Chapter 335: Li Chengqian's thoughts
This trip to the north to support, Li Su also understood that this musket was inevitable to be known by Li Shimin, before Xue Rengui left, Li Su also set up a rhetoric with him, Xue Rengui said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the weapon that His Royal Highness the King of Shu just obtained from Luo Anguo, called a musket, which is actually a miniature version of artillery." ”
Nodding, Li Shimin said, "Show it to me!" He was amazed by the power of this weapon, and just now on the city wall he saw a soldier carrying such a thing and shooting an escaped Turkic soldier a hundred meters away.
When Xue Rengui heard this, he asked a soldier beside him to hand over the gun to Li Shimin.
Taking over the heavy rifle, Li Shimin carefully looked at this weapon made of metal and wood, he didn't expect that the power of this thing was so much stronger than the bow and arrow, but as Xue Rengui said, this weapon was indeed a miniature version of the artillery, Li Shimin thought to himself that it was no wonder that the power of this weapon was so powerful.
"How do I use it?" Li Shimin picked up the gun, and the head of the gun was inadvertently pointed at Xue Rengui, which scared Xue Rengui into a cold sweat, and he immediately stood on Li Shimin's side and said: "Your Majesty, this can't be pointed at other people casually, otherwise it will be easy to kill." ”
"Oh, why is that?" Li Shimin was puzzled.
Helpless, Xue Rengui had to demonstrate the use of the musket in front of Li Shimin, Li Shimin also carefully observed this process, initially mastered the essentials of using a rifle, and personally shot with the rifle, and suddenly, he couldn't put down this rifle even more.
When Li Shimin was having fun, a soldier escorted two people over, and when he saw these two people, Li Shimin immediately lost interest in the rifle, but said angrily: "Jieli Khan, we meet again!" ”
"Hmph, kill if you want to kill, where is there so much nonsense. But I don't want to lose in vain, I want to know what that thing is? Jieli said.
Xue Rengui answered this question for Li Shimin, "This is our new weapon in Yizhou, one is a musket, and the other is a more powerful artillery. After that, Xue Rengui shot at the ground and smashed a stone.
"No wonder, no wonder, hahaha...... I didn't expect to lose in the hands of this kind of thing. Jieli said frantically.
Li Shimin's expression was cold. "Jieli, I treat you well, but you still can't get along with me and the Tang Dynasty, and now I won't give you a chance to turn over, I want to behead you in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces to comfort the heroic souls of the Tang Dynasty soldiers."
"Listen to it!" Jieli knew that he would die, but he didn't bother to compromise and live in the world as before.
Li Shimin can't wait to kill Jieli here now. But he still endured it, he looked at the middle-aged scribe who was trembling with fear on the right side of Jieli and said, "Who are you?" ”
"He is the military advisor who gives advice to Jieli, and the plan to attack Lingzhou is planned by him, besieging Huaiyuan City. It was his idea to persuade him to lose his mind. "The captain who escorted this Xu Junshi has obviously been interrogated.
Li Shimin sneered, "I said why did the Turks become so smart, it turns out that there are shameless people like you who work for Jieli again, like you who eat the food of the Tang Dynasty." Drinking the water of Datang, the Tang people ran to work for the aliens, and it is also a shame for people like you to live. Say it. Li Shimin drew a knife and stabbed Xu Junshi in the chest, not even giving him a chance to beg for mercy.
After killing this Xu Junshi, Li Shimin's anger eased slightly, and then he asked Cheng Huailiang to take Jieli from the hands of the Yizhou soldiers and prepare to escort him to Chang'an.
With the help of the Yizhou army, Li Ji and Cheng Biting Jin also defeated the stubborn thinking force, in the melee, the stubborn thinking force was killed by a stray bullet, and the old Turkic department was also scattered as birds and beasts, this battle, the Turks no longer have a chance to turn over, in the remaining few days, Xue Rengui accompanied Li Shimin's army to aid Xiazhou, where there is Li Jing, a veteran, Xue Yantuo did not occupy a little advantage, and after Li Shimin led the reinforcements to arrive, the two men and horses were sandwiched back and forth, Xue Yantuo was defeated and fled.
