Chapter 788: The Power of Yunzhou
Mei Tang held his head high, as if Ban Chao was possessed: "Come and kill me if you dare."
The Tibetan envoy drew his sword and cursed inwardly, saying that this man was so ignorant and so arrogant. It would be unjust if he didn't take action himself!
Just when the Tubo envoys joined the battle, an iron hawk rode a fast horse and galloped all the way from the palace to the Jiuxian Tower.
"The prince has ordered that you must not be rude to Madam Su!"
Um?!
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Is there going to be another twist in today's drama?
Jiang Tangwen and Li Yuanhao looked at each other, neither of them knowing what had happened.
Fortunately, the Iron Hawk who was in charge of delivering the message did not keep the person in suspense. He explained the situation in a rapid succession of words, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
"The envoy to Yongzhou has returned. Zhuge Yu of Yunzhou led his army to capture the rebel Xie family of Yongzhou."
ha?
That's it?!
The Xie family of Yongzhou is no match for Duke Yun. Is it necessary for Xixia Crown Prince Li Deming to change his attitude 180 degrees?
The envoys from various countries looked at each other, trying to exchange information, but the Uighur envoys and the Tibetan envoys had no intention of communicating at all.
When they heard Tie Yaozi's message, they turned around and left.
The three kingdoms of Western Xia, Uighur and Tubo were neighboring countries. They were wary of each other and had a deep understanding of each other.
Li Deming, the prince of Western Xia, looks smiling, but he is good at fighting and is a real smiling tiger.
He never made any public statement about Su Yunyan's detention. After all, it was Li Jiqian who ordered Su Yunyan to be detained.
On the surface, it was difficult for him, the crown prince of Western Xia, to refute Li Jiqian.
Now, he was so eager to protect Su Yunyan!
This shows that Yun Guogong Xiu’s fist was too big and it directly intimidated Li Mingde!
"How powerful is it?" The Uighur envoy had no idea.
They are all peoples on horseback. The Western Xia had the Iron Harriers, and the Uighurs also had the Manichean religious army.
The Battle of Yongzhou alone was enough to make Western Xia suspend its plot to strangle him.
It sounds like a fairy tale.
The face of the Tibetan envoy was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
Apart from the Emperor of the Great Zhou, the ones who were most willing to strangle Yunzhou were the Tubo people.
Tubo and Yunzhou were not adjacent to each other, but Da Zhou and Xixia, which participated in the war, were Tubo's neighbors.
Using the least cost to consume future enemies. Tubo had high expectations for the strangulation plan.
The Uighur envoy, like a troublemaker, deliberately whispered in the Tibetan envoy's ear: "Oh, I'm afraid your plan is going to fail."
The Tubo envoy glared at him hatefully and left in big strides. He wanted to find out what had happened in Yongzhou!
Those who shared the same idea as him included Jiang Tangwen and Li Yuanhao in Jiuxian Tower.
Li Yuanhao suppressed his anxiety and sent Su Yunyan back to the palace.
Mei Tang and others naturally did not want to be separated from Su Yunyan, so Li Yuanhao had to place them in the palace next to Su Yunyan.
The spring breeze is gentle and the sun is bright.
Su Yunyan and Mei Tang looked at each other under the shade of the tree.
Su Yunyan blinked: "Mother won?"
Mei Tang touched his neck and found the head was steady.
When making harsh remarks, he is not afraid of being torn to pieces.
Afterwards, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know where he got the courage from to actually sacrifice his precious life.
Mei Tang was in a daze: "It should be a big win."
This day was really exciting.
Everyone's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and fatigue surged over them like a tide.
Wei Mu Shuangyang sent someone to invite Su Yunyan to attend the dinner, but Su Yunyan had neither the energy nor the mood to attend, so she directly refused.
If it had happened yesterday, Wei Mu Shuangyang would have definitely sent people to invite him again and again, and would have been very forceful.
Today, after Su Yunyan refused, Wei Mu Shuangyang not only did not force her, but was very considerate and said a lot of soft words.
Overnight, the Xixia royal family's attitude towards Su Yunyan and Mei Tang changed drastically, and they treated them as VIP guests.
The next day, Su Yunyan yawned and said with emotion: "My mother once said that when people climb to a certain height, the world will become a beautiful place. Similarly, when the country is strong, the people will have a smooth journey abroad."
Mei Tang's eyes were dark and blue. He couldn't sleep all night last night. He only closed his eyes briefly at dawn.
Before coming to Xixia, he made many plans, but none of them were used.
The biggest crisis was at Jiuxian Tower, but it was quickly resolved.
"Don't worry. Zhao San went to the merchants early in the morning to buy the Yunzhou Weekly. Soon, we will know what happened."
"Huh? No one stopped Zhao San?"
“No.”
Su Yunyan sighed: "The Li family changes their attitude so quickly."
The merchants who sold "Yunzhou Weekly" arrived in Xixia almost at the same time as the Xixia envoys.
When I was in Tongwan City, more than half of the "Yunzhou Weekly" were sold out.
In order to expand the market in Xingqing Prefecture, merchants forced to keep a small part of the Yunzhou Weekly.
It turned out to be an extremely wise decision.
The Tubo, Uighur, Gaochang Kingdoms, and other envoys from the Western Regions were all scrambling to buy the Yunzhou Weekly.
Before Yunzhou Weekly had a chance to enter the civilian market, it was completely divided up by the upper class.
"Oh my god!!! Cannons are really that powerful?!"
"The Xixia envoy saw it with his own eyes, so it must be true. Yunzhou's firearms have improved again!"
Point fire!
With such a high city wall between them, the Yunzhou soldiers could fire bursts of fire with firearms.
Li Yuanhao and Li Deming both shuddered, their hearts felt as if they were being tightly grasped by a pair of huge hands, their scalps were numb, and their hairs stood on end.
Even a sharpshooter cannot hit the target every time in such a situation.
But Yunzhou soldiers can!
They can have as many sharpshooters as they have firearms.
Imagine you are standing on the wall, directing a battle, and suddenly, a firearm hits you!
You don’t know when the other party will shoot, you don’t know how far the other party’s shooting range is, and you don’t even know how you died.
Li Deming felt a chill extending from his spine to his entire body, and he seemed to be shrouded in the shadow of death.
"Our Iron Kite..."
It’s over!
Yunzhou firearms and artillery are definitely epoch-making weapons! It will completely rewrite the war model.
The city wall of Xingqing Prefecture is not high enough. It can block bows and arrows but not muskets.
The walls of Xingqing Prefecture were not thick enough to withstand the artillery fire from Yunzhou.
Li Yuanhao was disheartened. His future and the future of Western Xia seemed to have collapsed in the blink of an eye. It was like ruins coming into view, and all the scenery had lost its original color.
"Yunzhou, you didn't lie."
The first people to experience the power of Yunzhou firearms were the Tatars, but no one believed it. Everyone thought that this was the loser's last attempt to save their reputation.
The second person to experience firearms was Da Zhou, but still no one believed it. Everyone thought it was a deterrent from Duke Yun.
The one experiencing the firearms now is Yongzhou, and this time, everyone has to believe it because there are people experiencing it firsthand on the scene!
So who's next?
Great Zhou? Tubo? Goryeo? Or Xixia?
The first chapter of tomorrow's series was posted in advance today.
Ha ha.
I have a cold and my head is dizzy.
