Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Li Daozong said: "Then who do you want to give this armor to?"

"This... I have to think about it carefully."

Fu Yuzhang said: "Little Wang has something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not."

"The prince of Daifang, please speak."

"This pair of armor is not as good as the one with the highest merit. Whoever makes the greatest contribution will own this armor."

His Majesty Li Er smiled wryly and said: "If you want to say the credit, which one is not the one who has worked hard? How can it be possible to find a person who has the most credit."

Fu Yuzhang said: "Then don't compare the credits of the past, just talk about the present."

"Now?"

"Although you have defeated Goguryeo's 30 troops, Liaodong City has not yet been captured. Why don't you stipulate that whoever can break through Liaodong City will be given this armor."

Chapter 1937

"It's a good idea to lead the king of the county!" Li Daozong smiled happily when he heard this, and said: "It is really fair and reasonable for those who have done more to get the treasure armor."

Then, he knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, you can entrust me with the task of breaking Liaodong City. Within three days, I will definitely be able to capture this city."

"Break the city in three days? Hey, my King Jiangxia, you really have the guts to say that."

Zhang Shigui, the Duke of Guo, was the leader of the Xuanjia Army, and he won the trust of His Majesty Li Er.Although the official position is slightly lower, he dared to argue with Jiangxia King Li Daozong.

He curled his lips and said, "More than a month ago, you announced that you would destroy the city in half a month. As a result, Liaodong City is still safe and sound! Now you are talking about destroying the city in three days, I feel ashamed for you Panic!"

Li Daozong said: "The reason why I broke my promise is because Goguryeo's army is surrounded on all sides, and our Tang army can't attack the city with all its strength. It is understandable."

"It's justifiable? You really said that! Although my surname Zhang doesn't read much, I also know that if a man spits, it must be a nail! Let alone something that falls on black and white. "

"You mean a military order?"

"Yes, yes. It's rare that King Jiangxia still remembers the military order. Let me ask you, which sentence in the military order says that if there is an ambush in Goguryeo, your half-month agreement to break the city will not count?"

"This……"

"I'm out of words. King Jiang Xia, if I were you, as soon as the army broke through, I would wipe my neck and kill myself in shame. Do you have to wait until today?"

"you……"

"What's wrong with me? Am I wrong? Oh, I understand. You are always greedy for life and afraid of death, and don't want to kill yourself. It's okay. It's human nature to like life and hate death. Even ants steal their lives, let alone a big one. What about the living? But..."

"how?"

"That's the same thing again. If you are afraid of death, find a corner to endure, so that everyone can't see it. How can everyone force you to death? But you jumped out shamelessly, as if you didn't have a military order This matter is too much to explain.”

Zhang Shigui's mouth was really bad enough, it made Li Daozong's face turn blue and white with anger.

He took a deep breath and said: "Whether the military order should be executed or not, it doesn't matter what you say, and it doesn't matter what I say, let's ask His Majesty to judge!"

"Oh, you can't tell me, think about asking His Majesty for support?" Zhang Shigui said with a sarcasm on his face, "Even if Your Majesty wants to help you say a few words because of sympathy, so what? Is it possible to block the world like this?" The mouth of a person? Besides..."

He swallowed, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you break the city in half a month or three days. It's nothing more than relying on the Xuanjia Army. But I, Zhang Shigui, are the official commander of the Xuanjia Army. Why didn't Your Majesty send me? Breaking the city, do I have to use you?"

"Hmph, say a thousand words and ten thousand, haven't you taken a fancy to my precious armor?"

"So what? King Jiang Xia, others are afraid of you, but I, Zhang Shigui, am not afraid of you. I have a dispute with you about the task of destroying Liaodong City."

Li Daozong sneered and said, "Okay, let's fight. Let me ask you, how many days are you going to use to break the city with the Xuanjia army?"

"How many days? Well...you use it for three days, and I will use it for three days."

"Then what if I say two days?"

"Two days...two days?" Zhang Shigui gritted his teeth and said, "Two days is two days, I will fight you!"

"Fight? Hehe, I'm afraid you can't afford it!" Li Daozong said: "The city of Liaodong is well-defended, and there are [-] soldiers inside. Although the morale may be a little low now, but if you want to break the city in two days, hehe... no I look down on you, you really can't do it!"

"I can't do it. Then you can do it? In terms of using troops, King Jiang Xia, you may not be superior to me, Zhang Shigui."

"Don't be unconvinced." Li Daozong said: "Let me tell you clearly, I will talk about it humbly in two days! If I work harder, I can break Liaodong City in one day."

Hearing this, Zhang Shigui didn't bother to refute. He rolled his eyes and said, "Blow... blow... the cowhide is flying in the sky..."

"What? You don't believe it?"

"What do you say?"

"Don't believe it. Even if you break the city in one day, I, Li Daozong, dare to issue a military order!"

His Majesty Li Er can't let Li Daozong speak such nonsense, saying: "Jiang Xia King, be careful! The previous military order was a special case, and I can accommodate it. But this time, we have to do whatever it says on it. Do you still want your head?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, even if your Majesty orders people to fetch paper and pen, isn't it just a day to destroy the city? I have issued this military order. If you can't break Liaodong City in a day, I am willing to come to see Your Majesty!"

His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, "Breaking the city in one day? It's nonsense. King Jiang Xia, don't make fun of your own life."

"Xiao Wang is serious."

"I can't be serious, I can't watch my confidant Ai die in vain."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. But have you ever thought about it, I, Li Daozong, am arrogant? When have you ever seen me fight an uncertain battle?"

"This……"

"Actually, a certain family has prepared a good thing for Liaodong City. With this item in hand, breaking Liaodong City is just around the corner!"

"What good stuff?"

"The building car."

"The building car? What kind of good is that?" His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, "It's not like we didn't use the building car before when we attacked Liaodong City. It's not that it was useless."

Li Daozong said: "Weichen's building car is different from ordinary building cars. This car can not only shoot arrows, but also has a ladder on it, which can send soldiers to the city wall."

"How is that possible? How tall is this car to send soldiers to the top of the city? I am not blind. If there is such a big car in the army, how could I not see it?"

"Because Weichen not only added a ladder to the building car, but also made a small change."

"What change?"

"All parts are broken into parts and shipped separately. Within an hour, it can be rebuilt."

"Is there another matter?" His Majesty Li Er's face changed slightly, and said: "King Jiang Xia really has a heart, no wonder I don't know anything about your building car."

"Uh... Your Majesty, the reason why I have painstakingly researched the method of breaking up the buildings and cars is not to deceive you, but to conquer Liaodong City in one fell swoop."
