Dragon fights in Tang Dynasty

Chapter 44 Preparing for the Expedition

I don't understand, Li Zhen really can't understand what kind of medicine is sold in her old man's gourd, without him, the way of balance is certainly the emperor's mind, but it is definitely not a child's play, with the old man's high IQ and Rich combat experience should not have used such stupid tricks, but now the imperial decree is clearly there, which makes Li Zhen's head full of confusion, no matter how hard he thinks, he can't see what the old man wants to do.

After thinking about it for half a night, Li Zhen still couldn't figure it out, but seeing that the expedition was imminent and everything was complicated, she simply stopped thinking about it and rushed to the Ministry of War early in the morning, planning to Complete the deployment letter, logistics, and other things in advance, and then worry about other things. I never thought that Li Zhen arrived early, Qin Huaiyu, Hou Guozhong, Wang Youlin and others arrived earlier, and Li Zhen, the general, arrived last. It's too late.

"The last general will wait to see the prince." Seeing Li Zhen get off the sedan chair, Qin Huaiyu and others who had already been waiting outside the lobby of the Ministry of War hurried forward to greet Li Zhen.

"You don't need to be too polite. My king came a step late and kept you waiting. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Li Zhen's face was full of smiles, and she repeatedly apologized, but not only did she not feel apologetic in her heart, on the contrary, she was bored. That's enough—the three sub-pioneers have three backgrounds, and the other two are unworthy. Let's talk about Qin Huaiyu. Although this buddy is Li Zhen's senior brother, he gets along very well on weekdays, but this guy's temperament is not the same as his father Qin Qiong. It was printed out of the same mold, and they were all things that were ignored except for being loyal to Li Shimin. Even facing Li Zhen, the younger brother, there was no difference, and it was simply not something that Li Zhen could win over.Just throwing these three guys into the vanguard army, well, Li Zhen's idea of ​​taking advantage of the opportunity to pull the mountain top has been half lost. have to.

"My lord, this time the vanguard army consists of 500 cavalry, [-] infantry, and [-] logistics battalions, a total of [-] horses and horses. Except for the logistics battalion, the rest are all soldiers of the Youxiao cavalry guards belonging to the last general. All the battalions are ready, please give instructions from your lord." Facing Li Zhen's smiling face, Qin Huaiyu did not have the slightest smile on his face, and delivered the report meticulously.

Uh huh, all of them are You Xiao cavalry guards?Ha, I understand, Mr. Ganqing has such an idea.Li Zhen's heart moved, and she vaguely guessed the location of her old man's trump card - the old man wanted to see how Li Zhen would handle the faction dispute, but well, even if Li Zhen couldn't handle this matter, it wouldn't be too big of a deal The problem is that Qin Huaiyu can take over the command at any time. Maybe Qin Huaiyu has Li Shimin's secret order in his arms.

Damn it, the old man is still worried, this is not only to test us, but also to prevent us from doing something wrong, hey, just wait and see.Li Zhen murmured endlessly in her heart, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, and said with a smile: "Okay, if that's the case, after I have received the military amulet, I will go to Nanya with General Qin to meet the big guy. How are you?"

"Yes, the general will obey." Qin Huaiyu didn't say anything more, bowed and stepped aside.

As soon as Qin Huaiyu retreated, Wang Youlin, who was full of smiles, stepped forward and said with a coquettish smile: "My lord, the people in the supply camp are all subordinates of the general, please give me instructions."

Wang Youlin was just a little Zhonglang general, he had neither great military exploits nor courage. Li Zhen had never paid attention to this man before, but this was the first time he saw him, so he couldn't help but scrutinized him carefully. Underneath, his brows frowned involuntarily, without him, this Wang Youlin is not so much a soldier, but a businessman is more appropriate-although this guy is also wearing armor, but his fat body is not the slightest soldier Not to mention the ugly smile on his face, the fat on his face is still shaking when he smiles, coupled with a pair of small shining eyes, he looks like a profiteer.

