Li Shimin, as the emperor, is not a freewheeling person, and his every move has deep meaning. He said that walking around the camp didn't really want to walk, naturally there were people who were familiar with his mind to take him to the place he wanted to go, and the best person who was familiar with his mind was Wang De. He has followed Li Shimin since he was still the king of Qin, and it has been decades now, and it can be said that Wang De knows him better than Li Shimin himself.

Isn't it just that I want to go to Li Dongsheng again and can't pull it off, I'll take you over, old slave. Wang De knew that his master was very arrogant, so he accompanied him all the way to the outside of Guan Li Dongsheng's tent.

Hearing the poem in the tent, Li Shimin's first feeling was that Wang De told him that I was coming? How could it be so coincidental? Turning his head to look at Wang De, Wang De shook his head and signaled that I didn't tell them.

Li Shimin lifted the curtain of the tent: "Listening to your poems, it seems that you are very resentful of me?" ”

Li Dongsheng was startled and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise and decisive, how dare Weichen complain." "This is not the time to pretend to be iron, if you really show a little resentment, it is estimated that today next year will be your own death day, the hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, I endure!

"I don't dare, I don't know how to compose poetry, and every word is used just right." Li Shimin looked around at the layout in the tent: "Yes, the current life is what you want." The whole camp is thinking about how to break through the city, and Zen is exhausted, only you eat and drink enough to sleep every day. ”

Li Dongsheng pouted, you are the one who is a man, and you are also the one who is a ghost, do I want to be locked up myself? He bowed his head and said: "Weichen only wants a family to be safe and live a rich life." ”

Li Shimin sneered: "Life is rich, you are the richest man in my Tang Dynasty, right?" The few ingredients you gave me are more than enough for me to feed everyone in the palace, and I can see the solidity of your family. ”

Li Dongsheng said in his heart, you TM also know that I have a few components for you, from the time I joined the company to the present, I originally wanted to find a backer, who knew that you just took money and didn't do anything, my official did trembling, it is estimated that he is the most of all the traversers, so all the business in the future is not your share.

"If you don't speak, you're acquiescing?" Li Shimin said coldly: "I don't know who will make your family property cheaper if you die?" ”

Li Dongsheng is still silent, I don't know who will be cheaper, but whoever wants to take my family property is estimated to be unleashed if he doesn't die. Seeing this topic made Li Dongsheng unhappy, Li Shimin didn't have so much time to tease him, so he immediately changed the topic: "Say, what did you do with gunpowder?" Why can't the walls be blown up during the siege today? ”

Li Dongsheng didn't know anything about today's siege, and he looked confused: "What gunpowder is used to do it?" ”

Wang De really can't stand it, how can others answer this brainless question, he quickly told Li Dongsheng about today's siege situation, when Li Dongsheng heard the news that the firearms battalion was wiped out, tears flowed down at that time, Li Shimin said: "Your own team is only more than 2,000 people wiped out, you are distressed to shed tears, I take the Tang Mansion army of 300,000 I know what kind of mood I have?" ”

Li Dongsheng doesn't want to talk to him at all now, you bring 300,000 people, so are you responsible for them? Arrogance, not listening to people's persuasion, leading to the current difficult situation, and putting the responsibility on others, where is there a little bit of the appearance of a wise gentleman through the ages.

"The lives of hundreds of thousands of people are all on me, so I am careful when I make any decision, for fear that a decision will bury my good boy of the Tang Dynasty in Goguryeo, and I am also afraid that I will leave a dim reputation in the history books because of failure."

"Wechen understands His Majesty's feelings." When the emperor's words were so clear, Li Dongsheng could only express his understanding, but he would never believe Li Shimin's words or any emperor's words again after this incident.

It seems that Li Shimin came to understand the doubts in his happiness, and Li Dongsheng didn't want to contact him anymore, so he quickly said his thoughts: "Your Majesty, there are several reasons why Weichen thinks that the city wall of Anshi has not collapsed, the first is that the amount of gunpowder is not enough. The more gunpowder there is, the more powerful it is. The second is that the tightness of the gunpowder is not enough, and this can only exert the maximum explosive power in a closed container. ”

Li Shimin still couldn't let go: "But Anshi City is almost the same as Jian'an City, and a little worse than Liaodong City, why don't they move at all when they blow up Anshi City?" ”

"Anshi City did not collapse, I estimate that Yang Wanchun learned that the first two cities were blown up before they were captured, so he must have made targeted arrangements, I don't know what he arranged, but it definitely does not exceed the two methods of reinforcement and isolation." Li Dongsheng said affirmatively: "And Your Majesty, it is definitely not right that the city wall is not moving at all, there is no problem with the city wall from the outside, but if you want to look closer, there must be cracks or something in Anshi City." ”

"What does it mean to harden and isolate? Listen to it. Li Shimin wanted to know why the city wall could not be blown up, and if he knew the reason, he would be able to attack later.

"Back to Your Majesty, reinforcing the city wall in such a short period of time should be to use glutinous rice juice to fill the brick joints, so that the bricks of the city wall become stronger and more reliable, so if the amount of gunpowder is small, the city wall cannot be blown down." Li Shimin nodded.

"Isolation is to lay another layer of green bricks on the perimeter of the city wall, and place them in a staggered manner, keeping a gap in the middle, so that the impact of the gunpowder explosion can be completely buffered. After a few days of hard work, the Goguryeo people could only do so much. ”

Only then did Li Shimin's face soothe down: "I feel more comfortable when I hear you say this, it's not that Yang Wanchun has any ability, it's just that he found the weakness of gunpowder." ”

Li Dongsheng and Wang De looked at each other, people can think of this way to crack the explosion of gunpowder in such a few days of effort, and withstand the attack of the Tang Army, what else do you want?

"Now our army has suffered heavy losses and low morale, especially today, the total annihilation of the soldiers of the firearms battalion has given them a huge shock, where is Pyongyang Quangai Suwen eyeing the tiger, and there is no news from Zhang Liang under the stone city in the south, now I am thinking about it and I don't know what to do?" Li Shimin sighed, and then pretended to be inadvertent: "Do you have any good way to capture Anshi City?" ”

Li Dongsheng frowned, Li Shimin still didn't give up, he just refused to go for the sake of face, it was really a road to the dark. He said directly: "At present, our army's morale is fluctuating, and rashly attacking the city is only to increase casualties, so it is better to wait for the gunpowder and grenades to arrive, and then launch an attack." ”

Seeing that Li Dongsheng answered so quickly, Li Shimin asked tentatively: "Is there a firearm that is more powerful than gunpowder?" ”
