If you don’t take action, you will be shocked by the stones of the sky

In Chang'an City, in Wei Zheng's mansion, Wei Zheng placed a plate of vinegar celery and a plate of salted soybeans in front of the table. Wei Zheng picked up the wine glass and murmured to himself: "How can I relieve my worries? Only Du Kang..."

At this moment, the door was gently knocked.

Wei Zheng got up and opened the door. Fang Xuanling was carrying a huge food box. Fang Xuanling raised his hand at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng invited Fang Xuanling to come in.

Fang Xuanling quipped gently: "Wei Xuancheng, you are also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The court pays 30 staples of charcoal every year, and you don't give up your flowers!"

Wei Zheng sighed and smiled bitterly: "Xuanling, drink with me!"

Fang Xuanling said while placing the dishes in the food box on the table: "Xuancheng, drink slowly!"

Wei Zheng raised his head and poured a glass of turbid wine into his mouth.

Fang Xuanling went to grab Wei Zheng's wine glass and said, "Xuancheng, you didn't drink wine like this!"

Wei Zheng never took Fang Xuanling before. He was so anxious that he picked up the jar of wine and poured it straight into his mouth.

Fang Xuanling stood up to grab the wine jar and said, "Xuancheng, you have drunk all the wine... What did you let Fang drink?"

Wei Zheng sighed and smiled bitterly: "It would be great if I could really do this!"

Fang Xuanling frowned and said slowly: "You should not blame everything for everything. Li Yaoshi defeated the Turks continuously and destroyed nearly 100,000 Turkic cavalry captured. Even if Jie Li escaped this time, he would not be able to recover his vitality in less than ten years. By then, Jie Li himself would be vain."

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "What a pity..."

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Xuancheng, do you think Your Majesty will hate me now and stop him from expeditioning in person?"

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has figured out this principle. Even though he is a little disappointed, he will not hold a grudge against you."

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he still sighed unwillingly: "If you don't die, you will suffer from it... Now the Turks and the Tang Dynasty are in a state of unstoppable death, so you must not tolerate it!"

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is well aware of the way to use troops. He is right. He must prepare for the next national war!"

Wei Zheng said: "It is better to hit the sun than choose a date..."

Fang Xuanling said: "Xuancheng, what you mean is..."

Wei Zheng said: "We must come up with a strategy for military use as soon as possible. We would rather suffer for three years than solve the Turkic troubles!"

Fang Xuanling looked at the snowflakes floating outside the window and said, "Xuancheng... are you going to the Provincial Political Affairs Hall of Menxia?"

...

Da'an Palace in Chang'an City.

Li Yuan and his son sat by the table and had a night banquet.

In the middle of the hall, several dancers danced to the music.

Li Jiancheng was listless and pulled the dishes on the plate with chopsticks. Whenever Li Jiancheng picked up a piece of meat or dish, Li Jiancheng would put it back in the floor bowl and dish.

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and smiled softly, "Dalang, are you still thinking about the war in Mobei?"

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, are your son too greedy?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "It's the same with my father. The Turks have threatened the Central Plains for hundreds of years. It's difficult to wipe them out overnight!"

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "It's just a pity for my son. The Turks have never been as weak as they are today in a century. If they missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to eradicate them."

Li Yuan said disapprovingly: "In the grassland, there are so many tribes besides the Turks. If the Turks are eliminated today, a new dynasty may emerge tomorrow. If you want to eradicate external troubles, you cannot expect a battle."

Li Jiancheng nodded and continued to say listlessly: "My son is taught."

In fact, Li Jiancheng figured it out.

The grassland has been a major concern for the Central Plains dynasty since ancient times. There was the Quanrong during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and later there were the Xiongnu during the Qin and Han Dynasties. After the demise of the Xiongnu, it finally became history, but the grassland did not become peaceful because of this, but the Xianbei began to rise.

After the Xianbei dominates the Central Plains for more than 200 years, the Rouran people began to rise again.

After the decline of the Rouran people, the Turks rose.

In fact, Li Jiancheng thought too naturally.

