I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 38 Li Zheng attended a high-level military meeting for the first time

"Report back to the manager."

"There is still a lot of medicine allocated by the imperial court, which is enough to treat the wounded in our army."

"However, these drugs can only be used as auxiliary drugs. Many of the seriously injured soldiers have to see whether they can survive."

"Turkic sharp arrows have barbs. Taking them out will cause massive bleeding. It is also extremely difficult to heal those who are hit by Turkic scimitars in vital parts."

"Coupled with the shortage of military doctors in the wounded barracks, many soldiers' lives are left to fate."

Zhang Gongjin said with a sad expression.

Hearing this, the chief manager Li Jing also nodded sadly:
  "Tell the military doctors of the wounded barracks to do your best to treat him."

Li Jing has been on the battlefield for most of his life, and he has often seen casualties on the battlefield.

Regarding Zhang Gongjin's words, he naturally understood what they meant.

On the military frontline where medical conditions are poor, there are only a few military doctors. Many are local doctors. Some only know how to bandage wounds, stop bleeding and disinfect. There are not many left.

Under such medical conditions, many soldiers could only rely on their own bodies to survive.

If you can't survive, you can only wait to die.

"As for those wounded Turkic soldiers, I think we can forget them. Treatment is just a waste of our Datang medical supplies."

Li Jing said with a gloomy face.

In this battle at Wangting, our Tang army suffered nearly 20,000 casualties. Those injured Turkic soldiers did not know how many of our Tang soldiers were killed. If these people hadn't surrendered in the end and were still young and strong laborers, Li Jing would have wanted to kill all these Turkic soldiers.

Using precious medicine and wasting precious resources of military doctors to save these people will only hurt the hearts of the soldiers fighting on the front line.

"Understandable."

Li Jing's words hit Zhang Gongjin's heart, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Captain Wei."

"How is the reorganization situation of the Northern Expeditionary Army?"

Li Jing waited for Zhang Gongjin to sit down and asked Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Lingzhou, who was sitting under Zhang Gongjin.

"The Northern Expeditionary Army attacked the Royal Court Barrier. Each army suffered a lot of casualties. Some regiments and brigades lost their entire organization. Naturally, they had to be reorganized."

"Report to the Grand Manager."

"The general has reorganized the entire army."

"The entire army is organized into eight legions, each with 10,000 soldiers. Except for the vanguard army, which is led by Dingyuan General Li Zheng, the rest are led by seven loyal generals."

(General Zhongwu is the fourth grade)

Governor Wei Xiaojie stood up and replied.

"This is a great arrangement!"

Li Jing was very satisfied with Wei Xiaojie's arrangements. He motioned Wei Xiaojie to sit down, and then looked at the generals present:

"In the battle of the Turkic Royal Court, all the main Turkic forces were lost, and Jieli Khan was also captured alive by our army. There will not be much hindrance in the subsequent attack on the remaining Turkic forces."

Having said this, Li Jing stood up and pointed at the military map behind him:
  "Currently, there are still two remaining Turkic forces."

"One group is composed of 50,000 soldiers and horses commanded by the Turkic general Sijie Aijin from the east. Most of them have been annihilated by the British General Xu's East Route Army."

"This remnant of the Turks is nothing to worry about."

"There is also a group of 50,000 troops led by Jieli Khan's younger brother Yugu Qamdu, but no trace has been found."

"However, according to Tan Malai News, the remaining Turkic forces have unanimously decided to elect Yugu Changdu as the new Turkic Khan."

"Once these remaining Turkic forces are allowed to join forces with Yugu Qamdo, it will be a huge trouble for them to retreat back to Mobei."

When Li Jing said this, he glanced at the generals present with a serious expression.

At this time, Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Lingzhou, stood up again:
  "Report to the Chief Superintendent!"

"According to the arrangements of the General Manager, after the reorganization of the army is completed, our Northern Expedition troops will turn westward and set out within the next few days to search and annihilate the remaining Yuguqamdo tribe of the Turks."

"In addition, according to the commander-in-chief's wishes, the final report of the capture of the Turkic royal court, the annihilation of the main Turkic force, and the capture of Jieli Khan alive was sent to Chang'an as quickly as possible. I believe that His Majesty will be delighted when he sees the battle report."

heard.

Li Jing nodded: "That's very good."

Then he looked at Li Zheng sitting in the back row.

"General Lee."

"You are currently the fifth-rank Dingyuan General, temporarily acting as the Vanguard Army General. I have decided to give you a set of Kirin armor as an encouragement."

"I hope you, the Pioneer Army, will continue to work hard and make new achievements."

Li Jing said loudly.

As Li Jing finished speaking, a guard walked into the handsome tent holding a tray. On the tray was a brand new set of armor.

"Last General Li Zheng, thank you so much, Chief Manager."

Li Zheng stood up and bowed to thank him.

"Li Zheng!"

"I saw in the military birthplace record that you are only fifteen years old. As an adult under the age of sixteen, you served as the general of the vanguard army and commanded ten thousand troops. This is unique in the past dynasties."

"I hope you can uphold your determination to serve the country and continue to fight for the country."

"As long as you can continue to gain military exploits, I hereby promise to continue to promote you to official positions and report to His Majesty!"

Li Jing is full of hope for young Li Zheng.

"Please don't worry, Chief."

"The final general is willing to go through fire and water for our great Tang Dynasty, even to the death."

Li Zheng said with firm eyes.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Li Jing said three words in a row, and then changed the topic:
  "Next let's discuss how to find and annihilate the remaining Turkic Yugu Qamdo tribe..."

……

Chang'an, the imperial palace.

Li Shimin stood in the main hall, looking at the gloomy sky, feeling worried.

In front of him stood the young prince Li Chengqian.

"Father, it's time for you to take a rest. Since the Northern Expedition, you have been working day and night. This will wear down your body!"

Li Chengqian looked at his worried father and persuaded him in a low voice.

Li Shimin sighed deeply:
  "Qian'er, do you know why I let you participate in government affairs at such a young age?"

"Currently, our country, the Tang Dynasty, seems to have good governance and peace, but in fact there are still many internal and external troubles."

"The power of the clans in our Tang Dynasty is rampant. The talents selected by the imperial examinations are squeezed out and suppressed by the clans and nobles, and it is difficult to get ahead. The whole court is lifeless."

"Foreign invasion, our Tang Dynasty is in the northern expedition to the Turks. If we fail to eliminate the main Turkic forces and let them retreat to Mobei, it will be a huge hidden danger."

"There are also Tuyuhun in the northwest, Goguryeo in the northeast, Tubo in the southwest, and some chieftains in Lingnan, all of whom are ready to make moves."

"The area around our Datang City is not safe!"

"We can only deal with the most powerful Turks first, and then we, the Tang Dynasty, can deal with the surrounding barbarians one by one."

"It's just that I don't know how the war is going in the north. I hope Li Jing and the others can send good news."

Li Chengqian nodded understandingly, and then said:
  "Father, some time ago, didn't the vanguard of the Northern Expedition led by Duke Wei annihilate 20,000 Turkic elites?"

"With Duke Wei sitting on the front line, we will definitely be able to annihilate the main Turkic forces and level the northern border."

"Father is too worried!"

heard.

Li Shimin looked far away and said quietly:

"I hope the pharmacist will not disappoint me!"

Immediately, Daming Palace fell into silence again...
