Datang first village

Niu Jinda was very confident, he trapped Ulji Wende in the Anshi City Lord's Mansion like a caged beast.

The reason is simple, that is, to live.

Li Jing said that Eulji Wende must be sacrificed with his heart and blood in front of the Beijing Temple.

The domestic city has already been laid down, and the stele is also being built. Li Jing did not feel any pressure to attack a domestic city. Li Jing, who was sitting in front of the telegraph, received the surrender of the domestic city before he could issue a second order. The telegram caused the four well-equipped and super-class legions to fail to exert their powerful power.

The war in Liaodong is over, and the next step is to consolidate the territory and clean up all restless forces.

Li Jing went to Dandong City, he wanted to check the defense himself.

Niu Jinda took his subordinates and set off overnight to Jian'an City. Ulji Wende was handed over to the trusted general to continue to surround him. It is impossible for Ulji Wende to escape. If he wanted to commit suicide, he would have committed suicide long ago. up.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuanchang, who was like a savage, led his men to continue looking for the mining area Li Yuanxing mentioned before dawn.

Li Yuanxing was dressed neatly and sat on the wall of Jian'an City.

It was the Ximen Tower, and Li Yuanxing kept looking to the west.

"Your Highness, General Niu has taken people to check the situation of the Koguryo surrendered troops. It is estimated that the whole team will be complete in half an hour, and the morning meal has been distributed."

Li Yuanxing didn't talk about Goguryeo's surrender, but said: "Is there no news from Suzhou?"

"Returning to His Highness, a regular telegram is sent every day. The border market has not yet opened, and only one businessman in Tuyuhun who deals in medicinal materials and leather goods has arrived in Suzhou. No movement within a hundred miles has been found. " Lu Maofeng replied very seriously.

"Did they know about the war in Liaodong?" Li Yuanxing asked back.

"Your Highness, it will take at least thirteen days to go from here to Tuyuhun Doma City on a fast horse. This is our military cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible for foreign messengers to run so fast in the Tang Dynasty. Even if they set off from Chang'an, it will take them 20 days. Only then can the news be sent back. The city of Chang’an in Liaodong has not been officially published in the newspapers, so how do they know?”

What Lu Maofeng said made sense.

Some things can't just be guessed, the speed of this messenger can be calculated.

"Forget it, divide into four teams, dig gold and crystal according to the king's instructions. The three marked places, you can't make a mistake with the ones in your hand!"

"Your Highness is joking, let alone know that there is gold there, even if His Highness just points to a place, they won't remember it wrong." Lu Maofeng laughed along with him, earning some face for his subordinates.

Li Yuanxing stood up: "Secretly order Su Dingfang of Hezhou, second-level combat readiness!"

According to the Datang War Preparedness Order, the first level of combat readiness means that troops can be dispatched within half an hour, which is the level of war at any time.

The second level of combat readiness means that the battle can be started within twelve hours.

** Combat readiness means that you can fight every day within five days.

We must know that in ancient wars, armaments, food, horses, etc., required a lot of factors.Even if it is a modern army, it is impossible to say that it has already dispatched troops in a war, and it also needs sufficient logistical preparations.

After Lu Maofeng recorded Li Yuanxing's order, Li Yuanxing said again: "Send a telegram to Li Shangshu, saying that the king asked. If there is no change in Tuyuhun this year, can he attack Gaochang? What else is needed to destroy Gaochang? Let him plan it!"

"Decree!" Lu Maofeng saluted and backed away.

On the other side, Niu Jinda had finished ordering troops and started to distribute breakfast.

A roujiamo per person.This is not the small size of the modern ones in later generations, or it is bigger than the standard big bun.Four inches in diameter and half an inch in thickness, the bread is filled with chopped pork.Give each person another cup of goat milk.

Goguryeo people eat two meals a day, even during wartime.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Goguryeo officers have never eaten such a good thing, white flour cakes, which are two or two weights of meat.Add a glass of goat's milk, and it's a Goguryeo general-level diet.

People in Goguryeo think that they may travel far today, but they don't know where they will go.

Leaving the camp lightly, without weapons, and only dozens of carts followed them, which made these Goguryeo people more and more confused.But they are surrendered troops, so they can't make their own choices. Even the officers who surrendered dare not ask questions, but only know how to carry out orders.

When a team of about 8000 people arrived in a valley, there were already [-] soldiers wearing Tang military uniforms camping here, but none of them were wearing armor, all of them were military uniforms.

"dig!"

Simple, one-word commands.

dig what?No one knows, just know that the order is to dig.

Send 1000 people to guard the surrounding area, of which [-] are Tang soldiers and [-] are Goguryeo soldiers. These are selected with good martial arts skills and equipped with weapons to guard the surrounding areas, and the rest are allotted tools. .

The location was calculated by Li Yuanxing, and compared with the terrain of later generations.

