"I see, no wonder!" Li Yuan suddenly realized. At the beginning, he had doubts about Chen Ying's identity. When the imperial examination system was not fully promoted, the means of disseminating knowledge were very limited.

In particular, the art of managing, training, and employing troops is a secret that is not passed down by each family. Chen Ying is just a scholar who serves in ink, how can he practice the art of war, how can he have such a profound attainment in the art of war, everything can be explained now.

Chen should be Hou Mo Chen's family, then everything can be explained. As one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Hou Mo Chen clan was the fifth ancestor of Hou Mo Chen Chong, the Marquis of Mo Chen Taigu. From the time of the Taigu Duhou, Hou Mo Chen Chong's family has served as the head of the tribe for generations. His grandfather, Hou Mo Chen Yun (Hou Mo Chen Yun in Northern History), guarded Wuchuan as a child of a good family and settled in Wuchuan. His father, Hou Mo Chen Xing, was the general of the palace and the supervisor of Yulin.

The Hou Mo Chen clan began to develop in the era of Hou Mo Chen Chong. When Hou Mo Chen Chong was fifteen years old, he accompanied He Bayue and Er Zhurong to conquer Ge Rong. With Yuan Tianmu pacified Xinggao. Then follow He Bayue to defeat Yuan Hao and Chishui Shu. After defeating Wan Qian Chounu, he was appointed as the general of Anbei, the doctor of Taizhong, and the governor of Linjing County for his merits.

In fact, when Hou Mo Chen Chong was fifteen years old, he had already achieved the rank of a high-ranking official at the level of Jiuqing in the Qin and Han dynasties. The Northern Zhou Dynasty set up six officials according to the "Zhou Li", with a middle doctor, a rank of five lives, and a position similar to that of Jiuqing and Shangshu after the Qin and Han dynasties. From this point of view, Chen Ying is still inferior to his grandfather Hou Mo Chen Chong.

Chen Ying's art of war should be a family heirloom. If Chen Ying is a poor family, Li Yuan is not in the mood to marry him at all, even if it is his own niece, but Chen Ying is the grandson of Hou Mo Chen Chong, then there is no problem at all. With the current status of the Mohou Chen family, it is still the leading wealthy family in Lingnan.

The marriage with Hou Mo Chen's family not only allowed Datang to be a good general, but also gave Datang a foreseeable dawn in Lingnan. At this time, the second son of Hou Mo Chen Chong was the former Sui general, the governor of Guizhou, and the military of the seventeen states, and was named the prince of Ping County.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan said: "Eunuch Pei, who is the person in charge of the Hou Mo Chen clan in Chang'an now?" โ€

Pei Lin said: "It is Hou Mo Chen Ying's second son, Mo Chen Qianhui, the prince of Shengping County." โ€

Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "Chen Ying is now the head of Lingzhou, and his official position is not necessarily a good thing for him. The former Sui ordered to deprive his father of the official title of Mo Chen Rui, and remembered his Chen Ying's merits, and posthumously awarded him the title of Zhuguo and Qinghe County! โ€

"Great goodness!" Pei Lin Dao; "Your Majesty, the matter of marriage!"

"I'll leave it to you!"

"Obey the order!"

The wild goose gate was closed, and the night had gradually shrouded. The heat of the day has also subsided a little.

In the camp of Tianxing Emperor Liu Wuzhou Yanmen Pass, Liu Wuzhou held a bowl of sour plum soup and quietly looked at the soup bowl. "Junzhang, I still don't worry, Chen Yingxiao'er divided 20,000 troops, if you storm Lou Fu Pass, I'm afraid Lou Fu Pass will not be able to hold on, if Lou Fu is lost, Taiyuan City will be in no danger to defend!"

Fan Junzhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty means that you want the minister to lead the army to support Lou Fuguan?" โ€

Liu Wuzhou wanted to nod, but suddenly a flash of light flashed in his head, and Liu Wuzhou suddenly said: "I almost missed a big thing!" โ€

Fan Junzhang said; "Your Majesty means ......"

