Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 523

Chapter [-] How can national affairs be a trifling matter
When Li Yuan convened a group of ministers to discuss national policy overnight, Chen Ying, who was eight hundred miles away, did not realize at all that he had crossed the river of time, came to this Tang Dynasty, and finally had a great love for his beloved nation and country. A brighter and brighter future is depicted.

Princess Pingyang is selfless, she didn't erase Chen Ying's contribution, but instead added sweetness and vinegar to complete the scattered and broken thoughts in Chen Ying's head.The last trace of dust covered by the Huaxia nation has been quietly wiped away, and Datang has quietly begun to move in another direction. In the east of the world, the Huaxia nation has begun to shine with an unusually dazzling light. How far can she go?

It was late at night, and Wang Shiyun, who was in Yanshi City, was tossing and turning at this time, without any sleepiness.The voices of the guards whispering could be heard in the ear, the voices were vague, Wang Shiyun got up, walked to the door on tiptoe, and listened carefully, the grumbles and complaints of the guards were heard intermittently.

"Liulang, are you hungry?"

"Stop talking, damn it, the more you talk, the hungrier you get!"

"Shhhhh..."

"Be careful His Royal Highness Qi heard!"

"At this time, His Royal Highness King Qi should be asleep!"

"Don't... be careful..."

Wang Shiyun could no longer hear the rest of the voice.Although he couldn't hear the voices of the guards talking, Wang Shiyun's heart could not be calm for a long time.

Regardless of the territory or the population under the rule of Zheng Guo, it is far from being comparable to Li Tang.In particular, supplies were even more scarce. Luokou Warehouse had already been sold out, and the Central Plains had suffered from wars, people's livelihoods had withered, and all industries were abandoned. Wang Shichong was able to collect very limited food and grass.Wang Shiyun's [-] to [-] troops were rationed with less than [-] shi of grain. As for meat, there was no food at all.Although Wang Shiyun did not withhold the food of the soldiers, each soldier can still get three liters of food every day.

however.

People are afraid of comparison.

But now, Chen Ying is supplying food in large quantities under the eyes of the generals of the Zheng army as if they don’t need money. Even civilian husbands can get a bowl of bone broth. The smell of meat wafting from Tang Jun's camp kept swallowing his saliva...

Wang Shiyun really wanted to yell at Chen Ying, but this could not change the fundamental fact that the morale of Zheng Jun was shaken.Now even Wang Shiyun's personal soldiers are shaken. As for the ordinary soldiers, I am afraid that they complain even more. A volcano that is about to erupt, God knows when this volcano will erupt.

Every time he thinks that the soldiers will weaken their combat effectiveness and loyalty, not to mention how depressed Wang Shiyun is.

……

Wang Shiyun was just depressed, but Dou Jiande was about to vomit blood.He personally led the generals of the Xia army to storm Jinzhou City, and he finally captured Jinzhou City regardless of the cost and day and night.In order to capture Jinzhou City, Dou Jiande lost more than [-] troops, and the camp was almost full of wounded.

However, Li Jiancheng led the remnants of the Tang army back to the Fenhe River, and set up a camp with his back against the big camp. Looking at this big camp, which stood on its back, Dou Jiande frowned slightly, and followed Ling Jing beside him and said, "That It was Li Jiancheng, he fought with his back against the water, he advanced and retreated without any panic, he seemed to be imitating the old wisdom of Marquis of Huaiyin (Han Xin)..."

Dou Jiande shook his head and said, "He is not learning from the Marquis of Huaiyin!"

Ling Jing was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Isn't this last fight the battle for the Marquis of Huaiyin to become famous?"

"Look, Li Jiancheng stands with his back to the river. In order to prevent us from attacking by water, he connected rafts in parallel, set up arrow towers on the rafts, and connected the outer front line with carts and shields!" Dou Jiande sighed: "The whole The camp was arranged in a half-moon shape, with the Fenhe River as the end of the month, and rafts and boats were arranged on the river. The main soldiers arrived with long soldiers such as chariot soldiers, crossbowmen, spears, and lances, and were supported by short soldiers with axes and hammers. , the cavalry maneuvered to cover, didn't Ling Qing think of anything?"

Ling Jing didn't see anything unusual at first, but after being reminded by Dou Jiande, he suddenly realized: "Emperor Liu Song Wu of the Southern Dynasty... but the Moon Formation!"

Dou Jiande nodded and said, "Yes, Li Jiancheng is imitating Emperor Liu Wu!"

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liu Yu, Liu Jinu, the founding emperor of the Southern Dynasties Liu Song.In fact, Liu Yu is also a master of the art of war. He joined the army for the first time as the Sima of Sun Wuzhong, the champion general of the Beifu Army in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His most famous battle was the establishment of the Queyue Formation. More than [-] infantrymen defeated the [-] elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty. .

"Defeated but not discouraged, standing there with a very different demeanor, standing out from the crowd, it is best to kill such a person, so as not to become a serious problem in the future." Ling Jing said to Dou Jiande: "At this moment, there are not more than ten thousand pieces around him, even if he is Use human life to pile up, but also get rid of him."

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!" Dou Jiande pointed to the general beside Li Jiancheng and said: "Beside Li Jiancheng, there is a flag with the word Xue word, presumably, it must be the son of Xue Shixiong, the former Sui Right Royal Guard General Xue Shixiong, I don't know if it is Xue Wanche or Xue Wanjun, Or Xue Wanshu? Forget it, no matter who it is, look at the more than [-] cavalry under General Xue's flag, all of them are well-equipped, and they are all good horses. The cavalry guards Li Jiancheng to break through, how many troops are needed to get rid of him?"

