The Braised Pork Gang has already sent people out to inquire about the bearded customers, just like His Majesty had sent people to inquire a few years ago.

So far, I haven't found anyone anywhere.

If the bearded man plans to live incognito and live in a different identity, if he doesn't want to come out and wants to find him, it will be easy to talk about, unless this hero wants to take the initiative to stand up.

This has become an unresolved matter for the Braised Pork Gang again.

In the court, today's court quarreled again, and the Ministry of Rites took a resolute attitude to defend Wen Ting's slaughter of the Baekje people, and Liu Xun and others in Zhongshu Province were hard to the end.

In the crusade against Baekje, the Ministry of Rites took a resolute attitude, and it was imperative to take Baekje, and it was imperative to unify Liaodong.

After the next dynasty, the military generals walked out of the Taiji Hall in twos and threes.

Zhang Daan said in a low voice: "Is it the meaning of Lisan to insist on taking Baekje?" ”

Xu Jingzong did not deny or admit it, but said in a low voice: "Unifying Liaodong is something that the Tang Dynasty must do, if they don't do it, then our Ministry of Rites will do it, as long as Your Majesty does not issue an order for Wen Ting to withdraw his troops, it doesn't matter how he says it in Zhongshu Province." ”

Li Yifu followed up and echoed: "What Xu Shangshu said is that I, the Tang Dynasty, want to dominate Liaodong!" ”

Wen Ting only has more than 1,000 people in his hands, and even the king of Baekje has taken it, this result is really good, but it is difficult to give credit to this person, with the current attitude of Zhongshu Province, it is difficult to say whether he can be safe after he returns, and he will even be punished.

Zhang Dasu said with a smile: "Baekje and Silla have not many troops, it is just a place the size of a state capital, Goguryeo still has a strong city to defend, Silla and Baekje have nothing, as far as the lower officials know, the soldiers and horses they can call are all fishermen, and the Tang Dynasty can send a 300-person government army to sweep it away." ”

At that time, Zhang Dasu went out of the customs to the Western Regions and Gaochang, and this person was familiar with the situation of many small countries outside the customs.

Since compiling the geography and geography of Guanwai with His Royal Highness the King of Wei, he is like a living Guanwai book, and he can say a thing or two about many local customs and customs.

Since Jang Dae-su thought so, everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with him, and after taking Goguryeo, crossing the most difficult tidal flats and swamps, and crossing the mountains of Goguryeo and heading south, he could go straight to Silla and Baekje.

Geographically, as long as the Central Plains mastered Goguryeo, it would be easy to go south.

Historically, the art of war has said that it is difficult to go north, but it is easy to go south.

Xu Jingzong hesitated: "It's strange, how did they stop Yang Guang back then?" ”

Several waiters in the Ministry of Rites nodded one after another, feeling very agreeable.

Everyone walked to the official residence of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Da'an didn't talk much on weekdays, he thought the most, and he guessed: "Lishan probably won't let Wen Ting come back like this." ”

Zhang Daxiang was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Among the three brothers, Zhang Daxiang is now impressed by this younger brother, his progress is too fast, and he can always take into account things that everyone can't think of.

Zhang Da'an said: "The real idea and purpose of the county marquis is actually to hope that Wen Ting will not only take Silla and Baekje, but also go east to take Wajima. ”

This matter has indeed not been talked about, Xu Jingzong thought about it and felt that this statement made sense, what is there to seek between Silla and Baekje?

It was so poor that it had blood in its urine.

It doesn't mean much, it's just a matter of governance and education in the future, and the only reason that Zhang Yang can come up with is to sweep Silla and Baekje and take Wajima in the east.

As early as when Zhang Yang was still a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, he learned from the mouth of the Japanese monk that there were silver mines on the island, and there were many, many silver mines.

This is a huge wealth, and the Ministry of Rites has tasted the sweetness at the beginning, and Zhang Shangshu will not let those silver mines be left there.

In this way, Xu Jingzong also figured it out, he suddenly slapped the case, and said angrily: "Those Japanese slaves only take so many to pay tribute, their hearts can be punished, and they must have anti-hearts!" It's unbearable! I will destroy them, and cut them down to the roots. ”

Xu Jingzong has followed Zhang Yang for so long, and his steps are still very firm.

Zhang Da'an drank a sip of tea and frowned and thought about it, and remembered what Zhang Yang had said, it seems that Xu Jingzong has not been sitting in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for a long time.

At most, in three or five years, His Majesty will promote him to Zhongshu Province, and the current Xu Jingzong will have no merit.

And this merit that is enough to be promoted to Zhongshu Province, Lishan will definitely send it to him.

Now that he has figured it out, Zhang Yang is such a person, he will not easily say what he really thinks, what he wants to do has been quietly carried out, and when the poor dagger sees him.

Zhang Da'an suddenly smiled again, Xu Jingzong is a smart person, and he can understand the deep meaning with a few clicks.

