On the Tibetan Plateau, Su Dingfang spread out the map in front of him, which was surveyed and mapped from the Western Regions to Tubo.

Take a bite of barley that is a little prickly.

Li Daoyan said again: "The soldiers and horses of the Weifu do not know the plateau climate, once something happens to the army in front, Songtsen Gampo will deal with us." ”

It is obviously unrealistic for the three hundred soldiers and horses in his hands to deal with Songtsen Gampo.

Su Dingfang pondered for a while, "Let's rush to Hehuang first, and then send scouts to investigate the situation." ”

The two discussed for a while, and finally made a decision to send scouts to investigate the situation of the former army.

Only after knowing the situation can you make a plan.

While continuing to rush to Hehuang, Su Dingfang sent more than a dozen scouts and fast horses from the plateau down to investigate the situation one step ahead of the team.

Li Daoyan looked at more than a dozen scouts dressed in the clothes of the Tubo people, and quickly went to scatter in the direction of Hehuang to inquire about the news.

Li Daoyan, who followed his father Li Shentong to fight everywhere in his early years, also knew how to use the art of war.

Su Dingfang is not a child of the clan, he relied on what he learned to have a team of his own soldiers and horses in the troubled times, and after being favored by the general Li Jing, he fought for Li Shimin.

At that time, during the great cause of the year, the rebellion of the army rose up, the Central Plains land of all walks of life against the king rose up, I heard a long time ago that Su Dingfang was young and brave, at the age of twenty years old he was able to lead the army to charge into battle, Handan in a battle he fought against Yang Gongqing in order to protect the township, killed the opponent without leaving a piece of armor, chased the enemy for more than 20 miles, and killed the rebels.

Since then, no one has dared to offend again, and Su Dingfang has become famous since then.

I was unconvinced, and I also admired Su Dingfang.

He is a general who came out of the troubled times, and he has many gaps with him.

After half a month of marching, Su Dingfang walked along the Sugan Lake with his soldiers and horses, and when he saw that a few scouts had returned, he pulled up the reins and stopped the horses.

Li Daoyan, who led the team, grabbed the reins and waved his hand to signal the team behind to stop.

The scout handed over a map, "This is the deployment of Songtsen Gampo's troops, and the rest of the people have gone to find General Niu Jinda's camp." ”

Su Dingfang asked again: "Did any Tubo people pay attention to you along the way?" ”

The scout replied: "We wore Tibetan clothes and spoke Tibetan dialect to ask the herders along the way, and they even pointed us in the right direction. ”

Su Dingfang looked at the deployment of Songtsen Gampo's troops drawn on the map, and said with a smile: "What a Songtsan Gampo, I don't know if I have committed a taboo in the army." ”

After putting away the drawings, Su Dingfang said loudly: "Come here, arrange for Xizuo to disguise himself as a Tubo person to spread rumors in their several camps, and say that Songtsen Gampo wants to sacrifice Tubo pasture to return to the Tang Dynasty." ”

Songtsen Gampo's soldiers and horses were scattered, and now they are divided into three parts, east, west and north, and are slowly encroaching on the Tang army.

The art of war is more than just arranging troops.

He divided his troops into several internal and external difficulties, and the soldiers and horses were far apart, which was the biggest flaw in Songtsen Gampo!

Li Daoyan was curious: "What are we going to do next?" ”

Su Dingfang's jaw is the first to say; "Let's see if General Niu can adapt on the plateau, wait for General Niu's news, and arrest Songtsen Gampo."

On the plateau, it is cold at night, and it is hot and dry during the day.

Su Dingfang kept drinking water, and there were chapped furrows on his cheeks.

Li Daoyan said with a smile: "If we can win this battle, we owe Zhang Yang a big favor." ”

Su Dingfang responded: "If this battle is over, I will let the horse leave the Wei Mansion and be an idler." ”

It is the prime of life, Su Dingfang already has a twilight heart.

Li Daoyan thought that he was also in his thirties, and he looked in the direction of Chang'an, "I don't know how my family is, so I will go home to take good care of my brothers after this battle, and follow the name of my father." ”

In Chang'an City, Lu Dongzan has calmed down these days, as long as they don't make trouble, the Foreign Affairs Yuan doesn't bother to bother with them.

It was that box of gold that was handed over to the court and the central government, which made Xu Jingzong feel distressed.

At the edge of the Qujiang Pond, Zhang Yang sat on the edge of the pool and whispered, "Recently, my daughter-in-law has become more and more fond of eating fish. ”

"Your cooking skills are nurturing, you see that Yue'er is not as thin as she was at the beginning."

Li Shimin's voice came from behind him.

