"Xiaguan is reckless!" Yang respectfully saluted Chen Ying.

"The imperial court also has the difficulties of the imperial court!" Chen Ying said lightly: "Now in Chang'an, there are no armor soldiers in it, and the treasury is empty, so I really can't afford to fight!" ”

Yang let out a long sigh and was speechless for a long time. As the governor of Lingzhou, Lingzhou City has been trapped for more than three months, and there have been many casualties in the city. But he also understood that what Chen Ying said was very reasonable.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, Lingzhou is the northern border fortress of the Tang Dynasty (temporary), the transportation of grain and grass is very difficult, and ten stones of grain are transported from Chang'an, at least five or six stones need to be consumed on the road. There are four subordinate prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, mainly because no matter how many troops there are, the logistics and supplies of the imperial court cannot keep up.

However, the forces of the four lower prefectures, once the Turks counterattacked with all their might, could not reach it at all. The long-term confrontation must be a very big burden for Datang.

It was only at this time that Yang Ze paid attention to such a handsome and woman-like manager Chen, he had a very bad impression of Chen Ying, and always thought that Chen Ying could become a dignified four-grade martial artist, that was because of their identity and status. However, Chen Ying is in the age of a weak crown, and he can be quick and impatient, which is particularly rare.

If it is based on his own temperament, Chen Ying also wants to kill it quickly, but what about after killing? War has always been a continuation of politics, and once what is not available on the battlefield can be obtained at the negotiating table.

Now the Tang Dynasty can't afford to fight, in fact, the Turks can't fight either. If it weren't for the fact that since the beginning of the winter, Shibi Khan's health has not been as good as before, the Turks would definitely not be so restrained. I am afraid that as early as Liangshidu, at the end of October, he was unable to attack Lingzhou, Lingzhou entered the stage of stalemate, and the Turks directly threw off their arms and attacked fiercely, so Lingzhou had already changed hands.

Chen Ying pointed to Lingzhou City and said: "Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty for four years, Lingzhou County is placed here, it belongs to Beidi County, Lingzhou has a history of more than 800 years, the surrounding land is rich, the water and soil are abundant, if there is no war, it can raise hundreds of thousands of people, at present, Lingzhou is only 20,000 households, the garrison grain and grass can not be self-sufficient, and the imperial court may be difficult to help." ”

In the second year of Wude, the Central Plains Zhuolu between Datang and Wang Shichong is about to begin, that is, all the focus of Datang in the future will be moved to the hinterland of the Central Plains. For remote Lingzhou, the importance is less than one-tenth that of Luoyang.

Yang Ze let out a long sigh and said: "The livelihood of Lingzhou is quite difficult, men, women and children all work hard, everyone is simple, but there is no greed for life and pleasure, but if you fight together, a year of hard work will be in vain." ”

"So, these captives are very wanted!" Chen Yingdao: "These are all hostages, and they are all meat tickets, as long as they dare to come to Lingzhou City, the chief will tear up the tickets!" ”

Yang looked at Chen Ying in surprise. I secretly thought in my heart, the dignified court loyal general, it wouldn't be a bandit who recruited An, right? How do you talk like a bandit?

Yang Ze definitely didn't know that Chen Ying could not only say it, but also do it.

In the end, Luo Shixin and Yu Guni followed the Turkic rout to cover more than 30 miles, until the horsepower was exhausted, and then they withdrew their troops and stopped fighting. After a rough count, the battle was fruitful, with more than 7,000 beheadings and more than 12,000 prisoners. However, not many other materials were captured, nearly 30,000 war horses were harvested, and there were also a lot of blades and armor.

What surprised Chen Ying the most was that Luo Shixin actually caught the Turkic Yi Bu Zhenmo.

Chen Ying really didn't know that Yi Bu Zhenmo was one of the four major leaf protectors of the Eastern Turkic Khanate.