Not long after, a eunuch walked into the hall, "Your Majesty, please ask Xu Shangshu to enter the Ganlu Hall to discuss matters." ”

Xu Jingzong straightened his official uniform and followed the eunuch out of the Ministry of Rites.

Now there is a small stove in a corner of the official residence of the Ministry of Rites, which was left by Zhang Yang and the King of Hejian County, as well as the King of Wei during the period of the Ministry of Rites.

The stove was burning, and there was a small pot above it, and it was the tea eggs boiling in the pot.

When everyone leaves, they take a tea egg.

The summer heat in Guanzhong was very hot, a month after Mr. Wang Qi came to Lishan, in the middle of July of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, outside Lishan Village, a thousand unconscionable cannons were erected, and the bottom was fixed with bricks and stones, leaving only half of the cannon body outside.

Today is the day of the artillery trial, Xiao Qingqing naturally can't miss this scene, she rode Xiong Da and followed her father's footsteps to the entrance of the village.

The rear is also followed by Xiong Er, Xiong 3 and Xiong 4.

These bears have just grown up, and they have become the little brothers of the bears.

There are more and more people who come out from Chang'an City to see the excitement, and Wei Chigong, Qin Qiong, Hou Junji, Niu Jinda and other generals in the army are here.

Along with this, there were also Fang Xiang and the eldest grandson Wuji, Cen Wenwen and other provincial officials in the Chinese book.

Even the envoys of the various countries who were stranded in Chang'an City were also present.

This time, the audience for the martial arts performance was much smaller than before, and the Long Wujun had already surrounded the nearby ten miles of land.

Idlers and others could not approach, forming an open field.

In order to verify the effectiveness of the artillery, a number of hills were piled up within the range of the artillery.

"The county marquis."

Hearing the words, Zhang Yang turned around and saw his acquaintance, and said with a smile: "Zampu, why are you here." ”

Songtsen Gampo stepped forward and said, "This kind of scene is naturally to be watched. ”

Zhang Yang shook the pu fan in his hand and said with emotion: "Actually, this kind of scene is not suitable for you to watch, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it." ”

Noticing a little girl on the back of a bear looking at her, Songtsen Gampo also looked at her.

"You're Songtsen Gampo?" Xiao Qingqing asked.

"This is my daughter." Zhang Yang introduced.

"I have heard the prestige of the little county lord for a long time."

Songtsen Gampo saluted.

The prestige of the little county lord?

Zhang Yang thought about it for a while, and gasped again, if he could bombard Chang'an City and go home unharmed, his prestige should have spread all over Chang'an City.

Xiao Qingqing grabbed Xiong Da's ears, looked at him with a pair of eyes full of aura, and said, "Daddy said that Tubo Zampu is a very powerful person. ”

"Yes...... Is it? ”

Hearing this, Songtsen Gampo looked at Zhang Yang in surprise, as if he was confirming his opponent's affirmation of him.

Xiao Qingqing said again: "My father also said that if it weren't for Zampu's carelessness and negligence in guarding against the rear, the Tang Dynasty in Liangzhou might not have the upper hand." ”

Songtsen Gampo smiled bitterly and said, "Do you even tell your daughter about this kind of thing?" ”

Zhang Yang waved his hand and smiled: "She has too many teachers, and this matter is not about me." ”

The events of that year became a scar in Songtsen Gampo's heart, and it was very uncomfortable for this scar to be uncovered by a little girl.

Xiao Qingqing said in a milky voice: "Zampu can dominate Tibet at a young age, such feats are unprecedented, it is really admirable, future generations will remember Zampu, this is indeed what Daddy said." ”

The daughter is too clever to be difficult to discipline, and once suspected that she had followed Li Tai's fat man for a long time, learned to be so careful, and talked with Li Tai's cleverness, with her own unique naughtiness.

Songtsen Gampo put his hands behind his back, and it was difficult to hide the loneliness in his eyes, "With your father in Datang, Tubo is not the opponent of Datang." ”

"Isn't Zampu Daddy's opponent either?"

Songtsen Gampo did not answer with a straight face.

Zhang Yang glanced at her, and said: "Daddy and Zampu are opponents, they have always been opponents, there is only a temporary difference between high and low, in the long run, don't underestimate any opponent, don't make a conclusion because of a momentary victory or defeat, one day he grows up again, Daddy may also lose to him." ”

Xiao Qingqing lay on the bear's back, crossed his arms on the bear's head, pillowed his chin, and asked sideways: "Even if Tubo is included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, are Zampu and Daddy still opponents?" ”

Included in the territory of Datang? Songtsen Gampo's face darkened a little more, and he gritted his teeth and said: "She is worthy of being the daughter of the county marquis, and I admire it." ”

"Children's words are unscrupulous, they are all children's jokes, Zampu don't care too much."

"No!" Songtsen Gampo said: "I care very much! ”

"Zampu, rest assured, Datang is a good country, and there will not be such a day."

