Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Li Yuan smiled wryly, "I'm worried about the Northwest!"

Pei Ji opened his mouth, and finally said: "The old minister thought that Concubine Chen would not act rashly!"

"Your minister dares to take Xiangshang's head as a guarantee!" Li Jiancheng immediately endorsed Chen Ying when he heard this.

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "I am worried that the Turkic army took the opportunity to go south. Dalang, let me ask you, is Liangzhou's defense still solid?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Father, don't worry, my son has strengthened the defense of Hexi since the end of the Battle of Hebei. Although there are not many people guarding Hexi, with Li Jing in charge, they can be safe. Father must still remember how Li Jing was. Those who travel to the southeast, his military strategy is very good, the emperor can rest assured."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "That's very good, but there are not only Turkic people in the northwest, but also Tubo people in the southwest. Chen Ying fought several victories in the Western Regions and wiped out Ashina Buzhen's troops. Now the Western Turks rule Ye After the successive defeats of Hu and Ashina Buzhen, will the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan join forces with Tubo and Western Turkic remnants, and will they continue to go south and attack Hebei?"

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "Father, my son thinks that the Western Turks should not unite with the Eastern Turks. The two sides have been at odds for decades, and there have been countless casualties. They are called the Turks. In fact, between the Eastern and Western Turks, except for the Khan. Ashina's family background, others are not related by blood, this kind of rift cannot be resolved in two or three sentences. As for Tubo, they are fighting each other internally, and it is difficult to tell the winner in a short time, not to mention there are A Chen Ying who fanned the flames, now the Tibetans will burn incense if they can protect themselves."

Li Yuan asked in disbelief: "How can you see that?"

Li Jiancheng said: "The most suitable time for the Turkic people to attack is the seven, eighty-nine and ninety-three months when the horses are fat in autumn, but now it is deep winter and the beginning of spring is the season for the mating and reproduction of livestock on the grassland, and it is also the time of the year for the Turkic people. Among them, it is the busiest season. Therefore, Jieli Khan must not have many troops this time. This is one of them.

Li Yuan nodded.

Li Jiancheng said: "Secondly, the winter is covered with ice and snow. With the logistical supply capabilities of Western Turks or Eastern Turks, they can travel hundreds of miles at most. Their logistical support can only last for half a month. If they want to unite, they can only send The small team of messengers, but the small team of messengers needs to go through the jurisdiction of the Western City Protectorate. Chen should not sit back and watch the East and West Turks unite. In the current season, the Turks will not send troops, even Xieli can't do it, so the Turks who lack logistical support Humans simply don't have the ability to fight in Hebei for a long time, as long as we don't send food and supplies in vain, the Turks will retreat."

Li Yuan's brows gradually relaxed.

Li Yuan suddenly picked up a memorial and handed it to Li Jiancheng: "Da Lang, look at this!"

Li Jiancheng was slightly surprised when he received Li Yuan's letter.

Because this letter was written by Li Xiuning. In the letter, Li Xiuning wrote that the northwest was bitterly cold and the climate was changeable. She was pregnant again and wanted to return to Guanzhong to wait for delivery. At the same time, Chen Ying decided to accompany Li Xiuning back to Chang'an and asked the imperial court to send a new protector of the Western Regions. , to take over as the Chief Protector of the Western Regions!

When Li Yuan saw Li Xiuning's letter just now, he naturally thought that Li Xiuning's letter was ordered by Chen Ying, and the purpose was to test the court's reaction.

As long as Li Yuan took advantage of the situation and agreed to return to Chang'an with Li Xiuning and Chen Ying, I am afraid that Chen Ying would not come again.

Holding the letter, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan and said, "Father, what do you mean..."

Li Jiancheng saw Li Yuan's hesitation and did not make a decision for Li Yuan.Of course, this is also the cleverness of Li Jiancheng. He knows what to do and what not to do.

Li Yuandao: "No matter how you say it, San Niang is my daughter, how can I not allow it?"

……

In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng who was eating vinegar celery and said, "Sir, this food is very cold and not good for the spleen and stomach. It is better to eat less!"

"Haha..." Wei Zheng said with a light smile on his face, "There is nothing good about Zheng Bie, but I love this one!"

Since the Qin Palace's last conspiracy to alienate, Wei Zheng and Yu Chigong played a double act, Yuchi Gong falsely assassinated Wei Zheng in front of Wei Zheng's gate, and led his troops to flee Chang'an.As a result, Zhang Gongjin, who thought he had a plan, came forward to recruit Yu Chigong, and Yu Chigong took advantage of the situation and agreed to enter the Qin Palace to serve the Qin King.

However, Chang He was also recommended by Li Jiancheng, and became General Yubayashi Zhonglang of the Xuanwu Gate Forbidden Army, stationed in Xuanwu Gate.

But Yu Chigong acted as a spy and was ordered to break into the Qin Palace.

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "The news just came that Sanniang formally requested to return to Chang'an. Jiancheng doesn't know how to deal with it, sir, please clarify."

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, His Majesty will never allow Chen Ying to return to Chang'an."

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng suspiciously.

Wei Zheng stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Du Fuwei Jianghuai is not in peace, at this time, His Majesty will never move the Western Regions lightly, but will stabilize Chen Ying, but Chen Ying is really in danger at this time!"

Li Jiancheng remembered what Li Yuan had sworn, so he told Li Jiancheng what Li Yuan had said.

Wei Zheng frowned and said: "His Royal Highness, do you think that if Chen Ying returns, under the instigation of ulterior motives, someone will impeach Chen Concubine, I am afraid that when that time comes, how will His Majesty respond?"

Li Jiancheng said: "Naturally, the law is enforced impartially, and Chen Ying should be treated fairly!"

