Chapter 857: Magical Whistle

Three days, it’s not long or short.

Although I don’t know how Princess Jin Ye operated it, Liu Yi-Yuan had clearly felt the changes in the atmosphere of Gaochang Imperial City.

Some officials in the court were arrested from time to time, and the city guards of the imperial city also began to patrol and inspect the streets and alleys from time to time. Any suspicious people would be taken away for detailed investigation. The entire imperial city was immersed in a very depressing and tense atmosphere.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yi knew that the matter had been done and he had done everything he should do. As for whether the final result could meet expectations, whether he could pull Hou Junji and Li Chengqian and others down in one fell swoop, it depends on what God will.

So Liu Yi's life has been quite comfortable these days. Every day, he sits in front of the window of the private room where he is drunk, drinks a little wine, looks at the deserted streets outside the restaurant, and calculates how long the war can last without the supply from behind.

"Young Master, when will we go back?" Sitting opposite Liu Yi, Liu Cheng poured a glass of wine for their young master and asked softly: "The weather in Gaochang is too strange. It's worse than that in Chang'an."

"Go back?" Liu Yi picked up the wine glass, looked at the sake in the glass and chuckled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Chang'an is naturally going back, but I'm going back alone. As for you, let's stay here first."

"Well?"

"This time I return to Chang'an, good and bad luck are dependent on each other. Whether I can survive is still between," Liu Cheng was a little anxious. Liu Yiuan said indifferently before he asked: "Since you have come out this time, don't go back for the time being. Although the climate here is not good, it is better than not much danger. When Chang'an is in the future, it will not be too late for you to go back after you are sure that there is no danger."

"Young Master!" As if he was greatly humiliated, Liu Cheng stood up from the chair, looked at their young master with a flushed face, and said, "The villain doesn't want to live here! When he goes back this time, even if he is worried about his life, Cheng is willing to live and die with the Liu Mansion!"

Although he didn't quite understand the danger that the young master mentioned in their words, Liu Cheng still instinctively wanted to walk with their young master. No matter whether it was a disaster or a difficult time after returning, Liu Cheng was unwilling to give up the Liu Mansion, which had been very kind to him, and was alone in a peaceful and peaceful place.

"Haha, don't be excited, sit down and talk." Liu Yi chuckled and shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand to signal Liu Cheng to sit down and talk. After Liu Cheng's mood calmed down, Liu Yi continued to say, "I understand your feelings. But letting you stay this time is not entirely for your personal safety. I also want to leave a way out for our mansion."

"I can't say that this restaurant will be the last property of our Liu Mansion in the future," Liu Yi sighed softly: "So now we need a reliable person to guard and manage it here. Although the shopkeeper Liu is kind, he is already old after all, and he has been away from home for a long time, and his character is hard to grasp. Now you are the only candidate who can defend this property for the Liu Mansion."

"This, but," the boss said it very well, but why did Liu Cheng always think that the young master was perfunctory, just an excuse to let him stay in Gaochang.

"Nothing," Liu Yi said: "Stay you here not just for yourself, so I'll take a look at the store. If there is a problem in the future and you don't manage the restaurant, I can't spare you!"

"Yes, young master!" Seeing that their young master was so serious, Liu Cheng nodded and promised Liu Yi: "Young Master, don't worry, you can't guarantee anything else, but the business of this restaurant will definitely not disappoint the young master!"

"Well," Liu Yi nodded lightly, picked up the wine glass and drank it all over, and once again turned his eyes out of the window, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

In Suzhou City, because of a letter from Liu Yiuan, the Tang Dynasty defenders obviously adjusted their strategy to fight against the Gaochang army.

From blind defense before to the current active opportunity, no matter whether it is a loss or a win or a victory, at least one general will go out to challenge the battle every day. If it weren't for the 30,000 Ili Cavalry under Hou Junji's command, it would have probably had several large-scale close contacts.

