After the morning court the next day, Luo Zhang was surrounded by a group of senior generals and went to the imperial study. Seeing this posture, Luo Zhang knew that something was going to happen.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the imperial study room, they saw officials from three provinces and six ministries standing there. Most of them were known to Luo Zhang, and some were unknown to him. With so many important officials from the court gathered, if Luo Zhang still didn't know what was going on, that would be You fool, this is the beginning of a war.
This kind of meeting originally had nothing to do with Luo Zhang, but who said he was the key figure in this meeting? Without him, this meeting would not have been able to go on. This made Luo Zhang a little proud. Of course, this was only in his heart. , but there was no expression on the surface. He was sitting next to the generals, as honest as a quail.
When Li Shimin saw Luo Zhang looking like this, he felt a little funny in his heart. He secretly scolded this boy for being too pretentious, but he appreciated him very much.
"Your Majesty, if the invasion of Turks is different from the invasion of other regions, we are afraid that we will have to wait for some time. Although the weather in the north is good in early summer, if we send troops to the north, based on the distance and time, we will not be able to wait for a long time when we get there. It is close to winter, when the weather is at its worst, so it is not advisable to advance at the moment. We can only wait until winter is over and our army sets off. When we reach the north, it happens to be spring and when the water and grass are fertile, then will be the best time. Not only will our army not have to carry a large amount of horse supplies, but it will also be able to fight the Turks for a longer period of time. This is the safest way." Fang Xuanling stood at the bottom and reported.
"I agree with the Prime Minister's opinion. If we send troops in winter, we can have more time to prepare during this period, and we can be foolproof. If we can defeat the Turks in one fell swoop, it will be of great significance to our Tang Dynasty. That’s serious!” Du Ruhui agreed.
When the two bosses were talking, it was difficult for others to interrupt. Even Changsun Wuji was listening, which showed their status.
Luo Zhang blinked, and he seemed to agree with the analysis of the two. It was true that the movement speed of the Tang Dynasty's army horses was too slow. Even with his sled to transport the food and fodder, it still needed to be done on foot, but what Luo Zhang was thinking was As Li Jing said before, he could sweep the Turks with just one cavalry.
Luo Zhang has carefully considered this method, and it is indeed feasible. However, the cavalry is fast, but no matter how fast you are, you still need supplies. You cannot pursue endlessly. However, your speed is so fast, how can you keep up with supplies? Therefore, it is still not feasible to advance troops at this time as Fang Xuanling said. We can only wait until autumn, supply first, and set off the army in winter. In this way, there will be no problems.
Luo Zhang thought this, but he didn't say that no matter who was here was more experienced than him, he was just here to listen, and his only role was to build the igloo there.
Moreover, his grandma had repeatedly warned him that he was not allowed to go to the battlefield and could only stay in the rear. Although Luo Zhang was somewhat reluctant and wanted to go to the battlefield in person, he could only agree to it in order not to worry his family.
Besides, even if Luo Zhang wanted to, His Majesty would not agree. It is no longer easy for him to go to the north to fight against the Turks. You know, he is also responsible for building ships and going to sea to find elixirs. How can he fail?
"In this case, I'd like to trouble you two to make a lot of preparations. Let's just settle this matter!" Li Shimin said with finality.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui bowed and accepted the order.
"Luo Zhang, is it true that your igloo can't teach others?" After giving instructions to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, Li Shimin glanced at Luo Zhang and asked.
"Your Majesty, this igloo building method can be taught to others, but if there is a mistake in the process, it will be the life of the soldiers. The cold in the north is no joke, and if I go, I can guarantee that there will be no mistakes. Please give me your permission." I will follow you!" Luo Zhangjian called him and hurriedly explained.
There seemed to be hesitation in Li Shimin's eyes, but he finally nodded. He was not a foolish king who would abandon the lives of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty for the sake of his own immortality. He only wanted to live forever because he wanted to make the Tang Dynasty more prosperous. After all, Datang devoted his life's efforts. Although it can be passed on to future generations, how will future generations know what he has in mind? Naturally, it is not as safe as implementing it himself.
