I have a backstage in Datang

"Cheng Shiqi is a man who risked the military law to send troops privately. Although this guy will inevitably be questioned by the commander, but his behavior of leading the whole battalion to save people is commendable... Such a man should not fall into the enemy's hands." .”

"There is also Chen Luo, he also dispatched the whole battalion. Why didn't I find out before, this kid turned out to be a bitch."

"It's a pity that he also fell there. Now Goguryeo has three cities rushing to help. According to the reports from the frontline scouts, the two sides fought for a whole day and night..."

"His mother, can they rush to help us, can't we? Brothers, do you dare to mobilize soldiers and horses to fight?"

First, one or two rushed to the mansion, and gradually the news spread more and more widely. Countless mansion soldiers were furious, and the atmosphere of the war gradually permeated.

The government soldiers were just angry, while the captains of Zhechong were full of anger. Since ancient times, anyone who can be a general has an impulsive factor in his bones, and they attach great importance to the friendship in the army. The most furious thing is to hear that their comrades are being bullied ...

There were more than 600 Zhechong mansions in the Tang Dynasty, and all of them were conscripted by Li Shimin this time, which meant that there were more than 600 Zhechong captains gathered in the border camp at this time.

More than 600 Zhechong captains, that is, more than 600 generals, when this group of furious men became impulsive, no one in the world could stop their anger from sending troops.

Moreover, it is difficult to hold accountable afterwards.

why?

The reason is very simple...there are so many people, the law does not blame the crowd, the most important thing is that they dare not blame the crowd. Although the official position of Captain Zhechong is not particularly high, so many captains Zhechong combined cannot be underestimated.

Today’s Datang has a total of 643 Zhechong mansions, which are used to manage all the soldiers across the country. Each Zhechong mansion is equipped with a Zhechong captain and two deputy chief officers, Guo Yi. The Zhechong mansion is divided into upper, middle, and lower three. And so on, the military establishment varies greatly.

For example, Zhechong Shangfu, the mansion is full of 1200 soldiers, and the official position of Zhechong Captain is from the fourth rank. This level is already eligible to enter the court.

And such a captain of Shangfu Zhechong now has a total of 61 people in the camp twenty miles away from the border.

Another example is Zhechong Zhongfu, the mansion is full of 1000 soldiers, and the official positions are set from the fourth rank, which belongs to the generals who have entered the correct sequence... Note that they are not partial generals, but justifiable generals.Such generals now have a total of 150 people in the camp twenty miles from the border.

The last is Zhechong Xiafu, with a full staff of 800 people. The official position of the captain of Zhechong is the fifth rank, and the magistrate of Shangxian County in Datang is only the fifth rank.

If we use the official positions of later generations to compare, Captain Zhechong is equivalent to the bureau level, in other words, this is a group of military commanders...

More than 600 generals are equivalent to more than 600 commanders of military divisions. Just imagine if they sent troops together in a rage, no matter how strict the law was, they would not dare to punish them.

Fortunately, at this time there is still the calm-headed Captain Zhechong.

They kept persuading their colleagues and barely suppressed the deterioration of the situation. However, although they managed to persuade most of their colleagues, some captains Zhechong still sent troops after all.

The 72 Zhechong Barracks brazenly crossed the border...

Send troops, rush to help!

This is only the second day of the conflict!

……

It was impossible to hide such a big movement from the commanding officer of the Chinese army. Li Shimin was so furious that he wanted to send out military judges, and even prepared to use Baiqisi to capture all the Zhechong captains.

However, none of the handsome camp persuaded the emperor to calm down.

It's just the emperor roaring, it's not like everyone hasn't seen it before, what can roaring do, can't kill everyone, right?The most important thing is that everyone can see that Li Shimin's roar is purely acting...

Don't look at Li Shimin's throwing and smashing, it's just a gesture. The emperor seems to be furious, but he is actually pretending. Otherwise, how could he wait until the Zhechong captains sent troops to get angry?Ordinarily, the battalions should be strictly ordered not to move rashly at the first time.

To put it bluntly, the emperor was just cooperating with someone's plan.

There are no idiots who can be generals, and even less fools who can enter the handsome camp, and there are a few handsome talents among this group of generals, and they belong to the elite among the elite...

then!

