Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 793;

Chapter 740;

"Well, don't worry, there are still [-] armored men in Hexi. I have given them a secret call, but there is an emergency, so we can act expediently, so we don't need to be too nervous for the time being."

"Even if the reinforcements from Hexi are still invincible, they can persist until Chang'an to send troops, so everyone can rest assured and discuss major issues."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Shimin looked at several officials of the Ministry of War, and his tone became a little irritable;
"The Ministry of War immediately began to mobilize troops and horses today. First, those who can be mobilized in the vicinity should be quickly supported, and the crisis in the two states should be solved before talking about other things."

"It's Your Majesty."

"Okay, let's talk about the Turkic people. This time the Turkic people betrayed their promises and abandoned the Weishui alliance. We have an excuse to send troops. If you civil servants and generals have any suggestions, just say it!"

Cheng Yaojin was the first to stand up;
"What's there to say? This is the day we've been waiting for. Your Majesty doesn't need to discuss it. He directly mobilizes Sixteen Wei Erlang, beats them to the ground at once, and solves all problems for future generations."

Du Ruhui also stood up;

"Your Majesty, what General Cheng said is justified, and I agree with you."

"My minister agrees."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

"Okay, Wuji."

"The minister is here."

"The Ministry of Households will start preparing military rations from today, and all sixteen guards will be sent out. You must ensure that the sons and daughters have enough to eat."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best, but Your Majesty, those fish and meat placed in the Ministry of Industry..."

Before Li Shimin could speak, Old Man Xia from the Ministry of Industry stood up;
"Waiting for the household department to pick it up at any time, plus these batches that have come back, if each person eats one catty, it can supply Shiliuwei Erlang for five and a half months."

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this number, including Li Shimin.

"Xia Aiqing is sitting and talking, sitting and talking, she is getting old, so sit down quickly."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty for taking care of me."

"It seems that Aiqing has brought a lot of meat recently!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, all the teams that Li Dalang arranged to go out to fish came back, especially the ones that were brought back at the end. It was really a mighty force, with a cart weighing several hundred catties. I saw so many warehouses full of fish. I am so happy for His Majesty."

"Okay, okay, that's really great, uh... That Xia Aiqing, it's not that I'm overhearted, so I just asked casually, there is no shortage these days, right?"

"Seventeen jars are missing. It was done by a small official from the ninth grade who was in charge of the warehouse. A few days ago, Li Dalang's team came back and said that it was over for the time being. The minister arranged a large-scale inspection. It turned out that there was something missing in the No. [-] warehouse. There are seventeen jars of meat, and it is the biggest jar that is bold enough to hold."

Li Shimin hated these things, and when he heard about this, he immediately turned black.

Cheng Yaojin stood up immediately;

"Old uncle, how many catties did they steal?"

Xia Shangshu gritted his teeth and said;
"120 catties a jar."

"Damn it, how many thousand catties of military rations were stolen from the sons and daughters? Your Majesty, can this be let go?"

Not to mention Cheng Yaojin lost his temper, even Li Shimin was trembling with anger;

"What? A 120-jin jar? Or as much as seventeen jars?"

"That's right, I didn't pay attention to the military rations, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Although Li Shimin was very angry, he also knew that military rations had suffered such losses since ancient times, more or less, not to mention such delicious fish?

Xia Shangshu checks three times a month, and he has done a good job, so he can't complain too much.

"Aiqing, get up quickly, it's not Aiqing's fault, get up quickly, Aiqing has done well enough, it's that black-hearted official who is too greedy, courageous and too ruthless, to take away thousands of catties Fish and meat rations!"

Li Jing, who never liked talking too much, stood up;
"I report to Your Majesty, no matter how expensive fish is, there is a price, and no matter how cheap it is, it is military rations, and it was brought back thousands of miles away. This nine-rank sesame official is so greedy for profit that he stole more than a thousand catties of military rations. He should not be lightly forgiven, otherwise he will be even more presumptuous in the future." Already!"

"My dear friends are right, Xia Shangshu, when did you find out about it, and where is the culprit now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it was found out the morning before yesterday. I interrogated all day in the Ministry of Industry. After figuring out everything yesterday afternoon, I sent troops to arrest all relevant people, including the three businessmen who were in charge of trading outside, and A restaurant, a total of seven families were arrested, and all of them were sent to the prison of the Ministry of punishment."

