The country's conquest is a top priority!

The preparations before the war took some time. Luo Shixin, who was originally the imperial examination examiner, was handed over to others because of the war. Now the Ministry of Justice is very leisurely and has nothing to do. Luo Shixin took a break from his busy schedule and took advantage of this empty vacuum to accompany his family, wife and children.

As one of the most famous generals of Li Tang, he was inevitable to lead troops to fight. Pingyang and Zheng Liwan had long been mentally prepared, and except for a little sadness, there was not much resistance.

As for Xiaohuzha, he is even more so. He is only one year old and can only say a few simple words. He does not understand the various ups and downs of the world. He is sad about parting, and even the concept of parents should not be. He just feels the care of the man with a beard in front of him with a thorny face. He smiles constantly and is not affected by the sorrow of parting.

Luo Shixin smiled at Pingyang and Zheng Liwan, "Sometimes I really envy this little guy. I don't have to think about anything. I laugh when I am happy, and I cry when I am unhappy. When he smiles, we all laugh. When he cries, we are all anxious."

Ping Yang looked at the little guy lovingly and said, "You, you keep saying that you can't relax your discipline on your children, you must be strict. If you say that a filial son comes from a stick, I think you are the one who is the most popular in your life. You want to hold him in your mouth."

Luo Shixin smiled awkwardly and said, "Now that the child is young, of course he must be pampered. When he gets older and becomes sensible, it will be different." As he said that, he raised his sturdy baby son high and made various grimaces.

The little guy looked at him blankly and laughed constantly.

Zheng Liwan glanced at Xiaohuzha with envy and said, "By the way, how long will it take for you to go to this expedition?"

Luo Shixin paused and said, "I don't know either. I have been to Goguryeo. They are not like the enemies I have encountered in the past. Most of the enemies I have encountered in the past are mainly field battles. I am not afraid of fighting in the field battle. Even if the opponent's troops are multiple times more powerful, I can fight and dare to fight. But this time the enemy is very good at defending. They won Yang Jian's 300,000 army by defending that year and dragged down Yang Guang's millions of troops. This battle is inevitable. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is really hard to say how much time is. Even if it is fast, it will take more than half a year, and maybe two or three years."

Zheng Liwan said in surprise: "It will take so long, it will be a fight for two or three years. When the husband came back, I wonder if Xiaohuzha would recognize you as his father..."

Luo Shixin's face froze, and his raised hands stopped shaking.

The little guy was like his clothes and hung high.

Children's mood changes faster than spring's temper. Anyone who turns against each other will turn against each other, and burst into tears with a loud voice, giving a deafening feeling.

Luo Shixin hurriedly handed him to Pingyang for comfort.

Seeing that Luo Shixin had lost his composure, Zheng Liwan hurriedly said, "I'm just talking casually. How could the child forget his father?"

Luo Shixin said cautiously, "No, what you said makes sense. No. I don't want to go back to Chang'an the next day, the little guy held Pingyang's hand and pointed at my face and asked who I am? Then I don't have the face to be stubborn, and I'm sorry that the little guy called him the first word. Half a year, it's just a Goguryeo. I killed him for half a year, and then came back to see my baby son."

Looking at Luo Shixin's inexplicable high fighting spirit, Pingyang and Zheng Liwan smiled bitterly.

This attack on Goguryeo is no better than attacking Tuyuhun.

Tuyuhun is located at the gate of the Western Regions. His living habits combine the advantages of nomadic and farming. The territory occupied by them is very suitable for the rushing and rushing of cavalry. Attacking Tuyuhun, naturally it is mainly cavalry. The Tang Dynasty currently has no shortage of war horses, and it dispatched troops and raised food and grass. It was only half a month before setting off.

Li Jing personally led the army to Tuyuhun.

On the day of sending troops, Luo Shixin saw him off in person and chatted with Li Jing a few words before the trip. Li Jing did not mention anything about Goguryeo, obviously he had full confidence in his apprentice.

One and a half months after Li Jing led his troops to leave Chang'an, Luo Shixin set out: This conquest of Goguryeo is different from attacking Tuyuhun.

The battle of Tuyuhun relies on cavalry. There are countless cavalry generals in the Tang Dynasty. The quality and combat effectiveness of cavalry is no less than that of grassland cavalry. This is naturally much faster to be conscripted. The three countries of Haidong, whether in Goguryeo or Silla, Baekje rely on the sea. It is necessary to attack coastal countries. The navy is a must for naval army. The weakness of the Tang Dynasty, which has always been there, is no doubt.

