Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Nan Nan rolled his eyes, nodded heavily and said, "Your servant understands!"

After a short time, Nan Nan entered with two cups of tea.He first held a cup with both hands and handed it to Chen Ying, and then held another cup to Li Renfang.

Li Renfang didn't care at all, and immediately lifted the tea cover.It was found that there was not a drop of water in the teacup, but a silver sentence weighing about five taels.

"Why are you not satisfied with the tea in Chen's house?" Chen Ying looked at Li Renfang with a half-smile and said, "Li Canjun is not satisfied with Chen's tea?"

"Satisfied, satisfied." Li Renfang pretended to drink tea, covered the cup with his sleeve, and quietly put the silver plate in his sleeve.

Chen Ying showed a playful smile, stared at Li Renfang with a smile on his face and said: "Li Canjun, when Chen first arrived in the Xuner Mansion, there are still many places he is not familiar with. I don't know what the prince is talking about this time? If His Royal Highness asks later, Chen Ying can't answer, it's not just Chen Ying who is ashamed, but also our Xun Erfu!"

Regardless of the fact that Chen Ying only gave Li Renfang five taels of silver, in fact this money is not low for Li Renfang.Prices in the Tang Dynasty were very low. During the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, a bucket of rice cost only five renminbi, while in the Qing Dynasty, the same weight of rice cost about 130 to 280 renminbi. In the 47th year of Kangxi, the Yellow River flooded. The price of food in the province has risen to more than 800 Wen a bucket.The government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty had no salary, but those who joined the army with the seventh rank like Li Renfang had a salary. His salary included 75 shi of salary and 350 acres of land.One year's legal income is about 450 shi, which is equivalent to 22 pennies and 5000 shi.The five taels of silver that Chen Ying sent was about equal to his quarterly income, which was about [-] yuan when converted into RMB.

There is a saying that people are short-handed and soft-mouthed when eating people.

Li Renfang pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know exactly what happened! However... the leaders of the Qiang tribe gathered thousands of people to rebel, went straight to Hanchuan, rushed to the state, and plundered and burned wherever they passed. Shizhou is in a hurry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites General Chen at this time, presumably to discuss counter-insurgency matters."

Note: In the first year of Wude, the rebellion of Pangqidi, the leader of the Qiang nationality, occurred in late November, and Pangqidi was wiped out by Mrs. Chongyi in mid-December.Due to the needs of the plot, it is slightly advanced. This book is not an official history, so you don't have to take it seriously.

Chapter 45 Ordered to counter the rebellion

Thank you very much for the reward of 1000 coins from Three Thousand Wolves, the reward of 500 coins from the Assassin of the Tang Dynasty, and the reward of 500 coins from Yuexia Huaigu.

……

"What is the strength of this side enterprise? Why did he rebel?" Chen Ying didn't have the slightest impression of this person in his head. He could name Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Luo Shixin, but the side enterprise This person is really too strange.

Li Renfang took Chen Ying's money and was in a very comfortable mood, so he introduced it to Chen Ying very patiently.

"This Pangqidi was originally the leader of the Jinshan Tribe (south of Shandan County, Gansu), one of the thirteen tribes of the Qiang nationality. People defected to Xue Ju, and Qiang Zhong Lisu was appointed by Xue Ju's puppet Qin court as Marquis of Gaochang, protecting the Qiang school captain. Pangqi led a conferment of a Baron of Jinshan, and Pangqi was not angry, and when the Tang Dynasty was attacking Xue Ju, he defected , Surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty named him Uncle Guiyi, who would have thought of being a wolf-hearted dog, and escaped from Chang'an City a month and a half ago. After escaping from Chang'an City, it was at the time when King Qin was defeated in Qianshuiyuan, and he was surrounded all the way Hundreds of remnants of defeated generals and Qiang bandits sneaked into Baibu County (now Qingchuan County) half a month ago, suddenly pulled up the banner to rebel, and annexed the Baishui Qiang tribe, with a total of 13 people in Buqu, calling themselves Great Liang Heavenly King, you are arrogant."

Chen Yingdao: "If you are not of my race, their hearts must be different. Such treacherous people will be punished."

