Chapter 357: The overall situation has been decided

This person named Mr. Qingzhu, thinking back to what he did at this time, can't help but make people feel cold in the back.

This person is like a snake and scorpion, has been silently hiding in the depths of the darkness, this time, if it is not for these workers, not because of firearms, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Shimin has returned to the inn, where the guard has been strengthened, Li Shimin has taken off his armor, and he is still unsatisfied.

Since becoming the Son of Heaven, the past eventful years seem to be far away from him, and today's impact makes him seem to have returned to his youth all of a sudden.

Seeing Chen Zhengtai coming in, Li Shimin took a sip of tea: "I finally understand the benefits of firearms." I thought that firearms were inferior to bows and arrows, and they wasted steel, but now I know that the most powerful thing about firearms is that they can immediately make a farmer or ordinary laborer compete with a well-trained cavalry and infantry archers in just a short time. ”

Datang actually has a million military horses.

Of course, the number of people is enough, but in fact...... As far as a military general like Li Shimin is concerned, he knows better than anyone else that the so-called 200,000, 300,000, and even the alleged 1 million troops are actually a small number of real soldiers.

In the Central Plains, there are 100,000 real soldiers, who can almost sweep the world.

This is definitely not an exaggeration, because the vast majority of the so-called armies are actually empty shelves, and it is barely enough for them to suppress thieves, but if they are allowed to really go into battle to kill the enemy, at most, they will just follow the soldiers to fight a good fight.

Because it is not easy to train real soldiers, you need to give them war horses, you need to give them bows and arrows, these are all technical work to some extent, if you want to become a qualified cavalry and archer, not only how many arrows are wasted, but how much feed you need to spend to raise war horses.

The most terrible thing is time, without two years of hard work, it can't be scaled, even if there are some people who are talented, but the vast majority of people rely on time to get out.

Otherwise, how can the cavalry and foot archers of the Tang Dynasty go out of the customs to face those alien races who have grown up on horseback since childhood.

Recommended,[Source change artifact APP] is really good,It's worth installing.,Android and Apple phones support it!

Therefore, Li Shimin was extremely excited, he didn't care about the power of the firearm and the range, because he knew very well that as long as there was this advantage, then this firearm could be regarded as a Zhenguo artifact.

"And this wooden rail......" Li Shimin's face turned red with excitement, and then said: "With this wooden rail, the foot soldier with a firearm can become a cavalry, where the wooden rail is laid, anyone dares to offend, my Datang riflemen can come morning and evening, all the grain, grass and supplies can be transported by horse-drawn carriages, which is faster than before, I don't know how many times faster." With the least amount of money and food, we can ensure the safety of the wooden tracks along the way, and I, Hanmin, can also build market towns and pastures around these stations...... I finally understand what your Chen family is up to. ”

Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "Your Majesty, Erchen was just thinking nonsense before, but he never thought that he could achieve such a miraculous effect. This...... This ......"

Li Shimin glanced at him: "You don't have to panic, what's the matter, are you still afraid that I will weigh your Chen family's land outside the pass?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Chen Zhengtai laughed dryly.

This guy played a trick, Li Shimin asked him if he was worried about the land of the Chen family outside the Guan, Chen Zhengtai should say that Erchen never thought so. But Chen Zhengtai's answer just didn't dare.

Don't dare, it's worth playing, this is actually saying that such a fact is possible, of course, I, Chen Zhengtai, am more cowardly, so I don't dare to think about it.

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai with a smile, and then said: "Since I have made an order, there is no reason to change it." You are my disciple and my son-in-law, and my Tang Dynasty already needs the emperor's relatives and meritorious ministers to guard the Quartet, how can I take back my life because of the slight benefits of the land outside your pass. ”

Li Shimin said: "The cost of repairing wooden tracks in the desert is also huge, and the Chen family has invested so much money in it, and I have no reason to take back my life." It's just that your firearms need to be made more, and the court will use them in the future. ”

Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as the imperial court dares to place an order, Erpigou will do its best to produce as much as it can." ”

Li Shimin bowed his head, and after he was overjoyed, his face immediately became solemn: "But now, the person named Mr. Qingzhu is really my confidant, I think about it, but I still can't imagine who this Mr. Qingzhu is." This person will not be eliminated for a day, he is colluding with the Turks today, and tomorrow, it may be Goguryeo and Donghu, this person has been in contact with various ethnic groups in the desert since the beginning of the Qiming Khan, which shows the depth of his foundation. What's more, he can listen to the secrets of the palace, and it can be seen that this person is very important in the Central Plains. If such a person cannot be uprooted, it will be difficult for me to sleep. But I thought about it, but I still wasn't sure, I guess who this person is, you have always been smart, let's talk about it. ”

"Your Majesty." Chen Zhengtai said: "Erchen has a way to find out this person. ”

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai suspiciously: "Huh? Let's talk about it. ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty has ever thought about why this person sent a message to the Turks and asked them to intercept and kill Your Majesty?" ”

Li Shimin paced back and forth with his hands behind his back: "Such a person is scheming and will never do anything unfavorable to him." The so-called no profit is not early, what good can he do if he kills me? ”

Chen Zhengtai's eyebrows fluttered and said: "The crux of the matter is here, if Your Majesty is captured by the Turks, or Your Majesty dies on the grassland, what good can he do." When the time comes...... Who will get the most out of it? So...... Erchen thought that he wanted to show this person's true form...... There is a way to do it. ”

"You say." Li Shimin looked anxious, and Chen Zhengtai was really a little verbose.

