Although the excellent weapons were only sold on a small scale, they were quite well received, well, Li Mi's gift to Jieli Khan included fifty of these thirty-refining weapons. Although it is only 30 refining, as the quality of the steel smelted is getting better and better, today's 30 refining is not inferior to the early 100 refining steel knives.

For the request of the Eastern Turks, this prince was not negotiable, and directly refused the request of the Turkic envoy, Jieli Khan was extremely angry, and even sent an envoy again, bringing gifts, and a scimitar, which means that if he does not follow his will, then it will definitely bring a terrible war.

"War?" I admired the scimitar, well, typical Central Asian style, probably from Persia, but nomads like to use it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, your attitude will plunge your people into the vortex of war." The Turkic envoy Ashina Adali who came stood in the main hall with a cold face, proud and conceited, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this thing was not beaten.

"Your Khan, do you want to follow in the footsteps of Tu Gu Hun?" Han Shige raised his thick eyebrows in displeasure and shouted coldly.

Ashina Adali snorted disdainfully with his nose, and then said loudly with a high-minded appearance: "Our great Turk is definitely not comparable to a small tribe like Tuyuhun,"

For this person's arrogance, this son can only be speechless, and the generals are so angry that they all puff out their eyes, and they can't wait to throw off their arms and fight with this Turkic barbarian who doesn't know how to lift, so that he knows what it means to look down on people with dog eyes.

Ben Gongzi directly threw the gorgeous and exquisite Persian scimitar on the desk, stood up, and looked at the Turkic envoy. "Go back and tell your Khan, if you want to fight, then fight, and I will wait for you to come.

Hearing this, the ministers of civil and military affairs danced one by one, and only the Turkic envoy stayed for a long time before he came back to his senses. "Your Majesty, do you really want to go to war with my Great Turkic Khanate?"

"Since you Khan want to fight, then I will agree to his request. Tell Jieli that if he doesn't come, I will send soldiers and horses to the grassland to find him. Ben Gongzi rolled his eyelids, threw down such a sentence, and left the court directly, leaving behind the Eastern Turkic fool who was still in a daze in the hall.

"Arrogant...... "A certain Sven minister despised the Turkic barbarian.

"Silly ......" a rough military minister so despised.

In the end, the Turkic envoy left angrily, leaving you waiting, I want to make you look good, and so on.

"Your Majesty, will this have an impact on the long-term development of the court, after all, the Central Plains is still in turmoil, and my main focus in China is to restore the territory of the former dynasty." Du Ruhui looked at Ben Gongzi, who had changed out of his court clothes and was wearing a plain clothes, with some embarrassment.

"Du Shangshu's words are wrong, and now, the Eastern Turk Khan has sent envoys to threaten me. How can I succumb to China? Besides, now, most of the world is in my hands, and my hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops are already preparing to enter the customs, even if Jieli Khan doesn't come to us for trouble, we will go to him for trouble. Han Shige said with a disdainful expression.

Fang Xuanling stroked his long beard under his chin and frowned. “… General Han, my Chinese elite is now mostly distributed in various places, at present, the most important thing is to join forces with Du Fuwei who is entrenched in Jianghuai, and try to level Li Zitong in the south of the Yangtze River and Xiao Mo in Jingxiang. If Jieli Khan leads a large army to the south this time, it will definitely come from the nest, and it will be a little careless......"

I nodded and smiled. "I know the worries of Qing, but now the rebellion in Shanxi is the best time for me to set foot in the Central Plains, and I must go. As for the Turks, I really didn't take it to heart. As long as the line of Yan'an, Honghua, and Pingliang counties is held, no matter how many Turks come, they will not be able to take a step beyond Lei Chi. ”

"The important thing is that Jieli Khan doesn't really want to do something to my Huaxia." I stroked my brows, and my eyes fell on Wei Yunqi's body, Wei Yunqi stood up and glanced at the many important ministers around him.

"Jieli Khan is the male lord of the Turks, and his thinking is indeed different from that of Chuluo Khan, who prefers to use his scimitar to obtain sufficient benefits compared to the Chuluo Khan, who likes to obtain benefits from his spokesman."

"Just last month, the Khitan people were dissatisfied with the offerings levied by the Khan, and the Khan had decided to conquer the Khitan in the east. Since the establishment of our Chinese Renaissance Army, there has only been one conflict with the Turks in the area of Yan'an County, but I believe that the Turks who have sent envoys to the DPRK many times are very aware of the combat strength of our Chinese Renaissance Army, and it is precisely because they know very well that they will go to Wang Shichong to unite with each other, intending to invade Yan'an County when our Hancheng is attacked and disturbed. ”

"Now, when Jieli Khan first ascended to the throne, he had a great war with the Western Turks, and both sides suffered heavy losses, and it was time to rest and recuperate. What's more, if Jieli invades our China, if the Turks do not do their best, they will not be able to shake the foundation of our China at all. ”

"Therefore, it is certain that at least within two to three years, even if Jieli Khan wants to invade the south, he will have more than enough heart but not enough strength." Wei Yunqi said this and concluded in a very resolute and affirmative tone

And Ben Gongzi also nodded approvingly. "Yes, Jieli wants to gather the power of the Turks to go south, now is definitely not a good time, not to mention the life and death blood feud with the Western Turks, Xue Yantuo in the north is still there, and the Khitan is dissatisfied, he doesn't straighten out these relationships, he wants to go south, unless he doesn't even want his own nest."

