Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 218
Long Feiyu's words were sonorous and powerful, not only Li Shimin's heart was surging, but even Li Jing and the others were also very excited.This sentence is similar to the old Han Dynasty's "Those who offend my mighty Han Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away."

Although not as powerful as that sentence, it is also a mighty declaration of a generation of prosperous dynasty kings.This sentence represents Datang's attitude towards those who dare to invade.

The compromise with the Turks was an eternal pain in Li Shimin's heart. Although the Turks perished, the shame of the past has already happened. The emperor is different from the common people. If the common people lose, they can make up for it. If the emperor loses, it will always be a shame for them in this life. Stains will be brought into the annals of history.

This time the threat from Tuyuhun, Li Shimin will not compromise either.Although he was not opposed to marrying the princess and getting married, marrying the princess under the threat of others was not what he wanted to see.

Even if she wants to marry, she has to wait until she beats Tuyuhun who dared to speak wild words.Looking at the sand table, Li Shimin looked at Long Feiyu and said, "You are more familiar with the terrain of this generation. What kind of troops do you think will be deployed in this battle?"

"Let the [-] cavalry from Longxi Racecourse go up."

"Ten thousand or less cavalry?"

Facing Li Jing's question, he pointed to the map and explained: "Lord Li, please look. Although this Tuyuhun has always been restless, he has never rashly launched an attack on my Tang Dynasty. How dare this person be so bold, I believe they must be sure There have been changes around us. Besides, the tribes in the territory of Tubo were originally fighting independently, but they may have stabilized now. As expected, this attack must have traces of Tubo people. Therefore, we must strike hard and smash the Tubo people Test my Datang's minions."

"However, we only use [-] cavalry for the opponent's [-] cavalry, which may not be enough."

"My lord, I don't know that these ten thousand cavalry are the elite selected from the border army with the permission of His Majesty. They have been trained by the guard general Le Jia. Although Le Jia lacks flexibility in battle, he is brave and good at fighting. Commanding, the most important thing is that he is good at training troops. The ten thousand cavalry was originally placed in Longxi, originally as an exciting force. It can go north, south, west or east. Since Tuyuhun dared to attack rashly this time, then Let them try the power of this maiden army."

"I have no objection to this army, but who should the commander-in-chief send? Those generals at the border are not suitable. Feiyu, you and Pharmacist have to stay in the army to command the battle, in case other countries take the opportunity to send troops."

Li Shimin's words sound nice, and Long Feiyu naturally knows what he means. Like Li Jing, he has to cool down after a while.Long Feiyu had already wiped out two countries. If Tuyuhun was wiped out again, Li Shimin was afraid that he would not be able to control it.So this credit still has to be given to others.

Long Feiyu naturally knew what he meant, and after a little thought, he said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the pigeon breeder I found in the suburbs of Beijing last time?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"Tuyuhun is not very far from Chang'an. If Guanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they will not exist for such a long time. Let this army bring these pigeons. Master Li and I will sit in the military department and point at these troops. They report the military situation every quarter of an hour, so that we can basically grasp the changes on the battlefield."

"Alright, let me see the magical thing you mentioned, but who do you think is suitable for the leader?"

Li Shimin repeatedly mentioned the leading figures, no matter how stupid people are, they know that Li Shimin wants to appoint the generals he likes.Since Li Shimin became the emperor, he has always appointed the main generals for the border operations. The officers in charge of the operations are almost all controlled by Long Feiyu, and a large number of them have emerged in his hands, such as: Su Dingfang, Xue Li, Feihu, Liu Zhenbei, Yuan Peng and a series of generals who can stand alone.There are also generals such as Feiying, Wang Zhuo, Xiao Jun, etc. who can sweep the enemy.

Even veteran officials like Li Ji haven't made any decent achievements these years, let them fight, not only these people dare not, even Li Shimin dare not use it.Don't let them fight, these veterans always cry to themselves, and put them under Long Feiyu's command, and they can't save face.

Simply this time, Li Jing and Long Feiyu will be in charge. With Li Jing's age gap, it will not be a distance.They will also carry out this order very well.

"I don't have any suitable candidates. Your Majesty will appoint you." Li Jing said this first. After hearing what Li Jing said, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling nodded in agreement.Three of the four agreed, and everyone turned their attention to Long Feiyu.Facing everyone's gaze, Long Feiyu also hurriedly stated: "Of course, His Majesty is the one to make the decision."

Hearing that the four were in the same position, Li Shimin was about to speak when Sanbao walked in, saluted him and said, "Your Majesty, all generals outside the door ask to see you."

Hearing that the generals begged for an audience, Li Shimin became somewhat depressed.The reason why everyone came here was to ask for a spot as the main attacker, but they were all his old subordinates, so Li Shimin didn't want to favor one over the other.Suddenly fell into a dilemma, but still waved his hand and said: "Let all the adults come in."

With Li Shimin's permission, a group of generals rushed in.One by one hula fell to the ground.Only Cheng Zhijie made half a salute, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, I cannot fully salute you with your armor on."

Li Shimin waved his hand to get everyone to stand up and look at Cheng Zhijie and said, "Cheng Aiqing, what do you mean when you come to see me wearing armor?"

