Chapter 899: I met the eldest grandson Wuji
Chapter 899 Meeting Changsun Wuji
Asan Qiboer already knew that Wang Ping'an was named Prince Liao. He was Wang Ping'an's adopted son. He had always called Wang Ping'an an adopted father. Now, as soon as Wang Ping'an became the prince, he changed his words and called Wang Ping'an a father.
Wang Ping'an enjoyed the word "Father" quite well. In fact, he did not really think of Asunaqi Boer as his adopted son. After all, he was no longer a few years older than Asunaqi Boer. He was a little embarrassed to ask everyone to call him father. But it doesn't matter if he calls him a father. It sounds nice and majestic, and can satisfy his vanity. If he is an individual, he has vanity, and Wang Ping'an is no exception.
Of course Wang Ping'an understood what Ashina Qiboer said. He glanced at the Turkic general in the hall. The 100,000 troops, and just the Turkic general who came to visit him, there were nearly a hundred people, which filled the lobby of the governor's mansion.
The Turkic generals looked at Wang Ping'an with longing eyes. They knew that Wang Ping'an had always been generous and did not take his property or land seriously, let alone other people's. What is Goguryeo? If you don't listen to the orders of the Celestial Empire, then you should destroy them. After destroying the country, shouldn't the people of Goguryeo let them enjoy it? Even if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was stingy, Wang Ping'an would not be stingy.
Wang Ping'an smiled and looked at the Yunzhou Governor who was with him. He smiled and said, "Mr. Governor, it is okay to follow the rules of the court to allow the soldiers and generals who are victorious to maintain public order on the enemy's land, right? Is it considered breaking the rules of the court?"
The governor of Yunzhou also smiled. Of course he could understand what Wang Ping'an meant. He said, "Prince Wang, there is no rule in the court that the generals of the imperial court are not allowed to be victorious in the new expansion territory. Whoever conquers them will be the one who will be. Well, this is not right. No matter who conquers them, they are all the territory of my Tang Dynasty. However, it is still OK to let the soldiers and generals maintain public order on Xinjiang territory, and it does not violate that rule!"
Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then there's no problem. Dear generals, as long as you can conquer Goguryeo, then stay there for a year and a half to quell the rebellious forces of the people. If you can destroy Baekje, that would be even better. I heard that there are rich products and the people are rich. If you can rest there for a while, that would be the best!"
When the Turkic generals heard this, they were all happy and talked loudly. For them, so many troops attacked Goguryeo together, and they were commanding in a unified manner. Instead of fighting each other as before, it would be easy to destroy Goguryeo, without any difficulty!
They started to talk loudly and began to fantasize about the wonderful days after the destruction of Goguryeo. After a while, they began to fantasize about the wonderful days when the destruction of Baekje.
Asanaki Boer asked, "Father, I heard that there is a country called Silla, which is called Silla, so should we destroy it? Isn't it a bigger place to rest the army like that?"
Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "Silla is a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty. He has always been very respectful. If he destroys it rashly, it is probably inappropriate."
Asanaki Boer showed a disappointed expression and said, "When the child was breaking willows, he heard that Silla is very rich, and the women are beautiful. Our soldiers have longed for it. If they can't go there to play, it's a bit regretful."
Wang Ping'an did not answer immediately. He was thinking that if the war went smoothly, he might as well write a letter to Chang'an and ask Emperor Li Zhi whether to destroy Silla together? As for the reason, it is easy to find. Just say that Silla will accommodate defeated soldiers from Goguryeo and Baekje. Anyway, after the defeat of Goguryeo and Baekje, the army of Goguryeo and Baekje will definitely escape into Silla, and this reason will definitely be found.
Wang Ping'an was thinking about something, but the governor of Yunzhou on the other side spoke. In the past, he had never had a good impression of the Turkic soldiers. The Turkic soldiers did nothing good except to disrupt the borders of the Tang Dynasty. But this time he saw so many Turkic generals, but they were all respectful to Wang Ping'an and took the initiative to ask for battle. For him, it was really a new thing. When he was excited, he came up with an idea. Anyway, the harm was the foreign countries. The foreign barbarians went to harm the foreign barbarians, which was exactly his taste.
