Zheng Peng didn't explain too much, just did what he did to Gao Lishi yesterday again, and with the sound of two explosions, all the doubts of Guo Ziyi and others disappeared.

If Gao Lishi was here, he would definitely not be ashamed of his gaffe yesterday, and Song Chong, a guerrilla general known for his hard bones, was caught off guard and sat on the ground in fright by the sound of the explosion, not to mention how embarrassed he was.

Guo Ziyi, Cui Xiyi and Lu Jin were also so shocked by the scene in front of them that they didn't speak for a long time.

Half a ring, it was Guo Ziyi who came back to his senses first, and said convincingly: "Just now I felt that there were only 8,000 people, and I dared to fight some cities, and I felt that the general was too light on the enemy. ”

Defeated and captured, Zheng Peng used the cement formula to exchange it back, Guo Zi didn't say anything on his face, but he was very self-blaming in his heart, when he trained the four armies of Ximen for Zheng Peng, he was diligent and diligent, and he didn't dare to relax at all, so he wanted to atone for his sins as soon as possible, and every time he thought that Tubo would get the cement, the defense would double, the pressure on the Tang Dynasty would increase, and he would increase a lot of damage during the battle.

With gunpowder, cement is a papier-mâché tiger, and Tubo, which is confident that it will sleep peacefully with cement, will pay a heavy price.

"My good girl" Cui Xiyi rubbed his face vigorously, and after confirming once again that it was not a dream, he rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "I thought the general was bored and had fun in the back mountain, no, it should be to use action to make the Tubo thieves relax their vigilance, but I didn't expect the general to make such a powerful weapon of murder silently, I just can't believe it, by the way, some time ago, I occasionally heard a rumbling sound, not like drum music, nor like muffled thunder, it has been strange, now I think about it, it is the movement of this thing." ”

Lu Jin patted Song Chong, who was sitting on the ground, and said, "General Song, are you okay?" ”

"Don't, don't, with General Zheng here, how dare you call me a general, just call me Xiao Song." After Song Chong finished speaking, he respectfully saluted Zheng Peng: "General Zheng, obey, his subordinates are really, thoroughly, and in the future, General Zheng will call a certain person to the east, never to the west, but General Zheng is the first to look forward." ”

I always thought that I would guard the west gate here, and when I heard Zheng Peng say that he wanted to take Tubo and plant the military flag on the wall of Luoqi City, Song Chong thought in his heart that Zheng Peng was not ashamed, he didn't know the height of the sky, and after witnessing the power of gunpowder, he was shocked by Zheng Peng.

This time it can be regarded as the right person, and following General Zheng to attack the city of Luo, what a great military merit and what a great glory, just thinking about it is too beautiful.

The so-called curse of Tubo is actually the altitude sickness that General Zheng said, and the Ximen Fourth Army is the only army that overcomes altitude sickness, which means that the Ximen Fourth Army is the absolute main force attacking Tubo.

Zheng Peng couldn't help but feel a little satisfied in his heart, but he still said without changing his face: "Today is for you to get to the bottom and let everyone have a psychological preparation, but the time to attack Tubo has not yet come, what you just saw, you must keep it secret, understand?" ”

Guo Ziyi, Cui Xiyi, Lu Jin and Song Chong are all people who think very highly of themselves, it is already great to be able to convince them one by one, and he can make the four of them happy and convinced, Zheng Peng is really a little proud in his heart.

"General Zheng" Lu Jin said a little anxiously: "The soldiers are ready to completely overcome altitude sickness, and now that they have such a sharp weapon in their hands, is it not yet time?" ”

Lu Jin was an anxious man, Zheng Peng painted a grand picture for him, and he wanted to immediately gather his troops and horses and go straight to Tibet.

Cui Xiyi said angrily: "Yes, with this artifact, the Tubo thief is a local chicken and a dog, I am afraid that he will do anything, as long as the general gives an order, the Ximen Right Army will be the vanguard, and directly take the head of the Tubo Zampu's neck." ”

"Use a knife to kill chickens, General Cui, this kind of trivial matter, the Ximen Left Army can do it for you." Song Chong immediately made a statement.

I just heard General Zheng say that gunpowder can not only be used for long-range attacks, but also in close combat, Song Chong thinks that he is a person who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground when he faced the gunpowder explosion for the first time.

The first to lead most of the troops to attack Tibet, who doesn't want this honor?