All sorts of coordinated plays appeared.

For example, Li Jing's face was serious, and his brows were full of majesty. Whenever Li Shimin roared, the military god would nod his head solemnly, and said: "Violation of military law, sending troops without permission, arrest, must be arrested."

Another example is Xu Shiji, with a cold expression on his face, he said angrily: "Let someone go and check, what are the 72 Zhechong mansions that sent troops, and the 72 Zhechong captains, none of them will escape punishment afterwards."

These words sound murderous, but the taste has changed. He didn't mention arresting people at all, but said a sentence of punishment after the event lightly.

In addition to these two handsome men, there were more than a dozen princes in the camp. Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin let out a yell, as if he had a fire in his chest, and cursed: "Damn it, these 72 little bastards are good!" Bold. This time a million troops are displayed on the frontier. They all belong to my army on the left. However, this group of youngsters don’t pay attention to me as a general at all. From the beginning to the end, no one reported to me about the dispatch of troops. Thing... Damn it, you are fat, Lao Cheng will definitely be punished severely afterwards, everyone will be beaten with at least [-] army sticks, Your Majesty, please don't stop me, Lao Cheng is full of anger now, he must be punished. Kill a few people to vent your anger..."

Li Shimin's face twitched a few times, and he stared at him quietly.

More than a dozen princes in the camp tried their best to hold back their laughter, when suddenly Liu Hongji, the prince of Kui, secretly gave a thumbs up, moved close to Lao Cheng and winked, and said, "Cheng Zhijie, with you, you know that His Majesty is acting, but you dare to snatch him?" His Majesty's limelight."

Old Cheng also winked, and asked with a low smile, "How is it? Is our old Cheng's posture really true just now?"

Liu Hongji gave a thumbs up again and said, "It's true, it's absolutely true."

"enough!"

Hearing Li Shimin stop drinking, he raised his hand and grabbed an inkstone from the table and threw it at him. He said coldly, "Have you guys had enough trouble? Let me analyze it together with you. By the way, send someone to Youyun Camp, Ask if my brother-in-law has come back. If he has come back, let him immediately roll in front of me, and I will ask him carefully, what kind of plan is he planning... a million troops, a war between two countries, such a dangerous place In the bureau, he actually used the tricks of a child to play house."

"Your Majesty, this is not a way for children to play house!"

Xu Shiji stood up first, cupped his hands and gave a slight salute to the emperor, and then said: "If my guess is correct, Lord Gu is going to directly trigger a big war. Although he wants to trigger a big war, he doesn't send troops from the commander-in-chief. The danger of a few scouts has aroused the common hatred of millions of troops..."

Li Shimin snorted softly, and said: "Since ancient times, battles have been dangerous, and wars have never been fought like this. Without the consideration of the generals, without military deliberation, a million-level war was triggered by the danger of a dozen small soldiers." Great battle. If his behavior is not a joke, what else in the world can be considered a joke?"

Li Jing also stood up, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty's words, I dare not communicate with you. On the contrary, I agree with Xu Shiji's conclusion, thinking that this is Lord Gu's stroke of genius."

Then Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian County, stood up and said slowly: "Since ancient times, morale comes first in wars. Gu Tianya's intention is very clear. He wants to arouse the common hatred of millions of troops. Once the morale is aroused, it will be like a torrent. When the time comes, push Liaodong horizontally, and one battle will determine the fate..."

The first prince paused for a while, and then said: "On the contrary, the strategy and plan that His Majesty questioned just now are not very meaningful to the level of a war between the two countries. Because when the scale of the war reaches a certain level , any strategy and art of war will not be very effective. Only by fighting fiercely, only by working hard without fear of death, going forward indomitably, and fighting in anger, can the war be won and the enemy can be destroyed. "

The dozen or so princes in the camp nodded in unison.

Li Shimin vaguely nodded slightly.

But the emperor quickly snorted again, and said: "I don't listen to you, you are all helping him to say good things, even if he did the right thing, but he is too courageous, at least he should discuss it with me, let I have something in my heart to prepare for..."

Fang Xuanling chuckled, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty didn't realize it? Lord Gu has actually discussed it with you! He took a few disciples to Liaodong that day, and came to say goodbye to you before leaving. At that time, Your Majesty You already know that Lord Gu's visit will definitely make some noise."

