"I've seen my father-in-law and mother-in-law (father, queen mother)!" The three of them came to the hall and bowed to the most noble couple of the Tang Dynasty who stood on the hall to greet them.

"Haha! My great hero is back, hurry up and excuse me! Li Shimin walked down from the hall with a laugh: "Let me see if you haven't seen you for more than half a year, are you fat or thin!" ā€

Li Shimin seemed very happy because of the safe return of the three of them, he just smiled at Li Chengqian and Princess Changle, and then let the two of them look directly at the "baby son-in-law" who made him worry and fear.

Qin Feng said with a smile: "Only thin but not fat, just 100,000 earth crumbling dogs, not enough for the son-in-law to stuff his teeth, how can he get fat, if he can pacify the Turks for his father-in-law and break through the Western Regions, then he can get fat." ā€

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed loudly: "It makes sense, it makes sense, what is it with just 100,000 Turkic troops." You kid has played so much this time that even I have to worry about you, and you are the first person since I ascended the throne. What shall I give you? He looked at Qin Feng with a smile.

"This ......" Hearing Li Shimin's question, Qin Feng couldn't help but be stunned, he was really afraid of something.

This kind of question is difficult to answer, if the answer is heavy, it is greed, and if the answer is light, it has the meaning of looking down on him, he pondered for a moment, but his mind moved, he shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, I don't want anything, I just hope that Dali Temple, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Criminal Department, give me, and even more so to give an explanation to the sacrificed warriors, find out the person who leaked the military information as soon as possible, and punish his family in front of the tombstone of the hero, so as to set an example?" ā€

Mentioning the leakage of military information, Li Shimin's face full of smiles also changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, even if you don't say it, I will find out and give an explanation to the sacrificed warriors." ā€

As soon as Qin Feng interjected like this, Li Shimin was no longer entangled in the matter of rewarding, Qin Feng saw this, he was greatly relieved, he was too young, and he was already the first leader of the Tiger Army, which was already a reward against the sky, if he went further, it would be the secretary of the military department, if he really became the secretary of the military department, then he would not offend the generals? It seems that being too high-profile is not good.

At this time, Empress Changsun took Princess Changle away with interest, and wisely left time and space to three men, one big and two young.

"The combat effectiveness and will of the Tiger Ben Army are beyond my expectations, and they are not far behind my Xuanjia soldiers, this time you have really worked hard."

Qin Feng also said modestly: "The Tiger Ben Army is indeed very strong, but this is already the limit, if there is another battle, I estimate that the whole army will be wiped out." Father-in-law, after this battle, the Tiger Ben Army lost nearly 4,000 people, which is already half of the strength of the Tiger Ben Army, and all the people who are alive are also slightly injured, if they don't rest for a month, they can't recover to their peak at all. This time, the Tiger Ben Army has reached the point of breaking its muscles and bones, and elite people are easy to find, but it is impossible to build such a 10,000-strong team with one heart and full of tacit understanding before, and it will not be able to achieve it without time and accumulation. I am also smart but I was mistaken by cleverness, and I lost a big one because of a small one. ā€

"Oh? What is a small loss? Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"This battle is a small matter, and the destruction of Jieli is a big thing, with the current situation of the Tiger Army, I am really afraid that I will miss this battle to destroy the country. Jieli, the eight lambs of the king, has miserably harmed us, and I will not kill him, capture him alive, and swear not to be a man. Qin Feng said hatefully.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Ambition is commendable, I will give you this opportunity." ā€

At this time, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who was dark and thin, but heroic, with a trace of murderous aura, and smiled with great satisfaction: "Qian'er, it seems that the battlefield is really a place where people have passed through, this time, you have changed a lot, and you are becoming more and more like a prince, haha, okay, you are very good, you are worthy of being my Li Shimin's son." ā€

"Thank you for the compliment!" Li Chengqian did not go through a big war, but he also participated in all the wars of slaughtering small and medium-sized tribes, and he was also like a soldier, under the escort of the Xuanjia army, he killed people and saw blood. At first, he was a little unbearable, but later, he was also numb, and under Qin Feng's indoctrination, he became more and more hawkish.

"Shame on the child." Li Chengqian was very excited when he was recognized and praised by Li Shimin, but when he thought that he had left the Tiger Army at the most critical time, he was very ashamed in his heart, and he had a feeling of not being ashamed of himself.

"No, no, no!" Li Shimin's eyes were like lightning, how could Li Chengqian's little thoughts be hidden from him? "I especially appreciate that you can follow your brother-in-law's arrangement and retreat decisively."

"Huh?" Li Chengqian was dumbfounded, a little frustrated and a little self-deprecating: "Erchen is a deserter, what is there worthy of his father's appreciation." ā€

Li Shimin said with a straight face: "Qian'er, you are wrong. If you don't retreat, if you fall into the hands of the Turks, it will not be a matter of 10,000 tiger troops, but the lives of 100,000 or millions of Tang people. Your brother-in-law divided half of his troops to escort you south when he was in danger, in addition to not worrying about the combat strength and will of the border army, he knew that in this war, including your brother-in-law, everyone can sacrifice, but you can't, so there is such an arrangement. Feng'er, am I right? ā€

"Father-in-law is wise."