"Your Majesty, when I heard that Tuyuhun had invaded the border, I was filled with righteous indignation. I wished I could arrive at the Dashan Pass in an instant and kill those thieves who dared to provoke our Tang Dynasty. Didn't I hear that Tuyuhun invaded the border, so I came here to plead for orders." As long as His Majesty gives an order, I will immediately order troops to set off."

Hearing Cheng Zhijie's words, everyone scolded him for being shameless. Just now he and Yuchi Gong were guests in the Dragon Mansion. Later, when they heard that Tuyuhun committed crimes, everyone invited them to come here to ask for an errand. Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhijie had to go to the bathroom halfway. Let a few people wait there, but slipped back to the mansion to put on their armor, which must have been prepared by him in advance.

Thinking of this scene, everyone immediately began to criticize him.Seeing the noise of the crowd, Li Shimin felt a little helpless. In fact, each of these people had a life-threatening friendship with him.At this time, he became a little embarrassed. He had already notified Hou Junji that this time he wanted to gain some political capital for Hou Junji so that he could be rewarded.

But after everyone made such a fuss, if he ignored it and gave it to Hou Junji, it would really end badly.With Long Feiyu's Datang, it can be said that they were already full of confidence before the war started.

Seeing Li Shimin's helpless look, Long Feiyu looked at a group of generals and said, "There are so many of you, and there is only one main task, and the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat. Your Majesty will be embarrassed by this. How about you vote? It has been decided, whoever gets the most votes will be in charge?"

What Long Feiyu said was a compromise, and even Li Shimin couldn't object, so he could only nod in agreement and said, "If that's the case, then that's fine."

Seeing Li Shimin doing the same thing, Cheng Zhijie suddenly said: "Then how about it, Long Feiyu, more or less of these people have worked with you, if it is based on the number of people, wouldn't you be sure to win?"

"Hehe, don't worry, Mr. Cheng, this time Master Li and I are in the Ministry of War, and the marshal who will go to the expedition will still be selected from among you."

"That's good."

Long Feiyu didn't participate. For their own benefit, everyone began to vote. After a short time, the number of votes was counted. Looking at Hou Junji, who was at the top of the list, everyone was a little surprised.Letting these famous generals not choose Junji, Cheng Zhijie looked at Qin Shubao and Yuchi with cannibalistic eyes and said respectfully: "Why don't you choose me?"

Yu Chigong said disdainfully: "We two are better than you and have no chance to participate. Why did you choose you? Why didn't you choose us?" Obviously Cheng Zhijie made a mistake, but he still doubted: "But even if everyone chooses me, then Why did Lord Hou cast several extra votes?"

"Cheng Guogong, don't worry, Lord Hou is the general of the right guard. Among these generals, the right guard has the most people. As for your left, you are the only one who got the wind. The rest of the people don't know about it. It is very important that Lord Hou was elected. It's a normal thing, what's the point of choosing you if they don't choose their own master."

Hearing Long Feiyu's words, Cheng Zhijie wanted to defend himself, but Long Feiyu came and said, "I'd like to bet and admit defeat."

One sentence made Cheng Zhijie dumbfounded, so he could only stand aside angrily.Seeing that the outcome had been decided, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Since Hou Aiqing has been elected, then you will lead the [-] cavalry from Longxi to attack Tuyuhun."

"What? Your Majesty, only ten thousand?"

"Don't underestimate the [-]-strong army. This is one of the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty. This time you will be the main general, and the prison guard Le Jia will be the deputy general. Let's go out together. The rest of you should leave."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the group returned to the original road in despondency.After sending off a group of generals, everyone's eyes focused on the sand table again.

Li Jing took the lead and said, "From Longxi to Dashan Pass, there may still be a long way to go, not to mention that the Tuyuhun people choose to attack Dashan Pass because they are concerned about our cavalry. The large number of valleys in Dashan Pass is not conducive to cavalry attack. If we It’s easy to lose out against them.”

"Then Master Li, what if we attack directly from Longxi?"

"Longxi? What about the Dasanguan generation?"

"Dashan Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The people outside the pass have been looted by the Tuyuhun people. If we go to rescue them at this time, we will not be able to save them. But if we march from Longxi, we will also order Yuan Peng from Liangzhou to lead the army into Qinghai. Tuyuhun In order to obtain the protection of the Tubo people, people are afraid that the attack of our Tang Dynasty has moved the government to the Qinghai area. If we attack Qinghai, the [-] troops of Tuyuhun will surely return to help. This is the way to encircle Wei and save Zhao. At that time, our army will But we can annihilate Tuyuhun as the main force in the campaign, and the Yizhou defenders will lead an army to Chenbing on the border of Tubo to put pressure on Tubo, if they dare to help Tuyuhun, then we don’t mind going to war directly.”

Listening to Long Feiyu's strategy, not only Li Shimin nodded, but even Li Jing felt that this arrangement was the best.The Tang Dynasty never took the initiative to cause trouble, but once it caused trouble, no one would be afraid. The increasing combat effectiveness of the frontier army over the years undoubtedly became Li Shimin's greatest confidence.
