The eldest son is fierce

Seeing the two old men rolling up their sleeves and about to fight, Tang Yin immediately carried a chair and ran between them, blinking her big eyes and saying, "Grandpa, I'll sit here."

The two old men immediately called a truce, and all kinds of delicious food were placed in front of Tang Yin.

"Why? I'm so unknown that you wouldn't even bother to show me respect?"

Emperor Yanwen was somewhat dissatisfied and knocked on the table with his hand.

Tang Yi was a little embarrassed and said, "Junior Tang Yi, I don't know how to address you uncle yet."

"My name is Xiao Ce! You can call me Uncle Xiao." Emperor Yanwen directly gave his name.

Chen Diaosi and Zhao Hu's expressions changed immediately.

Your Majesty, why don’t you even use a pseudonym and just state your real name!

Calling you by your name is extremely disrespectful.

Xiao Ce? Tang Yi searched for this name in his mind, but found nothing.

He didn't take it too seriously and bowed respectfully: "Hello, Uncle Xiao. I have to thank you first. If it weren't for Uncle Xiao's help, the gate of the Tang family would have been trampled down by now."

Tang Yi is not a fool. "Man Jiang Hong" caused such a big stir that it alarmed all the civil and military officials in the court. It would be easy to find out his identity.

But now no one has discovered his identity as the Immortal Poet, which can only mean that an unknown force has intervened.

The only person he knew who had this ability was the man in front of him.

"I have to thank you for being like a beggar that day. No one recognized your identity, so I had room to maneuver."

Emperor Yanwen waved his hand irritably and said, "I won't buy any poems today. I'm really annoyed. I've decided to fight, but the Northern Di cavalry has scared many people."

"I want to hear if you have any ideas for dealing with the Northern Di cavalry!"

Tang Yi pointed at himself and said in surprise: "Uncle Xiao, do you think too highly of me? Why are you asking me about this? General Di and the old prince are here."

"They are my seniors, how dare I show off my skills in front of them!"

Tang Yi was speechless. Besides, this was a national affair.

If you make irresponsible comments on such matters, you might lose your head.

"Boy, the court has decided to fight."

"However, there are still many people who oppose it, and His Majesty is very troubled by this matter."

Di Cang removed the fish bones for Tang Yin and placed the fish meat in Tang Yin's bowl. He said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Besides, it's just a casual chat!"

Emperor Yanwen also glared at Tang Yi and said, "Did you hear that? It's just a casual chat, what are you afraid of?"

Tang Yi smiled and said, "If we're going to deal with cavalry, of course we'll use the Maxim heavy machine gun!"

Emperor Yanwen and Di Cang raised their heads simultaneously: "Mark...what gun?"

"Ahem, nothing, just a joke."

Tang Yi sat down, pondered for a moment, and said, "In this era, there are many ways to deal with cavalry. For example, we can forge Mo Dao and hook-and-sickle spears, and then organize death squads to chop off the horses' legs and pick off the cavalry!"

"But this requires the army to have strong qualities and courage. Our Da Yan army... to be honest, can't do it."

Emperor Yanwen wanted to refute, but the words turned into a sigh.

If the army had this kind of quality, there would be no Jingkang Shame!

"So, we can only focus on weapons."

"And the best weapon against cavalry is the crossbow."

"But our bows have too short a range and lack the killing power. Often, we're confronted by cavalry after just two shots."

"But I know a type of bow... the compound bow. It has great damage and a long range, making it more than enough to deal with cavalry. There's also the Zhuge Crossbow, which can fire more than a dozen arrows at once and can be used in conjunction with the compound bow."

Tang Yi talked freely, and Di Cang and Emperor Yanwen looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

The old prince, who had been silent all this time, also raised his head and looked at Tang Yi.

What did this little guy say? He really has a way to deal with cavalry!

Compound bow? Zhuge Crossbow? What kind of weapons are these? I've never heard of them!

Snapped!

Di Cang grabbed Tang Yi's shoulder and said, "You have such a good thing, why don't you take it out quickly?"

"hiss!"

Tang Yi felt his shoulders were broken, gasping in pain: "Old General, you have to give me some time to draw the design!"

"If you want it now, I'll get it for you."

Emperor Yanwen slapped Di Cang's hand away and said, "Then draw it first. It just so happens that the old prince will be out of the city for a few days of inspection. After the drawing is completed, have someone send it to the old prince and have the army forge it as soon as possible."

"We're working day and night to get a batch out first to test the results!"

The old prince nodded and said, "As soon as the blueprints come out, I will personally take charge of this matter."

"As long as I can kill the Beidi dog, I'm willing to sacrifice my life!"

The old prince had a cruel look on his face. Di Cang raised his hand and patted his shoulder. Emperor Yanwen also sighed lightly.

They all experienced the Jingkang Humiliation and had relatives who died in that disaster.

The old prince’s wife and children died in that disaster. They don’t want to experience that desperate and humiliating scene again!

Tang Yi noticed the heavy atmosphere, but since he didn't know what happened back then, he had to remain silent.

Tang Yin saw that the old man who had been kind to her just now was now full of murderous intent, and she quickly pushed the roast chicken in front of her to the old prince.

"Grandpa, eat this! I hope you won't die. I hope you will live a long life."

She didn't know hatred. Even though her brother had been bullied half to death by her elder and second brothers, she was just angry.

However, she had an extreme fear of hunger.

I thought that as long as I was full, I wouldn’t die!

One sentence made the old prince burst into tears on the spot.

If there hadn't been that damn war and his son hadn't died in battle, his granddaughter would probably be this old now!

"Okay, Grandpa, eat it, and Grandpa won't die."

The old prince broke off a chicken leg and gave it to Tang Yin, then tore off a chicken wing and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "Grandpa must live to see us, the men of Great Yan, wash away the shame of that year with blood!"

Emperor Yanwen's face darkened when he heard this. Didn't he also want to avenge his humiliation?

But the battle that year had broken the backbone of Dayan, so that many people thought that if they lived on their knees, they would not have to die.

But they forgot that he was the emperor, the emperor of Dayan.

He is not a puppet!

"Uncle Liang, since we're just chatting, I'll just say some things directly."

Due to his professional habits in his previous life, Tang Yi took a lot of information and maps from Tang Jing's study in the past few days, and roughly understood the situation in the northern border.

"I've been bored these past few days, so I've been researching the battles we fought with the Northern Di."

"We discovered that most of the wars they waged against Da Yan were to plunder winter supplies. Most of the wars took place during Da Yan's autumn harvest, while a few occurred when they could no longer survive the winter."

"But now it's been over a month since the Great Yan Autumn Harvest, and they're still just deploying troops on the border with no signs of war. This doesn't make sense..."

"If they want to wait until winter to start the war, then why would they gather hundreds of thousands of troops and wait for several months? Even the food and horses would exhaust the Northern Di people. That's even more unreasonable..."

"I think the Northern Di might be joining forces with the Eastern Yu in an attempt to divide the northern border."
