Datang Library

"Marshal, before the last general takes orders, can you report to Master first?"

"No, don't delay the strategy, this place is at least [-] days away from Datang, once you finish asking for instructions, the opportunity to fight will be gone long ago.

Besides, I am the Marshal, not Marshal Bai Fan. "Li Ji scolded.

This meant that Li Ji bullied Hong Dali for his bad words and forced him to arrest the strong men. If Hong Qianli came over instead, he would definitely be able to use his tongue to excuse him.

"No, no, Marshal, this time I brought you an artifact by order of my master, so I can send letters back and forth with my master on the same day."

With that said, Hong Dali brought a radio station with him when he went out. For the convenience of front-line command, reinforcement facilities have been arranged in Yizhou along the way, otherwise the signal may not be able to reach Chang'an if the signal is not good.

Li Ji watched Hong Dali fiddle with it for a while, doubtful, and asked about the working method of the telegraph. When Hong Dali got Bai Fan's reply, Li Ji hardly believed it.

After several twists and turns, Hong Dali finally convinced Li Ji of the authenticity of the telegram communication. After Li Ji believed it, the first thing he did was to send a long letter of complaint to Bai Fan. Hong Dali sent the telegram for an hour.

After reading it, Bai Fan frowned. He obviously didn't expect Li Mingxin to have many hidden abilities. After thinking twice, Bai Fan agreed to keep Hong Dali in front of the army, and at the same time provide mine clearance methods. Li Ji was just doing justice.

To break through the minefields in Tubo, one is to train engineers to clear mines slowly day by day. Obviously, the Tang Dynasty cannot have so much time, and must invade Tubo before winter comes.

So Li Ji chose an effective method, that is, the Fire Bull Formation. Since the official road is not wide, and the Tubo landmines are limited, so a group of cattle or yaks are collected, and they will walk in front of the mines one by one, so that they can be effectively cleared. obstacles, the army advances smoothly.

Sure enough, after three waves of minefields, the front was finally safe, and the army rushed all the way straight to the city of Yuji.

Unprepared by the Tubo people, Datang's [-] troops easily captured Yuji City. This city, which had been in prosperity for three years under the management of Datang, fell into decline again after the baptism of opium, because the people were infected with Too many drugs.

So Li Ji left [-] people to guard the city, and sent people to purchase antidote medicinal materials to rectify the drug affairs in the city.

The other [-] soldiers were extremely quick and pushed them all the way.

After breaking through three cities in a row, Tubo was finally alerted. Li Xinzhong was furious after he reacted. He took out the [-] thunderbolts in stock to defend, and copied Datang's catapult assistance method, which made Datang unable to deposit.

The two sides fell into a confrontation again, and at this time, winter on the plateau came, and the mountains were covered with heavy snow, so it was obviously impossible to fight again.

The military report was transmitted to the palace by telegraph, and Li Er was overjoyed. After all, he was a fledgling boy, not as experienced as Li Ji, and Tubo's defeat was already set.

The Li Xinzhong brothers also seemed to know that if you defend for a long time, you will lose, so taking advantage of the cold four or five months to breathe, the two stepped up to discuss the way to survive.

"My dear brother, how much gunpowder and Thunderbolt can you make in one winter?"

Li Mingxin shook his head and said: "Tubo is remote, and the products are scarce and the resources are insufficient, so the output is not enough. Even if we use the greatest manpower and material resources, we can only produce [-] thunderbolts in five months."

Li Xinzhong shook his head and said: "No, too few, Datang can easily crush us.

It seems that we can't do it recklessly, we can only increase our tricks, just as the new season of poppies is harvested. "

Li Mingxin frowned, and began to persuade: "Brother, poppy is too poisonous, it will harm the harmony of nature, why don't you think about it again."

"Hmph, pedantic, what do you mean by hurting Tianhe? Too poisonous? Thunderbolt makes people's bones disappear. In terms of poison, we are not as good as Bai Fan.

Now people are making it impossible for us to live, are you still a woman?Don't take revenge on the family? "

8 Chapter Twenty

Dajun's footsteps were blocked by heavy snow, and Hong Dali saw that Tubo could not be captured to arrest people, and then he remembered that his mission to enter the Southwest was not to help fight the war, but to help Sanmei interrogate the wicked.

"Marshal, the general has requested to go to Tibet as an envoy. I need to ask Li Mingxin for some questions." Hong Dali found Marshal Li Ji.

Li Ji was studying the winter defense strategy. He frowned when he heard this. How could he be so good? Why are you looking for Li Mingxin?

"You are a vanguard of the army, what questions do you ask the enemy? Besides, you are a general, not a debater."

