"Declare sovereignty!" Listening to this unfamiliar word, Xu Jingzong quickly understood Chen Ying's intentions.

Duke Qi Huan and Guan Zhong attacked the state of Chu, nominally: "Chu Gong does not enter the country, and the king does not have sacrifices, which is the responsibility." King Zhao's southern expedition is not returned, and he is asked. "In fact, everyone doesn't respect Zhou Tianzi, and the time for slacking off is not short, why did you only take the Chu State at this time? As for King Zhao, he accidentally drowned in the river, so it's even more strange that Chu State. However, the state of Qi began to become rich and strong under the governance of Guan Zhong, and the original powerful state of Chu inevitably produced contradictions that could not be reconciled by peaceful means, and it was the desire of the ruling class to wage war, and it was also an objective need, and the reasons on the table were all found.

According to "The Book of Rites: Under the Tan Bow", there are clouds, and the division must be famous. So every time I fight, I will find a fair and honest reason. Gradually, this formed a Chinese tradition.

Chen Ying wanted to send more patrols to Lian County, but in fact, he also thought of a reason for a division to send troops.

After the Central Plains region entered the period of letter history, the Helan Mountains were still a paradise for nomads, and those nomadic groups who lived in pursuit of water and grass lived their own lives in the Helan Mountain area, where water and grass were abundant.

The Qin army defeated the king of Xiyiqu and included Helan Mountain in the territory of the Qin Dynasty for the first time. However, with the chaos at the end of Qin, the Xiongnu took the opportunity to occupy Helan Mountain. It was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing went north to fight against the Xiongnu, once again extending the military power of the Han regime in the Central Plains to the Helan Mountain area. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty divided the country into thirteen thorn history departments, under the jurisdiction of counties, including the establishment of Lian County under the jurisdiction of Beidi County at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain. This marked the establishment of the first county-level organization in Helan Mountain.

However, after the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the brief unification of the Western Jin Dynasty, it fell into division again. Helan Mountain belonged to the Xianbei Bald Division, the Qiang Burning Tribe, the White Horse Division, the Xianbei Tuyuhun Division, and now it belongs to the Eastern Turkic control, and it was not until Li Shimin ordered the destruction of the Xue Yantuo Department in history that Helan Mountain was included under the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Chen Ying naturally didn't want to bear the charge of lightly starting the war, he ordered the Lingwu Army patrol to inspect Lian County, if the Tang Lingwu Army was attacked, then Chen Ying could fight back against the Turks openly.

Chen Ying didn't have much psychological burden on this kind of shameless robbery, in the period of primitive accumulation, if he wanted to be completely clean, it was a fool's dream, at least, he hadn't heard of a country, or a family at the beginning, it would be flawless. The rise of a nation is destined to step on the bones of one or more ethnic groups, and whenever the nomadic people rise on the grassland, it means that the blood of the Chinese nation is flowing like a river, the bones are like mountains, the red land is thousands of miles, and the white bones are exposed.

Xu Jingzong said worriedly: "Chief Manager Chen is ready to feed the war with war, so he will eat the enemy?" ”

Chen Ying nodded and said: "It costs money to build a farm, it costs money to dredge ditches, it costs money to build a town fort, it costs money to repair a city, and 150,000 mouths need to eat, and the general manager has no choice!" ”

"Yes...... The crime is not light. Xu Jingzong said worriedly: "If the imperial history of the court impeaches the governor, if the imperial court blames it......"

At this time, Chen Ying's official position to Xu Jingzong was to join the army (equivalent to a staff officer) in the Records Office of the Lingzhou Soldiers and Horses Governor's Office, which was a civil official from the sixth grade. Xu Jingzong is quite satisfied with the current treatment, but once a son of heaven and a courtier, this important work such as drafting documents, recording and commending in the army cannot be held by non-confidants. He was appointed by Chen Ying to join the army, and the imperial court recognized it, and if he changed to other generals, he would definitely not appoint Xu Jingzong.

Therefore, the current Xu Jingzong and Chen should be regarded as both prosperous and lossless.

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "This is not going to happen, now the Eastern Turks have concentrated more than 50,000 troops to help Liu Wuzhou storm Jinzhou, Fenzhou, and Hedong, as long as we start fighting in Lingzhou, we will definitely be able to reduce the military pressure in Hedong, even if there is an impeachment of the imperial history, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not sit idly by and watch the governor be impeached and removed from office!" ”

Xu Jingzong breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ying's next sentence made him speechless for a long time.

