Great Tang Southern Emperor

Li Zhen shook her head directly and said: "Of course not. The reason why I released the words of rewarding weapons with military achievements is to reward the people below. If you count generals like you, my dozen or so weapons may not be enough. You share."

Li Jing was immediately disappointed, and said with some regret: "This is also reasonable, but it's a pity for that weapon. When I was traveling in Jianghu, I once learned a broken side-door sword technique. This sword technique is extremely exquisite and can be used in actual combat It is extremely powerful, and can be used whether it is fighting on the battlefield or fighting in the rivers and lakes.

It is a pity that if this sword technique is used with an ordinary long sword, it is full of loopholes and cannot be used at all.

However, the blueprint for its matching long sword has been lost, and Chuchen and I (Li Jing’s wife, Hong Funu, also called Zhang Chuchen, one of the Three Heroes of Fengchen) and I have been unable to research a sword that fits the sword. I regret it, I just feel that this exquisite swordsmanship might be lost.

Who would have thought that when I saw your weapons, Mr. Chang Shi, a few days ago, I felt that one of the swords was very suitable for this sword technique. I have also confirmed this point through many researches in the past few days. "

Chapter 52 The helplessness of the people at the bottom

Li Zhen's eyes became brighter the more he listened: "The chief executive is serious?"

"Of course it's true, the sword manual is carried by the manager." Li Jing's eyes flashed undetectable cunning, I don't believe you kid can't be fooled.

"That's easy." Li Zhen directly pulled Li Jing into the big tent, took out a sword from the weapon rack, held it up to Li Jing and asked, "If my guess is correct, what the chief executive said is this A sword?"

"How did Master Changshi know?" Li Jing hurriedly took it, fearing that Li Zhen would be tired, and asked curiously at the same time.

"Obviously." Li Zhen rolled her eyes: "Most of the weapons I cast are based on actual combat, only this peerless sword is my game, I made it for fun, this peerless The shape of a good sword is extremely unreasonable, unless there is a special technique of fighting, it can only be used as a plaything."

That's right, what Li Zhen handed to Li Jing was a peerless sword. In her previous life, Li Zhen was a big fan of "Feng Yun". of various weapons.

After passing through this life, his life experience became more prominent, so after the blast furnace was completed, Li Zhen began to cast the magic weapon of "Fengyun" in his mind, but he just cast the sin of heaven (designed by himself, which can be separated and It can be combined, but it can only be done manually, not automatically - it is enough to say (__) hee hee...), and the cannon steel has also been refined.So Li Zhen asked people to cast Thor No. [-], and at the same time ordered the craftsmen to help him continue to cast the magic weapon of "Fengyun" in his spare time, but the time was limited after all. Li Zhen only forged two swords, namely the Peerless Sword and the Xueyin Kuangdao.

As for why Li Zhen said that the Peerless Sword is a plaything, it is purely because of the design of the Peerless Sword. What, it’s so big) It’s too big.If the tsuba is too large, it means that you need enough wrist strength to swing it, and if you want to have more changes, you need stronger wrist strength-so the peerless sword is purely a weapon made for comics. It's not that no one can control it, but without a set of suitable martial arts, what's the use of being able to wield a peerless sword?

Why did Li Zhen only talk about the peerless sword but not Xueyin Kuangdao?That's because compared to the peerless sword, the Xueyin Kuangdao is much better. Although the shape is a bit weird, but fortunately it doesn't have a shape beyond the sword, and it can be regarded as a practical weapon, at least much better than the peerless sword.

"Crack, clap!" Li Jing applauded and praised: "Lord Changshi is really smart, is this a peerless sword, right? This peerless sword is really contrary to the common sense of ordinary weapon design. Not only is the sword huge, but it is also light-headed. Heavy, it is not conducive to the performance of a swordsman at all, how did you come up with the idea of ​​casting such a weapon, Your Highness?"

"Because it's handsome." Li Zhen took it for granted, "Don't you think this peerless sword will become extra attractive and handsome after being painted black (in a hurry to get out of Chang'an, so I didn't have time to paint it)? "

"This..." Li Jing was bitter, cooperating with you is just for fun, but you are too wasteful, you actually cast it with fine steel.

"So, you can take this sword, but you probably won't like this sword anymore. Don't worry about others saying you're unfair." Li Zhen generously handed the peerless sword to him. Li Jing.

"How can this be done? The rules are the rules, and I can't go overboard." Li Jing resolutely declined.

"That's it, let's forget it." Li Zhen took back the peerless sword indifferently, and comforted: "But the chief executive should not be disappointed. When I return to Chang'an, I will rebuild a sword for the chief executive."

"Thank you?" Li Jing was stunned. What do you mean? Is the meaning of imparting the exercises revealed in my words very cryptic?Or is your EQ too low to hear it?

"Is there anything else the chief executive can do?" Li Zhen asked curiously.

