Chapter 178 The child who will call has milk to eat

"Summoning the sons and daughters of the leaders of Bashu to be included in the appointment, and recommending them to the outside world, and taking them as hostages internally" In the Taiji Palace of Chang'an, Li Yuan was full ......of spring breeze. In front of him is Li Xiaogong's "Pingxiao Milling Strategy", of course, as long as people who are familiar with Li Jing will see at a glance that there are too many traces of Li Jing in Li Xiaogong's Pingxiao Policy.

Although the Tang Dynasty suffered a defeat in Luoyang, Li Yuan was not worried, there was a risk of Hangu Pass, even if the six countries of Kwantung that year, the united army of one million could not conquer it. As long as Li Shimin led the army back, Datang would put the main direction of attack in Badong, first destroy Xiao Miao, and then unite with Du Fuwei to attack Lin Shihong, as long as Lin Shihong was destroyed, the entire Jiangnan could be determined.

At that time, Wang Shichong will be surrounded by the north, west, and south of the Tang Dynasty, and he will definitely take care of one and lose the other.

Li Yuan did not hesitate to appoint Li Xiaogong as the governor of Xinzhou, and Li Jing joined the army as the governor of Xinzhou, and entered Li Xiaogong as the king, knighted Zhao County, and changed Xinzhou to Kuizhou.

Unifying the world and creating the Tang Dynasty Li clan to unify the country for all generations, what a remarkable feat! With such military exploits, at least it can be comparable to Han Guangwu in the history books, Li Yuan was happy, Feng Deyi walked in in with great embarrassment, knelt down on one knee at him, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please punish the old minister......"

Li Yuan hurriedly glanced at Feng Deyi and found that his official boots actually showed his toes, his eyes were covered with red bloodshots, his hair was unkempt, and his body exuded a strong rancid smell.

Li Yuan was startled when he saw this scene, and hurriedly said, "Deyi, you are ......?"

Feng Deyi said aggrievedly: "The minister was ordered by His Majesty to go to Luoyang to announce the secret decree, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin refused to obey the edict on the grounds that the general was not subject to the orders of the monarch abroad, and said...... Say...... If you don't take Luoyang, you vow not to return the army! ”

Feng Deyi learned that Li Shimin was resolute, and did not persuade him, but returned to Chang'an overnight in the rain. You must know that Luoyang is more than 700 miles away from Chang'an, if it is an hour and a half away from the high-speed rail in later generations, but Feng Deyi ran non-stop for two nights and a day, and then rushed to Chang'an.

Li Yuanhu looked at Feng Deyi suspiciously and said, "There is actually such a thing?" King Qin is too bold, right? ”

Pei Lin frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that the previous information was not accurate, and King Qin was only a small setback in Luoyang?" Does King Qin still have the strength to fight again? ”

In Pei Lian's mind, this is the only situation, Li Shimin is unwilling to give up the imminent victory, and he will definitely dare to disobey the order. Li Shimin is Li Yuan's son, even if he disobeys again, Li Yuan will not kill him, and the great thing is to dismiss the official and go to the knight. Just like Li Yuanji's loss of the land of Taiyuan Longxing, such a serious crime, put it on other people, it is enough to raid the family and exterminate the clan, but Li Yuanji has only been a commoner for three months, and he has already recovered the prince and regained the title of the third rank of the general (this is a Tang Dynasty commander, there is no quota).

Feng Deyi shook his head and said: "It's definitely not a small setback, but a big defeat, His Royal Highness the King of Qin commanded an army of 150,000, and now there are less than 50,000 people in the northern camp, and there are heavy losses in horses, armor, grain, and baggage." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan's heart sank. The smile on his face disappeared, and he asked coldly, "What does King Qin want to do?" ”

Feng Deyi muttered: "It's not ......"

"But what?" Li Yuan asked.

