"Wang Canjun, there is no need to report a small frost to the court, but you don't know the situation between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks now? There is a sudden abnormal weather of midsummer frost in the Turks. This is very important to us, the Tang Dynasty. It may be a God-given opportunity. The Turks are different from the people in the Central Plains. They make a living by grazing. The sudden cooling of the grassland at this time will definitely be a big blow to the herdsmen. If the cooling continues , many cattle and sheep will freeze to death, and famine is bound to break out in the Turkic country this year! If the court chooses to send troops in at that time, the chance of winning will be much greater!
Moreover, usually in our Central Plains region, once any abnormal celestial phenomenon occurs, rumors will arise among the people and they will be blamed on the monarch. In June this year, the Great Locust in Guanzhong, if it were not for the proper measures taken by the Holy Lord to control the locust, and the Marquis of Yong'an led the Tianji Brigade in the north. If locusts are eradicated in dozens of states in time, the same rumors will surely arise among the people. At that time, the Holy Spirit will most likely be forced to issue an edict of sin!
Now that there is frost in the midsummer in the Turkic country, the imperial court can send soldiers into the grassland to incite the people in the grassland and blame their great khan for the abnormal weather in the grassland. In this way, civil strife will inevitably break out in the Turkic country. In the future, the imperial court will attack the grassland. It will be a lot easier! "
In the north of Yunzhou, the frontier army camp.
The black-faced general did not immediately answer the questions of the general beside him, but hesitated for a while, and then led the latter towards the outside of the school grounds while slowly analyzing.
From the words of the black-faced general, it is not difficult to tell that he was unaware of Li Er's plan to send Tang Jian to sneak into the grassland secretly. But what is surprising is that some of the series of strategies he analyzed were the same as what Li Zexuan had given Li Er. The strategy of differentiation coincides with each other!
From this aspect, he and Li Zexuan really have some "heroic views"!
At first, Wang Shenjun didn't care about General Blackface's arrangement, but after listening to General Blackface's analysis, he opened his mouth in surprise, and then said with admiration:
"General Su is really far-sighted. He saw so many fighters just from an abnormal celestial phenomenon. No wonder Duke Wei wants to send you here. With you in Yunzhou, the Turkic Khan will be on pins and needles! "
General Su!
The black-faced general’s surname is Su, his given name is Lie, and his courtesy name is Dingfang. He is famous for his character. Although in the history books of later generations, he is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty who “destroyed the Three Kingdoms before and after, and captured his master alive.” But now, he is just a Just a little-known general in the army!
As for why Su Dingfang is in Yunzhou, it has something to do with Wu Jie sneaking into Yunshan more than half a month ago!
More than half a month ago, the great Turkic master Wu Jie secretly sneaked into the Tang Dynasty and sneaked into Yunshan. After stealing a series of confidential information from the academy, he injured many people in the academy and left Yunshan. Later, tens of thousands of people who assisted Wu Jie The Turkic Wolf Cavalry entered from the Tang Dynasty border gate, and a fierce battle broke out with the Tang army from Longmen Pass to Madou Pass. Although this battle caused the Turkic Wolf Cavalry to suffer heavy losses, the Tang Dynasty also suffered heavy losses!
After this incident, the angry Li Eryi declared to the courtiers that he would declare war on the Turks. At the same time, he realized that there were certain weaknesses in the border defense, so he ordered the Ministry of War to send more generals to the Tang border to strengthen border defense to prevent the Turkic army from sneaking in again. Datang!
The current Minister of War is still Li Jing, and Su Dingfang happens to have some relationship with Li Jing. He has known Li Jing for a long time, and he also served as a soldier under Li Jing before. He is a master of military strategy and is a true disciple of Li Jing. He can be regarded as half of Li Jing's disciples. In order to ensure the perfect border defense in Yunzhou, Li Jing sent Su Dingfang to Yunzhou as a guerrilla general almost half a month ago!
When he heard the flattery sent by his subordinates, Su Dingfang still had the cold expression on his face, but he did not get carried away because of it. He said calmly:
"These are just my personal analyzes and speculations. As for how the Ministry of War views this news and how the court will ultimately decide, it is beyond your control! All I can do is to stay in my position, plan my policies, and do my best. It’s just his responsibility!”
There was a hint of indifference in Su Dingfang's tone, which was a kind of indifference to fame and fortune, but at the same time, there was also a hint of frustration! From joining the army when the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, to Liu Heitai being defeated and killed in the sixth year of Wude, and then retreating to his hometown to stop serving the Tang Dynasty, to being re-enabled by Li Er in the early years of Zhenguan, he experienced a series of ups and downs. Su Dingfang has actually taken a dim view of those matters in the officialdom!
And he knew very well that as one of the latest generals to defect to the Tang Dynasty, his life in the court would not be easy. As long as Li Er did not exclude or suppress him, he did not expect Li Er to take the initiative to give him a favor. He got promoted!
Therefore, in terms of official career, Su Dingfang has taken a dim view!
"General Su is so upright and dedicated to the country. Wang admires him!"
When Wang Shenjun heard this, he couldn't help but be in awe.
Su Dingfang shook his head, did not reply, and left alone with his hands behind his back.
Su Dingfang didn't really have much hope that this news would attract the attention of the court, but he believed that this news would definitely attract Li Jing's attention. As Li Jing's half-disciple, Su Dingfang knew Li Jing well enough!
However, what Su Dingfang never expected was that the news he sent back to Chang'an immediately aroused Li Er's great attention, because the frost in the grassland in midsummer was a key part of Li Er's plan to divide the grassland! And after learning that frost had really fallen on the grassland, he became even more able to deal with Zhao Deyan from Taiyuan!
