Great Tang Broom Star: Chapter 1137 Anxi, Anton

  Chapter 1137 Anxi, Anton

   Jia Ping'an 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."

   This chief executive is a nominal name at first glance, and the deputy chief executive, Jia Pingan, is in charge.

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

   "Soldiers and soldiers are 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 collar? 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. At this age, he will suffer with the army!

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

  In an instant, Jia Ping'an understood.

"yes."

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

  The crown prince is here, so he can naturally succeed to the throne.

   But Li Zhi has experienced the years when powerful ministers were in power, and he knows that if the prince lacks prestige, he will be easily ostracized and become a puppet.

  So he must plan ahead, and help the prince when he can still support it.

  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 let Li Hong supervise the country.

  Now that the Tang Dynasty is stable, if Li Zhi is seriously ill, he might let the prince supervise the country for a long time.

  Sister...

   Where's Sister?

  Assist the prince?

  Finally, 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 his posthumous 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 quite a lot, so she made Li Longji Li Hong's heir to inherit the son's incense. This was the rare tenderness of Wu Mei at that time.

  Later generations of history generally believe 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 the emperor.

  During this period, the issue 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, which is the so-called rectification of the original. 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 shouldn't have encountered those in history. With him, the history of Datang will turn around.

  Li Dan is gone.

  A sister’s path will also change, so Datang will lose countless internal conflicts.

  This Tang Dynasty!

   Jia Pingan had mixed feelings, and then he and the prince left together.

   After the others 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 very calm.

Wang Zhongliang was shocked, "At first, I was surprised, but later I was relieved... And then, it seemed to be like 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. eyes."

  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 for Goro. Goro was not in good health since he was a child, so he thought of many ways. Now that Goro is in good health, he has the greatest credit."

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

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

  Masked 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 young, so it's no wonder he has such affection."

   This is also the child Jia Pingan watched growing up!

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

  This uncle refers to Changsun Wuji.

   Later the queen came, and the husband and wife had a long secret discussion.

  Wang Zhongliang vaguely heard a word from the queen.

   "...If you don't form a party in peace, how can you be a powerful minister?"

  Wang Zhongliang thought about the eldest grandson Wuji back then, he was called a powerful man, and today's Li Yifu is just a little guy compared to him.

  At that time, Changsun Wuji was able to control the court. If he really wanted to make troubles, Li Zhi at that time could not stop him.

  In the imperial court, Jia Pingan's real friend was Xu Jingzong, but Xu Jingzong was the emperor's confidant. If Jia Pingan wanted to rebel, Xu Jingzong would 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."

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

  …

   "The crown prince is in command?"

   When the news spread, how many people were shocked.

   "Is it 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, I'm going with 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 just 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 is a supporter of the new learning, so naturally it will be the same.

  …

   Jia Pingan sits in the Ministry of War and continuously issues orders.

  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, as long as there is food, hurry up and transfer to Anxi!"

   "The army has the most food and grass. 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 Pingan is also building his own team.

   First of all, the history of the marching army.

   "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 keenly aware of the embarrassment that the generals of the Tang Dynasty had no successors, and he and Jia Pingan cooperated tacitly, with one suggestion, the other quickly agreed.

  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.

  50,000 troops have set off from various places.

   "No rally 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 government is strict, so you have to try."

  Jia Ping'an also thought about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

  Two small officials took a group of expropriated 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 there is no such soil now.

   "There are more Mo Dao hands."

  Army lieutenant generals like Mo Dao Shou the most is Jia Pingan.

  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!"

   This was known by the emperor, and he couldn't help laughing.

   "I am not the Emperor of Qin, nor Wu of the Han Dynasty. 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, the soldiers served under the command of a certain general for a long time. If the general has a heart, such as An Lushan, this person is ambitious, and he can naturally use various means to make the army his own private army.

   So, this is the best of times.

  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 pretend to be false.

   "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 it was a battle.

   Later Gao Yang giggled and said, "Maybe Lang Jun will jump on his horse again?"

I!

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

  …

   "It's time to 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 is busy recently."

  Xincheng sent someone to inquire about the news, but the result made her feel a little melancholy.

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

  She then went to Da Ci'en Temple.

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

   "I pray for peace."

  She knelt in front of 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.

   Jia Ping'an got two extra days off.

  The arrangement of the family is in order, and the boss vowed to take care of the house, 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 Fuchu.

   "Princess, Duke Zhao is here."

  Xincheng was overjoyed, raised his eyes, saw that the sun was shining outside the window, and 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 shy.

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 unhappy. How much do you want to think about it?" personal?"

  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.

   "Wake him up."

  Officials hurried into the room.

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

   "Prime Minister, the rescue 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."

   Immediately, civil and military officials came.

  A young man stands 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: "In this way, we should first investigate clearly. If Ashina Helu can still support it, Tubo should wait a little longer."

   "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, 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 can't do anything!"

"madness!"

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

   "Enough of Qinling."

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

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

  It can be said that he is 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 answer.

  Qin Ling retreated, 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 was silent.

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

  Lu Dongzan sighed slightly, feeling 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 disturb... We are very powerful, but our money and food are not as good as Datang's. They consume energy. We Possibly consumed?"

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

   "Originally, what I wanted was to take 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 it was resting and recuperating, watching the Tang Dynasty fighting everywhere..."

   Those were his most painful years.

   "The Great Tang cleared away the threat of Liaodong, and from now on it can focus on the Longyou Road. If it sends 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 troops of the Tang Dynasty are located, and they can gather quickly.

"We need a big victory, and this attack on Anxi looks 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 people." Qin Ling said proudly.

  Lu Dongzan took a sip of tea, moistening his dry throat, and was extremely happy in his heart.

   "As far as the Tang army is concerned, the attack on Anxi is a labor-intensive expedition. This 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 advantage, all the countries in the Western Regions are afraid of the Great Tang, but they have to deal with it. If the two countries go to war, most of the forces in the Western Regions will be on our side. This is Renhe."

   "The right time, the right place, and the right people, this battle...Tubo will surely win!"

  …

   Logical cities are trembling.

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

  Chen Wude quietly hid in the crowd of 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 also came.

  They rode their horses to the front of the army.

   Zamp said: "This battle must be won."

  Everyone cheered.

   Then Lu Dongzan spoke.

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

   As far as Datang is concerned, Anxi is in the west of Datang.

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