The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 427 Martial Law in Liaodong City

Pu Bucheng never dreamed that Qin Huaidao would shoot him in the back.For a while, he was a little flustered, swinging the big knife in his hand left and right.

It's a pity that the distance between the two is too close, and the shooting power of the Zhuge crossbow is very strong.So even if Pu Bucheng waved left and right, he couldn't escape the end of being hit by the arrow in the end.

However, Pu Cheng's unresponsive reaction was considered timely, avoiding all the vital points of his body.So it was just some skin trauma.

Even so, he did not dare to fight Qin Huaidao again.Otherwise, it would really be no different from sending one to death.

He could only yell to withdraw his troops and return to the camp, and fled in a panic.What followed was Tang Jun's ridicule.

……

"The barbarians of the Tang Dynasty were really despicable and vulgar. They didn't dare to fight this general in an upright manner. They actually shot an arrow at this general secretly." Pu Bucheng kept cursing while the military doctor took off the crossbow arrows from his body.

"General, don't get angry, this Tang dynasty barbarian is like that. So the general thinks it's better for us to stick to the city, so as not to be tricked by them again." A lieutenant general said to Pu Bucheng.

"The supply of food and supplies for their long-distance war is naturally insufficient. And the food and supplies in my Liaodong City, even if it lasts for a year or so, will be fine. It is suitable for the general to fight a war of attrition with them." Pu Bucheng nodded and said.

Then he ordered the generals under his command to guard the city tightly and not to go out of the city easily to fight the enemy generals.Violators will be punished by military law.

For a moment, people's heads shook on the walls of Liaodong City, guarding the entire city like an iron bucket.Even the people in the city began to help transport the rolling wood and thunder stones to the city.

And all of this is in the eyes of Yuchi Baolin and Princess Tulu.I only heard Yuchi Baolin whispering to Princess Tulu: "I didn't expect that the Goguryeo people would be united by the army and the people."

"It seems that it may not be an easy task to secretly open the city gate. Let's go back to the residence to study and study first." Princess Tulu said to Yuchi Baolin.

Then the two returned to their temporary residence, which was an inn in Liaodong City.It's just that the shopkeeper of this inn is different.

The shopkeeper of this inn was actually arranged by Li Chengqian in advance.Normally, if you don't show the mountains and don't show the water, it will naturally not arouse the suspicion of others.

Now that Goguryeo and Datang are officially at war, this inn has become an information transmission center.Since Yuchi Baolin entered Liaodong City, she naturally wanted to settle here.

Just as the husband and wife returned to the room, the waiter opened the door and walked in.And said to Yuchi Baolin in a low voice: "The people in the general's mansion spread the news that he was shot and wounded by General Qin Huaidao in front of the two armies."

Hearing Xiao Er's words, Yuchi Baolin couldn't help being overjoyed.And asked: "I don't know where the injury is, but is it life-threatening?"

"It's said that it's just a skin trauma, but this has made Pu Bucheng afraid to fight casually. He is ready to stick to Liaodong City and start a protracted battle with our army." Dian Xiaoer said.

"Today we saw that the military-civilian alliance in the city is strengthening the city's defenses. If Pu Bucheng does not dare to fight, we can only rely on our internal cooperation." Princess Tulu said.

"Pu Bucheng is very strict about the city defense. It is not an easy task for us to secretly open the city gate. The only way now is to find a way to counter the gatekeeper general." Xiaoer Dian said.

"You and your shopkeeper have been lurking here for not a short time. I wonder if there is any intersection with them?" Princess Tulu asked the waiter.

"My shopkeeper has really put in a lot of effort in this area. There is a lieutenant named Jin Zhennan in the city, who has a very close relationship with my shopkeeper. He has also become a relative of his son and daughter."

"Now my shopkeeper has gone to see Jin Zhennan to see if we can open a gap in him." The shop clerk said, Yuchi Baolin and his wife.

"This matter must be carefully considered. If you don't manage to steal the chicken, you will lose money. It is very likely that your identity as the shopkeeper will be exposed." Yuchi Baolin said worriedly.

"Don't worry about this, the general. My shopkeeper is very careful in handling affairs. Otherwise, His Highness would not let him come to Liaodong City to start work." The waiter said confidently.

"That's good, see if there is any way to send the news out of the city. It is best to let His Highness know about our every move, so that it will be beneficial to our next move." Princess Tulu said.

"It's not easy to send people out, after all, the whole city is under martial law now. And once the people sent out fall into the other party's hands, all previous efforts will be for naught." Yuchi Baolin said after waving her hands.

"General Yuchi probably forgot. In the words of our Highness, he runs a zoo. Although people can't leave Liaodong City, it doesn't mean that animals can't." The waiter said to Yuchi Baolin with a smile.

"You mean that animals can be used to transmit information, which is a bit sensational." Yuchi Baolin said incredulously.

"Two generals, just write down what you want to tell His Highness, I'll go and bring the golden eagle here." After the waiter finished speaking, he turned and left Yuchi Baolin's room.

Although Yuchi Baolin didn't quite believe it, but Princess Tulu firmly believed in it.He directly picked up the pen to brush and write a secret letter.

At this time, the waiter came in again with a golden eagle, and saw a bamboo tube on the golden eagle's claw.The shop waiter put the written letter into the bamboo tube and let the golden carving out.

Seeing the golden eagle heading directly out of the city, Yuchi Baolin was convinced now.And he said to himself: "I thought His Highness raised those lions and tigers just to make his wife happy."

……

"Your Highness, Liaodong City is twenty miles ahead. I don't know where we will set up camp?" Jiang Chengzu asked Li Chengqian.

"Pass down the order to set up camp two miles outside Liaodong City." Li Chengqian said to Jiang Chengzu without hesitation.

After Jiang Chengzu let out a sigh, he turned around and went down to make arrangements.And at this moment, a chime sounded in the sky.This made Li Chengqian stand up directly.

When Li Chengqian came outside the tent.A golden eagle in the sky landed directly on his shoulder.

"Little guy, it's been a long time since I saw you." Li Chengqian stroked the golden eagle and said with a smile.

Originally, Li Chengqian planned to use carrier pigeons to convey information, but later found that it was very unsafe.Because the carrier pigeon may be captured by others at any time.

Not only will the information not be conveyed smoothly, but it will also cause information leakage.So Li Chengqian chose this more ferocious golden eagle.

It can be said that the communication of letters in the 21st century relies on golden carvings.It's just that it hasn't been used in the military.
