Don't be a prince

Fortunately, although the emperor was seriously injured, he was rescued anyway.Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that Daoist Sun was already on the way.

Showing the memorial in his hand to Fang Xuanling, after Fang Xuanling read it, he danced for a while.

This is good, this is good.The emperor is still alive, which is already a blessing in misfortune.

However, just when the two were about to choose to announce the news, another person ran over outside the door, with two dark circles under his eyes, no different from a panda.

Liu Mang!

Li Chengqian didn't know that this idiot traveled day and night, and didn't stop to sleep until he was too sleepy. When he woke up, he stuffed something into his mouth and continued on his way. rush.

Seeing Liu Mang's appearance, Li Chengqian's heart skipped a beat.

But soon, the rapper said something that made him feel relieved:

"His Royal Highness, I ran fast enough to catch up with Hongling Jishi, that is, those newcomers outside the door didn't know me well, and it took me a long time to let me in, otherwise I would be faster than Hongling Jishi."

After finishing speaking, Liu Mang took out the Chuan Guo Yuxi from his bosom, handed it to Li Chengqian, and repeated the emperor's words.

After listening to Liu Mang's recitation, Li Chengqian's face was darkened.Good guy, although he was injured, but the emperor's father is going to be the shopkeeper again this time.

but....

It feels good to be completely trusted.Holding the Chuan Guo Yuxi in his hand, Li Chengqian suddenly felt that his confidence had reached its peak.With this jade seal in his hand, he, the prince, is really no different from the emperor.

Looking at Fang Xuanling, Li Chengqian said: "The feudal lords from all over the world are still entering the capital. In addition, Zhao Zian, the left servant of the military department, and Dugu Bo, the left servant of the household department, are here to send the second wave of supplies to the border. A little earlier, there are no disadvantages."

The emperor was fine, and the crown prince got the emperor's platform, which greatly boosted Fang Xuanling's confidence. After bowing his hands and saluting, he turned and left.

Koryo - Guchengtou Mountain

After the army of Zhang Jian and Li Ji conquered various gates one after another, it was here that they finally encountered the siege of the Northwest Army of Goryeo and the coalition forces of Shiwei, Mohe, Kumoxi, Khitan, and Baiyu.

The weather was cold, and the generals of Koryo proposed to encircle but not attack, and the Tang army broke up on its own, which was approved by all the generals.In their view, the people of Tang did not choose to retreat, but embraced the mountains and defended themselves. This is courting death.In terms of military tactics, if such a terrain is besieged, it is not far from destruction.

However, what the besieging army at the foot of the mountain didn't know was that the Tang army on the mountain was also happy and leisurely. When the soldiers were clearing the snow in the camp, they even had the mood to build a snowman and come out to have fun.

Lying in the extremely hot tent, Li Ji couldn't help giving Zhang Jian a thumbs up: "You are an expert in Liaodong, you know that there are coal mines on this mountain, and as for the water, the snow will solve it. Let's eat early I hoarded here three months ago, let alone winter, it doesn’t matter if I look down the mountain and plant another year.”

Zhang Jian said with a smile: "Korean people are as stupid as pigs. They suffer from cold every year, but they don't know how to keep warm. The Korean envoys have been stealing from our Tang Dynasty for many years, but they didn't even learn the most precious thing, the coal stove. What a shame. madness."

Li Ji smiled, opened the heavy curtain of the tent, walked to the side of the mountain, looked at it with a telescope for a while, then hurried back to the tent, and said to Zhang Jian: "I see that many Koreans at the foot of the mountain are dancing around the fire. Could it be a war dance, are they going to attack the mountain?"

Zhang Jian said helplessly: "What are they going to do to attack the woolen mountain? Nothing else, let's shout a few times, and the snow on the mountain will turn into an avalanche, which is enough for them to drink a pot. I guess, they are now besieged Let's be complacent. As everyone knows, we don't know how comfortable we are on the mountain, as long as we pull them, it's a great achievement."

Although he said so, Zhang Jian still walked to the edge of the cliff and took a look through the binoculars.

When he fully figured out what the Koreans were doing, he burst out laughing.

Li Ji looked at him without knowing it, full of doubts.

"That's not a war dance. It's too cold to jump around to keep warm. The problem is that the fire is so big, and they can only take turns to enjoy it. Come on, don't look at it, we spent a day, and they froze to death Just a little more, even if they carry it over, I don't believe they will still be our opponents in the spring of next year, even if they have a little more people.

