heart. Finally, His Majesty still cared about this poor child...

"Hey... It's useless to talk about the matter so far, how many troops did he bring?"

"Replying to His Majesty, I brought [-] troops of Anxiwei into action..."

Before Empress Changsun could finish her sentence, a black-armored tiger in brand-new armor hurried in;
"Meet His Majesty the Emperor."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"But the rogue thing?"

"Yes, my lord went out of the city last night to return to the Zhuangzi in Lantian. This morning at the sixth quarter of the ugly hour, I sent troops at the second quarter of the Yin hour after offering sacrifices to heaven. I brought with me [-] troops from Anxiwei. They should be hundreds of miles away by now."

"What? How long has it been?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's been four and a half hours. The Anxi Guards of the Lord are all elite, with three thousand horses. The rest of the infantry are sent by horses and mules from the clan. They said they will return after being sent out of Tongguan, so they acted. Much more agile."

Empress Changsun came over with tea in person;

"Your Majesty, drink some bitter tea to calm the fire. Everyone has gone out, so you can't help but retreat. He is always making a fuss and wants to go out to play. Just let him go this time."

With a long sigh, Li Shimin took the tea and put it down after taking two mouthfuls;
"Anxiwei's armored bow and arrows were returned to the Ministry of War a long time ago. I guess the equipment from his clan has been forged?"

"This one……"

Seeing Xuanjia's expressive expression, Li Shimin was puzzled again;

"Say something!"

"According to the order! Your Majesty, the Anxiwei troops of the Duke are all wearing their usual clothes, and they only bring Tie Shuo with them. The armor, bows and arrows are not seen!"

"Huh? What's going on? I clearly understand that the armor he made is even more powerful than that of the Ministry of War. Xia Shangshu ordered a few more sets and came back to learn by gesturing. He invited me to check it out. It's really the best armor. With his newly modified machine crossbow, two of the three can operate it, powerful and domineering, and the military department is also building it overnight, so he has a conscience and sent all the capable people in the Gongshu class to the military department to help.
Let's not talk about it, what's going on?He made exquisite armor and bows and arrows but didn't show them off?It's not in his nature, is it? "

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Lord arranged for the Zou surname in the family to dispatch 3000 troops, and the Ma family, who was in charge of food, took the lead with [-] people to take the lead in hunting the food and grass for the gazelle. They pulled the armored bow and arrow three days in advance. I left Tongguan with some grain and grass, because I got the customs clearance certificate from the Ministry of War, so I walked all the way through the new official road built by Li's second house."

"Hmph! I shouldn't have agreed to him. I didn't expect that the newly built official road, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have not walked a few times, so I will take advantage of him first!"

Empress Changsun didn't think too much, she only cared about whether more than 1 people could protect her eldest son;
"Your Majesty, there are only 3000 people in Anxiwei. My son's safety is a big issue, and he is going to the Turkic rear of the prairie. Can this few people protect him? I don't know too much, please Your Majesty, come and teach me!"

"Safety? You don't have to worry about it, Avalokitesvara, do you know his equipment of more than 1 people? The invulnerable armor is three points more powerful than those of the imperial court, and the bow and arrow are nothing to say!

Very safe!Tell the queen, which characters does he use to lead the troops?Lest the queen worry about her precious son. "

"According to the order!"

"His Royal Highness, the Duke sent troops this time, bringing with him nine elders from the family of the second family Lin, and 23 chief stewards under the elders. The elder brother of the head of the family, the second-numbered elder of the Lin family, is also in the team."

"cough……"

Although Li Shimin could guess that Li Yu was definitely bringing many talented people with him, he never imagined that the lineup was so strong that the difference was so great that he choked on tea, and Empress Changsun hurriedly patted Li Shimin's back to smoothen her breath;

"Your Majesty, drink your tea slowly."

Li Shimin, who had regained his strength, looked at Empress Changsun;

"Listen, every generation of the Lin family has nine elders, all of whom are materials of great generals, and now the nine elders have come out together... and their next generation's direct sons are also extremely brave, and they will be released at once More than 20, it can be seen that the head of the Lin family is also worried about the safety of the head of the family.

With these capable people leading the troops, even when encountering those big tribes on the grassland, they can advance and retreat freely. Is he going to catch sheep?These elite soldiers and generals, coupled with powerful equipment, can destroy small and medium-sized tribes on the grasslands. "

Empress Changsun was overjoyed when she heard this;
"That's good, that's good, His Majesty is relieved, and I can sleep well even in my body."

"Hmph! He's smart. It's clear that he's going to make some military achievements. Can't I see it?"

"That is, Your Majesty is wise and mighty. If you can't see it, why would you ask the Ministry of War to let go of the customs clearance document? His majesty has already figured out his little thoughtfulness. By the way, Your Majesty, if it is a critical moment, will you be notified?" Commander-in-Chief, take care of him?"

"Well, the general manager of the march has not been decided for the time being. I am busy with the taxes after the autumn harvest. Let's talk about it after this paragraph. No matter who is the general manager, I will include An Xiwei in the book of troop mobilization. Here, let’s count it as a surprise operation.”

"Your Majesty, what do you think he wants to do?"

"I can't guess the details of his spooky head, but one thing is for sure, he will definitely rob some grassland tribes' cattle and sheep, doesn't he keep saying that he wants to sell beef and mutton to the people all over the world? How can you just be satisfied with catching some wild yellow sheep? To put it bluntly! He just went to the prairie to rob, so who can't see it?"