The army was on fire, Chen Ying didn't dare to neglect, immediately put on his armor, and led Liang Zan to the East Palace in a carriage.

When Chen Ying arrived at the East Palace, he was told that His Highness the Crown Prince was inconvenient to meet guests and asked him to wait.There were still a few people waiting for the prince to greet him in the side hall, but Chen Ying didn't find that there were no other generals, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Yesterday, when Li Jiancheng slammed the door of the Chen residence, Chen Ying realized that something was wrong. Could this be a trap specially set up by Li Jiancheng to trap himself?

Xun Er's Mansion is full of 350 or six people, of which there are only a few dozen soldiers, most of whom are officers with wealth backgrounds. I am afraid that ten times more people may not be able to defeat the fierce Qiang people.

Chen Ying stood in the empty side hall, boredly waiting for the prince to greet him.Just when Chen Ying was drowsy, he suddenly found a pair of black boots on the ground. Looking up along the boots, it turned out to be Li Jiancheng's red eyes like rabbits.

"My servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Excuse me!" Li Jiancheng's tone was full of exhaustion.

Li Jiancheng sat heavily on the soft couch, and casually grabbed the cup of herbal tea that had been on the desk for an unknown amount of time.After drinking the cold herbal tea, Li Jiancheng rubbed his face with his hands and became a little more energetic again.

"Chen Ying!"

"Chen is here!"

"Gu really wants to kill you!"

"Uh..." Chen Ying was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that Li Jiancheng would say such a blunt sentence.

Li Jiancheng got up and walked to Chen Ying, drew out his sword with a clang, and pressed the sharp edge of the sword to Chen Ying's throat.

Chen Ying was terrified in his heart. When he saw Li Jiancheng, the weapon on his body had been undone by the Eastern Palace guards. At this time, he was unarmed.Of course, even if Chen Ying had the courage to overlord, he would not be able to fight out of the East Palace alone.

Chen Ying's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered a very famous proverb in later generations: "A dog that can bite does not bark, and a dog that can bark does not bite!"

In the same way, Li Jiancheng said so at this time, but he didn't mean to kill him.Thinking of this, Chen Ying felt relieved.He bowed his head and said: "The prince is the king, and the subordinate is the minister. If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die..."

"Hmph, fart!" Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Just now you clenched your hands tightly and leaned forward, obviously preparing to fight to the death. Are you blind? If it weren't for the fact that there was no murderous intent on Gu, the person who fell on the ground might be alone. Bar!"

Chen Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I dare not!"

"Don't dare to be the best!" Li Jiancheng put away the sword and put it back into the scabbard.Slowly walked to the table and threw the sword on the table. "It's not that I don't want to kill you, it's not that I don't dare to kill you. I'm afraid that Sanniang is sad. Our Li family owes her too much!"

When Li Jiancheng found out that Li Xiuning seemed to have an unusual relationship with Chen Ying, Li Jiancheng had murderous intentions towards Chen Ying out of consideration for the style of Li's family.But after thinking about it, I have one mother, four sons and one daughter, except for Li Xiuning, including himself, who is not a wife and concubine like a cloud, hugging left and right, enjoying the blessings of being equal to everyone.Why should I be harsh on Pingyang?

Chen Ying wanted to explain that he had nothing to do with Princess Pingyang, but he couldn't say what he said.

"With your courage, you can barely be called a hero!" Li Jiancheng said: "This time the chaos in Shizhou, a neighboring country, alone stood up to everyone's opinions and recommended you to put down the rebellion. Do you understand the meaning of loneliness?"

Chen Ying lowered his head and said, "I'm stupid..."

"My Tang Dynasty built the country with martial arts, and you can't be named a Marquis unless you have made military achievements!" Li Jiancheng said: "As long as you fight this battle well, Gu will definitely invite you to be a Marquis!"

"Thank you for your highness the crown prince's cultivation. I will be devastated and smashed to pieces, and I will never let down your highness' painstaking efforts!" Chen Ying knew that Li Jiancheng was generous, but he did not expect to be so generous.It seems that I should think of him too darkly.Thinking of how he treated a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, Chen Ying's face was not only hot.

Li Jiancheng didn't seem to notice Chen Ying's abnormality, but asked solemnly: "Do you have any plans for this counter-insurgency?"

