Chapter 0977 There is no bad option in the multiple-choice question of the superior
Zhao Chengyong bowed in agreement and walked out of the Chinese army's tent holding the box containing Liang Shidu's head.
After the sound of Zhao Chengyong's footsteps completely disappeared, Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin and said: "Liang Kingdom has been conquered by us, the Dahe Alliance should be coming soon, and only Jieli is left.
As long as we win Jieli, we can have a good discussion with Ashnabil about whether to accept his surrender."
"Ah sneeze..."
Li Shimin sneezed, rubbed his nose that was already red from the cold, and said disdainfully: "You have no intention of recruiting Ashinabil to surrender, so why are you pretending to be here?"
Li Yuanji had just finished playing with the head of a major enemy, and other major enemies were already on the chopping block of the Tang Dynasty. It was only a matter of time before their heads were chopped off, so he was in a good mood and did not argue with Li Shimin. He smiled and said: "What are you talking about?"
You can't say that, we still need Ashnabil to surrender..."
Li Shimin curled his lips and said sarcastically: "Yes, you need Ashinabil to surrender, but you won't accept it."
At this point, Li Shimin snorted again and continued: "However, don't be too happy, it's winter now, and there will be heavy snowfall on the grassland at every turn.
The heavy snow cover made it difficult for our army to discern its direction.
The grassland people are different. They are used to this kind of weather and have a way of identifying directions in this kind of weather.
Under such circumstances, if something went wrong between Li Jing, Ashina Simo, and the man named Yi Nan, and Jie Li escaped from their encirclement, it would be very likely that Jie Li would be lost.
Jieli has already suffered a loss in the hands of Datang. If he suffers another loss, there is a high chance that he will hide. Then it will be difficult for you to find him again.
And this kind of hero is not scary when he stands up, but is scary when he hides.
If you don't get rid of him then, you will have no peace."
The peace Li Shimin refers to is spiritual peace.
Li Yuanji also knew this truth.
This is like fighting a snake. The snake is actually not that scary when it is in front of you. As long as you hold a sharp weapon, you can kill it. But if the snake hides and hides around you, even if it is scared,
If I don't see you, I will feel sick and have trouble sleeping and eating.
Jie Li is not a snake to the Tang Dynasty now, he should be regarded as a lame old wolf, but once he is let go, he will turn into a snake.
The kind of snake that appears from your side out of nowhere and launches a sudden attack on you.
It is a bit exaggerated to say that he is a threat to the Tang Dynasty and can scare people, but it is absolutely correct to say that he can scare people.
As long as he is alive, everyone in the Tang Dynasty will remember that there is such a person, and will be wary that he will suddenly appear and launch a surprise attack on the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, for the sake of the peace of the Tang Dynasty, and to prevent himself from getting worried, he must not let Jie Li go.
"Second brother, there is no need to worry about this. I have already told Li Jing not to let Jie Li go. I believe he will not let me down."
Li Yuanji said with a smile, full of confidence in his words.
The reason why he had such great confidence was not that he really believed that Li Jing would not let him down, but that he sent Jieli's nemesis to Yinshan shortly after Li Jing went on the expedition.
Who is Jie Li's nemesis?
That is Zhang Baoxiang, who is not famous in history, but has the best luck in the Tang Dynasty.
Because of him, Zhang Baoxiang did not become the deputy general manager of the march on Dingxiang Road as in history, but became the deputy general manager of the march on Yansui Road. He was nominally under the command of Li Shenfu, the general manager of the march on Yansui Road, but in fact he was
Li Shiji's subordinates acted as cattle and horses.
Therefore, it is very easy to transfer Zhang Baoxiang to Yinshan. One sentence is enough and there is no need to do anything else.
With Zhang Baoxiang as a double insurance, it is unlikely that Jie Li will escape.
Even if Zhang Baoxiang's luck failed and Jie Li got away, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Although after Jieli escaped, he could easily become someone who hated others, but Jieli's escape could also be used as an excuse for the Tang Dynasty to train the Turks.
For example, he used this to question Ashina Simo and other Turkic chiefs who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, whether they deliberately let Jie Li go.
Ashina Simo and other Turkic chiefs will devote more loyalty in order to clear themselves of suspicion.
It would be easier for the Tang Dynasty to drive them.
Many people think that when those in power make choices, they will face the same options as them, and they will choose between good and bad.
actually not.
Many times, when a person in power makes a choice, the choice he faces is not good or bad, but very good, and very good, with no bad choice at all.
Because when mature superiors do things, they will only pursue the good and the good, and will not pursue the bad at all. Once a bad option appears, they will not do it and will not end up.
Therefore, after they are dismissed, there will be no bad options among the options they face.
Take the case of Jieli as an example. After Jieli was defeated in Qingzhou and the Turks were divided into two parts, Datang had no option to deal with Jieli.