Ma Zhou frowned: "But if Jieli Khan wants to go south, then what?" ”

Wei Yunqi cleared his throat and said calmly: "If you want to march south, you must enter the Guanzhong, and the soldiers will point directly to Chang'an, so that they can decide the battle in the shortest possible time, and the nearest and most convenient way to enter the Guanzhong is to go straight to the Guanzhong from Yan'an County." If you want to seize Yan'an County, there are only two roads, one, from Shuofang County in the north to the south to the city of Fushi, however, we have a heavy garrison in the area of Shuofang County, and the mountains here are high and steep, which is the most unfavorable for cavalry activities, and it is extremely difficult for large-scale cavalry to pass through here.

And the other one, is through the Liang Shidu controlled by the Diaoyin County south through Suide straight to Yanchuan, this place is gentle, is most suitable for a large number of cavalry activities, but, Yanchuan is located in danger, now, Yanchuan City has been repaired several times, its city is strong, no less than Chang'an, the city around the city are all solid with cement masonry arch. The height of the city is more than two feet five.

At present, the garrison in Yanchuan City has reached two divisions, even if the Liang division has sent all the siege equipment to cooperate with the Turks to take Yanchuan City, it will take at least two months of non-stop fierce attack, and it must be guaranteed that our side will not be reinforced. Therefore, if they can't take Yan'an County in a short period of time, they won't be able to pose a fundamental threat to our Guanzhong. ”

"But what if the Turks don't take these two roads and cross the river from Lishi County?" Du Ruhui asked rhetorically with a frown.

"If they want to come from the Yellow River, it depends on whether they can break through the blockade of our sailors. If there is a police on the Yellow River, then the garrison in the southern part of Yan'an County can reach the banks of the Yellow River at any time within a day. Even if the other party crosses the river in Diaoyin County, it doesn't matter. As long as our intelligence systems are not compromised, we will be able to receive information and respond before the other side crosses the river. ”

"As long as Yan'an County holds for three days, the garrisons from other places will be able to reach Yan'an County. It will not be like in the past, if the garrison from Chang'an wants to go to Yan'an, it will take at least half a month, but now, if Chang'an's reinforcements only need five and a half to six days, they can reach Yan'an County, and if they are cavalry, they can arrive in only two days. Wei Yunqi's words made everyone who was still worried or doubting shut up.

If the Eastern Turks really came to invade Guanzhong without regard for their heads, then they would experience countless hardships and sufferings in the area of Yan'an County. As long as Ben Gongzi is unwilling, the Eastern Turks will not want to take a step across the border of Yan'an County.

And if the Turks are dragged in Yan'an County for a long time, whether it is the Western Turks or Xue Yantuo, they will definitely produce new ideas, after all, the law of the steppe is to fight for and devour each other.

If the main forces of the Eastern Turks are trapped here, then after a long time, the rear will inevitably be unstable.

The reason why I dare to say this is because in the past few years, my father has always understood the importance of Yan'an County as the northern part of my Guanzhong. In the area of Yan'an County, Yan'an County's Zhifu Shi City, as well as Yanchuan City, have become two outrageously strong military fortresses and giant fortresses, so to speak, as long as it is not because of some huge turmoil in the city, if you want to take these two fortified cities, let alone the Turks, even if the Central Plains Zhuxiong who are proficient in siege take turns to attack, they may not be able to attack.

What's more, such a strong fortress is not only used for defense. The ballistas and catapults will become a nightmare for the besiegers. In Yanchuan City alone, more than 50,000 grenades have been accumulated. Even the ballistas and trebuchets were destroyed by the enemy who infiltrated the city, and with these grenades alone, it was enough to ⊥ nearly 100,000 enemies to fall under the city of Yanchuan without an inch.

In addition, the mine, after this kind of trampling, will activate the means of making the flint lighter inside the mine ignite the mine, for me, it is too small, only need a silk, a small spring, an iron shell and gunpowder, to be able to make an excellent infantry mine.

Although the flintlock musket has not yet entered the battlefield, it is enough to change the course of war when it is more powerful, more expensive, and simpler to make mines and grenades on the stage of war.

To tell the truth, before the development of gunpowder weapons, the number of soldiers and the number of cavalry determined the outcome of the war, but when gunpowder appeared, the balance of victory had completely tilted in our side.
