The fat man did as instructed by Zhang Yi, he did not stay, nor did he leave any traces in Zhangjiazhuang.

Zhang Yi doesn't want outsiders to know that this industry is his, because he knows the importance of this industry in the future, and his cattle farm will become a monopolist in the meat and livestock industry in the future.

The people take food as the sky, food safety is the top priority at all times, if Li Er really wants to do anything to him, or if Li Er oppresses him too hard, Zhang Yi doesn't mind letting the world mess up again.

Once the scale of his cattle farm expands, then the meat supply in the entire Guanzhong region will not be able to escape from the palm of his hand, and when the time comes, who will be able to escape from these people in Guanzhong who eat his Zhang's beef every day?

He could have held these people's lives tightly in his hands.

Don't talk about the ingredients used in the palace are all tested, that thing is useless to Zhang Yi at all, just like he said before, those guards use silver needles to test poison, although it has a certain effect, but Zhang Yi has at least ten ways to avoid this test well, so these are not a problem at all.

In this era of the supremacy of imperial power, the monarch and the ministers had to die, and now Zhang Yi thinks that he was so targeted by Li Er, I don't know what he let him do that day, if he doesn't obey at that time, I'm afraid he will have to make some small moves.

The so-called Zhang Yi directly used this as a means of countermeasures to deal with the crisis that would come at any time.

It is estimated that no one in the entire Chang'an, or even the entire Datang, will have this foresight and know that they can protect themselves through this method.

In the eyes of outsiders, such a cattle farm, everything is for profit, at most it can provide a large amount of meat for the Guanzhong area, which is a good thing for the people, especially those rich and noble, and it is really impossible to think of anything else.

Businessmen put profit first, but who knew that Zhang Yi, a hidden businessman, would have such a heavy scheming and be able to calculate so far.

However, Zhang Yi will definitely rot this idea in his heart, even if he is a fat man, he will not say it, even if he really comes to that step that day, this kind of thing has to be done by himself.

And now, he is waiting for the fat man to help him get his cattle farm up, and there are other aspects, which are also handled by the fat man.

His Zhang Yi's business empire is also gradually taking shape, and even if the identity of Xungui is deprived by Li Er, the energy in his hands is still not to be underestimated.

Looking at the figure of the fat man walking out slowly, Zhang Yi also stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

The opinion in my heart is done, how can I treat myself well, and I am 'overworked' during this time, and I should indeed make up for it.

Zhang Yi walked to the kitchen in a leisurely manner, and at this time, Xue Li, who was in the northeast, was also wandering towards the capital of Goguryeo.

After a period of fierce fighting, the Tang army finally defeated the elite Goguryeo troops that had rushed back from the Silla Starry Night.

And that force is already the only elite army left in Goguryeo, and as soon as that force is defeated, the Goguryeo people immediately hit all the forces to defend the national capital.

No matter how the Tang army insulted them, they just patiently nested in the city and did not come out.

And now, those Goguryeo people concentrated all their forces in the city and held on to wait for the attack of the Tang army.

Xue Li did not advocate a forcible attack, so he spent all these days looking around the capital of Goguryeo to see what breakthrough he could find.

Now, according to their estimates, there are still more than 10,000 to 20,000 regular troops in the capital of Goguryeo, and as for those miscellaneous soldiers and the strong men they have captured to fill the number, I am afraid that there must be 40,000 or 50,000 people, and the total number is still 60,000 or 70,000.

The 60,000 Tang army of the Eastern Expedition, even with Xue Li's 6,000 vanguard army, only had 66,000 people.

And after several major battles, the Tang army also had a lot of losses, especially Xue Li's vanguard army, although they killed no less than 40,000 enemies, but they also suffered more than half of the damage, and now there are only more than 2,000 people left.

The main force of the Tang Army, plus Xue Li's vanguard army, is now only more than 30,000 people, less than 40,000.

Although in terms of combat effectiveness alone, these more than 30,000 Tang Army soldiers can completely destroy the 60,000 or 70,000 people in the capital of Goguryeo, but after all, the number is here, although there are a lot of miscellaneous soldiers in the capital of Goguryeo, but they add some equipment to defend the city, there is still a lot of threat.

One of the Tang Army's major advantages now is their thermal weapons, and Xue Li also wants to use these thermal weapons to open up the situation.

However, things like gunpowder bullets can only be used when the two sides are at war, but now, unless they are willing to pay a little price, gunpowder bullets will not work.

Xue Li also had people try, but as soon as their men rushed to the bottom of the Goguryeo capital, as soon as they entered the attack range of their crossbow arrows, they would attack desperately, and it was difficult to get close at all.

After so many years of operation in the Goguryeo Kingdom, their capital is impregnable, and there will be no shortage of various materials in the capital, even if the Tang army surrounds them for a year and a half, they may not run out of food.

This is also where Xue Li's headache lies.

They had gunpowder shells, but they couldn't use them, they couldn't throw them that far, and if they wanted to get closer, they had to be shot back by the Goguryeo with crossbow arrows.

This situation is very embarrassing, such a stalemate, the disadvantage is the Tang army, their logistics supply is not like the Goguryeo people, the Tang army is now fighting away, all the materials have to be transported from the rear, even if they can capture a little material from the Goguryeo army, but the main use of the army still has to rely on their own supplies.

If it costs so long, it's all about money.

Although Datang is not short of money now, Datang, which has just entered the prosperous era, does not have so much money for them to squander.

So Xue Li had to come up with a better solution, which was enough for him to have a headache.

The Tang army then tried to storm several more times, but it was of little use other than to turn the healthy Tang soldiers into wounded soldiers or corpses.

And at this time, Li Er also gave a death order to the front line, and this battle must be resolved within three months.

Three months, and it's going to be the end of the year.

By this time, it was already autumn, and the temperature had already begun to drop in the Goguryeo territory, and if they could not settle the battle earlier, it would be snowing heavily, and they would hardly be able to fight.

When the time comes, it is not to retreat, and it is not to retreat, and that is the most difficult decision to make.

Moreover, if they are unable to capture the capital of Goguryeo at the end of the year, then the Goguryeo people will be able to recover after a winter of recuperation, and when the Tang army wants to attack them in the spring of the next year, the resistance will be greater.

In a word, the sooner they are taken, the smaller the price paid by the Tang army, and the later they are taken, the greater the cost.

Xue Li thought about the current situation, it was really a big head.

There is no way, I can only send a letter back to Chang'an to ask Zhang Yi for advice.
