Chapter 104: Attack at the middle of the night

Gao Qingtai looked at Chen Wanrong in surprise: "Brother Chen, do you really don't know?"

"I really don't have an acquaintance from the Ministry of War." Chen Wanrong answered very affirmatively.

Gao Qingtai touched his forehead and thoughtfully said, "This is strange. The result of the big brother's inquiry was that people in the Ministry of War heard that this is your thing, brother, so they would try it out for 3,000 jin."

Just because of this, Chen Wanrong asked hurriedly: "Brother Gao, is there any?"

Gao Qingtai regretted it a little: "Brother thought that my brother is so powerful in the Ministry of War, and my brother is worry-free, so I didn't ask more. Brother, think about it carefully, do you know someone who is particularly powerful?"

After his reminder, Chen Wanrong understood a little. He patted his forehead and raised his tone a lot: "It must be him!"

"Who is it?" Gao Qingtai asked hurriedly. Those who can mobilize the Ministry of War will definitely have the power of the world. If you use Chen Wanrong's relationship to get in touch with this person, it will be much more convenient to do business in the future. This is a businessman's small calculation, and he cannot be blamed for engaging in the business.

Chen Wanrong shook his head and said, "Brother Gao, I'm just guessing about this matter. It's still unclear whether it's accurate or not. Besides, I only have one meeting with him, and I can't tell you."

This person has a very big origin. Chen Wanrong didn't want Gao Qingtai to know his relationship with this person, so he politely declined. It was not entirely an excuse. If Chen Wanrong's guess was correct, Chen Wanrong and this person had indeed only met once, and they fought fiercely as soon as they met.

A smart person from high-definition Tai knew that Chen Wanrong was unwilling to say it, so he stopped asking.

His broad mind was not only embarrassing Chen Wanrong on March 3rd, but he was really good to Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong couldn't say this, so he changed the topic and said: "I heard from Feng's accountant that he thought he wanted to attack Shibao City before he bought it."

Gao Dean slapped his thighs, and the door was adjusted and improved a lot, saying, "The prince is so clever! It's this!" His thumb stood up to the roof.

"Is it really the prince's idea?" Chen Wanrong had previously suspected that this was Li Longji's idea, and he hurriedly asked for verification when he heard this.

Gao Qingtai lowered his voice and said, "According to the news from the palace, this is indeed the prince's idea. Originally, according to the emperor and the princess's intention, he was going to concentrate his troops to fight the Turks, but the prince advocated fighting Shibao City first and then turned around to fight the Turks. Brother, you know that the princess and the prince are incompatible, so the prince's claim of the prince will naturally oppose it. But the prince convinced the emperor and the prince, so he decided to hit Shibao City."

Chen Wanrong was secretly shocked. Even the ordinary people of Gao Qingtai knew about such a secret matter. Can Tubo not know about it? The ears and ears in the palace are too complicated, and it is difficult to keep some secrets. It was a sudden loss of three points before the battle was even more serious.

Gao Dean Taike did not have such concerns as him. When he was happy, his tone increased a lot: "Although my elder brother doesn't understand military affairs, he can see that the prince's skill is quite clever. Since the Shibao City was occupied by Tubo, there have been endless troubles. The Tang Dynasty has not taken down many attacks. There are not 100,000 soldiers who died under Shibao City, which is almost the same."

Such an important strategic key does not require too high IQ to see its importance. Even an emperor like Zhongzong and Ruizong who did nothing would not let go, and would dispatch troops to fight for it. Therefore, for decades, many soldiers of the Tang army died under Shibao City.

"In order to prevent Tubo from harassing Hehuang and Longyou, the imperial court stationed 100,000 troops and 100,000 troops were waiting for the battle. It was not necessary to say that it was huge, but more importantly, it was dispersed our strength. The Anbei Protectorate always wanted to regain the northern land and make the Turks surrender again, but he never received strong reinforcements from the court, and he was always unable to get the court's strong reinforcements." Gao Qingtai analyzed it in a reasonable way: "If you take down Shibao City, the Tang Dynasty only needs to send a small number of troops to garrison. You can transfer the army to the north and fight a good battle with the Turks. I don't believe that the glory of Emperor Taizong cannot be reproduced!"

