Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 667 Posthumously Conferring Your Father Liang County King (Part [-])
Chapter 80 Posthumously crowning Rufu the Prince of Liangjun ([-]st update)
It is really surprising that the Battle of Liangzhou can end so quickly.You know, Tong Yehu Khan led a full 20 Western Turkic step elite troops. These troops can beat the Sasanian Empire, beat Byzantium, and even went to the Red Sea to eat seafood. .

Compared with the Eastern Turks, the Western Turks are more fierce, cruel, and tenacious. How easy is it to defeat such a huge army?In the eyes of Li Yuan and Pei Ji, a gang of old ministers who are planning to build a country, Chen Ying's only chance of winning is the right time.

Winter in Liangzhou comes early. Once the snow falls heavily, the ice and snow cover thousands of miles, and the Western Turks cannot resist the cold weather. Chen Ying, who has all down quilts and down military uniforms, can naturally take advantage of the severe cold weather to force the Retired Yehu Khan.This is the most optimistic estimate ever.

But everyone never expected that such a great war would be defeated by Chen Ying three times and five times, and the seemingly invincible 20 army could not last even a month. A total of more than [-] people from other ministries turned against each other. In addition, more than [-] people were captured. More were killed by the broken soldiers of the Western Turks.

In any case, this is not important anymore. The most important thing is that Chen Ying did not use his full strength. He still has more than [-] recruits in Lingzhou, and he has not even sent out the barracks. Ten thousand troops, just [-] troops, actually destroyed the main force of the Western Turkic Khanate in one battle, and then not only captured Siyehu Ashina alive, but also beheaded Tongyehu Khan!
My God, how strong is the combat power of Chen Ying's troops?What else can stop them?

Of course, defeating the Western Turkic Khanate so quickly and rescuing Liangzhou did not satisfy everyone.On the contrary, many people were very dissatisfied with Chen Ying. Once the cannon was fired, ten thousand taels of gold would be paid. How much food and salary would be consumed in a war involving tens of thousands of troops?And according to the proportion of floating and disappearing, how much can they get out of it?Such a war lasted for a year and a half, I don't know how many people could be fattened, but the result was good, it was over in less than a month, this Chen Ying is really a shit-stirring stick!

A large part of the reason why Qi Jiguang, the war god of Ming Dynasty, was so bleak and desolate at night was that when he was guarding Ji Town, he made every effort to subdue all the Mongolian tribes. Side, the border is very peaceful.The border is peaceful, and if there are no wars to fight, there will naturally be fewer opportunities to make money, and naturally many people will be dissatisfied with him.As soon as Zhang Juzheng fell, the first thing everyone did was to attack him, bring him down, and put the Qi family army aside.Soon, the border wars resumed, and the Mongolian ministries frequently violated the border, the war continued, and the border people were in danger, but the princes in power were making money and making money... To put it bluntly, it was not because the Wenchen Group of the Wanli Dynasty had trouble with Qi Jiguang He is Zhang Juzheng's confidant, but because he cut off everyone's money.

Now Chen Ying is also like this. He is good at fighting. Some of the food is allocated from Hongnong, and most of it is supplied in Lingzhou. Don't mention how disappointed the officials who made a fortune in the battle of Liangzhou!
Although he was very dissatisfied with Chen Ying, because of Chen Ying's status, he was the son-in-law of Princess Pingyang, the son-in-law of the prince, and the brother-in-law of Li Shimin and Li Yuanji.Give Chen Ying eye drops, how Princess Pingyang will react, you may not think about it for the time being, after all Princess Pingyang is famous for taking care of the overall situation, as long as she has justice, Li Xiuning will never bully others.

But this bastard Li Yuanji is different. Whoever makes Li Xiuning unhappy, Li Yuanji dares to bring dung to your house that night. Of course, throwing dung is not serious.Seriously, if Li Yuanji's gang of minions killed a few of them, I'm afraid it would just be a mild scolding, and it would be great to dismiss him from office, but would Li Yuanji be afraid of this?

The ministers were disappointed, but Li Yuan was very happy.Originally thought it would take several months of fighting, but it was over in about twenty days. A lot of food and salaries to be allocated had not been shipped out of the treasury, so the battle was over, how much money was saved for him!
The most amazing thing is that Chen Ying can not only save him money, but also help him earn money!According to An Xing, after defeating Tong Yehu Khan, Chen Ying seized property looted by the Western Turkic Army, as many as 100 million guan, all intact, and handed over to the internal treasury!
After hearing the news, Li Yuan couldn't believe his eyes, it wasn't a hundred guan, not a thousand guan, it was a whole 100 million guan!How much is Datang's annual tax?Now even less than 500 million guan, the battle of Xingyang made a fortune, so that Li Yuan dared to withstand the pressure of the seven sects and five wangs, and endured the attack of the Zheng family. One hundred thousand horses.

Of course, Li Yuan was not an idiot either. Chen Ying handed over 100 million coins to him intact, and he didn't believe the nonsense that he didn't take a cent of it. Chen Ying must have made a lot of money, but he didn't care.Which official in Datang is not corrupt now?It's normal to get a little money, besides, didn't you leave him 100 million guan?It's much better than those guys who are greedy and greedy, but they don't take a cent off!
The most amazing thing is that Chen Ying did not return to the court at all, but continued to fight all the way to the west, which was bound to bring down the entire Western Region, and he even thought about the plan for the Western Region.In the first step, in the fourth year of Wude, Tianshan South Road and Tianshan North Road were first occupied, and Beiting Dufu was established.

