"Xiangguo, it's not that I don't want to contribute, it's actually that the situation here in Fengzhou is also very complicated. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Simo considered the words, and after seeing the ballista warships of the Shuofang Army, he felt more and more that the Tang Army was powerful.

"There are not many people in Fengzhou and Hequ, there are more than 20,000 accounts in Fengzhou, and there are more than 10,000 accounts in Hequ. Combined, it is more than 30,000 accounts. ”

A Turkic account is a household, and an account is often a large family, with a small population of four or five people, and a large number of more than ten people. 30,000 accounts, at least 120,000 people.

According to the Turkic account, at least one soldier can be dispatched, and Fengzhou and Henan can also make up 30,000 cavalry, and if each account produces another servant, it can even raise 60,000 people.

Now there are only 8,000 horsemen in Fengzhou, and that's because these 8,000 horsemen are responsible for the defense task, which can be regarded as being recruited.

The Tang Dynasty military system is a government military system, and the government soldiers farm in their spare time and send troops during war. The Turks, on the other hand, are equivalent to all the soldiers, as long as they are young and strong, they can be regarded as soldiers. Usually grazing, in case of sending troops to fight, the above ordered, the tribe summoned the young and strong to send troops. According to the scale of the war, a variety of herdsmen were recruited as soldiers.

Because of the fertility of the Hetao, the Turks have been operating here for more than 20 years, so there are many tribes here. The front set and the back set, adding up to more than 100,000 accounts, just one southern area of Yinshan, the eastern-Turkic people are really all gathered together, and they can get together 100,000 horses.

Li Chao asked Li Simo to offer Fengzhou and Henan as sincerity, which was really embarrassing for Li Simo.

Not to mention that Li Simo has never had the opportunity to open his teeth to command the army, he is in Fengzhou, in fact, he is a guest general. He's not the kind of person who sets up accounts and commands one side.

Those accounts in Fengzhou and Hequ were led by many tribal leaders, and Li Simo could not manage the rest of the accounts except for his own 3,000 soldiers, plus the 5,000 soldiers given to him by Jieliba.

Li Simo doesn't have that much ability, so he can take the 30,000 accounts and return the land to Tang together.

Li Chao actually already knows these situations.

Ke Qing is still very powerful, and the first-hand information he got from Fengzhou was very valuable. Even Li Chao knew why Li Simo wanted to vote for Tang, this is a person who has suffered a lifetime of losses because of his bad looks.

Hey, the Turks prefer to look at faces.

Who made Li Simo grow a bearded face? Although the Turks were called Hu Yi by the Tang Dynasty, the Turks also called those people with high noses and deep eyes in the Western Regions Hu people.

The Li family of the Tang royal family is still sprayed by those famous families in the Central Plains because they have a bit of Hu blood, and the Turks can't tolerate Li Simo, a Turkic nobleman with a Hu appearance.

In addition, he is still a Tuli person.

But Li Chao doesn't look at his face very much, what about Hu Ren's appearance?

Li Simo is very good-looking, tall and burly, with blonde hair and golden beard, plus hooked nose and green eyes, the contours of his face are very obvious, this is a handsome guy.

"This is something I didn't think about before, and we can think about it in the long run. Come, General Slim, let's eat fish. This sweet and sour carp, you must not have eaten it before. ”

Sweet and sour fish, like sweet and sour pork ribs, is a new dish brought by Li Chao.

Especially this sweet and sour fish, you have to have good vinegar and good sugar, although there is vinegar, but there is no good sugar, so ordinary people can't eat this fish.

Nowadays, sucrose is not uncommon, and rich people's families can buy good sucrose, rock sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, etc.

After dissecting and washing a two- or three-pound Yellow River carp, make a flower knife. Then lift the tail of the fish, let the knife edge open, sprinkle the refined salt into the knife edge to marinate for a while, and then evenly wet the starch around the fish and the knife edge.

