In the study in the backyard of the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, Chen Ying gently closed the newspaper. There is a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart. Although the battle of Jinju thousands of miles away had nothing to do with Chen Ying himself, it had a direct relationship with Li Jiancheng. At this time, if Li Jiancheng could not quickly recover Taiyuan and annex the state, it would be a big blow to Li Jiancheng's prestige. If Li Shimin is allowed to gain power, it is unknown how fierce Li Shimin's blow to Li Jiancheng will be, but as himself who is in the limelight, he must bear the brunt.

Whether Chen Ying is out of gratitude or self-preservation, he can't be indifferent. Chen Ying was thinking about how to maximize the benefits, and he thought about whether there was a way to get benefits from them.

I don't know how Lai Phisheh thought that now the Turkic army that has invaded Jinzhou has exceeded 100,000 horses, and all of these Turkic soldiers and horses are under the leadership of Ashina Leversheh's younger brother Yehu Khan Ashina Ran, rampaging in the territory of Bingzhou, wantonly burning and looting.

Even if Chen Ying didn't think about it with his head or his knees, he knew that the Turkic Mobei would definitely be empty at this time, if he took advantage of the main force of the Turks to move south and attacked Mobei by surprise, relying on the Turkic old and weak, sick and disabled, he would definitely not be able to resist the attack of the Lingzhou army, and he would definitely be able to get unexpected results at that time.

At this time, Chen Ying had nearly 20,000 troops, but in charge of the defense of Lingzhou, the troops he could draw out were only more than 9,000 lightly armed cavalry of the Lingwu Army and more than 1,800 cavalry of the Dingyuan Army. The other more than 9,000 infantry needed to defend Lingzhou. If Chen Ying wants to use these more than 11,000 cavalry to occupy the entire Mobei, it is simply, but if he uses these more than 11,000 cavalry to rob the desert, he will definitely be able to return with a full load.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying felt a pounding heartbeat.

"It's done!" Chen Ying slammed his fist on the table and shouted: "Come on, drum and gather!" ”

With the sound of the thick war drums floating in the sky above Lingzhou City, what surprised Chen Ying the most was that the first person to arrive at this time was not the most well-trained Yuan Xun Second Mansion, the current Dingyuan Army's Third Fold Chong Mansion, but the Lingwu Army's Yu Guni and other Sixth Fold Chong Mansion Captains and Twelve Guoyi Deputy Lieutenants.

Seeing that Yu Guni led the soldiers of the Lingwu Army to arrive at the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion for the first time, Chen Ying stepped forward and patted Yu Guni's shoulder and said: "Its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, and it is not moving like a mountain. ”

Yu Guni was appreciated by Chen Ying, and felt so much that he wanted to cry, this was the first time Chen Ying was satisfied with him.

Hearing Chen Ying's praise for Yu Guni, Xu Jingzong said disapprovingly: "No, no!" ”

Chen Ying said curiously: "What's wrong?" ”

Yu Guni has made great progress in Tang Yan now, and when he heard that Xu Jingzong was dissatisfied with him, Yu Guni had red eyes, like a fierce beast, and wanted to tear Xu Jingzong apart. However, Xu Jingzong didn't seem to see that Yu Guni was on the verge of going berserk, nor did he see Yu Guni's cannibalistic fierce light, Xu Jingzong said lightly: "Most of the Lingwu army are Turkic!" ”｜

"Well, so what?" Chen Ying said puzzledly: "This shows that the soldiers of the Lingwu Army probably want to make meritorious contributions." ”

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Maybe there is a reason for this, but this is not the main thing, the main thing is that they are escaping a kind of torture, a torture that is ten times more painful than the enemy's desperate efforts on the battlefield......"

Luo Shixin happened to come in and said, "What kind of torture is so miserable on the battlefield?" ”

Xu Jingzong said: "It's to learn Tang Yan." ”

Chen Ying suddenly realized, and then he realized that the complicated and tongue-twisting Tang Yan was indeed a kind of torture for the Turks.