"Your Majesty, I thought that at this time, I should take advantage of the victory and pursue and attack the royal court of the Turks and Xue Yantuo." After defeating Xue Yantuo again, Li Jing said that when Zhenguan was four years old, it was Li Jing who pursued thousands of miles and finally captured Jieli.
Tong Guò This time, Li Shimin was determined to no longer tolerate the northern grassland, nodded heavily, and asked Li Jing and Li Ji to each lead a group of people to the royal court of Xue Yantuo and the royal court of the Western Turks respectively.
"Your Majesty, our mission is over, and according to His Highness's instructions, it is time for us to return to Yizhou to rest." After Li Jing and Li Ji left, Xue Rengui told Li Shimin that three months had passed from leaving Yizhou to finally defeating Xue Yantuo, and the soldiers of the Yizhou army were already very tired.
Li Shimin looked at the tired Yizhou soldiers, and said to Xue Rengui: "You can defeat the Turks and Xue Yantuo Shun lì Your Yizhou army is indispensable, since this is the order of the King of Shu, I will not embarrass you, and when I return to Chang'an, I will return to the King of Shu to reward you!" ”
"Thank you!" Xue Rengui said, in fact, it is not much use for them to stay here at this time, because their bullets and ammunition have basically been consumed.
With Li Shimin's approval, Xue Rengui was relieved and asked the soldiers to gather and return to Yizhou.
At this time, the war has basically ended, Li Shimin also plans to return to Chang'an, he received a letter from the Empress of Changsun, when he was trapped in Huaiyuan City, he did not expect Chang'an to have the king of Wei assassinated, which made the mood of joy because of the victory suddenly clouded a layer of haze.
Although this is a huge crisis faced by Datang, but in this battle, Datang basically eliminated the surrounding forces that could threaten him, so as to truly enter a period of peaceful development, and no longer have to worry about the invasion of the north and wait every night.
Soon, the news of the great victory of the Tang Dynasty army spread in Chang'an, and Yizhou, Li Su also published this news, so that the people knew what happened during this time, and Li Su's real intention was to let others see one of the items on this report, that is, with the help of the Yizhou army, he defeated the Turks and Xue Yantuo, and this information was enough to give some people in Chang'an a wake-up call.
It is said that the article published in the Tang Dynasty Business Daily was written by Li Shimin himself, and in this report, Li Shimin praised Li Su, and also described the strength of the Yizhou army, which somewhat deterred some people.
In the East Palace of the Prince of Chang'an, Li Chengqian angrily tore the newspaper to shreds, Li Shimin defeated the Turks and escaped from Huaiyuan City, he was unexpected, he thought that he was sitting firmly on the throne, but he didn't expect Li Su's army to kill Li Shimin from halfway and save Li Shimin, "It's Li Su again, why is he everywhere." Li Chengqian said hatefully.
"It's a pity, Your Highness has missed another good opportunity to ascend to the throne!" Du He said with pity that when Li Shimin was trapped in Huaiyuan City, he fantasized that Li Chengqian could ascend the throne as the emperor, and he was just like his father back then.
Li Chengqian sat down on the chair dejectedly when he heard this, if Li Shimin was really dead, then even the eldest grandson queen would not be able to stop him from ascending the throne, "Let people burn the dragon robe!" If I let my father know that those officials had made all the dragon robes in order to please me, then I would be completely finished. “
Du He said: "Your Highness, rest assured, I have already dealt with this matter, but what does Your Highness plan to do next, should you just stop like this?" ”
"Hmph, how could I possibly stop? Since the day my father imprisoned Ashnaran in the cold palace, there is no father-son relationship between us, since Jieli can't get rid of him, then I can't learn from the trick he used to force the emperor's grandfather to abdicate. Li Chengqian squinted his eyes and said. (To be continued......)
