Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 223 Turned out to be a confidant of the saint

Li Yuan blamed it, and Liu Mu immediately explained:

"Saint, that's not a clairvoyance, it's just a toy. You old man forgot that when you're watching a football game, that thing is only for watching the game, and it can't see far."

Li Yuan thought for a while, it seemed to be the same as what Liu Mu said.

The small telescope seemed precious, but it was of little practical use.Just like the one that Liu Mu gave to Qin Qiong at first glance, it is amazing at first glance, but after careful consideration, it is not very practical, not to mention bulky, but only the viewing distance, the practicality of increasing the viewing distance is not great .

"Saint, the real clairvoyant has sixteen lenses, eight of which are very clear mirrors made of silver and glass, and then there are three front and one rear lenses on both sides. It takes half a month to polish each lens. And the success rate is extremely low, so far, there is not a single semi-finished product."

Willow explained again.

Li Yuan doesn't understand these complicated principles. He only knows that people with good eyesight can see figures about four to five miles away in the wilderness when the weather is good, and what Liumu has to do is to magnify this distance by five times. , or even ten times and fifteen times.

That is, people can be seen from twenty to thirty miles away.

"Very good, where did this spell come from?" Li Yuan asked purely out of curiosity.

"Saint, it's Taoist astrology."

"Okay." Li Yuan didn't ask any more, he thought that the way to see the stars must be a good way, how far away are the stars.

Qin Qiong stood aside, not knowing why he stayed here, and not knowing what to say at this time.

At this time, Li Yuan brought the subject back: "Xiaomu, what are you going to do in the next negotiation?"

"Nonsense, anyway, it's just delaying time. After three or five days, there will be a result in Daizhou. I don't know what will happen here. Will there be a big battle, or something else?"

Qin Qiong took a step forward: "I have already assembled the army to prepare for war. The war in Daizhou is over. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, I will fight Jieli to the death."

Li Yuan shook his head: "Let's talk first. Discuss the matter later."

Li Yuan lacked confidence, because the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty were not particularly stable, Jiangnan had just been pacified, and there were countless foreign enemies.So Li Yuan was afraid, afraid that the loss in this battle would be too high, and he would only have such a small fortune in his hands.

"Xiao Mu, I'm asking you. How many enemies do we have in Tang Dynasty?" Li Yuan was testing Liu Mu.

Liu Mu didn't even think about it, and took a step forward: "Sage, our enemies include the Eastern and Western Turks, Tuyuhun, and then the Turks who are currently driving Xue Yantuo, Khitan, Shiwei, Mohe, Huihe, Xi, Tiele, Gaochang, Shule, Bolu, Qiang, and Qiuci."

"En." Li Yuan nodded approvingly.

Liu Mu said again: "To the east, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are not good birds. To the south is more dangerous, where the Lingnan area is not the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and Feng An was granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, but so what? The small country keeps going north, encroaching on the territory of our Tang Dynasty, and Tupan is on the side, so that the land of Shu in the Tang Dynasty is always threatened."

"good very good."

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, there were not many people who could read and write, and even fewer were talented in reading.

Li Yuan dared not say that all the officials in his court could do the same for all the big and small countries around the Tang Dynasty in one breath.

"Then I'll ask you again, can you fight?"

"I don't understand, I want to ask Lord Yi."

"Ask." After Li Yuan agreed, Liu Mu asked Qin Qiong: "Mr. Yi, the Turkic people are ready to fight head-on. If Tang wins, what is the winning rate and how much is the loss?"

Qin Qiong had obviously thought about it a long time ago, but he didn't answer to Liu Mu, but to Tang Emperor Li Yuan.

"Saint, if the war in Daizhou is over, I think it will be [-]% casualties. The army's spirit can be fought, and our soldiers and horses will be gathered together, and then Chai's son-in-law will go north to join the attack. I think there will be [-] casualties."

"One hundred thousand. How much is one hundred thousand lives worth?" Liu Mu was anxious.

"Shut up, how dare you make noise before asking questions." Qin Qiong hurriedly stopped Liu Mu.

"One hundred thousand is not much." Li Yuan said: "If the battle damage is less than 15, I think we can fight."

Liu Mu's face was flushed, he was holding back, he wanted to speak but dared not speak after being yelled at by Qin Qiong.

On the contrary, Li Yuan cherished Liu Mu very much, and said to Liu Mu, "Xiaomu, war damage is not death in battle. Among the war damage, there are people who died in battle, and there are also five types of damage: disabled, heavy, delayed war, and no war."

Liu Mu didn't understand, he knew about disability and severity, but what did it mean to delay the fight or not to fight.

Qin Qiong explained to Liu Mu: "A slow war means that you can go to the battlefield again within three days. This is a minor injury. If you don't fight, you can recover, but this battle is impossible. Serious injuries mean that you need to recover for at least three months. The above are those who are in good health, but who will continue to fight hard. In this category, half of them leave the army, [-] return to the battalion, and [-]% are transferred to the old and weak battalion."

After explaining these, Qin Qiong gave Liu Mu another number: "In this battle, the number of injuries, serious injuries, and disabilities is about [-], but we must win."

"What if Jieli escaped?" Liu Mu asked back.

"This, it's hard to say." Qin Qiong never thought that Xieli would escape, but only wanted to break one of Xieli's arms in this battle, killing at least one hundred thousand enemies.

Liu Mu was still tied, but straightened his chest: "I think it's better not to fight."

"You Daming." Qin Qiong stopped Liu Mu again.

Liu Mu's position is only a fifth-rank officer, so what qualifications does he have to speak strategically about the war here.

Li Yuan smiled and waved his hands: "Xiao Mu, go down and rest, you are still young."

Liu Mu wanted to say something more, but Qin Qiong stared at him and almost covered his mouth with his hands.

Liu Mu came out from outside the big tent, and everyone saw the grief and indignation on Liu Mu's face.In the tent, Peng Hai, who was silent from the beginning to the end, also came out, and shouted loudly: "Holy decree, Qin Wangfu's office will join the military willows, which will lose the national prestige, and temporarily remember that the staff will listen to the [-]th army today. Grounded."

After Peng Hai shouted, the guards untied Liu Mu's rope and sent Liu Mu back to Liu Mu's tent.

After returning to the tent, Liu Mu knew what the punishment was.

It is to suspend the sentence of twenty strokes of the military stick, and then continue to obey the call before the army. If you do well, you will be exempted, and if you do not do well, you will be doubled after the battle.

Liu Mu sat down angrily, and told Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang in turn comforted Liu Mu: "The Turks now have almost 40 soldiers and horses. To be undefeated this time, Duke Yi has already done a great job. The loss of [-] in the battle Not much."

"One hundred thousand." Liu Mu repeated the number.

"Not much, 15 is my estimate." Su Dingfang had also observed the Turkic lineup, so he had a good idea.

Dugu Shura is a brave general and doesn't know much about the art of war, but based on his experience, he thinks that one hundred thousand is not much.

"Fuck." Liu Mu cursed bitterly.

But Liu Mu couldn't help it. This was an ancient war, relying on fighting the number of people and relying on the survival rate.
