I have a backstage in Datang

In a blink of an eye, people went far away, at this time Zhaoning spoke softly, said: "This man is a little ignorant, and it wasted your attention. You gave him a chance to get him out of slavery, and he actually said that he will live forever. I just want to be a house slave."

However, Gu Tianya exhaled slowly, looked at Sun Qi's slightly awkward back from a distance and said: "His family and relatives are all under the control of Sun."

Zhaoning was startled for a moment.

She is a famous Goddess of War who seldom thinks about the difficulties of small people, but Gu Tianya has been poor for a long time, and he can see Sun Qi's depression and anger with just one glance.

That's why they were willing to cooperate so that Sun Qi could complete the task smoothly.

Even though this was a long-established strategy, to accept Miyun Sun's weakness on purpose, but because the other party sent Sun Qi, Gu Tianya's acting this time was not considered good.

Mrs. Sun came here to show weakness this time, but she chose a good candidate.

Chapter 68 [Li Shimin, second uncle, very upset]

As long as there is food in this era, any difficulty will no longer be a difficulty.

The land has been brought back, and the food is also available. The next thing to do is to put down the flag and silently develop the people's livelihood for a while.

Whenever you clenched your fists, you don't have to hit them immediately. If you gather more strength, the beating will hurt even more. If you can see the right timing, you can kill people in one fell swoop.

Gu Tianya understood this truth, and presumably the Sun family of Miyun also understood it, so the Sun family of Miyun sent Sun Qi to show their favor, and Gu Tianya just chose to follow suit.

Gujiacun began to get busy.

Although it used to be just a small mountain village, it is no longer ordinary now, because it has the participation of Princess Pingyang, so it always attracts the attention of interested people...

……

Guanzhong, Luoyang, Tiance Mansion.

In the evening of that day, a horse riding Juechen came, galloping at an extremely fast speed, splashing countless piles of snow, the rider arrived at Tiance Mansion very quickly, passed the report and entered the mansion.

This came from the north and brought back the latest news. Although there are birds and birds in this era, the letters cannot cover everything, so some important things still need messengers, who are responsible for delivering the most detailed information. .

Since these days, such messengers have often returned from the Northland.

At this time, Li Shimin and a group of officials were waiting in Tiance Mansion. The knight was wearing a red feather and could enter the hall directly. He brought back two stacks of military newspapers and a thick secret letter hidden in his bosom...

The two stacks of military newspapers belonged to the border, and the thick secret letter came from Gujia Village.

State affairs come first, so everyone in the Tiance Mansion circulated two border military newspapers without hesitation. After reading them, everyone looked puzzled.

But seeing Li Shimin frowning slightly, he was a little puzzled and said, "What is Xiuning's intention? Why did she deliberately attract Turks?"

Before he finished speaking, Du Ruhui's voice sounded next to him, who seemed to be equally puzzled and said: "Since ancient times, the matter of swords and soldiers has been a disaster of water and fire. Even if we have full confidence, we should still avoid wars if we can. Princess, since she found out If the Sun family in Miyun communicated with the grassland, both teams of messengers should be intercepted and sniped, why do you have to arrest one team and let the other team go, isn't this intentionally letting that team enter the grassland?"

The implication is self-explanatory, it means that Li Xiuning deliberately wanted to make the Turkic people raise their troops.

This situation is obviously not in line with common sense.

Now that the Turks are strong, the Tang Dynasty is not yet stable, and the defense of the border is too late, why are they rushing to attack the Turks?

Everyone found it incredible, and couldn't figure out what Li Xiuning's purpose was.

Li Shimin suddenly looked at the messenger, and asked in a deep voice: "You come from the north, so you must know the inside story, please tell me carefully, what kind of secret is there?"

"Report to Your Highness, but there are secrets!"

The messenger nodded respectfully, and then slowly spit out a word in his mouth, saying with admiration: "Bull!"

"Cattle?"

Everyone was startled.

Seeing that Li Shimin seemed to have figured something out, a bright light flashed in his eyes suddenly, he stood up abruptly, and blurted out: "This king understands, Xiuning, she is eyeing the Turkic cattle."

