Man Tanghong

Chapter 167 Iron Guduo

Others also nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Han Liang hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. You should have heard about His Royal Highness Qi throwing a giant log at Weize Pass. It is said that the giant log weighs hundreds of catties. His Royal Highness Qi It can be easily thrown out, and its arm strength may have reached a terrifying level.

If His Highness King Qi attacked with all his strength, Wang Junkuo might not be able to stop it. "

If Wang Junkuo couldn't even stop Li Yuanji's blow, then Qu Tutong and Yin Qiao would have no chance to make a move.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Yu Zhining also frowned, and said, "Do you want Wang Junkuo to avoid the battle?"

"His Royal Highness King Qi personally made an appointment to fight. If Wang Junkuo avoids the battle, who will think highly of him in the Tang Dynasty in the future? Wang Junkuo is now a member of our Qin Palace. If he avoids the battle, it will also weaken the name of our Qin Palace. head."

"Yes, so Wang Junkuo is determined not to avoid fighting."

"..."

The other counselors spoke up one after another.

What it expresses is just one meaning, Wang Junkuo cannot avoid fighting.

"Then let Wang Junkuo wear iron armor and go into battle. As long as he can take Yuan Ji's blow, I will immediately order Tan Douba and Kai Shan to fight. If necessary, I will also order Shubao and Jingde to do the same."

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin spoke slowly.

Since Wang Junkuo had no way to avoid the battle, he could only try his best to save his life in Li Yuanji's hands.

"No matter how you say it, Wang Junkuo is a duke of the state. Even if His Highness King Qi intends to teach Wang Junkuo a lesson, he would not really take Wang Junkuo's life. Otherwise, His Highness Qi Wang would have no way to explain it to the saint.

As for His Royal Highness King Qi throwing a huge log at Weize Pass, it is just a rumor, we have not seen it with our own eyes.

Whether it is true or not, and whether there are rumors about it, we do not yet know. "

Seeing that Han Liang thought too much about Li Yuanji, Yu Zhining wanted to raise others' ambitions and destroy his prestige, so he couldn't help staring at Han Liang and talking.

Just as Han Liang was about to open his mouth, Yu Zhining said again: "Everyone knows that there has always been a tradition of boasting in the army. Some generals and schools always like to use some ordinary battles to encourage soldiers and seek more benefits from the court. Exaggerate it before spreading it out.

His Royal Highness King Qi's incident of throwing a giant log at Weize Pass may not be without the possibility of exaggeration. "

All the advisors nodded approvingly.

Even Li Shimin nodded along.

There is indeed a tradition of boasting in the military. Apart from the two points mentioned by Yu Zhining, it also has the effect of stabilizing the hearts of the people.

As far as the people are concerned, if there is a big enemy coming, they will inevitably be in panic all day long.

After the imperial court has blocked the enemy with difficulty, if they truthfully tell the people what happened on the battlefield, the people may not feel at ease.

However, the imperial court slightly exaggerated the results of the battle ahead and told the people how the soldiers in the front easily repelled the enemy, and how they heroically took the head of the enemy general from the army. The people will definitely feel relieved after hearing this.

Because the common people don't want to see the Tang Dynasty fighting with the enemy, you come and go, and the fight continues. In that case, it means that the Tang Dynasty may once again recruit government soldiers from various places, and may increase taxes from various places.

The enemy may also break through Datang's defense line at any time and appear in front of the common people. The common people have no way to live in peace.

The common people hope to hear that Datang easily crushes and defeats the enemy, so that the common people can live in peace of mind.

Therefore, all the historical battle reports contain elements of boasting.

Even if the general leading the troops ahead is an honest man, he would not dare to falsify.

After a group of important officials in the DPRK turned their hands, when it was publicized to the common people, there would still be cases of boasting.

Take the Weizeguan battle report that Li Yuanji played to the court before.

Li Yuanji didn't praise Wei Zeguan's victory too much except for doing some tricks on his military exploits.

But after the court handed it over.

Li Yuanji became an invincible commander with both wisdom and bravery.

Su Dingfang became a warrior leading dozens of horsemen and chasing Liu Heitai with tens of thousands of soldiers.

Xie Shufang also became a lone hero who entered and exited three times in the Turkic camp.

Jieli became a fatuous Turkic Khan, Tuli became a mischievous, young troublemaker, Liang Shidu became a treacherous minister who frequently slandered Jieli, but repeatedly let Jieli fail.

Although the insiders in the government and the opposition all know that the court's publicity to the people is a bit nonsense.

But the common people feel that the commander-in-chief and warrior of the Tang Dynasty should be like this.

"I hope that His Royal Highness King Qi threw a huge log in Weize Pass, it is a rumor..."

Han Liang saw that everyone agreed with Yu Zhining's statement, so he didn't insist on his attitude any more.

If you persist, you will have to argue with everyone.

He didn't need to fight all his colleagues verbally for Wang Junkuo.

He didn't really care about Wang Junkuo's life or death.

Like Li Shimin, he only cared about Wang Junkuo's position as General Youwuwei.

Wang Junkuo is now General Youwuwei, as long as they help Wang Junkuo again, Wang Junkuo may not be able to take the position of General Youwuwei.