Li Yuanxing, who was sitting in the tent, was still flipping through the introduction of this small mining area. According to the information of later generations, it was written: the scale of the deposit is large, the crystal quality is very good, the hydrogeological conditions are simple (no groundwater), the surrounding rocks It is stable and suitable for open-pit mining; but it is far away from the main road, the terrain is high and steep, glaciers are widely distributed, and the climate is cold.

Northeast, is there any place that is not cold?

There are glaciers in the mountains in April, which is not a miracle at all. In many mountains, the glaciers in June have not melted.

Li Yuanxing didn't go out, but read in the tent.To clear the surface, it will take at least two days to dig down to see the crystal, as for what color it is.There is no record in Li Yuanxing's information, so this is a gamble on luck.The two princesses and their maids are still learning related secretarial knowledge.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Lu Maofeng shouted outside the tent.

Li Yuanxing put down his book and went outside, because Wang Yuyan and other girls were in the tent, so Lu Maofeng definitely couldn't come in.

As soon as he opened the door of the tent, Li Yuanxing was stunned. .

Is this luck?

It seems that my luck has been quite good in the past few months. There are super-quality abalones in the sea, and crystals in the mountains.

Lu Maofeng still had a piece of hair crystal in his hand, and the soil on it had not been cleaned.But the size is huge, almost the size of a volleyball in the later generations. Li Yuanxing believes that the part that has been cleaned of impurities will also have a diameter of about ten centimeters, but he doesn't know the texture and color.

When Lu Maofeng arranged for people to clean and knock off some impurities attached to the crystal, Wang Yuyan and the others also came out of the tent, looked at the crystal, and shook their heads involuntarily.

This is a piece of citrine, the color is undeniable, it is definitely bright enough, but inside the crystal there are countless slender stripes like silk, which is not as beautiful as that pure color crystal.

Li Yuanxing signaled to stop polishing, held the crystal in his hand, and after careful observation, Li Yuanxing said: "This is a piece of white crystal. It is the color of the filaments inside, which makes people misunderstand that it is a piece of citrine. Anyway. , This is also the first piece dug out, and I will bring it to the cabinet master tonight as a souvenir!"

Is it valuable?

Li Yuanxing really didn't know. In short, it was a piece of crystal, and it was also the first piece dug up after the Liaodong War.

There is absolutely no problem as a souvenir.

Just as he was speaking, a sergeant came running over with a piece of real amethyst wrapped in cloth.

"Your Highness, it was found in a cave. Our miner is studying how to continue digging down the cave, and there should be better quality. Send this piece for Your Highness to have a look at!"

**Two fist-sized amethysts, irregular in shape, looking at the light from the exposed part, they are pure and indeed top-grade.After Li Yuanxing had seen it, he motioned for Wang Yuyan and others to come and have a look. After watching it, Wang Yuyan said, "Your Highness, after polishing, it must be top-grade, and you should be rewarded!"

"Then give it a reward!" Li Yuanxing replied calmly.

Wang Yuyan continued: "His Royal Highness returned to the Heavenly Court to bring a gift to the Emperor Taishang Xian. The one just now was a commemoration, and this one is barely a gift. To order extra meals tonight, let them work harder. At least one box has been dug out, otherwise Yu Yan thinks it's not enough respect to bring only two pieces!"

"There will definitely be a whole piece dug out at night, and those connected in large numbers may weigh several hundred catties!"

The spar cluster Li Yuanxing was talking about was the cluster of hundreds of large and small crystals that had not been knocked open in one piece.

That night, Li Yuanxing brought quite a few. Among them was a cluster of white crystals, about 40 centimeters long, [-] centimeters wide, and nearly [-] centimeters high.There is also a cluster of purple crystals about half the size, and a crystal hole that looks like a round stone but is accidentally broken, but it is one meter high.

With these and the original two pieces, Li Yuanxing returned to modern times that night.

Li Lanshan has already fallen asleep, she is easily tired when she is pregnant, and she has been busy dealing with the stick.On the contrary, Li Yuanxing seemed more relaxed. Apart from going to the film and television company once every two days to take some shots related to him, Li Yuanxing didn't worry about the business affairs of Mr. Gui and Li Lanshan.

Li Yuanxing didn't have the heart to disturb Li Lanshan, but just pushed a few rattan boxes to the corner.

On the contrary, the two pieces he held in his hand were conveniently placed on the

Until dawn, it was Li Lanshan who brought the breakfast to the bedside. After shaking Li Yuanxing awake, Li Lanshan actually said: "The servant serves the prince for breakfast!"

It took a long time for the dazed Li Yuanxing to realize that he was in modern times, because the word "wangye" did not exist in the Tang Dynasty, and it was only in the late Ming Dynasty that the title "Ye" came into being.

"How much is this breakfast worth?" Li Yuanxing asked subconsciously.

As the old saying goes, if there is nothing to flatter, there must be fraud!

"What is your identity, Li Yuanxing? You brought back some foolish things. The weight must be enough. The largest piece weighs several hundred catties. But is that thing worthy of your identity? The largest piece in the spar cluster It's the size of a fist, and it's still my fist."

What was written on Li Lanshan's face was dissatisfaction. (To be continued.)
