In the past, there were about 200,000 people in Gaochang State. Because Gaochang City is located on the Silk Road, there are 60,700 or 70,000 people gathered in Gaochang City alone. It can be called a pearl on the Silk Road.
At this moment, Gaochang City had gone through several battles and most of its walls were damaged. Although the corpses under the walls had been moved and buried, the smell of blood was still strong.
It can be seen that these siege battles were quite fierce.
Li Ke rode a sweaty horse into the city. The city was full of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty. As for the people of Gaochang, they were probably gone.
When Li Jing heard that Li Ke was coming, he put aside his official duties and came to greet him personally.
"I have met His Highness the King of Qin."
Li Ke dismounted, raised his hands and saluted, saying: "It's been half a year since we last saw each other. My father-in-law is well."
"Your Highness, please..."
The two of them were walking one behind the other. Li Jing said, "Is everything okay over there in Chang'an?"
"My mother-in-law and Wan'er are fine. My father-in-law doesn't have to worry about me, but my son-in-law has some good news to tell you."
Li Jing's eyes lit up. All he had heard during this period was bad news. He felt numb all over, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me!"
"I saw the bearded man!"
Li Jing's face was full of smiles. This was really good news. He had been searching for many years and still couldn't find his eldest brother. He didn't expect that his son-in-law would find him.
The couple considered their eldest brother to be dead. Back then, people said that his eldest brother had gone to sea and then disappeared. No news about him was ever heard again.
"Where is my eldest brother? Is he in Chang'an?"
"Not in Chang'an, I guess he has arrived in the Western Regions. When the time comes in a few days, you will naturally meet."
"Oh, that's it!" Li Jing thought thoughtfully, and would meet when the time comes. It seems that the eldest brother has become his son-in-law.
The two of them talked about family matters and arrived at a government office near the Gaochang Palace. Naturally, Li Jing and others did not dare to do business in the palace. Even if it was an enemy's palace, they and their ministers could not live there.
Not even Li Ke, this is a taboo.
In that palace, only His Majesty can live in it, or it can only be done with His Majesty's will.
The Yamen has been changed to the Longyou Marching Army General Manager's Office, and at this moment Li Ke is the Longyou Marching Army General Manager, and he, Li Jing, has become his son-in-law's deputy.
"I have learned something about the situation here from Si She. Does my father-in-law have any way to defeat the enemy?" After Li Ke sat down, he asked Li Jing.
Li Jing shook his head helplessly. If he had a way to defeat the enemy, he would have attacked long ago. Why wait for His Highness to come down.
He, Li Jing, fought countless wars throughout his life and never lost. He could always find the enemy's weaknesses and defeat them.
But this time, it's different.
The other party was superior to the Tang army in terms of military supplies, quality of soldiers, and behind-the-scenes planners. Especially since the other party had masters and carried out beheading operations on the top officials of the Tang Dynasty, this made him very distressed.
According to the information obtained from King Qin’s intelligence network, the enemy is very powerful. There are even three heavy armored cavalry and light cavalry composed of experts. Fighting in the open desert, the Tang army is no match at all and can only take human lives. fill.
But this is not a problem. Even if people's lives are taken to fill it, they may not be able to win.
Once defeated, he will end up like Qin Qiong.
The Tang Dynasty's plan to plan the Western Regions will come to nothing and return to the past.
"Father-in-law, I have moved the workshop that makes Thunderbolts to Liangzhou. At the same time, I have transported a large number of kerosene bombs. They will arrive here in about a month."
"At the same time, I have established an arsenal in Shazhou. People from the Ministry of Industry are working with Mohist masters to build powerful bed crossbows and repeating crossbows."
"In the near future, there may be even bigger surprises. The cannon that my son-in-law once said may be born."
Li Jing's eyes widened. As expected of the King of Qin, he had made such a big move. For this battle, he even moved the arsenal to the Western Regions.