Li Shimin snorted again, and said, "I just didn't want to hit him so loudly. This brat, this brat..."

The emperor paused for a while, then suddenly brought up the topic just now, and said, "Send someone to the Youyun camp to ask, and see if this kid has come back?"

Cheng Yaojin stood up and clasped his fists, and replied: "Your Majesty, there is no need to send someone there. I just went to see it this morning, and the person didn't come back. He is still in Liaodong."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, his tone obviously worried, and said: "Now that his intention has been achieved, and the anger of the soldiers is brewing, why hasn't this kid come back? After all, it is within the territory of Goguryeo. Once a big war breaks out, who will I dare not guarantee safety, even a battle-tested general may fall into the hands of a group of pawns..."

The emperor said as if he was thinking of planning something, looked straight at Cheng Yaojin, and asked anxiously, "Did Gu Chang'e go with him?"

Old Cheng hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook his head, and said, "No, Fairy Gu didn't follow this time, it seems that Brother Gu strictly forbade her to stay in Youyun and promised to protect Princess Pingyang. What did you say that you were worried about the war?" It's dangerous, so his sister must ensure the safety of his sister-in-law."

Li Shimin was furious immediately, and said: "Xiu Ning has experienced hundreds of battles, how can she be in danger easily? Besides, she is the marshal of You Yun's army, and she will definitely not go to the battlefield during the war, but sit in the commander's camp and command the troops. Scheduling, how can this be dangerous, but if the kid stays in Liaodong, he will be in danger..."

The atmosphere in the camp visibly stagnated.

After a long time passed, someone said with a sigh: "Maybe your majesty has forgotten that Lord Gu once said a word, that day in the temporary court hall in Youzhou City, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty discussed the outcome of the war. The thing, Lord Gu once said at the time that he would go to the battlefield with the soldiers... Now that he is staying in Liaodong and not coming back, it is obvious that he really wants to go to the battlefield to fight!"

Needle drop could be heard throughout the camp.

Li Shimin shook his body, and suddenly shouted loudly. The emperor seemed extremely angry, and his anger was full of worry. He roared: "This brat, who does he think he is? He can't even hold a knife, and he wants to go to the battlefield!" .Who can he beat? He can't even beat a pawn..."

Everyone present could see that the emperor was really worried, otherwise he wouldn't be so furious. This time, it wasn't a staged rage.

Suddenly, Li Shimin's gaze swept across the crowd, and he strode up to a person to kiss him. The emperor's face was extremely solemn, and he cupped his hands and fists towards that person, and said after taking a deep breath, "Second Brother Qin..."

Li Shimin only said three words, but Qin Qiong, who was saluted by him, nodded solemnly.

I saw Qin Qiong's gaze showing solemnity, nodded slowly and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I immediately ordered a soldier, the official position of the minister has reached the peak in this life, and there is no need to make meritorious service after being named the founder of the country, so this I will not fight on the battlefield again, and I will put all my mind on Lord Gu. As long as there is one soldier under my command, as long as I am not dead, then I will not let Lord Gu appear. accident……"

Li Shimin took a deep breath again and said, "Second brother Qin, you should leave now. I will give you the command arrow of the black armored cavalry, and you will go directly to Liaodong with 3000 people. If you find that brat, immediately bring him back to me." .”

Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment, but shook his head for some reason, and persuaded the emperor in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please withdraw this order. I think that Lord Gu cannot be brought back."

As he spoke, his voice became lower and deeper, and he said to the emperor with deep meaning: "Your Majesty should know that Brother Gu has a very stubborn temper. In his heart, he has always felt guilty. He thinks that he initiated this war, which led to the death of Million Mansion. The soldiers had to gather. He was worried that the soldiers would die in battle, and he was afraid that the women and children would lose their husbands, so he kept planning before the big battle and armed almost every soldier. However, even so, his heart was still uneasy... This uneasy feeling is the guilt unique to a weak-hearted person like him."

Li Shimin remained silent, and after a long time, he hated iron and steel and said: "As a superior, I can't be cruel. This brat, I really want to..."

The emperor was ruthless for a long time, but he never said what he wanted to do to Gu Tianya.

