Chapter 45: Exhortation

Li Longji then stopped and smiled and said, "There are only three of us here, so what's hard to say."

Pei Min said in a deep voice: "I have come to Jianghu, and I have a very understanding of the martial arts skills of Jianghu. Jianghu fights the arts of Jianghu fights. Jianghu fights the arts of Jianghu pay attention to changes in moves, pay attention to the combination of body and mind, and offense and defense. The method of fighting on the battlefield focuses on killing the enemy. The simpler the better, the more direct the better. Compared with the two, the method of fighting on the battlefield lacks changes. If you want to fight alone like a man in Jianghu fights alone, there will indeed be certain disadvantages. But things cannot

It depends on the general, and the martial arts of the world will never be separated from the sect. As long as we really reach the stance of yi, there is no difference between the world and the battlefield. People in the jianghu can make the battle simple and direct, and the generals can also be reduced to traditional and understand exquisite moves. Just like Hu Gong Qin Shubao in the early Tang Dynasty, he is famous in the world, but isn’t he invincible on the battlefield? If there are great tiger generals like Hu Gong in our court, how can he be the opponent? So "

He paused and said, "I think it is not Tubo's killer move to lose my face in the Tang Dynasty, but the lack of talents who can fight and dare to fight. It is not that the enemy is strong, but that we are weak. Your Majesty, think about the generals of the Twelve Guards during the Zhenguan period! Yuchi Jingde of E, Duke Duke Duan Zhixuan of Bao Duan Zhixuan, Duke Kui Liu Hongji, Duke Jiang Qu Tutong, Duke Pi Changsun Shunde, Duke Yun Zhang Liang, Duke Qiao Chai Shao and Hou Junji, Duke Zhang Jin, and Cheng Zhijie, who is not a tiger general who is famous for his many battles, but what about now?" His words did not explain, but his consciousness was very clear.

Li Longji had nothing to say. Half of the current generals of the twelve guards were heroes who followed him to fight twice, and half were veterans who were extremely experienced since the previous dynasty. Their qualifications were achieved, not fights on the battlefield.

To be honest, two-thirds of the generals of the 12 Guards have never been on the battlefield. Even those who have been on the battlefield are mostly small-scale fights and have not experienced any big battles.

"What Jingyuan said is indeed reasonable!" Li Longji sighed, "But this cannot completely shift the blame to them. In recent years, except for the wars in the northeast, Liaodong and Liaoxi, there have been no wars on the north, west and south. After a long period of neglect, it is naturally incomparable to the chaotic disputes of Emperor Taizong's period."

"It is because of this that it is worth worrying!" Pei Min said cautiously: "There is an old saying that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. I am used to comfort. But when the war comes, how can I resist it?"

Li Longji looked at Pei Min deeply and said, "You are thinking about it. I plan to mobilize 200,000 troops to gather at the foot of Mount Li to hold a military parade to show my importance to military training and can also show my prestige."

Pei Min's face was stiff. He couldn't remember if Li Longji didn't tell him about this. He heard him say this and immediately thought of such records in history. But the result was very deceptive. The military parade held by Li Longji was so popular that the flags lasted for more than fifty miles. However, various situations arose, resulting in the military's inconsolidation and the order was chaotic. Not only did it have no effect, it made a huge joke.

It’s also sad to say that the Tang Dynasty’s government soldiers are now a problem in training the whole team, let alone killing the enemy?

"Your Majesty, I think it's a bit inappropriate!" Pei Min said with a tough needle: "Now the military system of the government is corrupt, and the level of the soldiers is uneven. The next time, the gathering of 200,000 military parades will only cause greater turmoil, but it will be useless. If you want to use the military parade to promote the prestige of the country, you must at least first improve the quality of the military soldiers. Even directly change the recruitment system, and only when the soldiers have a fixed combat power will it be effective."

Li Longji pondered for a while and said, "Zhang Xiang has mentioned this to me recently. But Yao Xiang felt that the reckless military administration would have an impact on the military soldiers. There is no conclusion. Now it seems that the recruiting system must be on the charter as soon as possible. As for the military parade in Mount Li, let it go." He did not bother about this issue, but said, "Today, I think you are not very good at Tubo envoys, but because the Tubo envoys bullied me, there was no one in the Tang Dynasty?"

Pei Min said without hesitation: "On the one hand, it is because of them, how can I allow the southwestern barbarians to act as a might on my head? On the other hand, I feel that Tubo is not willing to show kindness to our Tang Dynasty, but is uneasy to be kind."

Li Longji said in a deep voice: "How do you say this?"

Pei Min said: "I regard Tubo and Turks as external troubles, and their precautions against them have never been reduced. Now our Tang Dynasty has become stable, which is the time to show its strength. Put yourself in the shoes of the people. If your Majesty, you are the Tubo Zanpu or the Turkic Khan, do you think the Tang Dynasty that has been shown is terrible or the Tang Dynasty that has been weak in military affairs now?"

Li Longji spoke up and said, "Do you mean that Tubo or Turks might be fighting with me, the Tang Dynasty?"

Pei Min smiled bitterly: "At least I analyze this, and it's not that I have no basis to prove my opinion." As he said that, he told Li Longji about Sun Zhou's report. Looking at Li Longji with a shocked face, he said: "It is precisely because of the activities behind Tubo that I feel that the purpose of Tubo's visit to the Tang Dynasty this time is not simple, but rather, taking advantage of the fact that the relationship between the two countries is still there, and planning to finally pull some hair from us when we are not tearing apart to make up for their shortcomings."

"The general really betrays the Tang Dynasty for gold, silver, money and goods?" Li Longji looked at Pei Min incredible. In his eyes, Yang Ju made contributions. Although he was a little uncomfortable when he gave the land of Jiuqu of Hexi to Tubo, he felt that it was because of Yang Ju's negotiations with Tubo on his mission to Tubo that the Tang Dynasty could be so peacefully coexist.

Pei Min said: "It is 80% possible! But this matter is of great importance. I dare not take Yang Ju rashly to avoid alarming the enemy. I plan to capture the stolen goods and capture them."

If Pei Min directly analyzed that Tubo would break up with the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji would be skeptical, but at this moment he cleverly began to talk about the two things. However, Li Longji would not believe it.

"Damn it!" Li Longji was so angry that he drew out his sword and cut down the bamboo in front of him, and said angrily: "Three years, as long as I give me three years, I can train the elite troops of hundreds of battles like Taizong, but now."

"Your Majesty!" Pei Min said without hesitation: "Don't expect the enemy to give you time kindly. Time is achieved by yourself. Why did Taizong have four years back then? That was because he personally visited the Wei River and used the momentum of Yuchi Jingde to defeat the Turkic in Jingyang to force Jie Li Khan to sign the Wei River Alliance for exchange. As long as His Majesty is ready to fight and show the power of our Tang Dynasty, there will naturally be time to re-plan. Passively placing hope on the enemy's gift is not very clever."

Li Longji looked at Pei Min's eyes deeply and smiled, "Loyal words are unpleasant. I keep these words in mind in mind in Jingyuan's heart. I will immediately write a letter to the governor of Longliang to make them cautiously guard against Tubo and Turkic. As for Yang Ju's affairs, my dear will investigate carefully. If Yang Ju really has the intention of colluding with Tubo, you are willing to do special things. Even if Tubo envoys are involved, they will be arrested."
