Having said that...

Kong Ming shook his feather fan and sighed:

If Yide leads the troops in this battle...

Seeing Zhang Fei's eager eyes, Kong Ming clearly stopped the topic:

never mind.

In short, the defeat in this battle was both expected and unexpected.

As he spoke, Kong Ming’s eyes became distant and he said:

It is expected that because the Tang Dynasty valued military merit and had the method of kindness, it only took one or two generations for the leader to no longer be the general who fought in hundreds of battles at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. His ability to defeat the enemy was the same as that since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. There’s no comparison.”

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect this defeat to happen so quickly.

Kong Ming suddenly remembered the name Zhuge Zhan in his heart.

Just because he was his descendant, he was entrusted with important tasks by Liu Chan. However, later generations said that his talent and temperament were mediocre, and he eventually died in the country.

Most of the descendants cannot surpass their parents, but they often live in dangerous and noble positions... It is okay to be mediocre, but if they are narrow-minded, they will cause more disaster than ordinary people.

So although this biological son has not yet appeared, Kong Ming has already planned for him in advance:

Come study this science with daddy!

[The defeat of Dafeichuan completely ended the Tang army's winning streak. After that, the generals in Gaozong's dynasty basically became fire-fighting captains.

Today we will pacify Tubo, tomorrow we will pacify the Turks, the day after tomorrow we will pacify Baekje, and the day after tomorrow the four towns of Anxi are in turmoil again.

Among them, there are two people who are more good-looking in putting out fires. One is our old friend Xue Rengui, and the other is Su Dingfang's apprentice Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian had an older brother named Pei Xingyan, a famous general in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

As we said before, when people in the Ming Dynasty made up the romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they created Pei Yuanqing, a macho man based on Pei Xingyan. He was a powerful man, but he was unlucky.

The UP owner thinks it may be because his younger brother has sucked all the luck out of the old Pei family.

When Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan rebelled, Pei Xingjian was just born in his hometown and was very lucky to escape.

When Pei Xingjian grew up, the troubled times just passed and he successfully obtained the Tang Dynasty household registration.

Because the Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui Dynasty, the plan of the old Pei family and his son was considered a rebellion to Wang Shichong, but it was a meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty.

After Zhonglie, Pei Xingjian.

Relying on the merits of his father and brother, Pei Xingjian was sent directly to the Imperial College to study, and the state took care of everything including food and clothing.

Pei Xingjian's schooling can be said to have been smooth sailing, and he also found time to practice calligraphy, which made him quite famous.

But after graduation, employment became a problem again. Under the overall atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Xingjian chose to join the army and wanted to start from the grassroots level.

Unfortunately, Pei Xingjian was not careful when filling out his application form. In the end, Pei Xingjian was assigned to Zuotunwei as Cang Cao joined the army. This land belonged to Kuang Dao Prefecture, a classic place where birds did not poop. Cang Cao was supposed to look after the warehouse.

Pei Xingjian was so young that he was almost stupid, but his father and brother rebelled so early that he had no right to move around, so he could only accept his fate.

Su Dingfang, the boss of this place, finds it interesting that there are still young people willing to come here?

So Su Dingfang, who was sweeping the street, sent an invitation to Pei Xingjian, who was looking at the warehouse:

When I use soldiers, there is no one who can teach me in this world, but I am a wise man now.

In this way, Pei Xingjian became a disciple of a famous general.

The master and apprentice spent ten peaceful years in Kuang Dao Mansion, sweeping the streets, looking at warehouses, studying the art of war, and watching the news.

For example, the prince rebelled, Erfeng personally conquered the country, Hou Junji was beheaded, Changsun Wuji took power, etc. They belong to the VIP audience.

It can be enjoyable to watch without blood splattering on your body.

We also know what happened later. Su Dingfang was picked up from the auditorium by Li Zhi to go on an expedition for the country.