The governor of Yunzhou laughed and said, "King Khan, this is simple, you don't have to send troops to destroy Silla. If you want to go there and play, there are ways!"
Ashinaqiboer's eyes lit up and she said, "Sir, what are the solutions?"
The governor of Yunzhou said: "Silla is a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty. When you attack Goguryeo and Baekje, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and rob. If you enter Goguryeo and Baekje, they will first grab a lot and occupy some land on the border!"
Asanaki Boer nodded and said, "Not bad, if I had changed to me, I would have done this too. Who wouldn't take advantage of it? What's more, this kind of big advantage!"
The governor of Yunzhou smiled and said, "It's simple. After you finish fighting Goguryeo and Baekje, you will send someone to Silla to tell them to give up the land. If you eat the fat meat in your mouth, the Silla people will certainly not spit it out. You will ask them again. If you don't return the land, just pay some money for buying the land!"
Asunaqiboer said, "This is called blackmail, right? The people of Silla want money, food, and women."
The governor of Yunzhou said: "Yes, that's the way to do it. At the beginning, the Sillas will definitely try their best to meet your requirements, because they are afraid of going to war and getting angry, so they will directly enter their country. So at the beginning, they will give you whatever you want and try to satisfy them!"
Asanagi Boer nodded and said, "But we can never be satisfied. The more they give, the more we will want. If they need a few more times, they will not be able to stand it. One day they will no longer give us wealth and children. At that time, we will find excuses to start a war with them and rob them of them. If they resist, they will destroy them by the way, right?"
The governor of Yunzhou clapped and praised, "King Khan is the King of Khan, he is indeed wise! Not bad, just do it like this. Silla is not big. Even if they gather troops from all over the country, they are not your opponent of Khan. After destroying them, you will rest there, rest as you want, and raise whatever you want!"
Asanagi Boer said, "I learned another trick. After returning to the Willow, I can use it on other Turkic tribes, regardless of whether they want cattle and sheep."
Wang Ping'an pretended to be angry and said to the governor of Yunzhou: "Look at you, you have taught the children badly!"
The governor of Yunzhou laughed dryly. He didn't want the Turkic soldiers to stay in Yunzhou for too long. If something unexpected happened, it would be difficult to deal with. He said, "Zheng Ye Wang, aren't you going to let the recruits practice martial arts? You have been waiting for the arrival of King Ashina Khan. Now that King Khan has arrived, why not start the exercise!"
Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Yes, you have to compete in martial arts quickly. I have been here for too long. The weather is already in autumn. If you don't send troops, then when you arrive in Goguryeo, you will probably get winter. What else can you fight? Everyone can spend the winter in the tent!"
But Asanqiboer said, "Don't worry, Father, our soldiers can withstand the severe cold and do not lack leather jackets for winter. As long as they are full, they can still go out to fight even if it is snowing!"
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "I know that our soldiers and generals are brave. But if the weather is too cold, the number of people will be reduced when fighting. They are all my brothers, I feel sorry!"
He paused and said, "This time I wanted to compete for the new recruits, I mainly wanted to pick out some elite soldiers to use as personal soldiers. It is not easy to send someone back to farm, so I want to join the remaining recruits into the army. You can train them for your father and train them as scouts, and keep them for future use!"
Asanagi Boer agreed happily and said, "If you want to say that other children are not good, but it is extremely simple to train new recruits as scouts. To be honest, all our Turkic soldiers and generals are scouts!"
The Turkic generals nodded together and all laughed.
That night, the governor's mansion held a banquet, and the governor of Yunzhou treated him to entertain Asina Qiboer and his group. Fortunately, although there were many Turkish generals, they were not picky about food and drink. Large pieces of barbecue and large bowls of strong wine could satisfy them.
The next day, Wang Ping'an took Asuna Qiboer and others to pull the recruits out of the Great Wall, allowing the recruits to compete in martial arts and skills, so as to divide the superiority and inferiority in order to reorganize them.
The new recruits all knew very well that this competition was different from the last time. Last time we were all joining the army, and this time we were with whom we would become an officer and whether we could become an officer. As long as we showed our skills and achieved a good ranking in this competition, we would not only become an officer, but also an officer with good grades in the newly formed army.
