Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chen Ying did not want to get involved in the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.In fact, if you get involved in this kind of struggle, there is no way out. It is good to succeed, but once you fail, you will lose everything.The current history has been changed beyond recognition by Chen Ying, and Chen Ying is also not sure whether Li Shimin will establish Qian Kun in one fell swoop as in history, and successfully ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

Moreover, since Chen Ying is Li Jiancheng's own brother-in-law, and he is also Li Shimin's third brother-in-law, no matter who wins and who loses, in fact, Chen Ying's position is unshakable.Chen Ying is different from Changsun Wuji. If Li Shimin fails, Changsun Wuji will fall into the mortal world. If Li Shimin wins, he will go up.

It was obvious that Chen Ying was already invincible, so there was no need for Chen Ying to wade into this muddy water.

Of course, Chen Ying took Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan, and Wei Wenzhong to Liangzhou, mainly because he did not want them to get involved in the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.Especially Luo Shixin and Zhang Huaiwei, they are both straightforward and upright people. If the conflict between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng intensifies, they will be the most vulnerable people.Because they are sincere and will not be vigilant.

To deal with people like Luo Shixin and Zhang Huaiwei, it would be the best result to set up a trap to lure them in and leave Chang'an.

In addition to their talents, those outstanding figures who have shined brightly in the long river of history must have a bit of luck. Luo Shixin's luck is actually not very good, otherwise he would not have ended the internal struggle in the Tang Dynasty and completed the world. When unified, die in battle.

Although Li Yuan didn't know the twists and turns in Chen Ying's head, but after thinking about it, he felt that it didn't matter much.After all, every general hopes to bring his confidants with him when he fights. Discord between generals is the real taboo of military strategists.

Li Yuan said: "I'm sure!"

Chen Ying said again: "I would like to ask for an order, please allow your Majesty to grant you the right to be independent on the battlefield, including the military affairs of the nineteen states under the jurisdiction of the Liangzhou General Administration, and if there are rumors from the front that the humble minister is not good, please don't believe it. Including the news that Weichen has died in battle!"

When Chen Ying said this, he was actually giving Li Yuan a vaccination.Chen Ying believes that the Turks will also resort to political means once they suffer military setbacks.For example, Li Ling during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In fact, Li Ling was just surrendering at that time. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hadn't heard the rumors, Li Ling would have taken the opportunity to escape.

Li Yuan didn't think about it either, and agreed to all of them.

When it comes to national wars, it's not that simple.

Li Xiuning discussed with Li Yuan and Chen Ying all night in Furong.When it was dawn, Li Yuan dragged his exhausted body back to Tai Chi Palace.

However, Chen Ying also did not rest.He just washed his face hastily, and then received Sun Jingchu.

Seeing Chen Ying, Sun Jingchu immediately went to the door and knelt down to salute: "I don't know what orders the lord is looking for Jingchu!"

Chen Ying handed a red slip to Sun Jingchu, Sun Jingchu opened it, and saw that it read "Appoint Sun Jingchu as the Marshal of Longyou Dao Bing Madu and Cao Shenjun." The Longyou Dao was also covered underneath. The seals of Marshal Marshal of Marching Bing Madu, Shangshu Zuo Pushe of Longyou Dao Xingtai, General Zhenjun, Captain Consort of the Horse, Duke Chen of Liang Guo, the ink pads on them are not dry yet.

Sun Jingchu only had a little understanding of the official system of the Tang Dynasty. Chen Ying, the Marshal of the Longyou Dao Army and Horse Capital, was actually on the same level as the later Dadu Governor's Mansion, and Sun Jingchu, the Cao Shenjun, was actually an official in charge of armor in a local area, ranking among the governors. Below, but due to the rank of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, his Cao Shen military is one level higher than that of ordinary state Cao Shen military, and belongs to the fifth-rank official.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first.More than [-] troops marched for [-] li. In ancient times, the transportation of grain and grass would be a very difficult problem at this distance.Chen Ying knew that if the [-] army relied on land transportation, it might cause a lot of damage to the Tang Dynasty's treasury.

Of course, water transport is different.Once it goes up north along the Yellow River, it goes upstream to Shuozhou, Shengzhou, Fengzhou, and Lingzhou.Turning from Lingzhou to the west, it will only take more than a thousand miles to reach Liangzhou. Although it only reduces the distance by two-thirds, it can at least reduce the journey consumption by more than half.

Sun Jingchu was overjoyed to see Chen Ying appointed as the fifth-rank official.

Chen Ying pointed to this red book and said, "It's inconvenient to disclose the specific deployment to you. It is impossible to carry all the supplies from Chang'an, so now I hope you will dispatch water transport ships, first from the vicinity of Mingzhou, to transport the young and strong from Hebei , transported to Tongguan, where we will meet up with General Ben!"