Du Ruhui followed closely, and suddenly realized: "I also want to understand, this plan is really sharp. In the past, when the Turkic invaded in winter, every time the auxiliary soldiers would drive the bullocks to transport the looted grain. At that time, the Central Plains was weak. , can only be slaughtered by them, even if there are 20 women's troops stationed in the north, they can only barely guarantee that the country will not be invaded. Apart from barely defending the country, there is nothing else to do. Regarding the Turkic cavalry's raging and plundering, I can only watch helplessly They are rampant, but this time it is different, because there are tens of thousands of troops from our Tiance Mansion on the border..."

After tens of thousands of troops were added, the situation of the battle had become one of intentional calculation and unintentional calculation. If the Turkic people really went south, I am afraid that this time there will be no good fruit.

The grasslands are all cavalry, and they pay attention to coming and going like the wind. Once the battle fails, they can only return in a hurry, but their auxiliary soldiers can't come and go like the wind.

This is to make war money!

Du Ruhui couldn't help but praise, and gave a thumbs-up: "Princess's plan is really sharp. It looks like a dangerous move, but in fact it's a chestnut in the middle of the fire. If it is calculated according to the minister, there is a [-]% chance of winning this matter. Once the plan is made If it succeeds, it will be hundreds of thousands of cows..."

Hundreds of thousands of cows?

In the entire conference hall, there was a sudden sound of swallowing saliva.

Li Shimin was obviously a little excited, and couldn't help but said: "The reason why this matter can be accomplished is because my king's Tiance army rushed to the Northland. If it is completed, wouldn't the Tiance Mansion also get half of the cattle? Xiuning is really good." , this plan is exquisite and extraordinary..."

Unexpectedly, the messenger suddenly opened his mouth, and carefully reminded: "Reporting to Your Highness, this is not the princess' plan, but Gu Tianya's plan, which he wants to take advantage of to make a fortune. It is precisely because the princess listened to his advice analysis, so I made up my mind to focus on the Turkic cattle.”

"Gu Tianya?"

Everyone in the room was startled again.

Li Shimin seemed to 'dislike' hearing Gu Tianya's name, and suddenly snorted and said, "It's just a poor boy, how can he be so smart? This plan must have been painstakingly set up by the king's sister. That's why you pretended to trust Gu Tianya because you didn't hide it from everyone. Don't talk nonsense, I don't like to hear it..."

This is a bit unreasonable.

Since ancient times, uncles seem to be the same. They always look at their brother-in-law and feel displeased.

The messenger looked helpless, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, Your Highness is right."

Li Shimin snorted again, and for some reason seemed to be a little angry, and scolded: "Look at you people, what have you all become? Since this period of time, a total of twenty messengers have returned from the Tiance Mansion, but almost Everyone is talking nonsense, and they all praised that kid to the sky, I really want to ask you, have your brains been kicked by donkeys?"

The messenger shrank his head, and repeatedly accused him: "Yes, yes, what His Highness reprimanded is that my subordinates will not dare in the future, and my subordinates will never dare again."

Although he begged for forgiveness, he suddenly muttered in a low voice, and said with a troubled face: "But Gu Tianya is really good!"

"Ok??"

Li Shimin has such good ears, how can he fail to hear the messenger's thoughts?

Li Shimin laughed suddenly, and said to the messenger: "Looking at you like this, you are obviously dissatisfied, anyway, I will give you a chance, but I want to hear what is so strange about that Gu Tianya, why are you messengers They all fell into a coma, and when he was mentioned, their eyes immediately glistened? Come on, tell me the report, and also report it to all the comrades present..."

When the messenger heard that he was allowed to play the report, he immediately became excited, and the guy's eyes really started to light up, and he opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness, Gu Tianya is amazing."

Li Shimin let out a resentment, turned his head and quietly rolled his eyes, and muttered in a low voice, as if he was very upset: "Nonsense, isn't it good enough to fool this king's sister?"

After complaining about his displeasure, he turned back to look at the messenger again, with a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't care about Gu Tianya's affairs at all, and asked lightly, "Then tell me, what is so great about him?"

