Du He came to Xue Yantuo and did not tell the general his true intention, Xue Rengui, Luo Tong, and Xi Junmai were not stupid, and they also knew that Du He must have a heavy burden on his trip. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but they are all the kind of rigorous hot-blooded soldiers, they didn't ask in detail about their intentions, and they didn't need to know the heavy responsibilities on Du He, but as long as he gave an order, they would go to the soup.

Now Du He will tell them that the three of them are shocked.

They didn't know the details, and naturally they didn't think that what Du He said was false, as the three generals who were eager to show themselves on the battlefield and establish meritorious deeds, they all showed flying looks and were excited. Among them, Xue Rengui is the most, after all, he is still a rookie who has never been on the battlefield.

However, soon the three generals calmed down, and Xue Rengui was still the first. Although he was the most excited, his calm heart was even higher than the two generals, and he took the lead and restored his calm. He knew that Du He would not take the liberty of telling them the task, and that he must have other orders.

Du He slowly continued: "Along the way, you should also have your own experiences. Xue Yantuo has developed so far, with as many as 300,000 troops, and his strength has faintly threatened my Datang. They are like a tiger cub, if they are not punished, in time and my Datang will become a situation where two tigers will compete. His Majesty had the foresight to allow this to happen, so he sent us to bring about a war between the two sides. ”

Xi Junmai was surprised and said: "This fight will be fought, why bother so much." "He has a considerable level of military strategy, but his wisdom in the political arena is zero, and because of this, he was not aspiring in history, until he set a record of 100 horsemen and 10,000 troops, and then came to the eyes of the world.

Du He smiled slightly and explained: "You also know that my Datang has a special identity, I am the overlord of the world, and my every move involves thousands of interests. And Xue Yantuo signed an alliance with my Datang as early as ten years ago, relying on each other for support, and the relationship between the two is an ally. As the overlord of all nations, my Datang attacked the allies, and the impact caused by it cannot be calculated, so I have this trip. ”

Xi Junmai suddenly understood.

Luo Tong and Xue Rengui also nodded one after another.

Xue Rengui frowned and said: "This is more troublesome, we have not been here to Xue Yantuo for a long time, but we all see their attitude, and regard the general as a guest of honor, and they are very respectful." It's not easy to force them to be enemies of my Datang. ”

"Heh......" Du He laughed out loud, glanced at Xue Rengui and said, "Rengui, you are too naïve." In the relationship between countries, interests always come first. What kind of good kind of person do you really think Xue Yantuo? Do you really think that the purpose of attacking the two great generals of Ashina Sheer and Zhifu Sili is only to take revenge on the son of Jieli? ”

Xue Rengui's expression moved slightly after saying this, and he said in disbelief: "Could it be that Xue Yantuo planned all this behind his back?" Aren't they afraid of offending my Datang? ”

Du He sneered: "I'm afraid...... That's for sure. Why don't they want to wait until their strength can compete with my Datang, and then come to fight my Datang? But they are very smart, and they have already seen the upcoming trend between my Datang and them, and know that we will not give them this opportunity. Instead of waiting for my Datang to let go of his hands and feet to clean them up, it is better to strike first and make trouble for my Datang. They don't want to see us merge with Xue Yantuo, and at the same time, Ashina Sheer and Zhi Zhi Sili are quite famous generals in my Tang Dynasty, once they die, it will cause a huge shock, and it can also delay them for some precious time. It's just that...... We have no evidence and cannot identify them as having done it. However, there are some things that do not need evidence, and everyone knows it in their hearts. It is precisely because Your Majesty realized Xue Yantuo's intentions that he sent me to Xue Yantuo...... He was already planning to show his sword to Xue Yantuo, but he lacked a reason to send troops. ”

After he said it in detail, the three generals also understood the relationship between the front and back, and successively considered how to catch Xue Yantuo's handle and make Datang famous.

