The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

In the Chengqing Hall, Taizong was discussing matters with his eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling. Since Du Ruhui passed away due to illness, Taizong lost a think tank when his ministers were discussing military and state affairs. When making up my mind, I always feel a deep sense of fatigue.

Taizong looked at Fang Xuanling and his eldest grandson Wuji, and couldn't help but think: Fortunately, Du Keming has left behind a good son. When that young man grows up, he wonders if he can take on the important task of supporting the community.

Seeing that the weather is getting colder and the Jingwei River is about to freeze again, the Turkic people would go south to herd horses at this time of year every year. The climate on the grassland is very cold, and there is a terrible cold current. If the day could not go on, soldiers would enter the Central Plains to plunder. Every time this time came, it was also Taizong's most troublesome period of time.

Fortunately, the Duke of Wei Li Jing came into this chapter a few days ago and said that the [-] horses promised before were ready. After the Battle of Weiqiao, Taizong and Li Jing talked about military affairs. Therefore, the horse administration must be reopened, and war horses should be kept for military use.Now after four years of training, the war horse is finally finished.

After Taizong read Li Jing's memorial, he sent someone to summon Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji into the palace. After Feng Deyi died of illness last month, the power of the imperial family was greatly reduced, and Taizong also took the opportunity to promote a large number of poor families. A scholar from a family background originally wanted to let Changsun Wuji go further and ascend the throne of You Pushe, but the Empress Changsun repeatedly advised him. Finally, Taizong was moved and had no choice but to give up this idea and let Fang Xuanling The official residence is shot by the right servant, and he commands all the officials.

When Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji entered the palace, Taizong circulated Li Jing's playbook to them. After reading it, they both knew that Taizong was going to prepare for the Northern Expedition this time.

Four years have passed since the shame of Weiqiao, but the shameful humiliation of buying back the Turkic people was like a huge rock, and it was pressed in the hearts of Emperor Taizong. Of course, the Northern Expedition must be completed, but has the time come? arrive?This is the question that Emperor Taizong and his ministers have to consider.

Just as he was talking, the servant Wang De came to report, and the prince saw him.

Taizong was slightly surprised. He also knew Li Chengqian's whereabouts very well recently. Although he didn't believe that his eldest son could train a strong army, seeing that Li Chengqian was able to devote himself to military matters, Taizong felt relieved.

When Li Chengqian entered, he first paid a visit to Emperor Taizong: "Your ministers see the emperor!"

Taizong was quite satisfied with Li Chengqian's recent performance. He nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm flat!"

After Li Chengqian got up, he saluted Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling again. He knew that these two were Taizong's right-hand men, not to mention that Changsun Wuji was his uncle, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect.

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were also overjoyed to see Li Chengqian's gentleness and modesty. They were the ones who put the Great Tang Dynasty in their hearts. They were naturally happy that the prince of the country could do this.

"Why are you here, why are you here!"

Li Chengqian said: "My minister has been ordered to practice the Flying Tiger Army. It has been more than five months now. Now the Flying Tiger Army has begun to take shape. This minister is here to invite Father Emperor to parade!"

"Oh!"

Taizong couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words, the purpose of letting the prince perform the Flying Tiger Army was just to confuse Jieli, except for telling Fang Xuanling not to make any mistakes, he never asked about it, but he never thought that Li Chengqian would come today He also said that the Flying Tiger Army had begun to take shape.

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were also very surprised. The two of them knew what Taizong was up to, especially Changsun Wuji, who wanted to comfort Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian often lived in the military camp during this time. He didn't have a suitable opportunity, but he never thought that Li Chengqian would be able to train the Flying Tiger Army.

Taizong is now hesitating about whether he should go to the Northern Expedition. Now that he heard Li Chengqian's words, he wanted to go and see. Even if Li Chengqian has developed a skill, he should encourage him. This eldest son has always been criticized for being too cowardly. However, it would be a good thing if the Flying Tiger Army can really pass the matter and stabilize the reserve position.

"Since the crown prince said that the Flying Tiger Army has begun to take shape, I will go and have a look, Auxiliary Machine, Xuan Ling, and you all go together!"

Taizong made a decree, and Ma Xuanliang had already prepared it, and the monarch and his ministers rushed to the barracks of the Flying Tiger Army together.

Du Rui has been training soldiers and horses with Li Chengqian during this time. Although he has never joined the army in his previous life, he has also practiced the war strategy and the essence of previous wars for a long time, but Du Rui was useless at that time. In the land of martial arts, now in a world of great struggle, Du Rui applied some of his military training experience in his previous life to this Flying Tiger Army. After five months, he has achieved little.

