Chapter 152: My Home Field, I'm in Charge
Li Shimin has always been a big mountain in Chen Ying's heart. Although he killed his brother and killed his brother and imprisoned his father, he ruled the world with literature internally, humbly accepted advice, practiced strict economy, persuaded farmers to teach agriculture, so that the people could recuperate, the country and the people were safe, and created the famous rule of Zhenguan in Chinese history. Opened up the territory to the outside world, conquered the Eastern Turks and Xue Yantuo, conquered Gaochang, Qiuci, and Tuyuhun, severely damaged Goguryeo, and established four towns in Anxi.
Chen Ying is very afraid of being an enemy of Li Shimin, and has always been inseparable from him, because in his understanding, Fang Xuanling is wise and scheming, and he is unparalleled, and Du Ru is obscure and strategic, and he can defeat the Eastern Turks at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty and lay the foundation of Zhenguan's rule.
What's more, Qin Qiong's knowledge, Cheng Zhijie's bravery, Li Shimin's subordinates are like clouds, and good generals are like rain, which is simply a mountain that Chen Ying dare not resist.
However, at this time, Chen Ying didn't want to endure it. In history, because Li Xiuning died in the fourth year of Wude, he was not sandwiched between the crown prince and Li Shimin and prevented them from fighting. But now, Li Xiuning has very rudely disrupted Li Shimin's deployment, and even cleverly transferred the eldest grandson Wuji from Li Shimin's side, in Li Xiuning's view, this is the solution to the dispute between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's brothers, in fact, from Chen Ying's point of view, this is just adding fuel to the fire.
Although the eldest grandson Wuji is not as good as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Qin Cheng, Li Shimin rated him as the first hero of Lingyan Pavilion, and named him the Kaifu Yi and the Third Division, this is the pinnacle of Wenchen, not to mention that in history, the eldest grandson Wuji also achieved the prince and the prince, the captain, the school inspection of the Zhongshu order, the presiding over the Shangshu Province, and the Tongzhong Sect Pingzhang.
This is equivalent to handing over all the three provinces of Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province during the Zhenguan Dynasty to the eldest grandson Wuji, and this trust is probably rare in history.
But Li Xiuning transferred the eldest grandson Wuji away from Li Shimin, Chen Ying absolutely didn't believe that Li Shimin would swallow this breath, of course, with the eldest grandson Wuji's revenge and revenge temperament, I am afraid that the blows against Princess Pingyang will definitely appear one after another.
A strategist who even dared to meet the prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, not only killed the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qi Li Yuanji, the prince of Zhenguan Li Chengqian, the king of Wei Li Tai, the king of Qi Li You, the king of Wu Li Ke, and the king of Han Li Yuanchang, of course, among Li Shimin's fourteen sons, except for Li Zhi and the fourteenth son of Zhao Wang Li Fu, no one else got a good death, I have to say that the poison of the eldest grandson Wuji is rare in ancient times. A Pingyang princess Li Xiuning, he will definitely not be merciful.
Moreover, the political struggle is brutal and bloody. Chen Ying also had no reason to pin his safety on the mercy of the enemy.
However, Chen Ying's current position, without Li Yuan's holy decree, he could not return to Beijing. Chen Ying wrote to Li Yuan on the one hand, hoping to return to Beijing to visit his son, hoping that Li Yuan would be gracious.
At the same time, Chen Ying was also scouting the movements of Changsun Wuji.
Chen Ying would rather Li Shimin hate himself to death than kill the great scourge of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Chen Ying issued six orders in a row, the first was to order Menghuyi to follow the specific route from Chang'an to Xizhou from the secret reconnaissance chief Sun Wuji, and at the same time ordered Ashina Simo to select the dead soldiers from the servant army camp, Chen Ying would definitely not use his own personal guards to carry out the order, but needed to use the Turks who surrendered.
Even if he loses, he can't trace Chen Ying himself.
At the same time, the battalion secretly transferred a batch of fierce fire oil out of the warehouse, and burned it with fierce fire oil, and even a single bone could not be seen.
Just when Chen Ying aimed at the eldest grandson Wuji. The eldest grandson Wuji took two henchmen and quietly broke away from his brigade.
