Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 232
Li Shimin said leisurely: "That's right, it's you. Well, you are 16 years old, just one year younger than Huo Qubing."

"Huo Qubing is good at riding and shooting. He is flexible in using troops. He pays attention to strategy. He doesn't stick to ancient methods. He is brave and decisive. He is good at long-distance raids, quick surprise raids, large roundabouts, and large interspersed operations. He led 800 brave cavalry into hundreds of miles into the enemy's territory for the first time. , killed the Xiongnu soldiers and fled in all directions. In the two Hexi battles, Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu, captured the Xiongnu to sacrifice to the Tianjin people, and went straight to Qilian Mountain. In the Battle of Mobei, Huo Qubing sealed the wolf and lived in Xu, and returned with great victory. You There are Huo Qubing's strengths, but no Huo Qubing's weaknesses. Huo Qubing has penetrated hundreds of miles into the enemy's territory, how can you be weaker than him?"

Li Shimin's words without the slightest joke made Qin Feng stunned for a while.I was stunned because I didn't quite understand what Li Shimin meant, or I couldn't believe my ears.He understood what Li Shimin meant: it was nothing more than saying that he was as good as Huo Qubing.

Same as Huo Qubing?
This kind of evaluation can be described as ridiculously high, Qin Feng is extremely ashamed, he knows his own affairs, he has a lot of tricks, let him lead an army alone, and participate in this battle that is related to the future of the Tang Dynasty, he seems not to have such qualifications with ability.As the emperor, Li Shimin should be concerned with such an important matter to a 16-year-old boy. This is really ridiculous, so that Qin Feng couldn't believe his ears.

Li Shimin attaches great importance to this upcoming war. It is definitely not a whim, but a decision after careful consideration. There are six reasons:

First, Turkic civil strife, the combat power is not as good as before.

Second, when the war broke out, Li Jing and Li Ji supported him from the left to the right, and Qin Feng himself was scheming and scheming, even if he did nothing, he would not be guilty.

Third, the Huben army is the most elite soldiers selected from the twelve guards. After the cavalry is equipped with the three treasures of the cavalry, its combat effectiveness is not lower than that of the Turkic warriors. Even in frontal combat, they are still invincible. It would be a pity that an army was not used in this great war.

Fourth, Qin Feng is notoriously good at training troops, and he can quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the frontier army when he reaches the border.

Fifth, he has complete trust in Qin Feng. Originally, Qin Feng was the young generation he admired the most, and he has always regarded him as a confidant.Because of the Skynet incident, all of Qin Feng's performances made him understand Qin Feng's character and wisdom further, knowing that it is impossible to lose with his character.What's more, the combat effectiveness of the Huben Army has also been recognized by Li Jing, and he strongly recommends the Huben Army to participate in the war and play an important role in the war.It's just that in this world, no one knows this army better than Qin Feng, so it is more appropriate for Qin Feng to lead this tiger and wolf army as the commander of the central army.

Sixth, after the layout this time, Li Shimin found that there are so many powerful generals in the Tang Dynasty, but there are very few great talents who can stand on their own. This situation has aroused Li Shimin's worry and attention. , the idea of ​​cultivating successor talents for Datang.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he only felt that Qin Feng was the only candidate.

Make big things happen, regardless of small details!

Li Shimin was originally a resolute king. With this in mind, he had already made up his mind and hinted to Qin Feng to ask him to fight.

Qin Feng's astonished expression made him feel amused, and he said: "Don't doubt your ears, and don't pretend to be confused, I mean what you think. This matter is related to the eternal life of my Tang Dynasty, so do it well. In the field, I believe that you and the Huben Army have the ability to take on heavy responsibilities."

"But... I'm too young, what will others think?" Qin Feng looked at His Majesty the Tang Emperor who instigated him to break the law, his face was a little speechless, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Li Shimin's smiling face was the same as the big bad wolf who instigated the little rabbit to open the door Somewhat alike.

Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said: "I really didn't see it. When did you become so pedantic? It's okay for others to refuse to accept it. Wouldn't it be over if you pull out the team and fight the Huben army? If you still refuse to accept it, you will Fight him once to convince him. You are only in charge of the central army, and the Turkic people fight head-to-head and have no tactics at all. You don't have to worry about being unable to deal with the Turkic strategy. Besides, you You are not the commander in chief of this battle, if something goes wrong, I will take care of it, what are you afraid of. Is this a little bit of guts?" He pouted his lips, a little disdainful.

Rat gall?

Qin Feng is a little angry, even if he is a fierce general, there is no need to hurt others so much, right?Immediately said harshly: "Joke, I, Qin Feng, have grown up so big, and I have never been afraid of anyone. Father-in-law, don't worry, isn't it just a pack of wolf cubs? Exterminate it."

Li Shimin nodded his head in satisfaction, and said: "This is my son-in-law, the Erlang of the Qin family whom I admire. He is really responsible and lives up to my expectations."

Qin Feng muttered disdainfully in his heart: "If you don't agree with you, you are a coward. If you agree with you, you are responsible. The ancients said that a good king has a shameless face, and he doesn't deceive me." As for who said it, it is naturally big. What the talented Qin Feng said.

