President of Datang [Transmigration Book]

Li Tan knew that Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were probably on bad terms the moment he knew that An Lushan was proclaimed emperor.

For Li Longji, An Lushan proclaimed himself emperor, which was equivalent to touching his inverse scales. No, this is no longer touching, this is directly poking with a knife!

When Li Longji was furious, he would definitely not find fault with himself, nor would he feel that his favorite courtier was at fault, so he must find fault with others.

At this time, the frontline generals will bear more anger, and if Li Longji asks them to take Luoyang back, but Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi stick to Toutong Pass... Li Longji will definitely not let them go.

As for the eunuchs offering slander, there may be some reasons, but it must not be the biggest reason.

It is more likely that the supervising army or other eunuchs in the court have touched Li Longji's veins and offered slander in order to gain favor. As for the life and death of the two generals...what does it have to do with them?

After Li Tan sent out the memorial, he could only resign himself to fate.

An Lushan came too fast. If he had known that An Lushan would be cheated, he would be able to turn around if he was bullied like this. He would definitely not leave Chang'an.

When he left Chang'an, he calculated that it would be ten years before the real Anshi Rebellion, and he planned to build a base during these ten years.

In this way, at least when the Anshi Rebellion broke out, they would not be controlled by others.

As a result, the plan is really not as fast as the change.

After Li Tan finished writing the memorandum, he led his troops to the expedition, and now the Tubo side is the most important thing.

When he arrived in Shanzhou, he didn't want to go to the state capital, but the governor of Shanzhou greeted him a long way away, and stopped Li Tan on the way.

Li Tan was riding on Zhaoye Bailong in light and soft armor, feeling very helpless, looking at the governor of Shanzhou, he said: "This time the march is urgent, so I never went to bother the governor, why should the governor be so polite?"

The governor of Shanzhou was a dark and thin old man who looked more like a farmer than an official.

However, his position as an official was indeed not satisfactory, otherwise he would not have been the governor of Xiazhou for decades.

If in other periods, the governor of Shanzhou had been here for a long time, Li Tan would still feel that his abilities might be limited.

However, in this imperial court, those who are really capable don't know where they are assigned, so he is not easy to evaluate.

The governor of Shanzhou said with some trepidation: "I dare not work, Your Highness, I am here only to work for the army."

Li Tan was taken aback for a moment, and then saw the governor of Shanzhou waving his hand to the back, and a group of people came up, men, women, old and young, all holding things in their hands, including baskets and food boxes.

Li Tan looked at those common people, most of whom had dry and dark skin, and was a little confused for a while.

However, since the governor of Shanzhou said that he wanted to work in the army, it might just be a formality, so let's continue.

It's not easy for him to blame the other party, it's because Lao Jun came here for no reason this time.

The people of Shanzhou presented things to the soldiers. Li Tan took a look and found that they were all drought-resistant crops, such as highland barley, some eggs, and even some wild vegetables. As for the meat... I didn't see it arrived.

Li Tan was a little shocked by the poverty in Shanzhou. You must know that since they are laborers, they must make face for the state, and they must get the best supplies they can get.

So in Shanzhou, this is the best?This is simply poorer than Liangzhou!

The military rations he prepared for this expedition are much better than this one, among other things, there are a lot of jerky.

After Laojun, because it was getting late, Li Tan simply set up camp on the spot, and by the way, he also stayed behind the governor of Shanzhou and the laborers he brought.

After camping, it is natural to cook. If you don't want to embarrass the governor of Shanzhou, this meal should be made with the things they sent.

However, this is not simply the other party coming to my house as a guest. I want to show him face, and his soldiers have to hurry!

So the governor of Shanzhou experienced the food of the army. When he saw those meals, even the governor of Shanzhou was a little surprised: "This... this is too rich."

As soon as Li Tan heard it, he was sure that it was probably because he couldn't get promoted that he couldn't speak.

He smiled and said: "The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, so I certainly won't here. After all, it is to defend the country and stay away from the homeland. Relatives throw their heads and blood at the border. I can't treat them badly."

After seeing that the food in Li Tan's hand was no different from that of ordinary soldiers, the governor of Shanzhou's expression softened a lot.

At least this one doesn't look like why not eat minced meat.

He looked at Li Tan and asked, "Are you sure about your Highness going?"

Of course, he is sure, but facing these people, Li Tan reckoned that even if he said he was sure, they might not believe him, so he said: "In the battle against Tubo, I am afraid that General Geshu and Guo Jiedu may not dare to say that they will win." , I shall do my best.”

The governor of Shanzhou hesitated, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, Li Tan looked at it strangely and asked: "If you have any doubts, just speak up."

The governor of Shanzhou rubbed his hands on his trousers and said, "Your official...I have a merciless request from you."

Li Tan said, "Please tell me."

Qi Ai Ai, governor of Shanzhou, said, "Can your Highness negotiate peace with Tubo?"

As soon as he said these words, Li Tan couldn't help but his face darkened instantly.

He originally thought that if the governor of Shanzhou's request was not too much, he would agree to it. It seemed that the old man was really not easy, but he really didn't expect it to be such a request!