"However, this battle can only be won, not lost!" Chen Ying smiled faintly: "If I lose, all the basins will be buckled on my head, and the manager will be the man who carries the blame!" ”

Xu Jingzong said: "Why doesn't the governor ask the court for help? ”

"Asking for help?" Chen Ying was puzzled: "What help?" ”

Xu Jingzong said: "The Turks have been moving day after day in recent days, turning into many shares, entering Kolingzhou, destroying more than a dozen villages and towns in Lingzhou, and injuring hundreds ......of people."

When Chen Ying heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. Xu Jingzong is now repeatedly complaining to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can't figure out the real reality of Lingzhou. At that time, the imperial court will definitely order Chen Ying to send troops, and then it will be justified, which can not only achieve Chen Ying's strategic goal of feeding the enemy with war, but also remove the charge of sending troops without authorization.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" Chen Ying smiled and said: "Just do it according to the method of joining the army!" ”

Xu Jingzong did not think twice, grinding and writing down: "General, Lingzhou Soldiers and Horses, Dingyuan Army Soldiers and Horses Commander Chen Yingdun is the first to play, since March, the border affairs are restless, Turkic thieves are rampant, Lingzhou under the rule of Huile, Hongjing, Huaiyuan, Lingwu, Mingsha, Feng'an six counties Li Shu suffered a lot, and thousands of people lost their homes...... On the afternoon of this month, the thief once narrowly broke through Mingsha County, the minister led the army to catch Mingsha, the thief retreated to the territory of Lian County, the minister did not dare to cross the border to pursue, and asked the Holy Judge! ”

But that's what happened in reality.

In Xiheting, Lian County, a dozen Turkic people were grazing sheep on the lush meadow, and a group of cavalry of the Lingwu Army rushed towards the grazing sheep.

When the fierce Turk saw that someone wanted to rob him of his sheep, he grabbed his hunting bow and shot at the head of the Lingwu cavalry. A dozen hunting bows to resist hundreds of Lingwu cavalry is simply a joke.

However, what was surprising was that the rain of arrows had not yet hit the Lingwu Army's array, and suddenly a Lingwu Army soldier clutched his chest and shouted: "The Turks are powerful, run!" ”

Huhulala, more than 100 cavalrymen, turned their horses' heads and ran south.

More than a dozen Turkic people frowned at each other: "What should I do?" ”

"If you don't have a family, you are a bastard!" When more than a dozen Turks saw that the Lingwu army was so weak, they also rushed to the idea of waving it. Leaving two people to watch the flock, the remaining dozen Turks rode their horses and chased towards the Lingwu army.

Looking at the Turkic people who were chasing after him, this Lingwu army commander was about to cry out with joy, it was not easy, he provoked more than a dozen tribes in a row, and finally met a group of fools.

The Lingwu army ran in front, and the Turks chased behind. The two sides staged a good show of cat and mouse on the Yinchuan Plain. The two sides come and go, and they fight happily.

Unknowingly, in front of an abandoned deserted village in Mingsha County, more than a dozen Lingwu cavalry stopped their horses neatly. More than a dozen Turks were not aware of the danger at all, and thought that the Lingwu army had run out of horsepower.

Seeing that the Lingwu Army couldn't run, more than a dozen Turks rushed forward with shouts.

However, they were greeted by an overwhelming rain of arrows.

When more than a dozen Turks were all shot into hedgehogs, at this time, the soldiers of the Lingwu Army found some things to ignite the abandoned village and set it on fire, and the fire quickly burned the abandoned village to ruins.

The villages that have been turned into ruins and the corpses of the thirteen Turks who died in front of the ruins are the best evidence. Chen Ying roared at the Turkic envoy with confidence: "Give you one day, hand over the murderer, and compensate for the loss of our Lingzhou, otherwise see you on the battlefield!" ”

More than 9,000 cavalry of the Lingwu Army raised their arms and more than 10,000 soldiers raised their arms and said: "Hand over the murderer and compensate for the losses, otherwise see you on the battlefield!" ”

The sound was so loud that even the sky changed color.
