Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Of course, the treatment of the pro-army Captain Yiwei in the Tang Dynasty also mentioned the Zhaowu Captain who was on the sixth rank.Chen Ying was already a guest of the Crown Prince of the East Palace at this time, and it was possible to set up a pro-army in wartime in terms of rank, but Li Shimin was a little confused about setting up a Beiwei army alone.

Chen Ying laughed silently: "It's different. The duty of the pro-military Yiwei is to protect the commander and the command organization. If he undertakes the task of reconnaissance on the battlefield, he cannot protect the commander. In this way, the two cannot be taken care of at the same time, so I plan to establish A Beiweizhe Chongfu, with 200 or [-] people under its jurisdiction, specializes in battlefield reconnaissance, fortress breakthrough, and anti-scout reconnaissance.”

Li Shimin nodded, but he didn't express his opinion directly.

Du Ruhui said, "I think it's possible. In this way, we can know who we are and who we are."

Li Shimin said: "If that's the case, then General Chen will set up the Beiwei Army for the time being to specialize in battlefield reconnaissance. If the effect is significant, then the whole army will promote it."

"Thank you, Your Highness King Qin!" Chen Ying was overjoyed, and immediately issued a formal written military order, ordering the four guards of the whole army to lead the 82 regiments with a [-]% discount to rush to the [-] regiments of the government to send the best soldiers to the camp of the Chinese Army, and let Chen Ying personally select them.

Li Shimin looked at the huge sand table measuring one foot and six feet square in Chen Yingzhong's tent, pointed to the vivid topographic map of Hangu Pass and asked, "General Chen is going to win the mission of attacking Hangu Pass?"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "If Zheng Guo defends Hangu Pass with all his strength, even if Hangu Pass is finally captured, the losses will be very heavy. I am just trying out a new combat concept and method - fighting in the mountains. "

Li Shimin smiled softly and said: "The battlefield is unpredictable, and no one can guarantee that every battle will be won. There are many key factors that affect the outcome. If you don't pay attention, you will make a big mistake. Chen Qing has full confidence in this king. !"

"His Royal Highness, why should you belittle yourself!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Anything can be done beforehand, and nothing can be done without warning. This is especially true when using troops. Only by knowing the enemy and yourself can you be invincible in all battles. Knowing the enemy is not only about knowing how many opponents have. People and horses, how much food and grass they have, where they are stationed, where they come from, where they are going, and more importantly, who is the general and what are their military habits. Being the leader of an army is as important as a person's brain. If he He is a stupid person, even if he has millions of soldiers, he is not to be feared. If he is a smart person, we cannot take it lightly. What kind of person is Wang Shichong? Your Highness must know better than this minister."

In fact, Wang Shichong and Li Yuan are both of the same type of people, and he is very unconfident about generals other than the Li royal family. He is also afraid of losing military power and eventually losing the throne.However, Li Yuan is luckier than Wang Shichong in that Li Yuan's son and nephew, even if they are clan sons, are all top talents.

Later, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, followed his cousin Li Shimin to fight everywhere when he was 17 years old. He was brave and good at fighting, but also quite strategic.Later, he led the army alone and defeated the Liangshidu and Turkic allied forces in Lingzhou. Gaozu Li Yuan greatly appreciated it.During the time of Zhenguan, Li Jing, Li Ji and others attacked the Eastern Turkic Khanate, captured the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan, and eliminated the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty; He was named King Jiangxia.

In addition to Li Daozong, there is also Li Daoxuan, the grandson of Li Hui, the fifth son of Li Hu,

He has a calm and honest personality, and likes to practice martial arts. He followed his cousin Li Shimin to war at the age of 15. 15 years old is the age of a star chaser. Li Daoxuan is also a star chaser. His idol is his cousin Li Shimin. Li Shimin has always been in every battle Influenced by his cousin, Li Daoxuan was deeply influenced by his cousin, and he was extremely brave in the war against Song Jingang and Wang Shichong. Fighting back from the enemy's back, repeated many times, the horse was shot like a hedgehog by the enemy's arrow feathers, but he still had the courage to fight the enemy bravely.However, Li Daoxuan was ambushed and killed by Liu Heita because he was too brave. He was only 19 years old when he died.

Li Hu's seventh son, Li Wei, had four sons, including Li Chen, Li Xiaogong, Li Zhen, and Li Gui.Most of these brothers are relatively virtuous and talented. For example, when Li Chen, the king of Xiangjun, was a magistrate, he was lenient in government and was loved by the people of all ethnic groups in the area under his jurisdiction; In a fit of anger, Khan detained him forcefully, but Li Gui refused to accept this, and Jieli had no choice but to let him go back. Later, when he was the governor of Jingzhou, he was very good at handling government affairs and appeasing ethnic minorities. Quite accomplished.The most powerful is Lee Hyo-gong.

