Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 127 The Rise of the Tang Dynasty
"Your official is reckless!" Yang Ze saluted Chen Ying respectfully.

"The imperial court also has its difficulties!" Chen Ying said indifferently: "Now Chang'an has no armored soldiers and the treasury is empty. It's really unbearable!"

Yang Ze let out a long sigh and was speechless for a long time.As the governor of Lingzhou, Lingzhou City has been trapped for more than three months, and there have been heavy casualties in the city. When encountering these Turkic soldiers, they wish to kill them quickly.But he also understood that what Chen Ying said was very reasonable.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Lingzhou is the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty (temporary), and the transportation of food and grass is very difficult. If ten shi of grain is transported from Chang'an, at least five or six shi need to be consumed on the road.There are four lower mansions under the Lingzhou General Manager's Mansion, mainly because no matter how many troops there are, the court's logistics supplies cannot keep up.

However, once the Turks counterattacked with all their strength, the troops of the four lower mansions would not be able to reach them at all.Long-term confrontation must be a very heavy burden for Datang.

It wasn't until this moment that Yang Ze paid attention to such a handsome and feminine Mr. Chen. He had a very bad impression of Chen Ying. He always thought that it was because of their identities and status that Chen Ying could become a dignified fourth-rank military officer.However, it is especially rare for Chen Ying to be able to guard against haste and impetuosity in his weak years.

If it is based on his own temperament, Chen Ying also wants to slash and kill, but what about after killing?War has always been a continuation of politics, and what cannot be obtained on the battlefield can be obtained on the negotiating table.

Now Datang can't afford to fight, in fact Turkic can't afford to fight either.If it weren't for the fact that Shibi Khan's body was not as good as before, the Turkic people would definitely not be so restrained.I am afraid that as early as the end of October in Liang Shidu, they were unable to attack Lingzhou, and Lingzhou entered a stalemate.

Chen Ying pointed to Lingzhou City Road: "In the fourth year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Lingzhou County was established here, which belongs to Beidi County. Lingzhou has a history of more than 800 years. The surrounding land is fertile and rich in water and soil. If there is no war, it can support many people. There are [-] people, and there are only [-] households in Lingzhou right now, and the garrison cannot support itself with food and grass, and the imperial court may not be able to help them."

Entering the second year of Wude, the relationship between Datang and Wang Shichong is about to start in the Central Plains Zhuolu, that is to say, all the center of gravity of the future Datang will move to the hinterland of the Central Plains.For the remote Lingzhou, its importance is less than one-tenth that of Luoyang.

Yang Ze let out a long sigh and said: "The people's livelihood in Lingzhou is quite difficult. Men, women, old and young all work hard, and everyone is simple, but they are not greedy for life and pleasure. But if we fight together, a year of hard work will be wasted."

"So, these captives are very interested!" Chen Yingdao: "These are all hostages, and they are also meat tickets. As long as they dare to come to the city of Lingzhou, the chief will tear up the tickets!"

Yang Ze looked at Chen Ying in surprise.I wondered in my heart, the dignified and loyal general of the imperial court could not be recruited by a bandit, right?How do you talk like a bandit?

Yang Ze definitely didn't know that Chen Ying could not only say it, but also act it out.

In the end, Luo Shixin and Yu Guni followed the Turkic troops for more than 1 miles, and they didn't withdraw their troops until they ran out of horsepower.After a rough count, the battle captured a lot, with more than [-] beheaded and more than [-] prisoners.However, not many other materials were seized, nearly [-] war horses were harvested, and there were also a lot of weapons and armor.

What surprised Chen Ying the most was that Luo Shixin actually caught the Turkic Yi Wuzhen Mo.

Chen Ying really didn't know that Yi Wu Zhen Mo was one of the four great leaf guards of the Eastern Turkic Khanate.

Seeing that Chen Ying didn't pay much attention to Yi Wuzhen Mo, Yu Guni immediately stepped forward and said, "So that the manager can know that this person is one of the four great leaf guards of the Turkic Khanate!"

