Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin tasted the seafood, the table was full of delicious dishes, and the fragrance was overflowing: "Very good, very good"

At this time, a "report~"

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin frowned slightly, put down his chopsticks and chewed a piece of fish.

"The enemy troops from the Western Regions have reached the border and the war has begun!" said the visitor, clasping his hands.

"Knock knock knock," Li Shimin tapped the table with his fingers. "Is that so?"

In the military camp in the Western Regions, the atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring.

The general of the Western Regions stood with his hands on his shoulders: "There must be a war with the Tang Dynasty. Now, it begins, ha ha ha ha"

The soldiers' eyes were determined, their swords were sharpened, and their horses were neighing, as if they were eager to charge into battle: "Roar, roar, roar!"

"Let's go and fight the Tang Dynasty!" The Western Region general swung the long sword in his hand violently, his eyes burning with fanaticism and determination.

The soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky, the sound of horses' hooves thundered, and raised a cloud of dust.

In the Tang Dynasty military camp, Cheng Yaojin brandished an axe, his eyes wide open, and roared: "Those bastards from the Western Regions dared to invade our Tang Dynasty. We must make sure they never return!" His roar was like thunder, shaking the tent slightly.

Li Jing looked solemn, staring at the sand table with lightning-like eyes, and gesturing on the border line with his fingers.

He looked into the distance in a deep voice, "The enemy is coming with great force. We must not underestimate them. We must set up a good defense and wait for them to tire themselves out. We must first find out their strengths and weaknesses before making any plans."

The atmosphere in the tent was solemn. The soldiers were on high alert, ready to fight the invading enemy as soon as the order came.

Cheng Yaojin laughed heartily and licked the popsicle in his hand. "Those guys from the Western Regions don't have anything like this to beat the heat. They'll definitely be exhausted under the scorching sun. Let's eat the popsicle to gather our strength. We can definitely beat the crap out of them."

After saying that, he threw the popsicle stick away.

Li Jing smiled and nodded slightly, "Hahaha, that makes some sense. Let's march out and show them the might of the Tang Dynasty."

Suddenly, the horns sounded, and the Tang army rushed towards the border with high morale, and the momentum seemed to be able to break through the sky.

Soon the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions came face to face, and the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

The Tang army was lined up in neat formations, their momentum was overwhelming, and the soldiers' eyes were filled with fearlessness: "Let's charge~"

Cheng Yaojin took the lead, wielding his axe like a god of war, and charged into the enemy camp with a roar. Wherever his axe touched, blood splattered: "Slay you, Western Region Wolf!"

The Western Regions army was not to be outdone. They shouted and charged. The Western Regions general patted the head of the centurion next to him and said, "Charge! What are you waiting for? Are you standing there?"

"Yes Yes Yes"

For a moment, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the place where the battle took place became a mess.

Li Jing commanded with confidence. With a wave of his feather fan, the Tang army changed their formation, attacking or defending, with seamless coordination.

For a moment, the sounds of shouting and weapons clashing resounded throughout the world, and the battlefield was filled with smoke.

"roar~"

"Dang Dang Dang"

"Ding"

"嘘嘚嘚"

The soldiers from the Western Regions gradually became exhausted due to the unbearable heat.

"General, I can't do it anymore. It's so hot. How come the Tang soldiers don't seem to be afraid of the heat?"

The general frowned, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes. "Don't talk nonsense! They must have a way to beat the heat, but we can't just retreat like this."

He looked at the Tang army in the distance, feeling unwilling: "How could this happen? Could it be that the Tang Dynasty has some powerful military advisor? That shouldn't be the case. I've never heard of it."

The soldier beside him had chapped lips and sweat soaked his battle robe, but he still held his weapon tightly: "General, this heat is really unbearable. The brothers can't hold on any longer."

There was a hint of despair in his voice. The heat on the battlefield seemed to swallow them up, forming a sharp contrast with the high spirits of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

The general from the Western Regions walked out of the barracks and said: "You are not allowed to retreat. I don't believe it."

Cheng Yaojin grinned widely, revealing his signature smile, his laughter reverberating across the battlefield like a bell: "Hahaha, it looks like these guys from the Western Regions can't hold on any longer."

Li Jing nodded. "Look at them, they look like wilted melons in this scorching sun. We Tang Dynasty men have popsicles to cool off, how can they compare?"

"Brothers, work harder and beat them back home!"

After saying that, he swung his axe again and charged towards the enemy with great force.

Zuixianlou

The emperor leaned back in his chair, swishing the plum wine in his hand. A faint smile played on his face. "Hmph, the Western Regions dared to invade, not even realizing how powerful the Tang Dynasty is. This time, they will be defeated."

Yuyu frowned, a little worried: "Although our Tang Dynasty is strong, war will always result in casualties and loss of money. I hope that all the soldiers can return safely."

Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, "Yes, I really hope this war can be over quickly without any trouble."

Li Hao crossed his arms and said confidently, "What are you afraid of? With General Cheng and General Li here, what tricks can those Western Region soldiers come up with? We just have to wait for the victory report."

Li Shimin stood up unsteadily: "Hiccup~ I have to go back to the palace, I still have things to deal with~ Guards, pack some seafood for me to bring back to the palace"

The guard nodded and offered his hand: "Yes"

Yuyu put down the bowl of green plum soup and said: "This seafood is delicious. I'll fill a basket with it."

Xiaoyu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please take care. Pack up the seafood and take it back. You can enjoy it again when you're hungry at night. You also need to rest well after dealing with the war."

Li Hao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please return to the palace without worry. With our Tang soldiers fighting bravely on the front lines, we will ensure your Majesty's safety. You must savor this seafood when you return to the palace."

Li Shimin waved his hand and walked to the carriage: "I will."

Yuyu continued to stare at the direction Li Shimin had left, muttering, "Once this war breaks out, it will determine the lives of countless people. I truly hope that the Tang soldiers will be safe and sound and return triumphantly soon."

Xiaoyu patted Yuyu's shoulder gently and said soothingly, "History says that our Great Tang is renowned for its might and power. General Cheng and General Li are both formidable figures. They will surely defeat those Western Region troops. Don't worry."

Li Hao crossed his arms, puffed out his chest, and said confidently, "Humph! Do you think we can even reach Chang'an? This is the capital of our Great Tang, it's impregnable!"

"With brave and capable generals like General Cheng and General Li leading their elite troops guarding the front lines, how could those ragtag bands from the Western Regions ever get close to Chang'an?"

Xiaoyu nodded and cleared the bowl. "Let's just wait patiently for the good news. Don't worry about it!"

Yuyu stretched and yawned as he said, "Yeah, there's no point in getting anxious. I might as well take a nap and get enough rest. Who knows, when I wake up, there might be news of victory from the front."

Xiaoyu also nodded and rubbed her eyes. "Yes, I'll get some sleep first. I'm really tired. I hope I can have a sweet dream, a dream about our Tang Dynasty winning a great victory."

Li Hao walked to the door: "I am also very sleepy"
