Zhang Zai showed a sly smile, "However, when I sewed the wound on you, I stabbed a plum blossom pattern. In the future, you will live with this plum blossom and will never be thrown away for the rest of your life."

Ergouzi jumped up suddenly, trembling with anger, pointing at Zhang Zai and said, "You actually let me be a big man with a plum blossom for the rest of your life?"

Tattooing is now quite popular. Guo Wei, the Taizu of Later Zhou Dynasty, was nicknamed Guo Quer, and he came from tattoos. However, everyone usually tattoos jackals, tigers and leopards to highlight their own might.

There are such soldiers in the army who show off from time to time.

Ergouzi just think about it. When everyone shows off their tigers in their chests in the future, they hid aside with a plum blossom and shivered, and they wished they could hit and die on the elm tree.

Seeing that Ergouzi was about to cry, Zhang Zai laughed loudly and was extremely happy: "Look at your cowardly appearance, I'll cheat you!"

After Yelu Di Lugu took Sijin's troops to Yuguan, the Khitan army outside the Northkou had not attacked the city for many days. Not only that, they were also strengthening their camps and raising cattle and sheep, as if they were preparing to fight a protracted war and wanted to fight a Tang army in the Northkou until they died.

Neither the military soldiers like Ergouzi nor Confucian scholars like Zhang Zai had much feeling about this. If you insist on saying that there was, you would be happy to see it. Because this shows that their battle to defend the city has achieved a phased victory, and the Khitan barbarians dare not come up easily anymore.

Therefore, only the half-baked doctor Zhang Zai and the wounded soldiers like Ergouzi have the opportunity to show off their skills and calmly recuperate in the military camp.

Not only the Northkou, Juyongguan and Yuguan, the Khitan troops outside either slowed down their offensives, or simply stopped attacking the city, and began to focus on strengthening the camps and guard against the Tang army's attack.

The fierce Northern War has become extremely quiet and bizarre in just a few days.

As the commander of the northern border, Li Maozhen received the military order to make her find opportunities to fight and attack the Khitan army in an unconventional manner while ensuring that the defense line is not bad.

After receiving this military order, Li Maozhen pondered for a long time.

Unlike ordinary generals, she certainly knew what the dynasty was facing now. The wars in Hexi and Shu areas have been ignited, and some monks from the northern border have been transferred. Under such circumstances, it is of extraordinary significance to take the initiative to seek results.

What Li Ye wanted was not to behead many Khitan soldiers and defeat many Khitan troops, but to the military force.

Yelu Abaoji shrinks the front line and strengthens the camps to act in a defensive posture, obviously waiting for the Uighurs and Nanzhao to attack the Tang territory. If the dynasty only defends and counterattacks these two aspects, it will undoubtedly be led by Yelu Abaoji.

If the situation is really like this, the Khitan army that has stopped may launch another fierce attack after resting, putting great pressure on the northern border, making the dynasty monks stretched to the dispatch, and even broke through the northern border defense line with the support of the Uighurs and Nanzhao.

Only by taking the initiative and winning the results quickly and accurately can Yelu Abaoji not understand Li Ye's intentions and unable to judge Li Ye's arrangements. At the same time, it will inspire the morale of the Tang army in the northern region, and at the same time it will also boost the hearts of the central people, and ultimately achieve the goal of stabilizing the battle situation.

What Li Maozhen has to consider now is who to send out the seclusion to attack, which army to send to attack, and from which direction to attack.

There is no doubt that the answers to these three questions are not easy to find. Once you choose to make a mistake, lose your attack, and be defeated by the Khitan, the situation will become very serious.

If the Wolf-Tooth Army's elite cavalry is still there, Li Maozhen would not be worried. They are definitely the only target for implementing this military strategy. Unfortunately, there are no Wolf-Tooth Army's elite cavalry at present.

Among the Chang'an Imperial Army, in addition to the Wolf-fang Army, there is another army that is mainly composed of elite cavalry, that is, the Knights.

However, the cavalry army was too late to form an army, and it is still in progress. Although its combat power is not weak, it is still a little different from the vassal state army, compared with the old imperial guards and the central troops of the Khitan army.

"Li Ye is really going to give people a difficult problem."

Li Maozhen grabbed his hair and was a little furious, "But he said this military strategy is extremely important again, as if it is not implemented successfully, and a comprehensive victory cannot come..."

The irritable King Qi scratched his ears and his head, wishing he could lead an elite soldier to break out of the Great Wall.

