Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 478 Silence is better than sound

Chapter [-] Silence speaks louder now
Chen Ying didn't pay attention to Luoyang City, and didn't care how Zheng Jun's army in Luoyang City reacted. If they dared to attack, Chen Ying didn't mind showing Zheng Jun some color.This is not due to Chen Ying's blind self-confidence, but because he has the confidence and strength.

The soldiers and horses under Chen Ying's command slowly advanced along the muddy official road.It seems that there is no attack on Luoyang, Wang Shichong looked at the back of Chen Ying's army, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

"It's dangerous. We haven't come out of the shadow of the big defeat. Once a fierce battle breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Wang Shiyun said with lingering fear: "At this time, what is Chen Ying doing with so many troops going east?"

"There is only one possibility!" Wang Shichong said with a frown, "Li Shimin must have received the news of the Xia army's westward advance!"

Wang Xuanying said angrily: ""What a pity, if Li Shimin got the news a few days later, Li Shimin would definitely be caught off guard by then! "

Wang Shichong glanced at Wang Xuanying, really speechless.

Wang Shiyun bowed and explained to Wang Xuanying: "Your Highness the Crown Prince does not know something. King Xia led two to three million elites to march westward, and the big country has a battalion for dozens of miles. The momentum is earth-shattering. It is absolutely impossible to hide it from Tang's eyeliner and secret work."

Wang Xuanying suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, I was taught alone!"

"Teach me ass!" Wang Shichong said impatiently: "I don't know where you have read all the books for so many years. Could it be that you read all the books on dogs?"

Wang Xuanying said aggrievedly: "Father, this minister is the prince of the Dazheng Kingdom, you should give him some face!"

"Fanmian, do you still know about face?" Hearing this, Wang Shichong was furious.Wang Shichong was so angry that he cursed: "A raw pig is better than you..."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Wang Shichong realized that he was scolding Wang Xuanying now, and he also scolded himself.

Wang Shiyun said, "Your Majesty, this is not an opportunity!"

"Oh!" Wang Shichong was interrupted by Wang Shiyun, and immediately ignored Wang Xuanying.Wang Shichong looked at Wang Shiyun and said, "What opportunity?"

"Facts have already proved that Li Shimin's son is nothing to worry about. In the Tang camp, the only one who is worried about is Chen Ying's son. Now Chen Ying's son must go to Revolving Gate Pass or Hulao Pass to stop Xia's army!" Wang Shiyun leisurely He laughed and said, "Nowadays, Li Shimin only has tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled children. What else can he use to fight us?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shichong beamed with joy: "Let's go back to the palace, let's have a good discussion..."

While Wang Shichong and Wang Shiyun were discussing how to deal with Li Shimin, Chen Ying led the vanguard and marched mightily.Just after leaving Luoyang, Chen Ying entered the four-wheeled carriage.

Since coming to Longmen to rescue Li Shimin, Chen Ying has been fighting continuously for the past few days, and he is really exhausted.Lying on a soft pillow and wearing a fox fur, Chen Ying soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long Chen Ying slept. Chen Ying was suddenly awakened by bursts of heart-piercing cries. Chen Ying hurriedly got up, lifted the curtain, and rushed out of the car and asked, "What's going on in front?"

Ashina Simo came galloping on his horse, he got off his horse, and jumped onto the carriageway neatly: "Report to the Lord, there are a group of fleeing people ahead."

Chen Ying stepped down from the carriage and fixed his eyes to see that a large number of ordinary people came to support the old and the young, dragging their families from east to west.

In ancient times, refugees were the early warning signal of the enemy's attack. Refugees could always rush into one's own line of defense before the enemy.Chen Ying frowned and said, "Where are you now?"

Ashina Simo pointed to the east and said, "This place is still thirty miles away from Yanshi?"

Chen Ying was slightly taken aback, and said, "Dou Jiande's army came so fast?"

Seeing these ordinary people must have been terrified. They all fled desperately. The children could not find their parents, the mothers could not find their children, and the old people had no one to rely on, crying loudly all the way.

