Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 213

People in China usually don't care about who is the emperor above, but they all know that no matter who is the emperor, they should pay no less taxes at all, and they still have to serve corvee.As long as the tax can be reduced, the emperor who does not take away their last rations is a good emperor.

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

In the hearts of these ordinary Turkic people in the Mandela tribe, the leader Mandela is aloof. They are all Mandela's property, they raise horses, they herd sheep, and in the end they all work for Mandela for free.As the saying goes, those without property have no perseverance. When all the vested interests of a tribe die or disappear, the remaining oppressed people will naturally put forward their interests.

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

As for the leader, Mandela, he was quickly forgotten by them.Mandela would only force them to go to war and follow Mandela to fight. As long as there is a war every time, there will be casualties.All glory to Mandela, all suffering to them.Of course, Chen Ying will also ask them to fight, 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, and cut off the head of a nobleman , you can get a cow leg, cut off the heads of four nobles, they can get a cow.

Stimulated by this policy, those Turkic people who had just surrendered immediately went crazy.They carried knives and went all over the world to find the nobles who bullied them and oppressed them.Just find them, cut off their heads, and go to Chen Ying to exchange sheep, horses, grain, salt... anything they want.

Mandela and Mandela's sons, wives and concubines, and confidantes all died. If they did not die, the people of the Mandela tribe would have no way to enjoy Mandela's wealth and inheritance with peace of mind.

Xu Jingzong had a very absurd feeling that Chen Ying was clearly the culprit, but these Turkic people regarded Chen Ying as a god-like existence.It was obvious that they and Chen Ying should live and die together, but Chen Ying got along very well with these Turkic people.

Suddenly, Xu Jingzong thought of a possibility, with a horrified expression on his face, Xu Jingzong felt as if he had fallen into the hell of the Nine Hells... Chen Ying's actions on the grassland can actually be copied, as long as he turns to the Central Plains, the landlords of the Central Plains, Kill all the powerful people and distribute their land, wealth and food to poor farmers, so that Chen Ying can have an inexhaustible source of soldiers.

It seems that Li Mi did just that. What Li Mi did was very targeted. He only killed officials, landlords, and clans loyal to the Sui Dynasty, but he ignored those who took refuge in him.

Chen Ying did not stay in Woye, but led the Lingwu Army and Dingyuan Army to continue northward along the Yellow River valley. Continuing, Chen Ying's troops not only did not decrease, but they fought more and more. Although Chen Ying seemed to have sent out a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, Chen Ying received more supplies. Goods or sheepskin carriers of cattle and sheep are transported to Lingzhou.

When Chen Ying occupied Fengzhou City, there were already close to 2 people around him, and nearly half of them were Turkic people who had just joined.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Chen Ying brought the spark of civilization to the grassland and told 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 Turkic people who had just surrendered to take the lead. If they could be defeated directly, they would fight. How many Turkic people must be defeated at the first touch.

In fact, unknowingly, the combat power of the Chongfu hook and sickle cavalry of the sixth fold of the Dingyuan Army was also invisible. The Dingyuan army is equivalent to going up to harvest heads.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jingzong said excitedly: "Boss, we can also change our strategy, completely ignore other Turkic tribes, and go straight to the palace, and go straight to the king's tent set up by Lifu!"

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

Xu Jingzong was stunned.

Liu Tong was also puzzled.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "Do you think the sixth fold can sweep the entire Turkic army with less than [-] cavalry?"

Xu Jingzong said: "Isn't it?"

Chen Ying sighed solemnly and said: "Although the grassland is empty, Tilifushe is the real lord of the grassland. Moreover, the Turks have just defeated the Tang Dynasty. Both the morale and morale of the Turks are the most prosperous. At that time; we only had such a small number of soldiers and horses, and we were guest troops. It would be okay if we won, but as long as we lost a few battles, these subordinate troops could not be counted on at all. The entire Turkic people were soldiers. Retreat, we will not be able to catch up with him for a while, and we will not be able to open up the situation in a short period of time. We will stop our troops on the prairie and cannot advance or retreat. This is a big taboo for military strategists."

Chen Ying paused, he paused, then turned his head and said, "What's more, no army is invincible on the battlefield. Even the Dingyuan army's hooked and sickle cavalry is the same."