Camellia oil in the wok, when it is burned to seven maturity over medium heat, lift the tail of the fish and put it in the pot, let the knife edge open the knife, use a spatula to hold the fish in the non-stick pan, fry it for two minutes, push the fish to the side of the pot, let the body of the fish be square, and then fry the fish back down for two minutes, then put the fish body flat, press the fish head into the oil with a spatula and fry it for another two minutes.

When the fish is golden brown, remove it and arrange it.

Then put green onions, ginger, garlic, salt, soy sauce, and sugar into the pot, add clear soup, boil over high heat, wet the starch and stir well, pour in vinegar into sweet and sour sauce, and then quickly pour it on the fish.

The fish is made with a cocked tail, the color is like amber, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, and it has a unique flavor of crispy, sour, sweet and salty.

This was made by Li Chao himself for Li Simo.

Li Simo is usually used to eating beef and mutton, either roasted or stewed, and he has never even eaten fried beef, how can he have eaten sweet and sour Yellow River carp.

Just looking at it like this, my saliva came out.

"I don't dare to eat the fish cooked by Xiangguo himself."

Li Simo said with a smile.

"What's so embarrassing about this, I have to be given a surname by the Emperor and included in the subordinate register, and General Simo also has to be given a surname by His Majesty and included in the subordinate register, counting it, we are still a family now." Li Chao said with a smile.

Li Simo immediately hit the snake with the stick, "Indeed, I should respect Xiangguo as an uncle." ”

"Don't, it's a mess."

Li Simo hurriedly said, "It's not messy, it's not messy, that's what it is." Xiangguo is given the surname by the emperor, and I am the surname given by His Majesty, which should be a generation lower than Xiangguo, I call Xiangguo my uncle, there is nothing wrong, there is no chaos at all. Uncle is above, please be worshiped by your nephew! ”

Li Simo said, and really got up, lifted the feet of his robe, and knelt down.

Li Chao was a little caught off guard.

Li Simo looks like a Hu person, and he is not as old as the Han people. But even so, Li Chao estimated that this veteran of the four Turkic dynasties should be forty years old.

He himself is only twenty-three, and his nephew is in his forties.

But if it's based on seniority, age is not a problem. After all, in this era, there are no birth control measures, and if you can, you will always give birth. Some people are sixty or seventy years old, and the eldest son is fifty or sixty years old, and they have a new birth. As a result, even the younger son is younger than the grandson of the eldest son.

In the family, some children are only seven or eight years old, and there may be some old men in their seventies and eighties, but they still have to respect this child's uncle.

However, Li Chao and Li Simo are not real royals, and this generation is actually a bit unclear.

But since Li Simo worships his uncle, Li Chao will admit it with a smile.

The twenty-three-year-old nephew of the prince of the kingdom is a county king in his forties. Now the king of the county still kneels down to worship him, the prince of the country, which is interesting.

"In that case, I'll recognize you as a nephew, but let's still be commensurate with our official position. The deputy envoy is invited to get up, this fish should be eaten while it is hot. ”

Li Simo got up and sat down.

Pick up chopsticks, pick up a slice of fish, and put it in your mouth.

Vinegar, sweet, salty, crispy, crispy......

"Good taste, good taste!" Li Simo praised again and again. He had eaten carp in the Yellow River before, either raw, grilled, or stewed, and he had never eaten such a delicious fish with such a peculiar taste.

Li Chao added a bowl of Lingzhou rice to Li Simo.

"You can't eat sweet and sour fish without rice, the freshly steamed rice is fragrant and soft, with sweet and sour fish, it is a perfect match, especially the sweet and sour sauce mixed into the rice, it is really a big bowl to eat in one go."

Li Simo ate several large bowls in one go, a sweet and sour Yellow River carp with good fragrance, color and shape, several catties, which he ate cleanly, even the plates, and finally wiped them all with rice.

Putting down the plate, Li Simo had a satisfied satiety.

