Li Yunhao slammed his palm on the table.”
Shi Yongan was so nervous that his forehead was sweating." Zhao Zheng's father is Chai Shao's general. The military power in Zhao Zheng's hands originally belonged to Chai Shao. If the prefect doesn't want to fight with them, he can use steel bricks and cement to compromise with them.”
According to Li Yunhao's analysis, Zhao Zheng did not just want to help Chai Shao take revenge for stealing his wife. His goal was the pure steel unique to Jade Gate Pass.
"I, Li Yunhao, will never compromise. Chai Shao and Zhao Zheng want to fight, so I'll wait for them."”
Shi Yongan felt that Li Yunhao was too conceited.""Young people are hot-tempered and don't know how to deal with the world in a smooth way. I hope you can speak and never use your hands.”
Li Yunhao's thoughts were exactly the opposite of Shi Yongan's."The best way to deal with an enemy is to beat him to the ground. If one time doesn't work, then two or three times until he's completely crippled.”
The Jade Gate Pass had cement walls as fortifications. If they trained the Kunlun slaves and the mine slaves in a short period of time, they could at least fight a defensive battle.
Shi Yong 'an sighed."The number of soldiers at Jade Gate Pass, including the Kunlun slaves, is only 2000. Chai Shao and Zhao Zheng's troops add up to at least 50,000. This battle will not be easy to fight."”
"Even 100,000 troops won't be able to break through Jade Gate Pass," Li Yunhao replied calmly.”
Shi Yongan had seen countless people, but he could not catch a trace of fear on Li Yunhao's face. Instead, he could sense the excited smile that only a sovereign could have.
In Shi Yong 'an's mind, Li Yunhao had turned into a giant dragon lurking in a reed pond. This giant dragon was waiting for its prey to take the bait.
Shi Yongan still wanted to continue doing business with Jade Gate Pass, so he couldn't be too sure."I hope that I can see Lord Prefect the next time I come to Jade Gate Pass.”
Before Shi Yongan left, he kindly reminded Li Yunhao,""Chai Shao's army will take a detour through Hanjiang Pass and attack Jade Gate Pass from the northwest. Zhao Zheng of Liangzhou will be in charge of attacking Jade Gate Pass from the east gate.”
"Chai Shao is going to Hanjiang Pass?" Li Yunhao asked in surprise.”
Shi Yong 'an nodded." When I left Liangzhou, I saw Chai Shao leading his troops to take a long detour. They were definitely going to Hanjiang Pass."”
Li Yunhao started to worry about Fan Lihua. She might encounter Chai Shao's 20,000 soldiers on her way back to Hanjiang Pass.
Li Yunhao put on his light armor and summoned the lieutenant.
"Order the soldiers with military ranks to gather 50 strong soldiers to follow me to the northwest to save the people.”
Ten minutes passed.
Li Yunhao led 50 well-equipped cavalrymen out.
The soldiers on the city wall looked at the cavalry with envy.
"I really envy their expedition. I also want to serve the Great Tang and contribute to the Jade Gate Pass.”
"Come on, you just want a set of cavalry equipment.”
" Brother, you've seen through it, so let's not talk about it, alright? The soldiers who go on the expedition can get the latest three-piece cavalry set. It would be strange if I'm not tempted. Three-edged arrows, cavalry scimitars, and alloy armor.”
"Last time, I tested the triangular arrowhead at the shooting range. One arrow can pierce through a wooden stake as thick as a bowl. It can definitely penetrate the enemy's defense.”
"The cavalry's scimitar can cut through the enemy's armor with the inertia of the charge.”
"The alloy armor has extremely high defensive power. It weighs only 20 jin and cannot be penetrated by ordinary arrows. It is even sturdier than the armor that the Turks are proud of.”
The soldiers watched as the selected cavalrymen set out, and could only obediently stay on the city wall.
This was Li Yunhao's second expedition to Jade Gate Pass. After the last victory against the Turkic mountain bandits, the morale of the Jade Gate Pass was high, and the soldiers hoped to go out to fight and gain military merits.
Li Yunhao rode on his horse to reduce the air resistance. The 50 cavalrymen followed closely behind him.
In ancient times, ordinary warhorses could travel at a speed of 35 kilometers per hour. Hanjiang Pass was 300 miles away from Jade Gate Pass, so they could reach Hanjiang Pass in four hours at most.
The lieutenant rode his horse and quickly approached Li Yunhao.""The scout is waving a red flag on the left. He might have discovered Chai Shao's army.”
