Chapter 62 Mutual Containment and Mutual Checks and Balances

Chen Ying originally didn't want to win the battle to destroy the Eastern Turks, and the war achievements were enough for Chen Ying. He needs to give up the stage to Li Jing. Night attack on Yinshan, this is Li Jing's famous battle, and the first battle established his name as the god of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Jieli Khan was so desperate that he ran to Dingxiang with 350,000 horses.

It seems that Dingxiangcheng and Jieli Khan have formed an indissoluble bond.

Chen Ying could make great contributions to pacifying the Eastern Turks, but his old subordinates could no longer let it. From the consideration of the imperial court, this rumor storm also put forward a warning to Chen Ying.

In fact, Chen Ying didn't stay anywhere for long. This is not like Li Jing, nor is it like Li Shiji, and it is not as good as Xue Wanche. Xue Wanche stayed in Jingzhou for six years.

However, Chen Ying has only been in Lingzhou for more than two years, less than a year in Henan Prefecture, less than a year in Hebei, and more than two years in Anxi, but the Western Regions are too big.

Because, Chen Ying's performance is too eye-catching, his sharpness is revealed, wherever he goes, he will look like him. This made too many people in the court feel uneasy.

They were afraid that Chen should put down roots in the local area.

In fact, it didn't work.

Before Chen Ying arrived, the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty were very bitter, even if they were the Zuo Wu Houwei among the twelve guards, they could barely eat enough water, and as for meat, they didn't have to think about it at all.

However, Chen Ying would never corrupt the poor money of the soldiers in the army, nor would he play tricks on the armor and blades in the hands of the soldiers. On the contrary, any army that Chen Ying has led, they have received specific benefits from Chen Ying.

As the saying goes, it is easy to be thrifty and luxurious, and it is difficult to go from luxury to shallow. Once the soldiers of the army can eat a full meal, eat meat, wear warm clothes with Chen Ying, and their relatives at home have no worries about food and clothing, they will be inseparable from Chen Ying.

If anyone is changed, to bring the soldiers under Chen Ying's command, they can only follow Chen Ying's policy, otherwise, the soldiers will immediately show them the color.

Even if Chen Ying has no power or position, a paper order is issued, from Lingzhou to Shuozhou, to Henan, Hebei, and even Hedong, the left and right guard rates of the East Palace, the left and right Si Yu rates, and even the current left and right military guards.

As long as Chen Ying has led the soldiers, they will accept Chen Ying's orders in a very short time.

As long as it is the soldiers led by Chen Ying, they are all branded with Chen Ying, and they will also develop Chen Ying's training method, Chen Ying's unique way of work and rest.

As said in "Bright Sword", the temperament of a unit is directly related to the temperament of his first commander. Chen Ying's way of thinking, first of all, is different from this era, he doesn't even have the habit of not being in charge of the army.

Chen Ying believed that the lives of soldiers were precious, and that casualties should be minimized if the battle could be resolved without casualties. Especially the Dingyuan Army in Lingzhou and the Lingwu Left and Right Army. This army was formed by Chen Ying based on the officers led by the right guard of the East Palace.

Although time has passed, although Chen Ying has been in command of the Dingyuan Army and the Lingwu Army for nearly six years.

However, the traditions of Chen Ying's era, such as training in the morning and evening, learning culture in the whole army, and talking between officers and soldiers, and solving life and psychological problems, have all been inherited.

When the day was just dawning, the officers and men of the Dingyuan Army had already gotten up, and none of them slept lazily, and under the leadership of their respective brigade commanders and regimental captains, they carried out fully armed cross-country training with the regiment as a unit.

Groups of soldiers braved the biting cold, panting for white air for training.

Chen Ying stood on the city pass, looking at the neatly lined up, neatly raising his legs and landing on his feet, thousands of people like a one-person military formation, and he couldn't help but have a smug look on his face.

At this moment, there was a creaking sound behind Chen Ying, which was the sound of boots stepping on the snow.

Chen Ying didn't look back, because his footsteps were messy, obviously not Chen Ying's generals, and he could approach Chen Ying within thirty steps of the only one who could approach Chen Ying within thirty steps in Tongwan City.

The soldiers who were training under the city inadvertently looked up and found Chen Ying's figure on the city wall.

Their mood suddenly became excited: "General! ”

The soldiers were excited, and the captain said with a straight face: "Look to the right......"

"Let's go!"

When you are walking, it is very powerful, and it gives people a very shocking feeling.

