Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

The next morning, the sun rose in the east.Although the wind was still strong, it was still possible to march. Chen Ying ordered the troops to move out, and the generals of the Anxi Army marched towards Shule City in the Western Region.

……

Chang'an, His Royal Highness Wude of the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan looked at the memorial of Li Jiancheng being ambushed in Jizebo, and said with a gloomy expression: "Come here, quickly declare Pei Ji to enter the palace to discuss matters.

The servant left in a hurry.

Just when Li Yuan was impatient, Pei Ji came quickly and saluted Li Yuan.

Li Yuan took the memorial of Li Jiancheng's attack and said, "Pei San, what do you think?"

"This..." Pei Ji murmured. Li Jiancheng would definitely think that it was Qin Wang Li Shimin who did it. After all, the struggle between Qin Wangfu and the East Palace became increasingly fierce. Once Li Jiancheng encountered an accident, Li Shimin would be the No. 1 choice.However, everything has two sides. If Li Jiancheng wrote, directed and acted in a play, and wanted to blame King Qin, it is not impossible.

Pei Ji thought for a while and said: "I think this is the work of the remnants of the Hebei rebels. Since His Royal Highness is safe, why don't you order to kill the captured bandits!"

Hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Yuan took it for granted.

If Li Jiancheng was really tested, he was probably caused by Li Shimin, but now that Li Jiancheng is safe and sound, there is a lot of knowledge in it.Li Yuan said: "What do you think about the Western Region...?"

Pei Ji murmured: "Your Majesty, are you worried about raising tigers?"

Li Yuan nodded.

Pei Ji smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. The two rebellions in Hebei are a lesson from the past. Now that the rebellion in Hebei has just subsided, the Turks are staring at them again. How can we get rid of General Chen and the Protector of the Western Regions?"

Li Yuan frowned and said: "Chen Ying is still a hero of the imperial court. If there is no reason, how can he be dismissed from the post of Protector of the Western Regions at will. In this way, I am afraid that the civil and military hearts will be chilled."

Pei Ji rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, I have a way..."

Li Yuan asked curiously, "What way?"

Pei Ji said: "Taiwei, Sikong, and Situ are called the three lords. Your Majesty He Shui is above the three lords. He added three masters. They are called Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao. They are Shanggong...

Li Yuan showed surprise: "Shanggong?"

"That's right!" Pei Ji said, "Although Chen Concubine is the younger generation of His Majesty, but the difference between monarch and minister is that public affairs come first and then private. General Tu can be promoted from Minister of the Ministry of War to Taiwei, and the post of Minister of the Ministry of War will be vacated, and Du Fuwei will be rewarded. His Royal Highness King Qin can be promoted to Situ, and Prince Chen can be promoted to Situ. Minister, you won't lose power!"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Pei San, I really have you, Feng Chen should be Sikong!"

Situ was in charge of civil affairs, the suburban priests were in charge of saving animals, and there was a big funeral in Anzi Palace.It's just a false job, and usually doesn't have any real power, but Sikong is different, Sikong is a real job, mastering water and soil affairs.All the matters of building cities, dredging ditches, and repairing tomb defenses should be discussed for their benefits and made of their merits.All the water and soil homework in the four directions will be rewarded and punished at the end of the year.For the affairs of the suburbs, the hand sweeps the musical instruments... Every state has great doubts and admonitions, and it is the same as the Taiwei.

This Sikong is actually another name for Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, but his rank is far higher than Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

In this way, Chen Ying can be stripped of his military power.

Sikong doesn't control the army, he only cares about the construction of various places.

This is the most typical rise and fall in officialdom!

PS: Finally got through, good night everyone!

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

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

Since the death of Ye Hu, the Khan of the Western Turks, news spread to the Western Regions.Civil strife broke out immediately in the Western Turkic Khanate, and Ashina Buzhen was proclaimed the Great Khan of the Eastern Turkic Khanate. , Tochara, Yanqi, Shiguo, Shiguo, Heguo, Muguo, Kangguo, etc. are all subject to its festival.

