"All the flaws?"

Pingyang looked at Luo Shixin with a look of surprise.

Luo Shixin smiled mysteriously and said, "I picked the Asina tribe and plundered all the supplies from their tribe. Some of them could not be taken away, and they were burned by fire. These include tents, quilts, clothes, and other items to avoid the cold during the winter. Anyway, they are only left to them with corpses and ruins. You also know that the grassland environment is harsh. The biggest natural enemy of the Turks living on the grassland is not our Tang Dynasty, but the climate. The cold on the grassland is far better than our Central Plains. They come to our Central Plains every summer and autumn harvest season, with the purpose of plundering some supplies so that they can live a better winter this year. Now the Asina tribe lacks tents, few clothes, and bedding. If they don't make crazy remedies, they have no chance of spending this winter."

Pingyang nodded and said, "It is true. I also understand the situation of the Turks. Even if it is smooth sailing, winter is a test for them. Moreover, being hit like this, this winter will definitely be a test for them."

Luo Shixin said: "I have received a clear message that Ashina Congli is now scattering people around, sweeping around, hunting, asking for help, or selling horses. He also knows that they are staring at a small tribe in Tiele, wanting to directly plunder winter supplies from them. In other words, they are all busy considering winter matters and have no time to defend anything."

"Why is this?" Pingyang was a little surprised. After a mistake, the Changyizhi Turkic Ashina Congli had already suffered a great loss in Luo Shixin's hands, and he would still relax. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly smiled and said, "No wonder you want to promote what kind of martial arts competition is being held, which is so exciting. It turns out that it is a cover-up?"

"Yes, nor!" Luo Shixin said: "I think that it is necessary to hold similar martial arts competitions regularly. Giving rewards and glory can greatly stimulate soldiers' courage." These are the experiences of later generations. In later generations, all competitive events that can be seen will be granted fame and fortune. Because only fame and fortune can give people motivation. If there is no name or profit, no competitive event can develop and be passed on. Holding martial arts competitions can stimulate the mentality of soldiers to compete for strength and win, so that their combat power can be enhanced.

"But..." A smile appeared on his face: "No one stipulates that I am not allowed to send troops to the Turks before the martial arts competition is held, right? Of course, what others think is his business, it has nothing to do with me."

Pingyang sighed and said, "If you are weak, you are solid. If you are solid, you are weak, and your husband is good at it. Don't say it is the Turkish Ashina Congli. Even we all thought you had won the first victory. It stimulated the border army. Next, we will be patient and take advantage of the situation to improve the quality of the border army. Unexpectedly, your husband still wants to take advantage of the situation to fight a battle."

Luo Shixin said without hesitation: "There is no better way to train troops than war. Using war to support war is my ultimate intention. Why not fight if I can fight?"

"But it's not easy to hide the world this time." Pingyang thought according to his thoughts and said, "Last time, the Langjun used the method of training troops to set up the border, which made Liang Shi think that he was aiming at Shuofang. He was so scared that he hid in the city, causing the surprise attacking army to pass by Shuofang calmly, which made the Turks unaware of anything. Now Liang Shi would not fall into this trick. He relied on the breath of the Turks to survive. When the army passed by his territory again, he would definitely notify Asina Congli of the first. Once Asina Congli was prepared, tens of thousands of Tuojie and the guards under his command would be extremely difficult to deal with."

What she said was actually not extremely difficult to deal with, but it was impossible to deal with at all. Last time, Luo Shixin won with less, and there were many factors. Unexpectedly, the opponent lacked experience and the soldiers' combat power, etc. This time, all the main forces of the Ashina tribe came back, and because the nest was hit by many family members, they had the aura of mourning soldiers. Thousands and eight hundred people fought again, and there was no chance of winning.

Luo Shixin said: "So... this matter is only in the planning, and no real decision is made!" He also understood this and agreed with Pingyang's statement. As the commander of the three armies, he never joked about the lives of soldiers, "But don't forget that I have a strange person like Hou Jie in my hand."

Pingyang's eyes lit up and he cried lowly: "Is this your plan? Is it to find a way to bypass Shuofang and go deep into the heart of the Turkic?"

"Not bad!" Luo Shixin nodded and said, "Because of Shuofang's obstacles, I could not enter the hinterland of the Turks without knowing it. As early as the beginning, I asked Hou Jie to go deep into the mountains and find a road that could lead to the hinterland of the Turks. Even if there is no road, it is okay to open up one. We have time. As long as we can master such a secret road, we can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and send troops to raid the Turks anytime and anywhere, achieving the effect of fighting to support the war. Of course, these are just a planning conjecture that is not very realistic. I have not thought of how to solve the most critical issue. You can regard these as empty talk."

