Chapter 748 Chapter 767: Li Hao's Counterattack

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "Although this battle was planned by me alone, it was Fan Lihua who led the troops to defeat the enemy. Therefore, General Fan Lihua knows the specific situation better than me. Why don't you let General Fan Lihua explain to Zhao Guogong?" Bar."

Fan Lihua came out and looked at Changsun Wuji coldly, and said: "Master Changsun said that there are many unreasonable things in this battle, but I don't know what is unreasonable, please point it out, and Fan Lihua will explain it to you."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "Okay, let me ask you, there is more than one foot of snow all over the ground, but General Fan has already attacked the enemy with fire, what made the fire?"

Fan Lihua said: "Use oil."

"Oil?" Changsun Wuji sneered when he heard the words, "As far as I know, the army is in short supply of kerosene, and the kerosene needed to set off a fire with a radius of more than ten miles on the snow field is really unimaginable. Let the old man ask, where did General Fan get so much oil?"

Fan Lihua said: "It's not kerosene, it's oil."

"Oil?" All the monarchs and ministers were stunned when they heard the words. They had never heard of this word. Listening to the name, could it be oil made of stone?

At this time, Li Hao suddenly smiled and said: "Speaking of oil, let me explain to you, this oil is mined from the ground, just like digging a well to get water, but it is a hundred times more difficult and complicated than digging a well to get water , But fortunately, my Li Group has already produced machinery for extracting oil. Oil is not everywhere in the ground. Oil is like a pond buried in the ground. It is only found in very few places. If underground oil fields can be found, Excavation and mining on the oil field can produce tens of thousands of stones or even tens of millions of stones of oil. Qinghaiwei applies for so much money from the imperial court every year, and part of the money is used to buy oil from my Li Group Alright, it cost a total of [-] guan to buy [-] shi of oil, Mr. Changsun, do you think [-] shi of oil is enough to deal with an army of [-]?"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard the words. How much is one hundred thousand shi of oil? It is an astronomical figure, and it is much cheaper than kerosene.

After a while, Changsun Wuji said unconvinced: "Hmph, I don't believe it, how can there be such oil in the world, I have never seen it before!"

Li Hao sneered and said: "That's because you have too little knowledge. Your eldest grandson is in a corner, and you don't know how big the world is, and there are no surprises. Now that science and technology are invigorating the country, science is popular, but your eldest grandson is conservative and doesn't know how to make progress. You are old."

"What did you say!" Changsun Wuji called out, staring at him with anger.

Li Hao smiled indifferently, and said with high spirits: "If you still don't believe me, the former Qinghai Governor's General Hu Zhishen Li is in the hall, and the purchase of oil is an official document signed by him, just ask."

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Zhishisili. Zhishisili is no longer the Qinghai Protectorate. He was transferred to Chang'an as the General You Xiaowei and concurrently served as the Minister of the Ministry of War. He changed from a foreign official to a Beijing official. He was older before, but a Beijing official is a Beijing official, awesome, and he holds two positions, which shows that his official career has improved.

Li Zhi heard Li Hao's words, and immediately said: "I lost my mind, is what Li Hao said true?"

Zhi Shisili went out and cupped his hands and said: "Return to the emperor, what King Qiongnan said is true. Last year, Qinghai Wei did buy [-] shi of oil from the Li Group, costing [-] guan, and it was all recorded. The minister personally approved it, without any doubts! The oil, the minister also personally inspected, is a kind of black slightly viscous oil, which burns when it sees fire, even if it floats on the surface of water, it can burn It should be easy to use."

Hearing this, the officials suddenly had no idea, they could only sigh, they knew that Li Hao could not be brought down.

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "Li Hao, what is your intention to exploit so much oil? Don't you know that such a weapon of war cannot be held in private hands!"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt that something was going on. That's right, oil is so powerful, it should be dedicated to the country, but Li Hao exploited oil privately. What is he planning to do?

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "My lord, oil is not a weapon of war, but it is used to benefit the people. It is a waste of money to use oil on the battlefield. Oil is a treasure and is extremely precious. After refining, oil can be obtained All kinds of pure oil, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, etc., the extracted dregs can be used to pave roads, which are better than cement roads, and the extracted oil can be used as a power source to drive various Machinery, currently the research team of Ben Wang is researching it, and has made some achievements. As long as these machines come out, the steam engine will be eliminated, and more advanced and efficient internal combustion engines and internal combustion locomotives will appear. The speed is extremely fast, from Chang'an to Qinghai , It only takes two or three days to harvest rice and wheat in the field, no longer need manpower, use machinery to cut, and you can cut dozens of acres a day..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. The things Li Hao described were too unbelievable. passed.

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, then stared and shouted: "Impossible, how can there be such a powerful machine in the world!"

"Then, do you want to make a bet with Mr. Li? If anyone loses, kneel down and pay respects to the other party!" Li Hao looked at his eldest grandson Wuji with a sneer.

Chu Suiliang was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly winked at Changsun Wuji, reminding him not to be fooled, he had been fooled by this before, betting with Li Hao, and finally lost miserably.

Of course, Changsun Wuji didn't dare to bet with Li Hao. He didn't understand science, so how could he know if Li Hao was tricking him? He also had to admit that science is indeed amazing. He had no idea, so of course he wouldn't agree.

