Chapter 19: The Warrior Shows His Might
Wenyi was a little confused, Shu'er hurriedly got up with a red face, and ran towards the inner room without saying a word. Amused the eldest grandson. Wenyi also blushed: "The boy and Shu'er are still young, and they don't understand the affairs of men and women now, so it's better to talk about it a few years later." ”
The eldest grandson smiled: "Since you don't object, let's talk about it a few years later, it's really early now." Then he sighed and said: "Shu'er has a hard life, and before she was born, her father has passed away, and she has been raised by King Qin since she was a child. I took her like my own flesh and blood, and the King of Qin spoiled her to the sky, everything went along with her, and the same is true for marriage, and some families also proposed to the King of Qin, but they were all rejected by the King of Qin, saying that she had to find a suitable Langjun by herself. I think she's interesting to you. ”
Wenyi sat there embarrassed and had nothing to say, so he could only giggle there. The eldest grandson told him Shu'er's life story in detail. It turned out that Shu'er was the daughter of the legendary Li Yuanba in "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", but Li Yuanba died of illness shortly after getting married. Li Shimin and Li Yuanba are siblings, and their relationship is extremely good, so they took Shu'er to the house to raise them personally, as if they were their own.
The eldest grandson chatted with Wenyi for a while, until he felt a little sleepy, and then sent Wenyi away.
At this time, Chang'an City was already lively. Everywhere is spreading that "King Qin cared for the people, invented printing and papermaking magic, and could make millions of pieces of paper and print 100,000 books a day." "King Qin pre-printed a large number of books, but he had more than enough heart and insufficient strength, so he wanted to announce these two technologies to the world, hoping that the major families who understood the righteousness could help." ...
In the Cui family meeting room, Cui Zhongting sat in the main seat, and below sat the heads of major families who supported Li Jiancheng. It is also the main force for this boycott of Li Shimin. Cui Zhongting saw that everyone had arrived, so he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are rumors today that King Qin wants to announce the papermaking and printing technology, I don't know what your opinions are?" ”
Wang Changyi of the Wang clan in Shanxi said: "Brother Cui, the foolish brother thinks that this is the Qin King's delaying tactic, and controlling paper and books can control the world's readers, how dare he announce such an important technology?" He must have tried to confuse us, and I heard that he had begun to rebuild the printing house, and if we were fooled by it, he would be able to build it well. ”
Everyone also knew the importance of paper and printing, and they all thought that it was impossible for Li Shimin to publish it, which would not do him any good.
In the end, everyone decided to wait and see for a while, if there was no other news about the printing plant, and continue to coerce Li Shimin to hand over the paper mill.
The reaction of the crowd was transmitted to the eldest grandson Wuji and the Literature and Art Department. Wenyi said with a smile: "A group of mentally handicapped, Uncle Changsun, now that I have repaired a printing press, I will immediately have people print 100,000 articles about the profits of papermaking and the benefits of printing books, and I will send them all over Chang'an tomorrow morning." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded in agreement, turned around and went to explain the task. Literature and art lie on a rocking chair and bask in the sun. These few times, Shu'er didn't know what was going on, she didn't come to annoy literature and art every day as usual, and literature and art were also happy to be leisurely, and enjoy the high-end life of the ancient feudal aristocracy.
This time, the atmosphere in the conference hall of Cui Zhongting was obviously no longer as harmonious as last time, and it seemed more dull. Cui Zhongting took out a leaflet that was thrown at the door this morning, and said, "Everyone, King Qin has made another move, what should we do?" ”
Wang Changyi said: "King Qin's skills are poor, he led his troops to the battle, he was afraid that we would make trouble for him here, so he used this trick to stabilize us, everyone has a million books at home, and they must know how high the cost of printing books is, how can they print so many books so easily?" The foolish brother sees that now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just been defeated, and now he is in danger, it is better to wait for King Qin to stabilize the battle situation first, and then we will make a plan. ”
After some discussion, everyone left, but everyone looked strange at this meeting, and they didn't know what they were planning.
When they returned to their respective homes, they all sent people to the Qin Wangfu to inquire about the specific news, and if it was really as profitable as the leaflet said, it was necessary to think about it.
Public opinion in Chang'an is fermenting step by step according to the plan of literature and art. Having said that, Li Shimin led the troops to Yucheng to rescue Li Jiancheng. After analyzing the battle situation, Li Shimin decided not to directly lead his troops to Yucheng to assist him in defending the city according to Li Jiancheng's order, but to make a detour to raid Changshui. Wang Shichong's commander was his third brother Wang Shiwei, who led 30,000 troops to surround Yucheng. But it will take some time to break through the Jade City. Changshui City is in the rear of Wang Shi's great army and is an important supply point. As long as Changshui City is captured, Wang Shiwei will definitely retreat. Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chi Jingde took the lead in attacking the city, and Li Shimin made good arrangements in front of the formation, and broke through Changshui in only five days. Send someone to inform Li Jiancheng and ask him to flank Wang Shiwei's army before and after when Wang Shiwei withdraws.
Who knew that when Li Shimin's whole army went out of the city to attack Wang Shiwei's army, he did not see Li Jiancheng's army, but the 5,000 cavalry under Wang Shichong's personal command appeared behind it. It turned out that when attacking Changshui City, the guards quickly reported to Wang Shichong and Wang Shiwei. He stubbornly guarded the long water and dragged Li Shimin. Wang Shicheng immediately decided to personally lead the light cavalry to support, the purpose was to take Li Shimin, although Li Jiancheng was the crown prince, but his military ability could not be compared with Li Shimin, and the Tang Dynasty was almost defeated by Li Shimin. As long as Li Shimin and his subordinates are eliminated, Datang will definitely be greatly damaged.
