After retiring from the imperial court, Li Chengfeng returned to his Prince Zhen Palace.

Just right, there was a knock on the door.

At first Li Chengfeng thought it was Li Shimin who followed him.

Opening the door, it turned out that it was General Huwei, Qin Qiong?

Li Chengfeng was startled, and said, "Duke Yi, why are you here?"

I saw Qin Qiong's face showing a slightly tired face, and said: "Eighth prince, the old minister came to you because he has something important to do and is kind to you!"

"Well, tell me!"

Li Chengfeng nodded.

Qin Qiong said: "Eighth prince, I just came back from the battlefield and was injured, so I came back early to rest for a while, and go to the battlefield to fight another day!"

"At present, the emperor ordered that Tang will start to besiege the two great empires of Tubo and Turks! I thought it would be a very simple matter after having iron bombs, but in fact, it is much easier than I imagined. It's much harder!"

"Yeah!" Li Chengfeng nodded slightly, and said, "War is never that easy!"

Qin Qiong nodded and said: "Yes, the most terrifying thing is that the Turkic army has already started to use tactics to confront us! They are good at ambush tactics and breakout tactics! They often use soldiers and horses to lure us into the valley, and then surround us from the outside , put us in a difficult situation! Then, using the geographical advantages, attack us with boulders, trees, smoke, rockets and the like! At present, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have also lost a lot. I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through the Turks in a short time. And the main city of Tubo!"

Li Chengfeng said: "Yes, I have already told my father that it is not yet ripe to attack Tubo and Turks now, it is too early! First of all, we don't have enough troops in the Tang Dynasty, and the number of civilian conscription is relatively small! If everyone joins the army, a lot of labor will be lost, and there will be no food at that time, and people will still be starved to death! I wanted to tell my father that in a few years, when people's lives are stable, I will attack Tubo and Turks , it's still too early!"

Qin Qiong nodded in agreement, but sighed, and said, "But at present, the arrow is on the string, and we have to go! We have already conquered a small part of the Tubo city. If we retreat, all previous efforts will be wasted!"

"Eighth Prince, in fact, the old minister came to look for you... Actually..."

"Oh? Then come in quickly, let's talk in the room!"

Li Chengfeng felt that Qin Qiong was hesitant to speak, and there must be something important to tell him.

So, he invited him into his mansion for a chat.

Qin Qiong also came in!

…

In the hall, Li Chengfeng asked Eunuch Wu to pour tea for Qin Qiong.

Li Chengfeng said: "Duke Yi, what important matter do you want to tell me?"

Qin Qiong's face was not very good-looking, and said: "Eighth prince, I haven't told the emperor about this! That is, the way of our iron bomb was learned by the Tibetans!"

"Pfft... what? True or false?"

Li Chengfeng spat out a mouthful of tea.

Qin Qiong nodded and said: "It's true! It is estimated that on the battlefield, there were some unexploded iron bombs that were picked up by the Tibetans. Then they analyzed the materials and methods of making the iron bombs, and took the initiative to develop them! The Eighth Prince , I haven’t told the emperor about this, because I don’t want the emperor to worry about it, so I want to ask you, is there any weapon more powerful than the iron bomb?”

"Oh? So you're looking for a weapon from yourself?"

Li Chengfeng touched his chin, nodded, shook his head again, and said, "To tell you the truth, I have it, but I won't give it to you!"

"Ah?" Qin Qiong's eyes lit up, his face brightened, and said: "Eighth prince, the war is imminent, why don't you give us some powerful weapons? After we finish this battle, we will return them all to you! "

Li Chengfeng shook his head and said: "Not good! You see, iron bombs are very powerful, right? On the battlefield, even if your martial arts are strong, you can't match an iron bomb! Now, the method of iron bombs has been adopted by the Tibetans. You have been taught away, do you still want to be taught by them to make more powerful weapons?"

"If that's the case, the war in the future world will definitely affect countless innocent people! So I can't help you with this favor!"

Li Chengfeng has already said it very straightforwardly.

Qin Qiong sighed and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"

Afterwards, Qin Qiong took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Li Chengfeng, and said, "Eighth prince, during the war, someone sent me a letter, saying name and surname, to be delivered to the eighth prince of the Tang Dynasty." In my hand, I didn't read it, but I brought you the envelope!"

"Okay, thank you Duke Yi!"

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of little effort! But Eighth Prince, if you figure it out, please come to support us with weapons that are more powerful than iron bombs! Otherwise, the soldiers of Tang Dynasty will sacrifice more innocent people in vain. s life!"

Qin Qiong also hopes that the war can be resolved as soon as possible.

But right now, the method of making the iron bomb is mastered by the Tibetans.

In addition, recently, it has been raining continuously.

The weather is not suitable for fighting at all, so it is not possible to withdraw to Datang after a lot of effort.

The entire army consumes a lot of food every day, but they can't attack, so Qin Qiong is naturally anxious.

Li Shimin didn't order the troops to retreat, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

If the Eighth Prince would help, Qin Qiong believed that this war would end soon.

They did not seek to eliminate the two major enemy countries, Tubo and Turks, they only hoped that the two empires could surrender and become vassal states of the Tang Dynasty.

However, how could Tubo and Turks surrender when their forces were equal?

Moreover, they have learned how to make iron bombs now.

So, this will be a tough battle!

…

After Qin Qiong left, Li Chengfeng also opened the letter in his hand.

The letter paper is a little wrinkled, and there are some watermarks and dirt on it.

Li Chengfeng opened it, and when he saw the first line of big characters, his eyes widened instantly. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com

"Feng'er, how are you doing recently? I am your mother, Cheng Yingying!"

Mother, Cheng Yingying?

Li Chengfeng immediately gave a jolt.

Ever since he crossed the Great Tang, Li Chengfeng has always had a beautiful figure in his mind.

And this person is his mother Cheng Yingying.

It can be said that in Li Chengfeng's mind, there are memories of his childhood.

In my memory, the woman with a plump body and gentle eyes raised him single-handedly, and finally disappeared without a trace one night!

In recent years, Li Shimin has also been sending troops to the Tang Dynasty to search for the whereabouts of his mother Cheng Yingying, but they have never been found.

But now, his mother personally wrote a letter to Li Chengfeng, can this not make Li Chengfeng excited?

Li Chengfeng continued to read.