Back then, Tubo didn't let Tubo be honest when he sent the princess to get married. Is it enough to negotiate a peace now?

Li Tan stood up angrily and said, "The governor is drunk, go to bed earlier!"

Shanzhou Governor Shi looked at the bowl in his hand - it was full of porridge, how could he be drunk?

However, seeing that the governor was out of control when he saw King Ning angry, he had no choice but to force Xixi to stand up and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness... Please listen to your Highness."

Li Tan tilted his head slightly and said, "I've already lost my ambition before the war, what else is there to listen to?"

He was saving face for the governor of Shanzhou. If he was more impolite, he would point to this man's nose and ask him if he had surrendered to Tubo.

The governor of Shanzhou got up and bowed to the ground, and said with a sad face: "Your Highness, the imperial court has never won a battle with Tubo in recent years. At most, it is just defending the land. When the situation stabilizes, the guard will be transferred away. Then Tubo will come back. Cholera from Shanzhou."

No one can tell when Tubo will come. The governor of Shanzhou has no military power, and he can't take precautions in advance. He can communicate with the Longyou Jiedu envoy earlier, but the problem is that Tubo hasn't moved, how can they deploy troops at will? ?

If people who don't like this go up together, then he might lose his official position.

After all, unauthorized deployment of troops is more severe than punishment for corruption. Li Longji himself started as a rebel, so he naturally looked down on his subordinates having too much military power. It is a pity that he took precautions against his own people, but ignored An Lushan.

Li Tan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him and asked, "Do you mean that Shanzhou will be safe after reconciliation?"

The governor of Shanzhou was silent for a while before he said: "It's all a loss, but that's just a loss of some money, but people can survive. Your Highness, I don't know anything in Beijing. The villages that were handed over from Tubo before have been empty. , are all... who were slaughtered in the village!"

Li Tan was slightly taken aback when he heard this, he had thought that Tubo would definitely not show mercy when calling, but he never expected to be so mad!

At this time, he also understood the meaning of the governor of Shanzhou. He didn't want to die in Shanzhou, at least not because he died of revenge from Tubo, so he didn't want the two sides to fight.

Li Tan could understand his thoughts, but he didn't agree with him, so he said: "Even if we negotiate peace, it's nothing more than seeking skin from a tiger. It will only fuel Tubo's ambitions and let them make progress. Don't worry, I'm here this time, not for the sake of defending the land." Seize the city! Stone Castle has been in their hands for too long, it's time to come back."

The governor of Shanzhou was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "Then... Your Highness wishes your Highness the best of luck."

After speaking, he shook his head and left with a sigh.

When Li Tan told the people in the state capital that he wanted to seize the city, everyone was excited, but the governor of Shanzhou was unmoved after hearing this.

In his eyes, what Li Tan said was nothing more than a youthful spirit, and he also knew that he might not be able to persuade the young prince, so he had to go back and make preparations, but what else could he do besides conveying reminders to the people?

Li Tan didn't care whether the governor of Shanzhou believed him or not. His age was a flaw, and it was normal for the other party not to believe him. Anyway, since ancient times, famous generals have always talked about military merits.

Now he feels that his military achievements are not convincing. As long as he can defeat Tubo, the court will pay more attention to him if he wants to dispatch troops in the future.

It's just that the words of the governor of Shanzhou reminded him that he was going to go back and look at the map to minimize the possibility of ordinary people being harassed.

He glanced at the map, and they would arrive in Shancheng in a short time, and in front of Shancheng was Shibao City, and in front of Shibao City was Dafeichuan.

The Battle of Dafeichuan is also very famous, but this battle was defeated by the Tang army, and finally had to negotiate a peace.

The leader at that time was Xue Rengui, who compared Li Tan to Bashijie in terms of fame and experience, and even such a person failed to win against Tubo.

Although the main reason was that the Tang army was a tired army at that time, and the deputy general Guo Daifeng had a disagreement with Xue Rengui, relying on his father Guo Xiaoke's insistence on going his own way, which led to the defeat of the Tang army.

But now everyone only remembers that the result of that war was Tang Jun's defeat, and even Xue Rengui lost, so what did Li Tan win?

What's more, Xue Rengui had the support of the entire country at the beginning, but now Datang's military focus is on how to destroy Anlu Mountain, and Li Tan only has this little army in hand.

Li Tan was also a little uneasy. He couldn't estimate the impact that a raid team could have. If it had no effect and could only be head-to-head, he really had to think about how to use the props in his hand reasonably.

Just when he was worried, Tian Shengong came to ask for an interview, and when he saw Li Tan staring at the map with a serious expression, he asked, "Your Majesty, are you worried?"

Li Tan put the charcoal pencil aside and said helplessly, "It's impossible not to worry, after all, the battlefield changes rapidly."

Tian Shengong hesitated and said: "My lord, I think that if you lead troops to make a surprise attack, you should treat the Turks the same way as before. We send troops first to catch them by surprise, and wait until the opponent's troops are deployed to the front line. The more people draw fire, the easier it will be for you.”

