Chapter 152: The Conversation Between Father and Daughter
The horseshoe made by Xu Ziling soon spread in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin, who was far away in Chang'an, immediately promoted this technology to the entire army of the Tang Dynasty, and more ordinary people followed suit, and a new industry appeared, which was specially designed for horses.
Xu Ziling's subtle changes to the Tang Dynasty may not be known in a hundred years, and he may be defined as a traitor in the history books.
On 23 November, Li Shimin appointed Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, as the chief of the march of Dingxiang Road, Li Shichang, the governor of the prefecture, as the chief of the march of Tonghan Road, Chai Shao, the assassin of Huazhou, as the chief of the march of Jinhe Road, Li Daozong, the king of the city, as the chief of the march of Datong Road, and Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou, as the chief of the march of Heng'an Road.
The total number of more than 70,000 people in the Sixth Route Army plus 30,000 in Ma Yi, a total of more than 100,000 people officially attacked the Turks in the north, and the 100,000 army was under the unified command of Li Jing!
As soon as Li Jing arrived in Mayi to join Li Zongqing, there was good news from Lingzhou, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, defeated the Turks!
Li Jing, who arrived in Mayi, was in a complicated mood at the moment, when the Xuanwumen Incident occurred, Li Jing did not make an inch, but Li Shimin still trusted himself, the reason why this is the case, maybe Li Shimin is fancy his military talent!
The chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, pacifying Xiao Milling and Fu Gongyou were basically water stations, but this time it was different, facing the vast desert in the north and Li Shimin's trust in himself, Li Jing at this moment only felt that there was a force pressing himself, and this force told himself that this battle must be won!
Li Jing stood at the head of Mayi City, looking at the north, and the complicated look in his eyes was unobstructed.
"Aya, it's cold, let's put on your clothes!" Li Zongqing didn't know when, took a cloak and put it on Li Jing, who was standing at the head of Mayi City.
"Hey, you said that you are a girl's family, why does Your Majesty rest assured that you are in the army? Originally, His Majesty was going to transfer you back to Chang'an, but who knew that Xu Ziling's kid was missing, Your Majesty is now hand-picking you as the military division of my Sixth Army, and now even if Aya wants to transfer you back, it will be impossible! Li Jing looked at the emaciated Li Zongqing in front of him, and his eyes showed a doting feeling.
This little girl is Li Jing's old child, in the Tang Dynasty, the danger of childbirth was already very great, so Li Zongqing was born safely, Li Jing always thought it was a gift from God!
Li Zongqing is not as good as his three elder brothers, this girl's military talent can be regarded as having inherited all of Li Jing's talents, and she faintly surpasses Li Jing's posture.
"Aya, can I ask you for one thing, if the Turks threaten Xu Ziling on the battlefield in the future, can you let the Turks go?" Li Zongqing asked cautiously.
"Impossible! My Datang boy is ready to sacrifice for Datang at any time, and His Majesty has already explained this situation, if it is urgent, you can ignore Xu Ziling's comfort, everything is based on the big plan! Li Jing's father and daughter have always said nothing, so at this moment, Li Jing didn't take any care when he spoke.
…………
"Yawn~" Xu Ziling rubbed his nose, who thinks about himself at night? "Hiss~ It's so cold!"
There is no way to make a fire here, Xu Ziling used a knife to cut a little bit of wolf meat, and then chewed the raw meat, these are all things that special forces have experienced in their previous lives, and Xu Ziling has become accustomed to it.
"I haven't eaten it for a long time, and the taste is a little unfamiliar!" Xu Ziling said to himself.
The wolf skin on the side had been completely stripped and dried by Xu Ziling, he looked at the black horse behind him and the still sleeping Ashina Xingyue, and then looked at the sky, and his heart became more and more worried!
Wrapping the remaining wolf meat in clothes, he put on the wolf skin that had been dried over there, and slowly came to Ashina Xingyue's body.
The girl was quiet now, her body trembling and curled up in a ball.
Xu Ziling touched her forehead, fortunately there was no fever, he took off the wolf skin on his body, and covered Ashina Xingyue again.
The cold wind blew, and Xu Ziling rubbed his arms unconsciously, "It's so fucking cold!" ”
He got up and played two sets of military body punches, but it was useless, and he still felt cold!
Not far away, the black horse lay down beside Ashina Xingyue, and Xu Ziling knew that this loyal horse was shielding its owner from the cold wind!
No matter what, as the so-called friction between the two of them, it is easier to make a fire, well, after the fire, the two of them will not be cold! Thinking of this, he came to Ashina Xingyue and lay down, wrapped his hands around her body, and a light body fragrance came into Xu Ziling's nose.
"Amitofu, Amitabha, Lao Qu is a serious person, a serious person, second brother Xu, go down, go down......" Xu Ziling kept silently chanting in his heart.
Ashina Xingyue's body finally stopped trembling at this moment, and snuggled up in Xu Ziling's arms like a small animal, with a serene smile on her face.
Xu Ziling tightened the clothes and wolf skins on the two of them, after a day of walking, he was also tired, and at the moment he only felt that his eyelids were very heavy, and he fell asleep after a while.
…………
On the head of the city of Mayi.
"It's late at night, go back to sleep!" Li Jing said to Li Zongqing, he felt that this girl had changed a lot when she came out, this girl was arrogant and arrogant before, and she never looked at anyone in her eyes, but why did she keep speaking for Xu Ziling's house today?
"Aye, promise me!" Li Zongqing was still chattering.
"Public and private matters must be clear, this is the truth I have taught you since I was a child, this Xu Ziling has made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but the necessary sacrifice is also a last resort, besides, you must know that the possibility of that kid encountering this kind of thing is very small!" Li Jing said.
"Well...... I hope I'm too careful! Li Zongqing's mind was only slightly relaxed at the moment, yes, Xu Ziling was so shrewd, how could this happen?
After figuring out this layer, Li Zongqing regained his former shrewdness, and his worries for several days were cracked by Li Jing's words!
"Aye, this battle is very difficult, I wonder if you have considered it?" Li Zongqing changed her words and said with the appearance of a strong woman.
Li Jing is very happy with Li Zongqing, this is the attitude that my Li Jing's daughter should have.
Li Jing frowned, and said with a tight face: "Across the desert, the logistics burden is basically equal to zero, Sun Tzu Youyun soldiers have heard of the speed, and they have not seen the coincidence for a long time, this battle, without him, there is only a quick battle!" ”
"Aya is right, but how to use the speed of the army is a problem, we have to fight not only the Turkic army, but also the weather and environment, which are very unfavorable to our army!" Li Zongqing said, "It's good if you can meet the Turkic soldiers, but what if you can't meet them?" What if the Turks don't come into contact with us? ”
Li Jing looked at Li Zongqing, and there was an incomprehensible taste in his eyes.
