The true pearl of the Xueyanta Khanate, the Khan of Viga, looked at the mang:

"Lu Mang, are the three Li Tang envoys still there?" Prince Reckless replied respectfully:

"Father Khan! Ling Jing, Yan Liben, and Chu Suiliang are very good with me! The child mobilized a lot of guards to protect the three of them every step of the way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Xue Yantuo Khanate True Pearl Viga Khan Yi Nan nodded.

"Hmmm! Very good! Trolling. Help Ben Khan go again, go find them, and let them help us Xue Yantuo Khanate to make peace with Li Tang! And, hopefully, they'll lower the price a little bit! ”

"Yes! Father Khan! The child will do his best! Xue Yantuo Khanate True Pearl Viga Khan Yinan nodded. After Prince Shuffle returned to his station. Ling Jing smiled and said to Prince Reckless:

"Your Royal Highness! I heard that Prince Bazhuo led his troops to the Tianci Copper Mine! Prince Reckless nodded.

"Looking at the look of His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that he has brought good news."

"Lord Ling Jing! How so! ”

"Humph! Your Royal Highness! In fact, it is very simple, because the Tianci Copper Mine is well defended, and General Li Yaoshi is also the most capable general of our Li Tang. I have enough confidence in General Li Yaoshi. And Prince Bazhuo's reputation has long been heard of in Xia, and I really don't dare to compliment Brother Ling's talent! Prince Trolley laughed.

"Hahahaha! Lord Ling Jing is really a clever plan! Indeed, the younger brother was indeed besieged by your army. And the three tribes of Tongluo, Baye, and Fugu who participated this time were all involved, and now the entire Xueyantuo Khanate is in a mess! This is not! Let Xiao Wang come to the three adults to discuss, how to reconcile with Datang? Ling Jing and Yan Liben laughed, only Yan Liben said angrily:

"Humph! Do it yourself! The face of the prince was slightly displeased:

"Hey! Lord Chu Suiliang! That's a bit wicked! Yan Liben secretly pulled Chu Suiliang. Ling Jing smiled and said to Prince Reckless:

"Your Royal Highness! Don't mind, Lord Chu Suiliang is just a little grumpy recently after being locked up, but in fact, this matter is not difficult to handle. As long as your country can show sincerity. In that case, everything is easy to say. "Prince Lu Mang knew that Ling Jing was going to talk about business.

"Ahh Lord Ling Jing, the amount proposed by your country is too huge, and my country is really ......," Ling Jing laughed.

"His Royal Highness Prince Reckless! You're misunderstanding what you mean. In the next is to say, this time the ransom of the prince of Bazhuo! ”

"What?" Prince Lu Mang originally thought that he only needed to be soft in front of Li Jiancheng and put on a humble appearance, and then he would automatically become Li Tang's vassal courtier. Then Li Tang's court will take advantage of this to get off the donkey, and then put the attitude more sincerely, appropriately reduce the number of dowries, and even get some rewards, this kind of kowtow a few heads in exchange for a large number of material transactions, the Central Plains court often did in the past. However, what Prince Lu Mang didn't expect was that Li Jiancheng, who came from later generations, didn't like to do this kind of business, plus Ling Jing had received Li Jiancheng's instructions before he came, so he naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity.

"Lord Ling Jing! Our Xue Yantuo Khanate ......" Before Prince Lu Mang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ling Jing.

"Your Royal Highness! As far as I know, your second brother, His Royal Highness Prince Bazhuo, seems to be a little at odds with you! Prince Reckless nodded.

"Isn't that right? When the time comes, we Li Tang will desperately raise the price and never pay back! If His Royal Highness's father is unwilling to pay this ransom, wouldn't it be exactly what His Royal Highness the Prince wants! ”

"What if Father Khan has to keep the Bazhuo?" Ling Jing smiled weirdly:

"Wouldn't that be better! The true pearl of the Xueyanta Khanate, the Khan of Viga, was greatly disappointed, and His Royal Highness the Prince took the opportunity to win over, and His Majesty the Khan abdicated, killing three birds with one stone! Kill three birds with one stone! Prince Reckless thought for a moment and nodded. After Prince Lu Mang came out of Ling Jing, Chu Suiliang, and Yan Liben, he immediately secretly contacted his uncle and returned to the leader of the Hui Dynasty.