In the water pavilion not far away, the daughter-in-law was giving a lecture to Li Lizhi and Xiao Wu, the princess of Changle.

Zhang Yang sat cross-legged, watching the buoy hanging on the fishing line rise and fall with the water in the pool, "I came to Qujiang Pond to relax during my grounding, Your Majesty won't blame me." ”

Li Shimin walked to the edge of the pool, "You have turned a blind eye to my ban from the beginning, how can you blame it." ”

The water is sparkling, and you can see the fish jumping out of the water and falling back into the pool.

Thinking about it again, Zhang Yang frowned and said, "The box of gold brought by Songtsen Gampo before is now in the hands of His Majesty......

"I've made sure it's not a piece of gold."

Zhang Yang nodded slightly, "Since the gold has also been obtained, Your Majesty does not need to marry the princess to Tubo, I think that this box of gold is just right to pay off debts, as long as you give me the gold, I will return Qujiangchi to Your Majesty." ”

Gold is a good thing, and even the emperor's reward with gold leaves is considered good.

Now the daughter-in-law still carries a gold bracelet from the queen.

If you want to make your family wealthier, gold is a good way to go.

The copper coins in the village are piled up, and these copper coins also demonstrate the strength of Lishan, and the more copper coins are piled up, the greater the power of Lishan to speak economically.

Compared with before, Zhang Yang now cares more about the value of gold and copper coins, but has little interest in silver cakes, and the silver stock in Guanzhong is not high.

Hearing Zhang Yang say this, Li Shimin glanced at Qujiangchi, "I thought this Qujiangchi was also very good in your hands." ”

"The emperor wants to repay the debt, and I have no choice but to die as a courtier,"

Hearing this, Li Shimin said again: "Those gold and treasures I want to reward the soldiers who go on this expedition, and I also have to prepare for this year's imperial examination." ”

With another sigh, Li Shimin whispered, "I am very nervous about the use of the DPRK and China, and I can't pay you back your money in front of me." ”

Looking at Zhang Yang's expression again, this kid looked entangled.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "One day, I will definitely be able to pay off your money." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and took out a small bamboo bucket from his arms, "This thing is for Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin took the bamboo bucket, opened the wooden cork, and looked at the contents inside, "What are these?" ”

"White sugar, to be precise, white sugar." Zhang Yang pondered, "This thing is refined from brown sugar, but I am not very satisfied with its sweetness." ”

Li Shimin poured out some sand-like white sugar, tasted it a little and tasted it carefully, "I still like the flavor of caramel candy." ”

Zhang Yang smiled instead, and took out another piece of cake, "Your Majesty, you can't just taste the taste of sugar when you eat sugar. ”

As he spoke, he took out another water naan, Zhang Yang stirred the sugar with water to form a semi-condensate and then applied it to the surface of the cake, handed it to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty will taste it again." ”

Li Shimin took the cake and took another bite, "Huh? ”

After tasting it carefully, Li Shimin took another big bite, "The taste is indeed a lot better." ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "The flavor of white sugar is indeed not as good as brown sugar and caramel sugar, as long as it changes its usage, it can also become a delicacy when it is combined with other foods." ”

Li Shimin finished eating this cake in three or two bites, regardless of the fact that the cake was already cold, and carefully looked at the remaining sugar in the bamboo tube.

"These candies will be given to Your Majesty, and if you add them to the cake when you make it, it will taste better if you eat it hot."

Li Shimin also sat down and looked at the scenery of Qujiang Pond, "In terms of eating, I can always think of many wonderful methods, which I can't do as well as you." ”

"I think I'm pretty good." After a slight pause in his tone, Zhang Yang said again: "Actually, Your Majesty's character is not as good as mine." ”

"Hehehe......"

Li Shimin smiled dryly, "Character? Trapping the Western Regions is also to blackmail the envoy, and talk to me about character? When will your brazen disease be cured? ”

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Yang put down the fishing rod in his hand, held his hand and said loudly: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it." ”

The two of them sat by the pool for a long time, but neither of them spoke.

During this period, Zhang Yang has already caught three fish.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the fish is very stupid, His Royal Highness the King of Wei has done an experiment, he has released the fish that he catches, and the fish will bite the hook again after the release."

"Is this candy your business too?"

"This will be a deal for Lishan, and I'm still wondering how to make this deal."

"Or can only you Lishan make it?"

"That's true, I want to sell this sugar to specific people and not make ordinary people's money."

Seeing that Zhang Yang caught another fish, Li Shimin said again: "Who do you want to sell to?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled, "The family is my customer, this white sugar will not be sold like we did in Lishan in the past, and we still need Your Majesty's help." ”

"What can I help me with?"

