The letters written by Ang Lee and Ero to the king of the lion kingdom were sent to the lion king city successively, of course, the process of sending the letter was handled by the envoys of the lion kingdom, and only in this way could the letter be delivered to the hands of the king of the lion kingdom kulam as soon as possible.

In the direction of the Lion Country, King Coolam has been paying close attention to the situation in the direction of Nantianzhu, especially the Tang fleet moored in the harbor, which is the focus of their close attention, because the three thousand Tang soldiers and horses have been stationed in the small city of the port, for this reason, the place where the Tang soldiers and horses are stationed has also become the focus of their patronage.

Anyway, many Tang Dynasty soldiers can find some suspicious people around the camp from time to time, but because they can't determine their identities, they can't do anything to these people.

These suspicious people are the meticulous works of the Lion Country, and their purpose is very clear, that is, to find out the equipment and strength of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses, so that they can know how to fight.

The equipment of these 3,000 Tang soldiers and horses is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary small countries, but it is not the main force led by Li An, it is just an ordinary ordinary soldier and horse, and the advanced weapons equipped are all sophisticated cold weapons, and there are no powerful artillery weapons, so there should be no ability to cause panic in the Lion Country.

"Your Majesty, the situation of the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty has been investigated clearly, the reality is not as powerful as the merchants boasted, the soldiers and horses of my Lion Country are completely capable of defeating them, however, the steam ships of the Tang Dynasty are indeed very large, much larger than our warships, and it is indeed not easy to fight against them, so it is more reliable to take the method of sneak attack."

A minister in charge of gathering intelligence spoke.

Kulam, the king of the Lion Kingdom, thought for a moment and said: "A sneak attack is indeed the best way, but this will definitely completely anger Datang, I am afraid that Datang will increase troops from the mainland to attack us!" ”

This is the biggest worry of the king of the lion country, Kuram, he is not afraid of the three thousand Tang troops who have arrived, but he is afraid that the Tang army will continue to increase its troops, so that his kingdom will be greatly threatened.

"Your Majesty, Datang is thousands of miles away, it is definitely not an easy thing to send a large team to our Lion Country, as long as we are prepared, we will definitely be able to defeat Datang."

The minister said.

King Kuram nodded and said, "What I said is that if the Tang Dynasty insists on interfering with our Lion Kingdom's occupation of Nantianzhu, then we will have no choice, this is their own fault, no wonder us." ”

"His Majesty the King, the officials of the Tang Dynasty and Hérault, have sent letters one after another."

A chamberlain handed the letter up.

Kurram hurriedly opened it and examined it, and after reading it, he angrily tore up the letter.

"It's so arrogant, he actually asked us to withdraw our troops immediately, otherwise, he will destroy our Lion Country, he only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, why can he have so much confidence? Is this when my lion country is soft persimmon? ”

Kuram was very angry, and at the same time very puzzled, thinking that the Tang officials were crazy and dared to threaten the Lion State, which had tens of thousands of troops.

"Your Majesty, now that the Tang Dynasty has made it clear that it wants to interfere with our occupation of Nantianzhu, what are we waiting for, immediately gather men and horses and eliminate the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses!"

The minister said excitedly.

Kuram nodded and said: "Yes, we must use force as soon as possible to wipe out all the Tang soldiers and horses and the Datang fleet, now, let's study the strategy of attacking!" Tell me about your methods. ”

A minister hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we have already thought about it, advance by land and water, use the cover of night, break through Garigal in one fell swoop, and wipe out all the soldiers and horses of the Tang Army and Nantianzhu, in order to completely destroy them, we must send 20,000 elite soldiers and horses, 300 warships, plus dozens of fireships." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the King, it is a good way to attack by fire and land by water, fire attack and surprise attack, you can easily burn all the huge Tang ships to ashes, and by attacking from both sides of the waterway, you can break through Garigar as soon as possible, wipe out all their soldiers and horses, and then occupy the entire port of Garigar, and then divide your troops to attack the royal city dozens of miles away, and destroy Nantianzhu."

