Chapter 180: Armored Eastern March

Slogans such as "Wei Guangzheng" are said in a serious tone, which seems hypocritical.

But Li Qinzai really thinks so...

A person from the 21st century came to this strange world and started out as a son of a powerful person. He had bright clothes and angry horses and no worries about food and clothing. It can be said that he has fully enjoyed the dividends brought to him by this peaceful world.

This is not only the efforts of three generations, but also the peaceful world created by the monarchs, ministers and people of the entire country.

Slogans such as loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are too false. To put it very realistically, you have to pay something if you receive the bonus. Is there any reason in the world that you can eat for free without paying?

After leaving Taiji Palace, Li Qinzai returned to the Duke's Mansion. After meeting with Li Ji, Li Ji ordered Bu Qu to bring him a brand new set of armor.

Li Qinzai had no choice but to put it on and try it on.

The armor was very heavy, about forty pounds, and it felt like I was carrying an iron chimney when I put it on my body, making me uncomfortable even in every move.

"Grandpa, my grandson is the commander of the army and a civil servant in the army. There is no need to wear armor, right?" Li Qinzai said sadly.

Li Ji snorted: "The enemy's cold arrows are coming. Do you think the arrows can distinguish who is a civil servant and who is a military general?"

Li Qinzai sighed, he understood the truth, but you are so playful at your age, who did you learn from?

Li Ji stroked his beard and said calmly: "In this eastern expedition to the Baekje Japanese Kingdom, our Tang Dynasty king's army marched together with both land and water divisions. The general manager of the land march is Liu Rengui. This man is good at planning, but he is too upright and hard-spoken, so he is not easy to get along with."

"The commander-in-chief of the waterway march is Sun Renshi. He leads more than 8,000 troops and more than 170 warships. They are rushing from Shandong to assist the Baijiangkou of Baekje. The two land and water divisions will meet at the Baekje port. The two armies will unite to attack the remaining parts of Baekje. and Japan."

"You will be under the command of Master Sun Ren during this expedition. Your duties are to record the supplies of food, grass, weapons and equipment, and supervise logistics. Of course, if you have any clever strategies to defeat the enemy, you can present them to Master Sun Ren in person. This is a national war, and you cannot hide your personal interests."

Li Qinzai nodded and took note.

Li Ji paused, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Also, stay away from Liu Rengui."

Li Qinzai was stunned and asked tentatively: "Grandpa and Liu Rengui have any grudges?"

Li Ji's face suddenly became ugly, and he snorted and said: "During the Zhenguan period, this beast was assigned to the task. At that time, I followed the late emperor to conquer Goguryeo. Later, when the king's army failed to capture him, the late emperor led the main force to retreat. I and Li Daozong led 40,000 soldiers. The infantry and cavalry troops marched to the rear. On the way to the rear, the officers and soldiers of the army inevitably violated some military discipline..."

Li Qinzai asked curiously: "What military discipline was violated?"

Li Ji coughed uncomfortably and said: "I just robbed some property in Goguryeo, massacred a few small towns, women and so on, and ruined a few..."

Li Qinzai was silent for a long time, and then agreed: "Sure enough, I just violated a few hundred million points of military discipline..."

Li Ji glanced at him unkindly and continued: "After returning to the Tang Dynasty, Liu Rengui heard the news from nowhere, so he went to Shushen to accuse me of causing trouble and failing to run the army. The late emperor punished me severely."

"The late emperor had a broad mind, and he didn't care about the things my soldiers committed in enemy countries, so he left Liu Rengui's impeachment memorial unpublished..."

"Who would have thought that the evil beast saw that the late emperor had no expression, so he tried to impeach me one after another. He stayed with me for a whole month, a month! Every day, a copy of the impeachment was handed over to the late emperor's case, and he even cited Li Jing and Hou Junji as examples. Please The late emperor decided on my crime based on the punishment of the two of them."

Li Qinzai was slightly startled.