Originally, Wang Shiwei sent 5,000 infantry to prepare to block Li Jiancheng's army to avoid being flanked from front and back, but who knew that Li Jiancheng had no intention of leaving the city at all, and Wang Shiwei was very happy. The whole army assaulted and directly attacked Li Shimin's army head-on. The rear army was scattered by Wang Shichong's light cavalry, and Li Shimin was forced to retreat to an unknown hill. Wang Shichong ordered the siege to be encircled, and said that as long as someone could get Li Shimin's head, he would seal the country and reward him with 10,000 gold. His soldiers rushed upwards as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Li Shimin is in a desperate situation!
When the messenger told the news to the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji was furious, directly overturned the table, drew his sword and was about to summon the generals to the rescue. Wenyi hurriedly stopped and said, "Uncle Eldest Sun, calm down!" Calm down! You still need to guard the palace now, since the prince can make a move to send his brother to death, he will send someone to kill all the family members of the palace and rescue His Royal Highness, the safety of the palace is a great responsibility, and Uncle Changsun must guard it! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was anxious: "Your little baby can't have a gun, how can you save His Highness if you can't hold a knife?" I also know that the safety of the palace is a great responsibility, but the life and death of His Royal Highness is even more important! ”
Wenyi said: "The kid really doesn't know martial arts, but the kid researched some good things a few days ago, and he absolutely guarantees to save His Highness with all his mustaches and tails." Rest assured. After that, he called Wen Yi over and said: "Quickly return to 'Hope' and order Wen Liu to equip the 'Warrior' with four 'Wen Liu' machine guns, bring enough ammunition, and I will wait for him outside Chang'an City." Let Wen Ba add two spare fuel tanks to the 'Warrior', all of them full of gasoline, and this time we will go to Changshui to rescue His Highness. Hurry up! ”
Wen Yi was ordered to ride back on a fast horse to prepare. Wenyi briefly explained to the eldest grandson Wuji that he would stay in the palace with peace of mind, and he went to Wangniupo to wait for Wen Liu. 'Warrior' is the name given to the off-road vehicle by Wenyi, and 'Wenliu Machine Gun' is the Makqin machine gun, which is inconvenient to use a foreign name in Datang, Wenliu is an extremely talented guy with firearms, this machine gun literature and art only gave him drawings and no longer asked, but he didn't expect it to be really made by him, and Wenyi named it 'Wenliu Machine Gun' after him. A total of eight planes are used for the defense of 'Hope', and this time Wenyi will take four planes.
In the second half of the night, Wenyi was woken up by the roar of the car, shook his head, cleared his head, and drove straight to Changshui after carefully checking the weapons and fuel in the car. This time, we went with Wen 6, Wen 18, 19, and 20. Several of them are sensitive to firearms, and now they have mastered the operation method of the 'Wen Liu Machine Gun'. Several people were very excited, this was the first time they had used a machine gun on the battlefield, and they wondered if they could "have no standing enemies wherever the machine gun went" as they had imagined.
The journey of 300 miles is very easy for the warriors, and before dawn they have arrived at the top of the mountain where Li Shimin is, Wen 20 went down to reconnoitre, and reported: "There are about 30,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry at the foot of the mountain, three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, and the defense is very strict, surrounded on all sides, and the mountain is surrounded by water. Can only be attacked. ”
Wenyi nodded and said, "You four bastards, you've been carrying machine guns all the way." Now that you're going to officially start working, won't you drop the chain? ”
Wen Liu said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, we are already handy at playing this, you can drive directly to the top of the mountain." ”
Wenyi was also very nervous at this time, after all, this was the first time in his life that he went back to the battlefield, and he always had an urge to pee. Start the warriors, hang up the gear, Wen Liu, they opened the window, stretched out the machine gun and fixed it, the co-pilot faced forward, the back seat left and right, the rear windshield was removed, Wen 20 also put one, fixed the body and machine gun, and gave a report to Wenyi. As soon as the headlights were turned on, and with one foot of the accelerator, the warriors flew out and rushed straight to Wang Shichong's military camp.
The soldiers patrolling under Wang Shichong were shocked when they saw two bright lights suddenly shooting in front of them, and hurriedly shouted: "There is something strange ahead!" Just as they panicked, a barrage of fire erupted from Bunroku's machine gun. Countless bullets erupted, and more than a dozen people fell in an instant. The warrior roared and slammed away from the horse, and slaughtered into the barracks without hindrance. The four machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the soldiers were completely panicked, and the black light blinded the fire, and only two lights shot out of front of a black shadow, and fire was spewing fire on all sides, and countless soldiers fell to the ground inexplicably, and many of their heads exploded out of thin air. For a time the barracks were disrupted. Wang Shichong received the report, and the herald's face turned pale, and he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, suddenly a monster with a pair of eyes like a torch rushed into the barracks, rampage, and all the surrounding soldiers were killed inexplicably. ”
Wang Shichong was furious and said: "Demons confuse the public, where will there be monsters? It must be Li Shimin's reinforcements, and he ordered the whole army to encircle and suppress, and all the reinforcements must be annihilated! Little did he know that his words would inflict even heavier casualties on the army!
The drums of war sounded, and Wang Shichong's army began to assemble and kill towards literature and art. The power of the machine gun is actually that these flesh and blood can block the ground? Come as much as you want to die. There were not even any soldiers who could get close to the warriors, and all of them were killed twenty paces away.