"How? Trolling, what do they say? Prince Trolling shook his head.

"No! Uncle! Li Tang's envoys did not let go. ”

"And what do they want to do?"

"Uncle! Actually, it is also a good thing for Li Tang's envoys to do this! ”

"Oh!" Prince Lu Mang told Ling Jing's plan to Tu Wei, the leader of the Hui Dynasty.

"Uncle! Actually, I also think that what Li Tang's envoy said in this matter is reasonable! Tumi nodded, then shook his head.

"Reckless! It's not a good time for us to go back to the people! ”

"Uncle! What do you think? The trouble he caused by pulling out the scorching was naturally that he pulled out the scorching to block it, what did Yantuo Dudu do? Also, this time, it was the ancient city of Fugu Sain, Roddy Split, and Baye who followed Bazhuo. The Yantuo clan and the three tribes of Fugu, Baye, and Tongluo should all come out. In this way, it happened to once again divide the relationship between Bazhuo and the three tribes of Fugu, Tongluo, and Baye. When Tu Shui heard this, he smiled slightly and nodded. He came to the face of the true pearl of the Xueyanta Khanate, the Khan of Vija, and the Khan of Yinan. The true pearl of the Xueyanta Khanate, Viga Khan Yinan, asked the prince of Trolling:

"Reckless! Are the three envoys willing to help us reconcile with Li Tang? "The prince frowned, and said to the true pearl of the Xueyanta Khanate, the Khan of Viga Khan:

"Father Khan! It's useless to be a child! The three envoys of Li Tang did not let go, not only did they not let go, but they also asked us to pay another ransom to redeem the four people of Bazhuo, Fugu Sain, Tongluo Di, and Baye Ancient City! ”

"What? In addition to the original dowry, we are also asked to pay a ransom, how is this possible? Didn't you have a relationship with them? ”

"Father Khan! It's not that the children don't make a difference, it's that the three of them won't let go! "The true pearl of the Xue Yantuo Khanate, the Viga Khan, Yi Nan, still wanted to reprimand the prince of Lu Mang, but Tu Dense suddenly shouted loudly:

"Yantuo Dudu, this is all a big trouble for your precious nephew. We can't get this ransom back. ”

"That's it! It's not the trouble caused by our Khibi tribe, our Khibi tribe can't come out! ”

"We don't think about the tribe either! It's not that we think about it and get into trouble! Whoever is in trouble will be out! "Yantuo Dudu pleaded bitterly to the nine surnames of Tiele:

"Everyone, brothers, friends, please, please!" The Hun tribe and Ba Simi and Qarlu glared angrily at Yantuo Dudu.

"That is, your nephew of Yantuo Dudu caused trouble, causing our entire Xue Yantuo Khanate to suffer!" At this time, not only did the surname Tiele Jiu oppose, but even the clans within Xue Yantuo's headquarters also began to be dissatisfied with Yantuo Dudu. And the great patriarchs of the three tribes of Fugu, Tongluo, and Baye, such as Fugu Dayue, Tongluo Gangyi, and Baye Qinggou, directly rushed to Yantuo Dudu again. Constantly greeted Yantuo Dudu with his fists and feet:

"You troublemaker, call you to trap us, tell you to trap us."

"Enough!" The Khan of the Xueyanta Khanate, Zhenzhu Viga, immediately asked the guards to separate the servants from Gu Dayue, Luo Gangyi, Baye Qinggou and Yantuo Dudu, and did not let them be together.

"This is the case in advance, Ben Khan now orders that 100,000 cattle and sheep and 1,000 war horses be collected first, and my eldest son will be sent to Li Tang's Mobei military camp first. As for other things. We'll talk about that later! This time, the ransom will be paid by Xue Yantuo's Yantuo clan and ......" Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan looked at the three patriarchs of the three tribes of Fugu, Tongluo Gangyi and Baye Qinggou.

"Fugu Dayue, Tongluo Gangyi and Baye Green Dog!" The patriarchs of the three tribes of Fugu, Tongluo, and Baye Qinggou heard Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan calling him, and immediately turned to look at Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan.

"Khan!"

"Ben Khan knows you're unhappy!" Xue Yantuo True Pearl Viga Khan Yinan paused.

