"My lord, the news from South China is coming back, and everything is going well. Xue Rengui has entered Zhang Shigui's camp and has become the head of the fire. Li Tianming said to Li Tai.

"Tell them the king's words, and tell them not to make too many moves, but to keep the fire camp firmly in check. There is not a single element of instability in the camp where the king wants to be on fire. Li Tai ordered.

At this time, Li Tai's mood was really comfortable, everything returned to the original historical trajectory, but it was more exciting than the original trajectory in history.

But there is one thing that Li Tai has not been able to make up his mind. That is whether Liu Yinhuan should be allowed to endure eighteen years of suffering in the broken tile cold kiln.

If Liu Yinhuan hadn't been allowed to endure eighteen years of suffering, would he have let the famous Xue Dingshan miss the opportunity to worship Wang Ao Laozu as a teacher.

If this is really the case, it could change the course of history. After all, Xue Rengui's son Xue Dingshan still has a major role on him.

But if Liu Yinhuan is allowed to endure eighteen years of suffering like this, Li Tai is really a little unbearable. In the end, Li Tai made a modest decision.

That is to let Liu Yinhuan continue to live in the broken tile cold kiln. But Li Tai sent out, the golden shadow of the phantom of the five elements. went to live with Liu Yinhuan, and her identity was Liu Yinhuan's cousin.

……

Luoyang City.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, now Zhang Shigui has gone to Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi Province to recruit troops. According to the emperor's will, 100,000 soldiers need to be recruited. This is a large force, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can hold it in his hands. will be of great use in the future. Du He said to Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already has ten chances of the Crown Prince, and if he stretches his hand too long, I am afraid that it will cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. It is even possible to put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in danger. Changsun Xiang shook his head and said.

"Eldest Sun Xiang, have you ever considered it, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the Ten Chances of the Crown Prince in his hands. But there are few old ministers in the court who really support the crown prince. And the generals all stood on the side of King Wei. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not have any heavy troops in his hands, how will he fight with King Wei in the future. Du He said to Changsun Xiang.

"Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has received the support of the Confucian sect in the world, since ancient times, the military generals have fought the world, and the civil servants have ruled the world. With the strong support of Confucianism, are you still afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to control everything. Changsun Xiang argued.

"The Confucian sect supports the main palace, and it does allow the main palace to get a great assistant. But they are ultimately unarmed. Relying on them to defeat Li Tai, who has elite soldiers in his hands, is probably tantamount to a fool's dream. Li Chengqian said to Changsun Xiang.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, when the emperor launched the Xuanwumen Incident, he directly beheaded the crown prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, in the Xuanwu Gate. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was wider than the emperor's elite soldiers at that time, I am afraid that the one who is sitting on the throne now is not the emperor today. Zheng Chunyuan said to Li Chengqian.

This Zheng Chunyuan is none other than the eldest son of the current patriarch of the Zheng clan in Xingyang. Since Li Chengqian came to Luoyang to take power, the Zheng clan in Xingyang has been completely attached to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian's large-scale construction in Luoyang City also came from the Zheng family in Xingyang. During the three years that Li Chengqian went to Chang'an City to supervise the country, the affairs of Luoyang were also managed by the Zheng family of Xingyang.

Therefore, Li Chengqian still relies on the Zheng family in Xingyang. The current Li Chengqian dynasty has the support of Confucian students, and the economy has the support of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

It's a pity that now Li Chengqian lacks the support of military generals, although he has the prince under his command. However, Li Chengqian was only able to mobilize more than 10,000 people.

Although these more than 10,000 people are all elite, there are one enemy and ten on the battlefield. Even in terms of numbers, it surpassed Li Tai's Wei Wang's forbidden army. But Li Chengqian knew in his heart that this was not his advantage.

First of all, Li Tai's Wei King Forbidden Army, its combat effectiveness is obvious to all, and it can even be said that it is the first elite of the Tang Dynasty. Not only that, Li Tai also has the support of Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yanjin and others.

Not only Li Tai has such strength, but even Li Ke, the king of Shu, is now in full swing in Shuzhou. All these have endangered Li Chengqian's position.

