Great Tang Southern Emperor

Yuchi Jingde was a blacksmith in his early years, specializing in making weapons for people. He has researched all kinds of weapons. Later, after he made his fortune, he also kept this habit. He used to study weapons from the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Southern and Northern Dynasties to this year. , can be regarded as the top weapon expert among the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

And even such a weapon expert exclaimed after seeing this weapon, which shows how extraordinary this weapon is.

But it is not necessary to say how rare this weapon is. In fact, although this weapon is sharp, it is not a magical weapon, it is almost equivalent to a hundred-forged weapon.

The only thing that may be strange is the shape of this weapon—it is a spear, but not a spear. It is only a little over six feet long, which is about the same as a spear (the spear is very long, about eight feet long) Snake spear is the proof), this is nothing, there are so many spear weapons in history, and the spear is just one of them.

The problem is that on such a six-foot-long spear, the spear head alone is a full two feet long, which is almost equivalent to the length of a sword, accounting for a third of the entire spear. Opening on both sides, there are two deep blood grooves on the side, and the lower half of the blade is densely serrated, with a faint red light, one can tell at a glance that this is a peerless murderous soldier who has drunk countless blood...

This may no longer be defined as a regular spear. It should be regarded as a strange weapon, which cannot be used by ordinary people. Only those who have undergone special training will use it as a weapon.

It is also because of the peculiar shape of this weapon that Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde can recognize it at a glance, because this uniquely shaped spear is actually the standard equipment of an invincible army in the past. With the demise of the former Sui Dynasty, the entire army has been wiped out, and this kind of weapon should also disappear. How could it reappear?

Coupled with the previous box of Sui weapons, Qin Qiong seems to have thought of something...

And this - is actually the reason why Qin and Qiong were so horrified.

"Could it be that the two princes have already recognized this weapon? May I ask what this weapon is? Whose equipment is it?" Seeing that the two recognized this strange spear, Mo Wuwei was overjoyed and hurriedly Cui asked: "If it is not suspected of confidentiality, I beg the two princes to tell my subordinates that my brother's death was really wronged. Even if we can't take revenge in the end, we should at least know whose hands we died at. "

"Let's talk as we walk." The matter has become more and more serious, Qin Qiong must tell Li Shimin immediately - perhaps His Highness's young army is about to meet an opponent...

"Yes……"

Chapter 934 Invincible Under Heaven - Guo Yi Army

Chapter 293 Invincible in the World——Guo Yi Army

On the land to Wuzhuang Temple, Qin Qiong picked up the strange spear again and introduced to Mo Wuwei: "Actually, this weapon is not a secret thing, as long as it is an old soldier in the army from the former Sui Dynasty, it will be familiar with it." impression, so it doesn't hurt to tell you.

You must have read the book, right?

Now that you have read books, you should have an understanding of the history of the former Sui Dynasty. Then let me ask you, in the former Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once summoned the world's knight-errants to death, promised to make a living, trained hard, and equipped with top weapons , trained an army unparalleled in the world, do you know the name of this army? "

"Of course this subordinate knows that this army is called Guoyi Army or Guoyi Wei, also known as Xiaoguo Army. It is a powerful army that Emperor Sui Yang relied on most. It is invincible in all directions. It is said that only the Israeli army The trained jumping battalion is comparable to it, but unfortunately the jumping battalion was exhausted during the three campaigns to Goguryeo, and the Guoyi army became the real number one army in the world.

Later Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty took him with him when he inspected Jiangdu. Because he had not returned to the north for a long time, Guo Yiwei missed his hometown. In addition, when the Wagang army approached the eastern capital, Emperor Yang had no intention of returning to the west, which caused Guo Yi's army to miss home. Heart more cut.Later Emperor Yangdi used Jiangdu widows and unmarried women to force Guo Yijun to marry him in Jiangdu, but Guo Yijun still didn't want to stay in Jiangdu, so he often fled.

In March of the 14th year of Daye (618), under the planning of Sima Dekan and others, Tuiyu Wenhuaji led the instigation of the Guoyi army mutiny, and broke into the palace in the middle of the night to kill Emperor Yang. It is ridiculous, such an invincible army The army actually killed their master, Emperor Sui Yang is pitiful and ridiculous..."

Speaking of this, Mo Wuwei taunted a few words. Guo Yiwei is known as the most terrifying beast in the Sui Dynasty. He is an invincible opponent in the world. It was unbelievable to die (Emperor Yang asked who was the mastermind at the time, and the traitor Sima Dekan said: "The whole world is complaining, there is more than one person"), and it also shows from the side how unpopular Emperor Sui Yang was.

After mocking Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty and Guo Yi's army, Mo Wuwei continued: "Later, Yu Wenhuaji brought Guo Yi's army back west as promised, but when this fierce army came to Huatai (now Hua County) in the east of Luoyang , Since the army ran out of food, they launched an attack on the Liyang granary occupied by the Wagang army, so they set up a battlefield on both sides of the Qishui River with Li Mi's army who came to the rescue.