"Whether you are happy or not, your son is in the hands of Pharmacist Li after all, don't you want your son to come back?" In order to redeem his son and his nephew, Fugu Dayue, Tongluo Gangyi, Baye Qinggou and Yantuo Dudu desperately selected the fat cattle and sheep and the best war horses in the tribe. Xue Yantuo True Pearl Viga Khan Yinan nodded after seeing these things. Xiang Mang says:

"Excellent! Reckless! By the way, you can send Li Tang again! Hurry up and go to Kulun with Lord Ling Jing, Lord Chu Suiliang, and Lord Yan Liben! Give these things to Yakushi Li. First of all, redeem the sons of the great patriarchs of the three tribes of Fugu, Tongluo, and Baye, such as your younger brother Bazhuo and Fugu Dayue, Tongluo Gangyi and Baye Qinggou, etc.! And let's tell the meaning of Ben Khan to Master Li! I hope that Pharmacist Li can transfer our sincerity to Li Jiancheng. Then follow Lord Ling Jing, Lord Chu Suiliang, and Lord Yan Liben to Chang'an to beg Li Jiancheng. Let Li Jiancheng reduce the price! When Xue Yanta Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan said this, Lu Mang felt a trace of impatience in Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan's words. When Lu Mang, Ling Jing, Chu Suiliang, and Yan Liben came to Kulun with a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock.

"Ahh Lord Ling Jing, Lord Chu Suiliang, Lord Yan Liben, and His Royal Highness the Little Khan, the four guests came from afar, which really made the mansion shine brightly! Ling Jing, Chu Suiliang, and Yan Liben returned the salute to Li Jing, and Lu Mang was even more courteous and humble to Li Jing, and did not dare to slack off.

"Hmmm! General Li, Xiao Wang, I came this time because the younger brother was young and ignorant, and he actually led people to sneak attack the Tianci Mine, it was too much of a bastard, please read that the younger brother is young and ignorant, and those soldiers are innocent, please raise your noble hand and let go of the little brother and those captured sergeants. In addition, in order to calm the hearts of the general and all the soldiers, my father Khan specially ordered Xiao Wang to bring 100,000 cattle and sheep and 1,000 war horses as an apology, and please rest assured that for such behavior, my father Khan has already said that after returning to the Xueyantuo Khanate, he must strictly control the younger brother at that time! No mercy. Li Jing originally wanted to take advantage of this matter to knock on a stroke, but now, these things have been sent, and Li Jing is not entangled.

"The reckless little khan is too polite, come on! Bring the reckless little Khan over! When he arrived at the place where the prisoners were being held, he was dumbfounded.

When he arrived at the place where the prisoners were being held, he was dumbfounded. I saw that the captives had severed their hands and arms one by one, and their flesh and blood were dripping with blood. Some of those who were not seriously injured also knelt on the ground and prayed to heaven:

"Forgive your sins! Please forgive me! Forgive your sins! Please forgive me! "I wonder how they got hurt like this? I don't know what these people are afraid of? What is it that makes these people so afraid?

"Hmmm! Master Li, what's going on? Also, that...... Oh! Who is that Taishang Laojun, and how can these people be so afraid!? Li Jing smiled:

"Huh! What's this? Well! His Royal Highness Prince Lu Mang, you should know that our Emperor His Majesty Li Tang is a descendant of Taishang Laojun, prince, you must know that Taishang Laojun is a very capable person in the sky, and he is also a very powerful immortal! Let's tell you the truth! Just a few months ago, this official has received a secret decree from the emperor, telling this official, when is your country going to come to us to make trouble, originally I wanted to entertain Prince Bazhuo, but suddenly a big thunderbolt fell from the sky, and as a result, the three tribes of Lingdi and Fugu, Tongluo, and Baye were nothing! But these little 'followers' are not so lucky. Look, Prince, these people were all injured by the thunderbolts, and those who survived became like this. By the way, didn't His Royal Highness the Prince come to find Brother Ling? His Royal Highness the Prince, please! Lu Mang was taken by Li Jing to the place where Bazhuo and Fugu Sain, Tongluo Di, and Baye Ancient City were imprisoned. Ba Zhuo, Fu Gu Sain, Tong Luo Di, Ba Ye Ancient City and other four people each have a cell. The difference is that Bazhuo stayed alone in the corner of the cell and didn't say a word. I mumble vigorously, I don't know what to say? When the three of them, Gu Sain, Tong Luo Di, and Ba Ye Ancient City, saw the prince of Lu Mang, and immediately ran to the prison door, and shouted to Lu Mang with their hands:

"Ahh Brother Troll, you're here. ”

"Prince Reckless, are you here to save us?"

