Datang Library

Chapter 810 Southwest Military News
Li Er scolded his head and covered his face, although he was talking about the commander-in-chief Li Ji, but Li Ji was thousands of miles away, and there was only Du Ruhui here, so Du Ruhui became the one being scolded.

After receiving the letter and reading it again, Du Ruhui realized that it turned out that Tubo had inlaid a nail into Datang. No wonder the emperor was angry. He had declared in the court that Tubo would be destroyed within three months. Neither drove the enemy out.

"Come here, pass on my will, order Li Ji's army to conquer Tubo all the way, and if there is any obstacle, blast the sky and thunder to clear the way.

There are only tens of thousands of Thunderbolts in Tubo, and my Tang Dynasty has a steady stream of them. Could it be that they can use Thunderbolts to defend the city, and we can't use Thunderbolts to blow up the entire city? "

"No way, Your Majesty, please think twice!" Du Ruhui stepped forward to persuade.

"Keming doesn't need to say more. I know that the casualties in the storm are too great. It will not be easy for us in the Tang Dynasty to raise some soldiers. Therefore, I allow them to destroy the city and open the way. It is expected that there will not be many casualties in a small border city with few people."

Li Er's words seemed very heartless, talking about the life and death of soldiers and common people seemed to be very casual. In his eyes, as a general in all battles, as long as the war can be won, a little sacrifice is the cost of the war.

"No, Your Majesty can't, I support Marshal Li Ji's method of staying put.

Tens of thousands of Thunderbolts defending the city in Tubo's hands can cause at least [-] casualties to Datang, and the casualties are too large to be desirable.

But if Your Majesty bombards the city directly without worrying about the lives of the people in the city, then not only [-] people will be killed or injured. After all, the city of Xizhou is the city of our Tang Dynasty, and the people of our Tang Dynasty are inside.

If it is rumored that His Majesty does not care about the life and death of the people for the sake of military achievements, I am afraid that the popular support we have lost cannot be bought with the lives of [-] soldiers. "

Li Er opened his mouth and didn't speak for a while.

"Hey, no matter what, a palace meeting is called in the political hall.

Inform Jian Zhi by telegram that the military situation is urgent and ask him to return to Beijing to discuss matters. "

On the other side, Bai Fan looked at the urgent military report sent by Du Ruhui, saying that the Southwest War had suffered a setback, and His Majesty told him to return to the palace for a meeting.

"Hmph, how dare you use such a simple trick? Your Majesty is really boring, and you still want to deceive me to go back and throw yourself into the trap? How is it possible? Poppies are absolutely unusable. The Opium War is the most inhumane thing. This kind of thing will last forever , should not appear in Datang, because Datang has the confidence to crush all opponents with real strength.

The same is true for this old Du, who has personally seen a drug-addicted prime minister, and still works so hard to be an accomplice to His Majesty? "

So Bai Fan, who didn't believe it at all, directly replied a telegram to mock Lao Du and Emperor Li Er, saying not to use such childish tricks, even my four-year-old son would not be fooled.

After reading it, Lao Du covered his face, why did this cause an oolong?

After explaining it again, Bai Fan still didn't believe it. After doing this three times, Bai Fan had only one sentence at the end, that he would not die unless the sky fell.

Li Er in the Palace of Political Affairs announced the matter, looked around, everything that should arrive, even the veteran Li Jing who was at home was invited to participate in the military plan.

"How long will it take for Jane to arrive?"

"This, this, I'm afraid Jian Jian won't come, he..."

"Oh? Did he dare to disobey orders? Or did he really just become a civil servant and ignore the military?" Li Erfa asked.

Du Ruhui handed over a few notes, "Neither, he misunderstood, this is a telegram..."

Li Er immediately got dizzy when he saw it. This guy really shouldn't be caught, and he lost the chain at a critical moment.

"Forget it. After all, this telegram is no better than sending a message from a real person. Let's talk about him later."

