The battlefield was cleaned quickly and cleanly.

In less than an hour, the battlefield of the fierce battle on the east bank of the Liao River had been cleaned up, the corpses of the soldiers killed on both sides were buried separately, the stumps, broken arms, skulls, internal organs and other things on the ground were also cleaned up, flags and weapons were gathered into a pile, and a group of civilian officials with books and paper in their hands were busy recording the battle losses and the statistics of the soldiers killed in the battle.

Nothing happened, except for the fire that still hasn't been extinguished in the Goryeo army camp not far away, and the shocking bloodstains on the beach on the shore that can't be cleaned up.

Since the battle between the two armies, Li Su's mood has been very depressed.

After a long time of peace, when he came to the battlefield again, Li Su found that he was a little cowardly, and he no longer had the calmness and determination when he defended the city in Xizhou City.

The sound of footsteps came from behind him, and Li Ji, who was dressed in armor, held his helmet and came behind Li Su.

Li Su didn't have time to salute him, Li Ji suddenly kicked and kicked on his thigh, Li Su's figure couldn't help but stumble, and Fang Lao Wu and Zheng Xiaolou and other subordinates behind him watched, and then looked at each other, exchanging a helpless look with each other.

I can't manage this matter, my parents teach my younger generations a lesson, and I deserve to be crippled.

After kicking, Li Ji shouted with a frosty face: "It shows that you can endure it, right?" Dare to confront Your Majesty in front of the soldiers, are you dizzy? If the old man hadn't stopped you just now, do you know where you should be now? ”

Li Su was angry at this time, and sneered when he heard this: "Where did I get the ability, the one who has the ability is Your Majesty, look at this battle, Sun Wu can't compare to him in the next life." ”

Li Ji immediately looked around nervously, and after seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, he relieved his heart, and then raised his foot in anger and was about to kick him again, Li Su's figure flashed and dodged.

He didn't have a good temper to be obedient, and when his father copied the magic weapon to chase and kill all over the yard, he did not make a mistake.

Li Ji fell short, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "No wonder I heard your father say that you have been a bastard since you were a child, and the old man finally saw it today." ”

Li Su was silent.

Li Ji patted him on the shoulder, his tone suddenly became kind, and he pointed to a small hill not far away, and said, "Walk with the old man." ”

The two of them walked slowly towards the hills, and Fang Lao Wu and the other subordinates hurriedly followed, rushing in front of Li Ji and Li Su to look vigilantly and open the way. The battle had just ended, and it was not peaceful here, and it was difficult to say whether there were any scattered enemy soldiers roaming in ambush nearby.

The uncle and nephew walked silently for a long time, and when they came to a leeward corner where no one was around, Li Ji motioned to sit down, and then stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Did you not understand a lot of things about this battle just now?" ”

Li Su did have a lot of doubts in his heart at this time, and now he didn't bother to get angry, he nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Yes, I used to be the one who led the troops to fight, but the battle just now, to be honest, I didn't understand it." ”

Li Ji sneered: "What did you call leading troops to fight back then?" It's nothing more than standing on the head of the city and fighting indiscriminately, whoever comes up will kill it, can it be compared with this kind of confrontation between the two armies in front of the formation? ”

"Well, even if I don't have any experience in leading troops, I still know that this battle is not like this today!"

Li Ji smiled: "Well, it can be regarded as an opportunity to guide the country, then tell me, what do you not understand about today's battle?" ”

Li Sudao: "I know that the battle between the two armies will inevitably lead to death, and I also know the truth that Ci is not in charge of the army, as the commander must be hard-hearted, no matter how big the casualties of his own side are, he must face it calmly, in order to maximize the chance of victory." I understand the truth, the only thing I don't understand is that when crossing the river, you can use the earth-shaking thunder to blast a bloody road to buy time and space for our army to cross the river, why did Your Majesty abandon it? What was he thinking? The Heaven-Shaking Thunder is not valuable, is it worth fighting with so many human lives? ”

Li Ji smiled: "I knew that you would ask this, and I knew that you would say a bunch of rebellious things, so the old man took you to this no-man's land first, and you put out the fire first and then reasoned." ”

Li Su also calmed down at this time, and said, "Uncle, I have finished venting, and now I am very calm, please ask my uncle to solve my nephew's doubts." ”

Li Ji looked at him, then nodded, and said, "It seems that he is indeed calm, okay, the old man will reason with you." - First of all, the earth-shattering thunder is a good thing, and it is a good thing enough to deter the enemy, when the old man fought on the battlefield, after countless battles, bloody battles, and death battles, if I had this thing back then, many bloody battles that were almost desperate might not have been fought so hard......"

