The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1759
The servants in the Xuanzheng Hall carried the map to the center of the hall and spread it on the ground. Li Chengqian stood up from his seat, walked down, and stepped on the map. The map was large enough to almost cover the center of the hall where the courtiers sat in the Xuanzheng Hall. The ground is all covered.

"According to what Xuanqing said, there are [-] sailors on Xiongjin's side, plus the original [-] soldiers and horses of the Xiongjin Protectorate, and the imperial court can send [-] soldiers to Xiongjin's side. That's right. Is it?" Li Chengqian said, walking to the position of Xiongjin on the map, but looking at Xuan Shijing.

"That's right." Xuan Shijing said.

"Then, in the middle, that is, at the front of Guanzhong facing the grassland, Anbei Protectorate, the imperial court sent an additional [-] troops to Anbei. Combined with the existing troops that can be summoned by Anbei Protectorate, it is nearly able to Make up one hundred thousand soldiers and horses." Li Chengqian said.

This is the advantage of the military system of the Tang Dynasty. In peacetime, it is for the people. In wartime, as long as the imperial court writes an edict, put on armor and take up weapons, they are soldiers.

"One hundred thousand soldiers guarding the northern grasslands, isn't it a bit of a big deal?" Cui Renshi said.

"Not really." Li Jing said: "One hundred thousand troops are stationed in Anbei to protect the blessings. It is still necessary to guard against the grasslands. Datang has dealt with the tribes on the grasslands for so many years. The temperament of the tribes on the grasslands has also been touched. Let's get it right. Everyone has heard of and understood what they are like when they start a war. Moreover, the [-] troops of the Anbei Governor's Mansion, to put it bluntly, no matter whether it is a war in the east or a war in the west. In the war, once there is any loophole, you can rush to it at any time when you receive news."

It's just that the distance is a bit far away, but the momentum created can definitely scare people.

"The pharmacist is right." Li Ji said, "I think that Duke Xuan's idea of ​​stationing troops in Anbei Dufu Mansion is very good and necessary."

The two big men present in the army support Xuan Shijing's statement. As for Cheng Chumo and Li Ke, their seniority in the army is no better than that of Li Jing and Li Ke. Li Chengqian didn't ask them, so they can only be honest. Listen to the people talking.

"Then who should be sent to guard the Anbei Protectorate?" Changsun Wuji said.

Having said so much, in the final analysis, manpower is the most important thing.

When Changsun Wuji mentioned this topic, Li Ke and Cheng Chumo looked at Xuan Shijing in unison.

Xuan Shijing participated in this matter, but so far, he has not arranged any errands for Xuan Shijing. From their point of view, if the manpower for the east and west battlefields has been determined, then An On the Beidu Protectorate's side, Xuan Shijing went there, which couldn't be more suitable.

Cheng Chumo and Li Ke also hoped that Xuan Shijing could go to the Anbei Protectorate, so that they could feel more at ease in the east, at least they would not have to worry about any moths on the grassland.

What Li Jing said is correct, the younger generation of those tribes on the prairie can see clearly what kind of piss they are, just like the grass on the prairie, where the wind blows, they will fall to that side, Not to mention, I will kick you again in reverse, do you think this is hateful or not?
What's even more hateful is that for the sake of reputation, Datang can't do too much to them. Otherwise, the small countries in the four directions will not trust Datang, and there will be wars of all sizes around Datang.

Datang is really too big. Because of its large territory, it borders many countries. If the countries around Datang always come to make trouble for Datang, if they keep fighting, no matter how strong Datang is, they cannot stand the turn Fighting wars, so we can only tolerate these fools as much as possible, and then see the opportunity to turn them into the next Gaochang, or the next Goguryeo.

disobedient?Overdoing it?Want to be a dad in turn?Kill you duck, make you disobedient!
Take a look around Datang, which country has never made a second or fifth boy.

After raising the issue of garrisoning troops in the Anbei Protectorate, many people present were also thinking about the manpower issue. Of course, they hoped that their own people could sit in this seat. The chances are small. Secondly, even if there is a real fight, the army on the grassland going south is unlikely to exceed [-], and [-] to [-] will break the sky. Once it exceeds [-], it will declare war on Datang , The kind of war that destroys the country, the kind that never ends.In addition, even if there is a loophole in the east and west, it is not difficult for the soldiers and horses of the Anbei Protectorate to go there and lead the troops to fight a battle.

So the Anbei Protectorate's side, although it has been included in the ranks of the war, is the safest and most secure position. After such a trip, the seniority will be gained, and there may be a lot of military merits.

Now if you want to be enshrined in Datang, apart from hereditary inheritance, or if you really have made great contributions to Datang, you can only take the road of military merit.

Therefore, there were not a few people present who were staring at this seat on the side of the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion.

"What's your opinion?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian also wanted Xuan Shijing to go to the Anbei Protectorate in his heart, but he couldn't say it directly.

"This"

"Huh?" Li Chengqian glanced at the crowd, and then said: "There are no candidates to propose? In this case, since the battlefield in the east is very important for Datang's war this time, let's listen to General Cheng and the third brother. What do you think, General Cheng?"

"Returning to Your Highness, I feel that if the Anbei Protectorate is concerned, I recommend Xuangong." Cheng Chumo said.

Since Li Chengqian gave him a chance and he said so, he naturally wanted to recommend Xuan Shijing.

"Oh? Why?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The former Goguryeo was led by Duke Xuan, who led the Liaodong army to defeat it. He has enough understanding of the battlefield in the east. In addition, when I was stationed in Longxi in the early years, Xuangong was also in Longxi. Having fought side by side with my minister, it can be said that Duke Xuan knows everything about the east and west, so it is most suitable to arrange it in the Anbei Protectorate."

Everyone present couldn't refute the reason Cheng Chumo said. Xuan Shijing stayed in Longxi for ten years in his early years, so how could he not understand Longxi and Tubo?Besides, in the east, Xuan Shijing led troops to destroy half of the territory of the current Xiongjin Duhufu. Can you not understand?
It is precisely because both the east and the west understand, so it is more in line with the significance of the existence of the Anbei Protectorate for this war, that is, both sides can support and both sides can see.

Although the main purpose is to guard against the grasslands, the focus of the war is still on the east and west, isn't it?
