That is the most powerful general in Jingzhou.
How could it be so vulnerable?
Many people shook their heads, thinking that they were hallucinating.
Just when everyone was shocked, Li Xiao said in a deep voice: "This king's tolerance is limited, if anyone dares to attack this king, he will be killed immediately!"
After finishing speaking, he stared at Li Kaiyang and shouted: "Li Kaiyang!"
Li Kaiyang was awakened in an instant, with an incomparably dignified expression, and cupped his fists at Li Xiao: "I have met His Royal Highness King Yue!"
After a pause, he continued: "Your Highness, it is rare for you to have such amazing martial arts at such an age. If you are willing to put down the butcher knife, you will find your way back and your future will be limitless. Your Highness, please don't embarrass me."
"Are you afraid that you don't understand the situation?"
Li Xiao frowned and said: "You Jingzhou has been surrounded by me, if you don't want to die, just surrender obediently, don't force me to do it!"
"No, no, no!"
Li Kaiyang shook his head and said: "Your Highness has amazing force, so you don't want to fight against the enemy? Hehe... There are still nearly ten thousand Jingzhou soldiers in this city, and there are more than a dozen generals here. Can you escape?"
"You still have to pretend?"
Li Xiao sneered, and then ordered: "Let me flatten his mansion!"
With an order, the Gundam chariot troops began to operate one after another.
The medium-sized artillery mounted on the chariot slowly turned around the hole and aimed at the City Lord's Mansion.
"What are you going to do?" Li Kaiyang frowned.
Although he didn't know what Li Xiao was going to do, a bad premonition arose in his heart for no reason.
"Do it! Don't let them succeed!"
Li Kaiyang also ordered instantly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
But the next moment, before the generals and soldiers could move, they heard a deafening roar.
The people in Jingzhou have never experienced the scene of artillery firing at close range. Everyone was shocked by the loud noise and covered their ears and kept retreating.
The scene was chaotic.
When they raised their heads, they saw that the original magnificent gate of the City Lord's Mansion had been reduced to ruins.
There is still thick gunpowder smoke and dust floating in the sky at this moment.
Li Kaiyang stared blankly at the ruins behind him, completely stunned.
He turned his head with difficulty, stared at Li Xiao, and asked word by word: "What did you do just now?"
At this moment, there seemed to be a shocking wave in his heart, which could not be calmed down for a long time.
In just one breath, the entire area of the gate of his mansion was directly turned into ruins by Li Xiao!
If Li Xiao's method is not to deal with the mansion, but them, can they still live?
He has never heard of this kind of weird and frightening method, and he has never seen it before.
"You don't need to know what this king has done, you just need to know that if this king didn't have kind thoughts in his heart, you would have already been turned into ashes." Li Xiao said expressionlessly.
"So, if you still don't surrender, don't blame the king for killing me!"
As soon as these words came out, the people present immediately felt a chill rise from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Kaiyang took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness did the same thing in Guizhou?"
"That old guy is very stubborn, so I knocked down his city wall, and he was willing to obediently let him go. You should be more sensible than him, right?" Li Xiao said casually.
"Dare to ask Your Highness..."
Li Kaiyang pointed to the Gundam chariot, and asked with a serious face: "What is this?"
"It seems that you are also very stubborn..." Li Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Wait! Wait!"
Li Kaiyang broke out in cold sweat, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, you have won, I will let His Highness's army go north, it's just..."
"Say!"
"I see that His Highness has benevolence and righteousness in his heart, and he must go north because he is sincerely serving the country and the people..."
After a pause, Li Kaiyang continued: "To be honest, although Jingzhou now claims that there are tens of thousands of soldiers, but in fact there are only a little over [-], and most of them are recruits and some disabled soldiers who have retired from the front line. Please forgive me. Do not hand over Jingzhou soldiers to Your Highness!"
As soon as Li Kaiyang said this, all the counselors and generals couldn't bear it anymore.
"My lord! Can't surrender!"
"That's right! The King of Yue defied the imperial decree, and he will definitely be questioned by the Empress Qiu. If your lord lets him go, we in Jingzhou will be implicated by then!"
"Resisting the decree is not respectful, and beheaded according to the law, my lord, think twice!"
"My lord, as long as you give an order, we will fight him. I don't believe that so many people can't do anything to him!"
The people next to him gave advice.
"enough!"
Li Kaiyang said coldly: "Look at your position clearly, it's not your turn to be the masters of Jingzhou!"
"I, Li Kaiyang, will take full responsibility for what happens, and I won't implicate you!"
All the counselors and generals fell silent for a moment.
"Li Gong is so righteous, Li Xiao admires him!"
Li Xiao clasped his fists at Li Kaiyang, and continued: "Don't worry, I'm just making excuses, and I don't want to take every needle and thread from Jingzhou."
"Thank you Your Highness, since this is the case, I can rest assured."
Li Kaiyang bowed respectfully to Li Xiao, and then shouted: "Command, all the five counties of Jingzhou will open their gates to the army of the King of Yue. If anyone obstructs them, they will be dealt with by military law!"
"Yes!"
Those generals in Jingzhou accepted the reality unwillingly.
……
At the same time, outside Chang'an City, the Tiantai Yuanqiu was worshipped.
Facing south, this place is surrounded by red palace walls and decorated with green glazed tiles. It has a vast terrain and is a place specially used by the imperial court for sacrifices.
At this moment on the platform, Li Ke was wearing a dragon robe, looked at the civil and military officials around him, and said slowly: "I summoned you here today, because I want you to see my Tang's secret weapon!"
