He got into the fluffy sleeping bag and listened to the snoring around him, Yelu Chengfeng couldn't sleep. He had been to Boxing, and the prosperity and wealth there were far beyond his imagination. The Siwandan tribe, which was as poor as their tribe, had now turned over. Especially when he saw Yelu Fengze in Boxing, he felt even more ashamed. The two of them had fought naked and smeared cow dung on each other, but now they were like a noble noble who was above him, but he was like a low-ranking sheep slave.

When he followed Yelu Fengze, he decided to make a business of 100,000 yuan with his waves. He watched him chat and laugh with those knowledgeable scholars, talk about the past and present, and when he returned home, his wives and concubines wearing silk and satin surrounded him like stars and moonlight. When he looked at the children with pink makeup and jade pecking around him and calling him father, his envy was beyond words.

Of course, what Yelu Fengze can do, he can do it too.

He has the same noble blood as him and has a similar childhood. He may not be able to achieve what he can achieve today.

Sometimes, an inadvertent choice determines a person's rise, decline, honor and disgrace.

It didn't take long to use the sleeping bag and it became warm. Thinking of his father and his tribe members who were still climbing ice and lying on snow, Yelu Chengfeng felt extremely uncomfortable.

Everything can be changed.

In the future, I and the Siddharma tribe will also live such a life.

He was thinking a lot, and at some point he fell asleep in a daze. He felt that he had just fallen asleep and was slapped heavily. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yelu Qi staring at him with big eyes.

"I'm getting up, I'm about to start."

I was a little ashamed to come out of my sleeping bag, watching the thousands of cavalry were already having breakfast at this time. When I was in Goguryeo, I was extremely alert. A little movement could wake me up from my deep sleep, but in the past two months, my vigilance has obviously decreased.

"Eat quickly!" Yelu Qi stuffed an iron box into his hand. The temperature of the iron box was just right. It was obvious that it had been heated and it had been cold for a while. When he opened the box, the cakes inside had been soaked soft.

"Thank you uncle!" Yelu Chengfeng said with a red face.

"Eat quickly, we have to go at least 80 to 100 miles today." Yelu Qi smiled.

Yelu Chengfeng was stunned, "Uncle, our current location is not that far from Tai'an?"

"We won't go to Tai'an!" Yelu Qi laughed: "We are cavalry, where is Tai'an? The Tianping Army has 20,000 troops stationed. Should we use cavalry to attack the city? Let's go to Feicheng."

"Go to the rear of Tai'an and cut off their return?" Yelu Chengfeng's eyes lit up: "But we only have three thousand cavalry, is it too small?"

"Let's have a meal first, and I'll tell you in detail on the road later!" Yelu Qi waved his hand and walked away on his own.

When the sky was completely bright, three thousand cavalry and six thousand horses set off again in a mighty manner.

Yelu Qi and Yelu Chengfeng walked together.

"A long time ago, I always believed that force was the supreme rule. I would rob it without the food wrapped around my clothes, and I would rob it without the clothes to keep warm. When I encounter someone who is not convinced, I would do it when I go up. Anyway, anyone's knife is fast and whose fists are hard, it makes sense. Even if I touch it again and again, I still haven't changed this." Yelu Qi said.

"Isn't it?" Yelu Chengfeng said strangely. "Uncle, Li Ze and Li Xiang are now powerful. Isn't it just because of his fists and his knife is fast? It is precisely because of this that Li Xiang can beat Zhang Zhongwu and flee in a panic and put them in his bags?"

"Then you haven't thought about why Li Xiang's knife is fast and why his fists are hard?"

Yelu Chengfeng was speechless.

"After so many years, I finally understand that force is just the last means to make a final decision." Yelu Qi said: "Before, politics, economy, people's livelihood, etc., we took multiple measures. By the time the army was dispatched, it was only the last attack. So in front of Li Xiang, the enemies seemed to be so vulnerable. But if it were another person, it would be completely different."

"Uncle, I don't understand very much." Yelu Chengfeng said.

"I will understand slowly." Yelu Qi smiled and said, "Just like this time we marched into Tai'an, why did I dare to go around such a big circle to attack Feicheng? You also saw that we didn't even have logistics, and there were no reinforcements. I even brought dry food for a few days."

"I thought..."

"Do you think we are still the same old tricks as before. Wherever we go, wherever we grab, and to support the war?" Yelu Qi said.

"Yes."

