lying down

By November, it was chilly.

Ouyang Xiyi was in the private room facing the street of the restaurant, his limbs were stretched out, he didn't look like a general at all, he held on to the warm and suitable "burning fire" with one hand, and knocked rhythmically on the window lattice with the other hand.

The window was open, and a cool breeze squeezed in, blowing the hot air from the mouth of the wine gourd.But Ouyang didn't care, and watched the passers-by rushing to make a living with great interest, enjoying the rare leisure time by the way.

From the end of May to the end of October, for five full months, one day off every ten days, a total of [-] days of vacation, Ouyang basically used it to "sleep hard", as if the outside world had been cut off from him.In the past five months, the entire Bingzhou camp has been training hard. The original system of combining soldiers and farmers is not seen here. A trace of tension gradually diffuses in the barracks. No one is stupid. This kind of hard training is obviously a We are preparing for war, otherwise, the situation in Bingzhou would not be such a tense border situation.In addition, these tens of thousands of people are all elite government soldiers, and the military pay is provided by the court. Everyone enjoys the permanent land, so even if they cannot farm in their spare time, there is no loss at all.

Even the ordinary soldiers in the Bingzhou camp were like this, and Ouyang, the special brigade who claimed to be the best in Tang Dynasty, had no reason to relax.On the contrary, their training method was even more arduous—they were directly dragged by Ouyang to uninhabited mountains and fields for closed special training every half a month.Because of this special training, six or seven people in the Ouyang camp were injured and fractured, but they have recovered and returned to the team so far. One can imagine the cruelty of the training.The weight of the soldiers in the whole brigade has generally dropped, ranging from three to five catties to as many as seven or eight catties. The men in the entire battalion randomly pulled out a male model with a six-pack abdominal muscle. , Rolling and running, which one is not a waste of energy?But in these five months, the special brigade has gained far more than it paid.Not to mention how much the physical fitness has improved, but the tacit understanding and cooperation between the whole team has improved a lot. The toddler role of the special brigade has grown up.Coupled with the fact that Ouyang selectively narrated the strategies, tactics and special skills of the special forces in his previous life intentionally or unintentionally, the special brigade has undergone qualitative changes.

Ouyang thought of the excitement, raised his cup and drank it with his head up, and drank it dry in one gulp...

"Jieli indulges in violence, punishes kindness, and is close to villains. This master is in a daze, and he can take one. The other tribes are the same as Luo, Pugu, Huihe, and Yantuo. They are all independent rulers. The picture shows the backlash. This group of people rebelled against the subordinates, two things can be chosen. Tuli is suspected, and they can avoid it with light cavalry. Drought, lack of food, can take four. Jieli Shu Turk, pro-Hu, Hu's nature overturned, the army is approaching, there will be changes inside, can take five. There are many Chinese in the north. , Wang Shizhi, who should have a response, can take the six. The old minister thought..." Li Shimin squinted his eyes, carefully looked at the note from Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, and an unreadable smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth .

This notebook was sent to my imperial case the day before yesterday, and I have read it six times.Before this, the content of this notebook had not been told to anyone, but today is different.

The eldest grandson Wuji sat on the right side of Li Shimin, he, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Hou Junji, Cheng Yaojin and other seven people had already sat down for a cup of tea, none of them knew what the emperor had ordered.But as long as you look at the identities of the people present today, you will know that there must be major events to be determined.

"All my loves, I want you to read this book by leaving you here early today. Because of the hugeness involved, I almost gave up the power of the whole country. Therefore, I am not arbitrary. After reading this, all my loves will share with you Let's add up together." Li Shimin said calmly, but it was impossible to figure out anything from his expression.He closed the booklet and handed it to the old eunuch Shi Chen next to him for circulation, but he stood up with a flick of his sleeves, unfolded the map under the screen behind him, and looked at it with his hands behind his back.

Seeing Li Shimin unfolding the map, Du Ruhui suddenly thought of something, turned his head and glanced at Fang Xuanling, only to see Fang Xuanling nodded slightly, which made him suddenly realize.

