Chapter 378

Qin Lang felt that he had robbed Li Jing of the Duke of Wei.

Although the emperor had no intention of conferring titles to Li Jing as Duke, Qin Lang still felt a little embarrassed. So the court in Liangyi Hall discussed the plan to use Jie to use troops again.

Qin Lang stood up.

"I think this battle can be fought, but lions fight rabbits must also do their best. The court must not take it lightly. Jie Li is not as strong as Liang Shi, and his strength is still very fierce. The court not only needs to make overall planning and deployment before the war, but also needs an experienced general to take charge and coordinate the command on the front line."

"Does Sanlang want to recommend himself?"

Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the crown prince's grand tutor, and Zhao Duke Changsun Wuji asked with a smile. When Qin Lang was the prime minister for a hundred days last time, Changsun Wuji only served as the crown prince's grand tutor. Now Qin Lang has been in court for the second time, but Changsun Wuji is still the crown prince's grand tutor.

Now Changsun looked at Qin Lang. He felt a little bit like the waves in the Yangtze River pushing the waves in the front, and the waves in the front were being photographed on the beach. The young man was terrifying. Although he was only twenty-six this year, only eight years older than Qin Lang. But he always felt that he was also a veteran who started a business with Li Shimin and was not something that a young man like Qin Lang could mention.

"Duke Zhao praised me, who had never commanded the army or fought. How could he dare to recommend himself to command the Northern Expedition? I want to recommend one person, who has rich combat experience and outstanding command skills, and is highly respected in the army, and can convince the generals!"

"Do you want your son to recommend your father?"

Wei Zheng jumped out again.

Qin Lang curled his lips speechlessly. Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng were such a mess. He wanted to pull him into an alliance back then. Unexpectedly, this guy is staring at him all day long. Although it's just about business, it feels bad.

"It is not an exaggeration to recommend my father even if he recommends his father. His father was in charge on the front line of the northern border of the Seitan region. However, his father was injured and did not want to delay major affairs in the court, so he did not care about fame, power and position. He had already resigned from all positions and devoted himself to rest at home." Qin Lang said to the emperor, "I want to recommend the Duke of Yongkang County, Li Yaoshi of Shangzhu Kingdom."

Once this name was released, no one refuted it.

After all, Li Jing's achievements were there. When the Tang Dynasty was still fighting in the north, Li Jing assisted Li Xiaogong to first settle Bashu, then pacify Jiangling, then go down the river and go straight to Yangjiang, pacify the entire Jiangnan, and then lead his army into Lingnan and conquer the entire Lingnan area in half a year.

Half of the Tang Dynasty's territory was built by Li Jing's help.

After pacifying Jiangnan, Li Jing served as the chief of the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office, the general manager of the Bingzhou marching, and the governor of Lingzhou. They all performed outstandingly and repeatedly defeated the Turks.

Li Jing had long proved that Jiang was still old with his true skills. He could not only deal with the anti-king heroes in Jiangnan and Lingnan, but also deal with the Turks in the northern region, but also without any problem.

Li Jing’s ability is nothing to say.

Even Li Shimin had to admit that Li Jing was not weaker than him in military use, and was even more old and sicker than him. Li Shimin believed that he was good at using military use, and was good at using strange and dangerous, while Li Jing was also good at using strange and dangerous, but Li Jing had a strong overall view of the situation. This was the ability that the generals of the original Tiance Prefecture lacked.

Whether it is Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Duan Zhixuan and Cheng Yaojin, they are all very good at fighting, but when it comes to command, no one is better than Li Jing.

Qin Qiong has made some improvements in strategic vision in the past two years, but he is still not as good as Li Jing.

If the court really needs to be compared with Li Jing, it is Li Ji, the chief of the Bingzhou Grand Governor's Office, Li Daozong in the royal family, and Qin Lang, who are all terrifying young people and the best among the younger generation.

However, compared to Li Jing, he is still a little tender.

