Chapter 61: The King of the Sword
In the Battle of Hedong, Liu Wuzhou first attacked Yuci, then attacked Pingyao, and occupied Jiezhou. Defeated Taichang Shaoqing Li Zhongwen, left Wuwei general Jiang Baoyi, right Xiaowei general Liu Hongji. The situation in the entire Hedong region was rapidly eroding, but Chen Ying had less than 8,000 people in the four folds of the Dingyuan army, and successively conquered Shuozhou and Yanmen Pass, and the flying division raided the Weize Pass.
Although Chen Ying's command is actually not only the four Zhichong Mansions of the Dingyuan Army, but also the Lingwu Left Army and the Lingwu Right Army, a total of more than 18,000 Turkic cavalry, as well as the tenant Xiangyong under the command of the eight powerful people of Shuozhou, but in Li Jiancheng's eyes, the Turks are not people at all, just consumed materials, as long as the Tang Dynasty is willing to surrender, there are not a few Turks who want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. As for the eight powerful townsmen in Shuozhou, they are just a few people.
Li Jiancheng paid for the benefit of having an elite army in hand, and the four Zhichong Mansions of the Dingyuan Army were forcibly reorganized by Li Yuan and assigned to the remnants of the Right Xiaowei and the right Xiaowei general Liu Hongji, and they were reorganized into the new Right Xiaowei Six Zhichong Mansions, and Luo Shixin himself was also appointed as the General of the Right Xiaowei and became Liu Hongji's deputy.
Like Liu Tong, Bi Xin, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan, and Zhang Shigui became the long history of the Zuowu Guard, joined the army, or folded the captain. Even if Li Yuan did not appoint Chen Ying as the general of Zuo Wuwei, in fact, Li Jiancheng believed that with Chen Ying's skills, Liu Tong, Bi Xin, Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan, and Zhang Shigui were capable of overthrowing the new general Pang Yu of Zuo Wuwei.
Li Jiancheng has repaid this kind of advantage of having an elite army in hand, as long as Chen Ying can train the prince's left guard rate and right guard rate into an elite that is no different from the Dingyuan army, in the war with Wang Shichong after the beginning of spring next year, Li Jiancheng will definitely not let Li Shimin be the favor.
Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Chen Ying was happy and worried, he didn't have to worry about the right guard rate at all, now he is in charge of the right guard rate is Yuan Bao, but the right guard rate and the left deputy rate Gao Yunquan, the record of joining the army Ji Tong, the right deputy rate He Yuejing, the record room to join the army Du Shanguo, the right deputy rate He Yue Kyoto is Chen Ying's old department, if they were not satisfied with Chen Ying's origin in the past, at this time Chen Ying's identity of Hou Mo Chen's family has been exposed, and it is not a problem to surrender them, even if Yuan Treasure has no way to put a score in front of Chen Ying.
However, the left guard rate is Wei Ting's old department, in Wei Ting's nearly three years of operation, the left guard rate is almost inadvertent, although Chen Ying can train the left guard rate on his behalf, I am afraid that the people of the left guard rate will not be satisfied. Because, at this time, Chen Ying was not the nominal commander of the armed forces of the East Palace, and there was no way to march to them and correct military discipline.
Once the generals do not agree, this is a taboo for soldiers. Of course, if Chen Ying had absolute power, then everything would not be a problem.
Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "Wei Zuowei's rate is Jingzhao Wei's, and most of the people appointed in the army are Jingzhao Wei's protΓ©gΓ©s, and the ministers are ordered to take over the Zuowei rate, but I am afraid that they will be excluded...... The generals are not compatible, and it is difficult to make results in a short period of time. β
Chen Ying's purpose in saying this sentence is to ask Li Jiancheng for the sword of Shangfang, he needs to obtain the power of life and death over the left and right guards of the East Palace, and only with absolute prestige can he order and prohibit it, and he must practice what he says.
Li Jiancheng is also a human spirit, and after a little thought, he understood Chen Ying's concerns, Li Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "What do you think about this palace, it turns out that it is just these little things......"
A smile appeared at the corner of Li Jiancheng's mouth, so this Chen Ying is still too young to know how to hide.
Chen Ying's heart has already been revealed, if it is just training, there is no need to do it at all. Li Jiancheng, as the son of Li Yuan and the prince of the Tang Dynasty, does not dislike ambition at all, on the contrary, they like subordinates who are ambitious and do not lack ability.
