Great Tang Southern Emperor

"That's the truth."

"Anyway, no one in my Tang Dynasty was infected, even the Western Turks."

""

Li Zhen concluded: "Okay, don't talk about it anymore. Western Turks really need to be on guard, but don't be too nervous. The most urgent thing is to focus on the war between Huihe and Xue Yantuo. Now go back and have a good rest. Starting tomorrow, We're going to be busy."

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

Chapter 218 I Got It! ! !

Chapter 144 I Got It! ! !

From the second day onwards, the entire Protectorate's Mansion was in full operation, with falcons and horses coming in and out continuously, the army in the barracks had been integrated for several days, all new equipment had been installed, and the replaced weapons had also been loaded into vehicles. Ready to ship anytime.

It is impossible that such a big movement in the Duhu Mansion will not be noticed by spies of foreign races, but as Li Jing said, even if they have noticed Datang's movements, it is still difficult for both parties who have already beaten their brains out. It's too late to take care of it.

On this day, Li Zhen was resting, and the Flying Tiger Army sent information: "Your Highness, the information just received, two days ago, Ba Zhuo successfully returned to Xue Yantuo under the escort of Yuan Shanbu, and beheaded his uncle with a thunderbolt. Ascended Khan."

"Then what's his next move?"

"Naturally, we have declared war on Huihe." Fei Sandao: "According to the spies, Xue Yantuo has lost half of his territory under the onslaught of Huihe, but after such a long period of adaptation, Xue Yantuo has also reflected it. Now The two sides are at a stalemate on both sides of the Crescent River, and with Ba Zhuo succeeding to the throne, the Xue Yantuo people have a backbone, their morale has been restored, and the two sides have formed a confrontation."

"That's it." Here he took a sip of juice, thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid this is not what Tumidu wants. If he wants a quick victory, his hole card may be revealed."

"I'm afraid it is."

"Where did our artillery go?" Li Zhen asked suddenly. In order not to have any accidents, Li Zhen had already ordered the artillery battalion to set off that night, and they had been away for several days.

Fei San did some calculations and said, "According to the time, we've almost reached the setting sun."

"Sunset Lake?" Li Zhen opened the map and found the Sunset Lake and the Crescent River: "The Duhu Mansion, the Sunset Lake, and the Crescent River. In other words, in five days, the artillery will reach the Crescent River?"

"exactly."

"It's a bit slow." Li Zhen said sadly: "Don't wait until the end, Xue Yantuo has already lost."

"Probably not." Fei San hesitated: "After all, Xue Yantuo is a tribe with nearly a million people, so it's impossible to fail so soon, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. I always feel that Tumidu's hole card is not easy." Li Zhen put down the juice and turned around: "Take my token and pass the order, and the army of the Protectorate will set off immediately to help Xue Yantuo. Speed ​​up, don't hide your whereabouts anymore, go as fast as you can."

"Yes."

"There's always an ominous premonition." After Fei San left, Li Zhen still stared at Crescent Moon River and murmured.

"Your Highness, what kind of ominous premonition?" Du He just came in, and he couldn't help asking when he heard Li Zhen's words.

"It's okay, maybe I'm thinking too much." Li Zhen said so, but she was still a little worried.

"Did you come here for something?"

"Oh, by the way, it's the news from the Flying Tiger Army just now." Du He took out a note and said, "According to the information from the Flying Tiger Army, there have indeed been many Caucasians on the territory of Huihe recently, and they are collecting A black liquid has now spread throughout Huihe."

"Black liquid?! Black liquid~" Li Zhen muttered a few words, and suddenly said in horror: "Oil~ not good!"

"Wow!" Du He was startled by Li Zhen, and he slapped his chest fiercely and said, "Your Highness, can you stop being so startled, people who scare people will scare people to death."

"Oh, I don't have time to explain to you." Li Zhen rushed out of the hall in a panic: "Wei Gong, Ying Gong, come out quickly, something happened, something big is going to happen."

"Your Highness, wait for me, what happened?" Du He had never seen Li Zhen in this state, so he hurriedly followed her out.

"Your Highness, why are you free to come here today?" Seeing Li Zhen rushing in, Li Jing asked with a smile.

"I don't have time to joke with you, listen to me." Li Zhen rushed in without even having time to drink, panting heavily, "I know what Tu Midu's trump card is now."

