Great Tang Broom Star

Chapter 1137 Anxi, Anton

Jia Pingan was stunned.

"Prince?"

Li Zhi nodded, "The crown prince will be the general manager in this battle, and you will be the deputy chief manager."

At first glance, the chief manager is a nominal name, and the deputy chief manager, Jia Pingan, is in charge.

Once this battle is won, the prestige of the crown prince, the nominal chief executive, will increase.

"The sergeants and soldiers are all looking forward to the continued support of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty is wise."

The prince is still a supporter of the military, and this signal is very powerful.

"The prince is with the army."

"Cough cough cough!"

Isn't it remote? Jia Ping'an was almost coughed to death.

"Your Majesty, the prince is still young."

The eldest nephew will be the age of graduating from elementary school in later generations, and he will suffer with the army at this age!

Li Zhi shook his head, "It's time to go through it."

In an instant, Jia Pingan understood.

"yes."

The emperor's illness is lingering, so he will inevitably have many worries. The biggest worry is how the huge empire will be handed over if he dies suddenly.

The prince is here, so he can naturally succeed.

However, Li Zhi has experienced the years when a powerful minister was in power, and he knew that if the prince did not have enough prestige, he would be easily ostracized and become a puppet.

Therefore, he must plan ahead, and help the prince when he can still support himself.

Of course Jia Ping'an would not say...Your Majesty, you still have almost twenty years to live! We are not in a hurry.

In history, Li Zhi also liked to wander, and often asked Li Hong to supervise the country.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is stable, if Li Zhi's condition is serious, he might let the prince supervise the country for a long time.

Sister...

Where's sister?

To assist the prince?

In the end, the emperor abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor.

This is a very realistic calculation.

In history, because of Li Hong's early death, Li Zhi was devastated, and he pursued the posthumous title of "Emperor of Filial Piety".

If the eldest nephew has been around and is healthy, then history will definitely not go to the later stage.

After Wu Mei came to the throne, she also missed her son very much.

Li Longji was made Li Hong's heir, inheriting the son's incense. This was the rare tenderness of Wu Mei at that time.

Later history generally believes that Wu Mei's decision stimulated Li Longji's ambitions, and he began to spy on the throne of God, and finally ascended to the throne of emperor.

During this period, the question of Li Hong's status kept recurring. Li Dan moved the throne of his own brother Li Hong out of the Taimiao Temple and changed the name of the temple to Yizong. But after his own son Li Longji ascended the throne, for the sake of his orthodoxy, perhaps because he was grateful for the stimulation and help of Li Hong's heir, he changed the temple name of Yizong to the one given by Li Zhi and Empress Wu...

- Filial piety!

This child!

Jia Pingan looked at Li Hong with more relief in his eyes.

This child should not encounter those in history. With him, the history of Datang will turn around.

Li Dan is gone.

Sister's path will also change, so Datang will lose countless internal conflicts.

This Tang!

Jia Ping'an had mixed feelings, and then left with the prince.

After the people left, the emperor sat there, looking extremely lonely.

Wang Zhongliang stood thinking about something...

"How did Jia Pingan look before?"

The emperor's voice was calm.

Wang Zhongliang was shocked, "At first, I was surprised, but later I was relieved... and later, it seemed that... the slaves couldn't tell, just like... the last time the slaves came out of the palace, they saw a commoner looking at their son. That's the look."

This idiot!

Li Zhi said, "Help me out for a walk."

Two servants stepped forward and helped Li Zhi up.

The sun was shining outside the hall.

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"He watched Goro grow up, and I can feel his love and care for Goro. Goro's health was not good since he was a child, so he thought of many ways. Now Goro is in good health, and he has the greatest credit."

Wang Zhongliang really thought about it, "I remember when the crown prince was born, Zhao Guogong suggested that the servants should cover their faces..."

"That's covering your mouth and nose, you're ignorant."

A mask is a thief!

"yes."

Wang Zhongliang was ashamed.

"He always said that the prince should study less Confucianism, which coincides with me. I don't like how weak the prince is taught by Confucianism."

Li Zhi suddenly laughed, "He has been staring at the prince since he was a child, so it's no wonder he has such affection."

This is also the child Jia Pingan watched growing up!

"So I'm relieved, I just hope that he won't be the second uncle."

This uncle refers to Changsun Wuji.

