Chapter 47: Focus on the heart

Yan Shuyi stood up, her voice suddenly raised, and said: "What did you say? What uncle? When will I marry that person? Don't say the word uncle next time."

When Yan Xin saw Yan Shuyi going crazy, she said cautiously: "Miss, this uncle..."

"You still said that!!!" Yan Shuyi roared with wide eyes.

With her eyes as if she wanted to eat Yan Xin, Li Lizhi quickly pulled away from Yan Shuyi.

"Shuyi, don't be excited, don't be excited, you also want to find someone who can write your second line. Yan Xin, please continue."

Yan Xin closed her eyes, looked frightened, patted her chest, and said: "I was scared to death. Miss, princess, actually, my uncle...he bought the same spices as this recipe. All we need to know is the use of these spices.

, you can find my uncle."

Suddenly feeling the murderous look in Yan Shuyi's eyes, Yan Xin paused for a moment, and finally said it bravely. In the end, he still called Li Feng his uncle.

Yan Shuyi slapped her forehead with an expression as if she had been defeated by you. She felt so tired.

She didn't pursue it any further. She had already guessed in her mind that Li Lizhi's godbrother was probably the one who told her the story.

"Li Zhi, it seems we have to test the formula of this toilet water ourselves."

"you mean……"

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Although Li Lizhi didn't tell her clearly, Yan Shuyi still knew what the other party was going to say.

Li Lizhi nodded and said: "Okay, we will test it now, but we need wine, and it is the wine he brewed. Just wait, I will go into the palace to get it for you now."

Seeing Yan Shuyi's expression of embarrassment, Li Lizhi went to the palace to get her wine without saying a word.

Yan Shuyi took Li Lizhi's hand and said: "No, no need, we will go find him together after we buy Saltpeter Mountain tomorrow."

"All right."

Next, the two discussed the purchase of Saltpeter Mountain.

The Duke's Mansion of Weiguo.

After Li Wan came back, after taking proper measures to prevent and treat alcohol, she couldn't wait to find Li Jing with two bottles of toilet water.

"Dad, are you there? I have something important to tell you."

Li Jing opened the door to the room and said, "You're back so soon?"

"Dad, come in, I have something important to tell you." Li Wan couldn't wait to enter Li Jing's room.

Li Jing said angrily: "Girl, why are you still so reckless?"

"Dad, it's not that I'm reckless, but this matter is really important. Regarding Shuofang's new strategy. If you don't want to hear it, forget it." After Li Wan finished speaking, she looked like I'll leave if you don't listen.

When Li Jing heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "Oh, I want to hear what other good ideas you can come up with."

Li Wan sat down, put the toilet water in her hand on the table, and said, "Dad, I'll give you these two bottles of toilet water. You can save some, because I'll have to wait until I come back from Shuofang next time."

Li Jing put the toilet water aside and said: "It doesn't matter, you should tell me about the new way to deal with Shuofang."

Li Wan smiled mysteriously and said: "One word, trapped. They surrounded Shuofang and did not let them leave the city, making them become turtles in the urn."

"Nonsense, if this happens, if Jieli leads the Turkic army to come to the rescue, you will not be attacked from both sides.

Once Liang Shidu leads his army out of the city and joins forces with the Turkic army led by Jie Li, you will be defeated and return. Could it be that what I said last time was all in vain?" Li Jing said angrily.

Li Wan has always been given important responsibilities by him, and it is not an exaggeration to be regarded as his successor. How could she make such a low-level mistake?

"Dad, don't be angry. You said that when we besiege Shuofang, we will become very passive because of the Turkic reinforcements, and may be defeated by flanking attacks?" Li Wan repeated Li Jing's meaning again.

"Yes, Jie Li will not watch Shuofang be recaptured by the imperial court. He will definitely lead an army to assist Shuofang himself." Li Jing said with certainty, as he had thoroughly analyzed Shuofang's battle situation.

Li Wan added: "Dad, since you are so sure that the Turks will send a large army to support Shuofang, why don't you prepare a large army to ambush them and maybe kill Jieli."

"As you said, I have also thought about it. We need to divide our troops. Once we divide our troops, it will be difficult for the army to encircle Shuofang. If the Liang division becomes ruthless and tries to defeat them, wouldn't you be in for a hard fight? This is

Make the next move." Li Jing said.

Li Wan smiled softly and said: "Dad, I have the best strategy, which is to attack the heart."

"Strategy to attack the heart? Are you planning to besiege Shuofang, instill fear in Shuofang's soldiers and civilians, and then open the city gates and surrender?"

"No, Dad, you are thinking too simply. Although the siege of Shuofang will frighten the soldiers and civilians, if they are too frightened, they will desperately seek to survive. Once there is a battle, they are the most terrifying enemies.

So when they think they can't survive, give them a chance to survive. Not only can they survive, but they can also get promotions.

