"In the Turkic camp, almost all were cavalry, and there were no siege equipment. Therefore, Jieli Khan never thought of attacking Chang'an! According to my opinion: This time, he simply took advantage of me.
The Tang Dynasty was unstable, so they came to show off their force and then looted treasures."
In the Li Zheng Hall, Fang Xuanling, who had returned safely, sat opposite Li Shimin and talked in detail about his findings in the Turkic camp.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the main seat, listened quietly to what Fang Xuanling said, but just nodded slowly, with no fluctuation on his heroic face, as if nothing could shake his true heart.
However, the calmer Li Shimin became, the more wary Fang Xuanling became, because he knew that this was the expression of Li Shimin's extreme anger!
As a young hero! He had just cleared the obstacles and ascended the throne as emperor, but the Turks were riding on his head to show off his power!
If it hadn't been for the firearms attack on the camp that night to regain some dignity, Fang Xuanling couldn't even imagine what this young Majesty would have done!
"I know this, the Turks are not good at attacking cities, and Chang'an is not a city that can be captured by a hundred thousand people!" Li Shimin slowly picked up a cup of tea, raised his head and drank it in one gulp. Li Shimin finally spoke, but was moistened by the tea.
His voice still sounded a little dry and hoarse.
Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Shimin, smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, they are not good at attacking cities, but if they really do what Jie Li said and let go of their taboos and let their subordinates plunder wantonly, then the Tang Dynasty will probably immediately
We’re going to be trapped in endless melee again!”
Li Shimin nodded and said with hatred in his eyes: "I also know this! So he used this as a threat to ask for treasures from me. I will give it to him even if I spend all my treasury! If he wants land, I will give it to those border lands.
he!
I don’t want anything else, just three years! As long as you give me three years, everything he owed us before will be repaid to me one by one!"
"Three years, three years is enough!"
Listening to Li Shimin's words word by word, and thinking of the gorgeous firelight that night, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but repeat it, and even his somewhat pale face became filled with an inexplicable sense of pride!
After three years, I'm afraid the world will be like what Xiao Han said. How we want to play then will all depend on us!
“Are firearms really powerful in actual combat?”
After getting angry, the anger that had been held in the hearts of the monarch and his ministers suddenly dissipated a lot, and Li Shimin also thought of asking about the result of that night's battle.
Although he stood on a high platform and looked at the Wei River all night that night, because the distance was too far, he only heard a few weak explosions coming from the night wind.
"Very powerful!"
When Li Shimin asked about this, Fang Xuanling immediately nodded solemnly and said affirmatively: "That Ye Chen was in the carriage outside, so he could see clearly: a firearm exploded and could kill at least a dozen people in a crowded place.
There are countless people injured!
Moreover, I also discovered that the most terrifying thing about this weapon was not its power, but the blow to morale. Those Turks had no idea what was attacking them, and they couldn’t even figure out why the sky above their heads exploded.
So they only dared to run away and beg for mercy, begging the gods to spare them."
"Pray the gods to spare them?" Li Shimin punched the ground hard and said in a cold voice: "When they killed my people and kidnapped my women and children, did they ever think of sparing them! Their gods didn't accept them, so I did!
It’s a pity that the firearms that night were still less powerful!”
"Oh? Is there a more powerful firearm somewhere in Xiaohou?" Fang Xuanling keenly heard the implication of Li Shimin and asked quickly.
Li Shimin sneered and said to him: "Yes, and there are many! Like the ones used that night, they were specially designed to reduce the weight and the amount of firearms used! In fact, on the wall of Chang'an City, there is such a big one without any
Changed!
I heard from Xiao Han that he is currently researching a kind of firearm that people can hold and throw out. It seems to be called a hand mine! There is also a kind of mine that is buried in the ground and explodes when a man or horse steps on it. "
"Hand mine? Earth mine? Plus this divine mine? Isn't this Xiao Han the reincarnation of Lei Zhenzi?" A ridiculous thought came to his mind. Fang Xuanling stood up solemnly and said solemnly to Li Shimin.
He cupped his hands and said, "I would like to congratulate your Majesty on obtaining this artifact!"
Li Shimin laughed and waved his sleeves at Fang Xuanling: "You're welcome, my dear! As for the artifact, it's not considered a magic weapon yet, but Xiao Han said: In the future world, whoever masters firearms will master the world.
"
Fang Xuanling's eyelids jumped when he heard this, he retracted his hand, and replied with a smile: "I have always believed Xiaohou's words! However, it seems that the man who wields firearms controls the world is a bit exaggerated."
"Haha..." Li Shimin waved his hand and smiled without answering.
It's not that he doesn't want to answer, it's just that even he can't imagine: the kind of weapon Xiao Han said can destroy half of Guanzhong with just one weapon, and make it a desert for decades, and whoever enters will die.
, what exactly does it look like?

"A'shee...A'shee...is that turtle bastard scolding me again?"
In the Qinling Valley, Xiao Han, who was lying under a clump of bamboo, rubbed his nose, raised his head and asked angrily around him.
"Xiao Hou, why do you always like to use turtle and tortoise when you curse?"
Xiao Han didn't expect that the first person to answer his question was not Xiaodong, but Ren Qing! What's even more strange to him is that this black-faced monster who can't even hit a fart with three sticks on weekdays, why would he ask
Xiao Han has such a nonsensical question?
Xiao Han yawned and glanced at Ren Qing. Xiao Han could tell from his serious face: This guy must have been thinking about this problem for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't take the initiative to ask like now.
Of course, if you have this question, you really can’t blame Ren Qing.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, animals that could live for many years, such as tortoises and turtles, were considered auspicious animals! They could be carved on the beams of houses and used as home guards to ward off evil spirits.
Those who live by the water, if they accidentally catch an older turtle on a daily basis, they must release it as soon as possible, even if it is too late!
Moreover, in this era when the average life span is very short, many people deliberately give their children names related to turtles in order to seek the auspiciousness of long life.
People like Li Guinian and Han Guisheng all rose to the top of the party smoothly, and no one dared to say their names were bad.
Therefore, Ren Qing couldn't understand: These are obviously good things, but why did they become curse words when it came to Xiao Han?
"I like to curse people with turtles, why, not?"
Da Jing got up from the straw mat, and Xiao Han patted his butt angrily.
I want to tell you: Those two things represent the meaning of old age and immortality? Just dream!
