Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 180 Armored Eastern Expedition
Slogans such as Wei Guangzheng are said in a serious tone, which seems hypocritical.

But Li Qinzai really thought so.

A person from the 21st century, who came to this strange world, started as a son of the rich and powerful, with fresh clothes and angry horses without worrying about food and clothing. It can be said that he has fully enjoyed the dividends brought to him by this peaceful world.

This is not only the efforts of three generations, but also the peaceful world created by the monarchs, ministers and people of the whole country.

Slogans such as loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are too empty. It is a very realistic sentence. If you eat the dividends, you have to give something.

After leaving Taiji Palace, Li Qinzai returned to the Duke's Mansion. After meeting Li Ji, Li Ji ordered Buqu to bring him a brand new set of armor.

Li Qinzai had no choice but to try it on.

The armor is very heavy, about forty kilograms, and it looks like an iron chimney is being carried on the body, making it uncomfortable to move your hands and feet.

"Grandpa, my grandson is the commander of the army, Shi, a civil servant in the army, so there's no need to wear armor, right?" Li Qinzai said sadly.

Li Ji snorted: "The enemy's cold arrows are coming, do you think the arrows can tell who is a civil servant and who is a general?"

Li Qinzai sighed, he understands the truth, but you are so playful when you are young, who did you learn from?
Li Jishuo said indifferently: "This time when we went to the east to conquer Baekje and the Japanese kingdom, my army and land divisions, the king of the Tang Dynasty, marched side by side. The commander of the land march is Liu Rengui. He is good at planning, but his temper is too straightforward, his words are harsh, and he is not easy to get along with."

"The head of the waterway march is Sun Renshi, who leads more than 170 troops and more than [-] warships. He is rushing from Shandong to Baekje. The two divisions will join forces at the port of Baekje. The two armies will unite to attack the remnants of Baekje and Japan. "

"Your expedition this time will be under the command of Master Sun Ren. Your job is to record food, grass, military supplies, and supervise logistics. Of course, if you have a clever strategy against the enemy, you can offer advice to Master Sun in person. This is a national war, and you must not hide it."

Li Qinzai nodded and wrote it down.

Li Ji paused, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Also, don't associate with Liu Rengui."

Li Qinzai was taken aback, and asked tentatively, "Grandpa has a grudge with Liu Rengui?"

Li Ji's face suddenly turned ugly, and he snorted, and said: "During the Zhenguan period, when this animal was in charge, the old man followed the late emperor to conquer Goguryeo. Later, the king's master failed to catch him, and the late emperor led the main force to retreat. The old man and Li Daozong led [-] steps. In the rear of the cavalry, on the way to the rear, the lieutenant will inevitably violate some military discipline..."

Li Qinzai asked curiously, "What military discipline did you violate?"

Li Ji coughed uncomfortably, and said, "It's just that they robbed some property in Goguryeo, slaughtered a few small towns, women and so on, and ruined a few..."

Li Qinzai was silent for a long while, but still echoed, "Sure enough, it's just a violation of military discipline by a million dollars..."

Li Ji glanced at him unkindly, and then said: "After returning to the Tang Dynasty, Liu Rengui heard the news from nowhere. Severely punish the old man."

"The first emperor had a broad mind. He didn't care about the crimes committed by the soldiers under the old man's command in the enemy's country, so he kept Liu Rengui's memorial to impeachment..."

"Who would have thought that that wicked animal saw that the late emperor had made no sign, so he participated in the impeachment one after another. I participated in the old man for a whole month, a month! Every day, the reference book was handed over to the late emperor's case. Let me take Li Jing and Hou Junji as examples, please. The late emperor decided the old man's crime according to the punishment of the two men."

Li Qinzai was slightly startled.

Li Jing and Hou Junji, the former conquered the Turks in the north, and were plundered by the ginseng army after making great military achievements. Of course, this is only the superficial reason. The real reason is that Li Jing really made great achievements.

After Hou Junji conquered Gaochang Kingdom, he also plundered and robbed Gaochang Kingdom's royal treasury, and was severely punished by the late emperor.The punishment made him lose all hope and wish to die, and finally rebelled against Li Chengqian.

If the first emperor really wanted to punish Li Ji based on the two's faults as a precedent, it is not certain whether the British dukedom can be preserved.

Gritting his teeth secretly, Li Qinzai completely agreed with his grandfather's words at this time, Liu Rengui is indeed a vile beast.

Yes, it's that unprincipled.

It is no longer a new thing that the Tang Dynasty used troops abroad, and those famous generals slaughtered cities and looted at every turn.Including Li Jing and Li Ji, they often turned a blind eye to what the soldiers under their command did.

The two armies are at war, and the sword has no eyes.Who hasn't done something insane in enemy territory?Very normal operation.To put it mildly, this is to boost the morale of the army and is very beneficial to the combat effectiveness of the army, so the leading generals often don't mind too much.

Liu Rengui is determined to punish Li Ji. This kind of person is either a bad person or an upright Madonna of the White Lotus.

Li Ji showed resentment after he finished speaking, obviously after so many years, Li Ji was still angry, which shows how much Liu Rengui's impeachment made his life worse than death.

"Grandpa, don't worry, if grandson meets Liu Rengui, he will help grandpa to avenge his past, and grandson will give him sweat medicine..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked hard by Li Ji.

"You bastard! When the two armies are at war, it's a matter of life and death. Can you mess around? When you meet Liu Rengui, don't go out with him in private. You must not murder the general, or the old man will not spare you!" Li Ji shouted sternly.

Look at these three views, how upright they are, worthy of the meritorious service of the famous generals of the Three Dynasties.

"Grandpa, grandson knows his mistake, grandson corrects his statement, and after Master Wang wins and the overall situation is settled, grandson will give him the perspiration medicine..."

Li Ji didn't lose his temper, but stroked his beard slowly, closed his eyes and remained silent, as if dozing off.

Seeing Li Ji's reaction like this, Li Qinzai was stunned.

Is this... tacit approval?

Li Qinzai clicked his tongue, it seems that Liu Rengui really disgusted Li Ji, otherwise he would not acquiesce in Li Ji's behavior.

So Li Qinzai silently calculated.

For this expedition, in addition to gunpowder, Mongolian sweat medicine should also be prepared more.

Anyway, they are all medicines, and they are all for the purpose of curing diseases and saving lives.

…………

Datang Long Shuo two years.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, on the day of the Lantern Festival, the camp in the northern suburbs of Chang’an was rumbling with drums. Ten thousand soldiers were in order.

They will board a boat from Dengzhou and go to sea, cross the Bohai Sea, and arrive at Baijiangkou in Baekje.

The expedition ceremony was very low-key. This time, it was a hasty recruitment and dispatch of troops. The commander of the army, Sun Renshi, was still commanding the navy on a warship in the Bohai Sea.

So the team starting from Chang'an actually has no coach. To be precise, they are a support soldier.

Li Qinzai was wearing full body armor, and the heavy armor made it difficult for him to walk.

After the army set off, he stayed at the rear of the team and set off together with the transport army escorting food, grass and military equipment.

This is the duty of the marching commander Shi. In this army escorting the luggage, Li Qinzai not only has the highest official position, but also the only one with a title.

Facing the morning sun, Li Qinzai embarked on the journey in armor with the concerns of his relatives and lovers.