Li Jing came back to his senses: "Uh, no, no, since His Highness promised to help me recast a handle, then please read it."

"Don't worry, it's on me." Li Zhen assured her, patting her chest.

"That's good, there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

"I'll send it to the chief executive."

""

After sending Li Jing back, Li Zhen sat on the bed and sighed repeatedly: "Hey, it's a pity that I don't know Li Jing well, otherwise it would be nice to ask him to teach me that set of sword skills."

It turned out that Li Jing guessed correctly, and Li Zhen really didn't hear it—it can't be said that he didn't hear it, but he didn't think about it at all.

In the final analysis, Li Zhen was still influenced by later generations, because it is recorded in the classics of later generations that the secret recipes were kept very secret throughout the ancient times. Don't pass it on to your daughter, pass it on to your son but not your daughter-in-law, or you might rather die and take the secret recipe underground than pass it on to others.

This is not selfishness, but helplessness. For thousands of years in China, whether it is slavery or feudalism, it has always been an official-based society. Since officials are the foundation, it means that the lives of the people at the bottom will not be much better. Even in the so-called prosperous age, the people at the bottom will not be too rich—in an era when people are not starved to death, it can be called a prosperous age, where do you think the people at the bottom will be happy?

It is precisely because I have lived a poor life enough, so once I discover some secrets that I think can make a fortune, of course I have to stick to the secret recipe, and whoever dares to covet it is my sworn enemy.

Influenced by such ideas, Li Zhen believed that all ancient people were similar, and would not easily pass on her skills to others.But he ignored it. It was not someone else who was talking to him, but Li Jing, the number one god of war in the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing. A book of sword manuals might be related to inheritance in the eyes of others, but it was nothing to him. He still obtained this sword manual by accident, not his own housekeeping skills.

It's a pity that Li Zhen was too heavily influenced by later generations, so she just missed this opportunity.But it's not a pity, because Li Jing didn't have any good intentions in teaching Li Zhen's swordsmanship. To be precise, he wanted to find out some of Li Zhen's actions when he was teaching the sword manual—it was because Li Zhen's recent actions were too quiet. But it didn't match his character of itching all over his body if there was no news for three days, so that even Li Jing felt that Li Zhen must be planning some big move.

Because Li Zhen's identity is too sensitive, this time the memorial to Li Zhen's injury has not yet been answered by the emperor. In case something happens to him or he gets injured, Li Jing thinks that Li Shimin can eat him up.So ever since Li Zhen arrived, Li Jing has been careful and careful, just to avoid Li Zhen getting into trouble, but looking at the current situation, I'm afraid that Li Zhen is really brewing some big storm, and that's why he came up with such a notice. Being smothered to death in the womb by Li Zhen unintentionally, it can be regarded as a wrong attack.

Chapter 126

Chapter 53 A few days in a hurry

The next time Li Zhen lived very leisurely, occasionally training artillery, or hanging out with Xue Rengui, watching them create killing techniques, in short, in these leisurely days, time wandered to the end of March.

A lot of big things happened during this time:

On March [-]th, five days after Li Zhen was assassinated, the news finally reached Chang'an. Li Shimin was furious and ordered the Green Cavalry Army and the Flying Tigers (another intelligence organization in the Tang Dynasty as famous as the Green Cavalry Army (~ o ​​~) ~zz) Thorough investigation.

But just three days after the two spy organizations searched with great fanfare, Li Shimin changed his order. The first was to reward countless treasures and famous medicines, and the second was to clean the entire Chang'an city. After being uprooted by the army, after this cleansing, the underworld in Chang'an City has not recovered for three years; the third thing is also cleansing, the difference is that this time it is not the underworld, but the court. During the purge, a large number of ministers in the DPRK were killed or demoted by Li Shimin and severely cleaned, which greatly reduced the power of a certain person; the fourth was to increase his food town to 1000 or [-] households, and seal He is the governor of Youzhou (it is said that Li Zhen also has the official position of governor of Yuezhou, I almost forgot).

On the other hand, after the reward was issued, the thorough investigation that was originally publicized gradually faded away. It was a typical thunderstorm with little rain.What's even more exaggerated is that Li Shimin not only forbade the two major organizations under him to investigate, but also wrote to Li Zhen not to dispatch the Blood Dragon Guard to investigate.

Obviously, Li Shimin found something, which also shows that this assassination incident is not as simple as it seems on the surface. go down,

The timing of Li Shimin's letter came just in time, it could be said that it was late, but in general it was still late: it happened that before receiving the letter, Li Zhen had already ordered the Blood Dragon Guard to stop.It was late because it was different from Li Shimin's request, and the Blood Dragon Guard stopped because they had already found out what Li Zhen wanted.So in general, Li Shimin's letter is still too late.

