Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 410 Requesting Order to Help Li Er Give the Sword
"Ding ding. ding. ding.!"

On the tall hot air balloon, Li You was leading his two students to manipulate the balloon. Suddenly, the bell on the hot air balloon rang, making a crisp sound, and Li You was taken aback.

Xiao Baoer on the side was surprised: "Teacher, why did the bell ring?"

Di Renjie hurriedly said: "Teacher, this bell is not only used in emergencies, it is ringing now, is there something happening down here?"

"What will happen under the forehead?" Xiao Baoer was a little surprised.

Li You said at this time: "I don't know, but since the bell is ringing, then we have to go down, hurry up. Reduce the fuel, let's go down slowly."

"No!" Xiao Baoer and Di Renjie quickly agreed.

About five or six minutes later, the hot air balloon slowly descended. Before the hot air balloon stopped, Li You heard Quan Zhixi's miserable cry: "Your Highness...!"

Li You was slightly taken aback, because Quan Zhixi usually called himself Li Lang, but at this time, he called himself His Highness, so he didn't need to guess. Something big must have happened. Li You was helped out of the hot air balloon by Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang. I heard Xue Rengui say in Li You's ear: "Just now, according to the bad news, Guo Xinke has rebelled and is attacking Hong County, while the Queen's father, Quan Shilang, is defending Hong County to the death."

"Hiss!" Li You was speechless: "Why didn't the teacher withdraw by himself?"

"Your Highness, you must save the slave's father!" Quan Zhixi burst into tears again.

Li You hurriedly went over and gently supported Quan Zhixi who was crying so hard that she couldn't help herself, and said: "Zhixi, don't worry, I will enter the palace now, and I will definitely ask my father to rescue my father-in-law."

"Your Highness..." Quan Zhixi looked at Li You excitedly.

Here, Li You also put Quan Zhixi aside beside Shao Yiyi and said, "Yiyi helps me take care of the princess, I will come whenever I go!"

In the Ganlu Hall, suet candles have been lit, and there are several glass kerosene lamps on Li Shimin's table, with that kind of glass cover. Li You only brought back fifty of this type of glass kerosene lamps.

Five of them were sent to the palace, and Li You kept five for his own use.

I also gave Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other ministers one by one. Generals like Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong don’t have them yet, but for generals like Cheng Yaojin, Li You sent a kerosene lighter.

Then there were about [-] glass kerosene lamps left, and Li You bought one for [-] guan. During the Tang Dynasty, glass kerosene lamps like these were never a luxury.

If you want to buy three thousand guan, you have to grab it and find various relationships.

A small kerosene lamp with a glass cover, the light is ten times that of a candle, and it is not afraid of the wind, especially the glass, which is crystal clear, which is a low-key luxury. In addition to the glass kerosene lamp, the kerosene lighter is also sold for three hundred per piece , The [-] brought back without lighters were also sold out in seconds.

These two alone are 18 guan. The money came really fast. Of course, Li You spent it quickly. During this time, all of Li You's money was spent on one thing, and this thing is a money-burning thing. , but it is an industry that Li You must develop in the future.

"Hong County is under siege. Ladies and gentlemen, let's see what we should do next?" Li Shimin sat on his chair and looked at the ministers below.

Changsun Wuji first said: "Guo Xinke had objected a long time ago, but I, the official department, did not find out. It is the negligence of my official department. I ask your majesty to come down."

"Hey!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to plead guilty. Hong County is under siege, and Minister Quan is still guarding it. I want to know how to fight this battle. How can we rescue Hong County as quickly as possible. Get rid of Guo Xinke!"

"This!" Li Shimin's words made all the ministers dumbfounded, not only civil servants, but also many generals didn't know what to do.

Because it is very easy for Guo Xinke to defeat, but now that Li Shimin proposes to rescue Hong County as quickly as possible, this matter is a bit difficult.

Zhang Liang got up slightly and said: "Your Majesty, almost all the soldiers in Jinzhou are in the hands of Guo Xinke, so we have to transfer soldiers from other places, and it will take time to dispatch other soldiers."

Ever since there were large-scale wars, the deployment of troops has been emphasized, not only in ancient times.

It is very troublesome to regulate the deployment of troops. There have been incidents of dead people. For example, when Qin Shihuang attacked Guangxi, there were no roads and railways at that time, and he had to pass through subtropical forests. Tiredness and disease killed half of the people.You can’t, you can walk on your own, walk on the road, walk a thousand kilometers, and see how you feel.And fighting is about running, running!
More importantly, ancient wars were dominated by people. Just like fighting in groups, it is easier to handle things when there are more people.

To fight a large-scale and decent war, we need to concentrate our forces and deploy them in a unified manner.

It is necessary to mobilize elites from various provinces, and besides this mobilization of troops.It is also necessary to collect and deliver enough food supplies, which is a huge project, and there were no instant noodles and compressed biscuits at that time.

