Chapter 61 Li Jing, General Li Chen, had no choice but to be sorry

In the main hall of the Provincial Government Hall, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wushi Tong reported to Yang Gongren and other ministers of the political hall.

Wu Shi Tong coughed and said: "Over the years, all the furs purchased from the grassland have been used, and this time the Ministry of Industry has rushed to raise a total of 180,000 leather clothes, and there are 80,000 pieces...... Blankets for horses to keep out the cold. The Ministry of Industry can be regarded as bankrupt this time. ”

Wei Zheng suddenly asked: "Do all the war horses on this expedition have felt?" ”

Wu Shi Tong nodded and said: "In addition, the Ministry of Industry also collected the cotton sent by Anzai, and rushed to make a total of 180,000 pairs of cotton pants and 250,000 sets of cotton coats......"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Xuancheng, it seems that the most difficult period of Datang has finally passed, with this heavy snowfall, Datang in the second year of Kaiyuan will be a bumper year." ”

At this moment, Li Anyan strode into the political hall and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has set up a large camp in Beiyuan and summoned all the ministers to discuss matters. ”

Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, Gao Shilian and others did not dare to slack off, so they quickly got up and followed Li Anyan to Beiyuan.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the north garden of Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng was wearing armor all over his body and stood in front of the map.

Li Jing, Xue Wanche, Qin Qiong, Feng Li, Wei Chi Jingde, etc., a group of senior generals of the Tang Army, had already sat down on both sides.

Xiangguo walked into the Chinese army camp.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng covered in clothes, and suddenly frowned.

Li Jiancheng was full of interest and beckoned everyone to take a seat.

After everyone sat down, Li Jiancheng said with great interest: "Ladies and gentlemen, the strategy for this expedition to Mobei has been determined. Six routes sent troops, the Daling River to the northwest outflanking, called a feint, with the elite of the Anton army as the mainstay, if the Eastern Turks did not react in time, or slow, then change the feint into an offensive. ”

"The second road is out of Hedong, with Li Jing as the main attack. The main attacking troops fought fast and slowly, so as to break through Jieli's tent with a thunderous blow, so that the Turkic tribes would lose a unified command structure, and then the camera would break the enemy army individually. ”

"The third road is dominated by the Lingzhou army, attacking to the north, attacking Yinshan from west to east, with Qin Qiong as the main commander."

"The fourth road, dominated by the Liangzhou army, crossed Heishui from Gan and Su, and attacked north. This attack is a feint, be sure to leave elite troops to defend Liangzhou, and avoid the Tubo people from taking advantage of the weakness! ”

"The fifth is dominated by the Anxi Army, taking on the task of attacking Mobei, along Jinshan, all the way to the west, and directly smashing Longting."

"The sixth road, with the Twelve Guards Army as the mainstay, serves as the general strategic reserve, whichever way needs support, the Twelve Guards Army will rush to the aid of any one of them in the shortest possible time......"

The generals excitedly exchanged glances with each other.

Li Jiancheng continued: "The decisive battle between the two countries will be in Dingxiang - the Turks will inevitably drive cattle and sheep and go south to forage here......

Fang Xuanling suddenly got up and interrupted Li Jiancheng's speech.

Fang Xuanling said: "Why did Your Majesty wear armor and hold this court meeting in the barracks?" Does Your Majesty want to govern the country by means of war? ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, thinking for a long time, but he didn't know how to answer.

The people in the big tent had different expressions.

After a while, Li Jiancheng took off his helmet awkwardly and threw it aside, looking displeased.

The generals watched the prime ministers, boarded the car and walked away.

Fang Xuanling walked by the crowd.

Niu Junda couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Qiong stabbed Niu Junda.

Niu Junda's eyes glared and said: "Fang is really an old man who joins the army, and he won't say anything happy at any time!" ”

Qin Qiong tugged at Niu Junda's sleeve.

Fang Xuanling didn't hear it, and went straight to the car and left.

Wei Zheng looked at it, left and right, turned around and walked into the Chinese army's big tent.

The big tent of the Chinese army was empty, and Li Jiancheng was still sitting in front of the map, not saying a word.

