Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chen Ying looked at the mansion newspaper, feeling dizzy.

In history, Li Jiancheng did not obtain the power to oversee and regent the country until his death. However, in this time and space, Li Jiancheng is no longer the original Li Jiancheng.In the original historical time and space, after defeating Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, King Li Shimin of Qin was granted the title of Admiral Tiance, Marshal of the World Army and Horses, Minister Shuling, and General Commander of the Three Provinces. The executive deputy head of state has overwhelmed Li Jiancheng.

But now, Li Jiancheng has the upper hand in righteousness again.The key is that Li Jiancheng's power is not empty, because Li Jiancheng is in Hedong, not only regent Jinzhou, Fenzhou, Weizhou, Youzhou, and including Henan Kyushu, Shandong Wuzhou and other places, that is to say, the area under Li Jiancheng's nominal control has exceeded He conquered Guanzhong, Bashu and Hexi, and became the real leader of the enclave of the Tang Dynasty.

As the saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow, Chen Ying doesn't know if Li Jiancheng is happy or not, but Chen Ying knows that Li Jiancheng must be as disgusting as swallowing a fly at this time, because Li Jiancheng won the title of Supervisor of the Tang Dynasty, General Commander of Henan, Hedong, Shandong, In Liaodong, Liu Wuzhou's army was like a broken bamboo. In April, Liu Wuzhou attacked Yuci (now Yuci, Shanxi). In May, Liu Wuzhou captured Pingyao.In June, Jiezhou (now Jiexiu, Shanxi) was occupied.Jiang Baoyi, the general of Zuowei, led his troops to rescue Bingzhou, and was defeated by Liu Wuzhou's general Huang Ziying in Queshu Valley (in today's Jiexiu, Shanxi).

At this time, Li Jiancheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and clean up the mess for Li Yuanji.

However, the poor situation caught Li Jiancheng by surprise.

Li Yuanji, a scumbag, saw that Liu Wuzhou and the Turkic coalition forces were powerful, and deceived his Sima Liu Dewei, saying: "You take the old and weak people to defend the city, and I will take the strong and strong soldiers out of the city to fight." The troops went out of the city at night. At the right time, Li Yuanji took his wives and concubines and left the army and fled back to Chang'an, and Bingzhou soon fell.

Just when Li Yuan was full of anger and was about to order Li Jiancheng to take back the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty, Yehu Ashinamohe, the envoy of Luo Khan from the Turkic Department, arrived in Chang'an again and proposed to Li Yuan: "The Tang Dynasty only needs one head to complete the battle. Let the Turkic and Liu Wuzhou armies retreat!"

Li Yuan suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Who?"

Ashina Mohe said: "The murderer who killed the Turkic Khan, Chen Ying, the governor of Lingzhou!"

Hearing this, Li Yuan began to ponder.

Chapter 11 The Worst Torment (Second Watch)

In the study in the backyard of Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, Chen Ying gently closed the mansion newspaper.A fierce battle between heaven and man is going on in my heart.Although the battle of Jinzhou thousands of miles away has nothing to do with Chen Ying himself, it has a direct relationship with Li Jiancheng.At this time, if Li Jiancheng could not quickly regain Taiyuan, Bingzhou, it would be a big blow to Li Jiancheng's prestige.If Li Shimin is allowed to gain power, it is unknown how hard Li Shimin will hit Li Jiancheng. However, as himself in the limelight, he must bear the brunt.

Whether Chen Ying was out of consideration for repaying a favor or protecting himself, he couldn't remain indifferent due to emotion and reason.Chen Ying is thinking about how to maximize the benefits, and then he thinks about whether there is a way to get benefits from it.

I don't know what Tulifshe thought, but the Turkic army that has invaded Jinzhou now has more than one hundred thousand troops. Under his leadership, they ran rampant in Bingzhou, wantonly burning, killing and looting.

Even if Chen Ying didn't use his head to think but his knees, he knew that Turkic Mobei must be empty at this time. If the main force of the Turkic people moved south and attacked Mobei by surprise, the old, weak, sick and disabled Turks would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Lingzhou Army. The attack will definitely get unexpected results at that time.