For example, in siege warfare, before you capture the city, you need to prepare at least twice as much food as the city, otherwise you will starve to death before you enter.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty had the Fubing system. What is the Fubing system? The Fubing usually served as farmers who cultivated the land.Mansion soldiers prepare their own weapons and horses to participate in the battle, and there are Zhechong Mansions responsible for the selection and training of mansion soldiers all over the country.

Li Shimin's order came to the Zhechong Mansion, and the Zhechong Mansion had to call up those soldiers, and those soldiers had to buy horses and weapons by themselves, so the time was wasted.

It is easy to defeat Guo Xinke, but it is the most difficult to immediately rescue Hong County. Guo Xinke has an army of [-], and it will only take one or two days to defeat Hong County, and it is impossible to gather in one or two days He went to the army to relieve the siege of Hong County.

This is the most important thing Li Shimin called everyone to come this time, and some people will definitely say to let the twelve guards go out to fight. The so-called twelve guards are the troops of the Tang Dynasty emperor in Chang'an City.

They are the left and right guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right martial guards, the left and right guards, the left and right Jinwu guards, the left and right leading army guards, and the left and right Qianniu guards. The capital is the unity of the government soldiers and the imperial army.

But it is worth emphasizing that the generals of the Twelve Guards only "remotely lead" the military government of the world, and do not have real command power in wartime.In wartime, the emperor temporarily dispatched the marching marshal as the supreme commander.

If the twelve guards are dispatched, it is very simple to destroy Guo Xinke, but what I want to explain here is that the speed of dispatching the twelve guards is actually slow, because at least 3 people are needed to dispatch one of the twelve guards.

You have 3 people on the road, Chang'an is at least three hundred miles away from Jinzhou, and the army is [-]. You have to walk a hundred miles a day to get to the end. Three hundred miles is three days. When you arrive in Hong County in three days, the day lily It's cold.

What I want to remind here is that you have to be careful of Guo Xinke's sneak attack during your three-day journey. If you walk too fast and can't look at each other, you may still be attacked, which is very troublesome.

Li Shimin sighed: "Could it be that Hong County can't be saved? Then what about Minister Quan, he belongs to King Qi!"

Before finishing the following words, I heard Li Junxian shout: "His Royal Highness King Qi is here!"

At this time, Li You was wearing armor, and walked in heroically. When he came in, everyone's eyes lit up. Li You's appearance was already a bit like Li Shimin. These veterans felt a little dazed, why they looked so much like His Majesty.

"My son, Li You, sees my father, forgive me, I can't fully salute my son because of his armor!"

Li You bowed slightly, but couldn't reach ninety degrees.

"Wanli You'er, what are you going to do?" Li Shimin looked at Li You and asked in surprise.

Li You smiled slightly: "Please fight. I want to ask His Majesty's will, and I will rush to Hong County immediately, and I will rush to help in the starry night!"

"How many people do you have?" Li Shimin looked at Li You in surprise.

"1000 people!" Li You cupped his fists.

"You'er, stop messing around, Guo Xinke has 3 people, even if your 1000 people go, it's just a drop in the bucket!" Changsun Wuji quickly scolded Li You.

Of course, this scolding was for the good of Li You, and he didn't want Li You to die.

It's just that Changsun Wuji didn't know that Li You had already made up his mind to go to Hong County, so after Changsun Wuji scolded him, Li You looked at Changsun Wuji with a slight smile and said, "Uncle Changsun, this time Nephew had to go, even if he knew that there was a tiger's den in front of him, he still had to make a dash for it, because it was his teacher and his father-in-law who were trapped in Hong County at this time.

That is the person closest to my nephew. When my nephew was most confused, he was the one who never gave up on his nephew, taught him all the time, and even married his own daughter to his nephew. The nephew wanted to repay his kindness. .

Of course, if it was you, uncle, who was there today, my nephew would definitely go to the rescue, without him, because you are also the closest person to my nephew! "

After finishing speaking, Li You looked at Li Shimin in front of him again and bowed, "I beg your father to make an order, time is running out, Li You must send troops immediately.!"

"You might die!" Li Shimin looked at Li You and said firmly.

At this time, Li You smiled calmly: "I know this, but I have no regrets, I beg my father to help me...!"

"Okay!" Li Shimin suddenly slapped the table and shouted loudly: "This is my son. In the battle of Luoyang and the battle for Huiluo (Mengjin Ferry), after Huang Junhan's troops captured Huiluo City in a surprise attack, Zhen Xingye assisted Huang Junhan to repel the elite Wang Shichong who came to recapture Cangcheng.

Without him, Huang Junhan is kind to me.

This time, Yuer, your teacher was besieged. If you don’t save me, I will look down on you, but you didn’t let me down. Go and save your teacher. I believe in you. Repel the elite Wang Shichong who came to recapture Cangcheng, and repel Guo Xinke to rescue your teacher.

And don't worry, you go first, as long as you stick to it for three days, my army will arrive later.

Someone give me a sword! "
