Chapter 119: Up and down, the six-way army

Wei Zheng, who had always opposed the Tang Dynasty's troops to attack Jie Li's troops, was silent at this moment.

He had realized that the reason why Li Er summoned so many civil and military officials into the palace to discuss this matter showed that Li Er's intention to attack Jie Li's troops was decided, and no one would object.

When Li Er heard that many ministers suggested sending troops to attack Jie Li's troops immediately, his face suddenly appeared with joy.

In fact, he had already decided in his heart to send troops to attack Jie Li's troops, but in order to get more support from ministers and to let some ministers who had opposing opinions know that sending troops to attack Jie Li's troops was not his own decision, but the decision of the ministers. Therefore, he specially discussed this matter with the ministers.

As long as most ministers suggested sending troops to attack Jie Li's troops, those ministers who held opposition had nothing to say.

Since we want to use troops to foreign tribes, the court must be united.

In war, it is not only the bravery, number of soldiers, nor the sharpness and sharpness of weapons, but also the logistics supply, and the military and civilians are united.

To sum up, in fact, the war is about national strength!

Now, the Tang Dynasty has the above conditions, and the conditions for the war to attack Jie Li are ripe.

What's more, all kinds of forces that were unfavorable to the court in the Tang Dynasty had been eradicated.

The internal troubles have been eliminated, and only external troubles remain.

If the Tang Dynasty wanted to stabilize and prosper, external troubles must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Li Er glanced at the ministers, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said aloud: "Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xue Wanche, Duan Zhixuan, Wei Xiaojie, Cheng Zhijie, Li Daozong, Zhang Baoxiang, Chai Shao, Qin Shubao, Li Ji, Zhang Gongjin, Gao Zongsheng, Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, Su Dingfang, Li Zaigu, Gongsun Wuda, Dugu Yanyun, Du Junchuo, Zheng Rentai, Li Mengchang, and the rest of the ministers can leave first."

So, the other ministers retreated from the hall.

Hearing that most of the ministers left by Li Er were military generals, Li Zaigu speculated that Li Er would officially appoint various commanders to attack Jie Li next.

However, he was a little surprised, why Li Er asked himself to stay.

Logically speaking, with your own qualifications, you cannot become a general who leads the army.

Even if Li Er wants to appoint himself as the general who commands the army, other ministers will definitely oppose it.

It’s not your turn to be senior.

Li Er cleared his throat and said majesticly: "After careful consideration and discussion with many ministers, I decided to divide the army into six groups to attack Jie Li's troops!"

When everyone heard this, they stared at Li Er tightly, each with serious expressions.

"Li Jing, Minister of War, Yuchi Jingde, Duke of E, and Su Dingfang, the commander of the Zhechong Prefecture of Kuang Daofu, obeyed the order!" Li Er glanced at Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde and Su Dingfang, and said loudly.

"I'm here!"

Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde and Su Dingfang immediately left the list.

"I ordered Li Jing to be the chief marching officer of Dingxiang Road, Yuchi Jingde, Duke of E, and Su Dingfang, the commander of Zhechong of Kuang Daofu, as the deputy commander, and lead the army from the middle to directly attack the Turkic Khanate in Yunzhong and Mayi!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, and Gao Zengsheng, the governor of Minzhou, obeyed the order!"

"I'm here!"

"I ordered Bingzhou Governor Li Jie to be the general manager of the marching in Tongmo Road, Zhang Gongjin, the general manager of the State Governor of Minzhou Governor Gao Zengsheng to be the deputy general manager, and led the eastern army to directly attack Jie Li's confidant areas and annihilate the main force of Jie Li's troops in one fell swoop!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Huazhou Governor Chai Shao, Duke Hu Guo Shubao obeyed the order!"

"I'm here!"

"I ordered Huazhou Governor Chai Shao to be the general manager of the Jinhedao marching, and Hu Guogong Qin Shubao to be the deputy general manager. Lead the army on the west road to advance along the Yellow River, echoing the main force led by Li Jing and Li Jie from the flanks, and encircling the main force of Jie Li's troops!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Li Daozong, Minister of Rites, and Zhang Bao, governor of Ganzhou, obeyed the order!"

