Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 420 War of Attrition
Zhu Dagui pleaded guilty, and Li Jing waved his hand: "Okay, I don't blame you, Marshal. Being able to support the arrival of reinforcements also shows that you are a capable person."

Li Jing's administration of the army is sometimes very strict, but sometimes he is more relaxed, it depends on what is divided.

A marshal can't be unkind, but he can't be too close.

Zhu Dagui breathed a sigh of relief, this side has entered the barracks, and someone has already sent the counting results.

"Marshal, in the battle last night, our army killed and injured more than 5000 people, captured more than 1 horses, and more than 3 grain and grass..."

After the list was announced, everyone's hearts were shocked.

Captured more than 1 war horses, and so much food and grass, this can improve the strength of their Tang army.

"Marshal is really good, why don't we take advantage of the high morale and destroy the remaining Turkic soldiers and horses." Zhu Dagui said, and then explained: "At the time when I was fighting Tuyuhun in the Tang Dynasty, Qin Tian The leading troops went directly to the city of Tuyuhun, and those who beat Tuyuhun went directly to the lower table, and we also beat the Turks to let them go to the lower table.”

Seeing the record, Zhu Dagui was a little excited, but also a little itchy, and wanted to directly fight the Turkic surrender.

However, Li Jing shook his head: "Now the [-] Turkic soldiers have fled far away. It will take us at least three days to catch up with them, but within three days, the [-] Turkic reinforcements may have met them. , we go to hunt them down, we will fight the Turks head-on, with our army's current strength, there is no chance of winning, it can even be said that there is no chance of winning, this is not appropriate."

Zhu Dagui was a little dazzled by the victory, but Li Jing was still able to maintain absolute calm at this time.

"Then what should our army do now?"

Li Jing thought for a while, and said: "Defend Lingzhou City, prevent the Turks from crossing Lingzhou, drag them down, and then find an opportunity to fight them."

Given the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, it is unwise to fight recklessly with the Turks. We can only stick to Lingzhou City and continue to fight with the Turks.

Of course, there are other considerations for Li Jing's doing this. He has made great achievements in the battle last night. As long as he defends Lingzhou City, he will be able to keep his achievements. This battle will have meaning for him .

But in his opinion, this battle should be ended by Li Shimin in the end, because Li Shimin is afraid that he won't sit in the position of prince for too long.

And as long as he is on the throne, he needs some achievements to make his throne look more stable, so a battle to defeat the Turks couldn't be more appropriate.

Li Shimin needs a big battle to make the people of Datang have full confidence in him.

When the time is right, he will report to Li Shimin.

Now, he just needs to continue guarding Lingzhou City.

Of course, after the [-] Turkic troops arrived, it would not be easy to defend Lingzhou City.

"The Turks have suffered a defeat. After the army led by Jieli Khan arrives, they are bound to counterattack wildly. In the next few days, Lingzhou must prepare for defense..."

After Li Jing's arrangement, with him around, it is not difficult to defend Lingzhou City. He is good at fighting, and even more so at defending the city.

After Zhu Dagui listened, without any hesitation, he immediately took orders and went down to deploy his defenses.
-
At the end of February in Chang'an, the weather is not good.

The colorful flowers are in full bloom, as if the most beautiful season of the year is at this time.

Emerald green, emerald green, the whole world is emerald green, no matter how bad a person is, as long as he sees this emerald green, he will feel better instantly.

Those gifted scholars and beauties started outing again at this time.

Outside the city of Chang'an, there is a lot of traffic, small streets in the fields, shallow flowers are blooming, butterflies are flying, and some talents are joining hands for a spring outing, which is very pleasant.

This year's Ninth Princess is the first time not to go out.

Neither did Qin Tian.

Princess Jiu didn't go for an outing because she couldn't bear to think that her father was still under house arrest in the palace, no matter how beautiful the spring scenery in the suburbs was.

Qin Tian was slowing down.

The Qin family's store has always bought toilet water, but toilet water is more used to repel mosquitoes. After applying it on the skin, it will have some stimulating effect.

Although it is also fragrant, the fragrance is not very good.

Now that the flowers are in full bloom, Qin Tian decided to make the perfume as well, so as to enrich the items sold in their Qin family shop.

Of course, after the perfume was made, Qin Tian felt that the Qin family's shop should be tidied up.

When there were only toilet water and soap, these things were sold together with other things, which was a bit complicated, but now that there are too many perfumes, it is necessary to open up a special store.

The store Qin Feiyan is already preparing, and the name is Beauty Square.

The Beauty Shop is still open in Dongshi. After all, perfume is something that only the rich and powerful can afford. Dongshi has the most customers, and the specifications of Dongshi are generally higher than those in Xishi. Dongshi can better demonstrate the quality of these products. , I went to West Market, and I might be pulled down immediately.

Sometimes, where a product is located, there will be different feelings and treatment. Maybe the street stalls are the same as the special counters, but the elegance of the counters is definitely not comparable to the street stalls.

The production of perfume is similar to that of toilet water, except that some materials are missing and some other petals are added.

Therefore, for those who make toilet water, making perfume is also very familiar. In a few days, many perfumes were produced.

There are many scents of the perfume. After spraying on the body, it is as if a few flowers have been planted on the body.

Perfume is fatal to men. Many men can't help being impulsive after smelling the smell of perfume. Even people like Qin Tian are no exception.

After the perfume was finished, Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang were asked to use it first. After Tang Rong sprinkled it, Qin Tian killed her on the spot.

As for Lu Huaniang, she also let him eat tofu.

After the perfume was finished, Qin Tian took the perfume to Dongshi with someone. At this time, the Beauty Square had already been renovated and was waiting for the new products to arrive.

There were already a lot of customers in Beauty Square. After all, soaps are very popular now. Moreover, the advertisements for perfumes have been printed early in the morning. These people have long been queuing outside the Beauty Square to buy perfume.

As soon as Qin Tian entered the beauty salon with the perfume, the originally orderly team dispersed suddenly, and a group of women rushed to the front desk in a swarm.

"Give me a bottle of..."

"Give me a bottle of..."

These women are usually considered ladies and elegant people, but in the face of a small amount of perfume, they suddenly burst out with potential that they absolutely do not have on weekdays.

you push me...

A car of perfume was snatched up by these women in less than an hour after it was pulled. In comparison, although the price of soap has been reduced, it is still left out in the cold.

"These crazy bitches..."