Even after the demise of the Turks, the Khitans who had suffered from splinters on the grasslands for hundreds of years began to rise, and after the decline of the Khitans, there were Jurchens, Mongolians and Qing dynasties.

In fact, the grassland crisis has not been resolved in all dynasties.

Li Jiancheng was full of thoughts and was drunk unconsciously.

Seeing that Li Jiancheng was drunk, Li Yuan did not persuade him to drink again.

It was getting late, Li Jiancheng offered to say goodbye.

Just when Li Jiancheng left Da'an Palace, he was sleepless. He looked at the bright lights of the door and ordered the car to move and walk towards the door and work.

Menxia Province, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenhua, Wang Gui and Gao Shilian were all reviewing memorials and discussing countermeasures.

Wei Zheng looked at the mountain of files on the table and said lightly: "What we need to discuss today is the long-term combat preparations for the Turks. Xuancheng, what do you think?

Fang Xuanling had just sat down and hurriedly searched for the documents on the desk. While flipping through, he said: "I have a preliminary strategy here, which is still too simple now. You can take it out first and show it to everyone... After the war is over, the northern prefectures and counties will report detailed statistical results and then make adjustments..."

Yang Gongren was about to speak, but the moment he stood up, he saw Li Jiancheng coming from outside.

Li Jiancheng gestured to Yang Gongren and signaled that Yang Gongren not to speak out.

Fang Xuanling looked down at the document and said, "According to the statistics reported by Li Jing, our army defeated a total of 230,000 Turkic troops, annihilated 128,000 of them, captured more than 93,000 men and women of the Turkic troops, and more than 170,000 cattle, sheep and animals. Before the war broke out, the Ministry of War reported that the Turkic troops had 355,000 cattle, 114,000 male and female troops, and more than 3 million cattle, sheep and animals..."

...

At the same time, on the northwest slope of Shengle City, this inconspicuous small hill actually increased by more than one meter in the past half month. However, no one noticed it.

After Chen Ying arrived at this unknown small hill outside Shengle City, he used the mountain to arrange the entire sled car city overnight. The sled and the sled can form a car city passage that is 1,2 feet wide and about eight feet high. More than 1,600 sleds will form a snow-lower city with an area of ​​more than two standard football fields.

This snow-low city not only has a complete stable, forage yard, grain warehouse, canteen, and even a bathhouse where you can soak in hot water.

After Chen Ying arrived here, he used the Tiger Yicong to closely monitor the battle between Dingxiang and Baidao with the elite scouts of Dingyuan Army, and also closely monitored Shengle City.

Chen Ying could know that a mosquito flew out of Sheng Le. This was absolutely exaggerated, but if Jie Li's defeated troops arrived here, Chen Ying would definitely know it as soon as possible.

More than 6,000 troops, say more than more, and say less, it is absolutely not a small one. They gather together, especially in the narrow space. It is no exaggeration to say that the submarine soldiers of later generations were larger than the movement space of the Dingyuan Army soldiers at this time.

But, there is no way.

Chen Ying convened all officers, especially officers above the lieutenant, to teach. Tomorrow, the lieutenant, the deputy lieutenant Guoyi and the Zhechong Du Mansion, then, in the evening, the lieutenant and the brigade commander and the team and the low-ranking officers at the level of the corps commander.

Of course, space is limited.

Chen Ying could only teach in batches.

Chen Ying faced the new group of lieutenants and said slowly: "War is the continuation of politics, and politics is the direct embodiment of the people's livelihood economy. In other words, the ultimate goal of war is to earn money, food, population and territory. All wars that are profitable to the army are wars with certain goals, on the contrary, they are unnecessary wars! In a word, wars must calculate the gains and losses of interests. If you can't calculate the gains and losses of interests, you are unqualified generals!"

Chen Ying's words are definitely a shocking moment in this era.

Liu Rengui was very serious about recording every word and action of Chen Ying with a charcoal pen.

Chen Ying said a lot, and the truth is very simple: "It is not useful to understand the truth. Without solutions, can you just talk about it? Take the current situation as an example. If the war is at this point, if it is General Li Jing and General Li, you will probably order the withdrawal of troops? Leave two troops from around Zhechong Mansion to defend the territory, and the brigade will take back to rest and rest, and use Xinzhou as a prominent military protrusion, or a strategic buffer zone, and will it take repeated tug-of-war with the Turks in this zone in the future, is it?"

