Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 247

"So that's the case, no wonder!" Li Yuan suddenly realized.At the beginning, he doubted Chen Ying's identity.When the imperial examination system was not fully promoted, the channels for dissemination of knowledge were very limited.

In particular, the techniques of managing soldiers, training soldiers, and using soldiers are all secrets that are not handed down by each school.Chen Ying is just a book boy serving ink, how could he know how to train soldiers, how could he have such profound attainments in the art of war, everything can be explained now.

Chen Ying is the descendant of the Hou Mo Chen family, then everything can be explained.As one of the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Hou Mochen family was the Marquis of Hou Mochen Taigudu, the fifth ancestor of Hou Mochen Chong.From Taigudu Hou, Hou Mo and Chen Chong's family have served as tribal leaders for generations.Grandfather Hou Mo Chen Yun (Hou Mo Chen Yun in "Northern History") guarded Wuchuan as a child of a good family and settled down in Wuchuan.His father, Hou Mo Chen Xing, was a general in the palace and a supervisor of Yulin.

The Hou Mo Chen family began to make a fortune in the Hou Mo Chen Chong era.When Hou Mo and Chen Chong were 15 years old, he accompanied He Bayue and Er Zhurong to conquer Ge Rong.Follow Yuantian Muping to settle Xing Gao.Then follow He Bayue to defeat Yuan Hao and Chishui Shu.After defeating Wanqi Chounu, he served as General Anbei, Doctor of Taizhong, and Governor due to his meritorious service, and was granted the title of Marquis of Linjing County.

In fact, when Hou Mo and Chen Chong were 15 years old, they had already become senior officials at the level of Jiuqing in Qin and Han Dynasties.In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, according to the "Zhou Li", there were six officials, including senior officials, senior officials, and five orders. They were like Jiuqing, Shangshu and other officials after the Qin and Han Dynasties.From this point of view, Chen Ying is still not as good as his grandfather Hou Mo and Chen Chong.

Chen Ying's art of war should be passed down in his family.If Chen Ying is from a poor family, Li Yuan is not in the mood to marry him, not even his own cousin, but Chen Ying is the grandson of Hou Mo and Chen Chong, then there is no problem at all.With the current status of the Mohou Chen family, it is still the leading wealthy family in Lingnan.

Marriage with the Hou Mo Chen family will not only allow the Tang Dynasty to be a good general, but also give the Tang Dynasty a foreseeable dawn of Jinglue Lingnan.At this time, the second son of Hou Mo Chen Chong was the former general of the Sui Dynasty, the governor of Guizhou, and the military forces of the Seventeen Prefectures, and he was granted the title of Duke of Shengping.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan said: "Jian Pei, who is the person in charge of Hou Mochen's family in Chang'an?"

Pei Ji said: "It's the second son of Hou Mo Chen Ying, Duke of Shengping County Mo Chenqianhui."

Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "Chen Ying is now the official in charge of Lingzhou, and it may not be a good thing for him to be promoted again. In the former Sui Dynasty, a decree was decreed to deprive his father, Marquis Mo Chen Rui, of his official title. I think of Chen Ying's merits and give him a posthumous gift." For the Duke of Zhu Kingdom and Qinghe County!"

"Great kindness!" Pei Ji said; "Your Majesty, the matter of marriage!"

"Leave it to you to handle it!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

……

Yanmen Pass, the night has gradually shrouded down.The heat of the day has also subsided a bit.

In Tianxing Emperor Liu Wuzhou's camp at Yanmen Pass, Liu Wuzhou was holding a bowl of sour plum soup, quietly staring at the soup bowl in a trance. "Jinzhang, I'm still not at ease. Chen Ying'er divides up 2 troops. If Loufan Pass is stormed, Loufan Pass may not be able to hold on. If Loufan is lost, Taiyuan City will have no danger to defend!"

Fan Junzhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you want the minister to lead the army to support Loufan Pass?"