Speaking of Gaochang's 30,000 cavalry, Li Ji and Gongsun Wude were a headache, sharp and fast, especially when the two armies were facing each other, it was like a sharp sword, which could destroy the brigade at any time. There was no best way to deal with these cavalry, only for horses to replace horses and people to replace people.

But the problem now is that at least three cavalry in the Tang Dynasty can barely replace one Gaochang Iron Cavalry. If you want to replace the 30,000 Ili Iron Cavalry, you will need at least nearly one hundred thousand cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention that there are not so many cavalry in Suzhou City now, even if there are really, Li Ji and Gongsun Wude may not be able to endure it or be willing to change it.

However, if he wanted to hold back the tens of thousands of troops under Hou Junji, his 30,000 cavalry was a real key. If he could not keep the 30,000 cavalry of Gaochang on the battlefield, then if Hou Junji realized that something was wrong in the rear, he could return to Gaochang within two days with just one thought.

Not to mention Liu Yi's plan failure, more importantly, their plan to repel Gaochang in a short period of time and quell the war will be disappointed. If the emperor blames him, Li Ji will not be able to afford it, and his future will inevitably be affected.

Therefore, Li Ji is now very troubled and confused. In addition, Gongsun Wude and King Li Zhi of Jin have also been slightly affected. He is thinking hard every day, hoping to think of countermeasures that can deal with the situation ahead.

On the second day after the Tang army changed its battle strategy, in the camp where King Li Zhi of Jin was, Wang An, who had been with him by Li Zhi but had never said a word, suddenly came to the tent to ask for a meeting.

"Wang An," Li Zhi, who looked up at Wang An, had not yet come up with a countermeasure, frowned slightly and said to Wang An indifferently: "These Japanese kings are busy with their affairs and have no time to practice equestrians anymore. After the war is over, let's continue to practice."

"Reply to Your Highness," Wang An respectfully bowed to Li Zhi and said softly: "The villain came here this time not to urge Your Highness to practice, but to report to Your Highness something else!"

"Oh?" Li Zhi's head, which had already been lowered, couldn't help but raise it up again, turned his head to look at Wang An in confusion, not knowing what this little horse master would have, but thinking about what the master had said before coming, Li Zhi still patiently asked Wang An softly: "What's the matter, you said?"

"The villain knows that your highness has been upset about the 30,000 Yili war horses in the opposite hand of Hou Junji," Wang An bent over again and continued to say: "As for war, a villain knows everything, even if he is willing, he can't help. However, dealing with war horses is the villain's own business, especially the Yili war horses in Hou Junji's hand are tameed by the villain himself, so..."

"You have a way?" Li Zhi couldn't help but lit up when he heard this, and he asked Wang An with some eager voice.

"Please look at your highness," it is not the time to hide it, and Wang An also knew very well that the reason why their young master sent him to the King of Jin's mansion was at this moment. So facing the inquiry of King Li Zhi of Jin, Wang An took out a wooden tool and handed it on, and said softly: "With this thing, the villain can protect the 30,000 strong horses that Hou Junji have no threat anymore!"

"What kind of trick is this?" Li Zhi couldn't help asking Wang An for advice after taking this strange wooden instrument.

"This is a specially made utensil by the boss to train the horse." Wang An replied softly: "Our boss calls this kind of utensil "Whistle."

"Whistle?" Li Zhi was still puzzled, and looked at the thing in his hand that was less than two fingers and asked Wang An, "How to use it?"

"It's very simple," Wang An said directly: "Blow!"

"Dou!Dou!Dou!" A moment later, a very strange beep sound came from His Highness King Jin's tent.

"Just this little thing can help my Tang sergeants deal with the 30,000 Yili cavalry?" After playing with them for a while, after the freshness passed, Li Zhi spoke again to Wang An.

"There is a word called conditioned reflex." Faced with the doubts of His Highness King Jin, Wang An explained calmly: "It's like when you train a horse or a dog, you make a specific sound or a specific action before feeding it. Over time, whenever you make these actions or make these sounds, those dogs, horses, or domestic chickens and ducks will flock to you."