Looking at him deeply, Li Ji said slowly: "The earth-shaking thunder was created by you, don't underestimate it, it is very important to us, although it is not enough to determine the outcome of a war, but it can play a lot of unexpected important roles, long before the army was launched, His Majesty called us generals together, and sternly told us that the earth-shaking thunder is our last killer weapon, and it must be used as a last resort, and it must be taken out when the war enters a critical and stalemate, once it is used, It is necessary to achieve the effect of a blockbuster and a decisive battle, so don't expect to use it in ordinary small wars, it is our last sharp weapon. ”

Li Su looked at Li Ji in amazement, looking stunned.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin actually had this idea......

To put it bluntly, it still exchanged the lives of soldiers for victory in the war, but Li Shimin raised the earth-shaking thunder to a strategic height and regarded it as an existence similar to a strategic nuclear weapon.

When Li Ji explained, Li Su was silent.

I can't tell what I feel in my heart at this moment, regardless of the success or failure of Li Shimin's entire strategic deployment, and just talking about this battle of crossing the river, Li Su can't tell whether Li Shimin's decision is right or wrong.

Looking at Li Su's silent face, Li Ji sighed and said, "Zizheng, you are the nephew of the old man, and you are your own family, the old man has to say, you, your mind is too heavy." You have experienced the war, you know what it is about, how can there be immortals in the war, your compassionate heart is not a good thing, if you are a general, you will bring the soldiers under your command into the ghost gate, the taboo of the generals is that you can not have the idea of compassion, you can eat and sleep with the soldiers on weekdays, share the joys and sorrows, once the two armies start a war, you must completely change your appearance, whether it is for the enemy, or for your own soldiers, you can not have the idea of compassion, once you have the idea, it is easy to affect your judgment of the battle situation, become an impulsive and stupid reckless man, Thousands of soldiers will be unlucky if they follow you, and one will be incompetent and kill the three armies. The only person who can show compassion on the battlefield is the medical officer who treats the wounded. ”

Li Su bowed to Li Ji and said, "Uncle, nephew remember the teachings. ”

Li Jimu showed a look of relief, and said: "You are a piece of beautiful jade, no need to carve, natural, only slightly flawed, a few years older, those flaws can be erased, the old man can teach you not much, there are some places you know better than the old man, but the old man, as your elder, has lived a few years longer than you, these years, some of the losses you have suffered, the lessons you have received, the old man can tell you, if you remember, you will encounter the same things in the future, or you can bypass them, you don't have to fall into the same pit, This is the only thing that the old man can teach you. ”

Li Su's face was grateful, and he bowed respectfully to him, and said respectfully: "Thank you Uncle for your care." ”

Li Ji nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "I can't write two Li characters in one stroke, your father is an orphan, his name was taken by the old man, your mother is the old man's own sister, the old man also treats you as his own, you are the unicorn of our Li family, the future achievements are limitless, our Li family from the old man below, except for you, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to become a climate, so the old man has high expectations for you, you don't let the old man down, in the future, the old man will pass away, maybe my Li family will also encounter danger, then you must help the Li family." , do not seek the scenery for a hundred years, but have a house and a few acres of thin fields to live by. ”

Li Su looked at him in surprise.

He didn't quite understand why Li Ji suddenly said these things to him, today's British justice is the best time, when the DPRK and China talk about the ranking of military generals, Li Jing is the undisputed first, but Li Ji must be the undisputed second, second only to the Tang Dynasty God of War The No. 2 military figure, why do you say this today with a gloomy meaning?

Looking at Li Su's puzzled expression, Li Ji suddenly smiled: "Mo Duo thinks, the old man just suddenly felt something, as the saying goes, once the son of heaven is a courtier, His Majesty and the old man are a dynasty of monarchs and ministers, now it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Jin has a great chance of being made the crown prince, I am afraid that he will be able to ascend the throne in the future, you have a deep friendship with the King of Jin, you are the monarchs and ministers of the new dynasty, and the future is great, the old man and His Royal Highness the King of Jin are finally separated by a layer, so the old man has asked for you." ”

Li Su is a smart person, often able to draw inferences, listening to Li Ji said, Li Su had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly said: "Since Master Wang left Chang'an until now, has my uncle heard anything His Majesty said?" ”

Li Ji looked at him appreciatively and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a character with a delicate heart...... Yes, the last time I camped north from Jizhou, when I camped on the road one day, His Majesty was upset, and left the old man chatting in the handsome tent, hmm...... The old man also contributed the few catties of liquor he drank last time, and he drank with His Majesty until midnight......"

