"Damn, that's too much bullying."

"Dare to touch our people?"

"Trick him..."

"Goguryeo is a small country, but it really only knows how to bully others. We only sent a dozen scouts, and they dispatched a battalion of soldiers and horses. When they found that they couldn't defeat them, they actually used the entire city's troops."

"Cheng Shiqi is a man who risked military law and sent troops privately. Although this man will definitely be questioned by the commander, his behavior of leading the entire battalion to rescue people is worthy of praise... Such a man should not fall into the enemy's territory

.”

"And Chen Luo, he also mobilized the entire battalion. Why didn't we find out before that this kid is actually a leader?"

"It's a pity that he also fell there. Now Goguryeo has troops from three cities rushing to help. According to the reports from frontline scouts, the two sides fought for a whole day and night..."

"What the hell, they can rush to our aid, but we can't? Brothers, do you dare to mobilize your troops and go to war?"

First, one or two attacked the mansion. Gradually, the news spread more and more widely. Countless soldiers in the mansion became angry and the atmosphere of war gradually filled the air.

The soldiers were just angry, but the captains were furious. Since ancient times, all those who could be generals have been impulsive in their bones, and they attach great importance to the friendship in the military. The most outrageous thing is when they hear that their comrades are being bullied.

…

There were more than 600 Zhechong mansions in the Tang Dynasty, and they were all recruited by Li Shimin this time, which meant that there were more than 600 Zhechong captains gathered in the border camp at this time.

There are more than 600 Zichong captains, that is, more than 600 generals. When this group of furious men gets excited, no one in the world can stop their fury of sending troops.

Moreover, it is difficult to hold accountable afterwards.

Why?

The reason is very simple... there are many people, and the law cannot punish the crowd. The most important thing is that they dare not blame the crowd. Although the official position of Zhechong Captain is not particularly large, the sum of so many Zhechong Captains cannot be underestimated.

Today, there are 643 Zhechong Mansion in the Tang Dynasty, which are used to manage all the soldiers across the country. Each Zhechong Mansion is equipped with one Captain Zhechong, and two deputy chief officers, Captain Guo Yi. The Zhechong Mansion is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower.

Etc., the military establishment varies greatly.

For example, Zhechong Shangfu has a full strength of 1,200 soldiers, and the official rank of Captain Zhechong is from the fourth rank. This level is already qualified to enter the court. In other words, Captain Zhechong of Shangfu can barely be regarded as a big boss.

As for the Shangfu Zhechong Captain, there are now a total of 61 people in the twenty-mile camp on the border.

Another example is Zhechong Zhongfu. The full strength of the army is 1,000 people. The official positions are from the fourth rank to the lower level. They belong to the generals who have entered the right rank... Note that they are not partial generals, but legitimate generals. Such generals are now on the border twenty

There are 150 people in the camp.

Finally, there is Zhechongxiafu, with a full staff of 800 people. The official position of Captain Zhechong is the fifth rank, and the magistrate of Shangxian County in the Tang Dynasty is also the fifth rank.

If we use the comparison of official positions in later generations, Zhechong Captain is equivalent to the bureau level. In other words, this is a group of military region commanders...

There are more than 600 generals, which is equivalent to more than 600 military division commanders. Just imagine if they all send out troops in anger, no matter how strict the law is, they will not dare to punish them.

Fortunately, Captain Zhechong was still calm-minded at this time.

They continued to persuade their colleagues and barely suppressed the deterioration of the situation. However, although they managed to persuade most of their colleagues, some of the captains who resisted the attack finally sent troops.

72 soldiers rushed to the barracks and brazenly crossed the border...

Send troops to help!

This is only the second day of conflict!

…

It was impossible to hide such a big movement from the Central Army Commander's camp. Li Shimin was furious and roared to send out military judges, and even prepared to use Baiqisi to capture all the Zhechong captains.

However, no one in the commander's camp tried to persuade the emperor to calm down.

The emperor just roared, and it’s not like everyone has never seen it before. How can he roar? He can’t kill everyone, right? The most important thing is that everyone can see that Li Shimin’s roar is purely acting...