Li Jing and Hou Junji, the former conquered the Turks in the north and made great military achievements, but was imprisoned and plundered by soldiers. Of course, this was only a superficial reason. The real reason was that Li Jing was truly superior to his master.

After Hou Junji attacked and destroyed the Gaochang Kingdom, he also launched an army to plunder and rob the Gaochang Kingdom's royal family and treasury. He was severely punished by the late emperor. The punishment made him despair and wanted to die, and finally rebelled against Li Chengqian.

If the late emperor really wanted to punish Li Ji based on the two men's mistakes, it is not certain whether the British Dukeship can be preserved.

Secretly gritting his teeth, Li Qinzai completely agreed with his grandfather's words. Liu Rengui was indeed an evil beast.

Yes, it's just so unprincipled.

When the Tang Dynasty used troops abroad, it was nothing new for famous generals to slaughter cities and loot at every turn. Including Li Jing and Li Ji, they often turned a blind eye to the actions of their generals.

When the two armies are fighting, the sword has no eyes. Who hasn't done something crazy in the enemy's territory? It's a normal operation. To put it nicely, this is to boost the morale of the army, which is very beneficial to the army's combat effectiveness, so the leader Generals usually don't mind too much.

However, Liu Rengui was determined to punish Li Ji. This kind of person is either a bad person or an upright Holy Mother of the White Lotus.

After Li Ji finished speaking, he showed a look of resentment. Obviously, after so many years, Li Ji was still angry. This shows how much Liu Rengui's participation in the impeachment made his life worse than death.

"Grandpa, don't worry. If my grandson meets Liu Rengui, he will help grandpa avenge his past. My grandson will give him the perspiration medicine..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked hard by Li Ji.

"You bastard! There is a battle between two armies. It is a matter of life and death. Are you allowed to mess around? When you meet Liu Rengui, don't interact with him privately. Don't try to kill the general, otherwise I will not spare you!" Li Ji shouted sternly.

Look at these three views, how upright they are, worthy of the achievements of famous generals in the three dynasties.

"Grandpa, my grandson realizes his mistake. Please correct your statement. After Master Wang wins and the overall situation is settled, he will give him the Mongolian sweat medicine again..."

Li Ji didn't lose his temper. Instead, he stroked his beard slowly, closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he had dozed off.

Seeing Li Ji's reaction, Li Qinzai was shocked.

Is this... tacit consent?

Li Qinzai clicked his tongue. It seemed that Liu Rengui really disgusted Li Ji. Otherwise, Li Ji would not have acquiesced in allowing him to do such dirty things.

So Li Qinzai silently began to make calculations.

For this expedition, in addition to gunpowder, we also need to prepare some Mongolian sweat medicine.

Anyway, they are all medicines, and they are all meant to cure diseases and save people.

…………

The second year of Longshuo in the Tang Dynasty.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the war drums of the camp in the northern suburbs of Chang'an were rumbling, and ten thousand soldiers were in order. After some mobilization by the generals, they all mounted their horses and headed for Dengzhou.

They would board a boat from Dengzhou and go to sea, cross the Bohai Sea, and arrive at the mouth of the Baijiang River in Baekje.

The expedition ceremony was very low-key. This time it was a hasty recruitment and dispatch of troops. The commander-in-chief of the army, Sun Renshi, was still commanding the navy on the battleship in the Bohai Sea. The land manager Liu Rengui led his troops to withdraw to the territory of Silla after being raided by the Japanese.

Therefore, the team that set out from Chang'an actually did not have a coach. To be precise, they were a support force.

Li Qinzai was covered in armor, and the heavy armor made it difficult for him to walk.

After the army departed, he stayed at the rear of the team and set off with the baggage army escorting the food, grass and weapons.

This is the responsibility of the marching commander Shi. In this army escorting the baggage, Li Qinzai not only has the highest official position, but is also the only one with a title.

Facing the rising sun in the morning, Li Qinzai set out on the journey with his relatives and loved ones in mind. We provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.