Li Su immediately chilled, and his face turned a little pale.

As for his own uncle, he sold his nephew in a blink of an eye, do you know what the crime of hiding wine in the army is privately? Aren't you afraid that white-haired people send black-haired people?

seemed to see Li Su's displeasure, Li Ji pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't implicate you, Your Majesty is very fond of you, although military law is ruthless, but it is aimed at others, Your Majesty will never be embarrassed for you because of this little thing, and he still expects you to make contributions to him." ”

Li Su was relieved at this time, and threw Li Ji a coquettish look,—— scared the baby to death.

Li Ji paused, and then said: "Your Majesty and the old man drank a lot that night, and when they were six or seven minutes drunk, Your Majesty said something from the heart......"

Li Su's eyes blinked, and his waist straightened unconsciously, he knew that it was rare for Li Shimin to say what was in his heart, these words must be very important, and they must be related to Lichu.

Li Ji said slowly: "Now that His Royal Highness the King of Wei is going out with the army, His Majesty is not very satisfied with him, I thought that the King of Wei would introspect himself after the last Feng Du case, and change his mind, but unfortunately His Majesty has secretly observed these days, and found that the King of Wei is still the same, without the slightest repentance, these days on the march, the King of Wei is often in and out of the tent, and many times to His Majesty advice, it can be seen that the King of Wei has used his thoughts, but the strategies offered are not advisable, this is okay, young people, naïve, impulsive, inevitably ill-conceived, Your Majesty really feels chilled is that in addition to offering advice these days, the King of Wei is always slandering intentionally or unintentionally, what is the fear that the King of Jin will lose in the Chang'an prison country, and the military power granted to these generals to the old man is too great, and after this victory, he will return to the dynasty to reform the military system and take back his authority, of course, you Li Zizheng is a thorn in his side, and he has entered a lot of slander......"

Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face deepened: "King Wei, hehe, the scholar business is quite heavy, when he was in Chang'an, he had the eldest grandson Wuji to protect him, and there were many strategists in the palace. In fact, in the eyes of His Majesty, it is purely a villain who is playing right and wrong, Your Majesty is a holy and heroic lord, how can he listen to these slanderous rumors? ”

Li Su understood, and a smile appeared on his face.

Originally, Li Su was worried that Li Tai would regain his advantage during the Eastern Expedition, and after returning to Chang'an, he would compete with Li Zhi for favor, but who knew that people dug a hole for themselves in a blink of an eye......

Well, presumably these days with the army, Li Tai was a little anxious, and he had been rejected for so many battle strategies, and under the hopelessness of meritorious service, he had to find another way, starting from the courtiers he was good at, trying to make a big deal and compete for a performance in front of Li Shimin, and the result was ...... Play smashed.

Poor and ridiculous!

Li Ji looked at him with a smile, and said with a smile: "So, the old man feels that His Majesty is becoming more and more disappointed in King Wei, on the other hand, His Majesty may pay more and more attention to King Jin, and when he returns to the dynasty after the big victory, he may immediately make King Jin the crown prince, as long as King Jin does not make any big mistakes after becoming the prince, this position should not change again, and you, as the best friend of the prince Long Qian, will definitely reward you heavily when King Jin ascends the throne in the future, and your weight in the court will become heavier and heavier from now on, understand?" ”

Li Su nodded, and then suddenly found that Li Ji winked at him.

At this age, she actually looks like a delicate girl throwing flattering eyes to her nephew...... What does it mean?

Soon Li Su understood.

There are some things that Li Ji's identity is difficult to say, but the meaning is very clear.

It is the last step away from the complete loss of power of the King of Wei, and Li Su must take advantage of this eastern crusade to completely step on the King of Wei, so as to keep Li Zhi's position as the crown prince stable and quiet.

How to step on this foot? The days of the Crusade are still long, and there should be a chance. 17010
