Chapter 64 Three generations have descended, but now is the hero of a great country

For this war, Chen Ying took out almost all his family resources.

There are a total of 30 regiments in the six Zhichong Prefectures of the Lingzhou Dingyuan Army, and it is only a trivial matter to draw out the combat troops of 20 regiments. The Tiger was a scout of the same size as the three Yi and was in charge of intelligence reconnaissance.

In addition, the two auxiliary units of the Zhichong Province sent by the Shuozhou side were deployed in the rear of the army to ensure the full operation of the logistics system.

In order to deal with the impending battle of trapped beasts among the Eastern Turks, the troops of the Modao Army, the newly formed Lingwu Army, were fully mobilized. This Modao Army, it can be said that all of them are composed of young and strong troops from Li Daozhen in the eighteen towns of Lingwu, and the number is not large, but it is worth more than 500 people.

For the success of this dispatch of troops, as well as large-scale seizures. Chen Ying contacted the Datang Imperial Firm to form a North Road Logistics and Transshipment Trading Company, and a large number of livestock, vehicles, and manpower were invested in the rear of the war, not only to ensure the supply of materials for the combat troops, but also to ensure the large-scale long-distance transportation of the expected war booty.

This is a bold attempt by Chen Ying.

In this operation, it can be expected that this must be a large-scale pursuit battle. As long as it is a pursuit battle, there will definitely be no less capture. The gecko broke its tail to survive, and the Eastern Turks would adopt this method to slow down the pursuit of the Tang army. In this case, the officers and men of the Dingyuan Army will easily become a transport team.

In order to avoid this from happening, Chen Ying asked Shang Jia to accompany the army. Captured supplies are delivered directly to caravans, directly cashed, or converted into supplies for the army.

Along the way, Chen Ying always stood in front of the car window, enjoying the mountain scenery with a relaxed heart, humming some melody and strange lyrics that no one could understand from time to time, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth from time to time.

It's a pity that no one can understand Chen Ying.

Happiness that is not understood by others is a kind of sorrow.

Chen Ying led the troops to pick up the leaks, Li Jing was laborious and time-consuming, desperately fighting, and defeated Jieli, but Chen Ying won the biggest contribution to this battle of the country at the most critical time.

It's refreshing to think about.

……

In the Furong Garden of Chang'an City, hundreds of soldiers under the leadership of He Yue'er and Ma Sanbao quietly stood outside the dormitory waiting for their orders.

In the dormitory, Li Xiuning was dressed in bright light armor, lined with plain white slashing robes, the whole person was neat and radiant, although his body was slightly thin, but he couldn't hide the surging heroic spirit in his long body.

Li Yuan personally tied the strap under Li Xiuning's chin, patted her heart goggles gently, and said with a smile: "In different palaces in the army, there are no others to talk to, restrain your temperament, listen to the opinions and ideas of others, don't whip people with whips at every turn, treat soldiers well, they are dying for you after all!" ”

Li Xiuning's eyes caught a glimpse of Pei Lin who was like rotten bones on the side, Pei Lin knelt on the ground, still crying.

Looking at Pei Lian's appearance, Li Xiuning sighed in his heart: "Poor people must have something to hate!" ”

Li Xiuning smiled: "Daddy, don't worry! Sanniang is not the first time to lead the troops, and she has a good grasp of the thoughts of those Qiu Ba in the army. ”

At this moment, the waiter shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Li Yuan turned around and watched Li Jiancheng walk into the main hall.

Li Jiancheng walked to Pei Lian's side, looked gentle, helped Pei Lin up, and said, "Uncle, the weather is cold, kneeling on the ground, it is easy to hurt your body, let's get up and talk." ”

Li Yuan looked at it in amazement, and Li Jiancheng helped Pei Lin sit down.

Pei Lin looked at Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan, and Li Xiuning blankly

Li Jiancheng handed a cup of hot tea to Pei Lian.

Li Xiuning said: "Da Lang, the troops are here, if you are young, I won't go to see her!" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Sanniang, rest assured, Guanyin is a generous person, and he will not treat Ruoxi badly!" ”

Li Xiuning really didn't want to wade into this troubled water, so he excused himself to send troops and left Furong Garden.

