Li You felt the slight tremor of her delicate body, his palm gently caressed her back, and his lips kissed her hair.

"Wow", after a hearty cry, a happy Ashina Qing who completely let go of the knot in her heart was born.

Since then, people have seen a normal and beautiful girl who is smiling and happy.

The next day, the coalition forces held a military meeting. The meeting decided that the coalition army would be formally established, with Li You as the marshal, Hou Junji as the deputy marshal, and Gao Yong as the vanguard general.

The coalition forces were organized into the front, middle, left and right armies. The Chinese army was personally commanded by Li You and was divided into left and right protectors, led by Sima Jiong and Ashina Qing respectively.

The front army was served by the Tang army, commanded by Gao Yong, and the left and right armies were served by Murong Ling's Tuyuhun army and Ashina Simo's Turkic army respectively.

At this time, there were 23 countries in the Western Regions, the largest of which was the Western Turks, and most of the rest of the countries were dependent on the Western Turks, and the Gaochang Kingdom was also attached to the Western Turks.

If you want to fight Gaochang, you must guard against the intervention of the Western Turks. The first thing the coalition forces had to deal with was to prevent the Western Turks from interfering.

Li You consulted the history of the Western Turks and knew that the Western Turks were full of internal contradictions, and the current Khan and his uncle Yugu had a coup d'état in 637, and a great war broke out between the two sides, and by 683 the Western Turks had a coup d'état with the Yile River (present-day ?). Ili River) as the boundary, divided into two parts.

What Li You has to do is to provoke a big battle between them in advance. Wang Xuance accepted this task and had already set off first.

Li You and the others decided to rest and train their troops at Yumen Pass and wait for news from Wang Xuance.

Regarding the matter of military training, there are famous generals such as Hou Junji, and Li You is too lazy to worry about it, since he has nothing to do, the idle egg hurts, so he enjoys the food in the company of the two beauties.

The delicious food in Dunhuang is mainly pasta.

Pull the noodles, is the first choice of Dunhuang people's pasta, stir-fry some tomato, sour cabbage vermicelli meat, pickles, garlic paste mixed together, fragrant. Dunhuang people say that they don't want to eat other things for a year, but if they don't eat noodles, they will always be hungry.

There are also noodles with sting, yellow noodles with donkey meat, slurry noodles, soup noodles, rolling noodles, plucking gnocchi, paoer oil cake, Qilian flying snow cakes, Yuqian rice, and chicken mat rolls. Lamb stewed cakes, beef stewed gnocchi, red willow roast mutton. These are the authentic delicacies of Dunhuang.

Li You and others went to Dunhuang City a few times, and as the coach, they were always a little embarrassed to leave Yumen Pass, so they sent someone to invite the chefs of Dunhuang City to cook directly in Yumen Pass.

Li You often goes to the kitchen to instruct the chefs to develop new dishes.

On this day, Li You feasted the generals of the coalition army and let them see the food level of real foodies.

Today's feast served eight dishes one after another. These eight dishes are exquisitely made and beautifully shaped. Although the aroma is compelling, it makes people feel that they can't bear to put down chopsticks.

Murong Ling's identity at the moment is not the county lord of Yinzhou, but the wife of a foodie, she followed Li You to develop these dishes, she introduced crisply: "This first dish is called Yuequan Xiaoche.

The crescent moon spring was called the manhole, the medicine spring, and the Yao Pond in ancient times, because there is a water spring in the sand mountain that is not flooded by the wind and sand all the year round, and there are seven star grass in the spring, the immortal medicinal materials of the ironback fish, and the legend that the queen mother bathes here and gets the name.

When you sit in the small hall by the spring at night, listen to the cuckoo's call, look at the crescent moon reflected in the spring water, taste tea and write poems, talk about life, you will be relaxed and happy.

This dish is made of green agar into the shape of a crescent spring, with the iron-backed fish in the spring as the main ingredient, and decorated with seven-star grass, making the moon spring Xiaoche with realistic shape and beautiful color and fragrance, which makes people dream back to Yaochi and feel like a fairy.

The second dish is called Dangshui Beiliu ......"

Murong Ling introduced the eight dishes in one go.

These eight dishes are the famous Dunhuang Eight Scenic Banquet in Dunhuang, which Li You went to eat before crossing.

Everyone looked at the beautiful dishes in front of them, looked at the stunning beauties around His Royal Highness King Qi, and all praised this prince for being a refined person who would enjoy it.

Everyone ate to their heart's content.

Ashina Simo was in contact with this prince for the first time, seeing that he was so young and paying attention to beauty and food, he was worried that he was a gentleman, and it was a little unreliable for him to serve as the commander of the coalition army.

He held a wine glass, whispered to Hou Junji, and said, "Lord Shangshu, why did Your Majesty let this prince be the commander of the coalition army, can he be competent for such a big military operation?" ”

Hou Junji smiled and said, "General Ashina, you put your heart in your stomach." This His Royal Highness the King of Qi is not an ordinary person. I, Hou Junji, am not bragging, and I can't see it in the eyes of ordinary people. But for this prince, I admire it from the bottom of my heart.

Let's put it this way, what do you think of the level of these dishes in front of you? ”

Ashina Simo said: "I don't know how to describe it, I can only say that it is exquisite." ”

Hou Junji said solemnly: "This is the level of His Royal Highness King Qi's work. ”

In addition to eating, Li You really did something.

Li You brought a large number of craftsmen, but he didn't let them idle, Li You drew some drawings for them and let them build new weapons.

Ash Naqing is Li You's future wife, she brought the troops here to train the soldiers, so she had to give her some unique work.

Most of the grasslands and the Western Regions are relatively flat places, which are most suitable for cavalry combat, as well as heavy armored cavalry combat.

On this day, Hou Junji and others were invited to visit the training of the Ashina Qing cavalry.

Ashina Qing held a scimitar and stood in front of the formation, flanked by neatly arranged cavalry. Hou Junji and others felt that it was very ordinary, and there was nothing new.

Suddenly, Ashina Qing signaled, and the flag bearer behind her waved the flag a few times. The cavalry around Ashinaqing quickly ran to both sides, and she also retreated directly.

At this moment, the big killer weapon in her army was revealed.

I saw three rows of heavily armored cavalry appear on the battle array. These horsemen and horses were covered with thick armor, and only one pair of eyes were exposed, and the horses showed their eyes and legs.

Every third of the horses were connected by iron cables, and the soldiers carried heavy iron spears in their hands. Three rows of heavy cavalry each row of twelve groups, the entire queue a total of 108 horsemen.

With Ashinaqing's command, the heavily armored cavalry launched a charge. "Boom", the heavy cavalry advanced like a wall, and the momentum was amazing!

At the same time, the cavalry, scattered on both sides, also charged forward in an outflanking formation.

This is the Tiefutu and the kidnapping horse that the Jin State swept through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Hou Junji and others still recognized this cavalry tactic, and he said: "This tactic, used to charge the battle at a critical moment, is really powerful. ”

Ashinaqing's troops have a unique ability, what are the new changes in Murong Ling's troops? 8)