Li Zhi was very happy to see that Li Hao's charges had been cleared, and he wanted to end the matter as soon as possible, so he persuaded him: "Okay, don't quarrel, since Li Hao's suspicion of treason has been cleared, then let's go." Immediately get out of prison...Xu You, bring the clothes I prepared for Li Hao, and put them on for Li Hao, wearing a prison uniform, what does it look like."

"Yes!" Xu You held a tray in which a set of white clothes and a jade crown were neatly folded, Xu You walked up to Li Hao and said, "King Qiongnan, this servant will change your clothes for you. "

"Don't dare to trouble me." Li Hao shook his head with a smile, saluted Li Zhi, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, don't change your clothes in a hurry, and I have important matters to attend to!"

Li Zhi was taken aback when he heard the words, and so were the officials. Li Hao wanted to play something, why did he feel that it was not a good thing.

After Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, he spread his hands and said, "What's there for Shi Kuang to play, let me tell you."

Li Haodao: "I want to impeach Zhao Guogong's eldest son Sun Wuji for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and he should be punished for his crime!"

"What!" Changsun Wuji exclaimed when he heard the words, and stared at Li Hao, almost suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears. The officials and Li Zhi also looked at Li Hao in shock, dumbstruck for a moment.

It was Zhangsun Wuji who reacted quickly, pointed at Li Hao angrily, and asked loudly, "You say that this old man is collaborating with the enemy and treason, do you have evidence?"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Changsun was joking, when you impeached me for treason, there seems to be no evidence."

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "Because you are leading troops outside, and your behavior is abnormal, the old man suspects that you are rebelling, it is for the safety of the Tang Dynasty!"

"That's it." Li Hao laughed and said, "Master Changsun, you are also suspicious. This king has reasonable doubts, but for the sake of the country."

"Where is the old man suspicious?" Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and asked angrily.

Li Haodao: "Our cavalry of the Tang Dynasty swept Tubo with great victories and besieged the city for several months. The spies in the city came to report that the food in the city was running out and the city was about to be broken. However, the imperial court sent an imperial decree and seized the capital Wang and Fan Lihua had the military power. When Fan Lihua handed over the military power to General Li Yuanzhong, Tubo Prime Minister Garqin Ling had already led his troops to escape from Luoxie City and fled westward. If they pursued them, it would only take three days. It is all owned by the Tang Dynasty, but because of the deliberate sabotage of some people in the court, the success is on the verge of failure, this king wants to ask my eldest grandson, how much benefit has Tubo given you, and you want to save Tubo so desperately?"

All the ministers were dumbfounded when they heard the words. They looked at Li Hao, then looked at Changsun Wuji, and suddenly felt that Li Hao was right. Changsun Wuji tried his best to impeach Li Hao and demanded to seize the military power of Li Hao and Fan Lihua, but in the end he saved Tubo , Such behavior is more suspicious than Li Hao's previous behavior.

"You...you..." Changsun Wuji was speechless when he heard the words, he covered his chest, and pointed at Li Hao angrily, with a painful expression on his face.

Li Hao squinted his eyes and looked coldly at Eldest Sun Wuji, and said: "Master Eldest Sun, don't pretend to be sick, answer this king's question, how much benefit have you received from Tubo, and help Tubo in this way, and save Tubo from danger."

"You spitting blood! You spitting blood!" Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

"Whether it's bloody or not, you know it in your heart!" Li Hao also stared at him, and said in a deep voice, "Admit it, Mr. Grandson, how much benefit did you receive from Tubo, 50 guan? 100 million guan? Could it be that Tubo gave you ten thousand guan? A peerless beauty?"

Changsun Wuji couldn't bear it any longer, and suddenly covered his chest, opened his mouth and spewed out a big mouthful of blood, and then he was on the verge of falling. Chu Suiliang hurried forward to help him, but he was too old to help him at all. He could only let Changsun Wuji slowly collapse on the ground. Changsun Wuji was sitting on the ground, his eyes were straightened, and he was panting continuously.

Li Zhi was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up! Come on! Send Master Changsun to the Imperial Hospital!"

Immediately, a Jinwu guard rushed in, carried the eldest grandson Wuji on his back and ran out of the hall, Chu Suiliang hurriedly saluted Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister wants to accompany Zhao Guogong to the imperial hospital and take care of him." In fact, he I also know that Li Hao can't be convicted today, they lost, why are they still here, waiting for Li Hao to impeach him, why not go to the Supreme Hospital to avoid it first.

"Zunza!" Li Zhi agreed without hesitation.

Seeing Changsun Wuji being carried out, all the civil servants lamented, even Changsun Wuji had been made like this by Li Hao, how could they be Li Hao's opponents, it is estimated that they have nothing to do with today's grand meeting.

The hall was in chaos for a while, and finally calmed down. Li Zhi said, "I hope Duke Zhao is in good health. However, state affairs are important. Let's continue discussing. Although the conquest of Tubo failed this time, Li Hao and Fan Lihua led the troops to fight successfully." Tubo has no power to fight back, even abandoned the city and fled, annihilating 18 enemies, and exalting our country's prestige in the Tang Dynasty. hero!"

When the ministers heard this, their hearts sank. Not only could Li Hao not be brought down, but he would also be promoted. Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were gone, so they could seal whatever they wanted, anyone who was not afraid of being scolded for vomiting blood Go up and oppose it.
