Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 99

Li Jing loudly scolded Gao Zengsheng who was bound and kneeling at the bottom of the steps.

"Who gave you the courage to retreat without my commander's order. Do you still have this commander in your eyes? Is there still military law?"

"The last general didn't want to retreat, but the enemy's reinforcements arrived halfway through the battle. They counterattacked too fiercely, and the Huizhou army suffered as many as one-third of the casualties. I really couldn't stand it anymore."

After finishing speaking, Gao Zengsheng lowered his proud head. When had he been so embarrassing after many years of military service.

To be honest, he regretted it a little now, and he really should keep fighting. If he attacked, he wouldn't let Li Jing humiliate him like this in the big tent.

He doesn't even know the simple reason why soldiers are impermanent and water is impermanent.What kind of situation will not happen on the battlefield, are the enemies all fools waiting for you to attack?I really don't know how Gao Zengsheng survived till now.

"That's why you retreated. When you retreated, the enemy troops on Eyang Ridge took advantage of the gap to severely damage the Jinhe army. If they outflank it again, what will happen? Have you ever thought about it.

The tens of thousands of people on both sides are intertwined. If you say you don’t want to fight, you won’t fight?Someone, drag him down and chop him up. "

Hearing that Li Jing was going to kill him, Gao Zengsheng became anxious, broke away from the soldiers on both sides, and knelt forward a few steps.

He still poked his neck and said: "Marshal, the last general is an old general of the Qin Palace, even His Majesty here will show me a lenient relationship based on past affection."

After he said this, Li Jing was furious. Who doesn't know that there are many generals in the front line of Qin Palace in the cloud. You said that, didn't the emperor and those people oppress me, the chief executive?
In addition, Li Chengqian, the supervising army, if I don't kill you, how can I establish this military prestige, and how can I let these arrogant soldiers be banned.

"Now that you still dare to use your Majesty to suppress me, at the beginning of the war, my commander told you that if anyone among the generals shy away from the battle, I will kill him.

Didn't you hear it at the time? If you didn't kill you today, why would I command the 30 army? "

Hearing what Li Jing said, the former generals of the Qin Palace headed by Yuchi Jingde were all dumbfounded. They originally thought that the general was just trying to scare him.

Can you still kill His Majesty's favorite general because of such a trivial matter?Besides, this is too disrespectful to our brothers, and they winked at Yuchi Jingde one after another.

Their petty actions were all seen by Li Ji on one side. It seems that if the teacher wants to restrain the generals of the imperial family, he will really kill them.

"Commander, although Gao Zengsheng deserves to die, he himself was seriously injured. Isn't it a little unlucky to kill the general just after the start of the battle?

In the end, the general is willing to protect him once.Please be kind to the commander-in-chief, let's write down his head for the time being so that he can commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. "

As the leader of Qin Wangfu's front line in the cloud, if he didn't stand up to speak for Gao Zengsheng, he would be too sorry for their friendship of fighting side by side for more than ten years.

Then the generals standing on the right also seconded their opinions one after another, which formed a sharp contrast with Li Ji, Chai Shao and others standing on the left.

Seeing so many people begging for Gao Zengsheng to embarrass Li Jing, the supervisor Li Chengqian had no choice but to stand up.

If Li Jing's prestige is hit at this time, everyone can be exonerated by this in the future, so how will this battle be fought in the future.

"Your Majesty bestowed upon the Great General an axe during his obeisance to the general in Chang'an. No matter who violates the seventeen prohibitions, 54 beheaded, they will surely die.

However, I would like to ask the general to leave a whole body for the sake of Gao Zengsheng's many years of military exploits. I don't know what the general thinks? "

Li Chengqian's words set the tone for this matter, and Gao Zengsheng must die if he violated the military law.

Whether it's because of his duty to supervise the military law, or because of his majesty as a prince, as long as he speaks, the generals in the tent will not be able to speak again even if they want to say something.

Generally speaking, generals who committed capital crimes wanted their heads, but Gao Zengsheng had a lot of face and asked the prince to ask him to leave his whole body.

After drinking a bowl of Zhuangxing wine given by his old brother on the execution ground, under the watchful eyes of Yuchi Jingde and others, he committed suicide with his sword.

All the generals present knew that what Li Jing did was to kill the chicken for the monkeys to show off, and to use the steamer to build his prestige.But they have no way to let this old boy violate the military law.

But this incident also reminded them that they either died on the battlefield or died of military law.Anyway, there is an enemy but no self, and there is me as the enemy.

Li Chengqian, who had just had dinner, was invited over by Chief Manager Li Jing.The reason is that Li Chengqian spoke for himself in the tent during the day, allowing him to subdue them smoothly.

In fact, Li Chengqian himself knew that even without him, Li Jing would still be able to convince them, but with him, things would be smoother.

There were only Li Jing and Li Ji's master and apprentice in the commander's account, and Li Jing politely asked for his opinion on how to quickly conquer Eiyang Ridge.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian walked to the sand table and looked at the situation of the enemy and our armies marked on it. After a long while, he pointed out the place in the northwest of Eiyang Ridge to the two of them.

"As the general said, the only way to reverse the current passive situation is to win here, re-open the channel with our Dongxi Group, and then attack Dingxiang.

