More soldiers and more generals

Chapter 1028: Many soldiers and many generals

In the late spring of AD 645.

On the northern prairie, a long and difficult winter finally passed.

Spring returns to the earth, everything revives, grass grows again, orioles fly again, and cattle and sheep begin to become fat.

This is the spring for the grassland people and the beginning of the harvest of the grassland people.

In summer and autumn, everything on the grassland will flourish.

The Tubo king of Daxueshan abandoned Zong Nongzan and made an appointment with Khan of the Eight-Classic Khan to join his old friend Tuyuhun.

We sent troops together and vowed to capture the great rivers and mountains of the Han people in the Central Plains, end the suffering of the children of the grassland, and move them to the beautiful and prosperous Central Plains, Jiangnan and other places.

Tubo sent 150,000 troops, Tiole's eight surnames sent 300,000 troops, and Tuyuhun tribe took out all the assets, with a total of 83,000 troops and horses.

In addition, there were old subordinates who wanted to restore power, twenty-nine tribes of all sizes, totaling 130,000 troops, and two divisions belonging to Tielle and Tubo.

There are many people in the Xueyantuo tribe who want to kill Han people, with a total of more than 100,000 people.

More than 600,000 troops were buried in the territory, and the Han people in the world were unable to breathe.

This is the most dangerous moment and the most dangerous year in the history of the Han people.

All the sixteen guards of the Li Tang court came out, and six Eastern Palace leaders joined.

In addition to the people guarding the borders everywhere, almost all the troops and horses that can be mobilized in the twenty-two guards in the world were taken out to reach the border, and nearly 300,000 troops could fight.

This was the first time that the Li Tang court had put all its strength into large-scale military use after he was successful in the world.

Li Shimin is not a fool either, and the high-ranking officials in the court are also very careful in their calculations.

Therefore, before the grassland people gathered in order, the Sixteen Guards of Li Tang drove to the frontier to guard the border.

In winter, the dispatch of troops began. It was not until late spring that the grassland people gathered for more than 400,000 people, and Li Tang's sixteen guards were neatly in place.

As for the sixth order of the Prince's Eastern Palace, all the full staff are fully equipped and become the real guard rate.

Each guard leads 13,000 troops, and there are many soldiers and soldiers of the sixteen guards today.

Why has the Six Ratings of the East Palace not taken action for a long time?

Because the six guards of the Eastern Palace were the previous ones, and the one guards led around 5,000 people, the leading generals used were all of the low-grade ones.

Now the first guard has led the army and the first guard. According to the rules of the Li Tang court, fourth-rank generals are not enough to guard the first guard. As long as they are built by Chengwei, a third-rank general must be in charge of command, even if they are a third-rank general.

The previous six guards of the Eastern Palace had only two third-rank military generals in charge, so if they were divided, they could only lead two guards, and the main and deputy generals of the five guards were missing.

The Li Tang court had these positions, so the ten additional main generals and ten deputy generals greatly stimulated the hearts of the Han people.

Regardless of whether it is a civil servant or a military general, no matter which faction the Han people are, they are all thinking about these ten places.

Including Emperor Li Shimin, his stomach ache was all over his mind, and he was no exception. He also wanted to grow and grow the generals of the Qin Prince's Mansion faction.

This is an excellent opportunity, and it is also a chance that rarely appears again, so even the emperor's Li Shimin was very moved.

The faction in the whole world is indifferent to this matter, namely Li Yu's faction.

Because Qin Qiong was born as a military general, military generals accounted for two-thirds of the faction.

Compared with other factions, Li Yu lacks civil servants. Li Yu doesn't want to see these military generals. The generals in the faction also have their own positions. He doesn't want to move around casually, so as not to be discovered.

So Li Yu seemed extremely relaxed, and at the same time, he was also worried about Li Yu's emperor, so he felt at ease.

On the other hand, Li Yu also solved a lot of trouble, because Li Shimin had thought that if Li Yu was concerned about these quotas, he would have planned to remove Li Yu's followers after Li Yu cleaned up the dangers of the border, and at the same time he would find a way to get in touch with Li Yu's positions in the court and ask him to go back and be a good clan leader of a family.

As a result, Li Yu had no interest. The information he received from Xuanjia Army was that the civil and military officials around him ate, slept, slept, and did not take it seriously!

Only then did Li Shimin calm down and competed wholeheartedly for these ten third-grade quotas.

Until the end of spring, the dust finally settled, and Li Shimin, the generals from the Qin Palace, raised four, one from the third rank, one from the third rank, and two from the third rank.

They each took control of the power of the three guards led by the six guards of the East Palace.

The remaining six quotas were divided by the Shandong scholar faction, Li Jiancheng faction, the former dynasty survivor faction, and the Li Yuan faction. Among them, the Shandong faction and the former dynasty survivor faction each received two quotas!

The number of military generals obtained by the Li Jiancheng faction was the eldest son of Xue Wanjun, the deceased Shangzhu Kingdom and the Duke of Yong'an County, ascended the throne.