After eating Li Chao's fish, you have to find a way for Li Chao.

"Deputy Envoy Li, how do you think we can take Fengzhou and Henan?"

Li Si rubbed his mouth, and he was also a little embarrassed.

There are more than 30,000 accounts and more than 100,000 people, at least 30,000 or 40,000 riders.

"Can you persuade these tribes to submit to my Datang?"

"Xiangguo, this is a bit difficult, but now the strength of the Khanate is still very strong." Li Simo said. The Turks have always believed in the law of the jungle, and if the Central Plains are strong and the Turks are weak, then these tribes will not oppose those who belong to the Central Plains. In the Sui Dynasty, for example, they often did this.

As soon as the civil war failed, he immediately defected to the Sui Dynasty.

The Sui Dynasty also welcomed the attachment of these people, and every time it would send people to meet them, and also demarcate land for them, and even build cities and resettle them, give them pasture, give them grain and grass, and so on.

But now that the khanate is very strong, the Central Plains Tang Dynasty still has to pay tribute to the Turks, why did they vote for the Central Plains?

"In this case, it can only be a fight."

Li Simo hesitated, "If there is a war, I don't think we have a chance of winning." Only south of Yinshan, Jieli can mobilize 100,000 horsemen at any time. ”

"I also have 100,000 soldiers in Shuofang Town." Li Chaodao.

"Ugh!"

Li Simo looked at Li Chao and felt that Li Chao was joking with him. Shuofang Town has 100,000 soldiers, even if there are numbers, but can those 100,000 soldiers be enough?

There are only 35,000 real government soldiers, as well as 15,000 Tang Minfu, another 30,000 soldiers, and the other 20,000 are prisoners and soldiers recruited later.

It's just a cobbled rabble.

Even if they just wiped out Liang Shidu, but Liang Shi can compare with Jieli?

is also 100,000 soldiers, Li Chao's 100,000 Shuo Fang army, what are they? Jieli's 100,000 soldiers, even if they are herdsmen, are also cavalry.

Jieli's 100,000 cavalry will definitely completely destroy Li Chao's 100,000 Shuo Fang army, which is simply a clear thing.

"Xiangguo, are you serious, do you really want to fight Fengzhou?"

Li Chao looked at Li Simo, "Do you think I'm joking?" ”

Changan.

Xiwei Bridge, Chai Shao was dusty, and finally returned to Chang'an from Longyou.

Rolling by the Wei River, Chai Shao was silent, he looked up at Chang'an from afar, his eyes were full of gloom.

In Liangzhou, the governor of Longyou had not yet sat down, and as a result, an edict was issued, and the emperor replaced him with Dou Dan and transferred him back to Beijing. And when he was halfway there, he learned the reason why the emperor transferred him back to Beijing.

The chief prince of Pingyang wants to reconcile with him!

It was like a bolt from the blue, and he couldn't believe his ears.

Li Xiuning wants to divorce him!

On what grounds, on what grounds, on what basis is she?

She had a lot of trouble with Li Chao, and she gritted her teeth and left Chang'an to go to Longyou, but as a result, she became more and more inched, and she still had to reconcile with herself?

The eldest princess of Changping entered the palace and begged the emperor and His Majesty to force Li Pingzhang to divorce his wife and marry her, but Li Pingzhang resolutely refused, and then Li Pingzhang was demoted to Shuofang as an envoy. Unexpectedly, this became the earth-shattering feat of Li Pingzhang in Beijing, breaking the Liang division in half a month, and recovering in January. ”

has not yet entered Beijing, and on the way, I can still hear scandals about the scandal between his wife and Li San from time to time.

Li San, Li Xiuning.

Chai Shao gritted his teeth, thinking that now that the whole Chang'an knew about his wife and Li San, he was even more angry. He-mother-of-the-, I can't live this life anymore.

Leave and leave! (To be continued.) )
