Since the Western Han Dynasty general Huo Qubing led his army to defeat the Huns and held a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven on Langjuxu Mountain, sealing Langjuxu has always been the highest ideal in the hearts of the military generals in the Central Plains. The situation in the Tang Dynasty is very similar to that in the Western Han Dynasty, because there is a powerful unified regime on the grassland, which has caused the Central Plains dynasty to be threatened by the grassland nomadic peoples.

It is precisely because of this that almost every aspiring and visionary general of the Tang Dynasty dreams that one day, like Huo Qubing, he will step on the royal court in the south of the desert, and his troops will be approached by the vast sea. As long as he can do this, he will definitely be famous in history and will be admired by later generations when he mentions his name.

Li Jing was born into a family of officials, with both literary talent and martial arts. In other words, he was better known than ordinary generals. Even though he felt that Li Shimin's plan was a bit risky, he still refused to let go of the opportunity to go to the Turks, but in the end he made his own request.

"Pharmacist, you just say it's okay. As long as I can agree, I will definitely support it with all my strength!" Li Shimin saw Li Jing agreeing to lead the troops, and immediately sat upright and smiled. Generals usually make their own requests when they go out to fight. After all, on the battlefield, they need to use troops flexibly, so they usually require absolute command of the army and not be disturbed by the rear. Li Shimin also understands this very well, after all, he is a general.

However, Li Xiu felt something was wrong at this time, because when Li Jing made a request, he actually looked at him first, which was a bit abnormal. After all, since Li Jing came in, he never looked at him again except for the first time. Moreover, Li Xiu always felt that Li Jing's gaze had a somewhat unpredictable look?

"Report to Your Majesty, if you send troops now, the front army will go deep into the grassland to attack. In this way, the supply in the rear will become particularly important. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to send an important official to take charge of the rear to ensure that the supply can be smooth no matter what the situation is encountered!" Li Jing said to Li Shimin solemnly.

"It turned out to be this request, and this is also due, but this important official candidate..." Li Shimin first smiled in agreement when he heard Li Jing's request, but at the end of the conversation, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

This attack on the Turks was related to the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty. As Li Jing said, when the army penetrated deep into the grassland, the support for supply in the rear would become particularly important. Therefore, the person who was in charge of the rear should not only have the ability, but also have prestige. Even if the army in the front puts forward some unreasonable demands, this person would also have to subdue other people to satisfy the army in the front. At the same time, with this person in charge of the rear, other officials in the rear would not dare to drag Li Jing down. There are probably very few people who can meet these conditions.

"Your Majesty, why not let me help Li Shangshu stay in the back!" At this moment, I suddenly saw Changsun Wuji step forward and said, "He is indeed the most suitable candidate. He can meet Li Jing's requirements in terms of ability and prestige. Moreover, with Changsun Wuji's current status, there is absolutely no other official dare to delay the front line."

"No, I still need you to be in charge of the court. After all, when the army moves, the country will definitely be empty. I am worried that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble. In addition, the army consumes a lot of money every day, and someone in the court also needs to be dispatched. I need your assistance all of these!" Li Shimin immediately refused when he heard Changsun Wuji's words.

During the war, Li Shimin could not live without Changsun Wuji. Moreover, a national war like this would definitely mobilize the national strength to supply the front-line army. Therefore, people like Changsun Wuji were also needed in the court to take charge. This would make him go to the north. Even if Li Shimin had Fang Xuanling and others around him, he still felt unable to bear it.

"This..." Changsun Wuji also showed a hesitant expression when he heard Li Shimin's words. He also knew that if he left Chang'an, Li Shimin could only bear the pressure in the court alone, but besides himself, there was probably only one person who could meet Li Jing's conditions!

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Xiu next to him, because if he couldn't go, then only Li Xiu would be the only one. In fact, not only did he think about this, but even Li Shimin had the same idea, so he also looked at Li Xiu.

Li Xiu felt something was wrong just now. Now seeing Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji all looked at him, they didn’t understand what they meant? But he didn’t want to run to the battlefield. First, he was afraid of danger, not that he was timid, but that he was not alone now, but that there was a whole family behind him. If something really happened to him, what should Princess Pingyang and the Yi Niang do? Second, when he thought of helping Li Jing, he felt an indescribable awkward feeling in his heart, so he was even more reluctant to take on this matter.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that when Li Xiu faced the hopeful gaze of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, he ignored it at all. Finally, he simply raised his head and looked at the roof of Liangyi Hall, as if flowers had grown on the beam on the top.

"Well~ Li Xiu, I think this matter is the most suitable. I wonder what you think?" Li Shimin suddenly asked with a shameless face. He naturally knew what Li Xiu was thinking. If it were anything else, he would not force Li Xiu, but the fact of attacking the Turks was too important, and logistics was the top priority. In addition to Changsun Wuji, only Li Xiu was more suitable.

Of course, Li Xiu could also replace Changsun Wuji into the court, and then let Changsun Wuji assist Li Jing in managing logistics. However, Li Xiu has always been away from the court and is not familiar with government affairs. He may not be able to replace Changsun Wuji for a while. On the contrary, coordination of logistics is more suitable for Li Xiu. Even if he doesn't understand much, Li Shimin can send some capable officials to assist him.

"Your Majesty, I have never managed logistics, nor have I had experience in this area. I know nothing about military affairs, and it is of great importance to attack the Turks. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to send an experienced important official to take charge so that nothing can go wrong!" Li Xiu heard Li Shimin speak on his own initiative, but immediately refused.

"Li Xiu, you don't need to experience and do your own things. At that time, the court will send special officials to help you. You only need supervision. And with you in charge, the officials in the rear dare not be perfunctory. This will ensure the smooth supply, so you don't have to worry about experience at all!" As soon as Li Xiu finished speaking, Changsun Wuji immediately spoke.
