Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Because he didn't have much food in store.An emperor like him relied on unpalatable beef jerky for food, while ordinary soldiers could only eat grass roots, miscellaneous grains, and wild vegetables mixed with water.

……

In fact, not only Master Liang couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Chen Ying was selling in the gourd, even Li Xiaogong, the chief officer of Hedong and the king of Hejian, couldn't figure out Chen Ying's pulse.

Li Xiaogong is a model of a family, responsible, capable, and likes a luxurious life.Even when he was in war, he had more than 100 attendants by his side, always adorning his life.In terms of ostentation, three Chen Yings are not as good as one Li Xiaogong.

In this way, the two sides confronted each other in Tongwan City for half a month.

Until the beginning of December in the first year of Kaiyuan, Chen Ying finally started to make new moves.

Early in the morning, the battle drums in the Tang Army camp shook the world.

After the assembly of the whole army, Chen Ying finally issued his first order since he surrounded Tongwan City.

This is an order that makes people laugh and cry.

"The forty supply teams of the whole army are on the way, leading the troops forward, to the place where Tongwan City is a stone's throw away, and cooking!"

Although the generals did not understand Chen Ying's order, none of them dared to question Chen Ying's order.

With the sound of rumbling war drums, Tang Jun began to dispatch.

The first to appear were more than [-] four-wheeled carriages pulling coal-fired stoves. The four-wheeled carriages slowly advanced along the frozen ground and entered the place where Tongwan City was within a stone's throw. These four-wheeled carriages stopped immediately.

One side of the carriage is opened and the brackets are installed.

The soldiers of the gang leader put coal into the stove, and then started to step on the foot blower.The flames of the fire jumped more than a foot high, and a row of four to five hundred large iron pots began to cook.

Steamed steamed buns, steamed steamed buns, steamed steamed buns, rice-washed rice, and vegetables-washed vegetables, were extremely busy.

Li Xiaogong didn't understand Chen Ying's intention at first, but now he understood.

There was a shortage of food in Tongwan City, and the entire army, including Liang Shidu, could not eat enough.

Once the smell of food wafts from the outside of the city, will the troops of Liang Shidu in Tongwan City still have the will to fight?

In Chen Ying's central army tent, Chen Ying sat comfortably on the soft couch, looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "I have already sent envoys to persuade Liang Shidu to surrender. The condition I gave them is to let the past go, But they have to surrender unconditionally, I am a straightforward person, I don’t want to coax them with good words, and then play a bunch of tricks after they surrender.”

Li Xiaogong was a little helpless, in front of Li Jing, Li Xiaogong could still suppress him as an old leader.

However, in front of Chen Ying, none of this worked.

On the battlefield, pay attention to the fact that soldiers are not tired of deceit!How can we spread out everything from the beginning?

Li Xiaogong pondered: "Master Liang is far from exhausted, if they are asked to surrender unconditionally, they will not agree."

Chen Ying smiled wryly and said: "When they reach the end of the mountain, they will probably die...Didn't the scouts find that they dug out the leftover bones to make soup two days ago?"

Chen Yingying grinned and said with a smile: "If they don't agree, we will fight until they agree! Isn't it that although Liang Shidu claims to have 10,000+ troops, more than 10,000% of the [-]+ troops are water, and they can fight directly. Thirty to forty thousand is not enough for us to fight in the first battle!"

All the generals laughed,

Because of the cracked lips, no one dared to laugh too loudly, the laughter was a bit weird.

Chen Ying stood up, pointed to the map, and said: "This time, the general planned to surround the points to fight for reinforcements. I didn't expect the East Turks to be discouraged. Liang Shidu sent sixteen waves of rescue messengers. However, the East Turks People have not moved for a long time, it seems that they are ready to abandon Liang Shidu's pawn!"

Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "Actually, we and the Turkic people both understand that the meaning of Master Liang's existence is to prevent the two sides from tearing each other up. Now, both our Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Turkic people have lost patience. Therefore, Master Liang There is no need to exist anymore!"

"Master Liang has never been the target of this great general!" Chen Ying said with a faint smile, "He is not worthy!"

Having said that, Chen Ying picked up a charcoal pencil and drew an arrow on the map. Chen Ying turned to look at Li Xiaogong and said, "General Li, I have a task for you!"

Li Xiaogong immediately put away his cynical attitude, got up with a serious face and said: "The end is here!"

