My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty-Chapter 406: The Veterans' Long-Cherished Wish!
"Tubo is a strong country, it is indeed the heart of the Great Tang, Xue Rengui, I order you to lead 50,000 troops to conquer Tubo for the general commander of the Jiannan Dao, and you must surrender Tubo within three months." In order to conquer Tubo, the Yizhou army has carried out many plateau trainings, and this conquest must also be the Yizhou army, otherwise the old army of the Great Tang will inevitably cause great casualties.
After the victory in the northern expedition to the grassland, the Great Tang basically had no war, although this was beneficial to the Great Tang, but these generals who led troops to fight were idle and uncomfortable, and now they finally had the opportunity to fight, they all wanted to rush up, and after Li Shu established a new army, Li Ji, these veteran generals felt that their status was even worse day by day, and seeing that the conquest of Tubo had no business of their own, they were suddenly a little unhappy.
"Your Highness, the minister has something to say." Li Ji said at this time.
Li Su looked at Li Ji, who suddenly stood up, thinking that the one who should have come was still coming, and he said, "General Li, please speak!"Please visit 𝗳𝘳ℯ𝑒𝓌ℯ𝚋𝐧oνe𝘭. c𝐨m
Li Ji organized his own words, the emotions he and these veterans accumulated in their hearts were not a day or two, they fought for so many years, made great battle achievements, and in the end it seemed that the war seemed to have nothing to do with themselves, in the past, when Li Yu was still the king of Shu, it was reasonable to go to the East and the West to ask them not to participate, but now Li Yu is the prince of the Great Tang, and they are not convinced if everything is biased towards the Yizhou army.
"Your Highness, don't you distrust us Chang'an veterans?" Li Ji hesitated and said, now that Li Jing has returned to the field, his subordinates are letting him come forward, and today he is also hard-headed.
From the beginning of the establishment of the new army, Li Su understood that this contradiction was about to break out sooner or later, and he pretended to be confused and said: "Why did General Li say this?"
Li Jing continued: "His Highness's formation of a new army is obviously distrust of us, and now the Yizhou army is still used to recruit Tubo, isn't our army the army of the Great Tang?"
"Your Highness, General Li's words are exactly what the ministers and other military generals want to say, please Your Highness think twice." At this time, another person wearing a military general's imperial uniform stood up, and then the military generals of Chang'an all stood up and echoed in unison.
This leading martial artist will be Li Daozong, Li Yuan's cousin, and Li Xiaogong is on a par with Li in the Li family, it can be said that he is Li Su's elder, and his name is not weaker than Li Jing and Li Ji, and those martial generals who followed the stand out, there are Su Dingfang, Xue Wanche, Cheng Yanjin, these generals with great influence in the army, it can be said that this lineup and the generals of the year jointly made Li Shimin implement the recruitment system even stronger.
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji and the other ministers looked a little unnatural, and Fang Xuanling said, "Li Ji, what are you doing?" Your Highness, there is a reason for this to be done, you are simply nonsense.
"Lu Guogong, how can you be like this..." Changsun Wuji anxiously said to Cheng Yanjin, who was standing in the middle, to say that the current situation in the Great Tang Dynasty, none of these ministers in Chang'an could see it more clearly than his eldest grandson Wuji, after all, Empress Changsun and Li Shimin often chatted with him, consciously or unconsciously they would say something he did not understand.
Li Shimin let Li Shimin oversee the country this time, indeed partly because Li Shimin was sad that Li Yuan died and wanted to find the meaning of immortality, but he and Li Shimin grew up from childhood, how could they not see that Li Shimin was also mixed with some helplessness, because Li Shimin is too strong now, especially when Li Shimin let Li Shimin travel to these places in Ryukyu, Li Shimin heard and saw it, and deeply felt the influence of Yizhou, It can be said that the land actually controlled by Li Yu has exceeded that of the Great Tang, and the letter left by Li Yuan is to persuade Li Shimin not to follow in his footsteps.
Li Shimin is not a stupid person naturally understands the meaning, besides, over the years, the Great Tang Kingdom and the people are safe, Li Shimin has gradually become lazy to manage the imperial government, content with pleasure, through Li Yuan's death, he simply plans to be comfortable as a Xiaoyao emperor who does not ask about political affairs, because he understands that when he killed Li Jiancheng and seized the imperial throne, a large part of the factor was the ministers under him, and Li Yu was unwilling to do things that rebelled, However, his ministers would not all be the lords of Anfen, and instead of making a fuss in the future, he thought that it was better to pave the way out as soon as possible, so as not to end Li Yuan.
