The air in the tent is fresh, the night is as cool as water, the evening breeze is gentle, and the soft grass and ...... are under your feet Horse manure in an irregular arrangement like a plum pile......

Li Su's good mood was ruined by horse manure, so he had to turn around and walk in a different direction, his steps were very slow, as if he was carefully measuring the land with his feet.

Fang Lao Wu and Zheng Xiaolou followed him without saying a word, they knew that whenever this time came, it must be Li Su who was thinking and pondering, and they must not disturb him at this time.

"Fifth Uncle, have you recruited those assassins?" After a long time, Li Su suddenly asked.

Fang Lao Wu said in a low voice: "No, not only did he not recruit, but no one even said a word, he didn't say a word, it seems that there is a group of dumb people in the barracks......"

Li Su snorted and said: "They shouldn't know that Gao Suhui has recruited all of them, of course, whether Gao Suhui's words are true or not, we can't judge, and even whether her name is Gao Suhui or not has to be questioned, this woman ...... Hehe, I'm not very old, and I have a lot of eyes. ”

Fang Lao Wu smiled: "Grandpa's eyes are like torches." ”

Li Su turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "What did the fifth uncle see?" ”

Fang Lao Wu said with a smile: "Other villains don't dare to say it, but the woman's action of eating just now must be fake, and the acting is a little excessive." ”

Li Su nodded: "Yes, it is indeed overacted, and it is counterproductive to use too much force." ”

Zheng Xiaolou, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Where is the fraud?" ”

Li Su smiled and sighed: "I deliberately stayed in the tent just now, just to see her eating appearance, Brother Xiaolou, a person's eating appearance can expose a lot of truth, it is closely related to upbringing, family background, personality, etc., if the eyes are the window of a person's soul, then the eating appearance is the projection of this person's background and family background, no matter how much this person wants to hide his inner secrets and origin, eating appearance cannot be changed or changed, because this is a habit developed from childhood to adulthood, a person from a vulgar background and a person of noble birth, The difference is clear at the dinner table. ”

Zheng Xiaolou understood a little: "You mean to say that this woman's appearance just now was deliberate?" In fact, she shouldn't have been like this? ”

Li Su smiled: "Yes, she was acting just now, maybe she also understands why I have to stay in front of her to watch her eat, so she is very careful and nervous when she eats, when she decides to eat in front of me, her eyes first swept around the rice ball, as if she was looking for something, I guess she is looking for chopsticks, why are she looking for chopsticks?" Because she is not accustomed to eating directly with her hands, whether it is the official system or customs of the Goryeo Kingdom, they all follow my Tang Central Plains, the vulgar people in the mountains and wilderness eat with their hands, and the people of a slightly higher class use chopsticks, including their habit of using Chinese characters in the Central Plains, and they are proud of reading the ancient sages of the Central Plains, the first thing this woman saw before eating was not rice balls, but chopsticks, indicating that her background was not low......"

Zheng Xiaolou pouted and said: "According to her confession, she was originally an assassin raised by Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi City, for many years, Yang Wanchun is the city lord, so it should be normal for her assassins to use chopsticks, right?" ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Yang Wanchun is a military general, and she and the assassins are also martial artists, I don't think Yang Wanchun is such a delicate family master, willing to spend time to teach this group of dead assassins to speak Chinese, with chopsticks, their value is only to kill, in exchange for you are their master, will you waste so much energy and money in these useless places?" ”

Zheng Xiaolou was sluggish.

Yes, a group of assassins destined to die for the head of the family one day, it can be said that this is a group of people who have no future, who would waste energy and money to do such a senseless thing?

Li Su continued: "Also, when the woman held the rice ball with her hand just now, she stretched out the thumb and index finger of her right hand, the ring finger and the tail finger slightly upturned, that is to say, this action is not called 'taking', but 'pulling', and the Buddha has a handprint of 'smiling flowers', which means 'quiet and peaceful', 'pure and open-minded'......"

As he spoke, Li Su stretched out his right hand, made a "swipe" motion, and then said with a smile: "You have also been in Taiping Village for so long, think about it carefully, which peasant family in our village has used such an elegant gesture when taking things?" Have it? ”

Fang Lao Wu and Zheng Xiaolou both shook their heads.

Fang Lao Wu said with a smile: "Those peasant families in the village, even the most elegant girls who have not left the pavilion, have never been so particular about taking things, they usually stretch out their hands and grab them. ”

Li Su nodded and said: "Yes, so, that woman's use of the action of 'squeezing' actually exposed her good background and family background, although the action of 'squeezing' was only for a moment, because we were staring at her in front of her at the time, the woman was very nervous, but she still quickly noticed that something was wrong, and instantly changed from 'squeezing' to opening her fingers to 'grab', but at that moment she still betrayed her bottom ......"