Hong Dali was really embarrassed to explain in detail, could it be that as an uncle, he asked if he had forgotten his sister?I'm afraid that the commander-in-chief will be offended immediately.

"Well, the general came here to question with his master's order. After all, Li Mingxin is also my disciple of Zhongnan. Of course, he will leave after the questioning and don't argue. The master only wants the result."

Li Ji shook his head and said: "No, you can't go, the enemy's camp is extremely dangerous, you are like a sheep at the mouth of a tiger."

"If the two countries are at war, if you don't kill the envoy, the last general will not be damaged, even if they lie in ambush." ​​Hong Dali said confidently.

Bai Fan was able to send him here because of safety considerations. Among the seven disciples, Hong Dali was the indestructible kung fu of King Kong. If Li Xinzhong didn't follow the rules and commit murder, at least he would be able to save his life.

Seeing Hong Dali's insistence, Li Ji sullenly said, "What does Bai Fan mean?

That's what I said last time. I sent Li Mingxin away forever. Although you are a general who has marched with me for many years, you are also from Zhongnan after all. If you are detained again, can I still have Li Ji's face? "

"Why, isn't the commander-in-chief distrustful of the last general?" Hong Dali was a little annoyed, he was not Li Xinzhong, but we came from innocent backgrounds, could we still join the enemy after fighting against you for many years?

"No, even if Bai Fan came, I would not agree, this is a military security requirement.

How about this, isn't it just to ask a few words?There is no need to go deep into the enemy's camp, the commander will accompany you, and ask Li Mingxin and the two armies for a while, and then ask what you want to ask, firstly, it will be safe, and secondly, it will not be used by those who are troublesome. " Li Ji conspired.

Hong Dali was reminded by Li Ji, and remembered the advice of his second brother Hong Qianli before leaving the house, Zhongnan Academy was already at the forefront of the storm and could no longer attract criticism.

"In the end, everything will be arranged by the commander-in-chief."

Li Xinzhong was a little suspicious when he received the letter from Li Ji from the Tang Dynasty, what's the point of having a nice meeting?And called the name to see the second brother?Could it be a fraud?

Hmph, it's not that it's not true, there must be fraud.

Datang was afraid that we would succeed in defense, so he wanted to make an appointment to destroy the second brother in one fell swoop, it is really shameless, Li Xinzhong guessed.

At the critical moment when Li Mingxin was researching landmines and gunpowder, where could he be distracted or disturbed?So Li Xinzhong directly withheld the letter without replying.

The wait lasted for more than a month, but Hong Dali outside was so anxious that he had been out for two months, and a piece of news hadn't been delivered to the third sister. Wouldn't it make the family anxious?

This day, Li Mingxin finally researched a very high-purity gunpowder. The explosive power is several times that of the traditional black powder. Although he doesn't know what the real powder is, this kind of thing is already very rare. After all, he is not from a professional background. At this step, Li Mingxin is already a genius.

"What a shameless thief. He tried endlessly to cheat our brother out of Tubo. Now he even uses his children's affair as a temptation. He is really shameless. This Hong Dali is really brave. In order to win the conspiracy, even himself Don't you want my sister's reputation?"

In the Tubo palace, Li Xinzhong looked at the letter in his hand and sneered while angrily reprimanded.

This scene just happened to be heard by Li Mingxin who came in, his mind woke up, and he quickly stepped forward to grab the letter in his hands.

"Oh? The little brother is out of customs? So the research is successful? That's great, God help me too.

Look at this letter, Datang is really shameless and unscrupulous, fortunately you came out to find a brother, otherwise sooner or later they will be..."

Before Li Xinzhong could finish speaking, Li Mingxin had a strange expression on his face, and he threw off his steps and ran towards his bedroom, making Li Xinzhong confused, so he had no choice but to quickly catch up.

When he found his younger brother, Li Xinzhong saw that Li Mingxin opened a delicate box next to the bed, holding a triangular amulet-like thing in his right hand, and at the same time opened a note with both hands, and was stunned at the note.

Li Xinzhong went over to take a look. Although it was not a famous handwriting, he could tell that the beautiful handwriting was a talented woman. There was only one line of words on it, 'The flowers on the Moshang bloom, but they can return slowly'.

Needless to say, Li Xinzhong still didn't understand that this was a token of love and a word of agreement, and then he thought of the words in Hong Dali's letter, and the matter became very clear.

Li Xinzhong, who understood everything, was furious: "Hmph, what a good way, really a good way.

It is said that Bai Fan is a benevolent gentleman. He never thought that in order to achieve his own dirty goals, he would sacrifice even his own sister. It is really despicable and shameless, and the shamelessness cannot be added..."
