Red Tang

Li Kuo's body gradually got better under the careful conditioning of famous doctors. Although he still couldn't do strenuous exercise, he could go to the ground and do some simple restorative activities. <’s eye disease made many famous doctors suffer, and the poison he was suffering from was snake venom, which was the most difficult to cure.Fortunately, Li Kuo and other teenagers burned many poisonous weeds by mistake, and the two poisons were produced and restrained by each other, which offset most of them.Coupled with the help of Guo Guo's wife Yang Huahua, after taking a few detoxification and nourishing warm medicines for conditioning, it is miraculous that she can see the real thing.

Seeing the two elder brothers who were injured for him gradually recover from their injuries, Li Kuo's mood gradually became clearer.In the past few days, he cultivated his body in Mrs. Guo's house, and he was very free, so he and Mrs. Guo's only son Pei Hui set up a sand table in the courtyard and set up a show. (Note 1)

Although Pei Hui looks very gentle, he doesn't like Confucianism in Confucianism.In addition to his hobby of mathematics, Pei Hui is also very interested in the art of war.After a lot of hard work, Li Kuo had no choice but to agree to play a game with him in sand table and performance, in order to satisfy this little guy's interest.

"Brother Li, you will come first!" Pei Hui rubbed his palms lightly and nodded.

"Then I'm not going to be polite!" Li Kuo moved the stage and started to make arrangements.This time, the two warring parties they imitated were Tubo and Datang. It was agreed that the two would represent Datang and Tubo respectively, and they would exchange offense and defense after the game.The attacking army is 5, and the defending army is 2.Each Yancho represents a thousand troops, red represents the siege army, and black represents the defending army.

Now Li Kuo is using the Datang army, and I saw that he divided the 3 red soldiers and horses into three.There are 1 Chinese troops, and a total of [-] performances.There are [-] troops on the left and right respectively, protecting both sides.

I saw that the young general, representing the Chinese army, gently pushed in the direction of Shanzhou (Note 2), and then stopped moving. "My western army is divided into two halves. One half pretends to attack Shibao City, and will stop your 3 defenders at all costs! The other half goes from Linfan City to Suirong City, bypasses Chiling, and crosses the Dalai Lama. Feichuan, use Tuyuhun (Note [-]) to rush down from Jishi Mountain, and I will kill you by surprise!" The young man planted the pennant on Jishi Mountain, and half of the mountain range was occupied by the Tang army in an instant.

"Eh." Cold sweat was already oozing from Pei Hui's forehead, and he hurriedly placed two black actors in the valley along Chiling in an attempt to seal off the Tang army's offensive route.

"You can't put down so many defenders!" Li Kuo smiled, and immediately pointed out the loopholes in Pei Hui's arrangement: "The terrain around Chiling is rugged and the supply is difficult. It is impossible to accommodate so many soldiers. As far as I know, the largest Fortress can only accommodate 300 garrison soldiers at the same time."

"Then you can make thousands of Tang troops cross the snow-covered mountain at the same time without making a sound? I have deployed three thousand heavy troops in Dafeiling, and you will never appear behind me!" Pei Hui pouted unwillingly. Opened his mouth and retorted.As soon as he came up, he was caught off guard by Li Kuo. This move was too dangerous and new, and there was no explanation in the military book!

Li Kuo smiled, and moved the "Tang Army" killed from Chiling towards the West Sea (Note 4) and said, "Don't forget, I don't have to take the mountain road. If the West Sea freezes in winter, I will Tell the soldiers to walk with them, how can they make a sound?"

"Then, then your siege troops to the west will never even think about stepping through Shibao City!" Pei Hui shook his head, refusing to admit that he had made a mistake in deploying his troops.As long as Shibao City is not attacked from the front, it is tantamount to a dream to sneak attack on the rear with only three thousand Tang troops.

"My right army set out from Shancheng, passed through Suihe and guarded Zhuo, crossed from the fortress of Jishi army, and took the two cities of Wanxiu and Baigu directly." Li Kuo pushed 1 people from the right army unhurriedly. In the past, with a relieved smile.

Pei Hui's face has turned pale. If the Tang army is allowed to attack the two cities of Wanxiu and Baigu, his two southern routes will be cut off.The defenders of Stone Castle City will only be supplied with military pay from the Western Front!

However, the number of the Tang army is at a disadvantage after all, and it will inevitably be stretched after entering the hinterland. As long as I send [-] defenders to guard the line from Dafeiling to Moliyi, the rear of Shibao City will be safe, and the Tang army will not be able to leap over Chiling even with wings !