The generals nodded deeply.

Chen Ying continued: "The next place is not just a few white and blade charges. Otherwise, if you gain it and lose it again, it is better not to fight! You must be able to attack and defend, you must turn inaction, turn enemies into us, and turn guests into the main. The battle is not just about military affairs. The right time, place and people are harmonious, and you can't wait. It is one thing to conquer the city, take over the city, control the city, and use the city, which is another thing!"

Liu Rengui and other generals were already stunned by the hearing, and he asked subconsciously: "Can you do this?"

Chen Ying smiled faintly and said, "There is nothing that cannot be done in the world, only the difference between doing and not doing! It is better to do it than not doing it. Even if it does not, it may not be effective, but it will never be effective if it does not do it! Since we send troops to attack the Turks, it is a life-and-death battle. This kind of battle is to compete for the time, the advantage of the land, the harmony of the people, and everything is to fight for everything!"

...

Shengle City, the so-called Shengle City, is the capital of Dai Kingdom, the predecessor of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Later, Tuoba Gui took advantage of the split of the Former Qin Dynasty to call himself the King of Dai in Niuchuan, rebuilt the Dai Kingdom, and established the capital of Shengle in April of the same year, and changed it to the King of Wei.

However, as Wei became stronger and stronger, the capital was moved to Pingcheng, and later, the capital was moved to Luoyang.

Shengle, as the capital of Wei, only two years, of course Shengle City is not big, and it has been abandoned for too long. The scale of the city wall here is not even in good condition of Thunderbolt City.

Of course, even the dilapidated city is more comfortable than a cold tent.

At this time, the Eastern Turkic Khan Ashina Suni lost his convening special forces and carefully said, "Dingxiang has been abandoned, Bai Dao has also been lost, and even Sheng Le is in danger now. The six enemy troops are about to meet. Once Li Shiji, Li Jing and Li Xiaogong join forces, the situation on the Eastern Front cannot be reversed. Now it seems that the Yinshan line is the main attack direction of the enemy's local attack, so there should be no doubt!"

The secret service members did not agree to it, so they looked up at Asuna Suni and said, "Shihan, what do you think?"

Asuni sighed and said nothing.

Ashinazhong, who was standing aside, interrupted, "I don't know any big plan, but this time it's not us who are going to attack us. They are coming to attack Pingcheng. At worst, we can withdraw our troops. Now they have taken over our Shengle. We can't withdraw our troops too? We have to withdraw. Where can we retreat? Three Li combined their troops and had 200,000 soldiers. Where can we retreat? Could it be that when they are waiting for them to force them to Beihai (Berga Lake)?"

Ashinasunis raised his head and glanced at Nashinazhong and said, "It's no big deal to retreat to the Beihai. These people are outsiders after all. They send troops to fight, and they need food and grass. How many families can Li Tang have? How much advantage can he get when he struggles like this? Although the Eastern Front is lively now, I'm afraid that the Li family's soldiers will be out of food for another month or two. If they don't eat land, how long can they last?"

Ashin Zhong was obviously dissatisfied, but he did not dare to keep silent with Ashin Suni.

Ashina Nero smiled: "Zhen Zhong may not be a bad general when he is in the battle. But when it comes to the general trend, it is better to keep silent. Uncle and your father Khan are both experienced people. Now I am weak in the enemy, so you must be cautious!"

Asanosuni sighed and said, "Maybe I am really old, my eyelids are always pounding these days. The weather has been abnormal these days, and it is getting colder every day. I am not afraid of Li Jing when I go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but the current situation is definitely not something that can be cracked by killing randomly..."

At this moment, a guard hurriedly crawled in and said, "She Khan is here!"

Asuni was shocked.

Everyone hurriedly looked towards the door.

Jie Li Khan rushed in with a embarrassed look on his face.

At this time, Jie Lihehan's face was covered with frozen wounds on the left and right. He smiled ferociously, and the wounds collapsed and disgusting yellow water flowed out.