When Chen Ying had been by his side to fulfill his duties, he felt inexplicably wonderful, but now, he already knew Chen Ying's purpose, he wanted to restore the glory of his ancestors and become the general of the Pillar State of the Tang Dynasty, the prince and the young master.
Li Jiancheng remembered that Li Yuan once told him a sentence, meat eaters are despised, and they fail to plan far, and Da Miao is also. Chen Ying is a meat eater, which is beyond reproach, after all, in this era, the family and the country are all over the world.
Only with a small family can we take care of everyone, and the bigger the family, the more scruples there are.
Li Jiancheng is not afraid of Chen Ying's ambition, Chen Ying is not only ambitious, but also more capable, and capable and ambitious subordinates are his best helpers.
Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying and said with a smile: "If you are below the sixth grade, you will be disposed of if you disobey the order, and if you are below the fourth grade, you will be dismissed on the spot." I wonder if Chen Qing is satisfied? β
Chen Ying waved his hand and said: "Actually, there is no need to behead them, the ministers have their own ways to make them abide by the law!" β
What Chen Ying needs is actually a right. One name is enough, if even these arrogant soldiers led by the left guard can't be subdued, Chen Ying doesn't have to mix.
In Chen Ying's heart, he also has his own little abacus. One of the reasons why he did this was, of course, to hug Li Jiancheng's thighs, which couldn't be thicker. If Li Jiancheng was not before the Xuanwu Gate, he would be the well-deserved successor of the Tang Dynasty, and it can be said that before the Xuanwu Gate Change, the most stable boat in the Tang Dynasty, he was the prince for nine years, and he was in a high position. More importantly, Chen Ying was born in a noble family, and there is an insurmountable gap between him and the generals from poor families under Li Shimin.
If Li Jiancheng had an elite army in hand that surpassed Li Shimin's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and was more elite than Li Shimin's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry at the time of the Xuanwumen Change, perhaps he would not necessarily fail, as long as Li Shimin did not immediately kill Li Jiancheng in Xuanwumen at that time, Li Shimin would be the biggest loser.
In the Tang Dynasty, at least before the Anshi Rebellion, the world was still the world of the clan lords, and if a small person wanted to take refuge in the mountain, he didn't just throw it indiscriminately, but it also depended on whether the region matched, because the township party was extremely important in these years.
Li Jiancheng's efficiency is very high, on the day Li Jiancheng returned, the prince's order reached Chen Ying's hands, Chen Ying was the prince's guest, the main East Palace was armed, and the left and right guards were under his jurisdiction.
What surprised Chen Ying the most was that the deputy leader of the left guard rate was actually Wei Chigong.
However, Chen Ying did not conduct any substantive training on the left and right guard rates, but asked them to take off their armor and use ordinary people to dig and pick soil on the construction site and act as coolies.
Zuo Wei's right deputy Wei Ling is faintly strange, Zuo Wei's generals were used by Chen as coolies, Wei Lingze was very dissatisfied, he was born in Jingzhao Wei's family, and Wei Ting's uncle in terms of seniority, and the son-in-law of Cheng Yuanya of Cheng Yuanya in Henan County, Sui. In Wei Lingze's opinion, Chen Ying was simply insulting the soldiers of Zuo Wei.
However, Wei Ting once told Wei Lingze that he had a bad relationship with Chen Ying in the past, and he must not fall into Chen Ying's hands. So despite some dissatisfaction, Wei Ling didn't dare to be the first bird.
On this day, Zuo Wei led more than 6,000 soldiers, all of whom were like mud monkeys, until it was dark, and then they called it a day. Wei Ling quietly looked at Wei Chigong, whose face was as black as charcoal: "Deputy Wei Chi, Gong Wei East Palace, we naturally have the responsibility to do so, but ...... Now, I'm waiting for this ......"
Wei Chigong looked at Wei Lingze and said lightly: "Deputy Wei, you know the soldiers of the whole army, why would they rather sweat like rain than stop and rest?" β
Wei Ling really didn't know what was going on, anyway, when he heard that Li Jiancheng transferred the left and right guards of the East Palace to Chen Ying for training, but Chen Ying used the soldiers of the whole army as labor, so he took a leave. He came out of sight.
Wei Ling asked in surprise: "Could it be that all these killers have changed their sexes?" β
Wei Chigong shook his head and said: "It's not that they have changed their sex, but that Chen Guest let the soldiers see a knife and a piece of armor, and told the soldiers of the whole army that non-warriors can't wear heavy armor and hold the king of the sword?" β
Wei Ling said in surprise: "What is the king of the sword?" β