Come, come, come and help me draw a map of the coal mine.The Koreans have occupied the four counties of Lelang for many years, and they don't even know that there are many treasures here. "

With the falling of the door curtain, the tent will soon be as warm as spring again...

(The scene is fabricated. I only found out that there are a large number of open-pit coal mines in South Pyongan Province in North Korea, but I don’t know where it is, so I made it up)

At the same time, Zhang Liang and Li Xiaogong were eating hot pot in the temporary tent at the top of Beisha City.

The offensives of Goryeo and Silla Baekje were indeed ferocious at the beginning, but when tens of thousands of corpses piled up under the city, they had to give up and besieged Beisa City instead, intending to wait for Beisa City to collapse without attack.

It's just that they don't know that the supplies that the hot air balloons dropped into Beisha City have now filled up two large warehouses. In addition to the food that Beisha City originally hoarded, at least until next summer, there will be no problems.

However, Zhang Liang and Li Xiaogong never worried about the follow-up supply of Beisha City.Although it is very cold now and the hot air balloon is not convenient for transportation, so only one trip is sent, but when the weather is better in the coming year, it can be sent again.Whether it is weapons, medicine or food, there is no need to worry.

Throwing a handful of green vegetables into the pot, Zhang Liang curled his lips and said, "It's not good because of the cold weather. It's rare to send us some green vegetables, and they're freezing."

Li Xiaogong scolded with a smile: "Pull you down, if the generals of Silla Baekje and Goryeo outside the city hear this, they will be pissed off. Didn't you see that their transportation was suffering, and the soldiers were hungry enough to eat bark? It is a sin to have green vegetables to eat in a foreign country or in the army in cold weather, after returning to Chang'an, this old man will have to go to the Temple of Mercy to recite scriptures."

Zhang Liang also laughed.

After a battle to defend the city, Beisha City lost a lot, reaching more than 3000.However, compared with tens of thousands of enemies destroyed, more than 3000 casualties are completely acceptable.

Seeing that the general behind him was almost drooling, Li Xiaogong handed the bowl and chopsticks to the general after eating a few mouthfuls, picked up a big teapot, grabbed a handful of beef jerky, and went to inspect the city defense.

Seeing Li Xiaogong go out, Zhang Liang followed suit and followed suit.

In the cold winter weather, it is absolutely uncomfortable to be guarded outside.Therefore, when Li Xiaogong and Zhang Liang saw a soldier guarding the city, they would personally pour a cup of hot tea for the soldier and give him a piece of beef jerky.

It was sent all the way to Dongcheng. When a young soldier took the beef jerky, happily stuffed it into his mouth and took a few bites, he said aggrievedly: "Boss, deputy chief, tell me about the cook, good beef jerky, what are you doing?" Want to chop it up for stew? It doesn’t taste as good as the original one.”

Li Xiaogong slapped the young soldier on the back of the head, and said speechlessly: "It's cold, it's good for your health to eat more warm meals. Are you tired of the stew? See those soldiers from Silla and Baekje outside the city." Is it already? Their food cannot be transported, and the food from Goryeo is not given to them, so they are so hungry that they gnaw on the bark of the tree."

The young soldier said helplessly: "Who told them to rebel? If they help us deal with Korea, wouldn't they be able to eat meat?"

Zhang Liang and Li Xiaogong laughed loudly, patted the young soldier on the shoulder and said, "That makes sense, haha!"

Chapter 511 The Reinforcement Arrives

After delivering hot tea and beef jerky to the soldiers on duty, Zhang Liang and Li Xiaogong returned to the commander's tent in the city.

Here, on a sand table, the terrain around Beisha City is clearly constructed.Because of the existence of this sand table, other than the two of them, Shuai Zhang would never allow a third person to enter.

After lighting up the stove in the handsome tent, Zhang Liang went to the sand table, pointed to the woods outside the city and said to Li Xiaogong: "When the hot air balloon was resupplying supplies, I took a look at the situation here. This forest is mostly pine wood. Pine wood has oil , even if they are all green, as long as the fire is big enough, they can still burn.”

After calculating the area of ​​the pine forest, Li Xiaogong said, "Are you planning to set fire?"

Zhang Liang laughed and said: "Yes, it is to set fire. I found out that as long as there is this pine forest, the Korean people will have no problem heating. If it is burned, hunger and cold go hand in hand. We only need to drag them out." Wear down."

"However, if this pine forest is burned, there will be a second one. Although the road is blocked by heavy snow now, if the Koreans are more ruthless, they can still use civilian husbands to deliver supplies."

