Wang Xie still looked at Li Chengqian and said, "The eyebrows are not good, and it is not a person who can achieve great things." ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he laughed and said, "What good reasons can I give you, what kind of face I was talking about." ”

"Your Highness, the so-called relationship is born from the heart. That face is the result of inner refraction. THIS KIND OF PERSON WITH UNFAVORABLE EYEBROWS AND EYES FULL OF OBSCENITY IS NOT A GOOD THING IN THE EAST PALACE. Wang Xie still said with a serious face.

In the past, he just lived casually in this Tang Dynasty, living a boring and presumptuous life. He never thought to meet these famous historical figures. Truth be told, he doesn't love history.

But since he met Ah Zhi, he began to worry about Ah Zhi's situation, so he thought about it carefully, and all the historical knowledge he had learned flocked to him. In the past few days, he followed Dugu Sinan again and witnessed all the battles. He gradually understood that Ah Zi's idea was to train Li Chengqian into an excellent prince, support him to ascend to the throne, and become a great Tang Dynasty emperor. And Li Ke is low-key and low-key, and it is best to go to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to fiddle with hybrid rice or something. Then, Li Ke, who has no edge, will spend his life peacefully.

To be honest, after he first understood Ah Zi's train of thought, he immediately felt that the captain was really brainy, and he could come up with such a curved idea to save the country. If it is replaced by him, I am afraid that it will be a god who blocks and kills the gods and Buddhas, and directly lets Li Ke ascend to the throne of the king of God, and if anyone is still unconvinced, he will continue to kill him.

However, compared the two, he still felt that Ah Zi's thinking was more interesting.

So, since you want to protect her, you can also do your part.

By the way, who participated in Li Chengqian's rebellion in the first place?

He thought to himself, and only thought of Du He and Helan Chushi. However, it seems that Duhe is still studying hard at home behind closed doors. Then, he saw Helan Chushi the first two times, and he didn't know if it was preconceived, he always felt that Helan Chushi was a very villain and very obscene. So, he wondered if he should do something. So, that's it.

"So?" Li Chengqian looked at Dugu Sinan and asked with his eyes.

Dugu Sinan frowned and said, "That being said, I haven't paid attention to this Helan Chushi, so it's hard to judge." ”

Li Chengqian was silent thoughtfully for a while before he said to Dugu Sinan: "Although Helan Chushi is a small commander of the East Palace, behind him is Hou Junji, even if it is really as Wang Xie said, I am afraid that this matter will have to be discussed in the long run." ”

"Such a trivial matter, the prince doesn't have to take it to heart. Instead, it's a teacher sent by the emperor, you have to say hello. There is no shortage of great Confucian sages among them. The prince should not only humbly ask for advice, study hard, and ask the virtuous people. If you think what they say is very good, write it down, but if you think that the person is talking nonsense, you will secretly curse in your heart, and you will scold as much as you like, and then, when he is finished, he will say with a smile, 'I have been taught,' and send them away, and he will be in a good mood. Dugu Sinan cleverly changed the topic.

"Sir, this method is novel, try it next time. Ha ha. Li Chengqian was very happy, and then said goodbye early in the morning.

After Li Chengqian left, Dugu Sinan said to Wang Xie very seriously: "In the future, don't be reckless in such things. ”

Wang Xie lowered his eyes and said slowly, "Ah Zi has been gone for seven days. ”

"Six days and seven hours. Chai Lingwu interjected.

Wang Xie glared at him fiercely, and Dugu Sinan was also silent. Then, Chai Lingwu also sighed, and the three men looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them, and their mood was not good.

"Ah Zhi and Li Ke are both human spirits, you look at their deployments, they are interlocking. Presumably, they also have a foolproof plan for going out this time, and they must have a deployment. After a long while, Chai Lingwu was the first to break the silence.

"Maybe. Wang Xie replied coldly.

"Ah Wu, your father should be in Xiazhou at the moment, be ready for battle, right?" Dugu Sinan suddenly asked. He remembered that the people who attacked Liang Shidu in history were Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun.

"This, military secrets. Chai Lingwu was a little embarrassed.

"I wanted you to ask your father to repair the book, but forget it, let's wait. Dugu Sinan sighed, feeling more and more uneasy.

Chai Lingwu was very sorry, sighed for a long time, and then drank a glass of wine in distraught, and said to himself unhappily: "It's really a wretch, except waiting, I really don't know what to do." ”

In addition to waiting, or waiting.

This is what Chai Shao of Xiazhou has to do. He reads books every day, observes the surrounding terrain, records the weather, phenology, and plants of Xiazhou, and visits the customs of Xiazhou.

Such a general made Xue Wanjun puzzled, and even asked angrily: "Grandpa Guo, forgive me for being rude, are you here to fight?"

"Of course. Chai Shao replied.

