Chapter 857 Magical Whistle

Three days is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

Although I don't know how Princess Jin Ye made it from it, Liu Yiyi has clearly felt the change in the atmosphere of the Gaochang Imperial City in 'getting drunk'.

From time to time, some officials in the court and the central government were arrested, and the city guards of the imperial city also began to patrol the streets and alleys from time to time, and the slightest suspicious person would be taken away for detailed investigation, and the entire imperial city was immersed in a very depressing and tense atmosphere.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yiyi knew that the matter had been done, and he had done everything that should be done, as for whether the final result could meet expectations, and whether he could pull Hou Junji and Li Chengqian off the horse in one fell swoop, it depended on the will of heaven.

So in the past few days, Liu Yiyi's days have been quite comfortable, sitting in front of the window of the private room of 'getting drunk' every day, drinking xiǎo wine, looking at the empty and deserted streets outside the restaurant, and carefully calculating how long this war Hou Junji can hold on to without rear supplies.

"Young Master, when do you think we can go back?" Sitting opposite Liu Yiyi, Liu Cheng poured a glass of wine for their young master, and asked softly: "The weather in Gaochang is also a little strange, compared to our Chang'an, it is worse." ”

"Go back?" Liu Yiyi picked up the wine glass, looked at the sake in the cup and smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Chang'an naturally wants to go back, but I will go back alone, as for you, let's stay here first." ”

"Huh?"

"This return to Chang'an, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, whether you can survive or not is still between the two," that Liu Cheng was a little anxious, Liu Yiyi said lightly before he asked: "Since you came out this time, then don't go back for the time being, although the climate here is not good, but it is better than not too much danger, and it is not too late for you to go back after Chang'an is in the future, and it is not too late for you to go back after making sure that there is no danger." ”

"Young Master!" As if he had been greatly humiliated, Liu Cheng stood up from his chair at once, looked at their young master with a red face, and said, "Xiǎo people don't want to be here and there!" This time I go back, even if I have the worry of my life, Cheng is willing to live and die with the top and bottom of Liufu! ”

Although he didn't quite understand what the danger was in the mouth of the young master of their family, Liu Cheng still instinctively wanted to go with their young master, no matter whether it was a disaster or a difficulty after going back, Liu Cheng was unwilling to give up the Liufu that had been a great favor to him and live alone in the field.

"Hehe, don't move, sit down and talk." Liu Yiyi chuckled and shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand to signal Liu Cheng to sit down and talk, and when Liu Cheng's mind calmed down a little, Liu Yiyi continued to say: "I understand your intentions." However, this time I asked you to stay, not entirely for your personal safety, I also want to leave a way back for our house. ”

"I can't say that this restaurant will be the last property of our Liufu in the future," Liu Yiyi sighed softly: "So now we need a reliable person to guard and operate here, although the shopkeeper Liu is benevolent, but after all, he is already old, and he has been away from home for a long time, and his heart is already difficult to grasp, and now the only person who can keep this property for Liufu is only you." ”

"This, but," the owner said very reasonably, but why did Liu Cheng always think that the young master was perfunctory and just wanted him to stay in Gaochang as an excuse.

"It's nothing," Liu Yiyi said: "It's not just for yourself to keep you here, so give me a good look at the storefront, if there is trouble in the house in the future, and you don't make a show of running the restaurant, I can't spare you!" ”

"Yes, young master!" Seeing that their young master said so solemnly, Liu Cheng nodded in response, and assured Liu Yiyi in a strong voice: "Although the young master can rest assured, other things are not guaranteed, but the business of this restaurant will definitely not disappoint the young master!" ”

"Hmm," Ryuchichi nodded lightly, took a sip of his glass, and then looked out the window again, thinking about something.

In Suzhou City, because of a letterhead from Liu Yiyi, the Tang defenders obviously adjusted their strategy of fighting against the Gaochang army.

From the previous blind defense, to the current initiative to take the initiative, whether it is win or lose, there will be at least one general out every day to call the battle, if it were not for the 30,000 Yili Iron Cavalry under the command of Hou Junji, it must have been a few large-scale hand-to-hand encounters.

