"That's right, the black rider went north, although he didn't take shame, he warned Jieli Tang Jun that he is not easy to mess with." Li Xiaogong nodded in agreement.

"Looking at the configuration and equipment of the black cavalry, I can't help but think of Luo Yi's Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry. However, the number of black cavalry is even greater." Qin Qiu looked at Uncle Cao Ji, Liu Renyuan said.

"Your Majesty, the victory of the black cavalry is worthy of congratulations. However, in previous winters, Jieli sent cavalry southward to plunder the border people. In this battle, Chen Yi fought tit for tat, causing heavy losses to the Turkic border tribes. Erli must have been mad when he heard the news. In addition, there was heavy snow in winter, Turkic ministries have suffered, and the court must prepare in advance to prevent accidents." When Li Shimin and others were happy, Li Jing suggested.

Speaking of caution, Cao Jishu said loudly: "Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu is right. When the last general led his army to march north, Yan Li had secretly mobilized troops to the border. According to the captives, the Turkic tribes suffered from drought in summer and snowstorms in winter, and the tribes suffered heavy losses. Many leaders supported Jieli to send troops south, and maybe Jieli sent troops to invade the territory at the end of the next year or in spring."

"Yes, Yan Li's prestige has been greatly reduced at present, and he urgently needs to launch a war to change the situation and restore his prestige." Liu Ren wished.

Ha ha……

Li Shimin nodded slightly and clenched his fists.

Today's Datang is by no means what it was two years ago.
Erli urgently needs a war to ease the internal conflicts of the Turks. Why doesn't he want to start a war to wash away the shame of Weishui.

He was not sure of defeating Xieli before, but after two years of dormancy, the Tang army was strong and strong, and their fighting spirit was high. If Jieli dared to come, he would definitely injure Xieli severely and turn the border into a grave for Turkic cavalry.

Moreover, the imperial court plans to fight in the coming year, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, so as to reduce the loss of the Tang army.

According to what Uncle Cao Ji said, the border must be cautious.

Upon learning of Jieli's dispatch of troops, Li Jing said cautiously, "Your Majesty, this news is very important, and the imperial court must prepare in advance."

"That's right, Li Daozong, Zhang Shigui marched south, Ruo Erli sent troops south, the court fought on two fronts, the situation may be very delicate." Changsun Wuji looked worried.

"Master Changsun, without Li Daozong, with the Shenwu army under Chen Yi's command, it is not a big problem to fight on the two fronts." Li Xiaogong said.

When the generals expressed their opinions, they paid attention to the possible war in the north.Chen Yituocong frowned slightly, feeling extremely curious inside.

If he remembers correctly, in the winter of the third year of Zhenguan, Xieli invaded with his army, and was eventually annihilated by Li Ji's army.

It was only the winter of the second year of Zhenguan at this time, and Xieli had already shown signs of sending troops. Could it be that because of his crossing, the historical trajectory was brought forward.

In this case, he has to prepare in advance.

Suddenly, Yu Chi Gong clasped his fists to invite Ying: "Your Majesty, the last general would like to go to the frontier fortress, stay in Shuofang City, and be vigilant against Jieli."

"No need!"

Li Shimin refused loudly, and ordered to Fang Xuanling: "Pass down my will and tell the generals at the border to closely monitor the actions of the Turks. If there is any movement of troops and horses, they must report urgently within eight hundred miles."

"Here!"

Fang Xuanling said.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed.

Chen Yi came back to his senses, and said with a light smile, "Your Majesty, the imperial court has more and more food, and there is still a surplus of internal slaves. The three armies are vigorous. Ruo Erli dared to invade the frontier. He wiped out the Turks in the first battle, and captured Yan Li alive in Chang'an. , will be Datang’s horse grazing land.”

hiss.

Hearing the sound, Li Shimin couldn't help but let out a long breath.

destroy.

Although they were full of confidence, they only managed to severely injure Xieli's elite, and did not dare to have the idea of ​​destroying the Turks and capturing Xieli to Chang'an. "Nephew, are you not crazy?" Li Xiaogong touched Chen Yi's forehead and said in surprise.

"That's right, Jieli has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and the Tang army is strong, so it may not be able to win, so why talk about destroying the Turks." Cheng Yaojin said in astonishment.

Li Shimin was also surprised, and kindly reminded: "That's right, you can't talk too much, everyone here is a general, and has far more experience in combat than you."

Full loss, modest benefit.

What's more, facing the rival Jie Lini.

The generals suspected that Chen Yi was speaking out loud, and their eyes fell on him, waiting for him to tell a plan.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yi changed the subject and said in a loud voice: "Uncle Cao Ji, Liu Renyuan, pass on my general order, the black knights and this general will return to the camp, and have a banquet for everyone. Remember to bring the skilled fighters of the black knights to the commander's tent for the banquet, and the rest of the black knights will kill you." Pigs slaughter sheep, drink wine and celebrate."

