In this era, as long as there is food, no difficulty is any difficulty.

The land is back, the food is also available, the next thing to do is to die down and silently develop the people's livelihood for a while, this is not to retreat, nor is it not that you don't want to take advantage of the victory to pursue......

Whenever the fist is clenched, it is not necessary to hit it immediately, save more strength, the hit will hurt more, if you can see the right time, you can beat people to death at once.

Gu Tianya understands this truth, and presumably the Miyun Sun clan also understands it, so the Miyun Sun clan sent Sun Qi to show goodwill, and Gu Tianya happened to choose to plan the plan.

Gujia Village began to get busy.

Although it used to be just a small mountain village, it is no longer ordinary, because it has the participation of Princess Pingyang, so it always attracts the attention of people who care......

……

Guanzhong, Luoyang, Tiance Mansion.

In the evening of this day, a horse came in the dust, the galloping horse was extremely fast, splashing countless snow, and the rider quickly arrived at the Tiance Mansion, and entered the mansion after passing the message.

This came from the Northland, bringing back the latest news, although there are birds in this era, but after all, letters cannot write everything about everything, so some important things still need messengers, responsible for the most detailed delivery of all kinds of news.

During these days, such messengers have often returned from the Northland.

At this time, in the Tiance Mansion, Li Shimin and a group of officials were waiting, the knight was carrying a red feather, and he could directly enter the hall, he came to bring back two stacks of military newspapers, and a thick secret letter was hidden in his arms......

The two stacks of military newspapers belong to the border, and the thick secret letter comes from Gujia Village.

The world's major affairs, state affairs first, so the people of Tiance Mansion did not hesitate, first circulated two stacks of border military newspapers, and after reading them, everyone was puzzled.

But seeing Li Shimin's brows furrowed slightly, he was slightly puzzled: "Xiuning, what does she mean?" Why deliberately attract the Turks? ”

Before he finished speaking, Du Ruhui's voice sounded next to him, and he seemed to be equally puzzled: "Since ancient times, the matter of swords and soldiers is really the murder of water and fire, even if you have full certainty, the matter of war can still be avoided, princess, since she has discovered the Miyun Sun clan's fornication in the grassland, she should intercept and snipe all the messengers of the two teams, why do you have to catch one team and release the other, isn't this deliberately letting that team enter the grassland?" ”

The implication is self-evident, it means that Li Xiuning deliberately wanted to make the Turks raise troops.

This is clearly unreasonable.

Now that the Turks are strong, the new construction of the Tang Dynasty is not stable, and the defense of the border land is too late, how can they rush to want the Turks to attack?

Everyone felt unbelievable, and couldn't figure out what Li Xiuning's purpose was.

Li Shimin suddenly looked at the messenger and asked in a deep voice: "You are from the north, you must know the inside story in detail, and you should tell me carefully, what is the secret in this?" ”

"Back to His Highness, but there is a secret!"

I saw the messenger nod respectfully, and then slowly spit out a word from his mouth, and said with admiration: "Cow! ”

"Cow?"

Everyone was stunned.

But seeing that Li Shimin seemed to have figured out something, a fine light suddenly flashed in his eyes, he suddenly stood up, and blurted out: "This king understands, Xiuning is eyeing the Turkic cattle." ”

Du Ruhui followed closely, and suddenly realized: "The minister also figured it out, this plan is really sharp, when the Turks invaded in the winter, every time there were auxiliaries to drive the bullock to transport the looted grain, at that time the Central Plains was weak, and it could only be slaughtered, even if there were 200,000 women's troops stationed in the north, but they could only barely ensure that the land was not invaded, in addition to barely holding the land, the others were powerless, and they could only watch them run rampant for the Turkic cavalry to ravage and plunder, but this time it was different, Because there are tens of thousands of troops in our Tiance Mansion on the border......"

After tens of thousands of more troops, the battle situation has become calculated and unintentional, if the Turks really go south, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat this time.

The grasslands are all cavalry, paying attention to coming and going like the wind, once the war fails, they can only rush back, but their auxiliaries can't come and go like the wind, and those grassland rhinos will inevitably be left behind by the women's army.

This is to make war money!

Du Ruhui couldn't help but open his mouth to praise, and gave a thumbs up and said: "The princess's plan is really sharp, it seems that some soldiers are dangerous, but in fact, it is a chestnut in the fire, if it is according to the minister's calculation, there is a ninety percent chance of winning in this matter, once the strategy is successful, it is hundreds of thousands of cattle......"

Hundreds or thousands of cattle?

In the entire council hall, a sound of swallowing saliva suddenly sounded.

Li Shimin was obviously a little excited, and couldn't help but say: "The reason why this matter can be done is because this king's Tiance army is rushing to the north, if it is done, won't Tiance Mansion be able to share half of the cattle?" Xiuning is really good, this plan is very exquisite......"

