Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Vol 2 Chapter 1586:

"Your Majesty, just now Yonganhou came to the palace and borrowed the telegraph to use it!"

In the afternoon, Zhao Song came to the Ganlu Temple and bowed to Li Er.

The telegraph is specially kept by Zhao Song in the imperial palace. It is not commonly used on weekdays. It is placed in a small room in the Taiji Palace. It is basically regarded as a special-purpose telegraph for the royal family. It is generally not "open to the outside world", but Li Zexuan is a Exception, because he invented the telegraph machine!

So after Zhao Song heard that Li Zexuan was going to borrow the telegraph, after considering it for a while, he did not refuse!

Li Er frowned upon hearing this, and asked: "Telegraph? What did he use the telegraph for? Whom did he send the telegram to?"

Zhao Song replied: "My Majesty, Yonganhou sent a telegram to General Qin, General Cheng and the others, asking where the army is going now and whether it can arrive outside Chang'an before tomorrow?"

Li Er is also a long-term battlefield. Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help saying: "This kid wants to borrow the army of Shubao and the others, and give Tianlongjiao an inside and out attack tomorrow? Good! I Sure enough, he was right! This kid's talent in military formation is no worse than his talent in engineering! He is a man of work!"

In the words, he revealed his unabashed appreciation for Li Zexuan, Zhao Song couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Li Zexuan's holy family was long, there was really no one!

"Thanks to your majesty's wise eyes and beading at the time, otherwise young talents like Yonganhou would most likely be buried in the market!"

Zhao Song smiled, and gave a flattery.

Li Er shook his head, and after a moment of silence, he asked:

"How did Shubao reply?"

"His Majesty, Yonganhou said that General Qin and the others have marched to the same continent. If they marched day and night, they would be able to go outside Chang'an by midnight!"

Zhao Song didn't understand the telegraph, so he could only repeat what Li Zexuan had said before to Li Er.

Hearing the words, Li Er couldn't help nodding, and said: "Okay! So, did Li Zexuan let Shubao and the others lie in ambush after they arrived outside Chang'an City, waiting for the Tianlong Sect to attack Chang'an City tomorrow to cooperate with the defenders inside and outside the city?"

Zhao Song shook his head and said, "No! Yonganhou left after inquiring about the location of the frontline army!"

Li Eryi was stunned, and then he was stunned. He couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Good boy! Do you know how to behave at this time?"

Li Er understood in his heart that Li Zexuan’s move was nothing more than to avoid going beyond his power and avoiding suspicion. He did give Li Zexuan the power to mobilize the army in order to track down the Tianlong Sect conspiracy, but that was just the army in Chang'an City, not including Qin Qiong’s leadership. The army that has just withdrawn from the front!

If Li Zexuan rashly directly ordered Qin Qiong's army how to ambush, even if Li Er could not punish Li Zexuan's crimes, he would feel uncomfortable and create estrangement. Therefore, Li Zexuan only asked Qing Qin Qiong where the army was and left. He believed the old man After Li learned of the situation, he would definitely make an order to Qin Qiong directly through the telegraph, let him lie in ambush outside Chang'an! Don't worry about him at all!

This is exactly what Li Zexuan is smart about! Know how to advance and retreat!

After a pause, Li Er really opened his mouth and said:

"Zhao Song, give orders immediately, let Yonganhou send a telegram to Shubao, order the army to march day and night, set up camp 20 miles outside Chang'an city, be careful to hide it, and after receiving my order tomorrow, immediately send troops to destroy the city outside Chang'an. Rebels!"

With the joint efforts of all teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy, the communication technology of the telegraph machine has become more and more mature. The palace is indeed equipped with a telegraph machine, but there is a shortage of professionals who use it.

A while ago, Li Er also specially selected a few young eunuchs with innocent, clever and loyal backgrounds, and sent them to Yanhuang Academy to learn how to use the telegraph, but those young eunuchs have not yet "returned from their studies," so In order to know the news on Longmen Pass, he also specially called Li Tai back from Yanhuang Academy to help send telegrams and translate messages.

Now that Li Tai is taking the final exam at Yanhuang Academy, he will definitely not be able to make it, so Li Er had to assign the job to Li Zexuan again!

"Old slave follow the order!"

Zhao Song first bowed and promised, and then went on to say: "Hou Yong'an should be at the Yamen of Youwuwei at the moment, and the old slave's depreciation table is going to find Yong'anhou with the telegraph machine!"

"Wait!"

Li Er's expression changed, he stopped Zhao Song, and then asked: "You just said that Li Zexuan is at the Youwuwei Yamen, what is he doing there?"

Zhao Song cautiously replied: "Back to your Majesty, the old slave had heard Yonganhou mentioned that he was going to Youwuwei to transfer troops to investigate the possible existence of Tianlongjiao in Chang'an City!"

"The possible remnants of the Dragon Sect in Chang'an City?"

When Li Er heard the words, he seemed to understand something, his eyes flashed, and his tone faintly said: "Tell Li Zexuan to let him go and investigate. No matter who is involved, he will be strictly handled in accordance with the law and let him not have any fear, because I am his backer! "

The remarks are decisive, but you can also hear Li Er's determination to "break his wrist"!

Zhao Song's heart was stunned, and he bowed and said, "The old slave follows the order!"

"Haha! Haven't seen you for a few months, Rengui, have you been promoted?"

In the outer imperial city, right Wuwei Yamen, Li Zexuan took out the imperial decree and Li Jing's military transfer order, and said his intention to transfer troops, the general who had received him immediately turned around and went out after a while. An "old acquaintance" walked in. It was Liu Rengui, who had made outstanding contributions to Guancheng's suppression of the rebellion and was later promoted by Li Er to the rank of General Youwu Weiyoulang. So Li Zexuan stood up and couldn't help laughing.

Liu Rengui quickly waved his hand and said, "Master Hou, don't want to make fun of me. Now that General Cheng is not in the capital, the final general is only temporarily taking over the affairs of the military for General Cheng!"

In addition to his credit, the reason why Liu Rengui was able to enter the right guard before, there is also a lot of Cheng Yaojin's secretly contributing to the flames! In the first battle of Guancheng, Cheng Yaojin admired Liu Rengui's ability very much, so Lao Cheng asked Li Er to transfer Liu Rengui under his command!

Of course, Liu Rengui did not disappoint Lao Cheng. After joining You Wuwei, Liu Rengui not only worked extremely hard in training, but also few people could match his military strategy and the ability to get along with others, so Cheng Yaojin gradually started. Give Liu Rengui more tasks!

"Haha! Rengui, you are humble! Benhou is a bit regretful now, regretting that Guancheng did not go to the battlefield to fight the rebellion, so that he did not see Rengui fighting Cui and Zheng in the first place!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said.

"Master Hou, you smashed Liu!"

Liu Rengui was a little embarrassed to be praised by Li Zexuan, but thinking of Li Zexuan's intentions, he quickly said with a serious face: "At the end of the day I heard that Lord Hou came to Youwuwei to transfer troops. How many soldiers should Lord Hou transfer? Where will the soldiers and horses be used?"