When Taizong's father and son monarchs and officials arrived, Du Rui was watching the sergeant's drill. The original 4000-strong Flying Tiger Army now only has more than [-] people left. The Tiger Army can be called an elite division, the only thing they lack is actual combat experience.

Taizong's chariots and horses drove to the front of the camp, and soldiers on guard had already stopped the chariots and horses. Seeing this, Li Chengqian hurried out and retreated the guards. Seeing this, Taizong couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't you want to learn from Zhou Yafu once?" !"

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "I dare not, but the military camp is an important place, how can I go in and out without orders!"

Taizong nodded when he heard this, and said, "God! It's not easy for you to understand this! Let's go and see how your trainers are doing!"

Li Chengqian originally wanted to call Du Rui to meet him, but was stopped by Taizong: "Damn! This Flying Tiger Army's drill, Du Rui can contribute a lot!"

Li Chengqian said: "Returning to my father, Du Chengming is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, but my son is not as good as it. The Flying Tiger Army's drills and training outline are all written by Du Chengming!"

Fang Xuanling, who was beside Taizong, couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words. Before that, he only knew that Du Rui was talented in literature, but he didn't expect that he also had research on the art of military formation. Proficient in the art of war, he was relieved immediately.

Taizong stationed the chariots and horses aside, watching the soldiers drill from a distance, but seeing that although there were more than a thousand soldiers, but the formation changed, the soldiers swung their weapons and roared, but there was an unspeakable momentum, and he couldn't help being overjoyed.

"Damn! You really practiced well."

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "It's all due to Du Chengming, I dare not be my father's compliment!"

Taizong said with a smile: "Du Rui is good at generals. As the heir of a country, Gan'er is rare as long as he is good at generals!"

After Taizong said that, he led people up to the Martial Arts Stage. Du Rui had already seen Taizong's arrival, so he hurriedly prayed and said long live.

Taizong waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be too polite, just continue to perform!"

Du Rui replied: "The military drill has been completed, and the next step is to practice special subjects!"

Taizong wondered: "What is a special subject!"

Du Rui looked at Li Chengqian with his eyes, and Li Chengqian understood it, and hurriedly replied: "Success to my father! This special subject is a new type of soldier that I have learned after I studied with Du Chengming. I call it a special soldier. Its actions are unique. It has the characteristics of special purpose, careful planning, unique method, various means, concealment and suddenness, and quick decision."

When Taizong heard the words, he still didn't understand what he meant, so he said, "Come and see the drill!"

Du Rui was ordered to wave the command flag, and all the soldiers in the audience immediately divided into several teams, and performed subjects such as assault, infiltration, assassination, etc. Taizong watched with horror, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Originally, I only thought about Li Chengqian and Du Rui, the two young monarchs and ministers. As long as they can train soldiers with a little combat effectiveness, it would be good, but I didn't expect to get such an unexpected strong soldier. There are still many dissatisfaction with the Tang version of the special forces, but in the eyes of the ancients like Taizong, they are already very rare elite teachers.

"Good! Good! Good!" Taizong said three good words in succession, looked at Li Chengqian and Du Rui, and said, "I have gained a lot here today, and it is all the work of the crown prince and Du Chengming. I must reward you! Come, give the crown prince a seal." Thousands of households in the city, Du Ruijia the rank of doctor of the Ministry of War, Lieutenant of the Feihu Army, and a hundred households in the city!"

When Li Chengqian and Du Rui heard the words, they all bowed and said: "My ministers (grassmen) dare not obey the order!"

Taizong wondered: "Why is this? You should be rewarded for training such a strong army for the country. Why do you refuse!"

Li Chengqian said: "My son is a prince, and it is his duty to share his worries for the country. How can he ask for a reward instead of doing what is his duty? I feel uneasy!"

Taizong nodded and said with great satisfaction: "I am very happy to be dedicated to the country. Then Du Rui, why don't you want to award it!?"

Du Rui said: "The grass people are young, and they haven't done anything. How can they occupy an important position in one day? The grass people came here just to show their friendship, and they never thought of any rewards. Besides, the grass people are only ignorant teenagers. I'm afraid that they won't be able to bear the burden From the great love of the Holy One!"

Taizong nodded again when he heard the words, and suddenly thought that Du Rui was very knowledgeable, why not ask him about the Northern Expedition, maybe he can have some insights!