Qin Qiong sighed softly, then lowered his voice and said: "I may not be able to understand brother Gu's softness, but I believe that we should respect and support his choice. Your Majesty, you are welcome!" Let him stay on the battlefield, maybe when he holds a weapon and fights side by side with the soldiers, the guilt and insecurity in his heart can be truly let go."

Li Shimin nodded slowly in agreement, but his face was serious, and he told Qin Qiong again: "You must ensure his safety."

Qin Qiong stopped talking, but turned around and strode out of the camp, until his figure disappeared from the eyes of everyone, a solemn word came from afar: "Promise is not light, care is not up to others, Shandong Qin Shubao, promise this promise."

Li Shimin exhaled lightly, and his brows relaxed slightly.

……

And at this time in Liaodong.

On a hill somewhere in Goguryeo.

Gu Tianya sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, looking at the battlefield down the mountain from afar.

Suddenly Cheng Chumo walked up behind him and reported with a small flash card in his hand: "Master, another 72 Zhechong Mansions have been dispatched. Sure enough, as you guessed, they all belong to the West Road of the Tang Mansion Soldiers." Army."

Amidst the whistling of the wind, Gu Tianya slowly opened his mouth and said, "This is the comradeship of soldiers. When comrades in arms are in danger, the first to move is the same army."

Chapter 385 [In a battle of millions of people, I, Gu Tianya, take the lead]

I have a backstage in Datang Chapter 385 of the main text [A battle of millions of people, I, Gu Tianya, take the lead] Every time Gu Tianya asks a question, Cheng Chumo will definitely shrink back.

Followed by Li Chongyi and Fang Yiai, these two brothers are also not like to use their brains, but this time it is different, Gu Tianya asked about the war.

"Master, I know..."

Cheng Chumo was the first to answer, and blurted out: "I heard from Cheng Shiqiu and the others before that there are three strongest relationships in this world. They carried guns together, went to the same window together, and went whoring together in Chang... er, master Don't stare at me, this is what Cheng Shiqi and the others told me, and it probably means, that is to say, the relationship between the comrades in the army is iron!"

Under Gu Tianya's gaze, this guy shrank his head shyly and dared not speak any more.

Li Chongyi smirked twice, winked and said: "Eldest brother's answer is vulgar, but it is also true. Since ancient times, soldiers in the army have a deep bond of friendship. It is said that brothers are like siblings, and wives are like clothes. Who dares to touch my siblings? must wear his clothes..."

This guy's voice became softer as he spoke, trembling in Gu Tianya's eyes that hated iron and steel.

Fang Yiai was ready to answer excitedly, but when he saw the situation of the two senior brothers, he suddenly felt that things were not going well. This kid finally got smart, and turned his head to look down the mountain, pretending to observe the battlefield.

Fortunately, there are more than the three of Gu's disciples.

The remaining three disciples looked at each other, first Xiao Wang Bo walked up to Gu Tianya, raised his head and said, "Master, you want to bridge the gap, right?"

Followed by the sixth disciple Hu Yun, he said: "At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the army was divided into three divisions. The Tiance Mansion was the first faction, the Women's Army was the first faction, and as for the last faction, it was the faction of the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace... The factions in the Prince's Mansion are subdivided into two camps. One is to hand over the soldiers and horses owned by the Supreme Emperor to the Prince, and the other is to cobble together troops from all the major families in the world."

He paused while talking, hesitated for a while and said: "The disciple is from a noble family, and I have a deep memory of this. At the beginning of the incident at Xuanwumen, all the troops in the Prince's Mansion were killed and injured, and the power of the noble family in the army was wiped out. , but it wasn’t just people from the aristocratic family who were wiped out. For example, the once loyal Prince Wei rate, they also died in that war..."

The seventh disciple, Zhang Wei, said in a low voice, "The enmity between life and death is the greatest enmity in the world. My father and uncle are both generals of the Tiance Mansion, and they made great contributions in that accident. After ascending the throne, they all entered the court."

"However, even though they are now the princes of the state, they still can't let go of the hatred deep in their hearts. Every time they talk and behave, they will inadvertently reveal their hatred for the Prince's Mansion..."

The little guy stopped talking, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "My father and uncle are the victors, and as the victors, they still can't let go of their hatred. From this, it can be inferred that the hatred of the loser has something to do with it." How strong is it?"