***, where did the fourth child find out this kind of rubbish, and he recommended it seriously to be my deputy, damn it, I'm so disgusted to death, this fat guy can get into the position of General Zhonglang , I really don’t know how it came out, could it be that it was bought with money?Li Zhen was very bored in her heart, but it was not easy to do it on the spot. She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh, I have long admired, I have long admired." As soon as the words fell, she planned to stop nagging Wang Youlin, but never thought that Wang Youlin would Not giving up, he laughed at himself and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me, the general is born with such a fat body, but there is nothing he can do about it, but logistics is the lifeblood of the army, and the general will not miss it." It's a big deal for your lord."

Ha, I dare to say that this product is still a little real. It's interesting to know the importance of logistics.Li Zhen paused, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'll entrust General Wang with the logistics. I don't know how the general plans to proceed?"

"My lord, my vanguard army has a total of 750 people. We are going to Shuozhou, Shanxi for more than [-] miles. Except for the six states along the way, such as Yunzhou and Tongguan, which can supply a little food and fodder, the rest must be transported from the capital. A total of [-] main tent, [-] yuan for a tent, [-] stones of grain, [-] dans of hay, and a carriage..." Wang Youlin wrung his fingers and kept talking about the types of luggage and related matters, and even how to start the shipment. , How to supplement along the way are all explained one by one, without even a pause in the middle.

Hehe, good guy, this fat guy can do it, it really fits the old saying - people are not judged by their appearance, and the sea is not measured, ****, we judge people by their appearance, this time it will be embarrassing.Li Zhen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and couldn't react for a while, so he smiled after a while, and said politely: "Okay, it is a great achievement for General Wang to ensure the supply of food, fodder and luggage. The general has taken a lot of trouble." After a pause, he continued: "General Wang, I may not be able to go to the supply camp in time today, so that's all right, after a while you will receive the soldier talisman and the order for food and fodder, and you will follow Ben Wan's personal guards." Take a trip to the 'Yanji Company', where the king has prepared some medicinal wine, gauze and other healing medicines, how about asking General Wang to take them with the army?"

Wang Youlin is just a mid-level military officer under the fourth grade, and he has always been in charge of logistics, and the status of logistics officers in the Tang army has always been extremely low. In addition, Wang Youlin is not very lovable. Looking at him, even Li Tai, the king of Wei, who has always claimed to be a virtuous and virtuous corporal, didn't pay much attention to him, but mostly used him. When he came up to the position, he couldn't help being touched, but he didn't want to say anything at this time, so he just saluted respectfully, answered "Yes", and stepped aside.

The most embarrassing of the three deputy vanguards is Hou Guozhong. He has no trusted sergeant and is on the prince's side. Facing Li Zhen, who has a bad relationship with the prince, he really doesn't know how to deal with himself. As soon as Li saw it, he stood silently by the side, looking depressed, but Li Zhen did not neglect Hou Guozhong. After beating Qin Huaiyu and Wang Youlin, Li Zhen looked at Hou Guozhong with a smile and said: " Brother Hou, it's getting late, please follow me to the Ministry of War to handle the handover matters, and then go to Nan Ya for a walk together?"

Li Zhen is a prince and a general. Although his words are gentle, there is a kind of firmness that cannot be rejected. Hou Guozhong couldn't resist at all. In addition, he still has an important mission this time, so naturally he can only nod in agreement. That's it.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, there was very little corruption and corruption, and the bureaucratic habits were not too heavy. In addition, Prince Li Zhen personally came forward to coordinate, and the various departments of the Ministry of War naturally cooperated with all their strength. All the formalities have been completed, and Li Zhen, who was free, no longer took the sedan chair, and directly got on the horse, led Qin and Hou to the location of Nanya, and dealt with Mr. Su Dingfang, the general of the Youxiao cavalry guards , even if he took the relevant jurisdiction of the two battalions of cavalry and two battalions of infantry of Youxiao Cavalry Guards, he hurriedly rushed to the location of the barracks again, planning to have a military parade.

