Chapter 499 Bank of the Weishui River ([-])

"How many people do you have left?" Li Er asked this question the first time he saw Yunhao.Because at this moment, Yun Hao's face was covered with dust.His hair was even more gray, and it fell off as he walked.In such a situation, who said that Yun Hao hadn't gone through a fierce battle, Li Er would strangle him to death.

Everyone is precious now, let alone the elite Zuo Wuwei.If the negotiation fails, they will be the main force to defend Chang'an.

Yun Hao didn't know what to say, there were dozens of casualties in this battle.They are all fucking idiots who don't follow the operating procedures and want to see what the new weapon is.Either he ignited the rocket and stood watching from the side, or he ran two steps away thinking he was standing far enough, and then watched the flames burn happily.

Those who stood beside were burnt to charcoal, and those who stood further away are still howling on stretchers.It is estimated that even if he is alive, that face is neither human nor ghost.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Turks suffered more than [-] casualties in this battle. This is the head of the enemy chief Ashina!" Seeing Yun Hao, who didn't know what to say, Master Sheng Yan stood up holding Ashina's head .

"How about the casualties of our army?" Li Er insisted on asking the question he was most concerned about. As for the aggressive head, he just glanced at it.Now Li Er is most afraid of hearing the words "total annihilation". The more enemies he kills, the more damage he will suffer.

"Our army has a total of 68 casualties!"

"Sixty...eight people?" Li Er's jaw almost fell to the ground, killing more than 3 people.Even the head of the enemy's chief general was brought back, and he only suffered 68 casualties. Isn't that true?

Li Er is also a famous general in hundreds of battles, he doesn't believe a word of Master Sheng Yan's words.Looking at Yun Hao with piercing eyes, it would be too sad if Yun Hao lied to him too.

"Originally, there were no casualties, but the soldiers were full of curiosity about the new weapons. As a result, there were 68 casualties!" Yun Hao said helplessly.

"This...!" Li Er didn't know what to say, and killed more than 3 enemies.Its own casualties were 68, and these people were not killed by the enemy.To be precise, these people are not lost to war injuries, but to safety accidents.

Master Sheng Yan who was on the side hastily narrated the battle, and when Li Er heard the explosion, he was fascinated immediately.After leading the army to fight for many years, how could Li Er not know what the battle was all about.But this was the first time he had heard of such a battle.

"If we use this method of warfare, can we kill the [-] Turkic army?" Li Er asked excitedly.

"Your Majesty, there is no other way. This is a one-off launch. It has consumed the academy's gunpowder inventory for two years, and now there is not even a catty of gunpowder left in the academy." Yun Hao said helplessly.

Gunpowder is a good thing, although the nitric acid explosive was made by Yunhao.The output has increased to a certain extent, but due to the limitation of materials and manpower, it has not been so high as to be casual.This time Yunhao used up [-] catties of gunpowder at one time, but he really used up all the gunpowder.

Moreover, in order to prepare enough boosters, Yun Hao almost plundered the entire Chang'an city for sugar.Even the imperial kitchen in Li Er's palace was not spared.

"Uh...!" Li Er shook his head helplessly.If Xieli's [-] troops can really be killed this time, Datang will not have to worry about Turkic side troubles for at least ten years.

The Turkic people have violated the frontier all the time, only in recent years have suffered the most casualties.So, the scale of the invasion is decreasing year by year.From the initial 40 million people at every turn, now only 10,000+ people can be gathered together.If the arrogance of the Turkic people is suppressed this time, they will be able to freely free their hands to deal with the Koreans.Or deal with those warlords who belonged to them at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

"Tang Jian, you go! However, the conditions need to be changed. Datang is willing to pay one million guan in silk, and refuses all other requests." After winning the battle, Li Er gained confidence in his heart.It seems that during this period of time he has already started contact with Xieli.

Yunhao does not intend to participate in the next thing, and the only hope now is the success of the peace talks.Otherwise, Datang would be powerless to prevent Xieli from looting Guanzhong.In field battles on the plains, the cavalry is king.Without gunpowder, the Tang army was powerless against the fierce prairie cavalry.

"Uncle Xiong, you are really good. You can shoot Turkic people from such a distance, teach me...!" As soon as I got home, I saw Gou Zi begging Xiong Kuo Hai's sleeve.

When the sun just crossed the horizon, Xieli came to the battlefield in yesterday.The fiery red sun made the battlefield even bloodier.Countless wolves, foxes, wild dogs, and even rats criss-crossed the shattered corpses.As for the crows like black clouds in the sky, they were even more disturbed by the "croak" and "croak".

The Weishui River has become a huge morgue, and it is also the best place for carnivores to find food.Jieli even found a group of humming wild boars among the animals attending the feast.

