Of course, this item of expenditure also amounts to tens of thousands of strings per year, but it depends on the annual situation.

The generals of the Anxi Army also have the benefits of assembly baths. With military registration or military tickets, they can go to the baths for free.Of course, this treatment is just a bonus, some are barely higher than none.

Of course, more importantly, the salaries of the Anxi Army officers and soldiers are high.That is to say, the [-] Anxi Army soldiers, without planning the consumption of armor, weapons, arrows, food, forage, sauce, meat, etc., only benefit plus military pay, amounted to as many as one million guan.It can be said that the treatment of each soldier of the Anxi Army has almost caught up with the eighth-rank military officer of the imperial court.

It is precisely because of the good welfare benefits of the Anxi Army officers and soldiers, free new clothes, free bathhouses, medicine halls, schools, and chicken, duck, and polished rice white noodles during the Chinese New Year, so the people in the Western Regions are all proud to be soldiers of the Anxi Army , no matter how serious the reduction in the battlefield is, Chen Ying can always easily recruit enough soldiers.

It's cruel to say it, but it's the truth.Chen used the expenditure of more than 100 million guan to arm the new army of Anxi Army.Although the generals of the Anxi army accounted for less than one-fifth of the total army of the Tang Dynasty, they spent more than the most elite twelve guards in the Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty.

Unless Li Yuan was willing to spend one-fifth of the national treasury to fill this hole, it would be impossible for Li Yuan to bribe all the soldiers of the Anxi Army.Without Chen Ying's support, it is strange that the generals of the Anxi Army did not give up their picks.

Against this background, Chen Ying still summoned his confidants, such as Ma Zhou, Ma Mengming, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan, Su Dingfang and other generals to discuss military matters.

After seeing all the generals gathered together, Chen Ying's sharp gaze slowly scanned the generals.

All the generals quickly held their breath and listened attentively.

Chen Ying didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: After the beginning of spring, the roads will be smooth, and the Metropolitan Guard will return to Chang'an! "

Luo Shixin hurriedly asked, "Why?"

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "Madam is about to give birth, and the weather in the Western Regions is harsh, not to mention that Your Majesty already misses the emperor's grandson!"

Being able to become the chief general of an army is not given for nothing.When Chen Ying said this, they already understood that it was not that Chen Ying wanted to go back, but that Li Yuan wanted Chen Ying to go back.It is true to think that the emperor's grandson is fake, but it is true to hold Chen Qian as a hostage.

Luo Shixin said indignantly: "Western Turks are still alive, and Tubo's strength is still there. Can we not go back?"

Chen Ying gave the generals a reassuring look, and then said: "The jurisdiction of the Western Regions is too vast. From Yiwu in the east to Shule in the west, it covers more than [-] miles. If the weather is bad, I'm afraid I can’t go back and forth for two months. The Grand Protector has decided to divide the Western Regions into three towns, Tingzhou, Shule, and Qiuci.”

Having said that, Chen Ying drew the regional maps of Tingzhou, Shule, and Qiuci towns on the map, and pointed to Tingzhou Town of the map state as the supply base of the Anxi Army. The deputy guardian envoy of Pin, the commander of the Modao Army, and Anxi Jiuzhe rushed to the mansion. A total of [-] soldiers and horses were stationed in Tingzhou City. "

Zhang Huaiwei was silent for a moment, then bowed and agreed.

Chen Ying pointed to Kucha and said, "Duan Zhigan, you are the guardian envoy of Cong Sanpin of Kucha town, and Su Dingfang is the deputy guardian envoy. The main defense areas of Kucha are Tianshan South Road and Tiannan North Road in Kucha. There are many tribes here and the people's conditions are complicated. , to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside!"

Duan Zhigan was overjoyed when he heard the words, clasped his hands together and said, "Don't worry, the chief protector, you are here in the city!"

