Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Then, Yuan Youwei led the recorder to join the army (the recorder is not the chief of staff, but is equivalent to the supervisor of the army, and has the right to play directly). Du Shanguo reported: "The weather is about to warm up. Since February, Lingzhou has fought against Turkic scouts more than a hundred times, with more victories than defeats, more than three hundred beheads!"

However, when Li Yuan saw Chen Ying's memorial, he almost turned his nose in anger.Li Yuan scolded angrily: "Liu Zhongzhi, you bastard, you have failed my high expectations."

However, within a few days.Prince Li Jiancheng's illness suddenly worsened, he vomited up and down, but he didn't get better, and now he suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma, Li Yuan suddenly became anxious: "Come here, let me drive you to the East Palace!"

While they were talking, a man in tattered eunuch uniform broke in, and he knelt down in front of Li Yuan while screaming in shock, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is not good... Then... the surname is Chen!" It's the other way around..."

A stench emanated from him, and Li Yuan couldn't help but look at this person.After a while, the man who looked extremely embarrassed turned out to be Liu Zhongzhi.Li Yuan was almost fainted by the stench emanating from Liu Zhongzhi's body, and immediately covered his nose and scolded: "You bastard, what's wrong, and who is wrong?"

Liu Zhongzhi finally came to Chang'an like a bereaved dog.Since leaving Lingzhou these days, Liu Zhongzhi has been terrified, like a frightened bird, worried day and night.In his dream, Chen Ying chopped off his head.So he traveled non-stop along the way, day and night. Originally, Lingzhou to Chang'an was more than [-] miles away, but Liu Zhongzhi actually spent seven days arriving in Chang'an on the tenth day of February in the second year of Wude.

For the past seven days, Liu Zhongzhi, like the other guards in the palace, ate, drank, and ate on horseback.But eunuchs, a rare species, are different from normal men. They don't have penis, and when they pee, they can easily splash on themselves.In just seven days, Liu Zhongzhi turned himself into a famous brand in later generations - Laotan sauerkraut.

Liu Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that even Pei Ji was there, and immediately shrank his neck, faltering and saying, "That's... that's the chief executive of Lingzhou, Chen Ying..."

As soon as the words came out, Pei Ji was startled, but his face remained calm, as if he hadn't heard it.

Hearing this, Li Yuan suddenly remembered Chen Ying's memorial, he glanced at Liu Zhongzhi, and said, "Tell me carefully!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhong heard the words, recalled the pain of these bumpy days, and couldn't help but feel sad, tears poured down like a flood that broke the gate: "Your Majesty... slave, I almost never see you again... ...the one surnamed Chen, he is about to rebel, and almost killed the servant to sacrifice the flag, if the servant hadn't escaped quickly when he saw it, the servant would... never see His Majesty again."

Although Liu Zhongzhi performed very well, but because of his preconceived notions, Li Yuan believed that Liu Zhongzhi was acting. Even if his acting skills were three-pointed, Li Yuan still didn't believe it at all.

Li Yuan said coldly: "Okay, how did he go against it?"

As eunuchs, they have only one master, and that is the Nine-Five Supreme.There are thousands of eunuchs in the palace, but there are only a handful of them who can stand out, and every eunuch who can stand out is a genius.Of course, the ability to observe words and expressions is as pure as fire.Liu Zhong heard the dissatisfaction in Li Yuan's heart, and was startled: "What's going on, the wind direction is wrong?"

Liu Zhong said straightly: "He colludes with the enemy bandits, recruits surrenders and accepts traitors...steals and sells armaments, sells officials and nobles..."

Having said that, Li Yuan's face became colder and colder: "Is there any more?"

Liu Zhongzhi shuddered: "No...no...no more!"

"Come on!" Li Yuan yelled in a deep voice, "Pull this dog slave out, stick...death!"

"Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am wronged!"