Du Shanguo told Chen Ying what Yu Guni said, but Chen Ying still didn't react.

Yang Ze was overjoyed.

"A mere prisoner, what are you doing?" Seeing that everyone was ecstatic, Chen Ying said with a disapproving smile, "It's so rare!"

Yang Zedao: "Mr. Chen, you don't know something. This Turkic Ye Hu is Ye Hu Khan. His status is second only to Khan. If it is converted into the official system of our Tang Dynasty, this Ye Hu Khan is equivalent to the prince of the Eastern Palace. Status, you can inherit the position of Khan!"

"Hold the grass! So awesome!" Chen Ying thought to himself that he had made a lot of money.

……

Huaiyuan, Turkic Khan Tent.Until the New Year's Eve of the first year of Wude, Shibi Khan finally got the news that Ashina Yiwuzhen Moyehu Khan was defeated and captured.As the saying goes, good people don't pay for their lives, but evil people can live for thousands of years.When Li Fu saw that he was the fastest to escape, and he had Bu Lugen desperately protecting him, he finally escaped Luo Shixin's pursuit.

When they arrived at Wild Boar Ridge, Tilever set up the remnants of the cage.Originally, Yi Wuzhen Mo had more than [-] string-controlling soldiers, plus nearly [-] Tuojie cavalry, a total of more than [-] people.In addition to the fact that Qi Lifu set up the headquarters, there were only more than [-] people who returned to Yezhuling.

The food set up by Li Fu was very ugly. He gathered all the defeated soldiers and asked them one by one. Those who surrendered prospered and those who rebelled died. .

In the process of reporting to Shibi Khan, the battle of Lingzhou in the first year of Wude turned into Yi Wu Zhen Mo underestimated the enemy's carelessness, insisted on going his own way, and did not listen to his loyal advice from Li Fu, and was hit head-on by the Tang army. At the critical moment, It's not easy to fear the enemy and retreat first, the morale of the entire army is frustrated, and the retreat has turned into a rout.

If he hadn't caught up with Li Fu in time and tried his best to stop the Tang army's pursuit, I'm afraid Yiwuzhenmo's [-] men would not be able to escape.

Speaking of this, Tuli Fushe was in tears. Seeing that Qi Lifushe was covered in blood, and there was almost no good meat, Shibi Khan was furious: "Yi Wuzhen is not afraid of the enemy, his crime should be punished." , the whole family was assigned as slaves, and his subordinates, Li Fu, set up a leader."

With the official decision of Shibi Khan, this time the Battle of Lingzhou, the Turkic Four Yehu, now became one of the three Yehu Li Fushe not only embezzled more than [-] soldiers of Yiwuzhenmo, but also Obtained more than [-] tribes from Yi Wuzhen Mo's tribal tribe, and Li Fu set up a sudden change, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and more than [-] tribal tribes.

Li Fushe turned out to be the winner.

At this time, Shibi Khan had sent someone to Chang'an to question Li Yuan whether he wanted to trigger a national war between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, but now it seems that the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of a war with the Turks.

Could it be that Datang is now so powerful that it is not afraid of the Turks?
Datang has such a powerful force?Turkic four major leaf guards, and two major leaf guards were defeated one after another. Does it have to let his [-] attached troops go into battle in person to have a chance?

It was originally thought that when the Tang Dynasty was established at the beginning, people's hearts were unstable and financial resources were lacking.

Could it be that after the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty re-emerged?
Shibi Khan thought it was possible. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Turks repeatedly went south to invade the border. Yang Jian, who was the prime minister at the time, was also struggling to deal with it. However, who would have thought that just a few years later, Yang Jian would usurp the throne and establish the Sui Dynasty. , In one fell swoop, he went south to destroy the Chen State, unified the world, and attacked the Turks in the north.

As one of the most powerful traditional powers in the world, it is only natural for China to take a few years to restore its national strength and re-emerge.

"We can't act rashly now, we have to re-plan for Datang."
