Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 196 Recommending Xu Shiji (Third)

In fact, whoever goes to Jinyang is better than Li Jiancheng.Chen Ying knows that all nomads are of the same sex.Chuluo Khan has just ascended to the Khan position, and he must fight a big victory as soon as possible to establish his prestige. With this big victory to deter the internal forces of the Eastern Turkic Khanate, even if there is no Princess Yicheng to confuse him, he will still fight .

Lingzhou has its own position, and before Chen Ying is settled, Lingzhou will definitely not be the direction of breakthrough for the East Turkic Khanate.Hexi is Li Gui’s territory, and Li Gui is a dog of East Turkic. This dog is still useful for the time being. Therefore, Eastern Turkic must give priority to abandoning the land of Hexi. Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou are all lackeys who surrendered to Eastern Turkic. They must spare no effort to attack Jinyang first.

Hedong and Youzhou will be the key breakthrough targets of the Turks.In this time and space, what is more dangerous than the original historical time and space is that the forces of the Eastern Turks are more concentrated, and of course the impact will be greater.Coupled with the fact that Li Yuanji is a scammer, he caused complaints in Jinyang, the soldiers were at odds, and he had already lost three points before the battle. Even if Li Jiancheng went to Hedong, he would just take the blame.

Then again, as long as Li Jiancheng fails, the loss of prestige is not small, and it can be "proven" that Li Shimin is indeed stronger than Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng will be at a disadvantage in this struggle for succession.There are only so many positions in total. Once Li Shimin's power rises, the position of the commander of Lingzhou soldiers and horses will also have the advantage of arranging Li Shimin's people. Helping Li Jiancheng is actually helping Chen Ying himself.

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Sanniang can control Sanhu (Li Yuanji's small characters), but..." Li Jiancheng frowned and muttered to himself: "Don't talk about this, let's drink!"

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng and knew that Li Jiancheng didn't listen to his words at all.

Chen Ying also sighed: "If His Royal Highness wants to go to Jinyang, it's not necessarily impossible, but if you take someone with you, you can make a great contribution!"

"Who?"

"The East Palace washes Wei Zheng!"

"Wei Zheng?" Li Jiancheng was stunned and said, "He is not the director of military affairs!"

Chen Ying nodded solemnly and said: "Although Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng are not good at military affairs, Wei Zheng can persuade another person who is good at military affairs, and this person, His Royal Highness, has heard of this person!"

Li Jiancheng said: "You mean!"

Chen Yingdao: "Xu Shiji, a Lihu man from Caozhou (Xu Maogong in the Romance)"

Li Jiancheng said: "You mean Xu Shiji who raided Liyangcang with five thousand mobs, recruited 20 soldiers in ten days, and was later worshiped by the Sui court officials as General Youwuhou,"

"Not bad!" Chen Yingdao: "Xu Shiji defended Liyang with less than [-] weak troops, and was besieged by Yu Wenhua and tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Excellent training, excellent training, no one in the world can control them, but the battle of Li Yang, the battle of Xu Shiji, wiped out Yu Wenhua and the elite army..."

"But Xu Shiji is now loyal to the emperor!" Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "But now that he is officially named Youwuhou General (third rank), how can he easily surrender to Tang?"

Chen Yingdao: "If you are an ordinary lobbyist, it will be very difficult to persuade Xu Shiji. If Wei Zheng advances, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. If His Royal Highness has Xu Shiji's help, the siege of Jinzhou will be nothing to worry about. Moreover, taking Liyang is a major event in the Tang Dynasty. Can be expected!"

As Chen Ying said, he picked up a branch and drew on the ground a tripartite power map of Wang Shichong of Henan (south of the Yellow River), Dou Jiande of Hebei (north of the Yellow River), and Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong.

Chen Ying pointed to Li Yang and said, "Li Yang is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, at the junction of Hebei, Yan, and Henan. , water transport is extremely convenient.”

Li Jiancheng is also a great soldier, after Chen Ying's reminder, he suddenly realized: "In this way, if Wang Shichong wins Liyang, he can keep his rear safe and focus on his things.