Regardless of Li Shimin's throwing and smashing, it was just a gesture. The emperor seemed angry, but he was actually pretending. Otherwise, why would he have waited until the captains sent out troops to get angry? Ordinarily, he should have given strict orders to each battalion at the first opportunity.

Don't act rashly.

To put it bluntly, the emperor was just cooperating with someone's plan.

There are no fools who can be generals, and there are even less fools who can enter the military camp. Moreover, there are several handsome men among these generals, who are among the best among men...

then!

Various coordinated performances appeared.

For example, Li Jing's face was solemn and his brows were full of majesty. Whenever Li Shimin roared, the military god would solemnly nod his head and say: "Violating military law and sending troops privately, we must arrest him."

Another example is Xu Shiji, who had a cold look on his face and said angrily: "Let someone check out the 72 Zhechong mansions that sent troops. None of the 72 Zhechong captains will be able to escape punishment afterwards."

These words sounded murderous, but the tone had changed. He didn't mention arresting the person at all, but lightly said something about punishing him afterwards.

In addition to these two handsome men who spoke, there were more than a dozen princes in the camp. Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly, as if there was a fire in his chest, and cursed: "Damn it, these 72 little brats are so good

How brave. This time millions of troops are displayed at the border, and they all belong to my left army. However, these brats completely ignore me as a general. From the beginning to the end, no one reported to me the dispatch of troops.

Thing... damn, you are a coward. Lao Cheng must be severely punished afterwards. Everyone must be beaten with at least twenty military sticks. Your Majesty, please don't stop me. Lao Cheng is very angry now. He must

Kill a few people to vent your anger..."

Li Shimin's face twitched a few times and he stared at him dimly.

More than a dozen princes in the camp were trying hard to hold back their laughter. Suddenly, Duke Kui Liu Hongji secretly gave a thumbs up, walked up to Lao Cheng and winked, saying: "Cheng Zhijie, I have you. You know that His Majesty is acting, but you dare to steal it."

Your Majesty’s limelight.”

Lao Cheng also winked, chuckled and asked, "How's it going? Is the posture Lao Cheng just acted real?"

Liu Hongji gave a thumbs up again and said: "True, absolutely true."

"enough!"

Hearing Li Shimin's sudden shout, he raised his hand and grabbed an inkstone from the table and threw it at it. He said in a cold voice: "Have you made enough trouble? If you have made enough trouble, come and analyze it with me. By the way, send someone to Youyun Camp.

Ask my brother-in-law if he has come back. If he has come back, let him come to me immediately. I want to ask him what his plan is... A million troops, two countries fighting, such a dangerous situation

He actually resorted to childish tricks like playing house."

"Your Majesty, this is not a child's way of playing house!"

Xu Shiji stood up first, bowed his hands to the emperor, and then said: "If Wei Chen's guess is correct, Lord Gu is going to directly trigger a war. Although he wants to trigger a war, it is not the commander's battalion sending troops, but Through the danger of a dozen scouts, the common hatred of millions of troops was aroused..."

Li Shimin snorted softly and said: "Since ancient times, battle formations have been dangerous and dangerous, and battles have never been fought like this. Without the deliberation of the generals and without military deliberation, a million-level war was triggered by the danger of a dozen pawns. Great Battle. If his behavior is not child's play, what else in the world can be considered child's play?"

Li Jing also stood up and said with a solemn tone: "I dare not communicate your Majesty's words. Instead, I agree with Xu Shiji's conclusion and think that this is Lord Gu's genius."

Then Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County, stood up and said slowly: "Since ancient times, morale has been the priority in wars. Gu Tianya's intention is very clear. He wants to arouse the common hatred of millions of troops. Once morale is aroused, it will be like a torrent. When the time comes, we can overthrow Liaodong, and we can determine the fate of the tripod in one battle..."

The first prince paused for a moment, and then continued: "On the contrary, the strategies and plans that your Majesty just questioned are of little significance for a war between two countries. Because when the scale of the war reaches a certain level, , no strategies or tactics will be very effective. Only fierce fighting, only hard work without fear of death, going forward indomitably, and fighting with anger can win the war and destroy the enemy. "

More than a dozen princes in the camp nodded in unison.