Li Xiaogong looked at the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army under the city, and said with envy: "General Chen's strict management of the army really deserves his reputation!" ”

Li Xiaogong's words, Chen Ying was not polite. Instead, he said lightly: "King Hejian, Jieli has come to settle down!" ”

"It's time to settle down!" Li Xiaogong said with some surprise: "He can't wait so much? ”

Chen Yingdao: "He's here, I don't want him to go again!" ”

Li Xiaogong naturally heard the meaning of Chen Ying's words.

It's just that the Northern Expedition to the Eastern Turks is the established strategy of the imperial court, and now Li Jiancheng's holy decree and the dispatch order of the military department have not yet come.

Of course, Li Xiaogong is not afraid of committing taboos, if Jieli only has 10,000 people around him, without Li Jiancheng's order, he would have rushed up with the Hedong army.

The key is that Jieli Khan has an army of 350,000 around him, and more than 10,000 men and horses of Hou Sui. However, they have less than 40,000 horses, which is almost a 10-to-1 ratio, which is really a huge disparity.

Li Xiaogong muttered: "Now, we don't have His Majesty's holy decree, should we send someone to Chang'an to ask for war?" ”

"Fight by asking for instructions!" Chen Ying said angrily: "You can't catch up with the heat when you eat!" ”

Li Xiaogong was stunned and ignored Chen Ying.

In fact, the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army who could be mobilized by Chen Ying alone were far from being able to go to Dingxiang City, and these thousands of people were thrown into it, and it was likely to defeat Jieli Khan!

Li Xiaogong looked at Chen Ying's face was not good, but he didn't say anything more.

In Li Xiaogong's view, with no effort, they captured Liang Shidu alive and recovered the 28 counties of Xiazhou, Yanzhou, and Gyeongju, they have already overfulfilled their tasks, and there is no need to add to them.

It was a joy to defeat Jieli Khan, but once it failed, the consequences were very heavy.

The Hedong Army was Li Xiaogong's troops, nominally under Chen Ying's temporary control, but now that the Liang State had been destroyed and the Liang divisions had been captured, if Li Xiaogong refused to hand over the Hedong Army to Chen Ying's command, Chen Ying would have nothing to do.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying sighed and said: "General Ben does not secondment the Hedong Army, he only needs the equipment and supplies of the Hedong Army, and Chen will give the brothers of the Yuan Army to earn a fortune!" ”

Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "What General Chen needs, if Xiaogong can do it, he will do his best!" ”

Li Xiaogong didn't dare to offend Chen Ying to death, after all, Chen Ying was a celebrity around Li Jiancheng, a descendant of the lineage.

Chen Ying asked Li Xiaogong for 1,000 four-wheeled carriages, plus the carriages prepared by the Dingyuan Army, more than 1,600 carriages, of which 400 were used to load soldiers and the other 1,200 carriages, all of which were used to load supplies and fuel.

In such cold weather conditions, there is not enough fuel, and people in the field are afraid that they will not be able to hold out even overnight.

Chen Ying asked the soldiers to prepare a month's rations, as well as the corresponding war horse fodder, blades and armor, all ready, and then began to carry out the final disguise.

……

In the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng, who was dressed in regular clothes, slowed down and walked into Li Yuan's dormitory.

Concubine Yin De was about to get up and salute.

Li Jiancheng hurriedly made a gesture to silence.

Li Jiancheng walked to Li Yuan's bed and carefully investigated.

Li Yuan was sleeping.

Li Jiancheng cautiously walked out of the dormitory.

The imperial doctor who was waiting outside the dormitory gave Li Jiancheng a salute.

Li Jiancheng asked with an unkind face: "What is the illness of my father?" ”

The imperial doctor stammered: "The wind and cold hit the lungs and coughed up blood, and I stood outside the Linhu Hall for too long in the afternoon." ”

Li Jiancheng sighed to himself: "Before, the body bones were not so bad?

The imperial doctor said: "The evil of wind and cold, the disease is in the lungs, because the wind and cold attack the surface, the external bundle of muscles, Weiyang is contained, the inner body is in the lungs, and the purging is derelict in duty."

Li Jiancheng said with a confused face: "What do you mean?" ”

The imperial doctor said: "The Emperor Taishang has actually been seriously ill for a long time. Evil accumulates in the chest, blocking the qi reversal, the qi cannot pass, all the evil and the good fight each other, the evil wins, the good cannot be controlled, and then the formation is formed and there is a ......"