Wei Zheng walked up to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Xuanling has always had this temper, Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry about it." ”

Li Jiancheng laughed and stood up and said, "How could I be angry with him? If it weren't for Fang Xuanling in the past few years, how could Datang recover in such a short period of time? How can I have a chance to conquer the Turks in person? I can't thank Fang Xuanling too late, how can I blame him for such a little unpleasantness? ”

Wei Zheng was relieved.

The next day, early in the morning, in the hall of Xiande.

Li Jiancheng sat on the Danqi with high spirits and ambition.

The ministers go to the temple.

After the ministers finished saluting, Li Jiancheng waved his hand impatiently and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday in the Beiyuan camp, I have already set a strategy for the Northern Expedition with all the Xiangguo and the generals in the army. Today's ascension to the dynasty, please Aiqing, discuss the preparation of the Northern Expedition. I have a preliminary plan, let's take it out first, and let's discuss it. ”

Fang Xuanling stood in the train and looked at Li Jiancheng coldly.

Li Jiancheng continued unconsciously: "Shangshu's right servant shot Wei Zheng, led the northern expedition to Taiwan, and specialized in the supply of grain and straw for the army; The Ministry of Civil Affairs of Shangshu Province, the court officials below the Shangshu Department, the court officials below the Shilang of the Military Department, the provincial staff of the Zhongshu Province, and the Provincial Affairs of the Menxia Province are all on duty in Xingtai, and all the people, money, food, and materials needed by the Northern Expedition Army are submitted from the Ministry of War to the judgment of the five flowers of the three provinces, and then handed over to the Minister of Supervision to prepare the edict ......"

Without waiting for Li Jiancheng to finish speaking, Fang Xuanling interrupted Li Jiancheng's words and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the Northern Expedition strategy, the minister has a book. ”

Li Jiancheng smiled, and Wen Yan asked, "Xuan Ling, please speak." ”

Fang Xuanling said: "The minister recommended Li Jing as the general manager of the Dingxiang Road march, with Li Xiaogong as the deputy commander, and the northern expedition to the Turks.

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, then got up angrily and walked away with his sleeves.

The ministers in the palace looked at each other.

Fang Xuanling looked at the emperor's angry back, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth was even worse.

Li Jiancheng walked up to Fang Xuanling, stared at him intently, and said, "I want to conquer Mobei in person." ”

Fang Xuanling said without being arrogant or humble: "Don't even dream about it!" ”

Li Jiancheng finally couldn't hold back his anger, jumped to his feet and shouted: "I myself am the best general!" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded.

Li Jiancheng pointed at Fang Xuanling and shouted: "The defeat of the shallow water plateau in the first year of Wude, who cleaned up the mess?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "It's Your Majesty!" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "When Luoyang fought against Wang Shichong, who was the power of Wang Langlan?" It's me, and Dou Jiande, if it weren't for me sending people to say that the clan gate lords in the thirty-nine states of Hebei would collectively defect, how could Dou Jiande surrender easily? ”

Fang Xuanling looked directly at Li Jiancheng without flinching: "But you are the worst emperor!" ”

Li Jiancheng's head was exposed, and he roared loudly: "Don't think that if you have an appointment with me, you can do whatever you want, and if you anger me, I can still kill you."

Fang Xuanling spread his hands and said, "That's why I said, you are the worst emperor!" ”

Li Jiancheng was so angry that his muscles bulged, and he pointed at Fang Xuanling and was speechless for a long time.

Li Jiancheng was so angry that he threw down the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and turned around to leave the Xiande Palace.

However, Fang Xuanling was unrelenting and followed Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng rushed into the imperial study, and Fang Xuanling also entered.

Entering the imperial study, Li Jiancheng angrily threw things around.

Fang Xuanling did not show weakness, rolled up his arms, rolled up his sleeves, and smashed things with him, and picked out valuable objects.

Li Jiancheng was stunned to see that Wei Zheng was playing the idea of a precious screen, so he had to stop and drag Fang Xuanling to the corner.