Li Jiancheng watched Li Xiuning go away and watched Li Xiuning disappear at the door. Only then did he turn to look at Pei Lin and said, "Uncle, it's not that I'm not close to people, do you know what Lawyer Pei and the Pei family's sons and nephews have done?" ”

Li Yuan asked knowingly, "What did they do?" ”

Li Jiancheng straightened his waist, looked at Pei Lin aggressively, and said: "They are spreading rumors everywhere, falsely claiming that this time the king's northern expedition will definitely be defeated and returned, and they also slandered me, recklessly used military force, and ruined the lives of people......

Li Yuanhuo's face sank.

Li Jiancheng said indignantly: "The 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, will my uncle know the consequences? ”

Pei Lian's hand holding the cup trembled.

Li Jiancheng said: "Our army has not yet started the war, and the rear of our own house is already in chaos, how is this different from the enemy? If my uncle is free, please persuade my nephews and nephews in the family, and don't say that those relatives and enemies are happy when the enemy is at a moment's notice...... Irresponsible words. ”

Pei Lin was speechless for a moment, and looked back and forth at Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng in a panic.

Li Yuan snorted coldly.

Li Jiancheng still said respectfully: "In addition, Uncle Mingjian, the Pei family's sons and nephews can do what they do today, I am afraid it has nothing to do with what my uncle does on weekdays, my uncle should not be strict with the demon monks, close contacts, and even more not, when Li Xiaochang rebelled, he didn't know about it and watched from the wall." ”

Pei Lian's face turned pale suddenly, he knelt down tremblingly, kowtowed again and again, and wept bitterly: "The minister is guilty!" The minister is guilty!

Li Yuan said with a look of disbelief: "Da Lang, why don't I know about these things?" ”

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly and said: "Daddy, the child didn't know about these things, but when Xiaochang was dying, he left a letter to his son, and the child only learned about it." This matter, the child has not announced it to the public so far, just to save some face for Uncle Pei. ”

Li Yuan closed his eyes in pain, opened them after a while, looked distressed, walked up to Pei Lian, pointed at Pei Lin with his finger and said, "Pei San, Pei San, you're not ...... Are you confused? ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Daddy, don't be angry. Although the uncle knew, he did not participate in the rebellion after all, and the culprit had been ambushed, and outsiders did not know about it. ”

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin with a look of relief.

Li Yuan turned around and pointed at Pei Lin and said, "Pei San, Da Lang spared you old fool, what do you say?" ”

Pei Xiao trembled and kowtowed again: "The old man will go to the table, resign from the position of Sikong, return to his hometown, and think about it behind closed doors." ”

Pei Lin staggered out of the main hall.

Li Yuan watched Pei Lin walk away, turned to look at Li Jiancheng and said, "Da Lang, thank you." ”

Li Jiancheng suddenly sat down and began to cry with a face full of grievances.

Li Yuan was baffled by Li Jiancheng's sudden move.

Li Yuan was puzzled and said, "Da Lang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Jiancheng wiped a handful of snot with his sleeve and said with tears: "Daddy, this emperor is not made by people at all......"

Li Yuan opened his mouth and stammered.

Li Jiancheng said even more sadly: "Whatever you do, someone is in charge, if you make a wrong step, you won't succeed, the Manchu Dynasty is either cold or fierce; The death of a person in a remote state and county is said to be the responsibility of the Son of Heaven; Even if you play ball or ride a horse, you will be admonished...... Now, it's not even allowed to lead troops to fight, I knew this, and the ghost was willing to be this bird emperor......"

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan angrily and said, "Daddy, I really don't know, how did you survive back then?" ”

Li Yuan looked at him in amazement, in front of him, Li Jiancheng, who had no image at all, suddenly burst out laughing.