As long as Wang Junkuo takes the post of General Youwuwei, they will have the final say on the palace gate controlled by Youwuwei in Taiji Palace.

"It must be false rumors."

Yu Zhining spoke without hesitation.

Regardless of whether it is falsehood or not, at this moment, it must be falsehood.

Because Wang Junkuo can't avoid the war, it doesn't make much difference whether he spread rumors or not.

Anyway, Wang Junkuo couldn't avoid a fight with Li Yuanji anyway.

It might be better to say that it is just rumors, maybe Wang Junkuo will relax a lot because of this and perform better.

"I will try my best to keep Wang Junkou safe, and you don't have to quarrel over this matter anymore."

Li Shimin waved his hand, so that Han Liang and Yu Zhining don't have to worry about it anymore.

Han Liang and Yu Zhining bowed and did not discuss the matter any more.

Afterwards, Li Shimin discussed other matters with Han Liang, Yu Zhining and others, and they kept discussing until midnight before letting Han Liang and others leave.

……

Silent all night.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Under Yu Wenbao's harassment, Li Yuanji woke up early.

After getting up, he sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Yu Wenbao, "What are you hanging around outside my door so early in the morning?"

Yu Wenbao appeared outside Li Yuanji's dormitory when the sky was bright, and wandered around for most of the morning.

He was not afraid to disturb Li Yuanji's rest, so he asked the guard at the door over and over again, "Is Your Highness awake?"

Li Yuanji was woken up by his loud voice.

Yu Wenbao was not afraid of being questioned by Li Yuanji, instead he grinned and said: "Your Highness is going to compete with Wang Junkuo today, do you want me to prepare a weapon for His Highness?"

Yu Wenbao had already learned about Li Yuanji's feats outside Mingshui City from Su Dingfang's mouth, which meant to reproduce the scene outside Mingshui City in the past.

So I ran to Li Yuanji's residence early in the morning, wanting to know what weapon Li Yuanji used today.

If Ma Qian was used, then he would definitely have the opportunity to witness Li Yuanji's feats in the past.

If Ma Qian is not used, then he will persuade him to see if Li Yuanji will change his mind.

When Yu Wenbao mentioned the weapon, Li Yuanji was also taken aback.

Unlike his predecessor, Li Yuanji was not attached to the single weapon of Ma Chan.

Li Yuanji is willing to use any weapon, as long as he can use it.

"How do you feel about shooting a knife?"

Li Yuanji looked at Yu Wenbao and asked.

Although the Pai Dao is a weapon for infantry combat, the handle of the Pai Dao is long enough to be used immediately.

And the blade is heavy enough, with Li Yuanji's current strength, he should be able to use it with ease.

The original horse lance and horizontal knife are already a little light for him to use.

"Slap the knife?"

Yu Wenbao scratched his head, "The kind of knife that that stupid man under King Wu's command carries?"

Li Yuanji gave Yu Wenbao a blank look.

You have the nerve to call others stupid.

"Your Highness, we don't have this kind of knife in our house, and it's too late to make it now. Why don't you go and grab one from that stupid man under King Wu's command?"

Yu Wenbao said seriously.

Li Yuanji stared at Yu Wenbao, and said curiously: "How did you, as a Marquis, speak so confidently about robbery?"

Yu Wenbao puffed up his chest, and said boldly: "It's their blessing that Your Highness can see their weapons. If they don't take the initiative to offer it, I will of course have to take someone to snatch it.

After robbing them, they have to be beaten to let them improve their eyesight. If there is anything good in the future, I will dedicate it to His Highness as soon as possible. "

Li Yuanji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

I thought that after Yu Wenbao hung out with Su Dingfang and others, he would gain some brains.

In the end, it was still the same.

"The big fool you mentioned may look inconspicuous, but he is the county magistrate appointed by my father. You are a prince, and you ran to snatch a magistrate. I was beaten up, and I couldn't help you to reason."

Li Yuanji spoke speechlessly.

Yu Wenbao said indifferently: "Then bring Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang, they are also public servants."

Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao viciously, "Kan Leng is Li Fuwei's man, if Li Fuwei comes forward, do you still want to take me with you?"

Yu Wenbao heard Li Yuanji's bad tone and realized that he might have said something wrong, so he hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "I dare not... I dare not..."

Li Yuanji snorted and said, "Since you don't have a Pai Dao, then you don't need it."

If you use a knife, Wang Junkuo and the horse under Wang Junkuo's crotch may be divided into two.

When the time comes, the blood thorns will be loud, and the impact will not be good.

When the news got out, others thought that Li Yuanji was going to deliberately kill Wang Junkuo.

Wang Junkuo can only be beaten to death by mistake, and must not be beaten to death deliberately, otherwise he will be in great trouble.

"Go get me an iron bone."

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanji gave orders to Yu Wenbao.

The iron bone is a weapon similar to a mace, except that there are no spikes on the bone.

The mace was a weapon that was widely used in the Song Dynasty and after the Song Dynasty.

In Datang, there was no such thing as a mace in the army.

Even Tie Guduo is just a torture tool, not a weapon for combat.