At this time, Chen Ying had nearly [-] troops. However, in order to defend Lingzhou, the troops he could draw were only more than [-] light cavalry from the Lingwu Army and more than [-] cavalry from the Dingyuan Army.The other [-] infantry need to defend Lingzhou.It would be nonsense to say that Chen Ying wanted to use these eleven thousand cavalry to occupy the entire Mobei, but if he used these eleven thousand cavalry to rob the desert, he would surely be rewarded.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying felt his heart skip a beat.

"It's done!" Chen Ying slammed his fist on the table and shouted loudly: "Come on, let's get together!"

As the sound of war drums wafted over Lingzhou City, what surprised Chen Ying most was that the first one to arrive at this time was not the most well-trained Yuan Xun's second mansion, but the current Dingyuan army's third turn to rush to the mansion. It is Yu Guni of the Lingwu Army and other Lieutenants of Liu Zhe Chongfu and Deputy Lieutenant of Twelve Guoyi.

Seeing that Yu Guni led the soldiers of the Lingwu Army to the festival hall of Lingzhou General Manager's Mansion at the first time, Chen Ying stepped forward and patted Yu Guni on the shoulder and said: "It's as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as ravaging as fire, as immovable as a mountain." , it is not easy for the Lingwu Army to be as fast as the wind!"

Yu Guni was appreciated by Chen Ying, and felt like crying. This was the first time Chen Ying expressed his satisfaction to him.

Hearing that Chen Yingying praised Yu Guni generously, Xu Jingzong said disapprovingly: "No, no!"

Chen Ying asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Now that Tang Yan has made great progress, Yu Guni can hear that Xu Jingzong is dissatisfied with him. Yu Guni's eyes are red like a beast, and he really wants to tear Xu Jingzong to pieces.However, Xu Jingzong didn't seem to see that Yu Guni was on the verge of going berserk, nor did he see Yu Guni's cannibalism. Xu Jingzong said indifferently: "Most of the Lingwu army is Turkic!"｜

"Well, so what?" Chen Ying said puzzled, "This shows that the generals of the Lingwu Army probably want to make meritorious service."

Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "Maybe there is this reason, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that they are escaping a kind of torture, a torture that is ten times more painful than the enemy's desperate efforts on the battlefield..."

Luo Shixin happened to come in and said, "What torture is worse on the battlefield?"

"Xu Jingzong said: "Just learn Tang dialect. "

Chen Ying suddenly realized, and only then did he understand that the complicated and convoluted Tang dialects are indeed a kind of torture for Turkic people.

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Didn't the manager find out that Tang Yan is very difficult for them to learn? Among other things, Yugu Ni Luowu's expression is like cutting himself with a knife. neck."

Luo Shixin was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, maybe it was because of his childhood contact, maybe he himself didn't think that speaking was difficult to learn, but literacy was very difficult for Luo Shixin.Even though he has worked very hard, Luo Shixin practices big characters for an hour every day, but writing his own name, Luo Shixin, is still horrible.

A playful smile appeared on Chen Ying's face.

Zhang Huaiwei looked at Chen Ying with a strange smile, and asked in confusion, "Boss, what's so happy about it?"

"I thought of a scene, haha, haha..." Chen Ying was already out of breath from laughing.

Xu Jingzong also felt inexplicable and couldn't help asking: "What scene?"

"I want everyone on this land to learn Tang Dialect by biting the cork!" Chen Ying laughed and said, "Dada Da Da, Tang Tang lying hot... Haha. Haha, although learning is very painful, painful I want to saw my own neck, but I still have to imitate the scene with my head hanging from the beam, it must be very spectacular! Thinking of this, I feel very happy, Xu Junjun, record orders, everyone in Lingzhou must learn to speak Tang Yan!"

Xu Jingzong said: "I'm afraid those people won't learn it!"

Chen Yingdao: "They will learn. Don't speak Tang dialect. On the ground of Lingzhou, if they say a word in Hu Yin, they will be fined a penny. As long as they have money, they can continue to speak Hu Yin!"

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded.

"That's fine too!"

"Of course!" Chen Ying said lightly: "Fining money is not the purpose. It is undeniable that fines are an effective solution!"

Seeing that all the generals arrived one after another, their efficiency was significantly improved compared to before.Learning Tang dialect is a torture worse than going to the battlefield for the Turkic-dominated Lingwu soldiers, but the so-called literacy for these soldiers who are used to holding a knife handle, holding a pen will require their old age. Life.

