"Major, it's not that I'm unwilling to work hard, but the situation in Fengzhou is also very complicated." Li Simo carefully used the words. After seeing the ** gun warship of the Shuofang Army, he felt more and more powerful.

"There are not many tribes in Fengzhou and Hequ, and there are more than 20,000 accounts in Fengzhou, and more than 10,000 accounts in Hequ. Together, it is more than 30,000 accounts."

The Turkic account is a household, and one account is often a family. The population is four or five, and the number of more than ten is more than 30,000 accounts, at least 100,000.

According to the Turkic tent, at least one army can be generated, and Fengzhou and Henan can also gather 30,000 cavalry. If there is another entourage in each tent, it can even raise 60,000 people.

There are only eight thousand cavalry in Fengzhou now, because these eight thousand cavalry are responsible for defensive tasks and are considered to have been recruited.

The Tang Dynasty military system was the system of government troops. The soldiers of government troops were farming and sent troops during their spare time. The Turks were equivalent to the whole people being soldiers, and as long as they were young and strong, they could be considered as soldiers. When they were grazing, they would send troops to fight, and the superiors ordered the tribe to summon young and strong troops to send troops. According to the scale of the war, they would recruit different numbers of herders as soldiers.

Because of the fertility of Hetao, the Turks have been operating here for more than 20 years, so there are many tribes here. The front and back are more than 100,000 tents, just one southern part of the Yinshan Mountains. The Turks in the east were really gathered together and could gather 100,000 cyclists.

Li Chao asked Li Simo to offer Fengzhou and Henan as his sincerity, which really made Li Simo difficult.

Not to mention that Li Simo has never had the chance to lead the army. He is actually a guest general in Fengzhou. He is not the kind of person who sets up tooth and sets up accounts and is in the command of the government.

The accounts in Fengzhou and Hequ were led by the leaders of several tribes. In addition to the 3,000 soldiers of his own and the 5,000 soldiers of Jie Li, he could not control the other accounts.

Li Simo didn't have that great ability, and could bring these 30,000 accounts to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chao actually knew these situations too.

Ke Qing is still very powerful. After a trip to Fengzhou, the first-hand information he obtained is very valuable. Even Li Chao knew why Li Simo wanted to join Tang. This is a person who suffered a loss for the rest of his life because of his bad appearance.

Alas, Turks prefer to look at their faces.

Who made Li Simo have a Hu face? Although the Turks were called Hu Yi by the Tang Dynasty, the Turks also called those who were tall and deep in the Western Regions Hu people.

The Li family, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, was still criticized by the famous families in the Central Plains because they had some Hu blood. The Turks could not tolerate Li Simo, a Turkic nobleman with the appearance of Hu.

In addition, he is still a sudden person.

But Li Chao didn't look at his face much, so what about Hu's appearance?

Li Simo is quite good-looking, tall and burly, with blond hair and golden beard, with a hooked nose and green eyes, and her face is very obvious. This is a handsome guy.

"I didn't think about this matter carefully before, so we can make a long-term plan. Come on, General Smo, let's eat fish. You must have never eaten this sweet and sour carp before."

Sweet and sour fish, like sweet and sour pork ribs, are all new dishes brought by Li Chao.

Especially for this sweet and sour fish, you must have good vinegar and good sugar. It turns out that although there is vinegar, there is no good sugar, so most people cannot eat this fish.

Sucrose is not uncommon nowadays. Rich people can buy the best sucrose, rock sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, etc.

After washing a two or three pounds of Yellow River carp, put it into a flower knife. Then lift the tail of the fish, let the knife open the knife, sprinkle the fine salt into the knife, marinate for a while, and then evenly wet the starch around the fish and the knife edge.

When the camellia oil in the wok is cooked until it is 70% ripe in medium heat, carry the fish tail into the pot, let the knife be opened, use a spatula to hold the fish in the pan, fry for two minutes, push the fish side of the pot, make the fish square, fry for two minutes, then put the fish back downward for two minutes, then put the fish body flat, press the fish head into the oil with a spatula and fry for two minutes.

When the fish are fried until golden, take it out and set it on.

Then add onion, ginger, garlic, salt, soy sauce, sugar, add clear soup, boil over high heat, add wet starch and stir well, pour in vinegar to form sweet and sour sauce, and then quickly pour on the fish.

The fish made has a raised tail and amber color, which is burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, with a unique flavor of crispy, sour, sweet and salty.

This was done by Li Chao himself for Li Simo.

Li Simo is used to eating beef and mutton, and he either grilled or cooked and stewed. He has never eaten fried beef, but he has never eaten sweet and sour Yellow River carp.

Just looking at this, I saliva came out.

"I don't dare to eat the fish cooked by the Prime Minister."

Li Simo said with a smile.

"What's so embarrassing about this? I have to give the surname to the Supreme Emperor and be listed as a genius, and General Simo also has to give the surname to the Emperor and be listed as a genius. In short, we are still a family now." Li Chao said with a smile.

Li Simo immediately beat the snake and followed the stick, "Indeed, I should respect the prime minister as an uncle."

"Don't, this messes up the generation."

Li Simo hurriedly said, "No chaos, no chaos, this is what it means. The prime minister was given the surname by the emperor, and I was given the surname by His Majesty. I should be a generation lower than the prime minister. I call the prime minister an uncle, there is nothing wrong with it, there is no chaos at all. My uncle is here, please accept my nephew's greeting!"

Li Simo said, and she really got up, lifted her robe and kneeled down.

Li Chao was caught off guard.