As soon as Tang Gaozu entered the capital Chang'an, he ordered Li Xiaogong to appease Bashu (Bashu is a land of abundance, a very good logistics support base), that is, to persuade local bureaucrats here to come and surrender quickly, and achieved great success. After he was done, he wiped out the cannibal demon Zhu Can in one fell swoop (eating thousands of women and children as army rations).With the cooperation of Li Jing, Nanliang Xiaoxian was wiped out. It can be said that during the Li and early Tang Dynasties, three parts of the world were divided, and one part of it was done by Li Xiaogong alone.And the most amazing thing about Li Xiaogong is that he started from Chang'an and went all the way to the South China Sea.The territory that the whole person led to persuasion to surrender was larger than that of Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong combined.

In addition to these few nephews who fought wars and were able to care for the people, Li Yuan also had [-] nephews such as Li Shentong and Li Shenfu (with names and surnames, those who have no achievements and no historical records are not counted). On the other hand, Wang Shichong's nephews, Almost all of them are scammers, except for Wang Renze, who has been slandered the most by film and television dramas, and has some skills, the others are more cheating than the other.When Li Yuan appointed nephews, at most one of Li Yuanji and Li Xiaoji's nephews cheated him, but Wang Shichong's nephews, except for Wang Renze, were all cheats.

Li Shimin laughed loudly when he heard the words: "General Chen is really a wonderful person, he really hit the nail on the head."

In fact, Chen Ying was also secretly jealous of Li Hu's ability to give birth. He gave birth to eight sons, and there were only 17 cousins ​​of the same generation as Li Yuan. If you count Li Jiancheng's cousins, there are more than 20 cousins. He is a talent, and there are a few scammers, but most of the Li Tang clan are very powerful characters.

In contrast to the Hou Mo Chen family, the key point is that the entire family has almost no talents in Chen Ying's generation.Of course, if he didn't have an afterlife soul, he would have been played to death by Su Hu long ago.

Li Shimin looked at Chen Ying silently, and asked curiously: "In the opinion of General Chen, what kind of person is Wang Shichong?"

"Wang Shichong is a very cautious person," Chen Ying raised his head and looked into the distance. "So, in our conquest of Wang Shichong this time, we must despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically."

Li Shimin murmured to himself: "Strategically despise the enemy, but tactically value the enemy... Keming, write it down, don't miss a single word!"

Seeing Du Ruhui as Li Shimin's recorder, Chen Ying suddenly remembered "Li Weigong's Questions and Answers" which was listed as one of the "Seven Books of Martial Arts" in Song Dynasty. Could it be that this meeting will be recorded in history books in the future and become "Chen Jungong's Questions" right".

Thinking of this, the expression on Chen Ying's face suddenly became wonderful.

However, Chen Ying was not nervous.Although I don't have very high attainments in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" like Li Jing, but Chen Ying's views in the military field are not necessarily weaker than Li Jing.

When it was getting dark, Li Shimin and Chen Ying fought from the Central Plains to the Mobei Grassland. Li Shimin knew that Chen Ying had defeated the Turks with a weak teacher, and now he is also very concerned about this issue.

In fact, the Turkic issue was not an issue of the Li and Tang Dynasties. In the words of later generations, it is called an issue left over from history.Chen Ying knew that the nomads had plagued the north for more than [-] years. After the Huns perished, the Xianbei rose on the grasslands, followed by the Rouran people. After the Rouran people fell, the Khitan people followed, and then the Khitan people After the decline of the people, the Jurchens rose up. Like a shooting star, the Jurchens rose rapidly and declined equally quickly, just like a flash in the pan.Then the Mongols arose.

When this question was mentioned, Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "In the war between the farming people and the nomadic people, the farming people will always be at a disadvantage. No matter what the nomads grab on the land of the farming people, they will win, and the farming people will always be at a disadvantage. What the nation can reap is only the lives of the nomads, and there is basically no income."

Li Shimin said angrily: "Could it be that in the eyes of General Chen, he did not have enough interests, so he allowed Turkic wolves to wantonly slaughter our Chinese people? We must remember that people who are not of our race will have a different heart."

Chen Yingdao: "I didn't say not to fight, but how to fight. The Turks, like other nomads, come and go like the wind. The strategy they implement can actually be divided into sixteen-character policies. We harass, we fight when the enemy is tired, and we chase when the enemy retreats.Therefore, it is impossible to solve the Turkic issue purely from the military point of view. Only military, political, and economical three-pronged approach can be used to completely solve the Turkic issue. "

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked excitedly, "How do we use three prongs?"

Chapter 1 is so stupid

Chapter 1 is so stupid

Changsun Wuji was very disappointed at this time. He thought he was well educated and talented.However, he couldn't get in the way of Chen Ying's conversation with Li Shimin.Changsun Wuji quietly left the tent of the Chinese army and went outside. Suddenly, he noticed something unusual. The crown prince of the East Palace, led by the left and right guards, and the left and right siyu led the entire army of more than [-] soldiers, all of whom were wearing down jackets.

Since the winter of the first year of Wude, Chen Ying invented the down jacket, which was cooked and sterilized at high temperature, and then filled into clothing instead of fur. This light, flexible, and warm-keeping down jacket quickly became popular in Chang'an, and was even exported to the grasslands. .The price of a down jacket can be sold for two to three hundred taels in Chang'an. If it is in the hands of the Turkic nobles on the grasslands, the price has increased tenfold, and it can be sold for two to three hundred taels of gold, which is equivalent to three thousand guan.