The three disciples answered in succession, looked at each other again, then looked at Gu Tianya at the same time, and said in unison: "Master, you want to eliminate the barrier between them."

Gu Tianya was very pleased.

It was night at this time, and the battlefield at the foot of the mountain was still full of killing noises. He stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, looked down the mountain from a distance, and said slowly: "The hatred of that group of people back then was born from the fighting. If you want to eliminate it, you can only do it from fighting..."

He paused slightly as he spoke, continued to stare at the foot of the mountain, and said slowly: "For example, Cheng Shiqi and Chen Luo, who were born in the Tiance Mansion and the aristocratic family respectively. During the battle of Xuanwumen, Chen Luo was defeated by Cheng Shiqi. Qi slashed with a knife. It is said that Chen Luo has always held a grudge in his heart, and he keeps this grudge on his lips all the time. His greatest wish is to get back the knife he suffered."

"But when Cheng Shiqi led the army into trouble, the first captain Zhechong to rescue was Chen Luo. At that moment, he put aside his personal grudges. At that moment, the love of fellow soldiers of the Tang Dynasty prevailed."

"Afterwards, the soldiers and horses led by Chen Luo also fell into a predicament, which triggered the collective dispatch of the entire Datang Mansion Bing West Road Army. There were 72 Zhechong Mansions and 72 Zhechong Captains. Among these people were from Tiance Mansion, There are also generals from aristocratic factions like Chen Luo."

"They have hatred for each other, but when they heard that their comrades were in danger, they chose to let go of their personal hatred without hesitation."

"There has been an old saying since ancient times that the enemy of life and death cannot be sworn together, but there is another famous saying that the grace of saving a life is greater than the sky."

"At the beginning of the Xuanwumen incident, they established a life-and-death enmity, and today they came to the battlefield to help, and they owed a life-saving grace... Hatred can actually be let go, but kindness takes a lifetime to repay. Therefore, the internal barriers that once plagued the entire Tang Dynasty have finally met. The time has come to make amends."

When Gu Tianya said this, he let out a breath slowly, and said softly: "After this battle, there will be no more gaps within the Tang Dynasty, the forces of all parties will merge into one, and the Han nation will become a monolith again. By then , takeoff is not far away..."

Cheng Chu had been hiding in the back silently for a long time, at this moment he suddenly mustered up the courage to step forward, and said in a low voice: "But Master, you said a few days ago that a conflict broke out between those people in the court. Some people still want to fight in this great war."

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, and said with deep meaning: "We shouldn't abandon healthy competition, even if the Tang Dynasty becomes monolithic internally, but there must be some competition... After all, there is a deep hatred between them, it is impossible to do it Let go of everything without any barriers."

Cheng Chu was thoughtful, and said: "So this big battle has become another kind of competition for them, allowing them to turn all their grievances into fighting power, right?"

Gu Tianya nodded, but he didn't make a clear reply. Instead, he turned his eyes down the mountain again, looking at the battlefield from a distance.

Suddenly he let out a breath slowly, and said softly: "After this battle, I will also get out. I have done enough for Datang, and I should think about myself in the future."

The disciples were startled for a moment, then their eyes flashed with excitement, and they said in surprise, "Master, are you finally going to establish your own country?"

Cheng Chumo spoke first, and said with an expectant face: "Now the five prefectures of Youyun have been stabilized, and the Yunzhou in the west has always been supported by His Royal Highness King Qi. The king of Qi has a fierce personality and his reputation shocks the Western Regions, so Yunzhou is far away from Youyun. , but there is no need to worry about problems over there..."

Li Chongyi followed closely: "Secondly, there is Tanzhou, which is the hometown of Master. During the first battle of Liang Guo, Master led his troops to defeat the three states of Yunwei Dynasty. Afterwards, he exchanged the two states of Wei Dynasty. We have transferred to Tanzhou in the hands of the Li family."

Fang Yiai worked hard to participate in this topic, and said anxiously: "In this way, the territory controlled by Master is already seven states."

The sixth disciple, Hu Yun, added, "And these seven prefectures are all very large, equivalent to the [-] prefectures in the hinterland of the Central Plains. If you only calculate the territory, it is almost equivalent to half of the Great Tang..."
