Hearing the news from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly passed on the Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department.

"Your Majesty, great joy!"

As soon as he entered the door, Hou Junji couldn't wait to give Li Shimin good news.

And hearing Hou Junji's words, Li Shimin's originally hanging heart was also immediately put down.

couldn't help but ask: "Come on, what's going on with the situation over there in Anxi Duhufu?" ”

Hou Junji immediately said: "Your Majesty, after the King of Shu led 50,000 soldiers and horses to the Yanqi Governor's Mansion, he ordered Shi Long Li Po to conceal the news and attack Guizi Town overnight. ”

"The 10,000 Great Food soldiers in Guizi Town have been completely annihilated, and they are currently arranging troops in Guizi Town, preparing to compete with the Great Food Army!"

"Good!"

After learning the news, Li Shimin's expression was greatly lifted.

It was the first time for Datang to fight against Da Shi, and I heard that Da Shi was a very terrible opponent.

Previously, I didn't understand the depth of the big food at all.

Now through the hands of the King of Shu, I finally learned something.

This time, the King of Shu made a good start!

Although the number of troops is only half of that of Da Shi, since such a good situation can be achieved, I believe that it will not be a big problem to resist them for two or three months.

Li Shimin immediately ordered: "Convene all the generals, as well as the secretaries of various ministries and other personnel to discuss the matter." ”

After Li Shimin finished giving the order, someone immediately went down to inform him.

In a short time, everyone was announced and gathered together.

Li Shimin climbed onto the dragon chair and said, "There is news from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, let's take a look." ”

At that moment, the powerful man came over, took the news, and handed it down.

The first one to look at is the eldest grandson Wuji.

After reading it, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but say happily: "Okay! All right! What a Shu king! ”

Hearing the voice of the eldest grandson Wuji, everyone's hearts also calmed down.

It's not just an emperor who cares about the Anxi Protectorate, which of these ministers is not suspenseful?

Now when I hear the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, I know that it must be good news.

After reading it himself, the eldest grandson Wuji raised his hand and prepared to hand the news to Fang Xuanling beside him.

However, it was snatched away by Cheng Yanjin, who couldn't wait.

Cheng Biting Jin glanced at ten lines and quickly read the news.

Then he couldn't help laughing and said: "King Shu, enough seeds!" ”

"With an army of 50,000, it took five days to arrive at the Yanqi Governor's Mansion, and it only took one night to recapture Guizi Town, and completely annihilated the army of 10,000 people! And my Tang army, the death toll is less than ten! ”

"King Shu, you really have half the demeanor of my old Cheng, haha!"

Hearing Cheng Yanjin's words, Wei Chigong couldn't help but say with disdain: "Cheng Da fool, can you still have a face?" When have you ever been so good? ”

Qin Qiong said thoughtfully: "King Shu, you really have the style of the emperor back then!" ”

Qin Qiong's words evoked the memories of these generals.

The original emperor, who was still the king of Qin, fought in the south and the north, and made great achievements.

At that time, King Qin was extraordinary.

And after Qin Qiong finished speaking, the ministers couldn't help but echo one after another.

It is said that the King of Shu has the demeanor of the emperor back then.

Although this sentence is suspected of compliment, it is not blindly sycophant.

The deeds of the King of Shu this time, in fact, even if it was the emperor back then, he had never had such a record!

Taking a city in one night is nothing.

The total annihilation of 10,000 enemy horses in one night is nothing.

But if the number of your own soldiers killed is less than ten, it is enough to make people gasp.

Li Shimin couldn't help but instruct: "How is the grain and grass prepared by the household department now?" The King of Shu is now in the Anxi Protectorate and has achieved a major victory, and you must hurry up now. The King of Shu can't be left alone for too long. ”

Hubu Shangshu couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, everything is now being prepared in an orderly manner, and in two months, it will be ready." ”

Hearing the words of the head of the household, Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied.

The 50,000 army of the king of Shu arrived at the battlefield in only five days.

Your army of 100,000 will need to be prepared for two months.

In this comparison, the household department is too incompetent.

However, in fact, Li Shimin also knows that the household department has done its best.

This matter, even if it is left to him to do it himself, it cannot be faster.

And at this time, Li Shimin recalled one thing.

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask Li Jing: "Wei Guogong, I ask you, if you lead an army of 50,000 and set off from Tuyuhun to Anxi Duhufu, how long will it take?" ”

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Li Jing couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.

The problem that he can see, the emperor can't see it for no reason!

Li Su, this kid, is really a demon!

