"Come on, Maid Guanyin, eat more."
Li Shimin fished out a few pieces of vegetables, stuffed them into Changsun Wugu's bowl, and said with concern,
"Vegetables are nutritious."
Changsun Wugou rolled his eyes at him with a look of disgust.
"Go, go, I want to eat meat."
She scooped the vegetables back into Li Shimin's bowl and hummed,
"Eat less meat and go eat grass!"
After that, Benma Liu took the beef slices flying up and down in the hot pot into his bowl.
Dip it lightly in salt and put it in your mouth.
"This beef is always more fragrant than mutton, and it's also quite tender, without the smell of mutton."
Changsun Wugou chewed with a look of enjoyment and joked,
"However, it is delicious..."
"I just don't know which farm's cattle fell to death and became our meal."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"Queen, there is no need to worry."
Xu Fenglei explained,
"The beef eaten in the palace today is all ordered from the Hu people. The cattle driven down from the grasslands of northern Xinjiang are the cattle on the grasslands, not the precious cattle used by us farmers to cultivate the land."
"Compared to our yellow cattle and green cattle, cattle on the grassland are more resistant to cold and frost, have thicker fat, and their meat is smoother and more tender, especially the veal meat, which is outstanding."
"What I have tasted is the flesh of the calf that I have spoken of."
The eldest grandson Wugao suddenly understood.
"I ordered it from a barbarian, drove it all the way down, and finally it became a plate of food in front of me."
She whispered,
"This dish is probably worth a lot of money."
Chiliu.
Li Shimin took advantage of everyone's inattention and inhaled two pieces of mutton.
"If the profits from transactions between foreign countries are not huge, who would be willing to do it?"
He hummed,
"Whether it's Turks, Uighurs, or Tiele people selling this calf, it starts at 30 taels of silver!"
"This price is enough to buy a dozen healthy cattle in Chang'an!"
"It's so expensive..." Changsun Wugou muttered, and his gesture of pinching meat slowed down a little.
"So, if we want to eat cheap beef, we all need to be listened to!"
Li Shimin pointed at Xu Fenglei with his chopsticks and joked,
"When Tingming annihilates the Turks and captures Jieli Khan alive, the countless cattle, sheep, and livestock in northern Xinjiang, as well as the millions of Turks, will all return to the Tang Dynasty!"
"When the time comes, you can eat as much as you want!"
"Isn't that right, my general manager of Zhengbei University?"
Xu Fenglei: "..."
Good guy!
You have a big appetite and your goals are set high enough!
"Your Majesty, don't force others to do anything."
Xu Fenglei shrugged and said,
"With my abilities, even if I try my best, I can only guarantee to win this war."
"As for capturing the chief and destroying the country, I dare not take this guarantee... How about your Majesty hire someone else?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he was not annoyed, but became interested.
"Oh? You already have a strategy in mind, are you sure you can win?"
He continued,
"Come on, come on, tell me first."
"In this way, I am Jieli Khan now. Let's conduct an offensive and defensive exercise to see how the situation will develop."
This Li Er feels itchy because he can't go into battle in person!
Simulate it now, even if you are a villain and have sex!
"good."
Xu Fenglei didn't talk nonsense and said,
"Your Majesty is currently at Jieli, located in Dingxiangya Tent."
"I am now gathering troops in Shuozhou and leading three thousand elite light cavalry to attack Dingxiangya's tent at night. How will your Majesty respond?"
Li Shimin looked solemn.
"What's so hard about this?"
He responded,
"If I were Jieli Khan, I would have already sent scouts to pay attention to the movements of the Tang army. When the Tang army was in operation, I would also have to gather troops to defend Dingxiang! At the same time, I would have sent various scouts and spies to find out the Tang army. Numbers and intentions.”
"You have only three thousand cavalry, don't you underestimate my Turkic army? Let alone three thousand, even if you bring thirty thousand troops here, you will never come back!"
"In a fierce battle, I can defeat you! Or even defeat you!"
Xu Fenglei: "???"
"Don't push me, don't push me anymore. It's boring for you to do this!"
He said with a speechless face,
"Is this a battle plan that Jieli Khan can come up with?"
"I said, you have to take on Jie Li's role and use his head to think about the problem, instead of using your own head to simulate the battle situation."
"If I want to fight His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, then I will surrender directly. There is no way to play!"
This may sound like flattery, but it's really the truth.
When it comes to fighting, it depends on your rank.
