Chen Ying led the Dingyuan Army Sixth Zhichong Mansion and the Lingwu Army Six Zhichong Mansions, a total of more than 11,000 soldiers, with the help of more than 600 people, transporting a month's supplies along the Yellow River valley, slowly down the river.

For the Turkic Ashid Jie Lifa in Huaiyuan City, Chen Ying did not attack impatiently, in fact, Chen Ying hated attacking the city, and all of his subordinates were now cavalry, dismounted and fought on foot, using precious cavalry to attack the city, that is what a fool would do.

Chen Ying deliberately did not hide his whereabouts, the purpose was to lure Ashdejie Lifa to lead his troops out of the city to block. However, it was very unexpected by Chen Ying, since going south, only a small number of Turkic cavalry were being watched from afar, as long as Chen Ying sent the Lingwu army cavalry to drive them away, they would definitely not engage in battle, and would turn around and run.

I walked slowly along the river valley for two hours, only walked more than 80 miles, and arrived at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Hengqiang Canal in the south of Huaiyuan, which made people cry. At noon, Chen Ying ordered the pot to be buried and cooked.

When the smoke rises and the rice in the pot is not yet boiled. Chen Ying, who was in the Chinese army, received a report from Chen Jinyong.

"What? You say Huaiyuan City is empty? When Chen Ying received the news, he almost choked on his own saliva. Chen Ying asked incredulously, "How is this possible?" Aren't the Turks very brave? Now we are going to rob their sheep, shouldn't they, men, women, and children fight with us? ”

Chen Jinyong (Yiskar) was not embarrassed at all because he was a Turk, but said very seriously: "The more courageous, the faster they die, and the Turks are also very smart, they find that the enemy is stronger than them, and when they can't beat them, they will run away like foxes and rabbits." ”

Chen Ying couldn't wait for the war meal to be ready, and hurriedly took the personal guard cavalry and Xu Jingzong, Ashina Simo, Yu Guni and others to rush towards Huaiyuan City. The intersection of Hengqiang Canal and the Yellow River, only more than ten miles away from Huaiyuan City, is only two pillars of incense for the war horse galloping at full speed.

At this time, the gate of Huaiyuan City was wide open, and there was no trace of human beings.

Ashina Simo jumped off the war horse, took three steps and made two steps, picked up a piece of horse manure at the gate of the city without care, and pinched it gently, the horse manure was broken, Ashina Simo looked at the color of the horse manure, and said chiselingly: "Master, judging from the time of this piece of horse manure, it should be three hours ago!" ”

"Three hours ago?" Chen Ying said lightly: "So it wasn't dawn when Ashide ran away?" ”

Ashnasimo nodded and said, "It should be like this!" ”

Yu Guni said indignantly: "Astrid Jie Lifa belongs to rabbits, and he runs quite fast......

Chen said to Xu Jingzong: "Write a letter to the Lingzhou Assassin History, and let him take over Huaiyuan City!" ”

Without spending a single soldier, recover Huaiyuan City. Chen Ying didn't have anything to be happy about, Taizu said that if you hurt the enemy's ten fingers, it is better to cut off one of his fingers. All victories before the annihilation of the enemy's living force are actually flowers in the mirror.

Chen Ying thought about it and was immediately relieved. He built a sheepskin raft with great vigour, mobilized the army, prepared food and grass, and made the final preparations before the expedition, and such things could not be concealed at all.

If Ashid Jie Lifa, who stayed in Huaiyuan City, didn't know, then there would be ghosts. When Ashid Jie Lifa learned that Chen Ying was preparing grain and grass and building a sheepskin raft on a large scale, he immediately made a judgment that Datang was ready to use troops against Huaiyuan.

If there is no Turkic army to cooperate with Liu Wuzhou to attack and merge the state, he can sit back and relax in Huaiyuan City, and Chen Ying will not dare to tear his face, at most grab some sheep and horses to go back. However, this is no longer the case. Hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops marched south and poured into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and if Chen Ying did not make any moves in Lingzhou, he, the governor of the Tang Dynasty, would definitely be incompetent.

Ashide Jie Lifa was very self-aware that the thin bone law city defended by Tong Lifu could not stop Chen Ying, although Chen Ying only had more than 4,000 troops in his hands at that time, and the strength of Tong Lifu was more than four times that of Chen Ying. At this time, the army he can use can surpass Chen Ying, and there is no way to keep Huaiyuan alive.

After thinking about it, Asted Jie Lifa decided to run, run quickly.

Asdejie's escape without a fight is both reasonable and unexpected.

In the original plan, Chen Ying went north with all the troops of the Lingwu Army and the Sixth Zhichong Mansion of the Dingyuan Army, a total of seven Zhichong Mansions. However, after discovering that Liu Tong turned out to be a good staff officer. Chen Ying immediately adjusted the deployment and ordered Liu Tong to be the counselor of military affairs as the marching Sima.

Liu Tong looked at the empty Huaiyuan, and whispered to Chen Ying: "Chief, now we can't hide our whereabouts, so we planned to ...... before."

Chen Yingdao: "The order is changed every day, but it is a taboo for soldiers!" ”

Liu Tong said worriedly: "However, now we can't be surprised, the surprise attack will become a strong attack, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve results!" ”

Chen Ying looked at Ashina Simo, Chen Jinyong, Yu Guni and others beside him and said, "You think so too!" ”

Xu Jingzong nodded thoughtfully and said, "Not bad!" ”

Although Ashina Simo did not speak, he also looked deeply convinced.

Chen Ying smiled leisurely, pointed at Liu Tong and said, "You are wrong, you are all wrong!" ”

"Wrong?"

Everyone was stunned.

Chen Ying continued: "We are not here to rob the Turks! ”

When Xu Jingzong heard this, he had already labeled Chen Ying in his heart - shameless.

Chen Ying said with a solemn face: "Our Huaxia is the etiquette of Bangren, my Tang Dynasty is also a big country of etiquette, we Huaxia people are all gentlemen, benevolence and righteousness are full of benevolence and love, we see ordinary Turkic people being oppressed and exploited by their tribal leaders, shouldn't we lend a helping hand?" Deliver them from fire and water? ”

Chen Ying's words simply refreshed Xu Jingzong's psychological bottom line, and he finally understands now. Why is he obviously more talented than Chen Ying, but he has always been unsatisfactory. Now he knew the answer, because he was far less shameless than Chen Ying.

Liu Tong very much agreed with Chen Ying's point of view, and nodded thoughtfully: "What Manager Chen said is extremely ......."

Chen Ying said with emotion: "Those ordinary Turks are really miserable, they work more than cattle, eat worse than pigs, sleep later than dogs, and get up earlier than chickens...... Giving birth to a beautiful daughter, you must give the nobles and chiefs a warm bed, and they spoil it, can we be indifferent when we see this scene? ”

"Can't!" Chen Ying's voice suddenly raised an octave, and he shouted: "So we have to help them and rescue them......"

In fact, what Chen Ying thought in his heart was: "Sample, play with Lao Tzu to clear the wilderness, lure the enemy deep into this set, Lao Tzu will cripple your entire Turkic." ”

The essence of fighting to nourish war is to grab if you can, and run if you can't. Chen Ying naturally knows that all nomads adopt the slave system, and the exploitation of the ordinary people of their tribe is very harsh, as the so-called where there is oppression, there will be resistance, Chen Ying does not mind bringing the light of civilization to the Turks.

Let them repay the taste of turning into serfs and becoming masters of their own households.
