After two days of marching, Li Jing and the others finally took the army to join Li Ji's army. There are more than 100,000 troops here, and almost all the main forces of this expedition to the Turks are here. And inside the juniors here, the tents are all boundless, and there is no end in sight. Also because of Jingwen's mentions, the army wore down jackets, and as a result, there were many fewer people who froze to death and frostbite. For now, at least, almost the vast majority of those who freeze to death are killed in battle. As for how the soldiers survived the Turkic winter in the original history, this Jingwen can only say hehe. In the absence of cotton clothes and down jackets, it would have been a nightmare to fight in the Turkic winter. Now, Jingwen didn't know that this war had taken a little longer than the original history. Now in history, in fact, Jieli Khan has been caught. But now Li Jing is not in a hurry, and the generals are not in a hurry, obviously they have the idea of fighting steadily.

Jingwen guessed that the original historical action was to behead Jieli, directly arrest Jieli, and then force the Turks to surrender. The reason why this is the case in history may be because the Tang army's ability to keep warm at that time was very poor and it was unable to fight in the Turks for a long time. But now it is no longer realistic to catch Jieli as much as possible, because Jieli is already like a turtle with a shrunken head, and he does not dare to come out lightly. And now the winter is getting colder and colder. Although winter is almost over, many people know that when the snow melts, it is actually colder than when it snows. Next is the time of snowmelting, which is the time to test everyone's willpower.

"Let's talk about it! What should we do next? Then it's time for the snow to melt, and it's going to be the coldest time. We followed the previous plan, which was to send cavalry to directly find a way to directly capture the old boy Jieli, and then spread the word to the Turks. Or will we sweep gradually, and then pacify the Turks? Li Jing asked.

At this time, Wei Chi Gong, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, took the initiative to say: "General Li, I still directly send a general to Tieshan with the elite cavalry." Then you can sneak attack directly and try to catch Jieli. In this way, we can pass on the Turkic Command. ”

After hearing Wei Chigong's statement, many people began to agree. Because it's a very good way to do it, and it's the most efficient way to do it. Because as long as this method captures Jieli, the morale of the Turks will be greatly reduced, and it is possible to strive for the surrender of the Turks at this time. This method saves time and effort, and can save a lot of materials. This is still very important for Datang, who still needs to recuperate. So, this approach was immediately supported by a large group of people.

But Li Ji also said: "I agree with steady and steady, don't be in a hurry." Although the elite was sent to attack Jieli's Iron Mountain. Victory is good, but once discovered, I am afraid that these elites will die without a place to bury. Moreover, if you want to sneak attack, you must have more than 10,000 people, and you still need elite cavalry. But with such a lot of power, is it a bit of a waste to use it as a gamble? ”

Li Ji's words also aroused the approval of a large number of stable factions. Because it's good that the sneak attack is successful, but once it is discovered. That's probably very dangerous, too. If you follow the original history, everyone will definitely agree to sneak attack this road, because the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can no longer continue to fight. But now the situation of the Datang army is very different, and Datang's ability to keep warm has improved a lot. The combat effectiveness will not drop too much because of winter, which gives everyone the conditions for steady and steady fighting. There is still a month or two before the snow melts on the steppe, and it is completely possible to use this time to clear as many Turkic tribes as possible. As long as you can defeat a few tribes in the Turkic core, it shouldn't be a big problem. And once the core tribe is defeated. The strength of the Turks is really nerve-wracking.

Because of Jingwen's crossing, history has changed, that is, the logistics of the Tang Army have been greatly improved. The main thing is the advantage of thermal equipment. On the contrary, it is much better than the Turks. So the Don Army had the capital to continue fighting, and there was no need to risk playing any "decapitation operation". And if you play steadily, the results will be greater and the risks will be much smaller. If you take the risk and bury these more than 10,000 elite cavalry, then I am afraid that the sin will be great. Now there are only tens of thousands of cavalry in almost the whole country, and the cost is very high. Once it is filled in, I am afraid that for the cavalry, it is better than starting all over again. This kind of risk is not something that everyone has the courage to do.

"Jingwen, tell me what you think!" Li Jing said.

Only then did everyone find out that Jingwen, the envoy of the Snow Shame Army, was still here! Jing Wenke, as the commander of the 40,000 army, should have a place here, and even have a very high status. But Jingwen's qualifications, this can only be said hehe. China often pays attention to seniority, and those veterans have not spoken, so what does Jing Diploma say? What's more, Jingwen's actual position is only six grades, and the official position of this festival envoy is only a temporary official position, not a permanent official position, so Jingwen's right to speak is relatively small. Obviously, since Li Jing asked him to speak, then he was able to speak.

"Actually, I think both generals have a point! General Wei Chigong is to be able to let the Tang Dynasty end the war as much as possible, so that the burden on my people is not so heavy, and I can do my best to cultivate and recuperate. And I, the Tang Dynasty, can also go back to reunite as much as possible. In this way, if it succeeds, then our Datang soldiers will sacrifice less, and more soldiers will be able to go home. ”

"And General Li Ji's meaning is that he wants my Datang to be more stable, so that there will be no ups and downs. And you don't have to take any risks to do so, so you can avoid a lot of sacrifices. War is not child's play, and it cannot be fought at great risk. War is very dangerous if it rests on luck. If the risk is too great, it's not worth the risk. ”

"So, the two generals have their own reasons, and they admire them!"

Li Jing immediately said: "Don't give me and the mud, you don't have the qualifications for this and the mud!" If you have any ideas, then do your best to say. ”

Jing Wen saw that his mud tactics were useless, so he could only say: "I just want to ask the generals, do you want decades of peace, or permanent peace?" ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Li Jing asked. (To be continued......)
