Inside Li Jing's tent, Su Dingfang was half-sitting opposite Li Jing. Li Jing said to Su Dingfang with a smile on his face: "Dingfang, have you ever led the troops?" ”

Su Dingfang replied cautiously: "Marshal Qiyu, I once led a team of 10,000 people, and I have never led an army of more than 10,000 people. ”

Li Jing smiled even more happily, and said happily: "At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he commanded an army of 10,000 people, which is good, really good." ”

After that, Li Jing asked again: "Have you ever read a book of soldiers?" ”

Su Dingfang replied: "Back then, my father-in-law only taught me to read and write, and he didn't read military books. But I wanted to read military books, and when I was in command of the army, I had a lot of questions, and I couldn't find the answers. I wanted to read military books, but they were precious, and I never had a chance to find them. ”

As he spoke, Su Dingfang scratched his head honestly and showed regret on his face.

Li Jing looked at Su Dingfang's performance, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Su Dingfang was a good seedling and worthy of teaching it himself. But according to Su Dingfang's past performance, Li Jing could see that Su Dingfang was a person with a heart, once when Su Dingfang was asleep, Li Jing heard Su Dingfang shouting a person's name in his sleep, and chanting the word revenge. Li Jing knew Su Dingfang's thoughts, and from the information he obtained, Li Jing knew that Su Dingfang's father-in-law Liu Heimin was really good to Su Dingfang, just like treating Liu Heimin as his own biological son, Su Dingfang also had been haunted by the killing of his father-in-law Liu Heimin, and was always ready to avenge his father-in-law. Su Dingfang is a person who values love and righteousness. This is Li Jing's evaluation of Su Dingfang.

The killing of Liu Heimin, the king of Handong County, as the auxiliary general of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing knew the whole thing. On the surface, Liu Heimin was killed because of the betrayal of his subordinates Chang He, Gao Yaxian, Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, and Zhuge Dewei, but in fact, the black hand behind the scenes is a wealthy family in Shandong that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years.

Su Dingfang will definitely avenge his father-in-law Liu Heimin, and he really likes Su Dingfang, a young man, with excellent character, handling, courage and talent. Once Su Dingfang is accepted as a disciple, then it is bound to stand on the opposite side of the Shandong Hao clan that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, this is a behemoth, protégés, old people all over the Tang Dynasty, secretly controlling the entire land of Henan and Shandong, a thousand-year-old Hao family, one of the three major political forces in the world.

But soon, Li Jing felt relieved. Millennial tycoons? And what about behemoths? Could it be that an excellent soldier is not as good as a thousand-year-old wealthy family? I want to think of Sun Wu, the ancestor of the military family, and leave the Qi country. When he arrived in the state of Wu, he was reused by the then king of Wu (helv) and worshiped as a military advisor. Three years later, Sun Wu and Wu Zixu were worshiped as generals, commanded an army of 30,000, and conquered the powerful Chu State, which had been inherited for more than 800 years, Sun Wu defeated the 200,000 army of Chu State in the Huai River with 30,000 troops, and then defeated the 400,000 army of Chu State in Hanshui, and then. Five battles and five victories, in one fell swoop, broke through the capital of Chu State, Yingdu, and almost destroyed Chu State. The ancestor of the military family, the Chu State has been destroyed in 800 years. Could it be that they, the heirs of the military family, are still afraid of the wealthy family that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years? Don't be the enemy of the heirs of the soldiers! Throughout history, which famous soldier heir did not destroy dozens of countries and destroy hundreds of thousands of enemies? As long as the children of the soldiers have the army in their hands. What is there in the whole world to fear?

Thinking of this, Li Jing said calmly to Su Dingfang: "Dingfang, I want to accept you as an apprentice." Would you like to? ”

Su Dingfang was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and he knew the weight of Li Jing's words deeply in his heart. Li Jing is now the number one famous general in the whole world, leading 3,000 troops from Sichuan and Shu; unified the army of 10,000, captured Xiao Qian, and fixed the south of the Yangtze River; Assist Li Xiaogong, within half a month, kill the rebel Fu Gongyou and stabilize Huainan. This is a great feat, and every battle Li Jing fought was won by less and stronger by the weak, which can be used as a classic example for the ages, and it is worth carefully pondering and studying in depth by every general.

Su Dingfang knelt down excitedly, and saluted Li Jing respectfully: "Apprentice Su Dingfang to meet his teacher." ”

Receiving a good apprentice like Su Dingfang, Li Jing held his long hair and laughed heartily.

At the end of the apprenticeship, Li Jing asked Su Dingfang to set up a small tent in addition to his handsome tent for Su Dingfang to study the art of war and ask for advice at any time.

Soon, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin sent a messenger to send an edict ordering Li Jing to lead the army to attack the Turkic Dingxiang Khan's tent.

Li Jing said to Su Dingfang: "Dingfang, what do you think you should do as a teacher?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Su Dingfang said: "The army is marching towards the Turkic border, but above the border, it will not move. ”

Li Jing said with a smile: "Didn't you go forward secretly and break the Turkic Dingxiang Khan tent in one fell swoop?" ”

Su Dingfang replied: "There are no soldiers in the Turkic territory, and it will not be difficult for the master to attack with the army and break through the Turkic Dingxiang Khan tent in one fell swoop. However, once we break through the tent of the Turkic Dingxiang Khan, the Turks will inevitably break through Chang'an, the capital of our Tang Emperor, and capture and kill His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and hundreds of civil and military officials. Such a lose-lose outcome is very unfavorable to the Turks and our Tang Dynasty, and it is the surrounding Goryeo and Tuyuhun countries that get the benefits. Therefore, I think the purpose of this dispatch is not whether the Turks can break through the tent of the Turks in Dingxiang, but whether they can make the Turks withdraw their troops and relieve the siege of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Jing stroked his long hair, smiled, and continued to ask: "Since the Turks have already hit the city of Chang'an, the capital of my Tang Dynasty, why don't we fight near the Turkic Dingxiang Khan tent, but stop at the Turkic border?" ”

Su Dingfang replied: "This time, the Turkic Jieli Khan attacked Chang'an City, the capital of our Tang Emperor, and he was determined to fight with His Majesty the Tang Emperor for the world. However, this is not the case with the tribal leaders on the Turkic border, whose hearts are far higher than the domination of the whole world. Therefore, as long as our Tang army appears on the Turkic border, dozens of tribal leaders near the Turkic border will shout for Jieli Khan to withdraw his troops, so that we can achieve the goal of relieving the pressure on Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and forcing the Turks to withdraw their troops. ”

Li Jing smiled again and asked, "Then why did you choose the army to stand still on the Turkic border?" Why not break through some of the tribes on the Turkic border? Wouldn't it be better to defeat a few Turkic tribes? ”

Su Dingfang stood up and paced slowly in the big tent: "Lead but not start!" A boulder is hanging high in the air, and there is a dense and crowded crowd below, the boulder falls to the ground, and the number of people who are killed is limited, but as long as the boulder is hanging high in the air, the people under the boulder will panic and flee, and the people who are crowded and trampled to death will die more than those who fall and die than those who fall and fall from the boulder. Now the dozens of tribes on the Turkic border have no army and cannot defend themselves, and for our Tang army, it is like entering a no-man's land. As long as we stand still in the Turkic border, these dozens of Turkic tribes will send dozens of urgent letters for help every day, asking the leaders of their tribes to lead their troops back and save the tribes. In this way, we will be able to achieve our strategic goal of indirectly rescuing Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Jing stroked his long hair and laughed loudly. (To be continued......)
