181 Lead the troops to fight, the two generals fight

As soon as Li Shimin came to the morning court in Tai Chi Palace, he proposed to send Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde to the Tang Dynasty border, one to defend against the Turks and the other to comfort Lingzhou. Once this matter was proposed by Li Shimin, Yuchi Jingde stopped doing it!

According to the proposal made by Li Shimin, Qin Shubao accompanied Zhang Yang to Lingzhou to condolences to the border troops, and at the same time, he and the governor of Lingzhou, Li Daozong, were at the front line of defense in Yanzhou east of Lingzhou.

He sent Yuchi Jingde to the Yinzhou border to temporarily serve as the general manager of the Yinzhou marching to defend against the possible incident of the Eastern Turkic Jie Li Khan and the Tuli Khan leading troops south to attack the border after the autumn harvest this year!

According to common sense, if you don’t do this, it should be that Qin Shubao doesn’t do it. After all, with the merits of the two, Qin Shubao’s advantage. Moreover, Qin Shubao’s trip to Lingzhou was just to assist the governor of Lingzhou, Rencheng King Li Daozong, to fight against the Eastern Turks!

But Yuchi Jingde is different. In terms of achievements, due to Zhang Yang's borrowing, Yuchi Jingde surpassed Qin Shubao's special achievements, and the first achievements of the generals in the Xuanwu Sect transformation were already divided equally by the generals!

So compared to Qin Shubao, whose achievements, qualifications and strength are above them, Li Shimin sent him to Yinzhou to defend against the Turks' southward attack on the border. In the eyes of the ministers who didn't know the inside story, this was a great opportunity to make achievements!

This Yuchi Jingde went to Yinzhou to serve as the general manager of the marching, which was a great opportunity for generals.

As the military commander of Yinzhou, the general in Yinzhou was the supreme commander of Yinzhou's military defense and the general in charge of one side.

This is an opportunity that many generals can’t even ask for, which shows Li Shimin’s trust in saving him!

Moreover, as the former leader of the former Qin King Li Shimin's General Tiance Mansion, Li Shimin's confidant general, Yuchi Jingde, said that fighting the Eastern Turks to the south and attacking the border was already common for him. After so many years of fighting with the Eastern Turks, he was familiar with the Eastern Turks and could not be familiar with them!

Li Shimin asked him to lead a large army in Yinzhou to fight against the Eastern Turks going south to the border. In the eyes of many ministers present, this was Li Shimin giving his achievements to Yuchi Jingde, allowing him to quickly increase his achievements.

In order to achieve his promotion in the future, he will have enough achievements to make the government and the people have no gossip to say!

Of course, everyone understands in their hearts that although Qin Shubao has claimed that his body has been fully recovered, through this division of labor against the Eastern Turks and the Invaders, everyone is quite unsure about their complete recovery!

Judging from the degree of favor, Qin Shubao was much higher than Yuchi Jingde before, and it can be seen from Qin Shubao's official position and power in the Qin Palace.

Logically speaking, if Qin Shubao completely recovered, he would have been the case for going to Yinzhou to serve as the marching chief. After all, Qin Shubao is known as the number one general of the Tang Dynasty and has the title of "Shangguo Pillar" in the Tang Dynasty!

It is reasonable that he should have gone to lead troops to fight. However, this time Li Shimin sent Yuchi Jingde to Yinzhou and led the troops alone. This makes people wonder whether Qin Shubao's health has completely recovered!

However, after Li Shimin's proposal, many ministers (who don't know the plan proposed by Zhang Yang to Li Shimin) could not understand!

This person who was originally the most favored, but after recovering from his physical condition, he was not as favored as before. He accepted and agreed to this contrast calmly, and did not even show any extreme performance. This is quite strange!

What's even more strange is that in everyone's opinion, Yuchi Jingde, who had completely replaced Qin Shubao in the emperor's heart, was quite excited after Li Shimin suggested that he go to Yinzhou to serve as the marching chief!

He suggested to Emperor Li Shimin that since General Qin Shubao has recovered, has he been in Yinzhou been the general manager of the marching, so he should have been with General Qin Shubao. After all, in the past, General Qin Shubao led his troops to fight.

When he accompanied his son-in-law Zhang Yang to Lingzhou to comfort the border army fighting against the Eastern Turks in Lingzhou and the governor of Lingzhou, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, was involved in accompanying Mr. Zhang to go there. There was nothing important to the road, and he was completely competent!

For the ministers who don’t know the inside story, this is just because Yuchi Jingde seized his position in Li Shimin’s heart while Qin Shubao was recuperating and became Li Shimin’s most favored general.