In the audience, civil and military officials all showed curiosity when they heard this statement.
"Secret weapon? Could it be that His Majesty found it specifically to deal with the barbarians?"
"No wonder Your Majesty is not afraid when he hears that the Turkic army is going south. It turns out that there is a way to deal with it!"
"I don't know what this secret weapon is, can it fight against the Turkic cavalry?"
Just as the officials were discussing, a greasy fat man in a Taoist robe walked up to Li Ke.
Li Ke stretched out his hand and introduced: "Everyone should still remember the matter of the national teacher praying for rain three years ago? After three years of painstaking research, the national teacher finally had an epiphany and learned the ability to shake the world and weep ghosts and gods!"
"National teacher Li Chunfeng!"
"It turned out to be him. He hasn't heard from him since he showed up three years ago. It turns out he was studying spells."
Many ministers in the audience suddenly realized.
Of course, there are also many people who are skeptical. After all, people like them who read sage books don't really believe in strange powers and chaos.
At this time, Li Ke stepped aside and said, "Master, please show your spells!"
Chapter 410: Fire Powder
Under the altar, all the ministers held their breath and stared at Li Chunfeng intently, looking forward to the other party's next performance.
At this time, Li Chunfeng glanced at all the civil and military officials in the audience with indifferent eyes, and then said slowly: "My lords, you are saying compliments on your lips at this moment, but you are actually thinking of watching poor people's jokes in your heart." ?”
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid your ideas are going to fail."
As he said that, Li Chunfeng grabbed a handful of black powder from a tray beside him, and said loudly: "Everyone, please look, this thing is burning fire powder. It is a poor man who forgets to sleep and eat. It communicates with the world while meditating, and begs the immortals in the upper realm to get rid of it." The god bestowed."
"With this fetish, we can keep our Great Tang Dynasty prosperous forever, and not be afraid of all foreign enemies in the world!"
"Since it is a divine object, can it have a world-shocking effect?" Fang Xuanling who was not far away asked doubtfully.
"Good question!"
Li Chunfeng looked proud, and continued: "If there is no Unseal Jue bestowed by the immortals on the poor, this thing will be no different from ordinary soil, but if it is combined with the Unseal Jue, the power of this thing will shock the world!"
"This fetish is extremely precious, and because it may hurt you adults if you use too much, so Pindao will only take a small amount of fetish to display, and try to control the power as small as possible."
"In order not to waste the time of His Majesty and the ministers, Pindao has already prepared an unsealed fire powder and processed it."
"Look!"
Li Chunfeng stretched out his big hand, and a soldier brought a stone the size of a wine jar.
The stone was moved to the side of several grass figures, and there was no one around ten feet away.
"Your Majesty, please shoot it with a long bow, feather and arrow!" Li Chunfeng clasped his fists at Li Ke.
"Come here, get the bow!" Li Ke shouted immediately.
Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, Li Ke put on the feathered arrow, slowly drew the bow, and aimed at the stone under the grass man.
"call out!"
The sharp arrow hit the stone like lightning, and the feathered arrow sank in half.
"boom!"
In an instant, the stone exploded directly, and brought out a large cloud of fire mist, igniting the straw men next to them one after another.
The stone chips shot out and fell on the surrounding stands and all the civil and military officials, as if a rain of gravel was falling.
A few unlucky ministers had their faces hurt by stones, and their noses and faces were swollen after a few breaths.
"Why did it explode suddenly? What's going on?"
"Where did the fire come from? How can this stone emit flames? It's so strange!"
"It's kind of interesting, but this power is still... hard to describe!"
All the officials below nodded and commented.
Hearing this, Li Chunfeng felt that he was offended, and quickly said: "Poverty only controls the power for the safety of His Majesty and everyone."
"The stone just now is filled with this kind of fire powder, and the amount used is extremely small."
"But if it is used to deal with the enemy, it can be used ten times and a hundred times more. It can be poured into stones and thrown into the enemy's camp with a catapult. At that time, it can attract raging fire from the sky and devour the enemy with the force of a prairie fire."
"At that time, hundreds of thousands of enemy troops can be easily defeated without a single soldier. With such a shocking effect, do you still think this thing is ordinary?"
After listening to Li Chunfeng finished speaking, many ministers present showed excitement.
Thinking about it, this stone is so small, but the stones shot out can hurt them who are ten feet away.
If it is changed to a larger one, the number will be larger, and it can play an unimaginable role in dealing with large groups of enemy camps.
"Dare to ask the national teacher, how many of these things are there?" someone asked.
"At present, there are only 10,000 catties, but the immortal promised to Pindao that if this is not enough to deal with the [-]+ Turkic army, he will give more."
Li Chunfeng said proudly: "So, my Tang Dynasty has the protection of the immortals, so you don't need to panic. The northern barbarians are bloodthirsty and cruel. According to the rules, it is inconvenient to do it yourself, so I borrowed my hands to do it for you."
"So that's the case! I didn't expect there to be such a reason..." Li Ke suddenly realized, and immediately cupped his fists in the sky, "My god, please accept my worship!"
"My god, please accept my worship!"
The officials in the audience were all sensible people, and they all followed Li Ke, and immediately knelt down and bowed to the sky.
"With this fetish, why are you afraid of the Turks?"
Li Ke was in high spirits, and shouted: "Hurry up and offer the sacrifices, I want to thank the immortal for bestowing the gods!"
……
An hour later, the royal study room of the imperial palace.