Ling Jing looked at Li Jiancheng's arrangement, regardless of the nearly [-] troops around Dou Jiande, it would not be easy to get rid of Li Jiancheng, unless Liu Heita could lead the Xia army cavalry over.Ling Jing did not continue this topic, but changed the topic and asked Dou Jiande: "Your Majesty, Li Shimin is in danger in Cijian now, and His Majesty even ordered someone to send Wang Shichong [-] stones of grain and more than [-] armor and equipment. If it becomes a climate, isn’t it raising tigers as a threat?”

"So what if he becomes popular?" Dou Jiande said with a smile: "If Li Tang's court can be defeated so easily, Liu Jintang's subordinates and the tens of thousands of Hebei men who died under Chen Ying's subordinates will accept their fate."

Thinking of Chen Ying's Mo Dao army advancing like a wall, the light of the sword flickering, and the men and horses were smashed, Ling Jing shuddered subconsciously, he smiled relieved, he really thought too much.It is said that although the centipede is dead, no matter how defeated the Li and Tang courts are, as long as the foundations of Bashu, Guanzhong and Hexi are still there, the constraints of the center on the localities are still strong.It is really too early to say that Li Tang was defeated.

Dou Jiande said with a smile: "The most important thing right now is to dig out the foundation of the Li family bit by bit to make it float. Old man Li Yuan, regardless of his young age, is really inferior to Li Dalang in terms of old age and seriousness. I don't know Li Yuan Where have I lived all these years. As long as Li Shimin dies at the hands of Wang Shichong, old Li Yuan will definitely live forever with Wang Shichong, and only then will I have the chance to compete in the world."

Dou Jiande is not sure how much chance he has, but if he can use Wang Shichong to hold back Li Tang's court, when he recovers in Hebei, then, whether it is attacking or defending, there will be more opportunities to maneuver.

……

In the middle of the night, the crescent moon is bright and clear, and the silver waves of the Fen River are surging. The lights of the turrets at the mouth of the river look like a bright star from a distance. On several rafts connected in parallel, there are arrow towers, like quiet beasts lying on the river. superior.

The breeze is bright and the moon is calm, and the waves are calm. Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng sat opposite each other in the cabin, drank wine, and talked about state affairs, both sighed.

Li Jiancheng received the Dibao later. After all, the land of Hedong and the south of Jinzhou were all occupied. The Dibao needed to be transferred from Longmendu to Lishi, and then it fell into Li Jiancheng's hands.Another latest report from the residence came back from the north.

Although Chen Ying captured Xingyang, he forged a deep hatred with the Zheng family of Xingyang.Li Jiancheng naturally knew the energy of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Although the Zheng family in Xingyang did not have the ambition to win the world and aspire to the supreme position, with the strength of the Zheng family, it was easy to destroy the good things of the Tang Dynasty, at least the entire Henan Province. The descendants of the Zheng family in Xingyang and the former officials of the Zheng family in Xingyang are unknown. If the Zheng family in Xingyang is brave enough, it is estimated that within a day, two-thirds of the counties and counties in Henan Province will change their flags.Now Chen Ying is unexpectedly blocked in Yanshi by Wang Shiyun.

Wei Zhengdao: "With General Chen's ability, he has precedents to follow. He breached Yanmen Pass in a day and Hangu Pass in an hour. However, a mere Yanshi City was fought for five days. There is only one explanation. General Chen was trapped hand and foot by the Zheng family in Xingyang."

"Not necessarily," Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Wang Shiyun is not mediocre, and he is definitely not comparable to Liu Wuzhou and Wang Renze. Maybe Wang Shiyun is especially good at defense, so that General Chen can't catch any loopholes. You have seen it in Jinzhou City, Dou Jiande There are tens of thousands of troops in the sky, when attacking Jinzhou City, if I hadn’t taken the initiative to retreat, would Dou Jiande have taken Jinzhou City now?”

Wei Zheng suddenly thought of another possibility, Chen Ying didn't want to break through Wang Shiyun's defense so quickly.In fact, if you consider the issue from Li Jiancheng's point of view, the later Chen Ying conquers Yanshi City, the better for Li Jiancheng.After all, there is no King Qin, and there is absolutely no one in the court to suppress Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuan's three adult sons, prince Li Jiancheng and fourth son Qi Wang Li Yuanji are friends, and they are almost all prosperous now, and all are harmed by each other. Without Li Shimin, I am afraid that Tang Dynasty would not have internal factional disputes.

Li Jiancheng looked at the lake in the distance and remained silent. After a long time, he sighed and said, "It's really a joke about family and country affairs..."

Wei Zheng sighed softly, looked back at Li Jiancheng and said, "His Royal Highness, I think General Chen can clearly distinguish the priorities of the matter."

Wei Zheng knew very well that without Li Shimin's struggle, he would have benefited from successfully ascending to the throne.He really didn't dare to put his hopes on Chen Ying's consciousness.

However, speaking from the heart.Wei Zheng really didn't want Chen Ying to turn the tide and save Li Shimin again this time.

Li Tang could afford to lose the [-] troops under Li Shimin and Changsun Shunde's command, so try not to save them if you can.

However, Li Jiancheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and said, "No, I must send a letter to Chen Ying. This matter must not be a joke, and we must ask Erlang for help at any cost!"
