Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 1073;

Chapter 28;

In the late spring of the fifth year of 640 AD.

On the prairie in the north, the long and difficult winter has finally passed.

Spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, the grass grows again and the warblers fly again, and the cattle and sheep begin to grow fat.

This is the spring of the prairie people, and it is also the beginning of a bumper harvest for the prairie people.

In summer and autumn, everything on the grassland will be thriving.

The Tubo ruler of Daxue Mountain abandons his sect and praises him. He makes an appointment with Khan of the eight surnames Tie Le and his old friend Tuyuhun.

We sent troops together, vowing to take down the great rivers and mountains of the Han people in the Central Plains, end the suffering of the children of the grasslands, and move to the beautiful and rich Central Plains, Jiangnan and other places.

Tubo sent 15 troops, Tie Le eight surnames sent 30 troops, and the Tuyuhun tribe took out all their wealth, a total of [-] troops.

In addition, there are 29 tribes large and small, with a total of 13 soldiers and horses, for the old Turks who want to restore their power, and Xue Yantuo belongs to the two tribes of Tiele and Tubo.

Among the Xue Yantuo tribe who wanted to kill Han people, there were quite a few who added up to more than 10 heads.

With an army of more than 60 soldiers, the Han people in the world were overwhelmed.

This is the most dangerous moment in the history of the Han people, the most dangerous year.

The sixteen guards of the Li and Tang courts were all sent out, and the six guards of the East Palace joined in.

In addition to the troops guarding the various frontiers, almost all the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized in the 22 guards of the world were taken out to go to the frontier fortress, and the number of soldiers capable of fighting was close to 30.

This is the first time that the Li and Tang courts have used all their strength and used large-scale troops since they took control of the world.

Li Shimin is not a fool either, the high officials in the court are also careful planning.

Therefore, before the prairie people got together neatly, Li Tang's sixteen guards drove to the frontier to guard.

The deployment of troops began in winter, and it was not until the end of spring, when more than 40 prairie people gathered, that Li Tang's sixteen guards were in order.

As for the six ranks of the Prince's East Palace, all of them are fully staffed and become the real guard ranks.

Each guard leads [-] troops, which is as many as the current sixteen guards.

Why didn't the East Palace Six rate take action?

Because the former East Palace had six guards and one guard had about 5000 people, so the leading generals used were not of high grade.

The current rate of the first guard has become an army and a guard. According to the rules of the Li Tang court, a fourth-rank general is not enough to guard a guard. The next generals are also fine.

In the previous six guards of the East Palace, there were only two third-rank generals in charge, so they could only lead two guards, and there was still a shortage of five guards' chief generals and deputy generals.

However, the Li and Tang courts only had these positions, so the extra ten chief generals and ten deputy generals severely stimulated the hearts of the Han people.

Regardless of whether they are academic officials or generals, and no matter what faction they are, countless people on the Han side are thinking about these ten places.

Even the emperor Li Shimin was worried about the stomach ache, and he was no exception. He also wanted to develop and strengthen the generals of the faction of the Qin Palace.

This is an excellent opportunity, and it is also an opportunity that rarely appears again, so even the emperor Li Shimin is very tempted.

The faction in the whole world, who is indifferent to this matter, is Li Yu's faction.

Because Qin Qiong was born as a general, the generals in the faction accounted for two-thirds.

Compared with other factions, Li Yu's side has a shortage of civil servants. Li Yu doesn't even want to look at these generals. The generals in the faction also have their own positions.I don't want to move around casually, so as not to be found out.

So Li Yu seemed extremely relaxed, and at the same time called the emperor who was worried about Li Yu, he was at ease for a while.

It also solved a lot of troubles for Li Yu, because Li Shimin had thought about it. If Li Yu cared about these quotas, he was going to eliminate Li Yu's party members after Li Yu cleared up the danger at the border. Find a way to get in touch with Li Yu's positions in the imperial court, and tell him to go back to An Ansheng to be a good patriarch of a powerful family.

As a result, Li Yu didn't have any interest. The information reported by the Xuanjia Army was that the civil and military people around him all ate, slept, and ate, and didn't take it seriously!

Only then did Li Shimin get down to earth, and he wholeheartedly fought for the ten third-rank places.

At the end of spring, when the dust finally settled, four of Li Shimin's military generals who were from the Prince of Qin's residence were promoted, one of the third rank, one of the third rank, and two of the third rank.