Then Li Shimin discussed with Li Jing and other generals who would lead the army and who would be the deputy general. This was beyond Luo Zhang's control. He once again stepped aside and became an audience. As long as he was allowed to go to the northern battlefield, the other Luo Zhang would do it. Zhang didn't care much.
After the discussion, the scene changed. All the commanders were red-faced. They all felt that it was most suitable for him to attack the Turks. Who could be called good brothers who refused to give in to each other. They usually drank and chatted with each other and were endlessly heroic. , now everyone looks at each other like enemies, where is the usual brotherhood.
Luo Zhang almost laughed when he saw this, especially Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde. These two were competing for the position of the vanguard. If they hadn't been in the royal study room, they would have rolled up their sleeves and decided to decide the winner. !
All the civil servants were not surprised by this. They all looked at the military attachés' behavior with disdain on their faces. They seemed to think that such an argument was really inappropriate, but this is what military officers are like. If they were all like civil servants, they would fight. What a bullshit fight.
This imperial study room meeting to attack the Turks lasted for two hours before it ended. When Luo Zhang walked out of the imperial study room, his legs were a little weak. He was not sitting, but standing. For an hour But it was only two hours. He stood in the imperial study room for four hours, and his legs were weak.
However, after two hours of discussion, everything was settled, which means that this winter, he will go with the army to conquer the Turks. Thinking about Luo Zhang, he was inexplicably excited. Fighting, how passionate, this is what many men dream of. things.
Just as he was about to mount his horse and leave, Luo Zhang felt a look on him. He turned his head and saw Chang Sun Wuji and Chu Suiliang looking at him one after another. The coldness in their eyes could make any fool feel evil.
Luo Zhang gave him a disdainful look, turned around and left the imperial city with Wu Shaobin.
"Sir, this matter is not urgent. It is now confirmed that this boy is going to the northern battlefield. The war will be chaotic by then. Who knows whether there will be an accident. Besides, even if there is no accident, can't we let him have an accident? There The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, who knows what is going on. Even if he is dead by then, there will be no clues to trace, let alone us. We only need to wait for the army to leave and arrange manpower!" Follow Changsun Wu Chu Suiliang, who was beside Ji, suggested.
"Hmph! Let this kid be proud for a while longer, and then I will never let him come back to Chang'an!" Changsun Wuji snorted coldly.
Regarding Changsun Wuji's unkind gaze, Luo Zhang naturally saw that he had bad intentions towards him, and even guessed Changsun Wuji's plan. But even so, he would not back down. Labor and management are not scared, who is afraid of whom? Ah, it's only the beginning of summer, and there are still several months before winter leaves. During such a long time, labor and management work hard to raise their strength to the peak of Qi Sense Realm. Even labor and management in the True Yuan Realm can fight. , we still don’t know who will win or lose by then.
Of course, in addition to improving himself, Luo Zhang also has other things to rely on, and that is the Eighteen Cavalry that he has been training these days. Although the Eighteen Cavalry at this time are only at the peak of the Pulse Opening Realm, their Eighteen Battle Formations are coordinated. As they become more and more proficient, eighteen people work together. Even masters at the fifth and sixth levels of the Qi Sense Realm are no match for them. And if they can break through to the Qi Sense Realm, eighteen people working together may be able to compete with the True Yuan Realm. As for reaching the peak of the Qi Sense Realm, according to Wu Shaobin's estimation, it can kill a strong man at the first level of the True Yuan Realm. The Luo family's ancestral Eighteen Cavalry Battle Formation method is extremely powerful.
After returning home, the days became calm again. Luo Zhang didn't say much about the war. He was afraid that his grandma would recite sutras to him again. But he was afraid of grandma's recitations and couldn't talk about it, so he could only run away.
The most important thing for him right now is not to go to the northern battlefield, but to get married to Princess Gaoyang. Seeing that the wedding is approaching, the family is very busy. Even Luo Zhang, who wants to be lazy, is being ordered around. He was full of resentment for marrying Gao Yang. He was just marrying a princess, but why did he do it so grandly?
Luo Zhang made up his mind. After Gao Yang got married, he would take good care of her. He would never allow her to act like a princess and show off her power at home. According to future generations, Gao Yang was no different from a local emperor in the Fang family. This was not advisable. Yes, he doesn't want to marry an ancestor and go home.
