Tang mansion.


    He who should come always comes.


    At the end of December, successive War Reports reached the capital.


    In the northwest, Turks invade the border. In a faint way, Turkic armies of all nationalities advance into the western regions.


    After receiving the military newspaper, the king of Tang convened the civil and military forces of the Tang Dynasty to discuss countermeasures.


    Tai Chi hall.


    Armed generals dressed in armor and dignified officials gathered together to discuss major plans.


    It''s a big plan, but there aren''t many plans.


    Soldiers come to block, water and earth cover.


    Datang, which has been recuperating for more than a year, is already ready to go. The western regions are ready to move. It is a good time to try again the new soldiers of Datang.


    Yes, no doubt.


    The key question is who will go and who will lead the troops.


    The eldest sun Wuji''s face was dignified and scanned the king of Tang in the hall.


    "Your Majesty."


    "Now the Tang Dynasty is full of soldiers. If we want to fight, we Tang will not be afraid."


    "It''s just that the new year is coming, and the northwest is very cold. I''m afraid the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are uncomfortable. If they don''t suffer from it again in the warm spring next year."


    Winter has always been the season of truce, especially the Chinese nation emphasizes family reunion and happiness at the end of the new year.


    Fang Xuanling took a look at the silent king of the Tang Dynasty in the high hall and was a little cautious.


    "Your Majesty."


    "I often hear that there are many alpine mountains and vast deserts in the northwest."


    "This time, when the snow closes the territory, all eyes are white. People who are not familiar with hell will probably get lost."


    "I think if we send troops, we should focus on the Northwest Garrison, supplemented by recruits."


    As a literary minister, I know a lot about the overall situation of geographical advantage. At this time, I can tell you in advance to prevent future trouble.


    Logically speaking, the West Turks took the initiative to start a war, which gave Datang an excuse to send troops. It caters to the Tang King''s mind of the great dream of hegemony. The Tang King should be excited.


    But the king of the Tang Dynasty on the dragon throne was unusually quiet and motionless, as if he were thinking about a difficult problem in life.


    Looking at the old people standing at his highness, their hair is gray, and some are already bent.


    Years do not forgive.


    The old officials who used to fight with themselves in the battlefield were old and sick.


    In the talented Tang Dynasty, I don''t know when people in important positions are all old people.


    Looking here, King Tang''s eyes were a little sour. He was silent for a moment and turned his head to the general on the other side of the clock.


    "What do you think, gentlemen?"


    Yuchi Jingde took the lead out of the crowd, shouted loudly and stamped his feet.


    "Hey! What else do you think?"


    "When the thief comes, it''s the one who hit him!"


    After that, he clapped his chest and shouted.


    "Although I''m old, I can still eat two bowls of rice now. I have plenty of strength!"


    "Your Majesty, please fight! Kill a few border thieves and lift their heads to cheer up the new year of the court ministers."


    Glancing at Yuchi Jingde, who was slightly excited, Cheng Zhijie slowly stepped out of the line.


    "The new year is approaching. If you say something bloody, you have no appetite. How can you help me?"


    Bowing to the dragon throne king of Tang Dynasty, Cheng Zhijie continued.


    "Your Majesty, the dog still has a small success. If this time, the dog will lead the army and be a pioneer, he can also increase his experience."


    War has always been the shortest way to obtain officials and barons.


    Cheng Zhijie competes for merit for his children. Su dingfang is a little anxious.


    Su Qingjie, his son, and Chumo are on an equal footing. If Chumo leads the army again, won''t he be on top of his son when others return.


    Without waiting for the decision of the king of the Tang Dynasty, Su dingfang stepped out of the line and bowed his hand for orders.


    "Your majesty!"


    "The old minister was injured and almost made a big mistake. He was really ashamed and embarrassed."


    "I beg your majesty to allow the old minister to go out again and calm the western regions with a little regret."


    Between words, half kneel on the ground and hug boxing.


    "Su Qingjie, the dog son, is still young, but has great potential. The old minister is willing to take his son to fight and let my child see the world."


    "Beg your Majesty''s permission!"


    It is well known that the West Turks are weak and the East Turks are not strong.


    Now this easy to handle fat is in front of us. Who doesn''t want to get a handful of great achievements?


    Gao Shilian glanced at the generals and was very happy.


    Old generals are about to retire, new generals will emerge, old and new will take over, and Datang military camp can also pour in new vitality.


    He moved slowly and stood on the hall. Gao Shilian bowed with his hands.


    "Your Majesty."


    "In the first war of the northern expedition, the younger generation and leading figures came out in large numbers, showing their style."


    "In my opinion, this battle can be dominated by new generals and dominated by veteran generals."


    "Also let the former subordinates get to know new generals and prepare for the replacement of new and old ones."


    What Gao Shilian said was exactly what the king of Tang wanted.


    Such as Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, whose great achievements have long been known by people all over the world.


    However, the young generation of young generals who emerged in the heart only emerged in the northern expedition.


    Many army sergeants only heard their names, but did not see their real people. They might as well let these young generals show up more and mix some prestige and reputation, or provide fresh blood for the Datang military camp.


    Thinking of this, the king of Tang suddenly stood up and looked at his Highness''s ministers with a smile on his face.


    "It is hateful for the West Turks to invade the border, bully my people and rob me of food and grass!"


    "I specially ordered general Su to take charge of the March and take charge of the overall situation. Cheng Chumo, Su Qingjie and Chang sun Chong each LED 30000 troops and sent troops to the western expedition. We can''t afford to lose."
