Turkic.

In the royal court.

The Turkic king sat upright on the throne and looked at the tribe leaders below.

There was a lot of depression in the royal court.

The 300,000 Turkic cavalry were slaughtered, which was a catastrophe for the entire Turkic country.

If the Tang Dynasty had not sent a large army to penetrate the Turkic grasslands and massacre them.

Under the power of the Tang Empire, the major Turkic tribes had to gather together. At this moment, the Turkic king was facing the riots of the major tribes.

The Turkic king looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was extremely worried inside.

Because, only he knew that the Turkic master secretly sneaked into the territory of the Tang Dynasty and had never returned to this day

The Turkic King could not imagine what consequences would have caused if the national savage was also left in the Tang Dynasty.

You should know that over the years, the Turkic royal court has suppressed major tribes, relying on the national teacher.

The national teacher was in charge of the royal court with his own strength.

Now, the national teacher has no idea of ​​his life and death. Once this news comes out, it may be a disaster for heaven.

Just as the Turkic King was worried, a man with a rebellious expression stood up.

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty destroyed my 300,000 cavalry, and this hatred is irreconcilable."

"Now, the Tang Dynasty has sent a large army to the grassland and massacred the Turkic people. We should work together to keep this army completely on the grassland."

The man's expression was unruly, and everyone calmed down.

Keep the people of the Tang Dynasty completely on this grassland?

How to stay?

What to keep?

With the absence of 300,000 cavalry, it is difficult to protect themselves with the national strength of the Turks. Do you still have the spare time to keep the Tang army?

The Turkic King looked at the arrogant man: "Huyan, do you know what you are talking about?"

The unruly man bowed slightly: "King, the grassland is the territory of my Turkic people after all."

"Even if the Tang Dynasty has strong national strength, sending a large army into our grassland is a way out."

"In the grassland, there are crises everywhere, and natural disasters and man-made disasters can be seen everywhere."

"The Tang Dynasty did not have detailed information on my grassland and the guidance of my grassland map was equivalent to losing the initiative."

"We can wait for the effort with ease and win the more with less"

The unruly man stood above the royal court and talked freely, as if he was sure to win.

When the others heard these words, their faces changed slightly, and they thought about the feasibility.

The Ao Man is the leader of the Huyan tribe.

The Huyan family is one of the top ten tribes in the grassland.

And at least ranked in the top three.

The war horses produced by Huyan are the fastest-running war horses on the entire grassland.

Therefore, the words of the unruly man are very important.

The Turkic King looked hesitant.

If the national master had not sneaked into the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic King would really consider what Hu Yan said.

However, now that the national teacher has never returned, the Turkic King has no idea how many trump cards the Tang Empire has.

In this case, the Turkic King really had no courage to provoke the Tang Empire again.

"Hu Yan, are you sure the Tang Dynasty doesn't know about my grassland information?"

The Turkic King asked in a low voice.

When the abolition heard this, the abolition immediately said, "My Lord, my grassland is vast, and the top ten tribes are scattered around."

"Even if the Tang Empire has been found for ten years, it is impossible to find it!"

The unruly man's words were filled with deep self-confidence.

The others nodded secretly.

really.

The grassland is too big.

To find the location of the top ten tribes within such a large range is tantamount to finding a needle in the seabed.

Let’s talk about it!

Take a step back!

Even if the Tang Dynasty found one, what can it do?

There are countless traps and secret whistles arranged around each of the top ten tribes.

Just to deal with these, the army of the Tang Empire would probably be seriously injured.

Except for the Turkic King, almost everyone felt that what the arbitrary man said was reasonable.

"The King"

The arrogant man saw the Turkic King hesitate and was about to increase his persuasion.

However!

Just then.

A figure rushed into the royal court.

"Report! Report!!"

"The army of the Tang Empire captured the Huyan tribe, and the Huyan tribe suffered numerous casualties and wounded."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone's face changed drastically above the royal court.

The unruly man Hu Yan took a few steps back and collapsed to the ground with a thud!

Royal Palace.

After Li Si retired from court, he returned to the Hall of Eternal Life.

"Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal"

The eunuch close by bowed and said.

Li Si looked at the sky and said casually: "Take lunch here."

Li Si just finished speaking.

Outside the Hall of Eternal Life, palace maids and eunuchs entered the Hall of Eternal Life with exquisite dishes.

As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Si naturally would not treat himself badly in his diet.

These dishes were prepared for a whole morning by the imperial chef of the palace before carefully cooking them. Each dish is delicious on earth.

However, Li Si picked a few dishes and ate a few bites.

Just as Li Si was having a meal, the eunuch near the servant walked in and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Works is asking for a visit outside."

"The slave has told him that His Majesty is having meals, and the Minister of Works said he is willing to wait outside for His Majesty to finish his meal before asking for a meeting."

Li Si waved his hand when he heard this: "Let the Minister of Works come in."

"Abide by the order"

The eunuch who was close to him had just retired, and the Minister of Works quickly walked in.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

The Minister of Works looked excited.

"Get up."

"I thank Your Majesty."

The Minister of Works got up and his face was excited.

Li Si took a mouthful of food, looked at the Minister of Works, and said casually: "Have you made new progress in gunpowder?"

The only thing that the emperor personally told about the gunpowder matter that could be done by the Minister of Works.

"Report to your Majesty, I have made new breakthroughs in gunpowder research and development."

The Minister of Works immediately said: "Weichen added a new ingredient to the original formula of gunpowder. With this ingredient, the stability of gunpowder has been greatly improved and its power has also been improved."

The Minister of Works dances with his hands and feet.