The imperial court appointed Changsun Wuji as the chief of the Western Regions, and also equipped him with thirteen Cao things, such as Cangcao, Si Cao, and Mincao, and together with the escort army, there were more than 500 people in the group.
The eldest grandson Wuji found that Lu Zhikun, who was appointed by the imperial court to join the army, was quite similar to him, with the same white face and fat body, the same Guanzhong accent, and a little dressed, he was not a particularly familiar person, so he couldn't tell the difference at all.
So the eldest grandson Wuji put Lu Zhikun, a fat man, on his own bus, and the food and accommodation were solved in his four-wheeled carriage, except for the occasional person who could take a look from afar, but looking at a red official uniform and wearing a national soft foot, there was no way to find out that this eldest grandson Wuji was actually a Xibei goods!
After leaving the brigade, Changsun Wuji bribed a team of Lite merchants and turned this small caravan, along with the servants and even the shopkeeper of the caravan, into the servants of Changsun Wuji for the price of five hundred gold. This small caravan of only twenty-five packs, carrying a full load of silk, tea and a dozen sets of down jackets, set foot on the Silk Road.
The yellow sand is rolling, and the place where it passes is desolate. On the westbound trade route, the biggest difficulty was not the lack of water, nor the exhaustion, but loneliness.
For more than ten days, he couldn't even see a figure, and the eldest grandson Huai'an, who was following the eldest grandson Wuji, said puzzledly: "Lang Jun, why are you so troubled?" ”
The small eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, like poisonous snakes, flashed with terrifying essence. He said lightly: "You don't understand, do you?" Follow the brigade to the Western Regions, do you think I can still die? ”
"Not really, right? There are more than 500 people, even if he has the courage to kill them all? The eldest grandson, Huai'an, thought that Chen Ying would not do this.
Eldest Sun Wuji sighed and said: "You don't know Chen Ying, if you do, you will find his horror, there seems to be nothing in this world that he doesn't dare to do." Xingyang Zheng is the most prestigious gate valve in the world, who would dare to be disrespectful to the Zheng family? ”
The eldest grandson Huai'an was silent when he heard this, Chen Ying robbed Zheng's daughter-in-law as his wife for his brother Luo Shixin, and the lawsuit went to the front of the emperor, Chen Ying refused to admit it, opened his eyes and said nonsense, he had never seen Cui Yingying at all, and now Cui Yingying's daughter is three months older than Chen Ying's son.
Ordinary people don't know, but the eldest grandson Wuji can't be clearer. In order to appease the anger of the Zheng family and the Cui family, Chen should pay a very large price, the agency of the down jacket Shandong, and the agency of the double-sided iron plough, Henan, Hedong, Shandong, and Hebei.
You must know that the income brought by the down jacket and the double-sided iron plough to the Cui family and the Zheng family is no less than 300,000 yuan per year. After getting the benefits they wanted, the Cui family and the Zheng family had nothing to say at all, and they even wanted to let the women in their clan send a few more.
How much can be done with the income of 30,000 yuan per Chinese New Year's Eve. Standing in the position of the eldest grandson Wuji, it is very clear that if the Qin Wangfu can get this benefit, there will be a lot of things that can be done. But Chen Ying was wrong for Luo Shixin.
In Chen Ying's eyes, things that can be solved with money are not called things at all. As for Cui Yingying's abandoned woman, even if her whole body is made of gold, it is not worth 300,000 guan, and it is 300,000 guan every Chinese New Year's Eve. But Chen Ying did it, and he did it very thoroughly.
Of course, this is not important, the important thing is that Chen Ying has money, and money can make ghosts grind, as long as Chen Ying wants his own head, the entire Chang'an, and even the whole world's rangers will be like a shark smelling blood, and they will move when they hear the wind.
As for how many people died, does it matter?
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't dare to pin his life on Chen Ying's soft heart, so he decided to leave the team for the sake of his own life, as long as he successfully arrived in front of Chen Ying, Chen Ying could only greet him with a smile even if he was unwilling.
