Bring Hokage to Datang

"What?!" In the main hall of the county militia camp, everyone was shocked when they heard Xue Wanche's words as he walked in.

Even Li Chengming, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't help but look solemn when he heard the news brought by Xue Wanche. He looked at Xue Wanche and said, "Are you sure you heard correctly?"

"Yes, Your Highness, after we left Wannian County, the general left a hundred scouts around Wannian County and asked them to inquire about the news about Chang'an. This information was obtained by one of the scouts. If not If something unexpected happens, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Gong and others may have already left Chang'an and will be approaching Wannian County." Xue Wanche half-knelt on the ground with a solemn expression on his face.

Li Chengming frowned. This matter is indeed a bit tricky. He currently has only about soldiers and horses. What's more, among these people, the ones who can be called elite are those who were previously controlled by Hou Junji. Less than a thousand people were captured, and the rest were only some militiamen recruited from the militia groups in Wannian County and this Hui County.

Compared with the real elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, there is still a big gap between these militiamen. What's more, the difference in strength is too great. I am afraid that if the other party rushes into formation, our side will be directly defeated.

"Huh? No!" However, at this moment, Li Chengming suddenly came to his senses, and an idea flashed in his mind. Then he looked at Xue Wanche and said, "Xue Wanche, you know more about the military strength in Chang'an. How many soldiers do you think there are in Chang'an?" Horse?"

Hearing Li Chengming's question, Xue Wanche was startled for a moment, and then said, "Back to your highness, the main force in Chang'an is the Sixteenth Guards Northern Army. The Sixteenth Guards and Horses are guarding Chang'an. The Northern Army is guarding the imperial city. The Sixteenth Guards and Horses are in Chang'an." There are only about people around, while the Northern Army has about people."

The Northern Army is also known as the Sixth Army of Beiya, namely the Left and Right Yulin Army, the Left and Right Longwu Army and the Left and Right Shenwu Army, all of which are the emperor's personal guards.

From this, we can see how dangerous Li Shimin was when he launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident. You must know that Li Shimin could only mobilize hundreds of troops in Chang'an at that time, but he could actually attack the imperial city defended by tens of thousands of people. , rushed into the palace in one fell swoop, and hijacked Li Yuan. Without a long-term plan, how could such a thing happen?

Of course, this is only the troops and horses within the scope of Chang'an. As the capital of a country, there are naturally troops and horses surrounding the capital to defend the capital, including the surrounding Puzhou, Tongzhou, Huazhou, Qizhou, Jiangzhou, and Henan Prefectures. The total number of cavalry is more than , and the total strength is , accounting for a quarter of the entire Tang Dynasty.

"In this way, even if Li Shimin has all the troops and horses in Chang'an in his hands, they are only about . In such a short period of time, it is impossible for Li Shimin to send troops from other places. So, tell me, Li Shimin might Ignoring the emptiness of Chang'an, will you send most of your troops to deal with me?" Li Chengming blinked, his eyes moved, and he looked at Xue Wanche, Luo Ning and others below.

Hearing what Li Chengming said, Xue Wanche and others, who had been a little flustered after hearing the news, suddenly felt at ease and immediately came to their senses. 35xs

Yes, there are only about soldiers and horses in the entire Chang'an. This time, Li Shimin didn't personally lead the expedition, so how could he leave most of the soldiers and horses to Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Gong?

"Your Highness is wise!" Xue Wanche half-knelt on the ground, looked at Li Chengming in admiration, clasped his fists and said, "The general was confused when he heard the news just now. After hearing what His Highness said, the general suddenly realized that it seems that there is indeed a fraud in this matter. ."

"Get up first!" Looking at Xue Wanche who was still kneeling on the ground, Li Chengming asked him to get up first, then shook his head and said, "However, although this matter is fraudulent, I feel that Li Shimin cannot send too few troops. People come to die. This time, even if there are not people here, there are probably or ."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" We have both sent out together with Yuchi Gong, so we must be well prepared this time."

"Your Highness, we don't have many soldiers and horses in our hands, and the city wall here in Huixian County is too low and not suitable for defense. The general feels that we should retreat temporarily to avoid its sharp attack and wait until enough soldiers and horses are gathered before making plans." Xue Wanche thought for a moment, then cupped his fists and suggested to Li Chengming.

Hearing Xue Wanche's words, Li Chengming just smiled lightly, turned his head and looked at Luo Ning, who had been silent on the other side, and said, "Luo Ning, what do you think?"

"Your Highness, I have no idea. If Your Highness lets me go, I will leave. If I let you fight, I will fight! I will obey His Highness's orders in everything." Luo Ning was clean and stood up and said directly.

Hearing Luo Ning's words, Xue Wanche next to him couldn't help but frown slightly. He always felt that there was something in Luo Ning's words.

Li Chengming, who was sitting in the main seat, just smiled lightly after listening to Luo Ning's words. It was obvious that compared to a general like Xue Wanche, Luo Ning had not yet left his original identity as a guard of the East Palace.

We can't say that Luo Ning's idea is bad, nor can we say that Xue Wanche is bad. After all, everyone has a different identity and naturally has different ideas.

As the saying goes, the butt determines the head? !

Li Chengming smiled calmly, then looked at Xue Wanche and said, "Xue Wanche, what happened to the king's previous request for you to recruit craftsmen to build a stone dumping truck?"

Xue Wanche didn't know why Li Chengming suddenly asked about this matter, and he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Back to Your Highness, the general has summoned about two hundred craftsmen from Huixian County according to His Highness's instructions and is urgently building a stone trebuchet. In addition, In addition, the general also found more than riprap trucks in the equipment warehouse of Huixian County. After the craftsmen looked at them, these riprap trucks only need a little repair before they can be used."

"More than trebuchets?!" After hearing Xue Wanche's words, Li Chengming nodded slightly, and then said, "It should be almost done. Go and ask those people to repair it immediately. Also, go to Huixian County to summon some blacksmiths. For the craftsman of the shop, I need as many nails, iron fragments, etc. as possible, and by the way, I also need to collect some pots of any size."

"This...is, Your Highness!" After listening to Li Chengming's instructions, a flash of hesitation flashed across Xue Wanche's face, but in the end he clasped his fists and accepted the order.

"By the way, these things are not worth much, so we can use the money we got from Wannian County to buy them. We are not allowed to disturb the people and cause trouble. Do you hear me?" Li Chengming thought of something else and looked at Xue Wanche's instructions. road.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Xue Wanche said, cupping his fists.

"Well, go ahead and come over again after you finish this matter. I will let you look at something. Then you can decide whether to fight or run. How about that?" Li Chengming looked at Xue Wanche calmly and said with a smile.

Hearing Li Chengming's words, Xue Wanche was startled, and then his expression flickered with curiosity. Thinking of the magic of the Runan County King who seemed to be an immortal descended from the earth before, his originally worried heart seemed to calm down a little. Once again, After bowing and saying "yes", he hurried away.

Looking at Xue Wanche's leaving figure, Li Chengming's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said to Luo Ning, "Luo Ning, go get someone to bring some ground saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal powder."
