Chapter 182 is a ghost among ghosts

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, now that the Tang Dynasty has nine out of ten, who is the next enemy of the Li family?" ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng's words, he wanted to talk about Li Yi or Du Fuwei, but whether Li Yi or Du Fuwei, he was no longer qualified to be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yi and Du Fuwei have already been proclaimed ministers, and the names of monarchs and ministers have been decided. Both of them have a common characteristic, as courtiers of the Li family, even if they are unwilling, they can only beg for a rich and noble, and there is no need to hope for power. If the two of them don't know how to move forward, there is only one way out.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng's face changed slightly: "The clan gate valve in Guanzhong? ”

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not Guanzhong, it's the clans and gate valves of the world!" ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he felt bored for a while. In fact, without the support of the family lords, Li Tang could not enter Guanzhong, let alone win the world. Even if Li Jiancheng and Li Tang soldiers can fight again, what can they do if they have no soldiers and no food?

It's not that Datang hasn't been defeated, but what if it's defeated? With the support of the clan and the gate lord, the defeat of the shallow water plateau, the loss of 100,000 troops, but it took three or four months to replenish, in the battle of Luoyang, another 100,000 troops were lost, but in less than three months, Li Tang also replenished the lost army, with the victory again and again, Li Tang became stronger and stronger.

Li Jiancheng is a generous person, he really doesn't want to go back on his word, he doesn't believe in his word, and he loses his trust in the world.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng and hesitated, with Wei Zheng's head, it was easy to think of Li Jiancheng's pain. If the Li Tang Dynasty is compared to a company, then these family lords are not only the shareholders of the Li Tang Dynasty, but also the company's veterans. But as Li Tang's company's plate became bigger and bigger, the veterans of these companies began to become greedy and unscrupulous.

Putting prominent positions on one's own people, and using mediocre and incompetent people to serve as important positions, is the so-called incompetence of the three armies, an incompetent general will kill the officers and soldiers of the three armies, an incompetent official, or an official with a crooked buttocks, will harm the people of a state or a county. If there are only a few mediocre and incompetent officials in the world, it is not terrible, and it will not have a fatal impact on the Li Tang court, but once this kind of situation where generals do not know soldiers and scholars do not know books becomes a convention, whether it is a company or a court, it will be a catastrophe.

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "Xuancheng, how do you say this palace should be chosen?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, on the one hand, he is a family gate valve who has no achievements, and on the other hand, he is a soldier who threw his head and spilled blood for the Li family of the Tang Dynasty!" Wei Zheng stared at Li Jiancheng's eyes and said slowly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you choose to offend the world's family gates, or do you choose to offend thousands of soldiers and hundreds of millions of people?" ”

Li Jiancheng did not hesitate: "Guan Longshi clan, there is no size of merit, and he should not be rewarded!" ”

Wei Zheng was speechless for a long time, and finally said slowly: "But would King Qin think like this?" Do people in the world think so? ”

Li Jiancheng said: "The matter of the imperial examination prosecutor can be slowed down, and the most important thing now is those lands." I am afraid that the gate lords of the world clan will incite hundreds of officials to go to the Taiji Palace to knock. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Knock? That's forcing Your Majesty, and it can't hurt half a hair of His Royal Highness the Prince. On the contrary, if the whole world is against His Royal Highness the Prince, it will not be a good thing for His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded: "It's okay now, let these wealthy families in Guanzhong understand who they should support."

Li Jianchenghuo stood up and said to Wei Ting with a firm face: "Yi Zhi, you will go tomorrow and tell them that what the court has promised will definitely be done." ”

Wei Ting shook his head suspiciously and said, "I don't understand!" ”

Wei Zheng said unceremoniously: "You don't need to understand, you just need to know how to do it!" ”

Wei Ting was depressed for a while, looked at Li Jiancheng, saw that Li Jiancheng had no objection, and sighed helplessly: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

After Wei Ting left, Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Does this palace take the eldest grandson Wuji to open the knife, or to take Du Yan to open the knife?" ”

Wei Zheng said: "It's okay, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to think clearly, once the struggle starts, I'm afraid it won't be easy to end!" ”

Li Jiancheng said firmly: "Long pain is better than short pain!" ”

Although Li Jiancheng is generous, he is not a fool, let alone a woman's kindness. He knows very well that if he is overly demanding by the gate valve of the world, Datang will be like the Sima clan who relied on the gate valve to rise at the beginning, becoming a family and defeating a family.

Now he just lacks 40,000 dumps of land, and he already has a headache. However, in the future, once there is a war in Datang, or with the peace of the world, Datang will usher in a new round of population growth, in this case, the problem of land shortage will only become more and more serious, not better.

Li Jiancheng also understood that once he started a war against the clan and the gate lords under Li Shimin, Li Shimin would definitely fight back. When the time comes, you will fight me on both sides, and I will fight you, and in the end, the power of the clan gate valve will be consumed unconsciously, because such a political struggle is an internal struggle, although you will fight to the death, but it will fight but not break!

In the end, only the imperial court benefited.

Regarding the struggle between King Qin and Li Jiancheng in Chang'an City, Chen Ying always acted as a spectator. Of course, Chen Ying was not idle, he used his limited energy to train the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army.

