Chapter 176 will be subject to the order of the foreign monarch

"Who are you to judge this king?" Zhu Cang squinted at Chen Ying and smiled coldly: "It's up to you?" The person in the world who can decide the life and death of this king can be Li Yuan Lao'er, or Wang Shichong, and the worst should be Li Shimin, when will it be your turn! ”

"You ......" Chen Ying was furious, and instantly pulled out a horizontal knife and pressed a sharp blade against Zhu Can's throat. As long as Chen Ying's wrist adds a little strength, a big blood opening will appear in Zhu Can's throat, and Zhu Can's blood will flow out in just one pillar of incense.

At this moment, Chen Ying clearly saw a relieved look in Zhu Cang's eyes, and finally understood what was going on. Chen Ying slowly put away the horizontal knife and returned the knife into the sheath.

Zhu Cang was stunned for a moment, and smiled coldly: "What? Are you scared? Obediently untie this king, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around! ”

"Haha...... Let you die to understand. Chen Ying looked up to the sky and laughed: "There is no need to use the agitation method on this general, when you eat the first person, you have committed a capital crime, the sky will not accept you, I will accept it!" You want to die, it's not that easy. ”

There was a hint of panic in Zhu Can's eyes, although it was only a flash, it was still keenly captured by Chen Ying.

"Someone!" Chen Ying shouted coldly: "Give him a little color to see!" ”

"I'm coming!" Zhou Qing raised his horsewhip and whipped it towards Zhu Cang.

"Pap ......" Two blood marks appeared on Zhu Can's face in an instant, but Zhu Cang was also stiff and scolded Chen Ying. However, seeing that he was disrespectful, Guo Luo hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed a stinky sock into Zhu Cang's mouth.

Chen Ying originally wanted to give Zhu Cang a public trial, but it was raining heavily, and he was quite helpless, not to mention that now that Dou Jiande's army is advancing westward, Chen Ying doesn't want to cause trouble in vain.

"Five horses split into corpses!"

"The car cracks!"

"Ling Chi!"

"Shredded!"

"Burn in flames"

Chen Ying discussed with the generals how to deal with this ogre. At this moment, Guo Luo said: "General, it's better to hand over this Zhu Cang to Zhou Chengdong......

When Chen Ying heard the name Zhou Chengdong, he immediately remembered that when he was in Jinsha Town, Zhou Chengdong didn't even torture Wang Xuanqiong, so he scared Wang Xuanqiong to pee. Of course, Wang Xuanqiong has no way to compare with Zhu Cang, but it is obvious that Zhou Chengdong is a very ideal candidate.

"Let Zhou Chengdong come over!" Chen Yingdao: "Tell Zhou Chengdong that if Zhu Cang dies before he is stabbed 3,600 times, I am the only one who asks!" ”

……

Wang Shichong made thousands of calculations, but he missed the variable of Chen Ying. His wisdom and strategies were all learned from the Han Chinese. The apprentice's ability, the teacher just paid for it when he saw it.

If it weren't for Chen Ying's withdrawal from the Beibi camp to Xin'an, he would not have dared to launch a Longmen ambush. But just when Wang Shichong thought that Chen Ying would open up wasteland in Xin'an with peace of mind, Chen Ying actually killed Longmen from Xin'an and rescued Li Shimin, who had fallen into a desperate situation.

It was precisely because of Zhu Can's stubbornness that Wang Shichong saw the hope of defeating Chen Ying and defeating the Tang army, but he never thought that Chen Ying would actually arrange a back hand. At the critical moment, Chen Ying's elite men and horses suddenly came out, and when he didn't even have time to rescue, he captured Zhu Cangsheng and annihilated Zhu Cang's department.

"Defeated......" Wang Ren also sighed for a long time. This is not a simple rout, but a crushing rout that has cost ninety percent of the centaurs!

Just when Wang Shichong was worried, Duan Da smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are actually too worried. Although this battle was only a small setback, as long as Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, led his army to Luoyang, the Tang army would collapse without a fight. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, Li Tang now has a large number of generals, and he has lost 100,000 soldiers and horses, and they can afford to lose, as long as Li Yuan'er is willing, he will definitely be able to transfer troops from Hexi or Bashu to the east, and at that time, our Great Zheng Guo will definitely be more passive." ”

Duan Da said with a smile: "The old minister got a piece of news that Luo Khan of the Turkic Department is critically ill and can't get out of bed for more than a month. If nothing else, the second son of Chuluo Khan is still young and cannot be convincing to the public, according to Turkic customs, he will definitely choose one of the younger brothers of Ashina Lifusheh to succeed him to the throne. ”

Wang Shichong said puzzledly: "What does this have to do with our Great Zheng Guo?" Could it be that you let me learn from Liu Wuzhou, that shameless person who worships Turkic mongrels? ”

Duan Da shook his head and said, "The old minister definitely didn't mean that. Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shidu are like jackal ears, if they can't take care of the home for their masters, it will be a dead end. What Lao Chen wants to say is that Ashina Lifu has three younger brothers who have reached adulthood, namely Ashina Dubi, Ashina Bulishe, and Ashina Desire Valley. Among them, Ashina is the strongest and has the most parts, and of course, he is also the most likely to become the new Khan! ”

Wang Shichong is not without dealing with the Turks, and knows some about the customs of the Turks. The biggest difference between the Turks and the Central Plains is that once the emperor changes in the Central Plains Dynasty, they are all without exception and are dedicated to saving stability. The Turks, on the other hand, had to assert the authority and prestige of the new khan through one or more large-scale wars. Even after the death of Shibi Khan, he was succeeded by Chuluo Khan, who had just been defeated, and had to launch the Battle of Hedong in order to continue this tradition.