Seeing that Chen Ying didn't pay any attention to Yi Bei Zhenmo, Yu Guni immediately stepped forward and said, "So that the chief manager knows that this person is one of the four major leaf protectors of the Turkic Khanate!" ”

Du Shanguo told Chen Ying what Yu Guni said, but Chen Ying still didn't react.

Yang was overjoyed.

"Just a captive, are you concerned?" Chen Ying saw that everyone was overjoyed, and smiled disapprerovitously: "It's really rare and weird!" ”

Yang Zedao: "Manager Chen, do you know something, this Turkic Ye Hu is Ye Hu Khan, whose status is second only to Khan, if it is converted into the official system of our Tang Dynasty, this Ye Hu Khan, who is quite the identity of the prince of the East Palace, can inherit the position of Khan!" ”

"I hold it! So awesome! Chen Ying secretly thought in his heart that he had made a lot of money now.

……

Huaiyuan, Turkic Khan. It was not until the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in the first year of Wude that Shibi Khan finally got the news that Ashina Yi Bezhen Moye Hu Khan was defeated and captured. As the saying goes, good people don't pay for their lives, and disasters live for thousands of years. Seeing that he escaped the fastest, and with the desperate protection of Bu Lugen by his side, he finally escaped from Luo Shixin's pursuit.

When they arrived at Boar Ridge, they set up a cage remnant. Originally, Yi Buzhen Mo commanded more than 17,000 people who controlled the strings, plus nearly 10,000 Tuolo cavalry, a total of more than 26,000 people. With the addition of the people of the headquarters of the Liver, only more than 10,000 people returned to the Boar Ridge.

Tong Lifushe's eating appearance was very ugly, and he gathered all the defeated soldiers, asked one by one, and those who descended and rebelled died, and in just one night, he ate all the troops under the command of Yi Bezhenmo, and there was nothing left.

In the process of reporting to Shibi Khan, the battle of Lingzhou in the first year of Wude became Yi Bezhen Mo underestimated the enemy, insisted on going his own way, did not listen to his loyal advice to Lifushe, and was attacked by the Tang army.

If he hadn't rushed in time and desperately blocked the pursuit of the Tang army, I am afraid that none of the more than 26,000 people under the Mo Department would have been able to run back.

Speaking of this, he burst into tears, seeing that he was covered in blood and barely had any good meat, Shibi Khan was furious: "Yi Don't really be afraid of the enemy, his crime should be punished, the whole family is assigned to slavery, and his subordinates are under the command of Lifushe." ”

With the official decision of Shibi Khan, this time in the battle of Lingzhou, the Turkic four major leaf protectors, who have now become one of the three major leaf protectors, not only embezzled more than 5,000 soldiers of Yi Bezhen Mo, but also obtained more than 16,000 subordinates of Yi Bezhen Mo, and Tong Lifusheh turned into a change, and actually had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and more than 16,000 subordinates.

Liversh actually became a winner.

At this time, Shibi Khan had already sent people to Chang'an to ask Li Yuan whether he wanted to trigger a national war between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, but now it seems that the Tang Dynasty was not afraid of a war with the Turks.

Could it be that the Tang Dynasty is so strong that it is not afraid of the Turks?

Datang has such a powerful force? The four major Ye Protectors of the Turks, the two Great Ye Protectors have been defeated one after another, do they have to let his 30,000 attached troops go into battle in person to have a turnaround?

Originally, I thought that the Tang Dynasty was at the beginning of its establishment, but the people's hearts were unstable and the financial resources were scarce.

Could it be that after the Great Sui, the Tang Dynasty re-emerged?

Shibi Khan thinks about it and feels that it is possible, in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Turks repeatedly went south to Koubian, and Yang Jian, who was the general of the Prime Minister Zhuzhong, was also tired of coping, but who would have thought that just a few years later, Yang Jian usurped the throne and established the Sui Dynasty, and went south to destroy the Chen State in one fell swoop, unify the world, and attack the Turks in the north.

As one of the most powerful traditional powers in the world, it is only natural that China will take a few years to restore its national strength and re-emerge.

"Now we can't act rashly, we have to re-plan for Datang."
