Four hundred and fortieth chapters: drive the wolf to devour
There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "Flying birds are all good and good bows are hidden, but cunning rabbits are dead and running dogs are cooking."
Why is this so?
Because all the birds have been shot, what's the use of still keeping the bow and arrow? It can only be shelved.
After all the rabbits have been caught, you are left with a hunting dog that can only catch rabbits. It is useless and can only be killed for cooking.
So, what should you do if you don’t want to do this?
Then don't let the birds go away, don't catch all the rabbits.
In fact, many generals in history have played this trick.
They could not and did not dare to destroy the enemies that they could clearly destroy.
Because once their enemies are eliminated, it will probably be their death.
But mobilizing a large army for action cannot be accomplished in three to five days.
For example, if the Tang Dynasty wanted to launch a major war involving four to five million people, it would probably take several months just to prepare.
As for Tubo, now its roads are well built.
And their food is easier to transport than that of the Tang Dynasty.
Well, their food is actually cattle and sheep. They just need to be driven. One person can drive a herd.
They had a natural advantage over the Tang Dynasty in transporting grain and grass.
Moreover, many of their soldiers and horses belong to various tribes and do not need to be gathered together to set off.
Instead, just designate a gathering place and everyone can rush there.
Therefore, the Tubo army can be assembled quickly in about fifteen days, and then it can attack Tuyuhun.
After learning the news, Shangguan Yi fell into deep thought.
These counselors are full of bad ideas.
After all the intrigues and intrigues, Li Min thought he was no match for them.
Therefore, Li Min did not bother Shangguan Yi, but quietly walked out and let Shangguan Yi think for himself.
…
After returning to Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Li Min found that Qin Meng was holding a pole and chasing big and small prizes all over the house.
Next to him, there were maids such as Xue Xiaoxiao to help.
Then, I heard this cheap bird flying and shouting: "Come on, let me touch you. How is your development?"
"I hate it. It's broad daylight. What should I do if people see it?"
"Hey, why don't we just go back to the room?"
Hearing this annoying parrot imitating others, Li Min couldn't help but have black lines all over his head.
This was a private conversation between the couple, but unexpectedly the parrot heard it and started talking nonsense throughout the house.
No wonder, even Meng Xin, who has such a good temper, can't help but hit it with a pole.
At this moment, an eagle suddenly flew across the sky, and Xiao Cai was startled.
He turned around and flew down in a hurry, landing on Li Min's shoulder.
At this time, the eagle glanced down in the sky, and Xiao Cai was suddenly frightened and trembling.
But when I turned around and saw Li Min, I suddenly became more courageous.
He couldn't help but said arrogantly: "Huh, dear, come down if you have the guts? I'll see if I don't bake you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Li Min grabbed his tail and threw him into the sky.
The parrot was so frightened that its fur was all blown up, and it swooped down and got directly into Li Min's arms.
While drilling, he shouted: "Help, please help me!"
At Li Min's feet, a big white-haired dog lay on the ground, opening its big mouth. Through this mouth, you could even see its stomach.
This dog was laughing with its mouth open and slapping the ground with its paws desperately. It looked like it was laughing so hard that it couldn't stop laughing.
When Li Min lowered his head and saw the mean look of this broken dog, he jumped up and kicked him.
Woo! Woo!
This was enough to make him whine twice, run away with his tail between his legs, and then continue to laugh loudly.
At this time, Qin Mengxin came over with her maid.
Qin Mengxin's expression was extremely ugly.
Originally, she liked this parrot very much because it was eloquent.
But she really didn't expect that the parrot could learn words so quickly.
As long as it hears it, it can learn it in the blink of an eye and speak it out in the blink of an eye.
Such private conversations between husband and wife are originally nothing.
Even if someone overhears a few words, no one will spread the word.
But now that this parrot is known to everyone, what prestige will she have as a princess in the future?
Now, no matter how much I like this parrot, I have to deal with it.
Seeing Qin Mengxin's face, maid Qiuyue couldn't help but be shocked.
Just before Qin Mengxin spoke, the maid Qiuyue couldn't help shouting loudly: "You rotten parrot, stinky parrot, if you hear me speak, you will learn from me. See if I don't beat you to death today!"
There were quite a few servants at the scene, and the moment the maid Qiu Yue opened her mouth, the people around her burst into laughter.
However, Qin Mengxin and Li Min could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Qiuyue's words put everything on her shoulders.
Even though it hurt her reputation, she was a maid after all, so it didn't cause much damage.
It's just that a few days have passed.
And Li Min and Qin Mengxin naturally rewarded her.
At this time, Qin Mengxin took a deep look at Qiuyue.
Qin Mengxin glanced at the parrot that sneaked out of Li Min's arms and was about to slip away, but was caught by Li Min, and couldn't help but say:
"This parrot is talkative and talks nonsense. Keeping it in the house is offensive to moral standards. It's better to deal with it!"
Hearing Qin Mengxin's words, this mean parrot was so frightened that the fur all over its body stood up.
He flapped his wings desperately and shouted loudly with a high voice: "No, I'm wrong! I'm wrong! I won't dare to do it again! Please let me go for a while!"
Now, this bitch finally knows how to be afraid.
The cry is really pitiful.
Even Qin Meng's heart softened.
But when he thought of it shouting all over the house, Qin Meng's heart hardened again, and he couldn't help but said: "You say you don't dare now, who knows if you will still talk nonsense if I let you go?"
In a hurry, the parrot actually broke away from Li Min's clutches, but it didn't dare to run away.
Instead, he flew to Li Min's shoulder, grabbed Li Min's shoulder with one paw, stretched out the other paw, pointed hard at the sky, and then swore: "If you talk about it again in the future, I will let my whole family die! You guys
Just pluck all my hair and cook it for barbecue!”
Qin Mengxin stared at the parrot for a long time, making the cheap bird tremble with fear. After a while, she said: "Then I will bypass you today!"
As soon as he heard this, the parrot was so excited that he quickly flew to Qin Mengxin's shoulder and cautiously praised: "The princess is so beautiful today! The princess is so beautiful today!"
At this moment, Shangguan Yi came to visit.
Huh? Did Shangguan Yi come up with a countermeasure so quickly?
Li Min immediately invited Shangguan Yi into his study.
Sure enough, in this long time, Shangguan Yi had already figured out a countermeasure according to Li Min's ideas.
"Your Highness, I think we can use the strategy of driving away wolves and devouring tigers."