After a long time, Li Yuan smiled enough before he said, "Dalang, do you remember the white horse at home when you were a child?" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Daddy is talking about "stepping on snow"? ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "It's "stepping on snow." ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Why don't you remember, when Daddy gave this horse to Yang Guang, I was sad for a while." ”

Li Yuan said: "Alas! On the first night of the farewell, you stayed in the stable, ate and slept with the snow, and cried in your room all day at parting. ”

Li Jiancheng pursed his lips and said, "How did I hear that Daddy also secretly shed tears?" ”

Li Yuan straightened his face and said displeasedly: "Why is Daddy crying? Sling the bull! ”

Li Jiancheng said: "It was my mother who said it, Daddy got up at night, went to the stable, sat for a night, in the morning, my mother looked for you, and found that your face was full of tears." ”

Li Yuan said hurriedly: "That's the dew in the morning, in spring and autumn, there will be dew in the morning." ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Daddy is lying! ”

Li Yuan was about to continue his defense, when he suddenly laughed with Li Jiancheng.

An attendant cautiously walked up to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, does Your Majesty go to the Hall of Virtue to review the chapter?" ”

Li Jiancheng waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no...... I still have to talk to Daddy. It's time for dinner. Come on, set up wine, I want to have a few drinks with Daddy! ”

……

In the main hall of the Provincial Government Hall under the door, a calligrapher Lingshi put a chapter on Fang Xuanling's desk, but he didn't want to, he knocked down the pen holder, and the pen holder smashed into the inkstone full of ink, blackening Fang Xuanling's body and the chapter being written on the desk.

Shu Ling Shi was so frightened that he lowered his head and didn't dare to move.

Fang Xuanling used a brush to poke the trouble-making book Ling Shi said: "Clean up and help me get a new piece of hemp paper." ”

The book made Shi stunned for a long time.

Wei Zheng walked over and said, "What, do you still want to be scolded before leaving?" ”

Shuling Shi hurriedly gave Fang Xuanling a look, and ran away.

Wei Zhengmu sent the book to Ling Shi ran out of the door, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Xuan Ling has changed so much recently!" ”

Fang Xuanling looked up at Wei Zheng and said, "Why did Xuancheng say this?" I'm not the same as before, what can change? ”

Wei Zheng waved his hand and shook his head: "Xuan Ling has been a lot less angry recently. ”

Fang Xuanling smiled dumbly and said, "If this is the case, Xuancheng is not wrong. ”

Wei Zheng asked curiously, "Xuan Ling, what's the happy event recently?" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "I lost a bet." ”

Wei Zheng was a little stunned and said, "Lost the bet?" Or is it a happy event? ”

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "I lost to Your Majesty."

Fang Xuanling looked directly at Wei Zheng calmly and said: "After the Xuanwu Gate, I made an appointment with today's son to gamble. His Majesty once made a bet with Xuan Ling, and His Majesty swore that he would let me see if he could become a famous and enlightened monarch through the ages, and swore that he would not kill me because of my dispute. ”

Wei Zheng smiled knowingly, looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "In this way, Xuanling admits defeat, is he admitting that he is a generation of holy masters?" ”

Fang Xuanling was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Wei Zheng's sleeve and made a silent movement. Fang Xuanling whispered: "Xuancheng, don't let Your Majesty listen to these words!" ”

Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Xuanling playfully.

Fang Xuanling smiled helplessly: "The eldest man of the Li family is a high-flying and jumping character, with a little merit, and if he is praised a little, he will his tail and be confused, he is more than thirty years old, but his young heart has not changed." ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head amusedly and said: "As long as the people around him mention more and help more, this Li family elder will definitely be able to create the most prosperous and peaceful era for three generations." ”

Wei Zheng's expression was grim, and he looked at Fang Xuanling in disbelief.

Fang Xuanling nodded firmly.

Wei Zheng still had a look of disbelief on his face, and shook his head again and again: "Xuan Ling is really ...... To my surprise, in my impression, Xuan Ling should be a ......"

Fang Xuanling laughed and said, "What should it be?" ”

Wei Zheng frowned, towards the wording, it was better to have nothing good to say.

Wei Zheng said: "Xuan Ling should be a ...... The miser, who has never jumped out of his mouth, has never been able to say half a sentence of his own words, and suddenly such a big change, I really ......"

Fang Xuanling laughed even louder, and said lightly: "Xuancheng, Your Majesty can even give up the opportunity to drive the expedition in person, which shows that in his heart, the ideal of the great rule of the world is already a more important thing than leading troops to fight." ”

Wei Zheng nodded in agreement and said: "No one is perfect, and the same is true for the emperor, but people are valuable in being able to know and self-discipline." Your Majesty is a person who is good at self-discipline. ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Yes! Li Jialang, although he cannot be regarded as the most shrewd and capable emperor since the three generations, is the most self-aware and self-disciplined king among the people and masters that Fang has encountered. ”

Wei Zheng high-fived in agreement, his expression agitated.