Du He seemed to have endless words, and after explaining it to the three of them clearly, he continued: "Actually, I already have a case in my heart, since Xue Yantuo has an indescribable and unclear relationship with Mohe Baha, the hungry wolf of Yu Du Jun Mountain, we can use this as a breakthrough to take action. ”

Luo Tong smiled: "I just know that Qinglian can't swallow this evil breath." That Mohe Baha dares to stretch out his claws to my Datang, how can we rest with them? It's just that the terrain of Yu Dujun Mountain is steep, and the thousand soldiers and horses in our hands should be fearless in confronting that gang of thieves on land. But it is not enough to attack the mountain. "He had been in contact with Duhe for the longest time, and knew his mind best, and launched an investigation into Mohbahar's gang long after the incident.

Du He smiled strangely: "With the strength in our hands, it is naturally far from enough to deal with Mohe Baha. But don't forget, we are in Xue Yantuo, and Xue Yantuo has an army of 300,000 people, which is enough to flatten the mountain of Yu Du's army. ”

Luo Tong's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I understand, Qinglian is planning to use Xue Yantuo to deal with Mohe Baha. ”

Xue Rengui said: "Not only that, General Du is killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he used Xue Yantuo to deal with Mohe Baha, and avenged the two generals Ashina Sheer and Zhi Wei Sili. On the other hand, he took advantage of this opportunity to find a reason and excuse for sending troops to Xue Yantuo. ”

"Not bad!" Du He smiled approvingly and said, "Since Mohe Baha has colluded with Xue Yantuo, then there should be some incriminating evidence about Xue Yantuo in his hands." As long as you can smash the cottage of Mohe Baha and capture Mohe Bahar, you can extract something useful from his mouth. ”

He said with a bit of smugness.

Next, Du He chatted with Xue Rengui, Luo Tong, and Xi Junmai indiscriminately, chatting and chatting, with endless words.

The three of them all felt that Du He was a little abnormal, like the eighth woman, and talked a lot.

It was nearly midnight when Du He hung his head and sat down and fell asleep.

Xue Rengui, Luo Tong, and Xi Junmai were also tired, seeing that Du He was already snoring, they glanced at each other, each smiled, and together they carried him to the bed, and walked out of the big tent lightly.

When they walked out, Du He, who had already "fallen asleep", suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashed with brilliance, with a little smile, turned over, and continued to sleep.

At this moment, in the depths of the ground of Duhe's tent, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of Yuwen Bowei and Burt, which shocked the news of the life and death of Xue Yantuo that they had just received, and their faces were pale, obviously frightened.

Due to the seriousness of the matter, Yuwen Bowei was not at ease to hand over the heavy responsibility of eavesdropping to others, so after thinking about it, he decided to personally take charge of the monitoring with Boult.

They act separately and take turns eavesdropping.

Du Ho returned from the banquet, and Boult also went into the secret passage to change shifts with Yuwen Bowei. It happened that the two of them were underground, listening to Du He discuss important matters, and they didn't distinguish between each other, they listened to each other, and memorized every word in their minds.

Seeing that there was no sound on the top, they didn't dare to stop at all, and hurried to find the leader of Xue Yantuo, Yinan Khan.

One after the other, they walked in a secret passage that could only accommodate one person.

The air in the secret passage was not circulated, the atmosphere was dull, and neither of them spoke, but there were huge waves in their hearts.

Boult was the first to bear the pressure and said, "Mr. Yuwen, what do you say...... Is Duhe telling the truth? He...... Will he know that we are underground, deliberately saying that? In a word, it was not because of how good he was personally, nor because he saw through Du He's plan at a glance.

This is the most common psychology of human beings, thinking about the good in everything, that is, self-comfort. Boult was in awe of Datang, so he didn't want to go to war with Datang, so he said so. Even he himself could not have imagined that he would be able to say it in a word.

Compared with Bult, Yuwen Bowei looked much more stable, shook his head and said: "It's unlikely, Du He is not an immortal, how does he know that we are under their feet?" But it is indeed a little suspicious, Du He said in too much detail, and it feels like it tells us everything clearly. This seems to be somewhat out of line with his personality...... Also, you don't notice, Duhe seems to be particularly verbose tonight. Just like the old woman, she can say a lot in a few simple words, which is very weird...... Let me think about it......" He stopped, paused, and said, "Du He's voice is a little impetuous, and a little vague. Did he drink too much at night? ”

Boult thought about it carefully, and Duhe was indeed eating and drinking with open arms at the banquet, so he nodded.