Fang Lao Wu and Zheng Xiaolou were dumbfounded when they heard this, Fang Lao Wu stared at Li Su and blurted out: "Grandpa has good eyesight!" There are so many ways to see in the two small movements, and that woman dares to be careful in front of her grandfather, which is simply beyond her strength. ”

Li Su waved his hand and said modestly: "Don't be busy praising me first, you can praise me fiercely after I finish talking ......."

After pondering for a while, Li Su continued: "As for the next woman who began to deliberately gobble up, her eating appearance was very ugly, in fact, it was a bit excessive, that kind of ugly eating appearance, even ordinary rough and uneducated daughters can't do it, that woman thinks that the eating appearance of poor people is like this, which just shows that she is out of touch with the life of poor people, and she lacks observation on weekdays, and she has lived in a pampered environment for a long time, so she will act in a fire without knowing it......"

"And look at her hands, her ten fingers are slender, and there is not much roughness on the back of her palms, only the tips of her ten fingers have a thin layer of calluses, what does this mean? It shows that she is not doing rough work at home, nor is she practicing swords and guns, the cocoon is on her fingertips rather than in the palm of her hand, hehe, she practices the piano, and the daughters of large families, especially powerful families, will practice the piano, this is a compulsory course for people like them before they leave the cabinet, so the so-called so-called being raised by Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi, and practicing the art of killing people with guns and swords since she was a child, etc., are all lies, she is actually the daughter of a large family, to be precise, it should be the daughter of a powerful royal family in Goguryeo......"

Turning his head to look at Zheng Xiaolou, Li Su asked: "You just took her out to wash her face and cleanse her face, she kept struggling, judging from her strength, do you think she knows kung fu?" ”

Zheng Xiaolou thought for a while and said, "Yes, but there are not many of them, they are more powerful than ordinary women, but they are also very powerful, with her skills, um...... Probably beat two ordinary women, that's all. ”

Li Su nodded, looked up at the stars in the night sky, took a deep breath, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, it seems that she is really a big fish, hiding quite deeply, a little interesting......"

Fang Lao Wu frowned and said, "Grandpa, if what she confessed is all false, then she and that group of assassins are obviously not sent by Yang Wanchun, who is the person behind her?" Could it be some powerful person in Pyongyang, the capital of Goryeo......"

Li Suyou said: "In the country of Goryeo, there are only Quan Gai Suwen, Gao Yanshou, Gao Huizhen, and Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi, these forces, of course, if Gao Zang, the king of Goryeo who was erected as a puppet, is not willing to be controlled and secretly plotted, he is barely a force, this woman named Gao Suhui is sifting around, after all, it is from their families, this should be right, the days are still long, leave her by her side and observe it, I always feel that her assassination of His Majesty is not her real purpose, There may be a deeper inside story waiting for me to dig out......"

Turning around and patting Zheng Xiaolou and Fang Lao Wu on the shoulder, Li Su smiled and said: "The day this woman stays by my side, my life will be entrusted to the two, that woman has kung fu after all, and I, I have no power to restrain the chicken, if she does it to me, please protect me, my life is very valuable......"

Fang Lao Wu hurriedly bowed down and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, from today onwards, the villain will stay by the grandfather's side day and night, and his eyes will be open when he sleeps, and the woman will not have the slightest chance of murdering the grandfather, and the villain will guarantee the grandfather's safety with his life." ”

Zheng Xiaolou also rarely hummed seriously, which was regarded as a formal response to Li Su's invitation.

*****************************************************************

The army has been stationed in Jizhou for five days.

Of course, the army was stationed in Jizhou, but it was not calm in the camp.

On the third day of camping, Zhang Liang, the general commander of the Pyongyang Provincial March, hurriedly entered the camp to meet Li Shimin, and the strategy of the Eastern Expedition was to advance by land and water, Zhang Liang was the governor of the navy, and he commanded more than 500 large and small warships and a total of more than 20,000 people.

After Zhang Liang entered the camp, Li Shimin summoned him alone, and the two of them talked secretly for more than an hour, and then Zhang Liang hurriedly left the camp.

On the twentieth day of the twelfth month of the eighteenth year of Zhenguan.

Zhang Liang, the chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March, led more than 500 naval warships to Goguryeo.

Zhang Liang was ordered by Li Shimin to lead 20,000 naval troops to tear open this fortified city, open the first gap in the battle of the Eastern Expedition from the south, and cooperate with the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops on the land route of the Tang Dynasty in the north, thus forming a north-south flank attack, so that the north and south of Goguryeo could not care about each other.

As soon as Zhang Liang's navy set off, Li Shimin ordered the drums to gather the generals, and the veteran generals in the army gathered in the three drums, including Li Su.

In the tent, Li Shimin's face sank like water, and the veterans in the tent were noisy and noisy, and they all told about their deployment and intentions for the army.