Sun Jingchu patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, my lord, I will hand it over to the humble officer, and I promise to complete the task."

If more than 20 people traveled more than [-] miles on foot, it would take at least [-] days to reach Liangzhou according to the speed of the elites of this era.But if you take a boat, no matter how slow the tank boat is, you can reach Liangzhou in at most half a month and at most [-] days.

Chen Ying didn't consider the four rates of the East Palace, the reason was because most of the soldiers in Guanzhong were landlubbers, but Hebei Qingzhuang near Mingzhou, because it is located in a swampy land, the metropolis is water-based.Even if you are not water-based, traveling by boat will not cause seasickness.

People who are not seasick will definitely not feel it. Once seasick for a long time, it is likely to make people dehydrated and lose strength.

In order to deceive the world, Chen Ying asked Guo Luo to put on her own clothes and drove with Li Xiuning in the same car, wandering back and forth between Qinglinli and Chang'an from time to time, but because Princess Pingyang is the same as the prince, so within a hundred steps, there is no way In this way, Chen Ying still gives people the illusion that he is still in Chang'an.

Of course, the most important thing is that when Chen Ying sent troops, he didn't transfer much supplies and food from Chang'an at all.Almost all of these supplies are replenished in Lingzhou.

Chen Ying had already received the news that Li Daozhen had stockpiled weapons and equipment in Lingzhou capable of arming 10 horses, as well as food for all the more than [-] soldiers and civilians in Lingzhou for a year.

This saves Chen Ying's trouble, and Chen Ying can also visit his son by the way, which kills two birds with one stone.

On September [-]th of the third year of Wude, Chen Ying took Ashina Simo and Zhou Qing, dressed lightly, and took Chen Ying's boat quietly along the Jieyu River and into the Weishui River.

After three and a half hours of sailing, at the mouth of the Weihe River and the Yellow River outside Tongguan, we boarded boats with the troops of Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, and Zhang Huaiwei respectively. The more than [-] large tank ships that Sun Jingchu transferred will transport more than [-] war horses. More than [-] soldiers quietly went north.

The "Wan'an" sailed upstream along the Yellow River. Standing on the deck, Chen Ying breathed the damp and cold air on the river. Chen Ying felt an indescribable comfort in every pore on his body.

Su Dingfang stood behind Chen Ying, he couldn't figure out why Chen Ying was so happy, he just didn't know what it meant.

From Su Dingfang's point of view, Chen Ying led more than [-] cavalry to Liangzhou, which was simply sending him to death.

However, Chen Ying not only did not have the consciousness to die, but instead patted Su Dingfang on the shoulder and said: "Su Dingfang, this general is optimistic about you. After this battle, you will be famous all over the world!"

Su Dingfang didn't know where Chen Ying's confidence came from, so he could only smile slightly and deal with it.

Chapter 51 Clever but Misunderstood by Clever (Second Update)

Chapter 51 Clever but Misunderstood by Clever

Chen Ying's dispatch of troops, because the food, fodder and armor allotted were all purchased from other places, and the Chang'an treasury was not used, the purpose was actually to deceive people's eyes and ears.

From Li Shentong in Mingzhou, Sun Jingchu shipped the soldiers who had not yet been disbanded and directly transported them. At the same time, he loaded the grain and grass in Liyang.In this way, the treasury of Chang'an completed the transfer of materials without using a grain of grain or a stone of forage.

However, the surrendered soldiers from Hebei didn't even have armor, not even a weapon, and all of them were bare-handed. These supplies needed to be replenished after arriving in Lingzhou.

As for how the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households will settle accounts with Li Daozhen, this is something that Chen Ying is not concerned about. In Chen Ying's view, Li Yuan also has no shame in taking advantage of his niece.

Regardless of personnel or supplies, they all quietly set foot on the fleet going north.And after Chen Ying joined Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui, he arranged for Luo Shixin to be on the left bank and Zhang Shigui on the right bank to guard along the Yellow River.Whether you meet common people or peddlers in business, let them all be caught and imprisoned in Diuge County.

Any information actually has a certain timeliness.For example, now, what Chen Ying needs to buy is time. As long as he arrives in Lingzhou, he will not be afraid of the Turkic people at all. At that time, the most worried thing is the Turkic people.

In fact, in ancient times, secret reconnaissance intelligence relied on calculations in most cases.First of all, the consumption of food and fodder, the sixteen guards stationed near Chang'an, all have their own rules, and the daily expenditure will not decrease or increase.You only need to leave a few eyeliners in front of each warehouse, and you can definitely find signs of the Tang Dynasty's army mobilization.Of course, the mobilization of thousands of soldiers and horses is still invisible, but the mobilization of more than [-] troops, even if it is only for a month, is as many as tens of thousands of shi.According to this era, an ordinary cart can only transport a dozen stones, and at least hundreds of thousands of carts are needed. Such a transportation volume, there is no way to hide it from the eyes and ears of those who are interested.

