The smoke is everywhere, and the mountains and rivers have begun to boil, on the occasion of the five-year blizzard of Zhenguan. In the distant frontier, the arrogant alien race once again stepped their iron hooves into the land of the Central Plains, and the rough blades in their hands were once again stained with blood, dripping with the blood of the hot-blooded men of the Tang Dynasty. This made Li Er, who was sitting on the nine-dragon chair, angry, has the majesty of the Tang Dynasty been forgotten by these things that do not have a long memory? Or do they have something to rely on? Li Er had to think clearly, this big war together, then it will cost countless national funds, the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, although the Tang Dynasty has had a better life in recent years, but it has not yet reached the point where it can support a large-scale war.

"Your Majesty, this Tuguhun is really hateful, the old minister is willing to lead 100,000 troops to wipe out this little barbarian state from this heaven and earth!" After Qu Tutong came out of the ranks, he went straight to Li Er.

"It's not right, it's not right! Thinking about that Tuguhun, it is just a small state of more than 100,000 people, but it has been entrenched in the border of my Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, what do they rely on? The former Sui had suppressed this small country to the brink of extinction, but it still allowed it to revivenation. Have you thought about this qiē? What did they rely on to escape such a blow? "The eldest grandson Wuji has a worried face, this Tuguhun is a piece of kraft candy, and it is difficult to entangle. You can't beat you to death, as long as you slow down, you will pounce on you like a vicious dog and bite you.

"As far as Wei Chen knows, this Tuyuhun relies on two pieces of land, that is the land on the two plateaus, that land has a curse, the elite troops of our Central Plains Kingdom have greatly reduced their combat power when they reach it, but their Tuyuhun people are not affected, so as long as they can't afford it. They would retreat to these two lands to recuperate, and once they had enough energy, they would resurge. Fang Xuanling knows a lot. It's not that he has any special sources, but that this qiē standing in this palace knows everything. But those generals were already dazed by the provocation of this small fanbang.

"Is that so? I don't believe it, if my 100,000 Tang elites can't level this small barbarian state, the last general is willing to come and see me! Qu Tutong, a stubborn guy, came back to his senses at this time, but he still insisted on his opinion.

As a military general, he is naturally indignant at this kind of little barbarian who dares to invade the Tang Dynasty, and not exterminating it is not enough to calm the anger in his heart. This is also the unanimous opinion of all the military, in their dictionary, as long as it is an alien man who is taller than the wheel, he is an enemy. The women and children may be taken back as slaves, but the men must be slaughtered.

"General Qu, can Datang afford such a war now? And if the trip is successful, what if it doesn't go well? Let me Tang Erlang's blood stain the field, but I failed to wipe out that little Fanbang, isn't this a big joke? At that time, General Qu, what is the point of you coming to see you? Wei Zheng said bluntly.

"Lord Wei, this is a bad statement! Why do you only care about growing others' ambition and destroying your own prestige? How many soldiers and horses are there in Tuyuhun? There are only more than 100,000 people in the small tribe, and there are only 100,000 soldiers in the whole people, how can my Tang soldiers not be able to compare with that group of rabble? Hou Junji took advantage of his daughter's relationship at this time. Once again, he returned to the court, and his daughter had already set a marriage date with the crown prince Li Chengqian, and was about to marry into the East Palace to become the prince's side concubine. And the decent princess is Su Yuan, the daughter of the university scholar Su Yan. But no matter what, Hou Junji once again stood in the Lizheng Palace. He became one of the top decision-makers in Datang. This time, he is also in favor of sending troops, because there will be no more wars within Datang now, this is the consensus of everyone. As a result, the role of civil ministers is much greater than that of military officials, and most of the internal affairs are still civil officials. So if there were no more foreign enemies. Then it is not far from the storage of the sword soldiers, and the horse is not far from Nanshan.

So as a military general. It's really the most boring and frightening thing about this kind of idle and marginalized life. In the past, there was a family of people who restrained Wenchen's hands and feet, and many things this group of sour Confucians did not have so much power, but now the family has actually withdrawn from the court, and these rotten Confucians are in charge of most of the power of the court, and the life of the military generals has passed tightly. If there is no more fighting, I'm afraid ...... So this time, all the generals hugged together, obviously making up their minds and definitely fighting a battle. Show a sense of zài, otherwise those guys who think about it all day long will start stabbing them.

Li Kuan didn't know about the dispute in the court, he was now fighting in the mountains with knee-deep snow, a large group of people were trapped in the mountains, no one expected this heavy snow to be so heavy, when they woke up, they found that the tents were a little overwhelmed by the snow and could not support it. So he cleared the camp and began to drive out of the mountain. Advancing slowly along the way, because of the heavy snow, a lot of things were buried, so the group walked tremblingly. Not to mention anything else, the countless big pits and small holes in this mountain have become nightmares one by one, under the white snow, a white and flat very. But under the snow, the traps were hidden by the calm on the surface, and it was impossible to guard against them.

