Datang: Just been appointed as the crown prince, the counterattack system is here

Chapter 123 Your Majesty! We no longer want to be dominated by the fear of the Crown Prince! [Please subscribe]

The whole hall was silent.

Everyone was stunned on the spot.

"Auxiliary machine, you."

Li Shimin widened his eyes and looked at Changsun Wuji in disbelief.

Fang Xuanling and others were even more stunned.

Nima!

Everyone is giving advice to His Majesty, how did you suddenly rise to His Majesty's level?

Anyone who offends the Tang Dynasty will be punished, no matter how far away they are.

Is that something you can say?!
Just when everyone was in doubt, Changsun Wuji's voice rang out again.

"Liang Shidu is a Han Chinese, yet he colluded with the Turks and harmed the Han Chinese. He is worse than pigs and dogs!"

"Now, you have killed our Tang Dynasty envoys. You are our sworn enemy!"

"But Fuji, even if we want to eliminate Liang Shidu to restore the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, you don't have to do it yourself, right?"

Li Shimin came back to his senses from his shock and looked at Changsun Wuji with a complicated expression.

Zhangsun Wuji smiled and turned to look at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I understand your intentions, but if you want to eliminate Liang Shidu without sacrificing a single soldier, then I am the only one who can do it."

"Why is this?"

"In fact, I have already said that Liang Shidu colluded with the Turks and harmed the Han people, and he is unpopular."

“Even if the Turks helped him, it was only to seize the women, livestock, cattle, horses, food, and other supplies under his rule.”

"Over the years, the people under Liang Shidu's rule have been enslaved to the point of being dehumanized. Furthermore, given his conflict with Jie Li Khan and his killing of the Tang Dynasty's envoy, his subordinates will undoubtedly be terrified and may become disloyal and seek other solutions."

"If at this moment, our Tang Dynasty only targets Liang Shidu and lures them into surrender, what will they do?"

"This"

After hearing what Changsun Wuji said, everyone, including Li Shimin, understood what Changsun Wuji meant.

To capture Liang Shidu, you can only use wisdom, not force.

When it comes to treacherous people, there are very few in the Tang Dynasty who can compete with Changsun Wuji.

Therefore, it is really appropriate to let Changsun Wuji handle this matter.

Li Shimin looked deeply at Zhangsun Wuji, then looked at Fang Xuanling and the others, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think of this matter, my dear ministers?"

"Your Majesty, I think this matter can be handed over to Lord Changsun!" Fang Xuanling was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

The other ministers looked at each other and echoed in unison: "We agree!"

"it is good!"

Li Shimin clapped his hands in applause, then straightened his posture, fixed his gaze on Zhangsun Wuji, and said solemnly: "Assistant Ji, I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the Guannei Road Army. Together with Xiazhou Governor Liu Min and Sima Liu Lan, we will jointly eliminate Liang Shidu!"

"I accept your order!"

Changsun Wuji bowed and accepted the order.

Li Shimin smiled slightly, then picked up the teacup on the table and prepared to drink.

At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji's voice rang out again: "Your Majesty, I have another request. Please grant your consent!"

"Ah!"

Li Shimin laughed: "When did you become so stubborn? Just tell me what you want to say! I will agree to everything you say!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Sun Wuji bowed and said, "I will not only unite with Xiazhou, but also with Jiangling!"

boom!
Li Shimin didn't hold the teacup firmly in his hand, and it suddenly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Gudong!

Fang Xuanling swallowed his saliva and pretended to call the palace servants to come and clean up the broken porcelain on the ground, but in fact he was quietly giving a wink to Changsun Wuji.

He had previously discussed with Changsun Wuji privately, wanting to bring Li Chengqian back to Chang'an from Jiangling, but Changsun Wuji did not agree. He then asked Li Shimin himself, but Li Shimin directly rejected him.

Now when he heard Changsun Wuji say that he wanted to unite with Jiangling, he naturally thought that Changsun Wuji wanted to help Li Chengqian gain credit and return to Chang'an.

Although the two people took different routes, their goals were the same.

However, judging from Li Shimin's attitude when he rejected him last time, Li Shimin obviously does not want Li Chengqian to return to Chang'an now.

That's why he wanted to remind Changsun Wuji not to run into the gun.

really.