"Then why are you stationed in the army for a long time and don't do anything? instead, you play in the mountains and rivers?" Xue Wanjun is an anxious person.

Chai Shao glanced at him and said, "Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, this is the common sense of the soldiers, General Xue doesn't understand?"

Xue Wanjun was completely speechless, only silently retreated to the side, watching Chai Shao gesturing on the sand table, he was very unconvinced, suspecting that this Chai Shao was really as brave as the legend, and used soldiers like a god?

Xue Wanjun stood aside and doubted, Chai Shao ignored him completely, and only carefully checked the sand table and made various modifications. After about a quarter of an hour, Xue Wanjun felt that it was not a problem to stand like this, so he took the lead in breaking the silence and talking with Chai Shaopan: "Grandpa Guo, our troops are here, I'm afraid we are not here to fight, right?"

Chai Shao raised his head to look at him, and felt that this person was extremely brave, but he was young in the end.

"What do you mean?" asked Chai Shao.

"Yesterday, the King of Shu and his entourage have crossed the capital of Liang Shidu and successfully arrived at the Turks. I think we are here, in fact, just to deter Liang Shidu and the Turks, and the main purpose is actually to protect the King of Shu, right?" Xue Wanjun made a bold guess.

Chai Shao glanced at him and said nonchalantly: "The arrangement of the imperial court, everything can be done according to orders." ”

Xue Wanjun was very disappointed, and smiled awkwardly: "Grandpa Guo, I am your deputy general pioneer this time, you are so tight with me, you shouldn't be." ”

"Major General, I'll tell you the truth. Chai Shao said calmly, then looked at the copper kettle on the table, and calculated that the time should be almost up. Sure enough, a moment later, Chai Xun ran in with the sunset and shouted, "General, there is a situation." ”

Chai Shao stood up suddenly, and even Xue Wanjun, who was embarrassed on the side, was in good spirits.

"What's the situation?" Xue Wanjun hurriedly asked.

The panting Chai Xun picked up the cold tea on the table and took a big sip before saying, "The spies in front came to report, and Tuli was defeated." ”

Chai Shao showed a smile on his face and said: "Jieli has been fighting endlessly, and he has paid a lot of taxes to other tribes, and this time he sent Tuli to attack Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui, his motive is not pure. This battle is a doomed ending, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. ”

"Grandpa Guo is waiting for the results of the battle in Tuli?" Xue Wanjun asked suspiciously.

Chai Shao nodded and said, "Yes." Soldiers, it is necessary to control the overall situation and find the best fighters. "The iron wall is impregnable, and the powerful Turks who work together, we will only lose both sides if we confront them. However, if there is internal decay and contradictions, we will take advantage of the opportunity to rise up, and we will surely achieve the greatest victory with the least casualties. ”

"I see. Previously, it was the last general who did not know what was going on, and there were many offenses. Xue Wanjun arched his hand.

Chai Shao said slowly: "As generals, as soldiers, we can't talk about war easily, we must fight, we should strive to minimize casualties and achieve the greatest victory." Anyone's life is life, although those soldiers, you may not remember his face and know his name. But they are all sons and fathers. ”

As a general, Xue Wanjun has always thought about winning battles and making meritorious contributions. He had never delved into such a question in detail, and when he heard this time, he immediately felt ashamed: "Grandpa Guo, the last general has been taught, and he must remember it." ”

"Just remember. When we talk about war, we have to fight. But we must not forget that the purpose of war is not to fight, but to protect our country and people. Chai Shao said slowly, but he thought in his heart that when he first led the troops, Xiuning said this to him. Then, he and Xiuning also treated their soldiers like this, and the army of the Chai clan loved him and Xiuning the most, and they must go all out in every battle.

Xue Wanjun was greatly shocked and said again and again that he had been taught.

Chai Shao didn't pay any more attention, but continued to ask Chai Xun: "Is the King of Shu okay?"

"Returning to the general, the envoy to the Turks went all the way to the Turkic court. The spies came to report, the two sides were very friendly, and the king of Shu also compared riding archery and swordsmanship with the second prince of Turkic. The King of Shu is slightly better. Chai Xun couldn't help but look proud.

Chai Shao was also happy, and said: "This second son of Jieli is his pride, and it is said that he is the first warrior of the Turks, and he is especially good at riding and shooting. The king of Shu is powerful, narrowly defeated, and he did it to the detriment. ”

"Yes. It is said that the two princes killed two birds with one stone. Chai Xun said unhurriedly.

"Killing two birds with one stone, only Changsun Sheng could do it back then. Chai Shao sighed.

"The King of Shu kills three birds with one stone. Chai Xun was still in an unhurried tone.

Xue Wanjun applauded in surprise, Chai Shao was also stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Can you really do it?"

"What our people said when they came back can't be wrong. Chai Xun couldn't hold back his excitement.