Pingyang shook his head and said, "Mr. Lang is both wise and brave, and he is particularly accurate in grasping fighter jets. Why is it empty talk? Without these thoughts, how can he command the army to fight beautiful battles? I think any far-sighted tactic will have many obstacles, which will hinder one by one, and connect them together, and a beautiful battle will be fought."

Luo Shixin touched his chin and said, "Your statement is very similar to that of the pharmacist, but he is afraid that I will not understand it. He said it is very straightforward. He said that the tactics are like making steamed buns, combining water, noodles, and quacks together, and after processing, they become steamed buns. Nothing less is possible. If there is nothing, find a way to solve it and buy it back. Therefore, as a general, you should not bet on luck and forcefully attack without the steamed buns. However, if water, noodles, and quacks exist, you should not be indecisive and lose your fighting opportunity because of being too worried. Hou Jie has been away for more than two months. I believe that there will be a reply letter in no time. You have to think of a solution as soon as possible."

Pingyang said: "My husband is worried about war horses, right?"

Luo Shixin did not speak, but nodded slightly: The border troops of the Tang Dynasty were connected by Yanzhou and Shuofang, and the two places were connected by majestic and continuous mountains called Baiyu Mountain, which showed a near-east-east direction and blocked the boundary between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. Baiyu Mountain was extremely narrow and long from east to west, and was particularly wide from north to south. The mountains were relatively high, with ridges undulating and gentle, the south and north slopes were asymmetric, steep in the south and slow in the north. The south slope was more severe than the valleys on the north slope, and the ground was broken, so that cliffs were everywhere.

Thanks to the fact that Baiyu Mountain blocked the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, otherwise the Tang Dynasty would become a shared garden, and the Turks could come and go freely anytime and anywhere. Things have also proved here that everything is in two directions. Baiyu Mountain, as the border between the Tang Dynasty, is a natural barrier for the Tang Dynasty to block the invasion of the Turks, but it was not easy for the Tang Dynasty to invade the Turks through Baiyu Mountain.

With Hou Jie's ability, Luo Shixin believed that finding a path to the Turks should not be a problem, but he could also be sure of it. The path he found was never easy to walk.

Humans can overcome poor mountains and bad waters with the climbing ability given by God, but they, the northern war horses, cannot cross the mountains no matter what.

If you don’t have a horse, attacking a tribe on the grassland is still a tribe with relatively strong strength, it will not be easy to die.

If he wants to fight this battle, he will never be able to lead a thousand people. The number must be at least six or seven to truly damage the enemy. This means that they need at least six or seven thousand war horses to cooperate. If they want to hide from Liang's army, they will transport six or seven thousand war horses to the corresponding place. There is no good way yet.

Pingyang pondered for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "There is! We can't do it, but there is one person who can definitely do it."

"Who?" Luo Shixin asked hurriedly. He had already begun to plan a second attack after his first successful success. Looting was not his ultimate goal, and fighting was his plan. As for the harvest, it was by the way. But the surprise attack was only the word "strange". The Tang Dynasty was not ready to confront the Turks on the whole line, and he could not lead the uneven border troops to die with the Turks.

It is impossible for the court to cooperate with him in advance. If you want to win, you still cannot do without the word "Qi".

The first time you use strange is unexpected, but if you want to continue using strange for the second and third time, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

But if the cavalry problem can be solved, the second time using strange tactics will be perfect. Just like Li Jing said, the conditions for making buns are complete, and the materials are only a small amount of command, plus a little luck.

"Tuli!" Pingyang said confidently: "Why did the Langjun forget him? He is now at the peak of his life in the Turkic Grassland. As half of the ruler of the Turkic Grassland, he could still transport thousands of war horses to one place. The Langjun's goal was Ashina Congli. In the previous battle, Tuli almost suffered the losses of Ashina Congli. I believe he would be happy to help with Jie Li's confidant. You can explain to your second brother that he is making a deal with Thunder, and that he can use this batch of horses to cooperate with you. You can use this batch of horses to withdraw to Qingzhou and send someone back to the court in full."

"Good idea!" Luo Shixin slapped his thighs suddenly and shouted: "Don't say that he is returning as much as possible, if he wins, it is not a problem to repay twice. Madam, you are really the lucky star I am."

Pingyang felt a little embarrassed when he heard what he said, but he was extremely happy in his heart and chuckled: "This is the lucky star? In fact, this time I came here, in addition to the rewards I brought to you, I also brought an excellent talent that you are missing and is extremely useful to you."

Luo Shixin was skeptical. Now he dared not say that he was full of talents, but most of them were top talents, Su Dingfang, Xi Junmai, Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, and Wang Xuance, all famous figures in history.

Now he is really not worried about talents, but seeing that Ping Yang is so confident, he also becomes curious. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
