Tang's dining table

Li Ji, who was born as a bandit, does not have a strong concept of family and country. He only has a strong concept of race.

Regardless of the fact that the Tibetan envoys were wiped out and the fire on the Xianyang Bridge soared into the sky, these two things seemed to be shocking.

However, when Li Ji later learned that all those who died were Tubo people, he forgot about the matter. At that moment, he only cared about gunpowder, and he didn't care how many Tubo people died.

It's not like he has never killed Tubo people before, so this is nothing to him.

The best thing Yunchu did was to let the imperial court use Xianyang Bridge to get gunpowder.

Therefore, when Li Ji personally tested the power of gunpowder, he was very satisfied. The tragedy that the Tubo people suffered in the Tang Dynasty was almost forgotten.

In his opinion, these two things were of no use except to manipulate Yun Chu.

Li Ji is very sure that Yun Chu will not betray his tribe, and Yun Chu will not harm his tribe. Li Ji is also fully sure of this through four or five years of observation.

As a rare wise man in the world, he has a very vague concept of family and country, and his understanding of the emperor is also very thorough.

Anyway, his tribe always needs an emperor, so it doesn't matter to him who is on top.

What he values ​​​​is the reproduction and development of his tribe.

The rest is not enough to discuss.

Gunpowder is a new thing, and the most experienced person in how to use it is undoubtedly Yun Chu, who has already used it once at Xianyang Bridge.

On the Xianyang Bridge where corpses were strewn all over the place, Li Ji did not look at who was dead. He was silently calculating the lethality of gunpowder.

When he went up to the Xianyang Bridge, he saw the broken bridge pillars, so circles appeared in his head one after another, one circle within another, and the people and horses in the circles were all broken.

Now, he was going to take advantage of the Mohe clan, which was just showing signs of rising, and wanted to see if Yun Chu, with the help of gunpowder, could complete the feat of defeating one against ten.

It was precisely because of gunpowder and a large amount of gunpowder that Li Ji proposed the strategic concept of using 260,000 horses to quell Goguryeo.

Without gunpowder, if the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy a country like Goguryeo, it would have been impossible to accomplish this important task without an army of more than 500,000 people.

To mobilize an army of more than 500,000 people, for Datang, it was almost the power of the entire country.

When Yun Chu returned to the military camp, the flag officer of the Chinese army sent a military order. The content of the military order was very simple - destroy the Mohe tribe!

"It's too urgent. The Mohe tribe is on the left rear side of Gaimou City in Goguryeo. If we don't kill the Goguryeo people, how can we deal with the Mohe tribe?"

After reading the military orders, Wen Wen became a little anxious. He felt that the Chinese army seemed to have given the wrong order of military orders. They should have crossed the Liao River first, captured Xiangping, and then Gaimou, and then it was their turn to destroy the Mohe tribe.

Yun Chu sniffed and said, "This is a military order for us. It does not require us to attack now."

Wenrou quickly picked up the military order and read it again and said with a long breath: "There is no date."

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Xue Rengui took away three days of food and grass, right?"

Wen Wen said: "Take it away. He is so lucky. The Khitan is on our marching route. It is just a matter of convenience to destroy the Khitan."

Wen Wen's envy was justified, and Yun Chu also knew that the reason why they accepted such a bad order was entirely due to themselves.

The army arrived in Youzhou, but did not enter the city. They walked in front of the city gate, accepted the inspection by Li Ji and Youzhou officials, and then headed north.

Qibi Heli's former army marched to Liucheng (today's Chaoyang, Liaoning) and bluffed towards Huaiyuan Town.

However, Li Ji's central army and Gao Kan's rear army secretly advanced northward.

Along the way, Yunchu's investment in Xue Rengui received extremely generous returns.

He got two hundred sheep, twenty horses, ten cows and twelve long-mouthed black pigs.

Some of the sheep were dead and some were alive, and all the pigs were dead. Therefore, while the whole army was resting, Yun Chu asked the soldiers to skin and wash all the sheep and pigs, apply a thick layer of salt, and hang them on the On the barrel of the spear, marching and drying all the way.

In order to prevent being discovered by the army commander, the soldiers deliberately surrounded the soldiers carrying spears to dry the bacon.

Although it doesn't look very good-looking, it is rare meat after all, and the soldiers' hearts are filled with happiness just by looking at it.

In addition, whenever it was time to bury the pot and make rice, the strong aroma of bone soup could always be heard in Yun Chujun.

Qibi Heli's army has completely cleared away the hidden dangers on the way forward for the central and rear armies.

This led Li Ji's army to the small town of Tongding on the edge of the Liao River. The Goguryeo people here still knew nothing about it.

Li Ji seemed to be very familiar with the terrain in this area. The army stopped thirty miles outside the small town of Tongding.

After waiting for half an hour, the Army Sima once again shouted for the entire army to advance.

When Yunchu arrived at the small town of Tongding, he saw the arrogant and domineering Guo Daifeng. This bastard led a team of cavalry, wrapped a thick layer of cotton on the horses' hooves, and rushed forward with lightning speed. Entering the small town of Tongding, which was too late to close the city gate, he fought fiercely with the Goguryeo army at the city gate and within a stick of incense, he beheaded the Goguryeo guard and captured this city, which was more like a dilapidated wooden military stronghold than a city. small town.

