Li Shimin was not good at things like farming. But after all, he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty. How could he not care about the people's livelihood under his command?

So although he is not good at it, he vaguely knows what to do

However, he did not answer Gu Tianya. Instead, he looked at Gu Tianya sincerely and said as if he was slightly ashamed: "Your second brother, I come from a wealthy family. I have never done anything like farming in my life. Since I don't

I've done it before, but I'm definitely not good at it. I, Li Er, never hide my shortcomings as a person, but will humbly ask others for advice on things I don't understand..."

He paused slightly at this point, his face looked extremely solemn, and said again: "I can't give a correct answer to the question of reclaiming wasteland, so you say it and I listen."

Gu Tianya looked at him deeply, a little surprised at Li Shimin's uprightness.

Since he appears to be such a bachelor, he must not be able to do it if he is vain.

So Gu Tianya spoke without hesitation, spit out one word and gave the answer: "Cow." Then he explained and added: "If you want to cultivate these thin fields, you must have cattle."

Li Shimin was so smart that he understood what he meant instantly, so he almost blurted out without hesitation: "As I expected, what you are talking about is bull!"

With a smile on his face, Gu Tianya nodded and said, "It's easy to talk to smart people."

The two looked at each other and laughed together.

There is a tacit understanding that does not need to be stated explicitly.

Where do cows come from?

Cows are precious!

Since ancient times, people in the Central Plains have attached great importance to cattle. They even regard cattle as human beings. When allocating land and dividing fields, cattle are given a share.

So Gu Tianya was eyeing the Turks' cattle, and Li Shimin also guessed that he was eyeing the Turks' cattle.

Why did you choose not to touch the Miyun Sun family for the time being?

The answer is almost obvious!

Even though I really had to retaliate, I didn't want to offend the enemy. In order to get the Turks' cattle, I chose to endure the humiliation.

…

Li Shimin suddenly looked at Gu Tianya with deep meaning, and said with hints: "I heard Zhao Ning say that you intercepted the private messages of the Miyun Sun family, and also captured his courier, so there is both human and material evidence."

Gu Tianya said 'hmm' and continued following his words: "But we can't take action now, otherwise the cattle will be gone."

Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded, looked at him with admiration, and spoke for him what he had not finished, and said: "The Miyun Sun family colluded with the Turks, and the grassland will be tempted. This winter is snowy and cold, and the grassland is very difficult, so they

They will definitely raise troops and go south, preparing to plunder food to survive the winter."

He paused slightly when he said this, his eyes flashed, and then said: "In previous years, this matter would have been a big deal. Every time the grassland invaded south, Hebei could only hold on hard, but this time it was different.

We have 50,000 to 60,000 extra soldiers."

Gu Tianya chuckled and said: "But the other party doesn't know about this change, and they will still think that it is the same as before. They will bring auxiliary soldiers to prepare to transport food back. The manpower to transport food is too poor, so the auxiliary soldiers will bring cattle

ox!"

The auxiliary soldiers will bring the bullocks!

Hearing this makes people greedy.

Li Shimin swallowed almost subconsciously, his tone was obviously excited, and his breathing was slightly rapid: "The Turkic bullocks are extremely strong, and with a little domestication they can become cattle for farming. If the soldiers know the purpose of this war,

Make sure everyone is willing to risk their lives with the Turks."

"Second brother, you are wrong, soldiers don't have to risk their lives!" Gu Tianya suddenly said, his eyes flashing shrewdly, "Because the battle situation cannot reach that point!"

Li Shimin was slightly startled at first, then understood Gu Tianya's allusion, nodded and said: "You are absolutely right, the battle situation cannot reach that point!"

The two of them were talking like a riddle. Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Liang were confused when they heard this. Both of them were strong generals who could charge into battle and capture the flag. Unfortunately, they were not talented strategists who could win thousands of miles away, so they didn't seem to understand at all.

, standing aside with big eyes and small eyes.

The two generals hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke with a hint of uneasiness: "May I ask why the battle can't reach that point?"

