Chapter 711 Chapter 730: Sending troops to Tubo
Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Changsun Wuji suddenly said loudly: "You are only [-]% sure, and you dare to threaten to send troops to Tubo. Do you know how much effort the imperial court spent in forming the Qinghai Guard? They are all the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. If you lose, even if you lose all your property, you can't afford it!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "This king knows better than you how important the Qinghai Guard is. I have more say than you in matters in the military. Don't worry, this king said that he is [-]% sure of defeating Tubo, but there is still I'm [-]% sure that it's a draw, and I don't know how to write the word defeat."

The ministers were once again in an uproar when they heard the words, even Changsun Wuji's expression changed drastically, he stared at Li Hao with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "How dare you boast so much, well, what if you return after losing the battle!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "If I am defeated and return, I will live in a corner of Qiongnan in this life and never return to Chang'an."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole room was silent, and a needle could be heard. Everyone's face showed shock. Li Zhi wanted to dissuade him, but he knew Li Hao's temper, and it was useless to persuade him. Li Shimin wanted it too. To dissuade, due to the status of the emperor, I can't say much.

Others also persuaded, such as Di Renjie, Ma Zhou, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, etc., but Changsun Wuji didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and said loudly: "Okay! Everyone heard it, the general of Tiance's mansion Li Hao has made such an oath, please be your witnesses, the emperor and the crown prince will also witness together, if Li Hao returns after defeat, he will live in Qiongnan for the rest of his life and never return to Chang'an!"

At this time, a voice in the crowd suddenly asked: "Then how do you count as defeat?"

These words immediately aroused discussion among the people, yes, what counts as a fiasco, this issue has to be discussed, otherwise it will be up to them at that time, there is no standard, isn't this bet like a joke.

In order to protect Li Hao, Li Zhi said: "Since ancient times, it is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city. Li Hao is the attacker, so this battle is naturally difficult. I propose that if the number of Li Hao's kills is higher than the number of self-inflicted losses, it will not be considered a defeat. "

"His Royal Highness, what you said is wrong!" Changsun Wuji said loudly, "My Tang army is invincible in the world, and Qinghaiwei is an elite teacher carefully cultivated by my Tang. In other words, how can it be said that.”

Being choked by Changsun Wuji, Li Zhi was speechless, and Li Shimin asked, "What do you think the auxiliary machine will be considered a failure?"

Changsun Wuji said: "If the number of kills is less than three times the number of self-injury, it will be considered a defeat."

The whole hall was silent again. The standard Changsun Wuji said was really a bit high. Even if the Tang army was elite, it was really difficult to achieve such a record.

Li Shimin also felt that the standard was set a bit high, so he frowned and asked Li Hao: "Poetry man, what do you think?"

Li Hao nodded and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I accept it, but the candidates for the marching generals must be selected by the minister!"

"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded, "Who do you want to choose to accompany you to conquer Tubo?"

Li Haodao: "I want to choose Fan Lihua as the deputy commander of the march, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, and Cheng Chubi as the commanders of the off-road march, and Qinghai Wei General Peng Hai and Dali Temple Minister Di Renjie to supervise the transportation of grain and grass."

The previous ones were fine, but when Di Renjie was mentioned, everyone's expressions lit up instantly, and Di Renjie also looked confused. He had never fought a war, so why did they choose him too.

Li Shimin was surprised and said: "Di Renjie is the secretary of the Dali Temple, and he doesn't know anything about military affairs. How can he be asked to supervise the transportation of grain and grass?"

Li Haodao: "Your Majesty, since Di Renjie has the title of Wu San, he can be regarded as a military commander. It is all right to let him supervise the transportation of food and grass. Besides, with Peng Hai by his side, there will be no loss."

Seeing his insistence, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, I agree with all of this."

Xue Rengui winked anxiously at Li Hao, he also wanted to go, after all, Li Hao is his good brother, he also wanted to help Li Hao, but Li Hao just did not choose him, after all, Xue Rengui was defeated by Garqin Mausoleum in history In his hand, he was afraid of the inertia of history, so he met the fate, so he didn't let Xue Rengui go, but picked Fan Lihua, in terms of strength, Fan Lihua would never lose to Xue Rengui.

At this time, Changsun Wuji suddenly said: "Since Li Hao has chosen the general he likes, Your Majesty, let me recommend a supervisor of the Chinese Army, so as not to let someone falsely report the battle situation."

Li Shimin asked casually: "Who do you recommend for the auxiliary machine?"

Changsun Wuji said: "I recommend Xu Jingzong, Minister of Rites."

When Li Hao heard Xu Jingzong's name, he immediately frowned. This person is still somewhat famous in history, but this reputation is not a good one. This person's official career was bumpy in the first half of his life, but later because he supported Liwu Mei Niang as the queen, his official career was prosperous. , the last extremely human minister, to put it bluntly, is Wu Meiniang's minion.

"Where is Xu Jingzong?" Li Shimin called out, and a middle-aged man with gray temples walked out from behind the civil servants. Does not look old, not even many wrinkles on the face.

This Xu Jingzong really has a good face, people will have a sense of intimacy after seeing it, it can be seen that he should be a rare handsome man when he was young, and he was the kind that kills both men and women.

Xu Jingzong went out to salute: "My humble minister Xu Jingzong is here!"

Xu Jingzong's official position is too low, and he can only participate in the Great Court Meeting. He is absolutely not qualified to participate in the Small Court Meeting. Li Hao has not participated in many court meetings, and even less, so today is the first time to meet Xu Jingzong. Jingzong.

