Chapter Forty-Eight: War Is Coming

Wen Erba and Wen Sanwu were ecstatic, nodding their heads to promise to take care of the two tiger cubs with absolute care, so that they could experience the love from their father!

In this way, the three of them played with the Huahua family until the beginning of April. Wang Tianhu has already arrived at Niangzi Pass and is currently stationed in the old forest hundreds of miles away.

Wenyi secretly transported the princess's armor and weapons back to Princess Pingyang's mansion. Princess Pingyang was very satisfied after trying it on, and rewarded countless gold and silver jewels on the spot. Wenyi smiled and refused: "Your Highness, the money boy doesn't dare to accept it, but there is a reluctant request to ask His Highness to agree." ”

Princess Pingyang smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Wen Yi saluted and said: "Although Wen Erba is a guard given to the boy by His Royal Highness the Prince, the boy has always been regarded as his own brother. He is also a talent, a good son with courage and resourcefulness. In the past few days, it has been love at first sight with your subordinate and the maid Sword Girl, and the two are happy. So the boy wanted to ask the princess to allow them to get married. ”

Princess Pingyang nodded and said: "The sword has already told me about this matter, and I don't object to it, but the sword's request must be known to you, as long as Wen Erba can meet the sword's requirements, I will marry the sword." ”

Wen Yi said happily: "I will live up to the expectations of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

Princess Pingyang said again: "Let's not mention the matter of the children, my letter to the second brother has been replied, he said that you can help me defend the Niangzi Pass?" ”

Wenyi nodded and said: "Well, His Royal Highness the Prince has sent three hundred people to help His Highness, and they are currently stationed in the jungle a hundred miles away, and they can be used as a hidden force to deal a heavy blow to the Turks at a critical moment!" ”

Princess Pingyang was curious: "Three hundred? Too little, right? Are they all Xuanjia cavalry? ”

Wen Yi shook his head and said: "No, they are the strongest army of His Royal Highness King Qin, with a total number of five hundred people, His Royal Highness the Prince is worried that the princess sent three hundred people at one time, Your Highness should not underestimate these three hundred people." It was this army that went to Luoyang to rescue the generals who were captured by Wang Xuanying, and only fifty people were sent at that time. ”

Princess Pingyang's eyes lit up, and she said eagerly: "Can you let me go and see what this army looks like?" ”

Wenyi thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, wait a minute, the kid can't be the master of this matter, let the kid ask His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Princess Pingyang hurriedly said: "Wouldn't you ask the second brother to waste more than ten days?" ”

Wenyi shook his head and said, "A moment is fine." I can't explain how to forgive the boy. ”

Princess Pingyang's fire of women's gossip was blazing, and she grabbed literature and art and said: "No, I have to know now, it's about the military plane, and you can't be lazy for a moment!" ”

Wenyi was roughly grabbed by Princess Pingyang by the collar and didn't dare to break free, so she had to shout outside the door: "Erba, go and get the walkie-talkie and antenna and set it up!" ”

Wen Erba, who was on call at the door, answered and flew to the guest room of literature and art. After a while, the antenna was set up on the house, and the walkie-talkie was handed to Wenyi. The literary thief glanced at Princess Pingyang awkwardly, and then said to the walkie-talkie: "His Royal Highness King Qin, there is something to report to you in literature and art." ”

After a while, a voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Xiaoyi, I'm Qin Wu, Your Highness is still handling official business in Shangshu Province, do you need to notify Your Highness immediately if you have any urgent matters?" ”

Wenyi glanced at Princess Pingyang and said, "There's nothing urgent, it's just that Her Royal Highness the princess wants to chat with King Qin." Just wait for His Highness to come back and talk to him. ”

Qin Wu replied: "Okay, salute Her Royal Highness the princess for me, I'll hang up first." ”

As soon as Wenyi put down the walkie-talkie, Princess Pingyang impatiently picked it up and studied it carefully. She couldn't figure out how this small rectangular box could communicate directly with Chang'an, which was thousands of miles away.

Princess Pingyang asked Wenyi while tinkering with the walkie-talkie, "What is this?" It can spread sound for thousands of miles! Wouldn't it be convenient to use it to convey military information? ”

Wenyi smiled: "This is a walkie-talkie, it was made by the kid accidentally, the walkie-talkie alone can achieve timely communication within eight hundred miles, if it exceeds this range, you have to use the signal amplifier, it is the one that the kid just let Wen Erba stand on the roof." ”

Princess Pingyang stared at Wenyi with burning eyes and asked, "I want you to make at least a hundred walkie-talkies?" ”

Wenyi smiled bitterly: "The walkie-talkie is very convenient to use, but it is very troublesome to make, let alone a hundred, and now the kid can't make one." ”

Princess Pingyang was full of regret, and then said without giving up: "How many do you have now?" Leave it all to me, it's a military order! ”

Wenyi hugged his fists and said: "The kid has no official and no position, he can't stand the military order, and the kid has only done three parts, one is in the hands of His Royal Highness King Qin, and one is in the hands of Wang Tianhu." There is no superfluous anymore. ”

Princess Pingyang said, "Who is Wang Tianhu?" Why did he have one? ”

Wen Yi replied: "He is the captain sent by King Qin to assist His Highness this time. You need to use the walkie-talkie to communicate with us at any time. ”