Several burly eunuchs rushed forward, pulled Liu Zhongzhi up and walked out without any explanation.From time to time, Liu Zhongzhi's shrill screams sounded outside the hall.

Li Yuan suddenly smiled nonchalantly: "Jian Pei, do you think this Chen Ying has any ambitions?"

Pei Ji frowned deeply, and Li Yuan's question also made him puzzled.

Chen Ying must be ambitious, he can fully satisfy Liu Zhongzhi's threat, and if the problem can be solved with money, then it is not a problem at all.Chen Ying was originally from an unknown family, and was originally the Shumo Shutong of Su Hu, the county magistrate of Wannian County.

If Chen Ying had no ambitions, he really couldn't see it right now.The geographical location of Lingzhou is really important, whether it is the Turks, the Liangshidu or the Tang Dynasty, they all regard Lingzhou as the throat.Whether facing the Turks or the Liang Shidu, Chen Ying can have both sides and is up for grabs.

However, Chen Ying scolded Lu Jilan to death, openly scolded Liang Shidu, and basically cut off the way for Liang Guo.

Pei Ji is a smart person, he now knows that Li Yuan only suspects Chen Ying, this doubt itself is not convincing, but Pei Ji's cleverness is that he does not want to bear the crime of inspection, nor does he want to offend Chen Ying, a rising star in the Tang Dynasty .

Therefore, Pei Ji bowed and said: "I am stupid, I can't figure out this person!"

Chapter 59 Leading Soldiers to VIPs (One More)

"I can't figure it out!" The three words naturally exposed Pei Ji's cautiousness in dealing with the world.But these three words can also have many interpretations.

Li Yuan was silent for a moment.

Pei Ji asked: "If he is ambitious, why did he reject Liu Zhongzhi?"

Li Yuan suddenly realized.

Although Liu Zhongzhi's appetite is not small, compared with Jiangshan Sheji, it is not worth mentioning at all.What's more, the northwest is bitter and cold, and although there is a lot of land, it is very barren. The area that Li Yuan allocated to Chen Ying's nominal jurisdiction is equivalent to Lingwu County in the Han Dynasty. Based on the principle of ten households supplying one ding, Chen Ying should control such a small population, and five thousand soldiers is the limit. Even if he has ambitions, so what?

At this time, Pei Ji said again: "Even if Chen Ying is ambitious, he is still too young!"

Hearing this, Li Yuan was completely relieved.

Chen Ying is now a weak crown. In this era, there is a saying that he has no hair on his mouth and can't do things well.Even if there are heroes, they will not follow Chen Ying's example. Without soldiers, generals, and counselors to help, Chen Ying wants to do something, but even if he wants to, he will be powerless.

Li Yuan boarded the jade scorpion and walked towards the East Palace.

Looking at Li Yuan's back, Pei Ji smiled wryly.

Li Yuan was very suspicious, but Pei Ji knew that Datang didn't have the strength to make a fuss at the moment.Stability overwhelms everything, not to mention Chen Yingwei's rebellion, even if he really rebelled, he must hold his nose and admit it, because Datang really has no way to establish a person who is helpless even the mighty Turks.

Although Pei Ji and Li Yuan have a very good personal relationship, it doesn't mean that their ideas and thoughts are generally the same.

As the saying goes, the butt determines the head, because the two people are in different positions, and naturally they think about problems from different angles.Li Yuan is the emperor, and the starting point for him to consider things has always been the country and society of the Li family.As long as his dominance is threatened, get rid of this person without hesitation.

In the process of competing for the world with Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong, both Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande were defeated and surrendered to Li Tang.However, the treatment of the two is quite different.Although Dou Jiande was defeated and surrendered, Li Yuan beheaded Dou Jiande without hesitation, because Dou Jiande was kind and won the hearts of the people.For Li Tang, this was a ticking time bomb.

