Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Yes, he read that right!

There was actually a huge stove set up at the bottom of the boat.

Beside the stove, many soldiers were constantly adding coal to it.

Is this going to burn the boat?

But the answer Zhao Yuntian gave was that this is one of the so-called steam braking procedures.

Xiang Jun was confused.

Burning coal can also make the ship go away?

Can it also increase the speed to an incredible level?

Xiang Jun couldn't understand it.

Regarding Zhao Yuntian's explanation, he was also in a daze, and became more skeptical about life.

There is such a weird method in this world?

Moreover, listening to the words of his Privy Council members, it seems that there are countless strange things like this in Qiongzhou.

At this time, Qiongzhou was covered with a veil of mystery in Xiang Jun's heart.

He had never been so curious about a place.

What kind of place is this?

……

At the same time, in a mansion in Jizhou City.

Qin Qiong and the captain of Jizhou are discussing the war.

Suddenly, a person came in from outside the door.

"Prince?"

After seeing the person coming, Qin Teng stood up abruptly, his face darkened to the extreme at the same time.

Captain Yin Yangzhou rolled his eyes, as if he had nothing to do with him.

"General Qin, we meet again."

Li Ke smiled and walked in slowly.

"Your Highness still has the face to come back?" Qin Qiong said with a dark face.

Abandoning the city and fleeing, the safety of hundreds of thousands of people was ignored.

For this kind of person, Qin Qiong naturally has no good face.

"General Qin, there are some misunderstandings between you and me."

Li Ke didn't care, and said slowly, "If it wasn't for me, Jizhou would have been captured by the Turks long ago."

"What does this have to do with you?" Qin Qiong said puzzledly, "Jizhou's soldiers and civilians saw it with their own eyes, and it was ghost riders who saved Jizhou!"

"It's a good ghost ride."

Li Ke continued: "But if I hadn't begged for help, the Ghost Riders would not have dispatched at all. After all, the strength is too disparate. They helped me because of my promise."

"what?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

"Your Highness has seen the leader of the Ghost Rider?" Qin Qiong asked anxiously.

Although Ghost Rider has repeatedly helped Datang tide over difficulties.

But after all, the number of people is limited, and it is not worthy of the court's focus.

The most important thing is that the imperial court wanted to know the source of the ghost cavalry's fighting power.

If all Tang's troops are trained to be as elite as ghost cavalry, then they will be invincible teachers!

"Naturally, otherwise, how could the leader of the ghost cavalry bring a mere thousand people to attack the 20 Turkic enemy army?" Li Ke said with a smile.

"What evidence does Your Highness have?"

Qin Qiong's eyes narrowed, but she still didn't believe it.

He had seen Li Ke's desire to abandon the city before.

This turned around and said that he was going to meet the leader of the ghost rider, how could it be convincing?

"Does this count?"

Li Ke took out a ghost mask and said lightly: "This is given to me by the leader of the ghost rider."

"Does your Highness know where the ghost rider is? Who is the leader of the ghost rider?" Qin Qiong asked expressionlessly.

Li Ke shook his head and said, "I don't know either. He refused to disclose any information, and only said that if necessary, he can hang this mask at the gate of the city, and he will send someone to contact me."

"That is to say, His Highness can still send out ghost riders?"

Qin Qiong's eyes narrowed.

Unknowingly, Qin Qiong already believed Li Ke's words.

Because Li Ke has no reason to fabricate lies to deceive him.

After all, as long as the next time it is necessary, if Li Ke can't summon the ghost rider, wouldn't that be exposure?

It doesn't make any sense to do so.

"good."

Li Ke continued: "You can also understand that the ghost rider will obey my orders for the time being."

"If this is the case, Your Highness has made great achievements for our Great Tang!" Qin Qiong said excitedly, "It is not too late, I will report to Your Majesty immediately!"

"So good..."

Li Ke showed a meaningful smile.

Chapter 277: People Are Flying in the Sky! ! !

Changan.

The palace, the imperial study.

The battle report that Qin Qiong just sent was already placed in front of Li Er's desk.

He couldn't wait to open it and read it.

"it is good!"

When he saw the content, Li Er was refreshed, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Below, Fang Xuanling asked curiously.

"See for yourself!"

