Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 585
The manufacture of three-eyed guns is not difficult, but the difficulty is the preparation of gunpowder.

Therefore, asking the blacksmiths in the city to build a thousand three-eyed guns within two days, Li Qinzai did not embarrass the governor of Shanzhou, but after careful calculation, he believed that the governor would definitely be able to do it.

Of course, Li Qinzai would not mind killing the governor if he was slow to slow down and slow down his work. It happened that the army was resting and needed to boost the morale of the army. Arranging a sacrifice for the governor was full of ritual, and the soldiers of the three armies must be very moved.

As for the preparation of gunpowder, Li Qinzai ordered Sun Congdong and Song Jintu to collect raw materials from inside and outside the city.

Sun Congdong's imperial army went through several battles, large and small, and the gunpowder was consumed a lot, so it should be replenished. The amount of gunpowder needed for [-] three-eyed guns is much more difficult than making three-eyed guns.

During the two days of rest in Shanzhou, everyone was not idle.

Li Qinzai was busy preparing gunpowder, the governor was busy making three-eyed guns, and more than 1000 people were selected from Song Jintu's [-] soldiers to train the gun team to shoot every day and form a three-stage formation.Once the new three-eyed gun is made, it is immediately ready to go to the battlefield.

The governor's mansion in Shanzhou has been occupied by Li Qinzaijiu, and it has been temporarily requisitioned as a handsome tent.

In times of war, soldiers are given priority, there is no discussion, and dissatisfaction is held back.

In the front hall of the Governor's Mansion, Sun Congdong, Song Jintu and others sat sideways, listening respectfully to Li Qinzai's tactics.

The guerrilla attacks in Tuyuhun these days made Sun Congdong and Song Jintu admire Li Qinzai greatly.

Unexpectedly, this notorious dude in Chang'an City could use tactics so cleverly. His guerrilla tactics really opened the eyes of the two generals.

Not only did it greatly damage the strength of the Tubo army, but it also knew how to judge the situation. When the troops were superior, they attacked decisively, and when the troops were few, they immediately retreated. At the same time, its own losses are very small.

As expected of being a general's son, no matter how dandy his reputation is, when he is on the battlefield, his family's genes seem to be awakened.

In the past, Sun Congdong and Song Jintu thought that Li Qinzai's achievement in destroying the Japanese kingdom was a bit of luck, but now it seems that this is a real skill, and there is no water in it.

"General Su Dingfang's soldiers and horses will not arrive in about ten days. Pei Xingjian, the governor of Anxi Governor's Mansion, has sent a scout to reply. Today, he has led [-] Anxi soldiers to the east. They will cooperate with me and other things to attack the Tubo army. Tuyuhun rushed from the north to the south."

"According to the strategy, once Tubo is driven to the south of Tuyuhun, we will join forces with the Anxi army and Su Dingfang's army, and then drive straight in. If we can confront the Tubo army head-on, then it will be easy to drive Tubo out of Tuyuhun."

Li Qinzai slowly revealed his strategic intentions to everyone.

"We are now in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which is east of Tuyuhun. Pei Xingjian's Anxi Army bypassed the Kunlun Mountains and marched from the west. I have agreed with him that the target is Qinghai Lake. Starting tomorrow, the army will set off in the same direction. Attack and harass guerrillas as the mainstay, avoid when encountering strength, attack when encountering weakness."

"After joining forces with Pei Xingjian, the next goal is to eliminate the Tubo army in the central part of Tuyuhun and around Dafeichuan. But before the three armies join forces, we must try our best to protect ourselves and at the same time kill more Tubo troops and damage their strength."

Sun Congdong said with a smile: "Uncle Li is in charge of our brothers. The general will only have to risk his life during the war. The general admires Uncle Li's skills."

Liu Asi, who was standing by the side, also laughed and said: "I don't know that Wu Shaolang has such abilities. The past few days can be regarded as an eye-opener for the villain. When we come back with a big victory, the old man will not know how to be happy." , we have successors in the British government."

Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes, and smiled ripplingly: "When we return to Chang'an after a big victory, I'll invite you to visit the most expensive brothel, arrange ten girls for each, ten! Squeeze out all your bile."

Sun Congdong was overjoyed: "How refreshing it is for the last general to wait for the day when he will die!"

Everyone laughed, Li Qinzai glanced at Song Jintu inadvertently, but saw that he didn't say a word, and he didn't care about such an attractive reward for visiting brothels.

Li Qinzai's laughter faltered, the leader made a joke, but you didn't laugh, it's a bit of a social cancer...

"Cough, Song Duwei is taciturn, and looks very steady." Li Qinzai smiled, then pointed at Sun Congdong and Liu Asi, and said, "You all learn from Song Duwei to see how serious he is, how can he be like you? If you talk about women, your eyes will glow green, you're useless!"

Sun Congdong glanced at Song Jintu, and smiled faintly: "Captain Song was originally from Zuo Wuwei, and the last general is from Youwei. We were both in Chang'an City back then, so we had no chance to meet each other."

"But Captain Song really looks like an upright gentleman. It's impolite for us to talk about brothels, girls, and so on. Uncle Li, after you return to Chang'an, you won't be called Captain Song when you go to brothels. It's ruining his reputation."

Song Jintu finally couldn't help but said: "No, please call me."

Crowd: ? ? ?
Sun Congdong was stunned for a while, then said in surprise, "You actually started talking..."

Song Jintu glanced at him lightly, and said, "I just don't like to talk, it's not that I can't talk, and you can think of me as a mute, but you can't help treating me as a man."

As Song Jintu said, he emphasized his tone: "Go to brothels, I can do it!"

Li Qinzai was also in a daze for a while, smacked his lips, and sighed: "Here comes another man with a unique skill, what the hell, why is there no normal person under my command?"

…………

Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace.

Li Yifu bowed and stood in front of Empress Wu with a happy face, and Empress Wu sat in the hall with a curtain hanging down, listening to Li Yifu's wild words with a blank face.

"Queen, Li Qinzai has given us the handle himself. I heard that Li Qinzai acted arbitrarily in Tuyuhun. He not only intercepted and killed the Tubo mission, but more seriously, Li Qinzai mobilized troops from six states under Zheng Rentai without imperial decree, and disregarded military discipline. The national law ordered the soldiers to plunder the Tuyuhun tribe..."

Li Yifu said happily: "Li Qinzai's actions in Tuyuhun have left too many clues, just grabbing them will be a lot, I wish to write a memorial immediately, and tomorrow the court will lead Yushitai to impeach Li Qinzai, this time it will be difficult for Li Qinzai to stand up. "

"If the empress is not satisfied, I can make a fuss and direct this fire to the Duke of England. If the empress wants to gain power in the court, this is an excellent opportunity..."

Li Yifu was eloquent, but Empress Wu's expression became more and more indifferent.

After a long time, after the curtain was drawn down, Empress Wu said in a cold tone, "Mr. Li, has my palace asked you to participate in the impeachment of Li Qinzai?"

Li Yifu froze, looking at the cold bead curtain in astonishment.

Empress Wu said indifferently: "Do you know what Li Qinzai did in Tuyuhun for and for whom?"

Li Yifu immediately blushed, he realized that today's flattery seemed to be in the wrong place.

"Uh, minister, minister... a slip of the tongue."
