Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 329 Coordinating and Dividing the Army
"Quite! Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng County, was appointed as the general manager of the Longyou Road, responsible for all military affairs in Youyou. Commander, act according to circumstances to support the front, and seal Li Ji as the general manager of the Zhendong March, and lead [-] troops to the Guannei Road to act according to circumstances." Li Shimin issued a series of seals to arrange the leading figures to facilitate the front to lead the army.

As soon as Li Shimin sealed the decree, someone quickly wrote the imperial decree and handed it over for him to read, and then sealed it and sent it to the front in eight hundred miles.

"I obey the decree!" Li Jing, Li Ji went out to lead the decree immediately!

"I request the newspaper to announce the news, to reassure the people, and at the same time let the people pay attention to the unruly people." Fang Xuanling played out of the class.

"Precisely! All the news should be announced according to the facts, and the publicity should be increased. We must let everyone know the strength of Datang and the reasons for his victory." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Your servant obeys the decree!" Yu Shinan, the chief officer of the newspaper, comprehended the spirit and went out to lead the decree.

"Order all localities to pay close attention to the surrounding small countries and strengthen their defenses. The Ministry of Industry will step up production of weapons and arrows. The Ministry of Households will make statistics and plans to recruit civilians at any time. They will recruit Hongwen Museum, Wuyuan, Military Academy, etc. to transfer personnel to join the Ministry of War to listen." Li Shimin followed. Then came several orders.

"Minister obeys the decree!" The head of the department, who was repeatedly pointed at by Li Shimin, hurriedly stepped out of the class leader's decree.

"Let the world know that at this time of national calamity, no matter who dares to violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, they will be punished without mercy. The Yushitai will be supervised, and the Ministry of Punishment will strengthen supervision and inspection." Li Shimin continued to issue orders, because this time there has been an expected In the most serious situation, it is natural for the whole people to prepare for war, and no accidents in the country are allowed.

"I obey the decree!" Wei Zheng and others also solemnly went out to lead the decree.

"The rest of the people should perform their duties without mistakes. If there is any slack, they will be severely punished. The left and right servants will shoot, the chief officials of the three provinces, the six ministers, the Yushitai, and the secretary supervisor will stay. The others will leave the court." Li Shimin emphasized again. , and then announced the dispersal of the dynasty.

"For this situation, what's your opinion?" After the court was over, Li Shimin led the crowd into the side hall and asked after sitting down.

"Everything has been predicted, but I don't know the specific strength of the troops. I think we can only make preparations now, and make a decision when we have accurate information." Xiao Yu said while stroking his beard.

"Goguryeo has not moved, the situation in western Liaoning is unknown, Tubo should not be underestimated, and the remaining [-] elite soldiers in Chang'an should not move rashly." Since the Tang caravans have traveled all over the world in recent years, the spies placed in them have already figured out the strengths of various countries. Fang Xuanling, who is in business, knows best, and he is also Datang's eyes and ears to the outside world.

"The Tubo attack is nothing more than Shuzhong, Jiannan Road, and Longyou Road. Now there are enemies in Jiannan Road and Longyou Road. If Tubo attacks, it is likely to be in Shuzhong.

In central Shu, Songzhou is the first to bear the brunt. Now Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, leads 1 elite soldiers here, and there are more than [-] people in Niu Jinda. Defense is not a problem. "Li Jing introduced.

"Liaoxi reported last month that [-] new troops have been formed, and there are nearly [-] troops. There is no problem with defense. The key now is to solve other places as soon as possible to avoid causing more turmoil." The most clear, and at the same time Li Shimin also valued his decision very much.

"I have already ordered Zhang Liang, Changsun Shunde, if there is any change in Wa Island, all beheaded, and there is a navy here, so we are not afraid of Baekje and other countries attacking.

There are many captives in the country, as well as some unwilling people, who also have to guard against them, so we must use the momentum of thunder to destroy all the way first. "Li Shimin said murderously, obviously attacking so many small countries made him furious.

"I suggest mobilizing the Lingnan navy, and some soldiers stationed in Luoyang. With the help of the navy, we can support the west of Liaoning, and secondly, we can have an extra flexible force." Li Jing suggested.

"Accurate! Under the decree of Wu Guogong, Lingnan is mainly defensive. If Nanyang falls, you can ignore it and recover it in the future.

If there is any change in Qin Huaiyu's decree, he will return to Nanzhao immediately. If Liu Dewei in Nanzhao can't keep it, he will take every step and withdraw to Shuzhong. "Li Shimin continued to decree, and he was very courageous, and he could give up all the occupied areas outside the Central Plains.

"Your Majesty is wise! Your servant obeys the order!" Although he understands the truth, it still takes a lot of courage to give up Zhenna, and everyone admires it for this.

"Are the military supplies and equipment at the border customs fully equipped?" Li Shimin asked concerned.

"Materials from all over the country have been prepared in the Guannei Road. Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yi, Chi Gong, the Duke of E, Cheng Mingzhen, the Duke of Dongping County, and Xue Wanjun, the Duke of Yong'an County, have been stationed on the Guannei Road with [-] soldiers after the autumn harvest, ready to support the front How to arrange it, please ask the Holy One to decide." Li Jing introduced that this was also arranged long ago. Guanneidao recruited a large number of elite soldiers to the front line. It's much easier to start.

"What suggestion does Duke Wei have? How do you think it should be arranged?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically.

"Reporting to Your Majesty! I think that Longyou Dao needs to defend a large area, and the Western Turks have the most troops, so it should be the focus of defense, and it is best to defeat them first.

Jiannan Road, Hetao County, defense should be no problem, there is no Longyou Road, the land is vast, the city is small, easy to be attacked by divisions, and it may not be easy to defend if there are fewer troops. "Li Jing was just voicing his own suggestion. As for how to arrange Qin Qiong and others, of course Li Shimin was in charge.

No one would doubt Li Jing's military vision, not to mention that he explained it so clearly, Li Shimin naturally knew how to choose.

"Add Qin Qiong as the deputy chief of the Longyou Road march, together with Yu Chigong and Cheng Mingzhen, lead [-] government soldiers to Longyou Road as soon as possible, add Shen Guogong Gao Shilian as the rear army chief, Xue Wandu as the deputy chief, supervise the transportation of grain and grass materials without delay.

Li Jing, Duke of the State of Wei, was granted the title of General Manager of the Three Armies of the Tang Dynasty, and he was fully in charge of this big station. "Li Shimin got up and bowed his hands cautiously.

Li Jing hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, his eyes were red, he bent down and cupped his hands gratefully and said: "Master! You must do your best to live up to the entrustment of the Holy Majesty."

For Li Shimin's move, it is equivalent to entrusting the fate of the country. While Li Jing was moved, the pressure also increased greatly. Although all this was prepared in his heart, but facing the attacks of several countries, saying that there is no pressure is completely deceiving himself. Fortunately, Datang has been in the past few years. Rapid development, better living conditions, many more elite soldiers, and weapons and equipment, horses, etc. are not the same as before.

Afterwards, the monarchs and ministers dispersed and were busy with each other. One after another, the military order was issued from Chang'an, and teams of messengers rode out from the gates of Chang'an on fast horses. The war machine of the Tang Dynasty was fully activated.