Li Er gave the memorial to Fang Xuanling with a look of relief.

After Fang Xuanling read the content of the memorial, he was also surprised, and said: "His Royal Highness actually contacted the leader of the ghost cavalry? Can the ghost cavalry be dispatched?"

After a pause, Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up: "If this is true, then my Tang Dynasty's confidence in winning this battle will increase by at least [-]%!"

"If the leader of the ghost cavalry is willing to cooperate with His Highness the Crown Prince and hand over the secret to victory, we, Tang Dynasty, will have [-]% confidence in defeating the Turks and Dongying."

"even……"

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling took a deep breath, clasped his fists at Li Er and said, "If everything goes well, our Great Tang will surely sweep away the world and rule the world!"

The strength of ghost riders has been deeply imprinted in everyone's minds.

With only 1000 people, they can repeatedly assassinate the main generals of the enemy's three armies under the siege of dozens of times the enemy.

Afterwards, they were able to evacuate calmly without any casualties.

Such a record has never been seen since ancient times.

Therefore, the reason for the strength of ghost riders is definitely the key to Datang's soaring sky.

They have been searching for so long, but they have not been able to get in touch with the ghost rider so far.

Now, here's your chance.

And it was Prince Li Ke who broke the situation.

Li Er also understood this truth deeply, and his heart was filled with excitement.

He was bullied for three years by the two major enemies of Turkic and Japanese.

Now, I finally have a chance to stand up.

"Send my will!"

Li Er said excitedly: "Prince Ling must persuade the ghost riders to hand over the secrets of defeating the enemy no matter what, and let them ask for conditions, as long as they are not too much, I can agree!"

"I take orders!" Fang Xuanling clasped her fists and said with a smile.

He was afraid that Li Er would not let go of the conditions, so that he would not be able to persuade the ghost rider.

Just when Fang Xuanling was about to leave, a guard came in from outside the door.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has sent an urgent report."

"What good news did you bring?" Li Er's expression shook, "Fang Aiqing, read it to me."

Fang Xuanling took the playbook from the guard and read it.

In an instant, Fang Xuanling frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Dongpu has started to move."

"Dongying has occupied Qingzhou for a long time, but its next move was not seen. However, just three days ago, spies discovered that tens of thousands of soldiers from Dongying quietly left the city and headed towards Qizhou."

"Tens of thousands?"

Li Er frowned.

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's more than that. According to the battle report, the Dongying people all went out of the city secretly in disguise. Tens of thousands of them were discovered, and there should be more in reality."

"It seems that Dongying is preparing to take down Qizhou in one go."

Dongying had launched attacks on Qizhou several times before, but they were all repelled by Qizhou defender Li Changge.

This time so many people were mobilized, it was obvious that they wanted to have a showdown.

As for Qizhou, after being consumed for so long, its combat power is not as good as before.

This time, the situation in Qizhou is not optimistic.

Li Er deeply understood this reason, frowned and said: "Qizhou must not be lost!"

Fang Xuanling looked thoughtful: "Your Majesty, since the Tuli tribe crossed the Great Wall and occupied Qizhou, Shuozhou and other places, they have been harassing constantly. Changsun Wuji's [-] troops guarding Jinyang could not send troops to Qizhou for support. , and it’s too late in time.”

"And Li Jing only brought less than [-] disabled soldiers to recuperate in Bozhou, so they couldn't support them."

"Now, I think it's too late for Jizhou to send troops to support Qizhou."

For three years, Li Jing guarded Youzhou and repeatedly repelled the Turkic attacks.

Nearly [-] troops have already been exhausted.

And Li Jing was seriously injured, so he had to temporarily retreat to the second line to regroup.

"correct."

Fang Xuanling suddenly thought of something: "Doesn't His Royal Highness have the trump card of ghost riding? If there is a ghost riding a horse, Qizhou will be safe."

"I think so too." Li Er nodded and said.

"The Turks have just withdrawn their troops and will not come back in a short time. Let Jizhou divide [-] troops and go to Qizhou to support them. At the same time, let the ghost riders also go to support Qizhou."

"The minister takes orders!"

Fang Xuanling clasped her fists and left in a hurry.

……

Meanwhile, Qiongzhou.
