Twenty-three Burning the Company (Part 1)
"Second brother, how did you come here over the years? Look at your red lips and white teeth, you should live a rich life! The blessing of your ancestors, you are a blessing in disguise! Hahaha!" On the march, Su Dingfang and Suning walked side by side, marching and talking. Su Dingfang led the 0,500 vanguard troops to lead the way. Suning volunteered to serve as the deputy vanguard. Changsun Chong also quarreled to make contributions together, so he followed him.
Su Dingfang didn't know how Suning came over the years. There were three reasons for him to identify his brothers, one was very similar, one was a fellow villager, and the other was both surnamed Su. The other was not important. There was no paternity test in ancient times, and the so-called blood-recognition of relatives was rarely seen, so appearance became a very important factor for identification. Perhaps Suning had an abduction phenomenon and looked too similar to Su Dingfang.
Changsun Chong didn't know how the master was made, so he was also very interested.
"Ah, I'm not very clear. As long as I can remember, I have lived with my master, wandering around, traveling to the ice fields in the extreme north, the hot rainforests in the extreme south, the wastelands in the extreme west, and the vast oceans in the extreme east. I have traveled almost all over the world, and I have good food, clothes, and live well, so I have developed this look." Suning made up casually, and this has happened. In the past, the old man would take leave to take him on a trip every winter and summer vacation, saying that men should open their horizons and see more to know more.
The old man was not stingy with money on himself. Although he had never given it directly, Suning had calculated the various expenses, which were no less than one million. When the old man was drunk, he also said that he was only a disciple like Suning, and he was a decades old. These things were all from Suning in the future. Suning did not pay attention to money, and spent money when he had money. This was very similar to the old man's temperament of spending all his money and returning, but he was particularly affectionate. He felt extremely heartbroken that the old man could not send him the last journey after his death.
So it is true that there is no wealth in the family, and it is true that there is no old man. However, since he became an old man's disciple, Suning has never given up because he is very confident and inherited the old man's legacy. As long as he has enough time, he will definitely become a person who is no less than the old man. Unfortunately, he did not wait until that day, and although he also became a nobleman, with official positions, titles and fields, his father and mother don't know, isn't all this a bright night?
But now it’s different. Suddenly, he has relatives. Although he must not be his relative, it does not prevent Su Dingfang from recognizing this truth. Although he doesn’t know where the real Su Erlang is, and he is still alive after death, Suning doesn’t mind doing his filial piety to Su Erlang. However, whether he can truly become the Su family needs to be recognized by Su Erlang’s mother, oh, his mother.
Su Dingfang and Changsun Chong were very excited when they heard this. Su Dingfang immediately asked, "Ice field? Rain forest? The sea and desert have been seen by my brother, but what is the ice field? What is the rain forest? How can you still eat, live, and wear well in the world?"
Suning said: "The ice field is a very cold place. The cold there is several times colder than the cold winter in our Central Plains. A pot of boiled hot water sprinkles it into the sky, and it will turn into ice when it falls! In the cold winter, no matter what kind of hot things are, as soon as they leave the house, they will freeze immediately!"
Changsun Chong was extremely curious when he heard this: "Oh my God, it's so cold, what about the rainforest? What is the rainforest?"
Suning said: "The climate there is very stuffy, and it rains almost every day, so the tree vegetation grows extremely prosperously, almost everywhere, which is where Linyi Kingdom is now. There is no need to worry about drought, the climate is stuffy, and there is no cold winter. So you can plant grain all year round. The grain there is called rice, which can be planted for three seasons a year! The territory of a small Linyi country is only about the size of a state, but the annual grain output can reach the grain output of the entire Tang Dynasty. For this reason, they often plant it for a year and rest for a year, and they can't finish their food, which is wasted!"
This information was learned by Suning using a magic machine to check the information of the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty. Suning decided to instigate His Majesty Li Er to take over the small country of Linyi when he had the chance. According to His Majesty Li Er's extremely narcissistic and eager to win the great achievements, and the horse-like habits of a group of noble and arrogant soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the small country of Linyi will inevitably become a state of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Su Dingfang and Changsun Chong were like thunder and their hearts were overwhelmed, especially Changsun Chong, a descendant who was deliberately trained by Changsun Wuji, also had his own understanding of the country's chairman Sun Chong. The territory of a state can produce the grain of the entire Tang Dynasty! Rice? Plant three seasons a year? What a situation? If the Tang Dynasty crops can also be planted for three seasons, will there be any worries about hunger?
