Chapter 145 The wind direction of the imperial court has changed

The "east wind" in Chen Ying's mouth is actually not the east wind in the real sense, but refers to the wind direction of the imperial court. Attacking King Zheng Shichong is Li Shimin's dish.

Enough is political correctness. At any time, the sorrow of a military general is that he can't see through the situation, on the contrary, Chen Ying sees this point very thoroughly. For example, Liang Shidu, obviously there are less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, more than 20 counties, not to mention the army of the imperial court, even if it is a random general of the Sixteenth Guard, with a guard and more than a dozen soldiers and horses, he can abuse the Liang division to die and live, but the imperial court did not destroy the Liang division.

Not because you can't, but because you don't want to. The scope controlled by Liang Shidu happened to be on the Yinshan Mountain Road, which could be from Mobei to Monan, and in this case, if Li Tang eliminated Liang Shidu, it would mean that he would have to face the pressure from the Turks alone.

But Liu Wuzhou was different, after Liu Wuzhou's death, his power collapsed. In fact, the Turks at this time, like the Tang Dynasty, were afraid of beating wolves with hemp sticks. As early as November last year, Luo Khan sent people to Dou Jiande, and at the cost of 10,000 war horses, asked Dou Jiande to return Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao.

Chuluo Khan Ashina Lifu set to welcome Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to the Turks, supported Yang Zhengdao as the king of Sui, and assigned all the officials and people of the Central Plains who remained in the territory of the Eastern Turks to Yang Zhengdao to govern, and restored the "Great Sui" regime. Yang Zhengdao set up hundreds of officials in Dingxiang, all of which were in accordance with the Sui Dynasty system and had more than 10,000 subordinates.

In this way, the Sui Dynasty established a buffer zone with the Turks in the direction of Shuo to the east of the river, which was tacitly accepted by both sides. Even if he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty under the banner in name, but in fact established himself as the king of Youzhou, the governor of Youzhou and Luo Yi, the king of Yan, the Turks did not dare to deal with it easily. Because the Khan of Chuluo was really afraid.

When Chen Ying only had a few thousand cavalry under his command, he was no longer an opponent. Now with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, he can casually pull out thirty or fifty thousand cavalry, and when the time comes, it will be useless for him to hide in the Dragon Court.

As early as when Li Yuan agreed with him to lead the left and right guards of the East Palace and the left and right Si Yu to attack Hangu Pass, Chen Ying actually understood that Li Yuan really didn't want Chen Ying to break through Hangu Pass. Because as long as you have a little military common sense, you know that it is impossible for 20,000 horses to easily break through Hangu Pass.

Of course, if Chen Ying still used the distilled fierce fire oil to give Wang Ren a burning city, Chen Ying believed that Hangu Pass would definitely be the same as the Yanmen Pass guarded by Liu Wuzhou at the beginning, and he would go down in a battle.

It is the nature of emperors to like to take everything into their own hands. As an emperor, Li Yuan had such an idea, which naturally did not surprise Chen Ying, it was not Li Yuan's purpose to break through Hangu Pass, and it was Li Yuan's most important thing to know about what method Chen should use to break through Hangu Pass.

deliberately only gave Chen Ying more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, just to force Chen Ying to take out the incendiary bombs that broke through Yanmen Pass. For Li Yuan's concerns, Chen Ying felt very ridiculous. He really wanted to tell Li Yuan that he could come up with more powerful weapons as long as he wanted, but thinking that Li Yuan was so suspicious, Chen Ying really didn't dare to trust Li Yuan unreservedly.

At this moment, Chen Ying's deep thought was disturbed by the sound of horses' hooves like rolling thunder, Shan Xiongxin looked at this small group of cavalry, and suddenly was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "Why is he here?" ”

Chen Ying turned around and saw the person coming. This group of people are all his acquaintances, including the black-faced Luo Shixin, the honest Zhang Huaiwei, the white Zhang Shigui, and Duan Zhigan and Bi Xin.

Luo Shixin was still dozens of steps away from Chen Ying, and Ashina Simo greeted him. The four eyes of the two of them are like cross-eyed, colliding with sparks in the air.

Luo Shixin looked at Ashina Simo's hand and said word by word: "Hmph, there is a kind of don't use a bow and arrow, yes yes will teach you how to be a man today!" ”

Ashnasimo sneered: "You have a kind of don't use your gun." ”

Luo Shixin jumped off his horse and stabbed his spear into the frozen snow, and an iron spear penetrated into the snow about a foot away. Luo Shixin shouted at Ashnasmo: "Come, come, come...... yes yes can convince you with her fists! ”

Ashnasimo dropped his bow and arrows, and also pounced on Luo Shixin with his bare hands.

Shan Xiong's confidence tightened, and he was about to step forward to help.

In the faith of a single male, a brother is always a brother. Luo Shixin is his brother, but Ashina Simo is not, no matter how Ashina Simo is Chen Ying's henchman, he will be beaten. It's a big deal, turn around and accept Chen Ying's punishment with Luo Shixin.

Chen Ying stretched out his hand and pulled Shan Xiongxin's arm: "Don't worry, don't worry, this is their unique way of connecting feelings." ”

Sure enough, as Chen Ying said, whether it was Zhang Huaiwei or Zhang Shigui, they were not nervous, they all had the attitude of watching the monkey show with their arms in their arms. The most excessive thing is Duan Zhigan, this product actually pulled a group of generals to bet on the side.