Fang Xuanling smiled faintly: "Such a quality would actually exist in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has always been known for his impulsiveness and recklessness, this is indeed beyond my expectations." ”

The smile on Fang Xuanling's face gradually deepened.

Fang Xuanling walked to the door of the political affairs hall, suddenly turned around and said, "It's not early, Xuancheng, I invite you to drink?" ”

Wei Zheng was embarrassed and looked at the document on the case.

Fang Xuanling took three steps and made two steps, rushed forward and grabbed Wei Zheng and said: "You will never be able to deal with these official duties, rest tonight, and I will help you get it tomorrow!" ”

Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling with a serious look, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, okay, Xuanling, you don't have to work so hard, just by you, drink tonight!" ”

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling left the political hall together, and then came to Fang Xuanling's mansion together.

Mrs. Fang's Lu Shi arranged a table of side dishes for the two, there were no delicacies from the mountains and seas, but Wei Zheng's favorite vinegar celery and salted soybeans.

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng raised their glasses and said, "Xuancheng, I've always had a doubt, I don't know if I can ask you?"

Wei Zheng smiled: "Why should Fang Gong be polite, just ask." ”

Fang Xuanling put down the wine cup, tilted his head sideways and thought for a while: "Xuancheng has experienced the three masters, in your opinion, who among the three people is stronger?" ”

Wei Zheng picked up the wine cup and drank it bitterly, then wiped his mouth, and pondered: "Pushan Gong Li Mi, a generation of heroes, has perseverance, courage, responsibility and determination, but unfortunately the suspicion is too heavy, and he is suspicious of people, and he is suspicious of people, and he is suspicious of people, and he is finally defeated......

Fang Xuanling held the wine glass thoughtfully.

Wei Zheng said: "Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, is benevolent and fair, a corporal of etiquette and virtue, and also from Basil, he knows the suffering of the people, but unfortunately he is indecisive and his mind is not strong, so he is defeated and the tiger is firmly ......"

Wei Zheng paused, looked out the window, and his eyes were confused: "Only His Majesty can be called a great country and a hero for three generations!" ”

The concept of a great power. Both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, have multiple political meanings.

Western Zhou feudalism. Hundreds of miles for the country, ten miles for the home, the king of the period of the hundred and small in one breath out of the hundreds, the vassal states, after hundreds of years of mutual conquest and annexation, the so-called big country has also formed its unwritten standard.

Thousands of miles of land, thousands of cars, is for a big country.

The so-called Che Qiancheng, that is, the standing army in the country reached more than 10,000 people, and the Zheng, Song, and Qi states in the early Spring and Autumn Period were such standard powers.

Later, after political innovation and economic development, the Qi, Jin, Qin, and Chu dynasties were finally formed, and the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the seven heroes of the Warring States Period were finally formed.

The historical tide is rolling forward, and the concept of the so-called great power is also constantly evolving, and the simple way of ranking seniority according to geographical area and military strength has been constantly impacted, and the concept of great power has begun to carry more and more political and diplomatic connotations.

The so-called great power, can make the princes of the world to serve as ministers, the heyday of the great country, just an envoy to hold the festival, can destroy a country, Ban Chen Tang Wang Xuance, is a typical representative of the power of a great power.

The so-called "those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away" is a slogan shouted by the Central Plains in its heyday with a naked and undisguised chauvinistic color.

Once upon a time, the heavenly khan was angry, the dust and sand of the desert in the Western Regions were flooded, the blue waves of the East China Sea were turbid, and the lazy and strong man in the Taiji Palace was a fart, and he could also stir up great wind and thunder on the desert grassland.

Wei Zheng suddenly remembered the grand blueprint that Chen Ying had outlined to him.

PS: Yesterday on Chinese New Year's Eve, I had a few more drinks with my family. The update was delayed, and I got up at twelve o'clock to code words, but unfortunately, the sound of firecrackers continued, and many ideas were interrupted...... Happy New Year to all!