Li Jing couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, if the old minister leads the troops, it will take at least half a month!" Even if it were to march without baggage at all, it would take at least seven days. ”

Hearing this, the ministers also reacted now.

That's right!

An army of 50,000 people, starting from Tuyuhun, even if it is the military god Li Jing, it will take seven days to arrive.

That's it, or without baggage at all.

And what about the king of Shu?

It only took five days!

Moreover, people must be carrying baggage.

Otherwise, even if you rush to the location, without replenishment, it is impossible to capture a city overnight and wipe out 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask thoughtfully: "How did the King of Shu do this?" ”

After hearing Li Shimin's question, the ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces are blank.

They can't answer this question at all.

At this time, Hou Junji couldn't help but step forward and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen probably knows something. The king of Shu should have used steam three wheels for transportation, and he should not have carried a war horse on this expedition. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning and asked, "What is this steam three-wheeler?" ”

Hou Junji couldn't help but explain: "This steam three-wheeler uses a steam engine as the power, and the principle is almost the same as that of a train, but there are only three wheels. ”

I see, no wonder!

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "What is the shape of this steam tricycle?" How tall and how big? How many people can each vehicle carry? What is the speed? ”

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Hou Junji couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty the cavalry, Weichen doesn't know either. ”

Because he is the secretary of the military department, when Li Su went on the expedition, he knew some things.

But it's only to know, he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, and he hasn't seen the parameters, so he naturally can't say.

No one knew the scale of the steam tricycle.

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning again.

"In order to be in a hurry, the king of Shu did not bring a war horse, and it only took five days to arrive at the Yanqi Governor's Mansion. And in one night's effort, he took the town of Guizi. ”

"However, he doesn't have a war horse, how can he fight the Great Food Army in the future? I'm afraid, there is only one way left to defend! You have to hurry up and raise military rations! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After some deliberation on the transportation of military rations, the ministers all withdrew.

Outside the main hall, Cheng bit the golden urn and said angrily: "Your Highness, hold on!" Wait for me to save you! ”

……

Because of the distance, it takes a long time for the message to be delivered to Chang'an.

Therefore, the news that Chang'an City got was all from more than ten days ago.

They can know there that they are worried about the King of Shu.

They thought that the king of Shu, who had to be strictly guarded, was now closely following behind the army of big food, just like dogs chasing rabbits, and they were running all over the mountain.

It's really a mountain run.

If you don't run, you can't do it, if you are caught up by the Datang steam tricycle array, they will die.

Fortunately, their general, Wei Lide, really has a few skills.

Along the way, the cavalry was constantly barricaded.

It is precisely by relying on these roadblocks that those infantry can barely be caught up by the Datang steam tricycle array.

Along the way, in addition to running, they even ran their legs very thinly.

Finally, with great difficulty, they ran to the border between the Tang Dynasty and Persia.

Well, there was no Persia left at this time, and Persia had already been occupied by them and became their land.

When these soldiers set foot on the land of Persia, they couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl and shed tears of excitement.

It's not easy, but I finally came back alive.

This invasion can be said to be the most aggrieved invasion in their lives.

I am afraid that this invasion will become a lingering nightmare for them in the future.

And Li Su also led the army to stop.

Continuous pursuit, not only will the soldiers of the Great Food be tired?

They're going to get tired, too!

Li Su found that if he didn't make repairs in time, maybe the soldiers would be tired and sick.

Now that they have been driven out of Datang, let's rest for a while.

As for whether it will end there, it will definitely not.

Where is it so easy?

You've invaded Datang, and now you can't beat it, thinking you'll be done when you escape back to your doorstep?

Where is it so easy?

I'm definitely not used to your problem!

Li Su decided to go directly to their doorstep.

At the very least, they will be hurt and scared, so that they will not dare to easily rise up and infringe on the ambitions of Datang in the future.

When Li Su ordered repairs, Xi Junmai was very unhappy.

"Your Highness, why don't you keep chasing? What an opportunity now! Catch up, cut the mother! ”

Xue Rengui wordlessly pointed at the soldiers behind him, and then asked, "Can you hold it yourself, what about those soldiers behind you?" Will they be able to hold on? Do you think everyone is like you, with rough skin and thick meat? ”

Xi Junmai looked at the soldiers behind him, and he was indeed very tired.

If they are not allowed to take a good rest, their combat effectiveness will be drastically reduced by several percent.

Seeing this, Xi Junmai had no choice but to give up.

