The way of communication between grandparents and grandchildren is very special in this era. No other powerful family strictly abides by the etiquette of respecting the elder and the younger.
Li Qinzai rarely followed any etiquette in front of Li Ji, and he was not as respectful as other juniors to their elders. His relationship with Li Ji was more like a communication between peers.
Only with equality can we communicate more efficiently. And Li Ji also indulged Li Qinzai very much. Among all his descendants, Li Qinzai was undoubtedly the most special, and of course, had the greatest achievements.
While Li Jingye's grandchildren were still in awe of Li Ji's joy and anger, Li Qinzai was able to sit still in front of Li Ji, and could even drive Li Ji to death by opening his mouth.
"Grandpa stayed up all night, let's not talk anymore, right?" Li Qinzai carefully observed Li Ji's face and said, "My grandson is afraid that I will kill you by talking to you..." Li Ji suddenly felt a surge of negative energy in his chest, and subconsciously looked Xiang Shugu.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he had put away the inkstone paperweight in advance, otherwise today would be another good day to kill relatives for justice.
"You... stop talking and listen to me." Li Ji sighed helplessly and said, "The strategy for Haidong has been decided. Once the court prepares food, grass and weapons, we will begin the Eastern Campaign." Li Qinzai said with a smile: " My grandson should be a personal guard under your tent. I am not boasting. My other abilities are not satisfactory, but when it comes to escaping, I have no enemy in the world. If the enemy breaks through your handsome tent, my grandson will hold his hand. Holding the reins in one hand, grandpa, you can run eight hundred miles in one breath..." Li Ji didn't have the strength to get angry, and sighed helplessly: "You... shut up and listen to me."
"The Eastern Expedition was fought by the allied forces of Tang and Silla. After the army went out, Silla would also mobilize 50,000 troops to attack Goguryeo from the south. Finally, the two armies of Tang and Silla met in Goguryeo."
"For this Eastern Expedition, the imperial court sent 100,000 troops, including 30,000 cavalry, 70,000 infantry, and 250,000 logistics and heavy civilians. The emperor appointed me as the general manager of the march, and he will be in charge of the military and political affairs of the Eastern Expedition. , Su Dingfang, how powerful is the agreement, Liang Jianfang and other generals are also on the list of conscripts." Li Qinzai raised his hand to congratulate, but Li Ji raised his hand to stop him: "Shut up, don't open your mouth, or I will beat you to death." Li Qinzai stopped in anger.
"The planned tactics for the Eastern Expedition are to use the three-eyed blunderbuss you created as the main offensive weapon, combined with the cavalry's flanking detours, the god's arm bow to suppress the formation, and the rear formation's halberds, spears, cross swords and other arms. All the arms will attack together. No matter what kind of war we encounter, we will surely win."
"Of course, troops are unpredictable, water is unpredictable, and battlefield situations change rapidly. A general cannot just stick to old rules. Under specific circumstances, I will use troops appropriately." Li Qinzai nodded silently.
Li Ji stroked his beard and stared at him and said: "I am very pleased that you want to join the army to serve the country. This time you will use all the strength of the country, and after completing this battle, the emperor attaches great importance to this Eastern Expedition, and you, as a great general who is highly valued by the emperor, Talents, of course, must be given important responsibilities..." As he spoke, Li Ji suddenly smiled and said: "According to your advice to the emperor, the battle of Pinghaidong Peninsula is related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty, not only Goguryeo, but also Silla. If we want to be involved, Japan cannot stay out of it."
"Your Majesty's intention is to provide you with 10,000 elite troops, sail eastward to the Japanese country, recruit tens of thousands of Japanese young men, land on the Haidong Peninsula, march north from the original territory of Baekje, and launch an attack on Goguryeo." Li Qinzai He looked startled.
Going to Japan? He didn't expect Li Zhi to arrange him in this way, which was unexpected.
"Grandpa, didn't my grandson advance and retreat with your commander? Why did your grandson lead a division to attack from the south? Besides, the fighting power of the Japanese country is really..." Li Ji said with a smile: "No one expected the Japanese country. They don’t even have human fighting power, so how can they attack cities and plunder territory?”
"The purpose of asking you to recruit tens of thousands of Japanese youths is to lay the groundwork for the destruction of Silla after pacifying Goguryeo. There must be a reason to start the war, so that the Tang Dynasty will have reason to intervene in the subsequent war of annihilation." Li Ji added: "I sent you to the Japanese country because you were the main general who destroyed the Japanese country. You had great power in the Japanese country, with prestige and deterrence. It is said that the Japanese royal family respected and feared you, and the people all regarded your portrait. Treat it as a fierce god and stick it on the door to ward off evil spirits..." Li Qinzai gritted his teeth and said: "After my grandson arrived in Japan, he first cleaned up the people. Anyone who dares to stick my portrait will be punished by death!" Li Ji laughed: "Big No need, the fierce god is also a god, people are looking up to you, it is really gratifying to be ranked among the immortals at such a young age..." Li Qinzai's cheek twitched a few times.
Why is the old man so venomous? Who did he learn from? Li Ji's smile gradually faded, and he said in a deep voice: "What the emperor means is that I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Honshu Road march. Using your prestige in the Japanese country, you will not only recruit and train the young people of the Japanese country, but also deepen the imperial court's control over the Japanese country. "
"If the map you drew is true, the Japanese country will be the best seaport for the Tang Dynasty to explore the world. Therefore, the imperial court's control over the Japanese country must be deepened year by year. From now on, the Tang Dynasty will decide who will be the leader of the Japanese country. "
"At the same time, the imperial court will also send Confucian scholars to set up private schools, so that the writing and language of the Japanese country will be unified with the Tang Dynasty. After a few decades, the whole country will only know the Tang Dynasty, but not the royal family, and the Japanese country will be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The royal family can be abolished." Li Qinzai nodded: "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson knows how to make the Japanese country docile. It won't take decades. The Japanese country will no longer exist within ten years. Its geographical location is very important, even if the royal family is the Tang Dynasty. After all, the puppet is a hidden danger. It is better to let it be completely included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible." Li Jin hummed, and then said: "You should do some killings in the Japanese country. I heard that when you destroyed the Japanese country, you ordered the soldiers to be slaughtered. There are no less than hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians..."
"You are not a murderous person. I don't know why you are so hostile to the Japanese people. There are so many soldiers and civilians. It would be great if we spared their lives and let them come to the Tang Dynasty to work as laborers. They could build cities, build houses, and farm land. You need people, you are so wasteful!" Li Qinzai said with a smile: "My grandson, try to keep something alive, but the Japanese people are very mean, and if you reason with them, they will think you are weak and can be bullied."
"If you kill a group of them and massacre them with cruel methods, they will respect you as your biological father. Your grandson will have no choice but to satisfy their strange hobby..." Li Ji glanced at him and said, "Nonsense. , How can there be such a despicable race in the world?" Li Qinzai could only smile bitterly, but to be honest, he didn't believe it. He really should have been allowed to see with his own eyes how Fujiwara Yuno knelt down and licked him.
"This is roughly the arrangement. I will explain the specific strategies and tactics after we leave. Qinzai, you must remember that the Japanese country is very important and cannot be lost. When you go to the Japanese country, how you control the royal family and the people depends entirely on your ability. ”