Reappearing the glory of Emperor Taizong of Tang was the dream of countless Tang people. Although Gao Qingtai was among the merchants, he also had this heart. He said this with passionate words, and his face showed red light, and he wanted to carry a knife to the battlefield.

His analysis was very reasonable, but it was the consensus of the Tang people at that time. It was not surprising that he could have such an opinion. However, Chen Wanrong saw further than him and took over the conversation and said, "You can take advantage of the loss of Shibao City. The Tubo country is afraid that the Tang army would go deep into its heart and enter into a favorable opportunity to enter into its heart and enter into a favorable treaty with Tubo, forcing it to surrender and relieve the threat."

Once Shibao City was taken down, if the Tang Dynasty mobilized a large army and took a stance to attack Tubo, Tubo would have to surrender and seek peace, and the northwest border would have a short period of peace. With these years of peace, the Tang Dynasty would be able to free up its hands to attack the depths of the desert and destroy the Later Turks.

Once the Turks were destroyed and the threat from the north was lifted, the Tang army could advance westward and compete with the Dashi Empire for control of the Middle East. This prospect is really wonderful.

Starting from Shibao City, he really grasped the most critical key point. He played the entire strategy of the Tang Dynasty with one move. Li Longji's game was very clever and showed his outstanding strategic vision. Chen Wanrong admired it very much.

As for Princess Taiping’s support, it is not a problem. No matter who they are the emperor, it is a great thing to have a strategic initiative after all. Princess Taiping temporarily abandons past grudges, and it is normal to support Li Longji’s point of view.

High-definition Thai slammed the high five and said, "Brother, you are still smart, I didn't expect this section."

"Brother has been awarded, it's not difficult to guess. Sooner or later, you will think of it." Chen Wanrong said with a smile. Even if he couldn't imagine it now, when Shibao City was taken down, Tubo would come to his door, and it would be impossible to deal with it.

Gao Qingtai's interest was still unabated, and she was so happy that it seemed as if the Tang Dynasty had already taken the Shibao City: "In order to take the Shibao City, the Turks will temporarily make the Turks rampant, and even if they throw one or two cities to the Turks, it would be cost-effective."

If both cannot be taken into account, this is an inevitable move. Chen Wanrong agrees with his words: "Yes!"

Gao Qingtai stood up: "Brother, go and see how much alcohol has been done. Once this battle starts, there will be casualties and injuries. If you have alcohol, you can save many soldiers, which can be considered as doing something to the court!"

The patriotism is the same, and even the most despised businessman does not lack this passion. Chen Wanrong stood up and said, "Please!" The two of them left together.

When he came to the winery and looked at the lively scene, Gao Qingtai was so happy that he rolled up his sleeves and joined the ranks of alcohol. Chen Wanrong originally wanted to not want him to participate, but Gao Qingtai's answer was: "Let me contribute some effort to this battle!" Chen Wanrong had to let him do it.

After a while on the fourth day, three thousand kilograms of alcohol were ready. High-definition Tai happily brought the alcohol back to Chang'an, ready to "work" for the Tang Dynasty.

After seeing off the high-definition Tai, Chen Wanrong said to Sun Zhengping: "Shopkeeper Sun, please tell me to keep packing your things and rest. Today is not counted, I will give you two days off and have a good rest. In addition, everyone, Xie Yi, who will give each person three taels of silver."

It is a good thing to have a wig, but Sun Zhengping’s mind is a bit large, so he hurriedly reminded: “Is there too much boss? Just send a day and send a tael of silver.”

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "It was the day before yesterday, and everyone didn't have a break. These days, everyone has been working hard and busy at night. They haven't had much rest. They are tired. After they have enough rest, they can only work! The friends of the Zheng family came to help, and they can only give one or two taels of silver. I can't say that they can give me three taels of money."

