Chapter 58: The Tang People's Beacon Warning Station

And Li Mao felt angry and funny after seeing Wang Sishen put on this appearance, and what was even more surprising was how close the relationship between Wang Siluo and his second brother would be, and even the private words of the two of them on the horse could be fully revealed.

"What is the intention? Didn't you just say that my little sister told you everything? What else is the person who is the prince and the third brother, you said this, this king wants to ask you Wang Sishen again, your Wang family has tried his best to connect the prince to arrange for the Wang family to be close, and what is your intention! In addition, this king will tell you now that he is not the heir of Wang Zhonghe, but after my loyal minister and good general of the Tang Dynasty, if General Wang Haibin is as selfish as you when he fights with the Tibetan thieves, will he be so indomitable and kill himself? Compared with the Tang Dynasty's 10,000-year-old foundation, anyone will be insignificant, and anyone can die, including this king, do you know? For more than 100 years, Tang and Tu have been killing constantly, and how many innocent people have died, how could you Wang Sishen ever think about this...... I only know that my heart is thinking about your Wang's little sesame mung bean......

Say no more, isn't it possible for a certain family to go with you? Little sister, what she said is right, Li Mao, you are really a thoughtful demon, if anyone fights with you, he will definitely die without a place to be buried, I can't understand it now, you obviously care about the Tang Dynasty, why? Why do you always have to do some ridiculous things cynically, if my Wang family really puts the treasure on you alone in the future, will there be a good result? ”

"Whether it will blossom or bear fruit depends on how you maintain it, as for the cynicism of this king you said, is there any contradiction between it and the people of Limin? Who stipulated that when the country was stable, it was necessary to lie on the desk and deal with official documents without sleep and food? ”

"You...... I can't talk about you, Your Highness, but I just hope that you will take ......care of you in the future for the sake of being the only son of General Wang."

"Brother, Your Highness, what are you talking about? With such a high level of emotion, that horseshoe is really a baby! It must have been your Royal Highness King Shou who came up with it! ”

"Didn't talk about anything? Wang Shen General agreed to go to Jiannan with us, the horseshoe is not a big treasure, you battle-hardened soldiers are my rare treasures in the Tang Dynasty...... Haha......"

"That's great! Just now I heard that Your Highness said that you have to take a detour to the Turkic country, where you are very familiar with the lowly position, and several generals who guard the pass are all friends, and when you load the horse Tietie, you will be led by the lowly position to His Highness! ”

"Okay, good, but today's main purpose is for autumn outings and barbecues...... Let's continue to enjoy the song and dance, let's talk about it! ”

After Li Mao finished speaking, he picked up a large handful of barbecue like a madman and rushed to the thousand-person department led by Wang Zhongsi to distribute it, and then invited them to dismount and drink together, and danced the Qin King Breaking Formation Dance invented by the great grandfather.

"Brother Si Shen, I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Shou to be such a free and easy person, you see that he even took off his clothes, haha...... When he was a child, he was silent and tight, and his younger brother beat him many times for this? Now that I think about it, time flies so fast, the three highnesses are already married and have children! ”

"Free, huh...... Free and easy, then you can follow well! The big clan sent you to the saint for foster care through the queen's relationship earlier, but in the end, I didn't expect you to automatically ask for your life to be the driver of this generation of state, haha make people go! ”

"Brother, don't say that, I also understand the thoughts of the elders of the big clan, I will not forget that I am a member of the Taiyuan Wang family, but I have been taught by the saint for many years, how can I not repay the country's kindness with my life, let alone kill my father's revenge......"

"Okay, don't talk about this, drink, only drink today, you have been out for many months, you must have worked very hard!" "That's true, where Tuyuhun doesn't, there is wind and sand everywhere......"

In this way, the two talked and laughed, Li Mao sang and danced among the soldiers, and the stars and moons were full of stars and moons when they played, and in the next three days, Wang Zhonghe, like Wang Sishen before, was also bent on the installation of the horseshoe, and after he got it all, Li Mao should prepare everything in order.

