Chapter 56 'Intrigue'

Li Jing is still very talkative, and he agreed to Li Zhen's proposal after just a little consideration - it's just a few old soldiers, it's really not worth mentioning for the entire army, in that case, why not sell Li Zhen a face?

However, Li Jing considered that now is the beginning of the war, and the personnel transfer is more troublesome, and their transfer can only wait until after the war, but now it can be put under Li Zhen's account in advance.

Li Zhen is naturally noncommittal, anyway, he has his own plans, after this battle passes, he does not plan to participate in the next few wars, and when he is about the same age, he will go to the official of Yuezhou, and when the emperor is far away, his big plan can be launched, and he does not have to cower in everything like now.

Therefore, Li Zhen is looking forward to the final decisive battle, and therefore he will become more and more well-behaved in the following days, not only will he not even go to the shooting range (in order not to disturb the normal training of the army, Li Jing specially set up a very large field for Li Zhen outside the barracks for him to train artillery), and even the big tent is not very much, and the end of the gate is not out of the door, but the more he is like this, the more he is suspected by Li Jing, and the more closely he is watched.

But Li Zhen didn't care at all, just as the people watching outside were air, or did what they should do, which made Li Jing more and more confused, and discussed it with the two deputy chiefs and several generals no less than five times, but he just couldn't guess what Li Zhen was doing - as for Li Zhen really becoming well-behaved, hum, I'm afraid even Wei Chi Jingde doesn't believe it (Wei Chi Jingde: What do you mean, why don't you believe me?). Zhao Bensan: Do you believe it? Wei Chi Jingde: Of course I don't believe it. Zhao Bensan: Isn't this the end? Wei Chi Jingde: I always feel that something is wrong...... Li Zhen: Whatever is wrong, everything is right. Wei Chi Jingde: Really? Is it because I'm thinking too much? But it still feels like something is wrong. Zhao Bensan secretly thought beside him: People who have fought in the war really have good intuition. ）。

Li Jing didn't have a showdown with Li Zhen, but he was fooled by Li Zhen's stupid and cute expression, so that although he was puzzled and didn't know what Li Zhen was thinking, but Li Zhen didn't say it, he could only spy on Li Zhen in secret, but he couldn't blatantly look at him.

In the 'intrigue' between Li Zhen and Li Jing, the time soon came to the end of March, and in ten days, it was the battle of Li Jing's night attack on Yinshan.

So on the 25th, Li Zhen led 3,000 guards towards the shooting range (because in order to avoid disturbing the soldiers in training, Li Jing set up the shooting range of the artillery camp on the other side of Dingxiang, which was far away from the military camp, so for Li Zhen's safety, Li Jing would let the 3,000 guards follow every time, otherwise he was not allowed to go out).

The situation on Li Zhen's side was quickly reported to Li Jing by the spies, so at the gate of the camp, Li Jing stopped Li Zhen: "I don't know where Lord Changshi is going?" ”

"Naturally, I'm going to the shooting range." Li Zhen said honestly, and then said the reason himself: "The chief manager doesn't know, this batch of shells has serious quality problems, there are problems with sealing, and the shelf life can only last for one month. Therefore, it is necessary to shoot all the shells while there is still enough time, so that the artillery can be trained and the shells are not damp, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Wet?" Li Jingyi frowned, he had been making plans for the night attack on Yinshan during this period of time, and he didn't care much about the artillery battalion at all, and he didn't know the situation of the damp shells, so he couldn't help but look at the person beside Li Zhen. The man shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.

"Damn, I really didn't expect this guy to plant a secret agent next to me, this is too ruthless, right? This is to guard against me as a thief. The two of them wanted to be seen by Li Zhen, who was as careful as a hair, and couldn't help but slander in their hearts.

"Is this true?" didn't get the information he wanted to think in his own hands, so Li Jing had to find Li Zhen.

"It's nature." Li Zhen gestured to Fang Yiai, and then said, "If you don't believe it, you can check it, Yiai, and open the ammunition box." ”

"There's no need to check, but I hope Lord Changshi isn't lying to the manager." Li Zhen is a prince after all, and Li Jing can't do too much, so he hurriedly said when he heard this.

"The chief manager is an elder, the pillar of my Tang Dynasty, how could I lie to you?" Li Zhen said with a blushing face and a heartbeat, he really didn't lie, there was indeed something wrong with this batch of shells, but the problem was Li Zhen's own ghost.

"I hope so." After speaking, Li Jing led people back to the camp.

Li Zhen continued to walk to the shooting range, and after staying at the shooting range for a day, Li Zhen honestly returned to the barracks - of course, it is impossible to run the first time for such a thing, and it is necessary to come a few more times, and when everyone gets used to it, then take a cold shot and run away, so that the chance of success will be greater.

What's more, it is only late March, and there are still a few days before the beginning of April, if he runs out too early, Li Jing may give up the opportunity to attack Yinshan and look for himself instead - at that time, there were many people who opposed the night attack on Yinshan, because at that time, Jieli Khan had been defeated by Li Ji in Baidao, and had to send Zhi Zhili as an envoy to express his submission to the Tang Dynasty, and in order to appease the Turks, Li Shimin also sent an envoy Hongluqing Tang Jian to visit the Turks.

In other words, at this time, the war against the Turks had achieved its original strategic purpose, so in the face of Li Jing's risky fight, there were many opponents in the Sixth Route Army. However, Li Jing felt that the appearance of the Tang envoy could paralyze Jieli and other Turkic high-level, and at this time, the attack would achieve unexpected results, and maybe he could capture Jieli Khan in one fell swoop.

Historical records also confirm that Li Jing's gambling was right, because of his sudden attack, Jieli was in chaos, and was directly broken through the tooth tent, hundreds of thousands of troops (the Turks are a horse people, many tribes are on the horse for the army, dismounted for the people, so ordinary herdsmen can also be regarded as soldiers) were either killed or captured, Jieli was also captured alive by Li Daozong's subordinate Zhang Baoxiang at the crossing, and the Eastern Turks perished.

But now the situation is very different, if Li Zhen escaped too early, maybe Li Jing will give up this golden opportunity and search for himself instead - Li Zhen is not willing to become a sinner through the ages.

In the next few days, Li Zhen was still like that, going to the shooting range in the morning to teach the artillerymen to shoot, and waiting until the afternoon when it was almost time to eat. But the more he is like this, the more Li Jing's worries increase, because Li Zhen's performance during this period of time is too abnormal, but this anomaly still appeared when he was about to sneak attack Yinshan - if there is no implication in this, Wei Chigong will not believe it (Wei Chi Jingde: Why me again?). Zhao Bensan: The main thing is to increase the chance of your old appearance, boy, this is also for your good. Wei Chi Jingde: That's right, but I still feel that something is wrong. Zhao Bensan secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat).

So in order to avoid any surprises in his strategic intentions, Li Jing made a decision......
