Chapter 45 Swallowing the Rivers and Mountains of the Western Regions (Second Watch)

Waiting is the most painful thing, and while Li Yuan was waiting for Chen Ying to arrive, he looked at the three sons sitting in the lower road from time to time. Looking at Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan felt the most jealous.

But when I saw Li Shimin, there was a deep disappointment in my eyes. Although Li Yuan's disappointment was only fleeting. But it was captured by the keen Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, he wanted to cry now aggrieved.

Without comparison, there is no harm. Compared with Chen Ying, it seems that he is even more incompetent. The Battle of Luoyang was Chen Ying's two or three times to break the siege, and Chen Ying was like a firefighting captain, turning the tide again and again......

Li Shimin really wanted to lead his troops to fight the Turks, not because of the dispute with Li Jiancheng. It's just that Li Shimin's love and enthusiasm have been met with a cold reception.

Li Jiancheng disagreed, Xiao Yu disagreed, and Li Yuan also disagreed.

This made Li Shimin feel a little cryless without tears.

Finally, when the patience of the ministers was about to run out, Chen Ying finally came.

Chen Ying originally thought that Li Yuan was just summoning him alone, worried about Li Xiuning's body, but he didn't expect that there were more than a dozen ministers sitting densely in the Liangyi Palace, and they were all ministerial-level bosses.

Chen Ying bowed to Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng and said, "Minister Chen Ying, meet His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince......

Li Yuan originally looked relieved, but looking at Chen Ying's pale face, swollen eyes, and vain steps, Li Yuan didn't know that Chen Ying was overindulgent! Li Yuan hated iron and said: "Young people must quit greed and love their bodies!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Yingke was really embarrassed! Last night, there were seven degrees in one night, and now Chen Ying's legs are floating, Chen Ying lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty Xie cares, and the minister will definitely pay attention to his body." ”

Li Yuan looked at Chen Ying, his tone softened, Li Yuan introduced Liangzhou to Chen Ying about the siege of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses by the Western Turks, and then said: "Chen Qing, for the siege of Liangzhou, the ministers have different opinions, some people suggest reinforcing Liangzhou, and some people are worried that Jieli Khan will pour troops south, what advice does Chen Qing have?" ”

Chen Ying's head turned sharply, in his memory, in the original historical time and space, the Western Turks did not attack the Tang Dynasty until their demise. But now, Chen Ying can't be sure.

After all, history has changed beyond recognition.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Ministers, Chen Ying wants to ask you a question, if there are ten birds in the tree and an arrow shoots over, how many are there?" ”

"What?"

The ministers were confused. Even Li Yuan felt that Chen Ying was not in a normal mind, all the ministers present were the best among people, although most of them were not proficient in arithmetic, but the fool also knew that if ten birds shot an arrow, there should be nine more.

Li Yuan was about to open his mouth to say this, and suddenly realized that the question Chen Ying asked should not be so superficial.

Just when the ministers looked at Chen Ying with tears and laughter, Li Yuanji suddenly said: "The third brother-in-law's question is not up to the standard, and the children know that there are still nine ......."

"That's not right!" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi is wrong! ”

"What!" Li Yuanji's eyes widened: "How could the Lone King be wrong, ten birds shoot down one, isn't there still nine birds?" ”

Chen Ying smiled faintly and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi still don't believe it, if an arrow is shot over, no matter how many birds there are on the tree, after the string sounds, the birds will fly away in fright!" ”

"Fly!" Li Yuan suddenly realized. In fact, the answer in his heart is the same as Li Yuanji. Fortunately, he didn't open his mouth just now, otherwise it would have been a big shame.

Li Jiancheng asked suspiciously: "What does Chen Qing mean that the siege of Liangzhou must be helped, and it must be supported at all costs?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise"! Chen Ying sent a sycophant at the right time. Chen Ying turned to look at the ministers and explained: "This is God bless the Tang Dynasty, and the ministers congratulate Your Majesty!" ”

Pei Lin looked at Chen Ying like a fool, and said puzzledly: "Is Chen Yuma hysterical?" Liangzhou is surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Western Turks, and the city of Liangzhou is in danger, once the city of Liangzhou falls, then millions of people in the 19 prefectures of Hexi may be slaughtered, how can this be the Tang Dynasty? ”

Chen Yingdao: "What Pei Xiangguo said is extremely true, the current situation in Hexi, success or failure, life and death are only between the first line!" This is a crisis for Datang, and it is also an opportunity for us Datang! ”

Li Jiancheng's eyes narrowed, a bit like the arc of a fox, his brain was running rapidly, and gradually an idea slowly arose in Li Jiancheng's head.