The book was circulated in the hands of everyone, and the hall was still silent, but the sound of breathing in the silence gradually became heavier. When Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting at the end, took a look in his hand, he stood up abruptly and shouted excitedly: "Saint, what is this?" It is really God helping me! I am not talented, please order to attack!"

Seeing Cheng Heizi's behavior, everyone laughed softly, and the weird atmosphere just now was swept away.There were some things they wanted to say but they couldn't. They didn't want Cheng Heizi, who seemed straightforward and naive, to always speak freely and never leave his words in the mansion.

Li Shimin also laughed out loud, but when he turned around, he reprimanded with a smile on his face: "Zhijie, why don't you change your old problems? Just be careful, if this thing works, you must be a part of it." Son."

"Your Majesty, I think that the national conditions are stable now and the national power is just recovering. If we fight against the back now, I'm afraid it will be unsafe!" Although Changsun Wuji followed the emperor to participate in a series of preparations for the Northern Expedition, deep down he was He is not willing to start the war now, after all, Jieli's army went to Chang'an last year, and he still has some shadows in his heart.Now that Datang has just breathed a sigh of relief and is about to send troops across the country, it is really a dangerous thing.

"I don't think so! The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, Dudu Zhang's six rules are exactly the name of my Northern Expedition. I have the confidence to go down in one battle, and I hope the emperor will send troops!" Hou Junji was overwhelmed when he heard Changsun Wuji's words. unwilling.The Flying Tiger Army that he ordered the emperor to train secretly has not been short-lived, and it has already been gearing up and can't stand it anymore. Now that Zhang Gongjin comes out this way, it's just sleepy and giving pillows, it's too timely!

Li Shimin saw that there were two diametrically opposed opinions just at the beginning, frowned slightly, cast a sidelong glance at Fang Xuanling, and said by name: "Xuanling, what should you think?"

Fang Xuanling has been secretly observing the emperor's small movements from the beginning to the end, and he can't see anything ahead. Ever since Li Shimin opened the map of the Tang Dynasty with his own hands, he knew that the emperor had already made up his mind, and today's move was just a formality. Give everyone a vaccination; the second is to unify the opinions of the DPRK and China, so that preparations can be made early.

"I think the six reasons Zhang Dudu said to attack the Turks are neither right nor far away! I think the Turks first broke their promises and harassed our northern states and counties all the year round, plundering their wealth and population, so that our northern border near the frontier could not develop all the year round. Until last year Unexpectedly, the wolf is full of ambition and goes straight down. Taking advantage of the danger of others, he wants to take my country. Although the sage made an alliance with Weishui, who knows if he will lead his troops to the south again one day? Jieli is very ambitious. Its wings are growing day by day, and it is very dangerous! Looking at my Tang Dynasty again, although the current national strength is slightly weak, how is Turkic? How is Turkic? Internal and external troubles are the most severe in more than ten years. If we can use this opportunity properly, we must If it can be decided in one battle, let me be exempted from the troubles of the north forever!" Fang Xuanling's answer was decisive, but every sentence made sense.His words were like a shot in the arm, immediately mobilizing the atmosphere in the hall.

Li Shimin nodded with a smile but was noncommittal, turned around and continued to look at the map.Everyone looked at Du Ruhui who was silent, everyone knew that the emperor was waiting for his opinion.

Is Fang Mou Du Juan a waste of fame?It was these two who analyzed and determined many major events, which helped Li Er to come to the present day.

Du Ruhui looked at the eyes of everyone and smiled, covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed a few times. Since the weather turned cold, he has been ill and has not recovered. If it hadn't been for the Great Court Meeting, he would still be recuperating at home.

"Saint, I don't need to say anything. I only know that I should continue to suffer from the chaos. This is a god-sent opportunity, don't miss it!"

At this time, Li Shimin slammed down the map with his hand, and it was on the vast expanse of Turks in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty. When he heard a loud "pop", Li Shimin turned around and said in a deep voice: "I The decision is made, the Northern Expedition begins!"
