Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"No one among the Turks can deter the entire grassland and those tribes."

"They have once again become a plate of loose sand, and there is nothing to be afraid of."

"This is also the result of the all-or-nothing strategy adopted by Tuli, Zhishisili and others this time."

"Or, they will break through our Chang'an City, and our Tang Dynasty will be in danger."

"Either, they lost, were completely broken up, and went to decline."

"Now that the war is over, we can finally have a chance to discuss it."

"Why did the Turks go uncharacteristically this time and directly mobilize an army of 40 to fight with us like this?"

"And the most surprising thing is that Tuli sent all the old people and children of the grassland tribes to the battlefield."

"And killed so many sheep from various tribes in the grassland."

"These grassland tribes did not oppose or rebel."

"According to reason, this is simply unreasonable!"

Li Shiji frowned at this time and said: "I captured two Turkic soldiers in the Battle of Ferry before."

"They said it was forced by Youzhou. If the Great Tang Dynasty does not perish, their grassland will perish sooner or later."

After hearing his words, everyone including Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.

Right now, he couldn't tolerate others saying anything bad about Li Qiu.

Chai Shao, Qin Qiong, Changsun Wuji and others also frowned slightly.

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde also changed into their official robes and rushed over.

"Your Majesty, everyone, as for why the Turks are desperately fighting with our Tang Dynasty."

"I know the reason."

"Look at this, and you will understand."

After finishing speaking, Yuchi Jingde, who was like an old farmer, laughed and ordered the eunuch to bring up a very square, large and heavy city wall brick.

(For Yuchi Jingde, the real image in the history books is like this, and there is no derogatory meaning. If he put on the same commoner clothes and sat on the street.

Just like the man in the crop field, no one can tell that he is a dignified general, the Duke of the country.

His character and demeanor are equally simple, he does not forget his roots, and he also takes care of his relatives.

In the history books, there is also a special historical material, that is, when Yuchi Jingde ate, he always cherished food and never wasted it.Because of this, he angered several powerful children. )

Looking at the city wall brick in front of them, Li Shimin and others couldn't help frowning.

"Jingde, where did you get the city wall bricks?"

"It looks quite regular and thick."

"I just don't know if it will work."

"During the reign of Wude, the Supreme Emperor sent people to burn this brick, but it was not strong enough, not to mention costing manpower and money."

"Embarrassment comes in handy."

"I'm afraid this piece of yours will cost a lot to fire, right?"

Hearing this, Yuchi Jingde made a fool of himself.

He directly greeted the guards guarding the gate of the palace, and asked them to try to split the brick with their swords in front of Li Shimin and everyone else.

There are strict restrictions on the imperial guards and guards in the palace.

Hearing Yuchi Jingde's request, the guard was immediately stunned.

They dare not even enter the gate of the palace.

At this time, Yuchi Jingde gave him an angry look, saying that the most powerful generals in the entire Tang Dynasty are here.

Can you, a little guard, turn the world upside down?

At this time, under Li Shimin's opening, the guard slashed hard at the surface of the city wall brick in front of everyone.

Unexpectedly, the bricks of the city wall were intact.

Afterwards, the guard slashed twice with his sword, but the brick of the city wall remained intact.

At most, there are some heavy blow marks on the surface.

Because in the hearts of Li Shimin and everyone else, there was a fixed understanding of the quality of the city wall bricks fired with charcoal.

So such a scene seemed so unreal to them.

At this time, Hou Junji frowned, "Your strength is too weak, replace me!"

Afterwards, everyone saw Hou Junji glaring at him, he swung the sword in his hand and struck down.

The brick of the city wall has only moved a little, but there is still no damage.

"how can that be?"

At this moment, even Hou Junji himself was astonished, and once again broke out, using all the strength in his body.

But the result is still the same.

Chapter 402 This bastard

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't sit still.

He himself got up and tried it.

The result is naturally the same, this city wall brick is extremely strong.

Far beyond everyone's imagination.

All the people present are good at marching and fighting.

Naturally, he knew how important such a solid city wall brick was to a city.

At this moment, Li Shimin shook his head in disbelief.

Then he looked at Yuchi Jingde emotionally.

"Jingde, where did you find these city wall bricks?"

"Who made it?! What is the cost?"

"Find him quickly, such craftsmen and talents are too important."

"If Jingzhou City can be built with such bricks, will their Turkic army still be able to attack me in Chang'an this time?"

At this moment, not only Li Shimin, but also Li Jing, Chai Shao, Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining and others all looked sideways.

