Chapter 63 Guilty of words, this is the sound of the death of the country

Early in the morning, Li Jiancheng stood in front of the bronze mirror, and the maids were busy before and after, dressing Li Jiancheng in gowns.

Li Jiancheng suddenly turned around and said, "Where is the living room?" ”

Julang walked up to Li Jiancheng and bowed down and said, "The minister is here!" ”

Li Jiancheng said loudly: "Write it down...... I decided to be the seventh son of the emperor and give the name "Li Zhi". ”

The living room was a little stunned.

Julang said: "Your Majesty, the seventh son of the emperor is Li Zhi?" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded, and said solemnly: "That's right, it's Li Zhi, the rule of governing the country and the country, and the rule of the world." What I need is not a big victory or a big victory, but a great victory in the world, but a great rule in the world! ”

As he spoke, Li Jiancheng held his head high and strode forward.

Looking at Li Jiancheng's back, Zheng Guanyin hugged the fat seventh son who was spitting milk bubbles, and muttered: "Xiao Qi, your father gave him a name, and in the future, you will be called Li Zhi!" ”

In the Hall of Xiande, Li Jiancheng walked up the Danqi step by step, slowly but forcefully.

The ministers went to the palace and gave Li Jiancheng a salute.

Li Jiancheng calmly accepted the worship of the ministers.

Li Jiancheng said lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have already made a decision about the Northern Expedition. ”

The ministers all looked at Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng stood up, looked around at the ministers, and said loudly: "I have decided to accept Fang Xuanling's request, and Li Jing, the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the inspection school, is the general manager of the march of Dingxiang Road, and Li Xiaogong, the governor of the prefecture, is the deputy chief of the march, and gives Bai Jing Huang Yue, and leads the army to send troops to Dingxiang to quell the Turks. I don't know if you have any objections? ”

The ministers responded in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Li Jiancheng continued: "Ministry of Rites, choose a good day and an auspicious day, I will set up an altar to worship the general!" ”

At the same time, in a wine shop in Chang'an.

Lawyer Pei was drunk and hot, leaning on the couch on all fours.

Several children of the family still drink.

A child of a family said: "You say, this Northern Expedition, can you catch Jieli?" I heard that the Turks were so hungry that they couldn't walk, and when the army passed, they were arrested. ”

Lawyer Pei squinted and pursed his lips and said, "Do you believe this kind of coaxing a three-year-old child?" ”

A few children of the surrounding family put down the wine cup.

"Why, lawyer, do you know the border? The Ministry of War has taken the news seriously, and now everyone is asking around. ”

Lawyer Pei shook his fan lightly and looked like Zhuge Kongming was alive, and said lightly: "From the time of the Sui Dynasty to the present, several emperors have been clamoring to exterminate the Turks, whether it is Yang Jian, Yang Guang, or the current Emperor, who can win against the Turks?" After a few years, they declared that they wanted to exterminate this eclipse, but until now, the Turks are still alive, who do you believe? ”

Several children of the family looked at each other.

A child of a family said: "I heard that the desert is snowing in the north, and the Turks have starved to death countless cattle and horses......

Lawyer Pei knocked on the couch with a fan and said: "The people in Guanzhong went out to ask for food to escape the famine for the past two years. What were the Turks doing at that time? ”

"Da Lang, in your opinion......"

Lawyer Pei sat up straight and said: "Li Jiancheng is reckless, and his life is just better, so he is restless and ......."

A family member was busy looking at Lawyer Pei.

Lawyer Pei said indignantly: "What are you afraid of, I will call his name directly, what can I do?" ”

The sons of the family looked at each other.

Lawyer Pei: "The Turks can gather two or three hundred thousand iron horsemen casually, and now the army has traveled thousands of miles to Mobei to deliver it to the door, in my opinion, in this battle, the Tang army will be defeated, and it will be defeated." ”

In the second year of Kaiyuan, the sixteenth day of the lunar month.

In front of the Taiji Palace, set up a platform to worship the generals, and the ministers and the forbidden soldiers stood around.

The drums sounded, and Li Jing, dressed in military uniform, ascended to the platform and stood beside the desk.

Li Jiancheng, who was standing behind the case, gave Li Jing the white and yellow Yue, which symbolized military power.

Li Jing returned the salute, took the white and yellow Yue, and then held it and walked down the platform.

The generals who were waiting under the worship platform saluted Li Jing in unison.

Li Jing led dozens of generals to Li Jiancheng.

The chamberlains brought the wine as a send-off.

Li Shimin handed the send-off wine to Li Jing, Xue Wanche, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong and others in turn.

The guards brought the horses of Li Jing and others.

Li Jiancheng picked up a bag from the hand of the attendant beside him and handed it to Li Jing.

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "Pharmacist, this is a secret of mine, if the war goes well, there is no need to open it; If something is difficult to decide, open it and it will tell you what to do. ”

Li Jing took the bag into his arms.