Not to mention the various reactions in the imperial city here, nor to mention that the back and forth of the sixteen guards and horses dazzled the spies on the grassland, but only said that after Li Yu presided over the worship of heaven and earth, he brought 3000 people with him, along with the guards of the Lin family of the imperial army. The Nine Elders and more than 20 senior stewards who led the troops set off before dawn, stopped for more than 20 miles, and rested for fifty miles, and arrived at Tongguan on time at [-]:[-] the next day.

Facing the sudden arrival of more than 1 strong men, the generals guarding Tongguan were frightened into a cold sweat.

"Report to the general. More than 1 soldiers and horses were found [-] miles away, all dressed as ordinary people, and they are resting. If there are fast horses, the vanguard can reach the gate of the south city in half an hour. General, please decide!"

"What? There are more than 1 horses who have arrived twenty miles away without knowing it? Where the hell did they come from? Hurry up, archers get ready, thunder stone and rolling wood get ready, go, blow the horn, Beat the drum and gather the generals."

"only!"

As the horn sounded, the big drums on all sides were hammered at the same time, and the dull drum sound urged the Tongguan soldiers to act. However, with the effort of three sticks of incense, there were many swords and guns on the south gate of Tongguan, and all the two thousand archers were in place. The latest equipment pulled a month ago.

The city was guarded by Yu Chiliang, Yu Chigong's lieutenant during the Xuanwu Gate Mutiny, and hurried up to the south gate tower with a dozen of his men.

"Please see, General?"

"Understood, how are you preparing?"

"Report to the general, two thousand archers are in place."

"Report to the general, the [-]-step army is assembled neatly."

"Report to the general, Rolling Stone Leimu is in place."

"Report that the five hundred machine crossbows have all gone up to the gate tower."

Yu Chiliang, who was stroking his beard, frowned;

"Rebellious ministers and thieves? I haven't heard that there have been changes recently. How can this person be born?"

"Look, general, is there a seven-member team coming?"

"Sevens? Why does it sound familiar?"

Before the generals defending the city figured it out, the seven-member team outside the city had already rushed over.

"General! Do you want to shoot?"

"Wait! Let's see where we come from!"

"It's the general."

"General, the team of seven to explore horses is the standard configuration of aristocratic families, but after hundreds of years of precipitation, most of the five surnames and seven wang sects have become three people, and some families even send only one person, and they are so neat. There are not many left!"

"Yes, General, let's talk about it..."

"Report!"

During the discussion between the generals, the seven-man team had already boasted about the circle of death of the archers, and instead of being afraid, the people who came came directly to the city gate.

"Report to the general, the vanguard of Anxiwei came to report, with the customs clearance certificate from the Ministry of War."

"Hi! Who am I? It turns out that the general is your nephew."

"It really shocked me. I guessed that it must be this rascal. Who else but him? Dare to make this happen?"

Following the teasing of several generals, the soldiers on the city gate relaxed their bodies, Yu Chiliang didn't carelessly but waved his hand;
"Come on, go down and verify the authenticity of the customs clearance documents, Captain Chen, you also go down and check carefully, don't let people fish in troubled waters."

A general in his 40s clasped his fists in response;

"The order of the last general."

Yu Chiliang looked at the billowing smoke and dust approaching in the distance, without saying a word, he only calculated in his mind the timing of the advance of the opponent's army, whether he could arrive after verifying the customs clearance certificate, and fortunately, the speed of the people who went down was fast enough, and the verification was completed to close the South City When they opened the gate, the opponent's brigade approached two miles outside the city gate.

"Report to the general. It is a document from the Ministry of War. If it is fake, it will be replaced. There is also a warrant specially signed by Du Pushe. Please check it with the general."

"Bring it."

Yu Chiliang carefully checked every word on the document, and then he let out a sigh of relief. He read it three times to confirm whether it was true or not. He was about to order the troops to withdraw when he heard shouts from below;
"Uncle! The child is coming, hahahaha, quickly open the city gate, and enjoy ten catties of beef with uncle, or five catties if you are slow! Hahahaha!"

As soon as Yu Chiliang heard the voice, he immediately knew who was coming. If he looked down, he couldn't see the most rogue in the world?

Yu Chiliang turned his head and shouted at the messenger;
"withdraw troops!"

"Yes, the general orders, all troops are withdrawn!"

"Wei! Under the general's order, withdraw troops!"

"Woooooooo..."

With the sound of the horn and the sound of the gong, the extremely nervous soldiers relaxed their bodies and returned to the camp under the leadership of the chief.

Yu Chiliang stretched out his head to look down, and shouted loudly;

"My sons, open the gates of the city quickly, I am! You rascal, ten catties is ten catties, why did you become five catties again in a short time? If you dare to take less than one catty of spiced beef, the old man will whip your ass ten times!" Whip, whoever comes to intercede will not do! Quickly bring it in for me to enjoy, as well as the high-grade Wuliangye..."

"General, please keep your voice down, there are so many people listening."

"That's right, General, you don't dare to make public about drinking."

"Uh, the old man forgot all of this, whoever picks up that rogue into the city quickly, he goes to the old man's lobby, eh, that's wrong, go talk in our back hall, hurry up, you haven't eaten enough, have you? The old man is so hungry, you are still slow like a bitch."

Yu Chiliang kicked a young general's ass while speaking, and the latter ran downstairs quickly.
