Chapter 257 Gunpowder, Gunpowder!

Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, and Xiao Yun agreed with Yang Yue's idea of taking the lead in solving external problems

In the blink of an eye, Li Xuanqi raised an objection to Yang Yue again, and took the initiative to suggest: "Lord Wang, the Tiger Ben Army is recruited by the Prince, train Mu Qianjun to enjoy its success, and rely on the Tiger Ben Army to attack the Prince."

Prince, can the prince bear to raise tigers

Xia Guan proposed that according to the prince's plan, if Mu Qianjun was not cleaned up, he should also manage the Tiger Ben Army in advance and empty Mu Qianjun's military power

In the future, when the prince frees his hands and cleans up Mu Qianjun, the resistance will be reduced a lot."

There are 100,000 flying cavalry troops, and the lieutenants, captains, and captains in the army are all promoted by Yang Yue personally, and these generals are also loyal to Yang Yue

Li Xuanqi was worried that Mu Qianjun was dissatisfied with Yang Yue's tuntian, and wrote to the emperor, in Chang'an, someone was bound to tell Mu Qianjun to rectify the flying cavalry army and clear the generals loyal to Yang Yue

At that time, Yang Yue will face great pressure

Yang Yue waved his hand and said meaningfully: "The foreign enemy has not been eliminated, this king has set off civil strife in Youzhou City, and the armies have fallen into internal fighting. ”

Li Xuanqi was worried, Yang Yue had considered it, however, compared to the invasion of foreign enemies, which is more important, he has a rod and scale in his heart

To grasp the military and political power of Youzhou and firmly control Youzhou and even the northeast, he will work step by step and gradually realize it

The war was not over, and it was not a last resort, but it would never confront Yuwenheng and Mu Qianjun, so that the Tang army's forces were scattered

Li Xuanqi learned of Yang Yue's thoughts, took a long breath, and said unwillingly: "Lord Wang, the war is protracted, when it will end, it is unpredictable, Mu Qianjun has been in control of the Tiger Ben Army for a long time, and it is very easy to clear the power of the prince in the Tiger Ben Army, and there are many dreams at night, so I have to guard against it!" ”

"That's right, Lord Wang, the matter of the Tiger Ben Army must be arranged in advance, even if you can't imprison the other party, you must also take precautions." Fan Hengwen echoed.

According to his idea, the best way is to take advantage of the winter to take the initiative to lead the troops to fight, recover Jizhou, and expel the Khitan and Silla coalition forces in Pingzhou to ensure local stability in the northeast.

The northeast was quiet, and while Mu Qianjun was in front of the triumphant return to Chang'an, Yuwen Heng led the army to launch a mutiny and seize the opponent's military power.

However, the heavens are not beautiful, the weather is cold, and it is not conducive to combat, and the Tang army will take the initiative to fight and will pay a heavy price.

Hearing this, Yang Yue did not change his mind, his expression was silent, and he said loudly: "Xuanqi, Hengwen, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, not reckless." ”

Wouldn't he know that the sooner he seized Yuwen Heng and Mu Qianjun's military power, the easier his situation would be

However, the war is unfavorable, and if he wants to fight on a large scale, he is afraid that it will take the spring of the next year, and at present, what he lacks most is time

Sensing Yang Yue's thoughts, Fan Hengwen simply said what he thought in his heart, and said bluntly: "Lord Wang, Xiaguan is the main battle, today, the Khitan and Silla armies, the turtle shrinks Jizhou and Pingzhou, and the Xiaguan suggests that General Yan and General Lin lead the army to take the initiative to attack, thunder means, and recover Jizhou and Pingzhou."

In this way, he can't help but be able to quickly regain the lost territory, stabilize the court, and quickly seize the military power of Mu Qianjun and Yuwen Heng.

When the prince holds the military power and runs Youzhou, it will become simple, and there is no need to be afraid of the power of the court."

Yang Yue's eyes stared at Fan Hengwen, puzzled, where did Fan Hengwen get the confidence to dare to say this

Yan Yuefeng, Lin Kaiyue led the right guard, if there was a chance to easily regain the lost territory, at this moment, he didn't have to worry about it

couldn't help but ask eagerly: "Hengwen, what do you think, you might as well speak up." ”

Yang Yue's plan, the conquest of the war, is scheduled to be carried out after the New Year, hearing Fan Hengwen's words, it seems that he is impatient, and there is a way to capture the city.