Your Majesty's heart is big enough. Are you really not afraid of rebellion like this little brat?
"Your Highness, if there are enough earthquake thunder and kerosene bombs, hahaha... we will use tens of thousands of catapults to directly wash the opponent's ground..."
Thinking about that scene, Li Jing found it enjoyable.
Li Ke was very angry when he thought of Qin Qiong, who was still alive and dead, and the 20,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the shadowy Yin Hu and more than 30 brothers.
Although wars are fought with money, I will use money to kill you bastards.
What happened to the master?
Masters are also made of flesh and blood. I just don’t believe it. The sky-shaking thunder can’t kill you, and the artillery can’t blast you away. If it doesn’t work, I will attack with fire. The sky will be full of fire oil. Let’s see if you die?
I will spare ten years of taxes from the Tang Dynasty to punish you to death!
"General..."
"General... my subordinates have met the young master!"
The person who came was Yan Yunliu. He had just returned from the front line and informed Li Jing of the situation on the front line. Unexpectedly, the young master had already arrived.
The moment Yan Yunliu saw Li Ke, his tense heart finally fell into his chest. Somehow, as long as the young master is by their side, they will feel safe and they can firmly believe that the enemy is not far away from destruction. .
He, the sixth child, is too far behind the young master.
"Lao Liu, hurry up and tell us about the situation on the front line."
Yan Yunliu calmed down his excitement and said: "Young Master, General, the Youth Battalion and the Western Region Allied Forces have been in a stalemate for about ten days. This morning, they suddenly sent an envoy, saying that there have been dueling generals in the Central Plains since ancient times. Since both sides They have been fighting for more than ten days, and they want to fight with us."
"No, fighting in front of the battle is nonsense."
Li Jing immediately dismissed the fighting generals in front of the battle. They were all tricks played by children. In a war between the two countries, either you die or I die. With an order, the only option is to charge.
He, Li Jing, never does such meaningless things when fighting.
If you have a master on your side, it is not impossible. At the very least, if you kill the opponent's generals, the opponent's morale will plummet. At that time, you may be able to win with a charge.
But now that someone else has a master, and he still fights with generals, isn't this asking for trouble?
Fighter?
Li Ke watched movies and TV shows in his previous life, and he often saw scenes like this.
He obtained a batch of weapons, which was just enough to stimulate the opponent's masters and the mysterious power behind them to see how they would react.
These weapons have been strengthened by the system, and they will definitely not be too bad in this world.
If the generals of the Tang Dynasty fought with such weapons, I wonder how their opponents would feel. Would they suspect that the hidden families in the Central Plains had already supported the Tang Dynasty?
It might be possible to divert trouble to the east.
Make them suspicious of each other.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law has recently acquired some magical weapons. Today is a good time to teach the enemy a lesson, kill some masters, and earn some interest."
"After I have enough thunder and fire bombs, I will settle the accounts with them."
"Your Highness, please think twice. The opponent has experts. Even the experts around you can only fight in a draw."
"No, I want to use soldiers from the youth camp."
Li Jing's mouth twitched, Your Highness, this is...
"Lao Liu, prepare your horses. I will personally meet these experts and see how high they are."
"yes……"
Li Jing was anxious. Why did His Highness go to the front line in person? It was too dangerous.
Once the opponent knows that His Highness is here, he will not risk his life. Once His Highness is captured or killed, Datang will not have to fight.
"Father-in-law, there is no need to say anything. Haha, here, I am the commander-in-chief of Longyou March. You are the deputy general. You must listen to my orders."
Li Jing: "..."
Why is this kid so stubborn?
"Quickly, prepare your horses. This general will follow His Highness." Seeing that Li Ke had walked out of the gate, Li Jing hurriedly ordered the people around him.
When Li Ke came outside, he asked the Mo family to put on military uniforms and disguise themselves as Tang soldiers. Li Bingdao followed Li Ke closely with two hundred people.