"First of all, to collect scrap iron!" The messenger blurted out, his face full of admiration.

However, everyone present was stunned, looked at each other wondering, and said with a look of astonishment: "Scrap iron?"

"That's right, it's collecting scrap iron!"

The messenger was very excited and said impatiently: "Now the whole Gujia Village has known about collecting scrap iron. There are mainly eight villages that do this. No matter old or young, women or children, they go out early and return late every day. At home, they go from village to lane, constantly collecting scrap iron..."

He paused for a while, and then said: "If anyone has a dilapidated iron pot, it is too rotten to be repaired and reused, so take it away; if someone has abandoned farm tools, it has been rotten and rusted (shi) to the point of failure. It can no longer be used, so it is collected; in addition, Hebei Road is a place of long wars, and there are old battlefield sites everywhere. As long as you carefully dig out the snow and soil layers, you will often find rusty arrowheads and broken knives. , These are treasures, and they can also be picked up and sold."

The messenger became more and more excited as he talked, and couldn't help but beam with joy: "Your Majesty, you said that even your subordinates have made a small fortune. These days, your subordinates have dug up a lot of leftovers from the battlefield. After taking them to Gu's Village, the princess I have converted a lot of rewards..."

As he spoke, he suddenly put his hand into his bosom, took out a carefully placed note, then looked at Li Shimin eagerly, and said: "Look, Your Highness, this is a white note from the princess. The princess asked me to take this note and look for it. You receive the corresponding money."

Li Shimin froze immediately, his face twitched unconsciously.

After a long time passed, he opened his mouth with a strange expression, and said, "You help them do things, but you come to me to receive the reward?"

The messenger twitched a little, and said with a simple and honest face: "The princess told us that she is different from before. She used to be lavish, but in the future she has to be diligent and thrifty in managing the family. If she can make a fortune, she will make a fortune. Said, you are her second brother, you like face, so you better cheat..."

Li Shimin was dumbfounded immediately, and felt his chest constricted.

After a long time passed, he took a deep breath and tried to persuade himself: "This is my own sister, this is my own sister."

He persuaded himself for a long time, barely calmed down the depression in his heart, then looked at the messenger again, gritted his teeth and asked, "Tell me, what's going on, why do you need to collect scrap iron, there must be something strange about it."

Without hesitation, the messenger blurted out: "Report to Your Highness, melting iron to make steel."

When he said this, his face was full of admiration.

However, everyone present was confused, and Li Shimin also looked confused.

Smelting iron and making steel?

What vocabulary is this?

Chapter 69 [Li Shimin wants to go to Hebei to see]

Li Shimin frowned and pondered for a long time, but he still didn't think it through.

He looked at the messenger again, and asked: "Although my sister has a bold personality, she never does things aimlessly. Since she supports that brat to collect scrap iron, there must be some kind of interest in it, right?"

He said without waiting for the messenger to open his mouth, and said again: "The fact that they collect scrap iron has attracted even you scouts. Obviously the benefits in this are huge, otherwise it will definitely not attract you old soldiers. If Wang's guess is correct, the matter of collecting scrap iron may have something to do with the way of the army, right?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, it is true!"

But the messenger suddenly reached into his waist and carefully unwrapped something. Judging by his delicate movements, he clearly regarded the item on his waist as a treasure.

He wrapped the thing in a cloth roll, obviously taking care of it to the extreme.

After untying the things around his waist, he gently opened the wrapped cloth roll, and then stroked back and forth as if facing his wife. Then he reluctantly reached out and handed it to Li Shimin, saying: "Your Highness, look, this is called Three-sided army thorn."

"Three edge army thorns?"

Li Shimin was slightly confused, and reached out to take the things.

Then, he looked down carefully.

The messenger took two steps forward carefully, and explained excitedly, "Your Highness, look, this thing is very fierce. It is three feet three long, thick at the bottom and thin at the top, and there are blood-letting grooves on both sides. As long as it is pierced into the body, it will be a The blood hole is really a sharp weapon for hand-to-hand combat, and the only magic weapon for scouting and spying."