The best down is of course ducks. However, due to the low food production in this era, although artificially raised ducks exist, they are rare. A down jacket includes a down jacket and a pair of trousers. At least one and a half catties of down are needed, and at least [-] ducks are needed. Down is strong enough.

The production of down jackets is limited by the number of ducks, and has not increased. At this time, there is no hormone feed, and they are all fed with grain or wheat bran. It takes almost a year for a duck to grow, and a duck needs to eat a year Nearly 150 to 180 catties of grain are lost, plus labor costs, a duck costs about [-] to [-] yuan.However, with the stimulation of the price market for down jackets, each duck in Chang'an now sells for between [-] and [-] yuan, and the cost of down jackets is around [-] to [-] guan.

Even if Chen Ying got down jackets at cost price, a down jacket would be as high as 100 to 300 guan.There are also duvets, probably more than 170 million.Thinking about Changsun Wuji makes me shudder.At the beginning of Li Yuan's army, he received the support of the Taiyuan Wang family, Taiyuan Wen family, Qinghe Cui family and Longyou Li family. The four major families donated nearly [-] million property and materials to Li Yuan. Since then, Li Yuan and Li Tang The dynasty did not need to rely on wars to support wars like other rebels, and plundered the money and food of the common people or wealthy households everywhere, so as to gain the name of a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

This information is very important. How could Chen Ying have such a large-scale financial resource?Obviously, this financial source must be Li Jiancheng. Although Chen Ying was born in the Hou Mochen family, the Hou Mochen family did not have such a large financial resources at all.

If Li Jiancheng really had the support of such a large amount of financial resources, and was willing to invest such a large amount of capital in order to win a chance to win the main attack, then Li Shimin would have no chance of winning in this struggle for the heir apparent.Whether it is seizing the heir or seizing the world, the most critical and core issue is one word "money".

The so-called price of loyalty is because there is not enough bargaining chips for betrayal. Li Jiancheng is willing to invest millions of guan in a robbing of military exploits, so once he wants to win over or buy Li Shimin's direct line, I am afraid that in the end Li Shimin will not have a few people left.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji was not calm at all.

Changsun Wuji returned to the big tent, but Chen Ying's face was also flushed. He, Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were each holding a large porcelain bowl, and chomped down on a kind of food called oil splashed noodles.Noodles were not called noodles at this time, they were still called soup cakes, but Chen Ying chose to call soup cakes noodles.

Li Shimin was not as stubborn as Chen Ying, but the name Noodles was more appropriate.Oil splash noodles are actually very simple, that is, put the boiled noodles into a bowl, spread the chopped green onion, pepper powder, salt and other ingredients on the surface with a thick layer of chili noodles, and pour hot vegetable oil on the surface For the seasoning, heat the oil to boil immediately, boil the pepper noodles and chili noodles until the bowl is full of red light, then add an appropriate amount of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar.It can also be eaten with cured meat, tomatoes and eggs.

However, at this time, Chen Ying did not have chili peppers, which made Chen Ying very regretful. Fortunately, it has been almost two years since he came to this world, and Chen Ying is also used to the days without chili peppers. Holding the bowl, Chen Ying secretly thought , When is it time to get a fleet to bring back peppers, corn, soybeans, etc. from the Americas?

Changsun Wuji stared dumbfounded at Li Shimin's imageless mouthful of soup cakes, while wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Wuji, you came just in time!" Li Shimin muttered with the noodles still in his mouth, "Hurry up while it's hot, this soup cake..."

Chen Ying corrected again: "Yes, oily noodles"!

"Yes, oil-splashed noodles!" Li Shimin said: "Although it is a simple food in the army, it is better than delicacies from mountains and seas."

As he said that, Li Shimin said to a guard beside him, "Quickly go and give me another bowl!"

The guard also swallowed hard. Although he said there was no chili, there was still no shortage of ginger, onion, garlic, and especially tomatoes. The only pity was that there were no vegetables.

Li Shimin finished three bowls of noodles in a row, and looked at Chen Ying spreading his hands: "Your Highness, there are no more!"

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Du Ruhui.Du Ruhui hurriedly took the noodles in the bowl to his mouth two or three times, and there was not even a little bit of soup left in the bowl.

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji's hesitation, and said with a leisurely smile: "The lonely king almost forgot that Wuji is a meat eater, and he doesn't like meat, come and get some meat for Wuji!"

At this moment, Changsun Wuji was in no mood to eat.

Seeing Changsun Wuji nodding his head, Li Shimin quickly grabbed the bowl of oil-splashed noodles specially reserved for Changsun Wuji, fearing that Changsun Wuji would regret it, so he quickly put it in his mouth.

Chen Ying saw that Du Ruhui had finished eating, and asked, "His Royal Highness, shall we continue?"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "That's right, let's go on, Keming, please record it!"

Du Ruhui's arms were numb and weak at this moment, and in just one and a half hours, Chen Ying had already spoken no less than [-] words, and his wrist was shaking as he recorded, but King Qin had an order, so he had to obey.