"When the horses were trained in Yantian Ranch, there was only one function of the villain when whistling, that was a sudden stop!" Wang An explained: "That is to say, as long as the villain's whistle sounded, no matter whether the horses were running hard or walking leisurely, they would stop at the first time and stop in place."

"It's so magical?" Wang An's explanation of "conditioned reflex" was easy to understand, but the statement that made the horse stop suddenly was too bizarre, and Li Zhi was really unbelievable.

"If Your Highness doesn't believe it," Wang An said calmly, "Your Highness can practice for Your Highness on the spot. The few thousand-mile horses that the boss gave to Your Highness some time ago were also tamed by the villain. If Your Highness has time, you might as well move to the horse training ground and you will know at a glance."

"Okay!" Li Zhi responded with a high voice and said, "Let's go to the commander's tent to inform General Li first. If this statement is true, I will never treat you badly!"

Li Zhi began to look forward to it. Think about it carefully. If what Wang An said is true, if the 30,000 horses that were galloping suddenly stopped at the critical moment when the two armies were fighting, wouldn't that be... I feel a little scared when I think about it, but for the current Tang army, this is a huge good thing.

Because it is related to the strategy of repelling the enemy, and the 30,000 Yili war horses that caused the most headache for them, after hearing the news, Li Ji, Gongsun Wude, Li Zhen, Gongsun Helan and Xue Rengui and other trusted confidants all rushed to the horse training ground with His Royal Highness King Jin.

After listening to His Highness King Jin explain the situation, everyone looked at the magical "whistle" in Wang An and Wang An's hands.

"Okay, let's start!" Seeing that everyone should have arrived, Li Zhi whispered to Wang An.

"Yes, Your Highness!" After responding, Wang An looked at the thousands of miles of horses that were pulled out and bowed to Li Zhi and reported to him: "First of all, the villain wants to find several generals with excellent riding skills to ride these strong horses on the field and run freely."

Because this experiment was too dangerous, if ordinary soldiers were allowed to do it, not only would they not have good results, but they would still have their lives to worry about their lives. So Wang An put his ideas on Gongsun Helan and Xue Rengui, the young generals who were both good at martial arts and riding skills.

"What's the difficulty? I'll do it first!" As Wang An expected, Gongsun Helan, who could not stand the loneliness, took the lead in standing up, followed by Li Zhen, Xue Rengui, and Cheng Chumo, the deputy general of the army, with a total of four people and four horses.

"I'm sorry, generals," Wang An bowed to the people and continued to say, "When the whistle in the little man's hand sounds, these war horses will suddenly stop. There is a certain danger among them. Please be careful, please don't hurt somewhere."

"Okay, just a few war horses, how can I hurt us?" Gongsun Helan waved his hand impatiently, and then without waiting for Wang An to say more, he rode his horse and whipped it quickly in the empty horse farm. Seeing this, the other three people bowed to King Jin and Li Ji and others to signal, and they also started to ride their horses and gallop. In a short while, they had already caught up with Gongsun Helan who had gone away.

"Your Highness!" After all four riders ran away on the horse farm, Wang An held a whistle and bent over to ask King Li Zhi of Jin for instructions.

"Okay, let's start!" Li Zhi nodded slightly, and his eyes closely watched the four horses running in the field.

"Four generals, be careful!" In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Wang An reminded the four people in the field loudly, and then put one end of the whistle in his mouth: "Puch! Puch!!"

After a serene beep, the front is the moment when Li Ji and Li Zhi and others witness the miracle.

The four galloping horses seemed to have heard the military order, and suddenly stopped and stopped in place. The four people on the horse's back were not so lucky. They turned forward like four balls thrown out by people. Although they all flipped in the air and landed steadily on the ground, their pale faces still made people feel the danger of the moment just now.