Li Tang relied on cavalry and infantry to establish the country. When Li Shimin captured the two kings and brought most of the world into his arms, the Tang Dynasty did not have a decent naval army. It was not until Li Jing helped Li Xiaogong stabilize the situation in Bashu, given the situation between the enemy and us, he took the ten strategies to attack and destroy Xiao Xian. Li Yuan let Li Jing manage the army. Only then did Li Jing organize manpower and material resources to build boats and train soldiers to practice water war.

The naval army of the Tang Dynasty was formed, but after pacifying Xiao Xian and capturing the Fu Gongyan, the naval army had no practical use and gradually became vacant. It has been six years since then.

This has drawn the Jianghuai Army and reorganized the navy. In Hongzhou, Raozhou and Jiangzhou, nearly 400 ships were repaired and ships supervised the construction and transportation of military rations. This is a time-consuming work.

Therefore, Luo Shixin was one and a half months later than Li Jing before leaving.

Luo Shixin led the 30,000 troops recruited by Chang'an and marched day and night to Youzhou, the base camp that attacked Goguryeo.

The Youzhou military camp is built beside the Bohai Sea, with a total of 100,000 troops on land and water, stretching for more than ten miles, with a large camp and a large warship, which is particularly magnificent.

Luo Shixin looked into the distance from a distance and saw that the barracks were like a castle.

Thinking that all the elite soldiers and generals in the castle were under his command, he felt an inexplicable sense of heroism in his heart: this time he was the real commander of the three armies, holding a military commander of a hundred thousand troops in his hand, and just thinking about it made him feel proud.

"Master General, Rencheng King comes to greet him!"

Beside Luo Shixin was Taichang Qing Wei Ting, and this time Ma Zhou did not come to Luo Shixin.

Ma Zhou, who is a prime minister, has been following Luo Shixin for several years. If he keeps following him, he will be really wronged. This time, Luo Shixin conquered Goguryeo. Ma Zhou is longing for politics and military is his weakness. He did not bring him with him, but instead recommended him as the censor and asked him to leave the Ministry of Justice and enter the Censorate.

Li Shimin also hoped that Ma Zhou would be long and agreed without any hesitation.

Ma Zhou himself recognized Li Shimin, the hero of the British over the years, and did not refuse Luo Shixin's kindness and officially stepped onto the stage of history.

Taichangqing Wei Ting was the commissar specially assigned by Li Shimin to Luo Shixin, who was specifically responsible for the transportation of grain and grass in Hebei provinces.

Luo Shixin stopped at the horse and looked at it. Sure enough, Li Daozong, who had set out first, led dozens of generals to walk towards them quickly.

Many of the dozens of generals had familiar faces. There were Su Dingfang who came out of his command, Liu Rengui, and Zhang Shigui and Cheng Mingzhen, who had been known for a long time but had few contacts.

"I've met the chief executive!" Although Li Daozong was a king's title and a relative of the Li clan, there was only one commander in the army. Even if his title was higher than Luo Shixin, he would still be treated as a tribute to him at this moment.

"No need for too much politeness, no need for too much politeness!" Luo Shixin smiled and stepped forward. Now he was used to the title similar to the general manager of the Great Inner, and helped Li Daozong up with one hand. "In the distance, I looked at the camp. The water and land were connected, and the formations were in order, and they could attack or defend. Just look at this camp like a castle. You will know that the prince's strategy is really extraordinary!"

Li Daozong bowed happily and said, "The chief executive has been too rewarded!"

Li Daozong was useless in the novel, and was jealous of the virtuous and capable. He framed Xue Rengui with various means, thus bringing many infamous reputations. However, the real Li Daozong was a famous general with both wisdom and courage, a person who could be compared with Li Shiji. The entire Li Tang clan relatives. In addition to Li Shimin, the one who could really fight was Li Daozong.

As he said that, he walked to Li Daozong and looked at the dark and sturdy man in front of him, another character who was smeared by the novel, Zhang Shigui.

Like Li Daozong, in the novel about Xue Rengui, Zhang Shigui was the first villain Xue Rengui encountered, persecuting loyal and even treacherously rebelling against the court. The real Zhang Shigui is a well-known and loyal man, a powerful general.

