Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 60 Bad Check

Chapter 60 Bad Check

"The common people have done it, and I'm giving it to one person!" Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng and said with a slight smile, "His Royal Highness thinks that this is how I explain the destiny, right?"

After all, Li Jiancheng is Li Yuan's eldest son. Even when Li Yuan didn't feel rebellious in his early years, Li Jiancheng was raised as the next patriarch of the Li family. Li Jiancheng understood what Chen Ying meant in an instant.Ten-thousand-foot tall buildings do not rise from the ground. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world. Li Jiancheng's destiny is what the hearts of the people want.

If Pei Ju also questioned Li Jiancheng's political sense, he was actually questioning Li Jiancheng's ability to make decisions.Can Li Jiancheng fail to hear Pei Ju's subconscious?The answer is yes, he just thinks that the help of the aristocratic family is much greater than that of ordinary people. When making a choice, he can't help but choose the group that is more beneficial to him.

Li Jiancheng has a very strong popular foundation in Hedong, and he is also a political ally of Shandong nobles.In terms of advantages, Li Jiancheng's 01:30 point is not stronger than Li Shimin's. However, Li Jiancheng obviously held a good hand, and in the end he played that badly, and Chen Ying was also unspeakably weird.

In this era, the aristocratic clans are equivalent to the capital chaebols of later generations. Of course, there are essential differences between the two. The capital plutocrats have endless needs for the market, and the aristocratic clans' demand for land is also endless.The capital plutocrats will not let go of any profitable investment opportunities, and the same is true for the aristocratic families. If there is no opportunity, they will try to create opportunities.

Li Jiancheng nodded, and said meaningfully: "Throw me a papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. The bandit repays it, and it will always be good!..."

Hearing this, Chen Ying confirmed his previous guess even more.With Datang's victory in the Battle of Hedong, it is obvious that Guanzhong will be firmly established.However, in Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away from Guanzhong, the land naturally rises, but this is the headquarters of the Guanlong noble group. It is not easy for them to infiltrate into Guanzhong, even with the support of Li Yuan or Li Jiancheng.

The Guanlong nobles will definitely not be reconciled to their failure, so they will resist the infiltration of the Shandong Group. This time there is less snow in Guanzhong, and the next year's drought has already shown signs of drought. The difference is only a matter of big or small.The Shandong Noble Group is like a shark that smells blood, and it catches the wind.

The purpose of impeaching Chen Ying is to stop Chen Ying from repairing ditches and expand the drought in Guanzhong next year.Taking advantage of the drought, they frantically annexed the land.At this time, Li Jiancheng wanted to sit on the sidelines and watch, but it was actually a very stupid behavior.

Even if the Guanlong aristocratic group has collectively declined, it does not mean that they have no capital to fight against the imperial court. Now is not a stable period of great unification. There is Wang Shichong in Central China, Dou Jiande in Hebei, Du Fuwei in Jianghuai, Lin Shihong and Baba in Yuzhang. There is also Xiao Xian in the mausoleum, and Shen Faxing in Piling.

If Li Yuan blatantly supports the Shandong noble group's infiltration of Guanzhong at this moment, it is clearly pulling the Shandong nobles to fight against the Guanlong noble group. one.The Guanlong noble group has some generals who are proficient in military affairs, and some have money and supplies. If they send out a few outstanding children at will, they can immediately make Wang Shichong or Du Fuwei, or Fu Gongyou, or Xiao Mian have the capital to aspire to the top of the world.Launched a fatal blow to Li Tang.

The peasant uprising leaders of the Sui Dynasty actually didn’t know anything, they didn’t know how to govern the country, they didn’t know how to run the country, and they didn’t know how to march and fight. As long as the Guanlong aristocratic group was willing, they could immediately make up for the shortcomings of these uprising leaders.

If Li Jiancheng let this matter go at this time, Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong would immediately gain the support of a large number of hermits or celebrities, and they would also advocate that Wang Shichong is kind, that Dou Jiande is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and that he is the God of destiny.

At that time, I am afraid that the unification of the Tang Dynasty will add too many variables. Don't think this is alarmist talk, but it is just the truth.

The essence of politics is the exchange of interests. Li Yuan was originally an endorsement of interests launched by the Shandong aristocratic group. If Li Yuan could not meet their interest needs, they would definitely abandon Li Yuan and support Wang Shichong or Dou Jiande instead.Chen Ying said with a smile: "Rome was not built in a day. If you want to occupy a place in Guanzhong, you need to do it step by step slowly, or you need to lay it out step by step steadily."

Speaking of this, Chen Ying sighed and said: "His Royal Highness, our Great Tang is rising, tell them not to set their sights on a corner of Guanzhong, the eastern capital of Luoyang, there is still a lot to do, no matter who is occupying Luoyang, they can be in the Great Tang." Make louder voices in Tang's court hall and occupy a more favorable position!"