So the large team of more than 7,000 people finally drove directly to the Turkic Khanate, which is now in Outer Mongolia, but this time when he went abroad and saw the setting of the local passes, Li Mao realized that he underestimated the wisdom of the ancients, and he was a little bit of a person sitting in a well and watching the sky since he was a child.

"Loyalty, do you say that there are more than 1,800 beacons (alarm posts similar to beacon towers) stretching near the three surrendered cities in the north and south of this Yin Mountain? Isn't that a smaller version of the cage warfare method proposed by this king earlier? It's the same thing, I can't imagine it, I can't imagine that our Datang did this decades ago! ”

"Your Highness, what you said is true, but the beacon is still far from the cage warfare method you mentioned, mainly because there was no cement invented by your Highness before, so it took a lot of effort to build this beacon, and the Tang Dynasty was able to build the enemy situation warned by the beacon in the case of the destruction of the former Turkic state, and the scale was very small!"

After Li Mao heard Wang Zhongsi say this, he immediately nodded in agreement, because just as he said, the several beacons in front of him were in tatters, and there were only dozens of soldiers to accommodate them, but fortunately, there were three large surrendered cities, each of which was 400 miles southeast and west, and there were more than 1,000 beacons in the middle to warn from a high place. In this way, the Turkic state did not dare to attack further for decades.

For this reason, Li Mao later deliberately checked the relevant classics to enrich his understanding of the Fengsui tactics. According to the "General Dictionary" written by Du You of the Tang Dynasty, it is recorded that the beacon tower is in the high mountains and is dangerously disposed of, and the mountains are also placed on the flat ground in solitude. Under the construction of sheep and horses in the small city, the high and the lower are convenient, should be subject to the third five.

The high platform is five zhang, the lower width is two zhang, and the upper width is one zhang. The shape is round, and the round house is built on it, and the diameter of the house is one zhang and six ...... The four sides of the house are open to the thief holes, and the fire torch is opened. Set a flag, a drum, two crossbows, throw stones, roll wood, stop water urns, dry food, fire drills, rockets, wolf dung, cow dung, every night, raise a fire safely, raise a fire when you hear the alarm, raise three fires when you see smoke and dust, and burn wolf smoke when you see the enemy. If the fire does not come every morning and night, that is, the beacon soldiers are caught by thieves, and there are six people in one beacon, and one officer is in charge of the documents and charms.

When he saw such a detailed and tight outpost installation, Li Mao was simply amazed, and had to applaud for a long time for the military quality of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, what are you thinking? Are you surprised by the beacon in front of you, in fact, these are the defective products left in the early years, and when we go further, those improved hanging attic beacons make people yearn for it? The last general was fortunate enough to see it once, and the modified beacon was divided into two layers, all climbed by ropes, and the light and dark were staggered in the various passes and dangerous places that entered the border of my Tang Dynasty, which made it difficult for the Turkic thieves to advance half a step in the past, and this is why there is now the prostrated Chen Chen of the Viga Khan......"

"Haha...... That's right, the so-called neighboring countries have good relations, they all speak on their own strength, the truth is always within the range of the strong crossbow, and the soldiers are invincible! In view of this king, this Viga Khan is not a good bird, the strong will enter the army to plunder, and the weak will run through the mountains and forests to seek peace, if it were not for the fact that my Tang Dynasty is now at the peak of national strength and invincible, they and the Tibetan thieves would have been embarrassed to attack! ”

Li Mao said as she spoke, and her hands tightened on the reins and stopped moving forward. "Where are Li Xin and you dead, get over to this king!"

"Coming, coming, your subordinates are following you? I wonder what His Highness's sudden exchange of subordinates has? ”

"You dead man, this king has shouted at you several times, why do you only agree now, you quickly send a letter to Xiao Tiancheng, asking him to open another cement factory in Taiyuan Mansion, and be sure to transport the cement made to the Turkic border at the end of the year to build fortifications and widen several surrendered cities!"

"Ah...... Your Highness, I am afraid that there are many inappropriateness in building the city without authorization, and now that Tubo and my Tang Dynasty have a good relationship with each other, your rash actions may cause unnecessary misunderstandings! ”