At this time, Li Su was studying the terrain of Persia.

At the same time, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are used to reconnoiter the defense system of Dashi.

At the same time, Li ordered Li Yuanfang to send 500 special operations soldiers of the Huya Special Combat Team.

Their mission was to infiltrate Persia to check on the defenses of the Great Eclipse soldiers, among other things.

……

After returning to Persia, Khalid, Ibn and Vellid ordered their soldiers to be on higher alert.

while writing letters to their king pleading guilty.

Because of this expedition, the loss of troops and generals brought heavy losses to Dashi.

Wei Lide took all the blame on himself, and wrote to their king, hoping that the king could negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, in the letter, Wei Lide also stated the strength of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the deeds of His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty.

proves that the current Datang is not something they can shake.

Wei Lide suggested that their king should befriend the Tang Dynasty.

Then they went in a different direction and carried out their plans for territorial expansion.

The king of the Great Eclipse, the second caliph 'Umar, couldn't help but fall into deep thought after receiving the petition from Willid.

Half an hour later, the Great Eclipse King summoned his other general, Jonos, in.

Willier and Hasuo are his right-hand men.

In recent years, though, Khalid's glow has completely overshadowed Jonos.

Willid's fame is so great that he is known by many as the sword of Allah.

The sound of fame has even overshadowed their caliphate.

When Joonos arrived, Caliph Umar showed him the petition of Willid.

After Joonos read Wei Lide's guilty plea, he couldn't help but be angry, and angrily threw the guilty plea to the ground.

When he finished doing this, he realized that it was very rude, and hurriedly picked up the plea from the ground.

Then he pleaded guilty to their caliph and said: "Venerable caliph, I was just enraged by the shameless behavior of the enemy who Wilid tried to cover up his incompetence and infinitely exaggerated the enemy! It is not disrespectful to the caliph, and I ask the caliph to forgive me. ”

Umar said to him, "Well, Joonos, I know you and I won't blame you for this. You just said that Wei Lide is just covering up his incompetence, you tell me, what is going on? ”

Joonos couldn't help but say: "Caliph, Welider must have made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and buried the lives of our sixty or seventy thousand warriors at once. Then he was afraid of the Shu King of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Then he obediently led his soldiers back and slipped back, and in order to cover up his stupidity and incompetence, he exaggerated the weapons of the Tang Dynasty and the power of their soldiers in his plea."

"Honorable Caliph, please be aware that there is such a huge steel chariot in this world, and you can run? Isn't it much slower than a war horse? ”

"Is there such a person in this world? He is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has reached the master level, and has created countless novelties. I even made a train. ”

"Haha, when I see this, I want to laugh. The steel monster dozens of meters long can pull tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of catties of goods, and run countless times faster than a horse, more than a thousand miles in half a day! Do you believe this kind of lie, caliph? ”

Joonos's words deeply touched Umar.

Naturally, he didn't believe this kind of nonsense in the letter of guilt.

Where in the world is there such a thing?

He was extremely dissatisfied with Wei Lide's defeat.

And Willid's perfunctory attitude of pleading guilty deeply angered Umar.

Umar now thinks about a question, in the past two years, has Wei Lide floated?

Umar couldn't help but ask Joonos, "Joonos, what should you do with this matter?" ”

Without hesitation, Joonos said, "Khalid, I think that Willid should be punished for his crimes and put him in prison!" As for the Tang Army, I am willing to lead the troops and fight with the Tang Dynasty! ”

Hearing Joonos's words, Umar fell into deep thought for a moment.

Jonos and Willid, have always been rivals.

Now that he wanted to kill him while Willow had made a mistake, Umar naturally understood this feeling.

But as a king, he couldn't do that.

Despite his mistakes, he has done too much in the past.

He must not be imprisoned.

However, it is still necessary to give him some punishment and let him reflect on himself.

Thinking of this, Umar couldn't help but give an order, ordering Joonos to replace Willid's position and take full responsibility for the war with the Tang Dynasty.

When Joonos received the order, he was slightly disappointed.

originally thought that Wei Lide made such a big mistake and could pull him off the horse in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, the caliph actually put it down gently.

It seems that in the heart of the caliph, his position is still very important!

It doesn't matter, this kind of thing takes its time, you can't be in a hurry, sooner or later you will get him off the horse.

……

After the petition was written, Wei Lide has been busy arranging defenses, and the border between the two countries has been defended seamlessly.

Wei Lide did not believe that the Shu King of the Tang Dynasty would stop.

Since they attacked Datang, how could Datang let them go so easily?