Chen Zhengtai said with a grudge on his face: "It's not that the student deliberately wants water, no, deliberately wants to be verbose, really, if the student doesn't say it carefully, His Majesty will inevitably blame the student for not being clear and not understanding, in the end, don't you still want to scold the student for being bloody." Anyway, if you want to be scolded, it's better to say more. ”

Li Shimin's face twitched, he thought about it carefully, and Chen Zhengtai said another nonsense.

Immediately, Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "This Mr. Qingzhu, since he has made a plan, then he must be in control of victory at this time, otherwise, he will never make a move easily." People like this are full of self-confidence. Therefore, he thought that his arrangement would be successful. But he missed one thing, that is, the Turks died, and the more than 10,000 Turkic iron horsemen, under the wise leadership of His Majesty, had been beaten and discarded. So...... If we are wrong, we will be wrong, this time...... We banned news inside and outside the border, and then ...... Sent someone to Guanzhong to report the news, and said that His Majesty had been besieged by the Turks and was in danger, and then rumors spread out, and His Majesty was actually ...... at this time."

Li Shimin frowned, he understood what Chen Zhengtai meant.

If...... At this time, someone told Mr. Qingzhu that everything was as he expected, and Li Shimin had an accident, would he be suspicious? Such a person must be scheming, but he will never be suspicious, because he knows very well that this is a clever memory he has arranged, and such a person will inevitably be full of confidence and will not doubt others.

"You mean, convince him of that, and then ...... Look at this person in Chang'an, what will he do? ”

"Exactly." Chen Zhengtai said solemnly: "Once there are any rumors on His Majesty's side, he will definitely continue to plan impatiently and make the most beneficial arrangements for him, because only in this way will the Turkic interception and killing of His Majesty arranged by him be meaningful." Otherwise, even if something happens to His Majesty, what can he gain for him? His Majesty and his sons and daughters are temporarily outside the gate, watching from the wall, and I believe that soon, this person will slowly surface. ”

Li Shimin seemed a little hesitant, Chen Zhengtai's plan is indeed no problem, the only problem is that if this news comes out, it will inevitably cause a shock in the world.

It's just that......

Li Shimin squinted his eyes, his eyes closed one by one, obviously, he was extremely confident in himself.

So, after a short hesitation, Li Shimin immediately decided: "In the name of the Turkic rebellion, immediately close the border towns and passes everywhere...... I'm with you...... We'll see. As for me and you, I simply ...... I continued to go north, went to Shuofang for a walk, and I inspected and looked at the ...... Who is Mr. Aotake? ”

Chen Zhengtai is now scratching his heart with a hundred claws, in fact, he knows very well in his heart that this is a bad idea, on the surface, he can find people out, but in fact, not to mention that the other party is not hooked. There is also a worrying problem that when such a news comes out, I am afraid that the entire Chang'an will become a mess.

The two monarchs and ministers, you and I have a word, and the plan is roughly set, and Li Shimin suddenly remembered something: "Those Turks, how to deal with them?" ”

"It's also easy, they rebel repeatedly, they must not be indulged, it is better to temporarily hand over these people to Erchen to deal with, and Erchen will definitely be able to dispose of them properly."

Li Shimin bowed his head: "That's it." ”

He doesn't want to care about these idle things outside the Guan, Chen Zhengtai now knows everything about the outside of the Guan, and the Chen family has gradually infiltrated the grassland, the so-called employment is not suspicious, and the suspicious people are not needed, so he is too lazy to ask.

………………

In this remote Buddhist temple, there is a small Ming Hall.

There are many Buddha statues enshrined in the Ming Hall, and at this time, an old man is only wearing sackcloth, sitting cross-legged, the Ming Hall is dim, and the face of the old man cannot be seen.

It's just in the glimmer, but you can see the light refracted in the old man's eyes, this is a pair of indescribable eyes, looking at the Buddha statue's eyes, with piety, with indescribable complexity, but also vaguely revealing a disgust for the world.

He seemed to be pondering, in this small bright hall, he sat for a long, long time, in this darkness, as if it had become a small world, in this world, only this pious old man, and the Buddha communicated something in the dark.

A few hours later, there were small footsteps outside the Ming Hall.

Someone coughs outside.

The old man also coughed a few times.

He was obviously very old, so old that when he came back from the fugue, he couldn't help but breathe unevenly, and his voice was tired and hoarse: "What's the matter?

Outside the lone lamp, you can shine on the figure of the person outside, the figure is arched, even if the old man doesn't see him, he also maintains a respectful appearance.

The man said cautiously: "Xianggong, there is an urgent news coming, it is news from the grassland. ”

"Oh." The old man only said lightly: "Really? ”

Silent.

After a brief silence.

The person who bowed outside the Ming Hall said cautiously: "The matter ...... It's done. ”

"It's done...... the old man muttered, and then he said slowly: "Li Erlang is dead or alive." ”

"The person who is in a hurry, the news from the place is ...... He was surrounded by more than 10,000 Turkic horsemen alone, and it was difficult to fly, so he ...... Although life and death are unpredictable, but ...... I'm afraid I'll never be able to go back to Guanzhong. ”

The old man seemed very calm, as if he had expected this ending.

So...... Only he was calm, breathing evenly, without excitement or emotion, and he said flatly: "In this way...... Changan...... It's going to be messy, so let's ...... It's time for a good show. The Emperor must have been very depressed all these years. ”

The people who bowed outside were silent, and they didn't dare to come out, and in this world, few people mentioned the emperor.
