Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

"General Chen has an order that only the chief culprit will be punished, and the subordinates will be spared from death. Report the chief culprit, and he will be spared death after verification."

Hearing this, the prisoners immediately boiled.From the moment many prisoners put down their weapons, their hearts were hanging in the air, not knowing how Tang Jun would deal with them.Hearing this, the culprits are naturally not counted, but those culprits are downcast and terrified.

These captured soldiers began to scramble to report the culprit to the soldiers of the Tang army. Of course, it was inevitable that they bit and framed each other.However, in the end, Chen Ying only killed more than [-] culprits, and the [-] cannibal prisoners who were reported were put in shackles by soldiers of the Tang army and locked up alone.

"See His Royal Highness King Qin!"

"General Chen is free from courtesy!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "How does General Chen plan to deal with these prisoners?"

"Oh, only punish the chief villain, and avoid death by threatening the subordinates!" Chen Ying handed the pamphlet he had just sorted out to Li Shimin, and then explained: "I will execute all the more than [-] officers above the school lieutenant and above among the prisoners of the Zheng army. There are more than [-] prisoners who have eaten people. I plan to put these captives who have eaten people in shackles and send them to Taolin to dig gold mines. One of the five ordinary mines will be monitored until they dig gold. To die of old age!"

Li Shimin nodded. Chen Ying only killed more than [-] people. Li Shimin was very satisfied with the result. Change the battlefield gains.

The key is that there are more than [-] captives. Li Shimin can also select thousands of soldiers from these more than [-] captives. If he selects some young and strong men from the peasants, he can form thousands or even tens of thousands of troops.

Li Shimin also knew that the time was urgent, and without any pause, he immediately ordered Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Duan Zhixuan to take over the prisoners.

After Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Duan Zhixuan left, only Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Shan Xiongxin were left in the tent.Suddenly, Li Shimin stepped forward and grabbed Chen Ying's hand, walked to the door of the tent, looked at the rain curtain outside the tent: "General Chen, King Gu hopes that you can advance and retreat together with Gu."

Chen Ying was taken aback, Li Shimin was too straightforward, right?

Li Shimin would win him over. Chen Ying had already been mentally prepared, but Chen Ying did not expect him to win over Chen Ying so straightforwardly.Chen Ying didn't look into Li Shimin's eyes, but looked back at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji. Chen Ying secretly thought, who came up with this bad idea.

Looking at Changsun Wuji, Chen Ying shook his head.Although Changsun Wuji doesn't have great wisdom, he is not lacking in small cleverness. If such a choice is neither black nor white, Changsun Wuji should not be so determined.

In fact, Chen Ying has been forced into a dead end by Li Shimin at this time. Can Chen Ying agree to join Li Shimin and betray Li Jiancheng?Chen Ying is really not that kind of person. Chen Ying's style of dealing with people has always respected me a foot, and I make people respect him.Although Li Jiancheng had an unpleasant relationship with Chen Ying, Li Jiancheng's kindness to Chen Ying's knowledge and support made Chen Ying betray Li Jiancheng, but Chen Ying could not accept it emotionally. ,

In desperation, Chen Ying had no choice but to pretend to be confused: "I don't understand what His Royal Highness Qin Wang means!"

Li Shimin looked at Chen Ying with a little disappointment in his eyes, but this look of not disappointment disappeared in a flash.

Li Shimin let go of Chen Ying's hand, pointed in the direction of Luoyang City, and said loudly: "General Chen, now Luoyang is a piece of fat, and Wang Shichong is a dead fish. Do you want to return without success?"

Chen Ying said seriously: "I am not reconciled either!"

"Gu is not reconciled!" Li Shimin said: "So Gu rejected the emperor's proposal to retreat!"

Chen Ying looked at Li Shimin in amazement and said, "Dou Jiande's army can reach Luoyang City within ten days or half a month. Is His Royal Highness King Qin absolutely sure to capture Luoyang City within ten days or half a month?"

"It can't be done!" Li Shimin sighed and said, "Luoyang City has high walls and thick walls. Let alone ten days, even half a month, Gu is not absolutely sure to capture it."

"Yes, but Dou Jiande came too fast!" Chen Ying picked up a chopstick, broke off a piece, and used the chopsticks as sharp as a point to draw a schematic diagram of Luoyang's surroundings.

Chen Ying asked without raising his head: "How long will it take His Royal Highness King Qin to conquer Luoyang City?"

"With the current strength, it can take as long as three months, or as slow as half a year!" Li Shimin said: "A few days ago, the fire in Luoyang City burned many houses, including a granary. According to reliable information, the fire in Luoyang City Food, only 30 shi."

"30 shi? So little?" Chen Ying was very surprised. Did he accidentally burn down a granary in order to rescue Shan Xiongxin's family last time.In fact, as early as the 12th year of Daye, when Li Mi attacked Luoyang, there were more than 80 soldiers and horses in Dongdu at that time, and the population was close to 30.Although fleeing or dying in these years, Luoyang's population is still not less than 40 people. With the army, Luoyang City has a population of nearly [-].The food in Luoyang City is actually less than one stone per capita, which means that within three months, Luoyang will run out of food.

Li Shimin's intention is to surround Luoyang City and exhaust the food in Luoyang City. If there is no food and grass from outside, Luoyang can be destroyed without attack.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "If Luoyang wants to take Luoyang, I have a way!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "What way?"