Later, when the queen came, the husband and wife discussed secretly for a long time.

Wang Zhongliang vaguely heard the queen's words.

"...Ping An does not form a party, how can he be a powerful minister?"

Wang Zhongliang thought about the eldest grandson Wuji back then, he was a powerful man, but today's Li Yifu is nothing more than a punk.

At that time, Changsun Wuji was able to control the court. If he really wanted to make troubles, then Li Zhi couldn't stop him.

Jia Pingan's real friend in the court is Xu Jingzong, but Xu Jingzong is the emperor's confidant. If Jia Pingan wants to rebel, Xu Jingzong will never follow him.

No wonder!

Wang Zhongliang thought it over, turned around and ordered: "Next time Zhao Guogong enters the palace, please be more polite."

"Why?"

"Just because Zhao Guogong knows how to measure."

How many courtiers fell to the point of not knowing how to measure, such as Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others.

...

"The prince is in command?"

When the news spread, many people were shocked.

"Just remote control?"

Cui Chen asked.

Datang has this rule, use the clan, especially the prince to lead some important positions. There are also such precedents for being in command.

Lu Shunzai shook his head, "No, he followed the army."

Cui Chen was surprised, "Is such a young prince going to go to the army for experience?"

These old ghosts naturally knew that although the crown prince had the title of chief executive, it was only a title. This trip was to accumulate prestige, experience some military affairs by the way, and have a general understanding of the army.

"The emperor's body is hard to tell, so this is the meaning of taking precautions."

Lu Shungui explained the emperor's intention in one sentence.

"This emperor can be regarded as decisive." Wang Sheng said quietly: "He is training the crown prince. If the crown prince has trained well, even after he falls, the Tang Dynasty will still be able to be orderly, follow the steps, and continue the current direction. Walk."

go straight!

Cui Chen froze for a moment, "Keep going, the life of the gentry will only become more and more difficult."

The emperor suppressed the gentry, and the prince was a supporter of the new learning, so naturally it would be the same.

...

Jia Pingan sat in the Ministry of War and issued orders continuously.

The three provinces have also entered a high-paced working state.

The household department is the busiest.

"The old man only needs food!"

Dou Dexuan yelled and scolded all day long.

"Yeah, I just need food, hurry up and transfer to Anxi!"

"The food and grass in the army are the first, and the soldiers have nothing to eat, so the old man will throw you to Anxi, and let the soldiers eat you alive!"

The household department is busy working together, and Jia Ping'an is also forming his own team.

The first is the history of the marching commander.

"It's still Li Jingye."

Li Jingye's stick is a civil servant, and it is not appropriate to suddenly become a sub-general manager. Jia Ping'an is still trying to save the country with curves, and he is given the name of a marching commander.

The emperor was very keenly aware of the embarrassment of the generals of the Tang Dynasty who had no successors, and they cooperated with Jia Ping'an tacitly, with a suggestion and a quick agreement.

So those generals who later shone in the annals of history all entered the army of the Western Expedition.

Pei Xingjian, Cheng Mingzhen, Wang Fangyi...

Two veterans served as Jia Ping'an's assistants in this battle.

Gao Kan and Liu Renyuan.

An army of 50,000 has set out from all over the place.

"No assembly required."

Jia Pingan said: "The government soldiers drawn from various places gather on the basis of the state, and then the government soldiers of each state are designated to assemble at a certain place according to the geographical distance, and finally the army will meet on the road."

Li Ji couldn't help but opened his eyes and asked, "If it's scattered..."

"The military discipline of the Tang Mansion is strict, you have to try."

Jia Pingan also thought about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Two small officials took a group of confiscated civilians to the frontier to guard the frontier. On the way, they encountered heavy rain and delayed the schedule. The Qin law was severe, and the group simply rebelled.

But now there is no such soil.

"Modao hands need more."

The most popular general in the army is Jia Ping'an.

Even the emperor knows this.

"give him!"

The emperor was very generous, and he responded to every request during such a national war.

Jia Ping'an was so embarrassed, he went into the palace and said to Sister A: "Sister, should I learn from Wang Jian and write memorials later to ask for some money and land?"

"roll!"

The emperor knew this and couldn't help laughing.

"I'm not Emperor Qin, nor Han Wu, I just want to do meritorious service."