When Yun Chu entered the city, he heard Guo Daifeng standing on the top of the city and saying, "Thank you, General Yun, for not having his leg broken."

Seeing that this guy was really fighting hard, Yun Chu cupped his fists on his horse and said, "General Guo is mighty."

Guo Daifeng laughed loudly and said: "Okay, with your words, I don't hate you anymore."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "After we cross the Liao River and you have made another military exploit, Yun will be willing to celebrate your success with a candle."

Guo Daifeng's eyes lit up and he said, "Antitoxic medicine?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "The strongest and most alcoholic anti-toxic medicine!"

Guo Daifeng laughed loudly and said: "Okay, it's a deal!"

After that, he went to show off somewhere else with great arrogance.

Wen Wen looked at Guo Daifeng going away with some envy and said: "I looked down on this guy before, but I didn't expect that when we entered Liaodong, the first one to make meritorious service would be Guo Daifeng."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "I don't know if you have noticed that people who usually have trouble getting through even the smallest things in Chang'an have learned to be humble after going to the battlefield."

Wen Wen rolled her eyes at him and said, "No matter how good we are here, we are all partners now.

They all rely on each other's help to survive. "

Li Ji's army did not stay in the small town of Tongding, but crossed the Liao River on the floating bridge of Tongding Ferry as soon as possible.

The Liao River is almost the largest river second only to the Yellow River that Yunchu had seen in the Tang Dynasty. It was early June at this time, and the spring snowmelt water had already flowed into the Bohai Sea, and the rainy season had not yet arrived. There were mountains on both sides of the place. The constriction makes the river here narrow. Even so, the river is still one mile wide.

Just when Yunchu was about to cross the river, Army Sima sent a military order, asking Yunchu's headquarters to stay in Tongtong for five days and cooperate with the generals to build another pontoon bridge here. After the follow-up baggage team arrived, they would go to Xuantu City. Join the army.

General Lao Huang complained endlessly. In five days, he had to build another pontoon bridge on the Liao River. This would cost him his life.

The craftsmen under his command got a long pole and stood on the pontoon to test the depth of the Liao River. As a result, the two-foot-long pole disappeared and the depth of the Liao River was not tested.

Fortunately, the craftsmen who will be working on it still have some skills, and they quickly made plans to make a box-shaped pontoon.

The so-called box-type pontoon bridge is to use wood to nail many large wooden boxes one foot long and three feet wide, and then use wooden boards and horse nails to connect these boxes. Use the existing pontoon bridge to build another one at least 10 meters below the Liao River. A pontoon that allows baggage to pass quickly.

At this time, it was too late to cut down trees. Fortunately, Tongding Town was a city built with a lot of wood and planks, which was just in use.

Therefore, a very funny scene occurred in the small town of Tongding. The generals and the civilians were demolishing the city, while Yunchu's men were cutting down trees to rebuild the small town.

One is demolishing and the other is building.

In the evening, a city wall had been demolished, but the newly cut wooden piles had not had time to be installed.

Then, a large group of Goguryeo people ran out of the woods shouting and wanted to capture the city again.

At noon, Wen Wen said that although Guo Daifeng had captured the city, it was just because it was a surprise attack that he had not captured all the Goguryeo people here. Just as Lao Huang was worried about repairing the bridge, he proposed to demolish the city wall. Let's test it out to see if the defeated Goguryeo people dare to make a sneak attack.

Yun Chu, who was standing on the top of the city, took a look and saw that the shouting Goguryeo people were still out of the range of their bows and arrows. He turned around and ordered the soldiers to do what they should do and continue doing what they were doing.

Two captains, Captain Zhechong and Zhong Kui, were responsible for the defense. Yun Chu did not believe that they could not deal with these Goguryeo people.

Lao Huang came over with a teapot, poured a cup of tea for Yun Chu and said, "Don't be careless. Goguryeo people have a lot of iron, and their armor is still very good."

Yun Chu looked at Old Huang and said, "You're not afraid at all."

Old Huang glanced at Yun Chu with disdain and said, "Where do you think I got my position as the director of the Palace Gate Bureau?

When Emperor Taizong conquered Goguryeo in the 18th year of Zhenguan, I also participated.

Why do you think the old man who went to the armor store to get the armor is so angry? That's because the people there are all my former subordinates. "

After saying this, Lao Huang stopped talking and stretched his neck to see the battle situation, because Zhong Kui, Zhechong Colonel Wang Defa and others had surrounded these Goguryeo people.

"Hey, your lieutenant general looks ugly and smells bad, but did you see what he looked like in the rebel army?

He is truly a rare warrior.

I can still use it if I catch a little more to survive. "

Yunchu naturally saw everything Old Huang said. Zhong Kui held a sword that could only be held with two hands, and took the lead in breaking through the Goguryeo spear array. He just used his flesh and blood to open a gap in the front, and then, under his subordinates, Surrounded by people, they fought all the way inward.

Looking at the sight of flesh and blood flying everywhere, Yun Chu truly understood the true meaning of the word "Thousands of armies to defeat Yi".