In addition, Li You of Fenzhou has now posed a threat to Li Chengqian. Therefore, the current Li Chengqian is anxious to develop his own strength. Otherwise, you may be at a disadvantage in the next battle.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can get the support of a Sixteenth Guard General, it will definitely be a good thing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Du He said to Li Chengqian.

At this time, Du He is no longer as simple as a gentleman, since he suffered a big loss in the hands of Li Tai last time. After going back, he was taught a lesson by his father Du Ruhui, which made Du He change his ways.

began to learn Wen Taowu, although he was not a top person. But it's definitely not a melancholy kid. This also allowed him to be reused by Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, can you remember the Duke of Luguo. He has not been reused by the emperor for a long time, and he has already complained in his heart. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lures him, I believe that he should be able to draw him to His Royal Highness the Prince's side. Zheng Chunyuan said to Li Chengqian.

"This prince of Luguo Junji has indeed had a whisper for a long time, and he has also expressed that he wants to be attached to this palace. But Hongu was worried that he was sent by his father to test Hongu. So I didn't set an example. Li Chengqian said.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, leave this matter to our Zheng family. I promise that when the time comes, let him be the prince of Luguo, and obey His Royal Highness the Prince. Zheng Chunyuan said to Li Chengqian.

"Then this matter will be handed over to Mr. Zheng, if possible, I hope that Mr. Zheng can help me collect more people's illegal records. Only let their handles, grasp the hands of this palace. There is a way for them to obey this palace. Li Chengqian nodded and said to Zheng Chunyuan.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you want an invincible undead army, I, the Tang Sect, can help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince establish one." Tang Aoshan said to Li Chengqian.

This Tang Aoshan is the younger brother of Tang Aotian, the master of the Tang Sect, and his position in the Tang Sect is that of the deputy master. Now he represents the Tang Sect and stays by the side of the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Hearing Tang Aoshan say that he could build an immortal army for himself, this couldn't help but make Li Chengqian interested. So he opened his mouth and asked Tang Aoshan: "What is the matter with this immortal legion that Deputy Sect Master Tang said?" ”

"The Tang Sect has an ancient method of using hundreds of poisons to concoct a kind of poisonous water. The soldiers bathed in it for many years, and they were born with copper skin and iron bones. And you lose any sense of pain. Tang Aoshan said to Li Chengqian.

"I'm afraid it's not so easy to get such an undead legion. If everyone can pass this poisonous water and become a warrior with copper skin and iron bones. I'm afraid that the Tang Gate is no longer the Tang Gate it is now. Zheng Chunyuan said to Tang Aoshan with a smile.

"Mr. Zheng is right, this undead army is not something that everyone can become. It can even be said that only one person in a hundred people can succeed in the end. Tang Aoshan nodded and said.

"What about the remaining ninety-nine, who can't become immortals?" Li Chengqian asked Tang Aoshan.

"They will be poisoned by poisonous water, and in the end there will be no bones left." Tang Aoshan said to Li Chengqian.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, on the surface, it is impossible for this undead legion to form an army at all. But in a sense, it's not impossible. Du He said to Li Chengqian.

"I don't know what plan you have to get the undead legion in this palace." Li Chengqian asked Du He.

"The headquarters of the Tang Gate is in Bashu, which is the territory of Li Ke, the king of Shu. can let the Tang Sect secretly cultivate the undead army there. It's definitely a win-win-win- Du He said to Li Chengqian with an evil smile.

"Okay, Deputy Sect Master Tang immediately informed Tang Aotian and asked him to start cultivating an immortal army for this palace. The number of people must not be less than 5,000. Li Chengqian said to Tang Aoshan.

Li Chengqian's words will kill hundreds of thousands of people because of this. In the end, he will receive five thousand undead troops. However, at this time, Li Chengqian will not take care of so much, what he needs now is to increase his strength.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I want to get an undead army of five thousand people. I am afraid that it is unrealistic to train in one place, and it is necessary to secretly open training bases in various state capitals. Only then can an undead army be formed. Tang Aoshan team Li Chengqian said.

No one thought that Li Chengqian was now starting a crazy plan. A plan that can be described as the extermination of humanity.

……

Mozhou City.

"Lord, it's done, it's finally done." Gao Ping came to Li Tai excitedly and said.