Ma Daquan, the three guards led by the six guards of the East Palace, was respectively selected.

The remaining six places were divided by Shandong Scholars faction, Li Jiancheng faction, Former Remains faction, and Li Yuan faction.Among them, the Shandong faction and the faction of the survivors of the former dynasty each got two places!
Li Jiancheng's faction obtained the number of generals from the third rank, and the eldest son of Xue Wanjun, the deceased Shangzhu Kingdom, took the position.

This is the eldest son of Xue Wanche's elder brother who died of illness. He is 42 years old. He is in his prime. During the last border war, he followed his uncle Xue Wanche's account and made a lot of contributions. The disapproval and disgustingness deserves its name!

And Li Yuan's faction got the third-rank quota, Li Yu's mortal enemy, the backbone of Qinghe Cui Shidi's eldest son faction, has been loyally supporting an uncle who urged Fatty to take the position.

Li Yu frowned on this, and Li Yu's faction also disliked it very much, but the imperial court was not something they could completely control.

Recently, the emperor watched him closely, and Li Yu's subordinates were all pretending to be indifferent to show the emperor, so Li Yu basically didn't participate in half a word of opinion.

No one thought that there would be an enemy guard who would lead the army.

However, this is not the exciting content. What is even more surprising is that in the room where the Taiyuan Wang family and Li Yu are hostile, there is a clan elder who is in the top position.

They are authentic, an old aristocratic faction left over from the previous dynasty.

So far, Li Yu's two enemies have all controlled real military power.

But it is not without good things!
The latest good thing is that Li Shimin finally made up his mind to give his eldest son a chance.

This time, Li Yu's name was justified.

He was named the general manager of Zhenbei University, commanding 30 troops to act in a unified manner, sitting in the northwest, defeating the enemy and protecting the country.

The 32-year-old handsome is also the commander-in-chief of the three armies, which is the first in Li Tang's court.

Commanders in their 30s don't mention Li Tang, and they are rare in the long history.

If you ask the common people, which man do they envy and hate the most in the world today?
Then the only answer is Li Yu.

More people passed on Li Yu as a monster-like guy with three heads and six arms.

Others say that Li Yu was reincarnated from a god in the sky to save the suffering.

He is a human being during the day and a fairy at night, who can cast beans into soldiers and breathe fire from his mouth.Otherwise, how to repel so many thieves?

It is said that in the past few years, Li Shenxian scattered a lot of beans and cut out a lot of paper figurines among the tens of thousands of people at the border.

The third day of April.

The six guards of the East Palace led the six-way troops to move in unison, and accompanied the coach Li Shilang to set off outside the Great Wall.

Li Shimin personally sent it to Kaixuan Mountain, 33 miles west of Chang'an City.

The reason why it was sent here, Li Shimin felt that the name was very good, it was a good sign and a good start.

Seeing the [-] troops marching mightily on the official road, Li Shimin was filled with emotion;

"His wisdom is indeed not low. Many years ago, he wanted to build roads to facilitate the deployment of troops from all over the world and the dispatch of generals from all over the world. It was all right. Now let's not talk about anything else, just talking about the transportation of grain and grass. Cheaper, with the same amount of food and grass as before, now I can eat for many more days, all because the distance is reduced and it is easier to walk, so I saved a lot of food and money.”

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Li Shimin's words attracted praise from more than 100 officials around him.

"If you want me to say, your majesty is still courageous, and it is all thanks to you."

"Hey...you can't say it too absolutely, and Li Shilang also has some credit for it."

Li Shimin is very proud of himself. What he said is that Li Yu also has a little credit, and the rest is mine.

"Of course, what your majesty said is right. Li Shilang has made some contributions, but without your majesty's support, I can be sure that no matter how good the idea is, it will not be carried out smoothly, and most of them will still be stillborn."

"It makes sense. Wang Shizhong's words are exactly what I want to say in my heart."

"Yes, I thought so too."

Li Shimin returned to Chang'an amidst a peaceful sound, the [-] troops hurried on their way unhurriedly, and didn't stop to rest until half past Xu hour.

Li Yu led a group of generals casually walking around in the barracks, observing, every little detail was noticed by him, and he would not let anything go.

Followed by Li Yu are a group of Taoist priests, a group of generals, and the guards of Li's second chamberlain.