If you want to ask whether the Turkic people have worked carefully in Chang'an, this is actually something that is obvious to the bald man.However, due to the tense relationship between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, the Turks in Chang'an City were closely monitored. However, there were still loopholes.Because of the open social atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty, especially after the Tang Dynasty occupied Liangzhou, the Silk Road was temporarily opened, and there were many merchants of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions in Chang'an City.

Although these people were not Turks, they spied on the military secrets of the Tang Dynasty for their own benefit.There is a unique organization in the Eastern Turkic Khanate, named "Hayame", which is actually a spy organization.The leader is named Yehu Khan Ashina Sunish, who is the same mother and brother of Qimin Khan and the great-uncle of Ashina Dubi.

Ashina Sunis is proficient in Chinese, if one does not consider his blond beard and blue eyes and deep eyes, it is impossible to imagine that he is a Turkic person based on his authentic Chinese.However, in the eyes of Tang Dynasty people, the difference between Turkic people and Lite people is only their hair, so Ashina Sunis dyed his hair and beard black, and ran a horse shop in Chang'an under the name of Lite businessman Huobashibi .

In fact, this information point has already been detected by the spy of the left prison gate.The exposure of this information point is mainly because when Chen Ying defeated Ashina Yiwuzhenmo last time, Shibi Khan Dojishi and Yehu Khan Mohe came to question Li Yuan, and Mohe suddenly changed his words , and quickly left Chang'an, the news came from Ashina Suni's lost horse shop.However, since there was no interrogation, even Li Yuan didn't know that the Turkic people still had a Yehu Khan in Chang'an City, not an ordinary spy.

When Li Yuan and Chen Ying carried out the plan of deceiving the world, they began to pass false news to Ashina Suni.This falsehood is half true and half false. Datang sent the East Palace Left and Right Guards and Left and Right Siyu to secretly transfer to Hedong to prevent the Turks from invading Taiyuan.The news that the left and right guards and the left and right siyu rates of the East Palace were transferred to the palace with a [-]-fold discount of [-]% and a total of more than [-] elite troops secretly went northward, which is naturally true.It is also true to declare that Li Shiji will be the marshal to lead the army to the north.The false news is that the actual commander of this army is not Li Shiji, but Chen Ying.

Ashina Sunis is a smart man, he will definitely not believe this news just because of the bribed military officer, he needs to judge.When the news that the Four Guards left Chang'an with an army of more than [-] was confirmed by him repeatedly, it was certain that it was true, and the grain and fodder allocated from the treasury also verified the news.

However, Ashina Suni was very concerned about whether Chen Ying was the commander-in-chief of this army.If it's just Li Shiji, the Turkic people have nothing to worry about, but if it's really Chen Ying, that's another matter.At this time, Chen Ying has become the psychological shadow of most Turkic people.

The Turkic people worship the shaman god, and every time they pray, they will silently recite the original Chen Yingmoqi swordsman in their hearts.To put it simply, pray once a year, don't beat me, don't beat me...

It's ridiculous to say that the reason for this situation is that Chen Ying beat the Turks too hard. The four major Yehu Khans of the Eastern Turks, the Twelve Set Khans, who have suffered under Chen Ying's hands, are enough. Not to mention that there are more than 2 Turkic people working as free laborers under Chen Ying's hands, and there are more than [-] heads, which are still piled up in Wild Boar Ridge outside Lingzhou City.

If it is said that the Tang Dynasty did not send Chen Ying to fight, Li Shiji and Zhang Shiji didn't matter at all, one would kill the other, and one pair would destroy the other.The Turks are so domineering, but even if Chen Ying leads an army of 30 to the north, and the Turks have an army of [-], I am afraid that half of them will be scared to pee.

This situation made Ashina Suni very helpless, but now East Turkic is also riding a tiger. If he fails to gain power this time, Ashina Dubi will become the biggest joke among all Turkic khans.

Now Ashina Suni was sitting in the yard, holding a knife in his hand, cutting the flesh of a whole roast lamb, and kneeling below him was a man with the appearance of a sallow-faced and emaciated commoner who was trembling.

Ashina Sunis asked while sucking the oil on her fingers: "Have you eaten?"

The common people trembled and didn't speak, but a vicious guard stepped forward and kicked, shouting loudly: "If you don't answer, are you courting death?"

"Eat...no...didn't eat..." The commoner was about to cry, and stammered: "Eat...still didn't eat!"