The army slowly cleared a way in the mountains, and one by one the soldiers shoveled away the snow, revealing the dark surface below, and only went forward after making sure that there were no traps below, and walked like this for three days, and everyone was sweating for three days.

"It's almost out of the mountain, if it weren't for this snow, we would have been able to go home in time for the New Year, but now it's almost up!" Xue Wanche misses the kid at home a little, he has had a wife and children for most of his life, but he doesn't know where he went in the bloodshed that year, he has been looking for it all these years, but he has not gained much. Now that he has a half-sized son, he really regards this guy as a son in his heart.

"Old Xue, homesick? It can't be thinking about women! Liu Wei joked on the side, he always had to find something to say in the boring snow shoveling march, otherwise he would have to suffocate to death.

"You kid just thinks about women, don't you know that little guy is really a good seedling! I dare say that this kid of mine will definitely be a hero on the battlefield in the future! Xue Wanche thought that Di Renjie's little guy was only seven years old and could already move a twenty-pound stone lock, and he couldn't help but be very proud. You must know that this is a trick, not lifting or lifting, but holding the stone lock with your left hand and right hand like yourself and others, throwing it to the sky, and then catching such an action, it can be called playing.

"So what, now there is no war, it's not ......" Liu Wei knows a lot about the current shape of the Tang Dynasty, knowing that when he was sent out to go undercover on the side of Li Kuan, the king of Chu, the Tang Dynasty was still peaceful, none of the four Yi dared to provoke the Tang Dynasty, and those families in the country shrunk, and there were some other things, as the leader of Li Er's guard, he also knew a lot.

"So what, if there is no war now, it doesn't mean that there will be no war in the future, and you don't want to think about who are the people and countries around us in Datang, and there will be fewer wars in the future?" Xue Wanche is very far-sighted, and his son (he has already accepted Di Renjie as his adopted son) is still young. When he grew up, it happened to be the time when the Tang Dynasty was strong, and it would be strange not to surrender to Siyi at that time.

For the Li family, Xue Wanche knows too well, today's saint is a super killer, and there are thousands of people killed by himself, not to mention those who were indirectly defeated and killed by him, so for an emperor immediately, war is the most memorable memory in his life, so when dealing with foreign enemies, such emperors often wave their seals and face each other with swords. Such an emperor is also the favorite of the generals, because if there is a war, there will be military merits, and there will be military merits, so what high-ranking officials are generous, and what wives and sons are all in the background.

After trekking in the mountains for five or six days, the dry food they were carrying was exhausted, and the hungry soldiers became the nemesis of the animals in this mountain forest. The whole mountain forest became the target of their hunting. When Li Kuan saw this scene, he knew why the animals on the earth were extinct. Because human beings are so good at eating, just like these gang of killers, all of them are even nests. They don't know what sustainable development is, as long as they can eat, regardless of age, they all get it back first, and only when they are full will they have the strength to shovel snow.

When I walked out of the Qinling Mountains, it was already two days before the Shangyuan Festival, and two days later it was Shangyuan, the festival that the Tang people paid the most attention to. Speaking of which, this is a bit contradictory to the most important Spring Festival in Li Kuan's heart, but this qiē is actually reasonable, the Spring Festival was celebrated only during the Republic of China, and in the Tang Dynasty, this day was not the Spring Festival, but called the New Year, and the New Year was like passing the pass. Because of the low productivity, the peasant people, that is, the peasant households, who live on the barren land, have no surplus grain. And many farmers will also owe some rent to the owner's family, and this time of year is the time for the owner to go to the tenant's house to collect the arrears of land rent. Therefore, this time is like a barrier for the people, and another year has passed, and if it can't pass, it will be called a sad year.

"Let's go, go back to camp!" Li Kuan looked at Chang'an City, which showed the slightest outline in the snow, as well as those dark streets and alleys, and ordered to return to the camp.

In the Royal Horse Farm, the war horses are quietly eating grass in the stable, and all the war horses are very miraculous, chewing the beans in their mouths, and the war horses snort from time to time.

......The rallying cry sounded again, and the sound of footsteps in the camp gradually approached, and a trotting group of soldiers came over like this, moving in unison, and the queue was horizontal and vertical, as if they had been measured with a tape measure.

"Report to the general, the guard of the King of Chu, it should be 1,232 people, but it is 1,232 people, the report is complete!" In less than five minutes, that is, one-third of the tea time of this era, the team of more than 1,000 people completed the whole team, and Liu Wei reported to Li Kuan.

"Not bad!" Li Kuan was a little satisfied, with such a speed of assembly, he was almost able to react when the enemy attacked the camp, which was one-fifth of the initial achievement of the goal he wanted. I saw that the soldiers were wearing dark armor, holding a horse lance with a cold light flashing, and a long horizontal knife at their waists, all their spirits and spirits came out, compared to the previous twisting and twisting queue, now giving people a strong and erect sense of momentum. (To be continued......)