Datang is a government military system, and it is more difficult for generals to rebel than to go to the sky. The follow-up government military system was difficult to continue, and it became a recruitment system, which gave those ambitious people a hotbed of rebellion.

Under the Fubing system, the army was scattered all over the place. Assemble before the war, and go back to each family after the war, each looking for his own mother, the generals can't control the army.

Under the recruitment system, soldiers served under the command of a certain general for a long time. If the general had a heart, such as An Lushan, this person was ambitious, and he could naturally use various means to make the army his own private army.

So, this is the best time.

Have to make arrangements at home.

Gao Yang also had to make arrangements.

"Don't take Dalang to the banquet."

Jia Pingan didn't want his son and those people to make false claims.

"A child must have his own friends!" Gao Yang felt that Jia Ping'an was becoming more and more weird, "Xiao Jia, are you old?"

I!

Then there was a battle.

Later Gao Yang chuckled and said, "Mr. Lang might jump on his horse again?"

I!

Jia Ping'an said sternly, "I'll spare you today."

...

"Let's go."

Xincheng looked at the blue sky, "I think it will be the same when I come to Anxi."

"It is said that Zhao Guogong has been busy recently."

Xincheng sent people to inquire about the news, but the result made her a little sad.

"I know... When Aye was going to conquer Goryeo, he was so busy that I couldn't even meet him."

She then went to the Great Mercy Temple.

Zhike monk bowed his head, "Where is the princess?"

"I pray for peace."

She knelt before the Buddha statue and prayed devoutly.

Everything is ready, but it depends on the day.

Uncle Li entered the palace again.

"I see that it will be just right in two days."

Uncle Li pretended to be a ghost, and said that he would leave in two days.

As a result, Jia Pingan got two more days off.

The arrangement of the family was settled, and the boss vowed to take care of the house, and Jia Pingan agreed with a smile.

"Aye, I will do things for Niang."

Doudou looks very diligent, but looking at Suho... Jia Ping'an thinks it's useless.

He quietly left Daodefang.

Xincheng is copying scriptures in the mansion.

"Princess, Duke Zhao is here."

Xincheng was overjoyed, raised his eyes, saw the sunshine outside the window, couldn't help praising: "This is the world."

Jia Pingan came in in a hurry, and smiled when he saw the scriptures: "But who are you praying for?"

Xincheng was silent.

Jia Pingan waved his hand, Huang Shu and others resigned.

"Xiao Jia..."

Xincheng was still ashamed.

Jia Pingan embraced her and said: "After this battle, the situation of the Tang Dynasty will be better than ever. The crown prince joined the army, and his prestige has greatly increased after returning, so the court is stable... The world is good, but you are depressed. How can you think of it?" How many people?"

Xincheng blushed, "We'll talk about it when you come back."

Jia Pingan came out of the princess mansion, looked at the bright eyes, and said: "This is the best time!"

...

"The Turks were defeated."

The news quickly spread to Luoxi City, and the messenger fell down as soon as he finished speaking.

"Rescue him."

The officer hurried into the room.

Lu Dongzan put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, "I heard it."

"Prime Minister, treatment is underway outside, and I will ask about the details of the battle after I wake up."

"No need."

Lu Dongzan let go of his hand, "This defeat, even if Ashina Helu escaped, he would lose his righteousness, and the Turkic people would abandon him. Then all the forces fought for the position of Khan, Turkic five years later There is no way to threaten Datang. With these five years, Li Zhi will not sit idly by, but will stare at Tubo and weaken Tubo in every way. We can't wait."

Then all the civil and military officials came.

A young man is standing on the side, which is the first position of Lu Dongzan's lower head.

Lu Dongzan said simply: "Ashina Helu was defeated, and the situation of the battle is unknown."

A civil official said: "This is how to investigate first. If Ashina Helu can still support, Tubo should wait."

"Yes." Another civil servant agreed. "We should wait."

Lu Dongzan frowned slightly.

As a power minister, he has been clearing out his opponents all these years, and so far, he has taken control of the situation.

But it is unrealistic to say that there is no one who opposes it. In fact, there are many people who oppose it, but those people are temporarily dormant, as if they really surrendered to the Ludongzan family.