So caring, so caring!
Li Yuan praised Chen Ying fiercely in front of Pei Ji. Chen Ying's move not only defeated Tong Yehu, but actually deterred Jieli Khan even more.

If you think about it, you can know that Tongyehu Khan's 20 troops did not last even a month, and Jieli Khan's 30 troops are definitely not much stronger.What's more, Chen Ying transferred the eighteen Zhechong mansions of the left and right guards and the left and right siyus of his former Eastern Palace to Taiyuan, which is only more than two hundred miles away from Dingxiang. What worries him most now is not Li Yuan, but Jie Li. Khan, with such an army of tigers and wolves beside his couch, he might not even be able to sleep well.

Pei Ji put on a face and said: "His Royal Highness is a lucky one. There are Wang Gui, Li Yuan, Wei Zheng and Pei Ju under his family, and Chen Ying, Li Shiji, Yu Chigong, Luo Shixin, etc. in Wu. They are really talented people!"

As the saying goes, there is no intention in speaking, but intention in listening.Li Yuan's heart suddenly picked up.

What Pei Ji said was good, the prince's strength has grown into a behemoth unconsciously.Especially Chen Ying, it is no exaggeration to say that Chen Ying alone is better than a hundred thousand soldiers.But Li Shimin is very miserable now.

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Pei Jian, what do you think about transferring Li Shimin to be the head of Liangzhou?"

Pei Ji's eyelids drooped, and he immediately understood Li Yuan's intentions.

Chen Ying's western expedition, although it can be supported by the materials captured in the battle against Yehu Khan in the early stage, but the materials captured by Chen Ying on the battlefield alone may not be enough for this protracted western expedition. There is a stable rear.

However, everyone knows that Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are at odds. It is no exaggeration to say that letting someone who is not Li Jiancheng guard the back for Chen Ying is equivalent to handing over Chen Ying's lifeline to Li Shimin. It should be possible to face the embarrassing situation of running out of ammunition and food.

Pei Ji is very smart. He knows that there are no secrets in the palace. Any of his attitudes may be spread outside. With Li Yuan around, he is No.1 under Li Yuan in the Li Tang court and above tens of thousands of people , but Li Yuan will grow old eventually, but once the future is settled, he is not afraid, but he is afraid that his descendants will suffer.

Pei Ji bowed and said: "The subject is entirely up to His Majesty!"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Let the Zhongshu draw up the edict. Now the Daozong guards the border and controls the people with the few. In the past, Cao Zhang, the Rencheng King of the Wei Dynasty, had the merits of defeating the enemy, and the Daozong was brave. It is similar to him. Li Daozong, the Duke of Lueyang County, was promoted to Ren King of the City, give General Zuo Qianniuwei."

Pei Ji nodded and said: "The minister obeys the order!"

After a pause, Pei Ji said again: "Your Majesty, General Chen has the merit of destroying the country and killing the king this time, how should he be rewarded?"

Li Yuan pondered.

Chen Ying's biggest problem is that he is not a clan, so he cannot be crowned king directly.However, although there were kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan used them as an expedient measure, and would take them down whenever he had the chance.However, Chen Ying has now grown from a second-rank town army general to a first-class founding duke.

How to reward Chen Ying is also a big headache.

Li Yuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Pei Ji squeezed the piece of paper in his hand. This piece of paper was a proof that he could withdraw [-] guan in cash from any bank in Datang Tongli Bank. month by appointment.

It was given to him by Ma Zhou, who said it was a wish from his master.

Pei Ji thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Chen Ying has a concubine named Li Siye after his mother's surname of Baicheng county lord. Since Chen Ying has nothing to reward, it is better to reward his son as Marquis of the founding martial arts county of the Tang Dynasty." !"

When Li Yuan heard this, he felt as sick as if he had swallowed a fly.Chen Ying is Li Xiuning's son-in-law, now Li Daozhen's son canonized, how can Li Xiuning feel so embarrassed?
Li Yuan is not only the emperor of Tang Dynasty, but also a father.

He thought for a while and said: "This discussion is inappropriate. I think it is better to restore his father's reputation. The former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent his father to Lingnan from the positions of Liang Guogong, Shangzhu Kingdom, and Da Sima. It is better to die among the disciples." I will restore his reputation and posthumously designate him as King Liangjun of the Tang Dynasty, Da Sima, and Shangzhu Kingdom."

For Li Yuan, this is actually the best way.Chasing a king with a different surname is actually a one-sentence matter. Of course, the most convenient thing is that this is not a bad example.What's more, whether it is Da Sima or Shangzhu Kingdom, they are all false.

Pei Ji smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Yuan said again: "It's inhumane to treat one more favorably than another. Let the Ministry of Rites make a book and posthumously designate his mother Yang as Mrs. Liang!"

After saying this, Li Yuan sighed and said, "It looks like we can have another good year this year!"

Pei Ji was deeply moved when he heard this.Since Zuo Ming opened the Tang Dynasty, he really hasn't lived a few days in peace.In the first year of Wude, Qianshuiyuan was defeated, and the Western Qin army directly attacked Jingyang, which was more than [-] miles west of Chang'an. In the second year of Wude, Liu Wuzhou smashed the land of Hedong into a mess.Only this year is better, at least I can rest assured to sleep a few more peaceful nights.

However, at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps: "Your Majesty, urgent report!"
