As winter approaches, the opinions of the Tang army's chief and deputy commander are different.

Mr. Zhang advocated peace of mind and fight again after the spring of the following year, but Li Jing wanted to take a dangerous move and was unwilling to let go of the Turks, whose morale was gradually declining. He wanted to earn his contributions in one battle, and in the third year of Zhenguan, he occupied the entire area south of Yinshan.

Li Jing is the commander of the three armies. Since Li Jing strongly advocates fighting, Zhang Gongjin, as the deputy general, can only obey it. But if Li Jing just insists on ordering, Zhang Gongjin himself will think about it differently, which will be unfavorable to the situation.

Just as Li Jing was thinking about how to resolve the current differences, news suddenly came from the city gate.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, someone from the city gate came to ask for a letter with His Highness the King of Shu." The soldiers guarding the city were ordered to come in and report.

The Turks were newly defeated, and Li Ke's situation in the Turks would definitely not be very good. When Li Jing heard that someone came to ask for a letter with the King of Shu to ask for a meeting, Li Jing's first reaction was that the Turks' meticulous actions wanted to use this to deceive the city.

"How many people outside the city?" Li Jing asked.

The soldier replied: "There is only one person outside the city. This person was dressed in a broken dress and looked tired, as if he was coming overnight."

Only one person?

If the Turks wanted to trick the city gate, it would be natural that only one person would not be enough.

Li Jing still asked cautiously: "Have you ever known the one who comes?"

The soldiers replied: "The person who came claimed to be the Prince of Shu's marriage to Su Dingfang."

Li Ke was young and had not yet opened a government office to build a yamen. Li Ke's Shu Palace was just an empty schema. There were only a few people in the Shu Palace, including Li Ke himself. As for Su Dingfang, they naturally knew about it.

"Su Dingfang? Why did he come here for the commander of His Highness's personal guard?" The Dianjun of the Marriage was originally the Prince's Guard, and Su Dingfang was personally appointed by Li Shimin, so this was even more so. When Zhang Gongjin heard that Su Dingfang had appeared outside the city, he couldn't help but be curious.

Li Jing said: "Since you hold the handwritten letter of Your Highness, you will come here at your order. First pass it in and check the authenticity before telling you."

Li Jing said, and ordered someone to stay Su Dingfang in.

Li Ke was only eight years old when he went north to Chang'an. It was still a question whether he could recognize the complete text of Thousand Characters, let alone the handwriting. Whether it was Li Jing or Zhang Gongjin, it was difficult for them to recognize Li Ke's handwriting, but fortunately, they had seen it before Su Dingfang.

"At the end, Su Dingfang, the Prince of Shu, was brought to the general." Su Dingfang was taken to the general's tent, and saw Li Jing in the tent, and went forward to worship.

The soldiers who came to report to the public said exactly that Su Dingfang was really dressed and looked tired. It was obvious that he had only arrived here after going through hardships.

"General Su is here on the order of His Highness?" Li Jing asked.

Yesterday, the Turks were defeated. Su Dingfang was ordered by Li Ke to break through the siege. With his outstanding force, Su Dingfang grabbed a knife and killed him, and then walked around the valley for a whole night before he got here.

This experience was very hard, but Su Dingfang did not mention it at all. He just stepped forward and handed Li Ke's handwriting to Li Jing and said, "This is the handwriting of Your Highness, please read it."

When Li Jing heard this, he did not dare to neglect it. He personally stepped forward and helped Su Dingfang up and took Li Ke's handwritten letter from his hands.

"The Grand Chief of the Military Army of Dingxiang Road, Yaoshi, personally: Since the ninth year of Wude, I have been asking for the mission, and I have been more than three years. Now I finally have hope for the king's army. I have hope for the return of the country. I feel very relieved. However, although I am not a member of the army, I also know that it is not easy to march. On the way north, there are not Turkic soldiers, and there are also dangerous mountains and steep valleys. It is difficult to move. There is a marriage army in my palace, Su Lie, who lives in the Turkic land for several years and is familiar with the terrain. I specially recommend it to Yaoshi. Su Lie is loyal and brave, and has a general and talent. I secretly use it as a vanguard of the three armies and will definitely achieve success!"

As Li Ke said to Su Dingfang before, Li Ke's handwritten letter was his promotion rank.

The content in Li Ke's handbook is very simple, it is nothing more than recommending Su Dingfang as a general and helping Li Jing fight against the Turks in the north.

After careful consideration, Li Ke is just a prince. Although he has a false position as the governor of Yizhou, he does not take charge of military affairs. As for Li Ke's current identity, his letter is a bit beyond the rules. If Li Jing is willing, he can ignore this letter.

But Li Ke's letter came at the right time. Li Ke's letter was about fighting, and it was coincidental with Li Jing.

Li Jing asked, "Since the third prince recommended you to come here, you must be extraordinary, but you don't know what your opinion is now?"

Su Dingfang naturally knew what Li Jing said.

Su Dingfang was Li Ke's confidant and was recommended by Li Ke as the vanguard of the three armies. However, the vanguard of the three armies was of great importance. He would never give the vanguard of the army to Su Dingfang, who is still unknown just because of a letter from Li Ke. This is also a test for Su Dingfang.

If Su Dingfang passed this exam, if Li Ke was given the face, the vanguard would naturally be his. But if Su Dingfang failed to satisfy Li Jing this exam. With Li Jing's rigorous nature, even if Li Ke's handwritten letter was given, Su Dingfang would have to do some idle jobs at most.

Su Dingfang was also prepared for Li Jing's words. Su Dingfang thought for a moment and said, "Dingxiang is a strong city. If it is a strong attack, it may not be easy. I will think it should be a surprise attack."

"Yeah." Li Jing nodded after hearing Su Dingfang's words.

Obviously, Su Dingfang's words did not satisfy Li Jing. It was difficult to attack Dingxiang City, and anyone could see that, but if you want to attack the enemy, it would be not as simple as you said.

Su Dingfang was not a talkative person. In front of Li Jing, he walked to the sand table in the commander's tent, pointed to Dingxiang City on the sand table and said, "Dingxiang City is located near Yinshan Mountain. It is not advisable to take the road of Dingxiang City. The last one should look at it. You should take the EYangling Mountain first, and use the EYangling Mountain path to secretly reach Dingxiang City and attack it while the night is sunset."

Li Jing's expression was relaxed at first when he listened to Su Dingfang's words, but as Su Dingfang finished speaking, Li Jing's expression became solemn, and he also paid more attention to the unknown general in front of him.

After leaving the evil Yangling and attacking Dingxiang City at night, Su Dingfang said just now and coincided with what Li Jing thought.

Some things are born, and in addition to military tactics, the talent for controlling the situation is even more important.

At this moment, Li Jing seemed to know the confidence that Li Ke recommended Su Dingfang to come here.

If Su Dingfang has such insights and talent, what's wrong with a vanguard? In time, it would be better to let Su Dingfang sit in Li Jing's position.

"You should sit here at last."

When Li Jing was young, he visited the former Sui Taiwei, the famous minister Yang Su. That was when Yang Su pointed to his couch and said this to Li Jing. Today, Li Jing had the urge to give this to Su Dingfang.

However, Su Dingfang was Li Ke's confidant and Li Ke's person after all. Li Jing would never want to get involved in the battle for the throne too much, otherwise he would want to accept Su Dingfang as his disciple and inherit his legacy.
