Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 242
And Li Tai watched Fang Xuanling leave, and immediately called Peacock over, asking Peacock to help him prepare all the supplies first.

As for notifying Lu Cai and the others, Li Tai held his temper and did not summon them to the Palace of Prince Yan hastily.

After all, from Li Tai's point of view, Fang Xuanling has a guarantee for this matter, but as long as Li Shimin's will is not really implemented, there will be variables.

There is no need for me to make a big fuss, otherwise what if Fang Xuanling doesn't get things done.

Therefore, let the unofficial peacock come to Yanwang Mansion, and let her step up the preparation and purchase of chicken bricks, sugar cube bricks, salt and vinegar cloth, and cotton clothes.

As for the reason, it was naturally prepared for the medical battalion. After all, this time the Tuyuhun was going to be conquered, and the medical battalion would definitely go with the army, so it was normal to prepare more for the medical battalion.

In fact, compared with the 500-person medical camp led by Liu Shenwei at the beginning, the number of people in the truly organized medical camp has gradually increased to about 1000 people.

Those recruits from the medical battalion who went to the battlefield at the beginning have become relatively skilled doctors after more than four years of training.

At the same time, the imperial court issued a call-up order and began to call them from the hospital to Gaoling.

Fortunately, there is a canal through the Weishui River. Within a month, most of the doctors who want to come and scatter in Guanzhong will be recruited, and they will set off with the army when they go out.

Compared with other soldiers, doctors need to prepare more medicinal materials and vehicles carrying medicinal materials in addition to the food that normal soldiers need.

At least until now, the medicine powder is the least volume-consuming way of medicinal materials, but even so, it is impossible for the doctor to carry all these medicine powders on his back, because the doctor needs to carry his own medical equipment, so he needs a vehicle to carry various medicines .

Compared with personnel scheduling, peacocks are responsible for the scheduling of materials, especially livestock such as donkeys and mules, as well as the grain of livestock. Peacocks must come forward to dispatch these materials first.

Although it is said that Li Tai will definitely pay the money, in the case that Li Tai has no way to come forward directly, in fact, the material dispatch speed of a businessman like Peacock is often faster than the official material dispatch speed of the imperial court.

There is no way, the boat is small and easy to turn around, and more importantly, there is no need for approval during this process.

And Li Tai consciously hoarded supplies in Luoyang, and now he needs to let Peacock dispatch them, at least before Li Jing officially sends troops, he can fully dispatch them.

Fang Xuanling's arrival was just to make Li Tai prepare to dispatch the supplies from Youzhou to Chang'an.

In fact, Li Tai's worries were unnecessary, and Li Shimin's will came down soon.

"The right servant shoots Li Jing as the general manager of the Xikaidao march, commander of the Ministry of War, Hou Junji, the general manager of the Jishi Road march, Ren Chengwang, the Minister of the Criminal Ministry, Li Daozong, the general manager of the Shanshan Road march, Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou and the chief marcher of the Mo Road, and the governor of Minzhou. , Li Daoyan, the chief of the Chishui Road march, Gao Zengsheng, the chief of the Yanze Road march in Lizhou, and the Turks and Qibi Heli who returned to the Tang Dynasty attacked Tuyuhun."

As for Li Tai, Li Shimin did not directly follow Fang Xuanling's recommendation of a food supervisor, but was directly assigned to Li Jing's subordinates, and gave Li Tai the title of Captain Zhechong, which made Li Tai stunned.

"Aye, is this asking me to go directly to the battlefield?" Li Tai was full of confusion, "Could it be that you want me to die?!"

If it was a child from any other aristocratic family, he would be ecstatic to go to the battlefield, thinking that it was a meritorious service waiting to be earned by himself.

But Li Tai knew himself, and he had absolute confidence in defending the city by himself, at least he could not surrender.

But let yourself fight sports, save yourself, the only advantage of yourself on the battlefield, maybe you have self-knowledge!
"And why is it Captain Zhechong? Do I have soldiers under my command? Why don't I know?" Li Tai was a little dazed.

Just when Li Tai was full of doubts, Li Jing was actually more doubtful than Li Tai.

Li Jing saw that Li Shimin actually put Li Tai under his command, and gave Li Tai the right to lead the army alone, Li Jing was really upset.

It's not that the army didn't have any weaknesses, but it turned out that the army had a weakness.

It's fine for King Yan to join the army. Wouldn't it be good to give him a civil servant in charge of food and grass?