Wei Zhengdao: "You are not joking, if Concubine Chen really has a different heart, who will take the blame?"

Wei Zheng went on to say, "Actually, Concubine Chen's departure from the Western Regions is even more intimidating!"

Li Jiancheng said in astonishment: "How is this possible?"

Wei Zheng explained: "His Royal Highness, think about it carefully. Chen Yingnian was a white man. He raised his arms and shouted. Thousands of people in Jingyang followed him. Now General Chen is famous inside and outside. There are not many people who admire him, let alone How many of the 20 troops of the Chang'an Twelve Guards were former General Chen?"

Chen Ying's military training ability is really too strong, even if it is a mob, after Chen Ying's training, they will be reborn in a very short period of time and become the elite of the elite.

It is precisely because of Chen Ying's ability that the generals under Chen Ying's command have been very successful in their official careers, especially the rate of the left and right guards in the East Palace and the rate of the left and right guards. Among the army.

However, these soldiers quickly stood out in the Twelve Guards and became grassroots officers at the level of team leader, brigade commander, or lieutenant. To put it bluntly, these officers have already accounted for more than one-third of the Twelve Guards. officer.

It would be fine if Chen Ying was not in Chang'an, these low-level officers of the Chen family had no backbone, but once Chen Ying returned to Chang'an, even if he had no official position, no power, no rank, as long as Chen Ying raised his arms, he would be like a follower.

What's more, Li Xiuning still has tens of thousands of old troops in Chang'an. Although most of these people are not soldiers, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not limit their weapons and equipment. They can take up arms at any time and become an army.

Chapter Two and Two

Chapter Two and Two

Although Li Yuan's order was not received, Chen Ying wanted to come.Li Yuan will definitely agree that in the spring of the seventh year of Wude, he can receive the imperial decree and return to Chang'an.

As Li Xiuning said, he, Chen Ying, would not be anyone's loyal minister. Even if Lord Yan wanted Chen Ying's life, he would have to pluck off a few beards of Lord Yan.

With Chen Ying's identity and status, even Li Yuan couldn't be punished without guilt. He needs to be charged with enough crimes, and he can only be executed after the three divisions interrogate him.As long as the head is not cut off with a knife, Chen Ying has enough room to operate.

Chang'an can be said to be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, but in order not to leave any regrets for Li Xiuning, Chen Ying decided to make a breakthrough.

However, before returning to Chang'an, Chen Ying decided to make complete preparations.

"Government grows out of the barrel of a gun!"

Chen Ying could easily lose the military power led by the Right Guard of the Eastern Palace, even the military power of the Dingyuan Army and Lingzhou, and the military power of the Four Guards of the Eastern Palace, but he was not prepared to lose the military power of the Xiaoqi, Shesheng, and Modao armies.

If Li Yuan thought that he could take back the military power of Modao, Xiaoqi, and Shesheng Armies with a single imperial decree, it would be a bit of a breakthrough.There will be some generals in the three armies who have a heart for the court, but most of the soldiers will not.Because Chen Ying gave too many benefits to the soldiers of the three armies, and these benefits cannot be recovered with a single edict.

What's more, throwing these three armies to Li Yuan, Li Yuan couldn't afford to support them at all.There is a school in each Zhechong mansion of the Anxi army. The children of this school, without exception, are all the children of the mansion soldiers, and all tuition fees are exempted. The school also provides free lunch and breakfast.

The Tang Dynasty is no better than the later generations. When the imperial examination system did not completely abolish the recommendation system, almost all the officials were from aristocratic families and powerful families. This odds are about the same as the 500 million jackpot.

If the children of Fubing want to stand out, the only way is to go to the battlefield with a weapon.However, the battlefield is extremely dangerous, even under Chen Ying's command, the number of casualties has been very low, but from the first year of Wude to the present, the number of casualties has exceeded [-], and the number of disabled is unknown.Although this probability is higher, it also requires enough courage and luck.

But reading is different. The literacy rate in this era is too low, even lower than that of college students in their 60s and [-]s, almost a one in ten thousand chance.As long as you can read, write and draw, you can always do well.For the generals of Anxi, the benefit of Zhechongfu Academy alone was enough to make them feel grateful to Chen Ying.

The key is that this Zhechongfu school is very expensive. The larger school costs more than 3000 guan a year, and the smaller one costs more than 1000 guan.The key is the 30 soldiers of the Anxi Army. The key is that there are sixty or seventy Zhechongfu schools in Anxi. This consumption is not small. In addition to the county schools and state schools, Chen Ying needs more than 30 telephone bills for a hundred years. Wan Guan.It is no exaggeration to say that Li Yuan would rather spend [-] yuan to raise an army of [-] than build so many schools.

In addition to the Zhechongfu School of the Anxi Army, another benefit for the soldiers of the Anxi Army is the Zhechongfu Medical Center.Under Chen Ying's creation, each Zhechong Mansion has a team of medical soldiers. During wartime, they naturally act with the troops and participate in field rescue, but they have to stay in the garrison in normal times to see a doctor and get medicine for the family members or children of the soldiers.

Zhechong Mansion Medical Center is not all free, although minor illnesses are free, but only [-]% of serious illnesses are reimbursed, if the soldiers have no money, it doesn't matter, but advance payment in advance, the rewards for future meritorious service on the battlefield will be used to offset medical expenses .Moreover, this fee does not include the cost of seeing a doctor, and seeing a doctor is always free.

The difficulty of seeing a doctor is actually a common problem in this era.As the so-called folk proverb goes, "A family is rich, and one illness is over". Only family members or soldiers with military status are eligible to enjoy the Zhechong Mansion Medical Center, and ordinary people have no chance.
