War is often cruel and tragic. Both the enemy and ourselves are trying to win in the process of consuming resources, material resources and human lives.
But the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, to be honest, was basically a one-sided situation. It was brutal and tragic, but it was all Goguryeo's fault.
Since the war began, the Tang army's losses were indeed not great.
It must be said that this is the result of the crushing of civilization. The war between firearms and cold weapons is extremely unfair.
In the original history, braids shot at horse archers, thousands of people charged, and at the cost of countless lives, they still could not break through the array of one or two thousand musketeers, which ultimately led to the darkest moment in Chinese history, a century of humiliation. That was also The crushing of backward civilization by advanced civilization.
In this era, Li Qinzai came and brought advanced civilization.
As a result, the Tang army became the crusher, and the humiliated party became Goguryeo.
On the third day after Li Ji woke up, General Qi Bi He Lidian went out to fight. Five thousand soldiers and horses were left in the Tang army's camp to protect Li Ji, and the rest of the soldiers went straight to Wugu City.
Li Ji's injuries recovered a little, but he still couldn't speak. He relied on his eyes to communicate with others.
Li Qinzai suspected that after Li Ji retires in the future, even if he changes his career to acting, he will definitely become an actor.
With just one pair of eyes, everything is full of drama.
After Li Ji woke up, Li Qinzai took over the job of serving Li Ji, including Xiao Baga and Jin Dayan.
Xiao Baga was responsible for boiling medicine and making liquid food, Jin Dayan was responsible for follow-up treatment, and Li Qinzai... was responsible for translating.
The Li family are all smart people. After two days of getting along with each other, Li Qinzai could basically understand Li Ji's meaning from his eyes.
The main reason was that Li Ji couldn't speak, so whatever Li Qinzai said was what he said, and Li Ji couldn't jump up and hit him on the knee anyway.
Qibi Heli led an army to attack the city, but Li Qinzai was not interested in participating. He formed a three-person service team in the camp's headquarters to be responsible for Li Ji's medical care and diet.
As for the quality of service, Xiao Baga and Jin Dayan are remarkable, but Li Qinzai... probably does not have the talent for the service industry. Every time Li Ji sees him, his eyes are not very kind, and he wants to eat him alive. Similar.
With a bowl of medicinal soup in his hand, Li Qinzai blew a few breaths of cool air, scooped it up with a small wooden spoon and handed it to Li Ji's mouth.
"Dalang..."
Li Ji's eyes widened angrily, and Li Qinzai quickly changed his words: "Grandpa, I need to drink some medicine..."
Li Ji opened his mouth to drink the medicine and took a small sip. His old face wrinkled up in pain, like a chrysanthemum that had been stepped on.
Li Qinzai fed him a second time, and Li Ji refused to open his mouth.
After the old man woke up, his personality seemed to have changed. He became more pretentious, like a child, and the more he lived, the more he returned.
Li Qinzai had no choice but to comfort him softly: "The medicine is hard to drink, and the shit is hard to eat, but grandpa still takes it, otherwise it will be difficult to recover. Be obedient, be good, and open your mouth..."
Li Ji was furious, pursed his lips tightly, and became even more reluctant to open his mouth.
Li Qinzai put down the medicine bowl and sighed helplessly.
If this wasn't a blood relative, Li Qinzai would have slapped him right now. How dare you be so pretentious when Fifth Young Master personally feeds the medicine.
But this person in front of him was his grandfather, and Li Qinzai could only coax him like a grandson, but did not dare to get angry with him.
Grandfather and grandson are at odds with each other, and Kim Dayeon opens the curtain and enters.
Seeing the almost untouched medicine bowl next to the bed, and the uncompromising confrontation between the grandfather and grandson, Jin Dayan immediately understood.
Walking to the bed, Jin Dayan said to Li Qinzai: "I'll do it."
After speaking, he picked up the medicine bowl and handed a spoonful of medicine soup to Li Ji's mouth. To Li Qinzai's surprise, Li Ji obediently opened his mouth and drank it.
Li Qinzai said in shock: "What do you mean? I seem to be insulted..."
Both of them ignored him.
After a long time, the whole bowl of medicinal soup went into Li Ji's stomach. Jin Dayan put away the medicinal bowl, bowed to Li Ji, and then left.
Li Qinzai sat beside the bed and frowned: "Grandpa, your double standard is wrong. I am your grandson."
Li Ji raised his hand with difficulty and made a gesture with three fingers. Li Qinzai understood immediately and hurriedly got paper and pen.
"Grandpa, you want to write a legacy...ahem, do you want to practice calligraphy?" Li Qinzai wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Li Ji held the brush in his hand and scribbled on the paper with difficulty.
The serious injury has not healed, and the handwriting is also crooked and uglier than Li Qinzai's handwriting.
After a long time, Li Ji finished writing a line of characters, and Li Qinzai recognized it for a moment before he understood it.
"That female doctor, don't mess with her, otherwise I will be the one who suffers retribution..."
Li Qinzai looked at him in shock. The grandfather and grandson had not communicated with each other for so long, and this was the first sentence he wrote?
"Grandpa, whether my grandson harms her or not, the retribution will be on me, what does it have to do with you?" Li Qinzai asked in astonishment.
Li Ji had no choice but to continue writing with difficulty: "I am seriously injured, and she is the only one who can cure it. I have fallen into her hands. If you harm her, I will be dead."
Li Qinzai thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense.
So Li Qinzai said hurriedly: "Grandpa, don't worry, how can your grandson be a villain who bullies women and children?"
Li Ji was too lazy to write, and just looked at him coldly with determined eyes, which revealed a clear meaning.
"What the hell are you!"
…………
Li Ji drank the medicine, took some liquid food, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
Li Qinzai walked out of the handsome tent and looked up at the sky.
The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly. It is mid-July now, the hottest summer of the year.
There are still soldiers patrolling in the camp, and there are also soldiers who are not on duty and not drilled, sitting cross-legged in the shade of the tent, with three or five people gathering together to laugh and laugh.

It can be seen from the hearty smiles on the faces of the soldiers that the morale of the Tang army is still high. From the beginning of the war to the present, there has been almost no defeat, which gives the soldiers great confidence.
Li Qinzai was a little worried. He knew that the confidence of the soldiers came from firearms.
In fact, Goguryeo was not as easy to conquer as they thought. In fact, the Goguryeo army was very brave. They were not afraid of death. Even if they were about to die, they would try their best to take a bite of the enemy's flesh. With such an army, it is no wonder that they could not conquer it after several dynasties.
It was only during this Eastern Expedition that the Tang army had advanced firearms and was able to destroy everything along the way.
Excessive self-confidence is arrogance. The key to determining the outcome of a war is people, not firearms. If the Tang army becomes more arrogant due to successive victories, it will be a foreshadowing of a great defeat.
He had hidden worries but didn't know how to express them. After Li Qinzai invented firearms, he kept telling Li Zhi and the veterans not to rely too much on firearms, let alone to despise the enemy because of the advanced weapons.
Everyone he told promised to do so, but Li Qinzai knew that no one, including Li Zhi, took it seriously. They only knew that having invincible firearms would be the capital to conquer all nations and expand their territory.
After leaving the commander's tent, Li Qinzai walked slowly towards his own tent. He planned to seriously talk to Li Ji about his hidden worries after Li Ji recovered from his injuries.