"Your Majesty, I think I have to make multiple plans to fight Jie Li. We must not only have the A plan, but also the B plan, and even the C-D plan. If we want to fight, we have to win and be sure of everything. Even if we are now in the Tang Dynasty, we cannot afford a big defeat, otherwise the situation in the north may reverse."

"Although the imperial court has now established the Anbei Protectorate, if you want to attack Jieli, you have to mobilize multiple governors' offices such as Youzhou, Bingzhou, Anbei, Liangzhou, Lingzhou, Yanzhou, etc., and have to go out to attack multiple routes and achieve their contributions in one battle."

"When it comes to the entire northern border, several major governors' offices and governors' offices must choose a general who can control these thousands of miles of fronts. I think it is General Li Jing!"

"I recommend General Li Jing to take charge, and then Niu Jinda, Su Dingfang, Dou Hongxian out of Youzhou, Li Ji, Zhang Gongjin, Yuan Xiaozheng out of Yanmen Pass, Li Daliang, Huang Junhan, Duan Decao, Li Zihe out of Hetao, Chai Shao and Xue Wanche out of Hexi, and sent troops from all directions to surround Jie Li in one fell swoop, eat him, and not give him a chance to escape back to Mobei!"

Li Shimin's Zhenguan Dynasty and the core civil and military teams were actually very young.

This is a new team that grabs power. The emperor is less than thirty, most of the prime ministers are about thirty, and many generals are only thirty or forty years old. Such a team is full of enterprising spirit.

When Li Jing, who is almost 60 years old, he really looks respected and has high qualifications.

Li Shimin smiled and did not agree immediately, nor did he object. He agreed with Qin Lang's saying that Li Jing was so capable, but Li Jing was not his confidant. He had less than two years of mutiny and had eliminated many opposition parties, but he was still a little afraid of powerful generals like Li Jing and Li Ji, and he did not dare to grant important military power.

"I am willing to guarantee General Li Jing and ensure that he is the commander, so that he can defeat Jie Li and pacify the Turks."

Qin Lang said everything, and Li Shimin couldn't help but be moved.

Li Shimin actually always wanted to lead the army in person, but unfortunately, every time he revealed his thoughts a little, they would be immediately ruthlessly extinguished by the ministers.

Not to mention that a big troll like Wei Zheng criticized him mercilessly, even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui would never agree. Company Chief Sun Wuji always directly and firmly opposes it.

After all, it is not the era of the Qin King, so how can the emperor be in charge of the emperor?

Yang Guang of the previous dynasty liked to be the emperor in person, but in the end he was useless in the war and led to several major defeats.

The personal expedition to Goguryeo and did not delegate power to the generals, which led to the capture of Liaodong City but was not taken down, and even resulted in the disappearance of the entire army that attacked Pyongyang City.

There was also a northern tour of Yanmen Pass, surrounded by Shibi's surprise attack, which caused the Sui army to be extremely passive.

The emperor's personal mission would definitely be the worst idea.

A great power war cannot be fought just by fighting. The court planned to launch an attack after the autumn, so there was still more than half a year, but there were many preparations to be made in the early stage.

For example, if you want to attack Jie Li, you must attack from multiple ways.

To select generals, we must recruit soldiers from the government, dispatch imperial guards, etc., we must mobilize food and grass and transport them to the front-line base.

When everything is ready, it will be almost over after autumn.

This may even affect the summer harvest.

The main reason is that in this era, whether it is communication, transportation, or military gathering, it is too time-consuming.

Before, Qin Lang used troops in the northern border areas, and they were all taking risks and strange things. They were all border troops, with a small number and quick action, so they didn't need to be summoned from all over the world, etc.

What's more, if the court wants to defeat Jie Li, it has to fight for Tiele from the north of the Mo and Xi Qi from the northeast. At least, they have to prevent them from getting involved in helping Jie Li.

The issue of Jie using his troops has been discussed for too long. The center has decided to send troops to attack. After the autumn, he is hesitant about the candidates to command the troops.

Now Qin Lang is trying to overcome all odds and wants to guarantee Li Jing.