Li Jiancheng pointed to the screen and said angrily: "Do you know who used that screen?" ”

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng innocently and said, "I don't know. ”

Li Jiancheng was breathless, gasped for breath, and then glared and said, "King Lanling!" ”

Under the door of the imperial study, Li Anyan suddenly pulled Wei Zheng and said: "Wei Xiangguo, you go in and persuade Your Majesty, Your Majesty is furious inside." ”

Wei Zheng looked at the movement in the imperial study room, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "If Fang Xuanling can't persuade His Majesty, it's useless for anyone to go, unless General Chen is here!" ”

Of course, Wei Zheng's words were actually insincere.

He and Fang Xuanling were angry in advance, and they resolutely could not agree to Li Jiancheng taking command of the expedition.

Li Jiancheng, like Li Shimin, is both civil and military. In fact, Li Jiancheng's use of soldiers, like others, is extremely restrained, seemingly gentle, not as fast as Li Shimin's illness as fast as the wind, and Li Shimin likes to take risks very much. Don't look at Li Jiancheng's use of soldiers, he was gentle, this is the most fatal.

During the Battle of Shallow Water Plateau, Li Shimin won a small victory in the first battle.

Li Jiancheng seized the opportunity to take advantage of the internal discord in Western Qin, divided its monarchs and ministers, and expanded the internal contradictions in Western Qin, so that Xue Rengao had no choice but to surrender. The battle of Hebei is exactly like this, don't look at Dou Jiande pressing Li Jiancheng to fight, but Li Jiancheng sent Wei Zheng to unite the Hebei clan and the Shandong clan, and promised to make heavy profits, and directly let all the 39 prefectures and counties in Hebei defect.

Dou Jiande, who became a loner, had to surrender.

As the so-called good fighters have no outstanding military exploits, historically, Li Jiancheng was responsible for the defense of the north, and the Eastern Turks could not advance an inch. On the contrary, as soon as Li Shimin recaptured, Jieli Khan led 200,000 soldiers and horses to the city of Chang'an.

In the imperial study, Fang Xuanling tied his hands and squinted at the screen, looking serious in the masterpiece.

Li Jiancheng shook his head helplessly and sighed, and asked Fang Xuanling with a sad face: "Fang Xuanling, am I so untrustworthy in military affairs?" ”

Fang Xuanling still looked at the screen, and said lightly: "It's not a matter of trust...... This screen, I think it's average! ”

Li Jiancheng almost shuddered and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Fang Xuanling leaned closer to the screen again, and said as if he was looking more seriously: "Li Jing is in charge, and His Majesty will grant him the title of Bai Jing and Huang Yue, and appoint him to lead the army; However, Your Majesty is handsome, and who will award Your Majesty Bai Jing Huang Yue? And by whom, come to worship Your Majesty as a marshal? ”

Fang Xuanling turned his head suddenly, stared at Li Jiancheng, and said with an inquiring expression: "Do you want to invite the Emperor Taishang out of the Manna Hall again?" ”

Fang Xuanling spread his hands and pretended to be innocent: "If this is the case, the minister has nothing to say." ”

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth and sat on the ground in anger.

Li Jiancheng asked unwillingly: "In all fairness, is it stronger for me to be in command of the Northern Expedition, or is Li Jing stronger?" ”

Fang Xuanling smiled: "What is the purpose of Your Majesty's question?" ”

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth and said nothing.

Fang Xuanling said: "If Your Majesty thinks that you are stronger militarily, you have to take command of the army yourself, then Your Majesty should give up the position of Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition to Chen Ying!" ”

Li Jiancheng was speechless.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty is stronger than Chen Ying?" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Strong ...... Be a little stronger! ”

Fang Xuanling said: "With the rate of the right guard of the East Palace, with only 4,800 soldiers from the four prefectures, can Your Majesty defeat the hundreds of thousands of elites under the command of the Turkic Shibi Khan?" ”

Li Jiancheng was speechless.