The master finally took off, and naturally he could not forget his good apprentice. Soon Pei Xingjian was transferred to Chang'an County Magistrate, and his official career was expected to take off.

There is always a but-to in everything, and the young and energetic Pei Xingjian quickly participated in the court struggle to depose the king and establish a military force and stood unequivocally on Changsun Wuji's side.

But in the eyes of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, your master hasn't spoken yet, so why are you talking so much?

After a transfer order, Pei Xingjian was promoted from Chang'an County Magistrate to Governor of Xizhou Prefecture.

Pei Xingjian worked here for 20 years by studying the art of war with Su Dingfang during his ten years in the warehouse, and he did so with great success. His position was promoted again and again, and he eventually became the top leader in the Western Regions.

The protector of Anxi was Pei Xingjian.

According to historical records, many countries in the Western Regions attached themselves to Yi.

As was the tradition during the Xuanzong period, this kind of feudal official needed to return to Beijing to serve as an official after retiring from office, not only to serve as a consultant to the central government, but also to enjoy peace and happiness.

But this happiness was destined to miss Pei Xingjian.

Shortly after the defeat of Dafeichuan, Tubo reached out to the Western Regions, intending to unite the Western Turks to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing the news, Li Zhi once again fell into a dilemma. After all, the journey was long and the use of troops was a large expense.

When consulting Pei Xingjian, Su Dingfang's old apprentice gave Li Zhi a surprise.

Pei Xingjian said that the rebellion could be quelled with just one hand, and all he had to do was ask His Majesty to lend him a man.

Li Zhi was curious, who could be so capable?

Pei Xingjian replied: Prince of Persia, legal heir to the Sasanian dynasty, master of nirvana. 】

The joy on Li Shimin's face almost overflowed:

This Pei Xingjian is also a general?

Su Dingfang, who also looked happy, turned around and looked:

Your Majesty knows this person?

Su Dingfang has also experienced troubled times, so he is no stranger to the father and brother Pei Xingyan and Pei Renji, but he is really not familiar with their family members.

Li Shimin didn't need to speak, Fang Xuanling had already answered on his behalf:

This son just turned ten years old last year. His Majesty thought that his father had made achievements in rebelling against Wang Shichong, so he specially ordered him to enter the Xiuwen Academy.

Su Dingfang was immediately overjoyed. Naturally, he knew clearly over the years in Chang'an that Xiu Wen Guan, in common people's terms, was a royal private school that was difficult for ordinary people to enter.

Li Shimin nodded reservedly. Seeing Duan Zhixuan's failure to defeat Tuyuhun before, he had lamented that there was no successor to the fierce general.

The results are now full of surprises.

Thirty-year-old Su Dingfang, sixteen-year-old Xue Rengui, and only now learned about eleven-year-old Pei Xingjian.

Although Pei Xingjian's achievements are not yet known, he can be said to be talented simply because he started as the governor of the state and eventually became the governor of Anxi.

I don't know where Pei Xingjian lives. I will pay him a visit tomorrow to test his military strategy.

Su Dingfang glanced at Li Shixi happily, waiting for His Majesty to give him Pei Xingjian's address.

This Xu Maogong just had a superior-subordinate friendship with Xue Rengui.

He and Pei Xingjian were real masters and disciples!

Li Shi looked at Su Dingfang's face with unbearable expression:

Don’t you know that His Majesty is very thirsty for talents?

No, we cannot say that we are thirsty for talents. We should say that we are thirsty for talents.

Li Shimin's face was full of joy:

After today's work, Xuan Ling summoned Pei Xingjian into the palace. I want to see him.

Su Dingfang, who looked forward to it, watched Fang Xuanling accept the order. His Majesty was speechless and became a little anxious on the spot: Where am I?

Looking at Su Dingfang's expression, Li Shimin's face was filled with concern:

After today's work, Dingfang should recharge his batteries, review the art of war, and practice martial arts.