Li Simo looked like a Hu man, not as old as the Han man. But even so, Li Chao guessed that this veteran of the four Turkic dynasties should be at least 40 years old.

He is only twenty-three himself, but his nephew is in his forties.

However, if we are judging by seniority, age is not a problem. After all, in this era, there were no birth control measures, so if you can give birth, you will always give birth. Some people are in their sixties and seventies, and their eldest son is in their fifties and sixties, but they still have another child. As a result, the younger son is even younger than the grandson of the eldest son.

In the family, some children are only seven or eight years old, and some old men in their seventies and eighties still have to respect this child’s grandfather.

However, Li Chao and Li Simo are not real royals, and their generation is actually a bit unclear.

But since Li Simo has worshipped his uncle, Li Chao smiled and accepted it.

The nephew of the 23-year-old Duke is a prince in his forties. Now the prince is still kneeling down to worship him as a prince, which is interesting.

"Since that's the case, I'll recognize your nephew, but we'll call it an official position. Please invite the deputy envoy quickly, and eat the fish while it's hot."

Li Simo stood up and sat down.

Pick up the chopsticks, pick up a piece of fish and put it into your mouth.

Vinegar, sweet, salty, crispy, crispy

"Good taste, good taste!" Li Simo praised repeatedly. He had eaten carp from the Yellow River before, either directly sliced, roasted, or stewed. He had never eaten such delicious and unique fish.

Li Chao added a bowl of Lingzhou rice to Li Simo.

"You can't eat sweet and sour fish without rice. The freshly steamed rice is fragrant and soft. It's perfect for pairing with sweet and sour fish, especially when the sweet and sour sauce is mixed into the rice, you can really eat several big bowls in one breath."

Li Simo ate several large bowls in one breath, a sweet and sour Yellow River carp with excellent fragrance, color, flavor and shape. It was several pounds. He ate them cleanly. Even the plates were smeared with rice and ate them all.

Putting down the plate, Li Simo made a satisfactory separation.

After eating Li Chao's fish, you have to find a way for Li Chao.

"Deputy Envoy Li, how do you think we should take Fengzhou and Henan?"

Li Si rubbed his mouth, feeling a little embarrassed.

There are more than 100,000 people with an account of more than 30,000 people, at least 30,000 to 40,000 riders. It is not something that can be done by just getting it done.

"Can you persuade these tribes to submit to our Tang Dynasty?"

"The prime minister, this is a bit difficult. Now the Khanate is still very strong." Li Simo said. The Turks have always believed in the prey of the weak. If the Central Plains are strong, the Turks will not oppose those who join the Central Plains. For example, during the Sui Dynasty, they often did this.

As soon as the civil war failed, he immediately defected to the Sui Dynasty.

The Sui Dynasty also welcomed these people's surrender. Every time they sent people to pick them up, and they also divided their territory, even built cities and resettled them, gave them pastures, and gave them food and grass, etc.

But now the Khanate is quite strong. The Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains still wants to pay tribute to the Turks. Why did they surrender to the Central Plains?

"So, it's all about starting a fight."

Li Simo said hesitantly, "If the war begins, I think we have no chance of winning. Just south of Yinshan, Jie Li can mobilize 100,000 cavalry at any time."

"I have 100,000 soldiers in Shuofang Town." Li Chao said.

"Well!"

Li Simo looked at Li Chao and felt that Li Chao was joking with him. Even if there were 100,000 soldiers in Shuofang Town, even if there were 100,000 soldiers, could the 100,000 soldiers be enough?

The real government soldiers were only 35,000, and there were 15,000 Tang Minfu, another 30,000 surrendered soldiers, and another 20,000 were prisoners and soldiers recruited later.

This is simply a pieced together mob.

Even if they had just destroyed the Liang Shidu, could Liang Shima be comparable to Jie Li?

What are the same one hundred thousand soldiers, Li Chao's 100 thousand Shuofang Army? What are the ones? Jie Li's 100 thousand soldiers, even herders, are cavalry.

Jie Li's 100,000 cavalry must have completely defeated Li Chao's 100,000 Shuofang Army, which is simply a clear idea.

"Prime Minister, are you serious? Do you really want to attack Fengzhou?"

Li Chao looked at Li Simo, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Chang'an.

At Xiwei Bridge, Chai Shao was exhausted and finally returned to Chang'an from Longyou.

Chai Shao was silent at the edge of the rolling water of the Wei River. He looked up at Chang'an from afar, his eyes full of sinisterness.

In Liangzhou, the Grand Governor of Longyou had not yet settled down. As a result, an imperial edict, the emperor replaced him with Dou Dan and transferred him back to the capital. When he was halfway, he realized the reason why the emperor transferred him back to the capital.

The eldest princess of Pingyang divorced him!

It was like a bolt from the blue, and he couldn't believe his ears.

Li Xiuning wants to divorce him!

Why, why, why, why?

She and Li Chao were having trouble in the city. She gritted her teeth and left Chang'an to Longyou. But as a result, she became more and more eager and wanted to divorce herself?

"Princess Changping went to the palace to ask the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty to force Li Pingzhang to divorce his wife and marry her. As a result, Li Pingzhang refused, and then Li Pingzhang was demoted to Shuofang as the governor. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be the shocking achievement of Li Pingzhang in Beijing. He defeated Liang Shidu in half a month and returned to Shuofang in one month."

Before entering Beijing, you can hear rumors about the scandal between his wife and Li San from time to time on the way.

Li San, Li Xiuning.

Chai Shao gritted his teeth, and thought that Chang'an now knew about his wife and Li San, he became even more angry. He was so mom, he couldn't live this life anymore.