"You deserve to be my good courtiers, this plan is very good, this king completely agrees, however, you must prepare quietly, don't let Nan Tianzhu's spies find out, otherwise, they will prepare in advance, in this way, the effect of our raid will be greatly reduced."

King Coolam earnestly admonished.

The courtier replied, "Your Majesty, don't worry! We will quietly assemble, and within a radius of dozens of miles, the assembly area will be controlled by our patrol boats, and no one can approach, so that it is enough to ensure safety. ”

King Khurram said happily: "Haha! That's great, you hurry up and prepare, and when you're ready, immediately march to Garigar, and wipe out all the hateful Tang soldiers and horses and Nantianzhu soldiers and horses, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will go and prepare, and we will be able to leave in half a day at most."

The minister said happily that they had already made the preliminary preparations, so that the king ordered that they could immediately devote themselves to the preparatory work, and the deployment of the sortie could be completed in a short time.

The soldiers and horses of the Lion Nation were prepared very quickly, worthy of a well-trained elite army, and by the evening they had already prepared.

The waterway army is a force that is not subordinate to each other, the waterway army starts from the mainland of the Lion Country, and the target is the port of Garigar in Tianzhu, while the land army starts from the occupied port of Alambo in South Tianzhu and goes straight to the port of Garigarh by land.

In the eyes of the Lion Nation leadership, as long as these two groups of men and horses successfully meet in Garigar, their combat goal can be fully achieved, and they believe that this goal is not difficult to achieve.

Nan Tianzhu has detailed works in various parts of the Lion Country, responsible for exploring the situation of the Lion Country, especially after the port of Nan Tianzhu was raided, the number of these fine works has increased significantly, in order to better grasp the movements of the Lion Country's soldiers and horses, so as to figure out the next plan of the Lion Country.

There are a large number of small works near the important ports and military camps of the Lion Country, but because the patrols are caught everywhere, especially when the Lion Country is operating, all the idle people in the nearby visual range are driven away and arrested, for this reason, it is difficult for Nan Tianzhu's fine work to obtain enough information, and I don't know what the Lion Country is doing.

However, such a major anomaly was also an important piece of information, and for this reason, it was quickly reported.

The speed of the flying pigeon was very fast, and in a short period of time, Nan Tianzhu learned of the abnormal behavior of the Lion Kingdom and reported it.

When he arrived in the royal city, the king of Nantianzhu, Eero, obtained this abnormal information, and immediately had a premonition that the Lion Kingdom had a relatively large move, so he immediately told Li An about this abnormal situation.

When Li An heard this abnormal situation, he also felt that the Lion Kingdom had a big move, so he immediately flew pigeons to pass the message, so that the fleet and three thousand soldiers and horses still in the port were on guard to prevent the Lion Kingdom from launching a sneak attack at night.

This time he went to the Nantianzhu Royal City, Li An only brought 300 guards, and with Nantianzhu's soldiers and horses, he was not worried about his safety.

However, Ang Lee was both puzzled and excited about the Lion Country's abnormal behavior, if this was really a signal of the Lion Kingdom's actions, then his plan would be half successful.

Isn't that enough to say that they had just sent an arrogant letter when they made a big move.

As for what kind of strategy the Lion Nation will adopt to launch an action, Li Ang can't completely predict it, but no matter how the Lion Kingdom jumps, with the powerful soldiers and horses of the Tang Empire, it is completely able to deal with it, and the main forces on the periphery are still floating on the sea, as long as there is a danger in Garigar, they will immediately send reinforcements, so that Garigar's absolute safety.

At dinner, the king of Nantianzhu, Eero, seemed a little nervous, the last time the Lion Kingdom had this situation, he took a large number of seaports under his rule in one go, and this time, this abnormal situation appeared, which seemed to be enough to prove what the Lion Kingdom was going to do next, and the situation he was more worried about was that once the Lion Kingdom launched a lightning raid, the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses would really be able to deal with it? Datang was really able to defeat the Lion Country, and these questions plagued Hérault and made him look a little nervous.