"Prince Troll, has my father brought you anything? I'm sorry you told me. "Trolley dealt with them one by one.

"Ahh The young head of the Fugu Sain, the young head of the same Luo Dilie, and the young head of the ancient city of Baye. Can you tell me what the hell is going on? He spoke first:

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, that day, we led the soldiers and horses to the vicinity of the Tianci Mine, and waited until the third watch in the middle of the night, when we saw that the Tianci Mine had turned off the lights and turned off the fire. We were moving quickly towards that place, and who knew that suddenly, there was fire everywhere, smoke everywhere, and a lot of people were suddenly injured, and I don't know why? Lu Mang listened confusedly, and only Li Jing, who was next to Lu Mang, knew what was going on. A few months ago, Li Jiancheng sent Di Renjie, the commander of the Qilin Secret Guard, to Mobei. And accompanied by thousands of soldiers and horses and more than a dozen carts. The cart was loaded with a lot of large iron boxes. And the people who move the boxes are very careful and very difficult. Someone tried to help them, but they were stopped and not allowed to come closer.

"Master Di, what the hell is going on with these boxes? Also, what's in it? Di Renjie smiled. Have someone open a box. I saw that there were some large irregular round stones. There was a hole in the stone, and the hole was connected to a long, but thin, silk thread.

"Master Di, what are these things for?" Di Renjie pointed to the contents of the box and said:

"General, this thing is called a landmine, and it is a weapon of mass destruction made by His Majesty recently with the Taoist priests of the National Teacher and Louguan, and gathered craftsmen from all over the world." Di Renjie took out a small mine and explained to Li Jing:

"General Yakushi, look! The shell of this mine is made of stone, pottery, and iron. The shape is made into a circle or square, a deep hole is dug in the middle, gunpowder is filled inside, and then the pestle is solid, leaving a small gap to insert a thin bamboo tube or reed pipe, and the fuse is drawn out inside, and then the mouth is sealed with pulp mud, and buried in the place where the enemy must pass, when the enemy is near, use the firing devices such as stepping hair, tripping hair, pulling hair, and igniting fire, to kill and injure the enemy. As soon as it touches the ignition mechanism, the mine explodes immediately. Its killing range can reach a radius of dozens of zhang, and it is extremely powerful. And in order to increase the lethality, we have installed a lot of steel needles in some mines, and once they explode, then the people and animals in the explosion area will definitely not be spared. After Li Jing heard Di Renjie's explanation, his confidence in his heart increased greatly.

"Hahaha! It's really great, with these divine weapons, then, when we defend the Tianci Copper Mine, it will be even more powerful. In order to hide people's eyes, Li Jing ordered that mines be laid around the walled city of the Tianci Copper Mine. The scope of activities of the miners inside the Tianci mine was delineated. They were not allowed to move around as they pleased, leaving only a secret passage to deliver food and water to the defenders and miners inside. When I got the news that Bazhuo was going to lead troops to attack the Tianci Mine. Li Jing sneered:

"Just let these people give it a try!?" Bazhuo led the troops to the area of the Tianci Mine, and saw the walled city of the Tianci Mine from a distance.

"All army ready! On ......" Servus Sain dissuaded Bazhuo and said:

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, a sneak attack at night is the best, and now it is daytime, and the Tianci Copper Mine will be on guard. Also, during the day, we will fight the Tianci mines, and the city of Kulun will come to reinforce it immediately. In my opinion, let's talk about it in the evening! When the prince heard this, he cried out:

"Humph! Coward! We are the true warriors of the Khanate of Xueyanta. Never afraid! Xue Yantuo's warriors, all listen to my instructions and rush forward for me! Rush! ...... "The three of Gungun, Rodi, and Baye Ancient City joined forces to hold Prince Bazhuo's horse's head—just kidding! Fugu Sain, Tongluo Di, and Baye Ancient City secretly informed Li Tang of the news. In case Li Tang is prepared, if there is anything scattered by Prince Bazhuo, no one from the three tribes of Fugu, Tongluo, and Baye will be able to escape.

