Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

The next day.

November 16, Sunday.

In the territory of Eastern Turkic, in the tent of Jie Li Khan in Xiangcheng (now Hohhot, Inner Mongolia).

Dense snowflakes were floating in the sky. If this continued, there would be snow on the ground within two days.

Like Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, the tent belonged to the capital.

However, the tents of nomadic peoples were not fixed. They would often migrate with cattle, horses and sheep as the temperature changed with the seasons. If there were fixed cities like Chang'an City, Li Shimin would have attacked them long ago.

In a yurt that looked quite exotic, there was an unkempt man sitting alone. His hair and beard looked like they had not been washed for a long time and were tangled.

Jie Li Khan looked a little unhappy.

Sitting at the first place below him was Tuli Khan, the deputy Khan of Eastern Turkic, who was Jie Li Khan's nephew.

There were also five generals under Jie Li.

"Khan, more than a hundred soldiers of our advance cavalry have been robbed and killed in the past half month. Please send the main force to surround and kill this group of evil bandits."

The man who spoke put his right hand on his chest and asked Jie Li Khan.

His name was Zhishishili, a fierce general under Jie Li. In the first year of Zhenguan, he was detained in Chang'an by Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Because of this stain, Jie Li Khan no longer approached Zhishishili.

"Khan, the cattle and sheep of my tribe's herdsmen have been robbed several times, and the herdsmen are now in panic. Please kill this bandit as soon as possible."

"Khan, fifty of our advance cavalry were killed, and only a dozen escaped."

The face of Tuli Khan below showed a wicked smile. He had always had a bad relationship with Jie Li Khan. Tuli Khan believed that Jie Li was old and did not have the courage to lead the Eastern Turks, so he always wanted to replace him.

Jie Li Khan said nothing. After everyone calmed down, he looked at one of them and said, "Kang Su Mi, can you find out how many people there are in this group of Tang cavalry and when they entered our Turkic territory?"

Kang Su Mi was Jie Li Khan's trusted general.

"Khan, this group of Tang bandits is estimated to have about a thousand people. They should have entered our Turkic territory from Youzhou at the beginning of the month."

Kang Su Mi judged the number of guerrillas based on the location where the Turkic soldiers were attacked and the number of cattle and sheep robbed.

After Hou Junji and his men committed a crime each time, they quickly moved to other places. Kang Su Mi mistakenly believed that different people committed the crime.

Those Turkic soldiers who escaped reported to their superiors that 500 Tang cavalry attacked them.

Before that, Kang Su Mi deliberately used 30 people as bait to try to lure Hou Junji and his men out and set up an ambush to surround and annihilate the guerrillas.

Fortunately, Hou Junji and his men acted cautiously and always remembered that saving their lives was the most important thing. When launching an attack, you must ensure that you will not be ambushed by the enemy, and you must also study the retreat route, so that you can act without any worries.

Hou Junji and his team were really lucky. The guerrillas attacked three times and they were all advanced cavalry sent by the Eastern Turks to the border of the Tang Dynasty. After finding out the situation on the border of the Tang Dynasty, they would send a thousand cavalry into the Tang Dynasty to plunder.

Therefore, Hou Junji and his team accidentally prevented the Turkish cavalry from invading the border of the Tang Dynasty.

"Ashina Dur, Kangsumijia, Zhishishili, the three of you will lead 5,000 elite troops respectively. Spread out and advance all the way to the direction of the Tang Dynasty, search along the way and catch them all in one fell swoop." Jie Li folded his hands on his chest, looked at the generals and ordered.

"Yes, Khan!"

Jie Li Khan's tent Xiangcheng is located in the center of the Eastern Turks, slightly in the direction of Xueyantuo. He does not believe that the Tang Dynasty cavalry of about a thousand dares to go deep into the heart of the Turks.

Therefore, spreading out from the center, the Tang Dynasty cavalry of a thousand people will definitely be found.

Afterwards, Jie Li Khan looked at his nephew, "Tu Li, you lead 30,000 cavalrymen to defend the 50-li area around the tent."

