"Since Taizong led us to use troops abroad, our Tang army will win the battle and win the attack......
Did you participate in the battle of Taizong's expedition to Liaodong?
”"If you want to destroy the enemy country, I'm afraid you have to count General Su Dingfang, in the battle to destroy the Western Turks, General Su was the vanguard of our army, and he broke into the Jieli tooth tent while the wind and snow broke into the tent......"
Su Dawei listened quietly in the tent, and a group of Tang generals talked about the world, and they were all famous in the Tang Dynasty.However, Su Dawei also clearly heard some differences.Like Su Dingfang and Cheng Zhijie, they are all generals who have climbed up step by step with their military merits, and they naturally represent a poor family.And there are some generals like Wang Wendu, who are obviously graceful and elegant.Most of the backgrounds of these generals are related to the background of the Long nobility.In addition, in the military tent, there is a third category of people, that is, some "naturalized" alien generals.For example, Li Jinxing, the commander of Zhichong, although he gave the name of the Central Plains, he was actually a native of the Central Plains.His father is the Yarrow Gong "Tudiji".This name is a little weird, Su Dawei only later asked Cheng Chuhei and Su Qingjie, who were with the army, to know the reason.Tudi Ji was originally the chief of the Yan Dynasty, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he led more than 1,000 people to attach, lived in Yingzhou, and awarded the Golden Purple Light Record Doctor and Liaoxi Taishou.In the early years of Wude, in the tributary, Gaozu Li Yuan took his ministry as Yanzhou and was awarded the governor.When Liu Heimin rebelled, he wrote to Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to participate in the war, and later was awarded the title of Duke of the country because of his military exploits, and his apprenticeship lived in Changping.In short, because of his father's relationship, Li Jinxing joined the army very early, and this person is majestic, powerful, and has a bold personality.However, as a foreign general, Su Dawei noticed that he was still a little estranged from the other generals in the tent.This is a little different from what Su Dawei imagined.Originally, influenced by some information from later generations, he thought that all ethnic groups in the Tang Dynasty got along harmoniously and were like a family.This may be the case in Chang'an City, but in the Tang Army, it is not so simple.In the army, it is still a place where seniority is ranked, in addition to military merits, background still has some influence.It's just that these effects are not so obvious now, and if Su Dawei hadn't observed carefully, he wouldn't have found out."
Boss!"
When Su Dawei was patiently roasting meat, he suddenly heard a shout beside him.Turning his head to look, he just saw the tall and majestic Li Jinxing standing up from the crowd, and saluted Cheng Zhijie, who was full of oil and eating happily: "Chief manager, I have something to ask for advice below." ”Cheng Zhijie's action of gnawing meat froze slightly, Ji'er chewed a few bites hard, raised his head and glared at Li Jinxing, "What do you kid want to say?"
”"Commander, this expedition to the Turks is very important, the fighter plane is fleeting, why is the army marching so slowly, and it costs countless money and food every day, how can it be ...... if it goes on like this" "Presumptuous!"
Cheng Zhijie was furious, raised his hand and gnawed half of the bone in his hand, and threw it at Li Jinxing: "You kid knows a fart, do you know how to fight or do I know Lao Cheng?"
Stand down!
”"Chief manager......"
Li Jinxing still wanted to plead, but suddenly felt that someone next to him was pulling the corner of his clothes.A glance out of the corner of his eye, he found that it was Su Dawei.For Su Dawei, his feeling has always been more confusing, it is said that this person was bad and handsome before, but he has solved several cases in Chang'an, and he has some fame.But as far as he knows, this Su Dawei is also a good son of a poor family, and there seems to be no military background at home, a bad handsome, how did he get involved in this battle to conquer the Western Turks?
However, seeing that Su Dawei was more kind to himself, he didn't inquire much about this matter.Who hasn't had a bit of a secret on their bodies.He originally held back a lot of words today, and wanted to offer his advice to the general manager Cheng Zhijie, but when Su Dawei interrupted him like this, he hesitated slightly, and finally put out his mind of arguing, arched his hand to Cheng Zhijie, and walked out of the tent with a blush on his face.Seeing that Li Jinxing was driven out, there were some other generals of other races in the tent who had a somewhat unnatural face.Cheng Zhi swept the light, laughed, grabbed the big bowl on the table, and poured a few big sips of tea.Wiping the droplets of water on his chin and beard, Cheng Zhijie glanced at Su Dawei.Su Dawei's small actions just now did not escape his eyes.Pressing his hands on the table, Cheng Zhijie leaned over and smiled: "How can a little lieutenant know how to use soldiers, since following Taizong, our old Cheng will win the battle, and the attack will be won, which battle is not won beautifully?"
In this expedition to the Turks, everyone put their hearts in their bellies. ”Seeing that everyone's complexion slowed slightly, Cheng Zhijie continued to boast: "In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Duke of Weiguo led 100,000 troops to the Northern Expedition to the Eastern Turks.In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Taizong sent Li Jing and Hou Junji, the Duke of Weiguo, to lead tens of thousands of troops to attack Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun was defeated, the original Khan fled, and we set up a new Khan.In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Taizong sent Hou Junji and Xue Wanche to destroy Gaochangguo.In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Taizong led the generals to fight Goguryeo, all the way like a bamboo, and then returned in winter, and Li Tao, Li Daozong and Xue Wanche destroyed Xue Yantuo on the way. ”Speaking of this, Cheng Zhijie slapped his thigh hard: "Follow the Tang Dynasty to fight, everyone can earn military merits, money and women, you can get it at your fingertips, and you're worried about a bird!"
