Chapter 211 Eve before the expedition

"Chengqian, you are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. How could you risk going to the battlefield with your own risk?" Empress Changsun advised earnestly.

"Why can't my mother? I am the crown prince and a member of the Tang Dynasty, why can't it be?" Li Chengqian asked back. This retort had exhausted all Empress Changsun's patience. It was possible that there was a good exchange for things. Empress Changsun saw that Li Chengqian was determined to go to the battlefield, so she used her privilege to be a mother and said to Li Chengqian: "Nothing you said can do. From now on until you go to the expedition, you can't take a step out of the Eastern Palace. From tomorrow, Mr. Yu Shinan and Mr. Kong Yingda will take turns to teach you."

When Li Er heard Empress Changsun say this, he didn't want to get entangled in this issue anymore, so he said, "Okay, Chengqian, just study in the East Palace, I will come here from time to time." After Li Er said that, he winked at Zhang Nan and signaled that Zhang Nan could follow him. Zhang Nan had no choice but to give Li Chengqian a self-seeking look and follow Li Er and Empress Changsun out of the East Palace.

As soon as he left the Eastern Palace, Li Er looked at Zhang Nan and said, "Qingquan, are you right or wrong when you say I don't let Chengqian go to the battlefield?"

After hearing this, Zhang Nan remained silent. How could he say this? From the perspective of being a father, it was naturally right, because he was afraid that his children would have any accidents on the battlefield, but from the perspective of being the emperor, he was naturally wrong. This was not only a blow to Li Chengqian, but also a blow to the military academy. However, Zhang Nan did not choose to explain, because Li Er must have a clear answer.

Seeing Zhang Nan silent, Li Er did not ask much, but said, "Follow me to the imperial study room. I have sent someone to ask the generals who went to the expedition to wait for me in the imperial study room. You can also listen." After Li Er said that, he walked towards the imperial study room with his hands behind his back, and Zhang Nan followed quickly.

When Li Er arrived at the imperial study room, the generals in the imperial study room all bowed to Li Er. Zhang Nan took a rough look and saw that all the military generals who could call him in the Tang Dynasty had arrived. It seemed that Li Er was really going to fight the Turks this time and the extermination were exterminated, especially the Jie Li Khan and Tuli Khan who ran to Li Er to blackmail. Zhang Nan saw Li Er's attitude and was almost writing a letter to these two people and washing their necks and waiting for me.

"My dear friends, I believe you all know that the Turks repeatedly invaded the border of our Tang Dynasty, and the people on our Tang Dynasty were unbearable. I always heard about this and couldn't sleep or eat, so I decided to send troops to the Turks this time. Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, has also handed me a memorandum, listing six reasons for sending troops to the Turks. I will tell you to listen to it."

When Zhang Nan saw Li Er like this, what is this? Are you still behaved when you get a cheap one? Haven’t you planned it for a year? In order to give the Turkic title, he actually listed six reasons and was no one else.

However, Li Erke couldn't hear Zhang Nan's thoughts, but picked up the memorial and handed it to Liu Bing and said, "Let these six reasons be heard with all the generals."

Liu Bing took the letter, cleared his throat, and slowly recited: "Jie Li Khan was luxurious and cruel, killed loyal and kind, and got close to treacherous and slanderous, this is one of them; Xue Yantuo and other tribes have all rebelled, this is the second; Tuli, expand, and Yugu were all offended Jie Li, and he was ashamed of land, this is the third; the northern part of the border experienced frost and drought, and food was hidden, this is the fourth; Jie Li alienated his tribesmen and assigned important tasks to foreign tribes, the Hu people were capricious, and the Tang army would inevitably be internally chaotic, this is the fifth; the Han people went to the north to avoid chaos in their early years, and at this time, there were a large number of people. Recently, I heard that they gathered armed forces and occupied a dangerous place, and the army went out of the frontier, and naturally responded internally, this is the sixth."

After Liu Bing finished reading the memorial, he quickly put the memorial on Li Er's desk and then stepped aside.

"What do you think, my dear friends?" Li Er asked while sitting on the chair, squinting his eyes.

"I am willing to devote myself to the Tang Dynasty until my death." The generals all said in unison.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll send you a mission. After you're ready, you'll go to the battle immediately without delay." Li Er slapped the table and said that although it was snowing on the grassland at this time, it was far from the point of snow disaster. However, after the generals of the Tang Dynasty brought the soldiers to the grassland, it would probably be almost the same. According to Li Er's idea, it was necessary to end the war before the arrival of the four years of Zhenguan.

"Where is Duke Li Jing of Dai and Duke Yuchi Jingde of E?" Li Erdao.

"I am here." The two bowed and left the line.

"I have appointed Li Jing as the general manager of the Dingxiang Road military, and Yuchi Jingde as the deputy general, leading the central army to advance towards Yunzhong and Mayi." Li Erdao.

"I accept the order."

"The British Duke Li Shiji was the general manager of the Tongmo Road, and the governor of Minzhou Gao Zengsheng was the deputy general. The East Road led the main force directly to attack the hinterland of the Eastern Turks." Li Erdao.

"I accept the order."

"The prince-in-law of Huo Guoguo Chai Shao is the general manager of the Jinhedao military, and the Duke of Hu Guoguo Qin Shubao is the deputy general. He is advancing along the Yellow River on the west road, echoing Li Jing and Xu Shijiyao and is responsible for covering the left wing."

"I will receive the order."

When Zhang Nan heard Qin Shubao's name, he turned his face and saw that it was really Brother Qin. Brother Qin is not a little sick now. His spirit looks better than himself. It seems that Brother Qin is still a powerful acting guy.

"Li Daozong, the prince of Rencheng, was the general manager of Datongdao's army, and Zhang Baoxiang, the governor of Ganzhou, was the deputy general. He advanced from Lingzhou to the northwest to cut off the Turks' escape route."

"The chief general of Youzhou Wei Xiaojie was the chief marching officer of Heng'an Road, and the Duke of Lu, Cheng Zhijie was the deputy chief marching officer, and led his army to Yanyun area to prevent the Turkic army from fleeing east."

"The prince-in-chief of Lingzhou, Xue Wanche, was the chief marching commander of Changwudao, and Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, was the deputy chief steward. He used the northeast to attack the rear of the Turks and monitored and restrained the Tuli Khan."

"I will accept the order." After Li Er gave the order, Zhang Nan saw Li Er's panting heavily, and could be said to be ambitious and wanted to give himself a place for the general of the marching.

"When fighting outside, all the generals were governed by Li Jing and attacked the Turks in six directions. In addition, there was also a Wuyang County man named Li Daliang guarding Liangzhou to guard the northwest, and a Duke Liu Hongji guarding Yizhou, Hebei to guard the northeast."

"I understand." Everyone was not surprised that Li Er gave Li Jing this position. After all, Li Jing was a man who was later called the "Tang Dynasty Military God". If Li Jing was not qualified to be the commander-in-chief, the others would definitely not believe it.

"Emperor, Your Majesty, have you forgotten the military academy? How do you arrange it if there are still a hundred people?" Zhang Nan suddenly remembered that when he was in the Eastern Palace just now, Li Er seemed to have not given him a clear answer.
