……

In March, the mountains and rivers are rising, the trees are revived, the grass is turning green, the flowers are blooming, and the face is not cold when the breeze blows, but the willow catkins that come with the wind can't be blown away, which is annoying.The huge political machine of the imperial court was in full swing and began to prepare for the defense of Liu Wuzhou's attack on Jinzhou.

But Qin Wang's family was frustrated, and temporarily hibernated and waited.

Of course, Li Jiancheng had already seen Li Yuan's true intentions, and did not pursue the King Qin's family fiercely.

On the official road of Fengxiang Road, a group of sturdy cavalry appeared. These more than [-] cavalry guarded a large carriage and walked slowly forward.On the one hand, Chen Zi Datao was hunting in the wind.

In the carriage, Chen Ying and Xu Erniang were sitting opposite each other.Facing Xu Erniang, Xu Jingzong's cousin, Chen Ying also couldn't laugh or cry.Xu Jingzong didn't know what tricks he used to make Xu Erniang, who opened an inn in Chang'an, willingly give up her business and work as a cook in Chen Ying's mansion, and the monthly salary was the same.

I'm afraid this amount of money is not enough for Xu Erniang to earn a day from opening an inn.There is no way to get to the bottom of this kind of thing. Being a cook is fake, but sending beautiful women is real.But Chen Ying really didn't dare to refuse Xu Erniang.

Xu Jingzong's doing this must mean that there is no silver 300 taels here.

Chapter 94 Wang Bo Jiangtang (Second update)

The Weishui River is the largest tributary of the Yellow River. At the same time, the Weihe River Basin is also the birthplace of Emperor Xuanyuan and Shennong Yandi, the first ancestors of the humanities.Crossing the Wei River and heading north means that Chen Ying has completely left Chang'an.

People yearn for the prosperity and excitement of Chang'an, but Chen Ying dislikes the city of Chang'an very much. He feels that as long as he enters Chang'an, he is like a bird in a cage.The moment he left Chang'an City, Chen Ying felt indescribably comfortable all over his body.

When the carriage wheeled and rolled on the temporary bridge over the Weishui River, Chen Ying's brain was full of thoughts. It was this temporary bridge that eight years later, Li Shimin set up a trick on the temporary bridge and formed an alliance with the Turkic Jieli Khan to kill the white horse. The price was also quite huge. Li Shimin gave all the money in the Chang'an treasury to Jieli Khan.

Chen Yingman thought maliciously, as long as he was in Lingzhou for one day, the Turks would never think about the next step south, and there might be no future Weishui alliance.Of course, if you give yourself seven or eight years to manage, Lingzhou, even if it is not a solid wall, at least it is difficult for Turks to culvert.

Just as Chen Ying was thinking about it, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Chen Ying raised the curtain of the carriage, raised his head and said to Zhao Chunyang, "What's going on!"

In fact, Zhao Chunyang didn't need to answer, Chen Ying had already seen it, a large group of sturdy cavalry appeared next to the official road, and the leader was actually Chen Ying's acquaintance - Xue Wanche.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Ying and Xue Wanche were comrades-in-arms when they fought side by side in Jingyang.

Although Li Jiancheng didn't appear, seeing Xue Wanche appear, how could Chen Ying not know that Li Jiancheng was nearby?

However, Xue Wanche seemed to be deliberately showing off his riding skills, and rode his horse towards Chen Ying's carriage.Zhao Chunyang didn't know Xue Wanche, and thought that Xue Wanche had malicious intentions.With a big wave of his hand, the Dingyuan Army Yueqiqi lined up in the formation of Lancers to charge.

Xue Wanche looked at the cavalrymen holding hooked sickles and forming a wall of lancers, and felt his scalp tingling.A few hundred steps away from Chen Ying's carriage, Xue Wanche turned his horse's head urgently, followed by all the retinue cavalry.

"General..."

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's Donggong General Xue!"