As soon as Chen Ying finished speaking, Xu Jingzong exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

If Chen Ying encountered such a dense cavalry wall charging, Chen Ying would laugh his teeth out. This seemingly terrifying army is actually not invulnerable.Concentrate the strong bows and crossbows of the whole army, bed crossbows, and eight bull crossbows to form a three-fold crossbow formation of far, middle, 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 still use cheap weapons to organize a forest of sharp guns with spears and spears. In this case, everyone only needs to fight for their lives. In a one-for-one situation, the infantry will not suffer.

If it is more extravagant, use swords and shields, Modao heavy infantry, strong bows and crossbows, and light cavalry to form a joint army, so that the intensively charged cavalry will shed the last drop of blood.

Youdao is a trick that is popular all over the world. Chen Ying is using his foresight to bully people. Of course, he is mainly bullying the ignorance of the Turkic people. Should never order the cavalry to charge, but to run as far as possible.

Chen Yingdao: "The Turkic will definitely have people who understand. The hooked lancers are so useful, and the Turks will also form the hooked lancers. When the lancers meet the lancers, they can only do their best!"

……

In the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace in Chang'an City, the foreign ministers have retreated one after another.At this time, only Pei Ji and Li Shimin were left in the hall.At this time, Li Shimin was wearing a military uniform and a helmet, standing in front of a spread out map, and was explaining: "The enemy's bandits are sharp, and Dingxiang, Yuci, and Jiezhou have fallen one after another. . . . Give up, Weizhou must be guarded, this is the south gate of Hedong, as long as you guard Weizhou, in the future the army can go north along Weizhou to regain the lost land, if Weizhou is lost..."

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

Li Yuan murmured, "Huizhou, I'm afraid it's dangerous!"

Li Shimin said: "Father!"

Li Yuan showed deep tiredness on his face, and handed the note to Li Shimin feebly, only to see that it read: "Lu Chongmao of Xia County rebelled against the Tang Dynasty according to Xia County and surrendered to Liu Wuzhou. In addition, Wang Xingben, the general manager of Puzhou, has Change!"

Li Shimin immediately found Xia County and Puzhou on the map, and Li Shimin slammed his fist heavily on the table: "Thief, Wang Xingben, this despicable villain!"

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

What's even worse is that Wang Xingben, the general guarding Puzhou, is also planning to surrender Liu Wuzhou according to Puzhou.This Wang Xingben was the general of Yao Junsu, who was the general guard of Hedong in the Sui Dynasty. Yao Junsu firmly defended Hedong County against the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan was not surprised that there was a change in Wang Xingben's place.If it wasn't for the sake of peace and surrender, Puzhou would not have been handed over to Wang Xingben to garrison.

At this time, the situation in the Tang Dynasty in Hedong was extremely bad. If Xia County and Puzhou surrendered, Huizhou (now Yicheng County, Shanxi) would be cut off from Datang. In this way, it would only be time for Song Jingang to break through Huizhou question.Now Li Zhongwen in Haozhou is holding on. Although Liu Wuzhou has been repelled several times, there are no Tang troops around Haozhou. Li Zhongwen is isolated and helpless. It is also a matter of time before Haozhou falls.

As long as Huizhou is lost, Datang will have no foothold in Hedong.

Li Yuan sighed and said: "Liu Wu Zhou's army is very sharp, and his army is powerful and powerful. It is difficult to compete with him. It is better to abandon the land east of the river and guard the central pass..."

"No..."

Pei Ji and Li Shimin both said no at the same time.

Pei Ji said: "Your Majesty, why not consider Ashina Mohe's proposal!"

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

If at this time Li Yuan really used Chen Ying's head to appease the anger of the Turks and exchange for Liu Wuzhou's retreat, at that time, he would no longer be a rebellious Wang Xingben. I am afraid that Li Zhongwen of Haozhou and Li Mi, Du Fuwei, and Wang Bo who had just surrendered When the rebellion is surrendered, let alone guarding Hedong, I am afraid that Guanzhong will not be able to defend it.

Li Shimin immediately said: "The foundation of Taiyuan's king's industry is the foundation of the country. Hedong is rich and rich, and the capital of Beijing is capital. If you abandon it, you will be resentful. If you borrow [-] elites, you will be able to destroy Wu Zhou and overcome Fen and Jin." .”