When Li Shimin heard Zhangsun Wuji's words about joining forces with Jiangling, his expression grew increasingly grim. Finally, he stared at Zhangsun Wuji with an icy gaze and said word by word, "Jiangling belongs to Shannan Road. I've appointed you as the Grand Commander of the Guannei Road Army. Didn't you hear that clearly?"

"Your Majesty, I have certainly heard your appointment clearly!"

"Then what do you mean by joining forces with Jiang Ling?"

Chang Sun Wuji smiled and said, "As the saying goes, a ruler should first consider the people, then himself, and finally the country."

"The Crown Prince possesses astonishing talent, and he has already sent Zhao Deyan to East Turkestan. This shows that he is a man of foresight. If I could cooperate with the Crown Prince and further his plans for East Turkestan, would that be a good idea?"

"I asked you to destroy Liang Shidu, not the Eastern Turks!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

Changsun Wuji said noncommittally, "If Liang Shidu is destroyed, we can take advantage of the favorable time and location to conceal the news of Liang Shidu's annihilation from the Tang Dynasty and send Liang Shidu's trusted aides to the Eastern Turks. Whether it's a trick or a scheme, as long as we seize this information gap, if we do it well, then the Tang Dynasty can destroy the Eastern Turks and take over other countries."

Good guy!
These words were like a huge drop of lightning, shaking the hearts of everyone present.

Everyone's mind was blank at this moment!

Hair standing on end!

It feels like the skull is being opened!
There was silence until Changsun Wuji finished his last word.

This moment!

It was as if time had suddenly frozen!
silence!

There was silence!
It was eerily silent!
Who are all those people present?!
He could be said to be the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, but now he was completely stunned by what Changsun Wuji said. His eyes flickered and he fell into deep thought.

It's been a long time!

Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Zhangsun Wuji in disbelief. His face was filled with doubt and uncertainty. "Could this be a plot devised by that rebellious son?"

Otherwise, how could it feel so familiar?

Although Changsun Wuji is sinister, his plots are all small ones!

And Li Chengqian's poison is all a big poisonous scheme!

Not only did he predict that the Eastern Turks would suffer a snowstorm rarely seen in a century, he also predicted that Jie Li Khan would believe Zhao De's words and make things worse for Jie Li Khan. Now, even more terrifying, he also predicted the conflict between Liang Shidu and Jie Li Khan, as well as the internal conflicts within Liang Shidu!
Nima!

What does it mean to win from a thousand miles away?!

What does it mean to spread the poison far and wide?
Did I give birth to a son from the union of Zhang Liang and Jia Xu?!
At this moment, not only Li Shimin, but also Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Xiao Yu, and Wei Zheng, all had expressions that became extremely complicated, ranging from shock to hesitation and even fear.
There are too many, too complex emotions to describe.

After a while, the ministers headed by Fang Xuanling all looked at Li Shimin with burning eyes.

There was only one meaning in their eyes.

Your Majesty! Please quickly recall the Crown Prince to Chang'an to take care of him!
We don’t want to feel the fear of being dominated by him anymore!

And the other side.

Jiangling's 'private weapons' workshop.

Li Chengqian yawned as he came to the place where weapons were forged.

Since that day when high-quality high-carbon steel blocks were forged, the military craftsmen in the workshop have never stopped the clanging sounds of forging.

Although weapons made of high-carbon steel are theoretically superior to the existing weapons of the Tang Dynasty, as the saying goes, practice is the only way to test the truth.

Only by forging weapons can we compete with each other.

"Your Highness, you got up so early today!"

As soon as Zhang Tie saw Li Chengqian, he went to greet him with a smile.

Li Chengqian removed his hand from covering his mouth, glanced at his panda eyes, and smiled, "Master Zhang, isn't he also very dedicated? You haven't had a good sleep for many nights, have you?"

Zhang Tie shook his head and sighed, "As craftsmen, who among us doesn't want to forge a good weapon? However, forging a good weapon requires not only the right time, place, and people, but also the right materials. Without good materials, you can't forge a good weapon!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the artisans who were forging weapons. "They've spent most of their lives crafting weapons in the armory, never having forged a complete weapon. Now, thanks to the Crown Prince's appreciation, they can come here to forge weapons and gain unprecedented access to forging and smelting techniques. They're all so motivated!"

"hehe."

