The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1757 Xun You Walking Together

Chapter 970 (Going wrong again)

The arrangement on the east side was obviously written by Li Chengqian, otherwise the people in the three provinces would never have arranged such a situation, so what is the price of such an arrangement on the east side.

Xuan Shijing felt that it should be agreed to the arrangement of the three provinces to the west, and both sides took a step back to stabilize the new situation of Datang.

Li Chengqian wanted to train a new generation of generals, and as for Li Ke, he was also among them. It is estimated that Li Ke had approached Li Chengqian in private.

And what about the ministers in the court?It is because he does not want to let go of such an opportunity, and wants to continue to stabilize his position in the court. If this is the case, anyway, the war between the east and the west is divided, and one person is half, this will be done, right?

Therefore, this should also be a tacit agreement between Li Chengqian and the bigwigs from the three provinces.

In the east, he, the crown prince, made all the arrangements, while in the west, the courtiers of the three provinces made arrangements.

"We must strive to be on the safe side in the battle against Tubo in the west. Looking at the court, the one who can take on this important task is Lord Li Jing." Li Chengqian said: "So on the west side, Lord Li Jing will be in command and serve as the leader of the Longyou Road. Master Liu Rengui will serve as the chief commander of the march and the deputy commander."

Li Jing and Liu Rengui are indeed safe enough. They are both veterans on the battlefield. Needless to say, Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Rengui, had already made great military exploits when he defeated Goguryeo and Baekje.

With these two men leading troops to defend the west, it is indeed safe enough to deal with Tubo.

In this way, Datang's only risk is in the east.

The troops in the east are all generals of the younger generation. Xue Rengui, the leader, has experienced only two battles, both against Goguryeo. As for Li Ke, he once stayed in the army with His Majesty Li Er for a while, but Leading the army alone has not had any notable achievements. Cheng Chumo used to garrison in Longxi, and did some small troubles, but he never participated in this kind of war that frequently destroys the country.

"The arrangement on the west side couldn't be more appropriate." Xuan Shijing nodded and said: "In this way, it is the east side instead, but the risk is greater than that on the west side."

"The form of the east side is complicated. There are the remnants of Goguryeo and Baekje inside Xiongjin, and there are Silla and Wa kingdoms coveting outside." Li Jing said: "So, the east side is what is worrisome. Speaking of the distribution of troops, although Chang'an can allocate another [-] troops to Longxi, but the Longxi side may not need the [-] troops, so there is no need to send troops there in the first place. For the time being, call the local government soldiers."

Li Jing is a person who has come out of various battlefields, and he has fought against Tubo directly, and even beaten Tubo to the ground. What he said has enough weight, and of course Li Chengqian agrees.

"My lord Li Jing said that, but the Great Tang fought on the east and west fronts, and mobilized so many soldiers and horses at once. In terms of logistics, food and grass, it is a huge expenditure every day, so this battle cannot be fought for too long. "Changsun Wuji said.

Nearly 40 soldiers and horses are fighting on two fronts. If the time is too long, it will drag down Datang's logistics. If the logistics is collapsed, how long can the front army last?After a long time, Datang had no choice but to retreat without a fight, and then a piece of flesh was severely cut off.

"Well, yes, this battle really cannot be delayed." Cui Renshi also echoed.

"It's just that on the Tubo side, it's not easy to count these days." Li Jing said.

If you can't find a suitable opportunity to deal with the Tubo army, the war will have to be dragged on. After all, Tang's army still can't go up to the plateau. If the Tubo knows that the Tang Dynasty is fighting on two fronts, it will definitely drag it down and bring down the Tang Dynasty.

Now that he knew that Datang could not last long in this war, why did he send his soldiers to die?The more Tang was unwilling to procrastinate, the more they wanted to procrastinate instead.

"From this point of view, the breakthrough is still in the east." Chu Suiliang said.

"Your Highness, please reconsider the arrangement of the generals in the east. After all, the situation in the east is related to the entire war." Cui Dunli said, cupping his hands.

"This..." Li Chengqian murmured. Now all the problems and breakthroughs are placed in the east, which increases the pressure on the battlefield in the east. Is it possible that it is really necessary to redeploy manpower?

"My lords, you have to trust the young people of Datang." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "On the battlefield in the east, Xue Rengui is the main general. If nothing else, let's just say that everyone present here, when you arrive in Xiongjin, there are still people who are better than Xue Rengui. Someone who knows more about Xiongjin? Sun Tzu’s Art of War says that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Xue Rengui has prepared enough time in Xiongjin. You have to believe him, and he is absolutely capable of dealing with what happened in Xiongjin.”

"Although Xue Rengui has a good understanding of Xiongjin, don't forget that Xue Rengui didn't lead troops to achieve any results earlier." Chu Suiliang said.

It's not that Chu Suiliang wants to shoulder the burden with Xuan Shijing, it's just that the matter is of great importance, and it is about Tang Guozuo, so Chu Suiliang has to be careful.

"When Your Majesty conquered Goguryeo earlier, Xue Rengui was in the army. Later, the subordinate officials led troops to defeat Goguryeo, and Xue Rengui assisted from the side. Now, speaking of it, Xue Rengui is also qualified enough to be the chief general." Xuan Shijing said.

"So, is Duke Xuan strongly recommending Xue Rengui?" Cui Dunli said, "Would Duke Xuan be willing to be a guarantee for Xue Rengui?"

"Guarantee?" Xuan Shijing looked at Cui Dunli and smiled sarcastically: "If I vouch for Xue Rengui and Xue Rengui loses the battle, Master Cui thinks, what should I do?"

"If Xue Rengui loses the battle, Duke Xuan will naturally have to sit down." Cui Dunli said: "Duke Xuan has sins of knowing people and not knowing them, right?"

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Well, that's true. If it's true, Master Cui thinks, what should I do with myself?"

"It's simple, resign and go to the title." Cui Dunli said.

"Then if the subordinates serve as guarantor for Xue Rengui, will Xue Rengui win?" Xuan Shijing asked again.

"If we win the battle, it's because the heavens bless me, Tang Dynasty, what else does Xuan Gong want?" Cui Dunli said.

I have never seen such a brazen person.Xuan Shijing sighed in his heart, as expected, he had been in court for a long time, and as he got older, his face was directly proportional to time and age.

"Master Cui." Xuan Shijing looked at Cui Dunli.

"What's the matter?" Cui Dunli responded.

"Is there any enmity between me and Master Cui?" Xuan Shijing asked.

When Xuan Shijing asked so brightly, Cui Dunli really stopped him, yes, is there any enmity between the two?

"I don't think there seems to be much enmity or grudge between me and Mr. Cui, right?" Xuan Shijing laughed.
