The civil and military officials followed the prestige, only to see that it was the Guogong Leng Feng who spoke.

Participation in state discussions? It's a rare thing!

Li Shimin was very angry today, and he didn't notice that Leng Feng actually came to participate in the court meeting, but since he exported, it was likely that there was a way.

"Leng Feng, what can you do? Tell me about it! ”

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it has rarely suffered defeats, let alone lost most of them by others! Li Shimin is now on fire and is almost crazy.

Leng Feng stood up: "The meaning of the envoys coming to Datang was very clear before, that is, to explore the reality of gunpowder weapons, but they were distracted by the football game, not to mention, they rarely took the time to act once, and they suffered a big loss." Now their abnormal attack is likely to force out Datang's gunpowder weapons on the battlefield. ”

As soon as Leng Feng said this, Li Shimin and the officials all nodded.

Fair and reasonable! If they were to do the same thing, there is nothing like war to put pressure on a country. This war couldn't have come at a better time! The Turks are nomadic people, and when the grass is yellow and the horses are fat, it is the time period when they are the most powerful.

Li Shimin sighed: "Then what should I do?" Could it be that they responded to their idea and used gunpowder weapons on a large scale to confront them? While it is true that gunpowder weapons can achieve maximum effect with the least number of men, but..."

Li Shimin did not want to admit that although gunpowder weapons were sharp weapons of the army, he still did not want to use them on a large scale. The gunpowder weapon is really terrible, although I have not personally experienced the battlefield, but the report brought back by the henchman Wuli Sima can also see the horror of the gunpowder weapon.

Human-level thunder, the centaurs in the center will die, and the centaurs on the edge will be killed or injured.

The ground-level thunder destroyed the mountains and mountains, and even the city wall of Gaochang was blown out of a huge gap by a thunderbolt.

This is a double-edged sword, extremely sharp externally, but also terrifying internally, although now the production line of gunpowder weapons is firmly controlled by him, but he is still very uneasy, it is no exaggeration to say that 50,000 people are equipped with gunpowder weapons, it is enough to drag him, the emperor, off the throne.

Leng Feng thought for a while before saying: "To deal with the two Western Turkic families, only 10,000 people are enough, although the grain and grass in the treasury are insufficient, but there is still money, then use money to fight!" ”

"Fight with money?" The civilians were ready to use words to oppose the sending of troops, but when they heard the news, they didn't know how to oppose it.

Fight with money? How to fight with money?

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, do you use money to fight? It's time to verify that money is everything.

Before Wei Chigong and Cheng Biting Jin took money to the border pass, judging from the results, it is not impossible to use money to fight.

The grain and grass in the treasury are also obtained from taxes, and those grains and grasses are only a part of the agricultural output of the world.

It is not difficult for officers and men to spend money to buy grain from the people along the road, and the landlords don't care who collects the grain, as long as you pay for it. And the rewards of the soldiers, in addition to the official position can not be bought by money, the reward of military merit can also be solved with money.

It doesn't seem to be a problem, but whether it can be really implemented or not, we have to test it, and now is a good opportunity.

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up: "Your Majesty, Weichen asks for an order, and is willing to bring an army equipped with gunpowder weapons to the north to fight this battle!" ”

The generals all looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with strange eyes....

The eldest grandson Wuji is now in the civil official team, he is a civil official, why is he shouting to go out at this time?

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Wuji retreats, I have already made a decision on the candidate to go north." ”

Civil officials should set the country and secure the country, and military generals should gallop on the battlefield, whether it is Li Daozong or the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin has no idea of re-giving them military power.

After sweeping his gaze in the group of generals, Li Shimin determined the candidates: "Wei Chigong, Liu Hongji." ”

Wei Chigong and Liu Hongji stood up: "The last general!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, Liu Hongji has not made particularly significant feats since he was awarded the title of Duke of the Kingdom, as for Wei Chigong.... Li Shimin really likes this general he recruited, and he has to think about him first in any good thing.

"I ordered you two...."

After Li Shimin gave the order, Li Xiaogong stood up: "Your Majesty, do you want to send a dragon tooth army or a dragon scale army as well?" If you use gunpowder weapons, the Dragontooth Army or the Dragonscale Army are more suitable. ”

Li Shimin shook his head: "No need, so be it." ”

Li Xiaogong can only retreat....

Leng Feng continued: "The Dragon Tooth Army and the Dragon Scale Army are the pioneers in the use of gunpowder weapons, how can they say that they also have experience, if you don't send them, will you let the soldiers who don't understand just go to the battlefield like this?" ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I don't think there is anything difficult about gunpowder weapons, it's very simple to shoot arrows and throw mines, don't other soldiers know it?" Not to mention, as early as last year, the imperial court had already ordered the archery and stone throwing skills of the government soldiers to practice in various state capitals. It's been a year, and it's time to see results. ”

Leng Feng hesitated: "But..."

Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently: "It's decided, order the Thunder Division, prepare the thunder and thunder arrows of the army as soon as possible, and two ground-level thunders!" If they want to see it, then I will let them see the power of the thunder weapon. ”

......

After some discussion, Li Shimin ended the court meeting, but left Leng Feng behind, and when the two walked to the stone pavilion in the imperial garden, Li Shimin took out a roll of parchment from his sleeve: "This is a letter from the Ashina family to me, you can take a look." ”

Leng Feng opened the parchment, this crooked, but delicate word, very similar to the words on his letter.

It should be Ashina Ayi's handwriting, the letter is not long, just one sentence: "The Tuli troops are gathered, it seems that they want to attack the Tang Kingdom, tell Leng Feng that he owes me a favor again!" ”

Looking at this passage, Leng Feng couldn't help but laugh: "You didn't believe it? ”

Li Shimin nodded: "I really can't think of any reason for the Tuli family to attack the Tang Dynasty, and I can't think of any reason for the Ashina family to disclose this news, just to make you owe a favor?" ”

Leng Feng said helplessly: "It's not been a day or two that the Ashina family and the Tuli family have been at odds, so why can't they reveal the movements of the Tuli family?" ”

Li Shimin looked at Leng Feng with caring foolish eyes: "Think clearly, they are all grassland people, although you helped the Ashina family defeat the attack of the Tuli family, but they are still the same clan, for them, we are foreigners!" ”