Luo Shixin and Ashina Simo have their own strengths, Ashina Simo is most proud of his riding skills, but Luo Shixin, a freak, not only is not weaker than Ashina Simo, but relies on his own strength and strength is not lost, and the riding battle often abuses Ashina Simo, but Ashina Simo is really powerful is his archery.

In the entire East Palace, the left and right guard rate, the left and right Si Yu rate eighteen folds of all the soldiers in the Chong Mansion, I am afraid that no one can compare with him, even if Zhang Shigui's archery skills are good, but Zhang Shigui's archery skills are stationary shooting, or standing on the ground to shoot, the accuracy is very high, but on horseback riding and shooting, Zhang Shigui is far worse than Ashina Simo.

But compared to fists and feet, Luo Shixin is not weaker than Ashina Simo, but Ashina Simo will compete, just like Li Kui in "Water Margin" is afraid of Yan Qing, Yan Qing can easily fall Li Kui. Similarly, as long as Ashina Simo catches Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin will definitely be thrown, of course, if Luo Shixin is not caught, it will definitely be Ashina Simo who will be beaten.

Just when Luo Shixin and Ashina Simo were fighting, Chen Ying keenly noticed that there were several fresh faces in the team. And although these two people are dressed as cavalrymen, the attitude of the two of them definitely does not look like mere soldiers.

Chen Ying looked at one of the people with a white face, looking at the folds on his face, I am afraid that he is no less than forty years old, but he actually has no beard, and there is only one answer - a eunuch from the palace.

"This father-in-law, I don't know what to call it?"

"Father-in-law, our family really can't stop it!" The middle-aged man with a feminine appearance, beardless lips and jaws, and a face as white as a girl said with a smile: "We are the inner chamberlain Langguan An Xing, and the slave has seen General Chen!" ”

In the Sui Dynasty, the inner chamberlain was still the inner chamberlain, but in the Tang Dynasty, the province was demoted to the eunuch, and the rank of all eunuchs was lowered. Lang Guan is a relatively low-ranking eunuch in the inner chamberlain. It's much smaller than Chen Qi, the middle waiter of the fourth grade.

An Xing pointed to the soldier who was curious about the training of the Modao Army and the Hook and Sickle Spear Soldier and said, "This is the Chinese Zhengming of the Ministry of Soldiers!" ”

Hearing this name, Chen Ying almost choked on his own saliva.

Unexpectedly, this Wen Zhengming was a person with particularly poisonous eyes, he instantly caught the strangeness in Chen Ying's eyes, and asked curiously: "General Chen has heard of Xiaguan?" ”

Chen Ying shook his head.

Wen Zhengming was also interested, and did not ask.

Although An Xing, the inner servant, and Wen Zhengming, the staff of the military department, Chen Ying already knew that the Dongfeng he was waiting for had actually come, and it didn't matter whether it was Dongfeng or not, at least he already knew the specific action of the next step.

Wen Zhengming is a member of the Ministry of War, and he is a five-grade officer, and he came to inspect military merits on behalf of the Ministry of War; The minister An Xing is the bureau official who is waiting for prison, and An Xing is afraid that he will serve as a prison officer.

An army without a supervising army is actually very rare in this era, Chen Ying led more than 20,000 troops, if they are happy, if they are not interested, they will definitely be in trouble, and some people are looking for him to settle accounts after the autumn.

However, Li Yuan also underestimated Chen Ying too much, even if Chen Ying had not studied any political struggles, but he had watched a lot of TV series and movies, a general, especially a general with high merit, if he wanted to live for a long time, he must first understand advance and retreat, and understand the general situation. You can only do what the emperor asks you to do, and if you don't let you do something, it's best to keep to it.

There is a prison army, which means that Li Yuan is ready to give Chen Ying a more difficult task.

Chen Ying understands very well, after all, he takes care of a family, and he doesn't simply use the self-consciousness of those under him, but also relies on supervision. Now Li Yuan asked An Xing to come over to supervise the army, which means that Chen Ying will be weighted.

At this time, Luo Shixin and Ashina Simo had already finished fighting, and at this time, Luo Shixin was covered with snow on his back, obviously falling more than once, of course, Ashina Simo did not take advantage.

Ashnasmo's eyes were blue, and the corners of his mouth were also broken, and he was bleeding a little.

Luo Shixin patted Chen Ying on the shoulder and said, "That's right, you fought beautifully in the two battles in the north plateau of Hangu Dao!" ”

"It's not enough, if Brother Luo can come over earlier!" Chen Ying pointed to the Hangu Pass in the distance and smiled: "We can already drink in the Hangu Pass"

Chen Ying laughed, and gestured to lead everyone to the big tent of the Chinese army.

This time, An Xing and Wen Zhengming brought a reward from the imperial court. However, the two good news and the captured gold were sent to Chang'an City, but Chen Ying was not promoted this time, nor was he knighted, but was only given a python robe.

The python robe is the costume of the vassal king, according to the system of five claws for the dragon and four claws for the python, Chen Ying's head began to turn sharply, Li Yuan would not give him a python robe for no reason.

Although the Tang Dynasty had kings with different surnames, there were quite a few. But if you think about it carefully, except for Guo Ziyi, who is a king with a different surname, it seems that no one else will end well. It is said that although he has some credit, he is still more than a little short of being crowned king.

At this time, An Xing took out a roll of bright yellow jade shafts, and unfolded it in a voice unique to eunuchs: "The champion general, the guest of the prince of the East Palace, the prince of Pengcheng, and Chen Ying receive the order!" ”

Chen Ying also knew the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and immediately bowed down and became serious.

"The edict of the Tang Emperor said ......"