"You are wrong." Yelu Qi shook his head and said, "Tai'an is already a ripe fruit. The army's dispatch was just to complete the last blow and pick this fruit. Didn't you notice why the Tianping Army's army only huddled in the city and dared not go out to meet us?"

"Fighting in the wild, they are vulnerable."

"You are wrong again." Yelu Qi said: "The Tianping Army is not as vulnerable as you imagined, and Cao Xuan is not an incompetent person. Although he was defeated by us in the battle of Luzhou, he gained wisdom from his mistakes. After being released, the Tianping Army reorganized by Cao Xuan was only stronger than before. In Tai'an City, 10,000 Tianping Army and other auxiliary soldiers were assembled, of which 5,000 cavalrymen were 5,000."

"Then why would they rather be so passive if they don't go out of the city to fight us?" Yelu Chengfeng said in confusion: "Their generals stationed in Tai'an are too useless?"

"They can't leave the city!" Yelu Qi smiled and said, "Tai'an was originally Pinglu, but later taken down by Zhu Youzhen. Do you know who was the one who pacified Tai'an in a short time, settled more than 100,000 refugees, and operated Tai'an into the base camp for Zhu Youzhen to develop to the south in a year?"

Yelu Chengfeng was stunned.

"This person is called Xu Xiang, and he is one of the best graduates of the first phase of Wuwei Academy." Yelu Qi said slowly, "A few years ago, he was sent to Tai'an."

In fact, when he first learned about this, Yelu Qi himself was also shocked. This was the key to reversing the situation in the south for the Tang Dynasty, and it was a fatal blow for Zhu Youzhen. In the end, Zhu Youyu launched the Chang'an mutiny, killed his own son and then ascended the throne and became emperor, which caused internal strife between the Zhu brothers, which was even more unpredictable.

And now, Yelu Chengfeng also opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"At that time, Xu Xiang was the prefect of Tai'an." Yelu Qi sighed and said, "Can you imagine how many of his own people Xu Xiang arranged in Tai'an that year? All the things he did in Tai'an were made by Li Xiang in the north. Villages and towns, villages and villages were naturally our allies. I don't want logistics, so I only brought three days of food because I could get the supplements I wanted in Tai'an anytime, anywhere, and someone had already prepared them for us."

Yelu Qi patted his leather bag and said, "Tomorrow, we will receive three more big cakes each."

"No wonder they dare not leave the city? Are there people in the city also?"

"Natural." Yelu Qi said lightly: "Although our power in the city is not as big as the countryside, it is actually quite a lot of land. In addition to the 10,000 Tianping Army, among the remaining 10,000 people, there are quite a few Tai'an locals, among which Pinglu moved to the world. They cannot tell who our people are, but they cannot leave the help of these people. What do you think they can do? The army can still suppress and intimidate in the city. Once they leave the city, they cannot get help. Once the city goes back and forth, what should they do? It's cold and cold, and this city is so cold that it's so scary that it's so hard to get away from it."

"Since it's so difficult, why didn't Cao Xuan simply give up Tai'an and withdraw the balance?" Yelu Chengfeng was puzzled: "Wouldn't it be even more difficult to hang it up or down like this?"

"Because the incident happened suddenly, Cao Xuan had no choice. In his vision, once we launched an attack on the balance, Xuanwu, Zhongwu and Luoyang could support him. Even Gunhai could attack Pinglu to restrain our army. He never expected that before we could fight, they would start working inside themselves. Zhu Youzhen gathered troops from Xuanwu, Luoyang and other places to attack Zhu Youyu in Chang'an. He became a lonely man and needed to deal with our attacks alone. Therefore, Tai'an could not give up so quickly. Even if it was just a lonely Tai'an city, he had to persist until the end to get him enough time. Whether it was a decision to fight us to the death on the balance, or to preserve his strength and give up the balance, he needed time to prepare."

"So Tai'an is an abandoned son!"

"We know, Cao Xuan also knows, but Tai'an's balance army may not necessarily know." Yelu Qi smiled and said, "So, we took Feicheng by detour and Li De went back to take Qufu to cut off Tai'an's retreat. After we completed the attack on these two places, General Liu's main force will also arrive in Tai'an. At this time, it is questionable how much combat power Tai'an, who is the turtle in the middle, still has."

"I see."

"Next, our two cavalry will go straight to Dongping and join forces with Tian Ping from the Right Jinwu Guard to attack Dongping. This is Cao Xuan's old nest. If Cao Xuan can block Cao Xuan in Dongping, everyone will be happy."

"This is going to overturn a town, that's that simple?"
