It was only natural that Li Shimin would be so shocked.
Li Shimin had read more books on the art of war than anyone else.
After all, his title as the King of Qin had not come out of thin air. It had been won through battle after battle. But today, Zhang Feng's unprecedented strategy left Li Shimin rather shocked.
He was very clear about the military story of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao. However, at this moment, Zhang Feng had given him a whole new level of understanding.
Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder if all the books on the art of war he had studied were fake.
Otherwise, how could he not understand something so simple that could be solved with a different way of thinking?
"Fengzi, just what are you thinking? Why can't I think of such a simple thing? But there's one thing I still don't understand. You've said so much, but what if the Turks haven't mobilized all their forces? Or perhaps they've already predicted Qiuci City? After all, the Turks are said to have an army of one million. "
"One million? And an army? "
Zhang Feng faintly smiled. "Have you forgotten what you did to the Turks? You've already bought all their horses. Do you think they can still muster an army of one million?
"It's already a miracle that they can muster three hundred thousand horsemen, and you still expect them to have one million? The one million they said was just a bluff. They can't even muster five hundred thousand!
"Moreover, the Turks are probably probing. If the Tang Dynasty really falls for their trap, then the Tang Dynasty will be in danger!
"Thus, the Turks are gambling. Either they win and drink wine in Chang 'an, or they lose and hide in the steppe. Do you understand now?
"But if we penetrate through Qiuci City, we'll be cutting off this group of people's connection with the Turks. Moreover, if we spread out all the spies we've planted along the way and work with the Tibetan army, even if they have two hundred thousand soldiers, do you think they'll be a match for us in a long-distance raid?"
"Let's talk about something else. The Turks are good at fighting on the plains, but the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are suited to all kinds of environments. The current environment is more favorable for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. So, what do you think will happen if we send our troops?"
In Li Shimin's eyes, there was only deep shock left.
Besieging Wei to rescue Zhao. This was not besieging Wei to rescue Zhao. This was killing two birds with one stone!
Not only could they solve Zhenla's predicament and force the Indians to return, but they would also be able to encircle and annihilate the Turks in Qiuci City.
This …
Li Shimin murmured, "Fengzi, are you talking about the military science you talked about before?"
Zhang Feng took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Yes, this is only a small part of military science. It's also called military analysis."
Military analysis?
A small part?
This is called a small part?
Li Shimin was speechless.
But he still asked, "Then, what is this tactic called?"
"What is it called?"
Zhang Feng thought for a while and said, "It's called Deep Battle."
This kind of thing was basically known to anyone who had watched TV. However, the people of this era did not know anything about tactics, let alone TV. They only knew how to dive headfirst into it. At most, they would know how to arrange the troops. Who could understand this kind of thing?
But what was this?
This was something that the martyrs had summed up in war after war.
But for Li Shimin, this was something incredible. How could he understand these things?
He could not help but ask, "What is Deep Battle?"
"…"
Zhang Feng was speechless.
"Well, it's hard to explain in a few words. But don't worry. As long as the emperor is not stupid, your property will be saved this time. So, don't worry, don't panic. Just wait calmly."
Seeing that Zhang Feng was unwilling to talk about it,
A hint of disappointment flashed through Li Shimin's eyes. However, he rolled his eyes and said, "Although what you said does make sense, and perhaps His Majesty also arranged it this way, after all, I have too many people under my command. In addition to the complexity of this war, it is inevitable that some stray soldiers will covet our things, so …"
"What are you going to say?"
Zhang Feng's ears instantly pricked up.
He was still brooding about the wine last time. At this time, Li Shimin's words instantly made Zhang Feng extremely vigilant.
"Don't expect to get a penny from me. Let me tell you, I have nothing but a set of clothes now. I've put them all on for you. If you want anything, don't say it. You won't get it even if you say it!"
"Boy, what kind of person do you think I am? Is it necessary? But this time, I really have something to ask you. "
"Stop talking. I don't want to listen. I can't hear you. I have something to do. I'm leaving!"
Zhang Feng was furious and hurried to slip away.
Li Shimin pulled Zhang Feng back. After a long time, Zhang Feng was finally willing to sit down and listen to him.
"In fact, it's nothing. Didn't Old Yu say some time ago? Get some guards to guard the place in Tubo and other properties? We have people, but we don't have suitable weapons. Look at your spear that can break everything. Can you … "
"No!"
"Goodbye, I won't see you out!"
"…"
