Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 444
"The Governor's Mansion of the Rear Army, that is the official position of the second rank!"

"Yes, if I remember correctly, Yiai is only 20 years old, right?"

"20 years old? At the age of 20, he will be a second-rank official? In the future, this son will definitely have the official title of Fang Gong."

Amidst the chatter of everyone's eyes and words, Fang Yiai followed the group of officials into the Hanyuan Hall, and subconsciously stood in the class.

"Hey, hey." Yu Chigong winked at Fang Yi'ai, and whispered, "Come here! Why are you still in the literature class?"

Hearing Yu Chigong's reminder, Fang Yiai came to his senses belatedly, hurriedly walked to the Wu Banchen, and stood behind Chai Shao and Cheng Yaojin.

Sitting on top of the Golden Luan Palace, Tang Taizong looked at Fang Yiai carefully, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Excellencies, don't play the book, I have something to talk about." Li Shimin overwhelmed everyone's discussion, and said loudly: "It was a bit of a waste of time for me to go to war with the Celestial Dynasty, but this time I want to lead the army in person, what do you guys think? ?”

Li Shimin Yujia's personal words came out, and there was a commotion in the Hanyuan Hall, and all the officials hurriedly persuaded:
"Long live is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how can you drive yourself to conquer."

"That's right. Although the Turkic army is rampant right now, it's enough to send capable ministers and generals to go there. Long live why bother?"

Most of the ministers who advised and advised were civil servants. These literati did not know the art of war, but they were very keen to mess up the war. Not only Li Shimin was quite critical of this, but even generals such as Qin Qiong and Li Jing had long been disdainful.

"Do you know how many Turkic soldiers are supporting this time?" Li Shimin asked, stroking his beard.

The civil servants only knew that the Turkic soldiers had invaded Yanmen Pass, but Monk Zhanger couldn't figure out the specific battle report. Now when Li Shimin asked him, they fell silent, and all looked at Qin Qiong, Li Ji and others.

In Fangfu before, Qin Qiong was notified by Li Shimin, and now he naturally wanted to speak to Tang Taizong. He walked out of the court class holding a wat board, bowed and said: "The Turks have raised more than 15 troops. According to reports from the front scouts, there are as many as [-] cavalry. so much."

After the words fell, there was an uproar in the Hanyuan Palace again. 15 soldiers are not too many, but 15 horses are a great wealth, especially for Datang who lacks horses, it is simply a piece of fat mutton with good color, flavor and taste.

"Although we have a lot of horses in the Tang Dynasty, Dian horses and Sichuan horses are not suitable for training as war horses. Can the 15 cavalry be equipped with the war horses provided by Liangzhou and Bingzhou alone?"

Facing Tang Taizong's inquiry, Li Jing stepped forward and said, "It's barely enough."

"At the beginning of our founding of the Tang Dynasty, Meng Haigong, Dou Jiande and others raised troops and made rebellion, and the soldiers were exhausted after years of conquests." Li Shimin lowered his tone by three points, and said again: "This time the Turkic troops come here, if they can't be defeated in one fell swoop, Endless troubles!"

Seeing that Li Shimin had made up his mind, all the generals clapped their hands together and said, "Long live the Holy Spirit, I am willing to fight the Turks to the death!"

"Okay! So Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Yuchi respectfully listen to the order!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, and after the three of them came out, he continued: "The three of you will accompany the main force of the lonely king!"

"Li Jing and Chai Shao commanded the right guard army and set out from the east of Yanmen Pass to encircle the main force of the Turks."

"Li Ji and Xue Wanche commanded the left guard army, marched from the west of Yanmen Pass, and surrounded the main force of the Turks."

"Hou Junji and Xue Wanli led the avant-garde army and detoured behind the main force of the Turks, thinking that the three armies would encircle them."

"The three armies have a total of [-] cavalry, each with [-] troops. You don't need to wait to wipe out the Turkic army, as long as you contain them."

The six kowtowed to accept the order, and then Wei Zheng came out and said, "May I ask Long Live, which general thinks it is the vanguard?"

Li Shimin expected that Wei Zheng would ask this question, so he opened his mouth slowly: "Qin Huaiyu thought that he was the leading vanguard, and Luo Tong was the deputy vanguard, and they were named generals who conquered captives and generals who challenged rebels, and led [-] cavalry to go straight out of Yanmen first!"

"Fang Jun listen to the order!" After speaking, Li Shimin looked at Fang Yiai and shouted loudly with a smile.

Fang Yiai had been prepared for a long time, when she heard the call, she hurriedly came out holding a white jade wat board and said, "My minister is here."

"Fang Jun of the Rear Military Governor's Mansion thinks that the grain officer for this battle is in charge of transporting food, grass, and weapons between Chang'an and the front lines." Halfway through speaking, Li Shimin suddenly accentuated his tone: "Cheng Chubi, Yuchi Baolin, and Hou Balin thought they were lieutenants. Assist Fang Jun in escorting grain and grass, and patrolling grain roads."