Feng Deyi said: "However, the champion general Chen Ying, together with Princess Pingyang, Qi Wang Yuanji, Qin, Cheng, Luo, Hou and other generals recently won a big victory in Luoyang, defeating the strong with weakness, completely annihilating more than 20,000 people under the command of Wang Shichong, the king of Jialou, Zhu Cang, beheading more than 8,000, capturing more than 13,000 people, and capturing Zhu Cang alive!" ”

"Captured Zhu Cang alive?" Li Yuan was surprised: "Why didn't I receive the good news?" ”

Feng Deyi took the opportunity to pretend to be pitiful and said: "The minister came back from the camp in the north, and he didn't stop all the way, and he wanted to come faster than the messenger. ”

At this moment, a little eunuch entered with small steps, came to Li Yuan and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Henan Mansion Guanjun Rong envoy An Xing asks to see you!" ”

Hearing the news that Feng Deyi returned to Beijing overnight, there was no one more nervous than Anxing, Henan Province. As long as they are eunuchs, they all have a common hobby, that is, they like money. Henan Mansion Guanjun Rong envoy An Xing is no exception, Chen Ying promised him that as long as he deposits his money in Datang Tongli Village, he will be given an annual interest of 10%, which is the highest treatment of Tongli Village. That is to say, 10,000 yuan earns 1,000 yuan a year. An Xing saw that it was profitable, but he smashed his old capital into Datang Tongli Money Village. That's 65,000.

It is precisely because Chen Ying's interests are directly related to his benefits that if Chen Ying is bitten by Feng Deyi. Although with Chen Ying's identity at this time, as long as he does not rebel, he will not be killed, but once Chen Ying goes to the official to dismiss the knight, Chen Ying will have no way to keep Tongli Qianzhuang, and his pension money will be lost.

When An Xing proposed to Chen Ying to return to Chang'an, Chen Ying said disapprerovingly: "What a big deal, do you need to be so nervous?" ”

An Xing felt the urge to vomit blood. He was so anxious that he couldn't do it, Chen Ying, the party who was not in a hurry, finally knew what it meant for the emperor not to be in a hurry, and the eunuch was in a hurry! Although it was the idea of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to refuse to withdraw this time, did Feng Deyi dare to bite the king of Qin? The lesser of the harm must be aimed at Chen Ying.

Of course, peace of mind is purely to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Although Feng Deyi slipped his head, he knew that Li Shimin was not easy to mess with, but Chen Ying was also not easy to mess with, Chen Ying was not alone, there was Hou Mo Chen standing behind him, with the passage of time, especially Hou Mo Chen Xu returned from Lingnan, although Hou Mo Chen Xu was secretive, but the gate valves of the major clans in Chang'an got some rumors.

Guizhou and other seventeen states fangren thirteen caves and one hundred and eighty-three villages, headed by Hou Mo Chen, once he has a bad relationship with Hou Mo Chen, Hou Mo Chen casually sent some dead soldiers over, if you can't kill you, you have to be disgusted to death.

Of course, this is not the most important, the most important thing is that Chen Ying is Li Jiancheng's doorman, and he is also one of the most popular people in the East Palace. Once you offend Chen Ying, you will not only have to bear the revenge of Hou Mo Chen, but also the anger from the East Palace, which is simply a long time for the birthday star to hang himself.

Li Yuan's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand and said, "Xuan'an Xing is in the hall!" ”

As soon as An Xing entered the hall, everyone frowned. If Feng Deyi is just embarrassed, then An Xing should be miserable, his face is blue and white, his lips are chapped, although his clothes have been wiped temporarily, but there are still a lot of mud dots, he is extremely embarrassed, where is it like watching the army, it is even worse than calling Huazi!

An Xing hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Slave maid to see Your Majesty!" ”

Li Yuan frowned and asked, "Why are you so embarrassed?" ”

An Xing trembled and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid has an important military situation to play, so he rode a fast horse against the wind and rain, and rushed back to the capital from Beibi Mountain, this way I have suffered a lot, but the stakes are very high, but I can't take care of it!" ”

Li Yuan was even more slightly moved, it seems that this Anxing, the prison army, is still very conscientious, and it has reached the level of playing with his life! He said with some emotion: "The military situation is important, but you can't be too careful, if you have anything to do, who will do something for me?" ”

An Xing said: "The slave maid is to give His Majesty good news!" ”

"Annunciation, where does the joy come from?" Li Yuan was really depressed in his heart, the 150,000 army was broken in half, and he was happy to report his fart.