Fan Hengwen bowed his head and said softly: "Lord Wang, the lower officials have a rough method, suggesting blowing up Jizhou, the south gate of Pingzhou, and leading the army into the two cities. ”

"Blow it up, how do you blow it up?" Hearing this, Yang Yue looked stunned, and became more and more interested in Fan Hengwen's plan.

Fan Hengwen said mysteriously: "Lord Wang, Xiaguan has a Taoist friend, he once made a kind of thing, ignited and can explode quickly, its power is not small, if this kind of method is used militarily, Xiaguan dares to guarantee that there is no pressure to blow up the gates of Jizhou and Pingzhou." ”

Hearing this, Yang Yue couldn't help but gasp, probably guessing what Fan Hengwen was referring to.

After all, he had studied from an unknown old Taoist, and he also knew that gunpowder was accidentally invented by an ancient Taoist priest when he was alchemizing

Sun Simiao, a doctor, didn't know what kind of sulfur, nitrate, and charcoal when refining the pill, and one day he didn't know what sulfur, nitrate, and charcoal he caught, and it exploded during the alchemy, so he had gunpowder.

However, he did not expect that in this era, after the Sui Dynasty, everything deviated from the historical track, but there was still gunpowder.

If he masters gunpowder, he will have a huge advantage, not to mention the replacement of firearms in the whole army, just forming all kinds of grenades with great power, and it will be much easier in the war

Yang Yue's mind was excited, and he couldn't help but ask eagerly: "Hengwen, now, can you contact a Taoist friend?" ”

At this moment, Yang Yue didn't dare to keep much hope, the Taoist priest went down the mountain to save the world, and the monk closed the door to avoid disaster. The Taoist priest of the prosperous era retreated to the mountains, and the monks went out of the mountains to collect wealth.

Although it is not a prosperous era now, however, there are very few traces of Taoist priests in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention, Taoist disciples often like to travel all over the world, and it may be difficult to find them.

Therefore, Yang Yue's plan, Fan Hengwen mentioned gunpowder, if he can't find Taoist friends, he will develop it himself, no matter how long it takes, he must master it.

Fan Hengwen looked disappointed, and said regretfully: "Lord Wang, that old friend of Xiaguan passed away a few years ago, but Xiaguan has the information of this kind of thing in his hand, if he looks for an alchemist to study patiently, he will definitely be able to make it successful." ”

Hearing the sound, Yang Yue slapped his palm on the bookcase, and said loudly: "Hengwen, since there is a development method, it is no better, and send it to the king for his eyes." ”

"Yes!" Fan Hengwen bowed

At this moment, Yang Yue's heart was turbulent, it was difficult to calm down for a long time, and when he was silent, he reminded: "Hengwen, Xuanqi, Xiao Yun, no matter whether the gunpowder can be successfully developed or not, Hengwen, you will go to all places to protect the mansion and the governor's mansion, and strive to persuade all forces." Xuan Qi, Xiao Yun, also acted according to the discussion"

"Yes!" Fan Hengwen, Li Xuanqi, Xiao Yun's head.

…………

Yang Yue and the ministers discussed the military affairs of Youzhou, plotting against Yuwenheng and Mu Qianjun.

At this moment, Yu Wenheng and Mu Qianjun were also busy, they returned to the temporary mansion in Youzhou, got into the study, and wrote a book, wanting to inform the emperor of what Yang Yue had done in Youzhou.

Strive to rely on imperial power to limit the power in Yang Yue's hands.

However, Yu Wenheng and Mu Qianjun wrote to the emperor, but their ultimate purpose is completely different.

Yuwen wrote a letter to limit Yang Yue's power, just to ensure the interests of the Yuwen family.

Mu Qianjun wrote a book, but because he was loyal to the emperor and was afraid of Yang Yue Tuntian, he had a rebellious heart and threatened the imperial power.

After writing the excerpt, send a messenger to deliver it.

Soon, a few horses broke out of the south gate of Youzhou and went straight to Chang'an.