"My minister leads the decree." Fang Yiai thanked Shengen, and was about to enter the martial arts class, but saw the elder Sun Wuji striding out of the literary class, "Long live, since ancient times, there is a saying in the art of war, soldiers and horses before moving food and grass I think Fang Jun has never been on the battlefield, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take on this important task."

Changsun Wuji's words were half public and half private, and everyone couldn't find fault with them, so they could only nod in agreement, even Gao Shilian nodded slightly in agreement.

"It doesn't matter, although Fang Jun is young, he is also the No. [-] scholar in my dynasty. There are also Yuchi Baolin, Cheng Chubi, and Hou Balin to assist him. It is expected that nothing will happen."

Li Shimin's words came out, Gao Shilian walked out immediately, cupped his hands and said, "Long live, military rations are the most important thing in the First World War, I'm afraid Fang Jun will inevitably have some omissions."

Seeing Gao Shilian say this, Li Shimin's face immediately turned ugly. Gao Shilian is a veteran of the two dynasties, with high prestige, and has always been upright and upright. Wuji carried personal grievances like that.

"According to what Gao Aiqing said, how should we handle this matter?" Li Shimin asked, stroking his beard.

Seeing that Li Shimin's mind was shaken, everyone couldn't help shaking their heads secretly, all sweating for Fang Yiai's Wusha.

"Gao Shilian has a lot of prestige in the army. It doesn't matter what he said. Fang Jun's rear military governor's mansion is probably lost by more than half."

"Hey, he's really my good uncle. It's only natural for an uncle to help a nephew."

Just when Changsun Wuji was secretly happy and gave Gao Shilian a grateful look, what his old uncle said immediately surprised the eldest grandson.

"Although I am old, I still have courage. I am willing to assist Fang Dudu from the side and share the worries for Long Live." Gao Shilian's calm words completely helped Li Shimin make up his mind and blocked the Guanlong faction. Youyou's mouth.

Li Shimin nodded with a smile, looked at Gao Shilian, and said: "In this case, Ai Qing will think of the army as the supervisor, discipline and supervise Fang Jun and other young generals from the sidelines."

"Your order." Gao Shilian returned to court, looked at Fang Yiai, as if to say: "Boy, work hard, I'm here, don't worry."

Tang Taizong assigned different positions to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others in turn, and left Wei Zheng to teach the princes in the East Palace. Let's go, soldiers send to Yanmen Pass!"

"The minister waits for the order."

After sending Li Shimin away respectfully, everyone walked out of the Hanyuan Hall slowly. When they saw Fang Yiai, they cupped their hands and congratulated each other:

"Fang Concubine, no, no, Governor Fang, congratulations."

"The son-in-law's promotion this time is likely to change your old Fang family's family style."

"Huh? How do you say this?"

"Look, brother Xuanling is the prime minister of the court and the head of the literary class, while Yiai is the military governor's mansion, one literary and one military, and the father and son complement each other."

Facing the jokes of Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Du Ruhui and others, Fang Yiai repeatedly bowed his hands and begged for mercy: "Don't make fun of me, uncles, ashamed, ashamed."

Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou walked forward slowly, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji Yidang who had already stepped down from Danchi with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Yiai."

"Uncle Wei, brother Ma Ren, Fang Jun is being polite." Fang Yiai responded with hands clasped, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, as if old friends were reunited.

Since the cause of death of the two magistrates of Meiwu became known, the favor of Fang Yiai from the poor family has greatly increased, and Fang Yiai is also very enthusiastic towards the ministers of the poor family. It's just a threat.

"Long live this time, the Fang Dudu is responsible for transporting the grain and grass." Halfway through the sentence, Wei Zheng paused slightly, and continued: "However, Chang'an is only a hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass, and Fang Zima can walk back and forth with his eyes closed. Is it over?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter, and Wei Zheng's words couldn't help but reminded everyone of Fang Yiai's nickname of "deserter's son-in-law".

"Uncle, don't make fun of your nephew, ashamed, ashamed." Fang Yiai smiled wryly, and was about to laugh at herself when Wang Youdao's voice came from behind her from time to time.

"Hello, my lords." Wang Youdao said hello to Wei Zheng and the others with a smile, then walked up to Fang Yiai, and said with a smile: "The empress and concubine are going to discuss matters, and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is also waiting in the Lizheng Hall."

Knowing that Empress Changsun had summoned him, Fang Yi's heart shivered, and he couldn't help but think of what he did to the Guanlong faction in Henan Province.

"The Empress has a summons, this." Fang Yiai faltered, cupped his hands and said, "Please lead the way."

Saying goodbye to Wei Zheng and the others in a hurry, Fang Yi'ai and Wang Youdao walked slowly towards the Lizheng Hall. While walking, they thought to themselves, "I never had trouble with the eldest grandson Anye in Caozhou. What is the reason for this summoning?"