Chen Yingdao: "What His Royal Highness said is very true. If Dou Jiande wins Liyang, he will occupy an invincible position, and then attack Hanoi and Bingzhou. He can even send troops to the north to threaten Taiyuan. He can also go south to threaten Wang Shichong."

Li Jiancheng said: "Li Yang must not be lost, otherwise the Tang Dynasty's attack on the Central Plains will be sluggish, and it will be completely passive, and the entire Hedong will be in turmoil. If Li Yang is obtained by Dou Jiande, he can attack Hanoi in the west, threaten Taiyuan in the north, and go south. Press Heluo and stand in an invincible position. If Wang Shichong gets Liyang, he can ensure that he has nothing to worry about, and he can go south with all his strength and go straight to the prosperous land of Jingxiang."

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "That's right, it can be said that Li Yang is a key chess piece that determines the political situation of the three kingdoms in the world.

Li Jiancheng's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said excitedly: "If the Tang Dynasty wins Liyang, can they attack Henan?
Chen Yingdao: "It's not just Henan, there is a term in Go, it's called Golden Horn and Silver Border Grass Belly...!
Li Jiancheng nodded: "Well, I've heard of it."

Chen Yingdao: "The situation in the world is like chess, with corners, sides and belly. Longyou and Ganliang are located in the northwest; Guanzhong and Bashu are connected across the southwest, forming two corners; now that we have the golden corner in the Tang Dynasty, if we have Liyang, It is to get the silver edge again and unify the world, just around the corner.”

Li Jiancheng said: "Li Yang, you must have it!"

Chen Yingdao: "His Royal Highness, Jinyang has His Royal Highness King Qi sitting in the formation, and His Majesty's tens of thousands of elite soldiers are defending. There is no shortage of food, armor, and equipment. For the time being, there is no need to worry about it. Li Yang is the most important thing. If His Royal Highness uses Wei Zheng as an envoy , go to Li Yang, lobby Xu Shiji, then Li Yang will be at your fingertips!"

"But, this Xu Shiji..." Li Jiancheng said, "Will Xu Shiji agree?"

"Leave this aside for now, why don't you ask Wei Zheng first, Your Highness?"

Li Jiancheng nodded.

……

Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng were benevolent. In Chen Ying's mind, with the help of Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Wang Gui, Li Gang, Xue Wanche, Feng Li, Xu Shiji and others in Wen, Li Jiancheng should not lose too badly.

On the official road heading north from Chang'an to Lingzhou, Zhao Chunyang led the Yueqi regiment to march into the night under the moonlight, and the soldiers' armor radiated a cold light under the moonlight.After Chen Ying bid farewell to Li Jiancheng, he did not stop. In two days and two nights, more than [-] and [-] generals of the Yueqi regiment ran for more than [-] li, from Gaoping County.

On March [-]th, the second year of Wude, the moonlight was bright and clear, and the official road was as clear as washing. Chen Yingsuo, who had taken a rest at the Jieguan Pavilion outside Gaoping County, took advantage of the bright moonlight to gallop away on a moonlit night and marched towards the Sixth Formation. Panshan Qingshui River Valley.

Chen Ying was not sitting in the carriage, he, Zhao Chunyang and Xu Jingzong rode slowly at the front of the team.Suddenly Chen Ying reined in the reins. He was wearing scale armor. The scale-like steel armor refracted a bright luster under the moonlight. He grabbed the reins with one hand and habitually pressed the saber at his waist with the other. His eyes were piercing. There are eyes, like the sharp eagle eyes in the night, looking at the dark valley ahead, as if looking for prey to hide in the night.

Xu Jingzong looked at Chen Ying wearily, and was about to speak, when Chen Ying raised his finger and put it to his mouth.

The soldiers of the Yue cavalry regiment were on full alert, and the battle formation was completely dispersed.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes in the distance sounded like rolling thunder in the valley.A large group of cavalry came galloping along the valley, and when Chen Ying was about to order a charge, they rode out more and more. When Chen Ying saw who was coming, he suddenly felt that his scalp was a lot bigger.

The person who came was none other than Li Daozong's own sister, Li Daozhen, the head of Baicheng County!
