"I don't know the two of you, but are you familiar with the heads in our left and right preparation mansions?"

Li Shimin asked while also looking into the outer trench. I saw that the forbidden soldiers inside were all looking at him with expectant eyes. And the vast majority of them have implicit dissatisfaction.

Li Shimin's action of ordering the shooting of his comrades just now certainly saved the car base, but it also made them frightened. And now the situation of being trapped in the trench also makes these good sons from Guanzhong angry and ashamed.

Especially when they were forced by 200 lances and 200 bows in the barricade, it was even more difficult for them to have a good impression of this temporary commander.

But Li Shimin was unmoved: "Can you please help me identify their identities?"

After all, he has not been in and out of the forbidden army for a long time, and he mostly stays in the Chongwen Pavilion every day, and he does not have any familiar colleagues. The two in front of him are the only people he can rely on now, except for the eldest grandson Wuji.

"In this case, you really have to worry about it!"

The eldest grandson Shunde was full of admiration: "Leave this matter to me, I dare not say that all the people here recognize it, but all the military commanders and above, as long as I have taken a face-to-face interview, they can't hide it from me." ”

He thought to himself that it was no wonder that Gao Shilian was in a hurry to promote the marriage between Guanyin and Li Shimin. Such a young hero, in today's Luoyang City, is indeed a rare commodity.

Before it was ridiculous, he still secretly hated Gao Shilian, and wanted to use this marriage to cling to Tang Guogong, and wanted to marry his gentle and lovely cousin to a prodigal son. But now it seems that the facts are not true.

At the same time, Sima Liancheng, the embroidered man in the distance, couldn't help but glance up and down at Li Shimin with appreciation.

Although this son is young, he can act in a very disciplined manner, and when he responds to the enemy, he is also calm and unhurried, and he does not lack the heart and skill required by a good general, and he will become a great weapon in the future.

Her Royal Highness the Queen entrusted the war here to Li Shimin, and she really found the right person.

"The matter of identifying the identity is the responsibility of the eldest grandson, so the reorganization will be handed over to Brother Wuji and Gongsun Yuhou. ”

Li Shimin didn't notice Sima Liancheng's gaze, and still gave orders to himself: "The six hundred people in this trench can be completely dispersed, organized into three guards, and those who are good at fighting can be selected as generals." The two of you have been in the forbidden army for a long time, and you must know the ability of your comrades, and if you have a suitable candidate, you can quickly recommend it to me. And then there's the reinforcement of stone walls, the widening of trenches, and so on—"

After making preliminary arrangements for all the affairs inside and outside the barracks, Li Shimin saw in the distance that another wave of defeated troops was coming. The leader was none other than his cousin Li Boyi, who narrowly avoided the pursuit of the iron cavalry and retreated to the base. However, his subordinates suffered heavy losses, and less than 40% of the more than 200 people were saved.

This army of 100 people is still a big supplement to the current situation. After all, those 'rebels' have changed their strategy, no longer driving people in the direction of the barricades, but trying to slaughter as much as possible, and disperse those defeated soldiers of the forbidden army outside the battlefield.

It is foreseeable that they will have nothing to replenish in the future, except for the 1,800 men who lack armament in this barricade.

Next, Li Shimin did not withdraw to see his cousin, but walked quickly to the other side of the barricade. In a clearing here, dozens of people dressed as monks and Taoists were gathered together, and there were more than a dozen civil officials wearing seven-grade robes.

The former belongs to the Honglu Temple, which is enshrined by the royal family of the high monks and Taoist Yushi, and the latter belongs to the Qintianjian and has the official rank of the seven-rank Lingtailang, and is responsible for the sun, moon and stars, as well as all the things of gods and ghosts.

In addition, these people, without exception, have the identity of 'sorcerers'. The strength ranges from five to four grades, and they can all release their spiritual power, and they have the strength to perform some medium-sized spells.

After all, those six- and seven-grade magicians are not qualified at all to step into the threshold of the imperial court and the royal family.

These people are one of their few strengths. Such a luxurious sorcerer camp is almost comparable to any sect in the 'Eight Sects of the Zhengyi Sect' today.

This kind of strength is difficult for the other party to achieve no matter what.

It's a pity that Cangyu Zhenren Hua Chenzi and Guangyue Zen Master were assassinated to death, and the remaining Qin Tianjian Cheng Yuan Lie, as well as Huang Guanzi, are slightly inferior in strength, otherwise he would have a way to turn the battle around with just magic.

When Li Shimin arrived, he found that more than a dozen red-robed Daoists here, as well as those from Qin Tianjian, were burning the talisman array on the spot under the command of Yuan Lie and Huang Guanzi. The rest of the monks were on the sidelines to attack them.

Li Shimin knew at a glance that these people were preparing to build a simple Taoist altar, and the purpose was to dispel the dense fog.

This was exactly what he expected, and it was the reason why he hurried over.

"You can stop first, this fog can't be dissipated!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, many Taoist monks here looked at them with stunned expressions. Tang Yuanhua, who was standing next to him, also frowned slightly: "What does Li Duyu mean by this? Why do you want to stop driving the fog?"

At this time, the actions of these sorcerers were precisely from Her Royal Highness the Queen and his orders.

