Chapter 242 Fight northward and go straight to Huanglong

"Not in his position, not in his politics!" Chen Ying's words were not sharp for everyone present, but an accident.

In particular, he is very proficient in the way of self-preservation, in history he was a minister of the Sui Dynasty, ranked twelfth in Lingyan Pavilion, it can be said that he is the best treatment of the ministers in addition to Wei Zheng. In fact, the core of the dispute between the two sides, Qu Tutong can see at a glance that saving or not saving Li Shimin is actually a contest between the two camps of Qin Wangfu and East Palace.

Qu Tutong kicked the problem to Chen Ying lightly, in fact, he dug a pit, and agreed with Liu Hongji and Wang Junlang's proposal, Chen Ying would offend the Qin Palace, and once Li Shimin returned safely, he would hate Chen Ying to the bone. Once he supports Qin Wangfu, I am afraid that Li Jiancheng will also consider whether Chen Ying's ass is crooked.

It's just that Qu Tutong was very surprised that Chen Ying actually kicked the ball to the court again. Not in his position, not in his own politics, this is the best excuse and reason, and it is controversial and irrefutable.

In later generations, people often measured diplomatic power as an important factor in the sovereignty of the state, and in fact, in this era, diplomatic power was also the most important power of the emperor. Fornication with an enemy is also considered one of the most heinous crimes. Chen Ying handed over the power of this ruling to Li Yuan, which was tantamount to handing over this thorny issue to the imperial court to deal with. Because of the content of this peace agreement, there is a very clear clause, which requires Li Yuanming to issue a holy decree and promulgate the world.

This is tantamount to making the credibility of the entire Li Tang court also endorsed by Wang Shichong, so that Li Yuan would not be able to openly tear up his promises.

Qu Tutong's eyes narrowed like a fox, and the night before he and Li Shimin set out on the expedition, Li Yuan and his late-night conversation quickly flashed through his mind. After that, in just half an hour, Li Yuan said the Central Plains twenty-seven times, for the Central Plains, Li Yuan is determined to win, and similarly, Li Yuan's bottom line will definitely not be to make a country within a country in the Central Plains.

Tactful and knowing how to back down is an essential quality of a good politician. However, Chen Ying's impermeable performance would not be strange if it appeared in a politician who was over half a hundred years old, but Chen Ying was too young.

Since Li Xiuning met Chen Ying, Chen Ying has always taken the route of attacking, attacking, and attacking, but Li Xiuning is a little unbelievable, this man will make the choice "not in his position, not in his politics!" "You must know that at the beginning, when he was in Lingzhou, Li Yuan's intention was obviously to ease the contradiction with the Turks, but Chen Ying took the initiative to attack the Turks again and again, and directly sent envoys with the Turkic Shibi Khan and Chuluo Khan to force the Turks to release the Han people they had captured before.

However, Chen should have made such a decision at this time.

Of course, Li Xiuning knew that even if he couldn't figure out why Chen Ying did this at the moment, Li Xiuning subconsciously thought that he should support him.

Dealing with smart people is relatively simple. Li Xiuning's gaze and Chen Ying's gaze touched in the air, and Li Xiuning nodded slowly and said, "That's very good!" ”

The matter was finally decided.

All the generals left one after another, and even the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui also left slowly. At this time, Fang Xuanling set his eyes on the huge map behind Qu Tutong, and after a long time, Fang Xuanling dragged Du Ruhui, who was about to walk out of the big tent.

Du Ruhui suddenly realized.

Qu Tutong, Li Xiuning, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at Chen Ying expectantly.

Chen Ying was a little embarrassed by the four of them, he touched his nose and said, "It's all up to me to do something?" Do I have flowers on my face? ”

Du Ruhui coughed and said, "Please also ask General Chen Ying to tell me frankly!" ”

"I need time...... Of course, the capture of His Royal Highness King Qin is extremely passive for our Tang Dynasty, but ......" Chen Ying smiled slightly: "Isn't this the best opportunity for our Tang Dynasty to unify the north?" ”

Qu Tutong looked at Chen Ying with a surprised expression and said, "What does General Chen mean?" ”

"Actually, I have a bolder plan!" Chen Ying pointed to the Yellow River waterway, pointed to the Tongji Canal, and then pointed to the Yongji Channel: "From here Luoyang to Youbeiping, it will be a thoroughfare, if the news of His Royal Highness King Qin's capture reaches Dou Jiande's ears, what will he think?" ”

Fang Xuanling suddenly realized.