So, Willier is trying his best to defend.

As for whether their caliph will punish him for this, Willid really didn't care.

In his opinion, the war between him and Datang was a fiasco.

But this is not a war offence.

Mainly because Datang is too powerful.

Wei Lide is confident that if it weren't for him, but for anyone else, I'm afraid the result would be the end of the total annihilation.

I believe that the caliph will understand after reading his explanation.

But what Willier never expected was that the situation would develop beyond his imagination.

More than ten days later, the caliph gave his orders.

Ordered Joonos to take his place and ordered him to return to the capital.

In the order of the caliphate, he was not appointed to any office.

That is, from now on, he has been deprived of the post of general.

Now, he doesn't have any official position on him.

Hearing this order, Wei Lide was at first incredulous.

However, after finally accepting this order, Wei Lide couldn't help but frown tightly.

Unexpectedly, the caliph actually appointed such a stupid guy as Jonos.

This guy, stupid and good-for-nothing, will only bring things to the worst.

I really can't understand why the caliph would reuse this stupid donkey-like person.

Well, Joonos has been able to compete with Willier for many years, and naturally he is not a good-for-nothing fool.

But he has a fiery temper, only attacks but not defends, and moves forward bravely.

But if he can't attack, then he will fail.

If not, he would not have been suppressed by Wei Lide.

Knowing how stubborn Joonos was, Willier left without saying a word.

Now Willid just wanted to go back to their caliphate, explain it to him, and transfer Joonos as soon as possible.

Otherwise, this stupid donkey will only bury the lives of more Great Food Warriors.

……

The internal affairs of the Great Food Empire, on the Tang side, are almost unknown.

And during this time, Li Su was also relatively helpless.

The defense of the Great Food Country is not leaky, even if they want to attack, for a while, they can't find the right time.

They only have 50,000 people, and they don't have large-scale siege equipment, so they can't choose to attack the city, right?

For more than ten days, Li Su couldn't bear it anymore.

If it really doesn't work, Li Su has already decided to send the special combat team members of the Huya Special Combat Team to take a city first.

The so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, take the first step first.

Take a city from them first, Li Su didn't believe that they didn't panic.

In a panic, mistakes are bound to occur.

And as long as they get it wrong, it's all right.

You must know that Li Su has a lot of intrigues here.

Ahh

That's a brilliant plan!

And just when Li Yu was about to implement this plan, he made an unexpected discovery, huh?

It seems that something is wrong.

In the past, the Great Eclipse had been shrinking on the defensive.

Why is it so normal now that you are going to enter the palace?

Is there any conspiracy that fails?

After carefully observing the day, Li Su found that they were gathering troops and really wanted to attack.

In that case, there's no hurry, just wait and see.

In the border land, Datang's steam tricycle array has long been prepared.

……

At this time, Li Shimin, who was worried, once again got the news from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

The Anxi Protectorate went to war again, and Li Su, the king of Shu, took advantage of the unequal news to fight a beautiful ambush battle.

This time, 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry were annihilated by the Great Eclipse, for a total of more than 50,000 Great Eclipse soldiers.

At present, the big food is shrinking out!

This time, Li Su introduced the information of the Datang steam tricycle team in detail.

After seeing the news, Li Shimin couldn't help but be overjoyed.

That's great! It's really great!

Originally, he was still worried about whether the King of Shu could defend it.

Unexpectedly, the King of Shu is not just defensive.

Instead, he directly fought a beautiful victory and directly annihilated more than 50,000 soldiers and horses of Da Shi.

The big food that hit directly had to go on the defensive.

Now, Datang is completely stress-free!

The number of troops of the King of Shu and the Great Eclipse is also 50,000, how could the King of Shu be afraid of the Great Eclipse?

Unless Da Shi continues to send more troops, but I, Datang, am already preparing!

At this time, Li Shimin's heart was settled.

couldn't help but praise Li Su at the ministers.

"King Shu, it's really my unicorn!"

Such a compliment made the faces of the hundred officials show a thoughtful look.

At this time, Cheng Yanjin and a group of veterans were all worried.

I've got a big groove, this big food can't hold up!

We haven't even moved yet, and we were directly beaten by the King of Shu and half-disabled?

If this is more than a month later, when we leave, we won't be directly beaten away by the King of Shu, right?

King of Shu!

The King of Shu is not authentic!

It's not the first time, it's been the case several times.

We've just gotten ready, and when we're ready to go, they've already beaten it down!

Big food, you must hold on!
