Chapter 2 Self-recommendation to guard the frontier

Pei Min's self-recommendation shocked Li Longji again for a while.

Even Gao Lishi, who had been lowering his head, couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly and glanced at Pei Min.

Pei Min is now in excellent momentum. He is the second in command of the Censorate and the second in command of the Ministry of War, and is highly favored by the emperor. He holds a powerful weapon like the recruitment system. Only Prime Minister Yao Chong, the prime minister, can compare his political contributions in the temple. As long as he survives for a few years, he will definitely go further. At that time, he was the Censor or the Minister of War, and these two official positions were only one step away from the court.

Li Longji sometimes wondered how many years would it take for Pei Min to become a stellar with his talent and achievements?

Faced with such an upward momentum, Pei Min actually wanted to give up such a political prospect and recommend herself to struggle in the quagmire of Taozhou. It would be really unwise. If Pei Min had not mentioned this to him a few years ago, he would have really doubted that Pei Min was politically threatened.

"Why did Jingyuan insist on accidentally adjusting? The prosperity of the capital can't hold your heart?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

Pei Min is determined to break free from the quagmire of the capital, and there is a reason for it.

Water flows to the lower part, and people walk to the higher part.

This is human nature.

The capital seems to be full of flowers, but undercurrents are surging and intrigues are too serious. Although Li Longji favors him very much at this moment, he does not hear that he is accompanied by the king as a tiger? He is as high as Yao Chong and as talented as Yao Chong. Didn’t he just become the prime minister for just four years and then remove Li Longji from his position?

The prime minister seems to be high, but in fact he has a lot of water. Especially the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, it is the most valuable. The well water is still deep, and if you are not careful and have a small matter, you may lose your prescription.

Yao Chong has been in politics forty years and has been unable to withstand three ups and downs, let alone him, a young man who has been in politics for a year and a half?

The biggest advantage of the emperor Li Longji is delegating power, and of course this is also his biggest shortcoming.

In history, he gave unlimited support to the Bian Zheng he trusted. Wang Zhongsi was paired with the four towns of the general seal, holding the 300,000 army of the Tang Dynasty, and was in charge of the territory of thousands of miles. You should know that at that time, the total number of soldiers and horses in various parts of the Tang Dynasty was only 640,000, and Wang Zhongsi was commanding the soldiers alone, which was almost half of the Tang Dynasty. It goes without saying that An Lushan, who subverted the Tang Dynasty, had it not been for Li Longji's trust and delegating power, why would An Lushan, a fat man in Hu, have caused the Anshi Rebellion?

As long as he can achieve success in the frontier, Pei Min is sure that he is much more comfortable and comfortable than the intrigue in Chang'an, and his achievements will be much greater.

The advantages and disadvantages of the two are completely incomparable, which is one of the reasons why Pei Min is determined to make external adjustments.

Of course, Pei Min cannot explain this deep concern, and said with a loyal and loyalty: "It is not my intention to make an unexpected adjustment. Your Majesty cares for me, how can I not know? It is because I have been deeply grateful to you that I want to make some contributions to the Tang Dynasty while I am young, so as to repay Your Majesty's kindness for you. In the crisis in Taozhou, I am troubled by Your Majesty for more than a year. I am willing to put aside everything, give up everything in the capital, and eliminate the troubles of your Majesty's armpits."

Li Longji looked at the radical Pei Min and remembered his poem "Repay the Lord's intention on the golden platform, and encourage the Jade Dragon to die for you!" His expression couldn't help but ease, and he said, "Jingyuan is loyal and loyal, and all the ancient sages are not as good as those of the ancients."

Pei Min said: "I dare not compete with my ancestors, but just adhere to my duties and share my worries with the king. There are so many famous ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and there are countless talents who are better than me. Those who can fill the position of ministers can be seen. However, due to the slaughter of meritorious officials in the martial arts empress, the military weak in our Tang Dynasty and the corruption of the military system of the government have made few new good generals under the combat power of the border soldiers. I dare not claim to be a good general, but I also learned military strategies from Taigong and were willing to take charge of Taozhou for Your Majesty and protect the peace of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Longji hesitated for a while and said, "I will think about this matter carefully. Jingyuan will step down first."

"Yes!" Pei Min was overjoyed. Li Longji did not refuse, which meant that there was a chance. As long as he left Chang'an and survived the extension, the sky would be high and the birds would fly, and the sea would be wide and the fish would be leaping.

Seeing Pei Min retreating, Li Longji looked at the situation in Taozhou in his hand and said, "Lishi, do you think Jingyuan has selfish intentions?"

Gao Lishi nodded: "The little slave can't see any profits in Taozhou."

"Yes!" Li Longji sighed: "A person with selfishness wants to go to a high place and seek benefits. Taozhou is a mess. If you do it well, it is a matter of internal affairs and you won't get much benefit. If you are not careful, your reputation may be ruined here. Only Jingyuan is willing to share my worries with me and give up a bright future. I intend to fulfill Jingyuan's loyalty, but I am very reluctant to leave it in my heart and can't hold it."

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "Longyou Taozhou is not far from Chang'an. During the holidays, it will take only a few days to invite the Chief of the Central Committee to the capital."

Li Longji nodded silently.

The court meeting the next day.

Li Longji once again proposed the situation in Taozhou in the court to seek a way to deal with it.

