Tang Dynasty Never Night

The faces of the people present were not good-looking. To be honest, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were basically few people who dared to provoke such a face-to-face. Those who dared to do so were killed.

Zheng Qi got angry and turned to look at Li Xian. He had encountered many things on the battlefield, and many people had ridiculed him for saying that there was no one in Tang Dynasty who would let a sissy come out to fight. He didn't say anything about it. But it wasn't that he didn't get angry at the time, so he couldn't even cry when he was beaten. Zheng Qi's mood was always peaceful, even if he got angry, he wouldn't mess himself up, but he was afraid that Li Xian would get angry.

If he was in Shouwang Mansion, he can say whatever he wants, but now Li Xian still has the title of Marshal of the Taozhou Road Marching on his head. He is his boss's boss, so he can't be too presumptuous, in case Li Xian is really dizzy He still has to think about how to stop this guy.

What he didn't expect was that after Li Xian stood there panting for a long time, he suddenly turned around and said, "Let's go!"

Then he got off the city wall and ran all the way back to the governor's mansion.Zheng Qi, Gao Kan and Li Jinxing looked at each other and immediately followed back to the Governor's Mansion.

After going back, Zheng Qi carefully observed Li Xian's expression, feeling a little heartbroken for a moment, now Li Xian's eyes were bloodshot, his hands were trembling, even his lips were a little white, obviously he was very angry, since he knew Li Xian, he hadn't seen him. Even if his own students were so angry, even Li Hong's poisoning did not make Li Xian lose his composure like this.

Li Xian was really so angry that he sat on the main seat and suppressed it for a long time before saying in a hoarse voice, "I can't wait."

"Marshal!" Zheng Qi didn't shout and forgot this time, and directly called Li Xian by his current title, just to remind Li Xian not to be impulsive.

Li Xian waved his hand at Zheng Qi and said: "I understand Qingcheng's concerns, I'm just thinking of other ways, if I wait any longer, I'm afraid there will be more than just this Jingguan on the opposite side, and we will take it down when he kills everyone What's the use of Shanzhou?"

Perhaps many people only look at the outcome of the war, but...if the entire city is slaughtered, then what is the use of them taking the city in the end?Winning is winning, but also losing completely.

Li Xian knows that it is not a good thing to overthrow the plan casually, but he really can't wait any longer. If he worked hard and finally got the result, he might be able to say that he doesn't regret it, but if he didn't even work hard...he couldn't live up to himself That close.

After Li Xian finished speaking, everyone was silent. Gao Kan and Li Jinxing were also angry, but the current situation is really difficult. Even if the opponent has no hostages, it is not easy to take down a city in a short time. , not to mention the fact that they are now playing tricks on the mouse?

The atmosphere in the hall was tense for a moment. Li Xian raised his head to see that the sky was getting darker, he couldn't help but waved his hands and said, "You guys go to rest first, I...I'll think about it later."

Zheng Qi left with Gao Kan and Li Jinxing, turned around and ran to Li Xian's study, as soon as he entered, he saw Li Xian sitting at the desk in a daze, wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to comfort him, he could only ask : "Is there really a way?"

Li Xian pursed his lips and said, "I don't understand marching formations. The only thing I can do is to make something new to use, but I don't know if it's useful..."

Speaking of this, Li Xian was also a little discouraged. Being a scumbag was his eternal pain, but his specialty was indeed not in the formation of troops, so he still had to discuss this matter with Zheng Qi and the others.

Zheng Qi shook his head: "Even if you have an idea now, it's too late." Li Xian's inventions and creations require time and experimentation, but time waits for no one...

Li Xian waved his hand: "If you have time, there is a way. If you don't have time, there is a way. Let me think about it."

Li Xian was actually thinking about how to make a smoke bomb. This thing is actually very useful, but before his thinking has been stuck on how to cause more casualties to the opponent, he forgot that it is actually a disturbing type like smoke bombs Weapons work wonders when used well.

Zheng Qi watched Li Xian meditate there, he was useless here, so he got up and went to find Gao Kan and Li Jinxing, although Li Xian looked quite sure, Zheng Qi still felt that he didn't want to put too much pressure on him.

As a result, after he left, Li Xian asked someone to find out the white phosphorus. The white phosphorus smoke bomb is actually not only a smoke bomb but also a side effect of the explosion, but now he has no other way. If you can't get it, you can't match it, you can only use white phosphorus to make a living.

Although it is said that the ignition point of white phosphorus is relatively low, in fact, the ignition point of white phosphorus is about [-] degrees Celsius, but now Li Xian is looking for more complicated chemical substances, which generally contain phosphorus, but not pure white phosphorus. It can prevent the ignition point of white phosphorous from being too low and not hurting the enemy before burning it in one's own barracks.