"Getting rid of their heating method is just one of them. The most important point is, didn't you find that the equipment they used to attack the city before were all made of pine wood? With this pine forest, they can use local materials. In addition, as long as We can cause trouble for the enemy, and whatever trouble it is, it is to our advantage."

Looking at the distance, Li Xiaogong asked suspiciously: "What are you going to do? Send death squads out of the city?"

Zhang Liang wondered: "Our soldiers are treasures, you are willing to part with me, but I am not. Let me figure it out, all the ropes in our city can almost reach the middle of this forest. There are hot air balloons, and the winter wind blows just that way, as long as we pull the hot air balloons with ropes and let the hot air balloons throw fire."

Li Xiaogong closed his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he immediately opened his eyes: "Now I finally understand why His Majesty appointed you as the general manager. I am the king of Hejian, so I can only be the deputy general manager. It turns out that I don't have you after all. Clever, not as bad as you!"

Zhang Liang laughed loudly, patted Li Xiaogong on the shoulder and said, "You also have something I need to learn. This idea came about because I took advantage of being familiar with hot air balloons and Molotov cocktails."

Li Xiaogong stood up and said with a smile: "Then do it, it's so boring to grow fat in this city!"

In this way, the two old urchins began to plan one bad thing after another.

East China Sea - Suzhou waters

The weather is getting colder, and the borders in many places have to suspend the fighting, from intense to stalemate, or even to a truce.However, the East China Sea is different.Du Mingze set up the command tent in Suzhou after he was appointed the general manager of the Tōkaidō March.

In his opinion, Suzhou would be the most dangerous coast if the Japanese wanted to invade the Tang Dynasty.Because, since the route was confirmed, the Japanese envoys have come ashore from Suzhou many times.

Facts have proved that his guess is correct, the Wa people did appear in the waters of Suzhou.

but....

Before the battle started, Tang Jun was completely discouraged.

Originally looking forward to a big battle, the warships dispatched from various state capitals alone formed a luxury fleet of [-] ships.However, there were only five ships from the Japanese country across the sea; the Tang army officers and soldiers all had bright armor and sharp weapons, but only a few of the soldiers of the Japanese country wore tattered iron armor, and most of them only wore armor made of bamboo pieces. The bamboo armor; Tang Jun recharged his energy and waited for work with leisure.

Is this fucking enemy coming to attack?Isn't it a refugee who came to flee famine?

Thus, the battle began.

So, the battle is over.

All five Japanese ships were destroyed. More than [-] Japanese soldiers were drowned, [-] were beheaded, and [-] were captured.

Although he has been comforting himself that this is only the vanguard of the Wa Kingdom, there will be more in the future, but Du Mingze, who has been waiting until the winter is approaching and has not waited for the next wave, wants to cry but has no tears.

The whole world attacks Tang!In the end, I became a general manager, so I just got this record?

So, he went up and asked the court to send him to support Feng An in the South China Sea.

It didn't take long for the court's approval to come down.

Du Mingze laughed loudly after receiving the document, hugged his lieutenant general, and jumped up and down excitedly.

The deputy general didn't understand very much, and asked in confusion: "Director, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees with you to go south to support?"

Du Mingze shook his head: "No, but His Royal Highness asked us to counter-attack the Wa Kingdom, and allowed us to recruit soldiers along the coast and gather [-] troops. Moreover, the imperial court's supplies have already started to be shipped, and I believe they will be delivered soon. Hahaha , Immediately recruit soldiers! Immediately train, and next year, let’s go to the hometown of the Japanese people to have fun!”

"promise!"

The deputy general agreed loudly, trembling with excitement.

How about playing easily?Unlike other places, they were the first to be allowed to counterattack the Wa Kingdom!

South China Sea - Gaozhou

The north is different. There is no saying that the war in the south has stopped because of the weather.There are many storms in summer, but autumn and winter are the most suitable for sailing operations.

Feng An's handsome tent was set up by the sea.Seeing the pitch-black warships being forced to return to the port for maintenance, Feng An was very puzzled, and specially called the captain to inquire about the situation.

The captain has already died in battle, and the deputy captain came to report to Shuai Zhang.

Seeing the smoldering look on the deputy captain's face, Feng An asked in confusion: "What's going on? Looking at you, why do you look like you were dealt with by a Molotov cocktail?"

The deputy captain knelt down on one knee, and said helplessly: "Report to the chief, the enemy did use Molotov cocktails. For some reason, the big cannibals also have Molotov cocktails, and they also know how to refine oil, although the purity is not comparable to ours. , but the power is still astonishing. We have limited Molotov cocktails on board, but they have a lot more.