"Alright, shut up!" Li Shimin suddenly shouted, and the veterans suddenly shrank their heads like quails and stopped squeaking.

Li Shimin's face was full of frost, slowly glanced at the generals, and snorted: "It's just a joke in the court meeting on weekdays, but now it is in the tent of the commander of the Eastern Expedition, and what he says is a major military event related to the fortune of the country, how can it be child's play!" ”

The generals were ashamed, and bowed down in unison to plead for their sins.

Li Shimin's face softened slightly, pointed at Li Ji, and said: "Manager Li, you are the land commander, first tell me your opinion, where should my Wang Shi break into Goryeo?" ”

Li Ji was not humble, stood up and pointed to the sheepskin map in front of Li Shimin, Li Shimin and all the generals surrounded him, Li Su was young and qualified, and could only listen to the movement outside the crowd.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that after our army pulls out the camp in Jizhou, it will march north, and the next stop will be stationed in Liucheng, Yingzhou, and take Liucheng as the front line, slowly advancing to the east, and now Zhang Liang, the governor of Pyongyang Province, has led the water division to Beisha City, and my army of hundreds of thousands of troops by land is the main force, crossing the Liaoshui first, and then the first stop is ......" Li Ji said and poked at a certain person on the map, and said: "Yincheng!" Attack Yincheng first, after taking it, turn to Hengshan, and then go all the way to the south, after conquering Huangcheng, Liaodong City, Baiyan City...... Then it was to attack Anseong City, and finally join forces with Zhang Liangshui's division under Gyeongju City, and finally, take Pyongyang, the national capital, and capture Quan Gai Suwen alive! ”

Li Ji's combat style is usually steady and slow, not risky at all, and steady and steady step by step, and the strategic deployment made by Li Ji at this moment is still a familiar taste, and it can no longer be more stable.

Li Shimin nodded slowly, it was undeniable that Li Ji's strategic intentions were quite in line with his mind, but ......

A disdainful voice suddenly appeared in the crowd, Cheng Yanjin finally couldn't help but speak, and opened his mouth to raise the bar, after all, the credit for conquering Goguryeo was too rich, and Cheng Yanjin had to fight, otherwise he would be sorry for his bad reputation for being domineering.

"Shhhh Li Ji Lao Pifu, according to what you say, let's launch an offensive from the northwest of Goguryeo, all the way to the south, there are 20 cities on the way, and each city consumes troops, grain and grass and time, Li Ji, have you calculated this account, when we hit the city of Pyongyang, how much grain and grass is left in our army, how tired are the officers and men in the army, at that time, we will use the tired army of the tired expedition and the little grain and grass left to attack the capital of the country with high walls and strong walls, hehe, what are the odds of victory? ”

Cheng Yanjin's words were very polite, but they were very reasonable, and many veterans present nodded and pondered, and even Li Shimin showed hesitation.

Li Ji glanced at Cheng Yanjin, and sneered: "Cheng Lao Pifu, according to what you say, what should I do?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin was not polite, stretched out his arm, and pulled the two generals who were blocking him to the side with a big grin, in the veteran laughter and scolding, Cheng Biting Jin walked to the map, and his fingers as thick as a radish stick poked at the map fiercely, Cheng Biting Jin said murderously: "If you ask me to lead the troops Lao Cheng, it is very simple, cross the Liaoshui, first attack Liaodong City, Baiyan City, and then the army will take Gyeongju directly, after conquering Gyeongju, don't care about Zhang Liang's navy, 20,000 sailors will be a fart!" Let's start directly from Gyeongju, the troops will come to the city of Pyongyang, take Pyongyang within three or five days, capture the old boy of Quan Gai Suwen alive, and beat him violently, Quan Gai Su Moon is a traitor who kills the king with his ministers, and he is unpopular in Goguryeo, if he is captured, Goguryeo will inevitably be in chaos, and each will wait and see, and dare not easily advance, then we will break the various forces in Goryeo, how about it? Is my old Cheng's method much better than that of Li Ji's old horseman? ”

After speaking, Cheng Biting Jin showed a smug look on his face, and kept squeezing his eyebrows at the crowd, looking cheap.

Li Ji sneered: "Pyongyang City is the capital of Goryeo, the walls are 15 zhang high, all made of granite, and there are nearly 250,000 troops inside and outside the city, what ability do you have to capture Pyongyang in three or five days?" If you can't conquer it for a long time, not only will it lose the morale of our army, but also give the Goryeo reinforcements from the surrounding cities enough time to rush to Pyongyang, then our army will be surrounded on all sides, and there is a danger of annihilation. ”

Cheng Yanjin said angrily: "Who said that I can't defeat Pyongyang in three or five days? Don't forget, old man Li, your nephew Li Su once made a good thing called 'Earthquake Thunder', remember? That's a good thing, when our army and Tubo fought fiercely in Songzhou, it had already fallen into defeat, all relying on this earth-shattering thunder densely thrown towards the city wall, the Tubo thieves were bombed and cried dad and mother, our army easily recovered Songzhou City, with this sharp weapon, why worry about Pyongyang? ”

Li Su, who was outside the crowd, had a numb scalp, and his body couldn't help but be three points shorter.

