Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

"My dear brother, hurry up and talk to my brother carefully."

In order to see clearly, Li Shimin lay down on the ground, watching Su Yu gesturing on the sand.

He was so excited that he forgot that this action was a gesture of a courtier bowing down to the emperor.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were so frightened that their faces turned ashen, and they hurriedly got down together.

The emperor knelt down for Su Yu, how dare they stand?

"Lao Li, what are you doing, get up and sit down."

"You two too, why are you kneeling down?"

Su Yu helped Li Shimin to sit down and poured him a glass of water.

Only then did Li Shimin realize that he had lost his composure.

Turning to look at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, that look: whoever dares to speak out, kill him!
"The second stage is the offensive decisive victory."

"First of all, in the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led 3000 cavalry from Mayi, entered Eyangling, and captured Xiangcheng by night."

Su Yu continued to paint.

Li Shimin's eyes widened, and he muttered, "Li Jing dares to attack Dingxiang City at night with three thousand cavalry?"

That's the headquarters of Xieli.

"That's right, Li Jing is very courageous. Jieli didn't expect Li Jing to dare to come. There was a heavy snowstorm at the time. He thought Li Jing was followed by a large army, so he ran away in fright."

Su Yu said.

It's like this again, even when it's time for a blizzard to know.

This Su Yu is too scary.

Du Ruhui admired it, if it is said that planning before the battle, he is even more powerful.

However, Li Jing was indeed more ruthless than him in surprise attacks on the battlefield.

Li Jing is the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"And then? Jieli ran away?"

Li Shimin asked.

"How could it be possible to escape?"

Su Yu laughed.

"Afterwards, Xieli hurriedly withdrew the Yazhang to Qikou, Li Jing sent spies to separate things, and Jieli's confidant general Kang Sumi took Empress Xiao and Sun Yang to fight and surrender to Dingxiang."

Li Shimin was shocked.

Kang Sumi is Li Shimin's old friend. When Taiyuan raised troops, Li Yuan borrowed Turkic cavalry.

This Kang Sumi was also among them.

Li Shimin gave him a lot of money, so the relationship is good.

These years, Jie Li has been too promiscuous, often making troubles.

Kang Sumi was not happy working under Jieli, and often had secret letters with Li Shimin.

That's right, Su Yu figured out my hidden stake again.

"No, Kang Sumi is Jieli's confidant general, why did he rebel?"

Du Ruhui didn't understand.

Fang Xuanling was also puzzled: "That's right, Kang Sumi is a confidant."

Li Shimin coughed and said, "Shut up! My brother continued."

"Jieli retreated to Yinshan, met Chai Shao by the Hun River, and then met Xu Shiji intercepted him in Baidao, and was defeated."

"Attention!"

Su Yu knocked on the ground and said loudly.

The three of Li Shimin immediately pricked up their ears.

Just like a teacher knocking on the blackboard: Pay attention, this is a compulsory question!

"Xieli will pretend to surrender at this time."

"At this time, Li Er is also a thief, pretending to accept it."

Li Shimin felt very happy when Su Yu said this about himself.

I finally made a difference.

"In February, Li Jing and Xu Shiji joined forces and led an elite army to attack Yinshan Mountain at night, breaking through Jieli Yazhang. Jieli fled westward from Yunzhong in a hurry, and Zhang Baoxiang captured him on the way."

"That's it, no more."

"You are really taking the money from selling grain and thinking about being emperors. I also admire you."

Li Shimin was so excited that he paced like a rooster, walking up and down, laughing loudly: "My dear brother, it's wonderful."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui admired it.

Su Yu was lying on the rocking chair, watching the yellow leaves falling from the tree, and suddenly entered the realm of philosophy.

If I said the strategy of this war, I would tell Li Er through Lao Li.

So, how did I know about this strategy?
Did I know Li Er's strategy, or did Li Er know my strategy?

It's nerve-wracking.

"Mr. Su, you said three conditions at the time. Once you have the money, the cotton will be harvested immediately, and you can make cotton clothes."

"But I remember you said that food is still needed."

"The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have been fighting for four consecutive months. These three years are not good harvest years."

"Our grain store knows it."

Du Ruhui said.

When the food was mentioned, Li Shimin suddenly remembered.

Indeed, there was no grain in the barn.

"Old Du, it's time for me to serve the court."

Su Yuyi's words are strict and upright.

Seeing Su Yu's appearance, Li Shimin almost believed it.

Fang Xuanling thought in his heart: I believe you a ghost, this brat is very bad.

Although Du Ruhui knew that Su Yu had a bad stomach and said that he would serve the court, in the end he was just pulling wool from Li Shimin.

The only difference is that if you squeeze it out, or directly squeeze Li Shimin's baldness.

But he still asked: "How do you say that?"

Su Yu pointed to Zhuangzi's back mountain: "I have food here, you sell it to him for me, enough for his hundreds of thousands of troops to feed for half a year."

puff.
Li Shimin just said that he was thirsty and drank a cup of tea, and he spit it out as soon as he put it into his mouth.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "My dear brother, do you know how much military rations are needed for a war? For an army of 50, your food here is enough for half a year?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui laughed out loud, feeling like a fairy tale.

At that time, there was very little meat, egg and milk, and they only ate grain.

A soldier eats 3 catties of grain per meal, 3 meals a day, 9 catties per day.

Four months on the battlefield, 120 days, that is 1080 catties.

Multiplied by 50, that is more than 5 million catties of grain.

There is another problem here, and that is the war horse.

War horses cannot eat grass, they must eat food, otherwise they will have no strength.

Li Shimin has already planned for the consumption after this battle, and used Datang's ten-year tax to support it.

Su Yu dared to boast that the food behind his mountain was enough to feed 50 troops for half a year.

Doesn't that mean that Su Yu's food reserves are more than the tax burden of the Tang Dynasty in ten years?
This is a big joke.

The three of Li Shimin laughed until their stomach hurt.

The queen dragged Princess Changle over from the backyard, and heard Li Shimin and the three of them laughing while looking at Su Yu.

At this time, Changle was already very beautiful.

"Husband, why are you smiling so happily?"

the queen asked.

Li Shimin pulled the queen, pointed at Su Yu and said with a smile, "Your brother Cai just said about Li Er's extermination of the Turks."

"He said, let me sell the rations behind the mountain to Li Er."

The queen asked strangely: "We are grain merchants, why not?"

Their identities are grain merchants, and it is reasonable and reasonable to sell military grain to the court.

what's so funny.

"Madam doesn't know something, my brother said that the food behind the mountain is enough for Li Er's 50 soldiers and horses to feed for half a year."

Li Shimin's stomach ached from laughing, and he sat on the rocking chair and said ouch.

The queen laughed loudly: "My dear brother, I have heard too many jokes about being a concubine, but this is the first time you are making a joke."

Su Yu was very helpless, shook his head and said, "Chaojun doesn't know Huishuo, and crickets don't know Spring and Autumn. It's really hard to tell you."

Princess Changle asked strangely: "Aye, what's so funny, there are all grains under that mountain, and they're going to be destroyed."

The bottom of the mountain is full of food?
Li Shimin stopped laughing.

He got up and looked at the mountain behind him, it was a big one.

Could it be that?
Hollowed out underneath?
