Chapter 22 "Bragging"

Li Shen paused, and continued: "But in the eyes of the little nephew, it is indeed a big defeat, sacrificing more than 3,000 soldiers and wasting countless grains and grass, I don't know how much loot Uncle Li can get?" Will it be able to make up for the loss of this battle? ”

"This... Where is there money to be made in war? Li Ji knew that Li Shen must have a better way, and before leaving, His Majesty also arranged for someone to inform him, and he had to listen to his opinion on everything, so he said with a slight embarrassment.

"It seems impossible to you, but it seems to me that everything is possible." Li Shen replied lightly, and continued: "Since this matter has passed, so be it, but the little nephew still hopes that the two uncles can obey my military orders, otherwise I am afraid that the two uncles will not be able to explain to them when they return to Chang'an City." ”

Li Ji nodded and said, "In this case, everything should be done according to you, the old man wants to see how you lead the soldiers to achieve the greatest victory with the smallest loss." ”

"Thank you for being such a little nephew." Li Shen said with a smile, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Li Ji was also a goddamn good guy, give him some face, he really thought he was amazing.

Li Ji nodded and asked, "Next, what should Dashuai do?" ”

"I don't have a plan for the time being, I'll talk about it when the army arrives later." Li Shen replied.

"Do you have a specific plan?" Li Ji asked.

Li Shen shook his head with a smile and said, "Not yet." ”

looked at Li Ji and Niu Jinda, who were stunned, and continued: "The secret can't be said for the time being, and if you say it, it won't work." ”

"Whatever you want, since you have a plan, the old man won't say anything, but don't delay it too long, you won't be able to explain it to Your Majesty at that time, and I'm afraid Silla won't be able to support much time." Li Ji said.

Li Shenleng paused for a moment and said, "Was it Goryeo who attacked Baekje?" How did it turn into an attack on Silla? ”

Niu Jinda twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly, the boss didn't even know who was attacking anyone, it was really the first time he had heard of it, fortunately, there was nothing wrong with attacking Goryeo, otherwise it would be a big joke in the world, and he said angrily: "It was Goryeo and Baekje who attacked Silla." ”

Li Shen stretched out his hand and scratched his head with an embarrassed face, and said, "It doesn't matter, anyway, these mallets have to be cleaned up, no matter who he is." ”

Li Ji and Niu Jinda glanced at each other, Li Ji looked at Li Shen and asked, "Dashuai, what do you mean?" ”

"Let's talk about it then."

Niu Jinda swallowed, looked at Li Shen, and asked, "Dashuai, you don't want to annex all these three kingdoms, do you?" Do you know what the consequences of this are? ”

"What can be the consequences?" Li Shen asked indifferently.

"What consequences? Do you know how do we think of Datang in the dozens of small countries around Datang? When they join forces, do you think Datang will be able to tug at such a long combat line? Li Ji said angrily, stood up and pointed at Li Shen, and said: "Li Chengqian, the old man doesn't care what you do, but you will never be allowed to act recklessly and ignore the safety of the people of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Two uncles, you really think too much." Li Shen said helplessly, he was thinking about it! It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but the conditions are limited, and he can't help it.

"It's really scared to death old man, but I have to tell you not to come nonsense." Li Ji sat down and exhaled, and then said: "The envoy of Silla is in this city, you will see you tomorrow, how can you say that you are also the commander-in-chief." ”

Li Shen nodded slightly and said, "Did the envoy of Silla say something?" ”

"If you can say anything, just help them drive out the combined army of Goryeo and Baekje as soon as possible, and give them justice." Li Ji said, then stood up, and said to Li Shen: "It's not too early, you are tired after such a day's journey." ”

Li Shen nodded, watched Li Ji and Niu Jinda walk out, looked at Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo's gazes, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Brother Qian, are you okay?" Cheng Chumo asked.

Li Shen shook his head and said, "What can happen, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and it is impossible to be a person and everything goes well." ”

"Brother Qian, what are your plans next?" Qin Huaiyu asked.

"Not yet, wait until Su Dingfang and them come over, after all, this army is completely under Li Ji's command, I'm afraid we won't be able to mobilize him." Li Shen said lightly.

"This old dog is also self-righteous." Cheng Chu said silently.

Li Shen glared at Cheng Chumo, and said indifferently: "Be careful that the wall has ears, it doesn't matter, anyway, I don't count on them, as long as they don't cause me trouble." ”

"Brother Qian, are we just waiting?" Qin Huaiyu asked.

"You have a good idea, tomorrow you will bring me a team of people to inquire about the whereabouts of saltpeter mines and sulfur, and get me as many as I have, and then find a big house in this city, and put it under martial law, and transport it all."

"Brother Qian, what the hell are you doing with these stones and sulfur? Can't you tell us yet? Cheng Chumo asked in a low voice.

Li Shen smiled and said, "Yes, it's a new weapon, I call it a hot weapon, and I call it a cold weapon that we are using now." War is about to change, the world is about to change, and future wars will be based on technology. ”

Looking at the puzzled faces of the two, Li Shen shook his head, and continued: "I told you that these things are not of any use at all, and when these things come out and are used on the battlefield, you will know." However, I still want to tell you that future wars do not depend on the number of people, but on the advanced level of weapons, and they can be accurately hit thousands of miles away. ”

"Hahaha~~~ Brother Qian, this bull is also blowing, it can be accurately hit thousands of miles away, this is the means of the gods, I can still believe it, how can people do it." Cheng Chu said with a smile while holding his stomach.

Seeing Cheng Chu roll to the ground, Li Shen twitched the corners of his mouth, this bull is a little too big, and now he said to the ancients that people will one day go to the moon in the future, others must think that you are a psychopath, and said: "Believe it or not, do you think Lao Tzu can lie to you?" ”

Cheng Chumo got up from the ground, looked at Li Shen with a face full of disbelief, and said, "Brother Qian, you won't say it's true, right?" Can people really do it? ”

"I can't do it." Li Shen said angrily.

"Brother Qian, are all of this true?" Qin Huaiyu swallowed his breath and asked, he felt that Li Shen had not lied to him, and it was very likely that he would really have such a weapon.

Li Shen nodded slightly, and said lightly: "But it is estimated that it is difficult to see in your life, and our juniors really have this hope if they work hard." ”
