The people of China usually don't care who is the emperor above, but they all know that no matter who is the emperor, the taxes they should pay will not be less at all, and they should still serve in the conscription. As long as the emperor can collect a little less tax and does not snatch away their last ration, he is a good emperor.

Political indifference applies not only to the Chinese, but also to the Turks.

In the hearts of these ordinary Mandela Turks, the leader Mandela is high, they are all Mandela's property, they raise horses, they herd sheep, and in the end they all give Mandela free work. When all the vested interests of a tribe die or disappear, the remaining oppressed people will naturally appeal for benefits.

Chen Ying was merciful, he kept Mandela in the warehouse, and the moldy grain was distributed to these ordinary Mandela people, and he distributed those little ponies and lambs to them. In the hearts of these Mandela tribes, Chen Ying became their god.

As for the chieftain Mandela, he was quickly forgotten by them. Mandela would only forcibly conscript them to fight and follow Mandela to fight, as long as every time there was a war, there would definitely be casualties. All glory goes to Mandela, and all suffering is left to them. Of course, Chen Ying will also ask them to go to war, but fighting with Chen Ying is not like fighting with Mandela, because Chen Ying will clearly mark the price, cut off the head of an enemy, you can get a lamb, cut off the head of a nobleman, you can get a cow leg, cut off the head of four nobles, they can get a cow.

Spurred on by this policy, the Turks, who had just been annexed, immediately went into a frenzy. They carried knives and went all over the world to find the nobles who usually bullied them and oppressed them. As long as you find them, cut off their heads, and go to Chen Ying to exchange sheep, horses, grain, and salt...... For everything they want.

Mandela, his sons, wives, and henchmen all died, and if they did not die, the people of the Mandela tribe would not have been able to enjoy Mandela's wealth and inheritance with peace of mind.

Xu Jingzong had a very ridiculous feeling that Chen Ying was obviously the culprit, but these Turks regarded Chen Ying as a god-like existence. Obviously, they and Chen Ying should be life and death together, but Chen Ying and these Turks get along very well.

Suddenly, Xu Jingzong thought of a possibility, and a shocked look appeared on his face, Xu Jingzong felt as if he had fallen into the Nine Hells...... Chen Ying's actions on the grassland can actually be replicated, as long as he turns to the Central Plains, kills the landlords and gate lords in the Central Plains, and distributes their land, wealth and grain to the poor peasants, then Chen Ying can have an inexhaustible source of soldiers.

It seems that Li Mi did just that, and Li Mi did it very targeted, killing only officials, landlords and gate lords loyal to the Sui Dynasty, but he did not blame those who took refuge in him.

Chen Ying did not stay in the fertile field, but led the Lingwu army, the Dingyuan army continued to go north along the Yellow River valley, of course, the fleeing Turks counted, the one who couldn't run away was another Mandela department, as the battle continued, Chen Ying's troops not only did not decrease, but fought more and more, although Chen Ying seemed to send out a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, but Chen Ying got more supplies, those huge sheepskin rafts flowed endlessly on the Yellow River, and sheepskin loads full of goods or cattle and sheep were transported to Lingzhou.

When Chen Ying occupied the city of Fengzhou, he had approached 20,000 people around him, nearly half of whom were Turkic people who had just been annexed.

A spark can start a prairie fire.

Chen Ying brought the spark of civilization to the grassland, telling all grassland people that where there is oppression, there will be resistance.

Xu Jingzong saw that Chen Ying's strategy was very simple, he first ordered the Turks who had just been annexed to take the lead, if they could fight directly, they would fight, and when they couldn't be defeated, the Tang Army lancers of the Dingyuan Army would be dispatched again, as long as the lancers were dispatched, no matter how many Turks there were, they would definitely collapse at the touch of a button.

In fact, unconsciously, the combat effectiveness of the Dingyuan Army's sixth fold Chongfu hook and sickle cavalry was also invisibly amplified, and after the attack of those who belonged to the Turks, even the strongest enemy was beaten to half-crippled, and at this time the Dingyuan Army was equivalent to going up to harvest the heads.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jingzong said excitedly: "Chief, we can also change our strategy, ignore the other Turkic tribes at all, go straight to the middle palace, and go straight to the king's tent of the Lifushe!" ”

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think!" ”

Xu Jingzong was stunned.

Liu Tong was also puzzled.

Chen Ying smiled and said, "Do you think that the Sixth Fold Chongfu can sweep through the entire Turks with less than two thousand cavalry?" ”

Xu Jingzong said: "Isn't it? ”

Chen Ying sighed solemnly and said: "Although the grassland is empty, Tong Lifushi is the real lord of the grassland, and the Turks have just defeated the Tang Dynasty, whether it is military spirit or morale, it is the most vigorous time; We only have such a little soldiers and horses, and it is a guest army, if we win, it is easy to say, but as long as we fight a few defeats, these subordinate troops can not be counted on at all, and all the Turks are soldiers. ”

Chen Ying paused, he paused, turned his head and said, "What's more, no class of troops is invincible on the battlefield." Even the hook and sickle cavalry of the Dingyuan Army is the same. ”

As soon as Chen Ying's words fell, Xu Jingzong exclaimed: "How is this possible? ”

If Chen Ying encountered this kind of dense cavalry wall charge, Chen Ying would laugh off his big teeth, this seemingly terrifying army was actually not invulnerable. Concentrate the strong bow and hard crossbow of the whole army, the bed crossbow, and the eight-ox crossbow to form a three-fold crossbow array of far, medium, and near, as long as the number of people is equal, it will definitely not be Chen Ying who suffers.

