“…… Will the emperor agree that you choose the fief in the place where the birds don't? ”

Pei Min clearly didn't believe it, in his opinion, Li Xian couldn't wait to let this son-in-law be by his side every day.

"Yes, it's a big deal, every New Year, I drag my family to the palace to have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with him every New Year."

Li Ran smiled and ended the topic that was getting farther and farther away, "Have a good rest for a few days, and then, follow me out of the fortress, I asked my father-in-law for an errand to transport supplies for the expeditionary force, and by the way, serve as an envoy to negotiate with the Turks." ”

"Negotiations, don't you continue to fight?" , Pei Min was surprised.

"Well, killing is not the goal, how to strengthen your own power through killing is fundamental, now is a good opportunity to reap the benefits, otherwise after the Turks come to their senses and gather at all costs, eight thousand people and horses are not the opponent of these nomads who grew up on horseback."

Li Ran gave the answer, believing that the old man would have the same opinion after carefully reading his secret letter.

Seven days later, Luoyang's expedited fast horse really brought the reply he wanted.

"Appoint Li Ran as a recruiting envoy and adjust the strategy according to the military situation on the front line."

Very short appointees, but terrifyingly powerful...... It is equivalent to fighting or peace, and Li Ran has the final say.

"Such a lovely old man, why don't you ask me to help?"

Li Ran put away the edict, took the scepter of the representative envoy, and smiled at Pei Minwan, "Gather the guards and prepare to go out." ”

"Now? What about the supplies that are still on the way. ”

Pei Min reminded him not to wave, and to go out empty-handed.

"First borrow the supplies from Wu Qingying, and then replenish her when the imperial court arrives."

The soldiers are fast, the sooner they enter the grassland, the better, Li Ran doesn't want to delay for a day.

Pei Min had nothing to say about this operation, gathered more than 100 guards, and requisitioned dozens of migrant workers to escort materials.

Wu Qingying happily gave the materials, but only put forward one condition, two points of interest.

"Look, this is a woman, without feelings, how materialistic."

Li Ran couldn't help but smile teasingly, but he liked to see it...... The more shrewd she is, the greater the future of Wu County's development, and as a neighbor of Jiuyuan County, Li Ran likes to deal with promising smart people.

Beyond the mountains, the team of more than 200 people entered the vast grassland.

Li Ran is no stranger to the scenery outside the Saiwai, and he even had the experience of driving through the Inner Mongolia grassland.

Of course, the current uncultivated grasslands are much more rude and dangerous than those of later generations.

And the cold climate adds a lot of variables.

Fortunately, he had enough countermeasures, and the team was equipped with horses, and the legs and body of the horses were wrapped in thick cotton cloth to prevent fat loss and hair loss.

The carriage for transporting materials is also custom-made by a high-level automatic processing workshop, which is wider and thicker, and the wheels are large and lightweight, which is very suitable for long-distance travel.

The mobility was very good, and it only took two days to go deep into the hinterland of the grassland.

"Brother Ran, according to intelligence, General Wang will divide 8,000 people into zero, with 2,000 people as an army, and attack from all sides, let's join that army first?"

Pei Min is considered to be half of the army, and the problem is right to the point.

"Go here!"

Li Ran's answer was concise and to the point...... He was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and his down jacket was worn in two layers, and he didn't want to waste even a little calorie.

The location on the map he was pointing to was the location of the Turkic royal court!

“…… Brother Ran, are you crazy? ”

Pei Min looked confused, more than 200 people went to the Turkic base camp, what is the difference between this and sending them to death!

"I'm normal, why don't you tell me, where are the four troops, how can you give them supplies?"

Li Ran glanced at him, tore off his mask, and had to waste his lips and tongue to educate this startled buddy, "The military situation is changing rapidly, before I tinkered with the radio, any military intelligence has delays and timeliness, and the possibility of them being in the position provided by the previous intelligence is very small, don't forget, these soldiers are all cavalry, and in order to attack the Turkic tribes, they always have to maintain mobility." ”

Pei Min admits that what he said makes sense, but still thinks that going to the Turkic royal family is purely brain-dead.

"No matter how they attack the Turks, the ultimate target is the Turkic Khan, right, so let's wait near the Turkic royal family, and we can always bump into them."

The upgraded version of the theory of waiting for the rabbit is very feasible, and the only trouble is that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty can see them, and the Turks also have eyes.

So Li Ran has to make up for the last shortcoming of the plan...... Seek the enemy's range!

In full view of everyone, he took out a prop.

"What is this? It's similar to Xiao Guan's fairy clairvoyance. ”

Pei Min has a good memory, and he has a bit of analogical thinking, what Li Ran took out is indeed a telescope, so far, the most high-tech kind.

Military far-infrared telescopes are also equipped with night vision devices!

"Immortal artifacts, night charm eyes."

The out-of-print equipment that took 60,000 fiat currency to get your hands on, and it's simply sorry for the cost if you don't take a name that pulls the wind.

Of course, it's definitely worth the price.

"From today onwards, let's change our mode of action, find a place to rest and hide our whereabouts during the day, and rush at night."

patted Pei Min on the shoulder and smiled evilly, "I'll give you another special task...... Fly, brother, and become an eagle and soar into the sky. ”

With such a hot-blooded second line, if you were someone else, you would have already looked stupid.

However, Pei Min was not an outsider, he was instantly excited, he was entrusted with a heavy task, and his emotions were unprecedentedly high!

And then it really flew into the sky...... If a hot air balloon ride is also considered a flying.

In fact, the task assigned by Li Ran is very simple and boring, but it is absolutely important.

Under the cover of night, even the Turkic tribes that were close at hand could not find out what was flying in the sky.

However, the far-infrared telescope with night vision function can easily find the target, and the range of the enemy is dozens of times that of the opponent.

If this asymmetrical information gap can still be surrounded by Turkic dumplings, Li Ran can change his name to Li Feichief.

His luck was really not so bad, he went out day and night, and for several days he successfully avoided the Turkic tribes passing by, and successfully sneaked into the vicinity of the Turkic royal court from under the nose of the other party.

"Brother Ran, you are really a god!"

Pei Min, who created the myth with his own hands, admired Li Ran so much, he never thought that it would be so easy to sneak in secretly.

Seeing the patches of felt bags in the distance, his annoyed face was distorted.

"If we knew it would be so easy, we should have brought an elite soldier, and we would definitely be able to serve the Turkic royal family in one pot."

“…… Do you have some clue about kicking camp? ”

Li Ran gave him a blank look, and the two of them placed the team at a height five kilometers away from the royal court, so that they could peek into the surrounding movements even if they didn't have to take off the hot air balloon.

"If we bring not two hundred, but two thousand, the proportion of Turks discovering our whereabouts will increase tenfold!"

At present, the indigenous people of the Tang Dynasty are not able to do the limit of flexible intersperse, and the more people there are, the more difficult it is to command.

After all, military quality or something requires long-term training and actual combat to gain experience.

So, wait...... Calculate the time, and the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty should also come.
