Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

To the point where I can't sleep at night.

In his premonition, his trip to supervise the army this time might be too much to eat.

In fact, the word "practical hunch" is not accurate enough, it should be doomed to default, and he will not escape punishment when he returns to Chang'an.

But people are not as good as heaven, just when he was already disappointed in his heart and had given up trying to persuade Li Jing and the King of Peking.

God actually rewarded me with such a heavy snowfall.

As a result, Tang Jian felt a sense of refreshment in his heart after a long drought.

It is often said that the heart is wide and the body is fat.

This Tang Jian is definitely the benchmark in this regard.

He is a very good and honest person.

The only thing is laziness, muddling along, preferring lazy politics.

However, the flaws do not conceal the merits, he was still highly valued in the hearts of Li Shimin during the period of the Supreme Emperor, and now Li Shimin.

At this time, Tang Jian suppressed the smile in his heart, and then pretended to have the same expression of bitterness and hatred as everyone else, and sighed.

"Oh! God, what's going on?"

"Seeing that our army has already crossed the river, and is about to launch a fatal blow to the Turkic enemies in the grassland, and make great achievements."

"However, there was such a heavy snowfall."

"Look, the snow looks like it's down to your knees (in fact, it's just missing an ankle). Our cavalry and horses must not be able to pass through!"

"Marshal, and the King of Peiping, you two, rest assured, as the supervisor, I will definitely report the situation here to His Majesty and the court when I go back."

"I will never let the two of you be questioned and punished!"

Hearing his words, Li Qiu couldn't help frowning and kicked the knee-deep snow in front of his feet.

Then he questioned and asked: "I said Master Tang, why do I feel more joyful in your words the more I listen to them?"

Upon hearing Li Qiu's words, Tang Jian immediately shook his fat head into a rattle.

"Huh? See what you said, King of Peking."

"I, Tang Jian, am also an official of the Tang Dynasty, an upright descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties."

"I already hate the Turkic people who have repeatedly violated our borders and slaughtered our people."

"It's hard to look forward to snow and retreat?"

"Especially at the moment, we finally came to the border of the grassland after going through hardships. It would be a waste of time and money to retreat like this. It's such a pity!"

Chapter 422 The old man chatted and became crazy about teenagers, one old and one young

Tang Jian's words also won the approval and echo of the people around him.

It is too right to say what the supervisor said.

Seeing this, Tang Jian became even more excited.

"Hmph, that Turkic and my Tang Dynasty have a bloody feud. I really wish I could spread my wings and fly over this grassland to fight with them."

"Let them all die under the sword of our army!"

Just as he was being generous to Chen Ang at this moment, the veteran Li Jing beside him took a deep breath.

Then he ordered Yu Zhining beside him, "General Yu, didn't you hear the military order of the supervising army?"

"Hurry up and send the order down, prepare your troops, and when the heavy snow stops, our army can set off to fight that Turkic to the death!"

Upon hearing Li Jing's words, Yu Zhining was immediately stunned, while Tang Jian, the supervisor who was boasting and encouraging his fighting spirit, almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"Cough...cough..."

"Marshal, Marshal, when did I say that I would go out immediately and fight that Turkic to the death?"

"This, this heavy snow, General Luo has already said just now, our horses can't do it."

At this time, Li Jing said seriously to everyone: "As soon as the heavy snow falls, even our own people think that the army cannot go out."

"This year's war is coming to an end, what should the Turks think?"

"To attack them by surprise, this is a rare opportunity for our army to raid the grassland while everyone in Turkic is relaxing their vigilance!"

"If this opportunity is missed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wait for a second time in this life."

"As for the horses, hasn't General Luo Liang already said that there is absolutely no problem with those strong prairie horses, as well as the famous BMW horses ridden by the King of Peking and Princess Yunzhong?"

"If I remember correctly, in this 4-strong army, there are thousands of horses from the grasslands."

"It's enough for a raid."

"Li Qiu, what do you think of the immediate attack on the Turks?"

Three quarters of the current army are soldiers from Youzhou.

Li Qiu's opinion will definitely influence the strategy of using troops in the future.

Whether to fight or retreat actually depends on Li Qiu, not Li Jing.

Therefore, at this moment, Li Jing and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Qiu's face.

At this time, Li Qiu's eyes showed a trace of excitement, "I don't know much about military strategy, and when it comes to the art of war, I'm not even as good as my wife."

"But for the handsome, I am completely convinced and admired."

"Since the commander-in-chief thinks it can be done, then it will definitely work."

"As for whether to continue to use troops here in the future, I have never been in the business of losing money."

"Now we have traveled thousands of miles, people eat horse chews, and we have come to the border of the grassland. There is no reason to go back empty-handed."

