Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Youzhou City.

Cheng Yaojin patrolled the city wall with two axes, followed by Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Yaojin was very depressed because he failed to kill the enemy and make meritorious service today.

"His grandma, why didn't he attack at night?"

Cheng Yaojin took the initiative to ask for night patrol, hoping that the enemy would take revenge at night, and then he would kill some meritorious deeds to save face.

"Keep your eyes open for me."

Cheng Yaojin reprimanded his son.

"I will understand at the end."

Cheng Chumo hurriedly replied.

Suddenly, a smell of meat wafted over.

Cheng Yaojin twitched his nostrils and said greedily, "It smells so good."

My stomach growled.

Youzhou City is the front line of the battlefield, the food is very rough, such a delicious taste, it must be that kid Su Yu has delicious food.

Cheng Yaojin understood immediately.

"You stay here, keep your eyes wide open, and kill a few to make me look good."

Cheng Yaojin cursed and went down the city wall, and went straight to Su Yu's room.

After entering the General's Mansion and turning around the backyard, I saw Su Yu having a bonfire and barbecue.

A row of several-meter-long barbecue racks is covered with beef, mutton and pork belly, as well as potato chips and corn.
Lao Chen held a brush in his hand and brushed the oil skillfully.

Chen Yuan turned the meat skewers, the fat of the mutton fell on the bamboo charcoal, and ignited a flame.

Xue Rengui took the barbecue skewers, turned around and put them on the table.

Su Yu and Li Shimin held a draft beer mug in their hands and ate happily.

Li Jing, a group of generals, and young generals ate hungrily beside them.

There were also generals from Youzhou City behind him, and Su Yu invited them to a barbecue.

These people have never eaten such delicious food, and the taste of beer is also very unique.

"My dear brother, do it!"

Li Shimin and Su Yu had a drink.

Li Jing and the others have long been used to Li Shimin's chaotic seniority, being a good younger brother and a son-in-law.

"Your Majesty, I used to fight with you. It was hard work and sleeping in the open. It would be nice to have a mouthful of hot water and eat cakes."

"It's the first time I've had a barbecue like this today."

Li Jing ate a mouthful of mutton skewers and drank a mouthful of beer. He couldn't be happier.

The other veterans echoed, "Yes."

Li Shimin ate happily at first, but when they said this, it seemed that he was so incompetent before.

Li Jing realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, hehe added: "But it is more heroic, and it feels more like fighting."

Yu Chigong chuckled and said, "I still like to fight comfortably now."

Cheng Yaojin came over with strides, and threw two broad axes on the ground.

"I'm old enough to know that there are delicious ones."

Cheng Yaojin walked to the barbecue grill, drooling.

"Old Chen, give me beef skewers. I'm exhausted from patrolling the city tonight. Give me a boost."

Cheng Yaojin stared at the oily beef.

Lao Chen brushed on a layer of oil and asked, "Do you want chili?"

Cheng Yaojin nodded and said: "Yes, put more, and cumin."

He has eaten barbecue in Sujiazhuang, so he is very familiar with these things.

Lao Chen sprinkled cumin and chili, and gave Cheng Yaojin a handful.

Pick up a bunch and put it in your mouth, it's fragrant and spicy.

Walking by the table, Cheng Yaojin poured himself a glass of beer.

"You guys really talk a lot, eat well."

Cheng Yaojin muttered.

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "Cheng Zhijie is right, there is a lot to talk about while eating barbecue."

Li Jing and Yu Chigong scolded Cheng Yaojin for being troublesome.

"Su Yu, why did you bring a barbecue?"

Cheng Yaojin asked.

Su Yu took a sip of beer and said with a smile: "The mutton in the grassland north of Youzhou City is very good. It's fat and thin, and it's oily when roasted."

"The beef here is also good, suitable for grilling. So I bring the barbecue equipment when I go out."

"Just a grill and cumin, chilli and oil."

"The ingredients are here, so it's not troublesome."

To the north of here is the grassland, the beef and mutton are fat, just bring seasonings.

Cheng Yaojin chuckled and said, "When it comes to eating, my old Cheng will obey you."

A handful of beef was quickly finished, and Cheng Yaojin ate a large handful of mutton.

Li Zhi didn't see Cheng Chumo, and asked, "Mr. Lu, why didn't you let Chumo come down to eat?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "His Royal Highness Prince Jin doesn't need to pay attention to him, this kid doesn't live up to expectations, and punish him to watch the night."

After Yuchi Gong finished the barbecue, his forehead was sweating.

"My son-in-law, your chili pepper is really good, it won't be cold after eating at night."

"It's still quite cold in the north at night, and I feel warm after eating barbecue."

Yu Chigong took off the cotton coat on his body.

Li Shimin put down his wine glass and asked, "How do you plan to fight the battle in two days' time?"

Lao Chen brought over two skewers of lamb kidneys, one for Su Yu and one for Li Shimin.

"Anshicheng is an important town in Goguryeo. We must break through there first, and then we can attack the hinterland of Goguryeo."

Su Yu said.

Take a bite of lamb kidney, it tastes good too.

Sure enough, the mutton in the grassland is delicious.

"Anshi City is the barrier to the south of Goguryeo, just like Youzhou City is the barrier to the north of Datang."

Yu Chigong said.

"Anshicheng must be taken, and it must be taken before winter."

"If it snows heavily in winter and Anshi City relies on snow-capped mountains, it will be very difficult for us."

"We have the Shenji Battalion, and we have an advantage in fighting on the battlefield."

"But what if Gao Yanshou stays behind closed doors?"

Li Shimin said.

Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty, don't we have explosives? Just blow down the city wall and just rush in."