These beasts were eating, and what they were eating was the Turkic warriors under their command.I have never seen such a battlefield before, and I have never seen a single enemy's corpse. Looking around, the corpses of my own people seem to have spread to the end of the earth.

All the corpses are broken, and it is considered complete to have an arm and leg connected to the torso.There was a disgusting smell in the air, the product of the smell of corpses mixed with the smell of blood.Just one sip will make people's brain hurt.

"Khan, the envoy from the Tang people has arrived." Qi Bihe walked to Jie Li's side and bowed.

"Messenger!" Jieli turned his head and glanced at Qibiheli, it took him a long time to wake up from the shock in front of him.It must be something called gunpowder, no other weapon can do damage on this scale.There was a trace of pain in Xieli's eyes. The eagle on the grassland will never be able to soar in the Han land again.

"The envoy go back! Tell him to let Li Shimin talk to me. He is not qualified!" Xie Li let out a sigh of relief, it is time for a proper talk.With so many corpses, he really didn't have the courage to continue attacking.The Ashina family wanted to rule the grassland and throw their family property under the city of Chang'an. Xie Li knew how miserable the consequences would be.

Talk to Li Shimin, whatever you can get.In short, you can return to the grassland decently, and then cultivate your health and rest, waiting for another chaos in the Central Plains.For thousands of years, the Han people have always had civil strife.Xieli believes that as long as he waits patiently, he still has a chance to come to Chang'an City again.

Li Er was surprised by Tang Jian's return. He didn't expect that Jieli would ask to see him by name.Could this be a trap?
"Your Majesty! There may be fraud in this matter! If Jieli sets up an ambush, His Majesty's safety may not be guaranteed. Please think again, Your Majesty!" Du Ruhui was the first to jump out to object.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Turkic people are as ruthless as jackals. If they have any intention of plotting against His Majesty, it will be difficult to guarantee His Majesty's safety!" Fang Xuanling then jumped out.

"My minister seconded the proposal! Your Majesty must not go to meet Jieli!" Changsun Wuji also stood up, and the emperor's brother-in-law must not be in any danger.The eldest grandson's lineage is now counting on the wealth brought by Li Er.

"Minister! Second!"

"Minister! Second!"

……

A large group of courtiers jumped out to oppose, and the rebellion had just succeeded.He also pointed out that you, an old man, will get promoted and make a fortune to ensure wealth for the rest of his life, and now you are going to do such a dangerous thing.In case you can't come back and hang up, brother, where are you going to cry.The discussion in the hall was buzzing, humming, buzzing, as if ten thousand flies had crawled in.

Li Er looked at these courtiers, he didn't know that this meeting by the Weishui River was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.But he really can't help it, if he doesn't negotiate with Xieli.Jieli will see the weak nature of Tang Dynasty. Even if the gunpowder workshop in the academy is exhausted to prepare gunpowder, it will only produce one hundred and ten catties a day.A hundred catties of gunpowder is a fart against an army of 10,000+.

Allowing the Turkic people to poison Guanzhong is the road to national subjugation.It is impossible for Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji to fail to see the danger, but they still chose to prevent themselves from going to the Weishui River.Family interests are sometimes higher than national interests.

After all, since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the emperor has been changing constantly.God knows how many years their Li family can sit in this country.But the family needs to inherit, and in many cases, people's loyalty to the family is far greater than their loyalty to the emperor.

Sometimes things are just so weird.Obviously everyone cares about your safety, but in fact they are harming you.What he said were all words of concern, and he had dark thoughts in his heart.The believer listens, but the listener is still unbelievable!Only now did Li Er understand the true meaning of this sentence.

"I feel that Your Majesty should go to Weishui River to meet Jieli for a while." A discordant voice suddenly appeared amidst the concerned words.Everyone stopped talking, and all eyes were on this ignorant person.

Mice in the soup pot, boogers in the rice.He was talking about people like Wei Zheng, who was a prisoner two months ago and now stands in front of Danxi while holding a wat board and wearing a purple robe.Many people couldn't figure out how this guy who once planned to kill the current emperor survived until today.

"Hmm...! Xuancheng, tell me, why did I go to the Weihe River to meet Jieli." Li Er's majestic voice sounded from above, and the guys who were about to question Wei Zheng immediately retreated.

"Report to Your Majesty! Your Majesty is a body of gold, and you should not take risks lightly. But now, the most important thing is to prevent the Turkic army from poisoning Guanzhong. Once Guanzhong suffers a military disaster, the family fortune accumulated by the imperial court for ten years will not Existence. When the time comes, what will be used to support the imperial court's counter-insurgency in Hebei? And what will be used to deter those demons and monsters in the world.

Your majesty holds the king in his mouth, and the burden of the country is tied to his majesty.Since you are the lord of the world, it is your Majesty's responsibility to protect the people of the world.Your Majesty is here to do his duty. "

"Nonsense!" Xu Jingzong jumped out and shouted loudly.