Princess Pingyang sighed: "It's a pity, why didn't you take out such a treasure earlier?" Do you know that the transmission of military intelligence is now faster than ten days, and the slow transmission is more than a month, and many fighters are delayed because the transmission of information is too slow. ”

Wenyi nodded and said: "The kid knows, but the kid's ability is limited, and now he can't do anything." ”

Princess Pingyang seemed to remember something and asked, "Why don't you give this thing to your father?" But give it to the second brother to use secretly? ”

Wenyi pondered for a moment and replied: "Your Highness, at that time, the Tang Dynasty was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and most of the people in the court were children of families, if I dedicate this thing to Your Majesty, I believe that it will be passed on to the enemy in less than a year." If such a sharp weapon cannot be absolutely in his own hands, the kid is willing to seal it forever. ”

Princess Pingyang took a sip of tea to ease her chaotic mood, and then spoke: "Indeed, there are no secrets in the court at all, and I believe that even the second brother should not know much, right?" ”

Wenyi nodded and said, "Only the King of Qin, the princess and his personal guard Qin Wu know. I also ask Your Highness to continue to keep it a secret for us, this matter is very important. ”

Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't say it, this walkie-talkie will continue to be put on you, but you must give it to me when I need to use it!" ”

Literature and art reluctantly agreed. The two chatted about the walkie-talkie again, and only after an hour did they hear Li Shimin's voice coming from the walkie-talkie: "Xiaoyi, my eldest sister is looking for me?" ”

Wenyi handed the walkie-talkie to Princess Pingyang and motioned for her to reply to Li Shimin in person.

Princess Pingyang carefully pressed the call button and said, "Second brother? ”

Li Shimin replied: "Eldest sister, it's me, what's the matter?" ”

Princess Pingyang said: "I want Wenyi to take me to see the troops you sent, I'm curious." ”

Li Shimin was silent for a while and said: "Eldest sister, I haven't hidden anything from you since I was a child, since you want to see it, just ask the eldest sister not to leak their existence." ”

Princess Pingyang asked, "Isn't my father okay too?" ”

Li Shimin stopped talking, and Wenyi interjected at this time: "Your Highness, this army is the foundation of King Qin, and even the princess doesn't know it. ”

Princess Pingyang said heavily: "I know, second brother, are you okay in Chang'an now?" I know that the ministers of the DPRK and China are suppressing you now. My father was also quite jealous of them. ”

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Eldest sister, don't worry, I am Shang Shuling now, and those people are not taken to my heart." I'm very relaxed now, and I can go home every day with a few clicks, and I'm at ease. ”

Although Li Shimin said it easily, the helpless sadness can be experienced thousands of miles away. Princess Pingyang sighed, she was helpless about this matter, after all, it was about the prince, and it was not only the battle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, but also the battle between the family and the new forces, she only had 50,000 troops in Niangziguan, and she had no right to speak in the court, and she was powerless to help.

Wenyi looked at the posture and knew that the sister and brother were going to talk about some private matters, so he quietly withdrew from the room, pulled Wen Erba and ran out of the distance and said obscenely: "Erba, how do you say you want to thank me?" It took me a lot of effort to convince the princess to agree to you and the sword, and I paid a great deal of price for it! ”

Wen Erba waved excitedly and said: "Thank you young master, in the future, I will rely on the young master's words when I go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, and I will never frown!" ”

While Literature and Art and Wen Erba were chattering in the corner, the Turkic Khan Jieli was sitting in a big tent with high spirits, and countless steppe tribe leaders gathered below. Jie Lizhi said proudly: "Ben Khan summoned you here this time to discuss the matter of going south. Datang has just gone through a major war, and now the army is empty, it is a good time for us to go south. I seem to see a lot of beautiful women, gold and silver beckoning to us! Heroes of the grassland, would you like to go to Datang with me to get some grain, gold and silver? Look at the children on the grassland now are hungry, you see that our soldiers have found a daughter-in-law, let's solve these problems with the saber in our hands! ”

The next Tuli immediately responded: "I am willing to follow the Khan south!" The southerners are rich and weak and can be bullied, and this time they will definitely be able to grab countless food and money! ”

Jieli waved his hand and said, "Hey, what do you mean to rob?" In order to solve the problem that the warriors in the tribe have been single for many years and the children are about to starve to death, we have no choice but to borrow some women and food from the Tang Dynasty. Don't be so barbaric, we are all quality, peace-loving steppe warriors! Off color! Off color! Three glasses of fines! ”

provoked a burst of laughter from everyone, Tuli was not annoyed, and immediately toasted three times before saying: "What the Khan said is reasonable, we just borrow, borrow, hahahaha!" ”

After the two brothers broke up like this, the other tribal leaders were also full of passion, and immediately said that they would send the strongest warriors in their tribe to borrow more food and return. Don't let Datang send someone to escort it!

For a time, Jieli gathered 250,000 horses, of which 50,000 went to Hebei to fight the autumn wind in the name of supporting his brother Liu Heimin. Jieli knew that there was not much oil and water in Hebei, so he only sent 50,000 people, all of whom were coalition troops of some small tribes. The focus is still on Datang! The 200,000 army took Tuli as the vanguard and approached Niangzi Pass!