Because Jieli's strength has been weakened to a great extent, while Datang's strength is growing rapidly.
In the past, everyone was evenly matched, and the Tang Dynasty was even weaker than the Turks. But now, the strength of the Tang Dynasty far exceeds that of the Turks.
Fighting the Turks is almost crushing if you don't make any mistakes.
Therefore, in the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, there was no option of victory or defeat. There were only options of a unilateral big victory or a small victory for the Tang Dynasty.
In this case, whether Jieli was captured or escaped, it would not affect the overall situation.
Snakes are snakes after all. No matter how arrogant they are, they are no match for jackals, tigers and leopards.
Although jackals have a bad reputation in the animal world, and using it to describe people also implies that people are seen as bad people, there are people in the Tang Dynasty who are like jackals.
Therefore, it is not out of the ordinary to use jackals, tigers and leopards to describe the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
"snort!"
Li Shimin snorted and said: "He has disappointed you, what can you do? Can you still kill him?"
Li Yuanji curled his lips and said, "Dixue Neng", ahem, it's pointless to fight hard.
Jieli has now been ruined. If he is defeated again in Mobei, he will be completely unable to stand up. All he can do is to take the remaining troops and flee to the Western Turks to seek survival in the Western Turks.
Therefore, whether Jie Li is captured or not will not affect the overall situation, so why bother taking advantage of this kind of thing?
What's more, even if Jie Li goes to the Western Turks, he will not be tolerated by Tong Yehu, who has been buried in the sky. Yi Nan will not forget the revenge of killing his father.
So Jieli went to the Western Turks and was still hanging on. Whether he could survive the double strangulation of Tong Yehu and Yi Nan was a question, let alone other things.
"You stay here by yourself, I'll go out for a walk."
Li Yuanji was too lazy to talk to Li Shimin, a arrogant man, so he put on his big cloak and left the Chinese army's tent.
In October, the Turks have entered the dead of winter, so the weather is extremely cold.
Even with Yuan Yi to keep them warm, the soldiers still had runny noses from the cold, and some even suffered from frostbite on their bodies.
So in their free time, they would sit together in small groups, leaning against the tent, facing the sun, and smearing each other with antifreeze marmot oil.
Since marmots are a product of the grasslands, and the Tang Dynasty first entered the grasslands, the reserves of marmot oil are not abundant. There are only some seized from various Turkic tribes, so the soldiers will cherish it when using it.
Li Yuanji watched helplessly as two soldiers of similar age, one of them applied marmot oil on his hand and then rubbed it wildly on the other's hand.
It seems that the soldier who applied marmot oil first is applying marmot oil to another soldier, but if you look closely, you will find that they are sharing the little bit of marmot oil.
Because both of them had frostbite on their hands, the little bit of marmot oil they applied was spread evenly on their hands.
Li Yuanji summoned Li Shiji, who was patrolling the camp in the distance, and asked: "How many soldiers in the camp have frostbite?"
Li Shiji said with a bitter look on his face: "It's almost full length. Some of the scouts who often run outside need amputation..."
When chilblains develop to a certain extent, amputation is inevitable.
Because you can still live after amputation, but there is a high chance that you will die without amputation.
Datang’s medical conditions are very limited, as are its medical resources.
Even though medical resources have increased significantly in recent years and medical conditions have also improved significantly, they still cannot take care of large groups of people.
For example, when a large army goes to war and almost all of them suffer from frostbite, it is impossible to take care of everyone and let everyone survive after suffering from frostbite.
Therefore, when large-scale frostbite occurs and the frostbite is still severe, amputation is the most effective and most helpless treatment method.
"Didn't we give marmot oil to the soldiers and firewood to keep out the cold?"
Li Yuanji frowned and asked.
Li Shiji smiled bitterly and said: "The quantity of marmot oil is limited, I have given priority to the soldiers fighting abroad, and the remaining soldiers can not get much.
As for the firewood used to keep out the cold, it was all cow dung and horse dung, which smelled very strong when burned, so the soldiers refused to use it."
Li Yuanji stared and said: "On the grassland, instead of burning cow dung and horse dung, what can we burn? Do you think it is possible to ask people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to send some dry firewood or charcoal?"
It's strange to say that when the Han people are submissive, they are very submissive and will be so submissive that it makes you feel comfortable no matter how you look at them. But when they are stubborn, they are so stubborn that it makes you want to hit someone.
Take, for example, burning cow dung and horse dung.
Grassland people take it for granted and even regard cow dung and horse dung as their daily fuel.
But the Han people can't do that. Just because they dislike the smell of burning cow dung and horse dung, they refuse to burn it as normal firewood or use it to keep warm.
Li Shiji smiled even more bitterly and said: "I know it's impossible, but I've tried to persuade, scold, and even beat them, but they just don't listen."
Li Yuanji was silent for a while, frowned and said, "Then we can only lead by example."
