Chapter 119: Please Li Yan come out of the mountain!
"Modern Dance Mod, Parkour Mod, Modern Guoshu Mod......"
Unfolding the mod shop for the second-level achievements, Li Yan only took a few minutes to browse through them.
Unsurprisingly, there are basically no valuable mods.
Not to mention the immortal cultivation module that Li Yan dreams of, there is not even a martial arts module.
The only one that can be paired with cultivating immortals and martial arts is a modern national arts module.
Of course, seeing the price of this mod, Li Yan will not expect much from it.
"Modern Guoshu Mod: 6 Achievement Points"
Li Yan also doesn't know if these mods are randomly generated or copied from the previous life game, anyway, this is the first time Li Yan has seen a mod without a synopsis.
In the spirit of 6 achievement points, Li Yan unlocked this modern national art mod.
"Modern Guoshu mod installation complete"
"Congratulations on receiving the Modern Guoshu Mod Pack"
"Congratulations on obtaining the Skill Book: Mixed Yuan Xingyi Taijiquan"
The moment the module was installed, Li Yan's expression instantly collapsed.
This mod doesn't even have any new crafting lists! There is no new creation!
Only one skill book has been unlocked!
And the whole mod has and only has the content of such a skill book.
"It's a waste mod in a Level 2 achievement! Even this thing is out! β
Li Yan didn't know whether to be angry or disappointed, let alone what he was expecting just now.
6 achievement points in exchange for a swaggering so-called modern national art, this wave is simply a blood loss.
In line with the principle of unlocking it, don't waste it, Li Yan used this skill book with the last trace of expectation.
The next moment, the skill book turned into some knowledge such as Li Yan's mind, and the words "Mixed Yuan Xingyi Taijiquan Lv.1:0/1" also popped up in Li Yan's command window.
"What the hell was I expecting......"
Li Yan muttered to himself in "My World".
"Marketing monetization skills, eighteen tricks to deceive, how to exercise the thickness of your skin, pine cones shake lightning whips, hair ...... ...... of Tai Chi basic capacity skills"
Li Yan felt the pile of miscellaneous knowledge in his mind, and he couldn't wait to pour it out and turn it back into a skill book, and then throw it into the hell portal, as if he had never seen this modern national art module in his life!
The devil knows why the most common skills in a skill book that has been named as a modern national art are marketing monetization and deception?
The more Li Yan browsed the knowledge in his mind, the more his mentality exploded.
Suddenly, Li Yan seemed to have found something different in a pile of waste knowledge.
Tai Chi basic capacity skills!
Will this horse master still do this thing in the future?
Although this seems to be a somewhat effective capacity skill, which only accounts for one percent of the capacity of the skill book, Li Yan found that this is really a serious Tai Chi capacity skill after careful feeling.
"Could it be that Master Cheng Ma is still a little expected?"
Li Yan, who felt that his 6 achievement points were not completely lost, whitewashed Master Ma in his heart, and then tried to use this hellish mixed yuan Xingyi Taijiquan.
Of course, Li Yan was not trying to prevent Master Ma from going crazy, he just used that part of the Tai Chi basic transportation skills to draw a few circles.
In the next moment, Li Yan's experience bar decreased a little, and the experience of Mixed Yuan Xingyi Taijiquan increased a little.
"Mixed Yuan Xingyi Taijiquan Lv2:0/2"
This damn mixed element Xingyi Taijiquan has actually been upgraded!
Li Yan felt that he knew a little more about Taijiquan.
It's just that this thing has extremely serious side effects!
Li Yan felt that he had mastered the strange knowledge of marketing monetization and deception.
"Absolutely!"
Li Yan shook his head, trying to forget about these miscellaneous things, just wanting to get rid of the ninety-nine percent of the dregs of the Mixed Yuan Xingyi Taijiquan and leave the pitiful one percent of the essence.
It's a pity that after recalling the Tai Chi skills a little, the experience bar will automatically rise a little in the next moment, and the mixed yuan Xingyi Tai Chi will be upgraded again, and Li Yan's mastery of pit deception will go to the next level.
"I ...... Gan! β
Li Yan simply gave up temporarily and withdrew from "My World"
Now Li Yan just wants to know, which god would be so boring and have nothing to do to make this kind of inexplicable mod!
Aren't those serious national arts fragrant? Why do you have to mess with this kind of mess.
Li Yan couldn't help but complain, of course, Li Yan also knew that when his achievement level was increased a few more times in the future, he would definitely encounter serious national arts mods, martial arts mods, etc.
