"Liu Xiang is right, he should indeed send someone to be responsible for escorting. After all, the value of this firework is not small, and if something goes wrong on the way, none of us can afford it. Luo Song nodded and said.

"Marshal, how about letting our brother take the men and horses of the headquarters to escort them?" Yu Chi Baolin said to Luo Song.

"That's good, Wei Chi Baolin, Wei Chi Baoqing listen to the order, and your two brothers will take the headquarters of the Wind White Tiger Army and the Wild Wave Xuanwu Army. Cooperate with the Duke of Hubei to escort the fireworks to the front of the two armies. Luo Song nodded and said.

"The last general will obey orders." Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing said to Luo Song at the same time.

"Now that the battle between the two armies is in front of the formation, my lieutenant Chi Gong does not dare to delay time. Thus he said goodbye to the marshal and the others. Wei Chigong said after hugging his fists to everyone.

So the two brothers, Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing, took the people of the headquarters and followed Yu Chi Gong out of Youzhou City. Towards the Xiongnu royal city.

……

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, now the stone thrower and fire oil are ready. Just wait for Yu Chigong to come back with fireworks, and then he can launch an attack on the Khitan Royal City. Xu Maogong said to Li Zhi.

"The vanguard general has been gone for more than ten days, and I'm afraid it's time to rush back. If the time dragged on for a long time, the Khitan king agreed to the conditions of the palace. If you want to do it at that time, I'm afraid it won't be that decent. Li Zhi nodded and said.

It turned out that just a few days ago, the Khitan King had already made a decision. sent someone to hand over the letter to Li Zhi, expressing his willingness to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi naturally could not accept the surrender of the Khitan king, but Li Zhi made a request. That is to let the Khitan king return to Chang'an City with the army, and Li Shimin will personally dispose of him.

This can't help but make the Khitan King Dahe Cave Brother feel embarrassed. He was worried that when he arrived in Chang'an City, there would be no return. So I didn't make up my mind for a while.

However, Li Zhi was afraid that the time would drag on for a long time, and in the end, the Khitan King Dahe Cave Brother really agreed. If you want to launch an attack on the Khitan Royal City, you will be a little unknown.

At this time, someone came to the big tent of the Chinese army and saluted Li Zhi and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, according to the Malay report." There was a force of several thousand men carrying dozens of carts and was heading towards the camp of our army. ”

"Could it be that the vanguard general has returned, but as far as this palace knows, the vanguard general only brought a few hundred men and horses with him when he left. Why are there thousands of troops? Li Zhi asked Xu Maogong puzzled.

"These dozens of truckloads of fireworks are worth a lot of money. How could His Royal Highness King Yan rest assured that he would let Yu Chigong's hundreds of people escort him back. Presumably, His Royal Highness King Yan sent someone to escort him and came back with Yu Chigong. Xu Maogong said to Li Zhi.

"To be on the safe side, it's better to be defensive. lest someone take advantage of the loophole. Li Zhi thought about it and said to Xu Maogong.

Li Zhi's words made Xu Maogong secretly praise in his heart. I feel that Li Zhi's decision is very wise, after all, the two armies need to be cautious in everything before the battle.

……

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the last general has lived up to expectations and brought back the fireworks. These are the two sons of the last general, namely Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing. They were ordered by Lee Tae's kid to protect the fireworks all the way. Wei Chigong walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and saluted Li Zhi and said.

"The vanguard general has worked hard along the way, and after returning to Chang'an in triumph. The main palace will definitely repay the credit of the vanguard general to his father. Li Zhi said happily to Wei Chigong.

Then he said to Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing: "This palace has long heard that the two generals are excellent in martial arts, and they have made countless military exploits by the side of the imperial brother. I am fortunate to see it today, and this palace is really fortunate to have three lives. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised falsely, the two brothers of the last general are just doing their duty. I don't dare to take credit. Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing hurriedly saluted Li Zhi and said.

"The two generals have worked hard all the way, and tonight the palace will personally set up a banquet for the two generals to wash the dust." Li Zhi said to the two brothers Yu Chi Baolin again.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, now that the fireworks have been successfully delivered to His Royal Highness the Prince, our two brothers should also go back to Youzhou and return to His Royal Highness King Yan." Yu Chi Baolin said.

"Since you're here, why go back in such a hurry. It's better to stay and help the palace, I don't know what the two generals think? Li Zhi opened his mouth and asked Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing.

This couldn't help but make Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing's faces show embarrassment. Just as he wanted to say something to Li Zhi, he heard Wei Chigong on the side say, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, then you can stay." ”

Hearing his father say this, Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing saluted Li Zhi and said, "The two brothers are willing to listen to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Okay, there are two generals to help. There is no problem in breaking through this Khitan royal city. Now that the necessary things have been prepared, I don't know when the vanguard general is going to do it. After Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction, he asked Wei Chigong.

"I don't know if the military division can follow the requirements of the last general, and the rock-throwing truck and fire oil have been transported in place." Wei Chigong opened his mouth and asked Li Zhi.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for you to come back and give the order. The whole army can launch a general attack on the Khitan royal city. Xu Maogong nodded and said.

"Then order the fireworks to be distributed near the catapults. At midnight tonight, he launched an attack on the Khitan royal city on time. Wei Chigong nodded and said.

"Why did the vanguard general choose to send troops at night, after all, the vision at night is not so open. I am afraid that it will increase the casualties of our troops. Li Zhi asked Wei Chigong in confusion.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this firework is only beautiful when you watch it at night." Wei Chigong said to Li Zhi with a smile.

Of course, Li Zhi knew that Wei Chigong chose to do it at night, definitely not because the fireworks were beautiful at night. There must be something else in his mind. However, Li Zi didn't ask again, just nodded in agreement.

After setting the time for the attack, the generals were assigned tasks. Then Xu Maogong returned to his vanguard camp, of course, the two brothers Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing also left the Chinese army tent with Yu Chi Gong.

"Strategist, why did the vanguard general choose to do it at night. Is there any arrangement that can't be done? "Watching the generals leave the big tent of the Chinese army, they went down to prepare according to Wei Chigong's arrangement. Li Zhicai opened his mouth and asked Xu Maogong.

"The time of the end is the time when people are most sleepy. Therefore, Wei Chigong chose to make a move at this time, which would definitely bring an unexpected blow to the Khitan soldiers. When the time comes, it will make them even more flustered. Xu Maogong said to Li Zhi.

"It seems that this palace still has a lot of deficiencies in this march and war. After this triumph, Hongu hopes to follow the military advisor and learn about this march and battle. I don't know if the military advisor is willing to accept this disciple of the palace. Li Zhi asked Xu Maogong with a solemn face.

Xu Maogong never expected that Li Zhi was ready to worship himself as a teacher. I didn't know how to answer for a while, and the whole person was stunned.

"Do you think that the military advisor is not worthy of being a disciple of the military advisor?" Looking at Xu Maogong, who was stunned in place, Li Zhi asked again.

"Where, the minister can't ask for it. However, the emperor has to nod his head in this matter, after all, it is not a trivial matter for the prince to apprentice. Xu Maogong hurriedly said to Li Zhi.