"Then dare to ask Gonggong Tang, what good will it do us to expel this fog now? I wanted to dispel the fog before, in order to get a glimpse of the enemy's situation, and to order our forbidden army units. But now, is it still necessary?"

After Li Shimin finished asking this sentence, he saw Tang Yuanhua, Yuan Lie, Huang Guanzi and others, their expressions changed at first, and then they showed a look of deep thought.

"The so-called times have changed, and now this fog is quite beneficial to us. One can make it difficult for the traitor to distinguish the movement of our virtual and real, and the other can blur the other party's vision to avoid the bow and arrow, so this fog, instead of being able to expel it, should find a way to enhance it. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at the imperial chariot in the center of the camp with a different color in his eyes: "In addition, when it comes to bows and arrows, Her Royal Highness the Queen chariots and lives in the center of the barracks, so it highlights the dignity, but it is not the best policy. ”

Tang Yuanhua was slightly stunned for a moment, and then his forehead suddenly overflowed with a big cold sweat. Then he suddenly turned around and hurried away.

Among the rest of the people, Yuan Lie was still a little hesitant: "Is there really no need to drive away the fog?"

"There is really no need for this, there are many magicians here, and they also need to be sniped by arrows. ”

Li Shimin's voice was categorical: "Some small techniques for clear ears and eyes are more useful at this time. ”

These spells don't use much spiritual power, and with the number of magicians here, it is more than enough to cover one or two thousand people. Therefore, this fog, instead of becoming theirs, can become a help.

When Yuan Lie heard the word 'sniper', he immediately dispelled the idea of dispelling the fog: "My Taoist has the Eye-Clearing Technique, the Shangqing Law Eye, etc., and the ranks are all under the seventh grade, and the magicians here can perform more than three or five hundred times, and each time it can last for a moment." ”

At this time, another monk also spoke: "My Buddhism also helps people temporarily open up the six senses, and the effect of 'other eye communication' is also similar to the effect of the eyesight technique. ”

Li Shimin turned his head to look and saw that there were six incense buds on the top of the head of this great monk, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Dare to ask what the master's name is?"

The monk smiled slightly, and bowed: "The little monk is called Xuanfei, and I am fortunate to be the chief monk of the White Horse Temple." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be in awe: "It turned out that Master Xuanfei was in front of him, and Pilu Sha lost his respect!"

After the first emperor ruled the world, he inherited the system of the previous dynasty and took the power of Buddhism and Taoism for his own use, which was exclusively under the jurisdiction of Honglu Temple. And to establish a hierarchy for the monks and Taoists in the world, and grant degrees.

And just as in the Taoist gate, there are Taoists, crowns, feathers, real people, and true kings, and within the Buddhist gates, there are also novices, monks, monks, great monks, and Dharma masters.

And a great monk is already in a good position in Buddhism. Except for some of the great monks who manage the secular affairs of the monastery and have their names but no facts, most of the rest have advanced cultivation. In addition to the profundity of Buddhism, it also needs any one of martial arts and magic to reach the realm of three or even two grades, which is equivalent to a second-grade powerhouse in the army.

"Don't dare to be called a master!"

When Master Xuanfei saw that Li Shimin deliberately mentioned his small character 'Vilusha', he immediately had a good impression of him: "Now that the great enemy is present, although we are monks, we dare not stay out of the matter. Du Yu waited for the Lord to be useful to us, just give orders. ”

"Virusha will not be polite to the master!"

Li Shimin's expression was solemn: "I have ordered the eldest grandson Yuhou to select those who are good at martial arts and fine archery in the army, and form an army separately. Later, I will ask the master to lead a group of eminent monks here and bless them with his vision skills!"

Master Xuanfei didn't know who this eldest grandson Yu Hou was, but he understood what Li Shimin meant, and immediately bowed his head slightly: "This matter is easy!"

At this time, Li Shimin turned to look at the Taoists present, as well as the Lingtai Lang of the many Qin Heavenly Prisons: "Before the attack of the Rebel Thief Gong, I need a large number of armor-piercing arrows, but the more the better. If any of you know how to make it, can you take a step forward?"

When everyone present heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other. And after a while, more than 30 people took a step forward.

The yellow crown even brushed his long beard and said: "Although the armor-piercing arrow is rare, it is not difficult to make, as long as the materials are sufficient." Only one person can make three sticks in a single hour. ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed deeply to these people: "I entrust you with this thing! The safety of the car barrier depends on the strength of the kings." ”

Then he looked at Yuan Lie again, who was obviously also familiar with the method of making armor-piercing arrows, and was one of the people who stood up.

However, this real person, he has other uses: "Yuan Zhenren also has a great responsibility, and there are many sorcerers among the traitors. The last general wants to invite a real person, and about 30 people will be selected from here to fight against the spells of the rebels. ”

When Yuan Lie heard this, he immediately agreed: "Where do you dare to wait for this request? This is Yuan's responsibility." ”

He is the Qin Heavenly Eunuch, and in addition to being responsible for the astronomical calendar and mastering the affairs of the gods and ghosts in the world, it is also one of their responsibilities to protect the royal family from demons.