Li Xian originally wanted to make phosphorus bombs, but now there is no suitable material, so he simply started with arrows. One of the characteristics of white phosphorus is that it burns easily and is not easy to be extinguished. To be honest, this thing is too damaged. Li Xian Hitting people with cannonballs is nothing more than death, but white phosphorous... This is the rhythm of burning people alive. If Li Xian couldn't bear it in the past, but now he climbed the city wall and looked at the opposite side. Jingguan, there is nothing unbearable.

After modifying two arrows, Li Xian found that the burning effect was not very good. After all, how much phosphorous powder could the arrows carry?If it is pure white phosphorus, it is okay, but the effect of phosphorus powder mixed with other things is not so good.

Moreover, Li Xian also overlooked a problem. The reason why Zheng Qi and the others were unable to attack was because they were afraid of random arrows hurting people. If they could really shoot arrows, would they still have to wait for Li Xian to come over?

This way was blocked, so Li Xian could only think of other ways.

After Zheng Qi discussed with Gao Kan and Li Jinxing and they came to a similar result, they turned around and came to Li Xian again, and then... saw Li Xian busy there and didn't know what to do.

"Your Majesty?" Zheng Qi knew Li Xian a lot, and he knew from this posture that the other party must have something to do.

Li Xian looked up at them. Although the expression on his face was still somewhat gloomy, it was not as depressed as before. He waved to Zheng Qi and the others and said, "Come here, let me show you something."

After Zheng Qi and the others walked over, they saw Li Xian playing with a small wooden box. Inside the wooden box was a pile of crimson powdery solids, which looked like dirt but were different. There is an hourglass on one end of the seesaw, a fire clip under the hourglass, and a metal block tied to the other end.

Zheng Qi looked at this seemingly complicated and uncomplicated thing, and he was quite confused. Li Xian didn't say a word, just put the lid on the box and put it in an open space, which was surrounded by bricks and stones. Simple venue.

After Li Xian put the box there, he sat down and waited. He asked Zheng Qi and the others to wait together. The wait lasted for half an hour. It exploded and caught fire, which shocked Zheng Qi and the others. The fire started too suddenly, and the color was not quite right, with a hint of green, and it was not only on fire but also smoking!Gao Kan and Li Jinxing felt hairy when they saw it.

Zheng Qi turned to look at Li Xian and asked, "Your Majesty? What's going on here?"

Li Xian looked a little tired and didn't answer, turned his head and asked, "How long?"

"Back to Marshal, one hour and one quarter."

Li Xian nodded: "That's about it. Look here, don't burn it outside, and the generals come in with me."

Zheng Qi and the others came over full of doubts. Li Xian told them a little about the usage of this thing. Strictly speaking, it is just a very low-level timing smoke bomb. This is also thanks to the low melting point of white phosphorus. It's really not enough to become something else.

In fact, if you do it, it’s not bad to use a wooden box to make a smoke bomb directly, but if you make something like phosphorous powder into a smoke bomb, you may even screw your own people. After all, there is no suitable equipment that is not far enough, so you can only If it is timed, it is best to bury it first without anyone noticing, and then wait for the phosphorus bomb to explode before attacking them both inside and outside to catch them off guard.

It's just that Li Xian couldn't think of a good way to use it, so he simply handed things over to Zheng Qi and Li Jinxing. He did everything he could, and the rest was up to Zheng Qi and the others.

Zheng Qi took the things and thought about what Li Xiangang wanted to say, but when he saw the other party's eyes were red and bloodshot and his face was exhausted, he turned a corner: "Leave this matter to us, Your Majesty... or Let's take a break first."

After he said this, Gao Kan and Li Jinxing looked sideways, didn't they agree to come together and report to the marshal?Your words let the marshal go to rest, and they still report their size.

But they couldn't tell Li Xian to go to rest, so they could only stand aside silently, Li Xian was also very tired, waved his hand and said: "You guys go, I guess I can't help you with the rest busy."

Zheng Qi really wanted to send Li Xian in to coax him to sleep. He was worried that Li Xian would not sleep well, but now was obviously not the time, so he had no choice but to take Gao Kan and Li Jin along with a bunch of things.

Just as Zheng Qi thought, although Li Xian was very tired, he didn't sleep well. When he closed his eyes, he remembered the Beijing Temple piled up with human heads. How could he sleep well like this?

It's just that when he woke up, he saw Zheng Qi sitting beside him and asked in a gentle voice, "Okay? Are you thirsty?"