"It's no wonder...... Yuwen Bowei smiled and analyzed: "The mare's milk wine from our grassland is not as good as the wine of the Central Plains, our wine is mainly strong, and the wine of the Central Plains pays attention to mellowness." As far as I know, Du Ho loves to drink Du Kang. Du Kang is not a strong liquor, he can drink a few catties of Du Kang, but he may not be able to drink the same amount of mare's milk wine. He must have been a little drunk...... This different person gets drunk in different ways. Some are sleeping, some are drunk, and some are talking. Du He estimated that it was the latter, because he was drunk, so he said his whole plan inadvertently and without thinking. Originally, he also had some doubts in his heart, but when he thought about it, all the doubts in his heart disappeared.

A drunk person speaks without going through the brain, precisely because it does not go through the brain, and there is no deliberate falsehood.

Burt also persuaded Yuwen Bowei's analysis and dispelled the doubts in his heart.

The two of them didn't say anything more, and walked out of the secret passage quickly.

Yi Nan is talking about Du He with Dadu at the moment, and the former wants to know Du He's attitude towards them from Dadu.

Dadu's truthful statement means that Duhe is not hostile.

Just as they were talking, the news came that Yuwen Bowei and Boult wanted to meet.

Yu Wenbo strode into the Khan's tent and said everything he had heard before with a solemn expression.

Yi Nan and Da Du set their faces became extremely ugly in an instant.

Dadu Shegang also said to Yi Nan that Du He didn't have any malicious intent, and when he heard the truth at the moment, he was so angry that his eyes were full of anger, and he jumped up: "Damn guy, pretending to be so similar, hateful, really hateful." ”

Yi Nan's heart was already flustered, and he said in horror: "Mr. Yuwen, didn't you say that in the short term, Datang will not attack us?" How to ......"

Yuwen Bowei was also surprised, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what the reason is." According to common sense, the Tang Dynasty has launched many large-scale foreign wars in recent years, which should be a big blow to the economy. It will take at least more than a year to recover. The Tang Dynasty should not be able to continue to wage foreign wars, and I don't understand why it is in a hurry to fight now. ”

If Du He was here, he would definitely applaud Yuwen Bowei's remarks.

Yuwen Bowei has real talent and learning, and he knows the biggest difference between nomads and farming peoples.

Nomads can graze, and they only need ten people to take care of more than 10,000 sheep, and more than 10,000 sheep can produce sheep milk to feed more than five or six thousand soldiers every day. That is to say, the nomads only need 100 people and 100,000 sheep to sustain an army of 50,000 for a long time, and they don't have to worry about the grain route at all.

It is no exaggeration to say that from a scientific point of view, goat's milk is known as the "king of milk", and the content of protein, minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus in milk is much higher than that of ordinary food; The content of vitamins A and B is also higher than that of ordinary foods, which has non-negligible benefits for restoring physical performance.

Therefore, the nomads drank a bag of goat's milk and ate a few mouthfuls of barley noodles to maintain their physical strength for a day's fighting.

Not so for the agrarian people. Even if there are 1,000 people, they may not be able to take care of 10,000 sheep.

The departure of an army of 100,000 requires at least 300,000 or 400,000 migrant workers as logistics to sustain a long battle.

This is also the key reason why nomads can fight for long periods of time without any scruples, while agrarian peoples often drag down their countries because of long battles. The death of the Sui Dynasty is a lesson from the past.

The Tang Dynasty experienced the battle of Gaochang in the Western Expedition, this battle was extremely bad due to the long distance and extremely bad geographical location, in order to maintain the grain route, the Tang Dynasty used a total of 500,000 migrant laborers, and spent countless money and grain. Although the war ended early under the prestige of Du He and Hou Junji, the economic grain and grass of the Tang Dynasty were still hit hard.

This is also the key to why reform is needed and a year of development is needed.

Yuwen Bowei can see through this just by speculation, which is not easy.