Speaking of Gaochang's 30,000 cavalry, Li Ji and Gongsun Wude are a headache, sharp, and fast, especially when the two armies are facing each other, it is like a sharp sword, which may break the brigade at any time. There is no best way to deal with these cavalry, only horses for horses, men for people.

But the problem now is that Datang's cavalry needs at least three to barely replace a Gaochang iron cavalry, if you want to replace the 30,000 Yili iron cavalry, at least nearly 100,000 cavalry from Datang are needed.

It's just that if you want to drag down the hundreds of thousands of troops under Hou Junji's command, his 30,000 iron cavalry is a real key, if there is no way to leave Gaochang's 30,000 cavalry on the battlefield, then if Hou Junji senses that the situation in the rear is not right, as long as he has a thought, he can return to Gaochang in less than two days.

At that time, Liu Yiyi's plan failed, not to mention, more importantly, their plan to defeat Gaochang in a short period of time and quell this battle will be frustrated, and if the emperor blames him, he Li Ji can't afford to bear the guilt, and his future will inevitably be affected.

Therefore, Li Ji is now very troubled and entangled, and the mood of Gongsun Wude and Li Zhi, the king of Jin, has also been slightly affected, and they are meditating hard every day, hoping to think of countermeasures that are enough to deal with the situation in front of them.

On the second day when the Tang army changed its battle strategy, in the camp tent where Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was located, Wang An, the horse master who had been taken by Li Zhi's side but had never said a word, suddenly came to the tent to ask for a meeting.

"Wang An," Li Zhi, who glanced up at Wang An, who had not yet come up with a countermeasure, frowned slightly, and said to Wang An in a low voice: "The Japanese king is busy these days, and he has no time to practice equestrianism again, so let's continue to practice after this war subsides." ”

"Back to His Highness," Wang An respectfully bowed to Li Zhi and said softly: "Xiǎo people came here this time, not to urge His Highness to practice, but to report something important to His Highness!" ”

The best~ good, huh? Li Zhi's already lowered head couldn't help but raise it again, and he turned his head to look at Wang An with some suspicion, not knowing what important things this Xiǎo Ma Shi would do, but thinking of what the master had said before coming, Li Zhi still asked Wang An softly: "What's the matter, you say?" ”

"Xiǎo people know that His Royal Highness has been worrying about the 30,000 Yili war horses in the hands of Hou Junji on the opposite side these days," Wang An bent down again, and then said: "For the war, the Xiǎo people know everything, even if they have the heart, they can't help them. But dealing with war horses is the business of the xiǎo people, especially those Yili war horses in the hands of Hou Junji are still tamed by the xiǎo people themselves, so ......"

"Do you have a way?" When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked Wang An with some eagerness.

"Your Highness, please look," now is not the time to hide, and Wang An also knows very well that the reason why the young master of their family sent himself to the palace of King Jin is at this moment. So in the face of the inquiry of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, Wang An directly took out a wooden tool and handed it over, and said softly: "With this thing, the Xiǎo people can ensure that the 30,000 healthy horses in Houjunji are no longer threatened!" ”

"What kind of thing is this?" After taking over this somewhat strange-shaped wooden vessel, he couldn't help but ask Wang An for advice.

"This is an instrument specially made by the owner for the purpose of taming horses." Wang An replied softly: "Our owner calls this kind of appliance 'whistle'. ”

"Whistles?" Li Zhi was still puzzled, looking at the thing in his hand that was less than two fingers big and asked Wang An, "How to use it?" ”

"It's very simple," Wang An said directly: "Blow!" ”

"Toot! Honk! Honk! A moment later, there was a very peculiar beeping sound from the tent of His Royal Highness King Jin.

"Just this thing, can I help my Tang Sergeant deal with those 30,000 Yili cavalry?" After playing nòng for a while, after the novelty had passed, Li Zhi asked Wang An again.

There is a word, called the condition against the suspicion of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Wang Anmian explained quietly: "It's like when you train a horse or a dog, every time you make a specific sound or a specific action before feeding, over time, whenever you make these actions or make these sounds, those dogs, horses, or domestic jī ducks will flock to you." ”

"In the past, when the horses were tamed at Yantian Ranch, there was only one role for the xiǎo people when they whistled, and that was to stop suddenly!" Wang An then explained: "That is to say, as long as the whistle of the xiǎo people sounds, no matter whether these horses are running hard or leisurely, they will stop at the first time and stop in place." ”

"How amazing is it?" Fang Cai Wang An's explanation of what 'conditional anti-shè' is very understandable, but the statement like making the horse stop abruptly is too bizarre, and Li Zhi really can't believe it.

