Li Shimin's words are domineering, and in fact they are the same. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoMany years ago, after the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, for the stability of the north, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was able to completely expand its hands and feet in the Western Regions. They needed a presence that could intimidate the tribes of the northern steppes.

Yi Nan's attitude towards the Tang Dynasty at that time was like a docile dog, very pious, and Li Shimin canonized him as the true pearl Viga Khan and supported him as the overlord of the north.

The nations of the steppe are brave and good at fighting, and only with absolute strength can they be called hegemons. At that time, Xue Yantuo's strength was not considered strong, and without Li Shimin's covert support, he would not be qualified to dominate the northern land.

Now that the dog has grown up and has become rebellious, Li Shimin, as a dog breeder, should prove it to the world with practical actions. In the past, Datang was able to easily lift Xue Yantuo, and today Datang can easily destroy him.

The matter of sending troops to Xue Yantuo was decided in private.

One day later, Li Shimin personally discussed the issue of Xue Yantuo with the ministers in the court.

The military generals of the Tang Dynasty, who can be among the court, there is no easy person, they are all brave and good at fighting or wise generals, in the face of Xue Yantuo's arrogance, there is no second word, only fighting.

The Wenchen of the Tang Dynasty was also very backbone. Although they did not like war, and often said that internal governance was more important than expanding their territory, they would never allow anyone to provoke the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. They didn't let the dog ask for a bite and couldn't bite the dog back, Xue Yantuo dared to use troops against Datang, okay, fight. It's really hard to bite a dog if you let it bite, but as a human being, you can beat a dog to death with a stick.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who have always looked at each other unpleasantly, were like a hemp rope tied together when the majesty of the Tang Dynasty was provoked.

Cheng Yanjin, who specializes in disagreeing with Wenchen, is intimate with the group of indignant Wenchen at this moment, like a pair of close friends, and in the condemnation of one person and one sentence, the matter of sending troops to Xue Yantuo is given.

The matter of sending troops to Xue Yantuo is ironclad, but starting a big war does not mean that the troops will be mobilized, and it is also necessary to reserve grain and grass, prepare strategic materials and other things, and often it takes more than half a month to transfer grain and grass from all over the country.

Since he was not in a hurry to fight, everything moved slowly.

On this day, Du He took something and went to Li Shimin to offer treasure.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law has recently made up a new gadget, which will have a miraculous effect on the upcoming Northern War." Du He held a pair of black sheepskin gloves in his hand and handed them to Li Shimin.

The shape of the glove palm, the structure is simple, and you can know the use at a glance, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, he put the palm into it, felt the effect, nodded and said: "This little thing is good, the bitter cold in the north, there is a glove called this, which can save our soldiers from freezing, good things, good things." But...... It can't be used on the battlefield, wearing gloves, the hands are warm, but the sword can't be held. He quickly recognized the shortcomings of the gloves.

Du He said with a smile: "This point is naturally also included in the thinking of the son-in-law. The glove has a small mechanism, and the upper part of the knuckle can be removed, so it does not prevent the warriors from killing enemies on the battlefield. In peacetime, you can keep warm with your entire glove, but in wartime, you can kill an enemy by removing your knuckles in the blink of an eye. He walked up close and demonstrated it himself.

This kind of glove is often used when I was a student, especially when it is cold to do homework, and the exposed five fingers can make it easier to use various pens.

Li Shimin wore gloves and wrote a few words with a brush, seeing that he was not affected, he was overjoyed, and he was not even affected by the fine work of writing, let alone dancing with knives and swords, "Good things, indeed good things......

He was full of praise, but his eyes turned around Du He, and asked thoughtfully, "You kid seems to know that I plan to send troops in winter?" ”

Du He grinned, raised his head and replied: "This is a matter of course, the purpose of provoking my Datang twice is nothing more than to fight with my Datang early." It's the end of summer, and if you send troops at this time, you will start fighting in the fall. Autumn grass and trees are abundant, the so-called autumn high season, horses, cattle and sheep are strong, and the grassland people at this time are particularly powerful. I, Datang, am naturally not afraid, but I can't fall for their tricks. In winter, the north is cold, but the grass and trees are withered, although the environment is harsh, but it is undoubtedly one of the opportunities to send troops. ”

Recently, he had been thinking about attacking Xue Yantuo, and felt that it was unlikely that he would send troops in the autumn. Because he has been to Xue Yantuo, he knows that Xue Yantuo has always been in awe of the Tang Dynasty, although Yi Nan has long been opposed, but he clearly understands the power of the Tang Dynasty. Without enough strength, he never dared to touch this giant of Datang. It can also be seen from the attitude of Yi Nan and Da Du to Du He at that time. According to their hearts, Du He also used the strategy of bluffing to make Xue Yantuo obedient for more than half a year.

Now that they are openly enemies of Datang, it is obvious that someone has already told Yi Nan that Datang has already sharpened his knife and looked north, and it was only because of grain and grass that it was postponed for a year. Now that Xue Yantuo realized the plan, he decisively sought war, intending to take advantage of the great season of autumn.

Du He knew that Li Shimin, Li Ji and others were the kind of generals who had experienced a hundred battles and would not be easily deceived, so winter was the best time, but the cold in the north was a great test for the quality of the soldiers. At this time, he discovered that the Tang Dynasty unexpectedly did not have gloves for heating.

So, there was the above scene.

Li Shimin looked approving, nodded and said: "You guessed right, I plan to send troops in winter, and the winter environment is harsh, but my Tang Dynasty uses the government soldier system, and the soldiers and horses mobilized are also northerners, they are all adapted to the cold, and they will not lose to Xue Yantuo." On the contrary, because of the harsh environment, the horses and sheep that Xue Yantuo relies on for survival will be greatly harmed, and they can take the initiative strategically. However, are you really sure you want to participate in this Northern Expedition? ”

Du He looked surprised, he never thought that Li Shimin would "abandon him" at this time, and shouted in a low voice: "No, isn't it that my father-in-law doesn't plan to let my son-in-law fight?" I lost my son-in-law, and I was full of expectations......"

Li Shimin said: "I have countless generals in the Tang Dynasty, not one of you, Changle is pregnant, as your first child, you are a first-time father, don't you want to see him born with your own eyes?" ”

"This ......" Du He was stunned, suddenly understood, and said with a puffed chest: "This naturally can't be missed, but Changle is pregnant around June and July, even if he wants to give birth, it will be in April or May of the next year, and there are a few months of time, as long as Xue Yantuo is swept away in these few months, he will not be able to catch up with the birth of the little guy." ”

Li Shimin raised his head and laughed: "I like your arrogance, okay, I agreed." But this ugly thing is ahead, if you can't catch up with the birth of my grandson, I will skin you ......."