Of course, Li Tan also knew that this was the best way, but the problem was that if he was not around once the war started, the casualties would be out of his control.

Seeing Li Tan hesitate, Tian Shengong asked, "What is your Majesty worried about?"

Li Tan said: "In that case, the front line would be too dangerous."

Tian Shengong wondered: "Is it dangerous to fight? Your Majesty can take the lead, how can I be willing to wait for others?"

Li Tan had no choice but to say: "I don't know much about the situation of these soldiers now. What if they take the initiative to attack and cause casualties?"

Tian Shengong looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "Has there ever been a war without casualties?"

God, why is his boss so naive?

Are there any undead in war?If you only think about not dying, then don't fight, just surrender!

No, even if they surrendered, they might still kill the surrendered general!

Of course Li Tan knew this truth, but that's because those generals didn't have his cheats!Now that he has a cheat, why can't he think a little more?

Tian Shengong saw that he was not convinced, so he asked: "The son of Zhu Xie has only a thousand people in his hands, but he still attacked Tubo at that time, isn't he worried about casualties?"

In vain he thought that Li Tan had been with Zhu Xieli for so long, and Zhu Xieli seemed to be a character who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Wei Huo, so he should be able to receive some influence.

This is also one of the reasons why he confidently and boldly talked with Li. Now it seems... Didn't Zhu Xieli teach you anything?

Facing Tian Shengong's unbelievable gaze, Li Tan felt a little guilty, cleared his throat and said, "I can't learn Yin Xing's skills, but he has his style of play, and I also have mine. , In this way, when the time comes, you lead your troops to feign an attack, and don't charge too hard."

Tian Shengong said in his heart that he would not accept the order of the foreign emperor, and when you leave, I'd better make adjustments according to the battlefield situation.

After all, he could tell that Li Tan's leadership in battle... was as tender as a freshly hung gourd.

Although Tian Shengong himself has never led a soldier, as long as a talented person is born with such an intuition, he knows what to do to win.

In the past, this intuition has been fully reflected in the sand table drills, but this time Tian Shengong intends to play more steadily, after all, he doesn't want to be Zhao Kuo.

After Tian Shengong left, Li Tan always felt that his character design seemed to have accidentally collapsed a little.

But if you think about it, this is one of your own.

The next day, after they arrived in Shancheng and settled down, they planned to take a rest for a night.

On the third day, Tubo, who had just received the Tang army's movement, ushered in the Tang army's initiative to attack.

The Tubo general stood on the stone castle and saw that the leader of the army was a young gentleman, so he said contemptuously: "Is there no one in the Tang Dynasty? It is really incomprehensible to send such a yellow-haired boy here."

Tian Shengong, who was ridiculed by the other side, was unmoved. He knew that his age would become the target of the opponent's attack, so he was naturally prepared.

However, being mentally prepared does not mean that he will not retaliate, so he shouted in surprise: "Your elegant words are actually not bad. It can be seen that you admire Datang. Why don't you surrender? I recommend you, Da Tang." Tang is currently short of talents, I think you will be able to be reused."

The Tubo general turned red with anger. As a place with less developed culture, the Tubo people had complicated feelings for Datang. While despising the weakness of the Central Plains people, they envied the other party's various technological developments.

However, the more this is the case, the more serious the contempt on the lips, as if not belittling a few words is not enough to reflect their superiority.

Even among the Tubo nobles, there are not a few people who learn the elegant language. Although Tian Shengong didn't scold him now, it is equivalent to exposing his faults!

The Tubo general suddenly became furious: "Huangkou kid is talking nonsense! If you have the guts, fight me first!"

Tian Shengong smiled even more happily: "Yo, the idioms are also used well, I guess I shouldn't be able to understand the Dibao, it's very good."

Although he was laughing at the Tubo general, he was very careful on guard. After he saw that the Tubo general was determined, he felt a little pity.

Although he knew that it was impossible for the veteran to lose his sanity easily by such words, he still hoped that the other party would mess up.

It's a pity that although the Tubo general on the opposite side looks furious, he is actually as careful as dust, and the vanguard defensive arrangements are in place.

And the Tubo general's fury was naturally done for Tian Shengong to see, and he only hoped that this inexperienced boy could underestimate the enemy because of this, but he didn't expect that the other party was not deceived at all.

The two fought a psychological battle, and neither of them achieved their goal, but they got to know each other better, so they were naturally more cautious.

Before Li Tan left, Tian Shengong asked Tian Shengong to feign an attack. Seeing the opponent's behavior, Tian Shengong thought that he must put pressure on the opponent, so that the opponent could pile up more troops here, and the pressure on the king's side would be less a lot.

Li Tan, who was worried, was on his way with his elite troops. This time, because it was a surprise attack, Li Tan asked Tang Tang to follow him. After all, Tang Tang would definitely be of special use when necessary.

As a result, when they were copying the back road of Shibao City, they happened to encounter a group of troops sent by Tubo.

No one on both sides expected to meet the enemy in such a place, and they were stunned for a moment.

This is very embarrassing.