Am I so noble? How did I not know?

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then there was another picture of light clouds and light winds, and the hero's demeanor was slightly the same.

"What will I do if you fall into the hands of an adversary? The only way to do this is to negotiate and let Jieli set conditions. In this way, I am in a dilemma, if I agree to a series of harsh conditions for your sake, the subjects of the world will think of me like this? If I don't agree, how will the subjects of the world think of me? ā€

Li Chengqian seems to understand whether he understands or not, and he looks like he has realized something.

Li Shimin smiled with relief: "You will understand later." ā€

"Yes, if you don't retreat, if you want to be a hero, I really don't dare to let go and fight, so your retreat, not only is there no fault, but it is meritorious, because your departure has made me have no worries."

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "Is this retreat still meritorious?" ā€

"That's right, a big credit."

Qin Feng said with a smile: "Of course, what I said is only this time, and it is also because you have met the strong-willed Tiger Army, if all I lead is a border army, you really can't retreat, once you retreat, the army will be discouraged, and you will be defeated without fighting." Retreat depends on the situation, and if you blindly retreat when you see that things are not good, then you are a deserter. ā€

"Thank you for your advice." Li Chengqian's eyes flashed, and he understood a lot.

Li Shimin laughed, and said impatiently: "Don't mention this matter, Feng'er, first tell me how you used 10,000 soldiers to break the Wumeng, Dingjieli reinforcements, and slaughter the Wumeng tribe?" By the way, and how did you control the Fire Bull Formation, and how did you come up with the idea of using sheep to break the enemy. The battle report is too brief, and I don't know a lot about it. I want to know how you fought this beautiful battle. He pulled Qin Feng with one hand and Li Chengqian with the other to an empty room, where there was a large hair sand table, almost all of which made out the terrain at that time.

Qin Feng smiled in his heart, he knew that Li Shimin was not only a Ming Jun but also a military fan, and he was very good at marching and fighting, and only Li Jing could really compare with him in the Tang Dynasty, even Li Ji might not be comparable to him.

"Father-in-law, in fact, my playing style can be summed up in eight characters." Qin Feng, who intended to hang Li Shimin's appetite, said with a smile.

Li Shiminqi asked: "Which eight characters?" ā€

"Insidious, simple, direct, brutal!"

Li Shimin almost burst out laughing, and Qin Feng was the only one who said that he was insidious. Seeing that he deliberately took it, he said with a blank face: "I know that you are insidious, I want to help you to see if there are any shortcomings, so as not to suffer next time." ā€

"Father-in-law, I won't tell you. I am a particularly insecure person, so when I am clever or suddenly uncertain, I think of my current situation and the situation of my loved ones, and this time, it is because of my restlessness that I have saved everyone's lives. It is precisely because of my lack of security that before the march, I always do my best to prepare things that can come in handy, such as thistle terrestris, which has made great achievements this time. I don't believe that there is no absolute security in the world, and there are no absolute secrets, especially in the aspect of the march of the army, although a lot of foreshadowing has been done, but I never think that no one is aware of it, so I will think about how to minimize the loss if I encounter an unexpected situation. For the Turks, I prepared a fire bull array this time. ā€

The Li father and son didn't say a word, they listened quietly, they could hear that this was Qin Feng's heart, so they were extremely serious.

"Wait a minute." When Qin Feng talked about the Fire Bull Formation, Li Shimin called a stop, and then said: "The Fire Bull Formation has been extinct since Tian Dan, and many people have tried in history, but everyone has failed, why can you break the enemy army without hurting yourself?" ā€

"Tiandan's fire bull array has no secrets at all, the key lies in a medicine that can control ploughing cattle and horses. And the son-in-law happened to know about this medicine, so it had been prepared before the march, so it came in handy again. ā€

Li Shimin smiled wordlessly, he didn't know why such a complicated matter became so simple once it reached Qin Feng.

"People with excellent medical skills are often masters of drug production, so medical ethics are particularly important, and the son-in-law's medical skills are passable, and it is still okay to make some drugs with special properties. To tell you the truth, I also prepared a drug that would make 100,000 people incapacitated, but then I thought about it and thought about it, but in the end I didn't use it. ā€

"Why?"

"Here!" Qin Feng pointed to his chest and said: "Only when the heart is strong is it really strong, using these small means is not the right way after all, it does not meet the needs of the nation, I expect the Tang Dynasty to be strong from the bones, strong physique, stronger heart, in order to refine the soul of the army, some sacrifices are inevitable." It is true that our Tiger Ben army suffered heavy casualties, but it also inspired the blood and martial spirit of the border army, so from the perspective of the overall situation, it is worth sacrificing some warriors.