Li Xian felt dizzy from this sleep, and when he got up, he asked, "How is the situation now?"

"I'll just wait for you." Zheng Qi handed him a bowl of honey water and said, "You woke up just in time, and we're going to start after a while."

After Li Xian heard this, he didn't waste time. He just washed up, put on his armor, and went out. After he went out, he found that Gao Kan and Li Jinxing were no longer here. When he asked, Zheng Qi said: "Director Gao, go The north gate is closed, let's go to the east gate, Manager Li is below."

Li Xian was a little dazed, but seeing that Zheng Qi seemed anxious, he didn't ask any more questions. After he went out, he found that the brigade had already assembled.Li Xian stared and turned to look at Zheng Qi in an instant: "What is this for?"

Is this the rhythm of doing it head-on?If you do it head-on, why wait so long?

Zheng Qi smiled slightly and said, "Don't be in a hurry."

Li Xian held his breath and didn't speak any more. He believed in Zheng Qi in his heart, but this posture... Forget it and let him do whatever he wants.

Zheng Qi's performance was completely within Li Xian's expectations, as if he was angry but insisted on confronting him head-on, Li Xian estimated that Gao Kan's side was probably in the same situation.

It's just that the other party refused to leave the city, and directly suppressed the people or the Tang army who had been captured before and went up to the city wall, which means that you can blow it up if you have the ability.

Li Xian was about to blow his hair again at that time, but it was useless, and he couldn't be cruel, Zheng Qi didn't even try to persuade him.But in order to prevent his students from getting angry, he couldn't help but said: "I heard that you were praying for rain in Qinghai before?"

After hearing this, Li Xian felt helpless: "No, I just said something casually, and then..."

After hearing this, Zheng Qi raised his eyebrows secretly. He felt that his student's magic stick ability seemed to have improved again, so he said casually: "Why didn't you say anything this time?"

Li Xian glared at him: "There are still people inside, can you talk nonsense?"

He is also holding back very hard, okay?When he saw Dui Jingguan on the opposite side, he wanted to say something like lightning strikes from the sky, but he didn't dare. Some of the Tang troops who died in battle were officers who were killed, but overall they were not all killed, so there were still some of their own.

Under such circumstances, he didn't dare to say anything casually, he didn't even dare to discuss the weather. Yes... Li Lun is still inside.

Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian's aggrieved look and smiled slightly, without continuing to dwell on this topic, he said directly: "It's almost there."

Li Xian turned his head to look at him, but before Zheng Qi could speak, he knew why the other party said that, because there was still thick smoke billowing after the explosion in the city, and Li Xian knew what was going on when he saw the smoke He turned to look at Zheng Qi and asked, "How did you get it in? It won't hurt anyone, right?"

He didn't think of a way before because he was afraid of hurting innocent people, but he still believed in Zheng Qi.

Zheng Qi pointed and said: "No, I have checked before, and they are basically placed where the Turkic soldiers live."

Zheng Qi explained to Li Xian again, it turned out that he directly requisitioned the dug tunnels, and the exits of those tunnels were originally garrison places, but he never thought of a good way to sneak in. Zhi is also a veteran, and he didn't relax his vigilance just because he occupied Shanzhou. The patrol in the city is still very strict. If there are not enough tunnel entrances, it is impossible to inflict heavy damage on the opponent in a short time.

If there are so many tunnels to be dug, it will take time. Now that Li Xian's phosphorus bombs came just in time, Zheng Qi simply gave up the tunnels that had already been dug, and put the ammunition directly at the entrance of the tunnels. I don't know how many people arrived, but judging from the chaotic situation on the city wall, I'm afraid it won't be much better inside.

Zheng Qi turned to Li Xian and said, "You wait here, I will lead the troops to attack the city."

Li Xian wanted to go with him, but he couldn't speak anymore. If his skills were not good enough, he would be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield, so he had no choice but to let Zheng Qi go.

Seeing his helpless expression, Zheng Qi wanted to reach out to touch his head, but felt that the time was not right, and felt a little regretful.

Zheng Qi led the people away on horseback, Li Xian was waiting for all kinds of news ahead, Zheng Qi also had a sense of propriety, taking advantage of the civil strife in Ashina Duzhi, let those hostages be brought to his side first , because these people were sent out as cannon fodder, so there is no need to worry about people from Ashinaduzhi among them.

After Li Xian asked people to arrange those people, he slowly tasted the taste. If Gao Kan and Zheng Qi were to fight here, he was probably afraid that if something happened in the city, those barbarians would kill the hostages first.

The phosphorous bombs were powerful enough, at least those fires were not easy to extinguish. Li Xian couldn't feel at ease sitting in the tent. He didn't know where Li Lun was locked up, and he was worried that those people would kill Li Lun on impulse.

