Tang Taizong is my elder brother

Chapter 69 The Art of Memorial

After finishing the order, Chang Sheng went to Gao Ziran's tent with his hands behind his back.

"How do we calculate our military merits? Does General Li have a plan?" Gao Ziran asked a question he was most concerned about. Before he came, he asked himself that he had already memorized the military laws of the Sui army.

"The merits of my Changsheng Battalion are distributed according to the situation of the war. You can rest assured about this." Changsheng gave the opponent a reassurance first, and then slowly said: "This time we have won a big victory. Just sort them in descending order. The person at the front is the most dangerous and deserves the most credit, followed by the cavalry and infantry brothers in the back row, and the last row is equal to the archers. Auxiliary soldiers are calculated separately. how?"

"General Li, this method is very good." Mr. Gao stroked his beard and nodded in praise.

"In addition, the extra heads will be distributed to the officers of all levels and you, my lord."

"Okay, okay, I'm here to congratulate General Li on his promotion." Master Gao laughed so hard that he couldn't close his eyes when he heard the words he wanted to hear the most.

"Of course there are also these two Qianniuwei brothers." Chang Sheng looked at Zhang Qiguan and Wang Qiguan, "The two fought bravely, and each beheaded five levels!"

"Oh, how can this be done? This is to embarrass me." The two flag officers looked at each other, both surprised and happy. They traveled thousands of miles to this place where birds don't shit, isn't it just to make meritorious deeds? , They felt more and more that the decision they made was really correct.

The more the three of them looked at longevity, the more pleasing they were. With such achievements at such a young age, it is not impossible to become a generation of military gods in the future. If you follow such a famous general, the credits you get are all genuine.

"As for the issue of reporting, I have already prepared a memorial, and now I will read it to General Li, and we will discuss if there is any inappropriateness." Master Gao cleared his throat after finishing speaking, and began to read while shaking his head.

Unexpectedly, just after hearing a few words, Chang Sheng couldn't help but interrupt him: "Master Gao, did you make a mistake in writing, defeating 760 Turkic Tartars with [-] soldiers in the field, beheading [-] people?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Gao Ziran and Qian Niuwei replied in unison, their tone very sure.

"Take one as ten? We won't be God of War anymore? Can anyone believe this?" Chang Sheng had heard of launching satellites before, but it was the first time she had seen such a powerful release. The three of them really increased the number of enemies to ten in one breath. times.

Seeing Changsheng's expression, Gao Ziran shook his head inscrutablely, as if pointing out a puzzle: "General Li heard correctly, it was [-] Turks, the number was right, and the result was right, [-] Turks were captured by General Li. The soldiers are chasing crap, this officer and these two brothers can testify!"

"That's right!" The two men puffed up their chests at the same time, and their unwavering expressions made Changsheng Zhenzhen read the military briefing for them both.

"Three adults, the main force of the Western Turks on the front line of our army is a total of 1000 soldiers and 1 auxiliary soldiers. It is impossible to gather them all. In addition, we faced more than [-] enemy troops in the defense of Dunhuang before. , more than [-] people is too exaggerated, it is impossible for so many enemies to appear in front of us all at once."

The three of them nodded after listening, but with expressions on their faces, Mr. Gao, as the highest official among them, replaced them and said, "How could there be no ten thousand? Both Western Turkic and Northern Turkic are Turkic, right?"

"That's true, but they..."

"Don't worry about anything else, just tell me if what I said is wrong."

"That's right."

"It's not enough. Our army fought with the Northern Turks and beheaded half of them. They are horsemen. How can our two legs catch up with other people's four legs? The beheading of more than 700 people, the official said, defeated 1 Ten thousand people are already very conservative.”

"But the adults in the court?" Changsheng still has doubts. She thinks that the record of one against ten in field battles should only appear in story books, and cannot happen in real situations.

Unexpectedly, Gao Ziran raised his voice and asked: "With the testimony of more than 700 heads, who can not believe it, who dare not believe it?!"

Seeing Changsheng's hesitant expression, Gao Ziran also felt a burst of emotion in his heart: "I have seen General Li's martial arts strategy before I know what a general is. Can't get promoted."

He said so, and the other two people were full of resentment. They kept shaking their heads and sighed: "Master Gao is very right. The two of us also express our deep sympathy to General Li. God is really unfair."

Gao Ziran saw that the emotional foreshadowing was basically in place, so he said firmly: "General Li doesn't need to say much, I have already decided to report it according to what is written in this memorial. General Li just needs to remember the content. Now I have to continue. Missed..."

"There were a thousand officers and soldiers in the Longevity Battalion, more than two hundred died in this battle, and the rest were injured..."

Changsheng couldn't bear it anymore, he interrupted him quickly and said: "Slow down, Mr. Gao, are you mistaken, we didn't die so many people~"

"General Li, you are young again. Of course you are right. I have witnessed the facts with my own eyes. But if I report the truth, who will believe it?"

Gao Ziran became more and more excited as he spoke, he turned and pointed to the two Qianniuwei behind him and asked, "Beheading more than [-] people, only three died, would you believe it?"

Zhang Qiguan quickly shook his head and said: "I don't believe in a humble job, even if I am beaten to death!"

Seeing Gao Ziran looking at him, the other person suddenly let out a loud laugh, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would definitely not believe it."

Gao Ziran was very satisfied with the two people's answers, turned around, sat down slowly, picked up a cup of tea with both hands gracefully, skimmed off the foam on it, took a sip and said: "These two brothers are here today. Adding me, the three of us are still dreaming about what happened on the battlefield today. If I write it down in black and white, how many people will believe it? Do you think I am right? General Lee?"

Changsheng was completely convinced by the other party this time. Hearing this string of outrageous and exaggerated numbers, he only felt one thing: magic.
