asked people to bring the messenger down to rest, and Li Ye ordered Li Zhen, Cui Keli and others to come to discuss the matter.

Li Zhen, Cui Keli and others came with orders, and when they met Song Jiao when they entered the door, they asked His Highness what was urgently summoned. Song Jiao, who was cold-faced, did not hide it, and told them the reason, so that they could have time to think about how to solve the problem before meeting Li Ye.

Li Zhen and Cui Keli glanced at each other, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes.

Wang Jian's defeat in the expedition to Nanzhao and the loss of Yangguan were not only as simple as the border pass was lost and the battlefield was moved inward. In the current situation of attacking the Tang Dynasty in the world, if one side of the Tang Dynasty is broken, the embankment of thousands of miles may be destroyed in the anthill, causing overall erosion.

Yelu Abaoji has such a strategic layout, which really makes people feel terrible.

When they saw Li Ye, everyone found that the other party was sitting in the main seat drinking tea, his posture was peaceful, and there was no worry between his eyebrows, as if the big change had not happened, or the extremely difficult problem in the eyes of everyone had been solved by him.

This made Li Zhen, Cui Keli and others calm down a little.

"Yelu Abaoji's plan is good. ”

Li Ye said without seeing, "But the truth is that stratagem is always a double-edged sword, there is a possibility of success and a risk of failure." And on the battlefield, any risk will be magnified, and once it is missed, it will be doomed.

"Therefore, only the weak need to use stratagem to fight for a chance to win for themselves. And the strong have always marched in a dignified manner, defeating the opponent with absolute strength, which is the way of insurance. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little more excited, and they all nodded and claimed yes.

Obviously, compared with the Khitan, Datang is the strongest.

After Li Ye said this, the maids had already served tea and snacks to everyone in the hall, and he said with a smile: "Today's discussion, I'm afraid it will take some time, you and moisten your throat, although the state affairs are complicated, you need to know that the body is the capital." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness. ”

The situation has changed so dramatically, in the eyes of everyone, the dynasty is in a difficult situation, and there is a risk of overturning if it is not careful, but at such a time, Li Ye has not forgotten to give tea and snacks to the people who are deliberating, such details show Li Ye's calmness and calmness.

Since Li Ye is not panicking, there is no reason for everyone to panic.

Li Ye picked up the tea bowl, briefly introduced the flavor of the new tea, and motioned for everyone to taste it. After everyone expressed some opinions one after another, most of the tension in the hall dissipated. The relaxed council hall has returned to the high-minded atmosphere of the past, where the world's major events are decided between talking and laughing.

The people present are all Li Yeyan's confidants and important ministers of the court, and their mental outlook and speech and demeanor will affect the hearts of the people in the entire three provinces and six departments. And the attitude of the central officials will also radiate to the whole country, so Li Ye needs to let them have a positive demeanor first.

Putting down the tea bowl, Li Ye continued: "Yelu Abaoji's strategy is really good, and to some extent, he can be regarded as a success. Now, we know that there are no Khitan monks in the north, but it is still inappropriate to venture out of the customs to fight a decisive battle.

"If the main force of the Tang monks goes north, Hexi and Shuzhong will inevitably be lost, which will cause a catastrophe. And even if the main force of the monks goes north, if the Khitan blindly sticks to it, it will be difficult for us to defeat them comprehensively in the short term.

"In the final analysis, the Khitan, Uighur, Nanzhao, the remnants of the Tibetan nobles, the Jurchen Bohai Kingdom, their monks together, their strength should not be underestimated. Because of this, if Datang wants to break the crisis of attacking Tang in the world, it still needs everyone's concerted efforts. ”

Cui Keli arched his hand and said: "Your Highness just orders, and I will swear to serve my life." ”

Li Zhen and others also responded.

Li Ye nodded, waved his hand and distributed the plan documents on the table to everyone.

He said: "Hexi and Shu cannot afford to lose, and the north is even more so. It would be naïve for Yelu Abaoji to think that with this trick of cultivating the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, I would be able to make the Tang Dynasty mess up. Ladies and gentlemen, whether Datang can reproduce the prosperous era depends on whether you can perform your duties and complete the tasks assigned by Lonely. ”

The contents of the plan documents are all kinds of materials, manpower transfers, ordnance, grain and other heavy supplies, there is nothing special about it, and it is not difficult to understand and implement.

After reading their respective plan documents, Li Zhen and the others immediately understood that Li Ye wanted to mobilize all available forces of Datang to defeat strong enemies from all sides head-on.

There is no trade-off, no calculation, it is to use the national strength of Datang to have a head-on decisive battle with those who intend to shake the Datang Society!

Seeing that everyone knew what he was going to do, Li Ye said in a deep voice for the first time today: "The victory or defeat of the war is a contest of national strength in the final analysis. Yelu Abaoji thinks that planning a so-called situation of attacking the Tang Dynasty will make my Tang Dynasty Xiongshi exhausted and overwhelmed?

"Although the Tang Dynasty has not yet recovered the power of its prosperity, although it now needs to face the enemy on all sides, this victory will only belong to the Tang people. Gentlemen, it's time to let these barbarians know how strong the power of the Central Plains is!"

Cui Keli and Li Zhen were shocked.

