Chapter 5: The War Is Coming "Father, listen to what you mean, are you going to fight next?
Who is the target?
Li Zhen pretended to be naïve and asked, but in his heart he was already running rapidly, it was already September of the third year of Zhenguan, and in November, Yarkin and Ashnadur of the Eastern Turks would lead their troops to disturb Hexi.
Suzhou guard general Zhang Shigui (this product is a good person in history, with great achievements, but it is pitiful that he was hacked out of Xiang in the novel.)
Also treated equally with this guy were Li Daozong of the same period, as well as Pang Taishi and Pan Mei of the Northern Song Dynasty) and Zhang Bao, the defender of Ganzhou, formed a corner of the army, fortified the wall, and used the city to block the Turkic cavalry, which finally made the Turks return in vain, and also found an excuse for Li Shimin to counterattack the Turks.
General Zhang Gongjin wrote to Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, listing six reasons for sending troops to the Turks.
On the 23rd, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered his troops to send troops to exterminate the Eastern Turks in six ways: On the first road, Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, was the head of the march on Dingxiang Road, and Wei Chi Jingde and Su Dingfang were the deputies, leading the Chinese army; and the governor of the prefecture, the British Duke Xu Shiji, was the head of the march of the Tongmo Road (the "Zizhi Tongjian" made the Tong Han Road, which is suspected to be a mistake caused by the similarity of the shape of the traditional characters of "Han" and "desert"), Zhang Gongjin and Gao Yongsheng were the deputies, and the main force led by the East Road directly attacked the Eastern Turkic hinterland; Chai Shao, the head of the march of the Jinhe Road, and Qin Shubao as the deputy, advanced along the Yellow River on the West Road, echoing Li Jing and Xu Shiji; Li Daozong, the king of Chengjun of the Ministry of Rites, was appointed as the head of the Datong Dao march, and Zhang Baoxiang was the deputy, advancing from Lingzhou to the northwest; Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou, was the head of the march of Heng'an Road, and Cheng Zhijie was the deputy, guarding the Yanyun area to prevent the Turkic army from fleeing eastward; The governor of Lingzhou, Ma Xue Wanche, was the head of the Changwu Road march, and Duan Zhixuan was the deputy, taking advantage of the northeast to attack the Turkic rear and monitor the Turki Khan.
More than 10 generals led a total of more than 100,000 troops, all of whom were subjected to Li Jingjiedu, and counterattacked the Turks in 6 ways.
It's September now, that is to say, in two months, a battle of life and death will break out between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and it is really an honor for me, as a traveler, to become a witness to history.
"Eh, are there going to be wars?"
Hearing Li Zhen's question, everyone turned their eyes to Li Shimin.
"Zhen'er, how do you see that?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Zhen with interest.
"It's very simple, the prison is a position that is only created in wartime, right?
Father, don't underestimate children, okay?
Li Zhen glanced at Li Shimin with slanted eyes, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Well, cough cough, ......"
Li Shimin was uncomfortable when Li Zhen looked at him, and coughed a few times before adjusting: "Since you have already guessed, then I will not hide it from you."
Yes, the Tang Dynasty is preparing to start the war, this winter is extremely cold, and the Turks in the north are likely to go south, so the father and the ministers of the court discussed the plan to strike first, and give them a knife while the Turks are weak, it is best to exterminate the Turks in one fell swoop, capture Jieli alive, and be ashamed of Xue Weishui. ” "I see."
Li Zhen clenched his fists: "So, this is the war that the child wants to participate in?"
” "Not necessarily."
Li Shimin shook his head, squatted down and touched Li Zhen's little face: "Zhen'er, you are too young, although your father gave you the title of supervising the army, but he didn't want you to participate in the war, and he hasn't decided yet."
Even if your father agrees to you to go, your mother may not agree, don't you say?
But you don't have to worry, even if you can't go to the battlefield, but after all, you have the title of supervising the army, Li Jing's end of this battle, how can you score some credit, right?
It's just that the name of this Beijing prison army is not very good-sounding. ” "Huh?"
Li Zhen's head suddenly drooped, and although he had the title of supervising the army, whether he could participate in the war was still two words.
"Hahaha......"
Seeing Li Zhen's disappointed appearance, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, and he didn't comfort him, so he stood up and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you here today, my father still has something to do, so I won't play with you."
By the way, the war hasn't started yet, don't talk about what your father said to you today, understand?
” "Yes, congratulations to my father."
Li Shimin left, and the brothers gathered around to comfort Li Zhen: "Eighth brother, don't be disappointed, sit in the capital and wait for the credit to come, this is the real pie in the sky, what are you not satisfied with?"
If it were me, I'm afraid that my dreams would wake me up laughing. ” Needless to say, the person who said this must be Li You, who is not stingy, and he is the only one who can say the bastard so justifiably.
"Go, did you talk like that?"
Li Ke reprimanded Li You, and comforted Li Zhen: "Eighth brother, don't listen to your fifth brother's nonsense, he is a ...... who can't speak However, although his words are rough, the truth is correct, since you have military merits to earn, you don't care whether you can go to the battlefield or not. ” "Third brother, you might as well be the fifth brother."
Li Tai glanced at Li Ke with disgust: "Eighth brother, don't listen to them, none of them will comfort people, in this way, don't you like to eat delicious food?"
Now that you are in a bad mood, let's turn our grief and anger into strength, eat a big meal, and swallow all your worries and sorrows along with the food, and the effect will definitely be very good. ” “......
I think you want to eat it.
Li Zhen asked Cangtian speechlessly, saying that Li Tai has been trained by him, and now he has more and more tendency to evolve into foodies.
"Okay, okay, don't say it, eighth brother, don't worry, things haven't been decided yet, my father just said that it is possible, during this time, you can be coquettish to your father, and then comfort your mother and concubine, maybe you can make your father and emperor change their minds."
It was the seventh brother Li Yun who said this, who was usually a relatively dull one among the brothers, who would have thought that he could say such a big truth at a critical moment.
"That's it, Lao Qi is right, I said that you are just worrying about it, everything is undecided, what are you talking nonsense one by one?"
Li Su immediately followed in Li Yun's footsteps and pointed to the brothers and counted them down.
It's just that he seems to have forgotten that under normal circumstances, the fate of followers will not be very good......
"Hit him!"
The brothers were annoyed and angry, Li Tai roared angrily, and took the lead in pressing Li Su under him, and then everyone pounced on it, and it was a violent beating without a head or face, and even the young Li Zhen kicked him twice in the ass.

"Woooooooooo......oo You bullied me, Lao Qi said the same thing, why didn't you beat him?
"Li Su's grievance, there are only two tears of grievance.
"Hahaha......"
Everyone laughed in unison, and even Li Su laughed at the end, this is just a fight between brothers, it is nothing at all.