At that time, Yang Tong, the emperor's grandson who stayed in Luoyang, was killed by Emperor Yangdi.In order to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, Emperor Huangtai sent someone to recruit Li Mi and asked Li Mi to attack Yuwenhuaji's Guoyi army with all his strength.Li Mi was also afraid that the Luoyang Sui army would attack him from behind, so he immediately responded and started fighting at the foot of Tongshan Mountain.

Li Mi knew that Yuwen's army food was about to run out, so he resorted to tricks, pretending to have peace talks with Yuwen, and promised to lend Yuwen food.Yu Huaji believed it to be true, and overjoyed, he allowed the troops to eat and drink freely, and maybe even hold dinner parties, but as a result, the little army rations left quickly ran out.Li Mi's plan was to turn his back on Yuwen after he consumed all the military rations. Unexpectedly, one of his subordinates rebelled and told Yuwen about Li Mi's trick.Of course Yuwen was furious, and knowing that the army rations could no longer be supported, the whole army attacked Li Mi.

In July, the two sides fought in Tongshan.The loyal Guoyi Army fought hard for a day with the Wagang Army, the champion of the Rebel Army. .Li Mi tried his best to barely repel Yuwen's attack.

Although the Battle of Tongshan failed to defeat the Xiaoguo Army, Li Mi still won, because the Guoyi Army had no rations and could no longer hold a stalemate with the Wagang Army. Generals Chen Zhilue, Fan Wenchao (the son of Fan Zigai who defended Luoyang against Yang Xuangan), Zhang Tonger and others surrendered to Li Mi one after another, leaving only [-] remnants of Yu Wenhuaji, who fled to Wei County...

Guo Yi's army was severely injured by this battle, and it was divided into several divisions, which gradually dispersed and never reorganized. "

Speaking of this, Mo Wuwei sighed again, and said: "It's a pity that such an elite Guoyi army did not lose on the battlefield, but was defeated by Yu Wenhuaji's incompetent command. It is really a pity and a pity."

"It's a pity. The Guo Yi Army back then was the dream of all soldiers." Qin Qiong also sighed: "I admired the Guo Yi Army when I was young, and even joining the Guo Yi Army was a dream of mine. It's a pity that in the end, the two sides became enemies and fought on the battlefield, until the Guo Yi Army was disbanded, and I didn't have a chance to join."

Yuchi Jingde also said: "Yes, I really wanted to compete with Guo Yijun back then, but I joined the army too late, by the time I became famous, Guo Yijun would have disappeared long ago, what a pity. "

Mo Wuwei's face suddenly changed: "The two princes asked so many subordinates, could this weapon be the equipment of the former Guoyi Army?"

"That's right, this strange spear should actually be called a blood-drinking spear. It was designed by Emperor Sui Yang, the most famous weapon master in the world at that time, especially for Guo Yi's army. Coupled with the martial arts designed on the basis of this spear, Guo Yi's army is invincible." Qin Qiong said in a deep voice: "Later, this blood-drinking spear followed Guo Yi's original old man. I thought I would never have the chance to see it again in this life. This weapon is gone, who knows that I saw it again today, but the Guoyi Army has been disbanded, this weapon should also be destroyed, how could it reappear?"

"Perhaps it was left over from the people." Yuchi Jingde speculated: "The Guoyi army was not really wiped out back then, but was disbanded. Some people went back to the mountains and forests, and some people took refuge in Li Mi. Some of the blood-drinking spears in the hands of the man may not have been destroyed, and later his descendants or others went out to sea and took the blood-drinking spears away."

"But according to what Mo Wuwei said, after the man holding the blood-drinking spear was killed, the enemy immediately besieged and killed the captain of the Rampage like crazy. It can be seen that the identity of that man is also very extraordinary among the enemies." Qin Qiong speculated Said: "So I don't think things are that simple, because as far as I know, the high-level members of the Guoyi Army should have died, including those who later took refuge in Li Mi, and they were all killed in the later battles." The centimeter pit is dead, no matter how you think about it, it’s unreasonable.”

"I don't know about these things. We now know too little information. We should report it directly to His Majesty and let His Majesty handle it himself." Yuchi Jingde didn't have much wisdom at all, and he was even more troubled by such brain-burning problems. Cracked, I thought about it for a while and got no clue, so I simply gave up thinking about it, and let someone who can think about it deal with it.

"That's right..." Qin Qiong smiled wryly. He didn't expect that he didn't understand what his brother thought. This kind of thing is simply not something he can handle. If this is the case, why should he worry about it?It is the right way to leave all this to His Majesty.