When Uncle Cao embraced his fists to accept the order, Li Jing stepped forward to block him, and said to Chen Yi, "Nephew, you have aroused everyone's interest, how can you escape."

"Yes, we should talk about the Northern Expedition," Li Ji agreed.

Li Shimin rolled his eyes at Chen Yi, and shouted: "Can you hurry up, I am so anxious, will you pay for your life?"

"Uh……"

Chen Yi had no choice but to change his mind temporarily, and hosted a banquet in the mansion to entertain Li Shimin's monarchs and ministers, the leader of the black cavalry, and ordered the people in Zhuangzi to kill pigs and sheep to celebrate the achievements of the remaining black cavalry.

Back to the villa.

Chen Yi reminds Lan Xuan, Lian Xin arranges a maid for a banquet, and takes Wu Xu away by the way, lest she stay embarrassing.

After all the people were seated, Li Shimin held up his glass to drink, and hurriedly urged: "My son-in-law, quickly tell me your strategy."

"Yes, hurry up." Li Jing was anxious.

Recently, he is deducing the battle between the two sides, and he has a strong interest in Chen Yi's strategy.

Chen Yi shrugged his shoulders and said bluntly: "Shicai, listening to everyone's conversation, I am worried that the imperial court will fight on the north and south fronts, which will increase the uncertainty of the situation. I don't think there is any need to worry. Zhang Shigui is by no means a waste, and Xieli is not a hero. As for the Northern Expedition, I have already presented the strategy.

If Jieli sent his troops to the south and transferred Li Daozong back to the north, it could still be carried out steadily. "

"Nonsense, you are a big strategy, a tactical one." Cheng Yaojin said violently.

"Yes, talk about tactics." Li Xiaogong urged.

"Can you do it, nephew, do you plan to leave your meritorious service to the Shenwu Army?" Yu Chigong said.

"cut."

Chen Yi showed contempt on his face.

greedy for merit.

Is he full while he is full?
"Turk is just a sharpening stone, from Goguryeo and Khitan in the east to Tuyuhun and Tubo in the west, can't you make meritorious deeds by conquering these places?" Then Chen Yi snapped his fingers and asked Zhang Meng to bring the sand table.

Immediately, Li Shimin and his subjects got up and surrounded him.

They are no strangers to the sand table, and they are even more curious about the military deduction on the sand table.

However, what Zhang Meng brought was just an ordinary sand table with no hair on it.

Chen Yi didn't talk too much, and said bluntly: "The times make heroes, but heroes still change the times, and the battle is the same. A few key battles are enough to change the situation of the battle. For example, the gate of life in Dingxiang City is in Eyang Ridge.

Jieli's deathbed when he fled back to Saibei was at Qikou.

In the imperial court's Northern Expedition, if these two battles were fought well, Jieli would surely lose.

Jieli had no choice but to flee to Lingzhou and Gaochang to avoid disaster. Therefore, he sent troops in advance to stop the Northern Expedition.

I guess it will be three months sooner or half a year later, the Turks will perish, and Yan Li will be imprisoned in Chang'an. "

As he spoke, he planted the military flag on the sand table, clearly depicting the movements and endings of the troops of both sides.

"hiss……"

March?

Destroy the Turks and capture Jieli.

If Chen Yi said it himself, they wouldn't even dare to think about it?
The key point is that Chen Yi's words are definitely not nonsense. Eyang Ridge has indeed determined the southern gate of Xiangcheng. Seizing Eyang Ridge will make Xiangcheng a precarious city, and stationing troops at Qikou will indeed cut off Jieli's retreat.

Jieli was defeated like a mountain, and finally had to flee to Gaochang via Lingzhou.

Listening to Chen Yi's deduction, everyone in the hall couldn't help taking a deep breath.

He was in Chang'an, but he clearly arranged the frontier war.

It is really in the midst of strategizing, decisive victory thousands of miles away.

Listening to Chen Yi's explanation, Li Shimin made deduction one after another, his face gradually turned red, and his expression was extremely excited.

March.

In March, destroy the old enemy.

"My son-in-law, how confident are you?"

"Your Majesty, Uncle Li is the commander in chief of the Northern Expedition. Uncle Li's answer is more appropriate." Chen Yi looked at Li Jing and said.

His strategies are all Li Jing's, and Li Ji's strategies are more secure from their point of view.

Li Jing is also deduced, Chen Yi's proposal coincides with his strategy, directly proving the feasibility of his recent sand table deduction, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, according to Chen Yi's strategy, [-]% and [-]% will be sure in the end. "

Seventy percent?

Li Shimin picked up the wine glass, drinking and meditating.
