Man Tanghong

Chapter 978 There is no bad option in the multiple choice questions of the superior
Zhao Chengyong bowed and agreed, and walked out of the Chinese army tent holding the box containing Liang Shidu's head.

After the sound of Zhao Chengyong's footsteps completely disappeared, Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin and said, "We have already conquered the Kingdom of Liang, and the Dahe Alliance should be coming soon, and only Jieli is left.

As long as Jieli is captured, we can discuss with Ashnabil whether we should accept his surrender. "

"Ah..."

Li Shimin sneezed, rubbed his reddened nose, and said contemptuously, "You have no intention of recruiting Ashinabil, so why are you pretending to be here?"

Li Yuanji had just finished playing with the head of a great enemy, and the other big enemies had already been on Datang's cutting board. It was only a matter of time before the head was cut off, so he was in a good mood, and he didn't care about Li Shimin. I can't say that, we still need Ashinabil to surrender..."

Li Shimin pursed his lips and said mockingly: "Yes, you need Ashinabil to surrender, but you won't accept surrender."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin snorted again and continued: "However, don't be too happy, it's winter now, and there are frequent heavy snowfalls on the grassland.

Once the heavy snow covered, our army couldn't tell the direction at all.

The prairie people are different, they are used to this kind of weather, and they have a way to distinguish the direction in this kind of weather.

Under such circumstances, once Li Jing, Ashina Simo, and that man named Yi Nan had something wrong and let Xieli escape from their encirclement, it is very likely that Xieli would be lost.

Xieli has already suffered a loss in the hands of my Tang Dynasty, and if he suffers another loss, there is a high probability that he will hide, and it will be difficult for you to find him again.

And this kind of hero is not scary when he stands up, but he is scary when he hides.

At that time, if you don't get rid of him for a day, you will have no peace for a day. "

The peace Li Shimin mentioned refers to the peace of mind.

Li Yuanji also knew this truth.

This is like beating a snake. The snake is actually not that scary when it is in front of you. As long as you hold a sharp weapon, it is possible to kill it. But if the snake hides and hides around you, even if you are scared If it doesn't come to you, it will make you sleepless and sleepy.

Xieli is not considered a snake to Datang now, he should be regarded as a lame old wolf, but once he is let go, he will become a snake.

The kind of snake that doesn't know when to emerge from your side and launch a sudden attack on you.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that he is a threat to Datang and will scare people, but it is absolutely true to say that he will be intimidating.

As long as he is still alive, everyone in Datang will remember that there is such a person, and will be wary of him appearing suddenly and launching a surprise attack on Datang.

Therefore, for the sake of the safety of Tang Dynasty, and also in order not to take care of himself, Xieli must not be let go.

"Second brother doesn't need to worry about this matter. I have told Li Jing not to let Xieli run away. I believe he will not let me down."

Li Yuanji said with a smile, full of confidence in his words.

The reason why he had such great confidence was not that he really believed that Li Jing would not let him down, but that he sent Xieli's nemesis to Yinshan not long after Li Jing went out to fight.

Who is Xieli's nemesis?

That is Zhang Baoxiang, who is not well-known in history, but has the first luck in the Tang Dynasty.

Because of him, Zhang Baoxiang did not become the deputy chief of the Dingxiang Road March as he did in history, but became the deputy chief of the Yansui Road March. Li Shiji's subordinates acted as cattle and horses.

So it is very easy to transfer Zhang Baoxiang to Yinshan, one sentence is enough, and there is no need to do anything else.

With the double insurance of Zhang Baoxiang, it is unlikely that Xieli will escape.

Even if Zhang Baoxiang's luck failed, it wouldn't be a bad thing if Jieli got away.

Although it is easy to become an annoying thing after Xieli escapes, the incident of Xieli escape can also be used as an excuse for Datang to train the Turkic people.

For example, he used this to ask Ashina Simo and other Turkic chieftains who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty whether they deliberately let Xieli go.

Ashina Simo, as well as other Turkic chiefs, will give more loyalty in order to clear their suspicions.

It will be easier for Datang to drive them.

Many people think that when people in positions of power make choices, they will face the same options as they do, and will choose between good and bad.

actually not.

Many times, when the superiors make choices, the choices they face are not good or bad, but very good, and good, there is no bad at all.

Because mature superiors will only pursue the good and the good when doing things, and will not pursue the bad at all. Once a bad option comes up, they would rather not do it, and they will not end up.

Therefore, after they are finished, there will be no bad options among the options they face.

Take the case of Jieli as an example. After Jieli was defeated in Gyeongju and the Turks were divided again, Datang did not have the option of breaking down the matter against Shangjieli.

Because Xieli's strength has been weakened to the point of utter desperation, while Datang's strength is growing rapidly.

