Chapter 267 Tang Dynasty is ready to steal home
The war in the world was very fierce, and now only the two countries, Wei and Tang dynasties, were left to swim. They did not react just to see who could laugh to the end.
Not only that, behind Liu Bei's expedition to the Wu Kingdom was not just Liu Bei's order, but behind him was a large group of Tang Dynasty officials supporting the Shu army to attack the Wu Kingdom's border.
"Your Majesty, what should we do if Liu Bei really attacked the Wu Kingdom?" Prime Minister Wei Zheng asked in confusion.
Li Shimin, sitting on the dragon throne, smiled and said, "I sent an order to all troops across the country to gather on the northern border, so that we will not attack Shu. Shu is our ally, and we cannot break our trust in the other party. Since the other party has almost defeated Wu, we have to take action."
After hearing Li Shimin's orders to gather in the northern border, everyone realized that Li Shimin was going to attack the empty Qin State behind him.
Li Shimin usually doesn't say anything, but in fact he feels bad. Not only that, Li Shimin ordered the Shence Army to gather near the northern border five days ago to set up a camp, and could send troops anytime and anywhere.
General Su Lie came over and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, Dingfang is willing to be the vanguard and fight in Qin!"
So, the famous scene that everyone liked to see came out. Li Jing, who was standing next to Su Lie, saw him running out to ask for a fight, and he also planned to grab the vanguard.
Not only did Li Jing come out, but Qin Qiong and Wang Xiaojie also came out. They both wanted to take on the position of vanguard, but Wang Xuance was not interested in their fights, because he was a diplomat, and when he destroyed Tianzhu, he was so angry.
He is not unaware of what kind of country Qin is. Common people can be regarded as an ordinary soldier. If Wang Xuance goes up to make trouble, he will not only fail to cause any losses to the other party, but also make himself suffer.
"Cheng Zhijie, Li Jing and Li Ji, you three are head coached by Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie and Li Ji are deputy coaches, Yuchi Gong is vanguard, Su Lie is deputy vanguard, Wang Xuance and Gao Xianzhi are vanguards, Li Xiaogong, Guo Ziyi and Hou Junji on the border can all be dispatched for you!" Li Shimin pointed at the person facing the hall while pointing at the opposite person.
These generals were all first-class generals of the Tang Dynasty, and these generals had made great achievements in the war. Some generals had led their troops to destroy a country alone, some were on their own, and some saved the fate of the Tang Dynasty.
After Li Shimin finished the order, he clicked their generals and said, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's entrusted!"
Some idle generals were a little unhappy, one was Geshuhan and the other was Wang Xiaojie. Geshuhan guarded Tongguan back then, but knew that he could not beat the other party, but was forced to fight by Li Longji. As a result, he died when he went there and wanted to avenge him.
Wang Xiaojie was surrounded by Jie Li Khan and was finally killed in the battle. This was a regret for his life, so he must not be missing in this battle.
"Your Majesty, we'll ask for a fight!" The two of them said with some guilt when they stood in front of Li Shimin.
When their past was revealed, Li Shimin pity them, so he let them serve as deputy generals of the left and right vanguards respectively, and must abide by military rules and must not disrupt military discipline.
After arranging the generals to go to war, Li Shimin called Shen Ce Army again, asking them to meet with Guo Ziyi, who was guarding the border, and told them that they were about to fight with Qin, so that they could prepare early.
After arranging the personnel of the generals to go to the expedition, there was no candidate for the grain supervisor who transported the food and grass. Du Fu, who was usually more Buddhist, was so proactive.
"I am willing to serve as the governor of the grain, please consider your majesty!"
However, since some people want to be, then some people want to rob the position of the grain supervisor. Li Bai suddenly jumped out and said that Du Fu should rest. He had just returned to China and served as the Minister of Rites before he made a contribution. This really made people feel ashamed.
Therefore, Li Bai also wanted to rob the position of the grain supervisor, but not only Li Bai wanted to rob, but Han Yu also jumped out. He also wanted to go to the front line to serve as the grain supervisor. Now Li Shimin was helpless. He knew that many talented people in the Tang Dynasty emerged, but he didn't expect so many.
"Okay, okay, I see that you have fought so hard and there is no result. You can get lots, go and those who have caught them, and those who have not caught will stay in China for logistics." Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly asked Wei Zheng to go over and write one for them. Yao Chong and Song Jing on the side wanted to raise their hands, but they were caught by Di Renjie on the side.
After they switched from Tang to Wuzhou's regime, they were destined to have no big say in this country. Moreover, these heroes from the early Tang Dynasty remained the same. If they stood up, they would definitely be hated.
"Huaiying, there is a grain supervision officer in this battle, but it needs to be rushed to make weapons, so you will supervise the weapons. Within one month, you will build a hundred artillery for the front-line battlefield, and you can choose whatever craftsmen will do." Li Shimin called Di Renjie, who bowed his head and said nothing, and asked him to supervise the artillery.
Yao Chong and Song Jing were standing below and were a little unbelievable. Di Renjie was all going to work on the front line, where were they busy?
Soon, Li Shimin called Yao Chong and Song Jing again and asked them to serve as the Sima of the Army respectively. They just did some clerical work and conveyed the war report to him anytime and anywhere.
"Zhang Jianzhi, you are responsible for the transfer work of the front line and the country, and the important logistics responsibilities will be handed over to you." Li Shimin called Zhang Jianzhi and asked him to serve as a logistics officer. The entire front line logistics work was handed over to him.
Everything has been settled. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Li Shimin asked them to clarify their responsibilities and tasks. After confirming that they are correct, the whole country will be ready to fight at any time from now on.
"Okay, everyone is in the state. Starting today, all the officials and craftsmen across the country are put into preparation for combat against Qin. I look forward to your victory." Li Shimin stood up and said with confidence to the officials in front of him.
"Abide by the order!"
After the ministers retreated, Wu Zetian also walked in. She was a little confused. Why did she launch an attack on Qin so early? You should know that although the Tang Dynasty's strength was very strong compared with other countries, if you attack Qin at this critical moment, Ying Zheng would have a high chance of turning against him.
Moreover, Qin State mainly focuses on the policy of military force across the country. If the other party is really forced into anger, the people may also be involved in this war.
"When is it your turn to speak? Now is not your era. Your era has passed, and it is useless to say more." Li Shimin said to Wu Zetian with some contempt.