As for Su Dingfang, he understood this matter more intuitively. He had been a farmer and had been farming for many years. Naturally, he knew that Guanzhong and the vast areas in the north could only plant for one season! He also had to consider whether there would be drought. There was sufficient rain and enough temperature, so he could plant it all year round! The most abominable thing is that he was so lazy! He didn't grow food for a year! He was also wasted food! Damn it! Damn it!
Changsun Chong showed an extremely unhappy expression: "A small country and ignorant people, don't recognize such treasures! It's simply hateful! Damn!"
Su Dingfang showed an extremely angry expression: "Squantize the natural resources! Squantize the natural resources! A group of foolish people! Lazy people! Damn it! It's simply abominable! There is no such place in the Tang Dynasty! Damn it! If there is such a place, the Tang Dynasty will not be worried about hunger! My countrymen in the village will not die of starvation! Damn it! Damn it! It's just a state! Second brother, after the battle, I will ask Your Majesty for the imperial edict, only three thousand soldiers! I will definitely destroy the small country of Linyi! Include it in my Tang Dynasty!"
Suning smiled: "Brother, second-hand man, that is the national policy. You can understand, and the court officials can understand it, but the difficulties of the southern expedition are unimaginable, such as mosquito bites, unacceptable weather, danger of miasma, and difficulty in transporting food. These are all problems that the southern expedition needs to face. The land in the south of the Yangtze River has not yet been developed, and the road to the war is extremely difficult, and it cannot be completed by just three thousand soldiers."
Changsun Chong was stunned. Yes, he was just blinded by the interests in front of him, but he was not as comprehensive as Suning thought. If the south was so easy to guide, then why is the south still a wilderness now? Changsun Chong sighed secretly, he still has many shortcomings to learn!
Su Dingfang sighed: "Second brother, you are really thoughtful! No wonder the general and the general value you so much, so you can be awarded a title when you are young. It seems that you have learned a lot from respecting your teacher! The ancestors blessed us, our Su family, was a blessing in disguise. You had opposed Your Majesty in your early years, but later you refused to give up and did not blame him. Then he returned to office and fought for Your Majesty. However, you understand that there are many people in the court who doubted your brother, so your future is not very clear. I hope that your brother will not affect your future. You are the hope of my Wuyi Su family!"
Suning was moved in his heart. This is his relative! So Suning said: "Brother, don't worry. Since Your Majesty dares to use you, you won't doubt it. The so-called "do not doubt" does not doubt people. There are many people in the court who used to oppose Your Majesty. Isn't that the Grandmaster? Isn't it still worth it now? So as long as you have talent and loyalty to work for the Tang Dynasty, your Majesty will not be stingy with rewards. The Grandmaster does not have to worry about the future. As for the younger brother, he doesn't have so many ideas and cannot bear such heavy responsibilities. The so-called elder brother is like a father. Since my father has died of illness and my uncle is not alive, then some things are naturally the eldest brother who has the final say."
Su Dingfang laughed: "The second brother is too proud of his brother. If you talk about battles on the battlefield, you will naturally be willing to be your brother. However, when it comes to court affairs and family affairs, you are really not very good at it. Second brother, you have studied with respect for your teacher for many years and have seen your ability as your brother. In the future, if you have any questions, you will decide. You will definitely listen to you for your brother! Hahaha!"
Suning did not refuse, and he thought so. Su Dingfang was a pure military general. Later, he was banned from the Duke of the State and was rich and prosperous all his life. He did not have such great ambitions and just wanted to make some changes. These changes were much more difficult than those in the army. Su Dingfang was not good at it and could not dominate it. All this still depends on himself.