"You Zhang Yang has always been a wolf with ambition, I don't believe it!"

The fan in Zhang Yang's hand shook faster, how to explain it?

Then he glared at Xiao Qingqing and said seriously: "Don't ask." ”

Xiao Qingqing retracted his gaze and responded, "Hmm." ”

"Fire!" A shout was heard in the distance, and a thousand guns lined up glittered in the scorching sun.

As a platoon of soldiers pulled out the rope bolt, thick white smoke rose from the bottom of the artillery.

This ignition method is very simple, the pull force when the rope is pulled out hits the internal primer device, so the detonation efficiency is higher, and the detonation is faster.

After three or two breaths, just listen to the bang! Bang! Bang!

Several explosions sounded, and fireballs flew out of the barrels, and the smoke of the detonation was filled, making it impossible to see the specific situation.

As the fireballs landed on those hills, they exploded one after another, and the sound of explosions was deafening.

Xiao Qingqing covered the bear's ears and looked excited when he saw this scene.

When the smoke cleared, everyone saw the scene in front of them, and the hills were blown to pieces.

Everyone couldn't hide the shock in their eyes, and it was not a lie that they said that this thing could level the mountains and rivers.

With this thing, who can stop the Tang soldiers.

Some Wenchen expressed his chest on the spot, and some generals were enthusiastic.

Zhang Yang looked at Songtsan Gampo on the side, his face was pale and his lips were still trembling, so he comforted: "Zampu, I persuaded you." ”

Songtsen Gampo turned away from looking at the artillery, "Zhang Yang! You promised me. ”

"Well, although I and Zampu are rivals, no matter how big the grievances are, the people of Tubo are innocent, this is my promise."

Glancing at the girl riding on the bear's back again, Songtsen Gampo suddenly laughed, and after laughing three times, he said loudly: "It's the sky that doesn't favor Tibet." ”

"Zampu is wrong." Xiao Qingqing corrected: "There has never been a saying that the heavens favor you, the difference between strength and weakness in this world is only related to people. ”

Songtsen Gampo left, he was still laughing wildly as he walked, Zhang Yang was a little worried about this guy's mental state at the moment.

"Daddy, did I say the wrong thing?"

"You're not wrong."

"Well, this Zampu seems to be unwilling."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I can see it, if it weren't for the presence of Long Wujun here, maybe he would have fought with me on the spot." ”

"The bears will help Daddy."

"Let's go see the artillery."

"Hmm."

Zhang Yang took his daughter to the front of the camp, these unconscionable cannons were made in a hurry, because the cannon body was cast by the ordnance supervisor, and in order to ensure the quality, there will be this test release.

Listening to the reports of the soldiers, there were more than a dozen dumb ones, and five or six of them exploded.

Zhang Yang asked them to dismantle the broken artillery and take it to Lishan for repair.

This test run was generally smooth.

But the emperor didn't care about how many remnants of the artillery, so he issued an order the next day, ordering Li Ji to be the general manager of the Hexi Road march, sitting in the Hexi Corridor, and reorganizing the army of 100,000.

A group of soldiers and horses set off from Guanzhong to garrison the Hexi Corridor.

In the team, Liu Renliang was appreciated by His Majesty, and after coming to Chang'an from Chen Cang, he was also incorporated into the Western Expeditionary Army by His Majesty and served as a captain.

The army moved first, and the marching general Li Ji came to Lishan.

A big horse stopped in front of the village, and Li Ji immediately stopped and said loudly: "Where is the Duke of Weiguo!" ”

The pawns in front of the camp hurried to report it.

Li Ji turned over and dismounted, but before he saw Li Jing, he saw Cheng Yanjin first, "I heard that you are an old horseman, and you have been specializing in artillery all day long?" ”

Cheng bit Jin Lang and said: "It's a pity, obviously the old man is also in the prime of life, and His Majesty can still use you, but he no longer uses a certain family." ”

"Your Majesty has an order, and the last general has to go."

Seeing Li Ji's cheap and well-behaved appearance, Cheng Yanjin was very unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "If you go to the Hexi Corridor here, Your Majesty will not let you enter the Western Regions easily." ”

Li Ji nodded solemnly, "It's still you, Cheng Zhijie, who is awake, Your Majesty let the last general sit in the Hexi Corridor to deter the Western Regions and the Turks, as well as the Tubo people, the Persian war is imminent, and the Tubo and the Western Regions and the Turks can't cause chaos." ”

"Pei Xingjian, they are alone in the depths, and there are not many soldiers and horses in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, once the Western Regions and the Western Turks are in turmoil, their lone army will be dangerous, and there will be the last general to sit in the Hexi Corridor, once there is a change in the Western Regions, they can immediately send troops from the Hexi Corridor to exterminate it."

Only when the Western Regions are connected in a line can they bring a steady stream of soldiers and horses and baggage to Pei Xingjian and Liang Jianfang.

Everyone is a battle-hardened general and understands the key.
