Chapter 49 The Iron Tree Blooms to Deceive the Sky and Cross the Sea (Second Update)

Datang's war machine has already started. The household department prepares grain and fodder, as well as warm clothes, the industry department prepares armor, and the military department is responsible for formulating defense adjustments and personnel supplementary training.But it was a national war, a national war that Datang could not afford to lose.

In fact, Chen Ying is also preparing. Now that autumn has entered, winter has already entered upon arrival in Liangzhou. Keeping warm from the cold is the top priority. Combat attrition.In Chen Ying’s memory, cotton had already been planted in Gaochang State in the early Tang Dynasty, just because the cotton planted in Gaochang State belonged to the coarse staple cotton originally produced in ancient India. Because the output was too low, the fiber was thick and short, and it was not convenient for weaving. It was not popularized. In this era, although some people in Tang Dynasty planted it, they were regarded as flowers and called Baidizi.

Chen Ying knows the commercial use of cotton. As long as the production cost is reduced, cotton can not only obtain the current fur, kapok, and willow cotton, but also become the best filling for bedding, which can better protect against cold and keep warm.

Once the cotton cloth, cotton yarn, cotton thread and cotton seed oil are produced, not only can the living environment of Datang people be improved, but also the quality of life of Datang people can be changed.In this era, oil is a very luxurious item. Ordinary people are not willing to eat oil at all. Although cotton seed oil tastes bad, it is a very good source of oil. As long as cotton seed oil becomes popular, the physique of the Tang people will be improved. Can be greatly improved.

"Today's responsibility does not lie with others, but with my young people. If young people are wise, the country will be wise; if young people are rich, the country will be rich; if young people are strong, the country will be strong; if young people are independent, the country will be independent; if young people are free, the country will be free; If the country is better than Europe, the country is better than Europe, and if the youth is more powerful than the earth, the country is more powerful than the earth." This is a passage from Liang Qichao in "Young China". However, with the improvement of people's living standards, the height of Chinese teenagers has increased by [-] centimeters since the founding of the People's Republic of China. This is an indisputable fact.

It has been more than three years since Chen Ying came to the Tang Dynasty. During these three years, he has met countless people, but most of the people are sallow and emaciated, and fat people are rare.Almost all the fat people I saw were nobles.Conquering the Western Regions and developing cotton are now on Chen Ying's agenda.

While Chen Ying was writing and drawing, Li Xiuning brought He Yue'er to Furong Garden, when she saw Li Xiuning, Chen Ying was very surprised and worried: "San Niang, why are you here? This bumpy road, you must be exhausted!"

Seeing that Chen Ying was so nervous about herself, Li Xiuning felt even more proud.She said disapprovingly: "Chen Lang, don't worry about me anymore, I know my body naturally. Don't think that I am weak. Don't worry about Chen Lang."

Chen Ying habitually pulled Li Xiuning to sit down and poured tea soup for Li Xiuning herself.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying with eager eyes.Every woman wants to have a man who knows what's hot and what's hot, who is considerate.Chen Ying was very careful with Li Xiuning, and personally tested the temperature of the tea soup, and passed it to Li Xiuning when it felt moderate.Li Xiuning drank the tea soup happily, her eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled.

Suddenly, Li Xiuning said: "Chen Lang, why did you suddenly think of going out to support Liangzhou, with the left and right guards of the East Palace, the left and right Siyu rate, the Xiaocai Army, the Modao Army, and the Shesheng Army to support Lingzhou? You took all of them away, so there is no problem in Guanzhong, right?"

It was just such a sentence, but Chen Ying knew that although Li Xiuning hadn't heard the strategy of the court meeting, he had guessed the general plan.If only Liangzhou needs to be rescued, in fact, only [-] Xiao cavalry troops are needed, and Chen Ying is absolutely sure to let Tong Yehu know why the flowers are so popular.

However, Chen Ying's goal was not to keep Liangzhou safe at all, but to take down the Western Regions.

At this time, Chen Ying was also thinking in his heart, what a blessing to have this.Li Xiuning usually keeps a low profile and is very low-key, but it is undeniable that she took Ma Sanbao, a child guest, and a dozen confidants, and pulled together an army of tens of thousands, captured two-thirds of Guanzhong, and cooperated with Li Yuan to attack. Get off Chang'an City.

In terms of military strategy, Li Xiuning is indeed a heroine.

Chen Ying said to Li Xiuning: "Sanniang, do you still remember the vicious circle of fate I told you? What I'm going to do now is try to break that vicious circle of fate. The Western Regions have land, the Western Regions have food, and the Western Regions are more It is also the west gate of the Tang Dynasty guarding the east and west. Once the Western Regions change suddenly, the Longyou Dao will inevitably be in turmoil. Look, Tong Yehu Khan and East Turkic Jieli Khan must have a close relationship. I want to take the opportunity to destroy the Western Turks, or to create a Western Turk. As long as the Western Regions are guarding, when the Tang Dynasty faces the Eastern Turks, We will not be passive everywhere. If we station a fine cavalry near Jinshan (now Altai Mountain), once the East Turks show signs of going south, Mobei will inevitably be empty, and we can take the back road and use it to take care of one and lose the other. In this way, Datang will not be passive in strategy!"