"Yes!"

Tu Li pretended to salute and replied.

Jie Li was also very angry. It was snowing today. If he could not rob some property from the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, many grassland people would not be able to spend the winter safely.

However, the sudden arrival of more than 1,000 Tang Dynasty soldiers would not be able to completely solve the chaos in the Turkic territory. The looting team did not dare to rashly break into the Tang Dynasty, as there would be the risk of being attacked from the rear and besieged.

Fortunately, Hou Junji moved overnight last night, otherwise he might be found out by the three groups of people sent by Jie Li in three days.

Despite this, Hou Junji's guerrillas missed each other in a forest 30 miles apart three days later.

If the two sides met, Hou Junji and his men could only escape.

…………

Tang Dynasty.

Unlike the weather in the Turkic region, Chang'an has not snowed yet.

"Ha~so~ha, ​​the buns with meat are still delicious!"

Su Chen said while eating the steaming hot beef buns.

"Lizhi, I thought you got up very early every day! It turns out that you are almost the same as me!" Su Chen glanced at Princess Changle and joked.

Today is the weekend. Princess Changle and Su Chen came to the restaurant at about the same timeLooking for food.

Princess Changle rolled her eyes at Su Chen and ignored him, enjoying her buns.

After finishing breakfast, the two walked towards the study.

"Lizhi, do you feel that it's getting colder these two days? Is it going to snow?"

Su Chen asked this not because he couldn't stand the cold, but because he hadn't seen snow for many years, let alone snow on the ground.

It's just curiosity!

Princess Changle looked at Su Chen with a smile and asked, "Su Chen, have you never seen snow?"

"Of course... I have!" Su Chen straightened his back and answered firmly.

Rain plus snow, granular snow is also snow.

Princess Changle half-believed and half-doubted, glanced at Su Chen, "I don't know when it will snow."

It snows every year in Chang'an City, and it snows intermittently for a month. Who can remember when it snowed?

"How high is the thickest snow you have seen?"

Su Chen continued to ask, while taking out paper and pen to draw a hot pot. It'd be better to make it today, otherwise Su Chen would worry that the beef would not be fresh.

"This high!" Princess Changle gestured.

Su Chen looked up casually, and she gestured about fifty centimeters.

"Oh, I see."

Immediately, Su Chen imagined what kind of hot pot would be easier to make under the current conditions of the Tang Dynasty.

After thinking for a while, Su Chen decided to make a charcoal hot pot. Because Princess Changle and her friends all like spicy food, they don't need a double pot.

There are many of them, so the hot pot should be bigger.

Princess Changle saw Su Chen drawing seriously at the desk, and curiously leaned over to watch Su Chen drawing.

In about a quarter of an hour, Su Chen finished drawing a copper charcoal hot pot, and also made a decomposition picture.

"Su Chen, are you drawing a fruit plate?" Princess Changle asked curiously.

Su Chen was surprised, "Fruit plate? Is your fruit plate like this?"

Princess Changle shook her head, pointed at the high protrusion, and said, "Not really, fruit plates don't have that protrusion."

Su Chen smiled slightly and turned the picture around so that Princess Changle could see the whole picture.

"Beauty, this is a hot pot! The protrusion is the cover, and the charcoal is in the middle."

It's true that the appearance is really like the fruit plate stand that Princess Changle used when she served cakes to Su Chen in the restaurant.

Princess Changle stuck out her tongue, "Oh, I saw it wrong."

Su Chen smiled faintly and didn't make fun of her.

Afterwards, Su Chen felt that something was missing, "Oh, I need to get a few colanders, and I'll think of a way to make the hot pot base when the time comes!"

Su Chen drew two more spoon patterns, one colander and one soup spoon.

"Okay, wait for me, pretty lady! I'll have someone send it to the Ministry of Works to supervise the production and try to make two sets today."

Just when Su Chen raised his butt and wanted to get up and leave the study room.

Suddenly he froze.