Of course, this is not feasible. In addition to commanding the war, the most important thing for her to take charge of Youzhou was to check and balance Yelu Abaoji. Otherwise, with Yelu Abaoji's combat power, it would be possible to cause great disaster to the Tang army at any time and could not be moved lightly.

There are many strong military generals in the entire northern border, but very few can share the pressure on King Qi. Zhao Bingkun is actually one, but if he wants him to lead his troops to fight, if there is a slight mistake, it would be too sorry for the military and may cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, Zhao Nianci has died in battle.

King Qi, who had been thinking hard for half a day, finally went to Yunzhou.

When the wars in Juyongguan, Beikou and Yuguan were fierce, Yunzhou seemed to be a fairyland in Taoyuan and was out of the matter.

After the Luoyankou battle ended and Yelu Xienichi failed to attack Yunzhou, there was no big battle here. Therefore, the chief general of the Wolf-fang Army, who was straight and standing on the top of the city with a knife, could never find a chance to avenge his comrades in the battle.

Apart from the five thousand elite cavalry, the Wolf Tooth Army only has 30,000 infantry left. Without good fighter planes, infantry naturally cannot enter the grassland rashly. If the enemy does not come to attack, it will be useless to have a brave body.

When King Qi flew to the city, he saw Shangguan Qingcheng's familiar figure, his eyes full of strangeness and surprise.

The chief general of the Wolf Tooth Army in front of him was already extremely thin, and the armor that was originally close to him seemed to be hanging on a dry bone.

Before Li Maozhen could speak, Shangguan Qingcheng had already looked at her.

With just one glance, Li Maozhen couldn't help but feel shocked.

Those eyes were still sharp.

It is more sharp than any sword and weapon in the world.

Cooperating with her thin cheeks, these eyes looked a little gloomy and terrifying.

Now, these eyes saw Li Maozhen, like the lit stars, full of indescribable brilliance.

Li Maozhen understood this glory.

When Li Ye sent her to the Hexi war, she also had this kind of glory in her eyes.

"It seems you already know what I want." Li Maozhen smiled and felt intimate.

"I don't know clearly enough." Shangguan Qingcheng looked at Li Maozhen with a very strong look. This sentence was also very powerful. It seemed that if she didn't use such force, she would not be able to grasp something she had been thinking about day and night.

"Li Ye wants to lead his army out of seclusion and attack the Khitan. I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't expect a more suitable place than starting from Yunzhou, nor did I expect a more suitable candidate than you." Li Maozhen's words did not disappoint Shangguan Qingcheng.

Shangguan Qingcheng followed and said, "Your view is very accurate."

Li Maozhen said: "It's just that there are two more questions."

Shangguan Qingcheng said: "Any problem can be solved."

Li Maozhen shook her head and said, "These two problems are different."

Shangguan Qingcheng was silent and waited for Li Maozhen to continue speaking.

Li Maozhen said: "First, Li Ye understands the pain of bloody battles in your fallen geese mouth. He no longer wants you to continue fighting, he wants you to rest for a while."

Shangguan Qingcheng did not answer the conversation immediately and was quiet for a while.

Then she said, "I have rested for a long time and cannot rest for a longer time. I believe Your Highness understands this."

Li Maozhen looked at the other party's cheeks, which were no longer half a tael, and sighed: "If Li Ye saw you, I'm afraid there would be no reason to disagree with your words."

Shangguan Qingcheng said: "What is the second question?"

Li Maozhen said: "I don't have a single cavalry that can compare to the wolf teeth army..."

Shangguan Qingcheng said: "There are still five thousand cavalry in the Wolf Tooth Army."

"Five thousand riders are not enough."

"If you don't have enough, you'll add it."

"It's not the elite cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army, it may not be easy for you to use it."

"This is not an insurmountable problem for famous generals."

Li Maozhen pondered.

Obviously, Shangguan Qingcheng's intention to fight was decided.

She had already decided to fight.

She has always been determined to fight.

Li Maozhen realized this.

She felt admiration, happy, sad and jealous.

She finally understood why Shangguan Qingcheng, not her, was the one who made a famous general.

As a warrior, the other party is much purer than hers.

Li Maozhen calmed down and said solemnly: "I will allocate 30,000 elite cavalry as soon as possible. There can only be 30,000. If there are more, the movement will be too great."

Shangguan Qingcheng asked: "What is the combat target?"

Li Maozhen said in a state of concentration: "Go to Mobei and do your best to kill all the enemy troops you can."