"If Your Highness doesn't believe it," as if he knew that Li Zhi would ask such a question, Wang An said unhurriedly: "Xiǎo people can practice for His Highness once on the spot, it just so happened that the few horses that the owner gave to His Highness some time ago were also tamed by Xiǎo people, if His Highness has time, you might as well move to the horse training farm, and you will know at a glance." ”

"Good!" When Li Zhi heard this, he said, "Let's go to the Shuai Tent to inform General Li first, if this statement is true, this king will never treat you badly!" ”

Li Zhi began to have some expectations in his heart, thinking about it carefully, if what Wang An said was true, if when the two armies were fighting, the 30,000 war horses that were galloping suddenly stopped at a critical time, wouldn't it be ...... This kind of thing, I feel a little scared when I think about it, but for the current Tang Jun, this is a great thing.

Because it was a matter of retreating from the enemy, and it was the 30,000 Yili war horses that had the most headache for them, so after hearing the news, Li Ji, Gongsun Wude, Li Zhen, Gongsun Helan and Xue Rengui and several other trusted confidants all rushed to the horse training farm with His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

After listening to His Royal Highness the King of Jin explain the situation, everyone looked at Wang An and the magical 'whistle' in Wang An's hand.

"Alright, let's get started!" Seeing that the people had arrived, Li Zhi whispered a word to Wang An.

"Yes, Your Highness!" In response, Wang An looked at the thousands of miles of horses that were pulled out, and arched his hand to Li Zhiyu: "First of all, the Xiǎo people want to find a few generals who are skilled in riding and galloping around in the field on these healthy horses. ”

Because this experiment is too dangerous, if you let ordinary xiǎo soldiers do it, it won't have a good effect, not to mention, I am afraid that there will be worries about your life, so Wang An hit the idea on Gongsun Helan and Xue Rengui, who are both good at martial arts and horsemanship.

"What's so difficult about this, I'll come first!" As Wang An expected, Gongsun Helan, who couldn't bear the loneliness the most, took the lead in standing up, followed by Li Zhen, Xue Rengui, and Cheng Chumo, the deputy general of the army, a total of four people and four horses.

"There are a few generals," waiting for a few people to ride on their war horses, Wang An bowed to a few people, and then said: "After a while, as soon as the whistle in the hands of the xiǎo people sounds, these war horses will suddenly stop, and there is a certain danger in them, please pay attention to the hearts of several generals, don't hurt anywhere." ”

"Okay, it's just a few war horses, how can they hurt me?" Gongsun Helan waved his hand a little impatiently, and then without waiting for Wang An to say more, he directly rode his horse and whipped up, and swam quickly in the empty horse farm. Seeing this, the other three men bowed their hands to King Jin and Li Ji, and they also began to gallop on horseback, and after a while, they had caught up with Gongsun Helan who was far away.

"Your Highness!" After the four of them rode away in the horse farm, Wang An took a whistle and bent down to ask Li Zhi, the king of Jin, for instructions.

"Alright, let's get started!" Li Zhi nodded lightly, his eyes closely fixed on the four horses running in the field.

"Four generals, xiǎo heart!" In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Wang An reminded the four people in the field loudly, and put the end of the whistle into his mouth: "Dudu! Doodle!! ”

After a knotted beep, the front was the moment for Li Ji and Li Zhi to witness the miracle.

As if they had heard a military order, the four healthy horses that were galloping suddenly stopped and stopped motionless. The four people on horseback were not so lucky, like four balls thrown by someone, they turned forward directly, although in the end they all flipped in the air and landed firmly on the ground, but their somewhat pale faces still made people feel the danger of Fang Cai at that moment.

"Good!" Li Jijī's eyes lit up as he excitedly clapped his hands and shouted. With this killer feature, it is no longer difficult to stop Hou Junji and the 30,000 iron horsemen under Hou Junji
