"Brat Su, what do you think of this Turkic invasion? Can the Imperial Court stop it?”
"It's hard to say. That depends on what Li Er does.”
"Kid, do you have any ideas? Tell me. If you have any ideas, I might be able to rely on your methods to get promoted.”Li Shimin heard Su Chen calling him Li Er and ignored him.
Father-in-law, what kind of official are you? Your surname is also Li. Don't tell me you're from the royal family?
"Er, yes. The Emperor and I are cousins, but we're a bit far apart, but we can still talk. I'm also an official in the Imperial Army and don't manage things.”Li Shiming didn't know what to say, so he could only lie to Su Chen.
"Is that so? Then you're really not doing well. You haven't even become a prince. Look at Li Xiaogong and Li Zongdao, who are also cousins.”
"That's because their cousins are close to each other and have contributed to the establishment of the Great Tang. Now, you should talk about the Turks."
"If you want the Turks to retreat, the only way is to stop the Turkic attack at the Wei River. With the Wei River here, it will be beneficial for the Great Tang's defense. Then, you can use a diversion tactic in the forest by the river so that the Turks don't know how many soldiers the Great Tang has deployed at the Wei River. Then, you can negotiate with the Turks, but you have to be tough. You have to use a questioning tone to talk to them. The tougher your attitude, the more suspicious the Turks will be. They will think that the Great Tang has an ambush on the other side and will not rashly attack.”
" That's right, continue." Li Shimin listened to Su Chen's words, and it was the same as what Li Jing said.
"It's over. We'll be negotiating from now on. However, I have something good. Go and guarantee to the emperor that you can be a high official.”Su Chen remembered the black gunpowder he had just chosen. It was useless for him to keep it. If his father-in-law used it, he would definitely be able to become a high-ranking official. Then, he would have a backer in the Great Tang.
"What is it?" Li Shi Min asked curiously.
"It's black gunpowder. When you see Li Er, get someone to test it. It will definitely scare him. If you can get Li Er to bury the black gunpowder on the Wei River Turks 'side in advance, the negotiations will go much smoother.”
"Black gunpowder, what is black gunpowder?”Li Shi Min felt strange.
"This black gunpowder can be made into a bomb that can blow up the city wall of Chang 'an.”
"There's also this thing. Quickly take it out for me to see.”Li Shi Min was a bit excited. If there really was such a thing, he wouldn't have to fear the Turks.
" Father-in-law, wait a moment. I'll go get it." Su Chen went to the study after saying that.
After all, he had to put on an act. In the study, Su Chen took out the gunpowder bomb and the formula from the system space. Su Chen made a copy of the formula.
" This is it. Do you see this? This is the bomb I made with gunpowder. This is the fuse. If you light this fuse with fire, the gunpowder bomb will explode." Su Chen placed the gunpowder bomb on the table and told Li Shimin how to use it.
"Such a small thing can blow up the city wall?”Li Shi Min looked at him in disbelief. This kid wouldn't lie to me, right?
"Yes, don't look down on its small size, it's very powerful. You can let the Emperor try a black powder bomb, and you'll know. Also, this thing is very dangerous.”Su Chen was afraid that they would test the gunpowder bomb if they were close. If Li Er was killed, it would be troublesome.
"Alright, I'll go back and find the emperor to let him try.”
"I have eight completed black gunpowder bombs here. This is the formula for you as well. However, father-in-law, you must be careful not to let this thing get close to the fire.”Su Chen kept two gunpowder bombs for himself and gave the rest to his father-in-law. He even gave him the gunpowder formula.
Li Shiming left with the gunpowder bomb and the formula. He wanted to go back and try it out to see if it was as powerful as Su Chen said.
When they arrived at the palace, Li Shimin called Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, and the others over, intending to let them take a look as well.
When Zhangsun Wuji and the others arrived, Li Shiming brought them to a small mountain outside the city and told them to get ready.
"Your Majesty, what is this?" Zhangsun Wuji saw that Li Shiming didn't say anything and brought them here, so he took out a black thing.
The others also looked at this thing, not knowing what it was used for.
" You'll know later." Li Shiming didn't tell them. He didn't know how powerful this thing was, so he might as well let them see for themselves.
"Your Majesty is ready."
" Go light the fuse and run back quickly," Li Shimin said to the eunuch.
The little eunuch immediately went to light the fuse. After lighting it, he quickly ran back. As soon as he came back, he heard it.
a boom
The bomb buried under the hill exploded, and for a moment, gravel flew all over the sky. The black powder bomb buried under the big rock blew up a big hole. It was full of rocks.
Li Shi Min, Zhangsun Wuji and the others were dumbfounded by the scene after the explosion. Their ears were still ringing.
" Your Majesty, what is this thing? It's too scary!" Fang Xuanling exclaimed in fear.
Seeing this, Li Jing ran over excitedly. Looking at the big pit caused by the bomb, he was a little shocked. He didn't expect this black thing to be so powerful. If it was used in a war, Li Jing didn't dare to imagine what could stop them.
" Your Majesty, what exactly are these? They're so powerful that even the city walls can't block them." Cheng Yaojin looked at this thing. The explosion just now had given him a fright, and he still could not calm down.
Li Shiming ignored Cheng Yaojin. Now Li Shiming finally understood what Su Chen had said. If he got close, he would be seriously injured. This thing was too important. He could not let it fall into the hands of the enemy.
"Your Majesty, how many of these are there?" Li Jing quickly asked Li Shiming. This thing was too important. With it, he would have a chance to deal with the Turks.
"We have as many as we want, but we don't have enough time now. We have eight of them and one of them has been used.”Li Shiming was speechless. If Su Chen had taken it out earlier, he wouldn't have to fear the Turks.
"Your Majesty, who gave these to Your Majesty? You must keep an eye on him. Don't let him leak these things.”Zhangsun Wuji knew that this thing was extremely dangerous. If it was leaked, the Great Tang would be in danger.
"That's right. Your Majesty, you must keep an eye on it. If this gets out, it will be a disaster for our Great Tang.”Fang Xuanling said. He had been so frightened that he had fallen to the ground.