This is reasonable. The servants of the Zheng Mansion work free of charge and it is okay not to give money. But this kind of favor is not good, and they must be expressed to be good. Sun Zhengping no longer insisted and announced Chen Wanrong's decision, which attracted a lot of praise. The servants of the Zheng Mansion supported the most. The future son-in-law would only take three taels of silver when he took action. He would say more than more, and he would say less. After the Chen-Zheng family got married, I don't know how much benefits the son-in-law gave him.

I arranged the winery business, went home, recruited the hired workers, asked them to take things and prepare for holidays, all of which were happy. They have been working overtime these days, and even occupied the ten-day holiday. I was a little tired and wanted to rest.

After receiving the money, the workers took the money and said goodbye. They were preparing to go to the city to buy some things and go home to visit their relatives. Xiao Shangrong, Han Huahua and their parents also wanted to go home to see each other, so they left one after another.

The originally bustling mansion suddenly became deserted. Zheng Jianqiu smiled and suggested: "Wanrong, if you can, go to the countryside for two days and have some leisure time."

What he meant was to go to Chen Wanrong's hometown to see. The earliest proposal was to suggest that Chen Wanrong should come to propose marriage. Chen Wanrong has officially proposed marriage and can stop going. Now that the work is over, everyone is happy. Going to the countryside to take a look, you can relax your tired body and mind and treat it as a recuperation.

This suggestion is good, Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Okay! I haven't been home for a long time, so I'm just going back and have a look." Although the three thatched huts are not worth nostalgic, it was in these three thatched huts that Chen Wanrong earned his first pot of gold in the Tang Dynasty, laying the foundation, which has special significance. I really miss it. It's quite warm to be able to go back and have a walk.

When Chen Laoshi heard this, he opened his mouth and laughed: "Good to go home, good to go home!" He has lived in thatched huts for decades, and his feelings are particularly deep. It is a great pleasure to go back and see them.

Chen Wang was also happy, but she did not forget the main thing: "Wanrong, mom has something to do, please help me." She wanted to take Chen Wanrong aside to discuss how to entertain Zheng Jianqiu and the others. The first time her children and in-laws came to her house, she naturally wanted to fulfill her friendship as a landlord, and this discussion was necessary.

Zheng Jianqiu knew her thoughts and smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that trouble. There are still some things at home, so let's bring them with you." The implication is that they are all family members, who will follow whom.

Zheng Zhou replied, "Your, ours, aren't the same?"

Zheng Qing likes to hear these words the most. She glanced at Chen Wanrong, said nothing, and pursed her lips tightly.

"Mom, let's do it." Chen Wanrong knew that Zheng Jianqiu and the others wanted to relax now, but they didn't care about food and accommodation, so they responded with ease.

Chen Wangshi had no choice but to agree: "Master, you drive the car, let's go back now."

Of course it’s okay to drive a ox cart home, but Zheng Jian’s considerations are more thoughtful than her: “Sister-in-law, we still have a car, just get one.”

He was so kind that although Chen Wangshi thought it was inappropriate, he agreed: "Then thank you Mr. Zheng."

This matter was decided, and Chen Wanrong explained to Shi Dazhu, asking them to take good care of their family, so he led Blue and White and Zheng Jianqiu and others to the Zheng Mansion.

Even Chen Wanrong didn't explain it, Shi Dazhu and the others had no problem. This was their responsibility. The only extra thing was to cook by themselves. Fortunately, the food was ready, and it depends on their cooking skills.

When he arrived at Zheng Mansion, Zheng Jianqiu asked someone to get a car and bring some food. He drove the car to the Chen family. Chen Wanrong, Zheng Qing, Zheng Wanru and Qing'e rode a horse, Zheng Jianqiu and Chen Laoshi and his wife took the car, and a large group of people began their journey home.

This time I came out to relax my body and mind, so I didn’t have to hurry and just walk slowly. While walking, I looked at the charm and was quite leisurely. Zheng Qing was the most happy. The first time I went to my husband’s house, the feeling was very strange, both sweet and warm, and a little shy.

