Fatty Bu followed Zhang Yi's instructions and did not stop or leave any traces in Zhangjiazhuang.

Zhang Yi did not want outsiders to know that this industry belongs to him because he knew the importance of the future of this industry. His cattle farm will become a monopoly in the meat and livestock industry in the future.

Food is the most important thing for people, and food safety is the top priority at all times. If Li Er really wants to do anything to him, or if Li Er is too oppressed, Zhang Yi doesn't mind making the world go bad again.

Once his cattle farm expands, the meat supply in the entire Guanzhong area will not be able to escape from his palms. At that time, who can escape from Guanzhong who eat his Zhang beef every day?

He could completely hold the lives of these people tightly in his hands.

Don’t mention that the ingredients used in the palace are all tested after testing. That thing is useless to Zhang Yi at all. As he said before, those guards used silver needles to test poison. Although they have certain effects, Zhang Yi has at least ten ways to avoid this test well, so these are not problems at all.

In this era when imperial power is supreme, the king must die if his ministers die. And now Zhang Yi is thinking about being targeted by Li Er in this way. Maybe he asked him to do something again that day. If he didn't obey at that time, he might have to make some small moves again.

The so-called Zhang Yi directly used this as a countermeasure to deal with the crisis that would come at any time.

It is estimated that no one in Chang'an, or even the entire Tang Dynasty, has this vision and knows that this method can be used to protect themselves.

In the eyes of outsiders, such a cattle farm is for profit, and at most it can provide a large amount of meat to the Guanzhong area. It is a benefit for the people, especially those rich and powerful families, and I really can't imagine anything else.

Merchants put profit first, but who knew that Zhang Yi, a hidden businessman, would have such a scheming and could calculate so far.

However, Zhang Yi would definitely ruin this idea in his heart. Even if he was Fatty Bu, he would not say that even if he really came to that point that day, he would have to do this kind of thing himself.

And now, he was waiting for Fatty Bu to help him get his cattle farm started. In other aspects, Fatty Bu was also handling it.

Zhang Yi's business empire is gradually taking shape. Even if the status of a noble person is deprived of by Li Er, the energy in his hands should not be underestimated.

Looking at the figure of Fatty Bu walking out slowly, Zhang Yi also stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

If you have done some major issues in your heart, you have to treat yourself well. During this period, I should indeed make up for it.

Zhang Yi walked towards the kitchen leisurely, and at this time, Xue Li, who was in the northeast, was also walking towards the capital of Goguryeo.

After a period of fierce battle, the Tang army finally defeated the elite Goguryeo unit that rushed back from Silla Xingye to help.

That unit was already the only elite troops left in Goguryeo. As soon as that unit was defeated, the Goguryeo people immediately hit all their forces to defend the capital.

No matter how Tang Jun insulted them, they just stayed in the city and didn't come out.

Now, the Goguryeo people concentrated all their strength in the city and stood firm to wait for the Tang army's attack.

Xue Li did not advocate a strong attack, so he has been checking around the capital of Goguryeo these days to see what breakthrough he could find.

Now according to their estimates, there are more than 10,000 to 20,000 regular troops in the capital of Goguryeo. As for those miscellaneous soldiers and the strong men they captured to make up for, there are probably 40,000 to 50,000 people, and the total number is still 60,000 to 70,000. If the Tang army attacks for a strong force, it will still cost a considerable price.

The Tang army that fought the Eastern Expedition of 60,000, even if Xue Li's 6,000 vanguard army had only 66,000 people.

Moreover, after several wars, the Tang army also suffered considerable losses, especially Xue Li's vanguard army. Although they killed less than 40,000 enemies, they also suffered more than half of the damage, and now there are only more than 2,000 people left.

The main force of the Tang army, plus Xue Li's vanguard army, is now only more than 30,000 people less than 40,000.

Although in terms of combat effectiveness alone, these more than 30,000 Tang soldiers were able to defeat the 60,000 to 70,000 people in the Goguryeo capital, but the number was here. Although there were a lot of miscellaneous soldiers in the Goguryeo capital, they still had a considerable threat to them, plus some of the equipment to defend the city.

One of the major advantages of the Tang army now is their thermal weapons, and Xue Li also wants to use these thermal weapons to open up the situation.

However, things like gunpowder bullets are almost the same as when both sides fight, but now, unless they are willing to pay a little price, gunpowder bullets will not work.

Xue Li also asked someone to try it, but as soon as their people rushed to the bottom of the Goguryeo capital and entered the attack range of their crossbow arrows, they would attack desperately and it would be difficult to get close.

After so many years of operation, the capital of the Goguryeo Kingdom was as solid as a sacred place, and there would be no shortage of various materials in the capital. Even if the Tang army surrounded them for a year or two, they might not have lost food.

This is also the headache for Xue Li.

They had gunpowder bullets, but they couldn't use them. They couldn't throw them that far away. When they wanted to get closer, they had to be shot back by the Goguryeo people with crossbow arrows.

This situation is very embarrassing. If this stalemate continues, the disadvantage is the Tang army. Their logistics supplies are not like those of the Goguryeo people. The Tang army is now fighting away, and all the supplies have to be transported from the rear. Even if some supplies can be seized from the Goguryeo army, the main cost of the army still depends on their own supplies.

If you spend this for a long time, you will be able to fight for money.

Although the Tang Dynasty is not short of money now, the Tang Dynasty, which had just entered its prosperous era, did not have that much money to spend for them.

So Xue Li had to come up with a better solution, which was a headache for him.

Next, the Tang army tried to attack several times, but it was not very useful except turning the healthy Tang army soldiers into wounded soldiers or corpses.

And at this time, Li Er even gave the front line a death order, and the battle must be resolved within three months.

Three months, it will be the end of the year.

At this time, autumn was already coming, and in the Goguryeo area, the temperature had begun to drop. If they could not resolve the battle earlier, if there was heavy snow, they would almost be able to fight.

It’s not good to retreat at that time, and it’s not good not to retreat. That’s the hardest way to make a decision.

And if they were unable to conquer the Goguryeo Kingdom by the end of the year, then the Goguryeo people could recover after a winter rest. By the beginning of the next year, the resistance of the Tang army would be greater when they attacked them.

In short, the earlier they were taken, the smaller the price the Tang army paid, and the later they were taken, the higher the price. If the Tang army could not take over the capital of Goguryeo after this winter, then whether they could still take over the next year would be different.

Xue Li thought about the current situation, and she was really big.

There is no way, I can only send a letter back to Chang'an to ask Zhang Yi for advice.