"I don't live up to me, I don't live up to me! General, this is my obsession! Li Jiancheng said to Li Jing: "I hope that the general can succeed in a battle, and the Qing will not live up to me, and I will not live up to the Qing, this eight-character is an unprecedented grace of the national dynasty." I hope the general will be cautious. ”

As he spoke, Li Jiancheng waved his hand.

A row of eunuchs carried a tray, and in the tray were the iron scrolls of the Dan book that had already been written.

Li Jiancheng looked at the generals and said: "I swear here, there are no ministers with high merit in the Tang Dynasty, only incompetent kings." Built here, Datang and all the soldiers are both prosperous and prosperous. ”

Speaking of this, the soldiers present immediately burst into tears of gratitude.

Any general, especially a general like Li Jing, who is about to reach the peak of his exploits, is worried about what will happen after his death.

"When the auspicious time comes, the oath is ...... to sacrifice the flag"

……

Li Jing was standing on the top of the slope with a bird's-eye view of the marching troops below.

Du Fuwei was dressed in military uniform, stood beside Li Jing and laughed: "Pharmacist, don't drop the tips." ”

Li Jing took out the bag and looked left and right.

Du Fuwei shook his head and said: "In vain, Your Majesty has led troops to fight for so many years, and he still plays such a child's game as a clever plan, the front and rear, thousands of miles apart, the war situation is changing rapidly, and the emperor is not a god, how can he think of countermeasures in advance?" It's just a joke......"

Li Jing smiled, without words, and stuffed the bag into his arms.

……

In the Hall of Xiande, Li Jiancheng had a cold face, and flicked the text with his fingers: "Undoubtedly? So lawyer Pei is the source of the rumors? ”

Li Anyan nodded and said, "There is no doubt that the children of several families present are all in the same language. ”

Li Jiancheng sneered: "Why is the Pei family so bullish? What are they afraid to do with me? I endured it again and again, and the Pei family actually had to make inches. Isn't Pei Lin dead yet? ”

Li Anyan bowed and said: "Pei Lin was on a hunger strike for three days at that time, and his life was in danger, and the Emperor Taishang learned that Pei Lin wanted to kill himself, so he sent someone to invite Pei Lin to meet in the Ganlu Palace. At that time, the Emperor Taishang personally cooked lamb soup for Pei Lian...... And said that if Pei died alone, the emperor would not want to live alone......"

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Come on, ask Dai Zhou to come to see me." ”

……

The forbidden soldiers shouted and smashed open Pei Lian's mansion.

Dai Xuan followed the forbidden sergeant of the brigade and walked into the gate.

Dai Xuan shouted: "You can see it clearly, no matter men, women, old and young, you can't get away with one of them, and they will all be brought to the courtyard to count." ”

The forbidden soldiers, in the panicked shouting and scolding of the Pei family, pulled out men, women and children.

Up and down Pei's house, all of them were driven into the icy and snowy courtyard, and women and children kept crying.

Lawyer Pei pointed at the forbidden sergeant and reprimanded him angrily, and after being beaten a few times, he suddenly lost his voice.

Pei Lian, who was dressed in single clothes, was supported by his subordinates, standing in the ice and snow shivering, watching the forbidden soldiers escort their families away.

Pei Lian's family was chained together, crying and crying, and walked through the streets in embarrassment.

All the people along the way poured out to watch.

Fang Xuanling, who was sitting in the carriage, patted the door and window and signaled the coachman to stop.

Fang Xuanling lifted the curtains and watched the Pei family walk by.

Fang Xuanling patted the car window with a solemn face and said, "Go to the Hall of Virtue!" ”

The carriage turned around.

……

Fang Xuanling learned that the reason for the Pei family's crime was because Lawyer Pei was hungover and made a lot of nonsense.

However, Fang Xuanling still carefully checked all the facts and documents of the case.

Fang Xuanling put down the paper, looked at Li Anyan and said, "That's all?" ”

Li Anyan nodded.

Fang Xuanling frowned.

Li Jiancheng snorted coldly and said, "Now do you know, why did I dispose of the Pei family?" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded, but what he said was completely opposite.

Fang Xuanling said: "If the Pei family is punished for participating in the rebellion, then Pei Lin and Lawyer Pei are the two main criminals, both of whom are guilty of their own crimes and do not burden their families, so Pei Lian's family should not be arrested."

Li Jiancheng stood up angrily and said, "Isn't it a crime that they scolded the monarch and shook the hearts of the army and the people in the market?" ”

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, you are guilty of words, and this voice of the country is also ruined!" ”

Li Jiancheng said disapprerovingly: "I deserve to be cursed?" ”

Fang Xuanling sighed and said: "Pei Lin has long been retired, Li Yuanji and Li Xiao often rebelled, although there is strict testimony that he was involved, but after all, there is no real record, he is an old friend of the Emperor, and he is the founding father, the old minister of the Three Dynasties, it is better to leave some decent, not for Pei Lian, but for the Emperor." ”

Li Jiancheng sat back without saying a word, his head bowed.

Fang Xuanling sat down opposite Li Jiancheng, looked at him, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, the heart knot of Xuanwumen is not only a thorn in Your Majesty's chest, but also a scar in the heart of the Emperor Taishang, this knot is better to untie!" ”

Li Jiancheng suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Fang Xuanling.