Chen Ying was startled: "Could it be that Yanshi has already fallen?"

Chen Ying rushed to an old man, Chen Ying bowed his hands and said, "Old man, where are you from?"

The old man saw that Chen Ying was wearing armor and coming under the guard of wolf-like soldiers. Although this old man had not seen much in the world, he could tell from Chen Ying's appearance that Chen Ying's identity was unusual.

The old man said timidly: "We came from Yanshi..."

"What happened to Yanshi?"

The old man trembled and worked hard for a while, and then he explained the cause and effect clearly in Henan dialect. Due to the twists and turns in the Tang Dynasty in this war, especially with Li Shimin's defeat, the prefectural and county officials surrendered and rebelled. Fang Xinbo, the county magistrate, had just surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and later he heard that the Tang Dynasty was defeated, and he didn't want to be a villain who faced Qin Muchu, so he found a rope and hanged himself in the county government office.

Due to the death of the county magistrate, all the yamen servants and county magistrates abandoned their officials and fled. In a short period of time, Yanshi County became anarchic. At the beginning, some local hooligans began to rob the weak. Slowly, these bad cases were like a plague. It quickly spread and formed a chain reaction.

Yanshi City has turned into a sea of ​​flames. Dozens of corpses are lying on the street. Women's cries and screams can be heard from the streets and alleys, as well as the wild laughter of hooligans. Scurrying around in the house, searching for belongings, people were being killed constantly, and the whole city of Yanshi became a hell.

In order to escape for their lives, the people of Yanshi had to flee outside the city.

When Chen Ying heard that this was the case, he immediately gave an order: "Ashina Simo, lead the rangers to march forward lightly and take control of Yanshi County. If you encounter resistance and riots, you will be killed."

The army under Chen Ying's command was full of gunpoints, and the people saw a large-scale army, and their crying stopped abruptly. All the refugees stared blankly at the mighty army that was coming.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, don't even think about how good the military discipline of the army would be. In fact, in many cases, the army was worse than the bandits.However, they couldn't believe their eyes when they saw that these troops were innocent.

They flashed to the side of the road in panic, and some pretty women hid in the crowd like ostriches. Experience told them that officers and soldiers are not much better than bandits, and even worse than bandits, and they will suffer if they are not careful!
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers acted as if they hadn't seen them. They marched forward in three columns, with their heads held high and their chests held high, as if they hadn't seen them. Falling down, stepping out of a strange rhythm, the whole army is as neat as marching between two straight ropes.

This kind of silence is reassuring. After about half of the troops passed by, the common people became more courageous, and there were many discussions: "Who led this soldier? The military discipline is really strict. So many people didn't even say a word, or even Take a look at us!"

A man who looked like a scholar said: "Duke Liang of the Tang Dynasty, the champion general Chen!"

A man who looked like a squire smiled and said, "I don't know, do you? They are all soldiers of the champion general. The champion general, Chen Da, is terrible. He led four thousand troops in Lingzhou to kill the Tatars There are tens of thousands of Turks, who were rewarded by Li Guozhu. They are all soldiers trained by him!"

"Soldiers from the Li family of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes?"

"It would be great if every officer and soldier was like them! A few more troops with such strict military discipline, do we still need to suffer so much?"

"I don't know if they can beat the bandits..."

"Nonsense, you can tell by their aura that they are an army of tigers and wolves. Those mobs are no match for General Chen. Didn't you see how many people there are in General Chen?"

Looking at these terrified common people, Chen Ying heaved a long sigh.

It wasn't that Li Xiuning was tired from riding a horse, but that she really couldn't see these homeless people, the children were crying, the adults were yelling, and the miserable appearance made Li Xiuning feel very sad.

In desperation, Li Xiuning just rode to Chen Ying's carriage and boarded Chen Ying's carriage.

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning with joy and said, "San Niang, are you tired? Come in and sit down."

