"Aren't I not qualified?" Changsun Chong wondered. His grade was very low and he could only execute orders. What's more, he is a soldier from the Huotou Battalion now, mainly for logistics. If it was the turn of Huotou Battalion to go to the battlefield to fight, the large army would probably be dispersed.

Li Yexu scratched his forehead and frowned and said, "My grandpa has always been like this, it's a bit unstable, but don't worry, his judgment has always been correct. Think about it, he is so busy, he won't call you over for no reason."

Changsun Chong thought about it and said, "Well, then you guys go back first, I'll go to the general's camp to take a look."

Changsun rushed to Li Jing's camp. Li Jing stood in front of a large map hanging in the camp. He noticed Changsun rushed in and asked, "Nephew, we will arrive near Dingxiang in a few days. Do you have any good suggestions?"

It turned out that he was asked to come over to discuss the war together. Fortunately, he did some homework yesterday, otherwise he would not have known it after asking or not.

Changsun Chong also walked to the map in a big way, pointed at Dingxiang with his finger, and said, "General, I think it is better to attack the Turks from this place. Since then, the terrain here is relatively steep and suitable for city construction and guarding. Although we may suffer a lot of losses when we capture this place, it is definitely worth it."

Li Jing nodded and said, "You are right, I think so too. Dingxiang is bound to win, what else?"

Changsun Chong pointed his finger to another place and continued, "We can lead three thousand cavalry to enter Eyangling from Mayi and attack Dingxiang at night, and easily obtain Dingxiang; General Chai and General Li Ji can encircle and block the defeated Turkic tribes from both sides. After the Turkic lost Dingxiang, although Jie Li was defeated, he still had many troops under his command. He must retreat to the desert and preserve the strength of the Turkic forces. The road to attack the north by the Tang army was dangerous and far away. It would be very difficult to pursue the Turkic forces at that time. Therefore, after we join the Li Ji army, we must use the spirit of speed to pursue them, take advantage of the victory, strive to capture them all in one place, and directly destroy **."

After hearing this, Li Jing said, the tactic was similar to the steps he had practiced in his mind before, and said, "Young people are so terrifying! This method is very good!"

Changsun cried out and said, "Our method is good, but I am afraid that the Turkic barbarians such as Jie Li could not defeat us, so I sent envoys to Chang'an to seek peace. You know, the Han people in the Central Plains have always been fighting against the grassland people. They surrendered and pretended to behave and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. However, after the Tang army withdrew its troops and rested, they began to have solid state. These Turkic barbarians were not difficult, at most they rode back on horseback, but it was so difficult for us to send troops once! Your Majesty and the court officials tightened their belts to save military expenses and endured humiliation before launching this war, saying that they could not be fooled by these Turkic barbarians like before."

Li Jing's face darkened. He didn't know these things, but those civil officials who only knew benevolence, righteousness and morality in the court were whining and often wrote about this and that one. The military officers fought and killed on the battlefield, held heavy troops, and the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. Even if they were participated, they could not argue for themselves!

"Hey, you're very reasonable. I'm afraid that Your Majesty can't stop the excuses of the envoys and civil officials! You should know that in Chang'an City, there are not only Turkic envoys, but also many envoys from small vassal states. If the Turks surrender and seek peace, if we continue to attack, it will cause conflicts among envoys from other countries. After all, there are many people, who are the same as the Turks." Li Jing sighed and said, force is only one aspect. From the overall situation, Your Majesty has to accept the Turkic envoys.

Changsun rolled his eyes and said, "General, according to your understanding of Your Majesty, did Your Majesty destroy ** in one fell swoop like us?"

"That's natural. After all, the Tang Dynasty's surname is Li, and His Majesty naturally hopes to annihilate the Turks in one fell swoop." Li Jing has been with Li Er for so long and knows Li Er very well. As long as he has the chance, Li Er will remove his enemies one by one. But Li Jing knows that once Li Er's imperial edict is given, no matter whether it is Li Er's original intention or not, he will not dare to disobey the imperial edict. It is a crime of beheading.

"That's all!" Changsun Chong said happily, "I have two ways to achieve my goal."

"Oh?" Li Jing was suspicious.

"One is that we will capture the Turkic envoys and prevent them from reaching Chang'an." Changsun Chong said with a smile.

Li Jing was embarrassed: "The vast grassland is very large, and we may not be able to capture the Turkish envoys, let alone we need to concentrate our troops, and we cannot divide our troops and intercept the Turkic envoys everywhere!"

"There is another second. Your Majesty and the court officials accept the surrender and seek peace from the Turks. I will issue an imperial edict to the General. We will find a way to make the imperial edict come later. It is best if we kill the Turks and receive the imperial edict. In this way, we will not disobey the imperial edict, but we can also annihilate the Turks in one fell swoop. Even if the envoys have any opinions, but those who do not know will not be guilty. If we fail to receive the imperial edict, we will act on our orders if we destroy the Turks!"

Li Jing remained silent, touched his gray beard, paced back and forth for a while, suddenly stopped and said, "That's all, but who will do this job?"

Changsun Chong's eyes turned twice, facing Li Jing's exploratory look, he knew that the old guy wanted to strengthen his men, so he would rather say generously: "Well, let me do it! After all, it is better to have fewer people know about this. Before coming, I received the will of Your Majesty. After conquering Dingxiang, my nephew would stay, govern Dingxiang, and station troops in Dingxiang. This would be equivalent to building several military bases on the grassland, which would be much more convenient to supply various armies."

Li Jing smiled. He looked at Changsun Chong, but in fact he wanted Changsun Chong to come forward. After all, he did not obey the order. Li Jing could not resist this charge. With Changsun Chong, it would be easy. With Empress Changsun, no one could move the Changsun family, let alone among so many ministers, the one who Your Majesty trusted the most was Changsun Wuji.

"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Li Jing said happily. He could let go this time.

Changsun Chong waved his hand and said, "It's no hard work, it's all for the glory of the Tang Dynasty. After we use Dingxiang as a base, the imperial edict will inevitably be sent there. At that time, I will find a way to delay it. Just have a few troops, just have fun as soon as possible!"

"The troops led by Wei Xiaojie are stationed in Youzhou, and he will not have any impact on receiving the imperial edict; but Xue Wanche, who sniped Tuli tribes from the northeast, can't I send a message to him in a blatant way; and Li Daozong came from Lingzhou and went straight into the clouds. I was out of reach, and I could not send a message or write a message. If they stopped or retreated after receiving the imperial edict from His Majesty, our goal of destroying the Turks might not be able to be achieved." Li Jing thought of the two armies that were far away, which was the key to blocking the Turks' escape from the east and west.