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "I thought it was impossible to transfer troops from Chang'an. Firstly, Chang'an is now empty, so we must leave enough troops to deter the ministers from Xiaoxiao. Secondly, if we transfer troops from Chang'an, the fastest way to prepare soldiers, food and grass It will take several days. If you go all the way to Shizhou, it will take a month and a half at the fastest. If you leave a month and a half to the neighboring enterprises, not only will Liang, Shi, Han, and Yi prefectures be corrupted, but if it is not done well, the whole of Bashu will also suffer. The military disaster is devastating. For the present plan, the military is expensive and fast, and it is best to restrain the soldiers of the Liangzhou and Shizhou prefectures and organize counter-rebellion on the spot."

"This idea coincides with that of Wei Changshi!" Li Jiancheng said: "No later than tomorrow, the Ministry of War will appoint you as the marching chief to take charge of counter-rebellion matters! Go back and settle down at home first, and say goodbye to Pingyang!"

"Your order!" Chen Ying raised his head and said, "Even if I go to Liangzhou alone, I'm afraid I can't restrain those arrogant soldiers. Can you let me take Xun Er's mansion there?"

Seeing Li Jiancheng's hesitation, Chen Ying quickly explained: "Although there are too many staffs in the Second Xun's Mansion, most of the generals and schools are there. They have some contact with the ministers, which is better than outsiders!"

People respect me one foot, and I make people one foot.This is Chen Ying's principle of doing things. Now that the crown prince has offered him a great opportunity to make meritorious service, he has no reason not to help Li Jiancheng by the way.As long as he takes Dong Gongyou and leads Wei Xun's second mansion to Shizhou to suppress the rebellion, Li Jiancheng will make the most of his military exploits in the future.

Chapter 46 Going to brothels in a group

After a little thought, Li Jiancheng understood Chen Ying's intentions.Li Jiancheng asked solemnly: "You led Wei Xun's Second Mansion to only have more than [-] people, isn't it too small?"

Chen Ying actually had no idea about leading the army to suppress the rebellion this time. Not only did he not understand the temperament and habits of the neighboring enterprises, but he also had no clue as to how many rebels the neighboring enterprises had and how strong they were.However, Chen Ying also knew that this was an opportunity to improve his current living environment, and he must seize the opportunity.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry!" Chen Yingdao: "Soldiers are not many, but quality is the most valuable. What's more, the soldiers of the Second Palace of Wei Xun led by the right of the East Palace, and their families are all in Chang'an, so they are more reliable in terms of loyalty."

"That's fine." Li Jiancheng thought about it and Chen Ying felt that what Chen Ying said made sense. He pondered for a while and said, "Well, Gu will transfer Zhang Huaiwei, the captain of Zuo Shiwei, to you. You will bring four regiments with you. The general is going to Liangzhou!"

In fact, Chen Ying is not a person who is good at playing tricks.As for whether the rebellion can be easily quelled, he has no idea.At this moment, a flash of light flashed in Chen Ying's head.He thought of one person—Xu Jingzong.

As for Xu Jingzong, he was an expert in conspiracies and tricks all his life.However, no matter what his reputation is, it is undeniable that he is the biggest winner in life among the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace.Yitejin (a first-rank Sanguan) retired with honor and enjoyed great honor after his death.At this time Xu Jingzong is far from making a fortune, can he take advantage of it?

Chen Ying cautiously asked: "His Royal Highness, Chen Ying is young and frivolous, he will inevitably get carried away and delay state affairs, can you choose a good plan for your servant?"

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying and asked with a smile, "Do you already have someone in mind?"

Chen Ying couldn't help but blush, he seemed a little too immature for being clever in front of Li Jiancheng.

"My house was purchased from Xu Jingzong, the son of Xu Shanxin, the former Minister of Rites of the Sui Dynasty. During the conversation with Xu Jingzong, I found that Xu Jingzong is a rare talent with good conversation, elegant manners, and a lot of things in his belly. If we can get Xu Jingzong's help, going to Shizhou to put down the rebellion will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

Li Jiancheng said: "Xu Jingzong is lonely, but he has heard about it. He has now received the red card from the Eastern Palace to join the army for Lingzhou."
