On this trip to the north to support, Li Yin also understood that Li Shimin would inevitably know about the musket. Before Xue Rengui left, Li Yin also set up an argument with him. The weapon Anguo obtained is called a musket, which is actually a smaller version of a cannon..."
Nodding his head, Li Shimin said, "Let me see it!" He was amazed by the power of this weapon. Just now on the city wall, he saw a soldier carrying this kind of thing to kill a fleeing man a hundred meters away. Turkic soldiers shot and killed.
Xue Rengui heard the words and asked a soldier beside him to hand over the gun to Li Shimin.
After receiving the heavy rifle, Li Shimin carefully looked at this weapon made of metal and wood. He did not expect this thing to be so much more powerful than a bow and arrow. However, as Xue Rengui said, this weapon is indeed a miniature version of a cannon. Li Shimin thought to himself, no wonder this weapon is so powerful.
"How to use it?" Li Shimin picked up the gun and pointed it at Xue Rengui inadvertently, which scared Xue Rengui into a cold sweat. He immediately stood beside Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, you can't point this at other people casually, otherwise it will be easy. Killed."
"Oh, why?" Li Shimin was puzzled. While Li Shimin was having a great time playing, a soldier escorted two people and came over. Seeing these two people, Li Shimin immediately lost interest in the rifle, and said angrily, "Jieli Khan, we are We meet!"
"Hmph, kill if you want. How can there be so much nonsense. But I don't want to lose for no reason. I want to know what that thing is?" Xieli said.
Xue Rengui answered this question for Li Shimin, "This is our new weapon in Yizhou, one is a musket, and the other is a more powerful artillery." After all, Xue Rengui shot the ground. Break a stone to pieces.
"No wonder, no wonder, hahaha...I didn't expect to lose to this kind of thing." Xieli said frantically.
Li Shimin looked cold. "Jieli, I have treated you well. But you still have trouble with me and the Tang Dynasty. Now I will not give you another chance to stand up. I will kill you in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to comfort the heroic souls of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty." .” Li Shimin wished he could kill Jieli right here. But I still endured it. He looked at the trembling middle-aged scribe on the right side of Jie Li and asked, "Who are you?"
"He is the military adviser who advised Xieli, and he planned the plan to attack Lingzhou. It was his idea to besiege Huaiyuan City and persuade him to surrender." The captain who escorted this military division of Xu has obviously been interrogated.
Li Shimin sneered, "I said why the Turkic people became so smart. It turns out that there are shameless people like you who work for Jieli, and people like you who eat the food of the Tang Dynasty and drink the water of the Tang Dynasty run away. To work for a foreign race, it is a disgrace to the Tang Dynasty for a person like you to live." After finishing speaking, Li Shimin drew his knife and stabbed Junshi Xu in the chest, not even giving him a chance to beg for mercy.
Killing the Xu army division, Li Shimin's anger eased a little, and then he asked Cheng Huailiang to take Jieli from the Yizhou soldiers and prepare to take him to Chang'an.
With the help of the Yizhou army, Li Ji and Cheng Yaojin also successfully defeated Zhisili. In the melee, Zhisili was hit by a stray bullet and died. The old Turks also turned into birds and beasts. In this battle, Turks never Now is the chance to stand up. In the remaining few days, Xue Rengui accompanied Li Shimin's army to help Xiazhou. With Li Jing as a veteran here, Xue Yantuo did not have a slight advantage. After Li Shimin led the reinforcements to arrive, the two troops were sandwiched back and forth. Xue Yantuo was defeated and fled.
Through this incident, Li Shimin was determined not to tolerate the northern grasslands any more, and nodded emphatically. He asked Li Jing and Li Ji to lead a group of troops to the royal court of Xue Yantuo and the royal court of Western Turks respectively.
"Your Majesty, our mission is over. According to His Highness's instructions, we should return to Yizhou to rest." After Li Jing and Li Ji left, Xue Rengui said to Li Shimin that three days had passed since leaving Yizhou and finally defeating Xue Yantuo. For a month, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army were exhausted.
Li Shimin looked at the tired Yizhou soldiers, and said to Xue Rengui: "Your Yizhou army has contributed a lot to successfully defeating the Turks and Xue Yantuo. Since this is the order of the King of Shu, I will not make things difficult for you. When I return to Chang'an, I will go back Let the king of Shu reward you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xue Rengui said. In fact, it is useless for them to stay here at this time, because their bullets and ammunition have basically been consumed.
With Li Shimin's approval, Xue Rengui felt relieved and asked the soldiers to gather and return to Yizhou.
At this time, the war was basically over, and Li Shimin also planned to return to Chang'an. He received a letter from Empress Changsun. When he was trapped in Huaiyuan City, he did not expect that King Wei was assassinated in Chang'an. This made him happy because of the victory. His mood was suddenly clouded.
The news of the victory in the north quickly spread to Yizhou through the shadow guards in Chang'an, and Li Min's hanging heart was relieved. Although this was a huge crisis facing Datang, through this battle, Datang basically wiped out Surroundings can threaten their own forces, thus truly entering a period of peaceful development, and no longer need to sleep on the ground every night to worry about the invasion of the north. Li Yin thought that Li Shimin might be able to sleep peacefully at this time.
Soon, the news of the Great Tang army's victory spread in Chang'an through the Shengtang Business Daily. Yizhou and Li Yin also published the news to let the people know what happened during this period. Min's real intention was to let other people see one item in the report, that is, with the help of the Yizhou Army, the Turks and Xue Yantuo were defeated. This information is enough to remind some people in Chang'an.
And just as Li Yin thought, after seeing the news of the victory of the Tang Dynasty in the newspaper, several families in Chang'an City were worried. It is said that this manuscript published in Shengtang Commercial Daily was written by Li Shimin himself, and this report In the book, Li Shimin praised Li Yin greatly, and at the same time described the strength of the Yizhou Army, which somewhat deterred some people.
In the East Palace of Prince Chang'an, Li Chengqian angrily tore the newspaper to shreds. Li Shimin defeated the Turks and escaped from Huaiyuan City. He came out and rescued Li Shimin, "It's Li Yin again, why is he everywhere?" Li Chengqian said bitterly.
"It's a pity, Your Highness missed another good opportunity to ascend to the throne!" Du He said with regret. When Li Shimin was trapped in Huaiyuan City, he fantasized that Li Chengqian could become emperor, and he was just like his father back then. The same power leans towards the opposition.
Li Chengqian sat down on the chair when he heard the words. If Li Shimin is really dead, then even Empress Changsun can't stop him from ascending the throne. My favor has finished making the dragon robe, then I am completely finished."
Du He said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already dealt with this matter, but what is your Highness going to do next, should we just let it go?"
"Hmph, how could I give up? Ever since the day my father put Ashinalan in the cold palace, there was no father-son relationship between us. Since Jieli can't get rid of him, I might as well learn from him." Learn from his trick of forcing the imperial grandfather to abdicate." Li Chengqian said with narrowed eyes. )
