The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 796 Vanguard Army

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard, stretched out his other hand, lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked outside, and saw Xuan Shijing leading three hundred soldiers leading the horses on foot, and those mansions There are also some so-called "sandbags" on the soldiers' legs.

"I have to say that this kid has a good brain since he was a child. He said that the sandbags are tied to the legs of those soldiers. He can walk like ordinary people with these sandbags on his legs on weekdays. When the sandbags are taken off, Aren't the legs going to walk like flying?" His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "It's rare for him to come up with such a method, Deyi, you said that if in the future, the daily training of the Xuanjia Army is handed over to Jing'er, a year later , what changes will happen to the Xuanjia Army?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Deyi and asked.

"Your Majesty, I really don't dare to guess how it will change, but the Xuanjia Army is already the elite among the elites of the Tang Dynasty even now. If they are allowed to train according to Dongshanhou's method, there will definitely be progress, but not It will be as obvious as the Fubing in Dongshan County, the training of the Xuanjia Army is nothing more than a hundred-foot clubhead, and it's just a step further." Deyi responded.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "That's true. At the level of the Xuanjia Army, we can go a step further. Such a change is also very exciting."

Deyi didn't go to answer His Majesty Li Er's words, thinking in his heart, could it be that His Majesty didn't hear Xuan Hou say the cost of training such a team yesterday?That's all three hundred government soldiers, the number is not too big, but the Xuanjia army is different. Can the three hundred government soldiers compare with the Xuanjia army?The Xuanjia army is only in terms of quantity, and training with Xuanhou's method, the expenditure can drive the household department and the military department crazy.

Moreover, not everyone in the court hoped that Tang's army would become stronger and stronger. This involved the aristocratic family. How would His Majesty deal with these side issues involved?

The army continued to advance all the way, and Xuan Shijing did not give up the training of the soldiers, but Xuan Shijing felt that walking with the army in this way would not have a strong training intensity for the soldiers at all, and would have no effect at all.

On the third day after the army set off, there was a report from Liaodong, and His Majesty Li Er raised his tent that night while on the way, and Xuan Shijing was among them.

"Dear dear friends, this afternoon, a report came from Liaodong. Now the situation in Goguryeo is clear. Gao Jianwu lost to Quan Gai Suwen and has been killed. Now all the political affairs of Goguryeo are controlled by Quan Gai Suwen. What do you all think?" His Majesty Li Er scanned the crowd.

"Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji stood up, cupped his hands and said to His Majesty Li Er: "This is good news for us. Goguryeo was the King Rongliu who was proclaimed by His Majesty, and now he died in the hands of Quangai Suwen. Quan Gai Suwen will not be able to escape the crime of murdering the lord no matter what, and Gao Jianwu's son Gao Huanquan is in our hands, so we can rely on righteousness to directly attack Goguryeo and seek justice for Gao Huanquan. After all, Gao Huanquan is also there. Chang'an has had a lot of time."

Changsun Wuji's words are high-sounding enough. This time the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Goguryeo. No matter who wins or loses in the civil strife in Goguryeo, it is imperative. But now, when you fall asleep, someone will give you a pillow, Quan Gaisu Wen's killing of Gao Jianwu gave Tang Jun a banner of righteousness.

"What the auxiliary machine said is that, in this way, starting tomorrow, the army will speed up and strive to reach Liaodong as soon as possible. Now that Gao Jianwu is dead, the country of Goguryeo will definitely be in chaos. If the army goes to attack Goguryeo again, it will be twice the result with half the effort." His Majesty Li Er laughed. Said: "Jiangxia County King." His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Daozong.

"The minister is here." Li Daozong stood up in military uniform.

"I ordered you to be the vanguard and lead five thousand soldiers to rush to Liaodong immediately. Once there, cooperate with Liu Hongji to attack Goguryeo and open the way for the army." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Yes, I obey the order!" Li Daozong clapped his hands in response.

"Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing stood up, cupped his hands to His Majesty Li Er and said, "I would like to lead three hundred soldiers under my command to go to Liaodong with King Jiangxia County. Please allow me!"

It is a good opportunity to be a vanguard. Xuan Shijing has few people in his hands now, only 300 people. If he stays in the army, he might as well march to Liaodong with Li Daozong as a vanguard. Moreover, now he is advancing with the army. For the soldiers below, it was too much of a waste of time.

The equipment, supplies and supplies of the three hundred soldiers have already been prepared in Liaodong, and some other things were transported from Chang'an to Liaodong when the three hundred soldiers had just formed an army. Now, as a vanguard army, they can just Come in handy.

"Jing'er, don't mess around, do you know what the duty of the vanguard is? You only have 300 people under your command." His Majesty Li Er tried to persuade Xuan Shijing, but was interrupted by Xuan Shijing.

"Your Majesty, I know what you said. The three hundred soldiers were brought out by me alone. I know what position to put them in is the most suitable place. I beg your majesty to fulfill my request. As for the three hundred soldiers The supplies for the soldiers, I have already arranged them properly." Xuan Shijing said confidently.

"You arrange?" His Majesty Li Er asked curiously: "How do you arrange it? It's not unusual to do things in the military, so don't mess around."

"Your Majesty is not messing around. I still have some things that I gave to Your Majesty. I still have some in my hand, and I have already sent them all to Pingzhou. As a vanguard army attacking Goguryeo, those things can just come in handy, and it can also save Jiangxia County King some energy. After all, if the vanguard army of the army confronts the enemy head-on, the damage will not be small. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were completely damaged in this way." Xuan Shijing said.

"Is Xuanhou so confident? If that's the case, Your Majesty, it's not a bad idea for Xuanhou to follow his ministers as the vanguard." Li Daozong cupped his hands and said.

Although I don't know what Xuan Shijing is talking about, Li Daozong is almost certain that Xuan Shijing has gunpowder in his hands, because before the army marched, the only good thing Xuan Shijing gave to His Majesty Li Er was The gunpowder is gone, that thing is powerful, Li Daozong has also seen it in the hunting ground.

His Majesty Li Er listened to Xuan Shijing's words, stroked his beard and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"Forget it, this time, I agree with you, Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing listens!" His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing.

"The minister is here!" Xuan Shijing looked serious, took a step forward, and bowed his hands in salute.

"I ordered you to go to Liaodong together with King Jiangxia as the vanguard. Everything on the way must be arranged by King Jiangxia, and you must not act without authorization."

"I obey the order!" Xuan Shijing responded.