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Didn't the chief manager find that Tang Yan is very difficult for them to learn?" Not to mention anything else, it was Yu Gu Niluowu's expression, like cutting his neck with a knife. ”

Luo Shixin was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, maybe it was because of his childish contact, or maybe he didn't think that there was anything difficult to learn to speak, but literacy was very difficult for Luo Shixin. Even if he is already very attentive, Luo Shixin will practice big characters for an hour every day, but writing his own name Luo Shixin is still miserable.

Chen Ying had a playful smile on his face.

Zhang Huaiwei looked at Chen Ying with a strange smile, and asked puzzledly, "Manager, what's so happy?" ”

"I thought of a scene, haha, haha......" Chen Ying was already out of breath laughing.

Xu Jingzong also felt inexplicably wonderful, and couldn't help asking, "What scene?" ”

"I want all the people in this land to bite the wooden stopper and learn Tang Yan!" Chen Ying laughed and said, "Hit the big one, Tang Tang is lying hot...... Ha ha. Haha, although it was painful to learn, and I wanted to see my neck in pain, I still had to learn that scene with my head hanging on the beam, and it must be spectacular! Thinking of this, my heart is so happy, Xu joins the army, records orders, everyone in Lingzhou must learn to speak Tang Yan! ”

Xu Jingzong said: "I'm afraid those people won't learn!" ”

Chen Yingdao: "They will learn, don't speak Tang Yan, on the ground in Lingzhou, say a word Huyin, and be fined a penny, as long as they have money, they can continue to speak Huyu!" ”

When the crowd heard this, they were dumbfounded.

"That's fine!"

"Of course!" Chen Ying said lightly: "Fines are not the goal, it is undeniable that fines are an effective solution!" ”

Seeing that all the generals have arrived one after another, and the efficiency has obviously improved a lot compared to before. Learning Tang Yan is a kind of torture for the soldiers of the Lingwu Army, which is dominated by the Turks, than going to the battlefield, but the so-called literacy literacy is for these soldiers who are accustomed to holding the handle of the knife, holding the pen and the barrel will cost them their old life.

Chen Ying understood that it was precisely because of the study task, whether it was a soldier or a general, no one did not want to be freed from this quagmire, and when Chen Ying put forward the idea of taking advantage of the Turks going south to plunder Mobei, all the generals almost did not hesitate, and all expressed unconditional obedience.

Although the generals had no objections, Xu Jingzong raised objections: "If the army goes out of Lingzhou to Mobei, if it crosses the river north from the rope bridge crossing (the ancient ferry port of the Yellow River), and the whole army marches for nearly 2,000 miles, how can we ensure the supply of the army?" ”

Even if it were all cavalry, in fact, it needed supplies. First of all, the war horse needs forage to replenish nutrition, otherwise the war horse will lose weight seriously and will run away from the horse. It's certainly not enough to just let the horses graze.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "We can feed the war with war, and we can eat the enemy!" ”

Zhang Shigui said: "If this is the case, then the movements of the army will definitely be detected by the Turks, and lose their suddenness. ”

Chen Ying was also thinking about this issue, and he found that military operations really can't be too naïve, and although the plan is good, it is not executable.

Chen Yingdao: "Then how can we reduce the pressure on Jinju? ”

Liu Tong hesitated for a moment and said, "The last general...... At the end of the year, the general suggested that the governor should revise the original strategy, first pull out the nail of Huaiyuan, and then follow the Yellow River all the way north to recover Fengzhou, and we can use the Yellow River water transportation to urgently organize the construction of a group of square boats (i.e., a kind of flat-bottomed boat) to transport supplies along the Yellow River. We can go all the way north, approach the southern foot of Fengzhou to show off our military might, and then continue the Yellow River valley to the east, and go straight to the side of Shengzhou, if the situation is favorable to us. If the situation is unfavorable to us, we will retreat to Fengzhou, and as long as it is not delayed for too long, our army will always be safe. As long as our army can drive to the south of Fengzhou, even if it is just to make an appearance, it is impossible for the Turks to remain indifferent at this moment......"