With his own platinum level as the C position, and with the strongest kings like Li Jing and Li Ji as assistants, it would be easy to beat Jieli Khan and a diamond boy.
But if the opponent is a professional player world champion like Li Shimin, the two sides will face each other.
Then Chun Chun kills herself like a pig! There is no chance of winning at all.
"Hahaha...am I that strong?"
Li Shimin laughed and said,
"You're exaggerating, kid. Jieli isn't that weak, right?"
Xu Fenglei looked at Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, ask yourself, if you were successful at this moment, how would you feel when you see your tooth tent in Dingxiang?"
He asked seriously,
"Do you feel that your head is not a head, but a pig's head?"
Li Shimin was startled and subconsciously touched his head.
"Ha... interesting, really interesting!"
He suddenly laughed and said,
"Yes, only a pig like Jie Li would set up his headquarters in Dingxiang. Isn't this convenient for us to poke his ass in?"
"His thoughts are indeed beyond my ability to understand."
"That's all, I won't torture you anymore! As long as you have confidence in this battle, if you are really confused, just ask Li Jing more. Just let him be your adviser, and you can follow his advice."
After a pause, Li Shimin stared at Xu Fenglei again and said softly:
"Do you think... I have to mess with you when I can easily just choose Li Jing?"
"Do you know why I leave this country-destroying war to you?"
Xu Fenglei shook his head.
"I don't know." He said honestly, "Your Majesty may think that destroying the Turks is too easy, so you want to make the game more difficult; or maybe you think that I am too leisurely and uncomfortable, so you give me more tasks. Ergan."
Li Shimin glared up.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
He raised his wine glass angrily, poured a glass of wine for Xu Fenglei himself, and said seriously,
"Because you are one of our own!"
"Understand?"
"Come on, let's go!"
Xu Fenglei was slightly stunned.
own people.
These three words sound light and airy, but when they enter my heart, they are heavy.
He was even a little moved.
It is not easy to make the emperor regard himself as "one of his own"!
Ding!
The two wine glasses collided together, making a crisp sound.
Li Shimin drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said with piercing eyes:
"Listen, you have never let me down, and I believe this time will be no exception."
"I am waiting for your triumphant return!"
…
Hoo ho ho!
The north wind is howling and the snow is falling.
Compared with the violent wind and snow in Shuozhou City, the little wind and snow in Chang'an City is really a small thing and not worth showing off.
The endless accumulation of white snow turns this place into a silver city!
Crackling!
In the Shuozhou government office, several braziers worked together to emit light and heat, but they could only barely make the room less cold.
"Damn it, it was so warm in the past two years that I didn't even need to prepare winter clothes. But this year we've been hit by this big snowstorm. I think a lot of people will freeze to death..."
Yuchi Gong rubbed his hands and screamed.
The distance between him and the brazier at this moment was almost intimate!
"We can't stand it. There is no shelter on the grassland, and when the wind blows, it becomes even more unbearable, howling."
Xu Fenglei put his hand into his sleeve to cover it, and said with a slight smile,
"It's no wonder that the Turkic national power has been greatly reduced in recent years. They say that farmers rely on the sky for their livelihood, but these nomadic people really rely on the sky for their livelihood!"
"When God is angry, not only cattle, sheep and livestock, but also people will freeze to death in large areas."
"It's so hard!"
Li Jing on the side nodded.
"I originally thought that Jieli moved his dental tent to Dingxiang because he was out of his mind, but now that I think about it, it may have been a helpless move."
He said in a deep voice,
"The further north you go, the worse the climate becomes. Dingxiang is still protected by several mountains. At the same time, it can be considered as a defense against the Tang Dynasty to a certain extent."
"Perhaps in his opinion, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"Is there any news from Li Ji?"
he asked.
Uh-huh.
Li Jing took out a letter from his sleeve and responded:
"Go back to the chief manager, this is General Li Ji's military report."
"He has led more than 20,000 troops, traveling lightly and simply to the border. He can almost synchronize with our army and coordinate operations."
"Please take a look."
Xu Fenglei took the military report and glanced at it, and he already had an idea.
"Pharmacist, when I came here, Your Majesty told me to listen more to Li Jing's opinions."
He looked at the calm Li Jing in front of him and said with a smile,
"In your opinion, what should we do next?"
Swish.
Several eyes focused on Li Jing.
Several silent generals turned their attention, and even Yu Chigong stood up from the brazier and came closer.
"Go back to the Chief Manager."