The intelligence capability of the Blood Dragon Guard is no less than that of the 'Army (the collective name of the Green Cavalry and the Flying Tigers)', and it is dispatched several days earlier than the 'Army', so the 'Army' can find out that the Blood Dragon Wei has already found out, and it is a little deeper than the 'army'.However, Li Zhen's reaction was the same as Li Shimin's. When the information about the black hand behind the scenes reached him, his first reaction was to suppress the information and order the Blood Dragon Guard not to investigate further.

The second thing is that on March [-], the day after Li Shimin received the news of Li Zhen's assassination, Li Jing led [-] elite cavalry out of Mayi, entered Eyangling, and attacked Dingxiang City that night. Anticipating that the Tang army would make a surprise attack so quickly, thinking that Li Jing dared to go deep alone, the main force would definitely follow (if the soldiers do not overwhelm the country, Jing dare to mention the lone army so far?), so he hurriedly withdrew the big tent to Qikou.On the other hand, Li Jing sent spies to alienate his followers. Jieli's confidant General Kang Sumi took Sui Yang Emperor Empress Xiao Shi and her grandson Yang Zhengdao to Dingxiang to descend to the Tang Dynasty, and most of the rest of the tribe also rebelled.

Li Jing captured Dingxiang and returned to the court victoriously. Tang Taizong was very happy and said: "In the past, Li Ling led five thousand troops in the Han Dynasty, but was unfortunately captured by the Huns; now you go deep into the enemy's rear with three thousand light cavalry, defeat Dingxiang, and shake the north." , This is a rare event since ancient times!"

Worried about the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the continued attack, Jieli sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to make friends with him, expressing his intention to attach himself to the Tang Dynasty, and Jieli himself agreed to serve in the Tang Dynasty.In fact, Xieli didn't really want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but just used the strategy of delaying troops to buy time, and waited to recover his strength in order to avenge his shame.Because of the visit of the Turkic envoys, Tang Taizong Li Shimin sent envoys Hongluqing Tang Jian and others to visit the Turks to appease them, and at the same time ordered Li Jingshuai to surrender.

Li Jing and Li Ji met at Baidao, and they discussed that although Jieli was defeated, he still had many troops under his command, and they must withdraw to the north of the desert in order to preserve their strength. Chasing the Turks will be very difficult.Now that the imperial court sent envoys to Turkic, Xieli must relax, thinking that the Tang army would not continue to attack.If you choose 20 elite soldiers at this time and carry [-] days of food and grass, you can capture the Turkic Khan without fighting.

So he discussed with Zhang Gongjin to enter the army. Zhang Gongjin objected, saying: "The emperor's edict has agreed to the surrender of the Turks, and the envoy Tang Jian and others are still in the Turks. How can we send troops to attack at this time?"

Li Jing said: "This is actually Han Xin's strategy to defeat Qi State. As for Tang Jian's generation, there is no pity!"

Jieli was very happy to see the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty. He thought it was safe this time, and he was relieved, but he didn't know that this was just a trick of the Tang Dynasty. When he settled down next time, he would already be in Chang'an.

Because of his status, Li Zhen did not personally participate in these series of major events, but he is the long history of the Dingxiang Army after all, even if he did not go to the battlefield, he made a lot of military achievements along with him, making the brothers in Chang'an drool with envy .

But everyone didn't envy it for long, and quickly broke away from it, because the first business of Wangwang Bank had already been completed.Li Jing led the army to raid Dingxiang, but many were captured. Under Li Zhen's operation, almost all the soldiers sold or consigned their trophies to the King's Bank for processing, and the King's Bank made a lot of money. After receiving a sum of money, Li Zhen alone received [-] yuan. Although the rest of them were not as much as Li Zhen, they still had an income of [-] to [-] yuan.At the same time, Li Zhen also used the profits from the King's Bank to unite all the brothers. I believe that as long as the relationship is maintained in the future, it will not be difficult to tie everyone to his chariot.

There was another incident during the period, that is, after the victory in the raid on Dingxiang, Li Shimin wanted to call Li Zhen back under the pretext of the end of the war, but Li Zhen pushed the matter away on the grounds of illness—what a joke, Li Shimin Even if Li Zhen guessed the purpose with her toes, she just realized that she had found out the person behind the assassin's backstage, and she was afraid that she would be impulsive and retaliate against him?Does he underestimate himself too much?Or is he just such a thing in the eyes of others?

Besides, I haven't made any money yet—the raid on Dingxiang was just an appetizer in the entire war against the Turks, okay?Raiding Yinshan at night to capture Xieli alive is the real main course, right?I have come all the way from afar to be a guest, how can I just eat an appetizer and leave?

What's more, Li Zhen has already arranged the next thing. If she goes back at this time, wouldn't the previous arrangements be for nothing?You must know that it cost a lot of money, at least the first batch of income of Wangwang Bank was invested by Li Zhen, not to mention, she also paid a lot out of her own pocket, how can I not get it back?