"That's why I and the [-] soldiers of the Youzhou Army are willing to obey the command of the commander-in-chief."

"Luo Liang, go and pick out all the grassland horses now, and at the same time pick out the absolute elite soldiers, and join me and the commander in raiding the hinterland of the grassland!"

Upon hearing Li Qiu's words, the eyes of Yu Zhining, Luo Liang and other generals around them all brightened.

The anxiety and haze in everyone's hearts before was swept away in an instant!

"Yes! This subordinate takes orders!"

Following the shouts of several people, they followed orders and quickly went to select war horses and elite soldiers.

The real Tang soldiers like them would rather wrap their corpses in horse leather than retreat in despair.

Listening to Li Qiu's words and looking at the scene in front of him, the old man Li Jing was full of smiles.

At the same time of joy, there is also a kind of relief that I have someone who will succeed me in the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty needs such a brave general, an indomitable general!

On the other side, Tang Jian felt like crying when he saw the scene of another 180-degree turn in front of him.

What do you think you can do so well?

Seeing snow, directly exercise the power of supervising the army, and order to stop the march.

Anyway, there is also His Majesty's oral order to prohibit the army from being aggressive.

But you have said so much nonsense, you will suffer for your face.

Now that the words have been spoken, even if you want to order the withdrawal of troops, you can't say it!

In less than an hour, Luo Liang and the others selected [-] grassland horses.

At the same time, [-] absolute elite soldiers have been selected.

Afterwards, Li Jing ordered the army to rest overnight.

Early the next morning, they directly led the 20 fine cavalry, abandoned their luggage and redundant equipment, and prepared to go out with only [-] days of rations.

At this time, Li Jing and King Beiping were about to send troops to the hinterland of the grassland to risk their lives.

Tang Jian's heart was already full of sorrow.

With [-] riders, the lone army went deep, without any food and support, and just rushed into the vast grassland under the white snow.

There is also a Turkic army of [-] people ([-] in Tang Jun's information).

Isn't this sending you to death?

If something happens between Li Jing and the King of Peking, His Majesty must not swallow him alive as a supervisor? !

Ever since, this Tang Jian sighed and played with the snow with his saber.

"Oh, this is really in response to the poem of the King of Peking, and the old man is talking like a teenager."

"The old and the young, why are they so fond of madness and nonsense, and don't know the danger?!"

"This marching and fighting will kill people, how can it be a child's play?"

Just when he was nagging and depressed, suddenly a fast horse rushed over.

"Tang Jianjun, the commander-in-chief and the King of Peking are waiting for you to go out together, Mr. Supervisor?!"

Upon hearing his words, Tang Jian could hardly believe his ears.

"what?"

"Want me to go out together?"

As he said that, he lowered his eyes again, and took a look at his body shape of about two hundred kilograms.

"Are you sure they want to take me with you?"

In response to his question, the general nodded seriously, "That's right, it was the order from the commander in person. Let me invite you, Lord Superintendent, to go out with the army!"

Chapter 423 What did you say?

Afterwards, Tang Jian put on a bitter face and came to Li Jing and the others together.

"Marshal, you are my size, on this muddy, snow-covered grassland."

"Isn't this holding back our army!"

"Anyway, my supervisor is doomed to die now, so you can go on your own, and you must pay attention to safety!"

"Come back safely!"

Seeing his appearance, Li Qiu couldn't help but smiled and said, "Master Tang, it's for your own good that the Marshal called you to join the expedition."

"Otherwise, think about it, if we go to the hinterland of the grassland, and you, the supervisor, stay at the border."

"Once the news reaches Chang'an, if His Majesty is not sure, he will have to arrest you and peel off two layers of skin first."

Li Qiu's words directly pointed out the true meaning of old handsome Li Jing.

Hearing this, Tang Jian suddenly realized, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Not to mention how His Majesty will punish him at that time, just thinking of Li Shimin's murderous aura when he got angry made him tremble with fear.

"My lord Li Qiu, actually, I really want to go."

"But it's my figure, this is not easy to handle."

"You can't let me walk and run behind the army, can you?"

Li Qiu smiled at him at this time, "Don't worry, Master Tang, we will tie a strong enough hemp rope around your waist to pull you up."

Hearing this, Tang Jian was almost frightened to death and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Don't, don't, don't, let me go back and face His Majesty's anger."

"I heard that there is a kind of torture on the grassland, and it looks like this."

Li Qiu and Tang Jian were messing around and joking, which also made Luo Liang, Li Jing, Yu Zhining and other generals beside them couldn't help laughing.

At this time, A Ke led her famous horse Jueying to Tang Jian.

"Master Tang, you can ride this Jue Ying."

"This horse is much stronger than ordinary prairie horses, and there is no problem with your figure."

"And I will ride with the King of Peking."
