Chapter 13: The Kingdom of Tibet, Favored by God

"Zhang Xiang's words are colorful, and Zi said: There must be my teacher in the threesome, and today Song is also willing to be a child who is humble and learns......" "He is too!"

The three old men sang and harmonized, it was like forgetting to take medicine and going out, and Li Mao at this time, in the face of their persecution of relying on the old and selling the old, undoubtedly became Zhu Bajie who was not a person inside and outside the mirror, but fortunately, Li Mao had a beautiful and smart mother on the side to help him play a round.

"Ah, three lords, what are you talking about? Mao'er, a milk doll that he can't even leave his mother, and don't talk about this gossip about state affairs, it can't be taken seriously, how dare he call your gentlemen! If the hat offends you, the concubine will accompany you on his behalf, and the child will rely on the three of them in the future......"

As soon as Concubine Wu Hui opened her mouth like this, the three old men naturally woke up like a big dream, because this woman seemed insignificant, but considering her powerful pillow wind, the three old men couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

And Zhang said that the old man was actually forced into a corner by Li Mao's sharp words just now, which made him feel a little unhappy, and it really didn't mean to fight against Li Mao, it was just annoyed that he was a doll who didn't understand the dignity of the elderly.

At this moment, the three of them came to their senses, and naturally they didn't dare to be tough with such a blessed eighteenth prince, so the three of them hurriedly bent down and saluted Concubine Wu Hui and explained.

"The ministers don't dare, Concubine Hui, you misinterpret the meaning of the old ministers, even if the old ministers and others have the courage to be embarrassed by His Royal Highness King Shou, what the ministers said is really heartfelt, His Royal Highness King Shou today, if you really offer a policy to determine the country, why not let me wait for the three old people to thank him for the tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty?"

Seeing that the three old men were anxious, Li Longji, the head of the family, naturally would not stand by coldly, this tea party was going to accidentally turn into a quarrel, so who could bear it.

"Ai Concubine, the three ministers, this kid hasn't made anything clear yet, don't be busy being polite and humble to each other first, and it's not too late to talk about the countermeasures after he finishes talking about the countermeasures? What are you doing stupidly? The hour saw that in the afternoon, the ink was dragging again......"

After Li Longji said this, he somehow suddenly called Gao Lishi and other chamberlains to go out and call people, although Li Mao didn't know who else he was going to summon at this time, but he actually guessed nine times out of ten in his heart, because at such a key point, Li Longji probably didn't have anything else important except to find some people who were familiar with military affairs to verify his strategy.

Sure enough, before Li Mao could speak, outside the main hall, he strode in the heart of Chen Xuanli, Li Longji's most relied on friend.

This person is the general of Zhengerpin Longwu, who commands all the forbidden troops in the Daming Palace, and it can be said that Li Longji can hand over his net worth and life to his character, and Chen Xuanli has fought on the battlefield for more than ten years in his early years, and he must know some things on the battlefield well.

At this moment, when he arrived, Li Mao not only did not feel the slightest worry, but was a little excited in his heart, because the current cement matter, if there is this big man from the side, it is better than saying it thousands of times.

"A certain general, see the saint, Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Prince...... I wonder what is the importance of your sudden summoning, saint? Chen Xuanli said as his eyes naturally glanced at the pile of adobe bricks on the floor.

"I took advantage of the gap before the New Year's Festival was over today, so I called a few Aiqing to chat, thinking that Xuanli you also happened to be on duty in the palace, so I called to eat and drink tea and gossip together, nothing important, by the way, just now did Lux have explained to you some of the playthings made by Mao'er?"

"Gao Nei and the last general talked about it roughly, the last general is quite curious about this cement thing, if this treasure can really build a wall and build a city in a few days, then it is like a tiger for the army on the battlefield? The last general is anxious to see the true face of this treasure at this moment, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Shou is convenient for him? ”

"Haha...... Xuanli, I know that you are interested in this thing, and that thing is placed on the ground? You can take it for yourself! When Chen Xuanli heard Li Longji say this, he immediately turned around and walked towards the pile of small adobe bricks, but when he saw that the things were black and no different from children's toys, he looked at Li Mao in disbelief.

After Li Mao guessed the doubts in Chen Xuanli's heart, he immediately stepped forward to explain and helped pick it up and demonstrate it again. "General Chen, you see, this cement is actually the bonding thing between bricks, and its effect is better than glutinous rice slurry and clay...... In addition, it is more magical that it only takes seven or eight days to solidify the bricks in clear weather, even in the desert Gobi and mud depressions, it can also pave the road instantly......"

