Chapter 285 Northern Expedition Deployment
The Ministry of War edict was basically the same as the Tuli Envoy's regiment. Not long after the postmen of the military letter sent the edict to the Grand Governor's Office, the Tuli Envoy entered Taiyuan City. It can be seen how fast they were, and they could catch up with the speed of the postmen at the postmen. After reading the military letter edict, Li Ke looked at the generals of the Governor's Office with a serious expression. The Governor's Office gathered with important generals such as Guo Xiaoke, Su Dingfang, Sun Erlang, Li Mengchang, Xu Jingzong, Liu Rengui, as well as Di Zhixun, and Li Yan, the governor's office, were also sitting on both sides.
"You have seen all the edicts of the military letter!" Li Ke said, "Father ordered me to send troops to lift the siege of the two Khans of Tuli in Youbei, which shows that he trusts and values our Bingzhou Governor's Office. Therefore, I hope that everyone will not let down my father's expectations for everyone."
"Don't worry, your highness, we will never let down the emperor's expectations of us!" The generals said, and Di Zhixun and Li Yan also said that the governor's office would have the right to cooperate with the governor's office. The reason why Li Ke said this was very obvious, that is, to tell everyone that if anyone dared to do anything bad in this, Li Ke would never give up easily. However, Li Ke's words were obviously directed at Guo Xiaoke and the old general of the governor's office. As for Li Mengchang and Sun Erlang, who surrendered to him, he was not included.
"Well! Since everyone has understood the will of the Ministry of War, I will order it now." Li Ke said in a deep voice, "Liu Rengui, I order you to be the vanguard of the Northern Expedition, and Sun Erlang as the deputy general. You two lead 15,000 troops from the right camp of the Bingzhou Cavalry and Infantry Army to Yunzhou immediately."
"No!" Liu Rengui and Sun Erlang immediately stepped out and replied.
"Su Lie!" Li Ke shouted.
"The last one will be here!" Su Dingfang said out of the list.
"Su Lie, I ordered the King to lead the Ghost Face Cavalry straight to Youzhou. After you arrive in Youzhou, you must take over all the troops and food in Youzhou, and wait for my next plan at any time." Li Ke said sternly, "If anyone dares to refuse to accept it, kill it without any hesitation!" Then, Li Ke took off his sword Yuanhong from his side and handed it to Su Dingfang, "You use this sword to deal with those who are dissatisfied. I will bear all the consequences afterwards."
"No!" Su Dingfang yelled. This was Li Ke's test of him, and he also had trust and respect for him. Su Dingfang knew. However, Li Ke's order scared the generals present. They did not expect that Li Ke would be so crazy that he could let Su Dingfang seize the power of the army and horses in Youzhou by force. However, seeing Li Ke's firm eyes and the determination shown by Su Dingfang, the generals began to feel relieved, thinking that Li Ke's orders were indeed in line with his current identity, but Su Dingfang's calmness and calmness surprised the generals. Even Liu Rengui had to admire Su Dingfang's courage and dared to accept such crazy orders as Li Ke.
"Li Mengchang, Xu Jingzong, you two led the Bingzhou Cavalry and Infantry Army's left camp to be responsible for escorting the food and grass sent to Chang'an to Taiyuan Daizhou and handing it over to Zhang Gongjin, and then immediately went north to Yunzhou to stand by!" Li Ke continued to order.
"I will obey the order!" Li Mengchang and Xu Jingzong set out.
"Guo Xiaoke!" Li Ke continued to order.
"The last one is here!" Guo Xiaoke stepped out.
"As soon as the battle between Bingzhou Army and the Turkic Jieli began, the issue of food, grass and supplies was the most critical link. I ordered you to be responsible for the army's food, grass and supplies together with the governor's office." Li Ke said, "Food and grass are only one-sided issues, and a more important issue, I have ordered that all the troops under the Bingzhou Grand Governor's Office be gathered in Taiyuan and to travel from Taiyuan to Daizhou and Yunzhou. Your main task in Taiyuan is to allocate troops and grass and ensure the source of troops in the front."
"I will understand!" Guo Xiaoke replied. Although Li Ke did not let him go to the front line, he gave him a heavy task and great power. This is his trust in him. Guo Xiaoke understands what Li Ke means.
"Tonghuai, cousin, I'll leave Taiyuan to you!" After Li Ke gave the order, he said to Di Zhixun and Li Yan beside him.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely guarantee the food and grass on the front line of the army." Di Zhixun replied.
"Don't worry, your highness, I will definitely handle the things in Bingzhou well." Li Yan also replied.
"Yeah!" Li Ke nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Everyone, since the father asked our Bingzhou Army to lift the siege of Tuli, then we will give Turk Jieli a little color this time, so that they can see our Bingzhou Army, and let the Turks see what real iron guards are."
"The Tang Dynasty will win! The Tang Dynasty will win!" shouted.
"You guys go down and prepare!" Li Ke said to everyone after he ordered, and then left Su Dingfang who was about to walk out of the door, "Dingfang, stay, I have something to say to you!"
Su Dingfang stayed, and when everyone left, Li Ke said, "The land of Youzhou is very important. I am not at ease to send others to me. Dingbo said that he did not have enough qualifications, so I can only let you go!"
"Your Highness, I will understand!" Su Dingfang replied.
"I asked you to lead the Ghost Face Cavalry just to shock them all levels of Youzhou. When you leave, you must take the heavy cavalry camp over there!" Li Ke said cautiously, "It is easy to rescue Tuli, but what about after the rescue? The father must set up a governor's office in Youzhou to control the surrendered Tuli Youbei land. If there is no powerful cavalry, it will be difficult to shock Tuli people!"
Li Ke's words were already obvious, that is, if Youzhou set up a governor's office, he would recommend Su Dingfang as the governor of Youzhou. After hearing Li Ke's words, Su Dingfang's expression was unrestrained, which made Li Ke very satisfied with his attitude.
"So, now you should understand the intention of this king to let you deal with those who do not obey you in Youzhou!" Li Ke smiled faintly, "When the Bingzhou army cleared the siege of Tuli, the Tang Dynasty will definitely have a battle with the Turks, and we must make good use of this opportunity."
"The last general understands! Please rest assured, Your Highness!" Su Dingfang replied.
"Yeah! Then you go down and rest!" Li Ke said.
When Su Dingfang left, Li Ke's face appeared with a smile. The war with the Turks was a good time for him to rise. If he missed this opportunity, he really didn't want to miss this opportunity. And in this most critical step, Su Dingfang seemed particularly important.
"Chen Qi!" Li Ke shouted.
"The last one is here!" Chen Qi suddenly appeared outside the door.
"I ordered the Wolf Cavalry Camp to prepare for the expedition and gather outside the city in the evening!" Li Ke ordered.
"No!" Chen Qi replied.
"In addition, have you gone to see if the Tuli mission has arrived in Taiyuan? If you arrive, please invite them to the Governor's Office. I want to see them." Li Ke ordered.
"No" Chen Qi received the order.
Li Ke looked at Chen Qi's back as he left, his face began to become very serious. He knew that the war between him and Jie Li had begun after he issued an order today. He had to participate in this battle with the Turks, he had to explain to the dead Suzhou people and to Li Shimin who trusted him.