Chen Ying walked to the front of the Liangyi Palace, in front of the huge map, slammed his fist on the position of Gaochang City in the Western Regions, and said loudly: "Originally, the Western Turks submitted to the Tang Dynasty, and we, the Tang Dynasty, as the superior state of the Celestial Empire, have no reason to invade the territory of the vassal state, but at this time, the Western Turks have given us this opportunity. Our Datang Dynasty has established the country with force, and since His Majesty raised the army, it has always been an attack, an attack, and an attack! From Taiyuan all the way south, His Majesty laid down the land of Hedong, Princess Pingyang attacked Guanzhong, and then, the Western Qin Xue clan attacked the Tang Dynasty, our Tang Dynasty all the way from Jingyang, to today's Dunhuang, dominating the 19 states of Hexi, Liu Wuzhou attacked Taiyuan, we went all the way to the north, occupied today's Heshuo, Wang Shichong invaded my Tang Huaizhou, we Datang all the way to conquer the entire Central Plains, Dou Jiande invaded my Tang Xiangzhou, now the land of 39 states in Hebei, all belong to the Tang Dynasty. Now, the Western Turks are from the west of Yangguan to the West Sea, and the vast area of 12,000 miles from east to west is all in my Tang bag! ”

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "In Chen Yuma's words, if the Tang Dynasty is in the west at this moment, will it make Hetao, Hedong, and Hebei become scorched earth?" ”

If it was right with Li Jiancheng and the others, Chen Ying would immediately reply at this moment that of course, he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf. However, in front of the Manchu Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Chen Ying would not say this, because once he said so, it would mean that this strategic plan would be completely vetoed.

The land of the Western Regions, for the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty court, is also said to be a land of chicken ribs. However, Chen Ying knows that the Western Regions is a treasure land of feng shui, but it is no exaggeration to say that if the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty can be preserved to this day, including today's Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, Iran, and Afghanistan, all belong to China, only oil and gas resources, China will be the world's richest resource-rich country, and I am afraid that the common people will use oil more cheaply than water.

It's a pity that the territory that the ancestors fought down did not hold on to the descendants.

Chen Ying in the future generations, every time he saw this scene, his heart hurt. He had been to the Western Regions and knew that the Western Regions was definitely not a barren land, and he also knew that the grain output in Xinjiang alone was as high as 14.53 million tons. Moreover, after thousands of years of ecological environment evolution, the ecological environment in Xinjiang has actually been seriously damaged. In fact, this problem can be seen from many place names in Xinjiang.

For example, the second largest desert in the country, the Gurbantunggut Desert, is Gurbantunggut, which is Mongolian, which is the place where wild boars are infested. We all know that the Mongols became the masters of the Western Regions in the 13th century, and it can also be inferred that when the Mongols occupied Xinjiang, the Qaidam Basin was still a place infested with wild boars.

Chen Ying pointed in the northeast direction and said, "Pei Xiangguo, Xiao Xiangguo, Chen Xiangguo, Feng Shilang, do you think that Jieli Khan will pour a large army and attack Tang in the south?" Ladies and gentlemen, please think about it carefully, Jieli Khan really dares to attack Tang, will he wait until now? As early as when we were in a fierce battle with Wang Shichong, he could have led an army of 300,000 to the south. That's when we're at a loss. Now, he doesn't dare, although I don't know what means Jieli Khan used to bewitch the Western Turks to attack Tang, but I can be sure that once our Tang Dynasty defeats the enemy of Liangzhou's invasion, Jieli Khan will be like a bird in a tree, no matter how many men and horses he has, he will run as far as he can! If you think about it carefully, then you should understand that this time, our Datang is in danger on the surface, but in fact, it has created a rare situation, an opportunity for us to enter the Western Regions justifiably! ”

Chen Yingdao: "This is a big gamble for us, although there is a certain risk, but the Western Regions, Buwei Quartet, isn't it also here!" ”

When talking to smart people, you don't need to explain much, or even say everything. can become a high-ranking official at the Tang level, there is no fool. Chen Ying could see clearly, from the reactions of Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuan's eyes, Chen Ying knew that these people were already moved.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up the Western Regions, since ancient times, the Western Regions have been the inherent territory of China, and the Tang Dynasty can also justifiably restore the Western Regions.

The Tang Dynasty is not the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and at this time, the blood of the Tang Dynasty ministers of civil and military affairs is not cold.

Swallowing the Western Regions, Buwei Quartet.

Not only to rescue Liangzhou, but also to take the opportunity to occupy the entire Western Regions. Fighting big with small, thousands of miles longitudinal and horizontal, and the stronger the more you fight, this is the spirit of Datang.

Li Yuan was also thinking about it. Chen Ying's words also have a certain truth, with the cautious nature of Jieli Khan who was afraid of wolves before and tigers later, as long as the Tang Dynasty won the Western Turks in Liangzhou, the Eastern Turks would inevitably retreat and herd horses to the north.

At this time, Xiao Yu was the first to stand up and said, "What Chen Yuma said is very right, but how many soldiers and horses do you need to relieve the siege of Liangzhou?" But...... What if it fails? ”

"General Ben will not be defeated!" Chen Ying said categorically: "Your Majesty, give the minister 30,000 elites, at most one year, and the minister will give Your Majesty to open up the territory and tear the land, swallow the Western Regions, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!" ”

Li Yuan slowly closed his eyes, and his heart was like a deer.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's eyes met in the air, and Li Jiancheng nodded affirmatively. Li Yuan said: "I will give you 50,000 soldiers and horses......

PS: Gentlemen, whether the blood is cold, let's fight together in August! Weak and weak to ask for votes!