After Wang Shichong was taken to Chang'an, Li Yuan released him. Although he was killed by Dugu Xiude in the end, in fact it was a personal enmity and had nothing to do with Li Yuan.The only reason why Li Yuan let Wang Shichong go is because Wang Shichong abused torture and lost his heart.Even if Wang Shichong were to return to Dongdu, he would not even be able to recruit the old department.There is no threat to Li Tang, so he can live.

But Pei Ji's considerations are different from Li Yuan's. What he considers is the country and the people's livelihood. Chen Ying is a good general. If he is forced to rebel by Li Yuan, he will definitely set a bad example.Who would dare to surrender to Li Tang in the future?

Therefore, even if Chen Ying really objected, as long as he did not formally raise the flag of rebellion, Pei Ji would not agree to strangle Chen Ying in the cradle.Because in this way, it will aggravate Li Tang's process of unifying the world.If it was time for Chen Ying to rebel, Li and Tang's troops would be justified in suppressing Chen Ying.

If you want to talk about the biggest difference between Li Yuan and Pei Ji, Pei Ji is just black-bellied, while Li Yuan is black from heart to outside.

……

When Liu Zhongzhi left Lingzhou and returned to Chang'an, Chen Ying was still like a normal person, living as he wanted.But Zhang Shigui, Zhang Huaiwei, Liu Tong, Duan Shigan, Liang Zan and others were worried. In their dreams, they were worried that the imperial army would kill Lingzhou or declare Chen Ying a rebel.

However, the thing that made everyone fearful did not happen in the end.

Chen Yingze still led the troops out for training normally, and from time to time led the cavalry for a walk around Huaiyuan where the Turkic Khan tent was located.

Although Chen Ying never launched a large-scale attack on Huaiyuan, Chuluo Khan was terrified.

He made up his mind that as soon as spring came and the weather turned warmer, he would immediately lead the Turkic people northward, and even if they froze to death in Mobei, they would never come to Huaiyuan.

This is so scary.

Although the number of cavalry led by Chen Ying was not large, it was only a thousand or five.But no matter how many cavalry the Turks dispatched to drive them away, they were all meat buns beating dogs, and they never returned.Now the entire Huaiyuan City, the Turkic people are in a state of panic all day long.

Donggong Youwei led the generals He Yuejing, Gao Yunquan, Lu Decao, Wei Wenzhong and others. Chen Ying did not let them return to Chang'an immediately, but took them for daily and nightly drills.Of course, Chen Ying is still very grateful for Li Jiancheng's kindness.He also doesn't want eight years later, if Datang continues to operate according to the original historical trajectory, the change of Xuanwu Gate will eventually be irreversible, and help Li Jiancheng train a professional and regular army, so that Li Jiancheng will not lose too badly .

Chen Ying didn't think conceitedly that he would be the winner of this destiny game, he just wanted to do his best and obey the destiny.In fact, before Xuanwu Gate, it was useless to remind Li Jiancheng.Wei Zheng also reminded Li Jiancheng more than once that if he wanted the society to be stable, he must kill King Qin, but it was a pity that Li Jiancheng didn't listen to it at all.

At this time, Chen Ying trained the generals led by Donggong Youwei as ordinary soldiers, and gave them some military knowledge of later generations, although this knowledge is only microscopic and tactical.But it is undeniable that these things are very important.

On February 27, the second year of Wude, Chen Ying was blocked in the general manager's mansion by Liang Zan, Zhang Huaiwei, Zhang Shigui, Liu Tong, Bi Xin and other core personnel.

Chen Ying looked at the restless crowd, and said with a leisurely smile, "Why, I can't bear it anymore!"

Liu Tong really doesn't understand Chen Ying's actions in this series of incidents. If he really wants to stand on his own, he should kill Liu Zhongzhi, cut off the news of Chang'an, and then form an alliance with Liang Shidu and Turkic respectively to prevent mutual aggression .Prepare fully again to face Tang Jun.But Chen Ying not only let Liu Zhong go straight back to Chang'an, but everything went on as usual, neither preparing materials and equipment, nor preparing for war.