Li Jing slightly cupped his hands and said in a deep voice,
"Your Majesty has set up six armies for safe operations. Among them, our center army and Li Jing's left army have the largest number of troops, with a total of 50,000 infantry and cavalry. The remaining four armies add up to 50,000."
"According to the current situation, it seems that it would be good to advance slowly..."
The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth raised slightly.
"I don't like dawdling."
He said decisively,
"What I want is to win the war quickly!"
"Surprise attack on Dingxiang, direct attack on Huanglong! What do you think?!"
Li Jing's eyes narrowed.
He probably understands the character of this coach, he is impatient and wants quick results first.
"Maybe."
Li Jing said cautiously,
"But we currently know nothing about Jieli Khan's deployment in Dingxiang, and a rash surprise attack may not be effective."
"In this case, the opportunity will be wasted."
"I think we should first send out a scout team to find out the situation in Dingxiang, and then consider whether to launch a surprise attack."
All the generals nodded.
"Hey, why does it need to be so troublesome?"
Yuchi Gong said nonchalantly,
"General Manager, give me three thousand cavalry, and I will raid Dingxiang tonight, cut off that Jieli's ear and serve it to you!"
"How's it going? Trust me, Yuchi Gong!"
Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, it's up to you!"
He said simply,
"Yu Chi Gong, I will make you a vanguard and give you five thousand light cavalry to attack Dingxiang in the snow!"
"Within three days, you must break through Jieli Ya's tent. If you can capture Jieli Khan alive, you will be credited with a great achievement!"
Li Jing: "???"
Generals: "!!!"
Isn't that right, Chief Steward?
Just like this without investigating, without touching the platoon, and just rashly sending out troops?
Li Jing was a little at a loss.
Didn't you even listen to what I just said...? !
War is not a child's play, boss!
At this moment, even Yu Chigong was slightly stunned.
He just said something casually and was ready to be scolded.
As a result... the general manager just agreed? !
Is it so careless...?
However, it is a good thing to have a war. Yuchi Gong reacted immediately, suddenly cupped his hands, and said angrily:
"The general will get the order!"
If Jieli Khan is captured alive, won't Cheng Yaojin and the others be greedy to death when they return?
"General Manager, is this too..."
Li Jing couldn't help but tried to dissuade him.
I know this person is impatient, but this is too impatient.
"Don't worry, pharmacist. I expect that Jieli Khan has a straw bag and is not very defensive."
Xu Fenglei smiled and waved his hand and said,
"Soldiers are valuable and quick. The faster we are, the greater the result will be!"
"If we wait for our scouts to figure out the situation in Dingxiang, then Jieli may be aware of it, and then the surprise attack will not be possible."
"Of course, I admit that I am gambling."
Li Jing: “@#¥%……&@!!!”
Military affairs are not gambling!
In his heart, there were ten thousand things to complain about that he didn't know how to say.
But Li Jing didn't know that Xu Fenglei had used the prophet function.
Historically, Li Jing also launched a surprise attack on Dingxiang after careful investigation. Three thousand light cavalry destroyed Jieli's base camp, and Jieli Khan fled in a hurry.
this means. Dingxiang was completely unprepared.
Since you already have accurate information in advance, why bother and waste time trying to find out?
The earlier you fight, the more fruitful the results will be!
"Pharmacist, send a military order to Li Ji immediately."
Xu Fenglei patted Li Jing's shoulder and ordered,
"Let him not stop after receiving the order, and immediately march to the direction of Yinshan Mountain and station in Baidao!"
"Guarding Bai Dao and being ready is his military mission. He is not allowed to slack off in the slightest!"
Li Jing was shocked.
Yinshan Bai said, he is too familiar with these four words.
When the emperor decided to attack the Turks, he had already deduced countless attacks and defenses in his mind.
The Baidao is the key terrain, and that road is the escape route he planned for Jieli after his defeat in the first battle!
The so-called expert will know if it is there as soon as he takes action.
When Xu Fenglei said this military order, Li Jing already understood that the chief executive in front of him was not a military novice.
It is very possible that he already has a comprehensive military plan!
And...it has a high overlap rate with my own battle plan!
It's just that the general manager's combat style is more radical...
"Pharmacist?"
Xu Fenglei looked at Li Jing with a smile but not a smile and said,
"Any questions?"
Li Jing was shouted out and finally broke free from his thoughts.
"yes!"
He cupped his hands and said,
"I'm going right now!"
