Chapter 107: Signs of a Counteroffensive Emerge
The victory of countering Luo Yi's rebellion greatly boosted the morale of the Tang Dynasty army! At the same time, Li Shimin once again realized the importance of talent and population, and also gave him strong self-confidence in counterattacking the Turks!
During this time, Li Shimin is about to start getting busy, because it is snowing in Chang'an......
After leaving the court, Li Shimin left the officials of the court to eat as usual! At this time, the snowflakes outside the house ...... The snow fell one by one, and after a while, it turned into a big snowflake falling from the sky!
"It's snowing......"
I don't know who said it, and everyone looked outside the house...... Fang Xuanling looked at Xuehua and said, "Such a heavy snow, blessing and curse!" ”
When Cheng Yanjin heard Fang Xuanling say this, he was immediately puzzled! Hurriedly said: "Hey! How is it a curse? Aren't you usually all boasting about snow? Doesn't this snow mean a good harvest next year......"
"Hahaha......"
Du Ruhui said with a smile: "General Cheng doesn't know, this snowflake is so big, it's really rare!" It will be counterproductive to next year's grain harvest! ”
"Since the snow is not good, why does the prime minister say that the snow is good?" Cheng Yanjin asked puzzled. He really didn't understand, since the heavy snow was not good for the crops, why did Fang Xuanling still say yes!
Li Shimin stood in the middle and did not speak! Just quietly listening to the conversation between the two! Fang Xuanling shook his head and muttered, "General Cheng...... What is the most disadvantageous for this snowfall? ”
"What's the worst for that?"
Cheng Yanjin was stunned for a moment, thinking that the snow is so big, next year's grain harvest may not be good! It must be the most unfavorable to the people!
Fang Xuanling looked at his expression and knew what he was thinking! said with a smile: "Although it is not good for the people, but ...... The people have sweet potatoes made from horses! So I can still eat enough! ”
After finishing speaking, Du Ruhui interjected and said, "General Cheng might as well think about it from a distance!" ”
Frowning, scratching your head! Cheng Yanjin muttered: "...... in the distance" Suddenly, as if Cheng Yanjin thought of something, his eyes were very big, and he said loudly: "Turkic!? ”
"Not bad!"
After Li Shimin finished speaking, all the ministers looked at Li Shimin silently! Li Shimin said: "Winter days...... Especially in the winter when it is snowing so heavily! The Turks must be having a hard time! ”
"Doesn't that mean ......?"
Cheng Yanjin only felt a shock all over his body, thinking that this is going to be a battle! Isn't it just a rare opportunity for such a good opportunity?
"You can't say the same, marching and fighting, it's all about food and people!" After Du Ruhui finished speaking, he muttered again: "Although...... This snow seems to be quite heavy, I don't know how much it can fall? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Today is different from the past, even if the snow is not big now!" We can still win! ”
"Oh?!" Gao Shilian asked puzzledly: "Why?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "To say that it was indeed inconvenient to fight with the Turks in the past!" But today...... We have the secret weapon of the bomb, how can we be invincible? ”
"This ......"
All the ministers were slightly stunned, what the eldest grandson Wuji said was not false at all! Now that we have a bomb in the DPRK, what are you afraid of the Turks?
"Although there is this bomb, but ...... The minister still thinks that it should be more proper, first, this bomb is lit with fire! In case the bomb can't be ignited because of heavy snow, wouldn't that break the sharp momentum of my Datang? ”
The person who said this was none other than Hou Junji! Hou Junji saw that everyone was deep in thought, and hurriedly said: "The second is whether this Turk has left a backup move, once our soldiers go to attack the Turks, in case the bomb cannot be ignited...... When the Turks have a back-up move......"
Everyone nodded and unanimously agreed with Hou Junji's words! Fang Xuanling said: "That's right! Right now...... It depends on how long and how deep the snow will be......"

Turkic
Jieli Khan stood outside the tent at this time, looking at the snow! I was shocked and melancholy, every winter is not good! And this year's winter came so early!
"Khan! Now there is enough food to last the whole winter! ”
A smile finally appeared on his face, and he looked up into the distance...... That's the Central Plains! He never let himself forget to enter the Central Plains! Only by entering the Central Plains can we solve this dilemma! Only by entering the Central Plains can the race reproduce well......
For some reason, Jieli suddenly remembered Tuli! Then he muttered, "Tuli...... Did you find it? ”
"Please forgive the Khan! The minister has been sending people to look for it, but unfortunately, he didn't find it! ”
Jieli nodded and said, "Hmm! I'm sending some people to the Turks to see if it's in Xue Yantuo's place! If it's in Xue Yantuo's place...... Capture him for Ben Khan......"
"Yes!!"
……
Luoyang
"Hey! Buy steamed buns! "Selling straw sandals......"
There are still quite a lot of early collectors in Luoyang! There are few shops and small stalls! At this time, Li Ke was in the middle of this group of people......
Li Ke is wearing a white robe today and holding a bamboo fan! There's a small table in front of you! There were some drinks on the table......