Li Shimin's face suddenly stiffened, feeling depressed that he could not come to Taiwan. The two generals under his command were completely different from Gu Tianya.

He sighed helplessly, then suddenly pointed at Gu Tianya and said, "Ask him."

The two generals quickly looked at Gu Tianya, each bowed their hands respectfully, and then said: "May I ask Brother Gu, what do you mean? Why do you and my young master look so determined and think that the battle will not reach that point?"

Someone sincerely asked for advice, so Gu Tianya would not pretend to be serious, and quickly explained: "The Miyun Sun family is just a low-class family, and it is impossible to be familiar with all the grassland tribes, so this time the Miyun Sun family wrote a letter to collude, and at most they only colluded with ten dozen people.

A tribe, even if a dozen tribes gather together to make friends, they can only raise 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers..."

The implication is self-evident, this is a smooth battle.

It's a pity that the two generals didn't seem to understand yet. Instead, they blinked and looked confused, and said again: "What do you mean? What's going on? I don't understand!"

Gu Tianya suddenly took a deep look at the two of them, and said with a smile: "You two don't need to be like this, we can still talk to each other. If you two continue to pretend like this, don't blame Gu Tianya for not paying attention to you anymore."

The faces of the two generals immediately turned red, and they suddenly started laughing together. It turned out that they were really pretending, and their intention was nothing more than to compliment Gu Tianya. This was a special way to please, but it was a pity that Gu Tianya exposed it.

Now that it has been exposed, they can no longer pretend. The two generals each cupped their hands and apologized to Gu Tianya with a smile.

Gu Tianya knew that they respected him, so he quickly gave the two of them a gift in return. He thought about it, and finally decided to take the initiative to explain it. Although everyone was well aware of this plan, he took the initiative to speak it out.

It's also considered polite to others.

He said solemnly: "The Turks only have 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry at most, but there are 50,000 Detachment troops stationed on the border of the Tang Dynasty. In addition to the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Detachment Army, there are also 45,000 infantry sent by Tiance Mansion.

.So if this battle is not fought, it will be a good fight. Once it is fought, it will be a smooth battle."

Everyone nodded.

In fact, they know more than Gu Tianya.

Forty-five thousand infantry is actually nothing. What is really scary is the five thousand black-armored cavalry. You must know that they are the wealth of the entire Tiance Mansion. Even against the Turkic cavalry, they can occupy the area with one against three.

After gaining the upper hand, they can even fight one against five.

Just five thousand black armor cavalry can defeat more than ten thousand cavalry, plus 50,000 women's army and 45,000 Tiancefu infantry. This battle will definitely be a great victory, and there may even be only one.

An ending without casualties.

The ending with only casualties but no casualties is simply what the leader likes most, and after killing those Turkic barbarians, there is still a large amount of loot to be obtained.

Is the only trophy a trophy?

Do not be silly!

That was just Gu Tianya's gaze.

After all, Gu Tianya's horizons are limited, so he doesn't think carefully about some things. But Li Shimin and others are different. Their greed is much greater than Gu Tianya's.

These ruthless people in Tiance Mansion have already set their sights on another thing of the Turks.

More than 10,000 Turkic cavalry represent more than 10,000 war horses...

We only kill cavalry, but we are not willing to kill horses.

The senior men laughed mischievously and started thinking about how to allocate the money. Gu Tianya looked on in confusion, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

He was extremely sad and felt that he had suffered a heavy loss. He shouted: "Horse, horse."

A Turkic war horse could be sold for fifty guan in the Tang Dynasty.

Gu Tianya suddenly ran away and held Li Shimin and others on the spot. Everyone was confused by his actions and wondered why this kid suddenly went crazy.

They would never know that Gu Tianya was rushing home. He had to go find his 'wife' to have some fun with his pillow, and he had to get some profits from the hands of Tiance Mansion, life and death.

We also got a share of those Turkic war horses.

Brothers, we have to settle the score clearly, not to mention that you, Li Er, are just uncles, huh.
Chapter completed!