The difficulty for Li Jian is that he cannot directly reject the interests of the Shandong aristocratic group, but supporting them will attract stronger opposition from the Guanlong aristocrats. In this case, Chen Ying gave the best solution. That is to draw cakes to satisfy one's hunger.

As long as the capital is moved to Luoyang, all problems will be solved, but now Luoyang is in the hands of Wang Shichong. Chen Ying asked Li Jiancheng to make a specious and ambiguous promise to the Shandong nobles in exchange for their operation and infiltration center to survive the most difficult period in Chang'an. This is tantamount to giving them a choice and letting them choose freely.

When Li Jiancheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then his eyes dimmed again: "But Luoyang is not so easy to seize, not to mention Wang Shichong's strength is not weak. Now Tang, Zheng, and Xia are standing side by side in the north. Although they are strong, they cannot fight against Zheng Xia alone.

Chen Ying nodded, although in this time and space Dou Jiande proposed the strategy of uniting Tang to attack Zheng, but in history it was clearly Dou Jiande who helped Wang Shichong and united Zheng against Tang.

At this time, Chen Ying was also unable to guess whether Dou Jiande was joining forces with Wang Shichong or Li Tang, or whether the alliance with Tang was just a smoke screen to paralyze Li Tang.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "There are not many things in the world that can be easily done. The greater the benefits involved, the more difficult it is to do. If you do it, at least there is hope of success. If you don't do it, you will get nothing in the end." !"

Li Jiancheng lowered his head and thought deeply.

Chen Ying suddenly said: "Your Highness, I want to transfer the left guard to repair the ditches!"

"Pfft..." Li Jiancheng almost choked on his own saliva when he heard this. He said inexplicably, "Transfer them here? Serve as servants? Coolies?"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "I don't dare to think that I am proficient in military training, at least I have a little experience in military training. If Your Highness transfers the left guard of the East Palace to Weichen, I can guarantee that within three months, the left guard will be the leader." Reborn and become an elite teacher who can stop ten with one."

Li Jiancheng didn't doubt Chen Ying's words. Of course, this was Chen Ying's modest statement. It is well known that Chen Ying's military training is fast, fierce and good. Now Chen Ying may have come up with a good idea. .

In fact, it is true that Chen Ying could not find many seedlings of the Modao Army in the Shuozhou Army, Dingyuan Army, and Lingwu Army, but the rate of the left guards was different. All the soldiers here were big men from Guanzhong. Most of them are strong men with a height of more than eight feet. If they are allowed to carry soil on the ditch, they will not only sharpen their physical fitness, but also use this method to find a group of people who can endure hardships, have good endurance, and have high physical fitness. Elite soldiers, if this elite army is equipped with Qingyishui Mingguang armor, and each has a Mo Dao, such an army can be trained to advance and retreat uniformly, and Chen Ying can really make the Mo Dao Army appear in the Tang Dynasty's battle sequence in advance.

Even with an elite Modao army, Li Jiancheng's fate in Xuanwu Gate may be rewritten.

Even if history can't be rewritten in the end, Chen Ying wants to save Li Jiancheng's flesh and blood, so that Li Tang's habit of internal strife can be fundamentally changed.

Li Jiancheng hardly thought about it, and immediately said: "Let the left and right guards be entrusted to you, a total of 1 troops in nine prefectures, all of them will be given to you."

Chapter 61 Knife King

Chapter 61 Knife King

In the Battle of Hedong, Liu Wuzhou first attacked and defeated Yuci, then attacked Pingyao and occupied Jiezhou.They defeated Taichang Shaoqing Li Zhongwen, Left Wuwei General Jiang Baoyi, and Right Xiaowei General Liu Hongji.The situation in the entire Hedong was rapidly deteriorating, but Chen Ying used the Dingyuan Army's four Zhechong Prefectures with less than 8000 people to successively conquer Shuozhou and Yanmen Pass, and the flying division raided Weize Pass. In the overall collapse of Hedong, Chen Ying and Chen Ying The Dingyuan Army under his command was very eye-catching.

Although Chen Ying actually had not only the four Zhechong mansions of the Dingyuan army, but also ten Zhechong mansions of the Lingwu left army and Lingwu right army, more than [-] Turkic cavalry, and the tenant Xiangyong under the command of the eight powerful men in Shuozhou, but under Li Jiancheng In his eyes, Turkic people are not human beings at all, they are just materials for consumption. As long as Datang is willing to surrender, there are not a few Turkic people who want to surrender to Datang.As for the Xiangyong of the eight great tyrants in Shuozhou, they are just folk husbands who make up the numbers.

Li Jiancheng reaped the benefits of having an elite army in hand. The four Zhechong mansions of the Dingyuan Army were forcibly reorganized by Li Yuan, and assigned to You Xiaowei and the remnant of You Xiaowei General Liu Hongji, who were reorganized into the new You Xiaowei Six. Luo Shixin himself was appointed as General You Xiaowei and became Liu Hongji's deputy.