However, the terrain of Eyang Ridge is steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack.The strong attack will not only increase casualties in vain, but also make the main force of our army be surrounded by the Jieli Department at any time. "

Li Ji on the side couldn't help asking curiously, "Jian Jiangan?"

"Whether it's us or the enemy army is tired after fighting all day, and at night, whether it is sight or vigilance, the defenders on the mountain are definitely not as good as during the day."

"Taking advantage of the darkness to launch another feint attack on the enemy army, cover a movement to the cliff in the northwest of Eiyang Ridge, climb up at dawn, and then rush down condescendingly, which will definitely disrupt the enemy's position. At this time, the main force of the army launched an attack from the front It will work wonders.”

Hearing Li Chengqian's strange words, the two masters couldn't help but looked at each other.Originally, he wanted to be polite, but who knew that the prince would have comprehended the Qizheng way to such an extent.

"Those who make good use of soldiers are all correct, and all are strange, making the enemy unpredictable. Therefore, righteousness wins, and strangeness also wins. Those who regard strangeness as righteousness, if hostility is strange, I will attack them rightly; those who regard righteousness as strange, hostility will be righteous. , then I will strike it strangely.

In this way, "everything is upright, everything is strange, and the enemy is unpredictable. Your Highness's words just now can be said to be three-pointed about the way of Qizheng. The old minister admires it."

"Chengqian is a latecomer and has not learned much, and he is playing tricks in front of the general. But I have a small request from the palace. I don't know if the general can agree to it?"

Li Chengqian raised the conditions at this time to make the master confused, nodded and waited to see what he wanted.

"Chengqian was originally the eldest son of Prince Qin's mansion, and Gao Zengsheng is also an old man. Today, he violated the military law and deserves to die. It doesn't matter if he loses face, but His Majesty's face cannot be lost.

This time, Bengong brought three thousand elite soldiers, all of them were elite soldiers who fought hundreds of battles, and many of them had fought bloody battles with Bengong at the Iron Gate Pass.So please, General, hand over the task of sneak attack to my subordinates. "

After speaking, he gave Li Jing a military salute. Li Jing couldn't refuse this request. If he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to explain to Li Chengqian, even the old generals of Qin Palace outside the account.

The story is divided into two parts, the Hongwen Hall in Chang'an City is brightly lit, and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui have been going home since the start of the war, running here every day to deal with incoming and outgoing military intelligence pond reports.

"Xuanling, Keming, it's so late, why don't you take a break, how can your body survive this?"

After giving the gift, Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the battle is approaching, and I can't let this old minister feel at ease."

"I am too. Seeing the strong wind outside, I couldn't help but think of checking here to see if there is any latest military news. Have the general and the crown prince arrived at the front line?"

"The river we crossed in the second day of junior high school should have reached the front line of the Hun River by now. I just don't know how the battle situation is at the front line." Du Ruhui, who was still playing the battle situation in front of the sand table, looked back and continued to stare at the sand table.

Then the three of them sat down in front of the sand table, staring at the confrontation between the two sides in the Yunzhong area.

"Only when he arrives can I rest assured. Cen Wenwen and the others recommend Yuchi Jingde as the deputy commander, and only you recommend Li Ji. Although I didn't listen to you, I still feel very nervous when I think about coming here."

Of course Li Shimin knew that Yuchi Jingde was a fierce Zhang Fei, so it goes without saying that he would charge into battle, but when it comes to commanding troops and marching for thousands of miles, he might not be ready for it.

But after all, Yuchi Jingde is an old general of the Qin Palace and he has been in trouble before, and Hulaoguan even saved his life.If the Xuanwu Sect didn't have him beheading Yuan Ji, I'm afraid his own life would be much worse.

Later, he also forced Li Yuan to make him the prince on the lake, so he was listed as a first-class hero like Changsun Wuji when discussing merit.If the deputy commander-in-chief didn't give it to him because of emotion and reason, it would have chilled his heart.

You must know that in the current Tang army, he is a character who promises everything. Building a good relationship now is extremely important for Li Ke's future.Cen Wenwen and the others also happened to see this, so they sold Yuchi Jingde as good.

"On the issue of using Yuchi Jingde as the deputy commander, the main concern of His Majesty and the important ministers is that there are too many veterans on the front line in Yunzhong, and Li Ji is too young. I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public with his words. Before the war starts, go to the internal friction , I think this concern is justified."

Seeing that the emperor regretted it, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sighed in his heart, but he still had to say words of relief, if Li Shimin wanted to fight at this time, his determination would be broken.

"I don't need to worry about the rest. The only thing I can't let go of is the Evil Yang Ridge. This is the only passage for our army's east and west groups. Once something happens here, it will be shocking. But for our army, Xieli is a place that must be attacked and defended." .”

"It's not that there are capable people on the grassland. I heard that after Colum's death, his younger brother Ashi Nasimo took over the position of the former army commander. If the minister is Ashi Nasimo, he will attack here first. It is used to hold back the advance of our army, so we can fight whatever we want.”

Hearing Du Ruhui's worry, the two monarchs and ministers stepped forward to look at it for a while and then nodded.
