The performance of the Divine Arm Crossbow can be said to have taken everyone present by surprise, especially the dozens of hundred cavalry guards, it was the first time they had seen such a powerful crossbow, before that, they felt that only the Fuyuan crossbow could have such power.

The Fuyuan crossbow is a bed crossbow that, although it has a great range and power, is cumbersome in terms of transportation, and it also requires two people to operate.

In contrast, the advantages of the god arm crossbow are too many, not only can be carried by a single person, but also with the pedaling that can be stepped on, with the help of the power of the feet and hands, a person can directly pull the string to shoot, the practicality is greatly enhanced, it can be called a battlefield weapon!

The Divine Arm Crossbow is a good thing, not only Gao Ming and the Hundred Cavalry Guards know this, but even Li Su, a guy who often makes mistakes in his brain, also knows it clearly, and after seeing the power of the Divine Arm Crossbow, he immediately jumped up.

"Oh, big brother, this is a good thing, if you dedicate it to your father, then your father will definitely reward us heavily, let's go back to Chang'an now!"

Looking at Li Su with an excited face, Gao Ming shook his head with a smile.

"I made this thing out for hunting, and besides, it's hard for us to come out once, and it will be shameless to go back empty-handed."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately waved his hand towards the hundred cavalry guards behind him.

"There are a total of twelve crossbows here, come to twelve good techniques, follow me to hunt Nanshan, today the master is happy, the people who go will be rewarded with the same money, and the most prey will be rewarded with ten dollars, and they will go!"

"Yes!"

With Gao Ming's order, more than 50 hundred cavalry guards mounted their war horses one after another, and then followed Gao Ming to go hunting.

The hundred cavalry guards are worthy of being killers, and the speed at which they master weapons is not ordinarily fast, and soon they became proficient in playing with the divine arm crossbow, and with the improvement of their proficiency, the speed at which Gao Ming and his party obtained prey also began to accelerate.

Benben was not idle, in the hunting process, every time a prey was shot to the ground, this guy immediately rushed up and bit for a while, and then proudly took the prey back to Gao Ming, making Gao Ming laugh.

In the afternoon, except for Gao Ming and Li Su, the rest of the people's war horses were more or less hung with some prey, the small ones were rabbits, golden pheasants, lynxes, and the big ones were deer, wild boars, etc., which could be said to be very fruitful.

Gao Ming is not an insatiable person, and when he saw that he had gained so much, he immediately waved his hand.

"Stop it, leave the rest for the autumn queen and fight again, now I order, everyone will go home!"

"Obey the Prince's orders!"

With Gao Ming's order, everyone returned with their prey, and after returning to the manor, without waiting for Gao Ming's orders, everyone began to consciously deal with the prey, Gao Ming was not stingy, and directly ordered to add dinner in the evening, which attracted everyone's applause.

After eating, Gao Ming went back to rest, and then returned to Chang'an with people early the next morning.

After returning to Chang'an, Gao Ming first went to the royal club, and after learning that nothing had happened in the past two days, he returned to the palace with peace of mind.

After Gao Ming returned to the East Palace, he was naturally inevitably greeted by Su Wan'er and them, and in the face of his family's concern, Gao Ming of course did not feel annoyed, and patiently answered their questions one by one.

Especially Li Ju, although the little guy is usually afraid of Gao Ming, but this time when he saw Gao Ming coming back, he also got into Gao Ming's arms and cried, which made Gao Ming a little moved in addition to crying and laughing.

It was also at this moment that Gao Ming suddenly realized that he already had a feeling called "home" for this place.

"This is my home!"

Just when Gao Ming's heart was full of emotion, Liu Bing came.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty invites you to go to the imperial study to discuss matters!"

Hearing Liu Bing's words, Gao Ming immediately nodded.

"Okay, I'll go!"

After speaking, Gao Ming gently hugged Su Wan'er again, and then smiled at her.

"Wan'er, prepare the rice, I'll come back to eat it later!"

Feeling Gao Ming's intimate movements, Su Wan'er suddenly nodded with a red face.

"Yes, Lang Jun!"

After leaving the East Palace, Gao Ming followed Liu Bing to the imperial study, at this time Li Shimin was fiddling with a divine arm crossbow in the courtyard of the imperial study, and Li Su was standing next to him with a flattering face.

Seeing Gao Ming coming, Li Su immediately smiled at him.

"Big brother, you're here, just now my father was still praising you that this crossbow is a divine weapon!"

Hearing Li Su's words, Gao Ming also laughed.

"If this crossbow was twenty or thirty years ago, it would indeed be a weapon of the gods, but now, it can only be regarded as a good hunting tool."

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin immediately showed an interested look.

"What do you mean by that?"