Almost all the elders of the Lin Family of the Forbidden Army were dispatched, and they all accompanied the patriarch. After all, this was the largest battle in recent decades.

The success or failure of Li Tang's court is not a big deal, but the safety of the patriarch of Li's second wife is very important.

What's more, this time the involvement is too big, involving the success or failure of the Central Plains Dynasty, this matter is no small matter, and the Lin family of the imperial army attaches great importance to it.

Li Tang's loss is trivial, the stable living environment of Li's second wife is gone, that's the point.

Therefore, in the past dynasties, when the court encountered difficulties, the Li family in Longxi would send troops to help.

This time is no exception.

At the time of life and death, Li Shimin turned to the aristocratic family for help, and won the support of the five surnames and Qiwang.

The five surnames and Qiwang sent troops to help each other, and the number of soldiers and horses they gathered exceeded [-], and they made a difference.

The [-] troops strengthened Li Shimin's faith and reassured the Han people, so that people all over the world can sleep with peace of mind.

The 40 troops marching to the northern border, no matter how you say it, is something that makes the Han people happy and courageous.

Even the emperor Li Shimin was very happy and full of confidence, because the number of soldiers he could mobilize had never been so large. This was the first time that the number of soldiers and horses exceeded 40.

Not to mention that Li Shimin is full of confidence, but that Li Yu, the commander of the North Route Army, is watching three centurions building their own barracks under a soil slope.

The speed of the three centurions was well-proportioned. After finishing their work, they stood up straight in front of the barracks and accepted the inspection of the commander-in-chief and generals.

There was no expression on Li Yu's face, and his voice was even and steady;
"Your team's speed exceeded the time required by the coach. You did a good job and deserve to be commended."

Hearing the commander-in-chief's words, the praised team all had ruddy complexions, and seeing that the meritorious officers next to them had already taken out a book to record it, these people felt more at ease.

The military camps of all dynasties have their own set of management plans, how to act rightly, how to act wrongly, and the rewards and punishments. Of course, they cannot act casually.

After the accompanying Gongcao opened the book, he checked the name of the Centurion and reported to Li Yu;
"Commander, this is the banner of the right guard led by the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace, the third army of the Central Army, the T-shaped centurion, this year has passed seven straight characters, and one horizontal, it can be regarded as one of the 130 centurions led by the right guard. , No.2 of the first three centurions, all the centurions are dead, no soldiers."

Following the report of meritorious service, the hundred soldiers in front of the barracks proudly raised their chests. .

Li Yu nodded, still expressionless;
"No wonder they behaved so quickly, it turned out to be a hundred pawns!"

"Return to Commander, that's exactly the case."

"Very well, I'll ask them, everyone else shut up."

"Order!"

"How many changes have there been in the off-front formation?"

As soon as Li Yu asked what he said, a 40-year-old veteran in front of the centurion took a step forward with a cold and heartless voice;

"Successful Commander, it is fickle. It can change with the situation, it can also change with the terrain of the position, and it can change according to the needs. There is no fixed number."

Li Yu, who asked casually, didn't think about the standard answer that the soldier could give. He was about to evaluate the second centurion, but when he heard the soldier's response, he froze and looked at the ruthless soldier in surprise. .

"You are a soldier, you are not a pawn."

"Yes, but my subordinates feel that there is no important difference between a soldier and a pawn. It's fine to count me as a soldier, as long as the general's order is implemented properly, the name is not important."

"That's right, it's really not that important. The execution of military orders is what really matters. I agree with what you said."

"However, there are also some uses. For example, a veteran leading a centurion is completely different from a warrior leading it. If it is replaced by a warrior leading it, it will be even more different."

"You have a very strong murderous aura, and the morale of your brothers is like a rainbow, and the murderous aura is soaring to the sky. Such a team is like a tiger descending the mountain, with arrogance soaring to the sky!"

"With a team like yours, the Han people can defend their homes and the country, eat and sleep well."

"Yes."

"The commander-in-chief praises you, don't you know how to speak well?"

Facing Li Yu's praise, the warrior didn't change his face, nor did he flatter him. A general behind Li Yu was in a hurry, and was about to whip him with a whip, but was scolded by a general beside Li Yu.

"Old Liu, you're crazy. You're so presumptuous in front of the commander-in-chief!"

"Let you go there first, I'll wait for you, and we'll talk about the right and wrong at night, and the commander-in-chief won't even say a few words of modesty. It really pissed me off."