The messenger suddenly spoke, and cautiously reminded: "Back to Your Highness, this is not the princess's plan, this plan is from Gu Tianya, and he wants to take the opportunity to make a profit." It was precisely because Her Royal Highness listened to his analysis that she made up her mind to set her sights on the Turkic cattle. ”

"Gu Tianya?"

Everyone in the room was stunned again.

Li Shimin seemed to 'dislike' Gu Tianya's name very much, and suddenly snorted: "It's just a poor boy, how can he be so smart?" This plan must have been painstakingly set up by the king's sister-in-law, but in order to hide it from everyone, she pretended to take care of the world. Don't talk nonsense, this king doesn't like to hear ......"

This is a bit unreasonable.

From ancient times to the present, it seems that the eldest brother is the same, always looking at his brother-in-law unpleasantly, and always feeling that he has arched his own cabbage.

The messenger looked helpless, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Your Highness is right." ”

Li Shimin snorted again, and for some reason seemed to be a little angry, and scolded: "Look at you people, what have you all become?" Over the past period of time, a total of twenty messengers have returned from the Tiance Mansion, but almost everyone is talking nonsense, and they all praised that kid to the sky, this king really wants to ask you, have your brains been kicked by donkeys? ”

The messenger shrank his head and said again and again: "Yes, yes, Your Highness reprimanded that your subordinates will not dare in the future, and your subordinates will never dare again in the future." ”

Although he said forgiveness, he suddenly muttered again, and said with a tangled face: "But Gu Tianya is really powerful!" "This thing is obviously a straight intestine, and he has something to say in his heart.

"Huh??"

How could Li Shimin not hear the messenger's broken thoughts?

Li Shimin laughed suddenly, and said to the messenger: "Looking at you like this, obviously dissatisfied, okay, this king will give you a chance, this king wants to hear it, what is so strange about that Gu Tianya, why are all you messengers faint, and when you mention him, your eyes will light up?" Tell me that I will give it to the king, and to all my comrades present......"

When the messenger heard that he was allowed to make a report, he suddenly became excited, and his eyes really began to glow, and he opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, Gu Tianya is amazing." ”

Li Shimin snorted, turned his head and rolled his eyes quietly, lowered his voice and muttered, as if he was very unhappy: "Nonsense, isn't it powerful to coax this king's sister?" ”

After complaining about his displeasure, he turned his head to look at the messenger again, and his face pretended to be calm, as if he didn't care about Gu Tianya's affairs at all, and just asked lightly: "Then tell me, what is so powerful about him?" ”

"First of all, it's scrap iron!" The messenger blurted out, his face full of adoration.

However, everyone present was stunned, looking at each other and wondering, and said with a stunned face: "Collect scrap iron? ”

"Yes, yes, it's scrap iron!"

I saw that the messenger was very excited, and said impatiently: "Now the entire Gujia Village has known about the collection of scrap iron, and there are mainly eight villages doing this, no matter whether the old and the young, women and children go out early or go home late every day, they go through the villages and alleys, and continue to collect scrap iron......

After a pause, he continued: "If anyone has a dilapidated iron pot, it is so rotten that it can't be repaired and reused, so accept it; If there is a discarded farm tool that has rotted and rusted to the point that it can no longer be used, it will also be collected; In addition, Hebei Province is a place of long-term war, and there are old battlefield sites that have been fought everywhere, as long as you carefully dig through the snow and soil layers, you will often find rusty arrows and broken knives, these are all treasures, and they can also be picked up and sold. ”

The more the messenger spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, even your subordinates have made a small fortune, and since these days, your subordinates have dug up a lot of battlefield legacy, and after getting it to Gujia Village, the princess has converted a lot of rewards......

As he spoke, he suddenly reached into his arms, took out a carefully placed note, and then looked at Li Shimin with his eyes blank and said, "Your Highness, look, this is a white note that the princess gave me, and the princess asked me to take this note and ask you to receive the corresponding money." ”

Li Shimin was stunned, and his face twitched unconsciously.

After a long time, he said with a strange face, and said with a smile: "You help them do things, but you come to me to receive the reward?" ”

The messenger twisted slightly, and said with a simple face: "The princess told us that she is different from before, she used to be extravagant, but in the future, she has to be diligent and thrifty, and if she can make a pit, she will pit a pen, and the princess She also said, you are her second brother, you love face, so it is best to pit ......"

Li Shimin was dumbfounded, only to feel a burst of blockage in his chest.

After a long time, he took a breath and tried to persuade himself: "This is my sister, this is my sister." ”

He persuaded himself for a long time, barely calmed down the depression in his heart, and then looked at the messenger again, gritted his teeth and asked: "Say, what the hell is going on, why do you want to collect scrap iron, there must be something strange in this." ”

Without hesitation, the messenger blurted out: "Return to Your Highness, melt iron and make steel." ”

When he said this, his face was full of adoration.

However, everyone present was confused, and Li Shimin was also confused.

Molten iron to make steel?

What is this vocabulary?
