I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

"Don't be surprised and feel that we are like rebels. The old Confucian family is to blame. The large-scale disaster relief food corruption incident in the disaster area this time is caused by the Tubo Turkic money and their family's efforts, and the cooperation between the inside and the outside!"

"Isn't our army just about to be transferred back, so I will take care of this matter for my emperor brother, and it happens that we still have to fight the Turks. If we blame the Turks, we will even have a reason to send troops. "

Cao Xing looked at his Highness in a daze, God, you really said it directly about such a big matter, you are planning to make our life difficult.

Although Cao Xingneng first entered the imperial army and then the emperor's bodyguard, he was assigned to Zhang Nuo and replaced Xingben as the head of the bodyguard. It goes without saying that he has a clean family background and outstanding ability. If he can't do these two things, he will come to Zhang Nuo None of the qualifications around me.

After all, apart from Lao Fang, Zhang Erniang and other close housekeepers and cooks, the people around Zhang Nuo were carefully selected by Li Shimin and Empress Changsun and sent over. Even Lao Fang and others were arranged by Li Shimin. People checked it out.

There is no way, there are too many things involved in Zhang Nuo, and there are countless secrets and interests. On weekdays, when there is nothing to do, the people who come in and out are either the emperor, the emperor, or the prince. The important ministers above.

It would be strange if Li Shimin dared to relax the personnel review here.

It can be seen from this that Cao Xing was able to stand out from so many people as the head of Zhang Nuo's bodyguard, so his identity and background were naturally no problem.

But Cao Xing knew it himself, he was from a small family, and there were no high-ranking officials, honors, etc. in his family, let alone royal relatives, and he was the best in the family at present.

But hearing such a big secret so suddenly, will His Highness silence us?

After all, the two things Zhang Nuo said just now, one is the military transfer at the level of the national war, which is definitely the highest level of military secrets, not to mention the other thing, it is to do dirty work for His Majesty and His Highness, It's still a big event to destroy people!

Isn't this Nima a bit too exciting?

It's no wonder that Cao Xing was trembling in his heart. No matter which family, as long as he is the head of the guards, he will definitely help the master's family with things that are inconvenient for the master's family.

Other families are basically just such trivial things as a sap or silence a few nonsense, even if they help steal a few young girls from small families, that's already daring.

When Cao Xing was originally transferred to Zhang Nuo's side, he thought that he might have to help His Highness King Qin with some inconvenient things, but he found that this guy had no room for performance at all. Strolling casually, staying overnight if you want to eat, you can directly order the fierce man in the imperial chef, there is really nothing to do behind others' backs.

As a result, Cao Xing has changed from an ordinary guard to the head of the guards, and finally came into contact with the dirty work that His Royal Highness King Qin has to do, but he never expected that the first dirty work he came up to was so big.

Even though Cao Xing had never done such a thing as killing someone’s family, he didn’t have any resistance. After all, he did it on the battlefield with real swords and guns. There are dozens of lives in his hands, so killing people is not a big deal at all. .

But it also depends on the target, who is the other party, that is the descendant of a saint who is well-known in the literary world, this damn is going to destroy everyone and blame Turks.

If it is revealed that he did it in the future, does it mean that his baby will not be able to find a teacher to teach him in the future?

But thinking of Zhang Nuo's care for him on weekdays, and the things Zhang Nuo said just now, Cao Xing sighed. Forget it, he will serve His Highness and His Majesty's care for many years. Well, isn't the head of the guards just doing dirty work and taking the blame for it? This is the last time we have done what the head of the guards should do.

You can't be like Xingben, you'll either be like a groom or wander around by yourself, Cao Xing is an ideal guard leader, before Xingben could only drive a carriage, now he can drive a car.

This is an air-conditioned car that is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is of a higher level than a horse-drawn carriage. Your Majesty now travels by car every day.

There are more than tens of thousands of horse-drawn carriages in the world, but now there are only a few people who can drive cars.

If you think about it this way, His Highness seems to be very kind to him, so what else is there to say, the old Confucian family is just a bunch of sour Confucians, and they are even collaborating with the enemy and treasonously, so it should be done directly, and they will be killed all at once !

Thinking of this, Cao Xing turned his head to look at Zhang Nuo and said seriously,

"Your Highness, don't worry, this subordinate will set off soon, and will definitely clean up the old Kong family's collaborators and traitors!"

Chapter 650 Zhang Nuo Has Tricked Li Shimin Again

Cao Xing, carrying Zhang Nuo's tiger amulet and seal, rode to Pyongyang overnight with the momentum of a strong man who was gone and would never return.

Speaking of which, Cao Xing himself felt emotional. In the past, he could have survived thousands of miles on horseback day and night. After all, he went out with Zhang Nuo last year!

