Li Er's reprimand, although he was talking about the handsome Li Ji, but Li Ji was thousands of miles away, and there was only Du Ruhui here, so Du Ruhui became the one who was scolded.

After taking the letter and reading it, Du Ruhui knew that it was Tubo who had inlaid a nail for the Tang Dynasty, no wonder the emperor was angry, and originally said in the court that Tubo would destroy the country within three months, but now it is good, not only did not destroy the country, but even did not drive the enemy out.

"Someone, spread my will, order Li Ji's army, all the way to Tubo, if you encounter obstacles, thunder and thunder to open the way.

There are only tens of thousands of thunderbolts in Tibet, and my Tang Dynasty is endless, could it be that they can use thunderbolts to defend the city, and we can't use thunderbolts to blow up the entire city? ”

"No, Your Majesty, please think twice!" Du Ruhui stepped forward and persuaded.

"Keming doesn't need to say much, I know that the casualties of the assault are too great, and it is not easy for my Tang Dynasty to raise some soldiers, so I allowed them to cover the city and open the way, I expect that there are few people in a small border city, and there will not be many casualties."

Li Er's words seem to be very ruthless, talking about the life and death of soldiers and people, it seems very casual, in the eyes of him, a general of a hundred battles, as long as the war can be won, a little sacrifice is the cost of war.

"No, Your Majesty can't, the minister supports Marshal Li Ji's method of not moving.

Tens of thousands of thunderbolts in the hands of Tubo defended the city, which could cause at least 30,000 casualties to the Tang Dynasty, and the casualties were too great to be advisable.

But if Your Majesty no longer cares about the lives of the people in the city and directly bombs the city, it will not only be 30,000 dead and wounded, after all, Shanzhou City is the city of my Tang Dynasty, and it is the people of my Tang Dynasty.

If it is rumored that Your Majesty does not care about the life and death of the people for the sake of the war record, I am afraid that the hearts of the people we have lost will not be able to be bought by 30,000 soldiers. ”

Li Er opened his mouth and didn't speak again for a long time.

"Hey, it's okay, convene the council in the council hall.

Inform Jian Zhi by telegram that the military situation is urgent and ask him to return to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

On the other side, Bai Fan looked at the urgent military report sent by Du Ruhui, saying that the war in the southwest had been frustrated, and His Majesty asked him to hurry back to the Beijing Palace to discuss.

"Hmph, it's embarrassing to use such a simple trick? Your Majesty is really boring, and you want to trick me into going back and throwing myself into the net? How can it be? The poppy is absolutely unusable, the Opium War is the most inhumane, this kind of thing that has been stinking for thousands of years should not appear in Datang, because Datang has the self-confidence to have real strength to crush all opponents.

This Lao Du is also, the prime minister who has seen drug addiction with his own eyes, is he still working so hard to be an accomplice to His Majesty? ”

So Bai Fan, who didn't believe it at all, directly replied to a telegram mocking Lao Du and Emperor Li Erfan, saying that don't use this kind of childish trick, even my four-year-old son will not be fooled.

Lao Du covered his face after reading it, why did this still make an oolong?

Explain again, Bai Fan still doesn't believe it, so three times, Bai Fan only has one sentence in the end, he can't live or die, unless the sky falls.

In the council hall, Li Er announced the matter, looked around, and everything that should have arrived arrived, and even the old marshal Li Jing, who was idle at home, was invited to participate in the military plane.

"How long will it take for Jian Zhi to arrive?"

"This, this, I'm afraid Jian Zhi won't come, he ......"

"Oh? He dares to disobey? Or is he really only a civil servant and ignores the military from now on? Li Erfa asked.

Du Ruhui handed over a few notes, "No, he misunderstood, this is a telegram ......"

Li Eryi's head immediately became big, this product really didn't deserve it, and the chain fell off at the critical moment.

"Forget it, after all, this telegram is no better than a real person, let's talk about him later."

Li Jing asked, "Your Majesty, what is a telegram?" ”

Du Ruhui hurriedly introduced the telegraph, and the ministers in the palace were curious, and they all wanted to experiment with this magical transmission of thousands of miles.

"This thing is miraculous, if there is this thing in the army, then there is no need to rush for eight hundred miles, and even His Majesty can sit in the palace and directly command the battlefield." Li Jing praised.

When Li Jing, the old man who had already made up his mind to retire, saw this baby, he even regretted that he retired early, if he had this thing a long time ago, maybe his record would be even more brilliant.

The speaker has no intention of listening, and Emperor Li Er has an idea, yes, if you can really command a battle from a distance, it will definitely be a big event that can go down in history, well, you can give it a try.

The military affairs in the southwest were temporarily put on hold, and the discussion in the council hall was divided into two factions, one group advocated confrontation and less sacrifice, and the other group advocated that while the hatred of the people in the southwest for Tibet had not yet dissipated, it should be swept and pursued in one go.

So Li Er didn't think about it for the time being, and then he took Du Ruhui with him and came to Zhongnan Academy.

Bai Fan saw that the two main owners had chased him to his house, and when he asked, he realized that he had misunderstood and that the war was real.

"I'm not here today for the poppy, not for the telegraph, but purely for the Southwest.

The thunder is your invention, but now we are being held in the hands of the enemy to restrain ourselves, which is really humiliating.

Do you, the creator, have any ways to deal with the thunder? Li Er said sincerely.

Bai Fan shook his head, and secretly said in his heart, I believe that you are a ghost, and such a trivial matter as a city is not worth your trip.

"No, the original design of the thunderbolt was considered to be absolutely confidential, it would not be leaked, and no countermeasures were added.

However, this kind of universal individual weapon pursues convenience and practicality, and anyone can use it, and it is impossible to design countermeasures. ”

"So, do you have a way to break the city that they are guarding with thunder? Or, do you have any superior weapons than thunder? As long as it can reduce the damage of the Tang soldiers, anything will do. Li Er urged.

Bai Fan smiled: "No."

Your Majesty, haven't you seen it yet?

At the beginning, the thunder was an absolute weapon in our hands, and no one could stop it.

Our secrecy measures are also very appropriate, but in the end we will inevitably fall into the hands of the enemy and be used by the enemy, which shows that the victory in war seems to be not only the strength of one weapon, but the most important thing is people.

If I come up with a way to break the city today, there will definitely be people who will know to follow suit in the future, and what if others are used by the enemies of Datang to deal with Datang's city? The sneak attack on Jiannan Province this time is an example.

I also have a divine weapon that surpasses the thunder, but a thunderbolt will bring us such trouble, and a more powerful weapon won't it?

This Tubo Li Xinzhong is fortunately just defending the city with thunder, what if he sends bastards to Chang'an to bomb the palace? Has Your Majesty ever thought about it? ”

This...... Hiss......

Li Er and Du Ruhui gasped together, yes, this thing is not a bow and crossbow, in case one of them is made by an undercover agent to explode around him, I'm afraid it will be crippled if it doesn't die.

"This, this, this, Jane, what should I do? Your Majesty's safety. Lao Du said anxiously.

"Hehe, this can only be strictly guarded against.

Now that both sides of the enemy and us have thunderstorms, and the starting line of the war has been flattened, then we must rely on military strategy to face the enemy head-on. ”

"Okay, what Jian Zhi said is right, it coincides with me, I will send a letter to Shumao Gong, and try my best to pacify Tibet in the southwest." Li Er laughed.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Hehe, now, isn't it time for us to talk about poppies?" Li Er stared at Bai Fan with a smile on his face and asked, like that, it was full of a fox's expression staring at the food, which made Bai Fan and Du Ruhui feel a chill.

Bai Fan: "......"
