Chapter 500: The Man Came
The smoke from the explosion of the gunpowder pack rose into the sky, shaking the ground and sending the smoke out in all directions. Soon, a heat wave spread out like a wave of water, two hundred steps away, the wind blowing on Wang Dangren and Yuan Ben's faces was still strong, and the explosion blasted out a crater on the ground in an instant, and the rubble bullets flew everywhere.
Li Xian was farther away, and when he saw the huge fireball rising up, he couldn't help but shout in admiration.
"Enough!"
He smiled and turned his head to Qin Qiong and said, "How is it?" ”
Qin Qiong was also stunned, how could he have ever seen such a powerful weapon? In his opinion, even the lightning that Thor slashed down was not as powerful as this thing. If this is thrown in the crowd, I am afraid that it will immediately explode a stump and severed arm. If you throw it on the city wall, the gate tower will collapse into a pile of rubble in an instant! With a few more of these things, it's not hard to break through the gates!
"This thing...... Belonging to the world? ”
Qin Qiong's face was a little dull and said.
Li Xian smiled and said a little proudly: "If you think that it belongs to the heavens, it is okay, but Lone has led it down from the sky, you can think that it is the wrath of thunder, but it is even more palpitating than the wrath of thunder." ”
Xiong Kuohai took a deep breath, and then sighed with a pale face: "In front of such a thing, even if a person's martial arts are strong, what's the point?" Seeing the power of this thing, his subordinates felt that there was no need to negotiate with Wang Dangren, and directly blew up the city gate of Liyang, and the army rushed in. ”
"You're thinking too simply."
Li Xian smiled and said: "This thing is secretly supervised by the people of the second department of the Military Inspectorate, because the manpower of the second department is also limited, and they are not very good at making drugs, so Lone deliberately set up a weapon battalion, but unfortunately, Lone can only tell the people of the instrument camp, but the ratio of various materials is not known, and the people of the instrument camp have been groping for a long time to come up with a few experiments, this is one of them." ”
"Experiments, how many?"
Xiong Kuohai grasped the key point and said with some regret: "So...... This thing is currently just scaring and scaring Wang Dangren? ”
"That's right."
Li Xian sighed and said, "If Lone had pulled a carriage with the army, Lone would have sent someone to throw more than a dozen of them when he first arrived yesterday." Moreover, this thing must be used in conjunction with a stone-throwing cart to fully exert its power, without a stone-throwing vehicle, who can throw such a heavy thing onto the city wall? Even if you are close to the city gate, how many people will it cost? ”
"But ......"
Li Xian looked at Cheng Zhijie's direction and said: "It's enough to use this one, if Yuan Benyi can hold on without wetting his pants, it means that he can still stay calm, since he remains calm, how dare he refuse again?" ”
In the distance, Yuan Benyi swallowed hard and spit, subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his aching eyebrows, he glanced back at Wang Dangren, but found that General Wang was already sluggish like a stone statue, staring at the explosion in the distance, his body and expression were stiff.
"The ......"
Yuan Benyi took a deep breath to calm his mood a little, and said to Cheng Zhijie with a trembling voice: "You know, I am just the deputy general of the Liyang garrison, and General Wang Dangren is still in charge of such a big matter, or ...... I'll go back to the city now and discuss it with General Wang Dangren again? ”
Cheng Zhijie sneered at the shock in his heart, he turned around and pointed to a carriage in front of Yan Yunjun's military formation and said, "Today, King Yan has prepared a cart of this thing, if you think we can't make the Yellow River burst the embankment, then I don't mind trying to break the Liyang City Gate first." ”
"General Cheng later, later...... I'll go back to the city. ”
Yuan Ben wiped the sweat from his forehead and immediately turned his horse and walked back.
After entering the city, Wang Dangren's face was still ugly as a blank sheet of paper.
"What's that?"
He looked at Motomoto and asked.
"That's ......"