Why give Li Tai such an official position as a military officer, and lead an army alone, what is the saint going to do?Is it to increase the difficulty of conquering Tuyuhun?

Therefore, as soon as Li Jing received the order, he immediately went to find Li Shimin.

In any case, Li Jing wanted to go to Li Shimin to hear what Li Shimin meant and why he made such an arrangement.

Facing Li Jing's request to see him, Li Shimin naturally did not stop him, or in other words, Li Shimin already knew that Li Jing was coming to ask for an explanation.

It's just that Li Jing was informed of the intention by directly issuing the will. One of the most important points is that Li Jing is too slippery.

As long as the facts are established first, although Li Jing will ask for an explanation, as long as the reason is acceptable, Li Jing will not refuse.

It has to be said that even if Li Jing bowed his head and did a little bit of wall-riding kung fu, even if he couldn't compare with his military ability, it was still leveraged.

"Pharmacist, you're here!" Li Shimin watched Li Jing arrive with a calm expression on his face.

"I've met a saint!" Li Jing came to Li Shimin's side and saluted,
"I have doubts about the generals who accompanied the army this time, but I don't know if there are any discrepancies in the instructions issued by the Ministry of Education?"

"You mean the Qingque thing!" Li Shimin heard what Li Jing said, and immediately knew what Li Jing was referring to.

Li Shimin said calmly, "It's normal for you to have such doubts. Letting Qingque go out with the army this time is something that Xuanling and I have considered together. Otherwise, my decree will not pass the door."

Hearing this, Li Jing came to his senses, and it was not Li Shimin's random decision to let King Yan follow him to attack Tuyuhun, but a decision made after the entire court discussed together.

This matter is not complicated, because Li Shimin needs to build a stage for Li Chengqian with only Li Chengqian as an actor.

It’s fine if Li Tai is in the local area, but now that Li Chengqian is going to sing, if Li Tai makes one plan and another, it will be inconvenient for Li Chengqian to perform.

What the imperial court needs is to give Li Chengqian a stage to perform perfectly. Even if Li Chengqian has only five points of ability, but relying on the overall construction of the stage, he must accumulate seven or eight points.

So as long as this is figured out, under the guidance of Fang Xuanling, the entire court will agree to let Li Tai follow Li Jing to fight Tuyuhun.

Of course, the vast majority of people thought it would be good to give Li Tai a grain supervisor to ensure the transportation of grain.

In this position, not to mention any extraordinary performance, but as long as there are no mistakes, it is a performance of hard work.

But in the end Li Shimin thought twice and chose to give Li Tai a chance to lead the army under Li Jing.

Because Li Shimin needs to consider that although Li Tai has always been the county magistrate and governor, he has done a good job, but he is the highest logistics officer who directly asks Li Tai to supervise the entire logistics and food supply. Li Shimin is still a little worried.

Therefore, Li Tai was still placed under Li Jing's subordinates. After all, if the safest place in the entire military camp was to be next to Li Jing.

At the same time, with Li Jing's actual scheduling ability, he should be able to control Li Tai so that Li Tai will not move or move around!

This is why Li Shimin needs to meet Li Jing.

Li Shimin said, "There are three reasons why Qingque was dispatched to work under your command.

One is to inherit Qian, so that Cheng Qian can let go of his hands and feet and show his talent.

The second is to see the strength of Qingque, the militiamen who have been trained with the talent of the war department, and you need to judge the quality of this group of people.

As for the third, there are only your subordinates who can let Qingque show off his abilities, but they won't make Qingque's achievements hard to claim.

In contrast, if you let Qingque be the food supervisor, as long as you win the front line, the food supervisor will be the first-class meritorious service officer after all. "

Li Jing listened to Li Shimin's words, but he understood that the blame was finally on his own, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to, so he smiled wryly,
"I understand, I will definitely protect King Yan and not let him have any accidents on the battlefield.

But...if the King of Yan insists on going his own way and refuses to obey the military orders of his ministers, then does the minister have the right to enforce military laws against King Yan! "

"I will not teach you anything in King's Landing, Pharmacist, I trust your judgment on the battlefield!" Li Shimin said to Li Jing.

Li Jing couldn't help showing a wry smile when he heard Li Shimin's words.

Obviously, the sage has already said this, so he really has to obediently take the blame for the sage.

As for King Yan, I just hope that he can understand the general situation as he did when he handled internal affairs!
"I obey the order!" Li Shimin looked at Li Jing, but nodded, looking at Li Jing very happily.