However, he was only speculating, and he was not sure what the economic strength of the Tang Dynasty was, so naturally there was no way to doubt the truth of Du He's words.

"It seems that I underestimated the economic strength of the Tang Dynasty!" After thinking about it, Yuwen Bowei can only give such an answer.

Yi Nan didn't have the heart to think about it, and said anxiously: "Then what should we do now?" I know Li Shimin, who is not only a great king, but also an excellent general, handsome and talented. He doesn't fight battles that he is not sure of, and since he has decided to send troops, he must have a great chance of winning in his chest. ”

Generously set up a helplessness, and his impatient temperament was also reflected, and when he had nothing to do, he said angrily: "If you are afraid of anything, you will fight." We have an army of 300,000 people, and if we can't win, we can make them pay a terrible price. ”

"No hurry!" Yuwen Bowei raised his hand to stop Dadu's panic, and said in a deep voice: "The Khan and the young patriarch don't need to be too panicked, Du He also made it clear, they are also worried that the Tang Dynasty will not be able to convince the public in the future, and they are unwilling to rashly attack us." We still have a chance, and there is still time...... Here I have two strategies to solve the current problem. ”

Yi Nan, Dadu and others listened one after another.

Yuwen Bowei habitually twisted his goatee and said: "The best policy is to compromise and seek perfection, and take Datang as the first in everything, so that Du He can't find any handle, so that Datang has no excuse to take us under the knife." Although this is a stopgap measure, it can drag on for a few years, giving us the opportunity to contact our allies and work together to deal with Datang. ...... next step" he said here, a chill flashed in his eyes: "Borrow a knife to kill people, and you will plan it!" ”

Yi Nan startled the eight words in Yuwen Bowei's mouth, intellectually he had already chosen the best strategy, but he was looking forward to the upcoming next policy in his heart, he now has a certain strength, and he is really unwilling to continue to let Datang step on his head.

Yuwen Bowei smiled and said, "Didn't Du He say that he would use our strength to deal with Mohe Baha on the mountain of Yu Overseer? We can just plan and send a large army to help him encircle and suppress Mohabahar, and put the army under his command, but secretly inform Mohabahar, reveal the place where Duhe is to Mohabahar, and kill Duhe with the help of Mohabahar's power. He said coldly: "Du He wants soldiers, we will give him soldiers, generals, give him generals." He is the boss, and he was killed by Mohe Baha, and he can only be blamed for his incompetence, and Li Shimin can't blame us, so that I Xue Yantuo can get rid of a future rival and a future henchman. ”

Yi Nan was faintly moved, but he was worried: "Du He is Li Shimin's most trusted son-in-law, so Li Shimin will not give up." ”

Yuwen Bowei snorted and said: "What you want is that he will not give up, and if Li Shimin wants to avenge his son-in-law, he will send elite troops to surround Yu Du Jun Mountain." With the size of Yu Overseer's Mountain, it is just a waste of effort to not have an army of 100,000. As long as Li Shimin has the courage to send these 100,000 troops, we will have the courage to join forces with Mohe Bahari by surprise and annihilate them. The Tang Dynasty was indeed powerful, but between us, this war was inevitable. If we can destroy his army of 100,000 before the official start of the war, we will be able to shorten the gap in strength between us at once. Next, of course, it was an earth-shattering bloody battle. If I Xue Yantuo wins, it means that there is no more heavenly khan in the world, and Xue Yantuo will become the only overlord on the grassland, if he is defeated, it will ...... Naturally, I don't need to say much. ”

Dadu set clenched his fist, his eyes burned with fierce fighting intent, and he said in a deep voice: "Father Khan, anyway, there will be a battle between each other, so why are you afraid of winning or losing?" ”

Yi Nan had already persuaded Yuwen Bowei, he slapped the table in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Just gamble, for the sake of hegemony on the grassland, I choose to make a ...... strategy."

Yuwen Bowei smiled confidently: "Khan is clever, and the best strategy is foolproof, but it is always groveling and making people laugh. The next policy is certainly dangerous, but in fact it is not much harm, even if there is no follow-up, Du He will definitely die. ”