The people who came and went stopped to watch and talked! Some people say it's expensive, and some people taste a small sip of liquor! He shouted that this wine was cheap, and if he didn't buy it, he would live in vain...... After a while, more and more people stayed next to Li Ke's stall, surrounding it inside!
An old man with a rosacea nose slipped through the crowd, leaned down next to the table, and took a deep breath! Then he asked excitedly: "Xiao Langjun!" What kind of wine is this? How is it so peculiar? ”
"This wine is taken from the holy water of Yaochi, and it has gone through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties...... Forehead...... Eighty-one days, brewed! It was originally a gift to the Queen Mother's Peach Conference, but now the Queen Mother's Peach Conference has ended, and these are the wines that remained!
Let's look at ......" After Li Ke finished speaking, he patted the wine bottle with the bamboo fan in his hand and said, "This transparent glass...... Forehead...... The bottle is not ordinary!! Is this the ...... Taishang Laojun Cundan's bottle! This bottle has been nurtured by Lao Jun's elixir and blessed with holy water, prolonging life and the like, no problem......"
Not to mention, Li Ke's ability to fool is really not covered! This is not! Immediately someone asked about the price of the wine, and this man was the old man with a rosacea......
The old man squinted, rubbed his hands, looked at the wine with a look of eagerness, and looked at Li Ke twice before, but now he didn't even raise his head, he looked directly at the wine and said, "Xiao Langjun!" How much silver is this wine? ”
"Hey! That's a good question! So how much silver is this wine so good? After Li Ke finished speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "I'll give 10 taels of silver!" ”
"I'm out 15 taels!!" , "20 taels ......"
"You're here to fight, aren't you?"
"Come on! Whoever is afraid of you is a grandson!! ”
Li Ke shouted loudly: "Calm down! Calm down! After seeing that the two of them calmed down their anger, Li Ke said with a smile: "First of all, thank you two for giving me face!" Secondly, the original price of this wine is 50 taels of silver!! ”
"Ahh "What?!" "Crazy......"
As soon as Li Ke's words went out, it immediately caused a strong reaction and dissatisfaction among the crowd, and they all accused Li Ke......
The two people in the crowd who had just quarreled also spoke, and one of them said, "As long as the wine is good, it doesn't matter how much money it is!" If you can't afford it, don't buy it! I'll buy ...... anyway."
And the other said, "You're afraid you're with him, aren't you?" As soon as these words came out, another wave was immediately set off in the crowd! Everyone began to talk about it, for fear that they would be fooled......
"Hey! Listen to me, everybody! This wine is indeed brewed by the fairy family, and Tong Su is not deceived! You can't buy it and suffer a loss, you can't buy it...... you can't be fooled" Before Li Ke finished speaking, the man who said that others were with Li Ke squeezed in front of Li Ke and said, "I don't believe it!" ”
This man looks quite ordinary, with a public face! But the figure is burly and tall!
"The things of the immortal family, how can you say that you don't believe it?" After Li Ke finished speaking, he said, "But...... Dare to ask my brother's name? ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The big name doesn't dare to be!" My name is Xing Xiao! After the man finished speaking, Li Ke said with a smile: "Mr. Xing! So what can you do to convince you? ”
"Unless...... Let me taste a ......" After Xing Xiao finished speaking, the man who was bidding with him suddenly shouted: "Bah! Shameless thing! What the hell ......?"
Everyone was also embarrassed for a while, they thought he was a good person, but they didn't expect it to be a good thing!
Xing Xiao's face was a little red, and he also felt a little panicked, but ...... I've said all this, can I take it back? So he stubbornly said, "How is it?" Do you dare? ”
"Dude! I have to say you...... Cowhide ...... "Li Ke gave him a thumbs up to show his appreciation!" Then he said loudly: "Dare! Why don't you dare? ”
After Li Ke finished speaking, the rosacea old man beside him said embarrassedly: "That...... I ......" Before the old man finished speaking, Xing Xiao suddenly shouted: "Lao Tzu hasn't drunk it yet!" You shut up! ”
You can't blame Xing Xiao for being angry, people are cheeky and white-eyed before they come to try a sip! How can you endure others to suffer your own yin grace?
"Hey...... hey" The old man smiled awkwardly, not saying much! This little episode did not affect Li Ke's operation! I saw him lift the cap of the wine bottle and pour some wine into the lid! Then he fanned the wine with the fan in his hand, and the aroma of wine suddenly filled the air......
The crowd is like a tiger, and the wine is like a lamb! Their throats swelled, staring at the lid of the little bottle......
In the expectant and angry eyes of everyone, Li Ke carefully handed over the wine bottle cap to Xing Xiao's hands! The rosacea-nosed old man, his eyes are bloodshot, his tongue licks his lips, and he swallows his saliva vigorously!
Suddenly, the old man's mouth opened wide...... Because Xing Xiao poured the wine in his mouth! Everyone was silent, staring at the ...... silently
"Shhh...... Whew~" Xing Xiao let out a breath, and everyone looked at him nervously......
