Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 806 An Even More Dangerous Battlefield

Chapter [-] A More Dangerous Battlefield

"Father asked me to recommend a Xuanwu gate guard general!" Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng in the East Palace and said, "It's hard for me to make a decision at the moment, sir, please help me with the details!"

Wei Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said with a leisurely smile, "Is there someone in your Highness' mind?"

"Yes, there is!" Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "The general of Xuanwu Gate of the Forbidden Army is Habayashi Zhonglang, who belongs to the rank of fourth-rank strong military general, and is on the same level as the left and right Qing Dao. —Yu Chigong; the other one is Chang He who rescued Jia in the Hebei battlefield."

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed brightly. Although General Habayashi Zhonglang of the Xuanwu Gate was only a fourth-rank general, but the soldiers and horses in the forbidden army were only two generals from the third rank; In other words, this is an expression of Li Yuan's trust in Li Jiancheng. Of course, this trust is conditional, so it is not a test for Li Jiancheng.

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng said, "Which general does Your Highness prefer?"

Li Jiancheng said without hesitation: "Of course it is Yuchi Jingde. After all, he has been with the widow for many years. He has a good temper and is quite congenial with the widow. More importantly, he is more at ease!"

Wei Zhengdao: "Xuanwumen camp is the throat of the Taiji Palace. For the generals in charge of the imperial army, loyalty is more important than closeness. Your Highness may as well give these two people a try."

"Try?" Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng suspiciously and said, "How?"

Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe..."

As he spoke, Wei Zheng whispered in Li Jiancheng's ear.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng suddenly said: "Come on, tell me about General He!"

After a while, Chang He, who was all dressed up, came slowly. Chang He had a hulking body, a righteous face, and an excellent appearance.In terms of appearance, Chang He is indeed more pleasing to the eye than Yu Chi Gong, who has a dark face and looks like a fierce man.

Chang He saluted respectfully and said: "The last general pays homage to His Royal Highness, what orders does His Royal Highness have?"

Li Jiancheng put on a face and said: "Chang He, now that the imperial court is preparing borders and defending against the Turks, there is a vacancy for the military commander in the strategically important Gyeongju. I want to select one of the generals of the Eastern Palace to take up this position. Would you like it?"

Chang He thought for a moment: "The general is a rough man, he only knows how to fight in battle, slashes people with his knives, he can barely do enough to guard the city gate, but it is absolutely impossible to go out of the town. Your Highness, the general is still willing, Stay with His Highness and be a personal guard."

Li Jiancheng said again: "You have to think about it carefully. Although Gyeongju is the governor's office of Xiazhou, the governor of Yizhou awarded General Yunhui, from the third rank, to follow Ben Gong, a mere guard, but only the fourth rank!"

Chang He said with a simple and honest face: "Your Highness, I am a rough man, and he is not expected to be an official at all. If His Royal Highness doesn't like me, I will resign and return to the field!"

As he said that, Chang He slowly lowered his helmet, took off Donggong Youqing Daosu's badge, and placed it in front of Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "General Chang, what are you doing, I just said it casually, but this is really a good opportunity. If you go out of the town, you can also be regarded as a great official in the frontier, shining on the lintel..."

Chang He knelt on one knee and said nothing.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chang He very seriously, nodded and said: "You go back first! Don't worry, I won't treat loyal people badly."

Chang He got up and left slowly.

At this moment, Wei Zheng who was hiding behind the screen slowly came out.

Wei Zheng looked at Chang He's back thoughtfully, and at the moment Chang He left, he clearly showed a smug expression, why did Chang He show this expression?This made Wei Zheng puzzled.

As for Chang He's lack of ambition for an official career, Wei Zhengquan thought what he said was bullshit.People who came out of Wagangzhai would have retired long ago if they had no intention of official career.In terms of making money, following Li Mi these years, Wagang, even generals at the rank of captain, have made a lot of money.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng pushed Wei Zheng and said, "Xuancheng, what do you think?"

Wei Zheng really wanted to say Chang He, but seeing Chang He's strange expression, Wei Zheng was a little uncertain.Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "Let's not come to a conclusion yet, just look at General Yuchi!"

Li Jiancheng said: "That's fine!"

When Yu Chigong arrived, Li Jiancheng said the same thing to Yu Chigong.Li Jiancheng waited quietly for Yu Chigong's performance, but Yu Chigong said: "His Royal Highness, look at this!"

As he spoke, Yu Chigong handed the secret letter to Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng took the secret letter, glanced at it hastily, his face changed drastically, and he rushed to Wei Zheng behind the screen, "Look, Xuancheng!"

Wei Zheng walked up to Li Jiancheng without embarrassment. When he received the letter, he glanced at it hastily and said, "This letter is fake!"