An Xinglang said: "The King of Qin misjudged Wang Shichong to escape, and personally led the Xuanjia cavalry to pursue Wang Shichong, but he did not take precautions, and fell into the siege of Wang Shichong's army of fifty or sixty thousand in Longmen, and the general Qu Tu was defeated by Wang Shiyun, and the soldiers were either captured or killed. General Chen and the soldiers of the Donggong Yue cavalry army, dedicated to serving the country, moving forward bravely, and not turning their heels, General Chen, General Luo Shixin, and General Zhang Shigui, the three heavy generals, are the first soldiers, and the army is like a bamboo, defeating Wang Shichong in Longmen Mountain, marching forward, and rescuing His Royal Highness the King of Qin......"

Although Li Yuan already knew the result, this reassuring mouth was really good, just like a storyteller, he described the entire battle of Longmen and the battle of Beipi with ups and downs and exciting. Li Yuan asked nervously, "What happened later?" ”

"It's miserable...... An Xingru mourned and said: "This battle is too miserable for our Tang Dynasty, although the Beipi battalion was saved at the last moment, but the soldiers suffered huge losses and low morale, at this time, Wang Shichong's general Jialou Wang Zhu Cang led more than 30,000 troops to provoke in front of the camp, His Royal Highness the King of Qin was unavailable, and the Yue cavalry under the command of Chen Ying's army was barely able to fight......

An Xing's speech is very artistic, obviously Zhu Cang only has more than 20,000 people, he changed it slightly, increased 10,000 people, and became 30,000, but 10,000 more horses and 10,000 less horses, can the result be the same?

An Xing said eloquently, "...... Killed more than 16,000 people......"

Just said this, Feng Deyi jumped up and said, "What are more than 16,000 people, aren't they beheading 8,000?" ”

An Xing called Qu Lai: "Your Majesty, all the beheadings have been inspected by the military department Lang Chinese Zheng Ming Wenlang, and there is also the military department Shangshu Qu Tutong present, if the slave and maid have a word to tell a lie, let the slave and maid have ten thousand arrows through the heart, and they will not ......die well."

Li Yuan glared at Feng Deyi fiercely, Feng Deyi's head shrank, and he stopped talking.

An Xing looked at Feng Deyi with a provocative look, which made Feng Deyi so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

"Mo knife dances like flying, when the people are broken, the enemy army does not dare to chill, Zhu Cang does not dare to rein its edge, and retreats in panic. The morale of our army was greatly boosted, and the offensive became more and more fierce...... "It took An Xing a full hour and a half to tell the whole story of the Battle of Luoyang, and the ministers in the entire hall were fascinated by it.

Pei Lin stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and said, "The iron cavalry is bloody and rushing, strong!" I really want to see the demeanor of my Datang Iron Rider with my own eyes! ”

At this moment, An Xing cried out with a heart-rending voice, tears and snot flowing: "No, no, Pei Xiangguo can no longer see it, this iron cavalry galloped for more than 200 miles in just two and a half hours, during which twenty-one times rushed into the enemy formation, even if the soldiers of the Zheng army were not frightened, but almost all of these horses were exhausted, and the soldiers were also exhausted!" ”

Li Yuan originally planned to let Li Shimin retreat to Guanzhong, and Guandong would give up all of them, but when he heard An Xing's words, his head was hot, and he immediately said: "Isn't it just 15,000 war horses?" I can afford to lose. ”

Li Yuan turned to look at Pei Lin and asked, "Supervisor Pei, how many war horses can Chang'an City draw now?" ”

"This ......" Pei Lin heard it, and felt that something was wrong, didn't he say it, first go south, then go north, why did he change his hexagram now? But Pei Lian's cleverness is that in a public place, he will definitely not contradict Li Yuan, but follows Li Yuan's words and says: "Back to Your Majesty, there are 18,000 official horses in the two horse farms of Zhongnanshan and Shanglinyuan, and if they are the private horses of the major families in Chang'an, there are more than 20,000. ”

The war horses of this era are actually like private cars equivalent to later generations, and the families of the poor are full, not to mention the war horses that need to consume a full twenty stones of grain a year, but these twenty stones of food, for the family gate, are simply a child peeing, drizzle, and not worth the sun. Just like Pei Lian, he himself has more than 500 war horses at home, of course, not all of these war horses are raised in Chang'an City, most of them are outside the city. However, Pei Lin knew that there should be no less than 50,000 private horses in the entire Chang'an people, and 20,000 was a conservative estimate.

Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "In my name, I will borrow from the major families first, and in the future, I will transfer the good horses back from the Longyou Horse Farm, and I will return them, and I will make up 30,000 and send them ......as soon as possible."