"This ...... How could this be ......" As Chen Xuanli spoke, he suddenly pulled out the short knife at his waist, but his reckless move was not even the slightest move of the other Yulin troops in the main hall who was frightened and retreated, and even Li Longji did not blink his brows.

"Stinky boy, you are very vigilant, but is your Uncle Chen an outsider? Don't let me go back yet! "Father...... The child is timid, not on purpose, General Chen, he ......"

"The saint atoned for his sins, and the last general was in a hurry to verify the strength of the cement with a sword, which frightened His Royal Highness King Shou...... Your Highness, you don't need to panic, the last general just wants to ...... The last general of the first order of the ......"

Chen Xuanli picked up the short knife and gestured on the bricks in his hand as he spoke, Li Mao saw this, so he had to wave his hand awkwardly and ask him to continue, and Chen Xuanli was surprised again and saluted Li Longji after priing the gaps between several adobe bricks in a row and finding that they could not be separated at all.

"Sage, the servant of the Shicai Gao said that this small adobe brick was glued together for only half an hour, but now it is already very difficult for the last general to pry it with the sharp blade in his hand, and from this point of view, the last general feels that this thing should be immediately included in the control of the Ministry of Industry, and not a trace of ...... leaked to the outside."

"Is it really that important? Isn't this a little more convenient for building a city? Could this be compared to ordnance and other things? Regarding Li Longji's question, Chen Xuanli was silent for a long time, but he couldn't answer the reason for a while.

"Sage, although the last general can't tell the key at this moment, but presumably His Royal Highness King Shou must know the specific use of this thing, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered so much to make it, and the last general just heard that His Royal Highness has a good plan to break the Tibetan thief...... The last general ......"

"Haha...... Xuanli, you, you, I didn't expect that you, a general who has always only understood martial arts, would now learn such thoughts, aren't you afraid to speak out and steal the limelight from that kid? In that case, let the hat speak, you can also come and sit down and drink some good tea with me, by the way, this pastry is made by the hat, and you and the three Aiqing will bring some back! ”

"Okay, the last general has long coveted the pastries made by His Royal Highness, but the price of His Highness's natural residence is too expensive, and the last general will have a little monthly money......" Chen Xuanli said this jokingly, but he didn't expect the three old men to agree with him, and when Li Mao saw Li Longji's eyes floating towards him, he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.

"Father, don't stare at the child like this anymore, the price is really unknown to the child, and you have also tasted the cream cake, it is too cumbersome to make, not to mention the fresh fruits that go with it, that is, those few pounds of cream Do you know how much money and manpower it costs?"

"Don't you shut up, a dignified son, even opening his mouth and closing his mouth is full of copper, don't you think I'm ashamed enough? If it weren't for your filial piety, I would have asked someone to seal your natural home, now let's get down to business, and all the pastries for a few adults will be ......from your house."

"Ah...... Father, don't you still have it? "Hat......" After Concubine Wu Hui suddenly shouted, Li Mao had to immediately bow her head and agree, and after a few bigwigs drank tea and tasted milk cakes, he slowly talked about his strategy to break the enemy with extreme unhappiness.

"Father, General Chen...... In the past, our Tang army fought against Tubo, and the army of 100,000 was drawn at every turn, while the country of Tubo was barren and barren, and the grain and grass in front of the army could not be obtained on the spot, and the supply in the rear could not be obtained on the spot, which was also the real reason why my Datang was reluctant to use force several times, because the gains outweighed the ......losses."

"Yes, you kid finally got to the point, I am also sad every time I think about this, when the Tibetan thieves occupy all the land, as long as his army moves, there will be tens of millions of grain and grass on the border of my Tang Kingdom to plunder, it is really hateful, but annoying......"

Li Mao looked at Li Longji's heartbroken appearance, and instantly couldn't help but want to laugh, but when he thought about it carefully, he immediately understood Li Sanlang's sore spot very well, because at this time, Datang and Tubo are both the top powers in the world, and from the perspective of this rare situation, even in the later generations, it cannot be solved by conventional means, whether it is a large-scale battle, or a small group of attacks, or even the later peace and other measures.

All of them are drinking to quench their thirst, that is, using peace and relatives to achieve peace in a short period of time, but as time goes by, in the end, it is nothing more than to see who has chaos first, and then the other party takes the opportunity to attack, and it is regrettable that Li Mao has long predicted the outcome of the matter in advance, because God's favor is still on the side of Tubo in the end.