As a result, when he was worried, the soldiers who had been by his side ran in and said, "Your Majesty, General Zheng sent someone to rescue His Royal Highness Xiang Wang."

After hearing this, Li Xian immediately felt relieved. After he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a little lazy, but no matter how lazy he was, he still had to pick up his brother.

Prime Minister Li Lun was at the most embarrassing time in his 14 years of life. His clothes were already filthy and he hadn't bathed for a long time. He felt like he was going to stink. I was worried, and the whole person lost weight.

At this moment, Li Lun still didn't believe that he was saved, and he was a little dazed when he was brought out. After all, he was a little prince who grew up in the imperial city in a pampered place. Where did he suffer from this?Even though he was told that he was saved, but because the people around him were not familiar to him, he was still a little skeptical.

Until he saw the man in the silver armor and red cloak walking towards him, his apparently not so tall and strong body made him feel extremely at ease at that moment.

After Li Xian knew where Li Lun was rescued, he brought someone out to greet him personally. When he saw Li Lun's little black face, his heart ached so much that he went directly to hug him in his arms. Li Lun is no longer young. He was not much shorter than Li Xian, so Li Xian couldn't hold him up if he wanted to, so he could only hold him in his arms and say, "Okay, don't be afraid, Brother Seven is here."

Li Lun only cried out loud at this time. He didn't cry when he was captured, he didn't cry when he was threatened, and he didn't cry when he was tortured. Now when he saw his brother, all the grievances in his heart came out. I did, and then I cried...I fainted from crying.

Li Xian hurriedly had someone carry him back to Liangzhou City, but he stayed behind - the war was still going on there.

However, once the city gate was broken, the outcome was almost over. Ashina's rebellion was mainly due to the backing of Tubo and Tianzhu. Now Tubo was suppressed by Zheng Qi, and Tianzhu was ... cheated by Li Xian. Neither of the two reinforcements could give him support, and it was only a matter of time before Ashina would fail.

The battle lasted from noon to dark, and more time was actually spent dealing with the fires caused by the phosphorous powder. Fortunately, the houses were not burned down, but the people in the city... there were not many left.

Li Xian asked Gao Kan and Li Jinxing to stay in Shanzhou to deal with the aftermath, and he took Zheng Qi back to Liangzhou. After returning, he asked about Li Lun's situation in detail.

Overall, Li Lun's condition is not bad, although he was a little injured, but Ashina was afraid that if he hurt him severely, he would not be able to bargain with Datang, so he didn't make too much of a move, and Li Lun's body The foundation is good, just take good care of it.

Li Xian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, after hearing that Li Lun had already fallen asleep, he didn't bother him, instead he came out and began to think... what to do next.

This time, he completely complied with the phrase "I will not accept the military order abroad". After all, before his father gave him the order, he brought people over to beat up the traitor. Although he believed that he would not be punished, he accepted Come down... Tianzhu should have nothing to do with me, but here... it seems that he is of no use, right?

In this way, while Li Zhi's edict to dispatch others to rescue King Xiang was still on the way, Li Xian, Zheng Qi, Gao Kan and Li Jinxing had already taken Shanzhou back.

After the cooking in Shanzhou was almost done, and Li Lun's body recovered, the edict arrived in Zheng Qi's hands—well, Li Zhi just sent Zheng Qi to rescue him, and he didn't even want Li Xian to come over.Not to mention Li Xian's lack of experience, he was afraid that this son would also be taken away by Ashina.

After sending the angel away, Li Xian called Zheng Qi and Gao Kan over for a small meeting, and he said directly without going around the corner: "Father's will is probably to let me go back to Beijing with King Xiang." gone."

Gao Kan and Li Jinxing silently felt that this possibility was very high, and they also wanted these two to go back quickly, in case something happened, the two above... would not be easy to mess with.

As a result, Li Xian's next sentence shattered their hopes: "I will arrange someone to escort Xiang Wang back to Beijing. General Zheng will still go back to defend Shazhou and Qilian Mountains. General Gao and General Li will follow me. Oh, I will write in handwriting." Send one to General Manager Liu, and ask him to send [-] troops to join us."

Gao Kan couldn't sit still when he heard this: "Your Highness, Marshal, what are you going to do?"

Li Xian sneered: "What are you doing? Go and give Mansong Mangzan a meeting gift, or else he really thinks that our Tang Dynasty is easy to bully? Since it is shameless to give face, then there is no need to give it. Before father's will arrives, we will go to Luoxi!"

Everyone present almost knelt down to King Shou.
