Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

"I'm afraid Song Jingang won't give us this time to take it easy!" Wei Zheng and Xu Shiji said almost at the same time.

Li Jiancheng was very surprised.

Wei Zheng explained: "Liu Wuzhou was defeated, Song Jingang will never stick to Huizhou!"

Xu Shiji nodded and said, "Escape is Song Jingang's only way out.

Chapter 83 Beautiful Misunderstanding

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, where there are rivers and lakes, there are struggles, and where there are struggles, there is blood.

Song Jingang's ideal is very full, but the reality is too cruel.

Xu Shiji and Wei Zheng had seen through his intention to escape, so it became a joke that he ordered Zhang Tiehu to lead an army of [-] to feign an attack.

Conspiracy, when it is not discovered, is a great threat.But once you see it through, it's easy to deal with.For example, in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it seems that there is a conflict between Huang Gai and the main general Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai wants to lead his troops to surrender.In fact, Huang Gai wanted to get close to Cao Jun's navy and set fire to it.If Cao Cao had seen through this plan in advance, it would be impossible to find out about the burning of the company.

It was also a conspiracy, Xu Shiji and Wei Zheng had already seen through Song Jingang's intention to escape. When Zhang Tiehu feigned an attack, Xu Shiji followed his plan and sent elite soldiers to ambush at Foye Mountain in the east of Huizhou.

As a result, Song Jingang, who thought he had a plan, ran headlong into Xu Shiji's encirclement. Song Jingang's [-] army was wiped out by more than [-], and [-] surrendered. However, Song Jingang broke through Zhuyu Valley with more than [-] elite troops. Escape from Bamboo Valley.

However, Huizhou was captured, the throat of Jinnan, and the gate of Pingyang had already fallen into the hands of Tang Jun.Li Jiancheng also knows the truth that soldiers are expensive and fast. He ordered Yuan Baozang to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to Jiangcheng, but unexpectedly received Wang Xingben's surrender.Seeing that Liu Wuzhou was powerful, Wang Xingben surrendered to Liu Wuzhou without firing an arrow. Now that the Tang army is powerful, Wang Xingben is about to surrender again.

Li Jianben wanted to accept Wang Xingben's surrender, but Wei Zheng said: "Such a family slave with three surnames, a capricious villain, will bring endless disasters if he keeps it."

Li Jiancheng felt the same way, and immediately ordered to refuse to accept Wang Xingben's surrender.Wang Xingben had nowhere to go, but was killed by his subordinates, and his head was sent to Li Jiancheng's camp.

The difference from Song Jingang is that Li Xiuning presided over the Taiyuan campaign, but adopted a conspiracy, just like Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou. He wrote to tell you that I want to beat you.

The same is true for Li Xiuning, who surrounded Taiyuan North and Taiyuan East with Lingwu Right Army and Lingwu Left Army, respectively, and set up the Chinese Army Commander's tent in the west of Taiyuan City, encircling three and missing one, leaving only Taiyuan South City.

The Shuozhou Army, an army composed of ordinary people, has almost no combat effectiveness.But Li Xiuning took this army as a treasure, and refitted the Shuozhou army with the armor and weapons captured from the Tianxing army, and at the same time merged them into the soldiers of the Tianxing army, forming a new Bingzhou army.

Chen Ying didn't worry about the battle of Taiyuan, but he asked Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning for nearly 2000 men.That is, the Lingzhou generals appointed first, such as Ge Tong, Wei Meng, Guo Zhun, Yan Shihu, etc., all took back.Li Xiuning saw that most of the people Chen Ying selected were over 40 years old, and less than [-]% were young and middle-aged. He thought that Chen Ying was eliminating the old and weak to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Shuozhou Army, so he let them go with a big stroke of a pen.

Chen Ying issued Fuyan (ancient identity card) and Pingxin to these two thousand craftsmen, and asked them to move their families to Lingzhou.Chen Ying gave them very generous treatment, including children over three years old, with an average of [-] mu of land per capita. The craftsmen and households looked at the ink-stained letter, fearing that Chen Ying would repent, and hurriedly dragged their family to Lingzhou.