But now, after driving and riding with His Royal Highness for a while, riding on a horse again, it feels awkward no matter how you do it, it’s uncomfortable to sit on, the wind is also uncomfortable, and the smell of the horse is also uncomfortable, anyway. There is basically no place to be comfortable.

Even thinking about riding this horse for more than 2000 miles, Cao Xing felt that his waist was already sore right now.

Cao Xing feels that this may be what the ancients said, "It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, and it is difficult to go from extravagant to frugal"!

But no matter what, what should be done still has to be done. He also knows that it's not that His Highness is reluctant to give him a car to drive, but that he doesn't have the kind of skills that His Highness has in his sleeves. , this person can think of a way to get there, but what about this car?

It's not impossible to get there, you can find a way to build a pontoon bridge or even lift it directly to the boat, but there will be a lot of delays inside and out, so it's better to just ride a horse and run all the way there.

Just when Cao Xing was complaining about all kinds of discomforts when riding a horse, Zhang Nuo was standing in his study, frowning and looking at the map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty without saying a word!

Don't look at what Zhang Nuo said in front of Li Shimin before, as if fighting Turks was just a game.But in fact, this battle is really not easy to fight.

One of the most important issues is mobility!

The mobility of the Turks is too strong. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry come and go like the wind. This is not a joke. If the infantry followed behind, I am afraid that they would be wiped out without even a chance to eat ashes. Clean, and then if you are not careful, you will be copied from the back, and you will be cut off from food and flanked back and forth.

This is not a joke. In any era, infantry will have a headache when confronted with high-mobility units. Haven’t you seen that “pure” armies are rarely seen in later generations?

Mechanized infantry divisions, armored corps, army aviation... With the addition of pieces of equipment, it has long been no longer the infantry that purely traveled on two legs in the past, but has become one that can reasonably use various high-tech ordnance Equipment of modern infantry.

But it is useless to mention the things of later generations now. The key is now, if the infantry is foolishly allowed to face the Turkic cavalry, it will really cause big problems.

But on the other hand, if it is properly arranged, it is not impossible for the infantry to attack the cavalry. As long as the speed of the cavalry is not allowed to rush, the power of the cavalry will be reduced by at least [-]%, and the remaining [-]% can be carried through.

What Zhang Nuo is thinking now is how to rationally use the [-] cavalry he has on hand, and at the same time cooperate with other people to kill the Turks at once, and completely turn the outside of the Great Wall into the territory of the Tang Dynasty!

After all, there is no Zhang Nuo in history, let alone the [-] cavalry he built with a lot of money, who still captured Jieli Khan alive and beat the Turks thousands of miles away.

It doesn't make sense that after having him, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is booming, and the food and armaments are even more prosperous than ever. On the contrary, they can't deal with the Turks, so it's a shame.

Therefore, the Turks not only have to fight, but also have to fight beautifully. The Turks must be solved at one time.

It was precisely because of this unwillingness to admit defeat that Zhang Nuo looked at the map with a frown.

After all, it’s all about making trouble, war is not a joke, it really needs human life to fill it in, and any decision made may determine the casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers and even the success or failure of a battle.

Zhang Nuo can be sure that he will definitely participate in the fight against the Turks this time, and in his capacity, he might be the commander-in-chief. At that time, it is often inconvenient for the generals to give opinions because of their status. After all If the generals talk too much, it will affect the image of the commander.

But if it's all up to him to think, won't it be a mistake?

Zhang Nuo felt as if he had been stabbed by a knife when he thought that he would lose the battle and kill countless army children. It was obviously just his own imagination, but it turned out to be the real thing.

Zhang Nuo looked at the map and thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed, forget it, think of other ways, he has never learned any serious art of war, let alone a handsome man with a lot of talent.

What the system gave him was the world's best martial arts and physical fitness, and he would definitely not be able to find a more suitable person to be a pioneer and charge into battle.

And the various insights and experiences he brought from later generations are enough to make him qualified for the position of logistics officer, and he can definitely manage the entire logistics system in an orderly manner. "The ability, this is the miraculous skill of the army's conquest.

What's more, even if he is not a logistics officer, if he is a staff officer, he will help out with ideas on the application of various new equipment, and he can also defend the coach with his own force. He can do well in this regard .

When Zhang Nuo thought about it, he suddenly realized, what the hell, he seems to be able to do everything well except for the coach.

If this is the case, do you want to cheat Lao Li Yibo?

No, this is not called cheating, this is called sending Lao Li a fortune, with our help, this will definitely win, then Lao Li used to be a lie to win.

Needless to say about the logistics, he was brought directly from the system warehouse. Needless to say, the forward, if he didn't go into battle and lead those tens of thousands of cavalry to a good charge, he felt that he had gone to the battlefield for nothing.