"You have dealt with the Turks, and you should know the character of the Turks. The chief of the Turks, he only relies on riding and shooting, and when he sees a benefit, he will go forward, and he will go when he sees a problem. For regular clothes, the team does not line up, and the camp has no fixed place. Chase water and grass as living quarters, use sheep and horses as military rations, stop seeking money in victory, and have no shame in defeat. There is no labor of police at night and day patrols, and no expense of building fortifications to feed food."

Li Shimin's simple sentence can be said to have thoroughly analyzed the habits of the Turks.In particular, the phrase "seek wealth only when winning, and be ashamed when losing" is a clear indication of the mentality of the Turkic people.

"When the Turks were at their most powerful, you led thousands of people to gallop across the territory of the Turks, injured countless enemies, and were able to hide your true whereabouts. With such courage, courage, and wit, I believe that it is difficult to find another person in this world. According to my analysis, you are the commander-in-chief of the army on the front line. Therefore, I want to transfer you as the governor of Shuozhou, in charge of the military affairs of the four states, and guard the northern border. Like Li Jing and Li Shiji, when guarding, send people deep into the Turkic territory , investigate the Turkic situation, understand the Turkic dynamics, and use the shortest time and the fastest way to take down the Turkic in the future.

"Ah!" Li Shimin couldn't help sighing a long time when he said this: "You and Changle are newly married, and I know that such a decision is a bit unreasonable, but I discussed it with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, and we will discuss many things. The generals analyzed them one by one, and they all agreed that you are the best candidate to do your part."

Qin Feng couldn't help being stunned. He didn't expect that apart from Li Shimin and Li Jing, even Fang Mou Duan would give himself such a heavy label.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, he was silent for a while. The frontier was bitterly cold and there was no security. It was naturally impossible for Princess Changle to follow him to Shuozhou to take up his post.The newlyweds are really cruel and reluctant to separate the two places.The same goes for Zheng Liwan...

In this life, there will always be some dilemmas. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, but that's it.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Feng's eyes became firm, and he said: "Thanks to the trust of my father-in-law, my son-in-law is willing to take on this important task. I just don't know when the appointment will come down..."

Li Shimin patted Qin Feng's shoulder vigorously, and said with great relief: "I know that my son-in-law cares about the world, has a clear distinction between public and private, and will not refuse. Well, this is not urgent, after the new year... I also It’s not that unkind, the newlyweds separated you and Chang Le. Chang Le didn’t get angry if he broke you up rashly.”

Qin Feng felt at ease. The Spring Festival is only eight days away, and the honeymoon period is long enough. As a good man, he should shoulder as many responsibilities as he has.Now that he has reached this point, facing the Turks... he must do his best.

Originally, he was only thinking of taking this piece of fat for Datang, but he never expected that the cow on the other side was actually a Turkic cow. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said: "By the way, who is in charge of the Xi clan?"

Li Shimin said: "Li Daozong is upright, and Li Junxian is assisting. What do you think?" Li Junxian guards the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin knows how loyal and capable he is.

Li Daozong is the nemesis of Goguryeo. It would be perfect for him to guard the Northeast. Qin Feng nodded and stopped talking. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Father-in-law, I need a lot of weapons, food, and money." , explained: "You know that my training costs a lot."

Li Shimin waved his hand, stopped him and said, "I will do my best to satisfy your request." This time, Li Shimin ransacked a lot of houses, and the income was endless. He said generously, "Where's the war horse?"

Qin Feng faced the enemy head-on, very dangerous, but Li Shimin took the initiative to mention the war horse.

Qin Feng's eyes lit up and said: "Is the deal with Tuli and Yinan a success?"

Li Shimin replied: "Very victorious, they fought fiercely, and the consumption in all aspects was beyond imagination. Tuliyi men used salt and iron equipment to buy and draw tribes to stand side by side with them, and it was often tens of thousands. We don't make money. The transactions are all in exchange for cattle and horses. Enough cattle can drive agriculture, and the huge consumption of weapons is also of great benefit to the smelting industry."

Qin Feng smiled, showing his fox tail, and said: "Well, the Modao Formation is certainly a sharp weapon developed by Li Shangshu and I to defeat the Turkic cavalry. But if it goes deep into the Turkic hinterland, the slow mobility of the Modao Formation will be doubled. Zooming in is not conducive to fighting on the grassland. This...Your Highness, you see, since we now have a source of war horses in the Tang Dynasty, the Hequ Army Horse Farm has achieved great results after long-term investment. Look at this...Can war horses There are a lot of extra overdrafts. When it comes time to attack the Turks, they can also contribute their strength, right?"

Seeing Qin Feng who was ready to fight, Li Shimin also laughed.He is also a good rider, so he naturally knows the magic of cavalry in this period.The so-called Bu Keqi were actually forced out.The key to victory is not arms, but tactics.If you have enough cavalry, whoever is full will study the tactics of infantry and cavalry.In the flat fields, only the cavalry can really compete with the cavalry in the cold weapon era.
