"The first snowfall of the year has fallen in the Turks. Now the armies of the two princes of the Turks have returned to their territories to recuperate and prepare to survive this winter."
After reading the Turkic emergency report, Li Shimin looked happy.
If the two armies are still fighting and the Tang army attacks, the two princes may realize the threat and temporarily share the same hatred to deal with the Tang.
So he has been waiting for the arrival of this winter. Only then will the two armies in the bitter cold land have a truce and then cultivate separately.
In previous years, as soon as autumn arrived, the Turks would go south to plunder to solve their problem of insufficient food in winter.
But this year they fought for several months, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. So many people died, so of course there was enough food.
In addition, no one wanted to provoke Datang when they were fighting with each other, which made the border of Datang a lot more peaceful.
But what they didn't expect was that Datang had been staring at them.
"Xuan Li Jing, Hou Junji, Cheng Chumo, Li Ji, Niu Jinda, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong, Li Daozong..."
The eldest grandson of such a military master knew that it was not appropriate for him to participate in the war, so he quietly withdrew.
Soon a group of ministers came to the Xiande Hall.
Li Shimin read the Turkic emergency report to them, and Cheng Zhijie said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the opportunity has come. Please be the vanguard and do the damn thing."
"You coward!" Li Shimin's eyes also shone with excitement, and he did not forget to lower his head and glance at the globe on the table. This would be the first major expansion campaign after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and even he also Starting to get excited.
Although the Turkic emergency report was received only today, the battle plan has been prepared long ago.
He pulled a rope behind his seat, and with a "swipe" sound, a map that had been prepared appeared in front of everyone.
Li Shimin pointed at the map with the teaching stick he got from Tang Ping and said:
"The acting Duke Li Jing is the general manager of the march on Dingxiang Road and leads the Chinese army to advance towards Yunzhong!"
"Li Jing takes the order!"
"The British Duke Li Ji was the general manager of the march to Tongmo Road and led the main force from the east route to directly attack the Turkic hinterland."
"Li Ji takes the order!" Li Ji looked happy. He led the main force of the east route to attack the hinterland, so naturally he would not have to worry about the credit.
"Hu Guogong Qin Shubao is the general manager of the Jinhe Road march. He marches along the Yellow River on the west road, echoing the army of Li Jing and Li Ji, and is responsible for covering the left wing."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng County, was appointed as the general manager of the Datong Road march, advancing northwest from Lingzhou to cut off the Turks' westward escape route!"
"Cheng Zhijie, Duke of the State of Lu, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the march on Heng'an Road and led his army to the Yanyun area to prevent the Turkic army from escaping eastward!"
"Your Majesty!" Cheng Zhijie quit: "How about another one? Isn't our old Cheng weaker than some of them in a fight? They always give me some scraps every time."
Li Shimin's eyes widened: "Change? Okay, then you can guard Chang'an!"
"No, there's no need to change. There's no need to change. Let's just go to Heng'an Road. Isn't it okay for me, Old Cheng, to go?"
Li Shimin ignored him and continued: "Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Fan State, is the general manager of the Changwu Road march. He detours behind the Turks along the national border between Northeast China and Beiyan to monitor and contain Beiyan."
"Li Daliang, a man from Wuyang County, guards Liangzhou, Liu Hongji, the Duke of Ren, guards Yizhou to defend Beiyan, and Duke Junji of Chen stays in Chang'an."
The entire six-pronged army, Datang could be said to have sent out all the main forces and famous generals in the army this time.
Then the whole of Chang'an began to operate, and of course Tang Ping received the news soon.
The person who came to notify him was a small school of Xuanjia Cavalry, because Xuan Jiaqi had been sending a team of people to learn the relevant knowledge of special operations in the martial arts department of the new academy.
In this battle against the Turks, we will naturally take them away to see how useful they can be in actual combat.
"Whose command are they going to serve?"
"The British Duke Li Ji's command will attack the Turkic hinterland from the east!" He got the order when he arrived, and there was no need to hide it from Tang Ping.
"Then please bring a message to General Li Ji for me. I'm going too."
"Bachelor of Tang University!" Xuan Jiaqi has been studying martial arts in this new school for so long. Does this small school still know Tang Ping's abilities?
I just didn't expect that he would offer to go with the army.
"We're going too!"
"Yes, curator, take us with you!"
"Yes, we want to go together too!"
Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai were looking around, not knowing what they were thinking. After hearing Tang Ping's words, they both expressed their intention to go together.
"Why are you guys just messing around? I'm telling you, keep practicing with me at home. I'll leave homework for you when I leave. If you don't finish it well, wait until I come back. Don't blame me for being unkind!"
Tang Ping said a few words to these cowards with a stern face, and then continued to say to the small colonel: "Ignore them, please help me convey it to General Li Ji."
Of course, the small school couldn't make the decision in this matter. He rode back with Xuan Jia here and directly found Li Ji who was already in the military camp.
"General, we have brought back all the black armor cavalry from the new school."
"Well, tell them to form an independent special operations team and follow the army's deployment."
"One more thing. When I went to the new academy just now, Grand Scholar Tang asked me to tell you that he will also go with him."
"Tang Ping? Is he going too?" Li Ji raised his eyebrows. He naturally knew Tang Ping's abilities. After all, his road idiot Li Zhen, who didn't know the way, was in the new school.
But at the same time, he also knew that when it came to combat ability, Tang Ping was a scumbag.
Scholars in this era still pay attention to the Six Arts of the Gentleman. It can be said that even a scholar like Tang Ping is no match for him.
The problem is that he is a very important figure. Although he has never been to the court or participated in politics, he has been involved in many events in the Tang Dynasty in the past six months.
Even he found this matter a bit tricky, so he had no choice but to go to Li Shimin.
"He's going too?"
Li Shimin frowned after hearing this. Although he was fully prepared to attack the Turks this time, who can say accurately about the battlefield?
If the other armies were okay, he would still name Li Ji's active Turkic army.
There must be a mistake...
Li Shimin was worried about it, and finally said to Li Ji: "Let's go to Shanghe Village and ask him why he wants to go."
"Here!" Li Ji secretly praised his wise decision just now.
His Majesty really cares about Tang Ping very much. Now that the army is about to launch, there are many things to be busy with. However, when His Majesty heard that Tang Ping was going, he even dropped everything and went to Shanghe Village.