Wang Shichong instantly understood what Duan Da meant, once Ashina was aggressive, Ashina Bulishe, and Ashina Desire Valley were all good to succeed to the throne of Cheng Khan, they must choose a target to break through.

However, at the end of last year, the Turks in Hebei also suffered a big loss, and Dou Jiande's subordinate Liu Heimin annihilated more than 10,000 Turkic cavalry under the command of Bu Lishe with 5,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry in Yi County, and captured more than 5,000 of them. Rang Luo Khan had to get more than 10,000 good horses, and exchanged them from Dou Jiande for Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty and Yang Zhengdao, the son of Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, and established Yang Zhengdao as the king of Sui and succeeded Sui Ye.

At this time, Dou Jiande was actually jealous of the Turks, after all, although Dou Jiande's westward march of 300,000 horses had the element of boasting, but Dou Jiande's troops, 300,000 was a real number, but not boasting, in terms of the number of soldiers and horses, Dou Jiande was actually not weaker than Li Tang.

So, here's the problem. Once the Turks discovered that Dou Jiande was a hard bone and not easy to gnaw, and Liang Shidu was a pawn of the Turks, the Turks only had a breakthrough, either attacking the Hexi or Hetao regions of the Tang State, or attacking its Hedong region, or even Youzhou.

After all, Luo Yi is still nominally the Yan King of the Tang Kingdom and the governor of Youzhou.

No matter which direction the Turks take as a breakthrough, it is actually not important, the important thing is that Li Yuan will definitely not be able to draw troops and horses to support Li Shimin, relying on the tens of thousands of remnants of Li Shimin and Chen Ying, although the field battle is not effective, if they want to break through Luoyang, it will be difficult.

However, at this time, Wang Shichong suddenly remembered the poisonous smoke bomb in Chen Ying's hand, and said worriedly: "When will the Turks launch an attack on the Tang State, we have no choice at present, the Turks need to graze in the spring to accumulate fat for the war horses, and I think it will be until midsummer or after autumn at most, but can our Luoyang City be defended until autumn now?" ”

Duan Da was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "This ...... This is indeed a problem! ”

At this time, Wang Ren said: "The minister has a way to help His Majesty defend Luoyang City and ensure that Chen Ying'er does not dare to attack Luoyang!" ”

Wang Shichong was overjoyed when he heard this: "What way? ”

Wang Ren whispered softly in Wang Shichong's ear.

When Wang Shichong heard this, a trace of ruthlessness and hideousness appeared on his face, which made Duan Da on the side shudder.

……

In the tent of the commander of the army in the northern camp, Li Shimin stared at a circle of rivers and mountains during the Sui Dynasty, which was a treasure map hidden in the secretary and supervisor of Chang'an, Li Shimin stared at the map, especially the Turkic sphere of influence that was painted red, and frowned: "I always feel that there will be an accident in the north!" ”

"Something?" Fang Xuanling asked in surprise.

"Well, I have a hunch." Li Shimin nodded and said: "Our overall strategy before the Tang Dynasty was to attack the west and defend the east, after pacifying Xue Ju and Li Liang and occupying the land west of the river, we gave up some of the advantages that could have been won on the western front, in order to maintain the stability of the rear as much as possible, and put all the manpower and material resources into the eastward expedition." But now, the development of the east has been frustrated for the time being, and from some recent clues on the western front, it seems that the side effects of the strategy of attacking the east and defending the west are also emerging, so I think. Maybe it's time to adjust. ”

"First the west and then the east, attacking the east and defending the west" is the biggest overall strategy collectively formulated by Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Li Xiuning, Pei Lian, as well as Liu Wenjing, Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji and other heroes who opened the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Xiaoji, who went south to Bashu, was actually a partial division of the Tang Dynasty, with less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the original intention was to occupy Hanzhong and keep the gateway to the southwest of the Tang Dynasty. But he didn't expect that Li Xiaogong was like a plug-in, almost never encountered decent resistance, and in a short period of time, he took the land of the forty-three states of Bashu and won the country of abundance at once. It was in this situation that Datang's strategy did not change, but continued to attack the west first and then the east, attacking the east and defending the west.

If you want to talk about accidents, it is not nothing. In particular, Li Yuanji's loss of Hedong last year almost completely reversed the overall strategic form of Datang, and once it changed, the internal and external situation of Datang would be completely reversed. So it's not just a matter for the military anymore. Change and support in domestic affairs will also play a key role.

"Pull a hair and move the whole body!" Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "It's not a good time to change the overall strategy at this time!" ”

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "The advantages are more important than the other, and the disadvantages are lighter than the other, and now it is going to change, I am afraid that the efforts of the previous year will come to naught!" ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, this is exactly where the difficulty lies. If according to the intention of his father, Wang Shichong of the Eastern Expedition will end here, and the Tang Dynasty will stick to Hexi, and then plan for the future. Once this happens, the death of tens of thousands of Guan Zhong'er will become meaningless. ”

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly slammed his fist on the case: "Lone has decided, and he will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's face changed, and he stepped forward to persuade: "Your Highness, don't be impulsive, if your majesty doesn't like it, it will be very disadvantageous to Your Highness!" ”

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both nodded approvingly.

Li Shimin said disapprerovingly: "If something happens, bear it alone!" ”

"But ......" the eldest grandson Wuji still wanted to persuade again.

Li Shimin diverted the topic and said, "What is General Chen doing?" ”

Du Ruhui said: "Oh, General Chen is still in the prisoner camp!" ”

"Let's go...... Let's check it out! Li Shimin was the first to rush into the rain.