Chen Ying hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, asked for a fine horse from the cavalry officer, got on the horse, and galloped towards the woods.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a large open space in the vast woods, and a huge curtain was drawn. Li Jiancheng, who was dressed in military uniform, saw Chen Ying's arrival, and his original cold face turned into warmth: "This palace has not been able to give General Chen the opportunity to practice. OK, I'm sorry..."

Li Jiancheng stretched out his fingers and saw dozens of low tables of different sizes inside the curtain. On the low tables were beef and mutton food and some drinks.

"Chen Ying, He De, He Neng!" Chen Ying suddenly discovered that Xue Wanche's retinue cavalry were carrying dry ration bags on their backs, and their arrow pots were also double arrow pots in combat readiness, fifty arrows, and armor-piercing arrows with sheep's heads (three-edged arrows), ten water bladders, and a sleeping bag for individual soldiers invented by Chen Ying.There are also quivers, water bottles, and marching rucksacks, which don't seem like they are going out to play.

Chen Ying tried to ask: "Where is the prince going?"

Li Jiancheng sighed leisurely and said: "Liu Wuzhou divided his troops to attack Fenzhou and Jinzhou, and Sanhu asked Father for help, even wrote a blood letter, Father... Hey, as an elder brother, I can't ignore it!"

It's not that Li Yuan didn't want to take care of Jinzhou, but that Zheng Qianfu, the Tongshou of Beihai in Sui Dynasty, and Fang Hui, the magistrate of Wendeng County, surrendered to Tang Dynasty.Zheng Qianfu and Fang Huizheng are nothing, the key is that Wang Bo is about to surrender to Tang.

Wang Bo was different from Li Mi at this time. Wang Bo controlled Donghai (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu), Qijun (now Jinan, Shandong), Dongping (now Yuncheng, Shandong), Rencheng (now Jining, Shandong), Pinglu (now Jining, Shandong) Wang Bo owned hundreds of thousands of horses in places such as today's Shandong Wenshang), Shouzhang (today's north of Liangshan in Shandong), Xuchang (today's northwest of Dongping County in Shandong) and other places.In order to maintain a deterrent to Wang Bo, Li Yuan specially stationed the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty near Chang'an.

In Li Yuan's mind, Jinyang has many soldiers and generals, has a lot of food, grass and armor, and has Dou Dan, Yu Wenxin, Liu Dewei and other assistants.The biggest problem in Jinyang is that Li Yuanji has a violent temper and is at odds with the generals. As long as a person who can control Li Yuanji goes to Jinyang, Jinyang's crisis will be solved without a fight.

Chen Ying sighed secretly when he heard this.Inevitably, history has changed. Originally, when Jinyang was in crisis, Li Yuan sent Pei Ji one after another. Unfortunately, Pei Ji also failed to solve Jinyang's crisis, and instead lost Jinyang.

Pei Ji's loss of Jinyang has little impact, because Pei Ji himself is Li Yuan's good friend, and the two are inseparable. In the vortex in Hedong, it would be difficult for Li Jiancheng to get out of his body.

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng sadly and said, "His Royal Highness, is it His Majesty's order to go to Hedong?"

Chen Yingsi thought about it, if it wasn't for Li Yuan's clear purpose, let Li Jiancheng take the opportunity to get out, and don't get involved in this troubled water.

Li Jiancheng heard Chen Ying's vague allusion, squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Ying and said, "Does General Chen think that my palace's going to Jinyang will be bad or good?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "That's not the case, the disciples just think it's worthless!"

If Chen Ying followed Li Jiancheng's words, I'm afraid Li Jiancheng would not be successful if he didn't go to Jinyang.

In fact, Li Jiancheng, like Li Shimin, was born as a soldier.At that time, Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, built the General's Mansion, granted Li Jiancheng the Commander-in-Chief of the left-led army, commanded the three armies of the left, and was granted the title of Duke of Longxi County.Li Yuan led the Chinese army himself, and Li Shimin was the governor of the right army.Li Jiancheng was ordered to lead Liu Wenjing, Wang Changxie and other tens of thousands of people to garrison Yongfeng warehouse, guard Tongguan, and defeated Qu Tutong.It was only after Li Jiancheng was named the prince that he sat in Chang'an and stopped going out to lead the army.If Chen Ying dared to question Li Jiancheng's ability to lead the army, it would be counterproductive.

