"Your Majesty, although there is no shortage of generals who can fight well, there is a shortage of soldiers, and we have just completed the replacement of the old and the new, it is inevitable that some people in the government and the opposition will be unstable, Your Majesty should be careful!"

"You're not optimistic about this battle, do you think Datang will lose?" Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Siyuan.

"Since ancient times, water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent! Your Majesty, be careful, there will be no mistakes! ”

Although he knew that what Li Siyuan said was well-intentioned, Li Shimin still said unhappily: "I know, it's nothing, you can go down first, and besides, Cheng Qian is now the prince, and you should also take office!" ”

"Yes, Wechen will go to the East Palace tomorrow to take office, if Your Majesty has nothing else to do, Wechen will retire!" Li Siyuan has finished saying everything that needs to be said, as for whether Li Shimin will really pay attention to it, it is not up to him to control!

Li Siyuan hurried back home, and before he had time to drink a sip of water, he hurriedly summoned Liu Yishou and others: "Everyone, I am in such a hurry to gather you here to tell you a big news, as for whether this news is good or bad for us, everything depends on the will of God!" ”

"Master Hou, my old Liu is a rough man, and he is also anxious, just tell me what the news is!" Liu said angrily with an urn in one hand.

"Okay, then I'll be straight to the point." Li Siyuan didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said directly: "* Ji has already waved 100,000 troops to start attacking my Datang, and now Lingzhou has been lost!" ”

Speaking of this, he paused, glanced at the people present with his eyes, and saw that they didn't care much like Li Shimin, so he continued: "According to my estimate, the Turks will inevitably attack the vicinity of Chang'an within 10 days!" ”

"Impossible!" Liu Yishou was the first to stand up and retort: "I, the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the brave Turks, are just a group of savages, how can they be able to hit Chang'an in a short time?" ”

"Captain Liu, don't be impatient, listen to me give you an analysis first!" Li Siyuan waved his hand and motioned for Liu Yishou to sit down first: "Although my Datang soldiers are brave and brave, there are few people who are good at riding and shooting, on the other hand, on the Turkic side, most of them are cavalry, and their mobility and flexibility are much higher than ours." Moreover, their strength this time is far higher than ours, and it is not easy to win this battle! ”

Speaking of this, Li Siyuan sighed with a heavy face: "These are not what I am most worried about!" Jieli sent troops to attack at this time, presumably he had reached a consensus with the Tuli side, and even formed an alliance, so if I want to win, I am afraid it will be even more difficult! ”

Li Siyuan analyzed the entire situation, and after Liu Yishou listened to it, he couldn't help frowning: "What can I do about this?" Master Hou, you have to find a Your Majesty to explain! If the Turks really succeeded, what would it be! ”

"I've already said what I need to say!" Li Siyuan sighed: "Everything can only be left to fate!" ”

"Master Hou, can we help in any way? As long as you say a word, we will not be afraid of the sea of swords! ”

Liu Yishou's words immediately resonated with others, and they all echoed: "Yes, Master Hou, if you have any orders, just say it!" ”

"Yes, we are all men of the Tang Dynasty, how can we let these Hu people behave in our Central Plains? 1“

"At the moment of foreign enemies, we can't be idle, Master Hou, just say what you have to say!"

"Please show me too!" "Please show it to Master Hou!" ........

Seeing everyone so indignant, Li Siyuan was also very happy in his heart, my Chinese boy is really a bad breed since ancient times!

After thinking for a while, he said to everyone: "The current situation is not favorable to us, so we will patiently listen to the orders of the imperial court." However, during this time, we can step up our training and properly organize the villagers, and we will always have more fighting strength when the time comes! ”

Everyone also knew that their abilities were limited, and it was impossible for a few of them to turn the tide of the war, so they silently admitted Li Siyuan's decision, and could only pray in their hearts that the imperial court would make proper arrangements and drive all the Turks out of the Central Plains.

When everyone was almost gone, Liu Yishou kindly reminded: "Master Hou, training privately is a big crime, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will condemn you after he finds out?" ”

"I didn't ask you to train!" Li Siyuan rolled his eyes at Liu Yishou: "You and I are stupid, since ancient times, military power has been a taboo for emperors, so I don't want to be executed by His Majesty without being killed by the Turks!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yishou looked at Li Siyuan in confusion: "Then didn't you just say that you wanted to train Xiangyong?" ”

"I mean proper training for the villagers!" Li Siyuan explained helplessly: ", do you know what is appropriate? It only teaches them the change of formation, not the skills of fighting, and cannot issue them weapons and armor! In this case, even if His Majesty knows about it, it will be nothing more than a scolding! Got it? “

"Oh~~~!" Liu Yishou suddenly realized: "I see! But in this way, Your Majesty really won't blame, but they don't have any combat power! ”

"It's only been less than 10 days, and you still expect them to go into battle and kill the enemy? You just do what I tell you to do, and you don't have to worry about the rest! ”

has already seen Li Siyuan's ability, Liu Yishou only thought that he had other plans, so he was ordered to go out on an errand.

The next day, Li Siyuan received a gift from Da Niu, a bird gun.

"Brother Yuan, what have you invented again, why does it look like a burning stick?" Watching Li Siyuan assemble the parts on the table one by one, Da Niu asked puzzledly on the side.

"You'll find out later!" Li Siyuan took the bird gun in his hand, and shouted to the door as he walked out: "Xiaohu, just go to the practice ground with the things I gave you a few days ago!" ”

Xiaohu agreed, and took a few family members to carry a few large wooden boxes to the practice ground.

Li Siyuan opened them one by one, only to see that they were all filled with *, iron sand and leads, and after filling them into the bird's gun, Li Siyuan put the bird's gun on the ground again, took a stone lock to press the bird's gun, and then lit the lead and ran away.

Da Niu looked at Li Siyuan's movements strangely, thinking that he was setting off fireworks, and didn't care, until the fuse burned to the end and there was a loud bang, he saw the power of this thing clearly.

I saw that the scarecrow that had been arranged in front of the bird rushed to the front, and after the loud noise, it had become a thousand holes, and the big cow was secretly frightened, if it hit the person, I was afraid that it would be crippled if it was not dead!

After Li Siyuan fired two more shots, he stepped forward and took the bird gun in his hand.

"Brother Yuan, if only you could use this thing in your hand, if you put it on the ground like this, I'm afraid it will greatly reduce his power!"

"This thing is in your hand! I was just afraid that the barrel would burst, so I put a few shots on the ground first! Li Siyuan laughed, reloaded, * iron sand, and then lit the fuse and fired another shot at the scarecrow.

Sure enough, as the big cow said, the power of this shot has indeed increased, not only the scarecrow in front of them can no longer see the human form, but even the scarecrow next to them has suffered from the pond fish and has become miserable! ”

"Awesome!" Da Niu exclaimed: "If my Datang army is equipped with this kind of weapon, it will not be invincible in the world!" ”

"It's not that simple!" Li Siyuan shook his head: "You have seen the production process of this thing with your own eyes?" It's so difficult to pour out a handful, let alone equip an entire army! ”

Speaking of this, he stroked the body of the gun: "This is not the most important thing, although this thing is powerful, but the range is not as far as that of a bow and arrow, and the reloading speed is so slow, it won't play much role on the battlefield, I just use it for self-defense!" ”

Da Niu took a few steps forward and sighed in his mouth: "This is really no one is perfect, even such a good weapon is not perfect, what a pity!" ”