Zhang Shigui was born in a family of generals, able to bend a bow of 150 kilograms, and was also good at cavalry and shooting. In the late years of Daye of the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Shigui gathered people in Guozhou to fight against Sui because of his bravery in fighting. He called it the "Huroth thief" in the Sui Dynasty. After surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Shigui fought south and north for the Tang Dynasty, stabilized Henan, followed Li Shimin to defeat Xue Ju and Xue Rengao, defeated Wang Shichong with his inferior troops, defeated Wang Shichong with 50,000 cavalry, and conquered Liu Wuzhou, and was also destroying Wang Shichong. Dou Jiande achieved important achievements and made great achievements in the battle of Dou Jiande.

Luo Shixin said: "Mr. Zhang, it's been a long time since I saw you. I admire you so much that you lost 50,000 to Wang Shichong's heroic posture. I really admire you!"

Zhang Shigui hurriedly said he didn't dare, but his expression was filled with joy and a little excited: he was appointed as the general manager of the Ma Army back then. At that time, many people were thinking about this position, and many people were not convinced by him. Even the battle to defeat Wang Shichong made him proud and famous. It was also the most beautiful and proudest battle in his life, which made Luo Shixin remember and was very happy.

As he said that, he came to a white general next to Zhang Shigui, who was as pure as a white scholar and said, "Governor Zhang, after we parted in Jiangnan, we will meet again today as before. The demeanor is still so elegant. When I saw the Governor commanding the boats with his own eyes, he defeated Zhang Shan'an and Chen Dangshi, who had the style of Zhou Lang in the past. I felt itchy. However, I have never been involved in water wars. If I don't understand this, you will be responsible for the navy..."

The one who made Luo Shixin called the governor of Zhang was the navy commander Zhang Zhenzhou. He was the navy general promoted by Li Jing. He played an important position in the battle to pacify Xiao Xian and attack Fu Gongyuan. Not only that, Zhang Zhenzhou is also worthy of praise in his behavior. Because of his great contributions, Zhang Zhenzhou was appointed as the governor of Shuzhou. Shuzhou was the hometown of Zhang Zhenzhou, and his relatives and friends were spread all over the city and countryside. On the day Zhang Zhenzhou returned to the state, he did not go to the office and ordered people to buy a lot of wine and food, take off their official uniforms, and recruit old relatives and friends in his former residence, reminiscing about the past for ten days, and then

He said that all the gold and silver obtained from his military achievements were distributed to relatives and friends, and said, "Today we are friends. I, Zhang Zhenzhou, are very happy to drink with you and talk to you all over the world. Tomorrow I will be the governor of Shuzhou. If relatives and friends break the law, I will never be favored." Just like his resounding words, after he took office, he strictly abides by the laws and regulations to govern Shuzhou. He cared about the sufferings of the people without favoring relatives, not being private, and not following the feelings. Under his governance, the social order in Shuzhou after the war quickly settled down. Agricultural production also developed quickly, and the people were able to live and work in peace.

This incident is also recorded in the children's enlightenment book "Dragon Whip Shadow", which has become a role model for educating future generations.

Zhang Zhenzhou Zhou Deluo Shixin was so excited and hurriedly bowed back.

"General Cheng, Mingshui is fighting beautifully, but your battle will make me suffer." Luo Shixin smiled and came to Zhang Zhenzhou's side.

The general beside Zhang Zhenzhou was named Cheng Mingzhen, who was also a general who was good at fighting. In his early years, under Dou Jiande's command, he later surrendered to Li Yuan and conquered Hebei. Liu Heita's uprising and captured Mingzhou. Cheng Mingzhen rationally withdrew his troops, avoiding Liu Heita's edge, and avoiding unnecessary casualties. Then Cheng Mingzhen made plans to lure some of Liu Heita's army and horses out of the city and concealed them. Then he attacked Liu Heita's water and land food routes in Ji, Bei, Cang, Ying and other states. He achieved great success, which shocked Liu Heita's army and cut off food in Mingshui.

It was also at this time that Mingshui City was forced to surrender to the Tang army. Later, Luo Shixin fought in Mingshui City for eight days.

Cheng Mingzhen said cautiously: "The chief executive has been too rewarded. Before he could have time to capture Liu Heita and help me avenge my revenge."

It turned out that Liu Heita's uprising was so powerful that Cheng Mingzhen saved the people, but he did not save his mother and wife. He allowed Liu Heita to capture him alive.

Cheng Mingzhen cut off the food and grass of the Han East Army, which was equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the Han East Army.