If it is said that ordinary infantry suffer from the eighteen-layer hell reincarnation, then the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Army and the Modao Army are the suffering of the thirty-six-layer region.

In addition to training queues and coordination, armed cross-country training and combat training, the officers and men of the Modao Army also have special endurance training. The ordinary Mingguang armor weighs thirty-six pounds, plus the Mo knife and other equipment, on average, each soldier of the Mo Dao Army has to bear nearly 100 catties. Muscles and endurance have not become important factors restricting the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Modao Army.

To this end, Chen Ying also specially planned a series of endurance training. For example, during cross-country marching training, the soldiers of the Modao Army must not only be fully armed, but also carry heavy sandbags.

The soldiers of the Modao Army will start from the sandbags with a weight of ten catties, whether it is eating or training in a queue, as long as the soldiers appear on the school ground, they have to endure the ten-pound sandbags, even if they sleep, they are not allowed to take them off.

The purpose of training is to fully mobilize the strength of every muscle in their body, so that they have stronger explosive power, more durable endurance, more agile skills, and stronger will, this kind of training is undoubtedly very painful, often at the end of one day of training, the next day there is no joint in the whole body, there is no muscle in the heart, and even the palm can not be opened.

The worst thing is that this kind of training is not completed in ten days and half a month, but must accompany them for several years, as long as they are still serving in the barracks and their physical conditions permit, they must be trained in this way. The training was long and painful, and it was probably only after defeating the enemy that they enjoyed a short period of pleasure.

The Hook Sickle Lancers were even worse. They don't have such perverted endurance training, and when they were cleaned up several times and knew the importance of military discipline and queue training, they also worked hard and successfully passed these trainings. However, the next training made them cry without tears: they had to undergo more than fifty trainings, half against cavalry, half against infantry, and some to keep them alive on the battlefield.

It's easy to get people to line up in a neat queue, but how easy is it to get war horses in a neat queue? Not to mention the distraction of controlling the war horses to line up into a cavalry wall while fighting the enemy! When they finally formed the cavalry wall, a new challenge came, the demon instructor brought crossbow arrows, removed the arrows, and then wrapped cotton in the arrowheads, soaked them in fire oil, and fired rockets at the horses.

Any beast is afraid of fire, and war horses are no exception.

......After a burst of meteor-like meteors shot out, the horses were frightened and neighed, and the formation was chaotic in a blink of an eye, and then, waiting for them was another scolding. The growling and scolding of the instructors has become an important part of their lives, and there is not a day when training is not scolded. Of course, scolding and scolding, they are still measured, they will not insult the soldiers' families, and they will not hurt their self-esteem too much, and after being scolded for a long time, everyone will get used to it.

It is very difficult to train a hooked sickle lancer. Like pikemen, there is no problem in training the first half of the year to pull the battlefield, but the lancers are not good, the first half of the training can only be regarded as a little trick, the first year of training is considered to have initially formed combat effectiveness, you have to practice for two years, it can be regarded as a practice, and it is easy to have a disability accident, whether it is a war horse or a person, it is not easy to train.

Although Chen Ying did not have to participate in the training, on the training ground, he, the general of the town and the country, followed from day to night, leading by example. The sun in the Western Regions is very scorching, and the skin of the face will be tanned. Chen Ying slowly became a little darker, his face was no longer as fair as a woman, and his skin was not as delicate as mutton fat.

Lying in the bathtub, Li Xiuning looked at the layers of flesh and skin on Chen Ying's back, as well as the tanned skin, and said with a look of pity: "Chen Lang, why are you suffering?" ”

"Here is music, you don't understand!" Chen Ying looked at his reflection in the bathtub, he had changed from a perfect Luhan to Ekin Cheng, and said with satisfaction: "It's perfect!" ”

Li Xiuning was stunned.

If the soldiers of the Anxi Army and their generals were to train them so ruthlessly, just to complete their own little wishes, it is estimated that they would cry and faint in the toilet.

Chen Ying has always been dissatisfied with his appearance.

There is no way, you said that a big man with a face that looks more beautiful than a woman, how can Chen Ying, a pure man, be embarrassed?

It's just a pity that there is no plastic surgery in this era, and Chen Ying can only resign himself to the appearance given by his parents, he has also been exposed to the sun before, and he was also blown by the cold wind in the wind and snow, but the effect is not obvious. Often, after the skin turns dark, it doesn't take long for it to turn back immediately.

However, after more than three months of high ultraviolet exposure in the summer, Chen Ying's skin has faded less than two or three layers, so that with the increase of melanin on the surface of the skin, I am afraid it will not be easy to change back!

"Can't you let the army train for a few days less?" Looking at the shocking back, the lovely Li Xiuning frowned.

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "How many days less practice?" Just kidding, I don't think they train hard enough, so I'm going to add some more material to them! ”

Li Xiuning smiled bitterly and said, "It's so hard to be your soldier!" ”

Chen Ying smiled lightly: "Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime, do a ghost among ghosts, and become a master, without such awareness, it is better for them to get out of the way as soon as possible!" ”
