Li Erduan was sitting in the study, holding a volume in his hands, reading, and talking to the ministers standing beside him from time to time.
The ministers were none other than Du Ruhui and Li Jing.
These two people were Li Er's confidants and the core staff in Li Er's military decision-making.
The book in hand is exactly a map of the world, but unfortunately it is not complete.
After talking for a while, Li Er suddenly sighed.
"well……"
"If it hadn't been for my son's fault this time, I don't know how long it would have taken for the army to regain its power..."
Li Jing smiled, and Du Ruhui also sighed, "God bless me in the Tang Dynasty..."
"I don't know if this grenade will be effective. After all, it is not in a battle formation and its power is unpredictable..."
Unpredictable power generally means that the power of a certain weapon or tactical strategy is so great that it is difficult to estimate.
But on the other hand, it can also be understood that the power is unknown, it may be very useful, or it may be useless.
Li Er himself has been leading troops here for many years, so he understands Du Ruhui's words very well.
If you haven't really won the battle, then no matter how many military books you have read, no matter how good you are, you are still just Zhao Kuo.
Correspondingly, the same goes for weapons!
But Li Er smiled and continued, "But Sheng'er said that with these two weapons, grenades and landmines, the Turks will definitely not be able to get away with it."
"Your Majesty, landmines have been deployed in northern Xinjiang. There are dangers everywhere. No matter how powerful the Turks are, our northern Xinjiang is absolutely safe. Your Majesty, please rest assured..."
Li Jing felt that everyone was a little too nervous. Although as the leader of the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible not to be nervous with this person on his back, but Li Jing felt that this matter could still comfort everyone.
As he said, His Highness presented the mine map not long ago, and the Ministry of Works quickly built many mines based on the map.
These mines were quickly transported to the border fortress—almost at any cost.
And there is a reason for this rapidity.
The effect of landmines was naturally tested at the beginning of production. Li Jing was naturally deeply impressed by the huge power of this weapon, and wrote a complete policy statement as a memorial to Li Er, requesting that it be quickly deployed in northern Xinjiang.
deploy.
Calculating the time, the burial should have been completed a few days ago.
Of course, this cannot cover the vast majority of fortified areas, but if these invisible and powerful ambushes are set up at some dangerous passes according to the terrain, there will be no problems.
Therefore, Li Jingcai believes that the Turkic problem is actually no longer a problem.
Of course, to be precise, the issue of Turks invading the country is no longer a problem.
However, regarding the historical issue of Turkic invasions in the past, this is an issue worth pondering slowly and carefully...
But just as Li Jing finished speaking, Li Er and Du Ruhui's expressions brightened a little and their moods became optimistic...
"What the pharmacist said is true, I am very relieved! Hahahaha..."
"Report!"
Suddenly, a hurried call sounded from outside the Manlu Hall.
Li Er, Du Ruhui and Li Jing all frowned.
This is not the voice of a chamberlain. This voice is rich and powerful, full of energy and a little hoarse...
This is a voice that only soldiers have!
And it's probably not an ordinary soldier...
The three monarchs and ministers immediately looked out together, their expressions serious.
After a while...
The chamberlain led... no, to be precise, he followed at a trot. A soldier stumbled in. As soon as he arrived in front of Li Er, he immediately knelt down on one knee and presented a letter.
Li Er took a breath and immediately looked at each other with Du Ruhui and Li Jing.
All three of them noticed that this soldier was covered in dirt and dirt, obviously from hard work.
However, just as Li Er opened the letter and looked at it, Li Jing discovered some ominous details.
The armor on this man's body is an old-style mysterious armor that has not been reforged, and the inner robes are very familiar.
There is no doubt that this person is a border soldier.
An urgent military report was sent...
Seeing that this man was not covered in blood, Li Jing instinctively felt something was wrong.
This kind of intuition as a general is different from that of ordinary people. If there are blood stains on the clothes, it may be that he rushed out under the cover of the clothes after a battle in an emergency.
But now there is no blood stain, which means that this soldier came back without a fight, or at least without participating in the fight.
If it were normal times, this might be nothing, but at this time recently...
It is very possible that the Turks are pressing down on the territory with their troops.
Moreover, it is the kind of soldiers that the defender knows at a glance are impossible to defeat. It can even be guessed that when he saw the opponent from a distance, the defender directly sent the messenger back to report the news...
Li Jing took a breath of air.
Something big is going to happen...
This series of analysis came to him in just a moment of intuition, and at the same time...
Du Ruhui on the other side was also pale, and he had obviously thought about it.
The two looked at each other with horror on their faces...
If the border of the Tang Dynasty were suddenly lost, then the Tang Dynasty would probably have to fight the Turks again under Chang'an City...
But right now.
A smile suddenly appeared on Li Er's face, followed by laughter!
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Everyone, what a great victory! What a great victory! Hahahahahaha!"
Li Er smiled extremely happily,
The next moment, Li Jing and Du Ruhui were stunned for a moment.
I wipe...
Great victory?
Aren't the Turks pressing down on the country with their troops?
Why is it such a great victory?
Wait, with the recent military reform, the main force of the Forbidden Army is still around Chang'an. There are only two to three thousand troops there...
The Turks have hundreds of thousands of troops, and recently the leader of the Turks, Jieli Khan, has been making contacts everywhere to form alliances...
If there were not a million troops in total, how could these two or three thousand men achieve a great victory and take the lead?
Du Ruhui, Li Jing, and Li Er were suspicious for a moment, and then they couldn't bear it any longer. They ignored Li Er's reading of the newspaper and said directly, "Your Majesty, what's going on at the border?"
Li Jing couldn't help it anymore, "Your Majesty, we can't... we can't follow the example of Kong Ming and retreat by playing the piano. Besides, we don't have such talents in the army..."
The two of them looked in disbelief, and their eyes were questioning, as if they were asking Li Er if there was an error in the letter.
But Li Er burst out laughing.
"Are you kidding me?"
"The Turks led thousands of troops to the northern frontier suddenly, and the result... hahahaha, you will never imagine what happened."
"Three landmines were exploded, but the Turks didn't say anything, but jumped off their horses and knelt down one by one, calling themselves gods, hahahahahaha!"
Li Er almost died laughing.
Why are these Turks so funny?
Why do they worship Landmine as a god? These people will not ask Landmine to bless them and cure their infertility...
Ha ha ha ha!
Li Er almost wanted to have some drinks to celebrate, but then he looked at the soldier who was looking down.
"You've done a great job, and you're worthy of wearing black armor. If someone comes, I'll reward you with a hundred gold!"