"After the feast, I will share the sugar with the clan dignitaries, so that they know that Your Majesty still has such good things in his hands, so that I can sell them in secret, and at a high price."

"If someone asks where they are, what will I say?"

"It's not important, Your Majesty can not explain, I will let this thing appear quietly on the market."

took Zhang Yang's pu fan, Li Shimin gave himself a fan again, helping his son-in-law with things or business matters, as an emperor, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.

Looking at this kid's conspiracy smile again, if I had killed him back then.

Thinking like this in his heart, Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "What good is it for me to do this." ”

Zhang Yang smiled, "I can give His Majesty white sugar every month, but you can't eat too much of this thing, and you have to properly control the dosage, I will make the value of this thing become like gold." ”

After glancing at Zhang Yang again, Li Shimin stood up and left with Lizhi.

Five crucian carp were released home and raised, killing one or two a day.

On the way home, Li Yue was still combing Xiao Wu with the content of today's class.

There are still a lot of ingredients at home, and Zhang Yang looked at the large row of bacon hanging on the beam of the house at home and felt distressed.

Li Yue walked in small steps, "Husband, our family can't finish eating these bacon, if you don't send them to the palace, maybe your younger brothers and sisters will love to eat them." ”

"It's okay, then it's cheaper for your father."

"What do you mean by cheap my father, this is for my younger brothers and sisters." Li Yue packed up the bacon, put it in a basket and handed it to Aunt Yang, "Trouble Aunt to send these bacon into the palace." ”

After dinner, Zhang Yang sat on the swing and read a book.

was swinging and watching his daughter-in-law walk in front of him.

Zhang Yang raised his head slightly, "What about Xiao Wu?" ”

"Nap, I've fallen asleep."

Zhang Yang nodded, saw that she was still standing aside, and then raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Yue pursed her lips and said, "I also want to sit on the swing and read a book, why don't you make another swing?" ”

"Don't bother." Zhang Yang patted his leg, "You can sit on my lap." ”

Li Yueqiao glared, and then looked at the courtyard, there was no one in the yard, Xiao Wu was taking a nap, Aunt Yang went to the palace, and Aunt Wang said that she was going to buy some silk and didn't come back yet.

Seeing that her husband was still occupying the swing, and looking at his smile again, Li Yue decided to turn around and leave after thinking about it, and was about to turn around.

His waist and abdomen were taken by his husband and poured into his arms.

"In broad daylight!" Li Yue blushed and thrashed.

For a while...... Her husband's strength was too great, so she had to give up the compromise......

I don't have the heart to read anymore.

It's a husband and wife, and there's nothing inappropriate about it, except for a little shame.

Just sitting on her lap like this, Li Yue simply leaned into her husband's arms, and the couple's hair was so entangled.

Zhang Yang put the scroll on her lap and continued to watch.

With the swing swinging, Li Yue hugged her husband's neck with one hand and grabbed the rope next to the swing with the other, so that she could sit more steadily.

Looking at the contents of the book, Li Yue frowned and said, "This is a commentary on Confucian classics?" What is the husband doing watching this? ”

"If you want to defeat your opponent, you must first understand your opponent." Zhang Yang looked at the content of the book, "Back then, Ji Kang was also known as a famous scholar in the bamboo forest, and they paid the most attention to the doctrine of Lao Yu, and there was no shortage of ancestors in the family who learned from the ancients, and these classics were also respected by them. ”

Zhang Yang added: "By understanding these books and understanding their views on world affairs, it may be useful in the future, although I am not despised by the opinions on these books." ”

At this moment, where did Li Yue still have the mind to think, and only her husband's words were left in her mind.

Looking at the husband again, he still looked at the book quietly.

Li Yue raised his chin, and when he raised his eyes slightly, he could see her husband's complete expression, "Just sitting like this, my husband can still have the heart to read." ”

Zhang Yang sighed: "I'm not messing up. ”

"Is that how you use it?"

"You can use it that way, too." Zhang Yang wrapped his hands around his daughter-in-law's thighs.

Seeing that her husband's eyes were getting worse and worse, and she happened to hear the sound of the courtyard door opening, Li Yue was like a frightened rabbit, and suddenly stood up and walked back to the house.

Aunt Yang was still a little stunned by the footsteps of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and stood outside the door and said: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, Lishan Order, bacon has been sent to the palace." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "There is Aunt Lao." ”

Aunt Yang smiled and nodded and withdrew from the yard.

After the others left, Li Yue looked into the yard again, his face was red at the moment, how could anyone do such an intimate act in broad daylight in his yard.

Look at the husband looking at himself leisurely.
