Chapter 2950 As long as there is a son-in-law and his musket battalion, no one can hurt Li Weigong
Li Shimin looked at the large tent full of civil and military ministers who all prostrated themselves on the ground. His liver ached with anger, but there was nothing he could do.
"Old Li Aiqing, what are you doing? Please get up quickly. All the gentlemen, please get up quickly."
"Only if Your Majesty agrees to this, I will dare to stand up."
Li Jing, however, continued to lie down obediently. Cheng Chubi could only follow the crowd at this moment and huddled back and knelt down, his eyes moving furtively.
As for him, he naturally does not want His Majesty to take risks. If something unexpected happens to his father-in-law, he, his mother-in-law and his mother-in-law will not be able to deal with it.
You must know that now I am the head of the imperial guards around His Majesty, responsible for the safety of my father-in-law.
Not only does my father-in-law have less hair, it doesn't matter if he has less eyebrows, less hair, or even becomes bald.
But when it comes to life-threatening issues, Cheng must bravely stand up and shoulder such a heavy burden.
"That's all. Since all the ministers and Li Lao Aiqing have the same idea, I will lead the main force and defeat Gao Huizhen, and then join up with Li Lao Aiqing."
"However, I will give you another five thousand troops..."
"Your Majesty, you must not do this." Li Jing, who had just stood up with a sigh of relief, almost knelt down again when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, if you give me more soldiers and horses than the old minister, it will be difficult to defeat Gao Huizhen quickly. Only by defeating Gao Huizhen as soon as possible can our army calmly attack Gao Yanshou's troops."
Li Daozong also nodded with deep understanding and saluted Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, I think what General Li said is absolutely true. I am willing to follow General Li to ward off the Goguryeo traitors."
Li Shimin pursed his lips tightly and glanced at the ministers, and then fell on Cheng Sanlang, his beloved son-in-law.
Seeing the look from his father-in-law, Cheng Sanlang also quickly stood up.
"My father-in-law, my son-in-law feels that Li Weigong's words are very reasonable. My son-in-law is willing to lead his musketry battalion to follow Li Weigong."
"Well, I also have this intention. Since I want all my honor guards to be used to lure the enemy, then, my dear son-in-law, and Zhao Kun, you all will stay and listen to Li Lao Aiqing's orders."
"Your Majesty! I thought that the left and right guards could leave an elite force to follow Li Wei Gong, but I cannot take another step away from Your Majesty."
Zhao Kun immediately became anxious. I am the head of your personal bodyguard, how could I stay?
Besides, the Queen has repeatedly warned her that she cannot leave her Majesty any further.
#####
In the end, Li Shimin led the main force and went south to attack the enemy, while Li Jing led the team that lured the enemy.
They displayed the full ceremonial guard of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and tried to let Gao Yanshou's tribe know their whereabouts.
As for Li Jing, how to hook up, ah no... how to tease, anyway, that's what he meant, to seduce Gao Yanshou.
Everyone was very confident about this, and those who stayed with Li Jing were Su Dingfang, Cheng Sanlang, and the Musket Battalion under Cheng Sanlang.
Of course, since artillery is more conducive to positional warfare than field battles, the forty artillery pieces originally included in the main army, as well as the improved version of the flying thunder cannon sent by Cheng Sanlang this time, were all handed over to Li Jing.
After all, Cheng Sanlang, the number one firearms expert in the Tang Dynasty, was here, and he knew how to use firearms better.
"Old Ai Qing, I'll leave that boy to you. You have to watch over him and don't let anything happen to him."
Although the military order has been issued, Li Shimin is still a little worried about his beloved son-in-law, mainly because this boy is prone to making troubles.
At this moment, Cheng Sanlang, who was squatting in front of the sand table and looking at the terrain, heard the beeping sounds between his father-in-law and Li Jing, and immediately became unhappy.
"My father-in-law, your son-in-law doesn't like to hear this. My son-in-law has always been rigorous in doing things..."
Seeing Cheng Sanlang's unconvinced expression, Li Jing burst into laughter and stroked his long beard with a smile.
"I transported food and grass, but the Liaodong City was easily captured, and I asked you to help Silla, but the Japanese country was gone..."
"Old love, Silla is gone too." Li Shimin reminded Li Jingdao seriously.
All the important military officials of the Tang Dynasty were smiling playfully next to them. It made Cheng Sanlang feel evil in his heart. Even though he was thick-skinned, how could you elders suppress the most talented person of the Tang Dynasty?
The father-in-law, who had no martial ethics, returned to his seriousness at this moment, and came to the side of Cheng Sanlang, who had a dark complexion, and spoke kindly to him.
"Okay, okay, it's just a joke. Don't be upset if you are a good son-in-law. I know what you are capable of.
It is precisely because of this that I have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility and asked you to stay with Mr. Li Aiqing, so that I can feel at ease."
After hearing this, Cheng Sanlang turned from anger to joy and said with his head held high.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, as long as my son-in-law and his musketeers are here, no one can hurt Mr. Li Wei."
"Okay, okay, you are ambitious. I am very optimistic about you, um... I am also very optimistic about the firearms camp under your command."
The second half of the sentence seemed quite perfunctory. Cheng Chubi could only secretly resent his father-in-law's perfunctory behavior, but he could do nothing about it.
You can't grab your father-in-law by the lapels of his clothes, hold him at gunpoint and ask him if he surrenders, right?
That's all, since I want to follow Li Junshen, let this Tang Dynasty Military God know how powerful the musketeers are. Through the judgment of this Datang Military God, and then promote this musket to the Tang Dynasty military, it will be more convincing.
force.
As the saying goes, it is better to do more than talk, so today I will personally go into battle to let you know the power of firearms.
#####
The important matter was decided, the military situation was urgent, and no delay was allowed. Soon, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally commanded the army and left the camp.
This camp was naturally left to the troops commanded by Li Jing to lure the enemy, and at this moment, Li Jing did not stay in the camp.
Instead, he galloped out of the camp and began to wander around in a large circle according to the map in his hand. He would eventually evacuate the defensive position behind the camp.
It was determined to be an abandoned small town about thirty miles southeast of Daying. It is not known when this small town was built or when it was abandoned.
In short, the small city that appeared in front of Li Jing and his party had collapsed out of shape. The only relatively complete part may be the collapsed part of the city wall that was more than ten feet long, but the city wall was completely made of earth.
The thickness is less than a foot.
As for the fact that there are almost no complete buildings in the city, it is enough to prove how old and small this place is.
Cheng Chubi sucked in air as if he had toothache, and turned to look at Li Jing, who looked satisfied and nodded frequently.
"I said uncle, do we really want to choose this place? Actually, nephew, I think the valley before is quite good. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
Su Dingfang on the side also nodded his head, looking at this dilapidated small town with a very painful expression. Due to the warmer weather, weeds have grown again in the city, making it look more and more disgusting.