These words are quite heroic in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

They immediately got up and left their seats, and led everyone to get up and bow down, shouting and vowing to serve the country.

......

After everyone left, only Song Jiao stayed.

"Pouring the power of the Tang Dynasty into the country and crushing the barbarians from all directions, this sounds heroic, and there is nothing wrong with the strategy, but how do I feel that you still have the reliance that has not been exposed?"

Song Jiao stared at Li Ye, as if she wanted to see him transparently, "If it weren't for that, you wouldn't be as stable as Mount Tai." The confidence that pretends to exist and the confidence that does exist, others may not be able to tell the difference, but you can't hide it from me. ”

The meaning of the latter remark is, of course, that I know you better.

Li Ye spread his hands, "Aunt Song thinks that at this time, what else can I rely on?"

"You have long contacted the Tatars and the Yellow Heads in the steppe, but until now, they have not moved. Song Jiao snorted, "But it's ......"

Li Ye took over the conversation: "But they are not enough to be my biggest support." ”

Song Jiao glared at Li Ye: "You will never pin your hopes on foreign races, even if they are allies." Besides, their strength is not that strong!"

Li Ye said leisurely: "There is no backup at home, and there is no strong support abroad, what else can I rely on?"

Song Jiao patted the table in annoyance: "This is exactly what I can't figure out!"

Li Ye said: "If you can't figure it out, why don't you want to?"

Song Jiao said: "If you can't figure it out, someone else has to tell her!"

Li Ye couldn't help but smile and said, "This is the posture that only a little woman can have." ”

Song Jiaoliu's eyebrows rose: "Have you forgotten that I am also a woman?!"

Li Ye opened his mouth and was speechless. As long as it is a woman, there will always be a time when the little daughter is in the posture, and it has nothing to do with age.

Just look at who it is in front of.

Li Ye's reliance can't actually be said to be dependent.

There are only four words: immortal and mortal unity.

In the past, what Li Ye did was always to use the mortal world to influence the immortal realm.

And now, it's time for the fairy realm to feed back to the mortal world.

It's just that it takes a little time.

Until then, the mortal war situation cannot be broken.

......

The second dog hung one arm and sat under the elm tree by the stream to enjoy the shade.

Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the wound is easy to suppurate, in order to avoid being dragged to death by the wound without dying in battle, under the strong request of Zhang Zai three times a day, the military camp finally allowed the wounded soldiers to cool off in a place with low temperature.

Seeing Zhang Zai limping over, the second dog was like a mouse who had seen a cat, and he shrank back a few steps to smear oil on the soles of his feet, but his strength was not good, and he was still caught by the other party.

"It's time to change the dressing, what are you running?" Zhang Zai grabbed the second dog, very dissatisfied with his evasion.

Ergouzi stared at the small knives that flashed with cold light on the plate that Zhang Zai put down, and swallowed with difficulty, "Zhang ...... Brother Zhang, I feel that my injury has healed, can I not change the dressing today?"

Zhang Zai straightened one leg, sat down beside Ergouzi stiffly, picked up a knife in Ergouzi's frightened gaze, and said with a serious face: "You have been hit by the poisonous arrow of the barbarian, the wound is too deep, it is needless to say that you have to scrape the bones to cure the poison, and you have to cut off the carrion every day." If you still want to keep this arm, you have to change the dressing. ”

Ergouzi can see that Zhang Zai is changing the law to retaliate against him.

When Zhang Zai first joined the army, the second dog gave him a lot of faces, and now that it has fallen into the hands of others, he naturally suffers from it.

Readers are all small-bellied chicken intestines, one is more grudge than the other, this is all cow eggs, and the second dog thinks it makes sense.

Because of Zhang Zai, Ergouzi now doesn't dare to underestimate the reader.

It's not because the group of scholars in front of them suffered heavy casualties in this war, and they basically became gods of murder when they lived, but because they knew too much.

When Zhang Zai was in the wounded camp and was being treated by a doctor in the army, he scolded the old doctor who had been treating people in the army for more than 10 years, saying that he did not even have the basic knowledge of "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases".

Subsequently, Zhang Zai became the biggest doctor in the army.

But when Ergouzi asked Zhang Zai when he learned medicine, Zhang Zai said confidently that he had never studied medicine, but had only read a few medical books, and at most he knew a little about curing diseases and saving people. What do you say about Confucianism, but they all know some of these things.

Zhang Zai, who knew a little about medical skills, began to harm sentient beings in the wounded camp.

Such a person should have been dragged out of the gate and beheaded.

But the wounded soldiers treated by him, although they were tortured to cry for their fathers and mothers at the beginning, the survival rate afterwards was several times that of the old doctor, so although his methods looked extremely rusty and stiff, the soldiers could only endure it.

People who read a lot really can't afford to provoke, this is already the consensus of the Beikou soldiers. They have a hundred ways to make you feel like you're going to thank them willingly after you've been in pain.

After changing the medicine, Ergouzi, who had been tilting his head and not daring to look at the wound, was already covered with cold sweat.

Zhang Zai also had a sweaty face, but it was all hot.

"The poison has been completely removed, after today, you don't have to change the dressing every day, it won't be long before your wound will heal, but ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Zai glanced at the second dog apologetically.

This look made the second dog startled, "But what?"