Now the reason why he will be disgusted by the Mixed Yuan Xingyi Taijiquan is that his achievement level is too low and he can't unlock too high-level mods.
Exiting "My World", Li Yan returned to his house all the way from Tiangongfang.
Having just experienced the devastation of Master Ma's rich theories, Li Yan was in no mood to go to Tiangong Academy for the time being.
After returning to the mansion, Li Yan put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, returned to "My World", took out his ender eye, continued to find the direction of the Ming Underground Palace, and quickly approached the end portal.
β¦β¦
At the same time, in the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin was staring at a few recitals, his brows furrowed from time to time.
It can be seen that Li Shimin is in a very bad mood now, and it can even be said that he is on the verge of anger.
"Tuguhun and Xue Yantuo actually refused to call the ministers a tribute! Is it possible that I will fight until they are not successful! β
Li Shimin slapped his table irritably.
What he had just read was the post-war affairs that the DPRK and Chinese officials were responsible for.
Tuguhun and Xue Yantuo each lost tens of thousands of troops after the defeat, but the two families seemed to have communicated well, and they were resolutely unwilling to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and even refused to compensate the Tang Dynasty for the losses in this battle.
How can this be the posture of a defeated country? This is clearly a provocation to Datang!
This is forcing Datang to send troops to war!
However, does the current Datang really have the ability to go on the expedition?
According to Li Shimin's reaction, it can be seen that there is obviously not.
The current situation of Datang can probably be described in four words, a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, that is, everything is developing in a good direction, but Datang has not yet entered the real prosperous stage.
But with today's treasury distance, it is still quite empty.
Although the first potatoes were harvested, the imperial court did not collect a large amount of agricultural taxes to fill the void in the treasury.
Instead, Lee Se-min chose to use almost all of the harvested potatoes as seeds, and began to grow them in large quantities in the Gyeonggi region, centering on them.
In other words, it will take at least a year or so for these potatoes to be converted into food reserves.
Datang's recent tax revenue actually comes from the regular agricultural and commercial taxes of various provinces, prefectures, and counties.
Tuguhun and Xue Yantuo obviously saw this clearly, and recognized that it was impossible for Datang to have the strength to go out to fight in the near future, so they would show such an arrogant attitude.
"Eh, Wang De, Xuan Li Jing came to see me."
Li Shimin was a little helpless, so he could only call Li Jing to discuss state affairs.
Not long after, Li Jing entered the palace and met Li Shimin.
"Minister Li Jing, I have seen Your Majesty."
"No courtesy."
"Tuguhun and Xue Yantuo are unwilling to pay tribute and compensate for the losses of the Tang Dynasty in this battle, what do you think, pharmacist?"
Li Shimin went straight to the point, and while asking questions, he handed the recital of Honglu Temple to Li Jing.
When Li Jing heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and after reading the book, his brows wrinkled even more.
"Your Majesty, this move of Tuguhun and Xue Yantuo is to ignore the prestige of our Tang Dynasty, if my Tang Dynasty does not send troops to fight, it will damage the prestige of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Jing's words are very straightforward, you must fight! If they don't fight, then these two countries will inevitably become more and more arrogant, and it will even affect the attitude of other neighboring countries towards Datang.
"Does the pharmacist have a good plan?"
Li Shimin naturally knows how to fight, but his biggest headache is how to fight.
After all, now Datang is short of money and food, and it can't support a large-scale national war at all.
Unless the Northern Expedition at the beginning of the year can be replicated again, once the war breaks out, Datang will easily have a situation where the war is generally fought and the money and food cannot be sustained.
"Back to Your Majesty, after the previous battle, Xue Yantuo's troops have lost more than three-thirds, and the Tang Dynasty can send strong troops to set off from the Monan grassland, cross the mountain, and take the hinterland of Xue Yantuo, if there are elite soldiers with them, it will be decided in a battle."
In terms of tactics alone, Li Jing's judgment was perfect.
After the previous battle, due to Li Yan's sudden arrival, Xue Yantuo's army lost its commander without preparation, and then more than 40,000 people were killed and wounded under the counterattack of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, now the south and north of the desert have become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which means that the Tang army can enter the hinterland of Xue Yantuo from any point in the three directions of Jiluo Mountain, Junji Mountain, and Zhuoyi Mountain.
Jiluo Mountain, which is handed over to the original Turkic territory, is an excellent place to send troops, which can go straight to the hinterland of Xue Yantuo, and even hope to reproduce the battle at the beginning of the year, directly take the Yi Nan Department, and capture the Yi Nan Khan alive.