Li Shimin turned his head without talking nonsense;
"Dehai!"

"The servant is here, the saint please command!"

"You don't need to ask, since Xia Shangshu has found out everything, then there is no need to waste any more spitting. The seven families who bought and sold the military rations will all kill the three clans, and all the family property will be transferred to the household department to be used as military rations."

"According to the order!"

After dealing with the theft of military rations, the monarchs and ministers began to discuss how to mobilize their troops, and they stayed in the palace for lunch.

After lunch, the monarchs and ministers gathered together and talked for a long time, and were about to leave when shouts came from outside.

"Report."

"Good news from the frontier, good news from Hexi!"

Li Shimin stood up immediately;

"Come in and talk."

"only!"

A red-feathered messenger ran in with a dusty face;
"Report to Your Majesty, good news from Wuwei. The third Turkic Army is located in the Hulukou Canyon on the border of Wuwei. There are more than 5000 troops. Those who were killed by Anxiwei were defeated. Less than [-] escaped."

"what?"

"God!"

"real or fake?"

"Li Dalang has this ability?"

"Nonsense! It's normal for the nine elders of the Lin family to come out and do such things."

"Bring it!"

"Yes."

Li Shimin tore up the letter with trembling hands, his face was flushed and his breathing was short of breath, after reading it three times, he passed the news of the letter to him;
"Look, dear friends, go down and rest, and reward ten thousand coins."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

"Good guy, good guy!"

"This... how did you do it?"

"This is unreasonable. Our army died in the early 100s. It is still a bait, and more than [-] people died in a frontal battle?"

"I said Shangshu, you haven't finished reading it, you see there are thousands of people with minor injuries here."

"This minor injury doesn't need to be counted, it's been alive and kicking in two months, don't count."

"How did you do it?"

"Isn't that clearly written, one thousand heavy crossbows, two thousand bow crossbows, and one iron tire bow..."

"This... no wonder... this is really... too bad?"

"It seems that what Li Dalang said is right, you can shoot people to death with bows and arrows, why go up and fight?"

"Hey, who doesn't understand this truth? If you give me ten thousand light bows and crossbows, my old cow can knock down the whole prairie and give it to His Majesty, believe it or not?"

"Yes! But do you, Niu Jinda, have money? Do you have the money to equip a guard with [-] iron tire bows? You don't have the ability, do you?"

"I really don't have this ability, even if I sell it, it won't be enough for ten sets."

Li Shimin kept walking back and forth in the study, mumbling non-stop;

"Thousands of arrows are fired, ten thousand arrows are fired together, that rascal always said that when all arrows are fired, it is the day when Qin Jun's invincible arrow array will be reborn, he did it, it is really all arrows!

The power is really extraordinary!The prairie people are all tough and brave. He shot more than 6000 of 2 people to death with no effort, which is really amazing! "

"His Majesty."

Fang Xuanling saw that the emperor was going to be moved again, and immediately stood up;

"Your Majesty, Li Dalang's thinking is correct, there is nothing wrong with it, a large number of tools can replace soldiers to fight, but this is what the ancestors often say about eating and clothing.

In the past, the strong Qin accumulated ten generations of national power, and only then did he acquire countless bows and arrows and dominate the seven countries. Wherever Qin's arrow array went, no one could beat him, but at the same time, he also squandered Qin's national power. This must be observed !Your Majesty, please learn from me. "

Du Ruhui, as Fang Xuanling's old partner and old friend, of course had to stand up and support;

"Yes, Your Majesty, the current equipment of our sixteenth guard is already very powerful. Although it is not as full of nose and eyes as An Xiwei's equipment, compared with before, it is not above a level.

The armor is strong and the arrow feathers are sharp. Our Tie Shuo is unrivaled in the world. Even if Tie Shuo is lost, there will still be a Tang knife in the last step, which can cut horses and kill people. It can cut off the shoulders.
It's enough, the next consideration should be how the generals can use it, instead of wasting money to expand equipment at the critical moment, Your Majesty, please think twice before acting. "

Li Shimin, who turned around again, had to nod his head to admit;
"What the two servants said is the main point. I accept these suggestions. Let's discuss when to send troops, how many troops should be dispatched, and who will be stationed at other important places. These are all things that cannot be ignored. Nor can we ignore the surrounding situation for the sake of the north."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Not to mention that the situation in Chang'an City is urgent, Li Shimin and his ministers are finalizing the final implementation plan, but on the Longxi side, Li Yu was urged three times by Zhang Baoxiang's messenger, and he agreed to give ten days' worth of food.