In fact, he didn't need to go into details, Li Shimin's eyes were already twinkling, what a character Li Shimin was, he was fighting almost every day during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he only took a few glances at the triangular army stabbing him, and he already discovered the ferocity and viciousness of this thing.

The top of this thing is extremely sharp, and there are three blood-letting grooves on the sides. As the messenger said, it is a blood hole when it is pierced into the body.

At this time, everyone present had forgotten about collecting the scrap iron, and almost all got up and came over, especially the leading generals, all of them had shock in their eyes.

Li Shimin raised his head suddenly, yelled softly at the door, and said, "Hurry up and bring a sheep to me."

A guard outside agreed instantly, and soon brought a healthy ram.

Li Shimin took two steps forward suddenly, and stabbed violently with a wave of his hand. He only heard a puff, and the military stab went straight to the end. The eyelids of all the people present trembled, and the generals subconsciously gasped.

Tie Hanhan Liu Hongji squeezed up from the crowd, and shouted eagerly: "Pull it out, pull it out quickly, His Royal Highness, don't just plug it in. Pull it out and let everyone see if this thing is powerful or not."

The words were quite vulgar, and everyone gave him a look, but Liu Hongji didn't know it, and still yelled: "Pull it out, quickly pull it out..."

"Nima!"

Finally someone couldn't bear it any longer, and punched this guy with a cold breath, and immediately gave Liu Hongji a black eye, but this guy still yelled, 'Your Highness, pull it out quickly'.

Li Shimin's face twitched a few times, and he really wanted to slap this guy to death, but he also knew that Liu Hongji was born rough, even if he became a general, he would still talk about the market.

He pretended not to hear Liu Hongji's chattering, just looked solemnly at the churning ram, and suddenly reached out his hand to grab the three-edged army thorn, and pulled it out gently.

But there was a soft sound of "pu chi", which was almost inaudible.

There was no scene of gushing blood, only a trickle of blood, although it was a trickle, but continuous, everyone stared at the big sheep, and found that a small puddle of sheep blood gradually gathered on the ground.

The big sheep kept thrashing, but it didn't struggle very much. Obviously, the pain brought by the triangular army thorns was not too strong, so the big sheep's struggle and thrashing were not too strong.

However, Da Yang's spirit is constantly sluggish.

In just a dozen panting breaths, the big sheep was lying on the ground wearily.

Everyone was terrified, and their faces were shocked.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and slowly said: "Short blades meet, assassination sharp weapons, this thing is a perfect match for the scout army, no wonder you all praise Gu Tianya so much..."

He was only in the middle of speaking, and suddenly changed his words, as if shocked: "No, this thing can be used not only by scouts. For example, city defenders can also be equipped by everyone. Once the enemy climbs the city wall, both sides will In hand-to-hand combat, this thing is extremely sharp, and it can be said that it is hopeless. The most valuable thing is that it is extremely light in weight, which can save a lot of physical strength and endurance of the fighters. For example, if you fight with a knife, ordinary soldiers You can swing a hundred knives at most, and it’s like a soldier holding a long spear to fend off the enemy, you can only poke two or three hundred times at most, but this three-edged army stab hardly consumes any effort!"

With almost no effort, wouldn't it be possible to keep fighting with this thing?

This is simply a peerless weapon for hand-to-hand combat at the head of the city!

The courier was full of pride, and suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, you only thought of defending the city, but did not think of attacking the city. If we ascend to the top of the enemy's city, we will also start a hand-to-hand battle..."

Li Shimin's expression brightened immediately, and he couldn't help blurting out: "That's right, it's true."

He suddenly looked at the messenger and said in surprise, "You can think further than this king?"

The messenger immediately twitched, and said embarrassingly: "This is what Mr. Gu taught us!"

"Gu Tianya again?"

Li Shimin's face froze, his face stretched longer than a donkey's.

Since ancient times, uncles don't like brother-in-law very much.Don't make me praise him for cheating on my little cabbage.

At this time, in the main meeting hall of Tiance Mansion, all the generals looked at the Three-Length Army Thorn eagerly, and suddenly Liu Hongji stretched out his hand and snatched the Three-Length Army Thorn away.
