The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 728 Li Zhi wants to learn from Xu Maogong (fourth update)
"Liu Xiang is right. Someone should be responsible for the escort. After all, the value of the fireworks is not small. If something goes wrong on the way, none of us can afford it." Luo Song nodded and said.

"Marshal, why don't we let our brothers escort us with our troops?" Yuchi Baolin said to Luo Song.

"Okay, Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing listen to the order. Your two brothers will lead the Galewind White Tiger Army and the Kuangbo Xuanwu Army. Cooperate with Duke E to escort the fireworks to the front of the two armies." Luo Song nodded and said.

"The last general will obey orders." Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing saluted Luo Song at the same time.

"The battle between the two armies is now intense, and I, Yu Chigong, dare not waste time. I bid farewell to the marshal and everyone." Yu Chigong said after clasping his fists to everyone.

So Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing brothers, each with their own troops, followed Yuchi Gong and left Youzhou City.Heading towards the city of the Huns.

……

"His Royal Highness, the trebuchet and kerosene are ready now. Just wait for Yu Chigong to come back with fireworks, then we can launch an attack on the Khitan King City." Xu Maogong said to Li Zhi.

"The vanguard general has been away for more than ten days, and I'm afraid it's time to come back. If the time is too long, the Khitan king agreed to the conditions of the palace. At that time, if you want to do something again, I'm afraid it will not be honorable." Li Zhi nodded and said.

It turned out that just a few days ago, the Khitan king had already made a decision.He sent someone to submit a letter of surrender to Li Zhi, expressing his willingness to be a minister to Datang.

Li Zhi naturally had to accept the Khitan King's surrender, but Li Zhi made a request.That is to let the Khitan king return to Chang'an City with the army, and Li Shimin will deal with him personally.

This couldn't help but embarrass Khitan King Dahe Kuge.He was worried that when he arrived in Chang'an City, he would never return.So I didn't make up my mind for a while.

However, Li Zhi was afraid that time would drag on for a long time, and if Khitan King Dahe Kuge really agreed.Then if you want to launch an attack on the Khitan King City again, you will be a little bit out of nowhere.

At this time, someone came to the tent of the Chinese army and said to Li Zhi: "His Royal Highness, according to the report from Ma Lai, there is a troop of thousands of people escorting dozens of carts, and they are heading towards our army camp. come."

"Could it be that the vanguard general has returned, but as far as I know, the vanguard general only took a few hundred troops with him when he left. Why are there thousands of troops?" Li Zhi asked Xu Maogong in puzzlement.

"These dozens of large carts of fireworks are very valuable. How could His Royal Highness Yan be relieved to let Yu Chigong and hundreds of people escort them back. Presumably His Royal Highness Yan sent someone to come back with Yu Chigong." Xu Maogong Said to Li Zhi.

"For the sake of safety, we should take defensive measures. So as not to be taken advantage of by others." Li Zhi said to Xu Maogong after thinking about it.

Xu Maogong couldn't help but praise Li Zhi's words secretly.I feel that Li Zhi's decision is very wise. After all, the two armies need to be cautious in everything before the battle.

……

"His Royal Highness, the last general lived up to everyone's expectations and brought the fireworks back. These are the two sons of the last general, Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing. They came here under the order of Li Tai's boy, responsible for protecting the fireworks." Yu Chigong walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, saluted Li Zhi and said.

"The Vanguard General has worked hard all this way. After returning to Chang'an triumphantly, I will definitely repay the credit of the Vanguard General to the Father." Li Zhi happily said to Yu Chigong.

Then he said to Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing: "I have long heard that the two generals are excellent in martial arts, and they have made countless military exploits by the side of the emperor. It is a great honor to meet you today. I am really lucky."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is absurd. The last two brothers are just doing their part. Don't dare to take credit for it." Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing hurriedly saluted Li Zhi.

"The two generals have worked hard all the way. Tonight, I will hold a banquet in person to clean up the dust for the two generals." Li Zhi said to Yuchi and Baolin brothers again.

"His Royal Highness, now that the fireworks have been successfully delivered to His Royal Highness, we two brothers should return to Youzhou and return to His Royal Highness King Yan." Yuchi Baolin said.

"Since you're here, why bother to go back in such a hurry. Why don't you stay and help me, what do the two generals think?" Li Zhi asked Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing.

This involuntarily made Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing look embarrassed.Just when he was about to say something to Li Zhi, he heard Yu Chigong from the side say: "Since His Royal Highness is alive, you can stay here."

Hearing what his father said, Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing bowed to Li Zhi and said, "Brothers Mo Jiang are willing to listen to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Okay, there are two generals to help. It will be no problem to break through the Khitan King City. Now that the necessary things are ready, I don't know when the vanguard general will do it." After Li Zhi nodded in satisfaction, he said to Yuchi Gong asked.

"I don't know if the military division has delivered the catapult and kerosene in place according to the general's request." Yu Chigong asked Li Zhi.

"Everything is ready, just wait for your order when you come back. The whole army can launch a general attack on Khitan King City." Xu Maogong nodded and said.

"Then order people to distribute the fireworks near the catapults. Tonight at Yinshi, attack the Khitan King City on time." Yu Chigong nodded and said.

"Why did the vanguard general choose to send troops at night? After all, the sight is not so wide at night. I'm afraid it will increase the casualties of our army." Li Zhi asked Yu Chigong puzzled.

"Your Highness, these fireworks are only beautiful when viewed at night." Yuchi said to Li Zhi with a smile.

Of course Li Zhi knew that Yu Chigong chose to do it at night, definitely not because the fireworks look good at night.There must be something on his mind.However, Li Zi didn't ask again, but just nodded in agreement.

After setting the attack time, the generals were assigned tasks.Then Xu Maogong returned to his vanguard camp. Of course, the two brothers Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing also left the camp of the Chinese army with Yuchi Gong.

"Military division, why did the vanguard general choose to attack at night. Is there any arrangement that can't be made?" Watching the generals leave the tent of the Chinese army, they went down to prepare according to Yu Chigong's arrangement.Li Zhicai asked Xu Maogong.

"During Yinshi, people are the most sleepy. Therefore, Yu Chigong chose to attack at this time, which will definitely bring an unexpected blow to the Khitan soldiers. It will make them even more flustered." Xu Maogong said to Li Zhi.

"It seems that I still have a lot of deficiencies in this matter of marching and fighting. After this triumphant return, I hope that I can follow the military teacher and learn about this marching and fighting. I don't know if the military teacher is willing to accept this disciple of this palace. " Li Zhi asked Xu Maogong solemnly.

Xu Maogong never expected that Li Zhi was going to worship him as his teacher.For a moment, he didn't know how to answer, and the whole person froze there.

"Does the military advisor think that I am not worthy of being a military advisor's disciple?" Looking at Xu Maogong who was stunned, Li Zhi asked again.

"Where, I can't ask for it. But this matter has to be nodded by the emperor. After all, it is not a trivial matter for a prince to be a teacher." Xu Maogong hurriedly said to Li Zhi.
