Chapter 135: Pingyang Enters Official
After refusing to marry, Luo Shixin initially felt that with Li Yuan's protective character, he was forced to wear small shoes and wait for an attack. But for a long time, there was no news. Every time he had to go to court to meet Li Yuan, Li Yuan ignored him, as if he had not seen him.
Luo Shixin gradually realized that it must be Princess Pingyang, she protected herself, if she had not taken care of her, with Li Yuan's care of protecting her, she would never have thought that this had never happened.
Thinking of this, Luo Shi's confidence was a little confused. He owed Pingyang too much, and she couldn't give her what she wanted. I was really sorry for her. After seeing the back of the generals in the court, second only to Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, I remembered the dream she had last night. If that was true, how good would it be... It's a pity that Pingyang is the eldest princess and the highest-ranking princess, so how could it be...
Not to mention that Pingyang has entered the officialdom now.
After the New Year, Princess Pingyang once again entered the political arena and was named Sikong, the governor of Youzhou, the general of the Right Guard, and the country of Shangzhu, becoming one of the three Dukes. The third leader of Li Tang's military affairs and the only woman among the civil and military officials in the court.
The official rank system in the early Tang Dynasty was very chaotic, which was related to Li Yuan's mentality of protecting his calf. He seemed to want to give all the powerful positions to his sons, such as Li Shimin's General Tiance, Taiwei, General of the twelve left and right guards, Shangshu Ling, Minister of Yongzhou, Minister of Shaanxi East Road, Minister of Shangshu Ling, Minister of Daxingtai of Yizhou, General of Liangzhou, King of Qin. Another example is Li Yuanji's Situ, Shizhong, General of Bingzhou, General of the Left Guard, General of Shangzhu Kingdom, and now the Sikong of Pingyang, General of Youzhou, General of Right Guard, General of Shangzhu Kingdom.
No one except his son and daughter can have such an honor.
But to be fair, Pingyang is more than enough to grant this position with the military achievements made by the Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for her daughter and having a congenital disadvantage, Li Yuanji would not be qualified to stand on her.
How did Li Yuanji's contributions come from most? He followed Li Shimin to become a deputy commander with the emperor's son, and then played soybean. Li Shimin, who showed his bravery, tactical military strategy, and won the battle with great success. Li Shimin ranked first in the first place, and Li Yuanji, the deputy commander, was beautifully accomplice. But when he was asked to lead the troops alone, he would be hilarious, staying in Taiyuan, and Liu Wu came on Monday. He was so scared that he gave up Li Tang's Long Xingzhi.
He fled back to Chang'an and asked Li Shimin to wipe his butt. Liu Heita rose, and Li Yuanji was so scared that he dared not send troops. Such a person would not be qualified to reach such a high position if he had not had a father who protected his calf. Being a general who charges the battle would have reached the top. On the other hand, Pingyang established himself in Guanzhong with his own strength and made the first contribution to establishing the Tang Dynasty for Li Tang. This alone would be enough to surpass Li Yuanji. Not to mention that he was leading Li Yi and Luo Shixin to wipe out the outstanding achievements of the Turkic army.
Li Tang did not prohibit women from becoming officials, and Pingyang had outstanding achievements. No one in the court had any questions about her entry into the officialdom.
Because of this, Luo Shixin can meet Pingyang almost every day. He either goes to the official residence together on his way to the Damao, or when he goes home at night, or at the tea room where the morning and night are in the morning and night.
Whenever the two of them meet, they seem to have something to say, but they also feel like they don’t know how to speak.
There are a little bit of unspeakable problems between each other.
As the New Year passed, all envoys from other countries left, leaving behind their optimism and praise for the prospects of the Tang Dynasty, and Chang'an also returned to stability.
Luo Shixin was finally able to use all his mind to the reform of the Right Guard. After a period of habit, the new operation method has been achieved. The main purpose has been achieved, and only some minor problems need to be eliminated. As for Mo Daojun, the effect was beyond his expectations.
After two months of training, the Modao Army was completely familiar with the Modao Formation created by Li Jing. During the day, the flag was waved and the sound of golden gongs at night, five thousand soldiers and horses crossed like a group of geese migrating south. In the shortest time, the formation was transformed, and the steps and formations were not at all chaotic.
With five thousand Mo Dao soldiers in hand, Luo Shixin was confident that he could not weaken his power and not show his defeat against Turkic cavalry within four times.
About Kratos Rossin was initially worried that he would not be able to integrate into the collective, but later found that the concern was purely redundant.
In terms of infantry battles, Kratos was second only to him in the entire Right Guard, but because of his original identity as a slave, he had never been as a master and strong man as a polite person. He was very polite when dealing with others, and was meticulous and conscientious in his work. As long as someone asked him for advice, he would never postpone it and do his best. His serious attitude quickly won the unanimous love of the dancers.
Luo Shixin naturally promoted him to serve as the captain of the jumping soldiers. Because he was worried that Kratos would not be suitable for the battle formation of the Modao formation and was not suitable for the tactical strategies of the Han people, he specially safely gave him two veterans to be the deputy captains to teach him his experiences and key points.
As a result, Kratos once again unexpectedly.
He is a genius.
Just like the incompetent Forrest Gump in "The Legend of Forrest Gump", a person who can be called a genius by the instructor.