When Lu Jin heard this, he hurriedly jumped out and said loudly: "Who doesn't know that the actions of the front army of the West Gate are as fast as lightning, the front army is the vanguard army, if you fight Tibet, the vanguard army must be the front army of the West Gate." ”

Song Chong is shrewd, Lu Jin is not stupid, not to mention that he was captured in the breakout, he has always felt uncomfortable, as if his career and prestige have been overshadowed, and he has been waiting for the opportunity to be ashamed.

It's not even started, so it's up for grabs.

Seeing that the three of them were still arguing, Zheng Peng hurriedly spoke: "Okay, don't rob it, I said that I will get through the bottom first, so that you can be prepared, the time has not yet come, what is the hurry, there is an opportunity to make meritorious service at that time." ”

Lu Jin asked a little anxiously: "General, why is it not yet the time, when is the time?" ”

Zheng Peng smiled and said, "What, do you really want to take Tubo with 8,000 people?" ”

"Eight thousand people is a little less, but with a magic weapon like gunpowder, nothing is impossible." Lu Jin said confidently.

Song Chong, who has always been steady, also said: "Eight thousand is a little less, but you can fight." ”

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said: "The gunpowder has been made, but it still needs to be improved, at least in terms of safety, you have also seen the power, it is cool to blow up the enemy, but if you hurt your own people, then you will be very happy and sad, this is one of them." ”

"Second, we must give the soldiers time to familiarize themselves with gunpowder, so that they can use it skillfully on the battlefield, not only people, but also horses, have you noticed, when the explosion sounded, our horses tied to the distance kept neighing, rushing around, not fastened, and now they can't be found, if they appear on the battlefield, no one knows how to end up; Finally, 8,000 people are still a bit thin, and we still need help. ”

The battlefield is changing rapidly, Zheng Peng's thinking is to think in the good direction, and plan in the bad direction, 8,000 people say a lot less, but more is really not much, especially Tubo has a million people who control the strings, the Tang army is not familiar with the terrain of Tubo, and if you are not careful, you will give the enemy a chance to breathe.

There are less than two years left, if you can't hit it with one blow, I am afraid that the military order will not be completed as scheduled, what Zheng Peng has to do now is to increase the chances of victory as much as possible.

Afghanistan as an example, the United States, known as the world's number one military power, has invested so much manpower and material resources to deal with Afghanistan, which is completely backward in terms of economy, politics, and military.

Tibet has few products and a harsh natural environment, but it can become a famous power in the Western Regions, and it is by no means a waste of fame.

Besides, the road to Tibet is not smooth, the Tang army is on an expedition, and the battle line is extended, once the supply is not available or the supply is cut off, it will be a catastrophe.

"It's still the general's thoughtfulness" Lu Jin saluted respectfully: "It must be all according to the general's orders." ”

Cui Xiyi: They also expressed understanding and obedience.

Guo Ziyi said happily: "No wonder the general has always encouraged Xiao Bolu to recruit troops and horses, and secretly raised weapons for them, so it turned out that they had the idea of beating them early in the morning." ”

Zheng Peng didn't hide it, nodded and said: "Although Xiao Bolu is a small country, it can exist by Tubo's side for so long, in addition to the left and right, the combat power cannot be ignored, and they are natural plateau warriors, they must be pulled up." ”

Xiao Bolu's soldiers, just can't be the main force, it's not bad to cover up, escort prisoners, and provide some logistical support, they live in the plateau area, and they can be put into use directly without training.

"It's still a general," Song Chong said with admiration: "It's like a game (in ancient times, playing Go was a game), we only thought about it, and the general had already thought of a few steps away, even if he didn't accept it." ”

Zheng Peng laughed: "Okay, don't pat yourself on the back, it's rare to be so happy today, you will set up a banquet in the private house, everyone has a few drinks, these days, you have been training hard in the camp, Ben will sing and dance in the back mountain, you didn't say it, I don't know how many times I scolded Ben Jiang in my heart, no need to scold behind my back, let's enjoy it together." ”

Song Chong's face turned red, and he said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "The general misunderstood, and his subordinates will never dare to criticize the general behind his back." ”

Talking about superiors in vain, this is also a violation of military rules, Song Chong scolded a lot behind his back, but where did he dare to admit it at this time.

"No need to explain, explanation is to cover up, cover up is no use, I will see it clearly with a telescope in the back mountain, you roll your eyes and point at the back mountain on weekdays, by the way, General Song, I remember that during the lunch break two days ago, you pointed in the direction of the back mountain and shouted a few times, and spit hard, right, right."

Song Chong's face was stunned, and he wanted to say something for a while, so he had to cough a few times.