Li Xiuning said: "You mean...... Are you going to cross the river to the north? ”

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "This is just the middle strategy!" ”

Li Xiuning was puzzled, "The middle policy? You mean you want to go straight to Hebei! ”

"Yes!" Chen Ying is now Hebei Dou Jiande's defensive strength is weak, if a soldier and horse along the Yellow River, directly attack Xiangzhou, it will completely cut off the return of Dou Jiande's army, if I lead the army directly to the hinterland of Hebei, Dou Jiande's army will inevitably have no morale, lose the will to fight, at least one month, more than three months, the land of Hebei 39 states, will be the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the only overlord in the north, is His Majesty the Tang Emperor. ”

Fang Xuanling said: "But...... General Chen, now there is a very important question, how to cross the river with the army? Even if General Chen can let the soldiers cut down wood, build a pontoon bridge, successfully cross the Yellow River, and bring troops to Hebei, however, how will the army's baggage be transported......

Du Ruhui also said: "If General Chen wants to take the war to support the war, I'm afraid it won't work, Hebei has been in war for a long time, and the people have no savings, and Dou Jiande is famous in Hebei in the name of benevolence, if General Chen uses war to support the war, he will definitely lose the hearts of the people in Hebei." ”

"That's not a problem!" Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning with a smile and said, "Chen has a Cao Yun Hao clan Sun Jingchu, and he has more than 1,000 Cao Yun ships under his command, which can transport more than 30,000 stones, grains and grass at one time, or the same number of soldiers!" Sun Jingchu's Cao boat can be called by the Tang Dynasty, and I have already encountered obstacles, and I will reward him with a cavalry captain. ”

In fact, Chen Ying did not give Sun Jingchu any promises, but Chen Ying also knew that if he wanted the horse to run, he had to give the horse grass. Tiger Yicong has been suffering for decades following Hou Mo Chen's family, and when he can bring them benefits, Chen Ying will definitely not be stingy, and only in this way will Tiger Yicong be better able to give Chen Ying his life.

Li Xiuning nodded and said: "If it weren't for Sun Jingchu's boat, I'm afraid that General Chen would not be able to break through Yanshi City now, if we can't break through Yanshi City, I'm afraid we have been completely defeated in this battle, not to mention a small cavalry captain from the fifth grade, this palace can be the master, reward him with a light car captain." ”

The captain of the light car is the seventh turn of the Tang Dynasty's twelve military lords. In the Tang Dynasty, the military merits of the army were strictly calculated, with fewer strikes and more for "going into battle", the number of soldiers (including the number of soldiers and equipment) was quite "in battle", and more strikes and fewer for "going into battle". According to the results of the war: 40 percent of the enemy killed or captured is "captured"; Twenty percent of the enemy killed or captured is "captured"; Ten percent of the enemy killed or captured is "captured". In accordance with the pre-war conditions and the results of the war, the "turnaround" number was drawn up on a comprehensive basis. Go into battle and get five turns; In battle, the middle won four turns; The upper and lower scores are three turns, and the following is decreasing.

The seven military merits are equivalent to the sum of Chen Ying's two battles in the Battle of Lingzhou.

"General Chen" Qu Tutong hesitated, looked at Chen Yingdao: "Do you think that if you want to enter Hebei, how many soldiers and horses will be needed to have a chance of victory?" ”

"There is no chance of victory in the world" Chen Ying said: "But if you want to win, it is best to have 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers."

Qu Tutong's face sank: "Fifty thousand steps? Where did we get so many soldiers and horses, you don't know our situation! ”

Qu Tutong rubbed his stomach, how many soldiers and horses could be mobilized at this time, no one knew better than him, at that moment, he would maintain absolute pressure on Wang Shiyun, he quickly went through it in his mind, and finally said: "Okay, since General Chen has decided to go north, then we will transfer twenty-six troops from Zhichong Mansion to conquer Hebei in the east!" ”

"No," Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Zheng Jun will give me another 20,000 people if he captures Qingzhuang, give me 20,000 war horses, and I'll figure out the rest." ”
