Chapter Ninety-Three: The Whole People Rejoice and Announce the Success

"The red glow flies in the west mountain at sunset, and the warriors triumphantly return to the camp and return the camp"

When the celebration song was sung on the stage, the two stagecoaches in the army galloped towards the performance venue, and the two messengers who did not know the situation squeezed for a long time under the leadership of the inner attendant before they could see Li Er, just at this time the sailors on the stage were singing 'The soldiers return to the camp in triumph', and the two soldiers knelt in front of Li Er.

"Report, Yumen Pass is a great victory."

"Report, Hebei Province is a great victory."

The two soldiers shouted in a scramble, and at the same time held the primordial victory above their heads.

"Hahaha, okay." Li Er laughed and personally grabbed the music in the hands of the two soldiers and immediately read it out.

"Zuo Weiwei led by Cheng Yanjin and Qianniuwei led by Li Jing converged at Yumen Pass and set up an ambush for the whole army. On the 22nd, the Turkic Ashina Tusu army arrived, the two armies went out together, fought for three days and nights, killed 30,000 enemy troops, captured countless cattle, sheep and horses, intercepted more than 10,000 Han people captured by Tusu, Tu Su was seriously injured, and only led a few thousand horsemen to break through and escape from the pass. ”

"Okay."

After Li Er read the first good news, all the ministers shouted together, the Turkic soldiers of the whole country 100,000 iron cavalry attacked, only a few thousand remnants of the soldiers fled back, even if the Tang Dynasty did not do anything to them in the future, they may have more than ten years to add wounds.

"On the twentieth day of the first month of Zhenguan, Luoyang Wei and Right Weiwei attacked left and right, besieged more than 30,000 people of Dou Valve in Zhangnan City, Beizhou, blew up the city wall with gunpowder, fought in the streets for three days, beheaded more than 10,000 rebels, captured more than 10,000, and the rest were scattered, and the whole Dou clan was set on fire by General Hou in the mansion."

"Okay."

The ministers shouted again, during the decisive battle between Chang'an and the Turks, how dangerous it was for a reactionary armed force of more than 30,000 people to appear behind the right guard guarding the northern gate, and only these ministers above the court knew about it. This thousand-mile war was not easy for Hou Junji to fight, and the casualties of his men must have been very strict. Not burning the entire clan of the Sinus Valve didn't seem to be enough to relieve the anger in his chest.

"Proposed to order Li Ji to lead 3,000 Niu Wei to change the Yumen Pass. Li Jingcheng returned to the army for repair. He ordered Li Daozong to clear the Hebei Prefectures, Hou Junji escorted the captives back to Luoyang, and I set up a celebration banquet in Chang'an waiting for them. ”

Once a person is in a happy state, everything is beautiful, such as Xi Liang who is now on stage, in Li Er's opinion, she is the most beautiful, his appreciation of Xi Liang has long been beyond singing and dancing, as long as Xi Liang enters the performance state, his mind will immediately enter a psychedelic realm. Bardoamine in the body is released indefinitely.

"Hey! Happy gongs and drums beat out the joy of the year, beautiful dances send daily jubilation, the sunshine paints today's day, and the flowers of life are our smiles"

No matter what Xi Liang sang, Li Er felt that it was so distracted, and after three cheerful songs in a row, he didn't notice what the eldest grandson's face had turned black, and now his ears couldn't hear any other sound.

Behind the stage, Li Ke and Wang Erniu hung boxy boxes made of paper to the roof of the stage, this thing was called 'fireworks' made by Yang Lin himself, although it just rushed a fire into the sky when it was in Wangjia Village. But it is already a wonder recognized by everyone, and Yanglin has added a lot of saltpeter lumps to it, and once it is washed into the sky by gunpowder, the burning saltpeter lumps will burst open. There is the effect of the cupola played by children in later generations, which is also the highest-end fireworks technology that Yanglin can master, and the long lead is directly hung from the ceiling to the stage. Only waited for Li Er's final finale to sing 'King Qin's Breaking Array Music', and then this ignition ceremony was completed by Li Er himself.

Good songs keep coming, good dancing doesn't stop. The performance lasted from the afternoon until it was dark, and Li Tai finally touched Li Er's position from the backstage. Inform him that he is going to play.

When Li Er appeared on the stage in front of everyone, the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis sounded from the audience, and with the ministers taking the lead, the civilians all knelt on the ground.

"Long live Li Shimin, the son of the Tang Dynasty, long live, long live, long live"

Li Er, who continued to shout and scream, burst into tears, fortunately, King Qin broke the formation Leyang Lin had already arranged a chorus of all the art troupe members, don't worry about Li Er, who was so excited that he choked up, couldn't sing, the two-meter-high stage was not an obstacle at all for a cadre of generals in the Tang Dynasty, when Wei Chi Gong Xue Wanche and other diehard Li Er loyalists jumped on the stage and danced and roared with Li Er, the people gradually got up, and a Qin King broke the formation in less than five minutes, Leyang Lin directly let the band continue to play the climax three times. 、

"Father, please hold a fire lighting ceremony, pay attention to our Datang Dynasty in the coming year, and the future will be prosperous." Li Chengqian handed Yanglin's lighter to Li Er, signaled him to press it, and flames came out, and several torches with gunpowder in it were hung high from the ceiling and dragged by Li Chengqian in his hands.

Li Er pressed the lighter, and the flames rushed out and lit the rope, and he walked off the stage under the leadership of Li Chengqian and Li Tai brothers, and walked far away to the stands.