Hearing this, Yu Chigong was obviously relieved.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness, you should have many letters from General Chen here!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Not bad!"

"Your Highness, please find a few letters at random!" Wei Zheng was very cautious, he knew that Yu Chigong had subtlety in roughness, and it was definitely not so easy to believe in himself.He had to produce evidence that could convince Yu Chigong, otherwise it would be bad if there was a estrangement.

After a while, Li Jiancheng took out a stack of dozens of long letters and handed them to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng didn't even look at it, he opened a letter casually, then picked up the letter paper, handed it to Yuchi Gong and said, "Look, what's the difference between the two letters?"

Yu Chigong looked at it for a long time, but found no difference, but felt that the handwriting of the two letters was almost exactly the same.

Holding the letter paper, Wei Zheng looked towards the light, pointed to the watermark in the signature on the paper, and said: "This is General Chen's secret key, and there will be a Chen signature in place of his signature. Word watermark. This is a typo, and it was also deliberately written by General Chen!"

In fact, although Wei Zheng was smart, he didn't know that this was not a typo at all, but a combination of the traditional and simple versions of Chen characters.This kind of watermark hidden in the ink can't be found at all if you don't look at it with light or sunlight.

Yu Chigong was trustworthy but suspicious, and slowly took a few letters to compare, and found that all the letters Chen Ying wrote to Li Jiancheng had this kind of watermark, and this letter to Wei Zheng only had similar handwriting.

Wei Zheng pointed to the channel in Yu Chigong's hand: "Besides the secret key, there is another difference in this letter!"

Yu Chigong already believed that the secret letter was fake, but he still asked in surprise: "What's the difference?"

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "This fake letter is written on rice paper, but General Chen never used rice paper to write letters. Do you feel the difference between this paper and rice paper?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Li Jiancheng's head, and he exclaimed: "I understand, this is exactly the same as the fake imperial edict of Hebei!"

Yuchi Gong asked suspiciously: "What is their purpose for doing this?"

Wei Zheng chuckled and said, "General Yuchi, if this letter is genuine, what will you do?"

Yu Chigong said with a murderous look on his face: "I'll kill Master Wei first, and then..."

Yu Chigong knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly confessed.

The eyes of Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng met in the air, and the two laughed almost at the same time: "General Yuchi, why don't you enjoy your enmity?"

"Wishful kindness?" Yuchi Gong suddenly realized.

Li Jiancheng handed a short knife to Yuchi Gong from the screen on the wall. Yu Chi Gong looked at the knife. The blade of this short knife was no more than a foot long, the back of the knife was about two fingers wide, and there were serrations on the back of the knife. Murderous.

Li Jiancheng pressed his thumb on the copper-colored button of the handle, only to hear a soft "click", and the blade retracted neatly into the handle.

Yuchi Gong exclaimed in shock: "There is such a mechanism?"

Wei Zheng said: "General Yuchi, you can use this knife to stab me in the chest tonight, when Wei Zheng returned to the door after being on duty!"

Yuchi Gong suddenly realized.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Highness, there is one more thing, please do it!"

Li Jiancheng said: "What's the matter?"

Wei Zhengdao: "Your Highness, killing surrendered ministers one after another is not good for the Tang Dynasty's reputation. Your Highness should save Du Fuwei's life."

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng suspiciously: "Save Du Fuwei's life? Where do you start with this? Erlang has already married Du Fuwei to Jinlan. I don't bother to deal with Du Fuwei. Who will deal with Du Fuwei?"

Wei Zhengdao: "At the beginning, His Highness also advised His Majesty not to kill Dou Jiande, but Dou Jiande is still dead, and there was also a chaos in Hebei. In name, Du Fuwei has surrendered to Tang, but there are tens of thousands of well-equipped Jianghuai troops under his command!"

Li Jiancheng asked in disbelief: "How is this possible, Erlang and Du Fuwei are sworn brothers..."

"Du Fuwei is alive, and the Jianghuai army will only obey Du Fuwei's orders!" Wei Zheng said: "Now that the Prince Qin's mansion has just made an incident in Hebei, it will immediately separate the monarchs and ministers of the East Palace. Prestige and sworn worship is also a conspiracy!"

"Conspiracy? What conspiracy?" Li Jiancheng said.

Yu Chigong listened to Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng's words, he didn't want to leave or stay.

He is a smart man and he knows a thing.

The more you know, the faster you die.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "What does King Qin need?"

"Great work!" Li Jiancheng blurted out, "It's a great work!"

"That's right!" Wei Zheng said with a smile, "Li Jing from Wuyuan has been appointed as the head of Liangzhou, and the Prince of Zhao County is out of Bashu to pacify Jiannan Road. Jianghuai Rebellion?"

Yu Chigong said without hesitation: "King Qin!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and was silent for a while.

