Are these the drunken dreams and centuries that His Majesty first gave to the Supreme Emperor in the early years? "
Zui Meng and Centenary are treasures in themselves, and if you add the vintage, the taste will be great.
Li Ji couldn't help but drooled.
Seeing the behavior of their good friend and part-time colleague Li Ji, Li Jing and Hong Fu both smiled. Hong Fu said, "The British man has a good eye and can tell it at a glance."
Li Ji: "I feel ashamed to say it. When Your Majesty first made this batch of wine, Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor both rewarded some of them, but I, a greedy man, drank them all. I didn't expect that you still have treasures."
"We rarely had guests at the beginning, so we saved some. It would be a waste to throw it in the warehouse. I just happened to drink it today." Hong Fu put the wine bottle on the table with a smile, and stood up. Guan Datang's military affairs, it would be better for her not to participate in such an occasion.
Li Ji reached out and opened the cork of the wine, and the fragrance of high-grade liquor passed into his nostrils.
call
"What a drink~!"
"It's so delicious and makes people feel refreshed. Medicine Master, if I drank too much this time, please forgive me if I'm rude."
Seeing Li Ji's excitement, Li Jing, who had few friends, was also very happy. He smiled and nodded, "Of course Mao Gong can drink freely. No matter how rude you are, you can't compare to Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde." "
"Too"
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde were of that nature. They drank too much and fought naked in front of the imperial court. If he loses, he will never be able to run around naked on Suzaku Street in his entire life.
As the two chatted and laughed, the banquet began.
Guo Jiayu will know the movements of Li Jing and Li Ji after they go out. The two of them are now in charge of the White Knights and the other continues to be in charge of the inner guard. Guo Jia is smart and knows that he can't stand alone, so he cooperated with Jia Xu early.
It was true that the two of them were in the palace at this time. The Tang Dynasty's intelligence system was becoming more and more perfect. The two of them could also get some information from the Jin Yiwei. It could be said that they knew the world's major events without leaving home.
Of course, the two of them are still not as good as Li Mingda, a cheater. When he opens his eyes, he can tell that it is windy and rainy in Datang.
A pot of tea
stack of pastries
Guo Jia and Jia Xu were wearing ordinary clothes, holding fans in their hands, sipping tea and chatting while shaking them.
The two of them had very little contact in their previous life, but now they met and chatted with each other as if they were sympathetic to each other.
"Fengxiao, your Majesty Baiqisi has almost gathered together. This time, the Lord has summoned Li Ji and Li Jing. It should be to completely clear out the hidden dangers of the tribes in the mountainous area. There are Baiqisi in the south. The predecessor of the Xuanjia Army is stationed there. Do you want to talk to the palaces about going to the south?"
Jia Xu’s words about Jia Xu’s mature talent for planning a country may seem problematic, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, the taste is different.
Guo Jia shook his feather fan. He understood what Jia Xu meant and asked himself if he wanted to become famous, so as to pave the way for a military expedition with the army later.
"If I was following Duke Cao in the past, I might have to do something to build up my reputation and not follow Kong Ming who suddenly appeared and made Zhang Fei and many soldiers a little dissatisfied. Now the Lord's military, political and religious three-in-one I just need to follow him honestly at that time. To be honest, according to the intelligence collected now, Datang’s current military strength will not be a problem to sweep across the Western Regions. Maybe then there will be no need for military advisors like us to plan anything."
Guo Jia's words had a hint of helplessness. He had intelligence information collected from all aspects in his hands. At present, the Tang Dynasty has the highest level of sword craftsmanship in the world, and the highest number and quality of cavalry. The Tang Dynasty still had the largest population and standing military strength, as well as the greatest war potential.
If this momentum continues to develop steadily, within five years the Tang Dynasty can steadily conquer the entire Asia, and within ten years it can march across the Mediterranean and target various small European countries.
Jia Xu shook his head: "The world here is very different from ours. The news brought by the caravans from the Western Regions not long ago said that some miracles have appeared in various countries in the Western Regions. This is not true for the Tang Dynasty. A good sign.”
Squeezing the fan in his hand, Guo Jia recalled the information Jia Xu had mentioned in his mind.
"Brother Wenhe said that it is indeed inappropriate. If there are miracles, if they are allowed to develop without restrictions, they will definitely have to work hard in the future."
Jia Xu, who was listening to Guo Jia, couldn't help but sigh: What Guo Jia has, is that he is a bit like Meng Lang, who likes to go off the beaten path and make surprising moves. This kind of game between big countries will not work on its own.
"Filial piety, don't be careless. My lord can recruit you and me, but those people may not be able to recruit some similar people. Moreover, it is bloody and barbaric there, and there will be no objections to doing something outrageous. Furthermore, big countries and big countries In the game between the two, you can use swords and eccentric moves, but you cannot use it as the mastermind. Only by completely defeating the enemy in the front can you achieve real victory. What the lord wants is long-term rule, not temporary occupation. , Besides, there are also a lot of cavalry in the west."
Surprised by Jia Xu's words, cold sweat appeared on Guo Jia's forehead. His attitude just now was indeed wrong. When he and Cao Gong planned it, the territory and population were just one state compared to the current Tang Dynasty. . At that time, the success achieved by using some strange tricks seemed to be quite big, but there is indeed a difference in the pattern compared with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, which has a population of tens of millions and a combat strength of one million.
In the original calculation of combat power, most of them were considered auxiliary arms, such as the later generals at that time, Yuan Shu, the governor of Nanyang, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, and Dongjun Prefect Qiao Mao, Prefect of Shanyang Yuan Yi, Prime Minister of Jibei Bao Xin, Prefect of Beihai Kong Rong, Prefect of Guangling Zhang Chao, Prefect of Peking Gongsun Zan, Prefect of Shangdang Zhang Yang, Prefect of Changsha Sun Jian of Wucheng Hou, Prefect of Qixiang Bohai Yuan Shao, Xiaoqi The school captain Cao Cao, the governor of Xiliang Ma Teng, and the governor of Xuzhou Tao Qian led the eighteen princes to attack Dong Zhuo.
There are a total of 300,000 troops and horses, and the camp covers more than 200 miles, and the auxiliary troops and so on are even more. That was all the princes in the world, but in the end they got it to the end.
In the current war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo and Tuyuhun, the cavalry alone started at 100,000. To put it bluntly, there were 300,000 troops and more than 20,000 cavalry, including their own bodyguards. In fact, it was serious. Anything over thirty thousand is good.
At that time, Dong Zhuo had more than 50,000 cavalry from his direct line, and the number of cavalry from Lu Bu's and other miscellaneous troops was not calculated. Most of the coalition forces are infantry. After breaking through Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass, they will follow the Xiliang cavalry. There will definitely not be much left of the 300,000.
Guo Jia frowned