Li Chengqian smiled noncommittally, then walked over to a craftsman's shop and watched them heat high-carbon steel, fold it, forge it, wrap it with wrought iron, and finally beat it into the shape of a Tang sword. Then, with a sizzling sound—

Use pliers to pick up the semi-finished Tang sword, first quench it with grease, then quench it with animal urine, and after it cools down, polish it and decorate it to become an exquisite Tang sword.

"bass!"

Li Chengqian was the first to pick up a Tang sword, unsheathed it, and looking at the slightly thick iron sheath and the beautiful flowing patterns on the blade, he couldn't help but exclaim, "What a great sword!"

"Yes! I've been in charge of the armory for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen such an exquisite long sword. It's really beautiful!" Zhang Tie looked at the Tang sword in Li Chengqian's hand with a gleam in his eyes.

As the owner of the military arsenal in charge of the weapons of a state's soldiers, he had seen too many weapons, but he had never seen a knife that could compare to the one in Li Chengqian's hand.

"Your Highness! I want this knife!"

Before Li Chengqian could play with the Tang sword in his hand, Du Caigan ran over in a hurry.

Immediately afterwards, Xue Rengui, Ma Zhou, Cen Wenben, including Li Yuan, Cai Sima, and the heads of the four major families all arrived.

Du Caigan, who ran to Li Chengqian first, was so surprised when he saw the knife in Li Chengqian's hand that he said, "This knife is a hundred times better than my sword!"

Li Chengqian chuckled!
The Tang Dao, the pinnacle of Chinese cold weapon forging, is perfect in both appearance and craftsmanship.

But the swords of the early Tang Dynasty were not real Tang swords.

It was not until the middle of the Tang Dynasty that such a perfect Tang sword appeared.

Moreover, even the Tang sword from the middle period of the Tang Dynasty could not compare to the Tang sword in Li Chengqian's hand.

Because the Tang swords in the middle period of the Tang Dynasty were not made of high-carbon steel!

Therefore, when Du Caigan said that this sword was a hundred times better than his sword, Li Chengqian did not think it was an exaggeration.

"This knife looks good, but you won't know if it's sharp until you try it out!"

Xue Rengui was the second one to run to Li Chengqian. He was also dazed, but he quickly came to his senses and gave him a reminder.

"Guard Xue, don't worry. This knife will definitely be sharp!"

As the owner of the armory, Zhang Tie knew swords like the back of his hand, so he confidently asked someone to bring him a pair of armor for testing.

This kind of test armor is specially used by the military armory to test the sharpness of swords.

Each layer of armor represents one level. The thicker the armor-piercing layer, the sharper the sword.

"Shh!"

Li Chengqian slashed with his sword, and layers of leather armor cracked instantly.

Li Chengqian didn't count.

But according to his memories from his previous life, the weapons made by the weapon masters of the Northern and Southern Dynasties using steel and double-liquid quenching could break through thirty bundles.

High-carbon steel is of better quality, and the Tang sword made from it is sharper, and the number of armor-piercing layers is definitely more than thirty layers.

Of course, because of his small power, there are definitely not thirty levels.

Zhang Tie broke the broken leather armor and began to count it the moment Li Chengqian chopped it down: "One layer, two layers..."

Du Caigan widened his eyes.

Even if the swords of the Tang soldiers were sharpened to the sharpest possible edge, they could only penetrate about ten layers of armor.

Even the swords carried by generals were only as sharp as twenty layers of armor.

However, Li Chengqian's casual knife
"Twenty-one layers! Twenty-one layers of armor pierced! Your Highness, you broke the sword and pierced twenty-one layers of armor!"

Zhang Tie was so excited that his face turned red and his neck became thick.

Anyone who can create a sword that can penetrate twenty armors can be called a top weapon master!
But the limit of this knife is definitely more than twenty-one layers!
Because Li Chengqian is just an eight-year-old child!

If it were Du Caigan!

Zhang Tie estimated that breaking through thirty-five layers of armor would be no problem at all.

"hehe."

The military craftsman who forged this Tang sword also laughed happily when he heard Zhang Tie's words.

Although he knew that he was able to forge this Tang sword because of the high-carbon steel and could not be called a weapon master, he was still very happy in his heart.

After all, this powerful Tang sword was forged by him.

"Your Highness, I want it."

Du Caigan looked at Li Chengqian with fiery eyes.

Li Chengqian's mouth twitched. Just as he was about to hand the knife to him, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "Breaking armor is boring. Why don't you try to chop each other?"
