Chapter 1928: The Great Food Country (Part 1)
Cui Yu didn't know what Qin Qiong had talked with her immediate boss, but judging from her performance, she was obviously convinced.
This Yi Duke of the Tang Dynasty followed Li Shimin to fight south and north, and he would inevitably strive for the first place in every battle. His loyalty to the Tang Dynasty can be said to be unquestionable. It is obviously not easy to convince him.
However, Lao Qin did not seem to want to mention this matter. It has always been unfathomable to Cui Yu. As for him, Lao Cui had no good idea about it, so he had to let it go in the end.
In the South China Sea of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had already woken up, but because he was too sad about Qin Qiong's death, the old man's mental state was not very good.
Li You has been with the old man these days, listening to the old man sitting there telling him about the ancients and how Qin Qiong was like. Although Li Xiaowu had already heard these things, his ears were almost out of calluses, considering the old man's mood, he still listened patiently.
Old Yuchi seemed to be unable to accept Qin Qiong's death, so he locked himself in a tent for several days. When he came out, he seemed to be much more energetic, but he was a little puzzled.
Changsun Wuji has been dealing with the prisoners of the Great Food. Tens of thousands of prisoners of war were not something they could take away, and letting them stay alone was not a solution. So in the end, all of these prisoners of war were killed by artillery.
About ten days later, Li Shimin's spirit finally recovered completely, at least on the surface.
The first thing the old man did after he recovered was to board the ship. The two fleets merged into one and headed north. After completing the supply offshore near the Tang Dynasty, the mysterious Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Baoqi brought four warships to protect Empress Changsun and returned home. The other twenty steel warships directly switched to Malacca under the supervision of Li Shimin, crossing the strait and heading for Dashi.
In Li Shimin's dictionary, there is no endurance at this time, and the weather is calm for a while, and the sea and the sky are wide open.
After learning from Li You that Li Chengqian had sent Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji to the Western Regions, Li Er lost his scruples and urged Li You to speed up.
Once upon a time, Li Shimin was the emperor. No matter what he did, someone would impeach or advise. At that time, Old Li was particularly envious of Li Chengqian because that kid could do whatever he wanted. Anyway, in the end, he was like me, who wiped his butt.
Nowadays, Lao Li is no longer the emperor, and he can finally realize his dream back then: do whatever he wants!
As for the trouble that happened afterwards, the little bastard could just wipe his butt. This is called June's account being paid quickly, and it also let the little bastard know how painful it was for his father back then.
Time was spent little by little during the boring voyage, but fortunately, the place in Tianzhu was already the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and Lao Li's fleet was not short of supplies, and the daily food was no longer so monotonous. It could be regarded as the only comfort in boredom.
More than half a month later, the old man's fleet crossed the border between India and Shi and appeared in the Dashi Sea. The huge steel warship and the high-flying Tang military flag were like a huge shark entering the sardines.
Countless fishing boats of Dashi tried their best to escape, but in the end they were crushed to pieces by the steel warships. Countless fishing fishermen prayed that their own fleet could come to save them, but they did not know that their country's fleet had been wiped out on the South China Sea and could never come back to save them.
As the old man's warship gradually penetrated, the court of the Dashi Kingdom began to fall into panic.
To the east, on the border with the Tianzhu Road of the Tang Dynasty, there were hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers waiting for the Tang Dynasty; to the west, on the vast sea, there were twenty steel warships of the Tang Dynasty showing off their power; to the north, there was a Tang army standing between Dashi and Byzantium.
What to do? How to deal with it? Countless cannibals began to regret their original decision. Why did the ghost-willed person who was so obsessed with wanting to provoke the neighbor around him? If he had known that this neighbor was so warlike, he should have surrendered early.
...
Cheng Yaojin had already received news from Chang'an a few days ago, and the news of Qin Qiong's death almost made Old Cheng collapse.
There were not many people in the Tang Dynasty and the country, and there were not many people who had a good relationship with Lao Cheng. In addition to Niu Jinda, the brother who had robbed the emperor, he was Qin Qiong, the best friend who grew up together when he was a child.
Now my childhood best friend has actually gone first, which makes Lao Cheng withstand such a blow. If it weren't for his two sons, Lao Cheng would have been suffocated to death by a mouthful of blood stasis on the spot.
On this day, Lao Cheng finally recovered from his grief and immediately issued an order to reorganize the army. All the generals who followed him to fight were concentrated in his commander's tent.
"Generals, I believe you all know what the great cannibal did in the South China Sea?" Old Cheng's face was gone without the cynical expression of laughter and cynical expression on his face, replaced by a bloodthirsty hideous ferociousness.
"The last general knows that everything will be followed by the general's arrangement!" The generals in the tent were also full of anger and had been waiting for Lao Cheng to issue the final general attack order.
"Okay, since that's the case, the departments will stop practicing today and go back to rest for a day. Wait for the morning of tomorrow, and go out with me and don't flatten the big food. We will not return to the army!"
"Yes! The last one will wait to obey the order!"
There was no pre-war mobilization, nor was there a wonderful speech. Lao Cheng was so direct and unreasonable. As his subordinate, you could have your own opinions, but there was no need to say them out because Lao Cheng would not listen at all, especially at this moment.
However, this time, the veterans who came out with Lao Cheng were all the veterans at that time, and no one had anything to do with Qin Qiong. After learning about Lao Qin's death in battle, everyone was filled with indignation and wished they could lead their troops into Dashi immediately.
In this way, hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the border between Tianzhu Road and Dashi started to move. Each of the ordinary soldiers ran 60 bullets, and all five iron pineapples were distributed overnight; the Zhenguan cannon with a firing distance of more than 10,000 steps was lifted up; the rocket troops were all broken up and assigned to various combat teams.
Almost overnight, the originally calm Tang army camp became murderous.
The next morning, with the sound of horns, hundreds of thousands of troops came out of the camp one after another, and divided into several groups to enter the territory of Dashi.
The big cannibals stationed on the border were almost crazy. They had never thought that the Tang Dynasty would suddenly attack them without any warning. When they were ready and lined up to leave the camp, countless shells had already smashed into the crowd like fire meteors.
Almost instantly, the cannibal military camp was covered with fire, and countless soldiers were surrounded by fire because of panic and were eventually burned to death. Less than half of them could escape.