When everyone enters the ranks, most people are trying to make a living, but even if they make a living, who would be willing to drink porridge if they can eat meat!
This competition is not based on the ring, but draws lots. Each sign number is written according to the numbers. Each sign number has two identical numbers. As long as the same one is won, the two will start the competition. The winner will enter the next round. It doesn’t matter if you defeat it. You can continue to compete until you lose thoroughly and there is no comparison. The one who wins the top is naturally the highest-ranking officer, and the one who loses to the end can only be a soldier.
With official positions as the first prize, the recruits naturally competed in the competition. However, some of them compared themselves in their hearts and found that they could not win the other party, so they simply did not compare and admitted defeat directly. There were also many such people.
The first round is like, three to five and two, and it ends in less than half an hour. It is divided into two major camps that are victorious and defeated. Then the competition is over in the afternoon, and two more rounds are compared. After repeated competitions, it takes three days before the results are obtained.
Wang Ping'an added the most powerful one hundred of the new recruits into his original guard regiment, so that his original guard regiment had 500 people, called the First Guard Regiment. The second level of the recruits was organized into the second regiment, called the Second Guard Regiment. This was named and was organized to the Sixth Guard Regiment. In this way, his guard regiment had 3,000 people, led by the Ouyang Li brothers.
As for those recruits who were not even organized into the Sixth Regiment, some of them left sadly, without even calling, ran away overnight and became deserters. Wang Ping'an did not send anyone to chase these people. Those who could not even bear the small failure would not have much prospects. Just escape and save food.
Wang Ping'an formed three more regiments for those who did not escape and handed them over to Asunaqiboer, and asked him to train these recruits to become scouts.
It is simple to say that the reorganization of the army is a matter of simple words, but it is quite troublesome if it is done. Fortunately, the recruits don’t have to compete for any official positions. Who can be a higher officer is all hit by fists. If someone doesn’t accept it, then the truth will be seen under the fists, which is quick and easy to deal with!
It took three days to reorganize the army to straighten out the sequence of the army.
At this time, the weather had already turned colder and autumn was coming. It was a good time for grass to grow fat horses, which was very suitable for the army to gallop. Wang Ping'an bid farewell to the governor of Yunzhou and took the food and winter clothes sent by the governor of Yunzhou to rush to Youzhou.
Youzhou is not close to Yunzhou, but it doesn't matter to the cavalry. The army galloped and arrived outside Youzhou in a few days. The Turkic soldiers still did not enter the pass. Youzhou is not easy to walk. The Great Wall is built on the mountain. It is too difficult for the army to enter the pass, which is a waste of time. Moreover, even if you want to supplement military rations, you don't have to enter the pass, just let the governor of Youzhou send it out.
Wang Ping'an did not go to Youzhou, but just sent someone to notify the governor of Youzhou, asking him to provide military rations and various required arms, and to supplement the military 100,000 people.
It is too difficult to put it elsewhere and it is necessary to make up for the needs of a 100,000 army. Yunzhou cannot do it anyway. But for Youzhou, although it is difficult, it can be done. Youzhou was the rear base camp of the army's Eastern Expedition since the Sui Dynasty. Not only did it have a large number of war horses, but it also had sufficient weapons and equipment. After all, even if it is no longer the base camp of the Eastern Expedition, Youzhou still needs to have a large amount of armaments to prevent foreign enemies.
Wang Ping'an sent Ouyang Li to ask for it. After Ouyang Li entered Youzhou, he came out three days later, but he did not come out alone, but brought a person to meet Wang Ping'an.
When Wang Ping'an saw this man, he was shocked. This man was nothing but Changsun Wuji!
After receiving the news in advance, Wang Ping'an personally welcomed the military camp. After seeing Changsun Wuji, before Changsun Wuji got out of the car, he saluted outside the car and shouted: "Uncle, why have you come out of seclusion and why have you come to Youzhou?"
He thought Changsun Wuji was here to serve as a military supervisor, and was afraid that he would have any accidents when he brought the Turkic army to expedition, so Changsun Wuji came. But even if he came to serve as a military supervisor, Changsun Wuji didn't need to come in person. Send a general to come in person, such as Li Ji or Yuchi Gong, it was enough, so how could Changsun Wuji come in person?