Liu Wuzhou was about to nod his head, but suddenly a flash of light flashed in his head, and Liu Wuzhou suddenly said: "I almost missed a big deal!"

Fan Junzhang said; "Your Majesty means..."

Liu Wuzhou said: "What if Chen Ying's division of troops is fake, and his real purpose is not Loufan Pass, but Yanmen Pass?"

"This..." Fan Junzhang said hesitantly: "It is not impossible. Chen Ying's troops are mostly cavalry, which is convenient for maneuvering. Even if the mountain road is more than three hundred miles away, it is not a day and a half. If you see the tower If the defense is insufficient, Fan will definitely attack Lou Fan, and if Lou Fan cannot break through, he will attack Yanmen Pass instead!"

While he was talking, a military officer rushed in with disheveled clothes. He knelt down in front of Liu Wuzhou and screamed repeatedly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is not good... Then... that Chen ...the city is under siege?"

Fan Junzhang seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed loudly: "Yanmen Pass is more than ten miles around, and there is not an inch of wood. What kind of attack does Chen Ying use?"

Liu Wuzhou said: "What kind of attack is used, you will know if you don't see it!"

Fan Junzhang nodded and said, "Yes!"

Although Liu Wuzhou is just a straw king, he is not small in appearance.He also has the emperor's guard of honor. A large group of eunuchs and court maids walked up to Yanmen Pass with incense burners and barrier fans.

When he came to Guancheng, Liu Wuzhou was also taken aback.

I saw that under the city, Tang Jun densely arranged more than 3 horses.Although the soldiers of the Tang army did not start to attack the city at this time, there were quite a few people.

"Sure enough, it's Chen Ying'er playing tricks!" Liu Wuzhou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Fortunately, I saw through his tricks in advance, otherwise I would have suffered a lot!"

"It's not right, it's not right!" Fan Junzhang pointed to the densely packed Tang army officers and men with shaking heads: "These Tang soldiers seem to be different from the original Tang army!"

Liu Wuzhou took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case.

Although Da Tao is still the Da Tao of the Tang Dynasty, less than one-third of these so-called Tang Army officers and soldiers wear Tang Army standard armor, and most of them actually wear ordinary people's clothes.Although the armor rate of the Tang army may not be [-]% like that of the right guard, these Tang army officers and soldiers don't even have Tang army uniforms.As for the weapons in their hands, they are even more varied.

Liu Wuzhou said: "Where did Chen Ying's soldiers come from?"

Fan Junzhang was also at a loss.

In fact, if Liu Wuzhou knew the source of Chen Ying's soldiers and horses, he might be so angry that he would vomit blood.

In fact, Chen Ying also felt baffled. When he captured Shuozhou, he got only three or four thousand surviving civilians in the three counties of Shuozhou.More than [-]% of these people are old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, as Chen Ying recovered the whole territory of Shuozhou, his soldiers approached the city of Yanmen Pass.At this time, a large number of people suddenly appeared. At the beginning, there were only hundreds or thousands of people. However, in just one day, more than 2 people gathered under the banner of Chen Ying's "Tang" character. [-] people.

These [-] young and strong are basically composed of the children of the six wealthy families in Shuozhou or their vassal families. In Shuozhou, the Zhao family is the first, followed by the Xu family, and the Guo, Dong, Ren, and Feng families are slightly smaller.

The Zhao family, Zhao Boying, led seven sons, a total of more than [-] young and strong, who directly joined Chen Ying's command.Xu Caifu of the Xu family led three sons with a total of more than [-] young and strong, and others such as Guo Rui led more than [-] people to join Chen Ying.

In fact, Zhao Boying, Guo Rui, Dong An, Ren Bi, and Feng Kelan took refuge in Chen Ying, not because Chen Ying expected them to, but because they were annoyed that Liu Wuzhou persecuted them too much. Seeing Shuozhou change hands, the six major families together did not hesitate to pay any price. , Help Chen Ying gain a firm foothold in Shuozhou.