Liu Tong, Bi Xin, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan, and Zhang Shigui became the long history of the Zuowuwei Army, joined the army, or were the captains of Zhechong.Even though Li Yuan did not appoint Chen Ying as General Zuo Wuwei, in fact Li Jiancheng believed that with Chen Ying's ability, Liu Tong, Bi Xin, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan, and Zhang Shigui were capable of taking over the new Zuo Wuwei General Pang Yu.

Li Jiancheng has reaped the benefits of having an elite army. As long as Chen Ying can train the crown prince's left and right guards to be as elite as Dingyuan's army, in the battle with Wang Shichong after the spring of next year, Li Jiancheng Li Shimin will never be the only favorite.

Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Chen Ying was both happy and worried. He didn't have to worry about the right guard leading him. Now the right guard is in charge of Yuan Baozang, but the right guard is leading the left deputy, Gao Yunquan, and Ji Tong, the right deputy. Yuejing, Du Shanguo, who joined the army in the recording room, and He Yuejing, the right deputy leader, are all Chen Ying's old troops. If they were not convinced by Chen Ying's background in the past, now Chen Ying's identity as Hou Mo Chen's family has been exposed, and it is not a problem to surrender them. Even Yuan Baozang couldn't show off in front of Chen Ying.

However, the Zuo Wei rate is Wei Ting's old department. In Wei Ting's operation for nearly three years, the Zuo Wei rate is almost impenetrable. Although Chen Ying can train the Zuo Wei rate, I am afraid that the Zuo Wei rate will not accept it. .Because, at this time, Chen Ying is not the nominal commander of the armed forces of the Eastern Palace, and there is no way to march against them and enforce military discipline.

Once the generals disagree, it is a taboo for military strategists.Of course, if Chen Ying had absolute power, then everything would not be a problem.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "Wei Zuowei's leader is Jingzhao Webster, and most of the soldiers appointed by the army are former officials of Jingzhao Wei's disciples. I was ordered to take over the Zuowei leader. It is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time.”

The purpose of Chen Ying's words is to ask Li Jiancheng for the sword. He needs to gain the power of life and death over the left and right guards of the Eastern Palace.

Li Jiancheng is also a fine person, and after a little thought, he understood Chen Ying's concerns. Li Jiancheng said with a sigh of relief: "What did I think it was, so it was just these trivial things..."

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Jiancheng's mouth, so Chen Ying is still too young to hide.

Chen Ying's heart has already been revealed, if it's just training, there's absolutely no need to do it.As Li Yuan's son, Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, did not dislike ambition at all. On the contrary, they liked subordinates who were ambitious and capable.

When Chen Ying was always by his side doing his duty, he felt inexplicable, but now, he already knew the purpose of Chen Ying, he wanted to restore the glory of his ancestors, and become the Great General of the Zhu Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, Prince Shaofu.

Li Jiancheng remembered that Li Yuan once told him that a carnivore is contemptible, and he is a great miao if he does not have a long-term plan.It is beyond reproach that Chen Ying is a meat eater, after all, in this era, the family and the country are the world.

Only a small family can take care of everyone. The bigger the family, the more scruples it will have.

Li Jiancheng is not afraid of Chen Ying's ambitions. Chen Ying is not only ambitious, but also capable. Competent and ambitious subordinates are his best help.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying and said with a smile: "If you are below the sixth rank, disobedience will be dealt with. If you are below the fourth rank and above the sixth rank, you will be dismissed on the spot. I wonder if Chen Qing is satisfied?"

Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "Actually, there is no need to cut them everywhere, I have my own way to make them abide by the law!"

What Chen Ying needs is actually a right.A name is enough, if even these arrogant soldiers led by the left guard can't surrender, Chen Ying doesn't have to mess around.

In Chen Ying's heart, he also had his own little plan.The reason why he did this was, of course, to hug Li Jiancheng's thick thigh.If Li Jiancheng was not before the Xuanwu Gate, he would be the well-deserved successor of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that he was the most stable ship in the Tang Dynasty before the Xuanwu Gate change.More importantly, Chen Ying was born in a noble family, and unlike Li Shimin's generals who were born in a poor family, there was an insurmountable gap.

If Li Jiancheng had a more elite force than Li Shimin's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry during the Xuanwumen Incident, perhaps he would not necessarily fail. As long as Li Shimin did not immediately kill Li Jiancheng at Xuanwumen, Li Shimin would be the biggest loser.

In the Tang Dynasty, at least before the Anshi Rebellion, the world was still dominated by aristocratic clans. If a small person wanted to join the mountains, he did not do so randomly.

Li Jiancheng's efficiency was very high. On the day Li Jiancheng returned, the prince's order was issued to Chen Ying. Chen Ying took the prince's guests, mastered the military equipment of the East Palace, and the left and right guards were all under his jurisdiction.

What surprised Chen Ying the most was that Yu Chigong was the deputy leader of Zuo Wei.
