"A plow is a tool that can transport supplies in the snow, just like a sled!" Li Dongsheng explained.

"What is a sled?" People still don't understand.

Li Dongsheng looked at these uninformed people, and knew that it was useless to explain: "You guys continue to discuss things here, I'll go to the craftsman camp, and I'll just make it for you to see when the time comes!" ”

Li Dongsheng came out of the tent, and the snow on the road in the barracks was shoveled clean, but it was trampled by people, horses, mules and donkeys, and the road was very muddy.

Li Dongsheng found a horse and took Daniel Zhang and them to the artisan camp, found the camp master, told them his requirements, and when he heard that it was a matter that His Majesty personally paid attention to, the chief immediately summoned all the people, everyone worked together, performed their duties, and quickly took out samples.

Li Dongsheng returned to the Shuai tent with the sample, and when Li Shimin came out with a group of civil and military ministers, he saw Li Dongsheng standing on the side of the road looking at a horse pulling a strange car, Li Shimin exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? This car has no wheels, but it runs so fast on the snow? ”

Li Ji also said: "Looking at the speed of the horse, the horse pulling the cart doesn't seem to be effortless!" ”

Li Dongsheng stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, please look, this is what I said about climbing the plow!" ”

Li Shimin immediately went to the front to take a closer look, and found that this thing was actually very simple, that is, a wooden shelf, with two smooth planks underneath, following the snow contact, and the other end was pulled to the horse with a rope, so that the horse could slide on the snow when dragged.

"You kid don't know how to grow his brain? Yes, it's a good thing, with this snow transportation is guaranteed, order the craftsman battalion to build it with all its might, and arrange craftsmen from surrounding states and counties to also help build it. "Due to the huge amount of materials to be transported, I am afraid that the military aircraft will be delayed. It is necessary to get the local government to cooperate with the army. Li Shimin looked at Li Dongsheng and said, "It's right to bring you out." You see that if you have a problem, you can help solve it, and you will be credited first! ”

It is definitely better to be able to make meritorious service than to have no merit, Li Dongsheng bowed and thanked him. Li Shimin suddenly became interested when he looked at the climbing plow, pulled Li Ji to sit on the climbing plow in person, and then prepared to let the horse run around them on the snow. The frightened Wang De knelt in the snow and snorted and cried to dissuade him, and those civil officials also shouted to the sky, as if the sky was about to fall. Seeing that everyone was disagreeing, Li Shimin had no choice but to dismiss the idea, but when he saw Cheng Yanjin screaming and galloping in the snow on the climbing plow, his eyes were full of jealousy.

It was already the beginning of the first month, at this time Liaodong was still a land of ice and snow, Li Dongsheng stood in front of the big camp, seeing that the soldiers in the surrounding camps were packing up their things and preparing to pull out the camp, and from time to time on the road saw a team of soldiers going north, but they were all described as haggard, and everyone was not happy to clean up after coming out for so many days, anyway, everyone was bearded, and the hair was knotted if it was oily.

"Dongsheng, when do you think we will be able to go to the front?" Li Siwen looked at the soldiers on the march and said enviously: "As an escort force, we just watch others make meritorious contributions, alas,,,,,"

"You only saw the thief eating meat, but you didn't see the thief being beaten." Li Dongsheng smiled: "Do you think Goguryeo is so easy to fight? If it was good to fight, the Sui Dynasty would not have perished because of Goguryeo. You, as the son of a prince, are waiting for you. ”

"Didn't you say that Goguryeo's strength has dropped dramatically now? After being harassed by those volunteers for more than a year, there should be no challenge. Li Siwen said: "The guy in front can take advantage." ”

Not only Li Siwen felt that this battle must be safe, but everyone from Li Shimin to the soldiers below was optimistic about this war. Li Dongsheng felt that this emotion was wrong, and he wanted to pour some cold water on them: "You must not be careless, although the Goguryeo Kingdom is small, their people have been strong and aggressive since ancient times, as long as they do it, they will be stalked, regardless of their own lives." Our two armies are facing each other, and they all report their mortal intentions, you can imagine how difficult it must be? Even if it's one-on-one, we can't take much advantage. ”

Li Siwen nodded: "Yes, I heard those old soldiers say that this is it, they all don't want to die, anyway, they will pull you with them if they want to die." ”

"The second is the terrain of Goguryeo, where the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the roads are not smooth, and the food and grass logistics of our army are a big problem, if the Goguryeo people don't fight you head-on, and get into the forest, and sneak attack you out of nowhere, what will you do? All our cavalry is gone, and they drag us to death even if they do. For us, the siege is not a problem, the problem is how to find the main force of the Goguryeo people and destroy them all. Thinking that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was not a stupid emperor back then, why did he lose three times in a row in Goguryeo, this question is worth pondering! ”

"That's right, I broke out in a cold sweat when you said it. I think I also committed the taboo of underestimating the enemy. What we have to think about now is not how to capture the city, but how to march in the mountains and how to reduce losses in the mountain jungle operations. ”

When the two of them were talking, Li Shimin's voice suddenly came from behind him, Li Dongsheng was startled, are you a ghost? Why do you walk without sound? As a monarch eavesdropping on the conversations of the people below, do you need to be a little decent. It's good that we didn't speak ill of you.

The expressions of the surrounding generals and civil officials have become very solemn, the Tang Dynasty has been invincible in wars with the surrounding countries since it was surrounded by the Turks and signed the Weishui Alliance, from the Eastern Turks to Gaochang and Tubo, such achievements make the Tang Dynasty from the emperor to the people, they are very high-spirited, and their expectations for their own troops are very high, and they intuitively think that the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo will also be taken as soon as it is done in the past, especially now that there is a grenade as a big killer, the monarchs and ministers are very optimistic about the prospects of the war. Now I found that Li Dongsheng still remained sober under such an advantageous situation, and what he said just now was like a basin of ice water falling down on Li Shimin's head, allowing Li Shimin to calm down again.

Looking at the young Li Dongsheng, Li Shimin's heart fluctuated, what is the situation with this guy, he is younger than those Zaifu, if he didn't look at his face, he really thought he was a fifty or sixty-year-old old guy. He paused for a moment and said: "Today, I have to be reminded by Lantian Hou, lest I make a big mistake, come to someone, give him a meritorious credit, and wait for our army to return to the dynasty in triumph and then reward him for meritorious service!" ”
