When this thought appeared, it never... lingered.

And Tang Feng, who was thousands of miles away, probably never thought that his little daughter-in-law would suddenly have such an idea.

It is still Chang'an.

Inside Daming Palace.

The clear lake water is fluctuating under the breeze, with little ripples.

On the edge of the lake, King Tang was sitting on a stool, in front of him was a fishing rod, and next to him, Li Jing was also fishing with a fishing rod.

Chapter 537: Monarch and Subject

fishing.

However, the minds of the two people present seemed to be completely out of the swim bladder.

"What do you think is the chance of winning the battle in the Northern Territory?"

King Tang suddenly turned his head to look over, looked at Li Jing, and asked.

Hearing this question from King Tang, Li Jing didn't respond immediately.

answer.

This is not a good question.

As a general, if he is no longer in that position, not on that battlefield, he will not easily talk about winning or losing.

In particular, the commander of the Battle of the Northern Territory is still a young generation commander like Tang Feng who is good at using troops.

In terms of age, Tang Feng may be a bit young. At this age, he was entrusted with the important task of leading nearly [-] cavalry to attack. It is a risky choice in itself. From ancient times to the present, there are only two young people like Tang Feng. .

First, Zhao Kuo, and second, Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing naturally doesn't need much..., he is a rare young handsome talent in China, in his weak years, he defeated the Huns and discarded their helmets, and in the end he was sealed as a wolf and a general.

As for Zhao Kuo, although there are mixed praises and criticisms in the history books, at the very least, he lost the Battle of Changping, which led to Zhao Guo's hundreds of thousands of troops being killed by Qin Guo, and the originally powerful Zhao Guo: Pushed into the danger of extinction of the country.

Therefore, young people should use it with caution, especially if it is related to family and country affairs.

After all, young people have little experience.

On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly, and young people are already inexperienced, so it is inevitable that there will be inconsiderations, and this lack of consideration may often lead to huge changes in the direction of the battle, and eventually lead to defeat.

This time Tang Feng led his troops to the north, from the heart, Li Jing did not agree.

After all, Tang Feng's age is really a bit young, giving people a feeling of being unsteady and unstable.

Even in the previous three wars, Tang Feng had shown his military talent far beyond ordinary people, and he also had a certain amount of experience in fighting with a large army. However, this time he led nearly [-] cavalry to attack thousands of miles, which was completely different from the previous three wars. different.

This time, when Tang Wang asked, he couldn't speak easily.

Because Li Jing knew well that the King of Tang...was Tang Feng's trust.

In today's Chang'an City, if it comes to who is most favored by His Majesty, it is Tang Feng, Marquis of Dingbei.

And Tang Feng rose rapidly from the beginning of the Chang'an Grand Competition, from a commoner to now in charge of the elite cavalry, fully responsible for the Northern Expedition, such a climbing speed, it can be said to be unprecedented.

The reason why Tang Feng was able to be promoted so quickly was that, firstly, the blood of Luo Cheng, the Duke of Yue, flowed in his body. In addition, his mother was the first daughter of the former dynasty. It is doomed to his noble status, and second, his personal ability is indeed strong. He has never disappointed His Majesty in the Chang'an Grand Competition, and he can surprise people every time.

Such a young courtier, I am afraid that any king with any vision will like it.

Noble status, young, outstanding talent, both civil and military, extremely prudent in behavior, and know how to make money, in this young man, you can hardly find any shortcomings. Thinking of this, Li Jing couldn't help feeling sad.

One wrong step. One wrong step.

At the beginning, his decision was wrong after all.

Thinking of the daughter who was pregnant with Liujia, his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

Seeing that his daughter is about to give birth, but until now, he still doesn't know whose child is in his daughter's womb.

These days, he sent many people to investigate, but none of them found out that his daughter had any contact with any man.

From the first battle of Deyang, Li Wan followed him back to Chang'an, after reconciling with Tang Feng in front of the palace, Li Wan stayed in the mansion all the time, from then until she was pregnant, she never went out of the Duke's mansion.