Li Yu also unambiguously sat on the horseback and gave orders;
"Come on!"

"He's here, Commander, please tell me."

"How far is it to reach Turkic Yehu's army camp?"

"Report to Commander, there are still about 120 miles left."

"Have you found any Turkic spies yet?"

"Not yet!"

"Oh, where are the people in the left and right rooms?"

"Marshal Qi, according to your instructions, we climbed mountains and ridges, traveled day and night, and moved forward quietly. There were movements from both sides at any time, and the distance to the designated place was less than a hundred miles."

"Very good. Continue on our way. Our central army doesn't have to hide. Go straight up and see how they react."

"only!"

Li Yu's army was divided into two parts, one part was Anxiwei, which was fully equipped with 3000 people, and the other part was 800 people who escorted food and grass. More than 2000 sturdy veterans were mobilized from Dingxi's old nest to make up for it.

Originally there were more than 1 people with the surname of the Zou family, and the stewards of each floor were old soldiers with eighteen surnames. Now two thousand old soldiers have been transferred. The leaders are all veterans, and this is especially true for the teams further up.

Including the previous [-] veterans, this team has a total of [-] clan leaders with [-] surnames.

The men and horses in the left and right rooms are exactly the same as the more than 1 people. They all wear the same dark armor, which was prepared by Li Yu a year in advance.

It is a uniform uniform specially designed by Li Yu. The armor is sewn into the interlayer of the clothes. Although it is a little thinner than the armor that An Xiwei publicly wears, it is not the existence of ordinary armor that can compare with beauty. In terms of safety factor, it is more beautiful than Before the imperial court used those ordinary armors, they were even more powerful.

The team arrived at [-]:[-] in the morning and stopped to cook. Li Yu and the chief stewards were discussing how to rescue in the temporary military tent, when the shouts of orderlies came from outside;
"Report."

"Come in."

"Report to the commander-in-chief that Turkic goshawks appeared [-] miles ahead. Three people formed a team, and a total of five teams were found. Our army scouted horses and met two of them. They killed five heads and got five horses. Only one Turkic People return with arrows and escape from birth."

"Understood, go on."

"Yes."

Li Yu tilted his head and thought for a while, looking at the Ling Bannerman next to him;

"Proceed with the order to send out 30 scouting teams, and each team will have [-] people from the original seven!"

"only!"

The great elder of the Lin family stroked his beard and smiled;

"The commander-in-chief's move, today's lunch, Turkic people are not easy to swallow."

The second elder also laughed;

"That's right. If you simply estimate the number of spies, you will be shocked. The number of spies in this configuration is almost the configuration of an army of [-]."

Li Yu happily sat in the teacher's chair;
"Actually, it's not meant to scare him. What's false is true, and what's true is false. We, the three of us, dispatched 6000 people each, and it's almost the same if you add one piece to less than 2. Let him do this first, and wait for our two armies to fight." When they met, they were extremely nervous and bluffed, and they were about to relax immediately.

After they relax, there will be support from the big house and the third house coming from both sides, and it will be more beneficial for us to make their moods change repeatedly, ups and downs, intersecting virtual and real.

At that time, with the help of the army of Ganzhou City, they will fight inside and outside, besiege on all sides, and fight casually, and they will retreat. "

Lin Wudi asked Li Yu with a smile;

"The commander-in-chief doesn't want to eat these people? They have a lot of war horses. If they eat them and hand them over to the court, we can keep a lot in the third room. Even if we can't eat them all, at least give them to us." Wouldn't it be wonderful to have all 8 people turned into cavalry!"

"Eat! Why don't you eat, but you have to have a way to eat, and you have to pay attention to what you eat. I don't know the exact number of people on the other side for the time being. I don't dare to believe what Zhang Baoxiang said. Maybe there are [-], or only [-] to [-]." , maybe there will be reinforcements again,

But after all, forty to fifty thousand is necessary, and it is unrealistic to eat all of them in the stomach, but there is no problem with getting him 2 to [-].
We Shangsanfang now have [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. Although the number of horse cavalry is not many, it is enough. You can get as much as you want, and you can’t be greedy. The lives of the people are important. I feel a little distressed at the loss of nearly [-], and I can't waste it this time. "

"Yes."