So Suning no longer struggled with this kind of thing, but began to talk about other things, such as the idea of the Battle of Yinshan: "Brother, second-hand man, now we only have five hundred soldiers and horses, and Jie Li in Yinshan has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. If we are to fight, we will naturally be defeated. However, if we wait for the general to lead the main force to arrive, we will not make much contribution, which makes me very unhappy. Brother, second-hand man, do you want to get the first contribution?"
Changsun Chong immediately showed the expression of a hungry wolf: "I think, of course!" Su Dingfang was stunned, and then asked excitedly: "The second brother is a genius and has many wisdom and tricks. What strategy does he have this time? You must follow it for your brother!"
Suning showed a gloomy and terrifying smile. Su Dingfang and Changsun Chong both had a shudder. They had a bad premonition. The two of them had a foresight that the Turks would die miserably this time. They were not wrong. Suning was really ready to use cruel means to deal with these Turks: "Brother, above the battle formation, the most powerful, lethal, and the most killing weapon?"
Su Dingfang said in confusion: "How can this be said? If the power is the most powerful, it is naturally the catapult; if it is the lethality, it is naturally the Modao and the horizontal sword, which is very lethal; the one who kills the most is naturally the crossbow, which is combined with the three, I really don't know."
Suning smiled viciously again, and Su Dingfang felt terrified: "As the saying goes, water and fire are ruthless, with the greatest power, the greatest lethality, and the most killing people is naturally water and fire!"
Su Dingfang was suddenly shocked: "Second brother, do you want to attack fire?" Changsun Chong also reacted: "Sanming, do you want to?"
Suning nodded: "It's winter now. The weather is dry and the water flows freeze. Once it catches fire, it will definitely not be able to extinguish it, not to mention that there are trees on Yinshan Mountains. Moreover, in winter, it is full of dry wood. If there is wind, the wind will help the fire. Once it catches fire, soon, the entire Turkic military camp will become a sea of fire! If the fire is a little bigger, the entire Yinshan Mountains will be burned out. In that case, will the Turks come out alive? Brother, imagine that the entire mountain is burning wildly, how spectacular!"
Su Dingfang was suddenly shocked: "Second brother, you can't kill too many people, it will hurt the heavens! They are not beasts, they are humans!"
Suning looked at Su Dingfang strangely and said, "Brother, who told you that the Turks are humans? They do everything they can to survive, and even slaughter their fathers and mothers, are unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial. Such beasts are worthy of being called humans? The master hates the most are Hu people. The Turks are also Hu people. Hu people are beasts, so Turks are also beasts. Is it a sin to set fire to the mountains and barbecue some beasts. It's no big deal. Brother, remember, Hu people are not humans, they are of the same level as pigs, cattle and sheep. Is it a sin to slaughter pigs, cattle and sheep?"
Su Dingfang suddenly fell into a confused state. The Hu people were not human? The Turks were Hu people, so the Turks were not humans, so this is not a sin, is that true? Changsun Chong had read many books, but suddenly thought of an allusion, and then fell into chaos...
Suning thinks so, and the old man thinks so, but the old man is more radical than Suning, a nationalist, full of hostility and contempt for all non-Han people. Of course, Suning is much gentler than the old man. For example, Suning's view is to live obediently, integrate into the Han people obediently, and not bleed; those who are disobedient will die, blood will flow into rivers and corpses will accumulate into mountains, and those who are not dead will work as coolies, and those who are in their own labor force will have no third way.
Su Dingfang and Changsun Chong confusedly agreed with Suning's principles, and Suning ordered his soldiers to prepare rockets. There was no way. At this time, there was no cannon, and the most powerful one was fire attack. How to use fire attack? Only by using rockets, so prepare more rockets to burn all the Turkic tents. At this time, the wind was still blowing. Although it was a little small, it was enough. The wind helped the fire. Soon, the fire would spread. The water source freezes in winter, and they had no water to use to put out the fire, so the Turkic people would definitely die miserably.
At that time, he entered the Turkic camp in one fell swoop, causing greater chaos, disintegrating the morale of the Turkic army, and defeating the Turkic army in one fell swoop! Sometimes, it is not difficult to defeat a army of tens of thousands of people, as long as the time, place and people are in harmony. Now, Suning has all these three advantages. It is obvious that if he does not take advantage of such a good advantage, he will be sorry for himself.