If we say that when he was a small Khan, Ashinabu really didn't have much ambition, but after he was proclaimed as a Great Khan, his ambition began to grow like grass after the rain.

In terms of blood, he was originally the fifth grandson of Shidianmi Khan, the successor of Western Turkic Khan, and the elder brother of Mohe Duyehu Ashina Mishe.But he is the successor of the golden blood.However, Ashina Buzhen was very unlucky. He encountered the rise of the Tang Dynasty and inevitably had irreconcilable conflicts with Chen Ying, the governor of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty.

Ashina Buzhen originally wanted to fight Chen Ying to the death, but he never thought that before Ashina Buzhen assembled the trilogy, he would get Tuqi Shihai Donghe Luo Shichu to lead the trilogy to surrender to Chen Ying.This made Ashina really angry. If the tiger doesn't show its power, it will treat me as a sick cat?In fact, although the eastern part of Tuqi Shihai is a large tribe with tens of thousands of people, in the eyes of Ashina Buzhen, even if Tuqi Shi is added together, it is completely a sandbag of Western Turks. Fist, kick when you are in a bad mood.

However, this sandbag actually changed the family, which is really unbearable for the uncle, and neither can the aunt.

Ashina Buzhen, who was scared away by Chen Ying's [-] Anxi army, completely vented his anger on Haidong. The ancient city of Pilang in the eastern suburbs of Kuqa).

Turks were originally blacksmiths in the Rouran Khanate, and even "Turks" means helmets, and Yiluolu City is another important iron and steel smelting base in Western Turks, second only to Altun Mountain. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Chao established the Western Regions, set up the Western Regions Protectorate here, garrisoned and opened canals, agriculture flourished, and the economy developed.Digging ditches and setting up beacon towers is where the Han soldiers settled and resisted the Xiongnu.Li Daoyuan recorded the grand occasion of smelting here in his "Shui Jing Zhu": "There are mountains two hundred miles north of Quci (that is, Kucha), with fire at night and smoke during the day. People take this mountain stone; smelting This mountain iron will be used by 36 countries."

Ashinabu is really not a fool, as soon as he made a move, he went straight to He Luoshi's vital point. Haidong supplied his iron and weapons. After losing Haidong, Ashinabu really can only rely on the wooden stick in his hand to fight. .In this city of Yiluolu, He Luoshi also left more than [-] soldiers to defend.

It's just a pity that Ashina Buzhen led an army of [-] to rush forward, and the more than [-] soldiers in the eastern part of the sea resisted for less than half an hour before being defeated by Ashina Buzhen. Luo Shi will definitely surrender if he can't beat him, he has no morals at all.But it's different now, he has a new master, that is Chen Ying.

He Luoshi has also suffered a lot during his journey. The prairie is always full of hostility. The vassal tribes who are pro-affiliated to the Western Turkic Ashinabu really want to use his head to claim credit for Ashinabuzhen. The neutral tribes see Hitting their people and livestock, he rushed to bite them when he saw the opportunity. In the process of crossing the Harasa Desert, he lost many people. When he stumbled to Shule, he had already survived. Out of shape.

However, seeing the tens of thousands of people outside Shule city sweating like rain to harvest the wheat, and seeing the four-wheeled carriages transporting the finished carts to the sun-drying field, He Luoshi made a judgment: "There is no direct military resistance." Chen Ying was one of the few correct choices he made in his life!

It is not that there is no agriculture in the Western Regions. Like the original Gaochang Kingdom, Jinman, including Yiwu, Qingjue, Loulan, Cheshi, Qiuci, Wensu, and Shule, there is agriculture, but the amount is not large, far from enough for the entire Western Regions. For example, the fields outside Shule City are only about [-] to [-] mu. However, the army under Chen Ying has already defeated the Western Turks, and they did not even give them a chance to set fire to them. Fields, taking the harvested crops as their own.