”Inside the big tent, there was a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere became warm for a while.Su Dawei didn't know why, looking at the silent Su Dingfang and accompanying Wang Wendu, who was laughing, he was always a little unsure.In the military tent, the famous generals and generals of the Tang Dynasty continued to eat and drink, and talked loudly.Su Dawei quietly walked out of the military tent.At this time, it was already October, and the northwest land was bitterly cold at night.A sharp northwest wind swept through and cut through the skin like a knife.Even if he was an alien, he couldn't help but shudder, and tightened the winter coat on his body slightly.The technique of dark whale breath dispelled that chill.Looking up, under the bonfire at night, countless military tents were scattered on the ground, dotted with stars, like countless stars.In the light of the campfire, a tall figure stood alone in the shadows, facing the rolling mountains in the distance, silent.Su Dawei looked left and right, and there were night patrol soldiers striding by in the distance, and no one paid attention to this side.He walked over to the man and said hello: "Captain Li." ”Li Jinxing turned his head and glanced at him, and said with some surprise: "Su Shuai, you are not in the tent, why did you come out?"
”"I don't have anything to say in the tent, I don't want to barbecue meat all night."
Su Dawei snorted, bowed slightly to Li Jinxing and said, "Li Duwei's words are deeply true. ”Hearing Su Dawei say this, Li Jinxing was a little surprised, looked Su Dawei up and down, and said with a wry smile: "You are the first to say this, I have actually always wanted to talk to Manager Cheng about entering the army, and I have also talked to other people around me, they either persuade me not to do much, or just like today, drink me up." ”"Li Duwei, what do you think of this expedition to the Western Turks?"
Su Dawei asked softly.In my heart, I was thinking quickly.This expedition, starting from Chang'an, has taken almost five months along the way.Although the Western Turks are far away, at the speed of the large army, it is still too slow.However, Su Dawei has no experience in the army, and in the face of the famous Su Dingfang of the Tang Dynasty and the famous generals such as Cheng Zhijie, he wisely kept his mouth shut.Talk less and see more.Besides, this time he joined the army, mainly in charge of the intelligence department.Scouts along the road, scouting and scouting, looking for local guides, and surveying the terrain are his hands, and nothing else is his turn.But today, he was a little interested in this Li Jinxing.Perhaps, I can get more information about this battle from this alien general."
What do you think?"
Li Jinxing looked at him and laughed: "Of course it's not optimistic." ”"Huh?"
Su Dawei almost choked.He originally intended to ask the generals in the army what they thought, but he didn't know that this Li Jinxing was actually "talking endlessly".The Tang army, whether from Cheng Zhijie or the small soldiers below, was all optimistic about this battle.Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, countless countries have been destroyed, battles must be won, attacks must be won, and no one has ever been afraid of wars.This Li Jinxing, how dare you say that!"
You don't believe me?"
Li Jinxing's smile revealed a hint of bitterness, and he pointed to himself: "Although I am a native of the Tang Dynasty, I grew up in the Tang Dynasty since I was a child, and I received the education of the Tang Dynasty. ”As he spoke, he was silent for a while, and then looked at the big tent with his head: "The army has no general's heart, and the soldiers have no will to fight." ”"Captain Li, what do you mean by this?"
Li Jinxing's words made Su Dawei vigilant.This person, it shouldn't be a fine work, right?
How dare you spread this kind of elimination in the army, if you meet a more serious general, it is possible to say a word that upsets the hearts of our army and beheads him."
Su Shuai, can I trust you?"
Li Jinxing stared at Su Dawei's eyes: "You are a bad handsome, why did you appear in the army?"
Presumably, you have your relationship, if I tell you my thoughts, can you help me tell General Su?
I see that you and General Su seem to be very familiar. ”"The son of General Su, Su Qingjie is also in the army, and he and I are good friends."
Su Dawei said: "As for me, I, like you, hope that Datang will win." ”Li Jinxing looked at Su Dawei's eyes steadily, and the night wind blew, blowing his hair into a dance.Hair like a knife.After a long time, he nodded: "In the fifth year of Wude, I Aye broke Liu Heimin with Taizong, and the next year, I broke the Turks who came to invade, and I grew up listening to Aye's war since I was a child......
In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, I served as the captain of the right military guard Yiwei after Xie Brown, successively served as the captain of Guoyi, the captain of Guoyi in Longquan Mansion, and the captain of Zhichong in Sushen Mansion. ”With that, he took a long breath, as if trying to calm the emotions stirring in his chest.After a moment's pause, he opened his eyes and looked at Su Dawei.His eyes were frighteningly bright in the night, and his voice was like ice: "I have calculated, starting from Chang'an, even if we prepare grain and grass, recruit government soldiers, and add the distance, we can arrive in March, at most four months, we can bite the people of the Western Turks, why is it delayed so far this time?"