Chen Ying understood that it was precisely because of the learning mission that no one wanted to get out of this quagmire, whether it was a soldier or a general. When Chen Ying proposed the idea of ​​looting Mobei while the Turkic people were going south, the generals had almost no idea. Hesitation, all express unconditional obedience.

Although the generals had no objections, Xu Jingzong raised objections: "If the army goes from Lingzhou to Mobei, if it crosses Hebei from Suoqiaodu (Hetaogu Ferry of the Yellow River), the whole army will march nearly two thousand miles, how can we ensure the supply of the army? "

Even all the cavalry actually need supplies.First of all, war horses need forage to supply nutrition, otherwise the war horse will lose weight seriously, and the horse will be run to waste.Just letting the horse eat grass is definitely not enough.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "We can support war with war, and feed on the enemy!"

Zhang Shigui said: "If this is the case, then the movements of the army will be detected by the Turkic people, and the suddenness will be lost. If the Turkic people will use their tricks to lure us deep, and then surrounded by large soldiers, cutting off our army's way back, our army will be attacked by the enemy!"

Chen Ying was also thinking about this issue. He found that military operations should not be too naive. Although the plan is good, it is not executable.

Chen Yingdao: "Then how can we relieve the pressure on Jinzhou?"

Liu Tong hesitated for a moment and said: "The last general... The last general suggested that the general manager revise the original strategy, first pull out the nail in Huaiyuan, and then follow the Yellow River all the way north to recover Fengzhou. We can use the Yellow River water transportation to organize urgently. Build a batch of square boats (that is, a flat-bottomed boat) to transport supplies along the Yellow River. We can go all the way north, approaching the southern foot of Fengzhou to show off our military power, and then continue to turn eastward in the Yellow River valley, and go straight to the side of Shengzhou. If the situation is against us If the situation is not good for us, then we will retreat to Fengzhou. As long as the delay is not too long, our army will always be safe. As long as our army can reach the south of Fengzhou, even if It’s impossible for the Turkic people to remain indifferent at this moment just by making a show…”

Chapter 12 Fantastic Invention ([-]rd watch)

"We have been walking along the banks of the Yellow River. There are people living near the Yellow River. Now the elite Turkic soldiers have been dispatched to attack Bingzhou. The rest of the tribe are either slaves or old and weak women and children. Even if there are soldiers, they will not be able to fight. Although our army has It is not dominant, but it is assembled in one place, and it is slightly weak against the entire Turkic enemy, but facing the personnel left behind by the Turkic army alone, our army has an overwhelming advantage, and winning in a fight is certain."

Liu Tong looked at Chen Ying and did not dislike him for talking too much, especially when Chen Ying gave him an encouraging look. Liu Tong became more and more fluent in his speech: "If the situation is favorable, we will take down Liang Shidu in one fell swoop, which is equivalent to beheading the Turks. An arm of a person. According to our current estimates, there will be no more than 3000 defenders in Suizhou City. Suizhou City is low and poorly defended. Compared with Lingzhou City, it is really a sky and an underground. Yes, if the Turks abandon Bingzhou and ignore it, concentrate their forces, and attack Lingzhou with all their strength, we will definitely be unable to support it at that time, but it doesn't matter, our military strength is stronger, and the imperial court will not sit idly by. As for suffering too much!"

Zhang Huaiwei said: "Why can't we attack Suizhou first?"

Chen Ying said with a faint smile: "Although the Liang division has no more than tens of thousands of troops, and its equipment is not sophisticated, but if we resist the city and defend to the death, even if our army takes Suizhou, the loss will not be light, so we have to walk more. Liang Shidu's soldiers and horses were lured out from Suizhou City, if we talk about field battles, the Dingyuan Army has no one to be afraid of!"

When Chen Ying said this, he naturally had the confidence.The Lancers of the Dingyuan Army have already proved to the world that they are an absolutely well-deserved iron army by using actual combat.

Xu Jingzong said again: "But now to build the square boat, let alone whether it will be possible in time, the key is that we in Lingzhou don't have so much shade-dried wood!"

Xu Jingzong was born in the south of the Yangtze River, so he is no stranger to shipbuilding.The wood that has just been cut cannot be used to build a ship at all. If the ship is made of wet wood, it will easily be soaked as long as the ship is launched; It is not something that can be done in three or two months.

Usually, when building a ship, the trees are cut down first, put into a well-ventilated warehouse, and slowly dry in the shade.It takes at least three to two years from the time when the wood is felled to completely dry in the shade.