"Really?" Li Jing suddenly stood up, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared: "Please speak slowly, Your Highness."

Hearing Li Zhen's shout, Xu Maogong also followed in, and said: "Yes, Your Highness, we are not in a hurry, it's fine if you take your time."

"If you don't hurry, there will be ghosts." Li Zhen said anxiously: "If you don't make arrangements, Xue Yantuo will really be wiped out."

"What's going on?" Du He also chased him in: "Your Highness, what happened?"

"I already know the hole card of the magic power." Li Zhen finally calmed down: "If my guess is not wrong, the method of the magic power must be the fire attack."

"Fire attack? It can't be done?" Du He scratched his head and said, "The Crescent River is between Huihe and Xue Yantuo. Using fire attack by the river, Tu Midu's head twitched, right?"

"Then what if there is a fire that can't be extinguished by water?" Li Zhenning said, "Even a fire that can burn directly on water?"

"How is this possible? How can there be such a thing in the world? No, yes, what does your Highness mean?" Du He couldn't continue speaking halfway, because he suddenly remembered that the fire from the flamethrower can't be extinguished by water. of.

"That's right, according to the information you just gave me, Tumidu is collecting a black liquid. If I'm not mistaken, this liquid should be oil. This kind of thing can't be extinguished by water. , You can only put out the fire with sand.”

"But it's not a rare thing, is it?" Li Jing said: "There is a kind of black liquid that can burn, and the old man has heard of it. As a trump card?"

"First of all, it's the fire-breathing cannon." Li Zhen said, "Do you remember what bet Tu Midu asked for during the martial arts competition that day?"

"It's His Highness's fire-breathing cannon." Xu Maogong came to his senses and said, "That means he wants to fire the fire-breathing cannon not to show off his power, but to imitate it? But what confidence does he have to guarantee that he can successfully imitate it?"

"This is another piece of information that I have to say." Li Zhen said: "According to the information just now, there are many Caucasians like Aussie on the territory of Huihe. Although these Caucasians are barbaric, they are not without wise men. As far as I know, their achievements in the West are not low, especially in architecture and machinery, which is even more unique."

"So Your Highness thinks that these white people helped Tumidu to develop something similar to a flamethrower, which gave Tumidu the confidence to end the war quickly?"

"It must be so." Li Zhen knew that Greek fire appeared during this time period (it was brought to Constantinople by a Syrian craftsman named Galinikos in 668, and it is now 630). It shows that the development of the West is not weak, especially in the research of weapons, I am afraid that it is not much weaker than Datang.

Li Jing's brows frowned immediately: "If this is really the case, it would be too bad. Maybe the degree of vomiting can really be reflected in us and swallow Xue Yantuo."

Xu Maogong also smiled wryly: "Now we can only pray that our reinforcements are fast enough, otherwise Huihe will annex Xue Yantuo, Tumidu will become a minister again, the court may admit it, and may even seal Tumidu as a Khan, Then we’re going to be out of luck.”

"So we must create established facts." Li Zhen suddenly smirked and said: "I have ordered the army to rescue Xue Yantuo just now, and when the three of us are completely mixed together, even if the father wants to fight, he will have no choice."

"Ha~" Du He was taken aback, and persuaded, "Isn't that bad? Going out to fight without authorization is a serious crime."

"You don't have to worry about that." Li Jing figured it out, and said with a smile: "First of all, it's a common practice that you don't accept the orders of the rulers abroad, and no one will say anything; Thirdly, if we can really succeed in this move, even if we go out without authorization, nothing will happen, at most the merits and demerits will be offset, what impact will this have on Your Highness?"

"That's the reason." Li Zhen raised her hand and said, "This time, let's let our hands and feet go and work hard."

"Yes, follow His Highness's order."

"Hahaha"

Chapter 145 A Step Late

"Your Highness, you are really good at predicting things." Fang Yi'ai stood next to Li Zhen with a flattering smile, and patted the horse: "How do you know that Tu Midu will definitely attack with fire? Hey, Tu Midu is really good. The fire attack—you haven’t seen that scene. Of course, I haven’t seen it either, but the brothers who heard it said, that scene, wow, even the river is burning. Xue Yantuo has never seen such a scene , At that time, I was frightened and stupid, and tens of 10 people were captured alive without even resisting, oops~”