Fang Xuanling said again: "Your Majesty with 30,000 soldiers and horses, can you win against the 200,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the Western Turkic Emperor Yehu Khan?" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "I can't!" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Why didn't Your Majesty appoint Chen Ying as the commander?" ”

Without waiting for Li Jiancheng to finish speaking, Fang Xuanling continued: "In this world, it is not that whoever is suitable for what must do something, minister, I think that I am stronger than Your Majesty in governing the country, Your Majesty, the emperor, can I change my ministers?" ”

Li Jiancheng pouted disdainfully and said, "I will give it to you, do you dare to do it?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "If you dare to give, I will dare to do it." ”

Li Jiancheng is angry.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help laughing, and said with a tense face: "Either for the Son of Heaven or for the General, Your Majesty can only choose one of them, if Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, please sit in Beijing and order Li Jing to go north; If Your Majesty is a general, please return the treasure to the Emperor! ”。

Li Jiancheng stared at Fang Xuanling for a long time, and said viciously: "I won't pay it back!" ”

……

Dominate the city, the cold wind is cold.

Chen Ying ignored the cold wind and insisted on standing on the city pass and looking north.

Chen Ying was actually thinking, what would he wait for?

Twelve gold medals?

Or is it a holy decree?

However, news from the imperial court has not arrived for a long time.

Just when Chen Ying felt that he was about to freeze, suddenly a group of cavalry braved the cold and came from the north to the south.

The distance is too far, and Chen Ying can't really see it.

It didn't take long, and the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer.

Chen Ying turned to follow the prestige, only to see Ashina Simo, leading a group of Turkic cavalry, coming slowly.

This is the Lingwu Army formed by Chen Ying when he became the governor of Lingzhou.

It is mainly Turkic troops, but since the rebellion of Yu Shot, this army has been secretly controlled by Shan Xiongxin, who is known as Chen Tong.

Seeing Ashina Simo turn his eyebrows white, Chen Ying asked, "Go in and warm up!" ”

As he spoke, Chen Ying walked to the enemy tower on the city wall.

During this period of time, Tongwancheng, as one of the northern barriers of the Tang Dynasty, assumed the northern barrier. In order to alleviate the hardships of the soldiers, Chen Ying ordered the craftsmen to renovate the Tongwan City, especially the enemy tower.

All of them were built with a wall of fire inside, and a kang was built in the barracks.

When I entered the enemy building, the temperature inside exceeded 25 degrees, and I didn't feel cold at all.

Chen Ying asked people to bring braziers to Ashina Simo and a group of soldiers and let them roast the fire.

Ashnasimo took off his boots and roasted on the brazier.

A stench comparable to the level of biological and chemical weapons permeated, and Chen Ying hurriedly walked to the ventilated position at the door.

Ashina Simo said embarrassedly: "General, Jieli led the Turks south!" ”

"What?" Chen Ying asked in surprise: "At this time, when he went south, he was too long?" ”

"That's right!" Ashina Simo said: "It is said that the north has encountered a rare white plague, and if you don't move south, the Eastern Turks will be frozen to death, according to reliable sources, Jieli led 350,000 horses and moved south to Dingxiang!" ”

"Dingxiang?"

When Chen Ying heard this name, his mind involuntarily appeared, "Li Jing's 3,000 cavalry attacked Dingxiang at night, and Su Dingfang's 200 cavalry attacked Jieli's tooth tent......"

History seems to be back on track.

Ashnasimo continued: "Migrating from Mobei, the Turks have 560,000 horses, and now there are only about 350,000 people left, and the others have died on the way to migrate. ”

Chen Ying's heart moved.

Tongwancheng is only more than 1,000 miles away from Dingxiang.

According to the speed of Chen Ying's subordinates, it is entirely possible to arrive in Dingxiang within three days and three nights.

Chen Ying turned to look in the direction of Chang'an, he didn't want to steal the limelight from Li Jing, he wanted to fulfill Li Jing's prestige, and gave him the position of generalissimo of the Northern Expedition.

But at present, Jieli has been displaced from the far north of the desert.

Not only is morale low, but people are sleepy. And exhausted, ten percent of the combat effectiveness, I'm afraid I can't play three percent.

As long as the strange soldiers appear under the city of Dingxiang, the Eastern Turks will collectively herd sheep.

Chen Ying muttered: "General Li Jing Li, Chen has to be sorry!" ”