Ning County is not far from my hometown. Although I was walking slowly, I started the path soon. As soon as I got on the path, I became closer to home. Chen Laoshi was very excited. His head poked out from the window, looked around, and kept commenting: "The crops in the east are growing well, Zhang San is a little lazy, he has less fertilizer, and there are still a lot of grass." The excitement was beyond words.

Chen Wangshi was in a good mood and pointed: "Look, that's the wife of the Li Si family, that's Zhao Sanlai. This Sanlaizi is still so thick, working naked."

Zheng Qing was very familiar with this pastoral scene and rode with Chen Wanrong: "It seems like he was back to the scene when he was working in the field before."

She had a lot of hardships in her small children and did a lot of farm work. When she first saw this, the scene was both sweet and bitter. Chen Wanrong hurriedly comforted her: "A person has to experience a lot of things in his life. It is a blessing to be bitter first and then sweet, and we will have a good life in the future."

This was both encouragement and pun. Zheng Qing was happy when she heard it, nodded slightly, nodded with a wonderful look, looking at Chen Wanrong.

It felt good to go home. Three thatched huts appeared in sight, and a sense of intimacy came to my face. Chen Wanrong couldn't help but get excited, slapped his horse and rushed over quickly. Zheng Qing and the others hurriedly followed.

It was still a familiar thatched hut. After coming to the Tang Dynasty, Chen Wanrong left home many times and went home many times. Every time he returned, the Chen Wang couple would follow him, pouring tea and delivering water, which made people warm. Today, the house was deserted and no one came to greet him, and no one handed him hot water to moisten his throat, which was less warm than the warmth of the past.

Fortunately, Zheng Qing, a great beauty, was with her. When Chen Laoshi and the others arrived home, there were too many people, so they were naturally lively and deserted.

Chen Wang opened the door, and a musty smell came to his face, so it took a lot of time to take care of it. Everyone started to move the food into the house, and Zheng Zhou took the broom and started cleaning it.

Chen Wang was so panicked that he stopped him: "Girl, how did this happen? Let it go."

Zheng Zhou took over the conversation with a smile: "Sister-in-law, it's okay. In the past, when we lived in Ku Kiln, the wind blew and dust were blowing, and the ground was covered with mud, and it was impossible to clean it. Sister-in-law, you are blessed than us, and you still have a house to live in!"

Although it was a thing of the past, it still made people's heart beat. Chen Wangshi wiped her eyes and said, "Girl, where did you say you've gone? If it weren't for Wanrong, we would still live here."

Zheng Jianqiu changed the Zheng family, Chen Wanrong changed the Chen family, and the two men were standing shoulder to shoulder, with their eyes in contact, and they really felt a little sympathetic!

She had to persevere, but she could only let her do it. Everyone started to take care of it, and it took the boss a lot to do it. The rest was to look around and appreciate the country style.

I used to live in the countryside, but I didn’t find how beautiful the countryside was. Now that my family has changed and my mood has changed. Looking at it with an appreciation attitude, it’s different. Only then did Chen Wanrong realize that the countryside is really beautiful, fresh and comfortable, making people feel relaxed, and they have no energy for the whole day, making people relax their body and mind.

At night, after dinner, everyone sat around the yard. The night sky with twinkling stars was particularly quiet, and the breeze was blowing, which was even more pleasant and refreshing. Talking about everything, talking about some interesting things, telling some jokes, and laughing in a circle when you are happy. Talking about the candle at night will make you have some fun.

In Ning County, in the old Zheng family's house, a ghostly black shadow appeared on the wall. He looked around and then jumped down, extremely light and landed silently.

The black shadow held the sword on his waist, and a slight clanging sound rang out. The sword was already in his hand. Under the light of the stars and moon, the sword was shining with a cold light. The black shadow held the sword and spread his body, as if it was as quick as a raccoon cat, and entered the yard.

After searching around, no one was seen. The shadow said viciously: "Chen Wanrong, you evil man, you can run away, the monk can't run away, I can burn your turtle nest!" His tone was fierce and he acted viciously, as if Chen Wanrong and he had a grudge against him to kill his father.
