Li Shimin listened to Xia Hongsheng's words, showed a thoughtful look, thought for a moment, and said: "So the virtuous son-in-law thinks that the king of the ring will continue to organize a coalition army to attack Nibora and attack Cheng Qing and Niu Qing. ”

"Yes, that's exactly what my son-in-law thinks." Xia Hongsheng said: "So how did we make a plan before, and what else to do, whether we captured Nibora or not, it will not be affected." ”

Li Shimin breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "Fang Cai, I have already asked Duan Zan to pass on the message, ordering Cheng Qing and Niu Qing to strictly guard against Tianzhu and take strict precautions against Tianzhu, but I did not take the initiative to do it to Tianzhu first. ”

"My father-in-law is wise. The son-in-law suggested that he immediately start to increase his troops to Nibora, and the sailor naturally did not stop, once Tianzhu made a move, Datang could immediately fight back. Xia Hongsheng said.

"Okay, I'll just know what you're thinking." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's late at night, so you can spend the night in the palace." I'll be back tomorrow. ”

"That's just right, the son-in-law originally planned to bring Her Royal Highness the princess back tomorrow to visit you and your mother-in-law, but when she was summoned today, the son-in-law came first, and her Royal Highness the princess will come back with gifts tomorrow." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin: "The son-in-law prepared a gift for you and your mother-in-law, but today the son-in-law was in a hurry, so he didn't bring it." ”

"Oh? But what is it? Li Shimin was very curious: "The gift I prepared for my virtuous son-in-law has always been novel. The virtuous son-in-law has never disappointed me. This time, what surprise did the virtuous son-in-law have prepared for me? ”

"This stuff is eaten with powdered milk." Xia Hongsheng didn't sell it, and replied with a smile: "The son-in-law let the family's pro-soldiers test, and he didn't eat at noon, so he only grabbed this thing and soaked it in the water in the milk powder." As a result, they thought that they had a large amount of food, so they used a large bowl, sprinkled a handful of this thing in a bowl of milk powder, and drank two bowls. In the afternoon, I trained at the intensity of military training from afternoon to evening, but I was not hungry at all, and I didn't even want to eat dinner. Hehe, the son-in-law dares to guarantee that when Her Royal Highness Princess Ming'er comes down, ask it, I'm afraid that they will save their meal tomorrow morning. ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, but there was a gleam in his eyes, and he said: "But it is ...... as military food together with milk powder."

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "This thing can be pressed into bricks like tea, and when it is used, it is powdered and mixed into milk powder to drink, which makes the milk powder more satiety and makes the body recover faster." After all, drinking a handful of this stuff is equivalent to eating a large piece of meat! ”

"Meat?!" Li Shimin looked at Xia Hongsheng in surprise: "Can you drink meat?" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "This thing is called meat floss, which is made by removing water after the meat is cooked. It's actually still meat, just more portable and preservable. The meat from a pig's body is made into meat floss, which can guarantee the ration of a soldier for several months. Add a handful of meat floss to the milk powder and drink it in a few gulps, which is equivalent to drinking a big bowl of milk and eating a large piece of meat. ”

"Good stuff! I can't wait! "Li Shimin was born in the army, so he naturally knows how much of a role such things can play in marching and fighting.

"Tomorrow will be brought." Xia Hongsheng said with a smile.

It was late at night when he went out of Li Shimin's study, but Li Shimin still had to review a few copies before he went to sleep. Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but sigh that the emperor was really not so easy to be.

Xia Hongsheng lived in the palace where Li Li lived, and after retiring from the palace, Xia Hongsheng was sleepy, and when he woke up, it was already suntime outside.

Get up and go out, after opening the door, there is the palace marquis outside, after washing, the waiter who has been standing next to him stepped forward and saluted and said: "The slave and maid pay tribute to the concubine, Your Majesty let the slave and the maid be here, and when the concubine wakes up, let the concubine go to the Liangyi Palace." ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and went straight to the Liangyi Palace. As soon as I got outside, I heard laughter inside.

The attendant outside the hall stepped forward and saluted, saying: "The slave and maid pay a visit to the horse, Your Majesty has a decree, and there is no need to report after the horse comes, just go in directly." ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and went in. Inside, Li Shimin and Changle Princess Li Lizhi were teasing a toddler in the arms of Empress Changsun, and there was a little Zhengtai standing next to him.

sighed in her heart, it was so early that Sun Simiao discovered the root of her illness, and prescribed the right medicine, has been good at conditioning, plus has been in good health, Queen Changsun looks good now, and it may not be a problem to fight for a few more decades.

Xia Hongsheng went in and was about to pay a visit, but was interrupted by Li Shimin and said: "There are no outsiders here, and the virtuous son-in-law does not need to be polite." The virtuous son-in-law is really a good sleeper, and when he gets up three poles in the morning, it seems that the big dream is the first to awaken, and the virtuous son-in-law knows it. ”

Xia Hongsheng heard Li Shimin laugh at him, but he didn't care, turned his head and asked, "Princess, did those people eat this morning?" ”

Li Lizhi pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Where can they eat, before they finish a bun, they all shout that they are full, and they can't eat anymore." ”

"Hahahaha! Who made them greedy and drank so much! Xia Hongsheng laughed.

"Changle, can you bring something? Let me see! When Li Shimin heard this, he was even more curious, and hurriedly asked.

Li Lizhi turned around and looked at it, and the maid behind her took out a bag and took out a few bottles of meat floss from it.

Xia Hongsheng took a bottle and unscrewed it and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin pinched out a trace and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and showed a surprised look on his face: "It tastes good!" ”

"Father-in-law, this thing is made of pure meat. A large piece of meat is needed to make such a lot of meat floss. Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin: "Before going to the battlefield, add milk powder and meat floss directly to the water bladder in advance and hang them on horseback. As soon as the horses ran, the things got mixed up. On the battlefield, the physical exertion is huge, and the soldiers are hungry quickly. At this time, you just need to unscrew the water bladder and drink a few sips, the milk powder mixed with the meat loosens the stomach, and after a few big mouthfuls, you drink a lot of milk, eat a lot of meat, and a little can fill your stomach and quickly recover your strength. Perform the dash again. When our cavalry is full and has recovered their strength, maybe the hungry enemy troops on the opposite side have not even set up firewood! ”

Listening to Xia Hongsheng say this, Li Shimin seemed to have imagined such a scene, the grinning old man, the back molars were all visible, revealing a bad smile like an old hooligan.

After laughing evilly for a long time, Li Shimin suddenly reacted, and looked at his daughter looking at him in surprise, Xiao Zhengtai seemed to be frightened, and faintly retreated. So he quickly wiped his old face, replaced it with a kind smile, and said, "Okay! I like this gift from my son-in-law so much! This milk powder and meat floss are very useful in the army, if I don't reward the virtuous son-in-law, I can't say it! By the way, the virtuous son-in-law said that he also prepared a gift for the queen, but what is it? ”

I hope these two gifts can make you promise this son one thing, so don't reward it. Xia Hongsheng sighed in his heart and thought.

"The concubine also has it?" Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Shimin, and then turned her head to look at Xia Hongsheng, her eyes full of anticipation.

Xia Hongsheng smiled at Li Lizhen again and raised his chin.