"Your Royal Highness! Let those slaves go to this rough work of the charge! We're here to pick you up! Prince Bazhuo nodded. Suddenly, a loud bang was heard. I saw that there were fires in front of me. The loud sound disturbed the mounts of the Sulgü Sain, the Rotard, the Ancient City of Batye, and the Prince of Bath. The ancient city of Gusain, Roddy, and Baye finally stabilized their mounts. And Prince Bazhuo was pronounced down by his own mount. At this time, I saw a neat voice suddenly sounding around.

"If you don't keep your word, you have already been punished by God, and you won't surrender immediately!" Gunthine shouted:

"I'm waiting to surrender! His Royal Highness Prince Bazhuo! His Royal Highness Prince Bazhuo! When everyone found His Royal Highness the Prince, they saw that Prince Bazhuo's eyes were blank, and he kept muttering:

"Damned! It's damned! ”

(Gunpowder is one of the four great inventions of China.) In the Spring and Autumn Period, China has been used for folk livelihood applications, Fan Zi Jiran said, "Saltpeter out of Longdao." The first book that we have seen now to record the formula of gunpowder was written in the eighth and ninth centuries. In the book, it is said that "sulfur and realgar saltpeter are combined with honey", and the phenomenon of "flame rising, burning hands and burning houses" will occur. The "dense" here should be the "honey" of honey. Honey can be turned into charcoal when heated. Sulfur and saltpeter are mixed with charcoal, and this is the recipe for gunpowder. The invention of gunpowder is the result of people's long-term alchemy and pharmaceutical practice, and has a history of more than 1,000 years. In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, gunpowder had been used in the military. In the first year of Tianyou of Tang Zhaozong (904), Yang Xingmi's army besieged Yuzhang, and the general Zheng (with the department of the department to launch a flying fire, burn the dragon sand gate, lead the strong men to break through the fire and enter the city first, and scorched the body). The Spitfire mentioned here is (artillery), (rockets) and so on. (Artillery) is to make a ring of gunpowder, ignite the hanging wire and throw it with a stone thrower; Rockets tie a ball of gunpowder to an arrowhead, ignite the fuse, and shoot it with a bow. By the Song Dynasty, wars continued one after another, which accelerated the development of gunpowder weapons. The government of the Northern Song Dynasty established a gunpowder workshop, and successively manufactured gunpowder arrows, artillery and other weapons with incendiary performance, as well as explosive weapons such as thunderbolts and thunderbolts. In 1259, the Southern Song Dynasty built a giant bamboo with gunpowder inside. In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a copper casting fire system, called (copper general). These are weapons that are driven by the explosion of gunpowder, and they have shown unprecedented power in warfare. Landmines are an inexpensive defensive weapon. Explosive firearms buried under the surface or laid on the ground, the earliest landmines originated in China. In 1130, when the Jin army attacked Shaanzhou, the Song army used "gunpowder cannons" (i.e., iron-shelled mines) buried in the ground to inflict heavy casualties on the Jin army and win, and in the early years of the Ming Dynasty (14th century), real mines using mechanical ignition devices appeared in China. According to the 1413 Jiao Yu's "Fire Dragon Sutra" a collection: "The bombing is made of pig iron, on an empty stomach, with a pestle of medicine, into a small bamboo tube, through the fire line inside, and through the fire trough with a long line outside, choose the only way to go, and bury dozens of holes in the pit, the medicine trough is connected to the steel wheel, the soil covers, so that the thief does not know, step on the engine, shake up, the iron is like flying, and the flames are soaring to the sky." It can be seen that "explosives" are not only the earliest pressurized mines, but also similar to today's "chain mines", from which the term "mines" is derived. In 1580, when Qi Jiguang, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty of China, was stationed in Jizhou, he made a kind of "steel wheel fire" mine, when the enemy stepped on the motive, the steel wheel rotated and the flint sharply rubbed to ignite, detonating the mine. The drum firing device improves the accuracy and reliability of the timing of mine firing. In the literature of the Ming Dynasty, there have been a variety of mines recorded in detail, which shows that China's mines have developed to a certain level at that time, here, the editor will advance this period of history, the use of gunpowder for military purposes in the last years of the Tang Dynasty and the history of the use of mines in the Southern Song Dynasty to fight against the Jin State, someone previously commented in the first few chapters that when Li Yuan was guarding Longzhou, gunpowder had not yet been invented at that time! In addition, please remember that a novel is a novel, and don't worry too much about it. ）