Well, with his own big cheating tool, Lao Li is a veteran who has been through battles for a long time. If he still loses, Zhang Nuo feels that he can admit that he is unlucky, and something irreversible must have happened. The reason is gone.Otherwise, he doesn't know how to lose.

As for the matter of flicking Li Shimin's personal conquest, it's simple, just because of Lao Li's restless temper, he would ask him to take the initiative to go to the battlefield in the next few days.

At that time, it wasn't Zhang Nuo who begged Li Shimin to go to the battlefield, but Li Shimin begged Zhang Nuo to accompany him to the battlefield.

As for whether Li Shimin would pull Zhang Nuo, just kidding, it doesn't matter whether it's artillery or other messy things, who else will make it besides Zhang Nuo?

Not to mention that when Zhang Nuo attacked Korea, the "cosmos in the sleeve" that flew the entire army with one hand was simply unreasonable to the extreme. If this kind of big killer is not taken out, will it be left at home to be ashes?

Therefore, Zhang Nuo can be sure that Lao Li, this idiot, will definitely come to him in ten days and half a month at most!

Chapter 651

It has to be said that Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin's friendship for such a long time can be regarded as understanding this emperor who has left a lot of color in history.

Different from the dazzling emperor in the eyes of others, in Zhang Nuo's eyes, Lao Li actually took off that layer of emperor's coat, that is, he is an ordinary person with joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, especially after dating for a long time, it is really all kinds of things Can do it all.

Lao Li is like those bad friends he knew in later generations. Each has his own small family and each has his own career, but he can always get together to play cards, drink, chat, or go to a very, very formal foot bath city together. Health care or something.

Everything is so natural, there are not so many bloody plots, just met in a small shop, and then they feel that they are not bad, and they like each other, so let's get acquainted.

Li Shimin didn't dislike Zhang Nuo's identity as a small shopkeeper, he was laughing and joking, and Zhang Nuo didn't care about Li Shimin's identity as Emperor Li Shimin.

This friendship was developed slowly, especially for Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo. If it weren't for the casual fighting between them, their relationship might not be where it is now.

But it is precisely because the two parties are already familiar with each other so well that Zhang Nuo also knows Lao Li very well. The awe-inspiring face is actually a sullen man full of coquettish manipulations.

Li Chengqian did a good job in supervising the country before, but at least it was well-regulated, allowing him to go out for a while, but he was not happy that his trip died because of the disaster, and he planned to sneak out again.

Now that there is such a reason to send troops to the Turks, it is no wonder that Lao Li can hold back.

Zhang Nuo didn't need to ask Lao Li to know that traveling far, winning battles, and taking revenge on the Turks, any element in the middle could make Lao Li salivate, let alone get them all together.

Therefore, it was Zhang Nuo who wanted to go to the battlefield for himself, but he just waited for Li Shimin to come to his door, and then made Li Shimin owe him a favor.

No way, who made Zhang Nuo a little confused, he is best known for his salty temper, and it seems that what he likes most is hiding at home and living comfortably.

The military power doesn't care, and the political power doesn't care, let's make money, although there are many ways to make money, and the ability to make money is really strong, but Zhang Nuo didn't wantonly expand his business.

And the most important thing is that no matter what kind of business Zhang Nuo does, he likes to bring other people along with him. Even for some businesses that are obviously profitable, Zhang Nuo will hand over to other people to do it. up.

This makes Li Shimin sometimes dumbfounded, feeling that his righteous brother is simply worthless.

In the next few days, no matter whether it was in the court or in Lantian City, everything was calm, as if nothing happened.

Other small work-for-work projects have already started in the disaster area, mainly to take advantage of this opportunity to build water conservancy projects, especially the dredging of the Yellow River, which requires no less manpower than the road construction in Longyou.

These are all things that have been arranged before. As long as the road construction project in Longyou is officially put into operation, and there are no major problems, then other projects will be launched one after another.

Even after the start of construction, many places found that, oh shit, this kind of work-for-relief project is much faster than the usual recruitment of corvees. Although it costs money, the money does not need to be paid by the local government, let alone their own money. Money, naturally the more you can cultivate, the better.

This will be placed in the next year or the next year, but it will be their political achievements. After all, whether these water conservancy projects or road construction, the results will be immediate.

You have to know who can be in charge of the local government, which one is not a human being, and if there is such a good opportunity to benefit the disaster victims with money from the court, it is a fool to let it go.

Therefore, it is clear that all the projects have not started for a few days, but one after another, other places are very "enthusiastic" to report. We would rather the local finance pay a little money to help the court resettle some victims and let the victims come to us. Let's keep working, our water conservancy facilities are going to be repaired here too.