Li Shimin thought about it for a long time, but finally made up his mind.

"He appointed Li Jing as the Minister of War, was granted the title of Duke of Dai, and was appointed as the chief general of the military commander of Dingxiang Road. Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, was appointed as the deputy commander of the central army."

"Li Ji, the chief of the Grand Governor's Office of Bingzhou, was the chief marching officer of Tongmo Road, and Huang Junhan was the deputy general and commanded the left army."

"The governor of Huazhou, Chai Shao, Duke of Huo, was the general manager of the Jinhedao army, Duan Decao was the deputy general, commanded the Right Army, and advanced along the Yellow River."

"Li Daozong, the Minister of Rites, Prince of Jiangxia, was the general manager of Datongdao Army, and Zhang Baoxiang was the deputy, and advanced from Lingzhou to the northwest."

"Li Daliang, the chief of the Anbei Protectorate, was the chief marching officer of Changwudao, and Xue Wanche was the deputy general. He attacked the rear of the Turks through Langshankou."

"The General of the Right Wu Guard, Cheng Yaojin, Duke of Lu, is the general manager of the marching in Heng'an Road, and Niu Jinda, the chief of the Youzhou Grand Governor's Office, is the deputy general, guarding the Yanyun area and preventing Jie Li from fleeing from the east!"

Li Shimin made arrangements.

"A total of six northern expedition troops were deployed, and more than 100,000 troops were all subject to the Jiedu of Li Jing."

"Duke of Wei, participated in the politics of Qin Lang, and was in charge of the national economy of Pingzhang, responsible for the logistics, food, grass and military equipment dispatch and transfer."

"Kaifu Yi and the three departments, Zhao Duke Changsun Wuji, is the envoy of Guan Jun!"

"In October of autumn, the troops were fully equipped and the food was sufficient, so the six groups of people would go out to the north to fight!"

Li Jing took charge of the army, Changsun Wuji supervised the army, and Qin Lang was responsible for the logistics.

In order to allow Li Jing to take charge, Li Shimin finally promoted Li Jing to the Duke of Detachment. Originally, Li Jing's contribution was long enough to be granted the Duke of the State, but he was always suppressed. Now that he wants to take charge, of course he has to be rewarded first. There are no six armies in the same row. The commander is just a county duke, and other generals or deputy generals are all the Duke of the State duke, right?

Then how could Li Jing command the generals?

Now Li Shimin directly granted Li Jing the title of Duke of Dai and also appointed him as the Minister of War. Now, who dares not obey Li Jing's orders?

Yuchi Gong, who had always been rebellious, still let him stay in Ezhou and had no intention of letting him play. The domineering Hou Junji also stayed in Chang'an to continue to command the Yulin Imperial Army, and even the Minister of War gave him a gift.

Qin Qiong, the largest general of Tiance Mansion, did not use it again this time, so he continued to recuperate at home.

The main task was given to Li Jing and Li Shiji. Li Daliang, who was closest to Jie Li, was a roundabout task this time. Chai Shao also supported him indirectly, and Cheng Yao Jinda was only responsible for blocking the road.

As for Li Daozong, he was responsible for restraining and guarding the western gate in the farther Hexi.

After Li Shimin announced the deployment in a domineering manner, no one dared to doubt it.

The emperor had never expressed his opinion before, so everyone had a long debate. Now Qin Lang strongly recommended Li Jing to be in charge, and the emperor finally made up his mind and as soon as the golden mouth opened, he became an imperial decree.

The emperor swept over the ministers and his eyes fell on Qin Lang's head.

"You have no objection to let you be responsible for the logistics, right? If you want to go to the front line, I can adjust the deployment. You can be the chief of Li Jing's marching, or directly command the Anbei Protectorate, lead Li Daliang and others to go out of the East Sushoucheng City and attack Shanyutai directly."

Qin Lang smiled, "In such a big situation, famous generals have come into battle one after another. I won't show my ugly face with two swords. I'd better sit in the rear with peace of mind, prepare for food, grass and equipment, and provide logistics support."