Li Shimin also nodded slightly.

But the emperor quickly snorted again and said: "I don't listen to you. You are all saying good things for him. Even if he did the right thing, he is too courageous. He should at least discuss it with me and let him go." I just have to be prepared in my heart..."

Fang Xuanling laughed, raised his hands and saluted: "Didn't your Majesty realize it? Lord Gu has actually discussed this with you! He took several disciples to Liaodong that day, and came to say goodbye to you before leaving. At that time, Your Majesty You already know that Lord Gu will definitely make some noise when he goes there."

Li Shimin hummed again and said: "I just didn't want to hit him and make a little noise. This stinky boy, this stinky boy..."

The emperor paused as he spoke, then suddenly brought up the topic just now and said, "Send someone to ask over at Youyun Camp to see if this kid has returned?"

Cheng Yaojin stood up, clasped his hands and clasped his fists, and replied: "Your Majesty, there is no need to send anyone. I just went to see him this morning, and he has not returned. He is still in Liaodong."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his tone, and said: "Now that his intention has been achieved, the soldiers' anger is brewing, why hasn't this kid come back? After all, it is the territory of Goguryeo. Once the war starts, who will No one dares to guarantee safety. Even a battle-hardened general may fall into the hands of a group of pawns..."

As the emperor spoke, he seemed to be thinking of planning something. He looked straight at Cheng Yaojin and asked anxiously: "Did Gu Chang'e follow him?"

Lao Cheng hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said: "No, Gu Xianzi didn't go with her this time. It seems because Brother Gu strictly ordered her to stay in Youyun and promised to protect Princess Pingyang. She said she was worried about the war. It is so dangerous that his sister must ensure the safety of her sister-in-law."

Li Shimin immediately became angry and said: "Xiu Ning has experienced hundreds of battles, how can she be in danger easily? Besides, she is the marshal of Youyun's army. During the war, she will definitely not go to the battlefield, but sit in the commander's camp and command the troops.

Dispatch, how can this be dangerous? On the contrary, the kid will be in danger if he stays in Liaodong..."

The atmosphere in the camp was obviously stagnant.

After a long time passed, I heard someone say with a sigh: "Might your Majesty have forgotten that Lord Gu once said that in the temporary court hall in Youzhou City that day, the civil and military officials of the entire court discussed the plans for this war.

At that time, Lord Gu once said that he would go to the battlefield with his soldiers... Now that he is staying in Liaodong and not coming back, he obviously really wants to go to the battlefield to fight!"

The entire camp could hear a pin drop.

Li Shimin's body shook, and he suddenly shouted loudly. The emperor seemed extremely angry, and his anger was filled with worry, and he roared: "This brat, who does he think he is? He can't even lift a knife, and he even wants to go to the battlefield.

.Who can he beat? He can’t even beat a pawn..."

Everyone present could see that the emperor was really worried, otherwise he would not be so angry. This time it was not an act of anger.

Suddenly Li Shimin's eyes swept over everyone, and he strode suddenly to meet someone. The emperor's face was extremely solemn, and he unexpectedly raised his hands and fists towards that person, took a deep breath and said: "Second Brother Qin..."

Li Shimin only said three words, but Qin Qiong, who was saluted by him, had already nodded solemnly.

Qin Qiong's eyes were solemn, and he nodded slowly and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I immediately ordered a troop of soldiers and horses. My official position has reached the top in my life. After being named the founding Duke of the country, I don't need to make any further meritorious deeds, so this

I will not go to the battlefield to fight again. I will put all my attention on Lord Gu. As long as there is still a soldier under my command and as long as I am not dead, then I will not let Lord Gu appear in any way.

accident……"

Li Shimin took a deep breath again and said: "Second Brother Qin, you set off now. I will give you the command arrows of the Black Armor Cavalry. You can go directly to Liaodong with three thousand people. If you find that brat, catch him immediately."
To be continued...