Liu Heita was furious and killed Cheng Mingzhen's mother and wife. Liu Heita captured Luo Shixin alive, while Cheng Mingzhen expressed his support to Li Yuan, hoping to hand over Liu Heita to deal with him to avenge his revenge. In the end, Li Yuan agreed to Cheng Mingzhen's request, and Cheng Mingzhen also cut off Liu Heita's head with his own hands to pay tribute to his mother and wife.

In Cheng Mingzhen's view, if Luo Shixin had not captured Liu Heita, he might not have been able to kill his enemies.

Luo Shixin patted Cheng Mingzhen on the shoulder and was very optimistic about him. He really didn't know that Cheng Mingzhen was very amazing and capable of fighting. His son Cheng Wu was even more amazing. He guarded the border, and the Turks did not dare to offend any abnormal movements, but it was a pity that Wu Zetian was killed unjustly.

In order to stabilize the imperial power, Wu Zetian persecuted 80% of the Tang Dynasty's generals who were good at fighting, and Cheng Wuting, who made the Turks frightened, was one of them.

Luo Shixin next came to his old acquaintance Su Dingfang, "Dingfang, congratulations!"

He enthusiastically gave Su Dingfang a bear: this famous general who had only made his fortune decades later had successfully entered Li Shimin's sight because of his relationship: With the achievements he made in the attack on the Turks and the achievements he had in defending the Shuofang of Xiazhou. Su Dingfang this time became one of the six generals under Luo Shixin's command, Li Shimin's deputy general.

Su Dingfang sighed: "If there were no generals, there would be no last general today."

After seeing Liu Rengui behind Su Dingfang, he nodded at him, and the latter nodded in response.

"Huzi, I heard you are doing well! You are a master, Huzi, there is something interesting!" Luo Shixin looked at Mo Hu'er who was excited for many years.

Mo Hu'er received such praise from Luo Shixin, who was most respected in his heart, and was very proud of her face. Her face turned red with excitement and quickly said loudly: "Sir, I'm too much, the youngest is just calling her big in front of the group of horse bandits. How dare I..."

In the past, Li Jing, Luo Shixin and Li Shiji defeated the Turks and decided to fight the northern overlords of the Turks. The key is that they fought fiercely and fiercely and captured the thief and captured the king.

They only stared at Jie Li Khan's attack and defeated the Turkic soldiers. During the pursuit battle, many remaining troops inevitably escaped. Part of them surrendered to the surrounding tribes, while the other part was robbed on the grassland and robbed and rebelled everywhere.

The Tang Dynasty conquered the Turks and classified most of the grasslands as its own. He would not allow the horse, thieves, horse bandits, and several generals around the grassland were ordered to encircle and suppress these horse, thieves, horse bandits. Mo Hu'er was the best performer among the generals. With the military knowledge he learned from Luo Shixin for many years, he flexibly used it and fought many beautiful battles, which scared the horse, thieves, horse bandits on the grassland to call Mo Hu'er the Tiger Master.

Every time I see this close friend who was the first to follow him, Luo Shixin felt very kind. He smiled and said, "I want to open my eyes wide and see, you are the master of the thieves. If you fight the regular army of Goguryeo, will you become a grandson?"

Mo Hu'er raised her eyes and blushed and shouted, "Who is Hu Zi? You don't know yet? What's wrong with Goguryeo? If my hands shake, you will take my head off."

Luo Shixin laughed and walked towards another person.

Twenty-one generals of all sizes, Luo Shixin called out their names one by one, knowing their achievements and deeds one by one. None of them appeared among these twenty-one generals without real results...

They all made great achievements in the battle of the Tang Dynasty to unify the world, and they were all warriors who had experienced the training on the battlefield.

After each of these people walked aside, Luo Shixin came to everyone and said aloud: "Our enemies are indeed not weak, but we are definitely better than them! Each of you has excellent resumes, a record of being passed down from generation to generation and leaving a name in history. This is the glory you exchanged for with your own blood... Whether the next battle will be written or the mark of shame is engraved. It depends on you, all on me, and all on our performance. I, Luo Shixin, have the confidence to destroy the thieves who dare to be enemies with my Tang Dynasty, and write their shame on each of us on the resumes, as long as we work together to fight the enemy together."

The twenty-one generals felt this heroic spirit and knelt on one knee to salute and said, "I wish to listen to the orders of the general manager!"