With that said, Chen Ying got up to get out of the way on the soft couch.Li Xiuning sat on the soft couch with a tired expression.

Chen Ying hurriedly picked up the kettle and poured Li Xiuning a cup of tea.

Li Xiuning shook her head.

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning's appearance, and said distressedly: "San Niang, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

Li Xiuning said: "In my heart... You said that the people on the official road, when will their hard life end?"

Chen Ying sighed and said: "The peaks and mountains are like clusters, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are outside and inside Tongguan Road, looking at the western capital, hesitant, sad, where the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been made of earth, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer ..."

"The prosperity of the people is suffering, and the death of the people is suffering!" A blur appeared in Li Xiuning's eyes.

Chen Yingdao: "The hardships of the common people are coming to an end, when we finish this battle, they will have a better life!"

"Will it be?" Li Xiuning felt very tired in her heart.

Chen Yingdao: "I will definitely, trust me!"

Unknowingly, Chen Ying's hand held Li Xiuning's hand tightly.Li Xiuning's body softened, and she leaned gently on Chen Ying's shoulder.

The silence speaks.

……

Xiangzhou Linlu Mountain is connected to Taihang in the south and Hengyue in the north.At this time, on one of the small peaks in Lin Lu Mountain, thick smoke billowed, and the screams of killing shook the sky.

One side of Da Tao, the Shangshu of Hebei Dao Xingtai in the Tang Dynasty, hangs weakly on the flagpole.

The soldiers of the Tang army fell on the hillside in disorder, and the rocks and soil were already stained red with blood.From the bottom of the mountain came the wanton and arrogant laughter of the Yanzhao man, and Li Shentong, the king of Yongkang County, looked palely at the Xia Kingdom's army that was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the mountain.

In fact, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty did not fail to consider the variable of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in the Eastern Expedition.The great unification of China is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No matter which emperor, unless he is born with inadequacies, no one is willing to separate the regime.

In order to prevent Xia Guo Dou Jiande from interfering in Datang's strategic action to attack Wang Shichong, Li Yuan ordered Li Shentong, the king of Yongkang County, to serve as the general of the right Yiwei and concurrently as the pacifying ambassador of Shandong Province. The Tang army in the entire area east of Taihang Mountain was under the control of Li Shentong.In order to resist Dou Jiande, Datang established Hebei Xingtai after Li Shimin's expedition, and Li Shentong was the left servant of Xingtai Shangshu.

However, the difference between Li Shentong's Xingtai Shangshu Zuo Pushe and Qu Tutong's Shanxi Dao Xingtai Shangshu Zuo Pushe is that his Zuo Pushe does not have a top Xingtai Shangshu order. Ling Yao leads, which means that Li Shentong is the real leader.

But it is very pitiful that most of the Tang Army under Li Shentong's command was adapted from the Shandong Rebel Army. No matter the equipment or morale, they were far from the Guanzhong Tang Army. , Li Shentong's soldiers and horses couldn't resist.In desperation, Li Shentong had no choice but to lead the remnants to break through.

They ran all the way to Lin Lu Mountain in panic all day long, but the morale of the Xia army surged up to Lin Lu Mountain like a tide, with fire attacks, crossbow arrows, and tens of thousands of soldiers.

In fact, the strength gap between the two sides is too great. Unless they are elite troops, there is no need to fight. Just seeing the densely packed enemies below the mountain, I have already been frightened to the point of weakness.

Xia Guo's general Liu Jintang, who was handsome but dark-eyed, looked at Da Tao of Li Shentong and said, "Fuck you all, hurry up and capture Li Shentong before His Majesty arrives."

All the generals and soldiers of the Xia army roared and climbed up while gritting their teeth.As the killing cries got closer, Li Shentong seemed to be dumbfounded and remained motionless.

PS: The third update is over today, good night everyone, now Lao Cheng is on the train home, it is very hard to buy a hard seat, it is estimated that the update will be very late tomorrow, I hope everyone understands.
