"Am I not qualified?" Changsun Chong wondered, his grade is very low, he only has the part of carrying out orders, not to mention that now he is a soldier of the Huotou Battalion, mainly engaged in logistics, if it is the turn of the Huotou Battalion to fight on the battlefield, it is estimated that the large army will also be scattered.

Li Yexu scratched his forehead, frowned and said: "My grandfather has always been like this, a little uncertain, but you can rest assured, his judgment has always been correct." You think, he's such a busy person, he won't call you over for no reason. ”

The eldest grandson Chong thought about it and said, "Well, then you go back first, and I'll go to the general's camp to have a look." ”

The eldest grandson rushed to Li Jing's tent, Li Jing stood in front of a large map hanging in the tent, noticed that the eldest grandson rushed in and asked, "Virtuous nephew, we will arrive near Dingxiang in a few days, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

If you really asked him to come over to discuss the war together, fortunately I did a little homework yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't know if I didn't know about it, wouldn't I know how to lose face.

Changsun Chong also walked to the map in a big way, pointed at Dingxiang with his finger, and said: "General, I think it is better to attack the Turks from this place, since the terrain here is relatively steep, it is more suitable for building and guarding the city. Although we may lose a lot when we lay this place, it is definitely worth it. ”

Li Jing nodded and said, "You're right, I think so too, it's inevitable to win, what else?" ”

The eldest grandson pointed to other places and continued: "We can lead three thousand elite horsemen from Ma Yi to enter the Evil Yang Ridge, and attack Dingxiang at night, we can easily obtain Dingxiang; General Chai and General Li Ji could encircle, intercept, and defeat the Turkic tribes from both sides. After the Turks lost Dingxiang, although Jieli was defeated, there were still a lot of soldiers and horses under his subordinates, and then he must retreat to the desert to preserve the strength of the Turks. ”

Li Jing listened to it, this tactic was similar to the steps he had practiced in his mind before, and said: "The future is terrifying!" That's a great way! ”

Changsun Chong sighed and said: "Although our method is good, we are afraid that Jieli and other Turkic barbarians will not be able to defeat us, so we will send envoys to Chang'an to sue for peace." As you know, the Han people of the Central Plains have always been a dozen to the grassland peoples. If they couldn't fight, they surrendered, made a show, and declared themselves to the Tang Dynasty, but after the Tang army withdrew and recuperated, it began to sprout solidly. These Turkic barbarians are not a difficult task, at most they can run back on horseback, but how difficult it is for us to send troops once! His Majesty and the courtiers, tightened their belts and saved military funds, and endured humiliation and burdens to start this war, saying that they could not be played by these Turkic barbarians as before. ”

Li Jing's face sank, he didn't know this, but those civil officials who only knew benevolence, righteousness and morality in the court were crooked, and often participated in this book and that one. These military attachés, fighting and killing on the battlefield, holding heavy troops, and the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, even if they are involved, they can't argue for themselves!

"Hey, what you said is very reasonable, I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't be able to stop the justification of those envoys and ministers! You must know that in this Chang'an city, there will not only be Turkic envoys, but also many envoys from small vassal countries, if the Turks all surrender and sue for peace, if we continue to attack, then it will cause resistance from envoys from other countries. After all, there are many people, and they are also the same goods as the Turks. Li Jing sighed and said, force is only one aspect, from the overall situation, His Majesty has to accept the Turkic peace.

The eldest grandson rolled his eyes and said, "General, according to your understanding of Your Majesty, is Your Majesty also like us, and wiped out ** in one fell swoop?" ”

"That's natural, after all, the surname of the Tang Dynasty is Li, and Your Majesty naturally hopes to annihilate the Turks in one fell swoop." Li Jing has been by Li Er's side for so long, and he knows Li Er very well, as long as he has the opportunity, Li Er will get rid of his enemies one by one. However, Li Jing knew that once there was Li Er's holy decree, whether it was Li Er's original intention or not, he would not dare to disobey the holy decree, which would be a crime of killing his head.

"That's it!" Eldest Sun Chong said happily, "I have two ways to achieve my goal. ”

"Oh?" Li Jinghu was suspicious.

"One is that we capture the Turkic envoys and make them unable to reach Chang'an." The eldest grandson said with a smile.

Li Jing was embarrassed: "The vast grassland, the scope is very large, we may not be able to catch the Turkic envoys, not to mention that we need to concentrate our troops, and it is impossible to divide the troops and intercept the Turkic envoys everywhere!" ”

"There is a second one, Your Majesty and the courtiers accept the surrender and peace of the Turks, and give you a holy decree to the general, and we will find a way to make the holy decree come later, and it is best that we will receive the holy decree after we have killed the Turks. In this way, we will not disobey the holy decree, but we can also annihilate the Turks in one fell swoop, and even if those envoys have opinions, but those who do not know will not be guilty, we have not received the holy decree, and we will also act under our orders to destroy the Turks! ”

Li Jing was silent, touched his gray beard, paced back and forth for a while, suddenly stopped, and said, "That's it, but who is the right person to do this job?" ”

The eldest grandson turned his eyes twice, and when he met Li Jing's exploratory eyes, he knew that this old guy wanted to pull Zhuang Ding, so he might as well say generously: "Well, it's up to me!" After all, it would be better for fewer people to know about this matter. Before coming, I received His Majesty's decree that after capturing Dingxiang, my little nephew would stay, govern Dingxiang, and garrison troops in Dingxiang, which is equivalent to getting a few military bases on the grassland, and it is much more convenient to supply all kinds of armies. ”

Li Jing smiled, he looked at the eldest grandson Chong, in fact, he wanted the eldest grandson to come out, after all, he didn't obey the will, this crime, he Li Jing couldn't resist. With the eldest grandson Chong, it will be easy to do, with the eldest grandson queen here, no one can touch the eldest grandson's family, not to mention that among so many courtiers, His Majesty's most trusted is the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Well, that's hard work for you!" Li Jing said happily that this time he could let it go.

The eldest grandson waved his hand and said, "It's not hard, it's all for the glory of the Tang Dynasty." After we take Dingxiang as a base area, the holy decree will inevitably be sent there, and when the time comes, I will find a way to delay, and you will have a few armies, just play things as soon as possible! ”

"The troops led by Wei Xiaojie are stationed in Youzhou, and it will not have any impact on him receiving the holy decree; But Xue Wanche, sniping at the Tuli tribe from the northeast, I can't blatantly send him a message here; There is also Li Daozong from Lingzhou, straight into the clouds, the old man is beyond the reach of the whip, and he can't pass on oral messages, let alone write letters. If they stop or retreat after receiving His Majesty's holy decree, our goal of exterminating the Turks may not be accomplished. Li Jing thought of the two route armies that were far away, which was the key to blocking the escape of the Turkic east and west.

Changsun Chong also felt that it was tricky, thought for a while and said, "General, why don't you do this?" The younger brother wrote a letter to his father, asking him to explain the harm and interests to His Majesty. You also said that Your Majesty hopes to destroy the Turks more than anyone else, and will never let his hard-earned military expenses go to waste, and Your Majesty will definitely arrange for someone to announce the holy decree when the time comes. This achieves the goal without any of us taking the risk. As for the fact that after we destroy the **, we will be happy in our hearts, and as for those who only know how to put benevolence, righteousness and morality on their lips and scold a few words, we all think they are farting! ”