Chen Ying's gaze fell on Zhang Shigui, pointed to Shule and said, "Zhang Shigui, are you worried that Shule Town will guard the Sanpin envoy to guard the west gate of the Tang Dynasty for the capital, from Geluoling, Tuoyunguan, There is also Xihai, after the defeat of the Western Turks since Ashina Buzhen, they will definitely not be reconciled to failure, and they will definitely try to make a comeback. No matter how many people from the Western Turks will come to attack, you will give the Imperial Guard a firm blow. Over Congling Ridge!"

Zhang Shigui said: "The last general takes orders!"

At this moment, Zhang Shigui hesitated and said: "I don't know if you will be the deputy guard of Shule Town!"

Without waiting for Chen Ying to speak, Luo Shixin said: "This deputy guardian envoy can be the one who wants to, anyway, I will return to Chang'an with the chief guard!"

Datang regards the left as the most respected, and the habitual Chen Ying always puts Luo Shixin above General Zuo Xiaoqi, and he is Zhang Shigui's immediate boss.But Chen Ying knew very well that Zhang Huaiwei could barely resist one side, but Luo Shixin was just a fighter, and he couldn't become a guardian envoy who could stand alone. On the contrary, Zhang Shigui was more reliable.

Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "The governor of the capital trusts you. There is no deputy guard in Shule Town, but you are the only guard!"

Zhang Shigui was both happy and uneasy.

At this moment, Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and said, "The responsibility of Sima is as heavy as Mount Tai. The Governor of the Western Regions hopes that you will take care of the supply of the three towns. Be sure to ensure the supply of each town!"

Ma Zhou is a smart man, he saw the problem from Chen Ying's abnormal move of setting up three towns.Originally, the Anxi army's supply problem was a unified deployment of the Anxi army, and it is still a unified deployment now. Obviously, this is Chen Ying's countermeasure in response to Li Yuan's upcoming division of the Western Regions Protectorate.

The territory of the Western Regions is too large and there are so many soldiers and horses, the imperial court will definitely not be at ease.After being divided into three, Tingzhou Town, the largest of the three towns in the Western Regions, had only [-] soldiers and horses. In the whole country, it was already regarded as a low-ranking official in the frontier.Of course, the more important thing is that, since then, the Imperial Guard of the Western Regions has been empty. Even if Li Yuan appoints another Imperial Guard of the Western Regions, he will not be able to control the military power of the Anxi Army. As long as Ma Zhou is not replaced, the Anxi Army can firmly control it. In the hands of Chen Ying.

Ma Zhou also heard Chen Ying's hidden meaning. As long as the towns still obey Chen Ying's command, then the food and supplies can be carried out normally. If they dare to repeat, they will not be able to get supplies. However, the soldiers always have to eat Yes, if you don't give them food, don't expect them to work hard.

Chen Ying murmured: "Because the journey is too far away, you should lead the garrisons separately. The Western Regions have been in chaos for too long, and it's time to settle down. If there are no garrisons in various places, I'm afraid this year will not be good!"

Zhang Shigui, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan, Su Dingfang and others quickly took orders and left.

Chen Ying turned around and looked at Luo Shidao: "Chang'an is too dangerous, you'd better stay in the Western Regions and return to Chang'an, I'm afraid I won't take care of you!"

Luo Shixin grinned and said: "The dead bird faces upwards, and it will not die for thousands of years. Are you afraid of a ball?"

PS: In the new January, roll around and ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.

Chapter Two, Two and Three

Chapter Two, Two and Three

Do something, don't do something!

Knowing that Chang'an is a pit of fire, Chen Ying decided to jump into it.In fact, Chen Ying wasn't all for Li Xiuning, part of the reason was to make up for his own shortcomings.

Xuanwumen was bleeding, and Li Shimin got off to a very bad start.Since then, the battle for the throne of the Tang Dynasty has become more bloody.Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father, his son Li Chengqian also learned it well, but it is a pity that Li Chengqian's five hundred armored soldiers are far less than the three thousand armored soldiers of the Qin Palace.Therefore, Li Chengqian failed.

Although Li Chengqian failed in history, Li Shimin's sons did not die well. The violent internal friction caused the power of the Li Tang court to wither. .However, in the Han Dynasty, Empress Lu's dictatorship was also like the Lu family's world, but Liu Bang's backhand was too strong and protected the Liu family.

