Chapter Sixty-Nine: Expedited Military Intelligence
This is a painting boat.
And at first glance, it looks like the kind of thing that can only be played by the gate valve of the noble clan, and the huge pleasure ship with a length of nearly thirty meters can be regarded as a behemoth, well, just for this era.
It is true that in the Qin and Han dynasties, there were many larger ships than this, and it is said that during the Qin Dynasty, the largest sea ships could even reach nearly 100 meters, tens of meters wide, and could transport nearly 1,000 soldiers at a time.
However, after the Three Kingdoms, the two Jin Dynasty were powerless, and the shipbuilding technology was completely ruined, and now the fifty-meter big ship could not be built, which was completely locked in the land of China for nearly a thousand years after the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Li Kong knows a lot of shipbuilding techniques, but compared to steel warships, he really can't build this kind of wooden ship, and he doesn't know if there are big ships in the Eastern Roman Empire now? Do you want to find a way to get some?
"Brother Kong, look, they're guessing riddles, should we go over and participate?" Just when Li Kong was thinking nonsense, Li Tai suddenly pulled his sleeve and had a eager expression on his face.
Not much different from his previous life, Li Tai still likes poetry and literary classics, and his personal literary accomplishment is second only to Li Chengqian among all princes, and because of his young age, he likes to be in the limelight and has a strong sense of vanity.
Li Kong glanced at this guy in amazement, then looked at the other three people, and then said: "If you want to play, go play, but don't make any noise, the impact is not good." ”
"Under the world, there are all laws and regulations, as long as you don't destroy the image of your father, nothing else matters." Li Chengqian said with a smile, and then walked straight to the open space in front of Li Tai, Li Ke and Li You, staring at the riddles hanging on the painting boat.
"Shall we not take a look?" Li Li asked curiously looking at Li Kong, who was standing in place.
"No, let's take a good rest here, appreciate the height of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and experience the warmth before this cold winter, don't you think it's very enjoyable?" Li Kong responded with a smile, in fact, to put it bluntly, he is relatively lazy, and he doesn't know much about poetry and songs.
For that reason, he knew more about military poetry, and other literature and the like could basically be described as ignorant, and he never thought of making a reputation for being a talent.
Now he is a more perfect image in Li Li's heart, and he will never let anything that may destroy his image appear, well, this riddle is relatively dull.
Li Li didn't doubt him, and remembered what Li Kong said in the courtyard, she was a little shy, and simply sat next to Li Kong, her eyes flickered and looked at the Weishui not far away, a few fish jumped out of the water in the sparkling waves, splashing a ripple, and when the cold winter was coming, these animals began to bloom to the last glory of the year.
The sky is high and the water is wide, and everything seems so beautiful.
Although he has enough habits for this kind of pristine scenery, Li Kong's heart is still a little dreamlike, there is no way, it is really a shadow that was nurtured by that kind of air in his previous life.
Not far away, two plain-looking men leaned together and muttered a few words, and then one quickly dodged away, while the other walked towards him.
Li Kong knows the identities of the two, they are all secret guards in the Xuanjia Guard, and they have only been separated from the Xuanjia Guard in the past two years, part of it is used to protect the people in the royal family, and part of it is used to transmit news, and there is a huge intelligence organization under them to collect all the information around it.
"Young Master Li, Your Majesty has an order to let the crown prince and several princes return to the palace immediately, and you also have to go over for a trip, there is an urgent military situation!"
“……”
Li Kong was a little confused, was there a war in the fourth year of Zhenguan? Didn't you? Have it? Anyway, Li Kong can't remember it clearly, after all, he has been here for a long time, and he has almost forgotten many details, plus the current Datang has already embarked on a different path compared with the original historical Datang, and the things he knows are now completely in vain.
However, since it can be called an urgent military situation, then presumably the matter has reached a very tricky level, and Li Kong is not a person who can't distinguish priorities, when he stood up, he said, "I'll call a few of them, and I'll go back immediately." ”
As he spoke, Li Kong walked in the direction of the painting boat, Li Lizhi beside him was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything, as a girl who took the queen mother as an example, Li Lizhi knew that men should not be disturbed when they were doing things, otherwise something very bad would happen.
Next to the painting boat, Li Chengqian and Li Ke stood on the periphery, and Li You followed Li Tai like a dog's leg.
"Have you had enough?"
Li Kong's words made Li Chengqian stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Kong and said, "Brother Kong? How? Can't help but want to play two? ”
"Fart two, hurry up and call Li Tai, there's something!" Li blanked Li Chengqian's glance and turned to leave.
Seeing that what Li Kong said did not seem to be false, Li Chengqian hurriedly commanded Li Ke to call Li Tai back, although he was very unhappy, but Li Tai was not that kind of squirrel, he simply refused everyone's envious eyes, and flew out of the crowd as if he fled.
At the same time, in the Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin's eyes were firmly fixed on the military map on the wall, after Li Kong's guidance and improvement, the current map is not a little bit better than three years ago, although it is more than a step worse than the satellite map, but in terms of refinement, it can definitely throw the previous map out a hundred streets.
Behind him, Li Jing, Li Tao, Cheng Yanjin, Hou Junji, Eldest Sun Wuji and other important ministers lined up on both sides, with a solemnity on their faces that was difficult to hide.
After a long time, Li Shimin turned around and said: "Goguryeo has been honest for nearly ten years, why is it suddenly sending troops to Liaodong now?" Aren't they afraid that the Eastern Turks will stab them in the back? ”
"Maybe the two sides have formed an alliance, but our first consideration now is how to deal with the attack of Goguryeo, now that the cold winter is coming, the climate in Liaodong has entered the cold early, if we send troops, the difficulty will be very great, and even the defeat of the Emperor Yang period will be staged, but if you don't care, and you can't explain to the people of the world, this Goguryeo is really looking for a good time!"
Fang Xuanling analyzed that without Du Ruhui by his side, he felt a huge pressure alone.
Everyone was silent, as Fang Xuanling said, it is not beneficial to send troops or not to send troops at this time, it can be said to be a dilemma.
The main thing is that they also have to worry about whether the Eastern Turks will unite with Goguryeo, and if so, their crisis will be even greater and more severe!