Yuan Ben couldn't help but shudder as soon as he remembered the huge sound and the power that could blow people into pulp, and his throat was dry: "If this is not the divine power that came down from the heavens, the last general really can't think of anything else." ”
"Are you saying that Li Xian, the king of Yan, has the protection of the gods?"
"Even the gods are afraid of the power of that thing, right?"
"What should I do?"
Wang Dangren asked.
Yuan Benyi suddenly felt a wave of anger in his heart, and this anger was so strong that he could hardly help but slap Wang Dangren in the mouth. Obviously, you are the main general of Liyang, what should you do if you ask me now? ”
"What else can I do?"
He asked rhetorically.
Wang Dangren let out a long sigh and said, "You let people tell the defenders and people of the whole city that if anyone dares to publicize this matter, they will be killed immediately." After all, admitting defeat before fighting a war, it is difficult for King Wei to explain. Grain...... You personally supervised the grain out of the warehouse and sent it out of the city. ”
……
……
Wang Dangren looked at the rice paper on the table and cried and laughed, and said in his heart Since you have already won, why do you want to humiliate me again? Yan Yunjun, who got grain and grass, really kept his word, and only stayed outside Liyang City for three days before taking grain and grass and leaving, as for where Yan Yunjun was going, Wang Dangren didn't even dare to send scouts out to monitor. After leaving, he was also at ease, and after witnessing the power of the grinding plate-sized thing, he knew that Liyang City would never be able to hold it. But who knows, after Li Xian's army was launched, he sent someone to send him a painting written by Li Xian himself.
The font is extremely beautiful, Wang Dangren thinks that this is the most beautiful calligraphy he has ever seen in his life, and Fang Yanzao, who is famous for his calligraphy in Wagang Village, is afraid that he will not be able to write more beautiful words than this. But the words on the rice paper made him uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
Those who know the times are Junjie
Seven words, blushing Wang Dangren's face.
"Take it out and burn it!"
He roared angrily, and the soldiers outside the door hurriedly ran in and took out the lettering.
Li Xian, you are so ruthless!
He sat down in his chair in a daze, as if all his strength had been drained at once. The cold sweat on his body has soaked his clothes, and it is extremely uncomfortable to stick to his body. But at this time, where did he still care about this? He was full of how to explain to Li Mi, the king of Wei, and gave Li Xian 100,000 stones of grain and grass, Li Xian gave him a piece of words, it seems that the exchange of gifts is more harmonious, if the king of Wei does not feel that he and Li Xian collude, then his head must be arched by a pig.
"General, the fewer people who know about this lettering, the better."
Yuan Benyi, who was sitting on the side, reminded him, and he was also scared out of a cold sweat at this time, in the eyes of him and Wang Dangren, the words were as terrible as the thing that could explode.
"Wang Ze!"
Wang Dangren stood up and shouted, and his own military captain Wang Ze immediately walked in.
"How many people know about it?"
"Not many, no more than five, all of them are your own soldiers."
"You... Know what to do? ”
Wang Dangren asked in a cold tone.
Wang Ze was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "My subordinates know." ”
"Brother Linze"
Wang Dangren stood up after waiting for Wang Ze to go out, and solemnly said to Yuan Benyi: "Please Brother Linze save me, this time, it is really difficult for King Wei to explain." You and I guard Liyang together, and I hope that Brother Linze will not hide his secrets. ”
Yuan Benyi hurriedly got up and saluted: "What did the general say, let's guard Liyang together, if something happens to you, general, can I escape?" ”
He pondered for a while and said, "It's best if this thing can be suppressed, if it can't be suppressed...... The king of Wei trusted nothing more than Fang Yanzao and Wang Bodang, and the general could send his cronies to send generous gifts. This is only one of them, if you want to be safe, the general needs to make other plans. ”
"What else can I do?"
