As Su dingfang returned to Yumen pass with the wounded firearm guards, another 800 Li rush started from Yumen pass and reported the Tubo ambush against the firearm guards to chaotang. At this time, it was only two days away from the previous 800 Li rush.
"Two 800 mile expeditions in two days, and they are all about the firearms prison. The sensation in Chang'an city must be no less than the two big explosions of the firearms prison." Su dingfang settled the wounded soldiers and sighed.
But it's not over yet. What's more powerful is still behind. The mojiazi pursued the Tibetan remnant army in the direction of 800 miles of the vast sea. Whether it was successful or not, it must be the third big bang.
At the Yumen pass, the officials of the Ministry of industry watched the soldiers of Yumen pass bring back a large number of wounded soldiers. When they inquired carefully, they were surprised. They didn't expect that the first batch of successful firearms supervisors were ambushed by Tubo cavalry. What shocked him more was that the firearms supervisors won.
"My Lord, there are a lot of wounded firearm supervisors now. I'm afraid I can't leave in a short time. Don't we have to hurry up for the construction period." a craftsman from the work department said cautiously.
"Fool, this time we should not only finish the work, but also speed up the completion." an anxious way appeared on the face of the Work Department official.
"Why is this?" the craftsman puzzled.
"Why?" the official of the Ministry of work said with a bitter smile: "the court must be angry when such a big thing happened to the firearm supervisor and the Mohist school. If the Ministry of work doesn't know the phase again, it will offend the bad luck at this time, won't it kill itself?"
When the craftsman heard the speech, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He saw with his own eyes that two 800 mile expedited letters were sent one after another. His Majesty must be angry. I'm afraid no one will benefit at this time.
Immediately, with the urging of the officials of the Ministry of works, the whole brick road project immediately stepped up to complete in the shortest time,
At the same time, two 800 Li expeditions from front to back are rapidly heading for Chang'an city. Although it is only two days away, under the joint action of brick road and post station, a chemical reaction has burst out. In Yumenguan and Lanzhou sections, it is enough to travel 800 Li a day. Two 800 Li expeditions are enough to stagger 1500 Li.
"Lanzhou post station, 800 Li hurry!" the second 800 Li hurry post soldier rode to Lanzhou post station and shouted.
Lanzhou post station was surprised. In just two days, there were two 800 Li expeditions. Great things must have happened in the western regions.
The head of the post station quickly welcomed him and carefully checked it. After seeing that Su dingfang's mark was correct, he immediately exchanged new horses for the post soldiers. If it was ordinary letters, most of them were handed over by people and horses. However, most of the important letters such as 800 Li rush were changed without changing people. After all, many things were unclear, A person familiar with the situation is also required to describe the process in detail.
"Finally passed Lanzhou, and Chang'an city is not far away!" the second 800 mile expedited post soldier sighed on the wide brick road outside Lanzhou.
If someone had said so before, he would have been regarded as a madman. However, what the courier said at the moment is not unreasonable. After Lanzhou, both the scale of the courier station and the conditions of the brick road are much better. Moreover, if he can travel day and night at full speed, he can travel thousands of miles a day. This speed has been set a record by the messenger of success some time ago, It caused quite a stir in the post station.
"I'll leave for Lanzhou two days next night, and the previous batch of 800 Li expedited should have arrived at Chang'an city!" the post soldier said in his heart.
What he guessed was right. The first batch of 800 Li expedited day and night had indeed reached Chang'an City, and the time of arrival was late at night.
Li Shimin and empress Chang sun were resting in the Lizheng hall when a sudden knock on the door sounded.
"Your Majesty, your majesty!" pound called anxiously outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, when father Pang knocked at the door late at night, there must be something urgent." empress Chang sun woke up and called up Li Shimin, who looked reluctant.
"If this old slave doesn't have a good reason, I can't spare him!" Li Shimin said angrily.
At the service of empress Chang sun, Li Shimin put on his clothes, walked out of the hall door and frowned, "what's the matter?"
"Tell your majesty, there is an 800 Li urgent letter from Yumen pass!" pound quickly handed the 800 Li urgent letter in his hand.
"Yumen pass, eight hundred miles to hurry up." Li Shimin was suddenly surprised. Yumen pass is an important border town. According to the past amazement, whenever there is an eight hundred miles to hurry up at the border, it must be a military war. However, now the 100000 troops of the Tang Dynasty have just won Gaochang, Li Shimin doesn't think anyone dares to invade Yumen pass.
With doubts, Li Shimin opened the eight hundred miles to hurry. Seeing the secret letter inside, he immediately shouted angrily, "Tubo is so brave!"
"What's the matter?" empress Chang sun hurriedly asked.
Li Shimin's face was blue and said, "five thousand Tibetan cavalry ambushed the firearm prison outside Yumen pass!"
"What's the result of ambushing the firearm supervisor?" empress Chang sun was surprised. She wanted to know that the firearm supervisor was in charge of the most confidential weapons and gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty, and it made a big splash in the battle of Gaochang, and the firearm supervisor offered wine to their son-in-law Merton.
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I don't know the news now, but I have no intention. In addition, the number of Tubo cavalry is five times that of firearms prison:
Li Shimin didn't go on, but empress changsun already understood that this time, I'm afraid the Mohist and the firearms prison will be more or less dangerous.
"Merton......" the eldest grandson queen trembled. Once Merton had an accident, what would Princess Changle do?
Empress changsun was weak. Li Shimin quickly comforted: "the firearm supervisor has the most powerful gunpowder. Merton spared no effort to increase the armament for the firearm supervisor. In addition, this boy has always been smart. Even if he can't defeat the 5000 Tibetan army, it shouldn't be a big problem to keep his life."
The eldest grandson empress cares about her daughter and worries about Merton. However, Li Shimin doesn't want anything to happen to the Merton family. In addition to being his son-in-law, Merton still holds the secret recipe of gunpowder and is the key figure of the new generation of hundred schools of thought.
Once the Mo family had an accident, whether Merton was captured or killed in the war, it would be an unbearable loss for Datang.
"By the way, keep it a secret. Don't tell Changle first. Su dingfang has gone to rescue Merton and plans for the next step." Li Shimin took a deep breath.
"I understand!" empress Chang sun nodded. Now Princess Changle is pregnant. If she suddenly heard the bad news of Merton and moved her vitality, I'm afraid she can't regret it.
After appeasing the empress Chang sun, Li Shimin walked out of the legislative hall. Suddenly, his face changed and said, "summon all the ministers. Be sure to find out the truth."
Five thousand Tibetan cavalry quietly lurked outside the Yumen pass and accurately ambushed the most important firearms prison in the Tang Dynasty, which must be full of fog.
"Yes!" pound answered.
Soon, a group of palace guards rode around to give orders, and the residence of all officials was brightly lit again.