"Not worth it?" Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying with lightning eyes, and said in a word: "In General Chen's view, Jinyang, as the place where Tang Longxing was born, isn't it worth my palace's visit?"

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng fearlessly and said, "I think it is unwise for His Royal Highness to go to Jinyang at this time!"

"Oh!" When Li Jiancheng heard this, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and his face was full of anger: "According to what General Chen said, what is the wise choice?"

Chen Ying sighed and said: "His Royal Highness, Wang Bo, Du Fuwei and others have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty successively. If His Royal Highness leaves Beijing at this time, Wang Bo, Du Fuwei, and Li Mi's subordinates will be taken by His Royal Highness Qin. He is long, it is not the blessing of the Tang Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng's face was solemn.Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Could it be that Jinyang just ignores it?"

"It's the lesser of two evils, and the more important of two benefits!" Chen Yingdao: "It's not about ignoring them, but about prioritizing them. Jinyang's danger is nothing more than discord between generals and commanders. The Crown Prince will go to Jinyang." King Qi can be stabilized, but Princess Pingyang will not be able to stabilize King Qi when she goes to Jinyang?"

Chapter 95 recommends Xu Shiji ([-]rd watch)

In fact, whoever goes to Jinyang is better than Li Jiancheng.Chen Ying knows that all nomads are of the same sex.Chu Luo Khan has just ascended the Khan position, he must fight a big victory as soon as possible to establish his prestige, and use this big victory to deter the internal forces of the Eastern Turkic Khanate, even if there is no Princess Yicheng to confuse him, he will still fight .

Lingzhou has its own position, and before Chen Ying is settled, Lingzhou will definitely not be the direction of breakthrough for the East Turkic Khanate.Hexi is Li Gui's territory, and Li Gui is a dog of East Turkic. This dog is still useful for the time being. Therefore, Eastern Turkic must give priority to abandoning the land of Hexi, and Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou are all lackeys who surrendered to Eastern Turkic. They must spare no effort to attack Jinyang first.

Hedong and Youzhou will be the key breakthrough targets of the Turks.In this time and space, what is more dangerous than the original historical time and space is that the forces of the Eastern Turks are more concentrated, and of course the impact will be greater.Coupled with the fact that Li Yuanji is a scammer, he caused complaints in Jinyang, the soldiers were at odds, and he had already lost three points before the battle. Even if Li Jiancheng went to Hedong, he would just take the blame.

Then again, as long as Li Jiancheng fails, the loss of prestige is not small, and it can be "proven" that Li Shimin is indeed stronger than Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng will be at a disadvantage in this struggle for succession.There are only so many positions in total. Once Li Shimin's power rises, the position of the commander of soldiers and horses in Lingzhou will also have the advantage of arranging Li Shimin's people. Helping Li Jiancheng is actually helping Chen Ying himself.

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Sanniang can control Sanhu (Li Yuanji's small characters), but..." Li Jiancheng frowned and muttered to himself: "Don't talk about this, let's drink!"

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng and knew that Li Jiancheng didn't listen to his words at all.

Chen Ying also sighed: "If His Royal Highness wants to go to Jinyang, it's not necessarily impossible, but if you take someone with you, you can make a great contribution!"

"Who?"

"The East Palace washes Wei Zheng!"

"Wei Zheng?" Li Jiancheng was stunned and said, "He is not the director of military affairs!"

Chen Ying nodded solemnly and said: "Although Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng are not good at military affairs, Wei Zheng can persuade another person who is good at military affairs, and this person, His Royal Highness, has heard of this person!"

Li Jiancheng said: "You mean!"

Chen Yingdao: "Xu Shiji, a Lihu man from Caozhou (Xu Maogong in the Romance)"

Li Jiancheng said: "You mean Xu Shiji who raided Liyangcang with five thousand mobs, recruited 20 soldiers in ten days, and was later worshiped by the Sui court officials as General Youwuhou,"
