Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 928 The Idiot General Appears!

Chapter 928 The Idiot General Appears!
The sudden arrival of empress changsun disturbed the emperor and his son. There was a question about the selection of generals for the conquest of Gaochang, but one thing was already very clear, that is, he definitely had no part in the battle of Gaochang.

The emperor's "good deed" was delayed by Gao Chang, so he deliberately dragged himself into the water because of his narrow-mindedness, and played this game with his son, and Li Chengqian was really convinced.

Since there is nothing to be done, Li Chengqian will not worry about it anymore, and wait until the next day's court meeting. As long as the candidate is right, so what if he let the virtuous, anyway, those old guys are going crazy in Chang'an City, so they should be let out Let off steam.

No, just one day later, the emperor ordered his ministers to recommend candidates for the Gaochang campaign. Seeing that the prince's holy intentions were not on him, all the ministers were eager to try, vying to recommend someone with good friendship as the marching chief, and even Some civil servants who are proficient in martial arts also want to show their skills.

Of course, there is a reason why everyone’s emotions are so high. The Tang Dynasty’s national power is strong, and the army is well-equipped and well-trained. Since the Northern Expedition, they have been invincible. , cleaned everything up.

Gaochang is relatively powerful among the countries in the Western Regions, but compared with the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, he is like a child who has not yet arrived in March. As long as he has some experience in leading troops, anyone who leads an army can easily catch them.

Military merit is the most important basis for the promotion of official positions and titles. Anyone who can get a little bit of military merit will be sent back to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials. No one knows that Li Shimin, the emperor on horseback, is the favorite general.

The courtiers like Ma Zhou and Dou Kuan, who rose up after Zhenguan, more or less got a bit of military merit, lived in eight houses, opened government offices and built mansions!It doesn't matter what the emperor said, the candidates for the recommendation suddenly became varied, and the three yamen of Shang Shu Sheng, Zhong Shu Sheng, and the Ministry of War all got dizzy after seeing these recommendation seals.

East Palace - Mingde Hall, Li Chengqian who was reviewing this chapter heard that Hou Junji and Xie Yingdeng came together, he couldn't help laughing, and thought to himself: These two can't hold back anymore, knowing that there is little hope in the pavilion , I came here specially to intercede.

After calling the two of them to sit down, he specially asked Heng to serve two pots of herbal tea. At this time, the two generals were very angry. If they didn't drink something cold, they really couldn't suppress the rising flames in their hearts. Li Chengqian was in the army. After fighting for so many years, he knows the temper of the generals too well.

Wen Zhan is delighted, and when they see a battle, they scratch their hearts, like grass growing. It is not easy for them to watch the excitement in the pavilion for a day, so they must calm down first, and then talk about seriousness thing.

"Both of you, the day is coming to an end. You are still here in the East Palace because of the Battle of Gaochang, right? I want Gu to recommend you to lead the battle?" After putting down the teacup, Li Chengqian looked at him with a smile on his lips. Two generals.

Hehe, "Your Highness, I can't hide this thought from your Highness. Your Highness is right. I and Lu Guogong came here for this matter. Gaochang is located in the throat of the Western Regions and controls the Silk Road. I have the audacity to do so." Begging for war, there is both a public heart and a selfish heart!"

Xie Yingdeng was the first batch of generals in the sixth rank of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and now he took over the official position of Qin Qiong and became the general of Zuo Wuwei. The right to speak is more important, so he opened his mouth to answer first.

"Your Highness, you know that the old minister is used to waiting on horseback. The benches in this yamen are really cramped. After finally encountering a war, I just want to go out to fight. The old minister and Ying Deng go Fighting, it's better than the money bag they recommend!"

Hou Junji is an outspoken person, so he doesn't have to pay so much attention to Li Chengqian's words. He has a lot of opinions on the matter of recommending generals to go to war this time. He wants to go to all kinds of cats and dogs. He took the life of me, a soldier in the Tang army, as a reward for promotion, right? .

The army has always paid attention to seniority, no matter how big the benefits are, they have to do what they can. Idiot generals like Qian Jiulong want to rely on the so-called popularity to lead the title of chief of the army. It was right for him to be kicked out of Beijing.

"What? Duke Chao also wants to be in command?" Li Chengqian asked with raised brows.

"Isn't that right? The story of Gaochang is full of rumors. The court council has not yet appointed a leading general. Many people in the court have grown grass in their hearts. The minister and Lu Guogong originally thought that His Highness was in command, but it was only a day. Change, His Majesty ordered the selection of generals, ministers are superficial, not as open-minded as Yi Guogong and others, so I have the audacity to come to His Highness."

There is nothing wrong with Xie Yingdeng's words. If the crown prince is in command, they, the courtiers, naturally have to abide by the way of being a courtier; but since the crown prince will not go out this time, why can't they come out and fight for it? Hou Junji is right, what they did It's better than that straw bag!

"Nonsense! He used to be a character who fought with the wind and waved the flag in the army. If he hadn't had a personal relationship with Emperor Taiwu and participated in the First Uprising of Taiyuan, would it be his turn to be the duke of the country?

Your Highness, it's not that the old officials have committed villainy. This military affairs should not be underestimated. Be cautious, otherwise there will be a saying that one general will be incompetent and exhaust the three armies to death! "

What Hou Junji was talking about was Qian Jiulong, but he did mean it in a point-and-point manner. Li Chengqian also agreed very much. Such things as cubs who don't care about Tian's heart can't happen in the Tang army, otherwise they would be irresponsible for the lives of the soldiers. .

"Okay, take the weight of the three armies and throw them into dangerous places. It's the job of a general. It's true that you can't be sloppy or joking about appointing the chief of the army. In this way, I will obey your invitation. Lu Guogong will be the commander. As the deputy commander, this chapter will be sent directly to the Xuanzheng Hall today. As long as the court meeting is passed, the two of you can take office immediately, what do you think?"

Li Chengqian said this to Xie Yingdeng, no matter what, his seniority in the Tang army was not comparable to that of Hou Junji, and in the emperor's heart, he was not as important as him.He is not the emperor yet, so he can't put him in front of Hou Junji, so he can only fight for the position of deputy commander in chief!
"Your Highness, Lord Lu Guo is the head of the army, the minister of the Ministry of War, and the immediate superior of the minister. I am willing to serve him as a lieutenant general and go to Gaochang. I will never let your highness down." Xie Yingdeng, who is proficient in accidents, hurriedly got up to save him replied.

"Your Highness, as long as there is a battle, it doesn't matter whoever is the commander in chief. The old minister and Ying Deng have been brothers for decades. Let's discuss whether it's true or not. Don't worry, Your Highness, the old minister promises to defeat Gaochang in one battle and capture him alive." Qu Zhisheng is dedicated to the Taimiao!".