Li Jiancheng said indignantly: "He insulted me, I can ignore it, but ...... He spread rumors everywhere, falsely claiming that this time the king's northern expedition would be defeated and returned, and he also slandered me, used military force, and ruined the lives of people...... Rumors are spreading everywhere, which has already made Chang'an market uneasy. If I ignore it and cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, do you know the consequences? ”

At this time, Fang Xuanling suddenly laughed.

After a while, Fang Xuanling pointed at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, you still can't rest assured that this war is going on?" Don't know the bottom of your heart? ”

Li Jiancheng was silent for a while and nodded slowly.

Fang Xuanling said: "General Chen is in Tongwan City!" ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned.

Fang Xuanling continued: "Tongwan City is only more than a thousand miles away from Dingxiang. I'm afraid that at this time, General Chen's invitation to fight is already on the way! ”

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "I also know that General Chen is only afraid that he can't wait for my edict to advance at the moment. If General Chen is cautious enough to wait for me to issue an edict before using troops, he will not be the mighty General Chen in the west! If General Chen is in the middle of the court at this moment, he takes the stage to worship the commander, and gives him the power of the Hedong side, I can naturally save worry and effort. However, General Chen is not in Guandong at the moment, in Xiazhou, in the north of Guanzhong, if he is a soldier, he will not be willing to seek the near and far to make a detour to Dingxiang, but will only drive directly from Fengzhou and Shuozhou to Tiemen Mountain, copying Jieli's back road, Fang Xuanling, am I right? ”

Fang Xuanling owed his ass: "What Your Majesty said is indeed the reason for using soldiers!" So, what is the reason for lawyer Pei? If it is the benefit of the tongue, you can lose the country and lose the teacher, so what is the use of the sword? ”

Li Jiancheng was speechless.

After a long time, Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "I can not kill Lawyer Pei!" ”

"It's not that you can't kill it, but you can't cut it off because of your words!" Fang Xuanling said coldly: "If you violate the law of the country, it will not be spared!" ”

……

In December, the weather was freezing cold, and the entire Yellow River was frozen. This allowed Chen Ying's department to cross the Yellow River and save a lot of trouble.

More than 1,600 sleds disguised as white snow bags crossed the river.

The more than 1,600 four-wheeled carriages converted into sleighs all have thick compartment walls, and the outer layer is also wrapped in cowhide and sheepskin, which can not only block the cold outside the compartment wall, but also maintain the warmth in the carriage.

Chen Ying was very well prepared for this dispatch.

However, no matter how adequate, it is still difficult.

For example, the war horses wrapped in thick blankets have frostbite and freeze to death from time to time, and many scouts have frostbite.

In pursuit of warmth,

The air in the sleigh carriage was polluted, especially among the soldiers of the Tang Army, nine out of ten people were stinky feet, and the smell inside was so sour and refreshing.

It's a pity to cross the east of the river. Picking out the wilderness to march, the speed is as slow as a snail.

Three days after setting off from the Ten Thousand Cities, Chen Ying, a pure pack horse army of 6,000, barely walked less than 400 miles.

On average, it is more than 120 miles a day. This speed, if it is the infantry of the Dingyuan Army, in the spring and autumn season, it may be easy to do.

However, it is still moving slowly.

Sit in the sleigh, open the window and look out at the slowly moving motorcade. Chen Ying sighed: "It would be nice if there was a steam engine!" ”

"Angry chicken?" Ashina Simo thought very seriously for a while, even in the Eastern Turks, his brain has to be considered to move fast, whether the tribal language is good or Chinese, as long as he listens to it for a while, he can quickly become familiar with it, but the clever Ashina Simo thought hard for a long time, after all, he still couldn't figure out what kind of chicken is considered a "competitive" chicken, and what kind of chicken is considered "not competitive", is it measured by the number and frequency of eggs?

Chen Ying's dispatch of troops this time was not like Li Jing's night attack on Yinshan, and he was inserted into Jieli's tooth tent.

Now, it is as if history has returned to square one.

Dingxiang must be the tomb of the Eastern Turks.

According to the course of history, after the defeat of Jieli Khan, he rode alone to capture Ashina Suni and lost.

However, history has changed, and due to the strength of Lingzhou, there are no Turkic tribes near Helan Mountain. And Ashina Suni lost his troops in Shengle.

Shengle is the old capital of the Xianbei Tuoba Department. It is located in Yunzhou (north of today's Lingel County, Inner Mongolia).

That is, about 200 miles northwest of Dingxiang.

Chen Ying actually went to Shengle and waited for the rabbit.

The credit for defeating the Eastern Turks can be given to Li Jing, and the great merit of capturing Jieli alive can be given, and Chen Ying is not welcome.

Of course, Chen Ying was also gambling at this time.

Bet on your luck, if the bet is successful, everyone will be happy, if the bet is lost.

Ashina Suni lost 50,000 horses under his command, which is the fat in Chen Ying's mouth!

6,000 against 50,000, with mental arithmetic and unprepared, at least a 70% chance of success!
