Chapter 108 This seems to be quite credible
Xu Luo's understanding of the military situation made people wonder if he had some mysterious identity. Everyone secretly wondered, how could this guy know everything? They shook their heads and comforted themselves, thinking that Mr. Han must have known the details of these armies before he decided to join the army. If it were someone else who claimed that he had calculated these, His Majesty Li II and others would definitely sneer at him, but coming from Xu Luo's mouth, this thing seemed to be quite credible.
Just as everyone was lost in thought, Cheng Yaojin was already drunk and put on a funny look, shaking his head and asking: "Mr. Han, which army do you think is the most powerful one in our Tang Dynasty now?" This question was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Xu Luo was slightly stunned, then he smiled. Cheng Yaojin's unintentional words aroused the interest of everyone present. Even Wei Zheng, who was usually not interested in the army, stopped eating and looked at Xu Luo curiously. Everyone wanted to know which army could be called the strongest in Xu Luo's eyes.
Xu Luo smiled slightly, picked up a bite of food, and drank the wine in front of him. After a while, he smiled and said, "Old Cheng, your question really hits the nail on the head!" He paused, and then said, "I don't care what others think, but in my opinion, the strongest army is the Black Armor Army!" As soon as the word "Black Armor Army" came out, His Majesty Li II's face suddenly showed joy, while Cheng Yaojin, Du Ruhui and others were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
At this time, Wang Zhaojun, a woman standing next to him, had seductive eyes and slightly parted red lips, and seemed to be attracted by this topic. She caressed her neck carelessly, and her jade-like skin looked even more charming under the light, which made all the men present choke. However, everyone's attention soon returned to Xu Luo, expecting him to continue to reveal more secrets about the army.
Everyone knew it was only a matter of time before Xu Luo mentioned the Black Armor Army. But when he really mentioned the name of the army, even the veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time could not help but feel a little shocked. The Black Armor Army was personally created by His Majesty Li Er. It had accompanied the King of Qin in conquering the world. With only a few thousand people, it had made great achievements and won many victories with fewer troops. But after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the murderous army was said to no longer exist. In fact, it was Li Jing who secretly managed it and sharpened it day and night, like a sword that had not been unsheathed, waiting for the time to be unsheathed. When Xu Luo said this, His Majesty Li Er and others remained calm on the surface, but they became nervous in their hearts.
Cheng Yaojin stroked his chin, looking disapproving. He laughed and said, "Mysterious Armor Army, our emperor did disband it, Mr. Han, isn't it obvious?" Xu Luo just smiled lightly, with a sly look in his eyes, "General Cheng, you only know one side of the story." Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin was stunned, raised his thick eyebrows, and asked, "Oh? Mr. Han, you have something else to say, tell us the truth!"
At this time, the woman Liu Ruyan, who was standing next to him, had her eyes rolling and a smile on her lips. She twisted her willow-like waist slightly, as if she was also curious about what Xu Luo would say next. Her earlobes trembled slightly, as if she was listening to every subtle fluctuation in the air. Her snow-white neck and delicate collarbone were inadvertently exposed, and everyone present was attracted by her charming demeanor.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Luo, who had drunk a lot of wine and had a red face. He looked silly in his drunken state. His tongue was tied, but he smiled slyly and said to Lao Chen and Lao Li, "You two, do you really want to know that secret?" When everyone heard this, they immediately nodded like crazy.
"Okay, I'll tell you today, but you have to remember to keep your mouth shut. This is a taboo in the Tang Dynasty!" Xu Luo said while looking around mysteriously.
"Hahaha, Mr. Han, our mouths are tighter than rocks!" everyone assured in unison.
Xu Luo nodded with satisfaction and began to narrate: "Back then, when the emperor of our Tang Dynasty was still the King of Qin, he was a great hero. He had a small army of black armor soldiers under his command, only about 2,000 people. At that time, the world was in chaos, the eighteen rebel kings were making trouble, and the remnants of the Sui Dynasty were still there."
He paused, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "You all know about the famous siege, right? His Majesty the Emperor led these two thousand black armored soldiers and was surrounded by the 100,000 troops of Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong. At that time, His Majesty only had these few generals around him, and the situation was very dangerous." Xu Luo was so excited that he danced with joy: "It was a matter of life and death! If you don't fight hard, you will only die; if you fight, you may still be able to survive!"
At this moment, Miss Li, who was watching from the side, followed Xu Luo's figure closely with her bright eyes, her red lips slightly parted, as if she was attracted by this heroic history. Her chest rose and fell gently with her rapid breathing. She bit her lips unconsciously. The unintentional temptation made the atmosphere around them even more lively.
"Hey, everyone knows that our emperor's methods are extremely powerful!" Xu Luo recounted with great excitement, as if he were on the battlefield, "With only two thousand soldiers, he defeated Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong's army of more than 100,000 and made them flee in panic. The reputation of the Black Armor Army spread throughout the world overnight!"
He paused, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Since then, there have been countless such victories of the few over the many!"
His Majesty Li II was present, and although his face remained calm upon hearing this, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes. Zhang Sun Wuji and others beside him exchanged glances nervously, as they knew that what Xu Luo was going to say next might touch the Majesty's reverse scale.
"Take the Xuanwu Gate Incident for example. The emperor personally led the army with such momentum that once the city gate was breached, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were killed." Xu Luo became more and more excited as he spoke, but he did not notice that Emperor Li II's expression was gradually becoming gloomy.
At this time, Changsun Wuji, who was beside His Majesty Li Er, could not help but cough lightly, and his eyes clearly reminded Xu Luo not to continue. But Xu Luo was as if he was in an empty space, and he continued to talk non-stop.
"At that time, the emperor's heroic appearance was so majestic!" Xu Luo said as he gestured, as if recreating the scene at that time, "The battle at Xuanwu Gate was so fierce, it still makes people's blood boil!"
His Majesty Li Er's face at this time was like the calm before the storm, while Zhangsun Wuji and others had beads of sweat on their foreheads and their hearts were in their throats. They all knew that the "Prince Yin" and "King Qi" mentioned by Xu Luo were taboos that His Majesty Li Er did not want to mention.
At this moment, Xu Luo still didn't notice, he continued to describe vividly, and the woman next to His Majesty Li Er showed worry in her eyes, she bit her lips gently, and her nervous expression actually added a bit of seductive charm. Her fingers unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and her chest rose and fell slightly, as if silently reminding Xu Luo that some words should not be said at this moment.