"Tang King Li Yuan is now strong in soldiers and horses, has occupied Chang'an and supports the king as the emperor, which can be regarded as the orthodoxy of the Great Sui, and the people of the family go to other places to assist, I think the Tang King will be called ......the emperor sooner or later."
"This ......"
Wang Dangren was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "God knows this matter!" ”
Yuan Benyi hurriedly said: "You know and I know, and I won't enter the ears of a third person!" ”
The 30,000 troops of the Yanyun army were pulled out, although Wang Dangren did not dare to send scouts to follow him for fear of provoking Li Xian back, but the army still went around in a circle before continuing to march in the northwest direction, marching day and night, marching for nearly a month leaving the Xia army and the Wagang army behind, and finally arrived at the destination of this trip.
Outside the city of Taiyuan
Li Jiancheng, the son of the Tang Dynasty, personally took Li Shimin, Liu Hongji, the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Shunde, Liu Wenjing, Li Daozong, Qu Tutong and others out of the camp for ten miles, he stood on the official road and looked into the distance, and did not rest in the carriage, his face was a little happy and a little anxious, and from time to time he whispered a few words to Li Shimin and others around him. None of them wore armor, but wore court robes to show their solemnity.
Li Shimin stood respectfully behind Li Jiancheng, looking at Li Jiancheng's solemn face, and wanted to laugh in his heart.
He muttered a name in his heart, and said in his heart that he couldn't imagine that the eldest brother would attach so much importance to this person, and with the respect of the prince of Tang, he would personally go out of the camp ten miles to welcome the arrival of that person. He glanced back at Li Jing, but saw that Li Jing's face didn't know why it had become extremely ugly.
"Pharmacist, what's wrong?"
Li Shimin took a small step back and asked in a low voice.
Li Jing smiled with difficulty: "It's nothing, it's just a little uncomfortable." ”
"If you're uncomfortable, why bother coming along? It's not that you have to be on the march to fight, you go back to rest first, last night you didn't sleep all night in military affairs, and you go back to sleep while there is no war today. ”
"Then the subordinate will be guilty."
Li Jing lowered his head and said: "It's true that I can't hold on and I'm dizzy." ”
"Let's go"
Li Shimin waved his hand and glanced at Li Jing a little apologetically. For this subordinate he trusted the most, Li Shimin was indeed a little apologetic. If it weren't for Li Jing, the Tang army would not have conquered Chang'an so quickly. But because of this incident, his father Li Yuan was furious, if it wasn't for Li Shimin's hard begging, he was afraid that Li Jing would be beheaded in Chang'an.
In any case, Li Jing's instigation of Yang Yu to dig up Li Yuan's ancestral grave could not be hidden. Although Li Jing repeatedly explained that it was a last resort for the sake of the army's siege of the city, Li Yuan obviously didn't want to tolerate him. In the end, it was Li Shimin who gave away all his military exploits and exchanged Li Jing's life. So much so that Li Jing still has no fame, and his identity is just a staff member in Li Shimin's mansion. And because of Bao Li Jing, Li Shimin was not even crowned!
"Big Brother"
Li Shimin whispered to Li Jiancheng: "If you are tired, go to the carriage and rest for a while, it seems that the person will not be able to come for a while." ”
"Not Done"
Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "This person, I must greet him personally." If he can come, our Li family's great cause will be half completed! ”
"Big brother, is he overestimating this person?"
Li Shimin was puzzled: "Even if this person is a famous general and still occupies the rich land of the three counties, after all, he is just a person from a poor family, and the eldest brother deigns to take him too seriously." ”
"What do you know?"
What surprised Li Shimin was that Li Jiancheng was a little angry because of his words.
"The relationship between this person and our Li family is by no means as simple as you think! Later...... Father may let you know, but I must tell you, Shimin, to him, you have to respect him as much as you respect me, don't ask why, everything is for our Li family! ”
"I understand Big Brother"
Li Shimin bowed his head in response, and became more curious about that person in his heart, faintly, and there was a kind of jealousy in his heart that was not easy to detect.