The court officials were silent.

A year ago, they thought of countless ways to deal with Taozhou. But there was a mud pit. There were only two ways to solve the mud pit. One was to regain the Jiuqu land of Hexi. As long as the Jiuqu land of Hexi was regained, Tubo would lose the invading pedal platform, and Taozhou would not fall into the passive today. But this is unrealistic. Now the Tang Dynasty is in a mess and needs a smooth development, rather than provoking a large-scale war.

The military system of the government has been declining for a long time, and the recruitment system has just emerged, which requires a certain period of adaptation. Small-scale wars do not matter. The large-scale battle of the Jiuqudi in Hexi will be harmful to the current Tang Dynasty but not beneficial.

Another way is to station heavy troops in Taozhou and transfer 70,000 to 80,000 troops to take charge, which can effectively prevent Tubo from invading. This is not in line with the actual situation. The key fortress in Longyou is Shanzhou and Guzhou, and Taozhou is a useless land. It is a pity to eat. Transferring Longyou's army to Taozhou will inevitably cause a crisis in Shanzhou and Guzhou, which is an unwise move to take sesame and abandon watermelon. In addition, dispatching large troops will also consume a lot of military supplies, which will increase the administrative burden on Longyou.

In addition to these two fundamental treatment methods, they have thought about and tried the other symptoms before. Some even proposed contacting Princess Jincheng who married into Tubo and talked to Tubo about this stupid idea. It can be seen that all the civil and military officials in the court have already lost their skills in Taozhou.

Pei Min himself has no good idea. If this military matter is not conducted on-site investigation, it is meaningless to just talk about it on paper.

Seeing that all the civil and military officials in the court were silent, Li Longji felt that only Pei Min was sincerely considering it. In order to relieve his worries, he did not hesitate to let go of his bright future. He then said: "Pei Zhongcheng recommended himself and asked to go to Taozhou to guard the border for my Tang Dynasty and resist Tubo. Do you have any opinions?"

As soon as Li Longji finished speaking, the court was in an uproar.

No one dared to make a loud noise at this cemetery, but many ministers whispered and gathered into a river, and the momentum was quite strong.

Both of them looked at Pei Min's eyes, full of disbelief and admiration.

Only time travelers can understand how correct Pei Min's behavior is, otherwise even people like Yao Chong and Zhang Jiuling will not see the pros and cons behind it. They only think that Pei Min is young, full of enthusiasm, and willing to give up the bright future for the sake of the country.

Even if Yao Chong didn't like Pei Min, he couldn't help but look at him more at this moment.

Even though he admired this, Yao Chong would not be vague when it was time to take action. He did not take action, but glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The Minister of Revenue said with cleverness: "Pei Zhongcheng is very noble and honest, but it is better to admire him. Zhongcheng is both wise and brave, with the courage of ordinary people, and also with the decisive plan. It is obvious that the battle of Jincheng can be seen. He will take charge of Taozhou and will definitely make Tubo come and go."

Li Longji snorted in his heart, and said, "I also think Pei Qing is loyal and reliable, wise and brave, and can take on this great task." As he said, he shouted loudly: "Duke Liang, the Censor General of the Censor and the Minister of War, and the General Zhongwu Pei Min received the order!"

"I received the order!" Thinking that the big thing was done, Pei Min felt a little excited.

"Duke of Liang, the Censor of the Censor, also serves as the Minister of War, General Pei Min, was a general of Zhongwu, and was a general of Shuxu, and was full of strategies, lived in the six wonders, and was brave and did not care about his own life. I thought of seeing the victory of Jincheng, and could serve as the governor of Taozhou and serve as the envoy of Shence Army. He was in charge of Taozhou and was in charge of the Tubo invasion."

"I received the order!" Pei Min happily bowed and accepted the order. Not only did he get the position of governor as he wished, he also served as the envoy of the Shence Army. Li Longji not only gave him local military and political power, but also allocated him an army to call. Sure enough, Li Longji would give them enough power to those who trust. But what is the "Shence Army"?

In his memory, the Shence Army should be a northwest border guard army set up by the famous general Geshuhan to resist Tubo decades later. Because of his strong combat effectiveness, Emperor Daizong of Tang organized the Shence Army into the ranks of imperial guards and became the imperial guards of the emperor. After the Jingzhu Incident, Emperor Dezong of Tang believed that civil and military officials were not trustworthy and handed over the power of the Shence Army to the eunuch. This was also the beginning. The eunuch controlled the military power of the Shence Army, used the Shence Army as a tool to control the imperial power, control the emperor's life and death, and abolished the great power.

To be honest, the Shence Army is notorious. In some later game TVs involving the Tang Dynasty, the Shence Army is all villain!

Now the Shen Ce Army has emerged inexplicably, and he has become the commander of the Shen Ce Army!

When Pei Min was stunned, Li Longji continued: "I have issued an order before: to transfer the Lintao Army to Shanzhou, and set up a new Shence Army in Taozhou, with 6,000 troops and 5,000 horses. The soldiers in the army were filled with the remaining Long March athletes."

Pei Min was overjoyed when he heard this, and he still cared about the "notorious reputation" of the Shence Army in history!

The 110,000 soldiers he recruited were all worthy of use, and they were much stronger than corrupt government soldiers.