"I'm here!"

"I ordered Li Daozong, the Minister of Rites, to be the chief marching officer of Datongdao, and Zhang Baoxiang, the governor of Ganzhou, to be the deputy chief marching officer. Lead the army from Lingzhou to advance northwest, attack the west of Jie Li's troops, and cut off the way for Jie Li's troops to escape west!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Youzhou Governor Wei Xiaojie, Duke Lu Cheng Zhijie obeys the order!"

"I'm here!"

"I ordered the Youzhou Governor Wei Xiaojie to be the general manager of the Heng'an Road, and the Duke of Lu Cheng Zhijie to be the deputy general manager, and lead the army to garrison the Youyun area and block the way for Jie Li's troops to escape east!"

"Abide by the order!"

"The Grand Governor of Lingzhou Xue Wanche, and the General of Zuo Xiaogu Duan Zhixuan obeyed the order!"

"I'm here!"

"I ordered the Grand Governor of Lingzhou Xue Wanche to be the chief marching officer of Changwu Dao, and the General Duan Zhixuan of Zuo Xiaowei to be the deputy chief steward. He led his army to attack the rear of Jie Li's troops through the northeast, and monitored the Tuli troops that had been surrendered to the Tang Dynasty not long ago!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Li Jing, Minister of War, obeyed the order!" Li Er's eyes fell on Li Jing.

"I am here!" Li Jing said solemnly.

"I specially ordered Li Jing, Minister of War, to be the chief marching officer, and the rest of the armies were controlled by Li Jing, Minister of War,!" Li Erdao.

"I received the order!" Li Jing bowed and said.

"Abide by the order!" the other ministers responded one by one.

Li Zaigu secretly admires Li Er's assignment of tasks!

Li Er deserves to be an emperor with great military achievements and has made perfect arrangements for the military commander!

In addition to this aspect, his skills in controlling people are also very good!

It should be noted that the marching general managers (commander commander) and deputy general managers (commander commander) of the six armies are not small roles.

They either made military achievements in the war when the Tang Dynasty founded, or they made military achievements in the war when the Tang Dynasty pacified the world and defeated the warlords!

The marching general manager and deputy general manager in various armies play a role that is both complementary and mutually restrictive.

Take Li Jing, the marching chief manager of the Central Army and Yuchi Jingde, the deputy chief manager, for example. Yuchi Jingde not only made great achievements, but also saved Li Er, but was also one of the generals in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. He was simply Li Er's confidant.

Not everyone can control a person like Yuchi Jingde. If he is placed under someone else, he will definitely not accept it and will not obey the command. If the war begins, it will be easy to get into trouble.

Looking at the Tang Dynasty, the only one who can control Yuchi Jingde is Li Jing.

Li Jing was more powerful than Yuchi Jingde in both military talent and contribution to the Tang Dynasty. In terms of military merit, Li Jing was one of the first and two of Li Jing were two of them.

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, the world was not yet determined, and various separatist forces in the north and south threatened the Tang Dynasty.

In the north, Li Er led his troops to pacify, while in the south, Li Jing mainly pacified.

Although the commander who pacified the south was Li Xiaogong on the surface, Li Yuan was not very proficient in military affairs, and "the responsibility of the three armies was to entrust Jing" and Li Jing had actually become the commander of the three armies.

After Li Jing pacified the separatist forces in the south, Li Yuan admired his military talents very much and exclaimed: "Li Jing was Xiao Xian and Fu Gong's terminal illness. None of the famous ancient generals Han Xin, Bai Qi, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing can compare with Li Jing!"

It was precisely because Li Er considered that Li Jing's military achievements were outstanding and everyone in the court refused to accept it, so he ordered Li Jing to be the chief marching officer and that all the marchs were controlled by him.

When the general Yuchi Jingde was arranged under Li Jing, Li Er considered the courage of Yuchi Jingde. Although the marshal's military talent was very powerful, he also needed a fierce general to kill the enemy general.

As for the arrangement between the marching general managers and the deputy general managers of other routes, Li Er also considered this.