At the beginning, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others didn't pay attention, thinking that it was the local officials who made contributions and were eager to share the worries of the court, but slowly they realized that something was wrong, because there were not enough victims.

That's right, I originally thought that because of the relatively wide range of disasters, the number of victims was relatively large, and Li Shimin and the others were a little bit troubled when it came to resettling the victims, but now they realize, what the hell, all the places are "enthusiastic" asking for resettlement of the victims, and the victims actually Not enough points.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes. Even if they don't understand it for a while, they will understand it all when they turn their heads. This is taking the money and food from the imperial court to recruit the victims to work in the local area.

You must know that the victims left after finishing the work, the money was given by the court, and the food was mobilized by the court, but the project was left in the local area.

These people have obviously thought of the benefits of this, so let's hurry up.Therefore, Li Shimin now has to worry about how to distribute the victims.

Don't look at the lively fights in the court for this matter, but in fact Li Shimin didn't take it too seriously. After all, the core of the work-for-relief project is the resettlement of the victims. If the project wants to be done, even if In fact, it can be done even if it is not a disaster year. After all, as long as the money is there and the food is there, you are not afraid that you will not be able to hire people.

What Li Shimin is thinking about now is still two things. One is that the old Confucian gang are sour and Confucian.

And the other thing is the Turkic side. There are a lot of things here. Even if you have to wait for the cavalry team from Pyongyang to come back, there are actually a lot of things to prepare here. Then [-] cavalry go to fight the Turks.

Not to mention logistics, folk husbands, etc., this is not a trivial matter, and the departments and personnel involved are not a small number, and the movement should not be too big, otherwise people will notice it and lose the upper hand when attacking up.

Li Shimin does not believe that two countries that can collude with local forces to make trouble in the pass will not have spies in the pass. Li Shimin will not do this kind of self-deception.Therefore, everything is done in secret.

Only the most familiar courtiers can feel it. It seems that these generals are more excited recently!

Chapter 652 Cao Xing Meets Qin Qiong

It took Cao Xing nine days to travel day and night from Lantian City to Pyongyang, which was already the fastest speed he could manage. After all, it would take more than two days by boat.

If it weren't for the crazy shipbuilding here in Pyongyang, I'm afraid he wouldn't have gotten on a ship so easily.

However, after the tossing of the journey of less than ten days, Cao Xing's whole body is not good, not to mention his unkempt hair and face, and his whole body still smells bad. This is because he hasn't bathed for ten days.

There is no way, if you are in a hurry, you will fall asleep even when you arrive at the post station, and you will go on your way immediately after getting up early in the morning. How can you have time to take a shower.

So when Cao Xing rushed to meet Qin Qiong at his mansion in Pyongyang, Qin Qiong almost didn't recognize him.

But Cao Xing didn't mind at all, and directly took out the tiger amulet wrapped in layers of cloth, the seal, and the troop dispatching order signed by Zhang Nuo and sealed by Li Shimin from his arms, and stuffed them all into Qin Qiong.

Then he turned his head and started to greet people to serve him wine and food, without treating himself as an outsider at all.

Qin Qiong didn't care at all, the gang members were like this, Cao Xing was obviously on the road and endured hardships, so don't expect to do anything else right now, just want to have a good meal, and then wait a while Back home to take a bath and sleep.

Qin Qiong's family has a habit, that is, because all the people who come and go are military personnel, there are always some meat dishes in the pot, just for these people, even in the middle of the night, they can be picked up and eaten directly.

So as soon as the front foot gave the order, he turned his head and brought it up in a big bowl, and there was a big pot of rice wine attached.

During the dog days, slightly chilled rice wine is the most sweet and thirst-quenching, and it is the best drink.

Cao Xing was also polite, and directly stuffed it into his mouth with both hands.

Qin Qiong frowned and sat aside looking at the transfer order in his hand. He put the tiger talisman and seal letter aside. Those things were just a voucher, and it was because there were more manpower mobilized that he got both the tiger talisman and the seal letter. up.

Otherwise, the soldiers in Pyongyang, Zhang Nuo, can let Qin Qiong take them away with a transfer order.

Qin Qiong didn't pay attention to the tiger talisman and the seal letter, and concentrated on looking at the words on the transfer order. It clearly stated the number of troops to be transferred, leading generals, departure time, arrival time, etc., and it was clear that it was not written by Zhang Nuo, after all. Zhang Nuo has never been very good at this kind of official documents, so this transfer order was obviously written down by Zhang Nuo's dictation and Cao Xing's pen.

But on the contrary, the words like a dog crawling seem real. If the whole transfer order has Zhang Nuo's words on it, then Qin Qiong will be suspicious.

But at this time, what he cares most about is not these, but the last few sentences that seem to be teasing, but at first glance, it is the exhortation in Zhang Nuo's tone,