This is the eldest son of Xue Wanche's elder brother who died of illness. He was 42 years old. In his prime, he followed his uncle Xue Wanche in the last border war and made many contributions. This time he became arriving at the throne was basically natural and it did not arouse opposition or disgust from others. He deserved it!

The third-grade quota obtained by Li Yuan's faction was Li Yu's mortal enemy, the backbone of the Cui family in Qinghe, and an uncle who has always been loyal to the fat man to take the lead.

Li Yu frowned in this regard. Li Yu's faction also disliked it very much, but the court was not completely in control.

Recently, the emperor has been watching him tightly again. Li Yu's men are pretending to be indifferent to the emperor, so Li Yu has basically not participated in the opinion of a word.

No one expected that an enemy would come to the guard to lead the army.

However, this is not exciting content. What is even more surprising is that the house where the Wang family and Li Yu in Taiyuan had a clan elder who took office.

They are authentic, old aristocratic faction left by the previous dynasty.

At this point, Li Yu's two enemies all controlled the real military power.

But it's not without good things!

The good thing recently is that Li Shimin finally made up his mind to give his eldest son a chance.

This time, Li Yu was justified.

He was named the general manager of Zhenbei University, and led 300,000 troops to operate in a unified manner, headed the northwest, and retreated to the enemy and defended the country.

The 32-year-old general was also the commander of the three armies, and this was the first in the Li Tang court.

The commander in his thirties would not mention Li Tang, but it is rare in the long river of history.

If you ask the people of the people, which man they are most envious and jealous of today?

Then the only answer is Li Yu.

More people tell Li Yu that he had three heads and six arms, and he was a monster-like guy.

Some people also say that Li Yu was reincarnated and reincarnated to save the suffering.

People are humans during the day and gods at night. They can sprinkle beans into soldiers and can spit fire in their mouths. Otherwise, how can they defeat so many thieves?

It is said that a few years ago, the hundreds of thousands of people in the border were Li Shenxian, who scattered many beans and cut out many paper men, and turned into heavenly soldiers and generals, killing them at night to defeat the thieves.

April 3rd.

The six guards of the East Palace led the six men and horses to move in unison, accompanying the head coach Li Shilang to go out of the frontier.

Li Shimin personally sent it to Triumph Mountain 33 miles west of Chang'an City.

The reason why Li Shimin sent it here was that his name was a good omen and a good start.

Seeing the 100,000 army walking on the road of officialdom, Li Shimin was filled with emotion;

"His wisdom is indeed not low. Many years ago, he wanted to build roads to facilitate the deployment of troops from all over the world and dispatch generals from all over the world. Now we don't talk about anything else, just say that the transportation of food and grass has taken a lot of advantages. The same amount of food and grass as before, can now eat a lot more days, all because the distance is reduced and it is easy to walk, and it saves a lot of money."

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

Li Shimin's words attracted praise from more than a hundred officials around him.

"If you want me to tell me, it is your credit for your courage."

"Hey... I can't say that I can't say it absolutely. Mr. Li also has some credit for it."

Li Shimin was very proud, and what he meant was that Li Yu also made a little contribution, and the rest were mine.

"Of course, Your Majesty is right. Mr. Li has made some contributions, but without your Majesty's support, I can be sure that no matter how good the idea is, it cannot be smooth. Perhaps most of the people in the womb will be born."

"It makes sense. What Wang Shizhong said is exactly what I want to say in my heart."

"Yes, I think so too."

Li Shimin returned to Chang'an in a harmonious voice. The 100,000 troops here rushed to the road slowly, and did not stop and rest until halfway through the Xu hour.

Li Yu led a group of generals to walk around the military camp casually, observing, and he saw every detail and didn't let go of anything.

Following Li Yu were a bunch of Taoist priests, a group of generals, and the guards of the second house of Li.

Almost all the elders of the Imperial Guard Lin family were dispatched and were with the patriarch. After all, this was the largest war in recent decades.

The prosperity and failure of the Li Tang court is not a big deal, but the safety of the patriarch of the second house of the Li family is very important.

Besides, this time it involves too much, which involves the success or failure of the Central Plains dynasty. This matter is also very important. The Imperial Guard Lin family attaches great importance to it.

Li Tang lost something and the problem was small. The stable living environment of Li's second family was gone, so this is the key point.

Therefore, when the court encountered difficulties in all dynasties, the Li family in Longxi had to send troops to help.

This time is no exception.

During his life and death, Li Shimin asked for help from aristocratic families and received support from the five surnames and seven hopes.

The five surnames and seven hopes each sent troops to help, and the troops raised more than 100,000 were raised again.

These 100,000 troops strengthened Li Shimin's belief and gave the Han people a reassurance that the people from all over the world could sleep peacefully.

The 400,000 army drove to the northern border. No matter what, it was a matter of making the Han people happy and courageous.