"You are Xu Jingzong." Li Shimin sized him up and nodded, obviously satisfied with Xu Jingzong's performance.

Li Shimin originally thought that Changsun Wuji would send an important official in the court to supervise the army, to add to Li Hao's obstacles, but he didn't expect to send a small servant of the Ministry of Rites. He thought that Xu Jingzong was quite decent, and his official position was not high. , should not cause any trouble to Li Hao, so he asked the others: "The auxiliary machine recommended Xu Jingzong to be the supervisor of the Chinese army, do you have any objections?"

All the officials didn't say anything, they thought the same as Li Shimin, they all thought that Xu Jingzong was quite decent, but they were confused by Xu Jingzong's appearance, Xu Jingzong's appearance was really good.

In fact, Li Hao didn't like Xu Jingzong's role as the supervisor, but he didn't object, because the supervisor was to supervise the chief commander of the marching army, so as to prevent the self-respect of the soldiers from happening. Today, he managed to get the opportunity to send troops. If he objects at this moment Xu Jingzong was in charge of the army, and Changsun Wuji would definitely make use of the issue, saying that he was harboring evil intentions or something, and there might be some misfortune at that time.

Seeing that no one objected, Li Shimin said: "Okay, since all the ministers have no objection, then the Central Military Supervision Army will make Xu Jingzong!"

Next, the monarchs and ministers began to discuss the detailed troop plan, and finally decided Li Hao to be the general manager of the Luoxie Dao march, Fan Lihua to be the deputy chief of the Luoxie Dao march, Qin Huaiyu to be the general manager of the Pibodao march, and Cheng Chuliang to be the commander of the Medog Dao The marching chief, Cheng Chubi, was the marching chief of Paro Road, Zhishenli was the general staff of the grain and grass transportation, Peng Hai joined the army as the grain and grass transportation, and Di Renjie joined the army as the grain and grass transportation deputy.

This time the great court will last until noon.

After leaving the Zhuque Gate, Li Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it was not easy to win the dispatch of troops. Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, and Qin Qiong called Li Hao outside the Zhuque Gate, and Li Hao turned to face them. Arched hands and saluted: "Three uncles."

"That's all, that's all." Cheng Yaojin waved his hands impatiently, and said with a bad face, "Boy, you really dare to fight, and you actually swear such an oath as your Highness."

"Yes." Li Ji said worriedly, "Poetry Maniac, I know you have a talent for strategy, but you also know that on the battlefield, information changes, and sometimes it takes a lot of luck to fight a battle. No matter how heroic a person is, if he has a great strategy, if he is unlucky, he will be helpless. It is already October, and it will soon be winter, and the winter in Tubo is extremely cold..."

"I know what you mean, Uncle Li." Li Hao nodded and said, "But Tubo will fight sooner or later. My Tang Dynasty has been passively defending. I haven't gone to the snow-covered plateau yet. As for the cold weather, don't be afraid, uncles. , Qinghai Wei has received cold-resistant training, and I will also prepare cold-resistant materials for Qinghai Wei."

Seeing what he said, Li Ji could only sigh helplessly, and his worry did not decrease but increased.

Although Qin Qiong was also worried about Li Hao, but he didn't think so much like Li Ji, he just patted Li Hao's shoulder hard and said: "Shi Kuang, if you come back from a big victory, uncle will serve wine to celebrate your victory, if you really agree After making the promise, uncle will accompany you to Qiongnan for retirement!"

Li Hao grinned when he heard this, and bowed his hands to them again: "Thank you uncle for your concern."

After a few more pleasantries, the three veterans announced their resignation and left. Di Renjie just came out of the Zhuque Gate. When he saw Li Hao, he walked towards this side. As soon as they met, Di Renjie smiled wryly and said, "Poetry madness, you have caused Di some misfortune." .”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, when did I hurt you?"

"I still said no." Di Renjie said, "There is a saying that the soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are moved. The food and grass of an army are very important. You asked me, who knows nothing, to supervise the transportation of food and grass. I really don't know what you think of."

Li Hao suddenly put away his smile, and said solemnly: "It is because the food and grass are extremely important that I let you supervise the transportation, because I can trust you."

Hearing this sentence, Di Renjie couldn't help but turn from smiling to serious. He could feel the sincerity of Li Hao's words. Li Hao trusted him, his character, and his ability.

"Huaiying, you will definitely not let me down, right?" Li Hao looked at him "hardly".

Di Renjie bowed his hands solemnly: "King Qiongnan, don't worry, Di Huaiying will definitely not let you down!"

Li Hao nodded in satisfaction, and said: "You and I have experienced the Battle of Youzhou together, and you already know something about the battlefield. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Qinghai Wei General Peng Hai, Peng Hai He is my good friend, he is very down-to-earth and easy to get along with.”

"Thank you King Qiongnan for your advice." Di Renjie smiled and cupped his hands, then suddenly changed his tone and asked, "My lord, I want to ask you, are you really only [-]% sure about conquering Tubo?"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "If I say I'm [-]% sure, would you believe me?"

Di Renjie said without hesitation: "Naturally!"

Li Hao grinned when he heard the words: "Don't be stupid, there is no such thing as a sure thing in the world, and there is no such thing as easy to fight, [-]% is already a lot of confidence, the Qinghai guards are too few, and it is about to enter the winter, the possibility of attacking Tubo It's not very sexual, I guess this time... It's just to teach them a lesson and let them taste what it's like to be violated!"