I feel embarrassed to compensate and refuse Qin Shubao, and of course it is just a means to ease the conflicts and bring closer relationships. They are both accepted by an emperor and both of them. It is better not to have too deep conflicts between the two, so that they can not affect the generals of the later dynasty.

Of course, for those civil and military ministers who knew the inside story, Yuchi Jingde's approach was quite understandable. After all, everyone wanted to do the task of making achievements and was unwilling to give up.

Especially this large-scale battle that can be famous for history is something that they cannot give up as military generals.

Originally, as a military general, especially the generals of this period, they could go out to receive large-scale battles organized by the army, and there were fewer opportunities to fight alone. Moreover, when the two military gods of the Tang Dynasty were Li Jing and Li Ji, there were even fewer ones!

In addition, even if there was such an opportunity in the past, it was because Li Shimin was just that King Qin did not become the emperor like now. He was not in charge of the entire Tang Dynasty but his General Tiance's mansion.

Therefore, this kind of thing that leads troops alone to fight and organizes large-scale battles was accomplished by Li Shimin, who led them to form a group of generals.

In the past, they were all fighting against all the princes of the former dynasty on the original territory of the Great Sui Dynasty. To put it bluntly, these were mutual conquests between the people of the former Sui Dynasty and were internal strife.

This is not enough to fully reflect the value of their military generals. The military generals want to defend their country and conquer the barbarians from all directions, rather than fighting with each other and engaging in civil wars between the same clans!

In addition, this is the first time since Li Shimin became emperor, he did not personally lead troops to fight, and sent his confidant general to lead troops alone. In addition, he had to launch a war against foreigners, so this opportunity would be even more competitive.

Especially this time, there is a very perfect plan to completely wipe out the 200,000 troops of the Eastern Turks who went south to the border. This is the first great achievement of foreign wars since the founding of the Tang Dynasty!

Yuchi Jingde, who has made further breakthroughs in martial arts in the past six months, does not think that he is worse than Qin Shubao in the period of Quansheng. Moreover, he has just recovered from a serious illness and has recovered from his health. It is time for him to change his position as the number one general in the Tang army!

Over the years, Qin Shubao has been suppressed by force as the second general of the Tang Dynasty, which has made Yuchi Jingde, although he has a very good relationship with Qin Shubao, feel quite unwilling to accept it.

Just like the sports competitions in later generations, no matter if you stand out among tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even tens of millions, and eventually lose to the championship in the finals and rank second!

But many years later, most people will only remember who the champion was in that year's competition, and will no longer remember who the person who ranked second and won the runner-up was, unless there is obvious problems with that competition, people will be dug out from time to time to discuss, which makes people unable to completely forget!

Yuchi Jingde is now facing the situation of winning the runner-up. People know that Qin Shubao is the first general in the Tang Dynasty army, and the most powerful force is purely in the Tang Dynasty. He is the only winner of the title of "Shangguo Pillar" for the special military merit.

Who still remembers who the second general of the Tang Dynasty was? Even if Yuchi Jingde only defeated Qin Shubao with one move, his military power was much higher than Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji and others, and it was obvious that other generals had many of their opponents.

But ordinary people care the best, and the strongest ones are gone. Except for those that have obvious relationship with the second, otherwise who would care about how strong the second is, they would only think that the second is the same as the third, which is obviously not the same as the first!

This is a common consciousness among the people, the courts, and even the army. This makes the skill significantly higher than Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji and others, making everyone think that they are masters of the same level, Yuchi Jingde has always been quite resentful.

This time, Li Shimin left this opportunity to be famous for his eternity. He used to be stronger than him, but now he is not sure after he breaks through. Moreover, Qin Shubao, who has just been healthy, made Yuchi Jingde very dissatisfied!

Of course, this situation is not just Yuchi Jingde. Even if you and I are in the position of Yuchi Jingde, they are quite dissatisfied when they meet this, let alone Yuchi Jingde, who has a slightly irritable temper!

For example, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others have broad minds and excellent civil and military skills in the present. They are already destined to be famous in history and famous for all eternity. This time, they have all the ideas of taking Zhang Yang and replacing him. If it weren't for Zhang Yang's proposal, and Zhang Yang's plan would have been quite perfect when he proposed it!

In addition, they are now the elders of Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang is the son-in-law recognized by Emperor Li Shimin and the candidate for the future emperor's regent minister. This time, this time it was a training for him. So with so many factors, I was not embarrassed to ask Li Shimin to replace him and go to Lingzhou to express condolences, let alone generals like Yuchi Jingde.

Not to mention these ministers, even Li Shimin, the emperor and wise monarch who are destined to be famous for the future, have also been the first achievement of fighting against foreign races since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. This military achievements that can wash away the shame of the Tang Dynasty. However, in the end, the highest winner was his son-in-law, and now as the emperor, he was not convenient to go out!
