Chapter 152: Expedition

Li Shen looked at this group of people who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, smiled slightly, and the anger in his heart disappeared a lot, he was already approaching the new year, and he wanted to spend this New Year happily with his family, but who knew that such a thing would happen.

"You go and gather with Su Dingfang first, Lone will go out for a few days in advance, and then he will catch up with you, and any action will wait until Lone arrives to make a decision, and defense will be the main thing."

"The last general commands." Qin Huaiyu and the others clasped their fists and said.

Rushing to the prince's mansion, all the people in the family were waiting anxiously.

Su Haitang looked at Li Shen who walked in, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what happened?" ”

"Tubo united with various small vassal states to besiege the Tang Dynasty, and set out on a lone horse."

As Li Shen finished speaking, the air in the whole room seemed to condense, Su Haitang's facial expression froze, and the action of opening his mouth to bite down also stopped, Li Shen smiled slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, he took his feelings more seriously, especially when it was approaching the end of the year, in his opinion, no matter what happened, no matter how big something happened, the family should spend the year happily.

But he can't, the responsibility he bears on him makes him unable to choose, there are still a few days left for the New Year, and if he doesn't speed up his journey to the frontier in a few days, many innocent people will be buried under the butcher's knife of these invaders.

"Out of ...... Expedition? You, you're lying to me again, what time is it now, how are you going to go on the expedition? Besides, you can't fight, what are you going to fight? Su Haitang's frozen expression began to melt, the ruddy began to fade, and the paleness took its place, but a reluctant smile bloomed on her face, as if the subconscious had already believed, but still couldn't accept the feeling.

The last expedition was less than two months old, and she was worried all day long, hoping that he would return safely every day and night, but now she is going on an expedition again, and there are so many generals in the DPRK and China, so she needs him to go on the expedition as a prince.

"Xianggong, don't you go on the expedition, okay?" Hou Peipei cried and pulled Li Shen and said.

"Daddy, Daddy." Li Xiang and Li Ju shouted with red eyes.

Li Shen smiled, the unspeakable uncomfortable feeling in his heart became more and more intense, and he always felt that if he continued like this, he would be defeated by their complaining eyes, and then he stayed and accompanied them regardless of it, but could it? Said: "Okay, you can wait at home with peace of mind, it won't take much time, and you will return safely." Pepe went to pack some clothes for Lonely. ”

Saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Li Shen was wearing bright silver armor, with an unsheathed sword pinned to his waist, looked at his family members with sorrowful faces, and said with a smile: "Wait for Gu to come back." ”

"Xianggong, promise all the way, we will wait for you to come back." Hou Peipei cried and shouted loudly.

"Drive~~~"

Led more than fifty members of the dark night to quickly run towards the outside of the imperial city, still blown by the cold wind on his cheeks, I don't know if the wind lost his eyes and couldn't help but shed tears, or the sadness of parting in his heart increased the sadness, so he couldn't help but shed tears, this battle was an unknown for Li Shen, the time was too urgent, so that he didn't have the slightest time to prepare.

"Woohoo~~~"

Xue Rengui tightly grabbed the reins, stopped aside, and stretched out his hand to follow the almost a thousand soldiers in armor with expressionless faces and murderous aura, each with two war horses by their side, ready to take turns to replace, and said: "Your Highness, the last general is here to escort Your Highness on the order of General Su." ”

Li Shen nodded and said in a low voice, "These people are reliable? ”

Xue Rengui nodded slightly.

"Has the cannon already been delivered?"

"It has already started to be delivered, but the pills are not very sufficient, about five hundred, and the rest of General Su are left to others, but blacksmiths have begun to be recruited along the way, and when the Yumen Pass is reached, the pills can be cast, and it shouldn't delay anything too much."

Li Shen nodded and said, "Go directly to the Dark Night Headquarters." ”

"Your Highness is going to get the latest weapons?" Xue Rengui's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly, and then said: "Your Highness, let me play when the time comes, I heard them say that this weapon is really cool, and it will be a large ...... when you open it."

"Don't talk so much nonsense, hurry up."

The dark night headquarters is also Li Shen's only hope now, the small machine tool brought was arranged for someone to be sent secretly as early as the day after it was brought, and the drawings of the machine gun were also sent over, a few days ago, Daxiong came to the news that the machine gun had been successfully developed, and he also told them to speed up the construction of bullets, and he didn't know what the situation was now.

Li Shen estimated that a dozen or twenty machine guns were about the same, and if the elixir was sufficient, he would let them all stay. I hope the heavens can bless him, otherwise he will have to adopt the tactics of defensive warfare, and slowly consume them with pimple bombs, but what about other places? The army of hundreds of thousands is really not good, and the Tang Dynasty will really enter the stage of extinction.

Out of the imperial city, all the people on both sides of the street were standing full, everyone's faces were full of sorrow, the emergency military situation people already knew, even they were shocked by a surprise, they were all preparing for the New Year's goods, who would have thought that such a thing would happen. They all waited outside, wanting to wait for the arrival of the holy decree and see what the imperial court was doing.

Now the people can be said to have one heart for the invasion of foreign races, after the Wuhu Rebellion and other incidents, the people know that if they are not united, what they are waiting for is the crisis of extermination, and this kind of large-scale war is no longer a matter of the imperial court, but all of them are implicated.

After all, it was only two or three hundred years after the Wuhu Rebellion, the Western Jin Dynasty reigned in 282 A.D., the Han people in the entire North China region were about 20 million, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was about 310 A.D. The population was about 12 million people, and when the Later Zhao Dynasty fell, the population of the entire North China region was only 3 million, including the birth of babies in 50 years, that is, the time of 50 years, and the death of the Han people in the entire North China region definitely exceeded 20 million.

"General, general, I want to ask, what is the situation in the imperial court now?"

"Yes! General, now that Tubo has united various states to besiege our Tang Dynasty, what is the current move of the imperial court? ”

"General, general, when will the DPRK issue a conscription order? Xiao Lao'er also has a son in his family, if the court needs it, Xiao Lao'er and his son will defend my Han family with the army at any time and drive away the invasion of tigers and wolves. An old man in his fifties stopped Li Shen's car with excitement on his face and said loudly.