Chen Ying pointed to the simple topographical map he had just drawn on the ground and said: "Luoyang City is surrounded by four fortresses, and there are many majestic passes. The eight gates!"

Li Shimin nodded.As for the map of Luoyang, Li Shimin actually didn't need to look at it at all. The topographic map around Luoyang had already been installed in his mind.Hangu Pass is in the west of Luoyang, and Dou Jiande cannot fly through it at all, while the four passes of Yique, Guangcheng, Dagu, and Shenyuan mainly guard against enemy threats from the south or southeast, so Dou Jiande, unless he is mentally ill, Only then will I turn to the south line for thousands of miles.

At this time, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji all surrounded him, while Chen Ying and the other five squatted on the ground without any image.Everyone looked at the map drawn by Chen Ying.

Li Shimin raised his head, looked at Chen Ying and said, "The revolving door?"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "To reach Luoyang, Dou Jiande has only one way. He passes through the Hulao from Xingyang, breaks through the revolving door pass, and breaks through the pass. I lead the left and right guards in the East Palace plus the left and right officials, twenty-five thousand Soldiers and horses can guard to ensure that the revolving door, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin, Hulao pass, and the four passes are not lost within half a year."

6000 troops sound like a lot, but they have to defend four levels separately and share them on average. There are no more than [-] troops in one level, which is really not a lot.

Li Shimin thought for a while, he now has [-] captives, and together with the remnants of civilian husbands, how can he reorganize an army of [-]. It is naturally impossible for these [-] troops to completely encircle Luoyang City, but now Wang Shichong dare not fight him at all. At this time, Li Shimin can also transfer the Hedong Army to the south, or ask for help from Luoyang.

Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "If you talk about slashing swords immediately and being majestic, there is only General Chen."

"But!" Chen Ying said suddenly at this moment.

"But what?" Li Shimin's heart tightened.

Chen Yingdao: "The horses of the cavalry with hooks and spears under my command are all lost. If His Royal Highness King Qin can send [-] horses to Hulao Pass, then I will dare to issue a military order!"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Yes, the lonely king will ask the father to order the horses from Chang'an Shanglin Racecourse, but it will take half a month at the fastest!"

"As long as it's within a month, it doesn't matter if the horse arrives at Hulao Pass!" Chen Ying said again: "I also ask His Royal Highness King Qin to give me the right to make decisions on the fly!"

"It's up to you!" Li Shimin said without hesitation.

Chen Ying said again: "His Royal Highness, please don't believe in rumors. Unless you see the body of the minister with your own eyes, or see Dou Jiande's army arrive at the city of Luoyang with your own eyes, don't believe the news of your surrender or defection!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's all up to you!"

Chen Ying no longer hesitated: "I will use Xiangshang's head and Hou Mo's family as security. If you can't keep the four gates, I would like to see you with your head up!"

Chapter 87 The child who can call has milk (added for the benevolent invincible [-])

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"All the children of the leaders of Bashu were recruited and appointed, and they were recommended and promoted to the outside world, while they were held as hostages inside..." In the Chang'an Taiji Palace, Li Yuan was full of joy.In front of him is Li Xiaogong's "Ping Xiao Mistake", of course, anyone who is familiar with Li Jing will see at a glance that there are too many traces of Li Jing in Li Xiaogong's Ping Xiao Ce.

Although Datang suffered a defeat in Luoyang, Li Yuan was not worried. There was danger of Hangu Pass, even if the six kingdoms of the Kanto were united with an army of one million, they could not overcome it.As long as Li Shimin leads the army back, Datang will put the main attack direction on Badong, destroy Xiao Xian first, and then unite with Du Fuwei to attack Lin Shihong. As long as Lin Shihong is destroyed, the whole Jiangnan can be settled.

At that time, Wang Shichong will be surrounded by the north, west and south of the Tang Dynasty, and he will definitely lose sight of the other.

Li Yuan did not hesitate to appoint Li Xiaogong as the governor of Xinzhou, and Li Jing joined the army as the governor of Xinzhou. Fighting, ready to attack Xiao Mian.

To unify the world and create the Li family of the Tang Dynasty to rule the country forever, what an outstanding military exploit!With this kind of military exploits, at least it can be compared to Han Guangwu in the history books. Li Yuan was just happy when Feng Deyi walked in, knelt down on one knee and called: "Your Majesty, please punish the old minister..."

Li Yuan took a hasty look at Feng Deyi, and found that his official boots were showing his toes, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair was disheveled, and his body exuded a strong rotten smell.

Li Yuan was startled when he saw this scene, and hurriedly said: "De Yi, you are..."

Feng Deyi said aggrievedly: "The minister was ordered by His Majesty to go to Luoyang to proclaim the secret decree, but His Royal Highness King Qin refused to accept the decree on the grounds that he would not accept the order of the king outside, saying...saying...not taking Luoyang, and vowing not to take Luoyang." Return to the army!"

Feng Deyi learned that Li Shimin's attitude was firm, so he didn't persuade him, but went back to Chang'an overnight in the rain.You must know that Luoyang is more than [-] miles away from Chang'an. If it is an hour and a half away from the high-speed rail in later generations, Feng Deyi ran non-stop for two nights and one day before arriving in Chang'an.

Li Yuan looked at Feng Deyi suspiciously and said, "How could this happen? King Qin is too bold, isn't he?"

Pei Ji frowned slightly and said: "Could it be that the previous information was inaccurate, and King Qin was only a small setback in Luoyang? King Qin still has the strength to fight again?"