Li Jing asked: "Your Majesty, what is a telegram?"

Du Ruhui quickly introduced the telegraph, and all the ministers in the hall were curious and wanted to try this magical sound transmission for thousands of miles.

"This thing is miraculous. If you have this thing in the army, then there is no need to rush. Even Your Majesty can sit in the palace and directly command the battlefield." Li Jing praised.

Old Li Jing, who had made up his mind to retire a long time ago, saw this treasure, and even regretted that he retired early. If he had had this thing earlier, maybe his record would have been even more brilliant.

The speaker had no intention of hearing but the listener was interested. Emperor Li Er had an idea, yes, if it is really possible to command a battle thousands of miles away, it must be a major event that can be recorded in history, um, you can try it.

The southwest military was put on hold for the time being, and the discussion in the political hall was divided into two factions. One faction advocated confrontation and less sacrifice, and the other faction advocated that while the hatred of the southwest people towards Tubo had not dissipated, they should sweep and pursue them in one go.

So Li Er didn't think about it for the time being, and then he brought Du Ruhui to Zhongnan Academy.

When Bai Fan saw the two righteous masters chasing him home, he found out after asking that he had misunderstood and the war was real.

"I didn't come here today for poppies, nor for telegrams, but purely for the Southwest War.

Thunderbolt is your invention, but now it is held in the hands of the enemy to constrain us, it is really aggrieved.

Do you, the creator, have any way to deal with Thunderbolt? "Li Er said sincerely.

Bai Fan shook his head, thinking in his heart, he would be a ghost if he believed in you, a small city like this is not worth your trip.

"No, Hong Tianlei's design was considered to be absolutely confidential, it would not be leaked, and no countermeasures were added.

However, this kind of universal individual weapon pursues convenience and practicality, and anyone can use it, so it is impossible to design countermeasures. "

"Then, do you have a way to destroy the city guarded by Hong Tianlei? Or, do you have any magical weapons that are superior to Hong Tianlei? As long as it can reduce the damage of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, anything will do." Li Two urged.

Bai Fan smiled and said, "No.

Your Majesty, don't you see it?

Back then, Thunderbolt was an absolute magic weapon in our hands to frighten all directions and unstoppable.

Our secrecy measures are also very appropriate, but in the end it will inevitably fall into the enemy's hands and be used by the enemy. What does this mean?

If I come up with a way to destroy the city today, someone will surely follow suit in the future. What if others are used by the enemies of the Tang Dynasty to deal with the city of the Tang Dynasty?The surprise attack on Jiannan Road this time is an example.

I also have a magic weapon that surpasses the Thunderbolt, but a Thunderbolt has brought us such trouble, wouldn't more powerful weapons not?
Luckily, this Tubo Li Xinzhong just defended the city with Thunderbolt, what if he sent a bastard to Chang'an to bomb the palace?Has Your Majesty ever thought about it? "

This... hiss...

Li Er and Du Ruhui gasped together, yes, this thing is not a bow and crossbow, if an undercover agent makes one explode by their side, I'm afraid they won't die or be crippled.

"This, this, this, in short, what should we do? Your Majesty's safety." Old Du said anxiously.

"Hehe, this can only be strictly guarded against.

Now that both the enemy and us have Thunderbolts, and the starting line of the war has been evened out, then we have to rely on military strategies to face the enemy head-on. Our soldiers in the Tang Dynasty still have blood, and we cannot rely on foreign objects like Thunderbolts for all wars. "

"Okay, what Jian Zhi said is right, it coincides with me, so I will write a letter to Lord Mao, trying my best to pacify Tubo in the southwest." Li Er said with a big smile.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Hehe, now, should we talk about poppies?" Li Er stared at Bai Fan with a smile on his face and asked. That expression was full of the expression of a fox staring at delicious food, which made Bai Fan and Du Ruhui feel A chill.

Bai Fan: "..."
