Chapter Eighty-Eight: Supporting Lingzhou

When Li Shimin heard this, he didn't wait for Chen Ying's reaction, and hurriedly glanced at Hou Junji. He took a fancy to Luo Shixin and Kan Ling, and was trying to win them over to join him, and he would never allow Chai Shao to stir up the situation at this time.

The eldest grandson Wuji can't pull Chai Shao, it doesn't mean that Hou Junji can't pull Chai Shao. Hou Junji is now one of the few masters in the Qin Palace. After this little episode, Li Shimin and Luo Shixin pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank it repeatedly.

Chen Ying was naturally unwilling to make a wedding dress for Li Shimin, and whenever Li Shimin proposed to solicit Luo Shixin, Chen Ying deliberately pulled the topic away.

"Brother Kan, why did you come to Chang'an?"

As for Chen Ying's question, in fact, it is also the answer that Li Shimin desperately wants to know. Kan Ling is Du Fuwei's adopted son, when Li Yuan ascended the throne and became emperor, Yuan Wendu and others who stayed in Luoyang also supported the enthronement of Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and was also the emperor of Huangtai. Du Fuwei was a vassal to Yang Tong and was named the king of Chu by Yang Dong and the governor of the host. Li Shimin secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that Wang Shichong would not tolerate Du Fuwei and have a bad relationship with Du Fuwei, and Du Fuwei also intended to join forces with Tang to attack Zheng? In fact, Li Shimin's guess is not far from ten.

Kan Ling hesitated for a moment, and slowly said, "Father asked me to come to Chang'an......"

Yang Tong is a puppet in the hands of Wang Shichong. Just after Wang Shichong defeated his old enemy Li Mi, his power swelled, and his ambitions also swelled, at this time, he wanted to unify all the mountains of the Sui Dynasty, so Du Fuwei, who controlled 72 counties in eight counties of Jianghuai and had more than 100,000 troops, became a thorn in Wang Shichong's side. As a puppet, Yang Tong had to follow Wang Shichong's intention to let Du Fuwei enter Luoyang to meet him.

When Du Fuwei received Yang Tong's holy decree, he immediately felt the murderous intent hidden in this holy decree. As long as he goes to Wang Shichong's territory in Luoyang, he will definitely become a hostage, and Jiang Huaijun will be surnamed Wang from now on. Du Fuwei consulted with Fu Gongyou and decided to make two preparations.

On the one hand, he was hypocritical and snake with Wang Shichong, who gave orders under the banner of Yang Dong, and on the other hand, he sent Kan Ling and Wang Xiong to Chang'an to prepare to join forces with Tang to attack Zheng. After Kan Ling came to Chang'an, he happened to meet Chen Ying and set up a flowing water seat, and in line with the principle of being a bastard if he has a advantage, he brought the members of the mission to eat and drink.

When he saw Luo Shixin's provocative words, he couldn't help but take action.

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart. There is Wagang Li Mi cooperation in the east, Jianghuai Du Fuwei in the southeast, and the three join forces to attack Wang Shichong, and the matter is half done, once Luoyang is occupied, the strategic security of Datang can be greatly changed.

Li Shimin could see that Wei Zheng was not fake to him. With Li Shimin's head, it is easy to think of it. For a person like Wei Zheng, the indescribably expensive King of Qin is actually not attractive at all.

As a first-class prince, what King Qin can give Wei Zheng is really limited. He only has the power to appoint officials below the fifth grade, but once he is labeled as the Qin Palace, it is not only not a help, but a fatal obstacle for his future career.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, compared to the end of the Tang Dynasty, only the crown prince had the power to open the government and build a government. The Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts, as long as he has enough meritorious service, he can be rewarded, and now he has been honored as Shang Shuling, and his official position has been promoted. He is already the Prince of Yipin, and his title cannot be promoted. So meritorious but can't not be rewarded, only reward him for the power to open the government and build the government, as long as he has the power to open the government and build the government, he can recruit civil and military ministers openly. At that time, you can slowly accumulate the capital of Li Jiancheng.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't sit still.

Recruiting ten or eight Luo Shixin, for the Qin Palace, there is just one more general who can fight. The courage of one person is still somewhat useful in private competition, and the role it can play in the process of confrontation between the two armies is very limited. Even if you practice martial arts to the extreme, in the face of the charge of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, you can only escape in embarrassment.

The most important thing now is to fight for the right to attack Wang Shichong. Once Wang Shichong is defeated, he can build his own team.

"General Chen, this king still has some trivial matters, so don't bother in your mansion!"

Li Shimin said goodbye to Chen Ying, and Chen Yingzheng wished that Li Shimin would leave quickly. However, Chen Ying also did a solid job on the face, and repeatedly and sincerely retained it.

After Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the people of the Qin Wangfu left, Chen Ying, Luo Shixin, and Kan Ling's mood was not affected, and they still drank happily.

What Li Jiancheng discussed with Wei Zheng in the backyard, Chen Ying didn't know, and he was not interested in knowing. However, seeing that Wei Zheng was leaving with Li Jiancheng, his eyebrows flashed with joy that could not be concealed, Chen Ying naturally guessed that Wei Zheng's task should be completed well.

After Luo Shixin Kan Ling said goodbye to Chen Ying successively, Li Jiancheng did not leave immediately, but pulled Chen Yinggu left and right to talk about other things, and talked a lot, until Chen Ying's patience was almost exhausted, Li Jiancheng asked Chen Ying in a secretive way: "General Chen, what do you think of the Turks?" ”

"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!"

The words were out, and Chen Ying immediately regretted it. According to the "New Tang Dynasty Book Lineage Table", Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu has a brother named Qitou, a younger brother named Qidou, and the son of Li Qitou is named Damour, and the ancestor of Li Tang was called Li Chuguba in the Northern Wei Dynasty, in fact, Xianbei blood. Moreover, Li Shimin's biological mother Dou and Li Shimin's wife's eldest grandson Wujian are all Xianbei nobles.

However, Chen Ying's worries seemed to be superfluous, and Li Jiancheng didn't care whether Chen Ying's words were biased. Li Jiancheng nodded undeniably and said: "Yes, the ambition of the Turkic wolf, since the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have already violated the border three times. General Chen, is there any difficulty in supporting Lingzhou for a few days? ”

"Lingzhou?" Although Chen Ying didn't know where Lingzhou was, he knew that Lingzhou was in Ningxia in the later generations, and it was two thousand miles from Ningxia to Xi'an, and the mountain roads were rugged, even if it was a train, it would take more than ten hours, and in the Qinling Mountains, the train could not speed up.

"This ...... I don't know! Chen Ying stubbornly said: "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, there are more than 2,000 people along the way, and there are too many unpredictable factors." ”

"yes!" Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "Lingzhou is far away, and the roads are inconvenient, but the situation in Lingzhou is critical now, if there is no support, Lingzhou will be ruined?" But if you want to support Lingzhou, now that the road is closed by heavy snow, it is not easy. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is not impossible to support Lingzhou, if the supplies are abundant, the minister is sure to lead his troops to Lingzhou within a month!"

"Oh!" Li Jiancheng said excitedly: "Is there any way?" ”