"Where's your [-] Chinese army? Just stand by and watch?" Pei Hui pointed lightly at Li Kuo's [-] Tang army gathered in Shancheng, and asked tentatively.

"My [-] Chinese army!" Li Kuo smiled slyly: "Naturally besiege the city and fight for aid, and eat your food transport team!"

"Ah!" Pei Hui exclaimed and slapped his forehead.He didn't expect that the opponent's main force would hold back their troops because they wanted to besiege the city.Although the terrain of Shibao City is dangerous, it can be said that one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it.But the biggest disadvantage is that it occupies too small an area and cannot hoard too many supplies.If the dried meat and clear water needed by the soldiers were not sent to the fortress in time, the defenders in Shibao City would starve to death in just ten days without the Tang army attacking the city!

"Brother Kuo'er, I lost!" Seeing that Li Kuo had calculated all his plans, Pei Hui cupped his hands and admitted defeat.

"Actually, you're not bad, I'm just talking on paper!" Li Kuo waved his hand, comforting.

"Hui'er is still estimating the performance here!" Yang Zhao walked around to the backyard at some point, stepped forward to touch Pei Hui's forehead and said in a voice.

"Uncle Zhao!" Seeing Yang Zhao coming, Pei Hui immediately stood up and saluted him respectfully.

"You!" Yang Zhao shook his head and smiled wryly.What Sanmei said was right, his nephew is too reserved, he should practice hard.

"It's good to spend more time with Nephew Kuo Xian, he is a leader among the young talents of our Tang Dynasty." Yang Zhao looked at Li Kuo who was beside him, and nodded slightly. "By the way, I'm here to tell Nephew Kuo Xian good news!"

"Master Yang, please explain clearly." Li Kuo frowned at Yang Zhao's deliberate behavior, but still respectfully returned a junior salute.

"Hehe, it's like this. The Tubo monster monk's rumors to confuse the people in the Zhongnan Mountain Col have been confirmed by Dali Temple. Nephew Kuoxian is brave and fearless, which is highly appreciated by His Majesty. However, Nephew Kuoxian, you have been promoted too quickly recently, and His Majesty is afraid of others Gossip, I specially designate you as a county male! (Note 5)"

"Oh, I would like to thank Your Majesty, the old man Long En." Li Kuo cupped his hands in the direction of Daming Palace, his expression very peaceful.

Seeing that Li Kuo's reaction was a bit lukewarm, Yang Zhao couldn't help but feel a little resentful.In his opinion, it is a great thing that Li Kuo, a poor boy, can get a real title.This means that he has been favored by His Majesty the Emperor and officially joined the ranks of the family.Although the status of this family is as humble as duckweed.

"I know that Nephew Kuo Xian is indifferent to fame and fortune, but there is one thing that Nephew Kuo Xian is definitely interested in!" Yang Zhao was unwilling to let this plan fail, and Qiqiao's lips twitched again.Seeing Li Kuo's acquiescence, Yang Zhao paused, swallowed, and said, "Didn't the Tubo prince be assassinated a few days ago? His Majesty ordered the Jingzhao Mansion to solve the case within a time limit. I don't know who started it. When he went to court yesterday, Censor Cao Yong actually came up with a shocking report, impeaching the king of Guangping County for his favor and arrogance, and buying murder to kill people!"

"What!" Li Kuo asked suddenly, loudly.This news is not unreasonable. The King of Guangping is the most beloved grandson of the current emperor and the eldest son of His Highness the Crown Prince.Yushitai made a sudden effort, and the impeachment of King Guangping was obviously aimed at the East Palace.Regardless of whether he admits it or not, in the eyes of outsiders, he, Li Kuo, has already been bound to the East Palace as one, and both will be prosperous and all will be damaged.When this kind of thing happened, the attitude of the Holy Majesty was always important.This kind of case can be big or small, if the sage intends to pursue it, it can cause a lot of trouble in the city, if the sage intends to calm the matter, it will be settled in the end.

"I knew you were interested!" Yang Zhao pouted, quite proudly. "Actually, the situation is not as bad as you think. Although His Majesty ordered a strict investigation into this matter, I heard from Gao Hussar that this time, His Majesty, there was a lot of thunder and little rain. Who doesn't know that the old man loves this grandson the most, why? Because of one or two rumors, I will have trouble with my own flesh and blood!"
