As soon as the first month of Tianyou's third year ended, many military generals who had gathered in Liangcheng began to pack their bags and embark on their way home.
Uncle Shen was originally a member of the Jin family, and later became a vassal of Zhou Jun. Now he is the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, leading the Liangzhou Battalion to the Hehuang area to fight against Tibet.
Before departure, Uncle Shen went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, kowtowed in the hall, and said goodbye to the head of the family.
After the ceremony was completed, Zhou Jun said to Uncle Shen: "When we go to Hehuang, in addition to the Liangzhou camp, you will also be responsible for reorganizing the Longyou Army. After the military preparations are completed, the first step is to capture Shanzhou and Kuozhou.
, the second step is to recapture Shibao City and control the Chiling natural barrier in the hands of our army. When the first two steps have been completed and there is still strength left, then march to Dafeichuan and completely open up Hehuang to Dunhuang.
Plateau access."
Zhou Jun then warned: "Remember, the primary goal of Liangzhou Camp is to control the Tibetan route into Guanzhong, so that Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi can go south without any worries. This is the highest priority goal."
Uncle Shen bowed and said hello.
Zhou Jun looked at Uncle Shen and sighed: "When I settled Feng Niang in Qiuci Town, I promised her that I would find a job for the old people of the Jin family. Now it is difficult for you to return to the battlefield.
"
Uncle Shen shook his head and said: "Everyone in the Liangzhou Camp is descended from veterans of the Tang Army. I and all the elders of the Jin family are too late to be happy about having such an opportunity to end the regrets of their ancestors. How can I complain?"
I have to thank the head of the family on behalf of everyone, but there is one thing that I can't worry about..."
Zhou Jun: "What's the matter?"
Uncle Shen: "The family master's daughter, Lady Feng, has taken care of Chao Mu. Now she has grown up. Where should she go next? I hope the family master will take care of her..."
Zhou Jun thought of Feng Niang and his daughter living in Qiuci Town, his eyes gradually softened, and he said: "Feng Niang is from Liangcheng. I will try to bring them to my side."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Shen kowtowed to Zhou Jun again and said, "In this way, I have no worries anymore. I am going to Hehuang. I just ask the head of the family to wait for the good news!"
After bidding farewell to Uncle Shen, Zhou Jun summoned another person alone. This person was Sun Aying, the former leader of the personal guard.
Sun Aying was originally just a soldier in Shuofang's army. Zhou Jun saw that he loved reading and was intelligent and loyal, so he planned to take him with him to train him.
After so many years, Sun Aying has grown from a soldier to a qualified general.
Today, looking at Sun Aying in military uniform, Zhou Jun only felt happy in his heart.
Zhou Jun: "Li Siye leads Shuofang as the Jiedushi envoy. I will make you the deputy envoy. Maybe you understand my intention?"
Sun Aying: "Li Duhu followed Marshal Guo to the south to recover Chang'an. You moved me as deputy envoy in the hope that I would be able to sit in Shuofang and stabilize the situation in Huihe."
Zhou Jun nodded and said: "Yes, since the Uighurs unified the Mobei grassland, all tribes and people have become soldiers, and the number of elite cavalry has reached 150,000. Such a force is located in the north. For Liangcheng, it is always a threat.
It's a threat."
"Fortunately, the Uighur Khan Tulishi and the Uighur Crown Prince Hedari have always been on good terms with the Tang Dynasty and have friendship with me. The two countries get along quite harmoniously."
"Shuofang Jiedushi Li Siye fought bravely, but was not good at diplomacy and strategy. He followed Guo Ziyi south. The burden of Shuofang will eventually fall on your shoulders. I have only one request for you, that is, before the war begins
During these days, control the situation in Mobei so that it cannot affect the war situation in the Central Plains."
Sun Aying: "Please rest assured, Master, Aying will not let you down."
Zhou Jun nodded first, and then said warmly: "Ah Ying, I watched you grow up. Your family died due to the war, and you became an orphan, and you are still alone... Now that the world is in chaos, if this
After the war is over and Chang'an can be recovered, then the day of peace and prosperity will be just around the corner. By that time, it will be time for you to consider starting a family..."
Sun Aying cupped his hands and said, "I will obey my master's orders in everything."
Zhou Jun smiled and shook his head, no longer trying to persuade him.
At the same time, on the official road outside Liangcheng.
Guo Ziyi, who was sitting in the carriage, while listening to the sound of wheels crushing the snow, glanced at Kong You, who was sitting opposite.
Then, Guo Ziyi looked out the window and said: "The Prime Minister ordered Bohong to be the judge of the Chinese army and follow the army, but in fact he was performing the duties of supervising the army. From this point of view, the Prime Minister still has doubts about me leading the army.
"
Kong You was holding a hand stove and was wrapped in a cloak. Even so, facing the deep cold in February, he was still vomiting white mist from the cold and his teeth were chattering.
Hearing Guo Ziyi's words, Kong You said: "If the Prime Minister doesn't believe in the commander-in-chief, why would he let you lead the central army? You must know that the three armies of the east, west, and middle routes, and the other two are actually for support, and only the central army is the key."
Guo Ziyi: "It's not that I have any doubts, but why did Bo Hong come to the army...?"
Kong You: "Before leaving, the Prime Minister told me that Marshal Guo was afraid of leading his troops southward too hastily, and someone needed to remind him that he should proceed slowly."
When Guo Ziyi heard this, she was filled with doubts.
Judging from the meaning of Kong You's words, Zhou Jun seemed to be worried that in the process of regaining Chang'an, he would advance rashly and underestimate the enemy, and eventually return defeated.
Guo Ziyi was a little unconvinced: "I have fought against the Hebei Army several times. Although I cannot say that I will win every battle, I have never been at a disadvantage. Why is the Prime Minister so worried? Could it be that he can predict the outcome?"
Kong You glanced at Guo Ziyi: "Commander Guo, I have a question, during the Kaiyuan Tianbao period, who among the generals of the Tang Dynasty could win every battle without losing a single defeat?"
Guo Ziyi was stunned and began to recall carefully.
Xu Na, Wang Jun, Li Yi, etc. in the Kaiyuan period, Huangfu Weiming, Ge Shuhan, An Sishun, Li Guangbi, etc. in the Tianbao period.
All the outstanding generals of the Tang Dynasty over the years, even those who were good at fighting and brave as Wang Zhongsi, were unable to win every battle and never lose.
Speaking of which, Zhou Jun is indeed an anomaly. Whether in Shuofang, Dunhuang, or Anxi, he has fought dozens of battles, large and small. After all, he has never been defeated.
Winning once is normal, winning ten times is a skill, but I can win every time and never lose. This is something wrong.
Guo Ziyi stroked his beard and said nothing, thinking for a long time. When he looked at Kong You again, his brows were furrowed, as if he had something to ask.
Kong You closed his eyes, began to fall asleep, and said: "The Prime Minister said that the battle in Chang'an is dangerous and unpredictable. Although the commander has experienced hundreds of battles, he may make a miscalculation, so he sent You to the army. The commander and his
If you are suspicious, it is better to try your best. If you can win, you will naturally be able to defeat the Prime Minister's speech."
Guo Ziyi thought for a moment and realized what Kong You said was the same.
Although Zhou Jun said that there might be a defeat in the battle of Chang'an, but as long as he is careful and wins successfully, wouldn't this statement be dispelled?
Thinking of this, Guo Ziyi laughed it off and no longer took it to heart.