In the past, everyone was evenly matched, and even Datang was weaker than Turkic, but now Datang's strength far surpasses Turkic.

Fighting Turks is almost crushing if you don't make any faint moves.

Therefore, in the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, there was no option of victory or defeat, only the option of a unilateral big victory or a small victory for the Tang Dynasty.

In this case, whether Xieli was captured or escaped, it would not affect the overall situation.

Snakes are snakes after all, no matter how aggressive they are, they are no match for wolves, tigers and leopards.

Although jackals have a bad reputation in the animal world, and using it to describe people also has the meaning of treating people as bad guys, but Datang has this kind of people who look like jackals.

Therefore, it is not abrupt to describe the nobles of Tang Dynasty as wolves, tigers and leopards.

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted and said, "He has let you down, so what can you do, can you still kill him?"

Li Yuanji pursed his lips, "Ding Xueneng", ahem, a hard bar is boring.

Jieli is now ruined, and if he loses again in Mobei, he will be completely unable to recover. All he can do is to take the remnants and flee to the Western Turks to survive.

So whether Xieli was captured or not won't affect the overall situation, so why bother to argue about this kind of thing?

What's more, even if Xieli went to Western Turks, he would not be tolerated by Tong Yehu, who had already buried the loess in Tianlinggai, and Yi Nan would not forget his revenge for killing his father.

Therefore, Xieli went to the Western Turks, and he was still alive. Whether he could survive under the double strangulation of Tong Yehu and Yi Nan was a question, let alone other things.

"Stay here by yourself, I'll go out for a walk."

Li Yuanji couldn't be bothered to talk to Li Shimin, a good guy, so he put on a cloak and left the camp of the Chinese army.

The Turks in October have entered the harsh winter, so the weather is extraordinarily cold.

Even with yuan clothes to keep them warm, the soldiers still had cold noses and some had chilblains.

So in their spare time, they would sit together in groups of three or five, leaning against the tent, facing the sun, and smearing each other with antifreeze marmot oil.

Since the marmot is a product of the grassland, and the Tang Dynasty entered the grassland for the first time, the reserve of marmot oil is not rich, only some seized from various Turkic tribes, so the soldiers will cherish it when using it.

Li Yuanji watched helplessly as two soldiers of similar age, one of them rubbed the other's hand frantically after applying marmot oil.

It seems that the soldier who was the first to apply marmot oil is applying marmot oil to another soldier, but if you look closely, you will find that they are sharing that little bit of marmot oil.

Because both of them had frostbite on their hands, the bit of marmot oil they applied was evenly spread on both of their hands.

Li Yuanji summoned Li Shiji, who was patrolling the camp in the distance, and asked, "How many soldiers in the camp have frostbite?"

Li Shiji said bitterly: "It's almost full length, some of the scouts who often run outside need amputation..."

When frostbite develops to a certain extent, amputation is inevitable.

Because amputation can still live, if not amputation, there is a high possibility of death.

Datang's medical conditions are very limited, and so are the medical resources.

Even though medical resources have increased on a large scale in recent years, and medical conditions have also improved significantly, it still cannot take care of a large number of people.

For example, when a large army is going out and almost all suffer from frostbite, it is impossible to take care of everyone, so that everyone can survive head and tail after suffering from frostbite.

Therefore, in the case of large-scale frostbite and severe frostbite, amputation is the most effective and most helpless treatment.

"Didn't the soldiers be given marmot oil and firewood to keep out the cold?"

Li Yuanji frowned and asked.

Li Shiji said with a wry smile: "The quantity of marmot oil is limited, I have given priority to supplying it to the soldiers who are fighting outside, and the remaining soldiers can not get much.

As for firewood to keep out the cold, it was cow dung and horse dung, which had a strong smell when burned, and the soldiers refused to use it. "

Li Yuanji stared and said, "On the grassland, instead of burning cow dung or horse dung, let people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs send some dry firewood or charcoal, do you think it's possible?"

Strange to say, when the Han people are submissive, they are very submissive, and they will be so submissive that it makes you feel comfortable no matter how you look at them, but when they are stubborn, they are so stubborn that they make you want to beat someone.

Take the burning of cow dung and horse dung as an example.

Grassland people are so used to it that they even use cow dung and horse dung as fuel for their daily needs.

But the Han people can't do it, because they dislike the smell of cow dung and horse dung when burned, so they don't want to use it as normal firewood to burn, and they don't want to use it for warmth.

Li Shiji smiled even more bitterly, and said: "I know it's impossible, but I have persuaded and persuaded, scolded and scolded, and even beat me, but they just don't listen to me."

Li Yuanji was silent for a while, then frowned and said, "Then we can only lead by example."