Li Xiuning nodded and said: "No wonder, no wonder, if you defeat Tong Yehu in Liangzhou, I am afraid that Jieli will also back away, so you can fight at ease, I have me at home..."

Speaking of this, Chen Ying suddenly remembered that in history, Li Xiuning died unexpectedly around April of the fourth year of Wude. Chen Ying originally thought that Li Xiuning had a physical problem, but in this time and space, he asked Chen Huairen to carefully examine Li Xiuning's body. He is in good health, but Li Xiuning must not have died of illness. Moreover, Li Yuan buried Li Xiuning as a prince in history, which shows that Li Xiuning died in Sheji.

Chen Ying vaguely guessed that Li Xiuning must have been stationed at Niangziguan to defend against the Turks, and was accidentally killed in the war with the Turks.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying suddenly said: "Sanniang, you are not alone now, you must pay attention to your body, and you must never do strenuous exercise, especially leading the army in battle."

At this moment, a sound came from outside the window: "It's not like I don't have people in Tang Dynasty, why would I let a pregnant woman fight!"

Chen Ying and Li Xiuning followed the prestige, and at some point, Li Yuan had already arrived at the door.

Chen Ying and Li Xiuning bowed to Li Yuan at the same time: "Greetings to my grandfather, my respects to my father!"

In fact, Li Yuan just arrived, just in time to hear Chen Ying urging Li Xiuning not to go to the battlefield, Li Yuan said warmly: "Chen Ying, you can go at ease, Sanniang, I will take good care of you!"

Originally, Li Yuan would not leave the palace easily, but before he left, Li Yuan became more cautious.Because under the leadership of Chen Ying, the left and right guards of the Eastern Palace were very eye-catching in the battles of Luoyang and Hebei.Once the elite was allowed to leave the pass, Li Yuan couldn't sleep well.

What's more, although most of Dou Jiande's more than [-] surrendered troops were disbanded to work in agriculture, Li Yuan had already made up his mind to kill Dou Jiande.

Li Yuan was unsure about paying attention. At this time, he didn't treat Chen Ying like ordinary courtiers. In Li Yuan's eyes, Chen Ying was his half son, and his family must open up and speak out. answer.

Li Yuan learned that Li Xiuning had also come to Chang'an, so he took the white dragon fish suit and came to Furong Garden.

When Chen Ying saw Li Yuan coming, he knew that Li Yuan must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Since he came, there must be something important. Chen Ying directed at the maidservants, eunuchs, and servants beside him.

Seeing that Chen Ying was so sensible, Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Chen Ying, you are also a royal now, let's close the door, one family does not talk about two families, I take it for granted. Do not leave Guanzhong lightly. In Hebei, Hedong, and Henan, the left and right guards and the left and right commanders of the Eastern Palace have left a great reputation, and there are four guards to deter them. Even if there are changes in the future, Hedong, Henan, and Hebei can send troops to suppress them at any time. The four guards of the Eastern Palace will head to Liangzhou, if there are changes in Hebei and Hebei, I am afraid there is no need to worry about it."

Before Chen Ying could make a statement, Li Xiuning became impatient when she heard this: "Father, if we only send some mobs to Liangzhou, I'm afraid it won't solve the problem."

Li Yuan smiled awkwardly and said: "Of course, I also know that this is a bit difficult for others, but Guanzhong is very important, so I have to guard against it. Datang can't afford to lose now. Chen Ying, which army do you want to transfer?"

When Chen Ying heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

This is not because Li Yuan is afraid of him, but because Li Yuan is determined to kill Dou Jiande.If not, Li Yuan would never say that Hebei has changed.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if that's the case, then it's better to simply cheat."

"What's going on?" Li Yuan asked with interest.

Li Xiuning blinked and said with a smile: "Chen Lang means that the four guards of the East Palace and the sixteen guards are all not moving?"

"It's still Sanniang who knows me!" Chen Ying explained: "Your Majesty can order Li Shiji, the general of Zuo Wuhou, to lead the left and right guards of the East Palace, and the left and right siyu to go out of Taiyuan to prepare for emergencies. If so, I'm afraid the one who should be most worried should be Jieli Khan."

It's not that Li Yuan doesn't know anything about military affairs. Of course, Li Shiji returned to the Tang Dynasty, so he was a more reassuring general.Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Then to support Liangzhou, should the Marquis of Zuowu be the main guard?"

"No... there is no need to mobilize the left and right Wuhou guards!" Chen Ying explained: "The army of sixteen guards should not leave Guanzhong lightly. There are more than [-] elite soldiers and horses in the Shesheng Army, and [-] troops from Hebei can support Liangzhou. It is a long way for me to go to Liangzhou. Even if it takes a month and a half, or two months at the fastest, I can While training, we are marching, and when we reach Liangzhou, the army should be well trained."