Chapter 935 Evil Officials Harm People (Two in One)

Chapter 294 The Wicked Officials Harm People (Two in One)

The team soon arrived at Wuzhuang Temple, and Li Shimin personally checked all the dead and living people carefully, and found that there were no impersonators, and then personally checked the seizure of Hengxing, but unfortunately because the number was too small , like Qin Qiong, did not draw any conclusions. As for the tattoos on the corpse, they were also very strange and could not be interpreted. In the end, it was proved that it was only a single case, which did not prove anything—at least in Li Shimin's impression, there was no Which old opponent's mark is like this.

I didn't see anything, and the result was naturally nothing - my fleet was under attack, and I just couldn't find the enemy, but I didn't even know who the enemy was, which made people feel even more depressed. The appearance of the blood-drinking spear seems to have given Li Shimin some kind of bad hint, which made him feel very unhappy.

If the emperor is in a bad mood, he will anger the ministers, so the ministers will not be in a good mood, and if the ministers are in a bad mood, they will find trouble with the lower officials. It will be fine, but their anger can only be borne by the lower officials. The subordinate officials are the middlemen connecting the people and the court. When they are angry, they dare not take revenge on the chief officials, so they can only vent to the people. It doesn't matter if it's over, anyway, the people are the bottom of the Tang Dynasty, even if they endured their anger, they have no way to vent, let alone a way to report, they can only endure it silently in their hearts, so the atmosphere in the whole Yuezhou City It became weird, and gradually this weirdness turned into depression...

This is the main reason why the atmosphere in Yuezhou City is so depressing...

Of course Li Zhen knew about such a big incident in the Saren Fleet, and he had even guessed it a long time ago. As for the depression in his heart, he was even more upset than Li Shimin. And a strong enemy.

What Li Zhen is upset about is that the Saren Fleet is his fleet. From the captain to the sailors on and off the fleet are all his people. If something happens to the entire fleet, then the pension of the deceased alone will be reduced. Li Zhen suffered heartache, not to mention his own loss - the loss of the fleet is not a small number, and what is even more terrible is that according to Mo Wuwei, the enemy is entrenched in Yuezhou to Near the route of the Spice Islands, that is to say, the route between Lingnan and the Spice Islands is not safe until the enemy is wiped out, and they may face enemy attacks at any time, which is very fucking.

As for destroying that enemy?

It's easy to say, but how easy is it to actually do it?

And the most important thing is that the imperial court knows too little about the enemy. Until now, they can't figure out who the opponent is, whether they still have contact with the mainland, and what is their purpose of entrenching there?Did Saren discover their lair by accident, or did they come here specifically to cause trouble for this fleet?

If it's the former, it's better, but if it's the latter, it's terrible...

If they were specifically against Li Zhen or undermining Datang's Nanyang policy, then even if Li Zhen really sent troops there, it would be too late—the enemy is not a fool, after attacking Datang's fleet, they It is impossible to just stay on that island and not leave. The principle of guerrilla warfare is too simple, and anyone with a little experience in the battlefield can use it.

So if they were really looking for trouble for Li Zhen, even if Li Zhen sent a fleet to encircle and suppress them according to the coordinates provided by Mo Wuwei, I'm afraid the place would already be empty.

The sea is vast, and if the enemy leaves the place, even if Li Zhen sends out all the warships under his command, trying to find the enemy is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

But if the opponent is not killed, then the route from Lingnan to the Spice Islands will be absolutely unsafe or even completely cut off. Even if Li Zhen offers a big reward, no one will dare to take this route.

As for sending warships to escort?

This seems like a good idea, but it doesn't really work.After all, there were three warships in the previous Saren fleet, and there was also a third-tier battleship among them, which had more than 90 artillery pieces and more than 600 sailors, plus two fourth-tier battleships, it was enough There are more than 700 people (350 people per ship), and more than 100 artillery pieces. This is already a large sea force, but such a force is easily killed by the enemy, even if the enemy is surprised and the three warships take the initiative. Because of this, but this is already very scary.

What's more, until the end, Mo Wuwei didn't know how many enemies there were, and did they try their best in this attack?Is there a greater power hidden on that island?

Before you understand this, if you just send a few warships to escort, you can only be looking for death, but if you let the entire fleet go out to escort a route—not to mention whether it will scare the enemy, the formation alone will not be enough. It's too extravagant, right?Moreover, every time a warship sails, the consumption is huge. If it comes several times like this, Li Zhen will not be able to bear it.

But if the fleet is not sent to encircle and suppress, Li Zhen has a worry-if the enemy has no harvest for a long time, will they attack the Spice Islands?After all, it is not difficult to obtain the coordinates of the Spice Islands, and the money is touching. As long as the price is high, some crew members are willing to earn the money.

This is Li Zhen's lifeblood, but there are not many defenders on the Spice Islands at this time, there are only more than 1000 people in total. Since the enemy dares to attack the fleet, it makes no sense for them not to dare to attack the islands with only 1000 people.

But if they really do this, then they will really hit Li Zhen's seven inches...

So it's okay not to send troops...
