A few days later, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin sent an edict from the messenger: the Tang Dynasty and the Turks negotiated peace, ordering Li Jing to abandon the attack on the Turkic Dingxiang Khan Tent and lead the army back to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing took the edict and asked Su Dingfang: "Dingfang, this battle ends like this." What do you think? ”

After thinking deeply, Su Dingfang replied: "In this battle, whether it is my Tang Dynasty or the Turks, the intelligence work is not good. If my Datang intelligence work is done well, there will be no Turks who will drive straight into the city and directly attack the capital of our Tang Dynasty, resulting in a situation where my Datang has been very passive from the beginning; And the Turkic intelligence work is also very bad, hearing Li Yi's words, did not send scouts into the Tang Dynasty, even dared to directly raise the country's troops through the secret passage to attack the Tang Dynasty, to the Tang Dynasty Chang'an City, not to mention the intelligence investigation, completely blind, completely rely on estimation and calculation, calculate the strength of my Tang Dynasty, until the final withdrawal of troops is not clear that the Tang Emperor's capital Chang'an is actually an empty city, everything is the bluff of His Majesty the Tang Emperor and the ministers, the trick of the eyes. Those who use troops should attach importance to intelligence exploration, and accurate intelligence is the first step in using troops. ”

Li Jing nodded in silent approval.

Su Dingfang continued: "The defeat of the Turks this time was due to the discouragement of the army and the disunity of the people. Jieli Khan has the ambition to dominate the world, but the generals only have the heart of profit, and the generals are not single-minded, which is a taboo for the use of soldiers; And I, Datang, are united in our hearts, hating the same enemy, and unanimous with the outside world. Not only did he not retreat from the defense, but he also took the initiative to attack, and finally completely stunned the Turks, and he couldn't figure out the reality of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the 'people's war' and 'guerrilla warfare' proposed by King Yong'an were truly excellent countermeasures at that time. The principle of defeating the strong with the weak and the flexible and changeable tactics really make me admire, and I hope to be able to read and learn from them. ”

After Li Jing heard this, he smiled wryly. It is said that the two pamphlets "People's War" and "Guerrilla War" were written after His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty repelled the Turks. As soon as he saw King Guande and Li Xiong, the head of the Li clan of Longyou, Sun Wuji, the chief of the Guanlong aristocracy, directly took it away and deposited it in the royal secret file. Not only do you set a direction to read and study, but even if you want to read and study yourself, I am afraid that there will be no chance. Fortunately, these two pamphlets let Li Xiong and the eldest grandson Wuji go through it once, and Li Xiong, the king of Guande and the head of the Li clan of Longyou, had a good relationship with him, so it was up to him to see if he could tell him what he remembered. These two military books are priceless good things, but in the face of the old fox of Li Xiong, the king of Guande, it is estimated that he will have to pay a lot of price.

Su Dingfang's performance. Li Jing was very satisfied. In just a few days of study, you can see the essence of things at a glance and see the crux of things. If he can train Su Dingfang to become a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, deter the surrounding countries, and ensure the peace of the people of the Tang Dynasty for decades, wouldn't it be indispensable? Isn't it much better than choosing not to offend the wealthy people of Shandong?

In the early morning of the second day, Li Jing led the army back to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

After more than half a month of arduous trekking, Li Jing led the army back to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Su Dingfang followed Li Jing back to Li Jing's mansion in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The old housekeeper of the Li Mansion led the subordinates of the Li Mansion to greet him outside the gate of the mansion.

Just entered the gate. The old housekeeper of the Li Mansion asked his subordinates to close the door of the mansion according to the custom.

Li Jing stopped and directly dissuaded: "Don't turn it off, it doesn't matter if it's day or night in the future." Don't even turn it off. Let it stay on. ”

The old housekeeper was stunned, but still reopened the door of the mansion according to Li Jing's instructions.

When you enter the house, you will be greeted by a wall.

The walls are made of bricks. It is divided into three parts: seat, body and top. The base is thick and carved with lotus motifs, and the top of the wall is paved with green tiles. It forms a ridge shape, which can shelter from the wind and rain, and is carved with auspicious patterns on the wall. The whole wall is beautiful and generous, which plays a good role in blocking the wind and blocking the line of sight.

Before Li Jing looked at the wall, he paused slightly, pointed to the wall and said, "Remove this wall." ”

The old butler hurriedly walked over and said, "General, this, is this okay?" This wall is used to block the movement of the outside peeping into the courtyard. Now that the gate of the mansion is not allowed to be closed, this wall will be demolished again, so in the future, the big and small things of our Li Mansion will be clearly seen by outsiders. ”

Li Jing said helplessly: "Tear it down." Even if I keep it, people outside will still know about the big and small things in my Li Mansion. In that case, what's the use of keeping it? ”

The old housekeeper had no choice but to let his subordinates demolish the shadow wall.

In Li Jing's study, Li Jing and Su Dingfang sat opposite each other.

Su Ding asked Li Jing: "Teacher, why did you leave the door of the mansion open and the shadow wall demolished?" In the capital, but no one has ever done this? ”

Li Jing said with a gloomy face: "Throughout history, many famous generals have not died on the battlefield, but unjustly died in the court battles of deceit. There is nothing to be afraid of as a teacher, but the court that is deceitful is not what the teacher is good at. is a high and powerful division, in charge of the military power of the army, and is not a confidant like today's son, now he can only meet frankly in order to protect himself. The door of the mansion is open and the shadow wall is demolished, so my Li Mansion will no longer have any secrets to speak of. The people who enter and leave my Li Mansion will be known to all the people of Chang'an City. I showed my sincerity, Your Majesty will also relax my monitoring a little, after all, I am an auxiliary general with a large army, Your Majesty is a generation of heroes, and he has been in charge of the army for a long time, I don't show my sincerity, Your Majesty is afraid that you will not be at ease when you sleep at night, even if you wake up in the middle of the night, I am afraid that the first thing is to ask me about my movements. Now, I have done so, expressing my sincerity, Your Majesty can sleep peacefully, and I don't have to sleep anymore, for fear that I will be unjustly killed by Your Majesty in my sleep for no reason because of Your Majesty's jealousy. So much better! ”

After listening to Li Jing's explanation, Su Dingfang was stunned.

Li Jing continued: "If you are a general, you will be in charge of the army. Without military power, it is impossible to make contributions and become famous in the world. And once you hold the military power, it will inevitably be feared by the emperor, after all, the military power is the guarantee of the emperor's throne, and if you lose the military power, you will lose the emperor's throne. Therefore, there must be a tacit understanding, a kind of trust, between the general and the emperor. The emperor calls this kind of trust the loyalty of the general, but loyalty is the most difficult thing to judge. If the monarch and the minister are concentric, the profit will be cut off, and the monarch and the minister will be suspicious, and both will lose. Those who are kings must not learn from them, and those who are generals must not be ignored. (To be continued......)