Dad, what do you think the soldiers and civilians of Shuofang will do?" Li Wan said with an expression on her face as if she were watching a show.

Li Jing's brows were furrowed. He had already made assumptions based on what Li Wan said and turned a deaf ear to Li Wan's questions.

Seeing this, Li Wan could only shut up obediently and wait for Li Jing to come to his senses.

After a long time, Li Jing shouted excitedly and said: "Gao, it's really Gao, Li Wan, how did you come up with such a clever plan?

Attacking the heart is the first priority, and attacking the heart is the top priority. Yes, for Shuo Fang, we only need to attack the heart. There is no need to attack the city at all, just besiege it."

"Dad, you figured it out so quickly?" Li Wan asked knowingly, how could she not understand Li Jing's abilities?

Li Jing said: "Yes, I have already thought about it and this plan is feasible. Tell me, how did you come up with it?"

Li Wan said: "Li Feng told me."

"He actually understands military affairs? I really didn't expect it." Li Jing sighed, "Why did he tell you? Tell me again."

"Yes. Li Feng told me that it's okay..."

Immediately, Li Wan repeated Li Feng's words.

After listening to this, Li Jing said loudly: "Talent, what a talent. He has thought of things that I have never thought of. He raided the villages around Shuofang, collected grain, and prevented Shuofang from having any chance to get grain again.

Without food, they will be hungry, and when they are hungry, people will panic. In such a situation, when the army presses on the border and besieges Shuofang, both Liang Shidu and ordinary people will fall into despair.

It gives people a hope in despair. His Majesty's decree is hope. When people see the hope of living, then some people who don't want them to live become more annoying.

In particular, His Majesty's imperial edict contains not only the hope of living, but also the hope of a prosperous life.

Once the imperial decree comes out, it doesn't matter even if Master Liang doesn't want to surrender, as long as a few of his men want to surrender.

They will deal with the group of people who do not want to surrender and hinder their chances of promotion and wealth. Master Liang will probably be killed by his men.

The best candidate is Liang Shidu's cousin Liang Luoren. I don't know why Li Feng thinks so, but you can give it a try, because I think so too.

As for the Turkic army, as long as Chai Shao can hold off the Turkic army for a few days, Shuofang will belong to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Wan, you go to Chai Shao tomorrow and tell him about this. Don't say it was me who said it, just say it was what you thought."

Li Wandao: "Will he believe it?"

"Whether he believes it or not, if he doesn't write the memorial, you can write it yourself. Anyway, you must get the imperial decree before departure. When your majesty asks, just say it was Li Feng who said it." Li Jing said.

Li Wan asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

"Your Majesty is very familiar with Li Feng, so you can mention Li Feng's name."

"I see."

As for Chai Shao, he happily returned to Chang'an, gathered people and was about to go back to Taiping Village to transport alcohol, but found that one transportation tool was missing, an ox cart.

Twenty thousand kilograms of alcohol, calculated as one jar of one hundred kilograms of alcohol, would also be two hundred wine jars. If one oxcart holds ten jars, then twenty oxcarts would be needed.

Twenty horse-drawn carriages are easy to find, but twenty ox-carts are difficult to find. If you have one or two ox-carts in your home, that is already a lot. Basically, all the homes use horse-drawn carriages.

As a result, Chai Shaoguang spent most of the day raising the bullock carts. By the time he arrived at Taiping Village, the sun had already set.

Li Feng didn't embarrass Chai Sha and simply asked him to take away the 20,000 kilograms of alcohol.

After Chai Shao got the alcohol, he was very happy and did not care about Li Feng's previous rudeness to him.

…

Cui Zhi returned to Chang'an and immediately went to find his father. Li Feng's attitude toward him today was very unkind.

At the same time, he also saw that Li Feng was not afraid of going to court with him at all. A person who was not afraid of going to court with a wealthy family would not be afraid of going to court unless he had someone to rely on or had extraordinary evidence.

Otherwise, no one would want to offend the family, and even His Majesty would avoid any conflicts.

What he is most afraid of now is that Li Feng has some extraordinary evidence and the lawsuit will be lost. In this way, Cui's face will be lost.

"Dad, does Li Feng have any evidence to prove that it was my Cui's Winery's fault?"

Cui Jinhua said: "He only has one contract in his hand, the contract signed with our winery. We also have a copy of this contract. At that time, Li Feng must have asked for two copies, one for us and one for him."

"Where's the contract?"

"Come here, give the contract to the young master."

A maid came to Cui Zhi with a box and handed the box to Cui Zhi.

Cui Zhi opened the box, took out the contract, and said, "Dad, since we are going to litigate with the other party, why do we keep such important evidence?"

Cui Jinhua said: "Evidence? Huh, although Zhi'er made a smart decision, he is still too young. Evidence can prove that the other party is right, and this evidence can also prove that we are right. It depends on how you use this evidence."

After Cui Zhi read the contents of the contract, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously: "My father is still very resourceful, and my son admires it."
