Chapter 810 Temptation
Lin Xuan looked at Xi Junmai enviously at Xue Rengui, and said with a smile: "There will be wars, how about I transfer you to any of the military?"
Junhou is in charge of 500 people. Although the number is not large, it is also the most senior officer that Lin Xuan can promote.
The upper level is the school lieutenant. Even Lin Xuan can't be promoted if he wants to. He needs to report to the Ministry of War for approval.
If generals can be promoted at will, wouldn't the army become private soldiers?
"Thank you, Lord Hou." Xi Junmai said excitedly.
Junhou's starting point is not low, and he believes that with his ability, Junhou is just a starting point.
"Master Hou is already the Duke of the county, and he is still called Master Hou." Liu reminded with a big smile.
"Yes, yes, thank you Duke." Xi Junmai said hastily.
"Haha, don't talk about you, I'm not used to it myself." Lin Xuan spoke out to relieve Xi Junmai's embarrassment.
……
At night, the whole camp was filled with the smell of meat.
All the soldiers showed joy when they asked about Rouxiang.
Although they could eat some meat during the war, the taste would definitely not be much better.
But this time, the crown prince came to reward the army on behalf of the emperor, so naturally he would not be perfunctory. Li Chengqian specially told the Huotou army to make it taste better.
Not only that, but Li Chengqian also brought a lot of wine with him on this trip.
Although you can't drink freely, everyone can still get a bowl or two.
It was lively until late at night.
Early the next morning, Li Chengqian summoned the generals to convey Li Shimin's order to them.
After listening to it, Ashinasheer was the happiest.
Although he holds the official position of General Zuo Xiaowei, he only has a few thousand soldiers under him.
But it is different now. Li Shimin asked him to recruit those Western Turkic descendants, which not only represented his trust in him, but also meant that his power would also increase greatly.
Li Daozong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty and the ministers' strategy is very good, but the Western Turks are very hostile to Bi Guogong. I am worried that the time it takes to recruit those surrendered soldiers will delay the next use of troops against the Turks."
According to his original plan, he was going to send troops a few days ago, but he had to stay here just to wait for Li Chengqian.
"His Royal Highness, Chief Supervisor, I guarantee that the soldiers will be reorganized in three days." Ashinasheer said.
Li Daozong said in a deep voice: "Bi Guogong, you must know that there are no jokes in the army!"
"If the last general can't do it, he is willing to be punished!" Ashinasheer said.
"Uncle Wang, what do you think?" Li Chengqian asked.
Li Daozong said: "Your Highness, if it takes three days, it's fine."
"Okay, since that's the case, give Bi Guogong three days to reorganize and surrender the soldiers." Li Chengqian said.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, but the general has a request at the end." Ashinasheer said.
"Presumptuous, how dare you ask His Highness the Crown Prince!" Hou Junji scolded.
He was naturally displeased that Ashinasheer, a general of a foreign race, was on an equal footing with him.
Li Chengqian waved his hand, looked at Ashinasheer and asked, "What do you want?"
"The minister needs the right to appoint middle-level generals." Ashinasheer said.
"Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable." Hou Junji said.
"Yes, Your Highness, if the middle-level generals are all appointed by Duke Bi, wouldn't they become his personal soldiers, just in case..." a partial general said.
Although he didn't say what happened, everyone present understood what he meant.
It was nothing more than worrying that Ashinasheer would turn against him.
Except for a few people present, most of them did not trust Ashinasheer.
This distrust is not only because he is a foreigner, but also because of jealousy.
They have been born and died for so many years, but they have not been made dukes of the state. How can they not be jealous if a general directly surpasses them.
Li Chengqian also hesitated. In fact, Li Shimin did not arrange middle-level generals for Ashinasheer to recruit those soldiers.
Sending Han generals there will not be able to subdue those Turkic people at all.
But Ashina directly asked him for the right to appoint him. If he agreed, he would also be responsible if something happened.
Li Chengqian hesitated for a while, and looked at Li Daozong.
Li Daozong said: "His Royal Highness, if you let Bi Guogong recruit those soldiers, you must naturally give them the right to appoint!"
"Okay, I'm alone!" Li Chengqian was also decisive, seeing that Li Daozong agreed with this matter, he immediately agreed.
"Thank you, Your Highness."

Marutus Castle
Cui Xu came to Yuan Mansion, and after being notified, he met Yuan Gai Suwen.
"Brother Cui, could it be that the news I asked you to inquire about last time has a result?" Yuan Gai Suwen asked.
"That's right, my younger brother contacted the family. According to the news from the family, the reason why Tang Dynasty sent troops to the grassland was to send troops from the grassland to Goguryeo in order to destroy Goguryeo." Cui Xu said.
The last time Cui Xu finished talking with Yuan Gai Suwen, he sent a letter to the family when he got back.
Unexpectedly, the family replied to him, asking him to send troops from the Yuan family to help the Western Turks at all costs.
Although he didn't know the family's intentions, Cui Xu knew that Lin Xuan was also in the army. If the Yuan family sent troops, they might even have a chance to kill Lin Xuan.
It was because of Lin Xuan that he fled to Goguryeo, which made him hate Lin Xuan to the bone.
Whether it's for the mission of the family or revenge for Lin Xuan, he has to facilitate this matter.
"I knew Datang wanted to send troops to Goguryeo, but it's a pity that my father didn't agree to send troops to aid the Western Turks." Yuan Gai Suwen said bitterly.
"Then what should we do? Once the Western Turks are destroyed, the Tang Dynasty will be able to use troops against Goguryeo. Could it be that Lord Mo Lizhi is unwilling to send troops with this news?" Cui Xu said worriedly.
Yuan Gai Suwen knew how Cui Xu came to Goguryeo. The reason why he got acquainted with Cui Xu was because he accidentally learned the news when he was on an envoy to the Tang Dynasty.
So he returned to Goguryeo and sent someone to check Cui Xu's whereabouts.
If the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, if Cui Xu was caught, he would definitely die.
He only thought that Cui Xu was worried about this, and didn't think much about it.
In fact, what Cui Xu was worried about was that if the Yuan family could not send troops, they would not be able to complete the family's mission.
Yuan Gai Suwen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Father might not agree to send troops just because of this."
After being reprimanded by Yuan Taizuo last time, he thought about it carefully.
Yuan Taizuo has not rebelled all the time, in order to maintain the stability of Goguryeo.
Reluctance to send troops is to maintain balance.
Yuan Taezuo wanted to send troops, but King Goguryeo definitely opposed it.
Although Yuan Taizuo could ignore the order of King Goguryeo and forcefully send troops, but in this way, all the soldiers and horses sent were from the Yuan family.
It's okay to win, but if you lose, you will suffer heavy losses, and the balance with the royal family will be broken.
Therefore, if you want to send troops, you must not only persuade Yuan Tae-joo, but also the King of Goguryeo, and only if both parties send troops together.
"Brother Yuan, do you know that Lin Xuan is in Datang's Northern Expedition Army?" Cui Xu said.
"Lin Xuan?" Yuan Gai Suwen thought for a while and said, "Could it be the Marquis of Jingyang County?"
"That's right, both Immortal Drunk and Liuli were made by Lin Xuan. If Brother Yuan can catch him, he will be able to get the formula of Immortal Drunk and Liuli. These two things alone can bring us countless treasures." Wealth." Cui Xu seduced.