Staring at Yuchi Jingde with piercing eyes.

At this time, seeing that his appetite was almost over, Yuchi Jingde chuckled.

"As for the cost of this brick, I don't know the specifics."

"But I don't think it should be too big."

"Right now, there is still a lot of land left unused in the backyard of the Hibiscus Garden."

Hearing his words, Li Shimin and others were shocked, "Furong Garden?"

Cheng Yaojin also laughed and said excitedly at this time: "Isn't it the Furong Garden?"

"Moreover, the craftsmen and students there also used rammed earth and these city wall bricks to build a city wall in the garden that is nearly three feet high and one foot wide at the top."

"The surface of the city wall, from top to bottom, is all made of such city wall bricks."

"When the bow and arrow shoots up, it's just a white spot."

"According to my estimation, if there is an accident in today's battle, then the Turkic army will really start to attack the city."

"Our Chang'an City is broken, and the courtyard walls in the Furong Garden are nothing to worry about!"

At this time, Feng Li quietly added a sentence.

"I heard the soldiers of the Youzhou Army say proudly today that the brick courtyard walls in the Furong Garden are really childish."

"The main city of Youzhou City they newly built last year is nearly six feet high, seven feet wide at the bottom, five feet wide at the top, and more than eight hundred feet long."

"And all of them are made of this kind of city wall bricks."

"Standing on the flat grassland and watching, it looks like a mountain..."

After hearing their words, the old coach Li Jing who was the first to react sighed heavily.

Fang Xuanling opened his mouth, but directly suppressed the next sentence.

And Chai Shao nodded at this moment and said: "In this way, the Turkic spy horse captured by Li Shiji's army."

"He should mean that such a city has already been established in Youzhou."

"Soon, similar cities should be built in Jingzhou and Chang'an."

"At that time, the tribes of their grasslands became fish on the chopping board."

"It's only a matter of time before we go to extinction."

"That's why they were forced to throw all their soldiers in the grassland. They would rather put all their eggs in one basket, and make a desperate fight before we build such a city?!"

Changsun Wuji rubbed his forehead at this moment, "Oh, this bastard, why didn't he tell us about such a big matter?"

"In my opinion, this time, Your Majesty, don't remember any credit for him."

"Just make up for it."

Fang Xuanling said slowly at this time: "Your Majesty, Mr. Grandson, do you still remember the letter that Fan Xing sent us when he arrived in Youzhou?"

"At that time, Fan Xing mentioned many times that the newly built Youzhou City was too strong and majestic."

"The Turkic attack at the beginning of this year must be even more violent."

"At that time, the ministers and others, as well as His Majesty, thought that Fan Xing was to praise the achievements of Li Qiu and Youzhou City."

"But how can I imagine that there is such a meaning in it?!"

Li Shimin also shook his head at this time, amused.

"I remember back then, the territory of Youzhou was invaded by Turks all the year round."

"It's all relying on the Luo family in Youzhou. Old Luo Sen and Kexin girl shoulder this heavy responsibility with difficulty."

"However, our imperial court is incapable of splitting up and can't give them any support."

"I remember that in the past two years, Youzhou City was attacked by the Turks and burned the city."

"But since Li Qiu went to Youzhou, you should carefully count the achievements he has made."

"First, rebuild the Youzhou Army, repel the Turkic invasion, and even hit the hinterland of the grassland."

"Then accepted and fed 10,000+ refugees."

"Now, he has come up with such a Youzhou City that makes all the grasslands frightened."

"With [-] well-equipped Youzhou Xuanjia troops, they solved the siege of the Tang Dynasty."

"Just such a capable minister, my Tang Dynasty has a few more, so why worry about the world's prosperity?"

"Therefore, I must reward him greatly for his achievements!"

"This time, as well as the last siege of the Tang Dynasty, we can only blame our other prefectures and counties, and even our court's incompetence and incompetence!"

"It's no wonder that Li Qiu and You Zhou are on them!"

"I don't believe it anymore. The thirteen prefectures of Youzhou, which are so remote and sparsely populated, can make such dazzling achievements."

"Our Guannei, Dongdu, Shandong area, why can't it work?!"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin then angrily underlined a key point.

"Of course, this bastard Li Qiu's behavior is really hateful."

"If he had informed in advance and built such a city in Jingzhou first, wouldn't there be no danger this time?"

"In my opinion, we should put this kid under our noses so that we can save our worries."

"Otherwise, what kind of trouble can he cause you in the border of Youzhou!"