I have to say that in Li Shimin's opinion, Li Jing is really a perfect general. He doesn't need to worry about foreign wars, and he doesn't need to doubt himself when dealing with internal affairs.

Aside from the fact that he was a black spot for reporting the Li family uprising during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and his hesitation during the Xuanwumen incident, at least when he was the emperor, Li Jing was a general who was very comfortable with him.

Li Jing saluted Li Shimin, knowing that this matter might not be changed.

That being the case, I have to go to the King of Yan first, and explain clearly the precautions for the march, especially the number of troops commanded by the King of Yan must be determined first.

Li Jing felt a little helpless, always feeling as if a pot of pot was suddenly smashed down by the clear sky!
"Crack!" In the East Palace at this time, Li Chengqian threw the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand to the ground. The surrounding servants and court ladies all knelt down in fright when they saw this scene, and some even persuaded, "Prince, calm down, calm down!" !"

"Get out! Get out, everyone!" Li Chengqian felt a burst of irritability when he looked at the kneeling maids.

And these maids and servants were naturally afraid to speak at this time. When they heard Li Chengqian telling them to get out, they were relieved, but they didn't even care about cleaning, and hurriedly retreated.

At this time, Xu Jingzong came in and looked at the teacup that fell on the ground, and said calmly, "Prince, why are you angry!"

"Yanzu, you are here!" Seeing Xu Jingzong, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, because since Xu Jingzong took refuge in him, Xu Jingzong's plan is still in place, so Li Chengqian also respects Xu Jingzong.

"You came just in time!" Li Chengqian complained to Xu Jingzong,

"The sage is really, actually let Li Tai lead the army to fight under Li Jing, and allowed him to conquer Tuyuhun.

If Qingque has made military exploits on the battlefield and established prestige in the army, how can this be done! "

"Prince, please don't worry!" Xu Jingzong heard Li Chengqian's words, but said to Li Chengqian,
"There is no point in making meritorious deeds on the battlefield, and it is all about fighting with one's life. If King Yan is allowed to lead the army independently, maybe it is really possible to make meritorious deeds.

But with Mr. Li's cautious temperament after sitting on the wall for so many years, he would never dare to use King Yan like this!
So under Mr. Li's command, King Yan might not make any meritorious deeds!This is just one of them. "

"Oh..." Li Chengqian became interested when he heard Xu Jingzong's words, "What else?"

"Secondly, your "Seed Project" must have come from the King of Yan. The sage let the King of Yan follow Li Jing to go to Tuyuhun to free up the stage for you to govern, otherwise the three provinces and six ministries would not have passed this order.

Obviously, the sage is still optimistic about you, Prince. Whether King Yan can make meritorious service is another matter. Even if he has made meritorious service, it is only the merit of a hunting dog. Why do you care! "Xu Jingzong continued to analyze calmly.

Li Chengqian was even more elated when he heard this, and said to Xu Jingzong, "Then there is a third?"

"As for the third, it is better for the sage to reward King Yan now than to reward King Yan in the future.

Otherwise, the thought of bestowing grace has always been in the heart of the saint. If it takes a long time, I am afraid that the reward given to King Yan will be far higher than other princes! "

Xu Jingzong said, "Thus, although the King of Yan is following the army to conquer Tuyuhun, he is actually sacrificing the grace of the saints. It is not certain who will win and who will lose!"

"Yeah!" Li Chengqian completely calmed down when he heard Xu Jingzong's words, and said to Xu Jingzong,

"Then Yanzu, what do you think I should do next?"

"That depends, Prince, are you willing to part with it or not!" Xu Jingzong said calmly at the moment.

"Huh?" Li Chengqian didn't react when he heard Xu Jingzong's words.

"My lord, I heard that you have a bright light armor, named Yueliu Lijia, which was consecrated by Buddhist eminent monks, and it is your cherished item.

Why don't you give this bright armor to the King of Yan when the army goes out to fight, it's a good story to be so respectful to brothers and sisters! "

"This..." Li Chengqian said reluctantly when he heard that he wanted to give Li Taiming the light armor, "Do you really want to give it?"

"Prince, you will have thousands of miles of land and mountains in the future, so why begrudge this mere bright light armor!" Xu Jingzong looked at Li Chengqian's ungrateful appearance after seeing small profits, and persuaded him even more, "In the end, it's just a piece of bright light armor." It's just armor."

Li Chengqian looked at Xu Jingzong's appearance, thinking in his heart that this is not your thing, so naturally he didn't care.

But this thing is compared to thousands of miles...