He had also doubted whether his daughter had... had an affair with someone in the mansion, but he was deeply suspicious of this, and after further investigation, he also denied this guess, what a proud woman his daughter is ,, Even if you encounter setbacks, you will definitely not belittle yourself.

"Don't just stare blankly, talk about what you think."

&

nbsp; Seeing that Li Jing bowed his head in thought and remained silent, Tang Wang continued to speak.

King Tang's voice awakened Li Jing from his contemplation.

He raised his head and restrained his messy thoughts.

Family affairs and state affairs, naturally put state affairs first.

Between the monarch and his ministers, when talking about state affairs, how can they think about family affairs?

"In this battle, the odds of winning are only five or five. I am not on the battlefield, so I dare not easily say the outcome."

After restraining his thoughts, Li Jing spoke.

This answer is very pertinent, but, falling into Tang Wang's ears, it lacks flavor and feels a little coping.

"Half a month has passed since the Marquis of Dingbei led his army to leave Yaoguan. If you count the time, they have already gone deep into the grassland at this time, and they will not be too far away from the Yinshan King's Court. If there is an accident, the big battle may start within this month."

Li Jing continued.

Having said that, he paused for a moment.

King Tang, who was sitting next to him, put down the fishing rod in his hand and nodded slightly to express his approval.

After all, the king of Tang started his career as a military man, even if he is an emperor, he is also proficient in military affairs.

What Li Jing said...he also thought about it.

"According to the current information from the north, the Turkic Royal Court obviously doesn't know the existence of Dingbeihou and others. From this point of view, Dingbeihou's military ability is really strong. At least, the people in the empire Few of these generals, including veterans, can do this."

After a moment's pause, Li Jing went on to say change.

This is not a compliment, but the truth.

Nuonuo heard Li Jing's words, the corners of King Tang's mouth rose, revealing a small smug smile.

This is the young genius he unearthed from the humble, his disciple, and even his half-son-in-law.

"If the minister is the commander in chief, at this time, he will choose to divide his troops and send a cavalry force of ten thousand people to the main line to make a big noise, disturb the Turkic people's sight, and make them unable to determine where the main force of my Tang Dynasty is. In which direction."

Li Jing continued to speak.

The Army God of the Great Tang, indeed the Army God of the Great Tang, even though he was in Chang'an, his thoughts were exactly the same as Tang Feng's.

"It's just that, with such a small percentage of troops, the original [-] cavalry will be [-] less. Even if they successfully approach the Yinshan King's Court, if the Turkic people are determined to defend the Yinshan King's Court, then they will be in an embarrassing situation. gone."

After Li Jing said this, he didn't go any further.

Chapter 538: Auspicious Khan's Hate

The development of the situation, often, is not determined by individual subjective analysis.

Just like what Li Jing deduced, maybe there is nothing wrong, not only not wrong, but also very reasonable, but it does not mean that it is absolutely correct.

Because, in this world, there are always a handful of people who don't play cards according to common sense.

But the living said, you can't treat him as a normal person.

on the prairie.

After Tang Feng divided his troops twice, the number of cavalry under his command has been reduced to more than 5.

The total number of Turkic cavalry on the other side exceeded [-].

This place is not in the territory of Tang Dynasty, not a city fortress with strong walls, but in the depths of the northern prairie, which belongs to the Turkic world.

On this grassland, the Turks have inherent advantages.

Normally speaking, in this place, the best choice to launch a decisive battle with the Turks is... to use more troops than the Turks cavalry, with an absolute superiority in numbers, step by step, and,, completely defeat the Turks.

But now, Tang Feng wants to use more than 5 cavalry to defeat the [-] Turkic cavalry on the opposite side, and completely destroy the Yinshan royal court.

From the perspective of normal generals, it is almost impossible to succeed.

Even though the Turkic people suffered a series of disastrous defeats and lost troops, they still should not be underestimated.