Although Wu Zetian is known as the legacy of Zhenguan, it is an indisputable fact that Li Tang's strength is too much internal friction. If Li Tang's court is still strong and strong, with fierce generals like clouds and good ministers like rain, An Lushan and Shi Siming's generation will be crushed to death like ants .

Chen Ying doesn't believe in fate, since he can live in two lives, what is impossible?

It is a blessing for Huaxia that the inheritance of the country is orderly, and the competition is controlled within a controllable range, or it can break this traditional vicious circle.

After distributing the Anxi Army, Chen Ying began to discuss with Luo Shixin, Zhou Qing, Guo Luo, Ashina Simo, Ma Zhou, Ma Mengming, etc. about the arrangement in Chang'an.

Chen Ying looked at the defense map of Chang'an City and said: "Once there is an irreversible situation, then implement the "Tian" plan!"

There is still a brigade commander in the Tiger Yi Cong that Chen Ying stayed in Chang'an. Of course, this is the core force and can serve as a backbone member for the dead.In addition, Chen Ying left behind Liang Zan in Chang'an. At this time, with the help of Luo Tong, a gold medal fighter, Liang Zan had already achieved the reputation of Guanzhong Jiyu.

It would be nonsense to let Liang Zan's community rats and heroes attack Li Yuan's Tai Chi Hall, but it should be easy for them to set fire or create chaos in the city.

The so-called "Tian" brand name plan is one of the escape plans deduced through the sand table.From when Li Yuan issued the order to when Chen Ying received the news, it took at least half an hour. Chen Ying needed to escape from Chang'an within half an hour.As long as you leave Chang'an.In the case of changing horses continuously, Chen Ying was absolutely sure that he would arrive at Chenjiabao within three quarters of an hour at most.

However, in this case, Li Yuan's decree to send troops could barely inform the twelve guards.However, with the mobilization speed of other Tang troops, Chen Ying had every chance to leave Guanzhong by water with his boat left.The improved wheel ship can pass through the Weishui River and reach the Yellow River in two hours without sparing manpower.

The so-called Tianzihao plan is actually a race against time.As long as he enters the Yellow River, Chen Ying can make a time difference with Li Yuan, and go down the river or upstream before the imperial decree arrives.Between advancing and retreating, there is enough room for maneuvering left and right.

Ma Zhou looked at Chen Ying's plan, shook his head and said, "My lord, relying on the strength of a tiger and a brigade commander alone may not be enough. It is not as good as our people now, marching through the snow, marching in disguise, in the cold , Gan, He, Sha, Jin, Ling, Qing, and the original prefectures bought Hu merchants from the Western Regions along the way, and used our people to pretend to be caravans and head to Chang'an in secret!"

Ma Zhou's opinion does have certain feasibility.After all, there are at least tens of thousands of caravans on the entire Silk Road. Not all of these caravans are in the Western Regions, but some of them stop along the way.

Ma Mengming shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's too late. Since His Majesty appointed Li Jing as the head of Liangzhou and took over the defense of Hedong, we have no chance to tamper with the strengthened control over merchants along the way!"

"Time!" Chen Ying patted himself on the forehead and said: "Yes, our people will not go to Chang'an from Hexi. The imperial court is afraid of me, and only the Western Regions trade roads are strictly controlled. They should not be too strict with Bashu. Be alert, then order Liu Tong or Xun Xiang to lead a whole army of Beiwei soldiers, disguise themselves, and enter Guanzhong from Bashu or Gannan as quickly as possible!"

Hearing this, Ma Zhou couldn't help but his eyes brightened: "It's also possible!"

"That's good if it works!" Chen Ying said, "I'll write a letter right away!"

Ma Mengming shook his head and said, "My lord, there is no need to write this letter!"

Looking at Chen Ying's doubts, Ma Mengming explained: "Find a reliable person, carry the Lord's token, and pass the order by word of mouth, so as to avoid the truth!"

Chen Ying said dumbfoundedly: "Liu Tong and Xun Xiang are my brothers and sisters..."