Liu Wuzhou said: "What if Chen Ying's division of troops is fake, and its real purpose is not to annoy the Lou Pass, but to Yanmen Pass?" โ€

"This ......" Fan Junzhang said indecisively: "It's not impossible, Chen Ying's children's department is mostly cavalry, which is convenient for maneuvering." Even if it is more than 300 miles of mountain road, it is not a day and a half, if you see that the building is not well guarded, you will definitely storm the building, if the building can not be broken, he will turn to storm the Yanmen Pass! โ€

As he was talking, an officer broke in recklessly and disheveled, and crawled and knelt down in front of Liu Wuzhou while exclaiming: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty is not good...... That...... The ...... surnamed Chen Siege? โ€

Fan Junzhang seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed and said: "Yanmen Pass is more than ten miles away, and there is no single inch of wood, what will Chen Yingxiaoer attack?" โ€

Liu Wuzhou said: "What kind of attack to take, just see if you know!" โ€

Fan Junzhang nodded and said, "Yes!" โ€

Although Liu Wuzhou is just a grass king, his pomp and circumstance are not small. He also has the emperor's guard of honor, a large group of eunuchs and palace ladies, carrying incense burners and barrier fans, walked up to Yanmen Pass.

When he came to Guancheng, Liu Wuzhou was also taken aback.

I saw that under the city, the Tang army was densely packed with more than 30,000 horses. Although these Tang soldiers did not launch a siege posture at this time, there were quite a few heads.

"Sure enough, it's Chen Ying'er who is playing tricks!" Liu Wuzhou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "Fortunately, I saw through his trick in advance, otherwise I would have to suffer a big loss!" โ€

"Something is wrong, something is wrong!" Fan Junzhang pointed to the densely packed and sensational Tang army soldiers and said: "These Tang troops don't seem to be the original Tang Army!" โ€

Liu Wuzhou took a closer look, and it was indeed the case.

Although Da Shen is still the Da Yan of the Tang Dynasty, less than one-third of these so-called Tang Army soldiers are wearing Tang Army standard armor, and most of them are actually wearing ordinary people's clothes. Although the armor rate of the Tang Army is not necessarily 100 percent like the right guard rate, these Tang Army officers and soldiers do not even have the uniform of the Tang Army. As for the weapons in his hand, they are even more varied.

Liu Wuzhou said: "Where did Chen Yingxiao'er come from?" โ€

Fan Junzhang was also confused.

In fact, if Liu Wuzhou knew the source of Chen Ying's soldiers and horses, I am afraid that he would be so angry that he vomited blood.

Chen Ying actually felt that it was wonderful, when he captured Shuozhou, he got only three or four thousand surviving people in the three counties of Shuozhou. More than eighty percent of these people are old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, with Chen Yingguang's recovery of the entire territory of Shuozhou, the soldiers came to Yanmen Pass. At this time, a large number of people suddenly appeared, at the beginning there were only hundreds of thousands of people, but in just one day, there were more than 70,000 people gathered under the banner of Chen Ying's "Tang" character, of which Ding Zhuang was close to 20,000.

These 20,000 young Zhuang are basically composed of the children of the six wealthy families in Shuozhou or their vassal families, Shuozhou is the first to recommend the Zhao family, followed by the Xu family, Guo, Dong, Ren, Feng four clans are slightly smaller.

Zhao Boying of the Zhao family led seven sons, a total of more than 8,000 young and strong, and directly took refuge under Chen Ying. Xu Caifu of the Xu family led three sons with a total of more than 6,000 young and strong, and others such as Guo Rui led more than 1,800 people to take refuge in Chen Ying.

In fact, Zhao Boying, Guo Rui, Dong An, Ren Bi, and Feng Qilan took refuge in Chen Ying, not because Chen Ying expected, but because they hated Liu Wuzhou for persecuting them too much, and watched Shuozhou change hands, and the six major families together would do whatever it took to help Chen Ying gain a firm foothold in Shuozhou.