Why do you bother with me? I'm an innocent melon eater......

Li Su tried his best to keep a low profile, but it was too late. After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in the handsome tent searched around, and finally all focused on Li Su, the melon-eating crowd.

Immediately, Cheng Jin's broken gong voice shouted: "Where is Li Su? Where is Li Suna's baby? Get out of here! ”

Li Su sighed and stepped forward with a wry smile.

Before he could speak, he suddenly felt that his body was light, and he was carried by Cheng Yanjin to stand in front of the map with one hand.

"Li Su, tell me, with your earth-shattering thunder, can we conquer Pyongyang within three or five days?" Cheng Biting Jin pointed to the map in a rough voice, and said: "The city wall is fifteen zhang high, select the most powerful people in the army, and give an order, throw the earth-shaking thunder on the city wall, after three rounds, I am afraid that there is not even a live mouse on the city wall, and then we will concentrate on the fire to attack the city gate, don't say three or five days, the old man's opinion, Pyongyang City can be defeated in half a day, Li Su, do you say?" ”

Li Su was really embarrassed, because he found that everyone's ardent eyes were all focused on him, it can be seen that they all have the same idea as Cheng Yanjin, hoping that the earth-shaking thunder can play the role of Dingding Qiankun and quickly take Pyongyang City, but Li Su is the person who knows the power of the earth-shaking thunder the most, this kind of thing is used for the first time, maybe he can take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, blow them up in a hurry, and greatly shake the enemy's military heart, but if it is used too much, the enemy must have a countermeasure, counting on this little thing to decide the outcome of a siege battle, It's really Too young, too simple......

"Well, uncles and uncles continue to talk, and the juniors will go and get some water for you to moisten your throats......" Li Su turned around and wanted to slip away.

"Get back to the old man!" Cheng Yanjin unceremoniously took his big hand, took Li Su back like a chicken, and continued to stand still in front of the map.

"Just say yes or no, this is a military matter, if you dare to run, you will be punished for the crime of escaping, say it quickly!" Cheng Yanjin shouted impatiently.

Li Su sighed and said bluntly: "No." ”

Everyone, including Li Shimin, showed disappointment.

Cheng bit Jin for a moment, and shouted angrily: "Your powerful old man has seen it with his own eyes, why can't it?" ”

Li Su had a chill......

Can't you talk well? What do you mean by "you've seen that thing with your own eyes", driving without saying a word, making people unprepared at all......

"Well, Uncle Cheng is angry, there is no joke in the army, the little nephew does not dare to mistake the army, this earth-shattering thunder...... It is really impossible to storm the city of Pyongyang. Li Su said with a bitter face.

"Why?" Several veterans said in unison.

Li Su sighed: "Firearms seem to be sharp, but in fact, there are many constraints, such as not being able to use them in rainy weather, being too far away to use them, and using them for too short or too long to burn for a long time...... The walls of Pyongyang are 15 zhang high, and even if a powerful man can throw a thunderbolt into it, the length of the lead of each thunderstorm created by the Firearms Bureau is fixed, and the lead of the thunderbolt is too short compared to the distance of 15 zhang, and if you can't wait to throw it at the wall, the thunderstorm will explode, which is useless for siege warfare......"

Cheng Yanjin laughed: "This is simple, it would be nice to ask someone to make the lead a little longer now." ”

Li Su smiled bitterly: "It's still not good, Uncle Cheng, the lead is too long to affect the burning speed, and it is easy to be blown out by the air and strong winds in high-speed movement, if it is a stuffy jar thrown on the Pyongyang city wall, it is tantamount to giving a sharp weapon to the Goryeo defenders, if they ignite the lead and throw it down, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties, so this earth-shattering thunder cannot decide whether to take down Pyongyang ......"

After the explanation was clear, there was silence in the tent, and the generals hung their heads and looked disappointed.

Li Su also smiled bitterly, it seems that what should not have appeared in this era has finally disappointed everyone after breaking the rules to make it appear.

However, this can't be blamed on Li Su, after creating this thing, Li Su had a very deep conversation with Li Shimin, at that time he told Li Shimin that firearms are not the right way after all, it cannot determine the outcome of all battles, at best it is just the icing on the cake of the war, in this era of cold weapons, after all, it is the people themselves who fight the war, not sharp weapons, and the role of the earth-shaking thunder can be regarded as advancing this era at most, but it cannot have a decisive impact on this era.
