300、Preparation before the war (Part 2)
When we heard the food issue mentioned, everyone looked at the officials of the Sinong Temple. After hearing this, the officials of the Sinong Temple were able to come forward to answer.
"If we were to take out the food problem now, we might not be able to do it. But if we could continue for a year or two, we should be able to support the battle of 200,000 troops for several months. However, it would be a few months, and if it was longer, it would be dangerous."
After hearing the answer from the Sinong Temple official, everyone knows that this is a battle that requires quick battles. Once the battle situation is delayed, it may be very unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, either do not attack or defeat the Turks with lightning speed, so that they can truly destroy the Turks. Therefore, this is a test for the generals present, testing their ability to quickly eliminate the enemy. Moreover, the battle situation is even more risky in winter, which makes everyone feel a little confused.
"Okay, fight, we must fight! The key is how to fight, how can we quickly resolve the battle! I don't want my Tang Dynasty to bear the border troubles in the north like in the past." Li Shimin said.
When Li Jing heard the emperor's determination, he immediately changed the subject and said, "Since that's the case, we will decide on the battle plan. Please ask the generals and generals of each guard to see how many people can do action battles."
"My Right Tun Guard can dispatch 10,000 people!" Zhang Shigui said first.
Since Zhang Shigui failed to take the position of General of the Army to avenge the Shame, he returned to Youtun Guard. He knew that he was afraid that he would lose face in front of the emperor during the military exercise, so he now wanted to save face as soon as possible. If this battle could not show any good performance, he would probably be hidden. Zhang Shigui had also heard that Emperor Li Shimin wanted to transfer him to the place to be the governor of a state. However, that place was too remote, so this was in the open and secret. Zhang Shigui wanted to save face so as to avoid being promoted and secretly.
"My Right Martial Guard can send 20,000 troops!" Cheng Yaojin also replied.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Zhang Shigui proudly. Zhang Shigui did not dare to resist, so he could only bow his head to deal with it. Cheng Yaojin was a general of the Right Martial Guard, one level higher than Zhang Shigui. Although he was only one level higher, he was a higher level higher than him, even if he was not a direct superior.
Next, each guard began to explain how many soldiers they could photograph. In the end, it was as high as more than 200,000, and Li Shimin was very happy. Because the more soldiers he could send, the stronger his strength was.
"No need to have that much, just 200,000 yuan. Even the ones who are really on the front line may be about 100,000 yuan. If there are too many, the food and grass can't keep up! Next, it depends on who goes and who won't go." Li Shimin said.
The emperor has reached this point, which means that some people cannot participate in this battle. This battle can almost be said to be the last war in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, so everyone is very eager to seize this opportunity. This can be said to be the last war and the last opportunity to make meritorious contributions. And soldiers want to make merit on the battlefield. If they cannot make meritorious contributions, that is, it means that this war is also very meaningful. If the Turks can be destroyed, then this is a rare achievement in the ages. I am afraid that it can be compared with the expulsion of the Huns by Emperor Wu of Han. This is destined to be recorded in history. Who doesn’t want to seize this opportunity and be famous for being in history? Under such rich interests, everyone will be moved.
"Everyone seems to have forgotten that we have a military governor, but we have 40,000 troops! This time, he wants to take the lead!" A guy said sarcastically.
This guy is Zhang Shigui. He is now mocking Jing Wen, saying that he wants to take the lead. At this time, he deliberately raised Jing Wen, hoping that Jing Wen would be embarrassed. And this time, if Jing Wen could not fight, then Jing Wen, the governor of the Avengers Army, would be embarrassed. If the Avengers Army cannot fight, how can their shame be washed away? If they cannot take the lead, they may not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives. So, this is stimulating Jing Wen.
"Your Majesty, our avenge army can attack the Turks at any time and fight the Turks to the end at any time!" Jing Wen promised immediately.
"Oh? You?" Li Shimin was also a little surprised.
"Your Majesty, our avenge army sends 40,000 troops to destroy the Turks for the Tang Dynasty!" Jing Wen said.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin did not help Jing Wen anymore, but said: "Don't get involved in your avenge army. Other troops are all famous generals in the army. Do you have a avenge army? So, let's send other troops!"
Because the quota for troops sent is about 200,000, and the ones fighting on the front line are only 100,000 to 150,000. If the avenge army accounts for 40,000, then others may go there to drink porridge! Therefore, other generals do not want the avenge army to fight because the quota is limited!
"Yes! There are no famous generals in the Avengers Army, so don't go to the expedition." "The Avengers Army has just trained for less than a year, and even if the next two years are only two years, there is no practical experience. How can we compare with our veterans on the battlefield for many years?"...
These generals looked down on Jing Wen's avenge army because Jing Wen's army had only been trained for less than a year. Even if the next time was included, it would only be less than two years. What's more, this army had no real combat and had zero practical experience. Other armies had armies that had existed since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and had very rich practical experience. Therefore, their advantages were very strong. This battle was related to the future fate of the Tang Dynasty, so the emperor could not be careless.
