Chapter 109: The Handsome Tent Controversy

The march was bitter, bitter. โˆšโˆŸ Top Novel,

Li Su is a hedonist, and it is his ideal of life to lie in the pile of money all his life without eating, drinking, and not moving, and now, Li Su is grinning on horseback, and the idea of being a deserter has popped up in his mind more than once.

On the third day of the march, the army left Chang'an for more than 100 miles, Li Su felt a hot pain, it turned out that the taste of riding a horse was not good, the inner thigh was worn off by the saddle, and the legs were split for a long time, and after a little bump, he felt that he was about to cramp, and he dismounted and walked for a while, and his feet began to hurt again......

The road is still a trivial matter, the most unbearable is to eat and drink, only eat dry food when marching, there is no meat in the dry food, just a piece of cake as hard as a stone and a small lump of black wild vegetables I don't know what species, every two days, when camping at night, there is a bowl of vegetable soup with a few oil stars, Li Su saw with his own eyes that the Chinese army man threw a cloth belt stained with salt into the pot when making soup, and after boiling for a while, he took it out, a pot of soup was considered to have a salt taste, and the man seemed to be very satisfied with his craft, and licked it with his mouth after taking out the cloth strip, Stuff it into a black and non-slippery bag, and continue to use it for the next meal......

Li Su was about to go crazy, looking at the bowl of soup with tears, he didn't dare to taste it, he took it into the tent with respect, and dedicated his hands to General Niu, Niu Jinda was very satisfied with Li Su's filial piety, and drank it in three or two sips.

It's good that there's no waste and a slap on the back.

"The little baby is good, barely a polite ......" Niu Jinda was very pleased, and licked the corners of his mouth unsatisfied, it seemed that the bowl of vegetable soup was very suitable for his taste.

Li Su bowed down and said with a smile: "The happiness of the chief manager is the happiness of the lower officials, and the lower officials will retire without delaying the chief manager's decision on the military situation." โ€

"Come back, how can you make any decisions on the march, come and talk to Ben Shuai." Niu Jinda beckoned, and the momentum of a roadside taxi was recruited. Li Su had no choice but to lean over.

Niu Jinda stroked his messy beard, and his square face was very strict, no matter from the appearance or expression, Li Su felt that this face was similar to some kind of cold weapon, such as a brick......

"Little baby, tell me about it. Chang'an to Songzhou more than 1,000 miles, our Tang army rushed to Songzhou, will the Tubo gang have captured Songzhou? โ€

Li Su smiled bitterly, how did he know about this kind of thing? Militaristic affairs, can you talk nonsense?

"This ...... Back to the general manager, the officials really don't know. Although the Tibetan soldiers are brave, the siege doesn't seem to be so powerful, right? Maybe General Han, the governor of Songzhou, can hold it? Li Su scratched his head, and his words were full of words like "seemingly" and "maybe".

Niu Jinda lowered his head and looked at the sheepskin map on the low table, and Li Su's gaze also turned to it.

The map is sloppy. It's outrageously simple, just sketching a rough topographic map, Chang'an draws a circle, Songzhou draws a circle, a winding road between the two, nothing else, no mountains and no water, it's hard to imagine that this map is actually a military map of the general.

Niu Jinda's eyes were worried. Obviously, he didn't have much confidence in Han Wei, the governor of Songzhou.

"Han Wei is a coward, this kind of person is not worth the task!" Niu Jinda shook his head. Then he sneered: "200,000 enemy troops pressed the border, and only took dozens of light horsemen to explore the camp, and after being discovered, he panicked, and he was the only one left in the wolf bรจi who fled back to the city, and the guards all died in battle to protect him, did he think he was Huo Quai?" Such generals defend the city. Ben Shuai didn't think he could hold on for long. โ€

Li Suwei nodded.

"This time, the soldiers were divided into three routes, Hou Junji led the way, Liu Lan led the way, and Ben Shuai led the way. A total of 50,000 people, little baby, tell me, 50,000 against 200,000 Tibetan soldiers, what are the odds? Niu Jinda squinted at him, as if he was a little elegant.

Li Su hurriedly said: "My Tang Dynasty soldiers are sharp, unstoppable, these years of conquest of the Eastern Turks, conquest of Xue Yantuo, has always been outnumbered, a big victory, the lower officials believe that under the light of His Majesty's holy light, under the command of the wisdom and courage of the great governors, this battle will be able to win with one blow, defeat the Tubo children, our emperor is mighty, and all countries are called ministers......"

While saying that Li Su looked for a direction randomly, he thought it was where the Taiji Palace was located, and he looked at it respectfully.

"Over there, ......" Niu Jinda's face was as black as a piece of black charcoal, and he pointed in another direction gloomily.

"Huh?"

"Tai Chi Palace...... Over there. โ€

"Oh......"

Li Su was as good as a stream, hurriedly changed direction, and took a long look again.

The corners of Niu Jinda's eyes twitched, and his rough big palms were raised and lowered several times, seemingly struggling fiercely between pumping him and not pumping him.

Li Su also noticed Niu Jinda's bad intentions, and carefully moved back a few inches, very puzzled, they were all good words that were carefully crafted, there was no unpleasant word, why did you smoke him?