Beside He Luoshi, a tall man wearing a dirty mouse fur coat, a big man riding Shi Shi greedily looked at the long dragon formed by the wagon full of golden wheat, licked his lips, his eyes glowed green, and said : "A lot of food... If we send troops to take Shule down, the food will be enough for our entire tribe to feed for two years!"

The big man's words were approved by all the soldiers of the Tuqi Shi, and He Luoshi sternly shouted: "Kasur, don't always think about robbing, use your brains! How powerful are the Gaoche people in Shule Plain! , the Tang army can even defeat the powerful Gaoche people, and looting their territory is no different from courting death!"

Kasur said helplessly: "But what can we do if we don't rob us? We don't know how to grow food, and we have very few livestock. If the Tang people refuse to sell us food, we can only starve to death..."

He Luoshi was even more annoyed and wanted to scold him, but he couldn't scold him when he thought of the tragic situation of changing sons within the tribe, so he finally sighed heavily and said, "That was in the past, remember, forget about Tuqishi's identity, and never From now on, we are people from Tang Dynasty, people from Great Tang Dynasty, even if we die, we are still people from Tang Dynasty.”

In this era, the status of the Tang people is much more noble than the green card of the later generation Yingjiang.Whether it is the Central Plains or the Western Regions, at least Tang people do not have slaves, even if they are aristocratic clans, they are all employed.

Looking at the soldiers of the Tang Army who were busy repairing Shule City, He Luoshi was a little puzzled.The Tang army actually demolished the four city gates of Shule, and each gate opened a big opening more than fifty feet wide. On this gap, camps began to be set up.

He Luoshi suddenly realized that Chen Ying was not afraid of the Western Turkic attack at all, so he dared to do this.

Actually, He Luoshi only guessed half right.

As an important commercial city on the Silk Road, Shule City is too small.A city that can be filled with only 5 to 30 people definitely does not meet Chen Ying's requirements. In Chen Ying's mind, Shule City should be a prefecture city with a population of [-] to [-] people.

Therefore, Chen should keep the city wall of Shule City, which is the inner city and four main arterial roads, and continue to build outwards. Before winter comes, it can accommodate 20 soldiers of the Anxi Army, and has [-] to [-] stones of grain seized in Shule City. Chen Ying can rest assured to eat a lot

The beginning of spring next year.

While Chen Ying was looking at the materials seized in Shule City with great interest, He Luoshi ran up to Chen Ying, hugged Chen Ying's thigh and howled loudly, "Dear General Chen, something is wrong, Ashina Buzhen, that dog thief led his troops to kill Yiluolu City, his subordinates were incompetent, and lost Yiluolu City!"

"Yiluo Lucheng?" Chen Ying was taken aback.

After a while, Chen Ying remembered that the so-called Yiluolu City was a smelting city in the Kuqa oasis north of Qiuci. It was said to be a city, but it was not even a town in the Central Plains. The surrounding area was surrounded by earth walls less than a foot high, so the city wall was naturally enough to defend against the invasion of wild animals, but it was almost useless to serve as a defense city.As long as the Western Turkic cavalry rode on horseback, they could turn over directly without even using ladders.

Although he doesn't like the city of Yiluolu City, as for the steel resources of Yiluolu City, Chen Ying doesn't think too much, after all, the mining of steel is money.

Hearing that Ashina Buzhen actually mobilized troops to seize Yiluolu City, Chen Ying thought for a while, and immediately ordered: "Zhang Shigui, Luo Shixin!"

Before Chen Ying gave the order, Su Dingfang said: "General, why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? It's enough to deal with mere Ashina Buzhen!"

Zhang Shigui nodded in deep thought.

Luo Shi said: "Anyway, idle is idle, let me go!"

Su Dingfang smiled and said: "General Luo is the mainstay of our Anxi Army, so don't move lightly, let's go as the last general!"