The young man's brows became more unswerving, "What are you waiting for? Ashina Helu has been beaten into a wild dog by the Tang Dynasty for many years, and has long lost his prestige. After this defeat, Turkic will either abandon this person or become a The sheep on the prairie have no fighting spirit anymore. Could such a Turk hold Datang in check?"

He took a step forward with piercing eyes, "Where will the great Tang army go without the Turks? Don't think that Li Zhi will let his army go back to farming, he will stare at Tubo."

Someone said: "We are in the highlands, they have nothing to do!"

"madness!"

The contempt in the young man's eyes made people feel humiliated, "Datang only needs to nibble away step by step, and he will be able to block us on the high ground, and then we will become turkeys in the urn."

"That's enough, Qinling."

Lu Dongzan said softly, but his eyes were full of appreciation.

This is his son Qin Ling, the most outstanding one.

He can be called an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, so that sometimes he can't help but be arrogant, saying that his family is favored by God, and he has such an outstanding son.

Qin Ling frowned and continued: "If we don't move, Datang will move, and then the morale of the army will be dissipated. Besides, Datang has been immigrating to Anxi in a steady stream in recent years. In time, it will become the strongest place in Datang. Fortress, they can even conscript government soldiers there! At that time, how will Tubo attack Anxi?"

No one answered.

Qin Ling retreated back, and finally said: "This battle is going to be fought, the later the fight, the better for Datang, and the more fully prepared they are."

"enough!"

Lu Dongzan stopped him, and then said: "There is news from Chang'an that Li Zhi ordered the poor and landless to go to Anxi to enrich the population. In just ten years, Anxi will become an indestructible city. By then, we will We can only attack Tuyuhun, are you sure?"

Everyone is silent.

Qin Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at his father, "I'm sure!"

Lu Dongzan sighed slightly in his heart, feeling that he was getting old.

"If we attack Tuyuhun, Datang will have a direction to attack. They will continuously mobilize the army to gather in Longyou Road, and then not only attack and harass... We are very powerful, but our money and food are not as good as Datang's. They consume energy, We might spend it?"

War is never just an indicator of the combat effectiveness of the army. There are many issues to be considered in the national war.

"It turned out that what I wanted was to take down Tuyuhun, so that I could face the Tang Dynasty directly, threaten their Longyou Dao, and cut off the Hexi Corridor at any time."

Talking about the plan back then, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but look sad, "But the 100,000 army was wiped out once, and then they just rested and recuperated, watching the Tang Dynasty fight everywhere..."

Those were his most painful years.

"The Great Tang cleared away the threat from Liaodong, and from now on we can focus on the Longyou Dao. If we send troops again, it will not be good for me if the Great Tang can mobilize a large army nearby for reinforcements."

Longyou Road is relatively close to Guanzhong, where the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can gather quickly.

"We need a big victory, and this attack on Anxi seems like an expedition, but Datang is farther than us, thousands of miles away. It is difficult for them to transport food and supplies, and it is difficult to transport personnel supplies. This is our geographical advantage. I have some I'm thirsty, Qinling, tell me."

"This battle is a national war, and what the national war emphasizes is the right time, place, and harmony between people." Qin Ling said proudly.

Lu Dongzan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, which was not coughing, and was extremely happy in his heart.

"Attacking Anxi is an expedition for the Tang army, which is a favorable location. At the right time, our soldiers can endure hardships and adapt to the climate of the Western Regions..."

Qin Ling said confidently: "As for the geographical advantages, all the countries in the Western Regions are afraid of the Great Tang, but they have to deal with the Great Tang. If the two countries go to war, most of the Western Regions will be on our side. This is Renhe."

"With the right time, place and people, this battle... Tubo will definitely win!"

...

Some cities are trembling.

The footsteps of countless sergeants shook the ground, slowly gathering outside the city.

Chen Wude quietly hid among the spectators, with a dignified expression.

Zheng Yang is on the other side, the same is true.

Boundless army!

Moreover, a large number of people left in the past few days. They set off from the morning until the next day...

This is a national war!

This idea appeared in the minds of Chen Wude and Zheng Yang at the same time.

Lu Dongzan is here.

Zamp came too.

They rode up to the army.

Zamp said: "This battle must be won."

The crowd cheered.

Then Lu Dongzan spoke.

He said lightly: "After this battle, Anxi will be renamed Anton!"

For Datang, the land of Anxi is in the west of Datang.

For Tubo, Datang is in the east of Tubo...