Seeing Gao Ping's excited expression, Li Tai knew that Gao Ping must have successfully developed the steam engine.

It has been more than four years since the development of this steam engine began. After countless failures, it was finally successfully developed today.

Gao Ping studied a steam-powered car. It is a drawing designed by Li Tai according to the steam engine car invented by Trevitik.

"This king has been waiting for this day for a long time, and since it has been successful, let's take this king to see it." Li Tai said happily to Gao Ping.

"Everything is ready, and now the steam engine car is on the battlefield. After the lord arrived, he tried it for everyone. Gao Ping said excitedly to Li Tai.

After Li Tai nodded, he followed Gao Ping to the martial arts arena. I have explained before that there is a huge martial arts arena in Mozhou City. And the location of this martial arts venue is opposite the Huaqing Palace.

Therefore, this martial arts arena is not something that ordinary people can approach casually. So in ordinary times, I don't see anyone on the martial arts field at all. But today, in this martial arts arena, it is definitely very lively.

Not only the people of the Momen Gao family were here, but other Momen disciples also rushed over after hearing the news. Even Luo Tong, Qin Huaiyu and others came to see the excitement.

When Lee Tae arrived, he saw everyone pointing at a strange vehicle. I heard Cheng Tieniu say loudly: "It's just such a weird-looking thing, he doesn't even need cows and horses, can he not walk by himself." ”

"This time I support the third brother, I really don't believe that this thing can walk. Even if you walk, the speed is definitely not satisfactory. Luo Tong said.

If it was Trevitik's first steam engine car, it was really not as fast as a horse-drawn carriage. On average, a horse-drawn carriage can travel about fifteen kilometers in an hour.

And the steam engine car made by Trewittik can only reach a speed of about eight or nine kilometers per hour.

But Li Tai's steam engine car is different. First of all, Li Tai installed the bearings in the position of the axle.

Although the bearing is relatively poorly manufactured, it is definitely much lighter than ordinary carriages.

And the wheels of this car are not made of wood. Rather, it is rubber wheels.

In this way, the speed of the steam engine car has been greatly improved. It is already possible to reach speeds of around 15 kilometers per hour.

Just when everyone was talking, Gao Ping came with Li Tai. Seeing Li Tai coming, Cheng Tieniu said with a smile: "I said my lord, is this thing that Gao Ping made up reliable?" ”

"If it's reliable, you'll know if you've tried it." Li Tai said to Cheng Tieniu with a smile. Then let Gao Ping start the steam engine car for everyone to see.

Gao Ping nodded excitedly, and then turned over on the steam engine car. At this time, a raging fire was already burning in the boiler. A large amount of steam has entered the steam engine.

With a sudden roar, the steam engine car finally moved. The pace was still very slow at first, and slowly it got faster and faster.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, they didn't expect that this strange car could really run on its own, and it had such speed.

After Gao Ping returned to Li Tai's side, he said to Li Tai with a smile: "Lord, I don't know what you think of this steam engine car. ”

"The king's initial requirements have been met, but I want him to really play his role. Much improvement is still needed. The first is that there has to be an increase in speed. and the raw materials that are burned should also be improved. Li Tai said to Gao Ping.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely develop a car so that he can meet the requirements of the lord." Gao Ping said confidently.

"My lord, I don't think he's much better than a carriage. Why do you need to invest so much time and manpower to mess with him? Qin Huaiyu asked Li Tai puzzled.

"You don't know about it, if you can make it. In the city of Mozhou, wouldn't the people travel much faster. Li Tai said to Qin Huaiyu with a smile.

In fact, the real idea in Li Tai's heart was not to make a steam engine car, but to make a steam engine train. Li Tai's initial plan was to build a railway in the city of Mozhou.

Let this train become a bus in the city of Mozhou, and then promote it little by little. The ultimate goal is to lay all the railroad tracks in the territory of Datang.

Of course, this plan does have a long way to go, but Li Tai believes that he is absolutely capable and confident that he can accomplish this feat.

If you want to discuss the plot with everyone, it's okay to chat with the brothers. You can join the Dragon Soul Book Friends Group Dragon Soul Palace. Group number: 487012832. After the daily update, it will be notified in the group.