Seeing Song Chong's embarrassed look, Cui Xiyi laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Song, it's okay, General Zheng is broad-minded, don't count these, to be honest, it's not just you, it's so, there are also the soldiers of the Fourth Army of Ximen, there are a few people who didn't criticize behind their backs, I used to think that General Zheng used his power for personal gain and made things special, but now I think about it, we misunderstood him, it's okay, when you drink for a while, drink a few more drinks to make amends." ”

"Okay, good, good, let it go, I'll keep drinking it as soon as I meet at the meeting, and the general won't let go of the cup if he doesn't stop, and he will never cheat." Song Chong connected dim sum.

It's rare for someone to help you out.

Lu Jin loudly debunked: "Xiao Song, you are too cunning, who in the army doesn't know that you love wine as much as your life, General Zheng's wine is all good wine, you are deliberately looking for a reason to drink more, look how glorious you say." ”

Song Chong's little abacus in his heart was exposed, and he didn't speak, just laughed.

Anyway, his face couldn't be more red, and he didn't care about being laughed at.

Zheng Peng was about to beckon everyone back to his private house in the back mountain, when suddenly someone shouted: "General Zheng, General Zheng." ”

When I looked up, I saw Hu Weihai, the captain of the guard, riding a horse running from afar, shouting loudly as he ran, looking very anxious.

"Say, what's the matter?" As soon as Hu Weihai got off the horse, Zheng Peng didn't wait for him to catch his breath, and immediately asked.

This is a gunpowder test area, and it is also a top-secret area, nothing important, Hu Weihai will not run here without permission, something big must have happened.

Guo Ziyi and Cui Xiyi on the side also became inexplicably urgent, for fear that something would happen in the camp, so they stared at Hu Weihai together.

Hu Weihai hurriedly said: "Back to the general, the county lord has something urgent, let you go to her as soon as possible." ”

Didn't something happen to the barracks?

Zheng Peng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some dissatisfaction: "The county lord will be fine one day, I see that you are in a hurry." ”

Lan Duo led her bird slaves to the camp of the Four Armies of Ximen to train the spirit eagle, and also partnered with Zheng Peng to engage in the trade of land and salt, life was very nourishing, and they got along very well, and the turning point in the relationship between the two appeared when Zheng Peng built a private house in the back mountain.

Zheng Peng built a private house, and Lan Duo had no opinion, but she expressed strong dissatisfaction with Zheng Peng's refusal to let her visit the private house, and repeatedly tried to break into the back mountain under the pretext that Zheng Peng was optimistic about her good sisters Lu Shu and Lin Xun'er, but Zheng Peng resolutely refused, so that the relationship between the two sides was in an emergency.

Suddenly so anxious to find yourself, in a hurry?

Was there a problem with the private salt, or did the finch slave train the spirit eagle?

Hu Weihai wiped the sweat on his face, and said helplessly: "The county lord said that this matter is very, very, very important, if it is delayed, even the two heads will not be able to bear it, so, so"

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said, "Got it, Hu Teamzheng, you take General Guo and them to Tingfeng Pavilion to listen to the music first, and I will go to meet this county lord for a while to see what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd." ”

"Obey!"

Soon, the group rode on horses and whipped to Zheng Peng's private house.

"Hu Teamzheng, what's the news from the finch slave? Is it out? ”

I don't know what Lan Duo is so anxious to do with herself, Zheng Peng first collects some information.

Hu Weihai thought for a while, and quickly said: "It's not very clear, but the bird slave has been away from the camp for more than half a month, and it is said that there is an eagle that has been trained well, and it is necessary to take it outside to be tested, maybe he will really be trained out." ”

After a pause, Hu Weihai added: "I have to say, that finch slave, the eagle training is really good, and the eagle is so obedient to train those eagles, and he brings back so many prey every day, and he can't finish eating it and gives it to his brothers, and the small ones are also stained with a lot of light." ”

Guo Ziyi, who has always rarely spoken, couldn't help but speak out when he heard the words: "It is indeed a strange person, how arrogant and fierce an eagle, when he comes to his hands, he is more obedient than his son. ”

"Yes, yes." Cui Xiyi said with a smile: "If the county lord is willing to cut his love and sell the bird slaves, he is willing to pay a thousand gold, no, ten thousand gold." ”

Everyone was riding horses, talking loudly, when they were about to arrive at the barracks, they were divided into two, Hu Weihai took the four of them to rest first, listen to music, and celebrate for a while, as for Zheng Peng, he ran straight to the barracks to see what happened to Lan Duo looking for himself so urgently.