Chen Yingdao: "Liang Shidu still has 28 counties in three prefectures. You don't need to pay attention to Tongwancheng. Take all the counties and give them an ultimatum. Surrender or die!"

Li Xiaogong said: "General Chen, as long as Liang Shidu dies or surrenders, other counties will decide. Why bother?"

Chen Yingdao: "Next year at the latest will be the opportunity for our decisive battle with the Eastern Turks. Master Liang is very ghostly. He must have many confidantes in the counties. If the situation is not good, he will immediately burn the food stored in the counties and keep his clothes light. If you run away, if you only lead a few cronies, you still have a chance to escape. What's more, if there is a shortage of food, there will be tens of thousands more mouths, can we just watch them starve to death?"

Li Xiaogong clasped his fists and said: "The last general takes orders!"

Chen Ying turned to look at Luo Shidao: "Luo Shixin, you lead the Lancers, push flat on the front line, make a strong attack on Dingxiang, and lure the Turks to block it!"

This is a very safe method. Whether it is fighting on foot or on horseback, neither the Later Sui Dynasty nor the Liang Kingdom can compare with the Tang army who fought with the Turkic cavalry force one by one. Once squeezed to a flat and open area, the guns The cavalry came roaring, waiting for them, will be a terrible massacre.

Whether it is Chen Ying or Jian Jiancheng, they do not want to see such a massacre in their hearts. They hope that the envoys can persuade Liang Guo or Hou Sui to surrender, or annihilate Liang Jun and Hou Sui in a dignified main battle. The main force of the Sui army was not killed until blood flowed into rivers and corpses filled the field.

After all, most of the soldiers of Liang Guo and the later Sui Dynasty were honest farmers who were forced to die and followed Liang Shidu and Yang Zhengdao to the dark side. Killing tens of thousands of such enemies would not add Their honor does not help to solve practical problems.

The cold wind was blowing, and it was terribly cold.

Thousands of soldiers of the Liang army watched envoy Chen Ying come riding on a white horse with only two attendants with dull eyes, without any expression on their faces.The envoy was handsome and majestic, both in appearance and temperament. The two attendants behind him also held their heads high, neither humble nor overbearing. Just these three people entered Tongwan City without a trace of fear, as if they were shopping.

Some of Liang Jun's little bosses were amazed, such characters are rare.Of course, what attracted their attention the most was the three big bamboo baskets in their hands. It was unknown what was inside, and they were tightly covered with a clean white cloth. The scent went straight into everyone's nose, but before they could smell it enough, the cold wind blew it away.

Liu Sheng looked at the three people who came slowly before him, turned to look at Liang Shidu and said, "Your Majesty, these three people who came here are not good, what is the way?"

Liang Shidu shook his head and said: "I don't know, anyway, I won't be someone who is waiting for nothing... Wait, look, the leader doesn't even have an official uniform, what does Chen Ying mean?"

The leading young man does not have an official uniform, because he is still not an official.This person is none other than Liu Rengui, Chen Ying's personal army.

Liu Rengui's starting point was too low. Even if Chen Ying wanted to promote him, he still needed achievements that matched his position.

Historically, Liu Rengui was able to offend Li Yifu, a despicable villain with a sweet belly and a sword, and he could live to be 84 years old. Obviously, there are still two brushes.

When Chen Ying appointed Liu Rengui as an envoy, he also reminded Liu Rengui of the danger.

Liu Rengui smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's just the capital of Liang Shi, what's the point!"

Liu Rengui jumped off the horse, handed the bamboo basket in his hand to his followers, stepped forward quickly, Liang Shidu and others bowed their hands, and said: "Under Liu Rengui, see Master Liang."

Neither humble nor overbearing, with a calm and elegant demeanor, he is worthy of being an outstanding person.

Liang Shidu blinked his eyes, his head was full of doubts: "Liu Rengui?"

All the Liang Guo officials looked at me and looked at you, but none of them knew who Liu Rengui was.

Chapter 53 A simple meal messed up the army's morale

However, Master Liang didn't bother about who Liu Rengui was, he was just a lobbyist anyway.Master Liang pointed at the three bamboo baskets and said, "Is this a gift from General Chen to me?"

Liang Shidu didn't think there were too few things in the three baskets. Although he was the emperor of the "Liang Kingdom", he had been paying close attention to the movements in Guanzhong.In fact, in the past few years, a new thing called money has emerged in Guanzhong.

In fact, it is a money ticket.Coins of the same denomination can be cashed in any branch of Datang Tongli Bank at any time.