Li Jing shook his head and said, "It's true that explosives can smash the city wall easily, but with hundreds of thousands of troops inside the city, it's troublesome to fight."

A melee is a battle of numbers. Once in the city, it will be difficult for the Shenji Battalion to give full play to their advantages.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, Gai Suwen will let Gao Yanshou stay behind closed doors, but Gao Yanshou thinks we have few people, so he will take the initiative to attack."

"Then, let Cheng Mangfu act as the vanguard to lure the enemy, defeat without victory."

Hearing that he was going to lure the enemy, Cheng Yaojin knew it was not good.

Decoy troops are sure to lose the battle.

"No, my little bastard didn't do any meritorious deeds today, and he still expects to be a pioneer to save his face."

"You let me be the bait, you can lose but you can't win, I'm old Cheng and I won't do it."

Cheng Yaojin immediately refused.

Li Shimin said: "I order you to go, as long as you lose, you will be meritorious."

Cheng Yaojin was not happy.

Li Jing comforted: "Lu Guogong, you are also a veteran in the battlefield, and this is the most dangerous way to lure the enemy."

"If you weren't so good, how could the son-in-law trust you to be the bait?"

These words praised Cheng Yaojin a lot.

Cheng Yaojin was happy, and said: "That's right, to lure the enemy, you must pretend to be like one."

"My old Cheng's acting skills, that's nothing to say."

It was the first time Yu Chigong saw Su Yu commanding a battle, and he was muttered in his heart.

When they are commanding a war, making battle plans is a simulation deduction.

Consider all possibilities before making a decision.

When Su Yu talked about the battle plan, it seemed that he had already finished fighting, and now he was just fighting again.

"My son-in-law, it's not that I talk too much."

"Gao Huizhen was killed today, how could he, Gao Yanshou, dare to take the initiative?"

"Also, how do you know that Gai Suwen told Gao Yanshou not to fight behind closed doors?"

"Since Gai Suwen has an order, it is even more impossible for Gao Yanshou to fight."

"Why do I feel something wrong with what you say?"

Yu Chigong questioned Su Yu's words.

Su Yu said with a smile: "Old General, don't worry, I said Gao Yanshou will come out, so he will come out."

According to historical records, several armies of Li Shimin and Li Jing set out from Youzhou City.

Several armies broke through Goguryeo, and then arrived at the city of Anshi.

At that time, Da Mo Zhili Gai Suwen of Goguryeo ordered not to fight.

But Gao Yanshou felt that Li Shimin had few troops, so he took the initiative to attack.

Li Shimin used a trick to lure the enemy, Gao Yanshou pursued and entered the ambush circle.

Yu Chigong and the general of Youzhou City did not understand Su Yu, and were skeptical of what he said.

Especially the generals in Youzhou City muttered in private:
"It is a blind command to formulate a combat strategy hastily without going to the battlefield to check the terrain."

"Let such a dandy be the coach, I'm in danger."

"I heard that the son-in-law is invincible and never misses."

"Yes, destroying Turks and Gaochang is even more miraculous. He figured out where Xieli would be arrested and when King Gaochang would be scared to death."

"A blind cat meets a dead mouse? Good luck?"

A group of people muttered, not believing what Su Yu said.

Li Shimin coughed and said: "You generals don't have to worry, the son-in-law has never missed a battle."

"Let me tell you, the eradication of the Turks was the strategy formulated by the son-in-law."

"You just follow the decision of the son-in-law."

Li Shimin spoke, but the others shut up and dared not say anything more.

"Then what happened later, when Gao Yanshou came out and Cheng Mangfu lured the enemy, what should we do?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Li Weigong set up an ambush in Xiling, and the old uncle went out of the valley from the north of the mountain to attack the enemy's rear and cut off the way back."

"Old General Yuchi is a reinforcement, ready to respond at any time."

"Xue Rengui led [-] cavalry to charge and disrupt the enemy's formation."

"Old Chen led the Shenji Battalion to meet Cheng Mangfu head-on, and Gao Yanshou's vanguard opened fire as soon as they arrived."

Su Yu made a battle plan.

Xu Shiji asked, "Then where is your son-in-law?"

Su Yu smiled slightly and said, "Lao Li and I are waiting for the triumphant return of the generals in Youzhou City."

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "Good boy, we go to the battlefield to fight, and you eat barbecue at home, it's interesting."

Li Shimin said with a cold face: "Is there anything dissatisfied with Mr. Lu?"

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "How dare, how dare, the son-in-law has a clever plan, I will go to fight, the emperor and the son-in-law can drink and eat barbecue here."

All the soldiers were stunned and speechless.

They went to the front line to fight, and Su Yu was in Youzhou City Xianyu, worthy of being Xianyu's son-in-law.

Yu Chigong asked: "My son-in-law, if Gao Yanshou doesn't play cards according to this routine, the situation on the battlefield changes, and you are not on the scene to direct, what should we do?"

The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the commander-in-chief is not on the battlefield. If something new happens, it will be troublesome.

Su Yu smiled slightly: "Just go, old general, don't worry, everything will go according to the script I said."

The general of Youzhou City shook his head and smiled.

"This salted fish son-in-law is probably not a fool, why did the enemy fight according to your words?"

"It seems that today is the last meal of meat, eat more."

"One general is incompetent, killing the three armies."

"It's okay for him to be the consort of Xianyu in Chang'an, but he will kill us as the general of Xianyu in Youzhou."

The soldiers of Youzhou City did not believe what Su Yu said.

After formulating a battle plan, Li Shimin was overjoyed.

Raising his wine glass, Li Shimin shouted: "For victory, let's have a drink!"

Everyone got up and had a drink.