They have a lot of ships, which are cargo ships that specialize in transporting Molotov cocktails.We were careless for a while, and we were caught by the cannibal's trick. This batch of warships was not the only one of our ships that was damaged. "

Remembering what the prince once said, there are more things like oil in big cannibals, Feng An felt extremely helpless.

There are so many good things that there is no place to use them. After repeated explorations by Datang, only a few oil fields have been found, and the production is not high. It is really incomparable!

but....

Feng An patted the table, and said to the vice-captain: "Go back and rest, change to a better ship and fight again. Since the big cannibal has a lot of oil, one day it will become ours!"

Infected by Feng An's tone, the deputy captain backed away after making a promise.

Looking at the wide sea in front of him, Feng Ang felt sad for a while.After all, he is old. If it had been a few years earlier, he would have gone to sea with the boat no matter what.I have encountered this bloody battle in my life, and I can't participate because I am too old, really...

Looking at the busy young people outside the camp, Feng An's eyes were full of envy.

Longyou Road - Songzhou

Songzhou is now gradually truce, not because of the weather, but because of the Songzhou city, a slope of Tibetan corpses has been piled up high.And this slope is not even half the height of Songzhou City Wall.

Nearly [-] damage!

On Songzhou City, Yu Chigong, who hadn't ushered in the enemy's attack for three days in a row, did not slack off in the slightest, but was still diligently patrolling the city defense.

This was the first time he fought against the Tubo people, so he did not hesitate to go to some marquis' mansions who had guarded Songzhou for advice in person.

After various arrangements, different people have different views on Songzhou's defense, but when it comes to the Tubo people, they all smile bitterly without exception.

The Tubo people are too fierce!

Born on the highlands, fighting against the sky and the earth has created the strong character of this nation.Their soldiers seem to never know what death is. As long as an attack is ordered, even if there is only one person left in the whole army, they will stubbornly continue to attack.

The corpses under Songzhou City also came from this.

However, although the Tubo people are strong and fierce, they are not stupid.Seeing that under the violent attack, there is still no achievement, nearly 10 people have been lost, and there is still not much result. If they persist, it is very likely that 30 troops will be lost here, so Tubo can only choose to retreat.

Places at high altitudes are naturally cold, and soon all the corpses below the city were frozen into lumps of ice.

Seeing the general looking at the corpses under the city, Guo Shuai looked down suspiciously, and asked, "General, what are you doing looking at these corpses? But do you think it's an eyesore? Why don't you lead someone to clear them all?"

Yu Chigong shook his head: "Just spread it out, there is no need to move it away. The existence of these corpses can also let the Tibetans know that this is not a place for them to pass through. Looking at these corpses, the old man remembered the Battle of Luoyang and the Hulao Close the war.

At the beginning, we didn’t have weapons like gunpowder. There were two eight-ox crossbows in the whole army, and they were still used to shoot arrows on the city wall for soldiers to climb.Killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating one hundred, this is the record of defending the city.And if you want to win a city, you will often even pay more troops than the troops in the city.

And now?Our military strength is only over 3, and they are 30. In the past, our city must have been destroyed, but the result now is that they died close to [-], while we suffered very little damage.Times have changed! "

Guo Shuai smiled and said, "This is not a good thing, General."

Glancing at Guo Shuai, remembering his proposal to plant gunpowder in front of the city, Yu Chigong knew that as an older generation general, it was time to end the curtain.The future will belong to these bright young people.

Patting Guo Shuai on the shoulder, Yu Chigong pointed to the scout who had returned from the city and said, "Go, bring him here."

Guo Shuai agreed, turned around and called for someone.

Not long after, the scout arrived and saw the frostbite on the scout's body, Yu Chi respectfully said: "Hurry up and tell me what you found, and then go to treat the wound."

The scout knelt on one knee and said, "Reporting to the general, the Tubo people really retreated, but they didn't go back directly, but crossed the Qingshi Mountain. I don't know what they want to go north."

"Go north?"

Thinking of a possibility, Yuchi Gong broke out in a cold sweat, pointing at Guo Shuai and said, "Quickly, hurry up and gather your troops. It is enough to leave [-] troops in Songzhou City. With [-] troops, immediately Crossing Gansongling to Diezhou, Diezhou government soldiers must be gathered to help Kuozhou.

After arriving in Kuozhou, tell the two brothers of the Xue family that if the Tubo people did not attack them, they would send troops to Gaochang immediately!It is very possible that the Tibetans are going to merge with the Turks! "