But these people don't have to work too hard, they can take a sheepskin raft to Lingzhou.

There was an exception among these craftsmen, that is, more than a dozen apprentices, including Ge Tong and Zhao Wushang, were left behind at Weize Pass.Because Chen Ying learned from Li Xiuning that Li Yuan had sent a consolation envoy to summon him to Beijing to accept the canonization.

This time he can be promoted to county magistrate, and now he is the only county magistrate in Datang who is not a hereditary weak crown. Li Xiuning does not know the specific title, so naturally no one will say.

Not to mention that Chen Ying was injured, even if he was not injured, he would only get sick from the bumps in the carriage of this era.So Chen Ying left Ge Tong to prepare to build a new type of carriage, equipped with rolling bearings, equipped with shock absorption settings, and four-wheel guided carriage.

According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Ying could come and go in a four-wheeled carriage, and with the pulling force of four horses, he could pull a four-wheeled heavy carriage.

"Hey, it still doesn't work."

Ge Tong was almost desperate. After countless experiments, the waste of steel had already exceeded a thousand catties. Now even the quartermaster in charge of supplies looked at Ge Tong like a wolf, wanting to eat Ge Tong.

More than 1000 catties of iron, hundreds of horizontal knives, and dozens of sets of armor were wasted by Ge Tong. It's no wonder he wasn't angry.

Ever since he became an official, Ge Tong liked to compare himself with others.The quartermaster was from the seventh grade, and when he found out that the other party did not have his own official university, Ge Tong straightened his waist and said loudly, "Don't talk nonsense, three hundred catties."

In fact, the size of an official position is not all determined by rank, but by actual power.A majestic minister, a senior official of the third rank, when impeached by a servant censor or censor, he can only take off the black gauze crown and kneel down to defend himself.A regular servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he is only a sixth rank, even if he is a deputy prime minister, who would dare not give him face?

However, neither Ge Tong nor the quartermaster is a printing officer, but they are responsible for a lot of practical affairs. The two sides are not a system, and neither can do anything to the other.Not to mention the seventh-rank military quartermaster, even the eighth-rank Zhanggu, Ge Tong has nothing to do if he wants not to lose face to Ge Tong, who is from the sixth rank.

What's more, this quartermaster can pick the bones in the egg and make things difficult for Ge Tong during the inspection process.But Ge Tong didn't know, and his attitude was tough.

"Three hundred catties!" The quartermaster's face twitched, "Why don't you grab it?"

"This is what the general wants, you can figure it out!" Ge Tong neither explained nor paid attention, and walked away with Zhao Wushang.

The quartermaster was naturally not afraid of Ge Tong, but he had to satisfy Chen Ying's request.Although he was full of complaints, according to Ge Tong's wishes, he sent three hundred catties of steel to Ge Tong's workshop.

In fact, although Chen Ying knew the properties and parameters of spring steel, such as the addition of manganese, silicon, chromium and other elements, Chen Ying really didn't know how to find these reasons, and Chen Ying didn't know how much to add.

Ge Tong can only let Ge Tong take it slowly.

Spring steel can not only make springs and shock absorbers for carriages. In fact, the steel crossbow made of spring steel is more powerful, lighter and more compact. It is used to strike the scorpion crossbow with one spring steel in one hand. It uses pulleys to quickly wind up the string. As long as the arrow If you don't stop, you can keep suppressing the crossbow. Once such a crossbow is built, it will be a world-shaking change.

In addition, once the iron wire is cold-rolled, the barbed wire is also a sharp weapon to prevent cavalry raids. Once it is put into use, it can quickly create a line of defense and enclose the cavalry in the barbed wire.

While Ge Tong, Zhao Wushang and others were making spring steel, Chen Ying leisurely taught Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang how to read and write. .Wu Yuanshuang is slightly inferior, and he can read a few hundred words.However, Chen Ying is teaching the Wu brothers: "At the beginning of human beings, human nature is good, similar in nature, and similar in habits. If you don't teach, your nature will change. The way to teach is to specialize. In the past, Mengmu chose a neighbor. The son does not learn from it. , Breaking the machine. Dou Yanshan has a righteous prescription. He taught the five sons and became famous."

Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang followed Chen Ying and recited silently: "Dou Yanshan, there is a righteous prescription. Teach the five sons, and they will all be famous!"

Chen Ying didn't feel anything just now, but when Wu Yuanqing and Wu Shuang recited it, Chen Ying felt something was wrong. This Dou Yanshan was talking about Dou Yujun in the late Jin Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Later, his wife gave birth to five sons in a row .He devoted all his energy to cultivating and educating his sons, not only paying attention to their bodies at all times, but also paying attention to their learning and moral cultivation.Under his training and education, the five sons have all become useful talents, and have been admitted to the imperial examination successively.

Fortunately, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang did not ask, otherwise this would be a big oolong.

However, as the saying goes, what to be afraid of, suddenly heard a voice outside the door: "My ancestor Jianchang Xiaogong has five sons, all of whom are famous all over the world. I don't know when my ancestor got the title of Dou Yanshan?"

Chen Ying looked out the door in amazement, and a benevolent old man twisted his beard and smiled.

The old man wore black moccasin boots, a black black gauze crown, and a purple costume.

From the old man's attire, Chen Ying deduced that he should be a third-rank official.Chen Ying saluted and said: "Forgive Chen Ying for being seriously injured. He can't perform the full salute. He doesn't know what to do!"

"Old man Dou Cong!"

Chen Ying laughed dumbfounded, it was really a beautiful misunderstanding.

Chapter 84 Courtesy for Nothing

In the early Tang Dynasty, the famous Dou who did not have five sons was called Yanshan, but there was a Dou Lue who had five sons.Dou Cong heard Chen Ying teach Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang to recite: "Dou Yanshan has a righteous prescription, and he teaches five children, all of which are famous." He naturally thought of his great-grandfather Dou Lue.

Dou slightly has five sons, namely Dou Xing, Dou Ba, Dou Yue, Dou Shan and Dou Chi.Each has a very big name.Dou Yue served as the prefect of Qinghe and Guangping counties in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and died young.Dou Shan, the governor of the Central Army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Duke of Nancheng moved westward from Emperor Xiaowu of Wei Dynasty, and served as a servant, Wei Weiqing, governor of the three states of Huaying in Fenbei, General Hushi, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and Yongfu County Duke.Dou Chi is a gift to Shaobao, General Zhu Guo, and Duke Jianchang.Dou Xing is Da Zong Bo (Note: "Zhou Li" says that the elder of the spring official is Da Zong Bo (tài zōng bó), who is in charge of the ritual system, and the noble is Qing. It is equivalent to the Minister of Rites in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Dou Ba is the governor of Yinzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty (now East Longyao, Hebei).

In fact, of Dou Lue's five sons, the lowest one became the prefect of the two counties (upper fourth grade), and the highest one became the grand tutor, which can be described as the pinnacle of a minister.The Dou family in this period had five sons from one family, three princes, one marquis and one uncle.In particular, Dou Yue, Dou Shan, and Dou Chi became the ancestors of Dou's three families.

Chen Ying never expected such a coincidence. Dou Lue has no way to teach his son?I am afraid that Dou Yanshan will not think that he is slightly stronger than Dou even if he is alive.

But here comes the question, Dou Lue has nothing to do with Dou Yanshan?Chen Ying made up Dou's family in this way. Once this lie is not made up, it is likely to cause trouble for the upper body.Of course, if this lie is fulfilled, the benefits will naturally not be less.After all, Dou Cong is also Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's uncle.

Chen Ying is quite quick-witted, the so-called unparalleled eloquence in this era is actually nothing more than reading widely, having a flexible mind, and secretly changing concepts. , so he became the Lord of the tribe."

Dou Cong nodded and said, "Not bad!"

"The Hedouling family lived near Yanshan Mountain?"

"Of course!"

"Then Wuchang Xiaogong called Dou Yanshan why not?" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Dou Yanshan has righteous prescriptions and taught five sons, all of them are famous."

Dou Cong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Of course."