If the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses are defeated, and it is still a rout, it will inevitably lead to extremely serious consequences, and his Nan Tianzhu may immediately form a government in exile.

As for the government-in-exile, Eero has already thought clearly, he wants to go to the Tang Empire, form such a government-in-exile in the Tang Empire, and then take more soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty to recover his own lost territory.

"His Royal Highness the King doesn't seem to be in a good mood! What's upset? ”

Li An was not worried about the elite soldiers and horses under his command, so he was very calm in his heart, and there was no nervousness at all.

Ero said with a smile: "In addition to the threat of the Lion Kingdom at the moment, where will there be other troubles, Xiao Wang is worried that the Lion Kingdom army will launch a surprise attack again." ”

"What, you don't have confidence in my Tang Dynasty soldiers?"

Li An said unhappily.

Ero said with a smile: "The Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses are strong, and I have seen it with my own eyes, but there are more soldiers and horses in the Lion Country, and they are very treacherous and like to engage in sneak attacks, if they hadn't surrendered last time, we Nan Tianzhu would not have suffered such huge losses in such a short period of time." ”

"Sneak attack? Hmph, if the Lion Kingdom really dares to sneak attack my Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, this official promises to annihilate all the soldiers and horses invaded by the entire Lion Country, and not let go of any of them. ”

Li An said domineeringly.

"Li Shilang is so confident?"

Ero felt that Ang Lee's confidence was too strong, and even a little arrogant.

Li An said with a smile: "Self-confidence is directly proportional to strength, I am so confident because my Tang soldiers and horses have the strength to defeat all enemies in the world, if you don't have this strength, how dare this official be so confident, hahaha." ”

"Since Li Shilang has such great self-confidence, then Xiao Wang is also relieved, I hope that the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses can defeat the army of the Lion Kingdom in one fell swoop, let's dine!"

Ero's mood is much better, and he is also willing to believe in the strength of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses, only by believing in the strength of the Tang Dynasty can he recover some of the lost land.

The ingredients for the dinner are the best dishes in Nantianzhu, and there are many good things, even the king doesn't eat them often.

However, there was one ingredient that quickly aroused Lian's strong interest, and that was Nan Tianzhu's freshly made flying cakes, a delicacy that flew out of the air.

When making this delicacy, Ang Lee didn't feel much of it, but when he ate the flying cake in his mouth, he realized why the flying cake was so popular, and the taste was really delicious.

This seemingly ordinary dough cake, because of the special processing technology, after it is made, it is automatically divided into two layers, the outer layer is light yellow and crispy, the inner layer is soft and white, and there is a slight sweetness.

This magical delicacy has lasted for thousands of years, and the method of making it is not very difficult, first to mix a ball of dough, then press it into a dough, and then, put the dough in your hand and turn it in a clockwise direction, turn it a little longer, the dough in your hand will become bigger and bigger, and at the same time, it will become thinner and thinner, almost transparent.

In this case, you can add the filling, and then it will be grilled on a hot pan, and when it is cooked, it will be a very delicious dish.

In all of these processes, the most impressive step is naturally the one where the dough flies in the air, which is the most magical step.

One of the biggest difficulties is also in this step, the dough is flying in the air, getting bigger and thinner, but the skin must not be broken, otherwise, the dish will fail, and if you want to make a very thin dough without breaking the skin, this is definitely a very difficult thing to do, and ordinary people who are generally not trained will never be able to do this, which is no doubt.

This flying cake is not so much a delicacy, but rather a very fine work of art, such a delicate cake, has completely reached the height of art, swallowing art into the stomach, think about it is very beautiful.

Such a delicious work of art, Li Ang naturally wants to eat more, a large plate of flying cakes, Li An ate more than half of it in one go, of course, because this is a delicate food, so the amount is relatively small, and there is not much in a large plate.

"Your Royal Highness, this flying cake is really delicious, especially the seasoning on it, it tastes very good, I don't know what kind of seasoning it is, what it is made of."

Li An felt that the seasoning sprinkled on the flying cake was very delicious, and it was a seasoning that he had never tasted, so he asked out of curiosity.