Of course, even if there are not enough crossbows and hard bows, Chen Ying can also take cheap weapons and organize sharp guns with gee and spears, in this case, everyone only needs to fight for their lives, anyway, no matter how to fight, in the case of one for one, the infantry will not suffer.

If you are a little more extravagant, you can form a combined formation with sword and shield soldiers, Modao hoplites, strong bows and crossbows, and light cavalry, so that the cavalry that charges densely will shed the last drop of blood.

There is a way to eat all over the world, Chen Ying is now using his prophetic prescience to bully people, of course, he is mainly bullying the ignorance of the Turks, if he will face a strict crossbow array, spear and spear formation in the future, Chen Ying will never order the cavalry to charge, but give the order to run as far as possible.

Chen Yingdao: "The Turks will definitely have people who understand, the hook and sickle lancers are so easy to use, the Turks will also form hook and sickle lancers, and when the lancers meet the lancers, then they can only fight hard!" ”

……

In the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace in Chang'an City, the foreign ministers have retreated one after another. At this time, only Pei Lin and Li Shimin remained in the hall. At this time, Li Shimin, dressed in a military uniform and wearing a helmet, stood in front of an unfolded map, and was explaining: "The enemy thieves are sharp, and Dingxiang, Yuci, and Jiezhou have been lost one after another,...... Other places can be given up, Huzhou must be defended, this is the south gate of Hedong, as long as Huzhou is held, the army can go north along Huzhou in the future, recapture the lost territory, if Huzhou is lost, ......"

However, at this moment, Yu Yanzhang, the general of the left prison guard, handed a thin bamboo tube to Li Yuan. Li Yuan gently opened the seal, took out the small note inside, and just glanced at it, Li Yuan's face changed greatly.

Li Yuan muttered: "Huzhou, I'm afraid it's dangerous!" ”

Li Shimin said: "Father! ”

Li Yuan's face showed a thick tiredness, and he weakly handed the note to Li Shimin, only to see that the note read: "Lu Chongmao of Xia County rebelled against the Tang Dynasty according to Xia County and surrendered to Liu Wuzhou." In addition, the governor of Puzhou, Wang Xing, has moved! ”

Li Shimin immediately found Xia County and Puzhou on the map, and Li Shimin's fist slammed on the case: "Thief mother, Wang Xingben is a despicable villain!" ”

Although Li Yuan ordered Li Jiancheng to lead the war in Hedong, what made Li Yuan most helpless was that Liu Wuzhou's general Song Jingang defeated Liu Hongji, the general of the right Xiaowei of the Tang Dynasty, and the army of the right Xiaowei was almost completely annihilated. Liu Hongji fled back to Chang'an alone, and Lu Chongmao, a native of Xia County, surrendered to Song Jingang according to Xia County.

What's even worse is that according to the guards in Puzhou, Wang Xingben was also ready to surrender Liu Wuzhou according to Puzhou. This Wang Xingben was the general of the original Sui Dynasty Hedong Tongshou Yao Junsu, Yao Junsu insisted on Hedong County to resist the Tang Dynasty, and finally Wang Xingben led his troops to kill and surrender Hedong County to the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Xingben had a change there, and Li Yuan was not surprised. If it weren't for the heart of the people to surrender to the army, they would not have handed over Puzhou to Wang Xingben to garrison.

At this time, the situation of the Tang Dynasty in Hedong was extremely bad, and if Xia County and Puzhou surrendered, Huzhou (today's Yicheng County, Shanxi) would be cut off from the Tang Dynasty, so it was only a matter of time before Song Jingang attacked Huzhou. Now Haozhou Li Zhongwen is holding hard, although he has repelled Liu Wuzhou several times, but there are no Tang troops around Haozhou, Li Zhongwen is isolated, and it is a matter of time before Haozhou falls.

As long as Huzhou is lost, Datang will have no place in Hedong.

Li Yuan sighed and said: "Liu Wuzhou's soldiers are very sharp, the military power is shocking, it is difficult to compete with the front, it is better to abandon the land east of the river and guard the ...... Guanzhong."

"Don't ......"

Pei Lin and Li Shimin said in unison at the same time.

Pei Lin said: "Your Majesty, it is better to consider Ashina Mohe's proposal!" ”

The so-called Ashina Mohe's proposal is to exchange Chen Ying's head for Liu Wuzhou's retreat. Li Shimin looked anxious, he was really worried that Li Yuan would accept Pei Lian's bad idea.

If Li Yuanzhen took Chen Ying's head to calm the anger of the Turks at this time and replace Liu Wuzhou's retreat, at that time, it would no longer be a Wang Xingben, I am afraid that Li Zhongwen in Haozhou and Li Mi, Du Fuwei, Wang Bo, etc., who had just surrendered, would all surrender and rebel, let alone hold Hedong, I am afraid that Guanzhong would not be able to hold it.

Li Shimin immediately said loudly: "The foundation of the Taiyuan royal industry, the foundation of the country, the solid Hedong, and the capital of Jingyi, if you abandon it, the ministers will steal and resent, and you are willing to borrow 30,000 elites, and you will be able to calm Wu Zhou and overcome Fenjin." ”