According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the battalion (also known as the regiment) is the basic combat unit, and its organization is as follows: the battalion commander and the highest officer are the school lieutenants, there is a team under the regiment, and the team is set up, and the team is the team, and the team leader is set up.Each battalion has five teams under its jurisdiction, each team leads three groups, each group leads five commanders, and each leads ten men. Generally speaking, the first battalion of the cavalry has only 1000 cavalry, while the first battalion of the infantry has about [-] soldiers. Directly under the Central Government, when there is no battle, each battalion rotates every three months, and the officers of each battalion are only eligible to stay in Beijing as officers unless they can be promoted to Bing Cao or Qi Cao (the top seven) because of their military exploits. If you arrive, you have to go back to Zhechong mansion to wait for orders. As for which guard will be next time, it is hard to say. Therefore, the soldiers of each battalion do not actually have any affiliation with the chief officer of the Zhonglang general who governs them. No, when Li Zhen led Qin and Hou's two lieutenants to the barracks, Qin Huaiyu, who was the general of the Youxiao cavalry guard, introduced his subordinates a lot. If you are blind, you have to be introduced by others, which makes Qin Huaiyu feel very embarrassed, but well, this is no wonder Qin Huaiyu, although the soldiers and horses of these four battalions are all battle-tested and fierce troops, they are all freshmen. It's only normal for Qin Huaiyu to fail to recognize all the officers and soldiers of the Zhechong government after You Xiao's cavalry guards took part.

Hey, I didn't say anything, just one word: cool!Li Zhen looked at the thousands of people standing in front of them in a neat line, and was very excited in her heart. Even Qin Huaiyu's embarrassment could not affect Li Zhen's good mood. Without him, to be honest, Qin Huaiyu couldn't recognize it all. It is a good thing for Li Zhen to take full control of the team under his command. Seeing that her years of martial arts training are not in vain, Li Zhen is so proud that she wants to laugh out loud. Of course, it is just thinking about it in her heart. Li Zhen would never do things like getting carried away, but well, I still have to show my excitement, or I can buy people's hearts, right?No, Li Zhen performed again.

"Warriors of the Tang Dynasty, you are the backbone of my Tang Dynasty. It is because of your desperate fight that the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty and the peace of the world are there. Now, Xue Yantuo's younger generation dared to invade our border. Killing my people and touching the great power of the Tang Dynasty, warriors, how should we deal with those sons of bitches? Tell me!" Li Zhen waved her hands and roared loudly.

"Kill it!"

"Well said! Kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind, and let those scumbags see what my Tang men do." Li Zhen pressed her hand lightly, stopped the turbulent killing sounds of the troops, and said with a little excitement : "Since my king was ordered to be the vanguard of the great army, I will lead my Tang soldiers to fight decisively on the battlefield. I also hope that the warriors will help Xiao Wang to drive out the grass bandits and restore the peace on the frontier of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone, do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" Thousands of mouths responded like a tsunami again.

"Very good!" Li Zhen nodded, and announced with great satisfaction: "Additional meals today, four liang of meat per person, enough rice, and a pot of wine for each, starting tomorrow, when the army returns triumphantly, This king must conspire with the brothers to get drunk!"

As soon as they heard that there was food and drink, the morale of thousands of soldiers who had already been mobilized by Li Zhen immediately increased a little bit. When Li Zhen announced the dissolution, the cheers were so loud that they could turn the sky upside down. ...

Just as Li Zhen was having fun with the soldiers of the vanguard battalions, Li Shimin was sitting quietly on the dragon chair in the Ganlu Hall in the imperial palace, looking at a report in his hand. It was written on it that it was Li Zhenjin Every word and deed of the children, a big man in Nanya military uniform stood respectfully aside.

The report was not long, but Li Shimin read it very slowly, his face was very calm, and he could not see any emotion. At the end, he just waved his hand to signal the big man to retreat, and he never asked any questions from the beginning to the end. After a few words, the light in his eyes kept flickering...