He knew it very well, with Li Yuan's temperament.Li Yuan, who had just allowed Li Jiancheng to make great achievements in Hebei, and who was unparalleled in the limelight, would definitely not allow Li Jiancheng to make great achievements again, otherwise Li Shimin would not be able to suppress Li Jiancheng at all.In this case, the Qin Palace or a series of people will definitely be sent to quell the Jianghuai Rebellion.

It is people who die for money, and birds who die for food.

Li Shimin is eager to gain military merit, and for military merit he can concoct a chaos in Hebei, so in the same way, what is it to force against Jiang Fu Gongyou?

What's more, once Du Fuwei dies, the Jianghuai Army will rebel. Once Du Fuwei dies, Du Fuwei's death can be held on Li Jiancheng's head. After all, Li Shimin and Du Fuwei formed a political alliance in Jinlan. In this case, Li Jiancheng has an absolute motive to deal with Du Fuwei.

Hearing this, Yu Chigong felt a chill down his back.

It was too scary. He never thought that political struggle could be played like this. It was simply killing people without blood.

Let him brain circuit, I am afraid no matter how much he thinks about it, he will never think of this!
Wei Zheng continued: "Du Fuwei can't die, let alone the Jianghuai army, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will definitely have another war!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "I understand!"

……

On October 22, the sixth year of Wude, a blizzard fell from the sky, covering Shule City with ice and snow.The fly in the ointment is that this blizzard exceeded the expectations of the people in Shule City, and more than a thousand houses were crushed by the heavy snow.

Ice and snow are ruthless, but Chen Ying is ruthless.Chen Ying immediately ordered the Anxi Army to mobilize [-] tents and more than [-] individual field rations for disaster relief.

It is very rare in the world to use troops for disaster relief. Of course, my rabbit is an exception.Most of the Anxi Army's military discipline was plagiarized by Chen Ying, so the Anxi Army heard the order to participate in disaster relief.

Watching teams of Anxi Army soldiers rushing into the disaster area crushed by snow, some people who didn't know the truth cursed angrily: "Damn it, there is really no way out!"

Although the snowstorm is cruel, compared with hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis or floods, it is already a very mild disaster. Unless the whole family falls asleep, when the snowstorm strikes, the people will actually have signs, and people who are directly crushed to death by the house Not many, seeing that the house is about to be crushed by the blizzard, unless it is a fool, it will not run away.

Although the house collapsed, the property in their home was not lost too much. However, as these Anxi Army soldiers rushed to the disaster area, the people affected by the disaster began to react violently. Some of them took up sticks, or Pick up a brick, once the Anxi Army soldiers dare to rob their belongings, they will desperately!
However, the soldiers of the Anxi Army who rushed to the disaster area did not go around looting property or women as imagined by the victims, but dispersed in groups.

Gao Gao, a lieutenant of the Anxi Military Academy, shouted: "Who is Li Zheng? Did he die? He didn't come out!"

Li Zheng, who was so cold and had a snotty nose, asked timidly: "Little old Ke Mengde, this military master, what do you want to do?"

Anxi Military Academy Captain said: "You are Li Zheng?"

Ke Mengde nodded and said, "Exactly!"

The captain of Anxi Military Academy said: "How many families in your family were affected by the disaster, take a few people to get tents, others are going to dig houses, search and rescue other survivors!"

Chen Ying is not omnipotent, casualties are inevitable, but because General Anxi quickly dispatched to participate in disaster relief, no vicious incidents of beating, smashing and looting were found during the snow disaster.Because of Chen Ying's quick response, he won the praise of the disaster victims and Shule people.

For a time, Chen Ying was not only famous for his prestige in the Western Regions, but also for his kindness.

Li Xiuning brought a bowl of noodles prepared by the maid to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying glanced at the noodle bowl, but remained motionless. After a long time, Chen Ying asked Ai Ai: "San Niang, tell me, what did I do wrong?" The court, why did you treat me like this? "

Li Xiuning sighed silently, put down the bowl, and hugged Chen Ying's head.

Chen Ying leaned against Li Xiuning's arms, his eyes became more and more confused.Chen Ying murmured: "When the Great Tang was in danger, even though I fought endlessly, I lived a comfortable life. Now that the Great Tang has flattened the world and ruled the world, why is my life so difficult now? On the battlefield Facing the enemy, I don't have the slightest fear, so why is the court guarding me like a thief?" Li Xiuning patted Chen Ying's shoulder comfortingly, put her face on his head and said, "Chen Lang, you made a mistake. Big mistake."

Chen Yinghuo stared at Li Xiuning with wide eyes.

Li Xiuning said: "You're wrong, and the fault lies in it. I didn't know Chang'an, and it's also a battlefield—a battlefield without swords and swords, but a more dangerous battlefield!"