"Where's Tu Gu Hun?"
Li Shimin did not go deeper, but asked a slightly embarrassing question for Li Jing.
Li Jing was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Your Majesty, it is difficult for the Tang army to adapt to the Tuguhun climate, and if it is not for the strong attack of hundreds of thousands of troops, it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to take it." β
Li Jing told the truth, Tuguhun is located on the plateau, and the Tang army is weak when it arrives, and if there is no absolute overwhelming superiority in troops, the Tang Dynasty will definitely not be able to send troops easily.
After listening to Li Jing's words, Li Shimin carefully calculated Datang's treasury reserves.
Due to the recent increase in commercial taxes in the Gyeonggi region, and the fact that Fengju, a magical prefecture that has contributed as much tax revenue as several upper states with the power of a single lower state, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is now able to support a medium-sized short-term war.
Therefore, in this case, Li Shimin will naturally have thoughts and want to use Xue Yantuo to establish his authority.
"If I let you lead an army of 30,000 to attack Xue Yantuo, how sure are you?"
Li Shimin asked a serious question, and only hoped that Li Jing would give a 10% answer.
However, how can this be 100% certain!
It must be known that Xue Yantuo's standing strength is definitely more than 100,000, even if the previous accident caused Xue Yantuo to suffer heavy losses, but with 30,000 troops to attack Xue Yantuo, this is still a small number of enemies.
Li Jing really wanted to ask, is it true that Datang has fought too many wars with fewer victories recently? The emperor swelled?
Is it so easy to win more with less?
Li Jing didn't need to speak, Li Shimin understood what he meant.
"Eh, maybe, I'm naΓ―ve."
Li Shimin shook his head and decisively admitted his mistake.
He, Li Shimin, is not an idiot, he is the King of Qin who had the ability to conquer the world back then, even if he becomes the emperor now, he will not lose his war literacy.
At this moment, Li Shimin rarely gave birth to a trace of loneliness, since he took charge of the Tang Dynasty, wars and natural disasters have not stopped, and now he is a little powerless in the face of the provocations of Tuguhun and Xue Yantuo......
Could it be that this is God's punishment for this brother murderer and father prisoner?
Li Shimin became less emotional for a while, and began to be depressed for a short time.
"Your Majesty, in fact, Datang is not without a chance ......"
Li Jing looked at Li Shimin's expression and was not very comfortable, this emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how could he be lonely because of these things!
A figure flashed in Li Jing's mind, a figure who dared to rush into the army alone.
In Li Jing's heart, he has a unique judgment on this figure - one person can defeat 100,000 troops!
When Li Shimin was worried, he could only give his opinion tentatively.
"If Li Yan, the prince of Wannian County, is willing to participate in the war, the minister is ten percent sure that he will take Xue Yantuo in one fell swoop."
Li Jing finally said it, he believed that as long as Li Yan was willing to make a move, then the difference in the number of people between the other party and Datang would no longer exist.
One man can defeat 100,000 troops!
This is by no means a joke, in Li Jing's heart, as long as Li Yan is there, then Datang is not a weak party, counting Li Yan who can top 100,000, Xue Yantuo still owes Datang tens of thousands of troops.
All in all, Li Jing was full of enigmatic trust in Li Yan after seeing Li Yan's personal force that was enough to dominate the war......
"Li Yan?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he was stunned.
You must know that it was he who agreed to Li Yan's resignation and retirement!
It was his brain that was hot at the beginning, and he agreed that from now on, Li Yan would not enter the court, not ask about the court, and be a free marquis alone......
At this moment, an emotion called regret filled Li Shimin's mind again.
Li Shimin now only thinks:
"It would have been nice if I hadn't agreed......"
"If Li Yan is still in the court, and I want him to fight whichever country he wants, he has to go to which country......"
"Isn't this a credit for the Tang Dynasty's expansion of territory? In this way, I will be able to calm down the discussion of others more easily in the future, so that you can recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors......"
Li Shimin talked to himself frantically in his heart, and finally all kinds of complicated emotions turned into a sigh.
"Eh......"
After sighing, Li Shimin seemed to have made up his mind.
"No! I must let you make an immortal achievement! β
"What is a mere wolf Juxu! In the future, I want to let the world know that my son is far superior to the champion of the great man! β
Li Shimin's eyes gradually became firm, he wanted to run in person and let Li Yan out of the mountain in person!
"Pharmacist, come with me to Li Yan's mansion! I'm going to ask him to do it myself! β
