Chapter 819 The arrival of the messenger

In front of the official road in Tubo in the southwest, Li Ji had already started to get angry. There were constant landmines on the road, and the forced army suffered a lot of losses, which greatly weakened the confidence of the soldiers. Several groups of mine clearance teams were organized, but the enemy had very well-organized mine burials. You don’t have to doubt it. It must be the countermeasures of the newly-departed Li Mingxin.

Even though Li Ji had a good temper, he couldn't hold back his anger at this time. He thought Bai Fan had sent a helper, but unexpectedly, he sent a great enemy, no less than Li Xinzhong's great enemy. If he sent a memorial to the emperor on the front line, it would be undisputed to say that Bai Fan would be in charge of the enemy.

It is already autumn, and if winter comes, the plateau is cold and cannot fight. However, the attack is not good at present. Even if you ask for help, information transmission will be extremely inconvenient. It will take as fast as 40 days to go back and forth.

The 50,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty wandered in the same place for twenty days. A man came from the camp. He was the messenger sent by Bai Fan, the boss of the gourd widow, and Hong Dali.

"The last general Hong Dali pays homage to the commander."

Hong Dali still has a position in the army, so he dare not be disrespectful when he meets the current top military leader.

When Li Ji saw that it was an old man in the army, he thought it was a reinforcement sent by Bai Fan. He felt a little dissatisfied and nodded and said, "Well, General Hong is coming at the right time. The army is now in a stalemate about the war in Tubo.

It’s the time to need a strong support like you.”

Hong Dali said loudly: "You will report to the Grand Marshal, the last master will be sent by his family..."

Before Hong Dali could finish his words, Li Ji interrupted with a laugh: "Okay, I knew that Jian Zhi was in love with the country. He would not watch the soldiers die and die, nor would he let the thief be rampant..."

Hong Dali was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but interrupt, "Master, the general came over to send a letter to Li Mingxin by his order.

The master has passed down his words, and the disciples of the academy are not allowed to be ill-fried with each other. Therefore, please forgive me. The general will leave after sending the letter and will not be able to participate in the war."

Li Ji felt as if he was stuck in a fishbone in an instant, and he was stunned for a long time, his face turned from red to black, just like dark clouds that were about to roll in the sky.

"presumptuous!

What's the bullshit truth?

Hong Dali, you are bold, I ask you, are you a fifth-rank general in the Tang Dynasty?”

Hong Dali was angry by Li Jiyitong and felt a little embarrassed. This is because Li Ji had a strong relationship with his master. If he had a strange man, he would not be an exaggeration to take down himself directly.

After hesitating for a moment, Hong Dali said weakly: "Return to the Grand Marshal, the last general is a fifth-rank general of the Tang Dynasty."

"Okay, just accept this. Although you don't have armor today, as a general of the Tang Dynasty, you have no choice but to fight in the Tang Dynasty.

This commander is the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty. Now he ordered you to be the vanguard of the front army and be responsible for attacking the main force of the Tubo army. If you do not follow the law, you will be engaged in military law."

Li Ji called out orders, which scared Hong Dali's feet so soft that he said with embarrassment: "But, Grandmaster, Master..."

"Bastard, Bai Fan is just a Sima of the Central Army. Can he order a general?

When you are in the battlefield of the Tang Dynasty, how dare you not obey the orders of your commanders but receive the orders of your private division? Do you know the military law?”

Me, I... Hong Dali felt a little exhausted, and his face turned red and didn't know how to refute it.

"Master, before the last general takes the order, can you report to the master first?"

"No, don't ask for a slowdown. This place is at least forty days away from the Tang Dynasty. When you finish asking for instructions, the fighter will no longer be able to stop.

Besides, I am the Grand Marshal, not the Grand Marshal Bai Fan." Li Ji scolded.

This is why Li Ji bullied Hong Dali and was not good at speaking and forced to arrest the strong men. If Hong Qianli came over, he would definitely be able to exonerate the words.

"No, no, Grandmaster, this time I was ordered by the master to bring you a magical artifact, and I can send you a letter back and forth with my master on the same day."

As he said that, Hong Dali went out to bring a radio station. In order to facilitate front-line command, this thing has already arranged enhanced facilities in Yizhou along the way. Otherwise, if the signal is not good, it may not be transmitted to Chang'an.

Li Ji looked at Hong Dali fiddling with him, questioning the way the telegraph machine worked. When Hong Dali received Bai Fan's reply, Li Ji almost didn't believe it.

After many twists and turns, Hong Dali finally made Li Ji believe in the authenticity of the telegram. Li Ji believed that the first thing he did was to send Bai Fan a long letter of complaint, and Hong Dali sent the newspaper for an hour.

After reading it, Bai Fan frowned. Obviously, he didn't expect that Li Mingxin still had a lot of hidden abilities. After thinking about it over and over again, Bai Fan agreed to leave Hong Dali in front of the army and provide mine clearance methods at the same time. Li Ji was very righteous.

If you want to break the Tubo mine formation, one is to train engineers to slowly clear mines day by day. Obviously, the Tang Dynasty cannot have so much time, and it must attack Tubo before winter comes.

So Li Ji chose an effective method, that is, the Fire Cattle Formation. Since the official road is not wide and the Tubo mines are limited in the sky, he collected a batch of plowing oxen or yaks and blew thunders in front of him. This would effectively clear obstacles and the army would advance smoothly.

Sure enough, after experiencing three minefields, the front was finally safe, and the army rushed straight to the city of Yuxiong.

Without guarding against the Tubo people, the 50,000 army of the Tang Dynasty easily captured Yuxi City. This city, which had been operating for three years, had become somewhat prosperous. After a baptism of opium, it fell into decline again because too many people were infected with drugs.

So Li Ji left 10,000 to defend the city, and sent people to purchase antidote medicines to rectify the drug matters in the city.

The other 40,000 soldiers are very fast, so they push them all the way.

After breaking three cities in a row, Tubo finally became alert. After reacting, Li Xinzhong was furious and took out the 50,000 thunder in stock to defend the thunder and plagiarized the method of assisting the Tang Dynasty's catapult, which made the Tang Dynasty unable to save it.

The two sides were in a confrontation again, and at this time, winter on the plateau was coming, and the mountains were covered with heavy snow, so it was obvious that the war could not be started again.

The military newspaper was transmitted to the palace by telegraph machine. Li Er was very happy. After all, he was a fledgling boy. He was not as good as Li Ji's old man. The defeat of Tubo was decided.

The Li Xinzhong brothers seemed to know that they would lose their lives after a long stay, so they took advantage of the cold four or five months to breathe, and the two stepped up their discussion on the road to life.

"Brother, how much can gunpowder and thunder be built in one winter?"

Li Mingxin shook his head and said, "Tubo is remote here, and its resources are scarce, so the output is not good. Even if we start the maximum manpower and material resources, we can only produce 50,000 thunder in five months."

Li Xinzhong shook his head and said, "No, it's too little, the Tang Dynasty can easily crush us.

It seems that we can't fight hard anymore, we can only increase the tricks, and it just happens to be the harvest of poppy in the new season."

Li Mingxin frowned and advised: "Brother, poppy is too poisonous and hurts the world. Why not think about it again."

"Hmph, pedantic, what does it mean to hurt the sky? Too poison? The sky thunder makes people lose their bones. In terms of poison, we are not as good as Bai Fan.