Looking at Li Shimin's smiling expression, Gao Ming suddenly shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Isn't that obvious? The more powerful bed crossbows were used for siege and defense, while the cavalry used more convenient bows and arrows, so this crossbow was used against the infantry. ”

Gao Ming is telling the truth, because history has proved that before the appearance of machine guns, large-scale cavalry charges can be said to be incomprehensible, even if the crossbow can shoot two hundred meters away, but the cavalry only needs more than ten seconds to run away from a distance of two hundred meters, and the rest is slaughter.

The only one who can deal with cavalry is cavalry, and Li Shimin also knows this, so after hearing Gao Ming's words, he immediately nodded.

"That's a good point, keep moving!"

"Yes!"

Gao Ming nodded, and then continued.

"Twenty or thirty years ago, as long as our enemy was the Sui army and the warlord forces in various places, these forces were basically infantry, so the role of the divine arm crossbow should be very great, but now that the four sides have been pacified, so the use of this divine arm crossbow is naturally not great, unless it is ......"

Seeing that Gao Ming didn't say anything halfway through, Li Shimin immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Unless what? But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming's eyes suddenly rolled, and then he grinned, revealing two rows of Bai Sensen's teeth.

"Unless you want to fight Goguryeo!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin immediately burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, I know that you can definitely guess it, since you guessed it, then let's talk about your thoughts!"

Hearing Li Shimin's opinion, Gao Ming immediately nodded.

"Okay, then I'll be straightforward, my idea is that I can't fight!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin immediately frowned.

"Why? Do you also think that I am a reckless soldier? ”

Looking at Li Shimin's unhappy expression, Gao Ming immediately understood that he must have been stimulated by those civil servants who were full of benevolence and morality when he was in the court.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately shook his head.

"Of course not, I mean that you can't fight Goguryeo now, not that you can't fight in the future."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately smiled at Li Shimin.

"At the beginning, Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo, although some of it was his great joy, but there was also a big reason that he planned to use the expedition to Goguryeo to alleviate the increasingly acute contradictions in the country, but unfortunately he failed, but accelerated the demise of the Sui Dynasty."

After listening to Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin immediately nodded.

"I understand what you mean, you mean that now the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, so there is no need for me to conquer Goguryeo, but now Goguryeo has a heart of disobedience, not only refusing to pay tribute, but also attacking my Tang Dynasty's vassal country Silla, how can I let it go?"

Looking at Li Shimin's resentful look, Gao Ming suddenly showed a wry smile.

"I didn't say it doesn't matter, but it's really inconvenient for us to start a full-scale war with them now, it's better like this, isn't Hou Junji in Andong Protectorate? Your next decree is that he will go to Goguryeo now, not to attack the city and kill the enemy, but to destroy their crops outside the city. ”

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin immediately shook his head.

"No, if we don't attack the city and pull out the village, it will be impossible for our Tang army to penetrate deep into Goguryeo, but just destroy the crops close to the Andong Protectorate, which will have no effect on Goguryeo."

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming immediately nodded.

"I know this, and I didn't expect to defeat Goguryeo in this way, but old man, do you think, if our troops are coming to the city, will Goguryeo have to increase its troops? Since you want to increase the army, is it necessary to increase taxes? We have a lot of resources in the Tang Dynasty, we can afford it, but they are different, as long as it drags on for three or five years, when the time comes, we don't need to fight, they will be in chaos internally. ”

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin immediately slapped his face.

"Yes, we can afford it, but they can't afford it, the more they increase their troops, the more they consume, if they don't increase their troops, then I will pull out their city, hahahaha!"

Looking at Li Shimin, who was laughing, Gao Ming's face also had a smile.

"That's it, if this strategy succeeds, it is certainly gratifying, even if you lose, you can find an excuse to cut Hou Junji down, this is called killing two birds with one stone!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin suddenly slapped the table.

"Okay, that's it, after tomorrow's court meeting, I will issue an order to declare war on Goguryeo, and you two should go back!"

After speaking, Li Shimin got up and went into the imperial study to write the holy decree, and after he entered, Li Sucai, who was stunned on the side, looked at Gao Ming with a look of admiration.

"Big brother, you are so powerful, how do you know this? Is it okay to teach me? ”

Looking at Li Su, who was looking at him with admiration, Gao Ming suddenly smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"You'll know if you read more, but I think it's too hard for you, so you just need to live well."

“……”

After leaving the imperial study, Gao Ming went back to the East Palace directly, at this time Su Wan'er had already prepared lunch, and after Gao Ming went back, he ate a full meal, and then hugged his daughter-in-law and took a nap comfortably.

Wen Yu was in his arms, and the corners of Gao Ming's mouth suddenly hooked up a smile.

"Happiness is as simple as that."