"Good, good. This kid is interesting enough, he didn't lose our Datang's face. Chai Shao was very excited and walked around in the Chinese military tent.

Chai Xun stood for a moment, waited for Chai Shao to calm down, and then said: "General, the king of Shu ordered someone to bring a message, and that person is outside the military tent." ”

"King Shu?" Chai Shao was surprised.

"The person who came held the secret seal letter and handwritten letter of the King of Shu. The last general is afraid of deception, and people are on guard. Chai Xun replied.

Chai Shao asked people to come in. The person who came was a man in his twenties, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a calm look.

"Meet Grandpa Guo. The person who came said calmly, and then bowed and presented the seal letter of the King of Shu in his hand and his handwritten letter.

"General, we have seen this seal a few times before, so I brought him here. Chai Xun explained.

Chai Shao had already seen the seal. Before, he was stationed in Longyou Dao, and he had a hard fight with Tuyuhun, and he almost caught the road a few times, that is, someone sent information with this secret seal. It's just that the messenger at that time was an ordinary-looking teenager named "Crescent Moon".

"Once upon a time, it was all crescent moons. Why did you change people this time?" Chai Shao asked.

"Returning to the country's grandfather, the crescent moon has other tasks, and today is a big deal, so the firmament is here in person. The man remained calm.

Chai Shao was taken aback and asked, "You are the firmament." ”

"It's the subordinates. The firmament replied slowly.

Chai Shao took the seal letter and checked the authenticity, and opened the letter again. Sure enough, it was a commodity Qingjiang white paper, slightly touched in the lower right corner, there was a slight roughness, there was a small word: purple.

In the past, in the army, General Ah Nian used this kind of letter paper for all his correspondence. Later, he accepted Yang Minzhi as his righteous daughter, and the king of Shu did not hide it, saying that he was Ah Nian.

Chai Shao carefully read the letter, looked at the firmament, and asked, "What does King Shu mean by this?"

"Let the grandfather of the country march twenty miles with his troops, and the soldiers will come to Shuofang City, and then wait for a few days to deter Liang Shidu. As soon as the Turkic situation is reversed, Shuofang City will have a peony fireworks as a signal, and the grandfather of the country can attack the city. The firmament said.

"Hmph, how can we believe you? These 100,000 troops will be handed over to you?" Xue Wanjun snorted coldly.

Chai Shao glanced at him, ignored it, and only said to the firmament: "I will cooperate with the King of Shu, but I don't know how many days I want to garrison Shuofang City?"

"What the king of my family Shu said, he will be able to do a lot in less than three days. As for General Hou's immobility and deterrence of the Turks, it is a good policy. The firmament replied.

"Then please stay in this Chinese military tent for three days. Chai Shao smiled.

The firmament smiled and agreed very simply.

"Forgive me. After all, my soldiers are also human lives. Chai Shao explained.

"Su Wenguo's grandfather loves soldiers like sons, and the king of Shu has long known it, and he never thought that his subordinates would return. The firmament smiled.

"Then I will be wronged Your Excellency, and let you stay in this Chinese military tent with me. Chai Shao said with a smile.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey. The firmament was still smiling, and then walked to the sand table and discussed the route and deployment with Chai Shao. Xue Wanjun was stunned and muttered to himself: I am the pioneer appointed by His Majesty. What is the rhythm of this?

That night, after Chai Shao's army had dinner, he cleaned up and quietly moved forward, setting up camp thirty miles outside Shuofang City. On the second day, when the red sun was rising, the border guards of Liang Shidu suddenly discovered that there was a large army stationed in the light fog, and it was estimated that there were 100,000 troops.

The patrol guard was shocked and hurriedly reported to Liang Shidu. Liang Shidu personally climbed the tower to observe the enemy's situation, only to see that the army was in good order, stationed at the border, and the two flags waving in the wind, one was the military flag of the Tang Dynasty, and the other had only one word "Chai" on it.

"It's Chai Shao. Liang Shidu sighed, his heart and eyebrows furrowed.

He panicked. Throughout his life, although he was a general of Yingyang Zhonglang in the Sui Dynasty, he had not actually fought against a general of Chai Shao's level. The only few expeditions that Datang made against him were also not very well-known local guards. And at that time, there were Turks behind him, so he was not defeated. The few times he attacked alone, he was defeated.

Li Shimin actually sent Chai Shao. The person next to him is Liang Shidu's second son.

"More than that. Liang Shidu said in a lonely tone, "The day before yesterday, the spies came to report, and the 50,000 horses led by Hou Junji were stationed in the mountain col fifty miles southeast of Shuofang City. ”

The second son of Liang Shidu was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and it took a long time to ask his father, who had been looking at the distance, "Then, do we ask the Turks for help?" ”

Liang Shidu sighed and said, "Take one step at a time, go back." ”