Kratos is also a genius of type. His IQ is negative and his brain is not easy to use, but he can memorize and teach him how to do it. Let him walk three steps forward. Even if there is a big pit ahead, he will not be able to adapt. He walks into the pit without saying a word and lets him retreat. Even if you use a cow to pull the donkey, he will not change his direction.
Whenever he saw Kratos executing every simple order like an imperial edict, Luo Shixin couldn't help but think that if he gave me five thousand such geniuses, he would not be afraid even if he faced Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army.

Yuyang Royal Palace.
King Gao Kaidao, who had always been reluctant to attend court, frowned at the civil and military officials in the court, and roared dissatisfiedly: "I raise you all for eating. I don't even have the ability to get the seedlings together. If I don't solve this problem, what will we eat in autumn?"
Gao Kaidao was upset, and the current year was unfavorable. The Tang Dynasty became more and more powerful, and they were most moved by the Turks who guarded the border. The Tang Dynasty adopted the 12 military system of Guanzhong. To put it bluntly, it was divided into Guanzhong into twelve areas, established military prefectures and trained soldiers.
The main combat power of the Tang Dynasty to unify the world came from the 12th Army of Guanzhong, which was known as the 12th Army to defend the world, so at that time the Li Tang army had two extremes. Guanzhong was originally a strong civilian style, and the 12th Army had a hundred battles, and was led by Li Shimin himself, and its combat power was extremely strong. However, because the main combat troops of the Tang Dynasty were mainly the 12th Army, the combat power of the border troops was relatively poor.
In the past, once Gao Kaidao had an economic crisis, he would say hello to the Turkic father and then return with a full load after entering the country and robbing. However, as the world returned to unite, the center of gravity of the Tang Dynasty began to shift towards the surrounding areas, and the combat effectiveness of the border troops also became stronger.
Gao Kaidao found that with his military strength, he could no longer defeat the Tang border army. During the Chinese New Year, he intended to take advantage of the festive attack on Youzhou and plunder it for a good New Year. When the Youzhou Chief Wang Shi heard the news, he led a scholar and scholar directly to block the army along the way, and drove him back to Yuyang.
Because last year, the Turkic army mobilized many people, not only did the Turkic Laozi, who was welcomed by Gao Kaidao, did not obtain any supplies, but also ate and drank in Yuyang, making Yuyang poor and poor.
In the winter of that year, because I was really unsustainable, everyone in the city started eating the rice seeds of the following year and barely survived the cold winter.
But in spring, this season when everything is revived, there is no spring seedlings to plant around Yuyang. Without seedlings means no hope, no food, and nothing.
Faced with this situation, more and more fleeing people have been increasing.
So far, I can still control myself. Once the rice transplanting envoy has passed, the farmers still cannot get spring seedlings. As long as they are not fools, they can analyze it. Famine is coming. By then, the large-scale escape in groups will not be controlled by him.
Although Gao Kaidao was brave but unscheming, he could see this key. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and could only take his subordinates to vent his anger.
What kind of boss, what kind of younger brother?
Gao Kaidao looked like a savage bear. What good subordinates could he have? A group of people robbed the house and went to fight to kill the enemy. He was talking about managing the territory.
There were some scholars who helped him, but Gao Kaidao disdained to humiliate scholars at their own expense, and they all ran away in anger. The remaining group of warriors who only knew how to fight and kill were like taking mute pills at this moment, and they couldn't say anything.
It was said that it was a meeting in the court, and more than a dozen confidants were like competing to see who could hold on and not speak.
Gao Kaidao was really impatient to wait and shouted, "Xie Leng, Zhang Junli, Zhang Jinshu, tell me, see what's the solution."
Xie Leng, Zhang Junli and Zhang Jinshu are the highest-ranking generals under Gao Kaidao, and they are all in charge of all the troops in Yuyang.
When Gao Kaidao saw that no one was talking, he directly asked them to express their opinions.
The three of them stood up with a tough bullet.
Zhang Junli said first: "The only thing we are to plunder Youzhou Yizhou and obtain resources from Li Tang to enrich our Yuyang, which can solve the difficulties we face in Yuyang."
Gao Kaidao opened his mouth and cursed: "Barring, I can't imagine that... I'll kill this industry and start a business. If I rob it too early, I'll rob it and wait until you say it."
Zhang Junli was blushing and could not say a word.
Xie Leng said at this time: "We have some strength and can use the power on the grassland." Seeing that Gao Kaidao was tempted to curse again, he hurriedly said: "It's not the Turks, the Turks are no longer reliable. Before autumn comes, we will not be able to give us any support. The last general is talking about the Xi tribe. As far as I know, the Xi tribe has more than 50,000 troops, and they are brave and good at fighting, and they are not inferior to the Turkic cavalry. They have long been jealous of the wealth of Li Tang, but they can't punish the Turkic, and they are not adjacent to Li Tang, so they can only be anxious. As long as the lord can open a convenient door, discuss and form an alliance with the leader of the Xi tribe, and lead the Xi tribe into Youzhou, how can the Youzhou border army resist? At that time, he will rob their treasure women, and we will rob our seedlings, and after withdrawing the troops, we can still get a piece of the pie from the Xi tribe. My Dayan crisis can be solved."
