Li Shimin sent people to pull grain and grass, and on the side of the big tent in the army, a group of generals and strategists gathered together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's battle is a great one, now that the party's troops have lost more than half, they have already fled back to their lair, and we have no worries in the rear, but Gyeongju City has not been able to take it for a long time, but it is by no means a long-term solution, now what good strategies do you have?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Qin Tian.

If they had a good plan, they would have offered it before Qin Tian came, and they didn't have it, so they could only count on Qin Tian.

Qin Tian held his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Although Tuyuhun was defeated today, most of the troops were still preserved, plus they have the advantage of defending the city, if we attack strongly, we will still suffer heavy casualties." ”

This is also clear to everyone, although they eliminated part of Tuyuhun's troops today, they also have casualties, compared with the previous situation, they just have no worries.

If they fight hard and attack Gyeongju City, they can also win.

Now they need to think about whether or not to make such a sacrifice.

In other words, they are now invincible, and the next thing to do is to make a choice.

Whether to choose to trade casualties for victory, or to think of another strategy.

"Qin Tian, we all know what you said, you can talk about how to minimize casualties,"

"The best way, of course, is to be able to open the city gate from the inside, so that we can meet Tuyuhun with a short army, and our Tang army still has an advantage."

Hearing this, everyone pouted, and they felt that Qin Tian didn't say anything.

"If we could open the gates from the inside, we would have opened them." Hou Junji is a little unaccustomed to it.

Qin Tiandao: "Of course you can't open it, but I do." ”

"Do you have a way to open the gates from the inside?" Everyone was surprised, and Qin Tian bowed his head: "Yes, but it will take a few days to wait for me to make things, and besides, I still need to wait for a windy night." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Hot air balloon, this thing is based on Zhuge Liang's Kong Ming lantern during the Three Kingdoms period, it can carry people into the air and float to Gyeongju City, as long as Gyeongju City has our people, it is not easy to open the city gate?"

Everyone knows that Kong Ming Lantern has also let go of it during the Shangyuan Festival, but it is the first time they have heard of it.

Li Shimin believed in Qin Tian, so after Qin Tian finished speaking, he nodded: "Okay, then we will wait for you to build a hot air balloon." ”

After saying this, everyone dispersed, and Qin Tian called some people to help him collect materials for making hot air balloons.

The production of hot air balloons is relatively not troublesome, and in a few days, Qin Tian has built more than a dozen hot air balloons, which are large and can carry five or six people.

In addition, Qin Tian also made some parachutes for backup, in case the hot air balloon broke, they could also use the parachute to land from the air.

After the hot air balloon was ready, Qin Tian did a little experiment, and after confirming that there was no problem, he came to Li Shimin.

"Lord Wang, the hot air balloon has been completed, we can basically transport seventy or eighty people over, and if these people move at night, they can almost open the city gates."

Li Shimin nodded, seventy or eighty dead soldiers are indeed likely to succeed.

"However, if you want to act, you must also have a wind blowing towards Gyeongju City, my subordinates have already seen the weather, and about three days later, there will be a wind blowing towards Gyeongju City in the evening, at that time, we can cooperate inside and outside to capture Gyeongju City in one fell swoop."

As soon as Qin Tian finished speaking, a man next to Li Shimin suddenly stroked his beard and smiled: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, Lord Qin, it seems that Yuan Mou seems that on the evening two days later, there was a wind blowing in the direction of Gyeongju City." ”

The person who spoke was slender and a bit fairy-like, and Qin Tian knew that he was the famous Yuan Tiangang, who was proficient in calculation and astronomy and geography.

However, in the face of such a person, Qin Tian was not panicked at all, and said: "There is indeed a wind blowing towards Gyeongju City in the evening after two days, but it only lasts for a stick of incense, and one stick of incense is not enough for us, so it must be the night after three days." ”

Hearing Qin Tian's oath, even saying a stick of incense at such a time, Yuan Tiangang's brows suddenly froze, and he smiled: "Looking at the celestial phenomena, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty is my opponent, and Lord Qin is afraid that he will miscalculate." ”

Qin Tiandao: "This official can't be wrong, if not, you can just watch it in the evening two days later." ”

Seeing Qin Tian despise himself like this, Yuan Tiangang said, "Oh, then Lord Qin dare to bet?" ”

"Bet on what?"

"Seeing that Lord Qin also seems to be a person who has studied these things, then we can be regarded as people in the same way, if there is really a wind blowing in the direction of Gyeongju City in the evening two days later, and it lasts for more than a stick of incense, no, more than half an hour, how about Lord Qin worship me as a teacher?"

Qin Tian has a prominent reputation in the capital, and now he seems to be the number one talent in the Tang Dynasty, if someone like him worships himself as a teacher, then he must also be a lot more prominent, Yuan Tiangang thought in his heart.

Qin Tian here, without hesitation, immediately responded: "Naturally, there is no problem, but if not, then even if I win, you have to worship me as a teacher." ”

"Okay, the prince will testify."

The two looked at Li Shimin as they spoke, Li Shimin was not interested in the bet between the two of them, he just wanted to know when the city could be attacked, but now it seems that he can only follow what the two of them said.

"Well, this king is witnessing."

After saying this, Qin Tian and Yuan Tiangang left separately, only waiting for the evening two days later.

Time passed a little slowly, and after Tuyuhun returned to Gyeongju City, he became more and more afraid to go out easily, and he was very cautious in his precautions, for fear that the Tang army would suddenly attack the city.

"Lord Wang, I really didn't expect the Tang Army to be so treacherous, all the grain and grass were delivered, but they deceived us and didn't deliver it, not to mention that we lost our party allies, and made us fall to such a point."

A Tuyuhun general said, his tone was very angry, but at the same time, there was some jealousy, because the Tang army had grain and grass, they could continue to confront them, and there was not much grain and grass on their side.

King Hasqi of Xijue frowned and said: "It's okay, although the Tang army has grain and grass, it is by no means easy to capture Gyeongju City, let our people continue to defend, we can't relax for a moment, this king's side, we also have to apply for some more grain and grass from our king." ”

"Everything is under the orders of the prince, the last general also feels that the Tang army wants to attack it, it is not easy, although they have grain and grass, but they can't support it for long, the last general heard that Chang'an City, the Tang prince and Li Shimin do not deal with each other, and it won't be long before the prince of the Tang Dynasty is afraid that Li Shimin will be impeached."

"Yes, there is hope."