If it were those countries in the Western Regions 990, even if their troops exceeded [-], [-] Tang cavalry would still be able to easily defeat them, but the Turks were different. superior.

In the cavalry team, many generals remained suspicious of... Tang Feng's decision.

They have considered many possibilities, but no matter which option they choose, it is difficult to win easily under the current circumstances.

In their view, even though there are many old, weak, sick and disabled Turkic cavalry in the Yinshan royal court, the elite cavalry among them still exceeds [-].

The 5 elite Turkic cavalry alone are enough to hold back the more than [-] cavalry of our own side in the face-to-face confrontation on the grassland.

If Tang Feng insists on using these 5 cavalry to charge the Yinshan Royal Court, the best result is..., break the Yinshan Royal Court, defeat the Turkic cavalry army, and the tens of thousands of cavalry on his side may die seven times Seven eight eight.

In the end, even if you win, it's just a miserable victory.

And most of them will die in battle.

These...... are what they don't want to see.

Although it is an honor to die on the battlefield as a soldier, they don't want to see the elite cavalry of Tang Dynasty being lost on the grassland like this.

One general will become famous.

The lives of them and their soldiers, in the end, created the reputation of this young commander.

In this day.

The scout troops of the Tang army fought wits and courage with the scouts of the Jue people in front.

The two sides are chasing and fighting on this vast grassland.

The Turkic scouts wanted to find out if the Tang army entered the grassland, but the Tang army refused to allow the Turks to find out what was true.

Thousands of scouts were scattered.

Not only on the western front, but also on the eastern front, a large number of scouts were also sent out.

Even, on the eastern front, Niu Da sent more scouts than the main force on the western front.

From the surface, it seems that the main force of the Tang Army is located on the Eastern Front, and the movements there are far greater than those on the Western Front.

In just one day, several Turkic tribes on the Eastern Front were attacked and turned into ruins.

The tribal male who accidentally escaped from the pursuit of the Tang army ran to the royal court of Yinshan and brought a lot of unknown news.

And these news completely messed up the sight of the Turkic people, making them more and more unable to judge the reality of the Tang army.

In just the past two days, Yinshan

The royal court sent nearly [-] scouts, but so far, it is still impossible to know the number of Tang troops and their next movements.

According to the current information, there are Tang cavalry on the east and west fronts, and there are quite a few Tang cavalry in both directions, at least... more than [-] , as for the more detailed number, it is not possible to determine for the time being.

And this made Jiri Khan angry, but also a little uneasy.

The current situation is so confusing that he can't see it clearly. It is precisely because he can't see the situation clearly that he is a little worried.

His intuition told him that the commander-in-chief of the Tang army on the opposite side was afraid that the visitor was not kind.

Of course, all the iron cavalry from the Tang Dynasty came to this place, so it's not just for the simple purpose of harassing the grassland.

But the problem is that the Tang Kingdom can only mobilize so many cavalry at present, relying only on those tens of thousands of cavalry, do they dare to come to the Yinshan King's Court to make troubles! Don't the people of Tang be afraid, and stealing chickens can't make money! This time, who will the commander-in-chief of the Tang army be? Li Jing, Duke Wei of the Tang Dynasty! Or the one in the west...Hou Junji! Or, the young Duke who came from a famous family! As for the others, he didn’t think about it .

In his opinion, for such a large-scale Northern Expedition, the King of Tang will definitely choose the most capable commander, and among them, Li Jing is the most likely.

Li Jing, Duke Wei of the Tang Dynasty, is an old friend to Ji Li Khan.

The two sides have been fighting wits and courage in the northern border for more than ten years, and they are very familiar with each other.

If Li Jing is really the commander in chief of the Tang Army's Northern Expedition this time, then, based on Li Jing's marching habits, he will definitely not fight an uncertain war, let alone gamble with tens of thousands of Tang Army's elite cavalry.

Speaking of gambling, he couldn't help but think of a person.

That... the Tang man who made him hate to the bone and wished to crush him to ashes.

Tang Feng, Marquis of Dingbei in the Tang Dynasty.