There is a saying called self-made cleverness, Changsun Wuji's brigade is protected by a heavily armed archery infantry regiment, this archery infantry regiment has three hundred bows, one hundred crossbow machines, and a horizontal knife in each hand.
On the unobstructed Hexi Road, if you want to ambush such an army and use one or two thousand men and horses, it is absolutely impossible to be silent, not to mention that Chen Ying is not a bloodthirsty and murderous person, he really doesn't want to use more than 500 lives to bury with the eldest grandson Wuji alone.
If it is in the boundary of Liangzhou or Xizhou Road, something happens to Changshi's entourage, and Chen Ying can't escape the involvement.
Chen Ying's original plan was to give the eldest grandson Wuji a chronic poison in the team at any time, so that the eldest grandson Wuji would be poisoned and die slowly, so that he could be unaware.
However, the eldest grandson Wuji left the brigade alone and infiltrated a team of merchants, which undoubtedly helped Chen Ying a lot.
After a long march of more than 1,800 miles, the caravan finally arrived at Yiwu City, the easternmost part of the Western Regions. Since Igo Castle was one of the most important supply points on the trade routes, the first reaction of these caravans from the long and boring trade routes to the world was to eat and drink, and of course, to solve their physiological needs.
After entering Yiwu City, Changsun Wuji's caravan was immediately surrounded by the crowd, those Hu people with Tang Yan, red hair or green eyes, rushed to sell fruits and chickens and ducks to Changsun Wuji's caravan, so that Changsun Wuji's Tang people, who had already run a thousand miles on the wasteland, almost shed tears, and at that moment, he felt as if he had returned to the Tang Dynasty.
The eldest grandson Wuji entered Yiwu City and quickly found a good hotel and soaked in the soup pool comfortably. However, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly showed his feet.
The profits of long-distance merchants are very considerable, but the cost of these supply points along the way is not low, in Chang'an a penny a hu cake is sold for three yuan in Yiwu City, a Chang'an can spend ten yuan to enjoy bathing, back rubbing and massage services, in Yiwu City it costs a hundred yuan.
Usually caravans enter Iwu Castle and will only eat some hot food at the stalls, replenish water and dry food, and then hit the road. But the eldest grandson Wuji not only went to soak in the expensive soup pool, but also called a Qiuzi song and dance troupe at one time to sing and dance for him alone.
The eldest grandson Wuji's various incompatible performances soon entered the sight of those who have a heart.
The original leader of the caravan, the Rite merchant Mahim, was invited into the alley by two men in black, and before he could be punished, Mahim poured out 1510.
Mahim said with a smile: "It's not like a rich man from nowhere, he actually bought my caravan for five hundred gold, my God, even if I can't earn five hundred gold in three years, I am naturally willing to sell myself!" ”
The man in black asked, "Where did this man come from?" ”
Mahim said: "I don't know, vaguely seem to listen to what they say about the eldest grandson......"
The two men in black looked at each other in the air, pushed Mahim and said, "Take us to see this rich man!" ”
After the man in black secretly observed, the unsuspecting eldest grandson Wuji leaked his whereabouts in Yiwu City.
The man in black nodded and said, "It's certain, it's the goal!" ”
Another man in black said, "Then you continue to follow them, and I will send an eagle message and tell the Lord!" ”
The man in black said: "You don't need to tell the Lord, as long as the Lord has the target's head, many people can do this!" ”
"Oh!" The man in black smiled: "There are a lot of wandering Tubo warriors in Yiwu City, it is said that his leader was killed by a person called the king in red, no one supports them, they are now working as helpers in Yiwu City, but everyone doesn't like to use this kind of stupid Tubo people, now this group of Tubo people are living a miserable life, we should help them!" ”
It was very simple, and the wandering Tibetans heard the secret news that Mahim's caravan was carrying a large amount of silk, and it was said that there were also down jackets, which were bought at high prices.
A man's eyes are black, but gold is yellow!
A spontaneous team began to appear, and the eldest grandson Wuji, a smart man, had not yet perceived the danger coming!
The ignorance of the eldest grandson Wuji is that the Western Regions is Chen Ying's home field.
In his home turf, of course, everything is in his hands.