Next year when the troops march to Tuyuhun, they must be appointed as the vanguard!

The underlying meaning is very clear: Don't think about it as a disciple, just go to Qinghai to make meritorious deeds.

Su Dingfang responded with complicated emotions.

Next to him, Li Jing shook his head inwardly: Even if Pei Xingjian hadn't suffered this fate, given how much His Majesty attaches great importance to him, the position of pioneer would still be indispensable.

Generals appeared one after another, and Yuchi Jingde felt pressure for the first time.

Now he can rely on his high achievements, one is because of the Xuanwu Sect, and the other is because he was an old minister of the Prince of Qin's palace at that time. Who can't sell face?

But these young generals who were revealed in advance by the light screen would definitely not accept this trick.

Whether it's Prince Qin's Mansion or Xuanwu Sect, they have nothing to do with them, and each of them is more capable than the other.

Yuchi Jingde felt that his ability to seize the halberd was already powerful enough.

As a result, Xue Rengui charged into the battle with bare hands and captured the general.

As a close minister, Yuchi Jingde was able to gauge His Majesty's temper in some matters.

If troops are used against Qinghai next year, Xue Rengui will definitely go out too!

The reason is very simple, because Huo Qubing made meritorious deeds at the age of eighteen.

If there was a seventeen-year-old general in the Tang Dynasty, then Yuchi Jingde would really be an old revolutionary.

Qin Qiong saw the complex changes in the old brother's face:

Why don't Jingde study the geography of Qinghai? Next year I will be the deputy general and you and I will lead an army together?

Yuchi Jingde looked happy and immediately promised:

When Shubao recovers completely, I will definitely serve as your lieutenant again!

But in the corner where no one cared, Hou Junji looked furious:

The prince is plotting rebellion?

But looking at the people talking and laughing as usual, he realized that everyone knew it.

Li Shimin didn't even look this way, so Hou Junji mustered up his courage and asked Changsun Wuji:

Duke Qi... was he involved in a rebellion? Was he the reason for this misfortune?

Changsun Wuji looked at Hou Junji with pity, thought about it seriously, and shook his head, which made Hou Junji breathe a sigh of relief.

Changsun Wuji’s idea is quite simple:

What does it mean to be involved?

It's obviously you who got my good nephew involved in the rebellion!

[Since the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks, the Tang Dynasty has solved the employment problem for the noble royal families of many surrounding countries.

Such as Jie Li, such as Fu Yun, such as Xiao Lu, such as the Gaochang royal family, such as the King of Qiuci, etc.

During the reign of Li Zhi, the Tang Dynasty even took in the de jure heirs of the Sasanian dynasty.

In the same year that Prime Minister Zhuge officially launched the Northern Expedition, Artaban V, the emperor of the Parthian Empire, died in Ormizdagan. The Parthian Empire, also known as the Parthian Empire, was officially destroyed.

The scripts of Ardashir and Erfeng are quite similar to some extent.

For example, he was also the second son. He once competed with his brother for power, but Ardashir was very lucky, or his brother was very unlucky and died from the ceiling of the conference room falling.

After his brother was gone, Ardashir killed all his brothers and became the undisputed high-ranking official of the Parthian Empire.

Later, relying on the territory of this province, they raised troops and won consecutive battles. Finally, the Persian Empire of Sassanid Dynasty was established to replace the Parthian Empire.

For example, Ardashir also has the title of Shah Khan Shah. The literal translation of this title can be called the King of Kings or the King of Kings, which is similar to Tian Khan.

As a country also located on the Silk Road, the Sassanid Dynasty had quite frequent exchanges with China. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were more than a dozen envoys in total. They could be considered as witnessing the division and reunification of the great Eastern countries.

In 638 AD, Erfeng personally received a letter from the far west:

Please give me a brother, please! 】

I feel like what I wrote two days ago was too dry. I’ll give it a try after seriously revising it. I’m sorry.
