The army returned to the camp for repairs, and Li Shimin led the ministers into the tent. Today's siege is unfavorable and the losses are heavy, so everyone's mood is very low, Li Shimin has a straight face, and he doesn't know who to vent the fire in his belly, because today's siege operation is commanded by Li Shimin himself, and he wants to find a scapegoat to carry the black pot, but he can't find anyone, so he can only sulk alone.

After being silent for a while, Li Shimin let out a breath and said, "Let's discuss today's matter together." How could it be like this. ”

Everyone in the handsome tent raised their hearts, this is the leader who asked you to criticize him. Criticism of the leader is never a trivial matter, if you speak too directly, the leader will not be able to come to power, and if you are hated by the leader, you will have endless shoes. If you don't say it, you can't do it, the leaders will make a look of humility and admonishment, if you don't give advice, you won't give face, and if you don't cooperate with the leader's humble personality, it's so difficult to be a subordinate.

"Your Majesty's siege of the city today is not smooth, mainly because Yang Wanchun is too powerful, he has done a lot of investigation on our army in the early stage, according to Weichen's observation, his counterattack today is definitely carefully calculated, so it will be surprised." Zhang Jian was the commander of the former army, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he had to start by himself. It cannot be said that he made a mistake to His Majesty, but the enemy is too cunning.

After listening to Zhang Jian's words, everyone suddenly realized, yes, Your Majesty is wise, how can he make a mistake, the fault is that the enemy is too strong, so one by one Yang Wanchun said that there is nothing in the sky and on the earth, Li Shimin, who listened, frowned, what does it mean, he is a genius in heaven, I am still the son of heaven. His expression changed, and everyone present knew that it had been blown, but he had to continue to think about it for a new reason, and at this time a voice came out.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that there are many places in the siege today, and the first question is why didn't the gunpowder blow up the city wall? Weichen thinks that even if Yang Wanchun knew that Liaodong City and Jian'an City were blown down by gunpowder, and he hurried to strengthen the city wall day and night, how did he make it impossible for gunpowder to explode? Reinforcing the city wall is not a small project, our army has only been able to strengthen the city wall in a few days from Jian'an City to Anshi City? ”

As soon as Cheng Yanjin heard this voice, he knew that it was the eldest grandson Wuji, the old Yin Bi, who had made another move, his words were meaningful, but it also provided a new idea to everyone present, yes, the main reason for the disadvantage of attacking the city today is because the gunpowder did not play a role, so a group of people rushed to talk about the gunpowder thing, anyway, it was one, the leader was right, and it was because of various external reasons that the results were not achieved.

This reason is still okay, how can I make a mistake, I was born on the battlefield and won the world immediately, and today's mistake is a problem of gunpowder. His brow furrowed. However, he thought of the question raised by the eldest grandson Wuji, and this puzzle in his heart puzzled him for a long time, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Yes? Why didn't the gunpowder blow up the walls? ”

Everyone in the tent was relatively speechless, Your Majesty, the gunpowder is managed by you personally, and we usually can't touch who are we going to ask if you ask us?

In fact, the ministers present were also very puzzled, they had seen the effect of gunpowder twice, and they had seen it many times in the early stage, that Anshi City was similar to Jian'an City, a little worse than Liaodong City, and today gunpowder was used, why did his city wall not move at all? Could it be that Yang Wanchun is really a genius who has found a way to resist gunpowder in such a short period of time?

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that maybe someone did something in the gunpowder that caused today's city wall not to be blown down." Eldest Sun Wuji's words were like detonating a frame of grenades in the quiet handsome tent.

Cheng Yanjin felt that something was wrong when he heard the tone, and hurriedly said: "Eldest grandson Wuji, you can't talk nonsense about this." Do you have proof? ”

Li Shimin's pupils contracted violently, his eyes became sharp, and he stared at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Why do you have such an idea?" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji's face was calm: "Today's matter, Wei Chen weighed it repeatedly in his heart, and the most likely thing is that the gunpowder was tampered with. The reason is that the events of the past few days are connected, and there is a shocking conspiracy in it. ”

Li Shimin listened to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he didn't know if he really had evidence or deliberately scares people, and looked at him suspiciously: "A shocking conspiracy? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Let's start from the beginning, from our army to the city of Anshi, the camp was stolen by Yang Wanchun on the first night, and then everyone saw the results, all the grenades were burned, and there was only a little gunpowder left, which means that the most important offensive weapon of our army was gone. The eldest grandson Wuji said eloquently: "Immediately after the siege of the city, the gunpowder did not blow up the city wall, and the enemy cavalry raided and killed all the soldiers of the firearms battalion of our army. This is a whole line, which is to block the offensive of our army and trap us under the city of Anshi. ”

Everyone was chilled by what the eldest grandson Wuji said, but when you think about it, it's really a bit deliberate. Eldest Sun Wuji continued: "Everyone knows that gunpowder and grenades are strictly controlled weapons in my Tang Dynasty, and they are under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty, and even our ministers have only heard of them and have never seen them. ”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, "Then Yang Wanchun is just the city lord of a small country, why can he master the characteristics of gunpowder in just a few days, and keep the city wall from collapsing?" How did he know where our grenades were stored so precisely and destroy them all with a sneak attack? How could he think that the 2,000 soldiers of the firearms battalion were the greatest threat to them, and that they had to be eliminated? ”

Li Shimin's heart was furious when he was told by the eldest grandson Wuji, and his back was full of cold sweat, and he was also thinking in his heart: Who is so scheming to surround the Tang army under the city of Anshi, what do they want to do?

Zhang Jian stared at Changsun Wuji for a look, from the perspective of these generals, Changsun Wuji's words are, even Zhang Jian They can also see that the soldiers of the firearms battalion are the biggest threat, grenades and gunpowder have been used so many times, who doesn't know how to guard them first. However, this is the greatest skill of civil officials, which is extended to an unbelievable inner through a specious superficial phenomenon.

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin squinted his eyes and asked, he now had an idea in his heart to talk to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Your Majesty, gunpowder and grenades were both offered by Lantian Hou. He began to oppose when our army attacked Liaodong, on the one hand, he advised in many ways, and on the other hand, he reminded His Majesty to deal with it carefully. When he found out that His Majesty was invincible with gunpowder and grenades, in order to show his correctness, he deliberately divulged the secrets of gunpowder and grenades in order to achieve his correct purpose. And after he was taken down by His Majesty, he must have a grudge in his heart, which is also a reason. The eldest grandson Wuji twisted his beard and said: "After all, in the entire Tang Dynasty, he is the most proficient in gunpowder." ”