"Rush Rush Rush"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Several huge fireworks cannons rushed out of the night sky, saltpeter bumps exploded in the sky, and sparks crossed the sky like meteor showers.

"Cheng Qian, this is gunpowder?" Li Er looked at the strange scene in front of him, grabbed Li Chengqian's hand and asked.

"Yes, Xiao Linzi said that black powder is used to play in his hometown, he is not a middle master, if it is a professional in his hometown, he can hit gunpowder to a height of thousands of meters, so that the sky-covering meteor shower is spread throughout Chang'an City, and people from dozens of miles away can see it."

Li Er's head is black, and it turns out that the killing weapon he is proud of is just a toy to play with in other people's hometowns, which also makes him more determined to develop gunpowder.

After the hustle and bustle is hundreds of thousands of hungry people rushing home, the soldiers of the Thousand Niu Wei hold torches to illuminate the road, this Chinese New Year's Eve does not make people feel cold, I believe that all the strange things they have seen today will become their talking points for a long time, which also makes Chang'an people develop the habit of watching concerts, for many years to come. As long as there are similar performances in Chang'an City, there will be thousands of empty alleys. The venue is full.

Li Er's car was replaced by a human-powered tricycle, and the designated driver was Yang Lin. Let a child pull the two of them and add a fat girl a few hundred pounds of weight, but also because he thought of it, fortunately, Yanglin's qigong has made some progress, and his strength is comparable to that of the teenage boys of later generations, Li did not show the two pieces on the second hand to others, because he did not finish reading, Zuo Weiwei and Qianniuwei are in good condition, more than 10,000 killed and 6,000 seriously injured. Almost all the soldiers, including the generals, have different frostbite, the number of hands and toes necrosis should be greater than the number of seriously injured, Luoyang Wei is nearly seventy percent dead and wounded, and the remaining two or three thousand men and horses are a little reluctant to escort more than 10,000 prisoners back to Chang'an, although this victory is huge, but the price paid is also very heavy, and the battleable soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have been reduced by nearly half at once.

"Father, after two great battles, more than 30,000 soldiers were killed and wounded. Behind them are more than 30,000 families, these people can be resettled in ten factories, but have you ever thought that the war will continue to be fought like this. There will be fewer and fewer sons of our Tang Dynasty, and in the end, I am afraid that it will really become a daughter country. Yang Lin was actually very tired after a busy day, and he saw deep sorrow under Li Er's joyful expression. Therefore, he took the initiative to propose a plan to resettle the families of the fallen soldiers, and the report of the war would soon be known to the hostile forces of the neighboring countries. Although they were afraid of the power of gunpowder, they wanted to bite hard when Datang was weak. This is true in Tibet, and the same is true in Goryeo, and I am afraid that there will be no peace in the north and west in the coming year.

"Of course I don't want to die, every time I see the faces of those old brothers in my dreams, I can't sleep, but I want to be peaceful, but those people don't want to be peaceful, they always want to rob us, and ignite the flames of war on the territory of my Tang Dynasty again and again, which is extremely hateful." Li Er pinched the two brocade cloth pieces and gurgled, in history, he spent his whole life solving border problems, and finally made the Tang Dynasty the first powerful empire in Chinese history not to build the Great Wall, Yanglin naturally also knew that the Great Wall did not fall down in fact did not play much practical significance, he is currently using some means to build the Great Wall in people's hearts, as long as the nation is united and rich, foreign enemies have never been a thing for the Chinese nation.

"The strength of the left and right Weiwei has been strictly insufficient, less than half of the full force, and the rest are also many disabled, and it is not suitable to be overused, the two major battles of Weishui and Yumen Pass, our army captured countless Turkic war horses, and the son of the emperor Jianyì directly revoked the left and right Weiwei, formed a new army, and kept the enemy outside the country." Yang Lin also felt numb in his scalp when he read the battle report at first, almost all of Datang's foreign wars were won in exchange for huge casualties, except for the Battle of Weishui, even the Battle of Yumen Pass, the unsuspecting Turkic defeated soldiers who attacked the unsuspecting Turkic defeated soldiers with a position ambush only expanded the results to one to two, so if they die, the men of the Tang Dynasty are not enough to consume several surrounding countries.

"Keeping the enemy out of the country? How do you say that? Li Er's eyes showed a hint of essence, and he asked eagerly.

"The horseshoe and saddle that will be used as a supervisor have now begun to be used on the war horse, with these two things, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will not only sit more stable than the Turks on horseback, but also have stronger endurance during assault operations, and the use rate of the war horse will last much longer than the Turks, not to mention that it will surpass the Turks a lot in riding warfare, at least there is absolutely no problem in dealing with them, and the other product of the craftsman is the recurve divine arm bow, which can increase the range of the bow and arrow to three hundred steps, and the bow opener does not need to spend too much effort, Equip these equipment with cavalry that has always been extremely mobile, not much, as long as 10,000 people, the Turkic, Tibetan and Goryeo armies will no longer be able to get close to our Tang Dynasty, and this is not counting the combat power after gunpowder and another kind of light armor equipment that Erchen is about to launch."

Yang Lin said a lot, anyway, the more Li Er listened, the more confident he became, although he didn't dare to hope for the result that the war he outlined should be a victory with zero casualties, but I also wanted to see what kind of scene it was like after such an army was built, as for the construction of the women who were conscripted into the army mentioned by Yang Lin later, he was directly ignored by Li Er, and the female soldiers were limited to the art troupe It was already the ultimate he could do, if even the battle to kill the enemy also used women, then the social status of Datang men would decline sharply, even if Li Er agreed, The courtiers who currently control the political situation in the Tang Dynasty will not agree.