"The little baby is not sincere!" Niu Jinda glared at him fiercely: "Although the words sound uplifting, in fact, there is nothing in the words, what are you afraid of?" Are you afraid of being stabbed if you say the wrong thing? โ€

"It's all the sincere words of the lower officials, don't you dare to talk nonsense......" Li Su immediately changed to a worried expression: "If you say something wrong, you will be stabbed?" And what's going on? โ€

Niu Jinda smiled angrily: "The little baby is pretending to be stupid again, believe it or not, Ben Shuai personally chopped you." It's all nonsense just now, and now I say it again, if you have any ideas, you might as well say it, and then pat yourself on the back, ten military sticks will definitely not be spared. โ€

Li Su really had some ideas, just now he just couldn't figure out the general's temper, in case he couldn't listen to the truth, he was pushed out of the handsome tent and slashed after he finished speaking, how wronged, so he simply slapped the endless sycophants. Looking at Niu Jinda's appearance now, it seems that he is a very pragmatic person, and when he was a sycophant just now, it is very likely that he will have the idea of slashing himself, in order to dispel the irrational idea of the general, Li Su feels that he needs to do something dry.

"50,000 against 200,000 Tibetan soldiers, this battle, the lower officials thought it would be very difficult......"

Niu Jinda raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Why? Said carefully. โ€

Li Su pondered his words for a moment and said slowly: "The 'difficult' mentioned by the lower officials is not to outnumber, but geography and climate. The Tubo soldiers are just barbarians, the soldiers are nothing more than straight to the point, the lower officials have not led the soldiers, how to hit it has its own great commanders to decide, with soldiers, Tubo will inevitably be defeated by the generals to strategize, if the Tang army only solves the siege of Songzhou is as easy as a breeze, attack and defense are not a problem, but if you want to join forces to go deep into the territory of Tubo after the siege of Songzhou, the lower officials think that this is the beginning of the difficulty......"

"Why is it so difficult?"

"The Tang Dynasty has never conquered Tubo before, so I don't know the details of Tubo, the Tubo people are not terrible, what is terrible is the location and climate of Tubo, where there is heavy snow all year round, the mountains are endless, every hundred miles, you will feel that the heartbeat is getting faster and faster, accompanied by dizziness, vomiting, and even coma and other symptoms, Yan zhรฒng people can almost die, even if they can't die, they will feel weak and powerless, as if drunk, don't say that they go into battle and fight with the Tubo soldiers, that is, the march is afraid of losing strength, and the Tubo people have long adapted to the local climate and geography, Moreover, Tibet is a plateau, and the enemy is in a high place and I am in a low place, so strategically we will fall into the passivity of using the low enemy and the high enemy, and for the enemy, it is condescending and in a favorable dive situation......"

"Therefore, the lower officials think that this battle will be a complete victory in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, do not worry, if you continue to attack the enemy and go deep into the territory of Tubo, our Tang army will ...... It is good to attack the many with a small number, but it is very unwise to attack the strong with the weak. โ€

Li Su rarely said a lot of things, half of them were small talk, and the other half, maybe it was for the Wang brothers, one general was incompetent, tired to death of the three armies, and the Wang brothers rushed to the front line, he didn't want to see them killed because of the miscare of the commander of the army.

Niu Jinda's expression gradually became solemn: "Before this battle, Zhongshu Province had summoned a few Hu merchants in Chang'an City to ask about the geography of Tubo Tianshi, they had sold goods between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, Hu Shang's statement is the same as what you said, but what you said is much stricter, the climate of Tubo, is it really so terrible?" โ€

Li Su nodded solemnly: "Once you go deeper, you will inevitably have these symptoms, and the lower officials dare to guarantee their lives to be true, and the children of Guanzhong are brave and invincible, however, after all, they can't fight Tianwei, and they can't reverse the terrain." โ€

Niu Jinda nodded: "It is difficult for people to win the sky, but to tell the truth, the officials of Zhongshu Province have talked in detail about the climate and geography of Tibet with Ben Shuai, and His Majesty and Ben Shuai have thought that this battle may be difficult, suffering in the climate and geography of the enemy territory, but we didn't expect it to be so ......strict."

Li Su said seriously: "The chief manager, at this time, the army has not yet come out of the pass, if the chief manager does not believe it, why not send the army to quickly sneak into the territory of Tubo, there is no need to probe the enemy, just test its terrain, the deeper it goes, the higher the terrain, the more uncomfortable people will be, and these symptoms mentioned by the lower officials will inevitably occur." โ€

Niu Jinda said: "It is true that the scouts must be sent, the commander cannot be tired of the whole army because of your words alone, nor can he be so stupid that he does not take your words to heart, only the news from the scouts can be believed." โ€

Li Su shook his head and said sincerely: "The chief manager is worthy of being a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and he is subordinate to the officials." โ€

"Okay, you might as well take more pictures of this kind of sycophant in the future, Ben Shuai likes to listen to it. Don't be wordy, get out, the commander has to decide the military situation. โ€

Niu Jinda kicked Li Su out of the tent very unceremoniously, and then heard his shouting in the tent: "Come in ten guards, hurry!" โ€

A group of armored guards rushed into the tent, and then they heard Niu Jinda give a military order in a hurried tone.

Li Su rubbed his buttocks and gritted his teeth with hatred: "Unload the mill and kill the donkey!" โ€

Thinking about these four words, it was very unfavorable to him, and he hated to change his words: "Cross the river and tear down the bridge!" โ€
