Chapter 39 The backhand is kind!

If you regard the elegant Li Jiancheng as a novice who is not engaged in military affairs, you would be a big mistake.

There is not a single brother and sister of the Li family who are good at it. Needless to mention the amazing talent in civil and military affairs, Princess Pingyang started with hundreds of people, and led a 70,000 army in Guanzhong to capture a base. Although Li Yuanji was not good at character and had poor ability to command troops, he was the best player in charge and even staged a scene of three heroes fighting Yuanji.

Li Jiancheng was also a general who not only made achievements in politics, but also achieved extremely high military achievements. He had the great achievements of attacking Xihe and breaking Daxing City first. He suppressed the rebellion, and he also handled the defense line against the Turks in the north. At any time, Li Jiancheng could be regarded as a famous general, but he was a little bit out of time, and the limelight was overwhelmed by Li Shimin, who was more capable of fighting.

Li Jiancheng saw the change of the Right Guard. Although there is not much time left and no results are seen, as long as he continues to follow this momentum, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers will be improved to a higher level. He is a brave veteran and his level will be an unignorable force, and it is the power he needs most at the moment.

Faced with Li Jiancheng's inquiry, Luo Shixin smiled calmly and said, "Of course not. As a general, he must train his subordinates stronger under his means. He will be good to them and himself when he goes to the battlefield in the future."

Li Jiancheng nodded deeply and said, "What the general said is deeply awake. It is a blessing that I have talents like generals in the Tang Dynasty. If you have any needs, you can talk to me, and within your ability, you will never be able to do anything."

Luo Shixin's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "There are few horses in the right guard. I have applied for two hundred military horses, but I have not approved it. There are still a thousand swords. The above said it is not practical and casting is expensive. I ignore it and it is so angry that I am so angry."

Li Jiancheng smiled knowingly and said, "It is understandable that military horses are powerful tools for charging, but the modao is of limited practicality!"

Luo Shixin shook his head and said, "Wrong, wrong, very wrong! Your Highness depends on who the opponent is, not simply comparing practicality and cost-effectiveness. In the Central Plains melee, Modao is indeed not worthy of promotion. A Modao can create ten machetes, which is also a killing enemy. A Modao is naturally not as good as a ten swordsman. But today, the real enemy of the Tang Dynasty is the Turks, no longer the princes. The troops are no longer dominated by infantry, but Turkic cavalry with strong combat power. Ten battle knives are far less practical than a Modao. Of course, the best way to deal with cavalry is to use cavalry to control cavalry. The problem is that the number of cavalry in our Tang Dynasty cannot catch up with the Turks, and it is impossible to tame war horses without limits like the Turks. Compared with the consumption of cavalry, the value of Modao is more reflected. The cost-effectiveness must be above cavalry and sword shield soldiers."

Luo Shixin said it was particularly cautious. People have not yet discovered the effect of Modao, but as a later generation, he knew that Modao was a weapon that reached its peak with the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. Especially in dealing with Turkic light cavalry, Modao had a decisive advantage.

Disaster, differentiate, and win over the three strategies are indeed the three decisive strategies to deal with the Turks. However, even if you have a clever plan, it is useless to be not strong.

Therefore, Luo Shixin was determined to be one step ahead of Li Jing and promote Modao, so that the Tang Dynasty would have such a powerful weapon one day and enhance the Tang Dynasty's combat power against the Turks.

But things went against my wishes. Luo Shixin's words were slight and did not receive attention. Even if he wanted to form a Modao team of thousands of people, he was boycotted by the Ministry of War.

If an extraordinary person cannot see through this kind of extraordinary and foresighted knowledge, it is impossible for an extraordinary person to understand the truth.

Li Jiancheng is not an extraordinary person, but there is still a huge gap between military theory and Li Jing. Although he felt that what Luo Shixin said was reasonable, he could not analyze whether Luo Shixin was talking about war on paper. He pondered for a moment: "The general has such an idea, how can I not support it? He turned around and asked the Ministry of War to allocate two hundred military horses to the general. As for a thousand swords, Gu also responded to the general and first observed the effectiveness."

Luo Shixin sighed inwardly that Li Jiancheng still lacked the courage to promote Modao, but it was better than nothing. The prince was the prince, and he was very confident in speaking. Unlike him, he wanted a few horses and a few Modao, and he thought that the Ministry of War would ignore it and then go to Li Shimin to ask him for it, but Li Jiancheng came here to save him unnecessary trouble.

Li Jiancheng walked around the right guard and left with satisfaction.

Luo Shixin also got what he wanted and gave Li Jiancheng his first love to send him out of the official residence of the Right Guard.

On the way back to the prince's mansion, Li Jiancheng sighed: "What a pity!"

Chen Ziliang took two steps forward. He was the record room of Yang Su, the military commander of the Sui Dynasty in his early years. His talents and strategies were all for a while. Li Jiancheng valued it. He thought that his arms were hard to see through Li Jiancheng's intentions at this time, but he couldn't help but say: "This Luo Shixin is definitely not the rumored reckless man. It is definitely his luck to capture Liu Heita alive in the Mingshui victory. Why didn't Your Highness invite him to the banquet together? If you can win over Luo Shixin, it will be your highness's help."

Li Jiancheng glanced at Chen Ziliang and sighed again: "Ziliang no longer has any knowledge about Chang'an these days. Why don't Gu want to invite General Luo to the banquet? He just invited him. The banquet might turn out like something."

"Is it General Li Yi?" Chen Ziliang was quick-witted and told the key point in one sentence.

Li Jiancheng nodded silently. Li Yi was Luo Yi. When Luo Yi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he brought most of Youzhou and tens of thousands of elite soldiers to surrender, which was equivalent to helping Li Tang take down Youzhou and add tens of thousands of troops, and made outstanding contributions. Li Yuan appointed Luo Yi as the King of Yan and gave the surname Li, also known as Li Yi.

After Li Yi helped Li Shimin defeat Liu Heita, he asked to enter the court. Li Yuan warmly treated Li Yi, the hero, and appointed him as the General of the Zuo Yi Guard. Li Jiancheng was fully responsible for entertaining Li Yi's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Li Jiancheng needs to improve his military strength and should not miss this opportunity. Li Yi is also a cunning person who has climbed up to Li Jiancheng's high branch. The two hit it off and met each other.

After contact, Li Jiancheng found that Li Yi was extremely dissatisfied with Luo Shixin's contribution to him in the battle against Liu Heita. He not only once said that Luo Shixin was just a lucky guy, and his contribution was not worthy of him.

Li Jiancheng weighed the pros and cons of the relationship and undoubtedly chose to win over Li Yi as the best. After all, Li Yi is the boss of Youzhou and has countless elite soldiers and generals. Luo Shixin is just a new general. How can he compare with Li Yi?

After entertaining Li Yi, Li Jiancheng turned around and showed kindness to Luo Shixin.