Li Jiancheng waved his hand impatiently and said, "You can be clearer!" ”

The imperial doctor hesitated for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang has been phlegm for a long time, and this time he coughed up blood, I am afraid that he will ...... Days are numbered! ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned and said, "What nonsense! ”

The imperial doctor was so frightened that he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, how dare the minister talk nonsense, when he was just diagnosed and treated, the Emperor Taishang already knew that he was suffering from an incurable disease...... It's just that...... I didn't say it to Your Majesty. ”

Li Jiancheng stood for a long time.

Concubine Yin De walked out of the door and saluted Li Jiancheng: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang has woken up, please let Your Majesty in." ”

Li Yuan was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, listening to the sound of footsteps, and called softly: "Da Lang......"

Li Jiancheng hurriedly stepped forward and sat down in front of the couch.

Li Yuan gently grabbed Li Jiancheng's hand, a strange look appeared on his face, and asked, "Guess, if you make your next holy decree, will Chen Ying come back from Tongwan City immediately?" ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he was quite embarrassed and didn't know how to respond for a while.

Li Yuan lowered his eyebrows and looked like he hadn't heard of it.

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Li Yuan said with difficulty: "On the punishment of crimes, this is the emperor's technique...... It's a contingency...... It's not a way to govern...... Ruling the world...... Use more momentum...... Use with caution...... Technique...... If you can, try not to use it...... What you need to know to be the Son of Heaven...... I can't do anything that is pleasant...... The power of the emperor is not in life and death; The power of the Son of Heaven is not in the Axe...... The authority of the imperial court...... In Li Shu's heart...... The prestige of the imperial court...... Is...... Overnight rice ...... in a small household"

Li Yuan said this intermittently, and Li Jiancheng was already moved on his face, and he was about to have something to say.

Li Yuan continued: "In the past, Sheng Han was so powerful...... Siyi Bin Suit...... What kind of meteorological ...... is the 11th Tomb? Now you see, how much is there that has not been stolen? ”

Li Yuan said with a tired look: "After I die, don't make a big burial, don't open the mountain mausoleum, wear paper clothes, a tile coffin, the tomb is built with bricks, no stones, stone people and stone horses, no use." Don't use officers and soldiers to guard the spirit, don't repair the underground palace, don't put the people who guard the spirit palace, only recruit hundreds of households near Lishu, face their generations of food, and make them perform the duty of sacrifice and sweeping. A stone stele, engraved with the inscription: The Tang Dynasty Emperor Linyan drove ......"

Li Jiancheng waved his hand to interrupt Li Yuan's words and said: "Palace doctors, there is rice from the imperial court every day, but in fact, the ability is not good, this child knows it in his heart. Your illness has not yet reached that point, take your time to recuperate, and there will always be a good day. ”

Li Yuan said: "Da Lang ......"

Li Yuan hurriedly interrupted Li Jiancheng's words and said: "Chen Ying, Li Jing and Xu Shiji are all peerless famous generals, managing the army and soldiers, and there is no one else in the world, and they are all cautious and cautious, people who know the way of Tao and obscurity, so you don't need to ......."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan coughed.

Li Jiancheng hurriedly picked up the water cup on the side, but he was a little at a loss.

Li Yuan shook his hand and continued, "They don't need Your Majesty...... Worry about their outcome. As long as these three people are in the court, there is no need to be afraid of external and internal strife......"

Li Jiancheng nodded again and again, looking at Li Yuan with unbearability.

Li Yuan continued: "Although Fang Xuanling is ...... Erlang is an old man, however, he has a strategy, a pivot in his abdomen, and a person, not afraid of the powerful, loyal and stalked, but not the same, Yu Wenshi and that ...... pedantic empty talk, it is a rare minister, with him, the wind is not evil. ”

Li Yuan coughed again.

Li Jiancheng slowly put down the cup and was silent.

Li Yuan said again: "Da Lang...... Remember...... The foundation of Guanzhong, the twelve guards are divided into six, Chen Ying, Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, and Li Shentong each lead two guards, contain each other, check and balance each other......"

Li Jiancheng said distraughtly: "Daddy, you concentrate on recuperation, I know what to do." ”

Li Jiancheng got up as he spoke, and shouted loudly: "Come on, move the Furong Garden to the Emperor Taishang!" ”

At the moment when Li Jiancheng got up, Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a gleam......

It's a pity that Li Jiancheng cares about chaos.

I didn't notice Li Yuan's abnormality at all.
